Chapter 81 Annihilating the Resistance Organization and Launching the Bandit Suppression Campaign

Chapter 81 Annihilating the Resistance Organization and Launching the Bandit Suppression Campaign

In the context of Western universal values, freedom is the most important aspect.

Therefore, resistance organizations also exist in the Elysium world.

Some of these resistance organizations are supported by conglomerates; they are essentially black gloves, used specifically to do things that are inconvenient to do in the open.

Another group was formed spontaneously.

Compared to the resistance organizations supported by tycoons, this self-organized group consisted of poor people, but they were also the most dangerous.

After all, compared to those resistance organizations that have backing, these resistance organizations have the lowest standards and are also the most adept at hiding.

Once the mob has ceased fighting, it can easily blend into the ranks of ordinary civilians and become difficult to detect.

However, technological advancements have made it increasingly difficult for these people to hide. After all, once their faces are captured on camera, the ubiquitous patrols and guards, along with aerial patrol drones, can quickly pinpoint their location.

This desert transformation project also exposed the spies of some resistance organizations.

Many people think that spies are mysterious and difficult to detect.

However, in the era of big data, some abnormal behaviors will be recorded. If AI artificial intelligence develops significantly, then these abnormalities will not need to be identified by humans. Artificial intelligence can immediately lock them in and then take the next step.

At that moment, the person behaving strangely was immediately marked by the drone in the sky after leaving the crowd. After tracking for a period of time, the drone also gave up the pursuit and returned to its original position.

Although the spy was unaware that he was being followed by a drone, his vigilance led him to circle the residential area repeatedly before finally stopping in front of an abandoned house.

By knocking at a specific frequency, the person inside opened the door.

Soon, the scout went inside. The person who opened the door looked around and, after confirming that no one had followed, closed the door.

Unfortunately, what these people didn't know was that along the way, various surveillance cameras on the streets had firmly locked onto them and tracked them all the way here.

Even the person who opens the door has their face image locked and uploaded to the cloud the moment they appear.

On Earth, inside the law enforcement bureau under the Ministry of Justice in this area, an alarm sounded, immediately alerting the personnel on duty.

"Level 1 incident, let me see what's going on."

Soon after retrieving the records, the officer on duty also became serious and immediately reported the information to the bureau chief.

Not long after, the captains of the three law enforcement teams arrived at the conference room.

"Gentlemen, according to the intelligence sent back by the Sky Patrol, we have located a rebel stronghold. The enemy is unaware that they have been exposed, so we must act quickly. The objective of this operation is not to kill these people, but to capture them. We need to know the information in their minds, so they must be alive. As for how they survive, I don't care. Do you all understand?"

"Yes, Chief."

As a newly established law enforcement agency, although it is short-handed, this refers to the shortage of natural persons; clones and robots are readily available.

Therefore, the law enforcement bureau's action team was the first organization to be established, and at this stage, it is mainly carrying out arrest or annihilation missions.

Soon, with all team members in place, the three action teams immediately headed to their target locations.

The action team here is also well-equipped, with 15 clones and 30 machine guards as team members, totaling 45 combat units, in addition to the natural person who serves as the team leader.

The number of personnel is small, only 5: one squad leader, one deputy squad leader, and three platoon leaders.

There aren't many people left, so they're all under the command of the squad leader.

"Report, First Squadron has reached its position."

"Report, Second Squadron has arrived at position."

"Report, the Third Squadron has arrived at its position."

"Reporting to the chief, all squadrons have arrived at their designated positions, all civilians in the surrounding area have been evacuated, and facial data has been uploaded."

"Let's begin."

Upon receiving the order, the three squadrons immediately activated combat mode.

"Activate the silencing force field."

"Silence field activated, radar turned on, all hostile personnel locked."

"Robot Guardian, deploy!"

"Neural grenade ready."

As commands were issued one by one, the prepared machine guards immediately moved forward and approached the house.

"Bang!"

The people inside weren't pushovers either. The unusual surroundings made them realize something was wrong, so they immediately went to the window and saw the approaching machine guard. They immediately understood that they had been exposed and opened fire on the machine guard.

"Get out of here quickly, we've been discovered."

"Damn it, how did we get discovered? Aren't these Elysium guys supposed to ignore us?"

They can't understand it now. In the past, the rich people in the Elysium never cared about them. At most, they would launch periodic raids, and they could just hand over some idiots to get by. They never expected that this time they would actually do it for real.

"Get out of the tunnel quickly. These guys are ruthless; they'll retaliate after we leave."

But before they could act, several grenades were thrown in.

"Grenade!"

With a gasp, everyone immediately dodged, but then they realized they couldn't move.

"Ugh!"

"Bang!"

As the door was kicked open, the robotic guards strode in, seized the person who had fallen to the ground, and removed all their weapons.

"Check their gums for poison or anything like that."

A squadron leader also ordered the machine guards on site to check whether the arrested men had any drugs hidden in their teeth.

After a thorough inspection and confirmation that everything was in order, the cloned personnel arrived at the scene to check the situation inside the base.

As all the data was collected and organized, the intelligence about this resistance organization was soon displayed on the large screen in the command center.

"Chief, according to the information gathered at the scene, this resistance organization called the 'Truth Society' has its headquarters located in a sizable cliffside cave by the sea."

Are there any buildings or civilians nearby?

"No, the surrounding area is deserted. High-altitude satellite reconnaissance also confirms that there are no hostages in this base."

"Good. Keep an eye on that place 24/7. Bring these guys back, read the information from their minds, and identify their leader."

"Yes, Chief."

Soon, these guys were taken to the law enforcement agency's underground base.

As probes were inserted into their mouths, technicians immediately began to read the memories from these people's minds.

To deal with these militants, the law enforcement agency doesn't conduct routine interrogations; instead, they directly access their memories.

They are not suspects and are not entitled to humanitarian treatment.

After all the memories were retrieved, the facial data of the organization's top leader was locked into the memory of one of the minor leaders.

"Chief, the facial data has been confirmed, and a Sky Guardian is en route to the target location for verification."

"Hmm, the data has been uploaded to the sky survey system. I reckon this guy isn't in the base."

"Yes, Chief."

Time passed second by second, and news came from the Sky Patrol Guards.

"Chief, just as you predicted, this guy is indeed not in the base, but in another manor."

This is a remote manor where people are still farming. This guy also has a public identity: the manor owner, who grows grain to supply the food processing plant.

"Have you figured out the situation of everyone in the manor?"

"Everything has been figured out. Apart from the leader, everyone else is just an ordinary civilian."

"That's good. Notify the action team to carry out the arrest operation. Also, notify the military to request a joint operation. Once we complete the arrest, the base will be handed over to them."

"Yes, Chief."

The enforcement team acted swiftly upon receiving the news and arrived at the edge of the manor very quickly.

Because civilians were present, the robotic guards had a harder time protecting the area during this operation.

The long-standing rule of Elysium has instilled a natural fear of the machine guards in many civilians, making them prone to stress reactions.

Moreover, these robot guards were all older models and did not have stealth modules installed, so the battle that followed fell to the clones.

"Activate stealth mode, approach cautiously."

The three squad leaders each led their own teams, slowly approaching the manor.

After entering the manor silently, they quickly discovered their target inside.

"The target is sleeping. Give him another injection to help him sleep better."

"yes!"

"call out!"

As a sleeping pill was injected, it hit the target's neck directly. The injection caused the leader, who had just been awakened by the pain, to feel his head go heavy before he could even react, and then he lost consciousness.

"The target has been apprehended and is currently making their withdrawal."

"receive!"

With everyone evacuated, the area returned to calm.

"Chief, the target has been successfully apprehended."

"Alright, notify the military, the operation can begin."

After the relevant information was sent to the military, the military acted very quickly.

A frigate descended directly from the rails and arrived at the rebel headquarters.

"Captain, target locked, weapon units ready, fire!"

"Open fire immediately and wipe them out."

"yes!"

"Boom boom boom!"

As the missiles, main guns, and ion cannons on the frigates fired, the cliff base below was instantly engulfed in dust.

"One round of attack has ended, and we are currently confirming the results."

As soon as the first round of attacks ended, the ship's radar immediately scanned the area below.

"Target confirmed destroyed; clearing mission complete."

"Alright, now that we've completed the mission, let's go."

As the frigate departed, the exhaust plumes from its jets dispersed the smoke below, revealing the aftermath of the bombing.

The cliff base was no longer there; the original cliff had completely disappeared, and more than ten meters of the ground had been blasted away with it.

Under such overwhelming firepower, you and your base are just as ridiculous.

The law enforcement officers who witnessed the scene through the Sky Patrol were all deeply moved.

Heavy firepower proved effective in dealing with these rebels.

"Chief, the leader has been brought back."

"Very good, immediately access the relevant memories. I need to know who's behind this guy."

"Yes, Chief."

If this resistance group's base were in a civilian area, they might just be considered an ordinary rabble. However, this resistance group's base was on the edge of a cliff, and when the Skyguards went in to scan it, they found that the facilities inside were very complete, capable of supporting at least 300 people to survive inside for a long time.

He would never believe that such a move was made without anyone supporting him behind the scenes.

Not long after, the relevant intelligence was sent over. After seeing it, the director sighed and reported it directly to his superiors.

The intelligence was quickly delivered to Fang Heng, who was speechless upon seeing it.

"As expected, getting these capitalists to behave themselves is not an easy task. Ethan, pass on the word: the joint military-civilian anti-bandit operation can begin."

"Yes, Commander."

Soon, with the order issued, the military and the Ministry of Justice began sharing intelligence and quickly identified dozens of resistance organizations.

These resistance organizations were not among those mentioned by the ten major conglomerates, but they also had the support of other capitalist conglomerates.

And coincidentally, these are mostly military industrial groups.

This situation reminded Fang Heng of the military-industrial complex of the US military in the main world; they were birds of a feather.

We need to be more careful in dealing with these guys, because they all know what happened to the top ten conglomerates. Some of them might become desperate and cause chaos.

The Ministry of Justice and the military acted very quickly, annihilating all the resistance organizations in just one week.

Meanwhile, inside Elysium, the machine guards acted again, arresting all the tycoons involved. For a moment, the other citizens in Elysium were also somewhat panicked, feeling that the new government was preparing to take action against them.

However, the authorities quickly issued a statement explaining the actions of these conglomerates, which quelled the near-riot.

However, through this incident, Fang Heng also discovered that the wealthy people in the Blissful Space were still an unstable factor. There might be some so-called good people among them, but it was easy to be swayed by them.

"Ethan, tell Wang Yang that Elysium needs stability. Any unstable factors need to be investigated and evidence gathered as soon as possible, and they need to be eliminated. Also, it needs to be done with reason and justification."

"Yes, Commander."

Wang Yang was overjoyed upon receiving the news. The head of state had finally made up his mind to do this. He had suggested before that these wealthy people needed to be screened again to identify any potential problems, but Fang Heng had not agreed at the time. Now that the order had been issued, it was not too late.

"Someone, issue the order to start Operation Qingfeng and send all these guys to prison to reflect on their lives."

"Yes, Speaker!"

Soon, as the robot guard squads went into action, more and more wealthy people were arrested, and the authorities put the evidence out in the open, making it clear to many that the authorities were serious this time.

But they were powerless to resist because the guns were in the hands of the authorities.

However, Wang Yang did not go to extremes. Some who committed minor offenses could be forgiven by handing over some company shares, but those involved in major criminal cases were still dealt with according to the law.

After all, these people need to be given hope. If everything is strictly enforced and there is no hope left, who knows what these rich people will do?

While using force to suppress unrest is fine, if unrest occurs and affects the stability of Elysium, then that's his problem.
