Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 273

273. Chapter 272, Intelligent Prohibition

The demon hunters have a strong interest in Blackbird City.

The more mysterious it is, the more secrets it contains.

They can no longer dig out too much information on the three new regular lands in the west of the continent. If they want to know more, they can only sneak into Blackbird City. After

many attempts, they found several different ways to try to enter Blackbird City.

For example, they entered through the channels of material transportation;

for example, they pretended to be people from Blackbird City;

for example, they directly explored the surrounding areas of Blackbird City. Such a big city always has places that are not guarded, and they can sneak in…

However, these attempts ultimately failed.

They even sacrificed several lives for this.

In the end, they finally found a reliable way: to be recruited.

Blackbird City will absorb some people from outside from time to time to enter Blackbird City. No one knows what these people are going to do, but it is said that they will have a “better life”.

The demon hunters replaced the identities of some people in the outer towns who were about to be absorbed into Blackbird City. This was not easy either, but after all, Blackbird Heavy Industry’s external review was not as strict as that inside Blackbird City. They spent nearly a year collecting intelligence outside and integrating into the local community, and finally succeeded.

Five people were selected to enter Blackbird City; the remaining seven were not selected, but it was also good that they could receive and transfer intelligence outside.

Then, there was no news of the people who went in.

Elan Bird was one of the people outside. The intelligence that should have been sent out as agreed had never been received.

The people waiting for intelligence outside were also anxious. Today, more than a month later, a new opportunity appeared: Blackbird City once again selected their people in the irregular recruitment of personnel.

Elan Bird was involved.

They discussed it and let Bird enter Blackbird City.

It was a large black car, and he entered Blackbird City with more than 20 people in the car.

They were initially concentrated in a corner of the city. According to the manager, they will be assigned to different jobs and different residences later.

Bird found an opportunity and sneaked out with a hidden pistol.

However, he could not move in the city.

Walking in Blackbird City, he felt that the control of Blackbird Heavy Industry outside was nothing compared to that inside the city.

Here, it seemed like an extremely huge concentration camp!

People were strictly controlled, there were patrols on the streets, and people without permission and without serious business could not even wander around the streets.

The most terrifying thing was that the characters such as “civil servants” and “patrolmen” he saw all had significant body modifications. Prosthetic eyes and prosthetic limbs were the most common things. It was not uncommon to see those whose entire bodies were modified beyond recognition, with multiple mechanical arms extending from their backs and their entire lower bodies turned into four-legged deformed shapes.

There were even pure, automated robots moving on the streets.

This scene made Bird shudder!

He was not an ignorant person who knew nothing about various situations. He was a heretic demon hunter. During the days of “training”, his mind received a lot of information and knowledge. Before setting off, they also looked up a lot of things about the Fachers family that were collected within the alliance.

This scene almost immediately gave him an idea: Blackbird Heavy Industry violated two major bans of the empire.

“Prohibition of Automatic Machines Order” and “Prohibition of Intelligent Equipment Order”.

The former prohibits all non-human-operated (servoskulls are not counted, that is considered “human”) and automatic mechanical equipment; the latter simply prohibits any computer or computer-like equipment.

These two bans are to resist the ubiquitous “electronic demons”.

In today’s imperial world, the word “demon” may be more common, and the word “electronic” is really not seen.

According to the inherited knowledge received in his mind, any electronic equipment produced by humans, even if it is not physically connected to the Internet, as long as it has the function of automation and automatic calculation in this regard, it is possible to be invaded by electronic demons, causing this machine to “betray” humans.

Calculators will give wrong results; automatic robots will take up weapons to harm humans; automated production lines will suddenly start to assemble killing machines and riot…

Anything that is not controlled by “people” at key nodes will eventually betray humans.

So the question is: How dare Blackbird Heavy Industries?

Are they… not afraid of death? Are

the Fachers family… not afraid of death?

Bird realized that this was very important intelligence and information.

Although, he was far from knowing why all this happened. But he didn’t need to know it. Just what he saw on the street, if he sent it back, it would be a big deal. If

this matter was exposed to the sky, the Alliance would immediately get authorization to go to war with Blackbird Heavy Industries – of course, in fact, it was not necessary, the planetary governor could do whatever he wanted on his own planet.

It’s just that Blackbird Heavy Industries is a little special. It is the industry of the Fachers family. Without an explanation, it would be difficult to explain if a war broke out.

Now there is no need for an explanation.

Even the Fachers family themselves can’t protect themselves. Blackbird Heavy Industries has such a thing. I’m afraid that the people of the Imperial Inquisition will definitely go to the three Fachers family worlds to investigate it thoroughly.

Going further, the Alliance’s beating up Blackbird Heavy Industries is not as simple as getting authorization. If you are lucky and can apply for it, the Star Army and the Imperial Navy will come.

It may be a bit difficult in other places. In an ordinary imperial world, after applying, no one knows how long it will take to wait for the regular troops of the empire to come to support.

But in the Pegasus Star Region, this problem will be greatly alleviated.

The Pegasus Star Region is the core of many surrounding star regions and one of the second largest core and prosperous areas in the entire Dragon Eagle Star Region. The Pegasus Fleet and the Dragon Eagle Third Legion are mainly stationed in the Pegasus Star Region. Their mission is to guard and patrol the security and defense issues of many surrounding star regions.

Other places may be slow, but if something happens in the Pegasus Star Region, the Navy and the Star Army will really come to suppress it in minutes.

In addition, the Governor, or the Governor’s family, has a certain influence in the political arena within the star region. If something like this happens, the Alliance’s army may not have to fight hard. As long as the intelligence is accurate and the evidence is solid, the Alliance army can just keep guarding. Soon the Imperial Navy and the Astra Militarum will come to the Wrathful Owl Star and destroy Blackbird Heavy Industries.

No… Thinking of this, Bird realized another problem.

The Dragonhawk 3rd Legion, which is the Astra Militarum Army stationed in the Pegasus Star Region, seems to have a close relationship with the Fats Family. Their main base is on the three planets of Fats!

Hiss!

This is complicated.

Of course, Bird is just a spy. There are some things he can’t figure out, don’t understand, and don’t know how to do. That doesn’t matter. He doesn’t have to think about these things.

All he had to do was to pass on this information clearly.

However, even if he wanted to do this, it was difficult.

He could hardly walk on the streets of Blackbird City, let alone break out of the city alone.

Inside Blackbird City, at least the defense was not that tight. Although he did not have a proper identity to pass normally, there were not so many patrols on the streets. As long as he kept his clothes consistent with others and tried to avoid being seen, it would be fine.

It was a little slow, but at least he could move.

But to leave the city, he had to go through many checkpoints, especially the outermost one, which was too difficult. When they tried to sneak in, two people died without finding a way in. Now leaving would probably be as difficult as hell.

He was forced to wander around the city, trying to find his companions who had sneaked into the city before and ask for help.

He did not have much hope at first.

What he could see and realize, the comrades who had sneaked in before would definitely realize it. Such important information, if possible, his companions would not remain silent, and would definitely try their best to send this information out.

The reason they didn’t do that must be because of very difficult practical factors, but Bird hadn’t encountered them yet.

If he could find his comrades in the city, he would have taken fewer detours.

But one thing he was very worried about was: Are his comrades still alive?

Fortunately, he walked around the streets for two days. Under the continuous rain, he had no place to get food, but he made some unexpected discoveries.

He saw a sickle sign in a hidden place.

This sign was the agreed connection signal before his comrades entered the city.

Seeing this thing, Bird knew that his comrades were not dead – at least not all of them were dead.

Overjoyed, he found an arrow sign at the mark, wiped it off, and searched all the way. It took a whole day to finally find this place.

Knocking on the door, he met a child with modified eyes, who was pointed at by a gun. It turned out to be Tim Vent, but the other party had been disfigured…

Even though he had thousands of doubts in his heart, he still followed Vent to a room.

Here, there was another comrade lying, but he was breathing in less than out, and he would not live long without reliable medical support.

Bird’s heart skipped a beat, and a bad idea came to his mind.

This idea was confirmed by Vent: “There are only two of us left, and Oga is going to die too.”

Bird was silent, feeling heavy.

But he quickly adjusted his mindset and asked, “I’ve seen the situation on the street these two days, and the situation is very serious. However, you have been here for a month, have you collected more intelligence?”

Wen Te nodded, then shook his head: “As for intelligence, yes. We know that the way the upper-level policies of ‘Blackbird Heavy Industry’ are implemented is consistent with the intelligence we received in our minds about the ‘Iron Heretic’. They… they are raising humans and then ‘helping’ humans to evolve.”

“This is reflected in the fact that they will continue to absorb population from outside Blackbird City. These absorbed people ‘live and work in peace’ here and are kept in captivity by them. Then, according to the quota, they line up for ‘glorious evolution’, that is, they are transformed into those monsters that combine machinery and flesh and blood that you see on the street.”

Hearing this, Bird couldn’t help interrupting: “Won’t the people who were captured resist?”

“We can’t resist. They have no weapons and no unified organization. How can we resist under strict surveillance?” Tim Winter said, “However, as you said, not everyone is willing to accept this fate. That’s why we can survive. Little Si Ni… is the kid you saw outside just now. When we settled down in his house last week, we got help from his family. At that time, his parents were still there, but yesterday, his parents were in the queue for ‘Glorious Evolution’ and were taken away. In fact, he was going to be taken away too, but Oga and I hid him, and Oga almost died for this…”

“Wait!” Bird realized another big problem, “Have you been exposed?” A

helpless smile appeared on Tim Winter’s ferocious face: “What else? Otherwise, why are there only Oga and I left?”

“Then we have to move as soon as possible…”

“We have moved. This is not Little Si Ni’s home. This is a place where the owner has just been taken away for Glorious Evolution, and the new residents have not yet moved in.”

Bird felt even more depressed.

Although he already knew the answer, Bird still held on to the last glimmer of hope and couldn’t help asking, “Have you found a way to get out?”

Who knew that Vent grinned and revealed a terrifying smile: “Yes, and I’m waiting for you to come. Only you can do it.”

Bird suddenly understood.

He immediately understood what Vent meant.

These demon hunters are people who have a certain spiritual talent but are not enough to become a formal psychic. After being successfully trained, they will all get a special ability similar to psychic talent.

Vent’s ability is “flying pigeon”. He can use his spirituality to construct a flying pigeon to transmit information.

But the flying pigeon summoned by this ability is obviously not enough to fly out of Blackbird City, otherwise it would not have dragged on until now.

Bird’s ability is a weakened version of mind tampering.

According to Vent, the way he wants to escape is to use his own innate ability of mind tampering.

Bird said in a deep voice: “Tell me about it.”

…

One day later, on the second floor of a house on the street in Blackbird City, Bird waited nervously. He looked down from a small window.

On the bed behind him, two men were tied together, covering their mouths, with terrified faces.

A little further away on the street, several black, fully enclosed vehicles were slowly approaching.
