Wedge hadn't recovered from his shock when Shen Ye pulled him up the stairs. Only then did he realize who had saved him. He quickly got up, grabbed Shen Ye's shoulder, and shouted, "Quick, come up with me to help Biggs. He's being attacked by Shinra's people."
"Don't worry, I'll go up right away." Shen Ye nodded, then looked at Weiji's bleeding thigh and asked, "Are you still able to walk?"
“Of course you can.” Weiji nodded, and just as he was about to try to climb up, he lost his footing and tumbled down again. If Shen Ye hadn’t stopped him, with his round body, he probably would have rolled all the way to the bottom.
"You should rest here."
Shen Ye dragged Weiji up to a small platform at the corner of the stairs, picked up a gun from the corpse of a Shinra soldier and threw it to Weiji, gave him an order, and then continued climbing up.
After climbing several more flights of stairs, Shen Ye arrived at a large platform where a fierce firefight was taking place, with more than a dozen Shinra soldiers besieging several Avalanche members.
Among them was Biggs, who used the buildings on the platform as cover to protect the severely injured Avalanche members behind him.
However, he only had one gun, and his original companion, Wedge, had been shot off the platform, so he was quickly pinned down and unable to lift his head.
As the Shinra soldiers drew ever closer, Biggs, in despair, threw away his rifle, which was now empty of bullets. He then stood up from behind his cover, drew a short knife, and prepared to fight the Shinra soldiers to the death.
Chapter 209! The Battle to Defend the Pillars of District Seven (Part 2)
……
But just then, gunshots rang out from the stairwell of the platform. It was Shen Ye who had come up. After taking care of the dozen or so Shinra soldiers, Shen Ye used his toe to pick up a rifle, grabbed it, and threw it to Bigus, who was still a little dazed.
"Leave this to me, you take them down first." After saying that, Shen Ye was about to continue climbing up.
"Wait, I'll go with you," Biggs called out, snapping out of his daze.
"Are you going to just stand by and watch them die?" Shen Ye pointed to the wounded behind Biggs. "If they don't get treatment soon, they're doomed."
“But… if the pillars of District Seven collapse, even more people will die, and we, the avalanche victims, will become the culprits in the eyes of the poor,” Biggs said through gritted teeth.
“I’m going to stop them from destroying the pillars of District Seven.” Shen Ye understood Biggs’ feelings and continued, “You can’t stop them with your abilities alone. No matter how many casualties you suffer, it won’t help. So take them down while they’re still alive.”
Biggs was still somewhat hesitant, but hearing the painful groans coming from the wounded behind him, he could only nod: "Then I'll leave it to you, Shen. You must stop them from destroying the Seventh District's pillars."
Shen Ye didn't say anything, but just waved his hand with his back to him, and then continued to climb the stairs at full speed.
For the rest of the journey, few Shinra soldiers appeared to stop him, so after expending some effort, the platform at the very top of the pillar appeared before him.
Above this platform is a control console that can control the support pillar. By simply entering the emergency number, the support pillar and the disc can be separated, making it easy for the seventh section of the disc to fall down.
However, since Scarlet had notified Tifa in advance, and only a small portion of the residents on the seventh disc had been evacuated, Shinra didn't initially send many people here. It wasn't until the Avalanche people recklessly rushed onto the platform that Shinra sent helicopters to transport some soldiers to fight with Avalanche for control of the console.
The top platform had become the fiercest battlefield on the pillar. Barrett and his Avalanche team, with Claude's help, were fighting soldiers who kept coming down from helicopters for control of the control console in the center of the platform. Almost every second someone fell, but the next second someone else would fill that position.
Seeing that the attack was proving unsuccessful, Shinra Corporation became anxious and immediately ordered its subordinates to send more armed helicopters to provide support.
With the support of numerous armed helicopters, the number of Avalanche members on the platform dwindled. By the time Shen Ye was about to arrive, only Barrett, Jesse, and Claude remained on the platform.
Although he calls himself a 1ST-level special forces soldier, Claude's actual strength at this time is far from that level. Under the attack of several armed helicopters, he can only futilely dodge on the top platform. After a long time, he can unleash a sword aura with a certain degree of threat to force back the transport helicopters that are trying to land. Then he is hit by a dense barrage of bullets and runs around in all directions.
Just as Claude was cornered by several armed helicopters and could only swing his greatsword to defend himself, the transport helicopter finally landed on the platform. Several members of the TAX disembarked, including Reno and Rudd, who had been scared away by Shen Ye earlier.
"Hurry up, before that guy comes up, enter the emergency number now!" Rudd urged Renault as he watched Barrett and Jesse rush out and shoot at them.
"Okay, I'm already doing it." Renault looked nervous as he rushed to the control panel and frantically entered the number. But panic makes mistakes, and Renault entered the emergency number several times in a row, but each time he pressed confirm, it told him the number was wrong.
Just as he took a few deep breaths and prepared to re-enter the information, he suddenly felt a familiar energy fluctuation. Without thinking, he jumped to the side and saw a pure energy ball hit the control panel.
Boom! The control panel was instantly blown to pieces.
Looking at the control panel, now a pile of scrap metal, Renault's back was instantly soaked with sweat. He knew very well how sturdy the control panel was. As the core of the entire support structure, it was difficult for ordinary bombs to damage it, since the support structure was related to the stability and safety of the disc.
He couldn't believe what would happen to him if that ball of energy hit him, but at the same time he was relieved that the target was the control panel.
"Hey, Renault, stop spacing out and run!"
Seeing Shen Ye appear on the platform, Luther's bald head was covered in sweat. After shouting to Renault, who was still lying on the ground, he quickly used the communicator to call for a helicopter to come down and pick them up.
Soon, the transport helicopter landed.
However, it exploded into a ball of fire in mid-air before crashing down, which startled Luther so much that he grabbed Renault and ran, dodging the debris falling from above.
Shen Ye glanced at them but didn't chase after them, because there were more and more armed helicopters overhead, so he had to deal with them first.
bang bang bang...
Shen Ye fired continuously, unleashing more than a dozen bursts of Nen energy, and several armed helicopters exploded into flames in the air.
Seeing this, the remaining armed helicopter pilots all climbed upwards, not daring to approach the top platform any further.
"Shen."
At this moment, Barrett and Jesse, who had a chance to catch their breath, ran over. Jesse excitedly hugged Shen Ye and kissed him in front of Barrett, Claude, a dozen armed helicopters, and the helicopter broadcasting the live stream.
Fortunately, Jesse knew this wasn't the right place, so he only kissed Shen Ye once before letting go.
Even so, the scene of the two kissing was still broadcast live. Although many viewers didn't care much, three women frowned at the same time.
Alice and Tifa, who were protecting Marlene, exchanged a glance. In their eyes, besides dissatisfaction, there was also confusion. They wondered when Jesse and Shen Ye had gotten together, and how they knew nothing about it.
The other person who frowned was Scarlett. She had been watching the live stream the whole time, and when she saw this scene, besides dissatisfaction, she felt more envy. She also wanted to hug and kiss Shen Ye in front of everyone.
However, she could only think about it; she had more important things to do now.
"Little sisters, are you ready yet?"
Scarlett took out a communicator and shouted into the person on the other end.
"Almost there, almost there," Yuffie shouted into the communicator, then winked at Sonnon before standing guard behind the door of the Shinra Building's live broadcast control room.
Sonon immediately pointed a thick stick at the Shinra employee controlling the live stream and said to him, "Play this recording, or I'll smash your head in."
……
Chapter 210! Praise
…………
The Shinra employee glanced nervously at the stick that Sonon was holding over his head. Although his superior always told him to give everything for Shinra, not to succumb to violence, and to carry forward Shinra's fearless spirit, the superior who said those words was now lying on the floor of the live broadcast control room with a hole the size of a bowl in his head.
"Thank you for the job, but I want to live." The Shinra employee silently said to himself. Although he knew very well that what he was asked to play would have an impact on Shinra, he didn't want to die yet.
The Shinra employee plugged in the recorder that Sonnon handed him and began importing the audio into his computer.
The audio file was small and uploaded quickly, but the Shinra employee hesitated and didn't press the play button.
Just as Sonnon was getting impatient, the Shinra employee took a deep breath and pressed the button.
The next second, the live stream of Midgar suddenly went black, and then began playing a conversation between Shinra's high-ranking officials in a conference room...
"What's going on? What happened?" In the operations office, when Heidegger saw the live broadcast being cut off, he flew into a rage, grabbed the soldier in front of him, and yelled at him.
"I...I'm not quite sure either, Minister Heidegger. Maybe...maybe it's a bad signal, or there's a problem with the control room." The poor soldier was sprayed with spittle, but he didn't dare to raise his hand to wipe it, stammering out his guesses.
"Then take some men to the control room and check it out, and then send someone..." Before Heidegger could finish speaking, he heard a familiar conversation coming from the black screen.
"...The informant reports...most of the people who suffered the avalanche are hiding in the seventh block..."
"The Seventh District is very large, we can't find their exact location..."
"...What should I do..."
"It's simple. Don't worry about where they're hiding. Just send people to wipe out everyone in the Seventh District, just like we did in Wutai..."
Upon hearing this, Heidegger was completely stunned; their meeting conversation had actually been recorded.
But he didn't have time to think about who did it. He immediately yelled at the soldier he had captured, "Use whatever means necessary to cut off the power to the live broadcast control room."
It doesn't matter if his words are leaked, but the Shinra president's words absolutely cannot be leaked, otherwise no one can bear that responsibility.
"Minister... the power supply to the main control room is independent..." the soldier said in a panic.
"It's over!" Heidegger's vision went black for a moment, then he heard the voice of the Shinra president:
"...Tear down the pillars of District Seven...Let the disc crash down...and then we'll claim it was an avalanche..."
……
"...Tear down the pillars of District Seven...Let the disc crash down...and then we'll claim it was an avalanche..."
When the Shinra president's voice was broadcast live throughout Midgar, all the Midgar residents watching the live stream were shocked.
"...It was actually...it was actually an order from the president of Shinra..."
"In order to stop the avalanche, they were willing to sacrifice the lives of an entire slum."
"We've been fooled, we've all been fooled. The avalanche wasn't trying to destroy the Seventh District Pillar, it was trying to... protect the Seventh District Pillar."
Among the viewers of the live stream, similar discussions arose, and then more people joined in, until the voices merged into a roaring wave like a tsunami.
Inside the Seventh District, the controlled poor had been enraged and began to recklessly attack the blockade set up by the Shinra soldiers. Although they were suppressed by the Shinra soldiers with gunfire, as more and more people gathered, the Shinra soldiers, who were outnumbered, could no longer hold their line.
"I never expected that Scarlett would do this for Shen."
"She really went to great lengths to help Shen!"
Not far from the street where the conflict broke out, Alice and Tifa, who was holding Marlene, watched the angry crowd and sighed.
Although no one told them who did it, the two of them immediately thought of Scarlett. After all, as a high-ranking member of Shinra, only Scarlett would have the ability to obtain the meeting recordings.
