Xiaoya ran all day without stopping, from Gehena to Hongdong, from Hongdong to Xialai, and finally back to Gehena. If it weren't for the well-developed transportation in Kivotos, such a trip might have taken half a month.

The remittance from the Third International has arrived, and Eri has already started to operate the website. From today on, many of Gehenna's students will be redirected to the official website of the Spartacus Group when they accidentally open any software on their mobile phones.

Sorry to be mean, but it works really well.

So as the only one in the Spartacus group who can write code, Eri has to focus on maintaining the website.

Futaba was appointed as the Spartacus Corps' special representative to the Third International. Since the headquarters of the Third International was now in Hongdong, Futaba packed her luggage and moved to Hongdong.

As for the exam? Xiaoya and the others would mail the exam papers to her.

"Ah, it seems there's a new person here. Well, Kanna, I'll leave the recruitment work to you."

When Xiaoya saw a strange Gehena student peeking into their activity room to check on the situation, she knew that their official website had made a big move.

However, we cannot rely solely on the official website, as most of the members recruited are full-time students. Among them, students with advanced ideas can become their comrades after being baptized by the reading club, but most of them are probably just here to study.

Xiaoya has to try other factories. They are part of the Spartacus Corps and cannot leave the oppressed class.

This time Xiaoya is alone, so she doesn't have to worry about others, so she can do her job freely.

According to Huizi's suggestion, Xiaoya deliberately avoided the military factories of the tank manufacturing department and chose some processing plants in the civilian field.

For example, the "Gehena Volcanic Spring" mineral water factory is the largest drinking water production site in Gehena. Of course, they are also subject to the supervision of the Pantheon.

However, they are still the managers themselves, and the Pandemonium only sent an officer symbolically.

It’s not that Xiaoya didn’t want to find the tank manufacturing factory controlled by the Discipline Committee, it’s just that she simply couldn’t find it.

With the help of a work suit, Xiaoya easily got in, of course, as a dispatched worker.

The manufacturer doesn't care where you come from, as long as you are capable. Once you hand in your student ID, your weapons will be placed in the security booth, and then a robot in security uniform will throw out an ID card, and then you can go to work.

Xiaoya was a little uncomfortable without her beloved gun, but considering that her own physical strength could destroy the entire factory's defense force, Xiaoya didn't think much about it and just followed the crowd to the workshop.

The workers here don’t look like they have been “brainwashed”. Although their eyes are numb, Xiaoya knows that it is because they are tired.

The factory operates for twelve hours. Although the production line is automatic, the workers still have to drag the mineral water bottle preforms, caps, sealing films, etc. onto the production line themselves.

Unhappy? If you're unhappy, you don't have to do anything. If you don't do it, there are plenty of people who will.

There are still many students in Gehenna who need to earn money to support their lives. Factories also like to use these students because they are strong and difficult to get injured. If they are occasionally scratched by a machine, they will just faint at most, and they will not even suffer work-related injuries.

Xiaoya saw all of this, but she couldn't help sighing in her heart. If she hadn't been expelled from school, she would probably be one of these students selling their labor.

The temperature in the workshop was very high, and Xiaoya was sweating profusely. There was an air conditioner in the workshop, but it was used to cool down the delicate machines. As student workers, they just needed to stay cool enough to avoid being killed by the heat.

"Huh..." Wiping the sweat off her face, Xiaoya helped a student who was a little exhausted to pour the bottle embryos into the funnel.

"Classmate, are you okay? Drink some water." Xiaoya helped the student sit on the ground, then took a bottle of mineral water from a basket on the assembly line and handed it to her.

This is probably a benefit in the factory, you can drink as much mineral water as you want.

Of course, the water on the production line cannot be drunk directly. It contains some chemicals. Drinking too much will cause nosebleeds. The mineral water in the basket below the production line was put in by the workers on duty yesterday. It has been left there for a whole day, and the harmful chemicals have almost decomposed.

"Thank you, thank you..." The student panted, unscrewed the bottle cap, and took a sip.

"Where are you from, classmate?"

Xiaoya asked while paying attention to the situation on the production line.

"Central District."

"Why did you think of working here?"

The student smiled bitterly: "Oh, money, money."

Selling out yourself for two hundred and twenty United Coins a day, oh, the "human resources company" will deduct forty from you, and the remaining one hundred and eighty United Coins are yours.

Xiaoya stopped talking and said, "Money, money. What should I do if I don't have money?"

Of course, there was another reason for not speaking, which was because the foreman had arrived.

The foreman here is not like Shili who fights for the workers' rights. Seeing the robot wearing the same work clothes as them walking to the production line, Xiaoya stood up and blocked the workers who were taking a break. The workers were also smart and cooperated with Xiaoya to move behind the pile of cardboard shells until the foreman could no longer see them.

The foreman did not walk into the production line. He just looked at the machine's display screen, confirmed that the machine was operating normally, and then glanced to see if anyone was slacking off. Then he nodded and left.

It is not like these hard-working student workers who need to stay in a stuffy workshop for a long time.

"Bah, it's just the boss's dog, look at how smug it is." The student who had just been sitting on the ground leaned his head out and cursed the foreman viciously at his back.

The machine was rumbling, and of course the foreman couldn't hear the students scolding it.

Xiaoya's eyes lit up. The situation here was much better than she had imagined. The workers already had a basic class consciousness and would subconsciously curse the boss and his lackeys together.

It seems that the Spartacus Corps should be able to recruit a large number of new members here soon.

Between Progress and Reaction: Chapter 13: This is no longer an ordinary student, we must strike hard!

The food provided by the factory was terrible, barely edible, and far inferior to the canteen of the food supply department.

However, they only need the workers to survive.

In just one morning, Xiaoya had blended in with the group of workers, or rather, she was now one of them.

Xiaoya finally understood why theory says that workers are the most advanced class.

They obey discipline, have a certain level of culture, and naturally tend to stick together. With a little guidance, they can be armed and become a fighting team.

Could other classes do it? Peasants... well, I've never met a peasant, but I can compare them to small shop owners. How can they be organized? Not to mention business owners. If you ask them to fight, it would be better to hire some bad girls.

To guide the workers, you need to first integrate with them, then curse the boss and the factory with them. After building a good relationship, you can then gradually guide their thinking towards thinking about the unreasonable system.

Now, the workers here are cursing the boss spontaneously, and Xiaoya decided to be more radical.

"Money...don't you hate those agents?" Xiaoya asked the student during the short 40-minute meal.

"Oh, I hate it. What can I do? I wouldn't be able to find this kind of job without them. And they don't delay my salary and pay it to me on time. That's already considered good."

"Hiss, have you ever thought about raising the unit price? Even if it's one hundred and ninety a day, it's fine."

"Yes, but how can I do it alone? At worst, they can just fire me."

"That's right. There's no shortage of people doing this. Everyone has been very dissatisfied for a long time, but they are afraid of being fired, so they have endured it until now."

I don’t know if this resonated with everyone, but workers from several other workshops at the same table also started complaining.

"So..." Xiaoya thought to herself, no wonder Hongdong wanted to set up a trade union. Without a trade union organization, how could a single worker resist?

Xiaoya had an idea.

......

"Name?"

Kanna sat in the activity room and, with the help of Kazuka, registered the students who came to join the Spartacus Group on a form.

Eri's website does have some effect. Many ordinary Gehenna students who haven't found a club they like simply join the Spartacus Club. After all, this club only organizes a reading club on Friday nights, and participation is not mandatory.

Based on this, He Xiang is not optimistic about these new members.

"Comrade Kanna, most of these members are just here to join in the fun, right?"

During lunch, Hexiang spoke to Kanna, and Kanna, who had spoken almost a week's worth of words in just one morning, thought for a moment and understood what Hexiang meant.

"That's true, but we've already discussed this." Kanna raised her chopsticks; she wasn't a big eater. "For these members, even if they come to a reading club, our goal has been achieved. Essentially, it's just to promote our theories; the real core is the secret part of our club.

"Besides, these members can also provide cover for our secret operations."

He Xiang nodded. She understood that the club could actually be regarded as a peripheral organization of the real Spartacus Group. If the Pandemonium attacked the Spartacus Group in the future, they would probably only be able to capture some peripheral members who participated in the reading club, and the core members could hide under the cover.

Moreover, these peripheral members may also become core members.

"Keep working, there should be more people coming in the afternoon."

......

"Classmates, the agency wants to deduct our labor income. Do you agree to this?"

"No!"

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the workers in Xiaoya's workshop gathered on a production line. All the production lines were shut down by them, and Xiaoya stood above the stopped machines.

It was actually a coincidence that we were able to gather these workers in such a short time.

Almost all the workers in this workshop come from the same agency. They are all dissatisfied with the agency's deductions and are familiar with each other.

Moreover, the people of Gehena are simple and honest, and they really dare to fight.

It was the combination of all these conditions and factors that enabled Xiaoya to organize so many people.

"Then what should we do?"

"strike!"

"Okay! Let's go on strike! Occupy the workshop!"

Xiaoya shouted, jumped off the machine, and grabbed the collar of the foreman who had just come to check the situation in the workshop.

"Go tell your superiors that we will not resume work unless they sign a contract directly with us!"

Under the robot's horrified gaze, Xiaoya grabbed a bottle of mineral water and crushed it with her bare hands.

The foreman knew that if he hit it with that kind of force, it would go straight to the scrap center.

"Classmates, control the entrances and exits of the workshop! Don't let them send anyone to resume work!"

The student workers reacted one after another and cheered in unison. Normally, no one dared to step forward and lead them, but when someone really stepped forward, they would follow without hesitation.

So everyone took action, but they didn't smash the machines. They just divided into groups of three or two and blocked the entrances and exits of the workshop.

"Student, this won't work. We don't have any weapons. What if they call the Discipline Committee?"

The students who had rested under Xiaoya's protection in the morning asked Xiaoya, since all their weapons had been confiscated in the security room, how could they hold on without being armed?

The sound was not loud, but everyone could still hear it in the workshop where the machines had stopped running. The atmosphere on the scene turned cold and everyone began to waver.

Disciplinary Committee, if they are arrested and sent to a correctional institution, they will not be able to work in the future. How will they live?

"Okay, come on, some people, let's go to the security room and take our weapons back."

This won't work. If people's morale is shaken, the strike will fail. We have to take back the weapons quickly. Xiaoya called out and ran out of the workshop with seven or eight students and ran towards the security room.

......

"What? A group of troubled students have occupied the workshop at the mineral water factory?! Okay, I'll be there right away."

After hanging up the phone, Iori sighed. There have been so many troubles recently. It was okay that Convenience House 68 was not in Gehenna, but the Food Research Association and the Hot Spring Development Department also made them very busy.

Fortunately, they caught the core members of the hot spring development department with the help of the students around that teacher a few days ago, but it didn't take long for them to rest, as news came that another problematic student was causing trouble.

Originally, Iori didn't want to get involved, but this would probably give Pandemonium an excuse to withhold the funds of their disciplinary committee.

[Could it be that there is a new illegal group?]

"let's go!"

After activating the Discipline Committee Mobile Team, Iori picked up her rifle. She was determined to teach these hateful problem students a lesson.

Between Progress and Reaction: Chapter 14: A Heavy Punch Hit the Steel Plate

Attacking a security room is no problem for Xiaoya, even though he has no weapons.

"Oh!"

Xiaoya kicked open the door of the security room, and the security guard inside raised his gun tremblingly, but he knew it was futile.

Because before, seven or eight security guards outside focused their attack on Xiaoya, but Xiaoya knocked him unconscious with one punch each.

Xiaoya didn't use much force, and these robot security guards were just doing their jobs, so their circuits were just short-circuited and they would wake up after a while.

"Classmates, come on! Bring your weapons!"

As he spoke, Xiaoya grabbed his MP7 submachine gun. A sense of security immediately came over him as he got his beloved gun.

Now, even if Hinai comes, she can’t stop them from going on strike!

By the time Iori and the discipline committee members arrived, the student workers in the workshop had already re-armed themselves.

During this period, many student workers from other workshops joined their team, and they were also dispatched workers.

The workers directly hired by the factory did not join in the trouble, but they seemed distracted at work, so it was impossible for the factory to send them to resume operation of other production lines.

"Drop your weapons! Surrender now... What? It's you?!"
