"A shocking murder in Wyoming, and a fierce gun battle broke out at Yellowstone Farm!"

"LMS may be involved, officials say it involves local gang conflicts."

"Tyson Denies Involvement in Conflict: Conflict with Yellowstone Farms Confined to a Commercial Level."

"The state government stated that it will investigate to the end."

"Corruption shady, investigative journalist shot dead."

Accompanied by a gunshot in Wyoming, the attention of the entire United States and even the world was attracted, and even the news of Artemis' successful orbit was suppressed.

Of course, what attracted them was definitely not the fact that John Dutton was shot and was rushed to the hospital for treatment, but the bloody battle that broke out between Yellowstone Farm and the attackers.

Generally speaking, the vast majority of the federal people are martial, which can be seen from the probability of their gun ownership.

As for this group of warriors, the story they like to talk about the most is of course the war between cowboys and outlaws that broke out in the remaining "Wild West".

In a very short period of time, John Dutton was portrayed as a stranger hero against the power, while his son Keith became a lone knight who avenged his father.

If this kind of plot is placed in a film and television work, it is enough to shoot eight or ten episodes, not to mention it still happened in reality.

Many people went to Yellowstone Farm to support - the kind with guns.

Thanks to their efforts, the first batch of scapegoats were quickly caught. A gang organization that was active in Wyoming was almost uprooted. Even the Indian reservation, which has always been hostile to the mainstream, also participated in this siege. .

The official attitude is extremely ambiguous. Of course they don't approve of vigilante behavior like Case, but on the cusp of the storm, they really dare not make too sharp voices.

If someone comes back and burns the fire on their own head, it will be bad.

After all, they are not completely innocent in this matter

Then, things started to develop in some weird direction.

Scenes that should have been handled by the government were taken over by civil forces, powers that should not have been delegated were acquiescingly delegated, and cracks began to appear in the original meticulous order.

In this increasingly fierce conflict, the official only retained one of the most basic roles, that is:

Judge.

For the first time, the government's control over the grassroots has been completely emptied, and replaced by a coalition that has formed an alliance based on public opinion and economic interests.

Someone is aware of the enormous harm this momentum could cause in the future, but unfortunately there is nothing they can do about it for now.

In the governor's office.

Arnold sat on a high swivel chair, while Munster stood respectfully opposite him, listening to his "teachings" word by word.

".The means you use are too radical. I have said from the beginning that even if you want to use extraordinary means, you must control the situation within the range we can handle."

"Don't you understand what is called 'range that can be handled'?"

"Deliberate provocation is acceptable, but indiscriminate harm is not; blackmail is acceptable, but kidnapping is not; murder is acceptable, but assassination is absolutely not!"

"The conflict between you and them must be a story of two interest groups fighting for the cake, not a story of a certain background force instructing his disciples to attack the city and seize the territory in order to take the cake!"

"Now, your story has gone in the direction we least want to see."

"You've got to find a way to get it back on track—I don't care what you do!"

Hearing Arnold's words, Munster spread his hands helplessly.

In fact, he was not clear about this principle, even this assassination was carried out based on this principle.

But the bad thing is that the people below have found an unreliable team to take charge of this matter.

They were gracious enough to do their job professionally and neatly, but they didn't realize that this was the point that Munster was trying to avoid.

It must be chaotic enough and rough enough. Only in this way can Tyson and the state government behind it appear innocent enough.

Long-range sniping?

Crazy. The right thing to do would be to stand by the side of the road when he leaves the farm and attack and kill him with knives, stones and sticks

Munster sighed, and replied:

"Anyway, I'll take care of it."

"Things haven't gotten out of hand yet, give me a little more time—of course, give Huangshi a little more time."

"Their anger needs to be vented, and as it happens, they can help you deal with the gang."

"Two birds with one stone, no?"

"Things are not as simple as you think."

Arnold's expression was serious and cold. He was not a smart politician, but he was not stupid either.

From the recent chaotic situation, he has already smelled danger—this danger is not aimed at Tyson, but at the federal government, state government, and himself, the governor.

He had to recover from the defeat in the shortest possible time, but he couldn't end the game himself.

This is a paradox. The vigilantes represented by Huangshi took away his power at the grassroots level, but if they want to get this part of power back, they must first hand it over to another party.

In any case, on my own side, I have completely lost the initiative.

His brows were tightly wrinkled, and after a long time, he continued:

"No matter what, I hope you will remain trustworthy partners."

"We must continue to unite in order to achieve a win-win outcome."

"If anyone betrays the other party during this process."

"In the end, both sides will suffer."

"I see."

Munster nodded solemnly and said.

There was an imperceptible cunning in his eyes.

Yes, at this moment in time, he still has to "cooperate" with the authorities.

Because one's own power has not really expanded, and it has not yet reached the level of controlling the overall situation.

But who can tell clearly what will happen in the future?

One day, there will always be an opportunity, and one's own side will jump up and stand on top of the official.

——

Of course, Arnold's idea is no different from his.

At this time, he was also planning how to use Tyson to complete the goal of centralization, and then kicked it away.

They all think that they are "using" each other, but in a sense, they are just being used by the other party.

As for who will be the final winner, they all hope that it will be themselves.

But maybe, winners just don't emerge from them?

"Will he survive?"

Outside the ICU ward, Case looked at the doctor and asked.

His eyes were extremely calm, and there was no sign of viciousness, violence, or cruelty in his expression, but even so, when he heard his question, the doctor opposite couldn't help but shudder.

Because he knew that it was this man who, just a few hours ago, poured dozens of bullets on some unlucky guy who was caught.

Even his face was still faintly visible with blood stains, which was proof that he had avenged his father.

Under his calm appearance, I don't know how fierce anger is burning. If I answer a wrong sentence, maybe I will end up like those unlucky people.

Thinking of this, the doctor carefully considered his words, and answered after a long time:

"It should be said that he was very lucky. Although the bullet shattered one of his kidneys, it passed directly through his body and did not scurry around in his body."

"This gives us at least a chance to rescue him. Judging from the current situation, his condition is not stable, but his chance of survival is still very high."

"We will work hard to keep him alive, you can rest assured of that."

"Believe me, even if everyone in the world wants him to die, as a doctor, I will choose to let him live, because I will not make fun of my career."

Hearing the doctor's swear words, Case finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He really couldn't bear the departure of his own father—for quite a long time, John Dutton was his role model in life, even an idol and a myth.

Even his own life is imitating his father's trajectory.

Join the army, train, herd, marry and have children.

He once thought that he would become a qualified farmer like his father.

But obviously, this is no longer possible.

Someone personally ruined the life he dreamed of, but his counterattack seemed so powerless.

Case slightly closed his eyes, looked at the nervous doctor opposite, and said:

"Doctor, don't worry, I trust you."

"However, I must warn you that if any accident happens in the hospital afterwards, I will be the first to suspect you."

"You know, I can't take risks. So, I can only choose to use the most primitive way to eliminate risks."

"I see!"

The doctor answered quickly.

"We have allowed the security personnel of LMS company to enter the hospital-they are your people, even if you can't trust us, you should trust them, right?"

Case nodded and said nothing.

Seeing his performance, the doctor quickly left his sight.

And after he left, another man came over to Case.

And this person is the backbone of this revenge operation, the most loyal member of Yellowstone Farm except Case, Lip.

"I've already arranged the next step. There are a total of 11 armed personnel in one stronghold, all of whom have participated in different types of violent crimes. We can use the power of the Animal Husbandry Committee to clean them up. The charges are."

"Cancel the action."

Case interrupted Lip, who froze for a moment, then raised his head inexplicably.

cancel action?

Did I hear it wrong?

After the shooting, Case has always been the most active person seeking revenge, that is, under his leadership, the gangs entrenched in Wyoming and related to the shooting were hit so hard.

And the purpose of doing all this is nothing more than to find out the real murderer behind the scenes.

Now, the answer has not been revealed, but you want to cancel the action?

What are you kidding?

When did we hold back?

Case also raised his head. He glanced at Lip's puzzled expression, and then said:

"Such revenge is meaningless, we will never find the real murderer."

"The reason is very simple. We all know who the murderer is."

"It's just that, because of timidity, we resist accepting the answer, but deceive ourselves, trying to find a more perfect scapegoat."

"But really... a scapegoat is just a scapegoat after all, isn't it?"

Lip frowned, hesitated for a moment and said:

"I do not understand."

"Is that hard to understand? It's the Tysons that want the farm, and the state government is behind them."

"No matter how well they cover up, interests don't lie."

"Whoever ends up eating the beef is the one who slaughtered the cow."

"The real revenge should be directed at him."

After the words fell, Li Pu's heart couldn't help but jump violently.

He could vaguely hear the meaning behind Case's words, but this "significance" was a bit too important and terrifying, so that he didn't even want to believe his ears for a moment.

Revenge on the man who actually slaughtered the cow

This is not a small fight, nor is it like what Huangshi did before, holding the public order law in his hand to "do justice for the sky", but directly overturning the roof.

This kind of action——no, even if it is such a train of thought, it is actually extremely dangerous.

"What exactly are you trying to do?"

asked Lip.

"What do I want to do?"

A mocking smile appeared on Case's face.

Then he opened his mouth and said:

"It's not what I want to do, it's what they want to do."

"We are losing our land, we are losing our resources, we are losing our right to dream."

"And all of this is thanks to them."

"They are almost unable to hold on, so they can only dig some meat from us to feed their ever-greedy appetite."

"Right now, they just want the farm."

"But soon, they're going to want more."

"They're going to want the money we have in the bank, they're going to want the food we've buried in the ground, they're going to want every inch of our bones and muscles."

"Capital and power have colluded, and the machine of exploitation is operating with unprecedented efficiency."

"We're going to be ground up, we're going to be made into feed and nutrients, and we're going to be buried in this already muddy ground."

"Nobody wants to be someone else's fodder, Lip"

"There is only one way to change our ending, and that is to completely destroy this machine."

"Do you know what to do? The Tyson Group is not the key to the problem. Without Tyson, there will be Star Farmer, and there will be more capital groups popping up."

"only."

"I see."

Lip interrupted Case, he knew that the following topic was no longer suitable for discussion in public.

So, he skipped the foreshadowing and asked straight to the point:

"What are you going to do?"

Case's eyes became a little confused.

After a long time, he opened his mouth and said:

"Maybe, we should first gather a group of people who think the same way"
