Chapter 21 Fighting for fame
Sixteenth floor of the bunker, level seven building, conference room.

The meeting continues.

“Should we really give such good medicine to the lower class? You should all be very clear about… the value of these medicines.”

“We have a lot of level 5 drugs, but we can’t solve the lower-level diseases.”

The one who spoke was the director of the Fifth Bureau of the Bunker’s Political Affairs Bureau. The first director was her former boss.

The two of them have played a lot of new tricks in private, the kind that would make people jaw-dropping even in the Tower of Desire.

Naturally, the youngest director of a political bureau in history could well guess what a director meant.

Level five medicine can heal injuries and restore a person’s injuries according to a percentage.

It can be said that level five drugs are also very valuable, but firstly, their effects are relatively slow, and secondly, they have almost no effect on the disease.

Level 4 drugs can only treat minor illnesses and injuries. Starting from level 3 drugs, including lower-level drugs, they are already drugs that are only effective for some injuries and diseases in human cognition.

Of course, there must be seventh-level medicine. Some people have speculated that this might be the “elixir” pursued by ancient emperors.

At this moment, the meaning of this charming female director in her early thirties was very clear:
“Are the lower class really worth spending such good medicine on?”

“Not long ago, our people arrived at the second floor of the bunker. Among them are doctors and the Security Bureau’s order-maintaining forces.”

“Everyone, although these drugs are a lot, they can indeed alleviate the current epidemic crisis…but what about next time?”

“This time it’s the lower class, what if it’s us next time? Our lives are not comparable to the lives of the lower class.”

“Without us, the bunker would be in chaos.”

silence.

After the female director finished her speech, many people looked thoughtful.

The second director of the bunker security bureau frowned slightly, while the sixth director of the security bureau had a livid expression.

After a silence of about ten seconds, the Sixth Director spoke up again:

“According to the investigation, this epidemic cannot be eliminated by any previous medicine.”

“Everyone, do you know what this means?”

No one spoke.

The Sixth Director of the Security Bureau continued:
“This means that this is most likely a precursor to the Great Devouring. Otherwise, where do you think this level of disease came from? Before the Great Devouring comes, there will always be some disasters.”

“This is completely different from the old days when a man fucked another man’s asshole and got some infectious disease.”

“Obviously, this is a warning of natural disaster before the Great Devouring!”

“Yes, of course your lives are precious, but the lives of the lower classes are certainly worthless. At least from the current situation, the lower class people are dead when they die.”

“But don’t forget that without those people…the external affairs department of the Bunker Security Bureau would not have any fresh blood.”

“At the same time, when the Great Devourer arrives, you and I, none of you will be able to escape.”

He paused for a moment and looked at the third director of the Security Bureau and the fifth director of the Political Affairs Bureau.

Normally, the directors would not suffer in silence, but when the Great Devouring was mentioned, their faces turned pale.

The Second Director knew that there must be an external enemy.

Sometimes, human unity still depends on external pressure.

Is the three towers a pressure? The three towers are not. Because the monsters in the towers will not go into the bunker.

In the eyes of the top leaders, the three towers are just a piece of land, or a forest for hunting.

What they were really afraid of was the Great Devourer, a disaster that could directly affect the bunker.

“Everyone’s life is definitely more valuable than the lives of the subordinates. But don’t forget that the subordinates are also serving us.”

“I mean, we should save them if they need to be saved.”

The second director of the Security Bureau tried to smooth things over and his eyes turned to the first director of the Political Affairs Bureau.

A director of the Political Affairs Bureau nodded:

“The Devourer is indeed terrifying. We really cannot afford to lose the main force exploring the three towers on the bottom floor.”

“In that case, arrange for the most knowledgeable doctors to start distributing the medicine as soon as possible and arrange a consultation from our top management.”

After saying this, the five directors of the Political Affairs Bureau understood what he meant:
“I understand. I will contact the people in the Bunker Media Bureau to increase publicity for this diagnosis and treatment.”

The Sixth Director of the Security Bureau showed a look of disgust.

Logically speaking, the medicine this time was brought by a child named Wen Xishu.

But next, I’m afraid it will be promoted as the credit of the top management.

The second director of the Security Bureau was smiling, but everyone knew that this fat second director was also a typical example of a smiling but dagger hidden behind a smile.

The Security Bureau helped out and the people were treated, which was good, but the Second Director did not want Wen Chaohua’s secret to be known to others.

If you want to go further up the ladder of power, you sometimes have to be more selfish. Only in this way can you have the opportunity to get in touch with the Elders Council in this life.

He was too eager to improve.

In the current situation, the Security Bureau and the Political Affairs Bureau have decided to rescue people. But Wen Xishu and the others have not changed their attitude. Therefore, he must find a way to use external forces to get Wen Xishu out of the control of the Bureau first.

The second director silently touched the bracelet on his wrist, waiting for his subordinates to take action, and his smile became more and more amiable.

……

……

Wen Xishu is suffering.

The first stage of interrogation is fatigue interrogation.

The so-called fatigue interrogation is to constantly ask Wen Xishu various questions, over and over again, and then through one or two mistakes, gradually destroy the other party’s logic.

However, Wen Xishu’s logic was not destroyed. On the contrary, he made the interrogator very angry.

“Wen Xishu, don’t think you can just pretend to be crazy. The higher-ups don’t care whether your brain gets damaged or not this time.”

Wen Xishu looked at the other party and suddenly said:

“Are you from the Security Bureau?”

“of course.”

“You can ask Liu Jinsen to interrogate me, maybe the effect will be better.”

“I might as well tell you that I am Xie Changfeng from the First Bureau of the Bunker Security Bureau. My rank is higher than Liu Jinsen.”

Xie Changfeng was quite proud when he mentioned his rank:

“The people in the second and sixth bureaus are a bunch of people who only care about climbing the tower and have no bottom line. Especially those in the sixth bureau. They are not qualified to interrogate you.”

Wen Xishu nodded:

“Then why don’t you just use those things? Veritaserum works better than you. I have nothing to say to you.”

“You interrogate like a woman.”

“Really? Either you replace Liu Jinsen. This has nothing to do with rank. Even if you become the bunker commander, my contempt for your intelligence will not diminish.”

“Either you use truth serum and stop forcing yourself, or you dance to disgust me? I might say it, but if you want to play tricks on me…”

Wen Xishu didn’t say anything else, just chuckled in a rather mocking manner.

He already knew some things. Just as he thought, there was no unity within the Bunker Security Bureau, and the positions among the six bureaus were complicated.

This means that he has more vitality.

However, he also knew that this interrogator had some hatred towards the Wen family, and he might not be able to stand it any longer.

After all, truth serum would instantly destroy his mental defenses.

So Wen Xishu thought of using words to provoke the other party, first creating a logic that if you use the truth serum, you will be invincible, so as to delay the time of being defeated by the drug.

Xie Changfeng was indeed enraged, and began to beat Wen Xishu. He cursed at her with foul language, but… he couldn’t beat Wen Xishu.

To Wen Xishu, getting beaten was nothing.

He took note of Xie Changfeng, whose rank was higher than Liu Jinsen.

Just double the amount in the future.

……

……

Wen Xishu was being interrogated by people from the Third Bureau of the Bunker Security Bureau.

However, the second level, the Third Bureau of the Bunker Security Bureau, and the Fifth Bureau of the Bunker Political Affairs Bureau did not forget to get benefits from Wen Xishu.

After the senior executives in the conference room determined the final policy, doctors from the second floor soon began to enter the hospital. After a brief job assignment, they began to distribute medicines.

The second floor was also quickly promoted.

“We, the Bunker Administration Bureau and the Bunker Security Bureau, have been trying to find a solution to this epidemic crisis.”

“We are connected with everyone, and we will always serve everyone!”

“Serving the vast majority of grassroots compatriots is our unchanging purpose!”

Twenty-four vehicles, equipped with loud speakers, were constantly promoting the campaign.

People followed the instructions and arrived at the door of the Level 6 hospital, where they lined up in a long queue.

These are patients waiting for treatment.

However, something unexpected happened to the top management, and they were not grateful to them.

No matter how the top management publicizes it, it cannot be denied that the medicine “belongs to Wen Xishu” the moment it is received.

This is the best publicity.

What the top executives had never expected was that the publicity for Wen Xishu actually preceded their decision.

This story starts with an insignificant little person.
