Kidnapping All Mankind

Chapter 5: Cages in the Great Hall

Views:

Several giant tire marks hundreds of meters long were rolled out on both sides of the double yellow lines in the square, and the transport plane stopped slowly.

The heavily armed soldiers in the cabin stood up one after another. Just as Wu Qingchen was about to leave his seat, Ji Mingming waved his hand and pointed to the depths of the transport plane's cabin.

Near the long metal table there, the bustling scene did not disappear with the landing of the plane. A dozen people gathered around the curtain and the display screen, speaking at a fast speed as if everyone was arguing, and the position of their palms or shoulders, The same number of walkie-talkies never rests.

A soldier who was probably the commander went back and forth between the long metal table and the front of the cabin, and the positions, postures, and angles of weapons pointing of nearly a hundred soldiers were adjusted again and again.

This situation lasted for a long time.

After all the weapons in the hands of the heavily armed soldiers were loaded and checked at least five times, and everyone's position was changed at least the same number of times, the hatch finally opened.

No one moves.

At this time, the cabin was much quieter. Wu Qingchen was stuffed into an armored vehicle, surrounded by dozens of soldiers, unable to see anything, only vaguely heard a few footsteps passing by, and walked to the rear of the cabin. end.

"What's going on? I didn't understand enough? Why is there a car outside?"

"Director Liu..." The voice of the answer was a bit embarrassed, "We have carefully studied this point, the location is too inappropriate, the transport plane can be said to be forced to land, and the tank entered the venue, this impact..."

"I will take charge."

"Director Liu, we are not afraid of taking responsibility! How much time did you give us in total? We only had time to evacuate this area. There was too much movement. Now there may be many telescopes staring here..."

"If you have a telescope, you can't have a sniper rifle? Can an armored vehicle stop a rocket launcher?"

"can affect..."

"Don't talk to me about the influence. The order I received has no influence. There are only four words: absolute guarantee!... I am in charge here. You still have two minutes. It doesn't matter if you don't have a steel plate. Do you think the tank can't climb the steps?"

Quick footsteps.

Two minutes later, there was a brief shock, several armored vehicles started at the same time, and slowly drove out of the cabin along the ramp.

It was almost dusk, but the area around the square was full of light. The street lamps, colorful lights, and exterior lights of the surrounding buildings were all turned on. Countless searchlights even illuminated the surrounding area of the square. There were circles of military vehicles and Groups of heavily armed soldiers.

The road guardrail in the middle of the square has been pried open and piled up in a pile not far away. Along the road that was almost forced out, the armored convoy and hundreds of soldiers who followed along the way stepped over the national flag stand, bypassing the people's heroes and becoming immortal , and finally climbed up the steps of the Great Hall of the People along the steel plate just laid.

Through an open gate, the armored vehicle drove directly into the left hall of the Great Hall of the People. Soldiers embraced Wu Qingchen and quickly passed through several corridors, and finally stopped at a long corridor. Ji Mingming and a dozen other people surrounded Wu Qingchen. Quickly rushed into a small hall, until then, everyone was obviously relieved.

No one asked Wu Qingchen to sit down, and there was no seat beside Wu Qingchen. There were a few obvious push marks pointing to the corner on the floor, where a large round table was placed askew, with flower pots, bottles and chairs messily upside down on it. In addition, the small hall was empty, only two huge pieces of glass stood beside the two closed doors, and there were several sets of pulleys under the glass.

Director Liu, who had heard Wu Qingchen's voice, whispered a few words to the walkie-talkie, the door was quickly pushed open a gap, and a middle-aged man in a suit squeezed into the small hall sideways, and closed the door with his backhand to block it. The noise that crept into the small hall with him.

The middle-aged man has thick eyebrows and a square face, is tall and walks fast. A soldier introduced him a few steps away: "This is Mr. Wu Qingchen."

This introduction was a little redundant. The middle-aged man stared at Wu Qingchen as soon as he entered the door, and his eyes hardly stayed on the others.

The middle-aged man stood still in front of Wu Qingchen. After arranging the clothes that were neat and decent enough, he looked Wu Qingchen up and down for at least half a minute before he nodded for some reason: "Mr. Wu Qingchen, you have worked hard all the way. I am Li Zi Ping, responsible for cooperating with you to attend this meeting."

The middle-aged man in front of him looks familiar, and his name is even more familiar. Wu Qingchen can be sure that he must have seen him in the news, but he doesn't remember his position, and he doesn't know what to answer. Fortunately, Li Ziping just paused and continued. : "Mr. Wu, the meeting is very important and hasty, and the participants are very complicated. You only need to talk to me, and you don't care about other people's requests."

"In addition..." Li Ziping pointed to the elderly soldier: "If there is any emergency, you can follow Comrade Liu Tao's arrangement."

Both Wu Qingchen and Director Liu Tao nodded, and Li Ziping looked around again, and there were no other questions: "Let's get started."

Director Liu beckoned and signaled Wu Qingchen to stand beside the two tall and long glass pieces. Two soldiers stepped forward and opened the door, and a buzz of conversation immediately flooded into the small hall. The Great Hall of the People was displayed in front of Wu Qingchen in front of.

Several soldiers supported the glass and pushed out of the small hall. Wu Qingchen walked beside Li Ziping and Director Liu.

The moment the three of them appeared at the side entrance, the originally noisy venue immediately became completely silent. A few seconds later, a huge wave of sound broke out violently. Most of them were concentrated on the first floor of the great hall, and there were almost no people on the second and third floors.

These are the voices of at least 3,000 people at the same time. The skin of the owner of the voice covers three colors of yellow, white, and black, and the hair is even more colorful.

At this moment, the bodies of these people are almost all leaning forward, and the gazes of three thousand pairs of eyes are all gathered behind the two giant bulletproof glasses.

Figures in wrinkled shirts and equally wrinkled pants.

Perhaps these three thousand pairs of eyes were too focused, or perhaps these three thousand people did not hide their expressions. Wu Qingchen could feel that these three thousand pairs of eyes condensed almost all the intense emotions of human beings.

They seem to be satisfied, envious, expecting, hating, contempt, and frightened; they seem to have found a treasure, and they seem to see a pile of rubbish; only devil.

So far, this is the longest and most difficult journey that Wu Qingchen has traveled in his life.

This most difficult journey is about 30 to 40 meters, which is exactly the distance between the side door of the small hall and the only seat on the rostrum of the Great Hall of the People.

This only seat belongs to Wu Qingchen.

I must be crazy.

Even in her wildest dreams, Wu Qingchen never imagined that one day she would wear a crumpled shirt and equally crumpled trousers, with a layer of body armor and a life jacket on top, and two more erected in front of her. A piece of bulletproof glass, standing in front of the only seat on the rostrum of the Great Hall of the People, in front of you are row after row of faces full of anxiety, panic, surprise, anticipation, etc. regardless of skin color, yellow, white or black. Wait for the crowd of almost all human emotions.

I must be crazy.

Wu Qingchen's mind was basically blank, and he didn't know how many times Li Xiaoping gestured patiently before he was trembling and frightened, and it could even be said that he slightly stuck his butt on the only seat on the rostrum in horror.

After carefully adjusting the position and angle of the bulletproof glass several times, two soldiers pressed a few keys on the instruments on one side of the glass. Several sets of brackets were placed on the bottom of the giant glass, and several drill bits protruded from the pulley. Drill the floor of the Great Hall until sawdust flies.

"Everyone..." There was no sound audition, no politeness. In the slight hum of the drill, Li Ziping took a microphone from the table in front of Wu Qingchen: "Everyone is sitting here for the same reason. Whether you have There are so many questions, we can hardly confirm the answer. We have tried our best: this is Mr. Wu Qingchen, and most likely it is a friend who you have met this afternoon."

Have you met this afternoon? Does it mean my dream? Wu Qingchen involuntarily turned his head and looked to the right. Ji Mingming, uncharacteristically, stood upright with a serious face, as if he heard what Wu Qingchen was thinking, and nodded slightly to Wu Qingchen.

"We have just determined the procedure, and time is precious. Now let's start the final vote on the fifth agenda item."

The venue that had been a little quieter immediately erupted again.

Many people stood up excitedly, and a blond woman on the right side of the hall even took off her shoes and threw them to the rostrum, speaking loudly with excitement.

Wu Qingchen couldn't understand a single word. He looked at Director Zhang and Li Ziping. They looked serious, neither embarrassed nor angry. Yes, we have passed the plan we agreed on. Even if you don’t respect our three-hour-plus results, you must respect the fact... Yes, I understand that you respect... We... No, it is impossible for all human beings now, and there is no time because There are also representatives who postponed the vote without arriving at the venue... "

Bigger sound.

"No, no, Miss Coles, Mr. Robert, ladies and gentlemen! This does not mean that the citizens of these forty countries have been excluded from all mankind... No, absolutely not... Of course they have not been excluded. Expulsion... gentlemen, they will not miss the vote if they step into the venue at any time, even at the last second."

The sound wave showed no sign of stopping or lowering.

Li Ziping had to raise his voice again: "If it is impossible for the representatives sent by these countries to arrive in time, these countries can also designate any one at any time like Tuvalu, Belize, and friends of the Republic of Honduras. Any citizen of the nearby home country, China or other countries, even any representative here, as long as they fax a written authorization approved by the United Nations, the result of the vote will be considered valid. Please believe that the United Nations has voted for this vote I have paid the utmost tolerance and effort."

"Please be quiet now..." Li Ziping looked around the venue, no matter how insignificant the effect of his words was, "The United Nations Security Council Conference on Astronomical Events has entered the final process of the fifth agenda item: the suspected subject of astronomical events--Mr. Wu Qingchen The confirmatory experiment for the final vote."

Confirmatory experiment? Human experiments

Wu Qingchen's heart was beating fast, and Li Ziping continued: "Because many representatives and Mr. Wu Qingchen have just arrived at the venue, we need to give you a brief explanation of the fifth item on the agenda."

"At 13:27:13 on May 8, 2012, at the same time around the world, regardless of day or night, the same celestial phenomenon appeared in the sky at different latitudes and longitudes at the same time."

"The current research shows that this celestial phenomenon is directly related to the subject of the observation. Different observers, observation instruments, and the final observation results are completely consistent with the observation angles."

"In layman's terms, at the same time, in the eastern hemisphere and the western hemisphere, on the street and on the top of the mountain, what everyone sees is exactly the same, and there is no difference between the front and the side, and the distance between any observed object and the celestial phenomenon will always be maintained at about 355 meters .Through further tests with helicopters and submarines, we have confirmed that this distance will neither increase nor shorten. At the same time, it will also appear in the water, because of the refraction and reflection of light, the display is relatively blurred, and experiments with other substances have also achieved certain results. …”

Eastern Hemisphere... Western Hemisphere... Worldwide...

It turns out that this is all true. It turns out that no one lied to me. It turns out that I really had such an amazing dream at noon...

From among the three thousand faces, Wu Qingchen recognized the faces that often appeared in countless TV news, and Wu Qingchen's suspicion completely collapsed.

"National countries have confirmed that astronomical events far exceed the current scientific theory level of the earth, and the possibility of finding out the specific reasons in the short term is not optimistic."

"At present, human beings on the earth are facing a more urgent problem: Another event triggered by the final part of the celestial event, which is tentatively named 'Red Seal'. That is, when the subject of the celestial event is accidentally injured in the final part of the celestial event, and the red mark is produced, all human beings around the world will The same red marks and the same physical sensations occurred on the same part at the same time, which directly caused many accidents and caused huge..." Speaking of this, Li Ziping frowned, looked away from the manuscript, and paused before continuing Next said: "... a certain loss."

"According to the extensive investigations of various countries: So far, the suspected subject of the most similar astronomical phenomenon in the world is our country, the citizen of the People's Republic of China—Mr. Wu Qingchen."

The venue was boiling again, thousands of people stood up at the same time, slapped the table, slapped their hands, threw documents, and the noise of shouting merged into one again, making Li Xiaoping's voice sound like a small boat advancing in the wind and waves.

"... Out of the most basic responsibility to all mankind, the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council agreed that it is necessary to further confirm the suspected subject of the astronomical event - Mr. Wu Qingchen, so as to absolutely determine the direct cause of the astronomical event as soon as possible. The main object, to avoid delaying the timing due to the wrong object, leading to the tragedy of the Red Seal incident..." Certain words in the manuscript made Li Ziping pause again, frowning, "The bad consequences of the incident happened again."

"Mr. Wu Qingchen's idea of conducting a confirmatory experiment on the suspected subject of astronomical events has rigorous theoretical and practical support: in most cases, the human body is subject to a certain degree of damage from the outside world or from itself at all times, the most common The most common situation is that clothing, footwear fibers rub against the human body surface, causing a small amount of skin damage on the body surface and capillary rupture. This level of subtle damage will basically not cause physical sensations, let alone cause any direct adverse effects on the human body .”

"The confirmatory experiment will be presided over by Professor Gu Feng from the PLA Naval General Hospital and Professor Luo Nanying from the Cancer Hospital Affiliated to Beijing Medical University. Using minimally invasive skin laser treatment, the upper arm of the suspected subject of the astronomical event - Mr. Wu Qingchen will be opened. A shallow opening of about 3 mm, which is convenient for naked eye observation and screening."

"In the past three hours, the United Nations Security Council has urgently arranged 755 experimental operations in 27 countries around the world. 97% of the volunteers said that they did not experience any physical sensations, and all volunteers did not have any adverse physical effects. "

"Therefore, the United Nations Security Council puts forward an agenda: conduct a definitive experiment on the suspected subject of the astronomical event——Mr. Wu Qingchen."

"In view of the particularity of astronomical events directly related to the personal safety of all human beings, the method of voting on this agenda has been adjusted to some extent from previous proposals. Regarding the voting rules for the agenda, you can read the documents on the table... just look at the top one , this is the result of the last discussion and sorting out half an hour ago."

Wu Qingchen immediately looked away from the noisy meeting place, and opened the top volume of the pile of documents on the table in front of him.

"Ladies and gentlemen..." Li Ziping looked up at the clock: "It is now 18:43 on May 8, 2012, Beijing time, and there are 17 minutes before the final vote... The phones on the tables can be used to communicate with domestic .”
