"All right."
The female judge knocked the gavel. Gradually, the applause and confession calmed down. Everyone stared at the female judge. The female judge looked up at the screen, pressed her lips tightly, and stared at the screen. In contrast, he finally sighed and announced: "Pai wins."
"Wow—"
There was thunderous applause in the courtroom again.
"clang-"
The female judge's gavel struck again, and the court suddenly fell silent again.
The faint eyes of the female judge stared at me, and the watery eyes gradually condensed into a cloud of mist, which was too hazy to see through, but the voice came very clearly: “In view of the defendant’s fault, this court now pronounces a sentence and punishes the defendant. Xu Yong personally went to the infected area to search for survivors and made meritorious deeds."
"Wow—"
Applause rang again. Everyone looked up at me. Their eyes were filled with hope. Together with the square on the screen, they were also full of cheers: "Hero", "Hero!"
"Defendant?" The female judge said silently when I saw me, "Can you accept it?"
I looked at the crowd, smiled bitterly, and spread my hands: "Of course—you can."
The applause sounded again. At the same time, the voices of "people's heroes" came one after another. However, when they were introduced into my ears, they couldn't cause any waves anymore, because I know that people are often blind, and they can do it for some reason. To praise you as a hero, but you can also be thrown into hell for the same reason, so...
I sighed and touched my pocket, thinking that at this moment, I really want to smoke a cigarette.
…
In front of the infection isolation door
I stood in front of the door fully armed, surrounded by rows of soldiers, all dressed in alien-like isolation suits, staring at me, while behind was a group of see-off people, not far away. It is the radar launching station, the protective cover of the isolation door has been opened, only the sky net inside has not been activated, but it has been prepared.
"Xiao Xu, be careful." Old Li patted me on the shoulder, like every mission.
"Don't worry." Attorney Wang said vaguely while wearing a mask, but he seemed to feel that this was not clear enough, and then took off the mask: "Don't worry, Mr. Xu, it doesn't matter if the mission fails. I will continue in court. It’s free to defend you."
When I said this, even though I was wearing a heavy mask, I couldn't help but laugh.
Lawyer Wang also smiled, and under the sun, the mouse's face turned out to look good.
At this moment, a voice rang in my ears: "Preparation is complete, the isolation door is about to open, and the isolation door is about to open. All other people and other people will evacuate and evacuate."
At this point, Lawyer Wang hurriedly put on a mask and ran into the car, but Lao Li didn't move. He only wore a simple breathing mask and looked at me with his back on his back, as if he was on a mission every time. The soldiers standing next to them began to prepare and all got into the closed car in front.
"Chief, please go back." I urged.
Lao Li gave a "huh", squinted at me, and for a long while, he suddenly said, "I'm sorry."
The leader suddenly said such a word to himself, it was almost... I didn’t know what to say. I smiled bitterly and saluted him. I was about to turn around, and suddenly I saw a closed car approaching from a distance, because The driving speed was too fast, and there was a splash of dust flying, but it was obviously coming to him, and it didn't hesitate to pass through the radar station and pounce straight to this side.
At this time the radar station had already started counting: "One, two, three, four—" However, when the count reached "5", because of the radar station, I had to stop suddenly: "Stop, stop."
At this time, the closed car had reached me and Lao Li, and soon the door opened, and a person jumped out of it, wearing the same closed clothes as mine, and walked toward this side quickly.
"Who?" I was taken aback, and looked at Lao Li. You must know that going to the quarantine area to search for "survivors" is actually a matter of life and death. To a certain extent, it is equivalent to dying, and the most terrifying thing is if you do A misjudgment was made and the infected person was returned to a safe zone. It was to bear the responsibility of "destroying mankind." Therefore, apart from me, almost no one was willing to go with me in this matter, and the military did not make corresponding arrangements. However, Unexpectedly, someone would be willing to travel with him.
"You are..." I looked at the man curiously.
"It's me." That person gradually approached, only then did he see the human face, it turned out to be a female judge? !
"Why are you?" I looked at the female judge suspiciously.
"Oh." The female judge smiled, looked at everyone's puzzled eyes, and simply took off the mask and explained: "That's it. I don't think it is appropriate to let Mr. Xu go to the infected area alone, since she is letting you go. Yes, then I'll follow along and be an assistant." As he said, a few people walked down from the closed car, looking like reporters, wearing simple masks, and hurried over. I looked at me up and down, and then looked at the female judge. A female reporter took off her mask and said out of breath: "Ms. Judge asked us to be a witness. She said that since she sentenced you to the infected area, she can't treat you badly. Decided to let you follow along."
"Yeah, yeah, she wants to go with you, let us be a witness."
Before he could say anything, a group of people came over, wearing special military uniforms and masks. The leader was Captain Li, the commander of this mission. Before he could say anything, he yelled, "What the hell is going on?" This is about to open the door, who are you?"
"Reporting chief." The female reporter turned around hurriedly and pointed to the female judge. "Do you know this chief, that's the female judge. She just sentenced Mr. Ren to look for survivors, but she was upset at all, so she wanted to follow along. , Sorry to disturb you."
When Captain Li heard this, he walked over and looked at the female judge up and down, frowning and muttering: "What's the trouble?"
"I think I should be responsible for the consequences of my trial." The female judge simply took off all the masks at this time and said coldly: "Since the defendant is allowed to go, I will follow and bear the consequences.
When Captain Li heard this, his face showed a little hesitation, looked at me, and suddenly looked at Lao Li, my immediate superior.
Lao Li didn’t say a word. He squinted his eyes and stared into the distance, but saw that a dozen or so closed cars were approaching. They quickly drove here. Many people jumped out of the closed cars and turned the camera and the screen without saying a word. , Projection, all set up, and then aimed at us together.
"What are you doing?" The female judge suddenly asked, with some vibrato in her voice.
Those people didn't say a word, they all wore thick masks and stared at us.
"Hey, what do you do? What are you doing with these?" The female reporter rushed to the front and shouted.
"Global live broadcast." The headed person replied coldly.
"Global live broadcast? What is live broadcast?" The female reporter opened her mouth.
The man stopped talking and only pointed the camera at us.
"Hey, what the hell are you talking about?" The female reporter was still yelling, but she heard Lao Li behind her softly "cough" and said in a vicissitudes of life: "This matter, in fact, it's something to say It's long, but I'll make a long story short." Before the voice fell, I heard the cameraman on the other side plug in: "Give him microphone."
Soon someone handed the microphone to Lao Li. Lao Li was not used to speaking in public. Seeing the camera pointed at him, he was a little embarrassed. I looked back at me. I laughed encouragingly. Lao Li gave a hey and suddenly passed the microphone. Gave me: "Come on, you are the protagonist."
I hurriedly said, "Chief, this is not right."
"Hey, what the hell are you doing?" The female reporter seemed to be irritable, turned and rushed over, staring at us angrily.
"Say, order." Old Li patted me on the shoulder and put the microphone in my hand.
I was wearing thick protective clothing and it was very inconvenient to turn the microphone. In the end, Lao Li simply carried it to me, put it beside my mouth, and said, "Let's talk, let's talk, I'll carry a lamp for you."
