Chapter 116 buy life
The man who was about to step into the door shivered and hurriedly took two steps back.
The soldier at the door shouted loudly, asking the old man to stand still and not move. It seemed that it would be safer to stay quietly at this time. Thinking about rushing out, it would be more likely to bump into the thing.
The old man obviously knew this, so he stood there straight, with only his turbid eyes circling around, as if trying to find the invisible and intangible murderous demon.
This extremely tense atmosphere lasted for ten seconds.
Ten seconds later, the rabbits in the iron cage suddenly became quiet. Instead of rushing left and right, they obeyed their long ears, quietly shrank to a corner of the iron cage, and continued to chew the wilted grass stems.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the two rabbits. After a few seconds, a gasp sounded - as if these people were floating out of the water at the same time, and like a steam engine spraying white mist at the same time.
The old man glared at the two rabbits with his eyes squinted for a while, then slowly raised his hand to wipe away the cold sweat from his forehead. Then another cheer burst out from the crowd - it seemed that if he had encountered such a thing and never died, it was a great honor and a very decent joy.
He grinned and waved to his companions again, trying to raise his foot to walk out one step, two steps, three steps. Then he walked back and forth in the door two more times, finally stood up again, waved to the family: "Come on, come on, come on!"
The family of three hurriedly dragged the box over and ran over, bowing their waists and lowering their heads, as if this would make them safer.
It takes about two or three meters wide to run over it for about two seconds.
So two seconds later, the three of them were already on the other side of the isolation belt. The old man turned around and was about to come back. At this time, the man stopped the old man and reached out to take out a stack of banknotes in his pocket for a while.
He said with the relief and gratitude expression after the disaster: "Come on. You can also take this money-"
The old man turned around, with a happier and joyful smile on his face. After hesitating for a moment, he reached out his hand and said repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you - then I will-"
The sound came to an abrupt end.
Because his head suddenly shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye. At 0:1 second, it turned into a balloon with air leakage, and then "collapsed" in the next second, decomposed, and turned into a gust of decay.
The headless body took another step towards the man before falling down on the rocking chair. The old and shriveled body lay on the ground like a shabby sack, and no blood even flowed out.
The thin blood flow gathered into several thin lines on the hot land. It winded towards the border next to the isolation belt door, and then quickly turned into dust.
The man was stunned for a few seconds while pinching the money in his hand, then he collapsed to the ground in the screams of everyone, and then jumped out with his hands and feet, stood up, grabbed the suitcase, took up his wife and daughter's hand, and ran to the distance in panic.
Li Zhen turned his face and glanced at the man behind him. The man was staring at the old man's headless body, and his throat clattered. He didn't say anything.
The silence now is in sharp contrast with the joy before. Even the immigrants waiting for "work" remain silent, only occasionally glanced at the corpse with a sad look on their faces.
Li Zhen didn't know what to say.
This kind of thing would never be accepted five years ago - any mature regime would legislate to prohibit such transactions. Now he is the highest official here, and as long as he says, such things can also be banned.
But the problem is... this is no longer the world of the past. The soldiers are used to it, and these immigrants seem to be used to it. Of course, the laws can be formulated...and what?
In this world, as long as there is a need, there will definitely be a group that provides needs. But by that time, these soldiers will no longer stand by and watch like now - maybe the organizers and agents of such things will become them. Therefore, more injustice and oppression will arise.
What's more, such immigrants are not allowed to do such things. What can they do? Now it's not the past, a hardworking person can always think of living. Even though the benefits have improved a lot, this type of person is not covered - because they are indeed a large number and will become more and more.
The officers there started talking. He tried to hire two people with his own money and asked them to carry the bodies out.
But this time no one stepped forward, as if the shadow of death just now was still lingering above everyone's heads, not to mention that the rabbits did not show any abnormality - just now, when the old man died, they did not show any abnormality.
It was a street for more than a minute.
So Li Zhen sighed and walked out of the team.
The man behind him said "ah" and he ignored it.
He walked to the door in everyone's puzzled eyes, glanced at the officer's shoulder and whispered: "You should do this kind of thing."
The officer frowned. But Li Zhen stepped into the door - a low scream sounded behind him.
He walked to the corpse, leaned down and grabbed his ankle with one hand, and sent the corpse back with force, then stepped out of the door.
He turned around and looked at the surprised soldiers and civilians, thought for a while, and finally said, "Fate is yours. Other people's lives are also fate."
He looked back at the back of the family of three and whispered: "I guess they will not be able to sleep well in the future."
Then he walked away.
The people behind him seemed to be still silent. In fact, he wanted to say a few more words just now, but he still didn't know what to say.
These people today, whether they are dead, spectators, or soldiers, are the same people, and are the same people five years ago.
But when the world changes, these people will change. Even if some people still have a kind heart in their hearts - for example, the male owner of the family of three - has to let themselves get cold and ruthless in this world. People's hearts are not old, because this world is not old.
However, these things are not like species or the need of the Gate of Truth—he cannot think of any way to completely solve them, and in fact no one can do it.
In the face of this natural force, any anger or resentment appears extremely pale and no point of venting.
Li Zhen walked along the hot gravel on the ground, shook his hands in a sensation.
Looking up, there was no one around. He looked very lively on the other side, but it was extremely deserted on the other side. Not only did no one try to run over, but there were no soldiers guarding him.
This situation is a bit strange - he noticed it from the beginning.
However, this situation can finally distract him slightly and get rid of the scene just now. This place should actually belong to the city area, and it is one of the most prosperous areas in Yuzhou in the past. Looking forward, you can see vague tall buildings. However, those buildings are hundreds of meters away, and the ground in this area is full of flat and fine gravel.
This means that when the isolation belt just arrived five years ago, it was eroded by that force, and it was slowly fading away later. The gravel on the ground, part of the wreckage of the building, and the other part... is probably the things that make up the human body. But now they are all mixed together, and even if they are collected, they have no idea how to start.
According to the previous plan, he should go north. Because there are two "gate" in this other Yuzhou Bancheng - one to the west and the other to the north. He is quite familiar with the information here. Although Xiao Heng did not allow civilians to enter and exit freely through the door before, he could not care about his neighbors at all. In fact, the relationship between the two parties is still harmonious and they will send liaison officers to exchange information from time to time.
The person who holds the highest power here was once an army general - it should have been influenced by Xiao Heng.
However, after Xiao Heng was executed, it is said that the "General Sun" here took the initiative to give way and reorganized the House of the Bancheng. This kind of thing is naturally a matter of course, because General Sun is still alive. If he really gave up all the rights completely, he would have died long ago.
However, this at least shows an attitude - what happened there did effectively intimidate General Sun here. The half-city envoy who is still living in the hotel next to the General's Mansion is the best proof. Pang Feihong had already contacted him back then, and it is said that his attitude was quite humble, and he repeatedly emphasized that "General Sun" had to establish a more efficient military government to solve the urgent problem because of the situation.
So is this the reason why there are no defenders here? Prevent conflicts between the two sides and cause unnecessary suspicion?
This approach is reasonable. Because both and half of the cities are called "Yuzhou" - when will the troops need to be stationed in the city center of Yuzhou?
He was alone, with almost no luggage, only a backpack behind him. The gun in his hand became less eye-catching because of the existence of the climbing bag, just like a staff.
Therefore, his steps were light and he could easily catch up with the previous family of three.
When he was more than ten meters away from them, he could clearly hear what they were saying.
The man was sighing, the woman was comforting him, and the girl was sobbing quietly, as if she was scared by the scene just now.
A word that women repeatedly mentioned is "life and death are destined". The man sighed and waved his hand to show that he could see it easily.
Li Zhen's footsteps gradually sounded behind them, and the man turned his face and looked vigilantly.
Perhaps his appearance is easy to make people feel good about it, or perhaps because his clothes are neat. The man glanced at him and nodded.
