In the picture, Panqing fully invaded the system and took control of New Century City's information channels.
In an instant, Rui's face appeared on shopping mall display screens, company computers, TV sets and other electronic terminals in every household.
The small scale on his face makes people subconsciously avoid it, for fear that they will be infected through the screen. But before the crowd huddled in the air-conditioned room could react, Rui had already spoken.
He informed the public of Dr. Carter's conclusion concisely and concisely, and announced that from now on, the entire New Century City and its citizens would be taken over by humans.
A lot of insulting remarks suddenly appeared on the social network. Not everyone could immediately accept the change in class position. They cursed angrily, saying that this was a human conspiracy, calling for the consul Yan Bing to appear, and more voices said Shouting:
"Why should I believe you? Even if I die, I don't want to be infected with the scale disease and become a monster!"
Humans aren't the only ones protesting.
In the commercial building, many scale people stood up. They were all the ones who escaped from the experimental base.
"Why should we save them!" someone roared, "Garbage that cannot adapt to the environment and evolve should be eliminated!"
"Have you forgotten all the hatred and hurt? The scale man was tortured like this!"
"It's all humans' fault! Bah! They deserve it!"
Thanks to Rui's fighting power, this group of angry scale people is currently only at the stage of verbal explosions.
As for the group of "old people" who had been living in exile with Rui for many years, they were all quiet at this time, with either sad or sad expressions.
Pan Hong looked on and wanted to rush forward, but Pan Qing held him back.
She shook her head and whispered: "Brother, your current position is not convenient..."
Pan Hong stopped in shock, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Scaled and scaleless, there is a huge chasm at this time.
"People who are not of my race must have different hearts" - this sentence came to the minds of many viewers, and they couldn't help but feel complicated emotions about it.
A harsh microphone whistle drowned out the angry shouts of the scale people.
Rui expressionlessly took the microphone back and said:
"I understand your anger."
He opened his clothes with one hand and showed his arm to others again. The number "1-0007" was so prominent on the big screen behind him that the clamoring people fell silent.
The number starting with 1 means that Rui is one of the first people to enter the laboratory.
"I was born the year the acid rain ended, and I grew up in an orphanage as long as I can remember."
Rui's words stunned Pan Hong for a moment. The year when the acid rain ended...that means he is only twenty years old this year?
"Not long after, I became the first child in the orphanage." Rui calmly recounted, "The dean sister took me everywhere to seek treatment, almost spending all her own savings. Later, Yan Bing Claiming that there was a cure, she sent me to the experimental base and encouraged me with tears that I would get better."
There was a group of low-volume discussions under the podium.
"A few years later, when I escaped and returned to the orphanage, I found that the other children had become more or less scale-human. The kind-hearted director was arrested and sentenced to 'failure to comply with the epidemic prevention regulations.' Felony, died in prison.”
Rui's voice didn't tremble, but it was flatter, like a robot.
"Everyone here is a scale person, and they are all of the same race." He continued, "But scale people were also humans before they evolved. Scale people also have human relatives and human friends."
“I know there are people like me who have been looked down upon with hatred just because they are human beings. They have suffered bullying, discrimination, and even inhuman treatment in the base. Their hearts are full of hatred.
"I know there are people like me who have been cared for, protected, loved, or even 'passed' by humans."
Rui's tone gradually became heavier.
There was silence under the podium. Amber, who was wearing a hoodie, clenched her fists and thought of Hemerocallis. They were childhood sweethearts, but he suddenly became a human being. However, even so, Hemerocallis and her family had been secretly giving him supplies, helping him, and supporting him.
Rui was right, those scale people who clamored to give up all human beings were completely blinded by hatred.
...Although Amber can also understand that if he was detained in the experimental base and had his scales removed repeatedly like a pig, he would also wish to die with those people.
Rui's voice continued.
"This is a critical moment for the survival of all races. So what if we can withstand the heat? What if one day the temperature is so high that our scales will melt?
"The top priority is to retain talents. Those who know how to do things and are capable, whether they are scales or humans, must be useful.
"Ten thousand steps back...how do you know that the humans you left behind today will not evolve into scale humans tomorrow?"
Rui's eyes slowly scanned the rioting groups.
"If you hate those people who ignored you and bullied you, then hate openly and don't attack the entire group. If you want revenge and want to vent your anger, then go to them instead of messing up the overall situation here. "
He paused and said: "Now, I am recruiting volunteers. I will go out to pick up people starting tomorrow. I will bring those humans who are willing to believe in us and seek refuge with us here. I will pool resources and equipment to prepare for the great migration and look for relative temperature relief. ’s new oasis.”
"If you want to come, both scaly and human beings can come; if you don't want to come, you don't have to come, but if you cause trouble, I won't let you go."
Rui calmly tied the knot.
After he finished speaking, he put down the microphone, walked off the stage, and in a normal voice ordered Apo and Aliu to distribute food to everyone. There was silence in the Commercial Building at this time, so Rui's words were still clear and spread far.
Pan Hong met his eyes and raised his hand. Because his sister told him not to speak, Pan Hong made random gestures to express that he "also wants to help", which looked a bit funny.
Rui smiled slightly and nodded.
…
The next day, people walked out of the building and onto the streets.
This is a novel and ironic experience. Now they are the ones walking openly under the sun, while those humans have to live at home.
Some people felt uncomfortable, but many people felt relieved.
Panqing provided a map of the city and the locations where people were still present, and Rui directed Shu Zhen, Amber and other scales to move forward in separate directions.
The search and rescue process was not smooth. Some humans refused to open the door, while others cursed and threw things mercilessly. If the leader of the team, Tingrui, hadn't stopped the angry scalers with his words, there might have been another one. There are going to be several murders.
A few days later, most of the city's population was concentrated in the city center. Panqing took two deep breaths before reporting the total number of people. There were four to five thousand people, and more than 10,000 humans. The total was less than 20,000.
Those who died in the base, those who died from the high temperature, and those who are now hiding at home and unable to survive, total up to two-thirds of the total population.
The camera moved and there was a commotion in the hall.
Lu Qiang, who appeared at the beginning of the film, knelt in front of his girlfriend with tears streaming down his face.
"Baby, baby!" he cried, "Give me some blood! Please give me some blood! I want to evolve too! I also want to be your kind!"
Most of the girl's body was covered by scales. She looked at Lu Qiang, her lips murmured, and she was speechless for a long time. In the end, she just cried and shook her head.
Recalling that back then, the person who stepped back three meters away and shouted at her, "Don't cry! Bodily fluids are contagious!" was also Lu Qiang.
The contrast between before and after is sharp, and the strong sense of irony made the audience feel sour.
Lu Qiang is kowtowing in the picture. There are many people like him if you look around. Those human beings who have scolded and bullied others and avoided "infectious diseases" are now fighting in turn. He flattered and prayed that they could "give" him some blood.
Arrogant high-pitched laughter came.
"Didn't you look down on me very much back then?!" A scaly man stomped the floor in front of a mother and daughter kneeling on the ground. "When I was starving to death, your door was so tightly closed. It was really My good neighbor!!”
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all our fault. But please..."
The mother knelt on the ground, "Don't worry about me, please save Xiaoyao. Her health is not good to begin with. If she can't become a scale person, one day she will..."
"Hahahahahaha! Wow, when I fainted from hunger in front of your house, I never thought that such a day would come!"
The scaly man stomped his feet even more fiercely, laughed heartily, and touched the belt with one hand, "Hahahahaha, there's no blood, but I'll give you something else, do you want it?"
boom! Boo!
His words stopped abruptly, and he fell forward, his head being stepped on by Rui.
Damn, great job!
The audience in the screening room, whose blood pressure rose, immediately breathed a sigh of relief both physically and mentally.
Gu Wensong shook his head. He remembered that this scale man was very brave when fighting Yan Bing and others, but the former warrior became like this after gaining class status... Yuan Xiao, you are worthy of it. , which reveals human nature incisively and vividly.
But then again, is this kind of plot really suitable for children to watch?
Just as Gu Wensong was thinking about it, he met Qiao Yuansu's eyes. The latter pursed his lips in the back, and Gu Wensong turned around to look.
There was a family sitting in the row behind them. One of the young carrots looked at Rui with bright eyes, and the other looked at the scaly man with disgust on his face.
"It's so annoying, he actually wants to spit!" said the little girl.
Gu Wensong... Gu Wensong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Also, children can’t understand it at all.
Compared with the plot of "Embarrassed", Yuan Xiao has been much more tactful. In this section, those who use "colorful" glasses to judge are, in a sense, the same virtues as the wretched scaly man just now.
This small detail passed quickly, and Rui and Pan Hong either controlled or comforted them in the hall, barely maintaining the situation.
What's even more ironic is that when Rui and others refuted the rumor that "human body fluids are not contagious", there were still humans who collapsed and cried:
"You just don't want us to live!"
Rui's face darkened, and A Liu almost rushed over, but Pan Hong, who was still wearing a powered exoskeleton, punched the ground in annoyance and made a big hole, shouting:
"Is there any mistake?
"You guys, let me understand - how anxious you are now to become scale people, how anxious the scale people were to be cured in the first place!"
The blunt and cruel words changed the expressions of Rui and Panqing. Panhong took off his powered exoskeleton and stood in front of the rioting crowd, shouting more eagerly than any of them:
"Some things can't be done just because they can't be done! Haven't the facts already told you?
"Dr. Carter is still working hard to study the evolutionary direction of scale people. All of you sitting here have not been abandoned at home. Isn't it obvious whether you have been abandoned or not?
"Calm down, okay! Disasters wait for no one. No matter what, you have to cheer up and find a way to solve the problem!"
The picture is cut to the side and looking down, Pan Hong's figure facing countless crowds is lonely, but not thin, and still tall.
"I know it was very painful when my sister became a scaly human! Now that my sister knows that I am still a human being and could be roasted by the strong sun outside at any time, she is also very painful!
"Everyone is obviously in pain!"
He took two hard breaths before softening his tone and said: "So, working hard to survive together is what we should do most now. And -"
Pan Hong suddenly stumbled forward two steps, lowered his head and held his knees with his hands, taking a deep breath.
Rui sighed vaguely and stepped forward.
"Don't yell, talk less, keep your strength up."
He stood side by side with Pan Hong and said to the crowd, "Whether it's a human or a scale human, if you want to follow the large army, just stay there, or leave. I'm not as kind as the guy next to me."
"Hey..." Pan Hong raised his head weakly.
"Apo." Rui turned around and called.
Apo, who was called by him, scratched the scales on the back of his head with disapproval. Finally, he walked over carrying an instrument that was half a person's height and put the thing down.
"The only energy source in New Century City is the scales of the Scale Man."
A faint flame ignited on Rui's body, melting the two sleeves of the jet black leather coat, revealing his arms covered with hard scales.
"The spring track has been evaporated, and there are not many resources left in the city. The more excited and talkative you are, the more energy and air-conditioning you consume.
"As for our determination to survive with everyone."
Rui stopped talking, and a shiny dagger appeared in his hand.
"Hey...!" Pan Hong didn't have time to stop him. With a flash of cold light, Rui Xiang sliced off his left arm cleanly.
A blood-streaked scale fell off.
Ray grabbed it.
He retracted his dagger, stretched out his hand and wiped the wound, and then used his palm stained with red blood to smear it towards Pan Hong's face, wiping it into pieces in the latter's stunned voice of "Uh huh?!" Red-faced tabby cat.
So everyone saw that even though his face was smeared with the blood of the strongest scaler, there was still no change in Pan Hong.
The rumors disproved themselves.
Then Rui's left hand holding the scales burst into flames. The flames burned into a gorgeous pink-purple color, and the scales gradually softened.
He released his hand and threw the scales into the gap above the instrument. Suddenly, the air conditioner started running at higher frequency, and the cool wind blew across everyone's faces.
Even the scale people who can withstand the high temperature can't help but squint their eyes in comfort. Being able to endure is one thing, but being comfortable is of course another.
"As for our determination to survive with everyone."
Rui repeated what he just said, holding the bleeding wound on his left arm with his right hand, "Now, you all have seen it."
