Chapter 029 Chapter 29 Bringing everyone together to be liberated
In the office, Wei Xunyi took the initiative and sat at the desk, looking at Xie Hui with a cold expression.
Xie Hui stood trembling in front of Wei Xunyi. Seeing his cold face, he was so scared that his face turned even paler, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead.
"Tell me, what happened?" Wei Xunyi's tone was cold, and he was obviously very angry about what he had just learned.
Xie Hui swallowed and suddenly felt something was wrong.
This was not the attitude Wei Xunyi had when he came over just now.
For a moment, Xie Hui had a lot of thoughts in his mind. Could it be that Wei Xunyi hadn't actually discovered this before?
He couldn't help but look at Wei Xunyi's expression, wondering whether he knew it before.
Wei Xunyi twitched the corner of his mouth, "Why? You don't want to talk about it now?"
Xie Hui shuddered and felt a little regretful. He regretted that he was too impatient just now. He should have been patient a little longer. Even if Wei Xunyi already knew about it, it would not be too late to explain it when he brought it up.
But it's too late to regret now.
Xie Hui could only honestly explain what had happened during this period, not daring to hide anything.
The death rate in the base has skyrocketed. As the director of the psychology department, Xie Hui is under a lot of pressure, especially since the senior leaders would ask about the situation in the psychology department at every meeting.
After hearing this, Wei Xunyi's expression grew increasingly grim and gloomy. He stood up and pointed at Xie Hui, "Director Xie, you, what can I say about you? You made the decision on such a serious matter without reporting it to the senior leadership! Do you think the senior leadership would disregard the safety of your psychologists and force them to provide counseling and treatment for Level 4 patients?"
Xie Hui was stunned for a moment, his lips moving, unable to speak for a while. After a while, he lowered his head in shame, "I, I was also bewildered for a while..."
Wei Xunyi's face was gloomy. He paced back and forth twice before asking, "How are the level 4 patients doing now?"
When Xie Hui heard this, his heart tightened and he lowered his head even more.
Wei Xunyi was so angry that he almost laughed when he saw this. He stared at Xie Hui and asked through gritted teeth, "You didn't take any action against those level 4 patients and just let them die?"
Xie Hui had no way to explain it, because he had indeed not taken care of the condition of that group of level 4 patients during this period.
In fact, by the time they reach level four, their psychological problems have become so serious that they are basically irreversible. Instead of wasting time on psychologists, it is better to let them get rid of it sooner.
Although he thought so in his heart, Xie Hui also knew that he must never say this out loud. Once Wei Xunyi knew that he had such thoughts, he would definitely not have a good ending.
Wei Xunyi naturally didn't know what Xie Hui was thinking, but just based on what Xie Hui had done, he was already very disappointed.
In fact, Wei Xunyi also knew that if it were the Xie Hui of the past, he would not dare to conceal this matter and handle it himself even if he had a hundred courage. It was nothing more than seeing that the big leader was old and most of the power in his hands had been handed over to the deputy leader, so Xie Hui also began to move closer to the deputy leader.
He probably forgot that as long as the leader has not stepped down, he will still be the leader of the entire base.
Wei Xunyi didn't say anything else, but just asked Xie Hui to bring all the information of the level 4 patients.
Xie Hui hurriedly asked someone to send the information of the level 4 patients.
Level 4 patients are also divided into two categories: mild and severe. There are more than 8,000 patients with mild conditions and more than 1,000 patients with severe conditions.
Among these pathologies, those who have died have been eliminated, which means that there are now nearly 10,000 people in the base whose psychological problems have reached level four.
Furthermore, due to the psychology department’s attitude of concealing the facts and not taking any action, the exact situation of these people is still unknown.
Now these nearly 10,000 people are like time bombs to the base, and it is hard to say when they will explode.
After Wei Xunyi got the information, he hurriedly left the hospital.
He took out his communicator and called An Qing.
An Qing was thinking about opening more branches, but actually she didn't have time to talk about it with her boss at the moment.
There were too many people queuing outside the store.
The new shelves were unlocked yesterday, so of course the menu had to be added.
However, An Qing did not add all the items on the new shelves to the menu at once, but only selected braised eggs and salt-baked eggs.
New dishes always have to be added slowly.
Otherwise, what if there are too many varieties at once and people get tired of eating them? Even if they don’t get tired of eating them, what if eating the same food for a long time reduces their sense of happiness?
It's not that An Qing is worrying too much, the main reason is that she herself is a concrete evidence.
In her previous life, when takeout was just becoming popular, she loved ordering takeout. She would order takeout every night without telling her parents, and she thought everything was delicious.
In fact, she felt tired of eating takeout after less than a month. When she opened the takeout app, she felt that everything was mediocre and she had no appetite.
When the phone rang, An Qing was so busy that she didn't answer it.
The main thing is that after she got the communication, the only person who called him was Wei Xunyi, so it was obvious that it was most likely him who called.
Wei Xunyi probably didn't want to call her for anything too urgent. She could just call him back when he was a little free. If it was really an urgent matter, he would definitely call her a second time.
At this time, the communication ringtone automatically hung up.
The next second, the bell rang again.
An Qing was a little surprised and quickly handed the work in her hands to Ye Yu. Then she looked at the incoming call reminder and it was Wei Xunyi.
Why are you so anxious that you even made two calls? What's the matter?
Although she didn't know what exactly happened, An Qing still walked out of the hotel quickly with the communicator and found a quiet place to answer the call.
"Hello? Secretary Wei?" An Qing's tone was filled with confusion and inquiry.
Wei Xunyi's slightly rapid breathing came from the other side, "An Yiqing, did you unlock the new shelf yesterday?"
An Qing was even more confused, but there was nothing she couldn't tell him.
"Well, it's unlocked. Is there something wrong?" She guessed that Wei Xunyi was in urgent need of something, so he asked her this question. Her current happiness value was enough for her to continue unlocking many shelves. If there was nothing Wei Xunyi needed on the current shelf, she could actually try to see if she could unlock it.
Wei Xunyi: "Yes, something happened to me and I need some food that can be eaten directly. I wonder if there is any on the new shelves?"
An Qing: "..."
Yes, I did. I just happened to unlock a lot of fast food recipes yesterday. It was really a coincidence. Of course, it doesn’t matter if I don’t unlock these fast foods. After all, instant noodles can be eaten alone.
"Yes, Secretary Wei, how much does it cost?" An Qing asked.
Wei Xunyi: "I'll have someone drive over right now to pick them up. Please give me 10,000 copies first."
An Qing: "!!!"
Although she was shocked, she also heard the urgency in Wei Xunyi's tone, so she did not waste time and bought 10,000 braised eggs first. However, she did not take them out immediately. She put them in the supermarket and waited for Wei Xunyi's people to come and pick them up.
Wei Xunyi walked hurriedly. After hanging up the phone, he immediately called the leader and explained the situation and his own arrangements in a few words.
When the senior leader heard this, his expression suddenly became serious. He quickly instructed, "Go to the Security Department immediately. Close all the passages in each area and impose martial law on the entire base. I will approve your transfer order immediately."
Wei Xunyi people have already arrived at the Security Department, "Yes."
After hanging up the phone, he walked in.
With the order from the top leader, everyone acted quickly. The entire security department was mobilized, and within just half an hour, all the passages in various areas of the base were completely closed.
At this time, if someone had a God's perspective, they would be able to see that the buildings in the base were completely separated from each other, and the entire base was completely separated like a nine-square grid.
Everyone who came out of the restaurant was stunned, unless they lived nearby.
"What's going on? Why is it sealed again? Wasn't it fine this morning?"
"Yeah, I didn't receive any notification either. What's going on?"
"Oh no! I have to go to work this afternoon. What should I do?"
The crowd was a little anxious and rushed to the blockaded area to inquire about the situation.
However, this transfer order came in a hurry and too quickly. The higher-ups only sent orders to those below them. Most people in the Security Department didn't even know what had happened, so they naturally couldn't explain it to others.
There are a large number of security personnel guarding every door to prevent riots.
However, perhaps it was because these people had eaten the food in the restaurant, and their happiness levels had more or less increased, which led to a relaxation of their original psychological state. Therefore, although being suddenly blocked here made these people a little bored and anxious, they were not like usual, where the slightest disturbance would touch their fragile nerves.
At this time, inside a residential building.
In room 512, a man lay motionless on the bed with a numb expression. If it weren't for the slight movement of his chest, he would have looked no different from a dead person.
This is a man in his twenties or thirties. He is not too old and can be considered young, but his eyes staring straight at the ceiling are more tired and vicissitudes of life than those of an old man.
His heart was filled with violent emotions, and even though he tried his best to endure it, it was of no use.
He knew he should calm down, think about happy and beautiful things, and not allow himself to continue to be immersed in such extreme emotions.
Happiness and beauty are absolute luxuries for people who are still alive today, and things that can make them feel happy and beautiful are even rarer.
Oh, no, we had a few happy days a few days ago.
A woman appeared in Mu Chen's mind and smiled at him. Then she turned and walked towards the mission passage. She waved to him with her back.
The next moment, Mu Chen suddenly closed his eyes, his breathing became heavier and his whole body trembled uncontrollably. He clenched his fists, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged.
This was one of his few joys, but now even this little bit of happiness is gone.
Mu Chen's whole body was extremely tense. He clenched his teeth and the blood vessels under his skin began to beat faster.
A line of blood-red tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes.
He was completely enveloped by despair and pain. What hope was there in such a life? The road ahead was dark, with no future. Life was only endless suffering.
The base's Human Spark program shouldn't even exist.
Mu Chen turned over and his eyes were bloodshot when he opened them. He roared and punched the bed hard. With a click, the bed shattered under gravity, and even the metal material of the bed was deformed because of it.
The Human Spark Project is wrong. Every day these people live is torture. What did they do wrong to deserve such pain?
Mu Chen staggered towards the door of the room. He had to help them. He should bring everyone relief.
