The criminal's lips trembled, and he wanted to say something to defend himself, but found that his throat seemed to be blocked and he couldn't utter a word. His legs were weak and he could hardly stand. His hands trembled unconsciously, and the weapon he had been holding tightly in his hand fell to the ground with a "clang". Xiao Yi approached step by step, and each step was accompanied by heavy pressure. The criminal felt that the air around him became thinner, making it difficult for him to breathe. He wanted to retreat, wanted to escape from this nightmare-like scene, but his feet seemed to be nailed to the ground and he couldn't move at all. Under Xiao Yi's majesty, the criminal completely collapsed, his psychological defenses completely collapsed, leaving only endless fear and despair. He knew that he was facing an insurmountable wall of justice, and no matter how he struggled, he could not escape the punishment he deserved.
After apprehending the criminal, Xiao Yi rendered his verdict strictly in accordance with the base's laws, impartial and selfless. The atmosphere in the base's courtroom was solemn and dignified. Xiao Yi sat at the bench, his face stern, his eyes firm and focused. Before him lay a thick stack of legal documents, each page bearing the foundation's order and fairness. He meticulously flipped through the clauses related to the criminal's crimes, absorbing every detail. His fingers lightly brushed across the paper, as if he were touching the grain of justice. His mind raced, matching the criminal's actions with the legal provisions, ensuring the accuracy and fairness of his verdict. As he listened to the witnesses' testimony and the criminal's defense, Xiao Yi remained rapt, not missing a single suspicious point. His expression remained unmoved by the witnesses' emotional statements, nor did he show any sympathy for the criminals' pleading. With a rational and objective attitude, he analyzed the truth and credibility of each statement. When it came time to render the final verdict, Xiao Yi stood up, his voice loud and clear. There was not a trace of hesitation or ambiguity in his words; every word was filled with power and resolve. He detailed the nature and harm of the criminal's crimes, as well as the corresponding legal provisions, ensuring everyone present clearly understood the basis and rationale for the ruling. Xiao Yi's gaze swept over the crowd, revealing his unwavering commitment to justice and his reverence for the law. His tone was firm and unwavering as he announced the verdict, reassuring the criminal that his punishment was fair and a fitting response to his crimes. Throughout the entire adjudication process, Xiao Yi remained unperturbed by any external factors. Neither pressure from the criminal's family nor insinuations from certain forces within the base could shake his resolve to enforce the law impartially. His single conviction was to uphold the dignity of the base's laws and ensure everyone could live under fair conditions. After the verdict, Xiao Yi slowly sat down and breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that this fair verdict was not only a punishment for the criminal, but also a maintenance of order and justice on the base. He would continue to uphold this impartiality and contribute to the peace and stability of the base.
His actions earned the respect and trust of the residents of the base. Everywhere in the base, people spoke of Xiao Yi's impartial judgments. Whether in the busy workshops, in the canteen where smoke curled from cooking fires, or in casual conversations, Xiao Yi's name became a universal refrain. Residents looked upon Xiao Yi with eyes filled with respect. Once, they might have doubted the fulfillment of justice, feeling lost and uncertain about the future of the base. But Xiao Yi's presence was like a ray of light in the darkness, illuminating hope in their hearts. Children revered Xiao Yi as a hero. They emulated his righteous demeanor during playtime, aspiring to become just and righteous like him when they grew up. Elderly residents often praised Xiao Yi's actions after dinner, lamenting that the base finally had a trustworthy guardian. When Xiao Yi walked the streets, people would greet him with genuine smiles. Xiao Yi's example warmed the once cold neighborhood. Everyone began to care for and help each other, contributing to the development of the base. When faced with difficulties, the residents' first thought was Xiao Yi. They believed that as long as Xiao Yi was there, problems would be resolved fairly. This trust wasn't built overnight; it was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people through Xiao Yi's repeated and fair actions. Xiao Yi's opinions were highly valued in various base meetings. Everyone respected his judgment and believed that his decisions would lead to better development for the base. Xiao Yi never disappointed everyone, always offering reasonable and effective suggestions based on the overall interests of the base. Even in family arguments and disputes, Xiao Yi would be mentioned, educating and admonishing his family with his fairness and selflessness. His image became a benchmark of morality and justice within the base, guiding everyone towards a better future. The respect and trust earned by Xiao Yi's actions was not only a personal honor, but also a powerful driving force for the unity and development of the entire base. In this challenging apocalypse, this respect and trust is like a solid foundation, supporting the people of the base to jointly withstand the storms of the outside world and move forward firmly towards the future.
Tough Decisions However, not every mission is so straightforward. Sometimes, Xiao Yi faces a sharp conflict between morality and survival. For example, he was once tasked with hunting down a group of individuals who risked their lives stealing supplies from the base in search of medicine for a critically ill child. Facing the despair and helplessness in the eyes of these parents, Xiao Yi's inner balance began to tremble violently. On the one hand, the base's rules must not be violated, and theft must be punished to maintain overall order and fairness. But on the other hand, the weak breathing of the seriously ill child and the tearful pleas of their parents weighed heavily on his heart. Or, faced with two opposing factions vying for limited resources, Xiao Yi must decide which side's needs were more pressing and which side's position was more conducive to the long-term development of the base. Every decision could affect the lives of countless people. He fully understood the weight of his responsibility, yet he often found himself caught in a dilemma. On another occasion, he uncovered a hidden secret: the base's leadership was prepared to sacrifice the interests of some residents in order to secure more external aid. Xiao Yi was torn between being loyal to the base and protecting the residents. He didn't know whether he should stick to his duties and obey the orders of the higher-ups, or stand up and speak for those innocent residents. These difficult choices kept Xiao Yi awake at night. He often sat alone in the dark, thinking over and over again about the possible consequences of each decision. His brow was furrowed, his eyes were full of confusion and pain, and his once firm beliefs were greatly challenged by the complexity of reality. Every thought was an inner war, and every choice was a torture of the soul. Xiao Yi understood that no matter what decision he made, it would be impossible to satisfy everyone, but he had to find that faint ray of justice in this chaotic situation, even if it meant bearing enormous pressure and accusations.
