Chapter 407 Yin and Yang
In the early hours of the morning, outside the door of the unsoundproof room, a noisy and chaotic sound of footsteps approached quickly.
Immediately afterwards, there was a series of rapid knocks on the door.
He Rui sighed, feeling that tonight was particularly lively with people coming in the middle of the night.
He stood up in disgust.
I really don't like the behavior of knocking on the door as if announcing a death.
I suspected that it might be the same soldier again.
Thinking of what his brother had said before about cooperation, he turned to look at him and asked with his eyes.
"I..." go open the door?
I had just put on my slippers and uttered a syllable when the other person covered my mouth.
His brother made a silencing gesture to him, indicating that he should stay where he was.
He Rui didn't understand but sat back on the bed obediently, kept his mouth shut and watched his brother get up while he opened the door of the room remotely.
They had talked for a while about cooperating with the shelter, and his brother didn't say much. He just said that the other party would provide the location and his brother would go to deal with the mutant creatures, and told him not to worry about anything else.
After practicing my healing abilities for a while, I was just about to go to bed. The lights had only been off for half a minute when I heard footsteps outside the corridor.
The layout of this small room allowed him to see the door from the end of the bed.
The lights in the room were not on, and He Rui saw a lot of people standing in the corridor outside the door.
There are all kinds of uniforms, including military uniforms, training uniforms, and so on.
It's quite imposing.
A group of people blocked the doorway.
He Rui didn't know whether these people were here to show off or to intimidate, or if they had just returned from a fight at the door?
Then he saw a ruffian man in military uniform walking out from the crowd. He was not the one he had seen before, and this one had a higher rank.
He is a quite young major general, not even an uncle or a grandfather.
He Rui tilted his head and looked over there, and found that except for the major general, everyone around was on high alert, with an aggressive look, and seemed to be protecting that person. At the same time, they looked at his brother Ji as if his brother was a dangerous person.
Some people also peeked into the room at will.
But no one kept their eyes on him, as if he was a flowerpot blending into the dark background and no one paid any attention to him.
He Rui saw his brother slowly walking to the door.
After talking with the major general for a few words, the other party went straight to the point and handed something to his brother.
It's called a communicator.
Then someone came forward and explained to his brother how to use it.
“This one has positioning, so you don’t have to worry about not being able to find your location. This button is a public channel, so when you speak, everyone can hear you.
443 is the shelter that needs support this time. You don’t need to remember the contact numbers of these shelters. They will contact you actively. You can press this to answer the call. Press the button in the lower right corner to open the microphone and communicate with the other party.
Just follow the instructions..."
Ji Changqing lowered his eyes and played with the communicator in his hand. "Who told you that I planned to be on call 24 hours a day?"
His voice was calm, but it contained a hint of threat.
The slight lift of his dark eyes, coupled with the unrestrained mental pressure, sent chills down the spines of those opposite him.
The major general's forehead soon broke out in sweat, but he remained calm and withstood the pressure as he took the communicator from the stern-looking man, turned on channel 443, and received the distress signal from the administrator over there.
A disjointed, slightly distorted voice came from the communicator.
"...the direction of the beast tide....4.7 kilometers from the shelter....estimated...half an hour...Ji 443...requesting support..."
The voice coming from the communicator, with the noise of electricity, was inexplicably calm and steady.
It seemed as if he didn't care at all about the beast tide that was about to hit the shelter, and even seemed to be staying out of it.
However, upon closer listening, besides the man's calm tone, there seemed to be a sense of helplessness.
It was as if he knew clearly that his call for help would never be responded to.
The refuge that is calmly waiting for its arrival is about to face an attack from mutant animals.
After the man finished speaking, the voice disappeared briefly.
The major general put the communicator in his hand back into Ji Changqing's hands.
He was about to say something when a young man with a hint of anger on his face interrupted him, squeezing out words through gritted teeth.
"When it comes to matters of life and death, why would we send someone to do something like that? If we can get there, why would we need to..."
"Mr. Liu!"
A voice from the side shouted angrily, interrupting the young man, "You don't have the right to express your opinion here! Shut up!"
He Rui stood up from the bed again.
I was feeling quite complicated, but when I heard the voice on the communicator, I suddenly empathized with the person on the other end and felt a little uncomfortable.
But now, something happened that made him even more angry.
There was someone at the door who inexplicably stood on the moral high ground and suppressed his brother!
He Rui clenched his fists and took a step forward to go to the door to help his brother Ji.
Morality is a beautiful quality, but it is not a weapon that can be used to attack, slander or even coerce others.
When did the phrase "human life is of paramount importance" begin to be used by the government to pressure ordinary people? Wasn't his brother also a civilian?
It was clearly agreed that his brother would definitely take in the mutant animals and would also benefit the nearby shelter, but the guy outside spoke with such an attitude that He Rui felt as sick as if he had eaten fly shit.
I feel that the guy who just spoke, called Liu Jun, is really strict with others and lenient with himself.
Why should his brother Ji suffer this?
He Rui was furious.
Rush out, ready to give that guy a punch, or turn into a troll, go over and open the microphone to shoot that guy in the mouth.
But just as he took a step, he ran into a transparent air barrier head-on, and the elastic touch stopped him.
He Rui frowned and found that his brother Ji seemed to not want him to go over.
He was extremely anxious.
Fortunately, Brother Ji was no longer silent and also mocked the man.
"The shelter nearby was destroyed before, so it seems you must have sent people there.
You should have rescued people when human lives were at stake."
Ji Changqing raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the man with a teasing look.
His words were very lethal, hitting the vital points and piercing the hearts of the people around him.
No one said anything else.
The young man who spoke earlier turned pale and blue in the face after what he said.
The leading military officer also remained silent.
...
He Rui's sight was almost completely blocked by his brother Ji who was standing at the door. He could no longer see Zhi Zhang who was talking outside the door, so he grabbed the air barrier with both hands and tried to tiptoe to look out.
On a whim, he wanted to try using his mental vision to see what was going on in the corridor, but then he remembered that his brother had stopped him from moving many times.
He Rui suppressed his curiosity.
Hearing that his brother's words were not yet finished, he asked, "Could it be that you gave up on the rescue without even trying?" Ji Changqing curled his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes. He swept his gaze coldly over the silent crowd and said sarcastically, "So, before I showed up, you didn't do anything?
In the destroyed shelter, weren't the remains of our compatriots collected?"
He sneered and looked at everyone, "So you are such a team, really admirable."
