"Thinking of release?"

Zhu Long repeated the name, frowned, and tried hard to recall it in his mind, trying to think about whether he could remember anything related to this name in the corner of his memory.

But even if he went through his memory, he couldn't find any similar information.

"No matter what secrets are hidden in Jian San's problem, we can't hand him over!"

Zhu Long first stated his position, and most people nodded in agreement.

The war in the sun has been going on for more than a year, and during this time, almost all the workers have realized one thing.

They had almost nothing, and the only thing that enabled them to get to where they are now from the difficult situation at the beginning was their unity.

If they have lost their unity and are willing to sell out their friends for a short-term victory, then if the central government really intends to start rectifying the chaos in the East District and sends stronger people, they might as well just surrender now.

But in this meeting, a few voices were still heard.

"We don't want to abandon our comrades, but they didn't say what they were really going to do to Jian San, right?" A representative of the laborers spoke up, "What if they don't want to hurt Jian San? Or do they just want to help Jian San cure his madness? Winning at the lowest cost is definitely what everyone wants. We are not afraid of death, but we can't die worthlessly and meaninglessly!"

"Bullshit! I think you are just afraid of death! Not hurting Jian San? Didn't you see how aggressive they were? Who would believe them if they said they didn't want to do anything to Jian San? Only those who are afraid of death would believe it!"

Hearing this, the labor representative who raised the objection turned red on the spot. He stood up angrily and pointed at his empty right arm.

"I'm afraid of death? If I were afraid of death, I wouldn't have lost my arm! You can scold me for other things, but if you want to say that I'm afraid of death and trying to save my life! Then let the president load the car with explosives tonight! I can drive to blow up the white tower!"

Just as they were arguing, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

A young man with a simple and honest look but strange facial features, such as a crooked mouth and squinting eyes, rushed in. His voice was so loud that it immediately drowned out the voices of everyone else in the room.

"Just! Give me! To them!"

The punctuation of his voice was also strange, but people could still understand what he wanted to say! Seeing the young man named Jian San rushing into the meeting room, the voices of those who were originally arguing all became quiet. Almost every worker, whether they advocated that he must not be handed over or proposed to send him away to reduce casualties, all showed reluctance and pity on their faces.

Even among these laborers, Jian San's experience was the most tragic.

There are three brothers in his family, and he is the youngest. His mother died of postpartum hemorrhage when he was born. His father worked in a factory in the Barrier Field Area to support his three sons. However, when he was three years old, his father fainted beside a machine due to overwork, and his hand was caught in the track. He then became a disabled person and was driven out of the factory. He died of depression in bed.

Jian San was able to grow up thanks to the support of his two older brothers. When he was 13 years old and had just started working in a factory to earn money, his two older brothers were buried alive in a mine due to a coal mine accident.

On the night of the incident, he knelt outside the mine manager's house, not asking for compensation, but to demand that he must dig out his brother's body, because their father had said before he died that the whole family should be buried together in the church cemetery after death, so that if they could reach Twilight in the future, they could still be together and be a family.

He knelt there all night, and was drenched in the rain. Finally, he collapsed in front of the factory gate with no one paying attention to him. Fortunately, several of his brother's former co-workers could not bear to see him die, so they carried him to Yu Guang's clinic. Although he survived, his brain was completely damaged.

From then on, he went back to work in the factory and was able to support himself and not starve to death, but his thoughts and ideas had obviously become different from those of a normal person.

Jian San liked to wander around the edge of the underground river that separated the residual light and the radiant light, and collect various round stones by the river.

According to him, this is the story his mother would tell his brothers since they were young. The end of the river near Yaoguang is Twilight. Even the stones in the river want to go to Twilight to live the best life. People and stones who are full of such hope and are honest, trustworthy, hardworking and kind will shine.

Jian San, who became mentally ill after the heavy rain that night, has always believed that there are glowing stones in the underground river. Those stones that carry hope are good stones that can enter the twilight, just like his parents and brothers.

Later, Jian San also joined the labor uprising organized by Li Ming. Then Zhu Long and Jiang Qi came to Taiyang to carry out literacy training for these workers who originally could not read a single word, taught them the most basic knowledge of natural sciences, and helped them understand the relationship between people.

During this process, Jian San showed extraordinary talent. He seemed to be particularly sensitive to numbers. No matter what form of calculation, he could get the answer in the simplest and fastest way.

After the academy was destroyed and the restrictions on mastering the rules were lifted, Jian San suddenly awakened a special ability!

He had always said that there must be some glowing stones in the underground river. Those stones represented hope and were destined to enter the twilight that was big enough to be called heaven. However, no one believed him and said that it was just his imagination after he went crazy.

Even Zhu Long and Jiang Qi, who taught him knowledge, never took such words seriously. But after that day, Jian San suddenly really had the ability to make some stones glow!

This ability has no effect at all. The light emitted by those stones is the weakest light. Even if used for lighting at night, it is not enough to illuminate a space of several meters. But the stones just happen to be bright!

This is totally inconsistent with chemistry, physics, geology, biology, and atmosphere! The stones flowing in the underground river are just ordinary pebbles, the main component of which is only silicon dioxide. They do not have any natural luminescence ability at all, but Jian San can make some stones produce light.

This made Zhu Long and Jiang Qi quite shocked, but it was just shock. Jian San's ability was of no use at all. Making the non-glowing stones glow would not bring anything to the workers. They just regarded Jian San's awakened special ability as an ordinary accident.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

When the three people from the Discipline and Discipline Institute came to Sun and said that they were looking for Jian San, Zhu Long and the others realized that such an accident did not seem to be a trivial matter! Some bigwigs in the central government took this matter very seriously, even more than the rebellion that was happening in the East District! They could not get to the bottom of the reasons, but now they had to face a choice, how to protect this ill-fated boy! "Send me! Out!" Jian San looked at everyone sitting here with his slanted eyes, pleadingly, "I! Can make them! All go! This is good for! Everyone! Please! You! I want to find! My parents and two brothers! They! Are waiting for me in Twilight! They've been waiting for a long time! Let me go!"

He said these words with great effort but received no response. Everyone sitting here, whether they had agreed to send him over or not, all looked so angry and aggrieved that they could not bear it.

"Bang!!!!"

A pair of rough hands clenched into fists and slammed on the table! Everyone looked at Li Ming, the man sitting in the main seat. He was once regarded as a weak and bullied old dog by the masters of the Sunlight Council in the corner of his eyes. Now he led all of them, shouting the slogan of revenge and taking back everything. Now he was only one step away from seizing the entire sun.

"Don't dream about Twilight, Jian San! From the beginning to the end, I never had any thought of handing you over! Never! Before the uprising, we had to watch our families die, our friends get buried, and the people around us pursue the so-called afterlife Twilight one by one! After the uprising, do we still have to face all this!!"

"If nothing has changed! Then what about that gentleman who jumped down from the White Tower! Those comrades who died in order to make the sun a sun that belongs to the workers! Didn't they die in vain! Isn't everything we have done in the past two years just empty talk!"

His words made the blood of everyone sitting here boil, and everyone looked at him with bright eyes.

Li Ming pointed at the framed note behind him. The blood on it had long since dried up and turned black, but it was still clearly visible for everyone to see: "If you kill someone, you must pay with your life. If you owe a debt, you must pay it back"!

"I have been leading you to practice the words that gentleman left me. We have already completed our revenge on this city. Those factory owners and politicians who have tortured us, oppressed us, and devoured us are all going to be killed by us! After that, all we have to do is to defend all our current achievements by ourselves!"

"Don't even mention that they are threatening to massacre us and ask us to hand you over. Even if the central government really sends people to suppress the rebellion, we will not compromise at all! Now the workers' lives are called life, now our lives are called life. If someone wants to change everything back to the way it was, then I would rather die!"

At this moment, everyone else present stood up and shouted in unison.

“I’d rather die!!!”
