Chapter 24 Aixina (3)
Inside the city gate, the crowd was isolated in a small area by the law enforcement team. The sunlight shone mercilessly but equally on everyone.
Two elegantly dressed ladies held parasols and fanned themselves with paper fans.
An old man sat under a stool brought by the law enforcement team to avoid the shade, with a glass of ice water in his hand.
In contrast to the nobles, the civilians, who were much more numerous, crowded together at the city gate, standing against the wall to get a little shade.
Some women had to turn their backs to breastfeed their children.
The world of equality is full of inequality, but the civilians can only remain numb to it.
They were all tortured by the scorching sun, with sweat dripping down their foreheads and gathering into a continuous stream of sweat. Their faces revealed extremely complicated emotions.
Fear, worry, and even a sense of being used to it.
"What's this..." The short-haired woman helped the woman block some of the surrounding sights, and couldn't help complaining, "They said they would check us, but no one has come yet..."
"Yeah." The woman she was protecting wanted to say something, but before she could say a word, the law enforcement officer standing next to her glared at her fiercely.
Without even saying anything, the woman immediately restrained her expression, hugged the child in her arms who was also covered in sweat, and shrank towards the city gate again. The civilians who were a little noisy at first also fell silent.
About twenty minutes later, a greeting suddenly sounded in the distance, and the nobles looked in the direction of the sound.
A tall, sharp-eyed, brown-haired woman wearing glasses walked in front of them.
She was not like other ladies who wore a top hat or held an umbrella. Her facial features were exposed to the sun. She walked with big steps, and her demeanor was just like a soldier.
"This time I came here, and I was able to meet Ms. Aisina directly. I heard that you treat everyone equally and are a people-friendly faction in the association. I think..."
"Hello, I'm from the Esso family..." "
Ms. Aisina, I have always been very..."
Dozens of figures approached her, and their ears were full of flattery, but Aisina ignored anyone and just subconsciously adjusted her glasses.
At this moment, she had changed into a neat and close-fitting military uniform, which made her look sharp and outstanding. Without the complicated external decoration, her sharp aura like a falcon was no longer concealed.
Aisina used the pollution identifier taken out from the mutual aid association to detect everyone one by one. As expected, the moment the identifier approached the black-robed people, it lit up red.
The dry man in the lead coughed twice, and without any resistance, he allowed Aisina to imprison them.
Only Louisa, who was wearing ordinary clothes, was left in the crowd.
"Open the city gate." Aisina ordered the law enforcement team next to her.
"Okay, okay." Several men nodded immediately and quickly opened the city gate that had not been opened just now despite the shouting of the injured outside the city wall.
After watching Aixina lead a group of black-robed people out of the city gate, the law enforcement team, who had originally had a calm expression, looked at each other.
One of them was wearing newer clothes, obviously a new member of the potato-faced team, and walked towards the nobles with a smile on his face.
The communication time was not long, just two minutes. When he walked over, his pockets, which were originally empty, became heavy when he came back, and kept dragging his trouser legs down.
The expression on his face that pretended to be serious could not help but reveal joy.
The nobles who had communicated with him passed the checkpoints one by one and walked towards the inner city, leaving the civilians not far away to watch them eagerly.
"Captain, we got everything. I'll give it to you..." He walked a few steps quickly and approached the man sitting under the awning, smoking a cigarette. The captain and several sailors were sitting next to the man, and Ding Xiang was also there.
At this time, several people were playing cards.
"Eh..." The man stopped him immediately and looked at the civilians who were obviously unable to bear it and started to make a fuss, but did not dare to make too much noise. "What are you going to do with those people?"
"Them?" Potato Face, who was still immersed in joy, was stunned for a moment. After a moment, he whispered in the ear of the smoking man: "How about we be safe...close it for a few days first?"
"That's not the way to deal with it." The captain took a puff of the cigarette butt and threw the cigarette butt not far away.
"They were standing so close to the contaminated child just now, there is also a risk of contamination. If we keep them here, what will we do if it affects us?"
"Except for some powerful ones," he said, scanning the crowd left and right, and finally locking his eyes on a few women wearing jewelry, "let them all go outside first, so as to avoid gossip in the inner city."
Potato Face nodded frantically as if he heard some oracle, and while the city gate that had just been opened had not yet been completely closed, he directly called on several team members to use steel forks to start pushing the crowd, including the youngest Louisa.
"What do you mean? We are normal! We are not contaminated!"
"I am not going out, I want to go into the inner city, my family is here."
"You..." An elderly man was dragged to the ground by the execution team because he refused to move forward, and he was like a rotten stick, leaving crisscross marks on the ground.
He was dragged and turned over, his hands helplessly scratching the ground, as if looking for something to support him but found nothing.
In just thirty seconds, he was covered in dust after being treated like this, like an old grass that was pulled out by the roots, even his struggle was old and rotten.
"Who knows if you have any contamination? Ms. Aixina didn't say you can leave!"
"This is bullying! I have a certification card. Believe it or not, I will go back to Xiangshan City and complain to the Security Fund!" A strong man shouted.
"Ouch," Potato Face heard this and his impatient expression collapsed. "Then go ahead. Now I will send you outside the city gate and back to your Xiangshan City. Hahahaha."
After pushing and kicking everyone into the blockade, Potato Face put the gold and silver jewelry and certification point cards on his body next to the captain's card table one by one and watched him and the captain's card game.

In the blockade, Aixina unlocked the main priest after only a few steps forward and completed the ceremony in an almost dark environment.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do this to you, but I was forced to do so due to the circumstances." She lowered her head and reviewed herself word by word, without much emotion in her tone.
"Get up." The withered man did not make it difficult for the woman in front of him and easily covered up the offense
just now. "As long as Louisa can stay in the city and ensure her safety, my lord's thoughts are hard to guess, but she is a useful vessel and there will always be a chance to make a contribution." "The situation in the city is not necessarily better than here," Aisina smiled bitterly. "In fact, since the association has dominated Qingshui City more than ten years ago, the lives of civilians have become more and more difficult... They always promote that everyone is a citizen and is equal, but in fact they just changed Qingshui City to Qingshui City."
"I really can't do it alone... Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. I still have a few alchemy items from the powerful in the association to hand over to their children, so I'll leave first."
"Go." The withered man pulled his hood down a little more and watched the woman walking in the dim firelight.
The black-robed men behind him whispered, "Aesina seems to have become more independent in recent years, but her care for ants has not changed."
"Yeah, when she was sent to the believers in Qingshui City, she kept crying and didn't want to leave."
"Come to think of it, why didn't any believers come to the city gate to visit her this time, only she?"
The withered man did not interrupt their conversation, but led a group of people to walk slowly and silently towards the place where the data compass pointed.
At this point, his original plan to offer his body to the Lord had failed. Although he didn't understand why the Lord, who was originally very enthusiastic about this matter, refused several times, he knew that the Lord must like this chaotic scene.
And he will witness the great resurrection of the Lord God in this chaos.
Looking up at the wildly rampaging alien beasts not far away, he felt that the originally controlled pollution in his body was gradually spreading, and his pace quickened.
---
There are many young nobles and high-ranking children of the association living in the inner city. They have nothing to do and do not produce, so they noticed the light screen surrounding the sky at the first time.
One of the nobles directly picked up his mobile phone and played a video to show this strange scene to his friends who were still far away.
As more and more people knew about it, the speed of transmission became faster. The light screen that was originally only shooting the scene of the fire suddenly switched and began to show the scene of a street in the outer layer.
The camera angle is very low, but judging by the shoes and trousers on their feet, they are definitely some dignitaries.
They are standing at the door of a small hotel, shouting in a weird way.
Even without watching the picture, just hearing the sharp voice and the harsh words, you can feel their arrogance.
"Look at how poor you are... If it weren't for the blockade, I wouldn't have taken a step into this place."
"Oh my god, there are civilians here... I won't live next door to him, will I?"
The screen moved up, reflecting a slightly plump middle-aged woman with a smirk on her face: "No, you guys must be staying in a good room."
"Besides, he is very quiet and will definitely not affect you." Having said this, the proprietress took a few steps back to cover half of the slightly thin Zhou Ye, and the hand beside her gently patted Zhou Ye's shoulder a few times in a soothing manner.
Zhou Ye didn't say anything, but just turned his face slightly to the side, with his hands tightly placed on his knees, as if he was stimulated by the words of the person in front of him and felt ashamed of his identity.
Suddenly, several half-grown children became even more excited. They walked directly to Zhou Ye, raised their lips with their little fingers and made all kinds of strange expressions.
"Are you going to leave or not? I don't want to live with someone like you."
"Oh, it seems that his legs can't move... Is he a disabled person?" After a closer look, a younger girl with very flamboyant clothes looked at him, and her expression became surprised. The mocking expression on her face was slightly restrained.
"Disabled person! Wow, then you can only crawl on the ground?" The person next to her, who was obviously her sister or friend, did not have this self-awareness, and still maintained the tone just now, laughing loudly.
So the little girl also pretended to be disdainful, and the corners of her mouth were very reluctantly pulled down.
"I don't want to stay in the same hotel with this kind of person. If the alien comes, he might grab my legs and stop me from escaping." Behind the two girls was a little blond boy who was dressed relatively simply and elegantly. But as soon as he opened his mouth, everyone looked at him.
On his chest hung a certification card for a member of the Citizens' Mutual Aid Association, but it was not an ordinary one. It was red in color. His family had applied for it to ensure safety in the inner and outer cities.
However, this card only became the biggest shield for the children of the rich and powerful in such associations to commit crimes. In Qingshui City, even some declining nobles had to go around them, not to mention ordinary civilians - although many of their grandfathers and grandfathers were civilians.
"Me too." Several children shouted at once.
"Boss, please ask him to check out. He can live anywhere. A commoner like him can sleep in a garbage dump for two days." The girl who had just laughed at Zhou Ye's inconvenience spoke again, ignoring the little gesture of her sister pulling her hand.
On the public screen, the boss's wife could no longer hold back her awkward smile, and even showed a hint of anger: "It's okay for him to live here, and he has a companion, who will be back soon. You kids shouldn't be so mean..."
Before he finished his scolding, the blond boy threw a piece of gravel at her.
It didn't hit her, but it instantly shut her up.
"Get him out now, or when the lockdown ends, I'll have my family destroy your shop."
"Since you can open a hotel here, someone from your family should be in the inner city?"
"Want to try and see if I can find him?" As he spoke, he picked up another stone from under his feet and tossed it back and forth in his hand, his eyes staring at the proprietress like a venomous snake, as if looking for the best angle to attack.
The proprietress, who had been a bit tough at first, was so excited by his words that her lips trembled. She opened and closed her mouth several times, but finally turned around helplessly, wiping her hands on her bib awkwardly.
"Xiao Zhou, I'm sorry, I can't help it." In the end, she just handed over a few safety science brochures distributed to tourists.
Zhou Ye could see the helplessness and guilt on her face, but his heart was not moved. He just nodded slowly, sighed helplessly, and took the manual.
After all, it was he who used the sand table positioning to make the plastic flowers generate the phantoms of the monsters all the way and forced them here.
As his helpless and lonely expression appeared on the light screen, the shock value soared like water, which just confirmed his guess.
It turns out that as long as you leave a deep impression on people and generate emotions, it will be fine.
What about negative emotions, do they not exist or are they not displayed.
Hundreds of cameras have been set up under the light screen. The inner city civilians who have discovered business opportunities and hate the nobles and the children of the association almost don’t need to think about it and spread it madly on various platforms.
The platform belonging to the Citizens Mutual Aid Association naturally does not allow the video to be broadcast, and it will be banned as soon as it goes online.
But the profit-seeking and everything-oriented guarantee foundation platform has begun to spread wildly.
-I'm serious, is the situation in Qingshui City so serious? I'm in Yuntian, which is basically all citizens. Although there are still some old-fashioned people, young people don't have this kind of atmosphere.
-In Xiangshan over here, at least there is no such degree of attacking when seeing civilians, and why does this black hair look a little familiar...
-Front row, I don’t want to explain, I just want to ask Sima Ming? When he comes, this place will probably be bombed into an empty space.
-One more for the people upstairs. These ignorant guys are talking about nobles and commoners here. They are really showing off. Besides, it may not be an empty space. The ground in Xiangshan City is quite brittle and may crack directly.
-One more, puff. I have no problem with nobles. I just like watching fireworks shows.
-Ground: What are you doing! Why did you hire him? ! Hahahaha.
-What are you saying upstairs? I don’t understand.
-It’s so miserable... I don’t understand what they are saying upstairs, but who can come to save him? ! It feels like the black-haired person looks pitiful. After being scolded, he is about to break.
-Good guy, he even comforted the boss, he's really a nice guy.
-So I really understand why a noble like Siming would protect him. If I knew a friend like this, I feel like I would be bullied to death if I let him go...
-I'm just a passerby, I want to ask who is on the light screen, the poor black-haired briquettes, why does he look like he was soaked by rain after being scolded.
-Upstairs, this is a living person...I was drenched in silence.
-So where did Siming go? !
