"I want to return something to the colonel." He took off his coat and said, "Can you pass it on for me?"

The judge smiled slightly: "Don't you wait for him?"

An Zhe thought, he only wore the colonel's coat once, but everyone seemed to tacitly accept that they had some kind of relationship.

"The colonel and I..." He said, "We are not very familiar with each other."

"I know." The judge's answer was beyond his expectation: "I just haven't seen the colonel with anyone else."

He stretched out his hand: "Give it to me."

An Zhe confirmed that the work manual and ballpoint pen were behind him, folded the coat simply, and handed it over. The judge held it with both hands.

In the sky, the aurora suddenly changed, like lightning suddenly illuminating the sky and the ground.

An Zhe's heart skipped a beat, and an irresistible intuition swept over him. He couldn't help but look at the city gate, at Lu Xun's figure, so tall and lonely in the night.

He suddenly realized that if he left now, he would never have anything to do with this person in his life.

He grabbed the coat again.

The judge looked at him.

"I..." An Zhe said, "I'll wait for him."

The judge smiled gently, unfolded the coat, and put it on him again: "Thank you."

An Zhe looked back at Lu Xun's figure. While they were talking, Lu Xun killed two more people.

He asked, "When will he rest?"

"I don't know." The judge said, "The colonel has been working for a long time, maybe in two or three hours."

An Zhe: "Thank you."

But the judge asked, "How did you get to know the colonel?"

An Zhe recalled.

"At the city gate." He skipped the spore incident and said, "He suspected that I was not a human being, so he took me for a genetic test, and I passed."

The judge raised his eyebrows.

An Zhe continued, "Then I was caught by him."

The judge smiled and said, "I know you are very brave."

An Zhe: "..."

"Then I was in the city defense station. I was a little afraid of the cold, so he lent me his room for one night." An Zhe counted on his fingers, "Then my friend and I were trapped in the room. We didn't know what to do, so we called him and came here." After he

finished speaking, he asked, "Does the colonel often help others when he is alive?"

If that's the case, then Lu Xun is indeed a good person.

"I don't know. There is no one else around him." The judge said.

After a while, he said, "Sometimes I want to protect some people, but no one will ask the court for help."

An Zhe pursed his lips and said, "You are very good."

At the end, he added, "You are not like the judge."

This judge's temper is very gentle even among all the people he has met.

The judge smiled and said, "Many people say so. Maybe people like the colonel are qualified."

An Zhe: "It seems so."

He thought that Lu Xun's cold personality might be the reason why he could make the most accurate judgment.

"This is the first year that the colonel has worked for the Tribunal." The judge said, "The judge can tell him whether the judge's judgment is correct, but no one can tell him whether it is right or wrong. He is fighting against unimaginable monsters, lurking aliens, other people's doubts... and himself." "

So I think that in addition to indifference, there are other things that made the colonel spend ten years in the Tribunal." The judge said, "I hope you can understand him."

This judge always directed the topic to Lu Xun, and An Zhe saw through him.

But at this time, the judge frowned slightly and looked at the other side of the isolation wall.

There were many people gathered there, more than before. An Zhe originally thought that the residents of the city came to watch the excitement, but they all looked very serious, as if they were attending a large gathering.

They were talking in low voices, and An Zhe vaguely caught a few words.

"The proportion... is terrible..."

"Four thousand."

"... Start."

He saw the judge next to him frowned and gestured to the guards in the distance.

A team of guards came over, and at this time, the people gathered at the wall dispersed. There were hundreds of them, and the scale after they dispersed seemed even larger, and new people kept coming out of the city and joining in.

Someone in the crowd waved, and An Zhe confirmed that it was waved in his direction. He looked over and saw a familiar young face. It was the person who led him to Building 117 on the first day he entered the human base.

At that time, they were marching.

——An Zhe suddenly knew what these people were doing, and he looked at them with wide eyes.

The leading person took out a folded white paper from his clothes and unfolded it.

On the white paper were written two big words in red: "Atrocities against the judges."

Then, the people next to that person also unfolded their own papers, "Immediately publish the trial details."

"Please announce the trial standards."

"Refuse to repeat the trial day."

"Give an explanation to the dead."

"Unreasonable killings are not acceptable."

"Refuse to maintain base security through mass murder."

"Request regular assessments of the mental state of the judges."

"To the court: Please be responsible for the population loss rate of the base."

"The current judge's killing rate is far higher than in previous generations. Please give the base an explanation."

Aurora, these white papers unfolded like flowers, and they gathered together like a silent flowing ocean, the pale white was the background of the ocean, and the blood-red handwriting was the waves raised by this ocean.

The people outside the wall started to stir. They stretched their necks and looked through the translucent isolation tape to see the situation on the other side. The dead silence was broken by this sudden movement. They whispered to each other.

An Zhe looked at the city gate.

At the city gate, Lu Xun's figure moved slightly and looked sideways into the city.

In that indifferent glance, he seemed to see nothing. He turned around, loaded the gun, pulled the trigger, and another person fell in a pool of blood, a short-haired girl.

If An Zhe remembered correctly, this was the first person Lu Xun had killed in succession.

It was the second person's turn, a copper-skinned man. His terrified eyes hesitated between Lu Xun, the judge, and the thick bloodstain on the ground, and he took no steps forward. The

soldier with a gun came up and drove him away. His facial muscles twitched, and he stared at the crowd of demonstrators standing in front of him. Finally, he gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and sat on the ground: "I won't go!"

This action greatly inspired the demonstrators inside the wall, and they raised their banners higher.

Outside the wall, the second person sat down.

The third.

The fourth.

It was like a torrent sweeping over them. In just five minutes, they sat down like falling dominoes. No one spoke, and no one entered the trial area. The aurora danced wildly in the sky. They looked at Lu Xun in the center in silence, expressing their resistance with an attitude of refusal to cooperate.

Lu Xun's expression did not change at all. He drooped his eyelashes slightly and lowered his head to replace the new magazine for his gun. This man's slightly slanted eyebrows and thin long eyes have a natural upward arc, which often looks domineering. When he lowered his eyes, the arc was like an extremely cold disdain and whistle.

With a light click, the magazine was replaced.

He said, "Bring it up."

The soldiers at the city defense station hesitated for a moment, and the scene was silent for a full second before two soldiers stepped forward and roughly lifted up the first man who was sitting.

Lu Xun slowly raised his gun.

Everyone looked at them. A woman's sobbing came from the crowd, and then the sobbing spread like a virus. It seemed that they were about to face not a trial, but a massacre.

Perhaps the trial of Japan would be a massacre, just like it was a hundred years ago, and it would be a hundred years later.

At this moment, the sound of an armored vehicle broke the tense atmosphere. Howard came out of the car with a team of guards and said to Lu Xun, "What's going on?"

Lu Xun said in a calm tone, "The residents refused to cooperate."

Howard looked around and frowned, "Lu Xun, you don't want to kill people, it's too much."

Lu Xun's tone did not change, but his voice was slightly hoarse, "No."

"Today's situation is urgent," Howard's adjutant handed him a loudspeaker, and he said to the residents, "It's related to the safety of the base. Large-scale infection may occur at any time. Please cooperate with the work of the Tribunal and the City Defense Office."

No one moved. Perhaps the infection that broke out at an unknown time is more terrifying than the muzzle of the judge in front of him.

Howard obviously noticed everyone's silence. He glanced at the protest slogans, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's each take a step back. The court will make the trial details public, and the residents will re-enter the trial process."

"Howard." Lu Xun's voice sounded faintly.

The crowd suddenly burst into screams!

——Because the muzzle of Lu Xun's gun slowly turned towards Howard.

Howard was stunned, and then frowned and said, "Colonel Lu, what are you doing?"

Howard's guards took a step forward, unanimously raised their guns and loaded them, aiming the muzzles at Lu Xun!

Stalemate.

Howard sneered, "Colonel Lu, I didn't touch a bug today."

Lu Xun: "You've been infected."

"I understand that the Tribunal wants to take over the city defense station." Howard said in a low voice, "But now is the critical moment for the survival of the base, Colonel Lu, there is a limit to your abuse of power." As

soon as these words came out, the crowd immediately became agitated.

Lu Xun's finger was on the trigger. He didn't say a word, but his action had already shown what he wanted to do.

The city defense station guards were the same. Their actions were bigger. Obviously, if Lu Xun just shot at their chief Howard, they would immediately shoot him to death.

Death-like silence, spreading and solidifying like ice.

In this suffocating silence, a man shouted from inside the wall.

"Power over the judges!"

He shouted and everyone responded. Everyone - inside the wall, outside the wall, those who were already there, and those who had just entered, all shouted out with this slogan.

"Power over the judges!"

"Power over the judges!"

"Power over the judges!"

The voices were higher and higher, but Lu Xun in the center of the cave did not move.

An Zhe looked at Lu Xun's back and he almost forgot to breathe.

He didn't know Lu Xun very well, but with that little understanding, he knew that Lu Xun would really shoot.

He would die.

The young judge beside him also murmured: "No..."

- At this moment.

In the distance on the road, a white light suddenly appeared. The light kept flashing, and at the same time, a piercing whistle sounded. The crowd avoided it. A white mechanical car with a red pointed triangle painted on the body rumbled and drove quickly. When it got close, the door opened and a young man in a white coat jumped out. An Zhe recognized him. A month ago at the city gate, his genetic test was done by this young doctor.

"I'm the person in charge of the lighthouse detection department." He took the loudspeaker and took a few quick breaths: "The first generation of gene coupling agents was successfully configured an hour ago, which can achieve rapid target imaging. It only takes..."

He was out of breath, took another breath, and then said: "...it only takes five minutes."

As he said that, he twisted the disposable syringe and walked forward: "Director Howard, if you are willing to cooperate."

Howard calmly took off the sleeves of his fully enclosed protective military uniform, accepted the blood draw, and then looked at Lu Xun.

Everyone else also looked at Lu Xun. An Zhe knew that they were waiting for a result - a result that Howard's gene test was abnormal, to prove that the judge was killing without limit.

Someone in the crowd behind him said, "We have changed history."

He also saw Lu Xun holding his gun, leaning against the wall with an expressionless face, cleaning his gun. He seemed to care nothing. What

would he think? An Zhe thought.

Three minutes later, Lu Xun cleaned his gun. He buckled it back to his waist and glanced at the crowd around him.

An Zhe looked at him, maybe for a moment, he and him looked at each other briefly for a few tenths of a second.

An Zhe immediately stood beside the judge to show his position.

Lu Xun seemed to smile, but he didn't see it clearly because he turned back in a second.

One more minute.

The crowd of demonstrators became more chaotic and talked a lot.

Half a minute.

굛 seconds.

They began to count.

"굛, nine, eight, 궝, six, five, four, three, two, one——"

The red light on the roof of the detection vehicle was shining brightly.

The ominous alarm sounded suddenly with great penetrating power: "Beep——"

The crowd suddenly fell into silence.

A gunshot.

Without Lu Xun's action, the guards at the city gate opened fire.

The silence spread here, no one spoke, and finally, the doctor spoke: "Colonel——"

Lu Xun said nothing, turned around and walked into the city, he walked straight past everyone, and also passed An Zhe.

The silent crowd seemed like frozen puppets, and only responded when he approached, slowly parting a path.

In An Zhe's eyes, his figure overlapped with the back of him turning away at the base gate that day. An Zhe had only seen him turning away, but had never seen him walking towards anyone.

The judge suddenly touched An Zhe with his elbow.

An Zhe immediately responded, holding Lu Xun's work manual and chasing after Lu Xun - the judge was tall and long-legged, and he had to jog to catch up.

"Colonel."

Lu Xun did not respond.

"Colonel, wait a moment."

Lu Xun still did not respond.

"Colonel..." An Zhe panted for a few breaths. He didn't have much strength to begin with, and the running affected his voice, making it even softer. He frowned and said, "Slow down, I can't keep up with you..."

The colonel stopped and turned to look at him.

An Zhe, who hadn't even caught his breath yet, raised his head and said, "Colonel..."

"Speak nicely." Lu Xun glanced at him coldly and said, "Don't act like a spoiled child."

An Zhe: "..."
