"The person I want to thank today is Li Xue, the captain of the Hope Mercenary Corps." Wang Weiming didn't have to be so fussy and said directly, "During this riot, Captain Li acted promptly and decisively to stop the violence of the thugs, and the safety of the lives and property of the residents in the villa area was guaranteed to a certain extent..."
People in the square began to discuss quietly, and many people had heard about it.
Li Xue stood by the stage holding Haohao, frowning as she listened to Wang Weiming's words. She finally understood why they originally didn't plan to attend this conference, but the base sent someone to invite them to attend.
"Xiaoxue, what do you think Wang Weiming means?" Lin Miao was a little confused.
Li Xue shook her head, she didn't know either.
Wang Weiming on the stage was still speaking with emotion: "A few days ago, the base openly collected medicines from all the people. Captain Li was the first to take the lead and hoped that the mercenaries would take out the most medicines, so that the injuries caused by the riots could be effectively controlled." In fact, except for the two bags of medicines from Li Xue and others, the base did not receive much medicine this time.
It's not that the whole base has no medicine, but that all the medicine in these people's hands is sold to the black market at a price higher than the price offered by the base. (People in the base will not sell some things that are not legitimate or in short supply in the market, but will find a mysterious organization to deal with those things. Since no one knows where this organization comes from, and their trading methods are also a bit shady, over time, people call them the black market.) The black market then sells them to some powerful and needy people at a higher price.
Li Xue and others also knew about this. Jian Hui was so angry that she beat her chest and stamped her feet, saying that she was cheated by the base. If she had known earlier, she would have sold it directly to the black market. She even encouraged Li Xue to take out some more medicine and sell it to the black market. Li Xue was not tempted at all. In fact, it was not a loss to sell the drugs to the base. It was because they did not inquire about the situation first. If they sold the drugs to the black market now, it would definitely attract other people's attention.
"And what we are most grateful for is that it was Captain Li who proposed the research on mutants this time! Her proposal saved the people of the entire base and we no longer have to worry about food. The leaders of the base unanimously decided to award Captain Li an honorary medal and certificate for outstanding contributions, and also some prizes to encourage her. Please invite Captain Li to come on stage to receive the award." As
soon as Wang Weiming said these words, it immediately caused a burst of applause. Oh my God, this great proposal was actually proposed by Captain Li! Captain Li literally saved everyone in the base this time!
Li Xue and Lin Miao looked at each other. Why did the old general expose her? The reason they found the old general was that they didn't want to be in the spotlight too much.
The other members of Team Hope all looked at Li Xue in surprise. Was this proposal made by their captain? How come they didn't know?
At this time, Wang Weiming urged: "Captain Li, please go on stage."
The people in the square also shouted: "Captain Li, come up!"
Li Xue really didn't want to go up. She didn't want to be in the spotlight at all.
Lin Miao and Jian Hui pushed her, and Guo Qing also said: "It's already this time, you should go up and receive this award first."
Li Xue really had no choice but to hand Haohao to them and walked onto the stage alone.
When the people in the square saw Li Xue on the stage, they cheered: "Goddess! Goddess! Goddess!"
Li Xue really didn't like this kind of occasion. She had a somewhat unnatural smile on her face and bowed slightly to the people in the square. The people in the square screamed even more enthusiastically.
Jian Hui said to Lin Miao: "Hey, do you think this is like those star chasers meeting their idols before the end of the world?"
Lin Miao smiled softly: "It's really that interesting."
Wang Weiming personally presented Li Xue with an honorary medal and certificate. Li Xue took it with both hands and glanced at it quickly. It was a golden medal with the image of the H base gate. The certificate was bright red with a few gold-plated words "Outstanding Contribution Certificate of Honor" written on it. As for the prizes, the base brought two large boxes. When the boxes were opened, they were filled with crystal cores.
People in the square exclaimed, saying that the base was too generous. These two boxes of crystal cores looked like they were worth several thousand.
Li Xue quickly declined: "Base Commander, these are too valuable, I can't accept them. This medal and certificate are enough for me."
Wang Weiming smiled sincerely: "Captain Li, there is no need to refuse. No matter how valuable these things are, they are valuable. You have helped the base many times, regardless of your personal gains and losses. This time you helped the base come up with this method to help all the people in the base get through this difficult time. Your spirit and sentiment are priceless, and your contribution to the base is also priceless."
"Thank you, Captain Li, just accept it."
"Goddess, accept it."
The people in the square shouted again.
Wang Weiming smiled and said, "Captain Li, just accept it. This is called following the will of the people."
Li Xue had no choice but to smile and nod, "Thank you for the kindness of the base. I will accept these things."
Wang Weiming took the lead in applauding, and the people in the square followed suit.
Li Xue took her prize off the stage, and Wang Weiming announced that the punishment of the thugs would begin.
The square was immediately filled with cheers.
Two teams of soldiers with live ammunition escorted a large number of pale-faced prisoners towards the gate of the base. The dozens of people walking in the front had iron shackles on their hands and feet. These people were the instigators of this riot.
Looking at the miserable and pitiful appearance of these prisoners, who could have imagined that they were the vicious thugs a few days ago?
The crowd in the square was excited, and everyone was shouting "Kill them!" "Drive them out!" Some brave people picked up some stones from the ground and threw them at the prisoners.
The prisoners all looked stunned and dejected. They did not expect that their initial idea was just to make a fuss so that the leaders of the base would pay attention to them and find a way to let them have food. Why did things get out of control later? And the base was so decisive to drive them all out of the base. Isn't it said that the law is irresponsible? What they couldn't accept was that the base found a way to overcome the difficulties not long after they caused trouble, and the people in the base no longer had to worry about being hungry. But they missed this opportunity forever. After leaving the base, will they still have a way to survive?
Everyone in the square followed the escort team. They wanted to see these people being punished with their own eyes, so that they could reduce the anger in their hearts and the pain of losing their relatives and friends.
Li Xue asked Lin Miao to put the two boxes of crystal cores into the space, and then took the Hope Team and followed the crowd to the base gate.
