The people standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows in blue and white uniforms included young people and elderly people with gray hair. Si Xun didn't know all of them. He memorized the appearance of each of them in his mind. Suddenly, a middle-aged man with blond hair walked over.
"Mr. Si." The blond man extended his hand towards Si Xun.
"Mr. Smith." Si Xun returned the handshake with a polite smile. "I didn't treat you well the last time you came to District 6. If you have the chance next time, please come to District 6 as a guest."
Mr. Smith smiled and said, "There will be a chance."
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Xie Xuan beside him, "Who is this?"
"My subordinate." Si Xun briefly introduced him and said to Xie Xuan, "Go get me a glass of champagne."
Xie Xuan knew that Si Xun was trying to get her out of the way, so she nodded slightly to Smith and turned to go to the dining table.
However, Xie Xuan felt that Si Xun's move was unnecessary, as she could not understand the common language of the first four districts. However, Xie Xuan took this opportunity to take a look at the surrounding environment.
There was no shelter in the entire conference hall and only one exit, which was guarded by A-level psychics wearing blue and white uniforms.
As soon as Xie Xuan looked over, someone turned around and looked at her sharply. From the looks of it, these psychics belonging to the ecological organization were not simple characters. If a fight really broke out, she would definitely be pinned down.
However, things would not necessarily develop to this point. Xie Xuan comforted herself that after all, they were now guests invited to attend the exhibition.
But Xie Xuan had a growing feeling of uneasiness in her heart.
She took a deep breath and continued to look around.
There are already staff members debugging the projection equipment in the center of the venue. After all, they don't have sharp eyes, so they definitely can't see anything just standing here and looking through the glass. It is estimated that there will be cameras tracking this so-called biological weapon at close range and broadcasting the entire process live.
Xie Xuan suddenly felt that they were like people sitting in the audience seats of the ancient Roman Colosseum, taking pleasure in the blood and death of innocent people.
Xie Xuan felt a little physically uncomfortable again.
She dawdled over to the drinks counter and was about to reach for the champagne when a voice came from the side, "No need, thank you."
Xie Xuan turned her head and saw Si Xun frowning slightly with a serious expression, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Have you finished talking?" Xie Xuan couldn't help but ask.
"We didn't talk much," Si Xun said. "His name is Miles Smith. He's mainly responsible for the project's finances. To put it more bluntly, he's just recruiting people to sponsor the ecological organization. He's not a very important person."
Xie Xuan nodded, "So he just wanted to say hello to you?"
Si Xun shook his head. "He went to District 6 a while ago to seek sponsorship from Xie Yuheng of Noah Technology. It's said that not only did he not get any sponsorship, he didn't even meet Xie Yuheng. But he just told me that he invited Xie Yuheng to visit the District 2 Ecological Bureau headquarters, and Xie Yuheng has already agreed."
Xie Xuan was stunned. "Xie Yuheng is going to District 2?"
Si Xun asked casually, "Do you know Xie Yuheng?"
Xie Xuan: "Who doesn't know the chairman of Noah Technology, who's famous?"
Si Xun didn't dwell on Xie Xuan's answer. "Residents of District 6 need to submit an application to the Ecological Bureau a month in advance if they want to leave District 6, especially someone with a sensitive identity like Xie Yuheng. If Xie Yuheng really had plans to go to District 2 soon, I wouldn't have received no news at all. He's probably just wishful thinking."
But Xie Xuan felt that this was not necessarily the case. At least judging from the last time Xie Yuheng dared to sneak to 278 Street to hunt alone with a B-level mutant, it was not impossible for Xie Yuheng to suddenly become depressed and want to go directly to the headquarters of the Second District Ecological Bureau.
But it's not too late to think about these things later. Xie Xuan and Si Xun said, "There's only one exit here. Even though this is the 50th floor, if we have to, we probably will have to break the window."
Si Xun didn't think Xie Xuan was overthinking it. "I hope it won't come to this. We're cut off from the outside world now, and District 13 is a million miles away from District 6. If we rashly break up with the ecological organization here, we might not be able to return."
Xie Xuan also sincerely hoped that she was just overthinking it.
As more and more people entered the venue, time slowly approached ten o'clock.
The staff of the ecological organization have already debugged the projection equipment and started playing the latest promotional video of the ecological organization.
This was not the first time Xie Xuan had seen this promotional video. After all, on the Internet in District 6, there were countless spoof edited versions of this short four-minute promotional video.
This is not because the netizens of this generation are too talented, but because the concept promoted in this promotional video is too outrageous.
Of the four minutes in this promotional video, three and a half minutes are devoted to discussing the benefits of harmonious coexistence between humans and bacteria and how humans should coexist harmoniously with bacteria. The last half minute concludes that knocking down the walls will be the first step for mankind to enter a great new era.
Xie Xuan once strongly agreed with the comments of some netizens, saying that tearing down the walls will not allow mankind to enter a new era, but will directly make mankind enter the old era.
However, after learning about what District 13 had experienced in the past year and what it was about to encounter now, Xie Xuan actually felt that this seemingly incredible promotional video did make some sense.
Blindly defending will eventually lead humans to slow death. Only by launching a counterattack against the fungi before completely losing the ability to fight back can humans have a chance of survival.
But this counterattack definitely does not start with tearing down the walls.
After the four-minute promotional video was over, a three-minute countdown appeared on the screen.
The person who spoke from the ecological organization was a young man in his thirties, using the common language of the first four districts. Si Xun translated for Xie Xuan simultaneously.
"Welcome everyone to this meeting. This experiment was conducted after a referendum by all residents of District 13, where a majority vote approved the plan. It is completely in line with the spirit of humanitarianism and democracy."
Xie Xuan couldn't help but be filled with questions when she heard this. Do ecological organizations have any misunderstandings about the word "humanitarianism"?
"This experiment will showcase the results of decades of research conducted by ecological organizations with support from various regions. We believe the results of this experiment will be revolutionary and very likely to become the key to changing the passive situation in the fight against fungal infections and invasions."
Xie Xuan felt that the last half of the sentence was right. After all, now that they were infected actively, there was no question of whether they were passive or not.
When the countdown reached the last minute, the door of the venue was closed, and as the only entrance and exit was closed, a picture was displayed on the screen.
