Chapter 241 Ling Xiao
"That was a... very beautiful woman." The boy recalled, "She was sitting on the highest point of the ruins, and her whole body exuded a faint light... She was more beautiful than any woman I have ever seen."
Beautiful woman? Exuding a faint glow?
Sun Hang looked at the boy with some confusion, and in the next second, he made a decision - instead of making random guesses based on the boy's description, it would be better to take a direct look at the "real scene" he saw.
"You may feel something strange next, but don't worry, you just need to stay calm." Sun Hang said.
This sentence is actually a bit redundant - the boy's mood has always been calm, whether it was when Sun Hang kicked him away or when he shot Sun Hang in the head.
"Oh." The boy nodded.
The ability of "memory reading" was instantly activated, and scenes of messy scenes flashed before Sun Hang's eyes until he went back to the night a few days ago, when the boy who was scavenging among the ruins raised his head and saw the woman. .
"Sure enough." Sun Hang frowned slightly.
This woman is none other than "Anna Demoshena" who escaped from the Nameless Island Research Institute.
Sun Hang finally understood why this boy gave him a familiar feeling... Obviously, Anna swallowed up his emotions - it was not that he was calm and composed beyond his years, but because he had lost his joy, anger, sorrow and joy. Waiting for emotions, just like those hunters on the nameless island who were "captured" by Anna.
"Anna...is this guy already lurking in the city..." Sun Hang couldn't help but feel a little irritated.
For Sun Hang, Anna is neither an enemy nor a friend, and it is difficult to define her camp. But the trouble is, this guy has no normal concept of good and evil, and he has extremely little regard for human life. If what happened in Lizhou City happens again in Tianfu City...
The population density of Tianfu City is much higher than that of Lizhou City. If such an attack were to occur in the downtown area, the number of casualties would definitely be in the hundreds of thousands.
But what made Sun Hang a little puzzled was that Anna only swallowed the boy's emotions, but did not kill the boy... She also did not take any action against the boy's family who was close at hand.
What is this?
Dessert before a big meal? Or is it just a matter of openness?
What confused Sun Hang the most was... Anna actually called herself a god in front of the boy...
If this guy is a god, then who do you think he is?
God’s mother?
This is somewhat nonsense.
Sun Hang would rather think that Anna is just teasing the little boy... She will appear in front of the little boy, talk to him, and swallow up his emotions... All of this may just be her whim.
It's like a monster wandering between heaven and earth with nothing to do, looking for a little fun for himself when bored.
In Sun Hang's opinion, the word monster is more suitable for her than god.
"I know the woman you saw." Sun Hang said to the boy.
"Really?" The boy was stunned for a moment, but his face remained expressionless.
"She is not a god, she is a very dangerous monster." Sun Hang said, "She may have killed more people than you can name in your memory... The reason why she will spare your life , maybe just because she was in a good mood that night."
"Such a beautiful woman...is she a monster?" the boy murmured.
"Didn't your mother tell you that the more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous she is?"
"My mother would never tell me this." The boy shook his head.
The image of the middle-aged woman in the audience just now appeared in Sun Hang's mind, and he nodded in agreement: "Yes."
He threw the pistol to the boy and said: "This gun is for you. When you see that woman again, just like I taught you, shoot her in the head - if the head is not easy to aim, the chest The abdominal position can also be considered a key point.”
"Okay, I understand." The boy nodded and put away the pistol very carefully.
Sun Hang breathed a sigh of relief.
At least, Anna did not implant something similar to a "thought stamp" in the boy's heart, making the boy firmly believe that "she is a god"... Otherwise, it would be troublesome to deal with this matter.
Sun Hang doesn't want someone in his army who worships her as a god...
wrong.
Sun Hang recalled what he saw and heard in the boy's memory screen, and he suddenly realized something.
The boy didn't seem to believe in God at all.
Even if he firmly believes that Anna is a god, this knowledge will not have any impact on his behavior.
"I want to ask you something." Sun Hang said.
"If God really existed in this world, would you pull the trigger on God?" Sun Hang thought for a while and added, "If that God is not a good thing."
"Yes." The boy replied.
"That's good. What I need is someone like you." Sun Hang patted the boy on the shoulder, "By the way, I haven't asked you what your name is yet."
"Ling Xiao." The boy replied.
"Lingxiao of Lingxiao Palace?"
"Ling in the early morning, brave Xiao."
"What a good name." Sun Hang said, "From now on, you will be the No. 1 student at the training base."
……
...Not long after, Ye Jiu came over with a pile of forms. From the expression on his face, it could be seen that the recruitment work did not seem to go so smoothly.
"What's wrong? You look sad?" Sun Hang asked.
"People who signed up are very enthusiastic...but..."
"Just what?"
"It's just that nine out of ten of these people don't meet the requirements." Ye Jiu glanced at Ling Xiao who had completed the registration form next to him, and continued, "There are only six adults who meet the requirements, and minors. Including him, there are only two people... And this is just the age threshold, not even the preliminary screening... After the physical examination is completed, it will be good to have one person left among these eight people."
The age threshold for the training camp was discussed among everyone. It was initially set as 12 to 17 years old for minors and 18 to 45 years old for adults... Sun Hang thought that this threshold was already set very broadly. Especially for adults, for civilians who have not received professional training, their physical fitness has begun to decline after the age of thirty, and it is common for their bodies to gain weight in their early forties... For such people , if they can't run out of breath even if they run a hundred meters, they will definitely not be able to pass the high-intensity training.
"Many children want to sign up, but they are held back by their parents. After all, there are still a small number of beasts like Chen Hongjuan, and the vast majority of parents are still unwilling to send their children to the battlefield - even if we provide benefits No matter how good the treatment is," Yang Lian, who served as Ye Jiu's assistant, added from the side.
"Who is Chen Hongjuan?" Sun Hang asked curiously.
"Ling Xiao's biological mother." Yang Lian took off the Mo Jing, folded it and stuffed it into his pocket. "She is the middle-aged woman who just asked you about your benefits in the audience."
"That big stack of registration forms that Ye Jiu holds in his arms..."
"When I saw how enthusiastic everyone was at first, I immediately handed out the registration forms and asked them to fill them out... Who would have thought that after I collected them, I found that there were not many that met the requirements." Ye Jiu complained, "Thanks to the distribution of registration forms. When I was expressing my feelings, I repeatedly emphasized the age limit, but none of them listened to my feelings..."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Most of the people who filled out the form were middle-aged and elderly people over fifty years old." Yang Lian said, "Their purpose was not to pass the training at all, but to exchange their lives for a generous pension for their families, and Opportunity to leave Shuzhou ”
"To put it in layman's terms, this group of people are risking their lives to fight against us." Ye Jiu said.
"What about the other minor who signed up?" Sun Hang asked.
"That little girl was an orphan. Her family were all killed in the Longyan Barrier incident, and no one stopped her." Yang Lian explained.
"First, qualified applicants will be sent to the research institute for physical examination and mental state review." Sun Hang said, "Most of the people in this No. 6 resettlement camp come from nearby residential areas. The disaster here is relatively mild, and the residents The evacuation is timely, and most of the refugee families have intact families... It is normal for them to be unable to recruit anyone. When the time comes to move to a refugee camp with more orphans, there should be many qualified young people signing up.”
"What you said..." Yang Lian glanced at Sun Hang, "So cold."
"When I first woke up, the tone you spoke to me was not much better." Sun Hang immediately countered, "You just didn't have to put a knife on my neck to force me to sign a contract of betrayal."
"I didn't know what kind of person you were at that time." Yang Lian snorted, "At that time, the people I dealt with were either shameless old gangsters or vicious death row criminals. I thought you were the same as them. People..."
"I don't believe you haven't seen my file." Sun Hang habitually pointed his middle finger at her, "Does it say I am a Lao Lao or does it say I am a death row prisoner?"
"Okay... I admit, I may have just brought the work attitude I am accustomed to to you..." Yang Lian took a long breath and said, "But the problem is that your file at that time was blank except for one name. I don’t even know if this name is true or not, I can only treat you as an illegal refugee... If you need to apologize, I can..."
"There is no need to apologize. I suggest some substantial compensation."
"...What compensation do you want?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll ask you for it when I think about it later."
"I'm warning... no... I suggest you, it's best not to be too outrageous." Yang Lian looked at Sun Hang warily.
"Don't worry, it's definitely something you can get."
"..." Yang Lian pursed her lips and did not continue talking about this topic. Instead, she took out a file with a special mark on the corner from the pile of files and said, "As for this file, you need to personally Check it out.”
"What's wrong with this file?" Sun Hang took the file and started looking through it, "Jiang Yu, 26 years old, female, local household registration in Tianfu City... Oh, she is actually a federal first-class archery athlete, and she has not won the How about a small prize... Isn't this a rare talent? If a bow and arrow-type trick equipment is customized for her, she should be able to maximize her own strengths..."
"Don't be too eager to be happy yet. Turn to the third page, the column about disease conditions." Yang Lian said.
"Oh..." Sun Hang flipped through two pages and found the column Yang Lian was talking about. In this column, the four characters "late stage gastric cancer" were written.
"The reason why she quit the Tianfu City Archery Team was because she was diagnosed with gastric cancer last year, and it was the most malignant signet ring cell cancer. It was already in the advanced stage when it was discovered." Yang Lian said, "I went to see her for treatment. The hospital obtained her medical records... Her cancer cells spread very quickly. , there was no need for surgery, and the final treatment was palliative treatment. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy were alternated... Although the Tianfu City Archery Team and the federal government launched several fundraisers for her, her family was not wealthy and the amount was high. The cost of treatment is still a huge burden.”
"So?"
"I think...she may have signed up for training because of the pension." Yang Lian said, "I don't think a patient with terminal cancer who must rely on chemotherapy and radiotherapy to maintain his life can withstand that kind of high intensity. training.”
"Where is her family?"
"My father died young, leaving me with only my mother and one younger sister. My mother works in the cafeteria of Tianfucheng University of Science and Technology, and my younger sister just entered junior high school this year," Yang Lian said.
"Let her pass." Sun Hang said.
"If you are pitying her... you can give her the money directly and send her family to leave Shuzhou. You have that authority." Yang Lian paused for a moment before continuing, "Actually, no It is necessary for her to participate in this kind of training that is fatal for her.”
"Who said she must die..." Sun Hang glanced at Yang Lian, "Go find her and ask her one thing - is she tortured to death by cancer, or becomes a 'healthy' infected person? Which one to choose?”
"Are you planning to take her..." Yang Lian opened his eyes slightly, "I'm afraid this doesn't comply with the regulations... Song Yarong's incident was an 'emergency evacuation' and there is no need to hold her accountable, but Jiang Yu's situation is completely different... This It is a matter of principle. An infected person must not take the initiative to infect a normal person, even if the other person volunteers. If this rule is broken..."
"Are you stubborn?" Sun Hang was speechless. "We can't let her encounter a small accident, and then her life is in danger, and I happen to be the only one who can save her. Isn't this enough? Besides, you Don’t you think that the in vivo experiments in the institute must comply with these regulations?”
Yang Lian looked at Sun Hang, then at the file that was stuffed back into his hand, bit his lip hard, nodded and said: "...Okay, I will make arrangements."
"We are saving her, not harming her." Sun Hang said, "As for breaking the rules, let it go away."
