Chapter 885 "Scale Man" (VI)
The screen came back on, and the light flickered on and off. Rui and the other three were sitting in the car handcuffed and legcuffed. Their faces could not be seen clearly and they could only hear his low voice.
"Why hurt people?" Rui said.
"Boss. Isn't it obvious?"
The man sitting across from me replied.
Rui fell into silence, and the "rumbling" noise filled the space.
"It will explode, the screen will fall, and many people will die." After a while, Rui whispered.
"But Po is also a human! He is also a scale human! One of our own race!"
"..." Rui stopped making any sound.
"Boss, let's not abide by our principles."
Abo, who had been trapped by Li Hu and was violently rescued by his companion A Liu, had a hoarse voice.
Just as Rui was about to speak, light poured in, the closed container opened the door, and Pan Hong stood with the backlight.
A Liu and A Po snorted coldly at the same time and turned their faces to the left and right.
"What else do you want to say?" Rui said calmly.
Pan Hong turned slightly sideways and sat down so that the sunlight could shine on the three of them.
Judging from the moving scenery outside, the container is being carried by the mecha and flying in the air.
Pan Hong opened his mouth again and again, and finally said dryly:
"Well, Brother Big Bear is not dead, so don't cry."
"...I'm not crying." Rui's facial muscles twitched.
"Oh, if you're not crying, then you're not crying... Anyway!" Jian Rui's eyebrows were about to stand up again, Pan Hong said hurriedly, "Anyway, you've all been caught. Then give up resistance and get treatment, okay?"
When he wasn't shouting and speaking, his voice was surprisingly honest and gentle.
Rui's face turned cold.
"Oh, why can't you trust Mr. Yan Bing? He is really trying hard to find a way to cure the scale people."
When Pan Hong saw him like this, he felt helpless and anxious, "Stubbornness must have a head, don't resist the doctor like the old grandparents, okay--"
"I don't mean to look down on you. Rui, you also said that scaly people are human beings too. Yes, you are just people with scaly disease, so you can definitely be cured as long as you take serious treatment."
Seeing that A Liu and A Po were about to open their mouths, Rui sneered.
"Where are people with scaly disease sent?" he asked.
"Eh? Medical base! The medical base built under Mr. Yan Bing's personal supervision! The equipment is all top-notch!"
Pan Hong looked happy and gave Rui Bi a thumbs up, who was finally willing to communicate with him.
Ray scoffed.
"Have the patients who were sent in ever come out?" he asked.
Panhong was stunned with "Uh".
"That's because many of them have stayed at the base to participate in work, and some people are in more serious condition and will be quarantined for a long time to prevent infection, so..."
Rui burst out laughing.
His laughter was strange and sad, with an indescribable pity.
"Hey! What are you crazy about?" Pan Hong asked uncomfortably.
Ray stopped laughing.
"Okay, so that's it." He said.
"What's this and that? Speak clearly! If you're a fool like me, I won't understand unless you explain!" Pan Hong frowned.
Rui was laughing again, very miserably.
"You trust your Mr. Yan Bing so much."
He said quietly, "If your relatives and companions became scalers, would you safely send them to the medical base?"
"ha?"
Pan Hong was about to speak when excited shouts came from outside, saying that the strong bear was out of danger, and he immediately became happy.
"Of course I will give it to you! Getting treatment is the best choice when you are sick!"
Pan Hong replied without hesitation, "Okay, I'll go see Brother Big Bear, and you guys...just cooperate with the treatment! It's agreed!"
I don't know where he got the confidence from, but he leaned over and patted Rui on the shoulder very familiarly, and then jumped with the help of the powered exoskeleton.
The container was closed again, leaving only a narrow light-transmitting window.
"Does it work?" After a moment, A Liu lowered his voice.
Apo shook his head: "No."
They had been secretly trying to break through the shackles.
"Boss?" A Liu asked softly.
Ray blinked calmly.
"We'll talk about it when we get to the base." His voice was calm.
…
In the simple and spacious ward, Pan Hong, who had always been loud, kept quiet and put a hand on his sister's thin shoulder.
"Let's go, Brother Big Bear still needs to rest," he said.
Panqing, who was lying beside the hospital bed, raised his head, nodded lowly, and looked back when he left.
"The doctor said that he was seriously injured, and even if he recovers, he will no longer be able to fly a mecha..."
"……Um."
From a bird's eye view, the two brothers Panhong and Panqing were walking in the corridor. The glass covered bridge built in the sky is quite beautiful, but it looks cold because of the various medical staff and medical facilities.
"If I could have conveyed the order faster..." Pan Qing's voice began to tremble.
"No, this is not your fault." Pan Hong comforted awkwardly, "Have you forgotten what Mr. Yan Bing said? We are guardians. Guardians must be prepared to sacrifice for the people anytime and anywhere."
He said warmly: "No one died this time, and no one got sick. Brother Big Bear will be very happy if he knows."
"But……"
Pan Qing's hands tightly grasped the hem of his clothes, "This could have been avoided..."
She took off her glasses, bit her lower lip, and covered her eyes with her sleeves.
Pan Hong held Pan Qing's left hand and said nothing, looking down at his waist.
There was a pocket pistol pinned there, with a bear head printed on the nameplate, which was the inheritance given to him by the captain.
The sunlight flashed, tearing the shadows of the two people on the ground into irregular shapes.
Daily life in New Century City continued. A grand commendation ceremony was held in the city center. Pan Hong became the best member of the special search and rescue team because of his "important strategic contribution in the operation to capture the top leaders of the Angry Scale Party". On the solemn and sacred red carpet, Archon Yan Bing personally awarded him the medal.
The camera moved away, and the location of Yoyo Milk Tea had been replaced by a new store, and the commercial street was still bustling. From time to time, several majestic and cool mechas flew across the sky, pulling out several long linear trails in the heated discussions of the crowd.
Further away, in the dimly lit alley, a hooded man who was still wrapped tightly on a hot day appeared. He/she turned his head and looked in the direction of the former Yoyo Milk Tea, and left in a hurry after a few seconds, turning around in the alley.
The screen cuts to the man's perspective. Downstairs in a residential building not far away, a girl in a white dress runs out of the transparent double doors holding a package and hands the package to the man in a hoodie waiting at the door.
The two face each other, with shyness on their faces and cautious in their conversation, but their eyes always fall on each other's eyes involuntarily, refusing to move away, just like a prospective couple who are in love and just need to break the last layer of window paper.
The camera gives the front face of the hooded man, that is Shu Zhen, only half of his face is intact.
Her eyes are sad and helpless. After a moment of hesitation, she still presses the button on the keychain ornament.
The key chain on the waist of the hooded man suddenly flashes red, and those who don't know it think it is a car key.
He and the girl in the dress suddenly come back to their senses from the atmosphere filled with affection. The girl says goodbye to him, and the man nods at her with the package, and runs towards Shu Zhen with a look back every three steps.
The scene changes again. In the cave with torches, there is a pile of medicines and chemical instruments on the table in front of Shu Zhen.
She operated skillfully and looked extremely serious.
The breeze blew open the notepad on the corner of the table. The previous page was filled with a cute sketch and a milk tea recipe.
With a soft "whoosh", the flame ignited from Shu Zhen's palm and evenly heated the bottom of the flask.
The wind blew again, and the notepad flipped. The milk tea recipe soon disappeared, leaving only dense records of reagent preparation.
The neat words enlarged on the screen, then faded out and turned into characters on the computer page.
The sound of typing on the keyboard was like a storm, and the fingers danced out afterimages. The camera looked up again, and it was Pan Qing's tense profile.
"Hello--Hello--"
The knock on the door and the call overlapped, and it was Pan Hong's voice.
"It's right to work hard, but don't forget to eat!" he said.
Pan Qing stopped abruptly after a few seconds, and the extreme "movement" suddenly turned into "stillness", and her fingers trembled uncontrollably.
"I'm here."
Pan Qing exhaled, wiped the sweat off her face, and staggered to her feet from the pile of screens and keyboards.
The floor was cluttered with all kinds of documents and tablet devices. She fell flat on her face, struggling with a "woo..." and reaching out to grab the door handle.
The door opened, and light shone through Pan Hong's figure, illuminating Pan Qing's wide sleeves that slipped down as he stretched out his arms. Both of them widened their eyes at the same time.
On Pan Qing's right forearm, a cluster of dark blue hard scales glowed with a strange light.
