Chapter 893 "Scale Man" (Fourteen)

In the picture, Panqing fully invaded the system and took control of New Century City's information channels.

In an instant, Rui's face appeared on shopping mall display screens, company computers, TV sets and other electronic terminals in every household.

The small scale on his face makes people subconsciously avoid it, for fear that they will be infected through the screen. But before the crowd huddled in the air-conditioned room could react, Rui had already spoken.

He informed the public of Dr. Carter's conclusion concisely and concisely, and announced that from now on, the entire New Century City and its citizens would be taken over by humans.

A lot of insulting remarks suddenly emerged on social networks. Not everyone could immediately accept the change in class stance. They cursed angrily, saying that this was a human conspiracy, calling for the consul Yan Bing to appear, and more voices said Shouting:

"Why should I believe you? Even if I die, I don't want to be infected with the scale disease and become a monster!"

Humans aren't the only ones protesting.

In the Commercial Building, many scale people stood up. They were all the ones who escaped from the experimental base.

"Why should we save them!" someone roared, "Garbage that cannot adapt to the environment and evolve should be eliminated!"

"Have you forgotten all the hatred and hurt? The scale man was tortured like this!"

"It's all humans' fault! Bah! They deserve it!"

Thanks to Rui's fighting power, this group of angry scale people is currently only at the stage of verbal explosions.

The group of "old people" who had been in exile with Rui for many years were all quiet at this time, with either sad or sad expressions.

Pan Hong looked on and wanted to rush forward, but Pan Qing held him back.

She shook her head and whispered: "Brother, your current position is not convenient..."

Pan Hong stopped in shock, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Scaled and scaleless, there is a huge chasm at this time.

"Those who are not of my race must have different hearts" - this sentence came to the minds of many viewers, and they couldn't help but feel complicated emotions about it.

A harsh microphone whistle drowned out the angry shouts of the scale people.

Rui expressionlessly took the microphone back and said:

"I understand your anger."

He opened his clothes with one hand and showed his arm to others again. The number "1-0007" was so prominent on the big screen behind him that the clamoring people fell silent.

The number starting with 1 indicates that Rui was the first group of people to enter the laboratory.

"I was born the year the acid rain ended, and I grew up in an orphanage as long as I can remember."

Rui's words stunned Pan Hong for a moment. The year when the acid rain ended...that means he is only twenty years old this year?

"Not long after, I became the first child in the orphanage." Rui calmly recounted, "The dean sister took me everywhere to seek treatment, almost spending all her own savings. Later, Yan Bing Claiming that there was a cure, she sent me to the experimental base and encouraged me with tears that I would get better."

There was a group of low-volume discussions under the podium.

"A few years later, when I escaped and returned to the orphanage, I found that the other children had become more or less scale-human. The kind-hearted director was arrested and sentenced to 'failure to comply with the epidemic prevention regulations.' Felon, died in prison.”

Rui's voice didn't tremble, but it was flatter, like a robot.

"Everyone here is a scale person, and they are all of the same race." He continued, "But scale people were also humans before they evolved. Scale people also have human relatives and human friends."

“I know there are people like me who have been looked at with hatred because they are human beings. They have suffered bullying, discrimination, and even inhuman treatment in the base. Their hearts are filled with hatred.

"I know there are people like me who have been cared for, protected, loved, or even 'passed' by humans."

Rui's tone gradually became heavier.

There was silence under the podium. Amber, who was wearing a hoodie, clenched her fists and thought of Hemerocallis. They were childhood sweethearts, but he suddenly became a human being. However, even so, Hemerocallis and her family had been secretly giving him supplies, helping him, and supporting him.

Rui was right, those scale people who clamored to give up all human beings were completely blinded by hatred.

...Although Amber can also understand that if he was detained in the experimental base and had his scales removed repeatedly like a pig, he would also wish to die with those people.

Rui's voice continued.

"This is a critical moment for the survival of all races. So what if we can withstand the heat? What if one day the temperature is so high that our scales will melt?

"The top priority is to retain talents. Those who can do things and are capable, whether they are scales or humans, must have their uses.

"Ten thousand steps back...how do you know that the humans you left behind today will not evolve into scale humans tomorrow?"

Rui's eyes slowly scanned the rioting groups.

"If you hate those people who ignored you and bullied you, then hate openly and don't attack the whole group. If you want revenge and want to vent your anger, then go to them instead of messing up the overall situation here. "

He paused and said: "Now, I am recruiting volunteers. I will go out to pick up people starting tomorrow. I will bring those humans who are willing to believe in us and seek refuge with us here. I will pool resources and equipment to prepare for the great migration and look for relative temperature relief. ’s new oasis.”

"If you want to come, both scaly and human beings can come; if you don't want to come, you don't have to come, but if you cause trouble, I won't let you go."

Rui calmly tied the knot.

After he finished speaking, he put down the microphone, walked off the stage, and told Abo and Aliu to distribute food to everyone in a normal voice. The business building was silent at this time, so Rui's words were still clear and could be heard from far away.

Pan Hong met his eyes and raised his hand. Because his sister told him not to speak, Pan Hong gestured randomly to express his intention of "wanting to help too", which looked a bit funny.

Rui smiled slightly and nodded.

…

The next day, the scale people walked out of the building and stepped onto the street.

This was a novel and ironic experience. Now they were walking under the sun, while those humans had to stay at home.

Some scale people felt uncomfortable, but more scale people felt refreshed.

Pan Qing provided a map of the whole city and the locations where people were still there. Rui directed Shu Zhen, Amber and other scale people to move forward in groups.

The search and rescue process was not smooth. Some humans refused to open the door, and some humans cursed and threw things mercilessly. If the leader of the team had not listened to Rui's words and stopped the angry scale people, I am afraid that several bloody incidents would have occurred.

A few days later, most of the city's population was concentrated in the city center. Pan Qing took two deep breaths repeatedly before reporting the total number of people. There were 4,000 to 5,000 scale people and more than 10,000 humans, a total of less than 20,000.

Those who died in the base, died in the high temperature, and now hid at home and refused to come out, totaling two-thirds of the total population.

The camera moved, and there was a commotion in the hall.

Lu Qiang, who appeared at the beginning of the film, knelt in front of his girlfriend with tears streaming down his face.

"Baby, baby!" he cried, "Give me some blood! Please give me some blood! I want to evolve too! I want to be your kind too!"

The girl's body was mostly covered with scales. She looked at Lu Qiang, her lips stammering, unable to speak for a long time, and finally just cried and shook her head.

Thinking back to the past, the person who stepped back three meters away and shouted at her, "Don't cry! Body fluids are contagious!" was also Lu Qiang.

The contrast between the before and after is sharp, and the strong sense of irony makes the audience feel sick.

Lu Qiang in the picture is kowtowed. There are really many people like him. Those humans who once abused and humiliated the scales and avoided "infectious diseases" are now desperately trying to be submissive and flattering, praying that they can "give" themselves some blood.

Arrogant and shrill laughter came.

"Didn't you look down on me at first?!" A scale man stomped the floor hard in front of a mother and daughter who were kneeling on the ground. "When I was starving to death, your door was closed so tightly. You are really my good neighbors!!"

"I'm sorry, sorry, it's all our fault. But please..."

The mother knelt on the ground, "Don't worry about me, please save Xiaoyao, her health is not good to begin with. If she can't become a scale man, one day she will..."

"Hahahahahaha! Wow, when I fainted from hunger in front of your door, I never thought that there would be such a day!"

The scale man stomped his feet even harder, laughing, and one hand touched the belt, "Hahahaha, there is no blood, but I can give you something else. Do you want it?"

Bang! Boom!

His words stopped abruptly, and the whole person fell forward, with his head stepped on by Rui.

Fuck, well done!

The audience in the theater, whose blood pressure rose, breathed a sigh of relief both physically and mentally.

Gu Wensong shook his head. He remembered that the scale man was very brave when fighting with Yan Bing and others. The former warrior became like this after he had class status... Yuan Xiao, you are worthy of being you. You have thoroughly dissected human nature.

But then again, is this kind of plot really suitable for children to watch?

Gu Wensong was thinking about it, and he met Qiao Yuansu's eyes. The latter pouted his mouth to the back, and Gu Wensong turned his head to look.

There was a family sitting behind them. The young little carrot heads looked at Rui with shining eyes and looked at the scale man with disgust.

"It's so annoying. He actually wants to spit!" said the little girl.

Gu Wensong... Gu Wensong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Yes, the children can't understand it at all.

Compared with the plot of "Embarrassment", Yuan Xiao has been much more tactful. In this section, those who judge with "colored" glasses are, in a sense, the same as the wretched scale man just now.

This small detail passed quickly, and Rui and Pan Hong either controlled or comforted the people in the hall, barely maintaining the situation.

What's even more ironic is that when Rui and others refuted the rumor that "the body fluids of scale people are not contagious", there were still humans who collapsed and cried:

"You just don't want us to live!"

Rui's face turned black, and A Liu almost rushed over. Pan Hong, who was still wearing a powered exoskeleton, angrily punched the ground and made a big hole, shouting:

"Are you kidding me!

"You guys, think about it - how anxious you are to become scale people now, how anxious scale people were to be cured at the beginning!"

The straightforward and cruel words changed the expressions of Rui and Pan Qing. Pan Hong took off his powered exoskeleton and stood in front of the rioting crowd, shouting more anxiously than any of them:

"Some things can't be done! Hasn't reality told you!

"Dr. Carter is still working hard to study the evolutionary direction of scale people. All of you sitting here have not been thrown at home. Isn't it obvious whether you have been abandoned or not!

"Calm down, please! Disasters don't wait for anyone. We have to cheer up and find a way to solve the problem no matter what!"

The scene cuts to a side view, and Pan Hong's figure facing the crowd is lonely, but not thin, and still tall.

"I know my sister was very painful when she became a scale person! Now that my sister knows that I am still a human and may be burned by the sun outside at any time, she is also in pain!

"Obviously everyone is in pain!"

He took two deep breaths before softening his tone: "So, working together to survive is what we should do most now. And--"

Pan Hong staggered forward two steps, lowered his head, supported his knees with his hands, and breathed deeply.

Rui sighed imperceptibly and walked forward.

"Don't shout, talk less, and keep your strength."

He stood side by side with Pan Hong and said to the crowd, "Whether you are human or scale person, if you want to follow the main force, stay honestly, otherwise leave. I'm not as kind as the guy next to me."

"Hey..." Pan Hong raised his head weakly.

"Apo. "Rui turned his head and called out.

Apo, who was called by him, scratched the scales on the back of his head in disapproval, and finally came over carrying an instrument that was half a person tall and put the thing down.

"The only energy source in New Century City is the scales of the scaled people."

A faint flame ignited on Rui's body, melting the two sleeves of the black leather jacket, revealing his arms covered with hard scales.

"The spring track has been evaporated, and there are few resources left in the city. The more excited and talkative you are, the more energy and cold air you consume.

"As for our determination to survive with everyone."

Rui stopped talking, and a shiny dagger appeared in his hand.

"Hey...!" Pan Hong didn't have time to stop him. With a flash of cold light, Rui cut off his left arm neatly.

A piece of scale with blood stuck on it fell off.

Rui grabbed it.

He retracted the dagger, reached out and wiped the wound, and then used his palm stained with blood to smear Pan Hong's face, and smeared him into a red-faced cat in the latter's surprised cry of "Mmmmm?!".

So everyone saw that even if the blood of the strongest scale man was smeared on his face, Pan Hong still did not change at all.

The rumor was broken.

Then a ball of fire rose from Rui's left hand holding the scale, and the flame burned into a bright pink and purple, and the scale gradually softened.

He let go of his hand and threw the scale into the gap above the instrument. Suddenly, the air conditioner increased its frequency and ran, and the cool wind blew across everyone's face.

Even the scale man who could withstand the high temperature couldn't help but squint his eyes comfortably. Being able to endure is one thing, but comfort is of course another.

"As for our determination to survive with everyone."

Rui repeated what he had just said, holding the wound on his left arm that was still bleeding with his right hand, "Now, you all have seen it."
