Running, running frantically, running faster and faster, the streets on both sides were only afterimages in Little Ian's eyes.

A ten-year-old kid, he ran as hard as he could. The direction of the run is a house with improvised rainwater receivers made of mineral water bottles on the roof.

The house is old and dilapidated, just like Ian's house.

The wooden door was locked, and he banged on it.

"Aunt Mia, Lina, open the door. Hurry up and open the door!" Ian slammed the wooden door, making a clattering sound.

Mia, the hostess, quickly opened the wooden door and dragged him in.

"Ian, how did you get out. It's dangerous outside now, and you're going home. No, wait, I'll send you back when it's safe in a while. Mia looked at Ian, a little uneasy.

Mia looked worried, and she was messed up again, and she was messed up again.

Just like before, her husband Drew said that he wanted to participate in a big thing, so that he and his daughter Lina could live a good life. He took the old shotgun he had and went out in the night.

That night Cerro de Pasco began to riot. Husband Drew came back early in the morning with a shotgun and some residual blood on his face.

"We overthrew the Ors group. There will be no more heavy metal effluents in the future. We can live better days in the future. ”

Mia remembers the look of joy on her husband's face.

For the sake of the wife, for the sake of the children. The originally honest husband followed Liu Fuquan and others with a shotgun to fight against the Ors Group.

But before the good life promised by her husband began, the Ors group came back. Her husband was hanged in the Miners' Square as a rebel, and Mia still does not dare to collect the body, because it is guarded by mercenaries from the Ors group. They were meant to use the corpses to intimidate the inhabitants of Cerro de Pasco. Let them obediently be the tools for digging ore.

Mia didn't dare to cry, not even when she saw her husband's corpse. Because she was afraid that she would collapse, what should her youngest daughter Lina do in that case?

Today Sero de Pasco is messed up again, and she is at a loss and doesn't know what to do. Now sitting at home and holding her daughter Lina, she hugged her daughter Lina as much as she could, covering her ears with her hands.

Lina, who is more than six years old, is at a loss, because of lead poisoning, she is not only shorter than the average six-year-old girl, but also has much slower mental development. It's six years old, but the intelligence only stays at about four years old.

Ian carefully crouched in front of Lina, he touched Lina's head, and then looked up at Aunt Mia.

"Aunt Mia, you won't have to be catching rain in the future. From now on, there will be no rainwater again. Ian said firmly in a childish voice, "The guy outside helped us clean up the heavy metals in the water, so we don't have to worry about lead poisoning in the future." Lina will be able to drink clean water in the future. ”

Mia touched Ian's forehead, "Silly boy." She smiled and didn't speak. Who in this world can help the people here? No, only the capitalists who covet the mineral deposits here.

They exploit everything here, and they treat human life like a mustard.

"Really, Aunt Mia, go out and see. I saw that the man was cleaning up the heavy metals in our water, in the grass. Ian pointed out the door, and he wanted Mia to take Lina out to see.

But Mia shook her head: "It's still dangerous outside. ”

"It's not dangerous!" Ian couldn't pull Mia, but he forced the door open: "Look, Auntie, look! The man on the lake, he pulled out all the heavy metals in the lake!"

Ian staggered to a figure on the lake in the center of Cerro de Pasco, wearing a white suit and spreading his hands, the heavy metal in the lake water being continuously extracted.

For too many years, the Ors Group has been draining sewage here, and many heavy metals have been diverted to the groundwater through the water flow, polluting the entire water resources of Cerro de Pasco.

There is no clean water and no more land left in Serro de Pasco. Half of the city's more than 70,000 people have been poisoned with lead blood.

After Ian informs Mia, he runs towards the other friends' homes. There's Leston, there's Howl.

He finally came to Huo Yi's house, Huo Yi was twelve years old, and he was originally a very cheerful teenager.

His family was poorer than Ian's, and like most of the children here, Hoy had to drink tap water from the water company.

The so-called tap water is the groundwater that is pumped directly, and the groundwater system here has long been polluted by the sewage discharged by the Ors Group.

There was a strong smell of rust in the water.

Hoy grew up drinking this kind of water, and he played well with Ian since he was a child. The two swing together, play seesaw, and play football together when they are older.

THE CHILDREN HERE DON'T HAVE MOBILE PHONES, COMPUTERS, AND IPADS. They don't know what LOL is called, and they don't know what BUPG is. They don't care which idol has any news, and they don't care which Oba releases a new song.

Their greatest pleasure is to be able to play in their free time, and of course, it would be perfect if they could play without physical pain.

Because of excessive blood lead, these children have problems with bone development, and when they reach a certain age, they will have various painful symptoms.

Hoy's blood lead levels are already much higher than the limit, and he hasn't played football with Ian in a long time. Because he was in so much pain, his whole body was aching, and his internal organs were aching.

He could only stay in bed, he couldn't afford to go to the hospital because he didn't have money. Originally, Liu Fuquan had voluntary medical treatment at the back of the hotel, and there was a batch of drugs that could alleviate blood lead poisoning.

However, after the Ors group quelled the rebellion, all these were seized and the drugs were confiscated.

The originally cheerful boy could only lie on the bed and babble and scream.

When Ian came to Hoy's house, the faces of Hoy's family were not very good. Because Hoy's cry was already faint.

Without treatment, the various lesions caused by his blood lead poisoning were already very serious. Internal bleeding had begun to appear in the internal organs, and since the morning, the corners of Huo Yi's mouth and nose have begun to bleed uncontrollably.

Ian ran to Hoy's bed: "Hoy, cheer up." Did you know that the people of the Ors Group outside were driven away? There will be no more sewage discharged here. The man in the white suit is cleaning up the heavy metal here. In the future, we will have clean water to drink. ”

"If you drink clean water, your body will be fine!"

Ian's words forced Huo Yi, who was already in pain and didn't want to open his eyes, to look at him, and he asked weakly, 'Really?'

"Really!" Ian nodded vigorously.

"That's great, you're the smartest of us. If I could have clean water to drink in the future, would my body be better? Can we mention football again?" Hoy seemed to be much better spirited, and he was able to speak more energetically.

Ian felt that his words had given him strength, and that he truly believed that drinking clean water would defeat disease. But behind Ian, the adults of the Hoy family had sad faces.

Ian, who didn't know why, said happily: "Yes, we can play football together." This time, I'll come to the doorman, and you'll come to the front. You've always wanted to play as a striker, haven't you? Hurry up and get better, let's go play together!"

"yes, I really want to play. As long as it doesn't hurt back. Huo Yi only had this small wish: "If I can get better sooner, I still have to go to school." I hope Mrs. Hawkins doesn't scold me, even though I'm stupid and can't remember what she's teaching. But I still love school. ”

"Then get better quickly, and you can go to school when you get well. Ian shook Hoy's hand.

"Well, but I'm so tired right now. I want to sleep for a while. Huo Yi's eyelids gradually became heavy, and his hands began to weaken.

And the grown-ups behind Ian started crying. Ian turned his head, and he looked at the adults, "He's just asleep, right?"

"Yes, he just fell asleep. Hoy's mother nodded tearfully.

Ian had seen too many of these scenes, he was young, but he was smart, and he understood something in an instant. Tears poured out unstoppable.

Just when he wanted to shake Huo Yi awake and let him not sleep, Huo Yi's body suddenly floated. Then flew out the window.

Both Ian and Hoy's family followed Hoy's body out of the house.

In a small square in the middle of the street, countless children like Huo Yi who were suffering from blood lead floated here.

And the man in the white suit floated higher.

His hands were outstretched, and the heavy metal lead in the children's bodies was rapidly detaching from their bodies and merging into the large heavy metal balls behind the man.

It's an ability.

Some people were already beginning to understand what was going on, and some adults fell to their knees and began to cry.

Lina, Ian's other friend, was also floating in mid-air, and her mother followed her own child.

By the time I passed the central lake, the terrible stench of the lake had dissipated. The river was no longer the color of devil's blood, and Mia turned on a tap on the side of the road and took a sip.

There was no peculiar smell, only the familiar, sweet sweetness that I hadn't drunk in decades.

She found a mineral water bottle and filled it with a bottle of water. Mia, who found her husband's body in the miners' square, and who had not cried since her husband's death, cried like a helpless child this time.

With tears and snot running down her face, she knelt in front of her husband's corpse with clear water: "Look, Drew! Our water is clean! Our water is finally clean! You see, what you want has finally come true. ”

Mia stood up and yelled at the hundreds of corpses in the miners' square who had participated in the previous rebellion: "Everyone, your dream has come true......! Achieved ......"

When a beam of light shines into hell on earth, it brings hope to hell.

Man can live in hell only because he has not seen heaven.
