Chapter 151: Results (1st Update)
It was still quiet in the huge venue.
People looked at each other and exchanged heads. After a while, the discussion grew louder.
Ren Jinghua reminded everyone through the microphone, "If you have any ideas, you can stand up and say it." β
Chen Yuan squinted at Ren Jinghua. Obviously, the management wants to use this opportunity to punish the Dragon Boat Festival to play a role in killing chickens and monkeys, so that other survivors will not dare to touch those things that are not allowed. Now Ren Jinghua has defined the behavior of the Dragon Boat Festival as affecting the safety of all survivors, and if he refutes it directly, it will only pale in comparison.
Chen Yuan had to think of a better way. Touching his chin, he decided to wait and see what the rest of the room would have to say.
It didn't take long for the first person to stand up and speak out in the midst of the discussion, a middle-aged man with a little hair loss. The people in the hall saw him stand up, and the discussion that was already going on slowly stopped at this moment.
The middle-aged man raised his voice as much as possible, and he said: "I think this matter is indeed the wrong thing done by the person who adopted stray cats and dogs." But when it comes to what to do with him, I don't think it's too important. A simple punishment, locked up and introspected, I think it's okay. β
As soon as he sat down, the chatter erupted. Soon, another young man stood up. Compared with the previous person, he was much more excited, "I don't think that this time I just need to punish it simply." We don't know exactly what the man who adopted stray dogs and cats for. At best, it may be pure charity, but what if it is not good? Maybe he is a man with bad intentions, maybe he just wants to use these zombie-infected animals to murder us. β
After saying this in one breath, the young man gasped a few times and continued: "That guard who was bitten into a zombie is a living example, if there is no one in our shelter to adopt stray cats and dogs, then that guard will not die at all. The culprit of all this is the man who adopted stray cats and dogs. So, I think in order to make the other survivors realize how harmful it is to us to adopt an animal without permission, I want to put him to death. β
There was a silent silence in the hall again, and the onlookers seemed to be a little dulled by the execution in the mouth of the person just now. After a long pause, all kinds of chattering returned to the same state.
Chen Yuan carefully observed the expressions on the faces of everyone in the nearby crowd. It can be seen that there are indeed people who have hatred, but there are not many such people.
"Isn't it too serious to just be executed like this?"
"I think it's a bit exaggerated. β
"What's the exaggeration, that guy raised those stray animals, what if he deliberately raised them to turn them into zombies and attack us?"
"Well, if we let him live, and then secretly raise animals at that time, then we will all be in danger again? Even if he takes 10,000 steps back and says that he didn't mean to, then he has already indirectly posed a threat to our lives. β
The two different attitudes gradually became apparent in the discussion.
For this fear in everyone's hearts, Chen Yuan is understandable. But if you want to use such a reason to kill the Dragon Boat Festival, it is obviously not enough.
Shen Jingyuan and Tong Xia were already panicking, they looked at Chen Yuan and said, "What should I do? But Brother Wu is obviously not what they say, how can they say that......"
Chen Yuan shook the hands of the two of them and motioned for them to relax, "Don't worry, I will definitely not let Brother Wu be executed like this." β
The chatter continued.
At this time, Xu Meixuan stood up from the crowd. She nodded politely and said in a very sinister voice, "I think it would be too cruel for us to execute that person for this matter." We're all human beings, and I feel like we should have some human touch. It's impossible for everyone to be born without doing something wrong in their lifetime, but there must be a chance to forgive. β
A little crying gradually appeared in her voice, "Indeed, that man's cat was infected by zombies. But I don't think that person wants to do that either. He must have been more sad and guilty than we were when he found out about it. I think we should understand each other, in fact, we are not wrong, what is really wrong is those terrible zombies!"
Tears fell, and she raised her decibels little by little, "Only those terrible zombies are the ones we should really kill." So, I hope you can give that person a chance. Let's compare our hearts to our hearts and empathize with each other, and I'm sure you will be able to understand. β
In these words, she said that the pear blossoms bring rain. While many men are fascinated by her, they naturally agree with her point of view.
"Xuanxuan is always so kind. β
"yes, even if that guy is like this, she still has to speak for him. β
"Since Xuanxuan has said so, then so be it, it's not a big deal to give that guy another chance. β
Shen Jingyuan looked at Xu Meixuan with joy, because of these words, the haze in her heart was also swept away.
"Xuanxuan is such a good girl. β
She sighed quietly.
The reaction of the masses was indeed a good effect, but Tong Xia still felt that something was wrong with Xu Meixuan. But she didn't say anything, just sat quietly in place and waited for the final result.
Chen Yuanhu looked at Xu Meixuan suspiciously, this woman, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?
The cries of the masses slowly tilted like Xu Meixuan.
"I support Miss Xu Meixuan's statement!"
"I support it too!"
"Yes, yes!"
Noticing the situation in the audience, Ren Jinghua showed a look of relief, he lightly clicked the microphone, signaling everyone to be quiet, "I believe that everyone should have heard the voice of democracy, and next, I will add two sentences." First of all, no matter what points you have just made, I hope you can all understand that you are not wrong. There is a raison d'Γͺtre for any position, but we can only choose one of them. β
He looked around at the crowd and continued, "I would also like to believe that the man who raised the small animal had no ill intentions. It's just that although he didn't mean it, it was because of him that he had a follow-up impact. So my idea is to neutralize your opinions. The execution must be too exaggerated, so let's lock it up for a while. It's just a warning that others in the Vault won't follow suit. β
He controlled the speed and tone of his voice, "However, although we can take this person lightly, we must dispose of the stray cats and dogs he adopted." They are already familiar with what we are going to do here, and if they are infected, they will most likely pose a threat to us. β
As he spoke, he beckoned to the side of the stage, and soon two young men in guard uniforms walked up. One of them was holding a cat and the other was holding a dog.
was still happy about the light hair of the Dragon Boat Festival, but I saw that the two kittens and puppies that I had personally fed many times were brought to the stage. Shen Jingyuan covered her mouth, her eyes staring straight at the cat and dog in the hands of the two people. My heart hurts, and tears are already flowing out uncontrollably.
Ren Jinghua's words have made it very clear that there is indeed a risk on these two small animals, and this kind of risk is something that everyone in the shelter cannot afford.
In the long run, if they were really infected, then even Shen Jingyuan and the others would be in danger. Looking at the two little guys on the stage who didn't know anything about their fate, Chen Yuan could only sigh weakly. When he first saw the Dragon Boat Festival, he didn't realize many problems. Now that I think about it, it is already very difficult for people to live, and it is indeed a bit wishful thinking to raise small animals at this time.
Ren Jinghua's voice came from the stage, "I hope everyone can understand each other, we are only doing this for the safety of everyone, if it is not a last resort, we don't want to do this." β
He turned to look at the two little animals and sighed, "Let's do it." β
The two guards nodded, and then one person and one stick blew the heads of the two small animals.
Blood slowly spread along the stage in all directions.
Shen Jingyuan lay on Chen Yuan's shoulder and cried bitterly, "They are all dead, they are all dead......"
Tong Xia pillowed Chen Yuan's shoulder on the other side, she didn't say anything, just quietly looked at the two thin corpses that had been motionless, and let the tears in the corners of her eyes continue to flow out.
Chen Yuan held the hands of the two of them tightly, he didn't know how to comfort them now, he had known that there would be such a day, he wouldn't have taken them there in the first place.
"Don't be sad, leave this world, maybe they will live happier. β
"Will it ......"
"Well, it will. β
On the other side not far away, Xu Meixuan was also sobbing softly, and the people around her came to comfort her when they saw her so sad. No one noticed that the corners of her mouth, hidden in the shadows, were slightly raised for a moment.
After the two guards on the stage disposed of the carcass of the small animal, Ren Jinghua said: "Now that the problem has been solved, I will finally emphasize one more thing to everyone." There's no way to know for sure if any infected animals will come to the shelter and attack us. So these days, I hope you don't leave Building 1 at night. We will strengthen vigilance until the safety hazard is completely eliminated and everyone can resume normal activities, and we hope that everyone will understand. β
After the meeting, Chen Yuan sent Shen Jingyuan and Tong Xia back to their respective rooms.
"Don't be too upset, you all have a good rest. β
"Good ......"
Not thinking of a more appropriate word to comfort them, the two girls hugged him and obediently returned to their bunks.
After settling the two of them, Chen Yuan left the fourth floor to look for the two guards who had caught the small animals. He had a question that he had to confirm with them.
