Chapter 325: Uneasy
Zhao Xiaozi and Abin almost entered the house with their front and back feet, and Zhao Xiaozi mentioned the matter of meeting the couple in passing, and talked about the arrangements for tomorrow's revival meeting.
"I only said that we would gather in Times Square at 7 a.m., how many people could gather, and the route of the parade, these are not clear. The whereabouts of the mysterious figure who was said to appear were also very secretive, and I inquired around, but I didn't find out anything. ”
Ah Bin frowned and tapped the table with his knobly fingers rhythmically, and only spoke after a while: "They have arranged their actions so tightly, I'm afraid the plan is not small, tomorrow no matter what, you must protect your own safety first." ”
"Is it so serious?" Zhao Xiaozi's handsome eyebrows also raised.
"Don't be afraid, what about me......" Xu realized that his attitude made Zhao Xiaozi worried, Ah Bin eased his face, and hugged her with a smile: "I'm just afraid that if you get excited, you will forget your own safety." ”
Abin is naturally worried about this reason, although Zhao Xiaozi has undergone three years of training in the United States, the importance of human life in her bones has not been erased, if there is an emergency tomorrow, maybe she will save people regardless of her own safety.
"Why don't I go with you tomorrow?" Abin was not at ease after all.
Abin also has his own tasks, so naturally he can't follow Zhao Xiaozi to participate in the parade, he can only explain over and over again how she protects herself, and she must put her own safety first at all times.
The two of them didn't sleep well at night, even if they knew that they had to keep their spirits up to deal with tomorrow's tough battle, they still couldn't stop tossing and turning.
Abin simply went to Zhao Xiaozi's bed and hugged her.
Zhao Xiaozi was a little unaccustomed at first, but after getting used to it, she fell asleep for the first time, and when she woke up, the sky was already dark, and Abin didn't know where she went.
She was shocked, and hurriedly looked at the time, fortunately, it was only six o'clock. Abin has already left first, he is responsible for cooperating with Zhao Xiaozi's actions today, and everything must be arranged in advance.
There is breakfast on the table, which can be eaten while walking, and the note next to it repeatedly emphasizes that Zhao Xiaozi puts his life safety first.
Zhao Xiaozi's heart was quite warm, and she felt that the unknown vicious battle she would face for a while was not so terrifying.
……
6:40 a.m., Times Square.
Before the start of the event, everyone's mobile phones were put away, Zhao Xiaozi was prepared, and did not panic, and helped to appease many people, which attracted Sister Hua to look at her frequently, full of praise.
The demonstration was only said to be an event, but it was not clear what the specific activity was. Ms. Zhao has serious doubts that many people simply do not know that the event was essentially a demonstration against the government.
Seeing that it was almost seven o'clock, and nearly a dozen people had gathered in the square, Zhao Xiaozi squatted down by tying her shoelaces and briefly reported the current situation to the buttons on her chest.
Zhao Xiaozi's main task is to confirm and report the location of the mysterious person and assist the National Security Bureau in the arrest activities, so she stood up after only a few words and continued to listen to the tasks arranged by Sister Hua.
The only two pieces of equipment on Zhao Xiaozi's body are the buttons on her chest - in fact, it is a hidden camera that takes into account the function of short-distance calls.
The other is the stud on the ear, which is an extremely discreet communicator, which is naturally used to receive tasks.
These two things were applied for by Abin, and when the National Security Bureau took them out, it was very painful, and when the custodian handed them to Zhao Xiaozi, he repeatedly emphasized that he should be careful and not break them. Listen to that meaning and take it back when the time comes.
Zhao Xiaozi pretended not to understand, and secretly discussed with Abin how to keep it secret, and he took such a big risk, how could he have to receive some compensation.
As soon as seven o'clock arrived, Sister Hua beckoned people to start walking forward, without shouting, without holding up signs or anything, and she couldn't see that it was a parade at all, but it was a bit of a violent group.
(Runaway group: A way for uncles and aunts to exercise, generally after dinner, wear uniform clothing, arrange a formation, and lead many team members to move quickly on the street at a speed between normal walking and race walking.) Generally, a few people will bring a small speaker with a bright rhythm of square dance songs. )
"Sister Hua, aren't we waiting any longer? There should be no one who hasn't arrived!" It turned out to be seven o'clock, according to the convention, generally speaking, the activities that start at seven o'clock must wait until half past seven. Besides, even half of the Revival members have arrived!
"Don't wait, I've already asked Xiao Li to inform them, and they can catch up with us on the road. Sister Hua didn't seem to have time to explain too much to Zhao Xiaozi, like a hard-working little bee busy before and after, running around the team.
Soon, Zhao Xiaozi knew where the rest of the "colleagues" went, and saw people at different intersections slowly gathering, and the "rampant group" of only about 100 people unconsciously increased in number.
Looking at the team that did not see the beginning and the end, Zhao Xiaozi felt a little uneasy in her heart, feeling that such a scale was too unexpected.
She pretended to be excited and walked up to Sister Hua: "I really didn't expect that we have so many compatriots, when will that one arrive? Let him see such a scene, he must feel that the revival of the tribute stall is promising!"
Sister Hua was also very excited: "Yes, these are our compatriots!" but did not answer her question.
Zhao Xiaozi didn't dare to ask too closely, for fear of arousing suspicion, and said a few words to Sister Hua before focusing on observing the long procession.
The sudden appearance of such a long line on the street naturally caused quite a stir, and from time to time there were police and chengguan shuttling among them, and it didn't take long for some armed police officers to come.
"What are you doing here?" someone asked.
"Get the gift, follow the walk, and you can get the gift when you reach the number of steps!" Zhao Xiaozi looked at the voice, not impressed at all, and since he answered so, he definitely didn't belong to the member, not even the "disciple" of the member, at most the disciple of the disciple, or the disciple's relatives and friends.
"Walk for the rise of China and gather for the rejuvenation of the party!" someone also replied. Zhao Xiaozi seemed to have a little impression of her, at least at the headquarters of the Revival Society, she had seen this person.
"We have an official record! Don't stop us from moving forward! Those who stop us are all with ulterior motives!" seemed to be Aunt Wang's voice.
Zhao Xiaozi walked a few steps briskly and caught up with Sister Hua at the front of the team, only to see her smile kindly, and explained to a leader of the armed police with some apologies: "I didn't expect the masses to be so enthusiastic, we did have a record in the government, but I didn't expect it to exceed the scale." Our upper echelons are urgently dredging, and I will also persuade and restrain our masses to try not to affect the normal life of the citizens. ”
The armed policeman communicated with the police for a while, and the team here slowly accumulated because of the stop of Sister Hua, and some of them had begun to move forward.
Rao is those armed policemen are all strong, and they are surrounded by such a large group of uncles and aunts who can't be beaten or scolded, and they have to be careful to dissuade them, and they are also a little frightened in their hearts.
The police over there had already called, frowning, looking at the black pressure The uncle and aunt finally nodded to the armed police.
The crowd was let go, as if they had won a great victory, and the noise along the way became louder and louder, and everyone talked loudly and laughed as they walked through the blocks.
Zhao Xiaozi was a little surprised, there was an official record? She looked at Sister Hua half amazed and half curious, only to see her holding a megaphone, and proudly said to the people behind the team:
"Our rally has been officially recorded, we are acting legally, and we are doing all this for the sake of the people! We are all the forerunners of the times! Go ahead, there are more people waiting for us to wake up!"
Zhao Xiaozi looked at the uncles and aunts behind him in disbelief, and didn't understand where their fanaticism comparable to that of young people came from.
It's not scientific!
After walking a little further, someone pushed a lot of veterans in military uniforms with medals on them to join the team. They were placed at the front of the line, surrounded by powerful men who acted as protectors.
Zhao Xiaozi lagged behind to the second echelon, and the uneasiness in her heart was even worse, there was a commotion everywhere in her ears, and she regretted that she didn't turn up the voice of the earring communicator a little louder.
I don't know what the situation is on Abin's side.
Zhao Xiaozi tried hard to move forward, trying to get close to the group of veteran-like figures. But he was ruthlessly pushed back by those protectors.
Could it be that there is something wrong with that group of veterans? Zhao Xiaozi observed carefully and found that most of those veterans had tears in the corners of their eyes, probably shocked by the dark team behind them.
Looking at those who push the veterans, there are people of different ages, there are children and grandchildren, they also look proud.
Zhao Xiaozi was a little puzzled, were these veterans really veterans? Did they all come voluntarily? Did they know what kind of rally it was before they came? Do they know who the person who held this rally was?
After walking and stopping for almost an hour, everyone stopped at Tianlun Square, where there was a stage that had been set up a long time ago. Everyone is used to it, there are often group events held here, and before the parade arrives, no one expected that today's event is completely different from the usual ones.
There are quite a lot of people who maintain order, and Zhao Xiaozi guessed that they were students of the university and had been trained for a long time.
Their division of labor is very clear, four people are responsible for one area, respectively distribute water, bread, cushions, and the rest of the control.
With such considerate and thoughtful logistics, these tired uncles and aunts quickly sat down, and even if there were pickers, they were quickly pressed down by the inspectors.
Zhao Xiaozi finally found an opportunity and wanted to sneak out to ask Abin about the situation. I didn't expect Sister Hua to discover her intentions in such a busy situation: "Don't leave yet, stabilize the scene!"
Zhao Xiaozi didn't dare to forcibly leave anymore, so she had to patiently appease more and more people, panicking, always feeling that something was going to happen.
