Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Crowd of Protesters
Time flies, and the lights in Shelter 953 are still bright.
However, at this moment, the atmosphere in the shelter was a little wrong, and there was not a single person in the huge residential area!
The people who worked in the various positions were also gone, and no one was mopping the floor back and forth again with mops and buckets, and the buckets and mops were lying on the ground alone, looking so desolate.
"We want to protest! Let Chen Bei come out! A cry suddenly resounded throughout the shelter.
At this moment, in a large square at the edge of the shelter, dense figures were huddled together and noisy.
Roughly calculated, in addition to those who have emigrated to the estate, almost all the nearly 1,000 residents of the entire shelter are here.
Because the crowd was so dense, there was a feeling of heat in the air.
A sultry atmosphere filled the air, the cries of children, the noisy conversations, the cacophony of protests, all mixed together made the whole square extremely chaotic.
On the other hand, around the crowd, about 30 soldiers with guns were observing solemnly, always ready to guard against possible crises and turmoil.
There was a serious look on the face of each soldier, this kind of situation that no one had ever seen, and they didn't know how to deal with this kind of thing, so they had to just watch it blankly.
As for the eviction? This is impossible, after all, being in the same shelter, everyone is inextricably linked, and armed conflict is definitely not a good option.
Fortunately, so far, the emotions of the residents in the square are still quite restrained, and they have not behaved aggressively for the time being.
At this moment, at the entrance of the square, a figure walked over.
Seeing Liang Guozhan's arrival, all the soldiers present breathed a sigh of relief, and the current situation really gave them a little headache.
"What are these people doing here?" Liang Guozhan asked the soldiers beside him.
"They're protesting." The soldier heard Liang Guozhan's question and replied truthfully.
"Protest?" Liang Guozhan frowned, and just as he wanted to ask what they were protesting for, there was a roar from the crowd.
"We need a reasonable explanation!"
"That's right! Let Chen Bei come out. ”
"Why are we doing this? We demand to have our own dignity! ”
Looking at the angry faces and listening to the protests, although Liang Guozhan felt a little puzzled, he immediately realized that the current situation was about to get out of control!
"What are they protesting for?" Liang Guozhan lowered his voice and asked the soldier beside him.
A hint of hesitation flashed across the soldier's face, and after a little contemplation, he replied, "They say that Director Chen has deprived them of the rights they should have. ”
"That's it?" Liang Guozhan was a little confused, didn't he just want to do more work? There's a big deal about this.
"And more," the soldier gritted his teeth and simply uttered all the protest language he had just heard.
"They said that Director Chen used his authority to put forward a request to completely close the door in exchange for all kinds of favorable conditions for her, and the dissolution of the residents' council authority some time ago was also to sell all the current residents, so as to realize her ulterior secret."
After understanding what happened, Liang Guozhan couldn't help but swallow his saliva subconsciously.
On the one hand, they are shocked by the intensity of the news revealed by the rumors, and on the other hand, they are wary of whether there is a conspiracy that the rumors have exploded so quickly.
Seeing that Liang Guozhan didn't speak for a long time, the soldier hesitated for a moment and said, "Captain? ”
Liang Guozhan looked sideways and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Are they telling the truth? Did the director really do that? ”
Liang Guozhan was stunned, he saw doubts, confusion, and distrust of Chen Bei in the eyes of his subordinates!
Liang Guozhan suddenly shuddered involuntarily, and he said in a low voice: "Don't listen to rumors, how could the director do such a thing?" You guys look at it first, don't let these people riot, I'm going to report to the director now. ”
Hurriedly explaining the task to the soldiers beside him, Liang Guozhan turned around and prepared to go to Chen Bei, he knew that things seemed to be really big.
Let's not talk about the conspiracy or whatever, if we really let it go on like this, the entire shelter is probably going to be finished!
Someone leaked the news, and the details of Chen Bei's and Xu Yuan's negotiations were completely made public.
The shelter was in chaos in an instant, and everyone didn't dare to sleep in the virtual mirror cabin anymore, and no one wanted to be taken away and used as a slave the moment they opened their eyes.
Everyone was very frightened in their hearts, everyone gathered together, the old people, children and women were surrounded by them, and the old people and young men stood on the periphery with serious expressions and roared wildly.
They want to protest!
They want to defend their rights!
They want their own dignity and freedom!
However, this chaotic scene was quickly controlled by Chen Bei.
She sent all the soldiers in the shelter to the square, and shouted for everyone to return to their posts immediately.
However, on the way to the forced dispersal, I don't know who shouted such a sentence.
"She's a dictator! She is trying to use everyone's life and death to maintain her evil rule! ”
Then, the voice was echoed by almost everyone.
"That's right! The future of the shelter should be decided by the entire population of the shelter themselves! She has no right to control us! We need freedom! ”
"Let me tell you, I've already been in contact with the people of Huayuan Company, and they said they would hire us and pay us wages, but she was afraid that if all of us left, she would become the commander of the light pole, so she lied and coaxed us!"
As soon as these words came out, the crowd exploded instantly!
Things have developed to this point, and it is obvious that the contradiction can no longer be resolved by explanation.
The situation is out of control.
And Chen Bei's handling method was also very domineering, she directly ordered the soldiers to use *** and forcibly drove away the protesting residents in the square.
For those protesters who dared to resist, Chen Bei directly ordered the soldiers to arrest them and put them in a detention center.
At the same time, Chen Bei also ordered to restrict everyone's travel, and she knew that this news must not reach Xu Yuan's ears.
Tian Yuanyuan and several others were even "admonished" by her in their residence, and before the situation was dealt with, she would not let Tian Yuanyuan spread the news.
Chen Bei knew in her heart that behind this matter, there was definitely the existence of Xu Yuan, or that such a situation was supervised by Xu Yuan!
However, at this moment, she seems to have no choice but to be anxious.
