Five hours ago.

Today is the last walk along the street in this area. At around 2 p.m., Yi Xiaodian had just finished lunch at a fast-food chain on the street, following the heat wave of sunlight reflected on the ground, and he walked close to the intersection of the shadows and sunlight of the buildings on the street, continuing the finishing stages of the work at hand.

The night before, at noon, Zixin contacted Xiaodian through social software, and the two continued to talk about some topics about science and technology before, and agreed to drink coffee together at about 15:30 this afternoon, and continue to chat again.

Before he knew it, he was in the vicinity of a government office building, just two blocks away from the shop where they were drinking coffee. In front of the small square in front of the gate, a number of people gathered, shouting and holding banners and signs. Obviously, this formation does not seem like a good thing, but for Xiaodian's work, it is a good material that should not be missed, and he can extract a lot of valuable information from it, he looked at the time, it was still relatively early, and there was more time to get closer to the crowd of onlookers to take a look.

"Eh, this old man, what's going on here, what are these people doing?" Xiaodian inquired about a middle-aged male passer-by on the side of the road.

"Do you see the words written on the sign on the left-hand side, these people are groups that oppose the religion and expansion of data, they seem to be very opposed and angry about the invasion of privacy by data, and the superstition of data."

"It seems that there have been similar groups making such voices all along."

"Yes, sometimes I see some sporadic news reports on the news from time to time."

"What about these people on the right? It doesn't look like it's a group. ”

"Those people on the right, you're right, they are indeed not a group of people, and they are some people who are-for-tat to support the popularization of data and intelligence."

"Two waves of people demonstrating together? It's still a bit fresh. ”

"Isn't it, you see, there are a bunch of them on this side, each using a loudspeaker to tell their own requests, and they are competing in the air, which feels like the scene of a reality TV show."

Yi Xiaodian was chatting with the middle-aged uncle he had just met on the side of the road, while recording all this in front of him.

"Are you a journalist?"

"Journalists? What do you say about me, ah, no, no, I'm just curious, to record it, I always like to record some interesting things that happen around me. ”

"Oh, yes, I used to like to use my mobile phone to take pictures of something or something, that is, a fun fun, but now I'm getting older, and I feel more and more bored, so I don't do it anymore, and occasionally go on social software to see what others are shooting, and it feels good."

"It's a shame......."

Just when they were chatting word by word, they suddenly found that the crowd on the left and right began to increase slowly, and the tension between the groups gradually strengthened, and the crowd of onlookers gradually began to surround the surrounding places.

"You're aiding and abetting the abuse!"

"Data is becoming an emerging scientific religion that is ruining our society!"

"Savage! Raw! I don't understand science! Science and technology are for human beings and help us live a better life, and the fear and hatred of science and technology will ruin our society! ”

"Do you think it's better to go back to the primitive life of farming?!"

"We are not against science and technology, technology is not good or bad, but looks at the people behind it. What we oppose is the wanton abuse and wanton infringement of people's freedoms. These people who are hidden behind the technology must be regulated, blindly pursuing efficiency, cold data and algorithms will only make people lose their humanity and temperature, and become slaves of machines and data! ”

"The development of science and technology requires some fault tolerance, to allow trial and error within a certain range, this kind of attempt is great, and it is the only way for technological progress to evolve. The commercialization and application of enterprises is the best way to make these evolutions a reality, as for some ethical issues involved in some businesses, they can be discussed and negotiated, and this issue has to be led by the regulatory authorities to intervene, and it has nothing to do with us and technology! ”

The crowd got closer and closer, the voices of fierce arguments became stronger and stronger, and the people on both sides of the camp supported each other with their representatives who "went to war" to speak, just like on the battlefield in ancient times, the two warring armies each sent their generals to fight heads-up and duel in front of the battle, while the soldiers behind them beat drums and shouted for it.

"Oh my God, they're just talking about chickens and ducks, they are actually talking about different aspects of the same thing, which is simply not broadcasting on the same channel, and then it becomes self-talking!" Yi Xiaodian stood aside and whispered to himself.

"Isn't that, these two groups of people have become popular on the Internet recently, and the verbal war on social networks has been fierce. I turned the door to catch the high-speed rail today, and came to see their physical and offline debate this time. A young man on the side stood aside and spoke. In these years, the material life is abundant, and there are all kinds of idlers, and it is really rare for this kind of person to come from afar to see others quarrel.

At noon, Zixin finished her work and came out of a government office, which happened to be next to the place where the crowd was debating. She stood at the door and briefly asked the security guard on duty at the door about the situation, and quickly used her professional ability to analyze it in her mind, she thought that with the gathering of the crowd, this relatively stable state would not last long, and it would soon turn into a riot, and she quickly left the place. As soon as she reached the corner of the street, she remembered that she was going to meet with Xiao Dian in the coffee shop soon, and that place was only two blocks away from here, too close, if he was nearby, he would definitely not miss the opportunity to record this incident.

"Oops, I need to contact him right away!" Wu Zixin hurriedly walked back, dialing Yi Xiaodian's mobile phone as she walked.

"Hey, Xiaodian, where are you now?"

"Ah, it's Purple Core, I'm near where we had coffee, I'm a little noisy......"

"Are you next to those demonstrators, get out of that place quickly, it's too dangerous!"

"Huh? What the? I didn't hear me very clearly, you say it again! ”

Yi Xiaodian moved to the side of the crowd behind him as he spoke, and the policemen who maintained order and vigilance on the side began to disperse the crowd away, and the policemen who arrived with reinforcements also began to join in the action to disperse the crowd.

"Your place is too dangerous, get out of there!"

"I'm walking outside, it's really tense here, where are you?"

"I'm here across the street from the intersection, and there's a hot pot restaurant next to me with a big sign...... Eh, I see you, I see me, right, right, I'm waving at you......" She had just said half of her sentence, and before she could finish speaking, she felt a gust of wind blow by her side, and something jumped out. As soon as I reacted, I saw a gray off-road vehicle running a red light, running wildly, rushing straight towards the gathered crowd, overturning the warning signs set up by the police, knocking down and crushing many people in a row, and flicking its tail while moving forward, trying to knock down more people. Looking at it like that, it seems that he has no intention of giving up, and is ready to turn around and continue to charge.

The panicked crowd began to flee in all directions, and three police cars on the side drove up to force it to stop, and when the car was about to hit pedestrians again, the front of an off-road police car hit the side door of the cab of the gray car, and pushed it directly against the stone gate of a building. This was not over yet, when the police who rushed to rescue the injured and arrest the perpetrators arrived halfway, the gray off-road vehicle suddenly exploded, and the huge waves overturned the people around them, and the afternoon Zixin, who witnessed all this from a distance, was also frightened to the ground by the sound and the huge waves.

"OMG! Arrive... What the hell is going on!? Dawn ...... Dawn, wings?! Zixin, who sat on the ground for half a minute, stood up from the ground with the support of passers-by, and only then came back to her senses with a little trembling, just now in just a few tens of seconds, she saw the car crashing into the crowd, Yixiao was at the edge of the crowd, and the intruding vehicle first hit the area where he was.

With her eyes wide open, she staggered towards the agency building she had just come out of, and almost fell to the ground, she couldn't take care of her so much, so she took off the high heels on her feet and threw them aside, and she didn't care about her image, running on the road with her bare feet in stockings.

"Hurry up and get the emergency emergency rescue vehicle in your yard out and save people! What are you doing in a daze, hurry!! The security personnel at the gate sentry were shocked by Wu Zixin's actions, and they didn't react for a while, and then immediately called the people next to them and ran quickly to the rescue vehicle.

They rushed to the scene of the incident, Zixin immediately recognized Yi Xiaodian who was crawling on the side of the road, he struggled and convulsed on the ground in pain, the car had not stopped steadily, she rushed out at once, and then the two security personnel who arrived also followed with stretchers.

"Quick, carry him to the car first, go to the second hospital of the city, he is very important to us!"

In the car, a security guard pressed a respirator and fixed the stretcher for Yixiao in accordance with the emergency first aid procedures taught in the previous training class. Zixin sat on the side and looked at the bloody dawn, and anxiously dialed the phone numbers of the city's second hospital and the medical school directly under the Western Lighthouse.

Director Xiao ...... We're in big trouble, we need help, and lives are at stake!! ”
