Volume III, Chapter 26, All Is Normal, October 2117

On the night of October 15, in the motel, in the room of Sima Aya and Yang Yiyi, the TV was playing the news, but both of them were busy with their own things and did not watch the news, but just listened with their ears.

Yang Yiyi is reading a book and learning the basic operation manual of the stand-in robot, so that he can quickly get started and operate the stand-in robot in the near future; Sima Aya wiping the pistol and checking the ammunition.

"Large-scale demilitarized population gathering at the nuclear facility in Ayabian County, Northern Hanguo, will cause humanitarian problems in the attack on the nuclear facility......" was broadcast on television.

Sima Aya and Yang Yiyi both put down what they were doing and returned their eyes to the TV. They saw large crowds gathered in the nuclear facility, in open spaces, next to windowless buildings, and on the walls of buildings, spray-painted with danger warning signs in Northern Han.

In the crowd gathered, there were old people, some old people with children in their arms, and some people seemed to be a family of three, all of whom were not wearing military uniforms, but plain, ordinary people's clothes, and their eyes also revealed a plain gaze. I can't see their ideals and beliefs, but I can seem to see their few words, and their rough skin is written with the tempering of the years.

The small eyes and the iconic appearance of single eyelids indicate that they are from the Northern Khans, but it is clear that they do not belong to the middle and upper classes of this society.

The yellow-skinned children, whose eyes seem to be forever misty, cannot see the future, nor can they see the distance, and only when the food appears in front of them, will their eyes flash with a glimmer of brilliance.

"They...... Treat the people as ...... Hostage? Yang Yi looked at Sima Ayandao, unable to believe what he saw in front of him, "They, why did they stay there, why didn't they run?"

In the video from the television footage, no soldiers were seen, and no one appeared to be holding a gun to coerce them to stay within the confines of the facility.

"I guess......" Sima Aya thought, "it's the food that keeps them." ”

"Food?" Yang Yiyi felt a little unacceptable, "Is it just food?" In her eyes, she didn't believe that people would be willing to become hostages just for food.

"Of course, there is another way." Sima Aya said, "For example, first hold their families hostage. Unlike Yang Yiyi, Sima Aya understands the commonality of human society better. Whether it is a democratic society or an authoritarian society, a person can always be held hostage. Your hunger, your family, your civil rights, your reputation...... Even if you have nothing and nothing to hang onto, if you still have hope in your heart...... They will hold you hostage to your hopes...... If your heart is dead and hopeless, they will be generous, inspire and give you a hope, and then, with that hope, hold you hostage.

Sima Aya told Yang Yiyi that it was no longer a matter of a day or two for the dictatorship of the Northern Han Kingdom to use its family to hold the people hostage and the whole world with nuclear bombs. Of course, it is clear that the video being shown on TV was also released by the Korean Central News Agency, the news agency of the Northern Hankook.

"Tens of thousands of patriotic people voluntarily went to Yongbyon County to ...... in order to express to the world their determination to defend the country's scientific and technological development to the death." This is the "fact" declared by the KCNA Agency, and the people's actions are voluntary.

"Anyway, I don't believe they did it voluntarily." Yang Yi said with a small mouth.

"He probably wasn't even explicitly told why he was going there." Sima Aya continued.

It is clear that if country A strikes at the nuclear facilities in North Khan at this time, then the current president of country A and his country will have to bear humanitarian condemnation and compensation. Even if the current government of North Han is overthrown, the next government will inevitably demand compensation from country A. Just like what happened in Iraq more than 100 years ago.

(What particle shield, force field shield, in the end, still no human shield works.) Sima Aya thought with a sigh.

Sunrise and sunset, two days passed quickly, and on October 17, Sima Aya finally waited for the results of the physical examination, which were emailed to Sima Aya's mobile phone by the First State Hospital of Angel City.

When she opened the email, Sima Aya did not hesitate at all, believing that there would be no problem with the results of the medical examination. How could there be a problem? If I had been infected with H7N9, I would have had symptoms of drowsiness for so many days. For such a long time, Sima Aya and Yang Yiyi have not experienced drowsiness, not only have they not been drowsy, but they often have insomnia. Sima Aya can't wait to return to China as soon as possible to get a good night's sleep and fully experience the happiness of "sleepiness".

Sima Aya, 31 years old, female, H7N9 virus surface pit, negative...... The CSF con index was 0.2......," the email read. The signature at the end of the medical examination results is Angel City No. 1 State Hospital, with a round official seal.

Two physical examination reports were sent in the email, one for Sima Aya and the other for Yang Yiyi. The two read the physical examination report, and the specific blood analysis items corresponding to the test values were within the normal range, and the doctor's order at the end of the report also stated that neither of them was infected with H7N9.

Sima Aya handed the phone to Yang Yiyi and asked her to take a look at it and confirm it. As soon as Yang Yi took the phone, her right eyelid suddenly jumped up inexplicably, and several fragments of memories flashed in her mind...... That morning at the consulate in Angel City, she found her phone on the floor and the shower faucet in the bathroom hadn't turned off...... At a certain time, the bracelet seemed to light up red...... However, in Yang Yiyi, in other memories and dreams, she also saw the bracelet flashing red, and earlier, on the training video at Angel City Airport, she also saw the bracelet flashing red...... These memories are vague, blurry more unreal than dreams.

"Sister Aya." She looked at her phone in a daze, her consciousness falling into flashing memories, "I, I remembered a dream......"

"What dream?" Sima Aya asked, she was doing something else in her hands, not paying attention to Yang Yiyi's distracted expression.

"I don't remember exactly when," Yang Yiyi said to Sima Aya, "but my bracelet seems to have lit up red." ”

Sima Aya paused for a moment on what she was doing, and glanced up at Yang Yiyi: "Sister Yi, you don't have to worry, there should be no problem." Sima Aya pointed to her phone with her eyes, "The email on your phone is the blood test result, which is much more accurate than the bracelet." ”

Yang Yi was still distracted, trying to recall something that had happened in the past.

"You little girl," Sima Aya saw Yang Yiyi's face hesitating, "It shouldn't be a repentance." Sima Aya has actually been worried that Yang Yi will regret it and not return to China with him. However, in her impression, Yang Yiyi is not a capricious person.

"If you regret it," Sima Aya slowly walked to Yang Yiyi's side, and patted her plump buttocks very suddenly, "If you regret it, I will give you an injection in the ass, and then, like a human trafficker, will carry you back to China." ”

"Sister Aya, it's really annoying, I'm here to tease people again." Yang Yiyi hurriedly dodged Sima Aya's naughty hand.

Morality, oaths, promises, responsibilities, or war ...... The weight of all this has been on their shoulders for too long, and any touch will make people relax and leave these burdens behind for the time being.

After all, after returning to China, Sima Aya and Yang Yiyi no longer have to be afraid. All the heavy baggage will be lost to the stand-in robot, and there will be no more risking your life.

On the afternoon of receiving the physical examination report, Sima Aya quickly contacted her superiors in China and obtained permission to return to China, and then she immediately booked a ticket for the third day.

At night, in the gentle evening breeze like a song, the two leaned on each other and fell asleep sweetly.
