Chapter 83: Human Tragedy

"Jumping off a building?" In front of the shattered huge floor-to-ceiling window, Yang Xiaohai repeated it meaninglessly. Who has nothing to do with jumping off the building to play? But Wang Xiaona didn't answer the conversation, but instead changed the conversation and fell into memory:

"The 'special supply system' is a response measure carried out by Manager Yan to the black-clothed and non-regular staff in extraordinary times. Each person in black can only receive one supply per day. Informal workers, on the other hand, receive only one third of the black clothing.

The first three days were fine, and everyone knew the current situation, so they showed the greatest understanding and support. But after three days of running water, someone stepped forward. They connected with each other and protested to Manager Yan together. However, we were forced down by the Jia team.

The black-clothed bombardment of non-regular staff was too embarrassing and unacceptable. But first, there are commands and constraints, and second, the food is indeed not enough. Therefore, we can only grit our teeth and ask the informal staff to be patient and patient.

It's noisy every day and the pressure is barely maintained for a week. The fire escape to the roof never stopped. But at that time, we couldn't pay attention to it. Because the number of informal workers who were several times that of us saw that the protest was ineffective, they finally began to attack Manager Yan's container.

In desperation, Team Jia took the lead in shooting...... "Wang Xiaona can't go on." She choked and took a step closer to the glassless window.

"Be careful!" Yang Xiaohai was afraid that she would make a mistake, so after the verbal reminder, she also took a step forward to deal with the accidents that might happen.

"I'm not that vulnerable. If I went to extremes, why did I live until now? Wang Xiaona turned around and faced Yang Xiaohai.

"I wanted the wind to blow away the smell of me, that's all." "You know!" Yang Xiaohai hid behind the window where the wind could not blow, avoiding the ravages of the cold wind.

Although he hadn't seen her in person, he could somewhat understand her feelings. As black-clad people whose main responsibilities are to enforce the law, maintain public safety, protect lives and protect property, they have to do things that they dislike against their will when they have orders, orders, and needs.

But is that really okay? Yang Xiaohai couldn't figure it out: "Everyone agrees with that bullshit 'hierarchical supply system'?" ”

"How could it be. If others don't say it, there is not a single colleague I have come into contact with who is not disgusted. It is unrealistic to give up food unconditionally; But at least we should share the joys and sorrows. It's just that Manager Yan doesn't think so. After the crackdown on informal staff, Manager Yan held a meeting to emphasize:

'Let go of the love of children and leave a useful body!' 'Lay your heart down and wait for the call.' When the time comes, we can fight for it; It's not that when it's time to use it, there are no soldiers available. Because of this, our ideas that we had agreed on also diverged. Some colleagues believe that orders should be carried out firmly and undoubtedly; Others believe that we are committed to preserving life at all times.

So, about two months after Good Friday, Li Quanyi and I made a decision that we regretted for the rest of our lives: jump through the window into the 16th floor along the rope. We intend to rely on our numerical superiority, plus two guns, and risk our lives to open the way down. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Xiaona meant something and paused obviously. Yang Xiaohai knew that she was responding to the previous question. "We only think about the safety of others, but we are blind to the dangers around us.

That night, as soon as we jumped out of the window, we were spotted by people on the 16th floor. This building, after all, is the black clothes building in Huabai City, it has its own power supply and water supply system, so under the light, we were stunned by what we saw. As soon as we landed, we saw a bunch of "infected" gathered around a corpse, tearing themselves apart.

We immediately pulled out our guns. Just as we were about to pull the trigger on our target, they stopped eating and all of them retreated. Ha, the guy who eats the same kind of raw food, looks like an infected person, is actually a healthy person. That's what we're trying to do. "Cannibalism, under extremely harsh circumstances, still happens.

Yang Xiaohai, who has abundant food, still thinks that all the "survivors" are fighting against fate and fighting the virus together; But he doesn't admit that killing among the same kind is no worse than that of the "infected".

"This ...... This ......" Yang Xiaohai was speechless.

"Surprised? Hehe, can those guys who eat the same kind raw still be considered human? They saw that there were only two of us, and although they were armed with guns and dressed in black, they all hugged us after a short retreat. The blame is that there is so little shooting training in normal times, so that the 9mm pistol misses a few. In addition, there are concerns, and some of them are just injuries. Thinking about it now, I should have been more decisive at that time, maybe Brother Li wouldn't..."

Speaking of this, Wang Xiaona choked again, she covered her mouth, and didn't say anything for a long time. The autumn wind blew through the broken windows, blowing the clothes of the two of them like a hunting mountain. Knowing that there was only one "infected", Yang Xiaohai still felt that the hall was extraordinarily gloomy.

To a woman dressed in black, bowing her head and crying, Yang Xiaohai panicked. He has always been open to women who shed tears, and this time was no exception. I wanted to say something comforting, but after searching my intestines and scraping my stomach, I held back a sentence: "The past is over, and the festival mourns and changes!" ”

Wang Xiaona cried for a while, rubbed her cheeks with her hands, and regained her composure again. She said in a slightly nasal voice: "I'm fine, thank you for your concern." Before you came, I had already held these words in my heart, and tonight was the first time I recalled the past, and I couldn't control it, and I lost my temper! ”

Yang Xiaohai said stupidly: "It's okay, Sister Wang, you just treat me as a tree hole, and complain as much as you want!" ”

Hearing this, Wang Xiaona burst into tears and laughed, and waved her hand again and again: "Sister Wang? Mr. Yang, it's not so comforting. I'm only twenty-six, and I'm called sister by a thirty or forty-year-old person, and I'm not from the Tianjin branch, so I'm not used to it. ”

"I just had my birthday last month, I'm 21 years old, can't I call you sister?" Yang Xiaohai said seriously.

"Ha ......" A string of hearty laughter came, breaking the silence of the autumn night again.

"Mr. Yang, Brother Yang, you succeeded, I'm not sad at all, really."

Now, it was Yang Xiaohai's turn to be depressed.

"To cut a long story short, Brother Li covered so that I could climb back to the top of the building the same way. Our movements alarmed everyone. The people who climbed up along Brother Li's rope were driven back again. Team Jia ordered to cut the two ropes, so that the connection between the upstairs and downstairs was severed. Also because of our unauthorized actions, Manager Yan lost his temper.

Still, it's nothing compared to what happened next. "Don't say it..."Yang Xiaohai didn't want to listen. What happens to a big living man in the hands of a bunch of man-eating beasts? In particular, Li Quanyi's appearance has already shown the result. "No, I have to say! Why don't you let me say it? Xu has been suppressed for a long time, and Wang Xiaona's mood has become unstable again.

Next, we heard a faint voice, which was Brother Li's shout. At that time, I begged the Yan Department and the Jia team, but not only did they not care, but they also strictly forbade others to help. You would never imagine how helpless I was back then. ”

"This ......" Yang Xiaohai really didn't know what to say. No one was informed, no back-up, and no sustainable plan. Acting rashly and putting themselves in danger, their actions are child's play. Who is to blame for ending up like this?

But what is the reason for the recklessness? Isn't it to help civilians whose lives are threatened? No matter how flawed their behavior is, the starting point is always good! Pros are not, and disagreements are not; Under the contradiction between the two, Yang Xiaohai could only keep silent.

"I wanted to save the lamb from the tiger's mouth, but I didn't think about it, but I was caught in the wolves. After this toss between the two of us, everyone's minds are unified! The voice of speaking for ordinary employees is gone. Even the few remaining non-regular staff members have been targeted.

They unanimously believe that people who are not included in the 'document' have lost their humanity and the meaning of existence. Why don't they want to think about it, who wants to destroy human nature and be a beast willingly? Isn't it all about living? If you can put yourself in their shoes, who is smarter than whom? Who is nobler than whom?

A few days later, during the day, I heard the sound of a broken window. People who still like to move run to the side of the building and look down, and naturally I am no exception. Then I saw a man jumping out of the window with a broken glass ballast.

Retribution, this is definitely retribution! I didn't understand why, until the next two days, people broke out of the windows. After a few more times, I can see clearly that those guys who jumped off the building are simply thoughtless 'infected'. And the later you jump off the building, the less flesh you have. Some simply crawl and fall.

At that time, I guessed that they might be cannibalism, and that the people who were eaten came back to life, became 'infected' and attacked the people who ate them. There are some who are unwilling to live and choose to end themselves. The more timid ones became monsters, wandering around the 16th floor non-stop. No matter how bold they were, they all fell out of the window in the end. It's easy to judge, just look downstairs after dawn.

Two months ago, I stumbled upon the way down – an abandoned fire escape clogged with debris. I've spent countless nights getting through it, and I've found him tied up here. Seeing my lover become like this, can you understand how I felt at that time?

Since then, I have lost confidence in Manager Yan, no trust in Team Jia, and no trust in the comrades around me. I'm afraid, if the rescue is delayed, how much better will we be than those civilians after a complete lack of food? So after that day, I saved my food as a supply for the future on the road. ”

"You want to leave?"

"Yes, how many days and nights have I been awakened by nightmares; How many times have I dreamed that I have become someone else's food. Enough days like this, really enough is enough. I've been looking for a way to get out of here, but unfortunately, until you fall from the sky, I'm still at a loss. ”
