Chapter 45: The Wall-Facing Eight

Just after listening to the Secretary-General's account of the wall-facing plan and the wall-facing person, Luo Ji, who was sitting next to Li Yang, grabbed Li Yang's hand and said, "This, this is the reason why you want us to come?" Wall-facing? This, I didn't do it, I did it, Li Yang, do you know, it's too lonely, I can't do it! ”

Looking at the current state of Luo Ji's goods, Li Yang felt that this goods were too wasteful, so Li Yang took Luo Ji's hand down and said, "Teacher Luo, you can't escape, or we have no other choice."

I've heard on the plane that you became a wall-facing person because you were targeted by the Trisolaran, so say, you or me, we have no choice, once you walk out the door now, you will die, do you believe it? Li Yang looked at Luo Ji at this time with a little deep meaning and smiled.

……

"Now, in the name of the United Nations, I will announce the four Wall-Facing Ones finally selected by the United Nations Planetary Defense Council......"

Li Yang knew what was going to happen, so Li Yang's thoughts didn't fluctuate much, and Luo Ji, who had just been depressed, seemed to be deeply attracted by the Secretary-General's speech, and like all the participants, he waited with bated breath for the announcement of the list, wondering what kind of person would undertake this incredible mission, and for a while, he completely left his fate behind, because compared to this historic moment, no matter what happened, he was insignificant.

"The First Wall-Facer: Frederick Taylor."

As soon as the Secretary-General's words fell, Taylor stood up from the first row of seats, walked calmly to the podium, and faced the room with a blank face, no applause, everyone just focused on the first person facing the wall in silence.

Taylor was lanky and wore wide-rimmed glasses, an image that had long been familiar to the world. He is the newly stepped down Minister of Defense of Eagle Sauce, and he is a person who has had a profound impact on Eagle Sauce's national strategy.

Taylor was not only a strategic theorist, but also a giant of action, earning widespread praise for his courage and foresight in dealing with many major crises. Therefore, whether in terms of depth of thought or leadership ability, Taylor is well-deserved as a wall-facer.

"Second Wall-Facer: Manuel Rediaz."

When this brown-skinned, stout, and stubborn-eyed South American stepped onto the podium, Luo Ji looked very surprised, it was very unusual for this person to appear at the International Joint Conference now. Rediaz is the current president of Venezuela who leads his country and puts Taylor's theory of the rise of a small state into perfect practice.

"The Third Wall-Facer: Bill Hearns."

A mild-mannered Englishman stepped up to the podium, and in contrast to Taylor's indifference and Ray Diaz's stubbornness, he appeared polite and greeted the venue with great grace.

During his career as a scientist, he was the only scientist in history to be nominated for a Nobel Prize in two different disciplines for the same discovery. The second phase of Hines' life was as a politician, having served as President of the European Union for two and a half years.

At this time, in the last row of seats in the venue, Keiko Yamasugi, the world's authority on brain science, was looking at her husband on the rostrum with affection.

There was silence in the room, and everyone was waiting for what they thought to be the last of the wall-facers to be revealed.

The first three facers, Taylor, Rediaz and Hines, are the result of a tripartite political balance and compromise between the United States, the Third World, and Europe, with the last one being particularly striking. Watch as Say shifts his gaze to the contents of the folder again.

Luo Ji's gaze swept over the four rows of seats, scanning the backs of the first row, the first three wall-facing people all walked up to the rostrum from there, from the back, he couldn't tell if there were any people in his mind, but the fourth wall-facing person must be sitting there.

Say slowly raised her right hand, and Luo Ji's gaze followed the hand, noticing that it was not pointing to the first row.

Say's hand pointed at him.

"The Fourth Wall-Facing One: Luo Ji."

Luo Ji was still a little unacceptable after hearing his name, but because Li Yang revealed the news to him, he didn't make much movement, and then Luo Ji walked up to the rostrum under the gaze of the people at the venue in the body armor under Li Yang's reminder.

"Everyone, later, it's not over yet, there are a total of five people who face the wall in this wall facing plan, not the original four."

"The Fifth Wall-Facing One: Li Yang."

Finally heard his own voice, Li Yang's previous hanging heart finally let go, after all, if he can become a wall-facing person, he will have a greater chance to change the situation in the future.

Calmly got up from his seat, then tidied up the body armor he was wearing a little, and then walked to the rostrum with his head held high.

Next is by Say on the stage to introduce the five wall-facing people, standing on the rostrum Li Yang faced the hundreds of pairs of eyes gathered on the stage of the five wall-facing people, understood that these people represented more than six billion people in the blue star, at this moment he couldn't help but straighten his waist.

Luo Ji on the side seemed to have some stage fright and was not in a state, and after Say's introduction, the five wall-facing people walked down the rostrum under the leadership of the staff and sat in the center of the first row together.

Next, the President of the Planetary Defense Council of the International Joint Congress and the Secretary General of the International Joint Congress Say, together announced the official launch of the Wall Facing Project.

At this moment, everyone in the audience stood up and applauded together, that is, for the five wall-facing people, and also for the confused and bumpy future of mankind.

……

The meeting was over, many people left, only a few people were still in the venue, at this time Luo Ji still didn't seem to be able to accept the change of his identity, Li Yang just watched Luo Ji's next confused operation, Li Yang didn't stop it, because this is the process that Luo Ji must go through.

Luo Ji and Say said that they wanted to quit, and took the initiative to walk out of the venue, without asking anyone to follow, and left by themselves.

"What's going on with him?" Dashi, who had just walked past Luo Ji, came to Li Yang's side and asked.

"Well, maybe it's part of his plan. Not to mention, Dashi will make arrangements, I am ready to return to China and prepare the next plan. Li Yang didn't tell Da Shi what Luo Ji thought, although he knew. Li Yang only asked to return to China and was ready to set off from the International Joint Conference.

And Luo Ji, who walked out of the venue, ushered in another fateful turning point for him......
