what's in the depths

Tong Si followed the middle-aged man all the way to the bathroom, and he stood at the door of the shabby temporary bathroom, looking at his watch and counting the time. As soon as the middle-aged man came out, he followed immediately.

"It's useless to follow me." The man suddenly turned around and stared straight at Tong Si.

Tong Si looked into his eyes with inexplicable fear in his heart.

"Compassion above justice is actually a mistake, and I don't allow any dead ends in my life." The man pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, smiled slightly, and showed his white teeth.

Fear spread in Tong Si's heart, he backed up slowly, then turned around and ran towards the camp.

Along the lake, through the long sandy ground, as soon as I ran to the gate of the camp, I heard a burst of sharp crying and cursing from inside.

Even, a few policemen in protective suits were pushed out, and then a few more people squeezed out from inside. They seemed unwilling to reconcile, and threw themselves into the crowd and squeezed in with all their might.

"Stop! Everyone stop!" Several police officers yelled with loudspeakers and squeezed into the crowd.

Due to the large number of citizens, the camp area is divided into hundreds of large tents, each of which can accommodate nearly 1000 people, so once a riot occurs, the posture cannot be underestimated.

"This is District C3. Citizens are fighting and rioting. Please request the headquarters..." One of the policemen just took out the walkie-talkie, and in the middle of speaking, he was knocked aside by the citizens who came from behind.

Zhu Yuhan, who was on duty in the camp next door, heard the movement and rushed out to check. He saw the scene was in chaos, with his legs and feet flying around. He took out a folding baton from his waist, swung it, and ran towards the group of people.

In this chaotic crowd, Tong Si couldn't find his sister at all.

During the pushing and shoving, there was only a scream, and a woman with messy hair suddenly pulled out a long-haired girl from the crowd, threw her to the ground, and hit her hard with the bag in her hand girl.

The girl was dying, and the clothes on her body went to nowhere. There was only one bra left, and a few metal buckles on the back of the bra had been broken. She was covered in blood, and the source of the blood was unknown. She was lying on the ground, The messy hair hangs down slowly, revealing a dirty little face.

"You madman!" cried the woman who threw her out, crying, "Why did you come here when you were infected! You want to kill us, right!"

The voice was high-pitched and piercing.

"Kill her, kill her! Don't let her continue to harm others!" Someone started booing.

Everyone, including those in other tents, immediately followed the first person to make a fuss and yelled to kill the girl.

Tong Si finally squeezed in, looked at the girl lying on the ground, his heart contracted violently instantly, and the blood all over his body flowed back to his brain.

A middle-aged man next to him picked up a big stone from the ground, weighed it, hid it behind him, and slowly walked towards the girl who was already angry, and then raised the stone high——

"Don't..." The girl looked at him desperately, tears washing away the mottled blood on her face.

"Please...don't..." The only sound left was breath.

The moment the uncle was about to smash the stone down, a sudden coolness in his temple forced him to withdraw his hand suddenly.

He turned his head, facing the black muzzle of the gun.

The one pointing a gun at him was a policeman in protective clothing with an unusually indifferent expression.

"Put it down." Zhu Yuhan pointed to the ground with his chin, motioning for the man to throw the stone aside.

The uncle looked at Zhu Yuhan's hand and pressed it on the trigger. As long as the man exerted a little force, his hand speed would not be as fast as the bullet after all.

The uncle swallowed nervously, with an awkward smile on his face, then he walked to the side shaking his legs, and obediently put the stone aside, but even so, the gun barrel kept moving with his steps.

"This bad policeman—cooperating with these infected people, they don't care about our lives—" An old lady sat on the ground when she saw this, patted her legs and began to scold and cry, pointing her rough fingers at Zhu Yuhan, " He wants to drag us to be buried with him—”

Zhu Yuhan gritted his teeth tightly, and shifted his gaze to the girl lying on the ground.

The corners of her mouth were blue and purple, and her body was covered with large and small scars, some were pinched, some were kicked, and there were traumas caused by unknown blunt instruments, little by little, shocking.

Tong Si slowly knelt down beside the girl, took off his coat and covered the girl, then picked her up by the waist, and hugged her tightly.

He reached out and brushed the hair from the girl's forehead, and said softly: "It's okay, it's okay, let's go home."

Whether human nature is inherently good or inherently evil has always been a controversial and enduring topic.

But now, in front of everyone, the answer to this question is no longer important.

In the face of the threat of death, everyone unreservedly showed the ugliest and darkest side of their hearts, naked, even uncontrollable by reason, they are really afraid, these days Many people died, and every day some people were taken out of this cramped tent and never came back.

Even from a distance, you can smell the choking snuff from the garbage disposal station after burning the corpses.

Unexpectedly, it smelled like rot.

Everyone's heart is imprisoned in this small tent, with high temperature and saturated fermentation, little by little, corruption and stench.

Zhu Yuhan leaned close to Tongsi, pointed a gun at the mob who was eager to try, and whispered to Tongsi: "You take your sister out of here first, and I will deal with the aftermath."

"Thank you." Tong Si hugged his sister tightly and stepped back little by little.

"Why can they leave! Those of us who are not infected will be imprisoned here like livestock!" A female student shouted.

When the other people heard this, they felt that this was the case, and they immediately seconded the proposal. The momentum was huge, and it seemed to be irreversible.

"Now the research team is stepping up research on the source of anti-infection. After waiting for the results, if it is determined that you are not infected carriers, you will naturally be let out."

Zhu Yuhan was extremely calm when he said this, as if he wasn't the one who almost collapsed when he heard that the area was quarantined.

"Fuck your mother! After so many days, so many people can't do anything about this source of infection? I think you all want to abandon your pawns to save the car!"

As the man said, he rushed towards Zhu Yuhan, and casually took out the Swiss Army Knife in his pocket, like a wild beast, throwing away the last bit of humanity left behind.

Zhu Yuhan pointed the gun at his feet and pulled the trigger.

There was a loud noise, and sand and stones flew randomly.

The man was also frightened and stood there dumbfounded, not daring to move.

But the red dot of the laser suddenly appeared in Zhu Yuhan's eyes, flickering along with his movements.

He stared blankly, and saw a row of policemen in riot uniform standing behind the crowd, holding submachine guns, and the muzzle-mounted red dot sight was facing him.

This is nothing, after all, he shot himself to bluff people.

The important thing is that among the gang of riot police, the leader is Fu Huaiyu.

He looked at himself with cold eyes, and the gun in his hand was pointed at himself.

Tong Si and his sister Tong Qi were also stopped, a doctor came out from the team, stood in front of them, did not speak, just looked over, and the rest of the police officers immediately surrounded Tong Si to put the infected person down .

"My sister can't delay any longer, give us a chance." Tong Si bit his lower lip and said in a begging tone, "Please, she really can't die."

"I can understand your feelings, but in addition to preventing the further spread of the infection, we also need to conduct live research on each infected person to find out the possible source of individual-specific infection. Now the situation is serious, and there are hundreds of thousands The people are waiting for our rescue, so why not sacrifice one person in exchange for the safety of everyone." The doctor smiled and tried to persuade in a comforting tone.

That's right, for him, these people are just his research objects, and he doesn't need to consider the individuality of these people at all. As long as he saves these 10 people, even if he sacrifices one or two, he will still be the same. He is the savior revered by the world.

Tong Si's chest rose and fell violently, he stretched out a hand through Tong Qi's armpit, and clamped her in his arms as much as possible, after a long time, he smiled:

"What if I don't comply?"

The doctor shrugged: "Then I'm sorry, we can only enforce the order."

As he said that, the high-pressure water gun was set up and aimed straight at Tongsi and Tongsi. The policeman stood in front of the valve, wrapped his hands around the faucet, and waited for an order.

Seeing that Tong Qi's breathing was getting weaker, almost inaudible, Tong Si knew that there was no time for him to spend any more, so he put Tong Qi down gently, let her lean against him, pretending to compromise, and with the other hand But quietly touched the police gun on his waist.

No one can decide Tong Qi's life or death, not even God.

But Tong Si's action of touching the gun was still captured by surveillance. The people in the surveillance room immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said coldly to the police officer who was still dutifully guarding in front of the water valve:

"Open the gate."

The police officers adjusted the water pressure to the maximum, and when the valve was opened, the powerful impact force even caused the surrounding air to surge, and the high-pressure water flow rushed towards the unprepared Tong Si and Tong Qi siblings.

In the end, the siblings couldn't bear the huge water pressure and were sprayed to the ground. Seeing this, other people also fled into the tents in a hurry.

Suddenly, Zhu Yuhan ran away, rushed straight at the police officer holding the water gun, and strangled him from behind.

Seeing the situation, Zhu Yuhan hurried to pick up the water gun and wanted to turn it off, but just as his hand was about to touch the water gun, a black boot stepped on it, stomping his hand heavily on the ground.

He looked up in astonishment, and saw Fu Huaiyu holding a gun with an expression of indescribable indifference.

It seems that the person who is being "tortured" is not the colleague he has been with day and night, and the person who stepped on him is not the most beloved person who has cried, collapsed or even swore to protect with his life.

It turns out that this is human nature, and I really underestimated him before.
