Forced to follow the love line by the villain boss

At the same moment when the gunshot rang out, whether it was Meng Xing, Wen Rulan, or the others in the tower, they all turned their heads subconsciously. Meng Xing even took a few steps back, wanting to see through the glass window. What the hell is going on down there.

In fact, he couldn't see clearly because of the distance and the dark night, but he could hear, after the gunshot, there was a brief silence, followed by human voices that were several times louder than before.

The terrified cry and the cry of complete collapse under the extreme tension, mixed together, almost bursting the eardrum.

The military facing the crowd stood at a loss, because although the crowd was pushing and shoving to break through the line of defense just now, they have been defending very restrainedly, and have not received any orders to attack or even shoot. .

But the gunshots did rang out, the light was too dark, and the officer in charge didn't know the situation, not sure if their men went off fire, or... on purpose?

The situation was unclear, so he had to shout hard, telling his side not to shoot, and at the same time calm down the people outside the grid.

It's just that his voice alone is too small to overwhelm those boiling human voices.And amidst the increasingly loud noise below, the people on the tower finally responded.

"Professor Wen, please leave with us first." An officer in charge of security for Wen Rulan and his party stepped forward, a little stubbornly trying to make Wen Rulan leave with him.

The situation here was unclear, and he wasn't sure if an outbreak would follow.Although the defensive task here is very important, it is not his responsibility. His only duty is to safely escort the research team led by Wen Rulan, so that they can successfully complete today's debugging and activate the artificial sun at zero.

So after the accident, he immediately made the decision to evacuate.Anyway, the deployment of this auxiliary tower was over, and they should have left.

Wen Rulan was very cooperative with this, because he also thought the same way, he didn't care if there were any casualties, or whether there were rapes, as long as Meng Xing and him left safely.

Instead of following the officer directly, he turned around and walked to Meng Xing who was standing in front of the window. He held his hand and asked Meng Xing to follow him away.

Meng Xing followed him, but when he was leaving, he turned his head frequently, wanting to know the situation outside.

But until he got in the leaving vehicle, he couldn't see what happened, only heard the noise that was getting louder and louder.

But slowly, as his vehicle drove away from the auxiliary tower in the northwest corner and gradually approached the central city, the noise disappeared, and the roadside scene became quiet and peaceful. Instead of staying in the house, they wandered the streets in groups of twos and threes, talking and laughing.

But obviously outside the city not far away, there is hysterical despair everywhere, and this line of separation is like the junction of heaven and hell.

Meng Xing looked at the chattering and laughing people outside the car window. People's joy was sincere and contagious, but he couldn't laugh at all.

Wen Rulan noticed Meng Xing's absence, he wanted to chat with Meng Xing, they didn't have time to have a proper conversation all day long.Just now, I finally got some free time, but before I even had time to say the first word, the gunshot rang out.

Afterwards, he was urged to get on the bus and go to the Central Tower. He was surrounded by colleagues from the research institute, and there were several seats away from Meng Xing. It was really inconvenient to go there. Stand up, as long as the central tower is deployed, his work is almost over, and then he can have a good talk with Meng Xing.

After nearly an hour's drive, the group reached the bottom of the central tower.

The central tower is the core of the entire artificial sun, and the importance of the auxiliary towers is slightly less. The number of four auxiliary towers is actually a surplus. To start the artificial sun, as long as there are two auxiliary towers, it is enough for safety and prevention. Only four were built by accident.

There are a large number of soldiers guarding and defending the four auxiliary towers, but when Meng woke up to the central tower, he found that the guards were much more relaxed than the four auxiliary towers.

It's not that the government doesn't pay much attention to the central tower, it's because the central tower is located in the safest city center. Logically speaking, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to bypass the defenses on all sides and directly attack the central tower.

The strength of troops is inherently limited, so it is natural to use good steel on the blade and send limited troops to the edge of the urban area that is facing danger and violence.Therefore, the most important central tower has the least troops deployed around it.

After thinking about it for a while, Meng Xing understood the reason for the government's deployment of troops. After Wen Rulan entered the control room on the top of the tower, he sat alone in the lounge.

He didn't look down through the window anymore, because he could only see the peaceful and quiet urban area from the central tower, and he couldn't see the scene outside the city that he wanted to see.

Meng Xing sat on the seat, flipping through the messages on his phone.

Although the mainstream social software has been completely controlled by the government, people's real voices cannot be seen, but some official news and rumors released by the government can be seen.

When Meng Xing opened the software, a new news was refreshed, which was about the previous gunshots.In less than an hour, the government has already investigated the cause and effect, and issued an announcement to explain the speed.

Meng Xing read it roughly. The gunshots came from the military, but they were only accidental. Unless it was a mad thug, the military would never take the initiative to use force. Gangsters, stop spreading rumors immediately.

What kind of rumors are they?He couldn't see it on the mainstream social software that was completely wiped out, but Meng Xing found some small software and some privately established groups, and he mixed in. The moment he joined the group, he saw the screen swiping rumor.

"The government has completely disregarded our 59 billion people as compatriots and human beings. The military has directly shot at unarmed civilians, which is inhumane!"

There is also a picture below this passage, which is a picture of four or five men and women in different clothes, shot in the body, and lying in a pool of blood.

The picture was rather bloody, and the wound was not treated in any way. It was displayed intuitively in front of everyone, and it immediately aroused a lot of echoes and angry curses in the group.

But Meng Xing looked at the picture carefully. Although he didn't see the scene clearly, he still had an impression of the surrounding scenery. He saw a stone tablet in the picture that shouldn't be there at the shooting scene.

Although the government announcement did not state whether there were casualties at the scene, the shooting scene in the picture should not have occurred outside the auxiliary tower today.

Meng Xing was able to discover this because he still had reason, but the vast majority of people in the group did not. They did not seek to verify the truth of the news, but only blindly believed it to be true, and became filled with righteous indignation because of this false rumor. more aggressive.

Meng Xing didn't know what the rumor maker was trying to do, but the situation did get further out of control. The gunshot, whether it was unintentional or intentional, made the already opposing sides even more antagonistic.

Someone forwarded the government's announcement to the group, and the reaction of the people in the group was to sneer. The collapse of credibility is fatal. No matter what the government says is a lie or the truth, no one will believe it anymore.They would rather believe these rumors with unknown sources and unknown intentions.

Meng Xing looked at other groups and forums again. The rumors popular in these groups and forums were different, but the anger between the words was the same.

Some people even publicly advocated the argument that "If you want to die together, why should those officials and lords live", and there was a lot of approval from the audience.

Meng Xing didn't read it anymore, because the public opinion had completely turned to the extreme side. He tried to point out the loopholes in those rumors, but was attacked by the group and even kicked out of the group.

He put down his phone, stood up and walked to the French windows, wanting to see the quiet city and relax.But when he looked at it, he found that there were not many defenses guarding near the central tower, and another group had been withdrawn.

Meng Xing thought it was going to support the border, but he observed the movement of this troop from the tower, but found that the other party was not rushing to the border, but was patrolling inside, not knowing what to do.

He was thinking about it when someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder.It was still a familiar position, with the experience of last time, he had a prediction in his heart this time, and when he looked back, it was indeed Wen Rulan.

"Has the system deployment been completed?" Meng Xing asked.

"Almost." Wen Rulan thought for a while, "I have to go and see it myself before the zero o'clock is turned on, and make adjustments based on the data in real time."

"But..." Wen Rulan glanced at the time: "It's 5 minutes past ten o'clock, and until 11:30, my time is all yours."

He blinked ambiguously at Meng Xing when he spoke, and was expecting Meng Xing's response, but found that Meng Xing didn't receive it at all.

Meng Xing was absent-minded, his brows and eyes stretched briefly when he saw Wen Rulan, but soon, subconsciously wrinkled again.

Seeing this, Wen Rulan stretched out her hand to rub Meng Xing's eyebrows, and asked, "What are you thinking?"

"I want to..." Meng Xing hesitated for a moment, but still confessed his doubts. He didn't understand why the troop that had been transferred away was patrolling the city instead of supporting the more tense situation.

Wen Rulan pondered for a moment, he had more sources of information than Meng Xing, and he roughly knew the reason, but the reason was very complicated to explain, he wanted to analyze the matter for Meng Xing from beginning to end, and before analyzing, he first Another thing was brought up: "Do you remember the shooting at the auxiliary tower in the northwest?"

Meng Xing nodded. Of course he remembered that he had been paying attention to the public opinion on the Internet until not long ago.

"Then have you read the government announcement?" Wen Rulan asked again.

"Look, it was an accidental fire accident." Meng Xing replied, and he couldn't help sighing while answering, because so many outrageous rumors have been fermented on the Internet because of a simple fire accident.

He believed the official rhetoric, and also believed that the official did not want to intensify the conflict, so he felt that this was indeed a simple misfire.

But Wen Rulan told him the next moment: "It's not an accident."

His tone was very firm: "The person who shot did it on purpose."

Meng Xing was stunned, and after a long while, he remembered to ask: "Why?"

This is about to start from the beginning, Wen Rulan propped her arms on the railing in front of the French windows, looked at the peaceful night scene outside the window, and slowly analyzed: "Meng Xing, the federal government and the military are not actually monolithic. "

"Not everyone agrees with the plan to give up 59 billion people, and among those who agree, there are different factions. For example, the troops left in the city are all direct descendants of the same general, but there are other The generals, their direct troops, have no chance to stay."

"The division of quotas remaining in the city is a battle without gunpowder. There is no blood, but it is more tragic. Some of the losers may be willing to admit defeat, but some are not. A general without soldiers is nothing but a naked man. Commander, although they can enter the city by virtue of their pre-doomsday identities, in the days to come, they will no longer have the right to speak in any decision-making."

"For those who are used to sitting in high positions, living a stable life is far less important than the power they hold in their hands. They will not be willing to hand over power to others, but the quota has been set, and it is almost impossible to change it. It’s possible. But it’s impossible, it’s already impossible to operate from within the government, what if we rely on external forces?”

Wen Rulan gave enough hints, and Meng Xing guessed the point: "Someone wants to incite the people to riot, break the current solidified situation, and reshuffle the forces of all parties?"

"Yes." Wen Rulan affirmed: "The soldier who shot was ordered by a general who failed in the battle, and wanted to intensify the conflict. The troops that were just transferred away were sent to hunt down the instigator."

"Then those who spread rumors on the Internet did it on purpose?" Meng Xing asked again, and he told Wen Rulan all the incendiary rumors he saw.

"Maybe, maybe not." Wen Rulan's answer this time is not so sure: "Some rumors may indeed be intentional, but some are purely rumors."

Meng Xing thought about it too. There is never a shortage of people spreading rumors. They may not have any interests at all, but just because they are bored or fear that the world will not be chaotic.

Meng Xing finally asked a question: "Is this the only person in the military and government who wants to incite riots among the people?"

Wen Rulan was silent for a long time this time, and after a long while, he gave an answer: "I hope there is only this one."

He didn't give any definite answer, just hope.Meng Xing already understood the implication.

In this doomsday crisis, there are only a few victors in the internal struggles of the military and government, and most of them are losers. Among the losers, there are absolutely many who are unwilling to lose their power, and those who are ambitious to use the popular riots to do something , should not be the only one.

Only this one is exposed on the surface, and the other ones are hidden deeper, maybe they are holding some extremely important positions, and they are planning some terrible plans.

The doomsday is the doomsday ordained by man.

As August 8th was getting closer and closer, the various forces could no longer sit still and started trying to meet each other one after another. Meng Xing felt that tonight might not be peaceful.Because after sunset tomorrow, everything will be settled, and tonight is the last chance to do it.

But fortunately, at least for this moment, the inner city is indeed calm.

Temporary calm.
