Chapter 41 Parade

At 08:30 on the morning of March [-], the largest parade in the past ten years broke out at Base [-] without warning.Tens of thousands of residents took to the streets, marched or sat in to protest the injustice they had suffered over the years and demanded the repeal of the Segregation Act.

The parade was massive, but orderly, obviously well organized.

In front of the government building at Base No. [-], hundreds of residents lined up in a neat square formation. Above their heads, there was a huge holographic projection floating with only two words: equality and freedom.

"Daily Mail" was the first media to report on this matter. A few minutes later, their article was frantically reprinted by their peers, and the whole network knew about it.

At that time, Base No. [-] was in the afternoon, and the hurried passers-by stopped, and the running children were summoned to the arms of their parents. Everyone was nervously staring at their mobile phones, paying attention to this mass movement that shocked the world. .

This incident is even more touching than the arrest of the serial killer K in Base No. [-] years ago. Countless people have their own concerns, and their eyes are glued to Base No. [-], anxiously waiting for the development of the situation.

Yangzhou is also one of them.The news came as a shock to him.After he came to the base, he had been wary of Chen Jian, thinking that Base No. [-] would make a big move, but he didn't expect that Base No. [-], which is usually unknown, made the first move.It's not just him. Judging by the scramble of the coalition government, it is estimated that UNPO did not receive any news before the incident happened.

The communicator on his wrist started to heat up. Jeffrey No. sent Yangzhou 12 communications, but he quietly refused.

Needle drop could be heard in the living room, filled with a depressing feeling of impending rain.Yang Zhou turned his head slightly, and saw Chen Jian sitting on the sofa not far away, with his fingers sliding, browsing the news at a glance.

So far, the parade has lasted for two hours, and Base No. [-] and the coalition government have not yet made a statement. Only the Base Police Department has activated an emergency plan and dispatched some police forces to maintain order.

"You know about this?" Yang Zhou asked, trying to stir up some ripples in the stagnant water.

No wonder he thought too much, base No. [-] broke out without warning, and at such a delicate time, it was very reasonable to suspect Chen Jian.What's more, when the incident was first reported, Yang Zhou noticed his expression. Although his face was serious, he was not as surprised as he imagined, but more disturbed, as if he had expected this result.

Chen Jian put away the virtual newspaper, and turned his eyes towards Yangzhou. There was no special emotion, but the slightly drooping eyelids showed a bit of fatigue. "I don't know," he said.

These words are not entirely accurate, in fact, Chen Jian had a premonition.A few days ago, his people intercepted and interfered with Fang Xing's communication with Bernard. I don't know if Bernard noticed something was wrong and arbitrarily moved forward the Independence Day that he had agreed with Fang Xing by one month.

It was too hasty.It's not a good thing for the two bases, and Fang Xing must be jumping with anger now.Thinking of this, Chen Jian felt a shameless pleasure.

He has been working hard all the time, in order to control the experiment in his own hands, and only implement it in the No. [-] base. Unfortunately, Fang Xing is blind and arrogant, and starts to make his own decisions on many things, so the original plan has become a wild horse. , can never turn back.Fire in the backyard is not the right word, but Chen Jian can't think of anything at the moment.

He's not omnipotent, in fact his powers are rather small.For example, now, apart from waiting for news, he can do no more than Yangzhou.The seemingly glamorous governor is as insignificant as an ant under a greater power.

The difficulties and sacrifices described by Yangzhou before have not yet come, but they have already shown the shadow of claws and claws.If Bernard did not operate properly, then his fate may be a lesson for himself.

Chen Jian bent down and reached for the cigarette case on the tea table.With a click, he lit the fire, causing Yang Zhou to tilt his head slightly, like a drop of dew falling on the tip of grass.

A few minutes later, the "Daily Mail" suddenly sent a new push, and the microphone-shaped cursor kept flashing.The two clicked to check it, and found that it was an official statement issued by the United Nations. After reading it, they looked at each other with uncomfortable expressions.

In its statement, the coalition government expressed its understanding and high importance to the parade at Base No. 25, and promised to hold an interim plenary meeting of the UN Parliament [-] days later to discuss issues related to the abolition of the "Quarantine Act".At the same time, Bernard, the Governor of Base No. [-], is required to evacuate the residents as soon as possible and restore the order of production and life.

At the same time, both the Rose faction and the White Dove faction are also building momentum for themselves on the Internet.This unexpected incident is obviously beneficial to the Rose faction, but the White Dove faction is still relentlessly muddying the waters, enumerating in detail the evil deeds of natural born criminals for decades.

After 25 days of parliamentary voting, whether the "Quarantine Act" could be abolished immediately became a hot topic on the Internet. Many portals opened public opinion polls, as if they were holding a grand event.

What is strange is that the government of Base [-] has not made any sound since the demonstration broke out.

"What are you going to do?" Yang Zhou turned off the signal receiver on his watch and asked Chen Jian in a low voice.

Chen Jian pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray and turned it slowly, "Tell me."

"Don't mess around." Yang Zhou said, "Maybe the Quarantine Act will be abolished this time, just wait."

Chen Jian's mouth twitched, "Mr. Yang is so naive." He raised his head and met Yang Zhou's embarrassed and worried face. Suddenly he felt that he was going too far, so he put away his yin and yang and said calmly: "Every meeting discusses The "Segregation Act" has never been abolished successfully. Some members of the Rose faction talk about equality and freedom, and secretly support the "Segregation Act" when they voted. This kind of trick can't fool me."

Knowing that what he said was the truth, Yang Zhou's heart sank for a moment, he fumbled through the comments under the news, and didn't speak again.

After a while, Chen Jian went upstairs, Yang Zhou left the villa, walked along the branching road for a while, and reached a secluded forest, and turned on the signal receiver on the watch.

Geoffrey didn't bother to scold him for missing, and asked immediately after connecting, "How is the situation at the No. [-] base?"

"Hello, Jeffrey." Yang Zhou greeted calmly.

"Damn it, Louis! Don't play that game with me!" Jeffrey was very anxious, every word was like a cannonball fired quickly, "Tell me, has Bernard contacted Chen Jian? This parade has nothing to do with Chen Jian Does it matter?"

"He said no."

"Damn, you still ask him? You know what I want is not this!" Jeffrey was furious, "What about the genetic experiment? What did you find out?"

Yangzhou struggled for two seconds between his conscience and the truth, and this brief silence was captured by Jeffrey.He took a breath, and said a few words of "Damn", "Is it really an experiment? What is the content of the experiment? No, no, you don't need to know, just wait, I will send a team to support you, Just avoid the White Dove faction and destroy their achievements in secret, this Chen Jian is a bit tricky, I have to think carefully about how to deal with it..."

"There is no genetic experiment." Yang Zhou interrupted him suddenly, "Even if there was, I haven't found any evidence."

"What?" Jeffrey had long been suspicious of him, and he didn't hide his anger and dissatisfaction at the moment, "Then what the hell have you been doing these past few months?"

"I'm incompetent."

Jeffrey's lungs ached from Yangzhou's calm tone, and he took a few gulps of the iced coffee in hand.

"I advise you to pay more attention to Base No. [-], maybe they are the ones who will make a big move." Yangzhou was about to cut off the communication, thought for a while, and then asked: "Is this temporary meeting expected to abolish the "Quarantine Act"?" ?”

The cold drink temporarily suppressed Jeffrey's anger, and he explained patiently: "This parade is still more beneficial to us, but the situation must be controlled at this point, and it cannot worsen. Negative news. Repealing the Quarantine Act is still possible if it stays this way."

"I don't believe it." Yangzhou said: "You are all a bunch of cowards, afraid of taking responsibility, afraid of a short genetic sequence, and afraid of a rate of atrocities higher than [-]% of ordinary people. There have been horrific murderers, and those who push for the repeal of the Quarantine Act will surely be forced to take political responsibility. You don't want to ruin your future."

The opposite party didn't speak for a long time, and finally there was a sigh, "Louis, you."

"When you chose the Rose School back then, you must still have a little bit of grievances in your heart for a born criminal, right?" Yang Zhou fiddled with the withered grass with his toes, his heart full of boredom and sadness, and the last sentence was as light as water vapor in the sun, " Or have I misread you all along?"

He cut off the communication signal, put his hands in his coat pockets, and walked slowly back along the neatly lined poplar trees.

The setting sun that is about to set gently envelopes this dry, cold and desolate land, covering it with a dreamy coat.The sunset glow in the sky is streaked left and right, intermittently, as if it was formed by a brush with half-dried ink.Yangzhou had never been to this area before, but now facing this rich and magnificent scenery, he felt relieved and began to appreciate it with great interest.

In the winter evening, most of the residents hid in their houses, and Yangzhou was the only one on the road.He stopped and went, and when he was approaching the last intersection, he suddenly met Fang Xing at the corner.

The two of them haven't seen each other for some time, the last time was the day when Chen Jian and Yang Zhou just found out that they were brothers.

When they met each other, both of them were taken aback.Yang Zhou's eyes moved to Fang Xing's back, and then fell back on his face, and smiled, "Mr. Fang, what a coincidence."

Fang Xing frowned slightly and nodded, "What is Mr. Yang doing nearby?"

"Go shopping." Yangzhou said, "Where is Mr. Fang?"

"Me too." Fang Xing looked at him with an elusive gaze, and asked as if chatting: "How is Mr. Yang and Chen Jian these days? He didn't make things difficult for you, did he? Don't blame him, he Being abandoned by my mother since I was a child, I can't help but hate my aunt. When I yelled at you that day, I lost control of my emotions. Please understand him and don't take it to heart."

Yangzhou looked at the sky again, the sunset glow was even brighter, but the sense of leisure just now disappeared without a trace, and there was a big net covering the sky, trying to trap the prey tightly.

"I didn't take it to heart." Yang Zhou said, "Mr. Fang is too worried."

Fang Xing's smile was filled with a little heartfelt joy: "However, this matter of yours is indeed strange, and such a probability is frightening to death."

Yangzhou "hehe" twice.

"Don't worry, after a while Chen Jian accepts, he will get along well with you. We always played together when we were young, I know he will be a good brother."

"Thank you." Yangzhou's temples twitched, his moist skin tightened, showing a metallic texture.He raised the corner of his mouth and showed a perfect smirk, "Mr. Fang went to Mr. Douglas in the cold. He must have something important to discuss? Do you want me to send a message to Chen Jian?"

Fang Xing stared, his teeth were clenched, and there was a long and narrow depression on each cheek, and his whole face became gloomy and sharp.He looked at Yangzhou with a fake smile, "It's not something important, just walk around casually."

Yangzhou shrugged his shoulders, and nodded gracefully: "Mr. Fang, please go home early, let's sit down and chat when you have time."

The road was not long, but Yangzhou was very tired from walking. When he reached the villa, he even had the urge to flee.The pleasure of confronting Fang Xing quickly dissipated as the blood cooled, leaving only the bitterness to ruminate.

This house has seen so many stories.He and Chen Jian met here for the first time, and with a "ding", the galloping train came to a fork in the road and stopped in a hurry. The next moment, he agreed to stay here, so the train turned slightly and drove away. To an increasingly unpredictable place.

Looking back now, I still feel incredible.

Yangzhou pushed open the door, warm and dry air rushed in, and the smell of burning wood in the fireplace was reassuring.He changed his shoes, hung up his coat, went to the bathroom to wash his face, and found that he had a little tail when he came out.

When he walks, the opponent also walks; when he stops, the opponent also stops.After tossing around like this for a while, Yang Zhou turned around and looked helplessly at the boxy robot, "D3, what's wrong?"

Although D3 didn't trouble him in the past two days, Yang Zhou was still worried, wary of the little robot coming up with new tricks.Andrew, who was busy in the kitchen, heard the movement and quickly poked his head out to watch them closely.

"I'm sorry. Mr. Chen asked me to apologize to you."

D3 was talking awkwardly, the appearance made Yang Zhou imagine a child with a flat mouth, shaking his body nervously.He felt warm in his heart, and smiled gently: "It's okay, I understand."

"Really?" D3's body emitted a dazzling red light, which lasted for two seconds before disappearing, which was a way of expressing his happiness. "In order to show my sincerity, I can grant you one wish." He put down his bold words.

Yangzhou couldn't help laughing, and teased him: "Are you Doraemon or Aladdin's magic lamp?"

"You only have one chance! We don't have genetic experiments here, so I can help you realize any other wishes!" D3 found new fun and kept pestering Yang Zhou, asking him to make requests.

Yang Zhou didn't expose him. He had a lot to ask about the "hard-won" opportunity, but at the end he had a thought, and what he said was: "What was Chen Jian like when he was a child?"

"Huh?" D3 was still a little unhappy: "This is too simple!"

Soon, a transparent blue light screen appeared in front of Yangzhou, and then an old photo was gradually loaded.

"This is a photo of Mr. Chen when he was seven years old." D3 said.

Yang Zhou saw a fleshy face first, when Chen Jian's baby fat was still obvious, the outline was round and cute, soft and waxy like a balloon filled with water.He was wearing suspenders, with his hands behind his back, his short hair standing on end, his chin slightly raised, his thin lips tightly pressed, and his brows full of air and impatience.The most beautiful ones are his eyes, which are black and clear, with thick eyelashes drooping halfway, and he is unwilling to be photographed but can't help being proud, all revealed from his eyes.

Yangzhou couldn't help slowing down his breathing.He stretched out his right hand, lightly tapped on the holographic projection, and touched Xiao Chen Jian's face.

He didn't realize that he was smiling, but Chen Jian who was going downstairs saw it.The young man was tall and straight, with gentle eyes. He scratched the tip of the child's nose. In an instant, it was as if the time was reversed, and his memory was confused. The angelic touch landed on his face.Chen Jian was startled, and raised his hand nostalgicly, only to get nothing.

His chest was full and his heart was beating wildly.In order to cover up the intense heartbeat, he had to say loudly: "D3, take that stupid thing for me!"

"Mr. Yang said it's cute." D3 muttered.

When the photo disappeared, Yangzhou realized that Chen Jian had encountered this scene, and his hands and feet became stiff immediately, not daring to turn his head.Unexpectedly, when Chen Jian passed by his side, he suddenly poked his nose fiercely, "Why are you standing there stupidly!"

Yangzhou was so nervous that he was shaken by the poke.In the erratic line of sight, Chen Jian's back was distorted and deformed, which was extraordinarily funny, but Yang Zhou's nose was sore and his eyes were moist.

Whether it's a half-blood brother or an ambiguous object who is not a lover, he will always be him.
