born criminal

The march at Base [-] continued uninterrupted following the release of the coalition government's official statement.The whole city is like a fermenting white flour steamed bun, the emotions are being baked and swelled a little bit.

In UNPO's director's office, the gray-haired Mr. Walker was smoking a cigar anxiously. He was old and his every move was slow and heavy, but the two people standing in front of him did not dare to neglect and bowed respectfully.

"This Bernard," Mr. Walker sank in the large swivel chair, narrowed his cloudy eyes, "haven't evacuated the residents yet, do you really want to be independent?"

The office was eerily quiet, Jeffrey and Thomas looked at each other, neither of them dared to answer.

"Independence is impossible," Mr. Walker stared meaningfully at the two deputy directors, and his tone suddenly became severe. "I don't care about your open and secret fights, but this matter must be stopped at all costs."

The sun set and the moon rose, but the streets of Base [-] were still blocked.As time went by, emotions accumulated, the residents became agitated, and the voices complaining about the coalition government became louder. Some people in the parade began to throw things and curse. The police were anxious to maintain order, and some collisions inevitably occurred. There were no major casualties.

After a noisy night, at sunrise the next day, some residents yawned and dispersed, but most of them stayed put and started a new round of "battle" with vigor.

At around ten o'clock, the sun gradually became dazzling. Residents who were yelling abuse at the gate of the government suddenly found that the holographic projection with the words "equality&freedom" above their heads was blocked by a larger light screen. Then, a familiar image of a man with a beard appear in the air.

Governor Bernard of Base No. 26, after [-] hours of silence, finally delivered a public speech to all residents.

Bernard was an excellent orator, and the speech in his hand was carefully worded, impassioned, and extremely provocative.He recounted the evils of the "Segregation Act", protested against the unfair treatment of natural-born criminals over the years, and even choked up several times when he talked about the emotional part, which caused the entire base to mourn.

After gaining the sympathy of the residents, Bernard, who had been prepared for a long time, raised his arms and put forward the idea of ​​"independence".

independent!

When he yelled this word, countless residents had already fallen into frenzy. They echoed and jumped, their heads were sweating profusely, their cheeks were flushed, and their eyes were wide open, as if infected with some terrible infectious disease. The slogan of "independence" was roared in the crowd over and over again, and the thunderous echo frightened the birds for a long time.

Many years later, this spectacular scene still amazes countless people.

On the other side of the remote network, Chen Jian watched the scene silently, and after a while, he moved his fingertips and closed the window.

Bernard's speech was not only for the residents of Base No. [-], it was broadcast live on the whole network, and more importantly, it showed his attitude to the United Nations.

It has to be said that Bernard was well prepared, and even Chen Jian felt a little touched at this moment.But that was only for a moment. Chen Jian knew very well that no matter how shocking the speech was, it was only a trigger. The next game with the coalition government would be the moment to decide the fate of the born criminal.

Now that Fang Xing and Bernard have collude, the fire may soon spread to Base No. [-].

He was thinking about the next coping plan, like a traveler groping in the fog, not knowing where the road ahead would lead, and only felt that walking was difficult and distracted.

Yangzhou was sitting not far away. Chen Jian glanced at him and saw that he was still concentrating on watching Bernard's speech with his eyes half down. He felt awkward for some reason, and said coldly, "I'm moved? Don't you want to cry?" .”

Yangzhou raised his head, not showing any emotion.He touched his lips, wanting to respond to Chen Jian's sarcasm, but in the end he gave up on talking and asked a more concerned question: "Base No. [-] is also conducting genetic experiments?"

"How do I know?" Chen Jian said.

His voice was short and impatient, but Yangzhou read the taste of guilt and uneasiness.

"You and Bernard planned it?"

It is simply which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted.Chen Jian stared at him for a while, then suddenly showed a frivolous smile: "It's more pleasing to the eye when you don't talk."

Yang Zhou seemed to have a fishbone stuck in his throat, so he stopped talking.He glanced at the study room a few times, determined to find a chance to explore the secret passage as soon as possible.

Less than an hour after Bernard's passionate speech was delivered, the United Nations Parliament held a press conference. At the meeting, the speaker strongly condemned Bernard's behavior, believing that he deliberately created demonstrations, manipulated public opinion, and tried to break away from the rule of the United Nations, seriously violating the " The provisions of the United Nations National Security Act.In addition, the coalition government has made it very tough. If Bernard does not come forward to clarify and apologize within 24 hours, the UN army will enter the No. [-] base to maintain law and order and arrest relevant personnel.

Even the Rose faction, who has always opposed the "Segregation Act", immediately stated that it firmly opposes the division of the country, but will continue to provide equal rights for born criminals.

However, Base No. 1 did not seem to be affected by these "condemnation" and "statement".The enthusiasm of the people is high, and everyone is making suggestions for the nascent country, which political and economic system should be established, how to develop culture and education, and everyone they meet on the road can talk a little bit. For a while, everyone seems to be an expert.The intimidation by the coalition government did not scare the more than [-] residents at all. They know that the law does not punish the public. Whether today's independence incident is a farce or a monument, punishment will never fall on them.Years later, they can still proudly tell their children and grandchildren that they were part of a great movement.

Governor Bernard and several other government officials spoke again, calling on the residents to unite, bravely deal with the next sanctions imposed by the coalition government, and defend their homes.

Base No. 24 is like a pot of boiling water, which has not stopped churning for a long time.On the Internet, there are still debates everywhere, and those who watch the excitement and those who worry about the country and the people can be seen everywhere.Countdowns are displayed on many large websites, and the [-] hours given in the UN ultimatum are ticking by.

The odds are against the Rose faction, and their position is now delicate and difficult.According to the past, Jeffrey had contacted Yangzhou a long time ago, but I don't know if he was so mad the day before that he actually released Yangzhou Qingjing this time.

But Yangzhou couldn't hold back, and wanted to ask him about the situation.He knew that it was impossible for the Rose faction to allow the base to be independent. Although it is said that people all over the world are citizens of the United Nations, nation-states are still the main way of human existence. The United Nations has only seven bases that truly have complete domination. And outcast citizens of all nations—born criminals.If all the bases become independent one after another, the United Nations will become an empty shelf, and where will politicians profit from?

Yangzhou initiated three communications, all of which were rejected by Jeffrey.He became more and more uneasy, fearing that the genetic experiment had been mastered by UNPO, and he would attack Base No. [-] next.

Chen Jian was quite at ease, except for avoiding him to make a few phone calls occasionally, the rest of the time he spent the rest of the time nestling by the fireplace to warm himself up, not sure if he was really relaxing or just pretending.Yangzhou couldn't sneak into the study, just sat in a hurry, wanted to ask him, but couldn't open his mouth.

There are only eight hours left before the deadline set by the coalition government for Bernard.

During this period, several other bases were instigated by speeches, and small-scale independence demonstrations broke out one after another, and Base No. [-] was no exception.However, these demonstrations were obviously organized spontaneously by the masses, and they broke up after a short period of time. Chen Jian Fang Xing did not show his face, temporarily playing it safe.

Everyone is waiting, waiting for the moment that may rewrite history.

The room was so silent, it was like a tomb. D3 wandered into the living room, trying to talk to Chen Jian.Chen Jian was cutting a cigar, and he didn't like to talk about it, so D3 ran to Yang Zhou and asked him to help him check a depression on his "back".

"Where did you hit?" Yang Zhou pressed the button in a good-tempered manner, "The alloy material on the surface of your body is not hard enough."

D3 immediately complained aggrievedly, saying that he would go to Eric to repair it tomorrow, and also begged Yangzhou to agree to let Andrew accompany him, so as not to meet some "hate guys" and he couldn't beat it alone.

Knowing that he was talking about D4, Yang Zhou couldn't help but smile.

"No prospect." Even Chen Jian cursed.

D3 was about to throw a tantrum, when Andrew called him to go outside on the lawn to bask in the sun. D3 yelled "Wait for me" loudly, turned around in a hurry, and happily followed.

After he made such a fuss, most of the dull atmosphere in the living room dissipated. With a smile on his face, Yang Zhou suddenly met Chen Jian's gaze, the corners of his mouth froze, and then the arc disappeared.

Chen Jian lit the cigar, but kept it by his hand and let it burn.The air was filled with the mellow aroma of tobacco, and the two were silent for a moment, before he suddenly said, "Let's go."

"What?" Yang Zhou asked subconsciously, and soon understood.His back suddenly bent, as if the vines had been pulled out of their support, and instantly softened, but he tried his best to support it.

Before he wanted to leave, Chen Jian let him stay, but now he wanted to stay, but Chen Jian let him go.

"Why?" Yangzhou asked.

"There is no reason, your mission should have ended long ago, why are you still here?" Chen Jian said indifferently, his eyes fixed on the strange patterns on the carpet.

"Are you going to make a move?" Yang Zhou immediately understood, and asked in disbelief, "Are you really with Bernard?"

Chen Jian snorted shortly, showing a wry smile.

"I can't go," Yangzhou's throat tightened, and the side of his neck stretched out in the shape of an artery, like a stubborn half-grown child, "I haven't finished my mission yet."

"Do you think this reason will allow me to keep you?" Chen Jian turned to look at him, but he didn't sneer, "At least make up a decent one."

Yang Zhou gently tugged on his pants with his hands on his knees, and after a long time, he said softly, "I'm your younger brother."

This matter had been neglected and avoided by both parties, but Yang Zhou's sudden mention of it caught Chen Jian by surprise.He was anxious to say something, whether it was denial or cursing, but a huge sense of powerlessness stuck to his lips, making him unable to speak.

Many impulses surged in his heart, and he stared at Yangzhou with hatred and despair.Yang Zhou also looked at him without evasion, a few strands of hair fell down and dangled in front of his light-colored pupils.He looked indifferent and fresh, like a wild tea tree.

Chen Jian's hot and heavy breathing gradually calmed down. He picked up the burnt cigar and slammed it, and a piece of ash fell neatly.Yangzhou heard him say viciously: "Then don't regret it."
