Alien Relic Hunter.

Chapter 921 Extra chapter: The resistance organization on the ark

"You...uh!" Sergeant Zhan subconsciously wanted to take out the gun, but a colleague who was staring at him immediately put the electric shock device on his lower back and pressed the switch.

Perhaps because he was worried that the normal power would not be able to subdue Sergeant Zhan immediately, the guard turned up the power of the electric shocker to the maximum. Sergeant Zhan immediately fell to the ground in convulsions, with stomach acid mixed with saliva flowing uncontrollably from the corner of his crooked mouth come out.

"Get him away. Also, let me have a look at the report documents after sorting them out." The commander said to his subordinates, "By the way, before reporting this matter to the headquarters, we must first find a way to disclose it to those who want to know the 'truth' People... especially the reporters and editors of the major media, understand?"

"understand!"

……

……

On the second day after the attack, the headlines of major media released "exclusive revelations" related to the attack. Although the contents of the revelations were somewhat different, there was one thing that remained the same: every revelation was The spearhead of the instigator pointed to the "regressionist".

Although many people do not believe why the returnists, who have always acted in a "moderate" style, chose such radical violence this time, and it was aimed at the funeral of the last crew member on Earth... But in the face of that strong evidence, questioning The voice quickly faded away, and finally completely disappeared from the social network.

"The attack was planned by the Returnists, and the core members of the Returnists participated in the operation. As for providing these people with weapons and explosives, it was the capital that secretly funded the Returnists on weekdays." This statement was quickly dismissed. The vast majority accept it, but what is the motivation for the returnists to do so?No one cares about their motives. People in the upper class care more about whether their wealth and power will be affected, while people at the bottom care more about whether they can get a full distribution of supplies tomorrow... The spectators want to see Only when it's lively, they don't care whose blood is staining the ground red.

But some people's life suddenly becomes not so easy...

Since the returnists seldom resort to violent means, the identities of many members of the returnees are actually public, and they are also recorded in the files of the guard... This is not a big deal, as long as they don’t do illegal things, even if they know Members of your return faction, the Guards generally don't bother with these people.

But when the attack was determined to be planned by the returnists, everything changed.

A large number of members of the returnists were arrested, and some who tried to resist were directly shot dead on the spot... It is a "coincidental coincidence" that in the homes of these members of the returnists who were killed, some other details of the attack plan were "searched" Some of the drafts target transportation hubs such as rail stations, and others target areas such as material exchange points and residential areas... The selection of these attack locations has several characteristics: a large flow of people, a complex surrounding environment, and the ability to hide people There are many places for weapons and weapons—if you don’t consider the value and significance of the target, these selected locations are simply perfect targets.

And in these draft plans, such a slogan appeared many times: "The stupid people must know that only the earth is their eternal home, sailing to the unknown universe, and the only thing waiting for us is perdition!"

Targeting ordinary people as the target of the attack instantly ignited public outrage—no matter how radical the reformers are, their targets have always been the guards, official staff or officials, even if the attack would result in the death of civilians, but That's just hurting innocent people.And these returners actually chose unarmed civilians as the target of the attack from the very beginning, which is completely different in nature.

Even the most brazen American in the old era, bombing the civilian area still has to find such a poor excuse as "we are attacking terrorists lurking in the civilian area", even they dare not directly kill the civilians— —Anyone who dares to do this will almost become the target of public criticism in the end.

39-year-old Shi Chuanhui is a professor of linguistics and a senior member of the Returnist Party. He lives in a staff apartment only three kilometers away from his workplace. He has no wife, but he does have a young woman who lives with him. friend.

Ishi Chuanhui's girlfriend is 16 years younger than Ishi Chuanhui. The two met in a returnist parade... But just 5 minutes ago, Ishi Chuanhui received a message from his girlfriend who was out shopping. The content of the message is very short, only two words: "Run!"

Ishi Chuanhui immediately called back, but there was no answer on the other end of the phone. Just as Ishi Chuanhui was circling in the living room anxiously, the news about yesterday's attack happened to be broadcast on TV.

Shi Chuanhui didn't listen to what the people on TV were saying at all. He was full of thoughts about what happened to his girlfriend, whether he was robbed or kidnapped, and whether he should call the police or not. However, as the news reports deepened, his attention was gradually attracted by the content on the TV.

After seeing it for about 10 minutes, Shi Chuanhui suddenly slapped the table—he suddenly understood why his girlfriend sent him that message!
Although it was not clearly mentioned in the news, the guards must be hunting down members of the "returnist faction" now... She may have been arrested!

"Damn!"

Ishi Chuanhui jumped up from the ground, rushed to the study, and turned on the computer——only then did he realize that the communication group of the members of the returnees was full of mourners, and many of them had already been arrested by the guards who broke into their homes. , Some people were severely beaten or even shot for just a little resistance.

The exchange groups and meeting groups were disbanded one after another, and those groups that were not disbanded gradually became quiet, as if someone was hiding in the dark and was watching something...

Shi Chuanhui was startled, and hurriedly canceled every group chat he had joined, and then began to sort out the documents and materials spread out on the desk.

He didn't know when the rubber-soled combat boots of the Guards would kick open his gate...but before that, he had to run.

He did not plan any violent actions, and he never violated any laws of the Ark in the rallies of the returnists. He believed that most of the members of the returnists who were arrested would be acquitted in the end, and his girlfriend would eventually die. I will definitely be able to come back safely...

But he can't be caught by the guards... Not only can't he be caught, but the research materials in this study room can't fall into the hands of the guards.

These things... are too sensitive.

Shi Chuanhui searched out all the papers, chips and storage devices in every corner of the desk, stuffed them into the trash can, and then went back to the restaurant to get a bottle of spirits that had just been opened and not drunk much. It's all poured over these things.

He never let his girlfriend into the study. If that girl were here now, he would be surprised to find that Ishikawa Teru is a professor of linguistics, but those manuscript papers are full of dense molecular formulas and calculation formulas. ...

Ishi Chuanhui took out a lighter from his coat pocket, lit the contents of the trash can, and then used his fingerprints to open a safe embedded in the dark compartment of the bookcase, and took out a frosted metal box from inside, carefully Tucked it into the inside pocket of his coat.

After buttoning the button, Shi Chuanhui patted the pocket several times with his hand, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with the box, he took off a wide-brimmed hat from the coat rack and put it on his head, and lowered the brim of the front hat... After doing all this, he quickly walked out of the house.

Shi Chuanhui's residence is located in the East Third District, which is an area where high society people gather. Even if the guards come to search, they still need to go through a series of complicated permit procedures, which buys him a lot of time.

As soon as he walked out, Shi Chuanhui saw his neighbor coming back with a big bag of hot bread, and waved to him: "Professor Shi Chuan, where are you going?"

"Eh? I... I have an impromptu academic meeting..." Shi Chuanhui said casually, "Oh, by the way, can you sell me this bag of bread? I forgot to prepare breakfast today, and the meeting is estimated to last By noon..."

"Ah?" The neighbor obviously didn't respond, "But, this bag of bread is enough for three people in my family for a week. Is it a bit too much for you? If you need it, I can give you two , I don’t need the money, they are all neighbors, I can’t see you when you look up..."

"Uh... um, I just got a call. Many people at the conference site didn't have time to prepare lunch... After all, it was an impromptu meeting and it was rushed. They dragged me to buy a batch of food, but time is tight right now, I It's too late to go to the store..." Shi Chuanhui said a little far-fetched.

"In this case...Okay, okay, I'll go buy it again later, you take this bag of bread first. If you need jam or butter, I'll go to the house and get it for you..."

"No, no, thank you...the money will be transferred to you when I come back." Ishi Chuanhui took the bag and hugged it to his chest, and his steps quickly accelerated.

He covered his face with a huge bread bag, and walked on the street. According to his original plan, he planned to go to the slums in the East Tenth District-if there is any place on the Ark where people are best hidden, it is naturally a mixed bag The slums of the city are nonexistent.Moreover, it is also difficult for the guards to reach there. In that kind of gray area, many semi-legal or even illegal things will become "legal"... As long as you are capable enough and do things clean enough, everything will be fine. There will be problems.

Ishi Chuanhui suddenly bought this big bag of bread from his neighbors, firstly to cover his face with the bread bag, and secondly to solve the food problem after first arriving in the slums - the slums lack supplies, and many transactions cannot be paid with credit points... What's more, after Shi Chuanhui's name was included in the wanted list, his virtual account would definitely be frozen.

Shi Chuanhui regretted for a moment that he didn't have more "hard currency" that could be bartered: such as watches, pens, and some electronic gadgets that don't need to be connected to the Internet. These small technology products are in the black market in the slums Very popular, there is almost no difficulty in shooting.

"There is still a gun... I have to find a way to get a gun for self-defense." Shi Chuanhui said to himself in his heart.

His research work is not independent, but he and "Shangjia" used to be in a completely single-line communication mode. If Shangjia didn't look for him, he couldn't get in touch with the other party... Moreover, Shangjia also had contact with the other party. He has repeatedly emphasized that if he gets into trouble, don't expect his family to provide him with any convenience. The best way to deal with it is to erase all evidence and act stupid.

But Shi Chuanhui is not reconciled, he is not reconciled to the research results of more than ten years in vain... He always wants to try, maybe, things will turn around.

"The latest direct train to the East Tenth District is 35 minutes later... No, it's too long, and it will change if you are late... If you choose to drive by yourself, you will not be able to pass the checkpoints between the various blocks, and private vehicles are easy to pass. Locked by the surveillance system... yes! Freight train, maybe I can find a way to take the freight train!"

Shi Chuanhui circled half a circle outside the station, then turned his head and walked towards the cargo transfer station.On the way, he saw a large screen hanging on a high place live broadcasting the scene of the guards arresting people. In the residence of a returnist member who "desperately resisted", several guards found a blood-stained plan , and showed it to the camera.

"The stupid people must know that only the earth is our eternal home, and sailing to the unknown universe, the only thing waiting for us is death!"

"Framed... This must be framed!" Ishi Chuanhui looked at the things on the screen and said to himself, "We hope that more people will join the returnists...how could they choose to attack the people? Damn, isn't there Can people see that there is a big problem with this plan?"

If it was in court, Ishi Chuanhui would definitely choose to fight with reason, but now, the thing he is carrying in his arms is much more troublesome than the forged plan that was used to frame him at first glance.

If this thing is announced, it will inevitably cause an earthquake in the society... As for Shi Chuanhui himself, even he himself is not sure what kind of treatment he will face.

But he firmly believes that as long as this research can be completed, everyone's views on it will change 180 degrees, but the premise is that it must be completed.

Shi Chuanhui finally arrived at the cargo transfer station. Several workers wearing engineering exoskeletons were unloading the train. He walked over slowly and asked, "Is there a bus to Dongshi District? I want to take a ride. The price Easy to say."

"East District Ten? Hitchhiking?" A worker stopped and turned to look at the middle-aged man—although the man deliberately covered his face, judging from his clothes, this man's family background should be not bad... Such a man , want to take the freight train to the East Tenth District?It really made the worker brother a little confused.

【PS It's written in the side story that it's finally leading to the main drama... Shi Chuanhui's research project is something related to the main line of the text, so you might as well take a guess. 】
