Why it never ends

Chapter 71 Professional Conduct
"In the past half a month, the researchers in the base have experienced an unimaginable bullying - their private mailboxes, residences, and even the schools and departments they used to work in have received a large number of warning letters And the curse, as if overnight, these researchers who have been fighting on the front line of fighting against chelation disease have become the minions of the devil.

"Everyone, including the closest and most familiar people around them, is constantly questioning why AHgAs refuses to release Hesta? Why didn't the trade unions in the base organize strikes and demonstrations? What is their personal attitude on this matter? But due to secrecy regulations, they couldn't explain it—when the real conspirators stirred up public opinion and tried to use the sympathy of the citizens to break the line of defense of the mercury needle, they could only remain silent.

"According to reliable sources, Avinash Lakotia, retired from District No. 11, has arrived in Tanyi a few days ago. He will lead the first mercury task force of the coalition government in the third district, and the entire team targeting Hess The scramble for the tower and the incitement of public opinion are part of the task force's "Naxin Plan". The so-called "let her free" is just a layer of sugar coating. Even if Hesta is really an angelic little girl, what is waiting for her is just another A road full of thorns.

"Today, under the pressure of crazy public opinion, 27 foundations around the world have issued written warnings or temporarily suspended financial support to the reserve base in the third district. At the same time, angry citizens continue to rush into here. The office building protested against the cold-blooded and bureaucratic mercury needles, but what most citizens don’t understand is that 2/3 of the staff here are ordinary people like the author. Under multiple pressures, they are already overwhelmed.

"On the 14th of this month, the underground base of Mercury in Tanyi City just experienced a catastrophe. A research chelate rushed out of the cage and attacked three reserve Mercury. Among these children, the oldest They were only 14 years old, and the youngest was only 11 years old. Two people were seriously injured and one was slightly injured. They are receiving treatment at the base hospital.

"As of now, the cause of the accident is still under investigation, but some questions have been placed in front of each of us: should we cooperate or confront? Should we wake up completely, or continue to suffer from being deceived? We must clarify our prejudices and move towards survival through joint efforts , or in a conspiracy, towards a lose-lose situation——

"Who is our friend and who is our enemy?"

The last sentence was even bolded.

Robert saw a mouthful of blood welling up in his heart.

"What does it have to do with us that the chelate inside the mercury needle came out? This reporter is so young, what about her basic professional ethics? What about her conscience?!"

Alan didn't know how to answer, but just looked at his superior worriedly.

The muscles on Robert's face twitched slightly. In his extreme anger, he suddenly remembered Avinash's advice to Chiba back then - don't be friends with such a person, but let alone be her enemy.

In the rush, Robert felt a little dizzy again.

Alan asked in a low voice: "A lot of media have already contacted us, wanting to ask us about our response to this report... Shall we hold a meeting now, and first internally collate the words?"

……

In the underground hospital, Turan opened his eyes after the operation.

There was an unfamiliar ward in front of her, and the whole room was bright, but she seemed to be floating in a transparent coffin.

Turan's first reaction was that she was already dead, and that this was the moment of her soul's freedom, as mentioned in many near-death experiences, she was about to float away from her body and go to heaven.

Until she saw Liz sitting not far from her flipping a book, her expression was very calm, Turan was a little puzzled, then looked sideways, there was an electrocardiogram monitor on the other side of her body, and the broken lines on the screen were beating regularly.

still alive.

Liz also found that Turan was awake at this time, she immediately put down the book, and dragged the stool to Turan's bed.

"You have been asleep for a long time." Liz whispered, "If there is still no movement in two hours, I have to call the doctor again."

The corners of Turan's mouth were raised slightly, barely revealing a smile.

Although the two are very close, there is still a transparent curtain wall between them. Inside the curtain wall is a 3 cubic meter sterile room, and Turan is lying in it.

Now, with Turan's personal vision, she can't see her lower body—the raw flesh below her waist has been severely necrotic due to blood loss. At this moment, countless infusion tubes and assisted circulation devices are extending from her open abdominal cavity, sustain her life.

A few days ago, the base had submitted an application for a customized prosthetic body for Turan. Before making and shipping it to Tan Yi, Turan could only temporarily live in this sterile support cabin.

"Are there... any other casualties that day?" Turan asked.

"No more," Liz replied immediately, "Originally there were several other chelates who escaped together and fled separately in the underground base. But for some reason, before these chelates arrived at the border, The partition door leading to the common work area has already been dropped—so, the only people affected by this accident, besides you, are Jane and Sean."

Turan breathed a sigh of relief, "Jane... okay?"

"She is very good, almost not injured, but I haven't seen her much these days, she was arranged by the base to start special training."

"...A second awakening?"

"Correct."

Turan was a little surprised, "Didn't you say... the coalition government is asking for someone, she... can she stay?"

Liz smiled, and picked up the newspaper beside her, "Look what this is."

Turan narrowed his eyes slightly—a close-up of Hesta's portrait was printed on the cover of the newspaper, and this was the first batch of "Indomitable News" published this morning.

Suddenly Turan's heart beat violently.

The extremely ferocious Hesta on the cover reminded her of the last hunting moment.

At the moment when Hesta jumped down from the chandelier, her sharpness was enough to make all bystanders and even allies tremble.

Turan remembered that the gun was pointed not only at the eyes of the chelate, but almost at Hesta's heart.Looking back now, she couldn't even tell whether Hesta was concentrating on hunting the enemy at that time, or planning to die with the chelate.

Hesta at that moment...was completely alien.

"It is reported that someone has started to organize new demonstrations," Liz said softly, "Someone in this Tanyi Municipality has provoked disputes with very despicable means, and there will be an investigation in the core city soon The special team came to thoroughly investigate the ins and outs of the matter..."

Liz looked at Turan and said with a smile, "So, Jane won't leave for the time being... At least now, no one outside is shouting to let her out."
