The Witch's Taste

Chapter 292 Start thinking about cheating

Bridge of the Forever, command room.

Tsukimiya Suzuna was sitting in an armchair, looking at the large screen nearly three meters high in front of her. On each screen, there was a massive waterfall of information scrolling.

Normally, such a huge amount of ship operation data requires a team of more than a dozen senior pilots to coordinate and process it, but the "Forever" is an exception.

To be precise, it has its own "brain" and "nerve cells".

The Zetas, who live in metal structures, process this information as easily as eating and drinking, without any extra help from humans.

After staring at the news for a moment, Tsukimiya Suzuna suddenly sighed.

Chen Xiaozhu sat in the rocking chair behind her, silently dazed, without making any response.

"Xiao Zhu," Tsukimiya Suzuna said quietly, "I'm still worried."

"Tell me, will something happen if the two of them are in Jibei City?"

Before Chen Xiaozhu could answer, she started talking to herself again:

"Maybe I'm overthinking it. Senior is here to save people, not to fall in love. It's not like Xia Zili helped him and the relationship between the two warmed up." ? If you want to put it this way, I have helped my seniors more... After all, I provided such a big ship, and you are also marrying me if you want to marry me, right?"

"Oh, I'm quite stupid." Suzuna Tsukimiya hugged her legs and curled up on the chair. "When I was running behind, I was worried because I couldn't catch up with my love rival in front; now I'm running at the front. And I’m always afraid because I’m worried about being caught up by someone behind me.”

"Perhaps I am born with this kind of fearful temperament. Even if one day I get my wish and marry my senior smoothly, I will always be afraid that he will be hooked up with his mistress after marriage... In the end, I should still get rid of that in advance. Kill the two sisters, eradicate the roots, once and for all, are you right, Xiaozhu?"

Chen Xiaozhu ignored her.

"Ah, ah, it's so annoying!" Suzuna Tsukimiya crossed her slender legs and yelled with abandon, "I have to call senior now! Right now!"

She tapped a few times on the keyboard, directly activated the starship communication system, and started calling the planet's surface.

"Hello!" The call came through quickly, and Chen Ziang was heard yelling, "What's wrong!"

His voice was mixed in the heavy rain and could not be heard clearly. There were even sporadic gunshots in the distance.

"Uh... Senior, are you okay?" Tsukimiya Suzuna actually felt relieved after hearing the sound of the heavy rain. After all, who would fall in love in such a harsh environment, "We need space. Will you provide support?"

"No!" Chen Ziang continued to yell, "Contact me if you need anything!"

"Okay." Suzuna Tsukimiya hung up the phone and let out a long breath.

I'm relieved to hear that you guys are very busy over there.

She turned her attention back to the screen and got back to work.The Forever can theoretically carry tens of millions of people, but the passenger capacity is a natural bottleneck. Even if all the troop carriers and cargo ships on the ship are put into transportation and people are pulled to the ship 24 hours a day, it is estimated that it will only be 10,000 people a day. + shipping volume.

I still have to find a way to rent a boat at the Star Port... Well, I need to get Hehua's parents quickly and ask her to negotiate with the boat owners on my behalf.

------------

The Shinjuku District Sheriff's Office in Jiboku City has become a temporary base for the rescue team.

Although I am returning to my old workplace, I don’t feel much regret.Because heavy rain poured down all the time, it brought great trouble to the rescue operation.

As natural disasters really followed the rumors, the vast majority of residents who had no choice but to go to Starport chose to take refuge at home or at work, but this did not mean that there were no people on the streets outside - due to the military All the manpower of the police and the police department were withdrawn. Many gangsters took the opportunity to use various crude homemade weapons and formed groups to raid the shopping streets from house to house, looting all the goods they could see.

There were also people who planned to rob the soldiers' vehicles. After three or four people were killed by bullets, the remaining gangsters also fled in panic. "They will come back." Chen Ziang frowned and said.

"Why?" Xia Zili asked in confusion.

"Because the people currently stranded in Jibei City have basically confirmed the existence of a 'natural disaster'." Chen Ziang sighed and said, "Our group is obviously the military, and the military has collectively evacuated to the star port before, so these What would the gangsters think?”

"They will definitely want to get a means of escaping into space from us." Xia Zili said thoughtfully, "But they don't have guns, right?"

"When people face a survival crisis, they can explode with strength and wisdom far beyond their own." Chen Ziang said cautiously, "We should prepare in advance and don't be careless."

"Zili, ask them to renovate the defense facilities near the base, and arrange for manpower on duty to ensure that there are people standing guard around the perimeter 24 hours a day... Visibility is low due to the heavy rain outside, so beware of anyone taking the opportunity to climb over the wall and get in."

Xia Zili nodded, turned around and quickly gave instructions.

Sure enough, as Chen Ziang expected, as soldiers successively picked up the experts on the list who were stranded in Jibei City from nearby universities and residential areas, the location of the Shinjuku District Sheriff's Department was quickly tracked by the gangsters who were following the convoy. What they discovered.

Sporadic gangsters kept trying to use the cover of heavy rain to climb over the wall and rush into the park. They were all shot and killed by the sentries on guard without hesitation - every time a person was killed, the enemies outside would calm down for a while. , but in the end they will send people over again without giving up.

"How about I take the initiative to go out and find them and kill them all." Xia Zili couldn't bear the disturbance and said irritably, "They are all criminals anyway, right?"

"They are not necessarily criminals." Chen Ziang sighed, "I just went to see the corpses, and some of them showed signs of being beaten."

"You mean, they are ordinary people who were coerced by gangsters?" Xia Zili asked with a frown.

"Maybe." Chen Zi'ang shook his head, "It's just that in today's doomsday environment, it is too easy to switch between bandits and civilians, and there is no point in worrying about identity."

"Zili, did you encounter a similar situation in your previous life?"

Xia Zili was startled when she heard this, and then whispered:

"In the previous life... after the natural disaster broke out, we stayed in Jibei City for about a week before the military came to rescue us."

"At that time, the Takamagahara military suffered heavy losses in the sudden natural disaster because they did not evacuate to the star port collectively. Thanks to my sister's relationship, we were finally able to take refuge in the military's quarantine area, and then some gangsters did try to raid the quarantine area. , but because of the crude weapons, it’s basically impossible to break in.”

"later……"

"What happened after that?"

"Later they spread the news and incited a large number of people to block in front of the quarantine area." Xia Zili recalled, "The military fired shots to drive them away, but it had no effect. They could only let them block the door."

"In the end, the rescue starship landed, and the people outside began to rush in with all their lives... I remember that many people died, but some people did manage to rush in, and finally left Gaotianyuan with us in the starship."

"In this way." Chen Ziang said thoughtfully, "We may have to face the same situation."

Due to the existence of the Forever, a heavyweight ship, and the fact that some people evacuated to the star port in advance, the critical situation Chen Ziang faced now was actually much better than at the same time in his previous life.

Although more people can be rescued and taken away than in the previous life, "it is not about the scarcity but the inequality." As long as there is no way to save everyone, those abandoned people will not sit still and wait for death, and they will definitely come and fight you desperately.

In order to get people to give up taking desperate risks, other than using absolute violence to suppress bloody and cruel crimes, is there a simpler solution?
For example, always let people see hope?

…Even if it’s a false, disguised hope?

　When I opened the book before, I said that the male protagonist this time was a character who abides by justice, but I never said that he was an honest person.In fact, everyone can also see that in the world view and background of this book, honest people will definitely not live long, so the character of the male protagonist also needs to be changed, from rigid procedural justice to gradual transition to consequential justice. .As long as more people can survive, it doesn't matter what means are used in the process. This is also the necessary ability and quality for any person in power to manage their power.
