Chapter 349 Loving your own life is the best resistance
When the middle-aged man saw Logos's actions, his eyes suddenly widened and fear filled his face.
Golden runes bloomed from the tip of the bone pen.
"Wait a moment!"
A loud shout suddenly came from a distance, interrupting Logos' actions.
Logos turned his head and saw an Elafian man in military uniform and with antlers on his head walking quickly towards him.
When the members of the military police saw the newcomers, they all saluted in unison:
"Commander Severin, you are finally here."
Even the infected people calmed down a little when they saw Severin, and it was obvious that they respected Severin very much.
"What happened?" Severin arrived at the scene, exhausted, and asked with a frown.
The deputy captain of the gendarmerie immediately stepped forward and briefly explained the situation.
After learning what happened, Severin's expression was obviously a little ugly.
He anticipated that order would be in chaos under the natural disaster, and that there would definitely be friction between the infected and the non-infected, but he never thought that both sides would be so impulsive as to take direct action, or even engage in the worst possible act of trying to infect others.
Severin turned his head to look at Logos and said politely:
"Thank you sir for preventing the conflict from evolving. Can you let me handle it from now on?"
"nature."
Logos put away the bone pen and moved aside.
Severin nodded in thanks and walked up to the middle-aged man. His expression was complicated, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking.
"Allenby, I remember you, you were the craftsman who lived in the twelve-tone neighborhood."
The middle-aged man didn't expect that a big shot like Severin would know him, and a hint of flattery and awkwardness flashed across his face.
Severin ignored Allenby's change of expression and continued:
“To be honest, you are a good craftsman, but you are a little too lazy and have wasted your talent.
I always see you at various parades for infected people, and you always say that your life is difficult. But after my investigation, is your difficult life really because of your identity as an infected person? "
"You..." Allenby's facial muscles twitched, and he said with all his strength, "Otherwise, I feel discrimination all the time, discrimination from those who are not infected!"
"No, you're lying."
Severin's tone suddenly rose: "You inherited your father's craftsman shop, but you were too lazy to run it. Instead, you sold it for some money and spent all your time in the tavern.
During those days you never claimed that you were discriminated against, until all your money was squandered and you suddenly started participating in the marches of infected people, hoping that the government would increase subsidies for infected people.
Your life is so bad just because of your laziness. I am sure that if you were not infected, you would not even be able to receive government subsidies and you would have become a homeless person long ago! "
Severin did not take any action, but his words were like a heavy punch, knocking Allenby so hard that he staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Severin gave him a disgusted look, then turned his gaze toward the infected.
He ignored the pain in his lungs and spoke loudly:
“Everyone, I believe you all know my name, Severin, and I hope you can listen to me calmly.
In Warrenmuth, although you are all infected, have you ever heard of non-infected people bullying the infected and getting away with it?
Have you ever had your reasonable appeal to the government rejected because you were infected?
No! I, Severin, can guarantee with my head that this kind of thing will never happen in Warrenmuth!"
Having said this, he finally couldn't hold on any longer and bent over and started coughing violently.
The infected people looked at each other, and for the first time, they showed signs of hesitation.
The only sound that could be heard in the entire square was Severin's suppressed cough.
A golden rune merged into Severin's body, helping him suppress the discomfort in his body.
But the expression of Logos, who made the move, changed slightly, as if he had discovered something.
Severin quickly looked at Logos, with a hint of pleading in his eyes.
Logos nodded slightly, signaling Severin to rest assured.
Seeing this, Severin straightened up again and continued to speak to the infected people:
“Everyone, please give me some trust. I am not only responsible for you, but also for those non-infected residents.
On my way here, I have contacted all the rescue organizations I could find in the city, and many of them have expressed their willingness to provide rescue...even if they are not infected.
Do you know why those doctors were willing to come forward?"
The infected people shook their heads.
"Because they are kind, but the more important reason is your efforts, the positive life spirit of the vast majority of infected residents in Warrenmuth, and your tenacity in loving life despite the hardships. These are the reasons why they are willing to believe in everyone who lives in Warrenmuth."
Severin bowed slightly, and said in a pleading tone: "They are willing to help everyone, please try your best to protect them."
The infected people were all somewhat moved.
They never thought that Severin had actually been paying attention to them, the infected people.
They never thought that there would be non-infected people willing to lend them a helping hand.
The originally noisy and chaotic situation finally returned to order under Severin's soothing.
Severin turned his head and signaled the gendarmerie to take away the pale-looking Allenby, and continued to organize the rescue of the wounded. He himself took two steps back, walked to the edge of the area, lit a cigarette, and silently maintained order at the scene.
Mudstone and Logos looked at each other, then they both left the square and came to Severin's side.
"Thank you for your help." Severin smiled when he saw the two of them coming over. "If it weren't for you, the situation would have gotten completely out of control before I arrived. In that case, even if I arrived at the scene, I would be powerless to save the situation and would have had to resort to violence to suppress it."
Logos shook his head and said, "Commander Severin is being modest. With the reputation you have shown, the situation will not get completely out of control."
Mudstone also echoed:
"Now that the most difficult time has passed, we just need to deal with the aftermath of the natural disaster, and the situation will get better and better."
Facing the positive outlook of the two, Severin himself sighed lightly, looking unhappy:
“I just picked out some good things to temporarily appease the infected, but discrimination still exists.
I am very worried that the conflict will break out again, and I won’t be able to stop it with just a few words. The emotional rebound of the infected will be enough to destroy the current precarious order. "
Faced with Severin's concerns, Mudstone was also affected, and his mood, which had just been lifted, fell into depression again.
Logos, however, remains optimistic:
“I don’t think we need to worry about this. There is a special person active in Warrenmuth right now. In my opinion, he will stir up a lot of trouble before the conflict between the two sides breaks out.
As long as both sides have no intention to discriminate and fight against each other, there will naturally be no conflict. "
Severin:?
Why didn't he feel comforted at all after listening to these words of comfort?
Before Severin could ask who that special person was and what they were doing, a medical rescue team in white coats successfully arrived at the scene outside the square, causing cheers from all the residents in the square.
Amid the cheers, a certain white-haired Luper in a spotless white coat shouted louder than anyone else in the square:
"Get out of the way, everyone, get out of the way. I, Qi Xiaobai, have successfully become a medical operator today!
Don't be afraid, I have a very good relationship with the King of Hell, I guarantee that no one here will die from mineral sickness!"
