Chapter 355: An Impossible Attempt
Chapter 355: An Impossible Attempt
The discussion between Mudstone and Qi Yan did not produce any results.
Mudstone didn’t know whether Qi Yan really had no solution or just didn’t want to say it. In any case, Mudstone didn’t get any news.
The days that followed were just as Qi Yan had predicted. The medical team was busy treating the wounded during the day and resting on the spot at night, listening to the infected and non-infected people in the square cursing Biederman together.
Although aftershocks still occur from time to time, the overall situation seems to be gradually improving.
During this period, some residents were killed, but they were all taken away and dealt with in time by the gendarmerie.
As the natural disaster gradually came to an end, the gendarmerie completed the counting of well-preserved buildings in the town and began to arrange for residents to return to their houses according to the list.
But the problem that Mudstone was worried about also arose.
Under the gray clouds, the anger of the infected residents is burning fiercely.
Led by several representatives, they ignored Warrenmuth's restrictions on the movement of the infected, surrounded the roofless meeting hall, and protested loudly.
"Why should the infected be driven to the edge of town, where the disaster has hit hardest? Who knows if they will suddenly become disconnected from the main body?"
"The infected also have human rights. Why should the bodies of the infected who died be thrown directly out of the town?"
"I think it's very unfair in Warrenmuth now. The leaders who make decisions are all non-infected. We demand that the infected also participate in the discussion!"
The gendarmerie lined up in front of the group of infected people. Looking at their angry faces, they were a little scared.
Even though the overall strength of the gendarmerie far exceeds that of these ordinary infected residents, no one wants to conflict with the infected.
The incident of the squad leader whose face was splashed with blood is still vivid in people's minds, and anyone who recalls it will feel fear from the bottom of their heart.
Inside the meeting room, Severin walked quickly in the open corridor, preparing to go outside to comfort the infected.
Just at the corner near the gate, he saw a figure standing silently.
"Captain Bai, are you waiting for me?" Severin stopped.
Queen White listened carefully to the noise outside for a moment before she spoke slowly:
"Why did you make this arrangement?"
"You mean the living areas and corpse disposal methods for the infected?" Severin was a little surprised. "This is the most reasonable arrangement under the current circumstances. All mobile towns and even mobile city-states will do this in emergencies.
After all, the non-infected are the majority of Leitania, their numbers far outnumber the infected, and they are easier to manage. "
"But according to Leitanian law, the infected and non-infected have equal rights. This is what you said when you were comforting the infected in the square."
The White Queen saw that Severin was eager to go out and deal with the infected, but she forced herself in front of him.
Severin couldn't help but feel a headache.
In his opinion, the White Queen's question was simply unreasonable. Even a three-year-old child would not bring up a law that was more in name than in reality.
However, he did not dare to show any impatience in front of the White Queen, and explained honestly:
“In theory, this is true, but non-infected people living in the city center is the town planning of Warrenmuth. These infected people gathered to protest just to gain greater rights and benefits in the name of natural disasters.
In theory, the town center and the edge are both safe. This is the conclusion reached by the gendarmerie and engineers after a field survey. The concerns of those infected people do not exist. "
The White Queen nodded, said nothing more, and stepped aside to make way.
Severin walked over quickly.
As the two passed each other, the White Queen suddenly spoke again:
"I thought you, a stubborn guy, really treated the infected and non-infected people the same."
Severin paused, turned his head slowly, and said firmly:
“I do treat both equally, because they are both part of Warrenmuth. For Warrenmuth, I will make necessary arrangements when necessary.”
"...You did the right thing." The White Queen said softly.
"Thank you Captain Bai for your affirmation."
Severin did not delay any longer and walked quickly out of the meeting room door.
Soon, Severin's familiar roll call was heard from outside.
The White Queen stood there, listening silently as the noise outside gradually died down and eventually turned into a speech by Severin alone.
"He is a talented person, and your idea is good, but the reality is also very cold."
A voice that could not be told whether it was a sigh or a mockery echoed in the corridor out of nowhere.
The White Queen did not respond directly to this voice, but asked:
"Have you ever tried this before, Witch King?"
"Hmph, no comment." The Witch King sneered, "If I hadn't been forced by Qi Yan's order, I would have suppressed those clamoring infected people long ago, including those non-infected people. If anyone dares to say no, I will turn them into infected people and use them to experiment with my magic!"
"You speak very nicely, keep it up."
Queen Bai said something sarcastic and turned away.
After she left, the Witch King's voice was still there, muttering to himself:
"It's just a waste of effort. That's human nature. No one can change it. Even if you join forces with Qi Yan, it will still be a waste of effort."
……
……
"Brother, I heard that Leitania stipulates that the infected enjoy the same rights as the non-infected?"
"What a load of bullshit! People infected are discriminated against everywhere. We don't even have the right to move freely in the city."
Qi Yan listened to the indignant complaints of the infected person in front of him and touched his chin.
At this moment, half a day had passed since the morning protest that surrounded the meeting hall, and the infected people had returned to their neighborhoods, but everyone still had dissatisfaction and resentment on their faces.
Qi Yan thought for a moment and asked:
"So you're holding marches and protests just to get real equal rights?"
The infected person said impatiently:
"Bullshit, we need to directly seize some of the control of Warrenmuth. Only when the infected are truly in charge can they live freely.
We must even be slightly superior to those who are not infected, so that the laws will be biased towards us, and only then can the infected be truly free."
"But I think the problem is not with the law." Qi Yan said seriously.
The infected person was stunned and looked at Qi Yan in confusion.
He remembered the white-haired Rupert, who usually followed Dr. Anto and harmed the infected and wounded all day long.
It is said that Rupert is also an infected person, but he has not had an attack of oripathy for so many days, so he should be the one with the mildest symptoms.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little sour in his tone, shaking his head and asking:
"So what do you think is the problem?"
"I'm a nurse."
Qi Yan suddenly blurted out something inexplicable.
Infected:?
Before he could react, Qi Yan slapped him, knocking his head sideways.
After the fight, Qi Yan's explanation slowly followed:
"I said you have a problem with your cervical spine, so I'll treat it for you. You're welcome."
"You special..."
Snapped!
"Your mouth is also sick." Qi Yan stared at the infected person, "Is it cured?"
The infected person covered the numb half of his face, turned one eye clockwise and the other counterclockwise, and shook his head repeatedly to indicate that he didn't dare anymore.
Seeing this, Qi Yan nodded with satisfaction, smiled again, put his arm around the other's shoulders and said:
“I think the problem is that people don’t know enough about oripathy, whether they are infected or not.
Discrimination occurs because of misunderstandings. Now, let me, Nurse Qi, give you some basic knowledge about mineralogy."
