Chapter 1465 The Day of Crying (Part 1)
January 8, 2227
7:00 in the morning
Hydra was quietly holding a book in his hand, reading. Next to him was a bowl of unfinished vegetable soup. There was still a little bit of mashed potatoes left in the fat man, including some pickled pickles.
"Hydra, if you don't want to eat, give it to me."
Hydra smiled and pushed the small plate over, but did not give the soup to the person next to him. The prisoner next to him did not eat it, but carefully put the remaining mashed potatoes and pickles into a plastic bag.
Hydra found that the man had collected a lot of leftover food. He was still collecting, but soon Hydra realized that he should be collecting it for his cousin Tony, who was in Prison No. 3 next door.
Soon the prisoners in the prison who had signed the deportation order before would be free. They would go to the Eastern Guard Station and then officially leave the city. Many serious criminals who had no future had signed the deportation order. From the moment they signed it, they were no longer citizens of the Brilliant City.
Hydra knew very well what kind of era would come next. This was just the beginning. Those who were useless to the city would be gradually expelled. This was both understandable and extremely cruel.
Hydra closed the book and drank the vegetable soup in one gulp. Then he planned to go directly to the scene to see that the door connecting prisons 1, 2, and 3 had been opened. Many prisoners ran to prison 3 to join in the fun.
No one thought that Congress would start the implementation of the expulsion law so soon, and it was unexpected that tens of thousands of prisoners signed the expulsion order. Most of them were serious criminals with sentences of more than 30 years. They would be expelled at 10 o'clock and go to the rampart area from the bridge of the eastern guard station.
Hydra strolled leisurely in the exercise yard. The prisoners around him were discussing this expulsion. Many people thought that the prisoners who signed the expulsion order were fools, because there was nothing in the rampart area. After going out, they could only starve and freeze every day. In prison, at least there was food and drink, but outside, there was nothing.
Hydra agrees with this view, but at the same time he is very disgusted. These minor criminals have no idea what the situation is like in the prison for serious criminals. Moreover, humans have always had a desire for freedom. The longer they are imprisoned in such a dark place, the more torture it is for people.
Perhaps some people can endure a life of imprisonment for ten or twenty years, but thirty or forty years are completely different. Hydra himself knows very well what it feels like. He still has seven years before he can step out of this prison.
Many people are asking Hydra why he doesn't apply for parole. As long as Hydra is willing to apply for parole, he can step out of here and return to society.
But Hydra has never had such an idea. These 30 years are like a shame branded on himself. Hydra thinks all the time that he must wait for this shameful time to disappear naturally before stepping out of this prison. Besides, the world outside has completely changed and is no longer the era that Hydra is familiar with.
It is also different from the past. Hydra has heard many newcomers tell about everything outside. Although it is somewhat similar to the past, it is completely different. In essence, it is completely different because of the civil law. The future is an era where only brains can survive.
Gradually, Hydra came to Prison No. 3. Many people were watching. The south gate of Prison No. 3 had been opened. Trucks were ready. A large number of prisoners were carrying large and small bags, as if they were going to be released from prison today.
A large number of serious criminals gathered here. Many people touched their necks. The collars would be taken off when they left.
The future barrier area will only become a headache for everyone in the city, or a headache for Section 3, and the purpose has been achieved. The barrier area seems to be a threat in the future, but in fact it is just a strategy for the whole society to be more stable and develop rapidly.
This is a common method used in human society in the past. When domestic demand is weak and the economy deteriorates, war is created through threat theory to effectively stimulate domestic demand. Factories can be fully operational, and factories can feed most people. Most people can consume when they have money. Only when they consume will there be market demand. When there is market demand, supply will start, and the entire economic market will come alive. This cycle is the smartest method that human society has followed to this day, but it is also the cruelest method.
This method is also the most effective way for humans to boost the economy. The effect of such methods was very obvious before, because a large amount of food, water, and medicine were delivered to the criminals wandering in the barrier area. These three industries are still stable.
Hydra once thought about whether there was any answer to solve these problems, but in the end there was no answer. The degree of outbreak of the problem is determined by the size. The larger the size, the longer the problem can be borne, and the smaller the size, the shorter the problem can be borne.
No system can solve the problems of human society, and the system of the mechanized era conceived by the gods can indeed solve many problems. At least human society will not collapse again and again.
Because everything will be fixed, stupid people will do what belongs to stupid people, and smart people will do what belongs to smart people. The controllers will transform from the top elites in the past to the regulation of big data and become a process. Things like human nature may Completely disappear, because the uncertainty of human nature creates social uncertainty. In the end, society will collapse after all points are unable to withstand the pressure.
Hydera found a deserted corner and quietly observed the heavy-duty criminals getting on the bus. They all looked happy, but some of them still had serious expressions. Hydera knew several of the heavy-duty criminals. Their sentences are long with little hope or end in sight.
Hydera had also talked with them in the past, and they had regretted the crimes they had committed countless times, but the laws of Brilliant City were strict, and once a serious crime was committed, there would be no chance.
Hydera looked back at the sky behind the high wall. Today's deportations are not only for these criminals, but also for other deportations. There should be no people who have fallen to level 0 after the implementation of the citizenship level. Hydera has been deported from some I got some clues from the recently admitted petty criminals, and all districts are searching for criminals.
As well as those who have participated in the riots in the past few months, this number is a large group. The number of people in the barrier area will begin to grow in the next few years, and the same is true in the city, because taxes are biased towards newborn subsidies. The proportion is very high, which can determine the city’s next general direction, which is to cultivate the younger generation.
The city's next strategic direction has been set, and no one can shake it. Hydra laughed. He walked slowly to the gate of Prison No. 3 and looked at the people who were chatting and laughing and had already started to form a team. Heavy criminals.
Weak heavy-duty criminals will definitely move closer to the stronger heavy-duty criminals. Many prisoners have formed their own small groups. This is the only way to survive in the barrier area.
Some trucks carrying heavy-duty prisoners had already begun to move. Hydera saw the light-duty criminal who had just asked for food from him. He was holding a big bag with a lot of food in it. He handed it over to a man who looked a little thin. In a man's hand.
"Brother, why do you choose to go out? You will definitely not be able to live outside."
The man who took the food shook his head.
"I'm different from you brother. You have at most three to five years before you can go out, but I still have thirty to fifty years."
The man collected the food sent by his brother, put it into his big backpack, and followed quickly. The younger brother stood quietly, looking at his brother with some sadness.
"By the way, never come back here again!"
The elder brother turned around and reminded him. The younger brother grunted and wiped away his tears. Then he nodded and waved goodbye to his elder brother who got into the truck. In Hydera's eyes, such a farewell was a farewell. The thin man thought It is too difficult to survive in the barrier zone.
Some light-duty criminals kept sending things, most of them were relatives of some heavy-duty criminals, as well as some people with whom they had good relations in the past. The truck that first sent away the heavy-duty criminals had returned.
It was almost 8 o'clock, and Hydera was waiting quietly, because all this seemed very sad to Hydera. She had the right to choose, but the way of choosing was fixed.
At this time, in the distance, Latis came with the directors of Section 11. Hydera looked over. Their expressions looked very serious. Latis seemed to be explaining something, and his expression looked very serious. Xinjian The prison tower is already beginning to take shape.
Hydra has known something about these managers over the years. They are a group of managers with enthusiasm and hope. Hydra can be sure of this. Maybe it would be better without the Hillman family, but even without the Hillman family, it would be better. Maybe the result will be the same for the Mann family, it's just a matter of sooner or later.
Hydera was also quite shocked by what happened to Alpha, but more than that, she felt regretful. Various factors finally contributed to Alpha's inhumane behavior.
This is also the only chance for the city to get on the right track, but it was determined from the beginning that this opportunity would inevitably disappear at some point in time, because the right to lie has always been the main tone of the right, and today's results are just the seeds of the past. Countless lies finally came to fruition.
And the imprint of this era will be deeply imprinted on everyone who has experienced the baptism of this era, and will eventually extend to the next era until the end of the next era.
"It's a pity! Not everyone can do this kind of thing!"
Hydra looked at Latis who was walking slowly over.
"Lord Latis."
Hydera said hello, Latis nodded slightly and walked out with a cigarette in his mouth, yelling at some noisy prisoners to obey the rules.
8:13 am
Accompanied by a burst of crying, in a public security office on the ground floor, some handcuffed people slowly entered a large lift. They were all gangsters, including some who participated in the riots a few months ago.
Many people were still pleading, but the escorting Section 3 officers ignored their appeals and just remained silent.
"I really don't dare anymore. I will definitely not be so impulsive next time. Give me a chance."
A middle-aged man said, but was quickly pushed directly into the lift by a person from Section 3. He whimpered and kept praying. Some people started making a fuss, but he was quickly pushed into the lift by a person from Section 3 nearby. The officers subdued him and threw him into the elevator.
Ma Tao looked at these people quietly, feeling a little helpless, but that was all he could do. Those who participated in the riots and caused actual harm to the city would be expelled directly. This time, 100 black households will also be expelled. They They are those who have not paid taxes for a long time and do not want to register their identity.
They have been given enough time, but many black households are still the same as before and do not intend to register their identities in Section 5. The result now is that they will be ruthlessly expelled.
The perimeter of the Public Security Management Office has been surrounded by many reporters, but Ma Tao has asked his men to guard it and not let the reporters in. However, the shouting on the street is getting stronger and stronger, and some people object to it being done so easily. Expelling some citizens, I think these people are not wrong, why should they be expelled.
Such arguments have been appearing since the list of deportees was announced yesterday, but the orders issued by above are fatal orders, and this deportation order must be strictly implemented.
"Boss, you'd better go out and take a look. The situation is not good. More and more people are gathering."
Ma Tao hummed and walked out quickly. At this time, a large number of people gathered on the street. Reporters were interviewing on the street. As soon as Ma Tao went out, a large number of people came up, and soon there was overwhelming opposition. Then it spread.
Reminiscent of last year's vote, there was only an incredible one vote difference between opponents and supporters. Most people in the city were opposed to such an eviction. Ma Tao immediately signaled that his men should form a human wall and evacuate the people first. Ma Tao didn't want some riots to happen again, and he would have to take responsibility when the time came.
At this time, Ma Tao caught a glimpse of a dirty little girl in the crowd, with tangled hair and a lot of dirt on her face. The original white clothes had turned dark. Ma Tao often You will see this little girl.
Looking at the crowded crowd, Ma Tao still walked over, then pulled the little girl over from the crowd, and squatted in front of her with a smile. The little girl looked like a wanderer and looked very thin.
"Little sister, you come here often. Are your parents in there?"
Ma Tao asked, and the little girl shook her head, opening her mouth but unable to speak. Ma Tao pulled the little girl helplessly.
"I'll take you to a nearby orphanage later."
The little girl shook her head. She opened her mouth but still couldn't make a sound in her throat. She was gesturing and saying something.
It took Ma Tao a long time to understand that it was brother.
"Is your brother in there?"
The little girl nodded, and Ma Tao led him into the management office. The little girl started to look around. Ma Tao quickly brought up the light and shadow panel and after facial recognition, he quickly found the identity of the little girl. After browsing the information quickly for a while, Ma Tao helplessly held the hat and pressed it down.
This little girl's name is Tian Ai. She was the victim of the previous murder of the rich man. Her brother Tian Hen was arrested a month ago and has been included in the target of deportation because he is a fugitive.
During the prison riots last year, many prisoners escaped from the prison. After that, the administrative department was in a hurry to track down these prisoners. Some escaped prisoners fled to commit crimes. In the end, the administrative department issued an ultimatum, asking these fugitives to surrender themselves. As a result, very few of them surrendered. However, the deadline was in June last year. Anyone who passes the deadline will be dealt with according to the expulsion law.
Ma Tao walked over with Tian Ai, and after talking to several team leaders, they entered the lift.
"Tianhen, come out!"
Tian Hen, who was sitting among a group of people, raised his head. There were obvious scars on his face, which were the scars left when he resisted arrest.
Tian Hen lived a life of confusion throughout last year. He only dared to go out at night, help some gang members do some shameful things, then get some money, buy some food and then secretly return to where he lived. My sister is much older now, very sensible and well-behaved, waiting for me to come back every day.
It's a pity that after being arrested last month, Tian Hen knew that he would be deported if he didn't surrender. His pleading after his arrest had no effect. The business department ignored him at all. Tian Hen continued to work every day He was saying that he had a younger sister outside who needed someone to take care of him, but no one paid any attention to him.
The torture in the past few days has made Tianhen almost collapse. He is not afraid of being expelled. The only thing he is afraid of is that his sister has no one to take care of him.
The moment Tianhen stepped out of the lift, Tianhen's eyes widened and his eyes suddenly became moist. He looked at his sister Tianai who was running towards him in the distance.
Tian Ai hugged Tian Hen and showed a happy smile. Ma Tao signaled and asked several staff members to take the brother and sister to a nearby place. Then he walked over in person and watched the pair about to part ways. brother and sister.
Ma Tao knew very well that Tian Hen, who was already on the deportation list, would be deported. No matter how tragic and pitiful his past was, the final result would not change.
Ma Tao just hopes that the two brothers and sisters can stay for a while. The people who are expelled here will be sent to the Western Guard Station later. Ma Tao doesn’t know what to say. At this moment, Ma Tao misses the place where Alpha is. era.
In the past, Section 5 had a cleanup plan for gangsters. They would arrest these gangsters and find out their identities and residences. Then they would be forced to work in the Agriculture Section for two years and finally obtain their identities. But this plan had not yet started. Due to such a major change, this plan has now been put on hold.
The newly appointed section chief, Tamai, has been busy working on the economy. There is nothing he can do about it, because the public security in various parts of the city is getting worse and worse, because the economy is getting worse and worse.
"Boss, it's almost done. We need to send these people as soon as possible. They still have to receive supplies. By then..."
Ma Tao walked over slowly.
"time to go."
As he spoke, the two clerks next to him pulled Tian Hen up, but at this time Tian Hen hugged Tian Hen's waist tightly and refused to let go at all. Tian Hen looked at the ground in a daze, watching what was being done to him. Separated sister, he didn't know what he had done in these years and why it ended up like this.
Seeing his sister crying and dragging him desperately, she didn't want to be separated from him. The same was true for Tian Hen. He sobbed quietly and shed tears silently.
"Can I...can I take my sister with me?"
Tianhen raised his head, his face already wet with tears. Ma Tao was a little surprised, but he didn't know what to say at this time.
"You can't feed such a young child. I will send him to a good orphanage."
Ma Tao said, Tianhen laughed.
"If you leave her here, she will die!"
Tianhen gritted his teeth angrily and roared.
"It's the same no matter where you go. In this city, in the barrier zone, there won't be any difference at all."
Ma Tao looked at Tian Hen in a daze, he didn't know what to do, but the little girl was holding her brother tightly and sobbing, unable to make a sound from her throat.
"This can only go so far!"
Finally Ma Tao nodded.
"Good luck to you boy!"
Ma Tao felt uncomfortable looking at the two brothers and sisters being taken away, but he couldn't say anything or do anything. Just like what this young man said, it was the same no matter where he was.
Ma Tao pressed the brim of his hat and pressed down. At this time, Tianhen stopped and turned around.
"thanks, thanks!"
Tianhen bowed, turned around and walked away. Ma Tao hummed and smiled bitterly.
"You are very courageous young man. You may not change in the future, but at least you will give some chances to those who are brave! I hope so!"
9 a.m.
Located on the city wall of the eastern guard station, Osman quietly looked at the criminals below who were about to be expelled. Most of the criminals who had received supplies for a month were already standing at the gate.
"No matter how you look at the result, it won't change. It's windy here, so you'd better go down and rest."
A gentle female voice came, and Osman looked over. It was his wife Zijuan holding her 2-year-old daughter.
Osman coughed a few times and nodded. Osman's injuries have not healed yet. It is impossible to recover. It is a miracle that Osman can survive. With his already strong mutant body, he can still continue to support him, but not Know how long it can last and how long it will last.
"Take your daughter down and don't let Zi Yu'er see this."
Zijuan smiled and shook her head.
"There's nothing we shouldn't look at. If we want the city's economy to improve, we have to hit it hard."
Osman smiled bitterly. He didn't know what to say. He opened this breakthrough by himself and provided supplies to the criminals in the barrier area without considering any consequences.
"Do you regret it?"
Osman neither nodded nor shook his head.
"Because of your decision, the three subjects as a whole now have meaning. There is nothing we can do about it. That's it. There is no need to trace the root cause or right or wrong, because it is meaningless! "
Zijuan said, dragging Osman and planning to take him back to the room. His health was very poor, but he still insisted on working every day, but she didn't know how long this situation would last. Zijuan had already persuaded Osman to go home and recuperate. But Osman did not agree.
Zijuan knew that Osman had been blaming himself, not just Osman, but everyone was blaming themselves. Obviously everyone saw many problems, but in the end, Alpha independently completed them and bore all the consequences.
"The problems we can't solve can be left to the next generation, Osman."
As Zijuan said, Osman finally turned around. He walked to the city wall on the other side, and white particles floated in his eyes. Soon Osman saw Ling Hong standing on the edge of the bridge in the distance. She was alone. Standing by the bridge, smoking silently.
More and more prisoners lined up in a row after receiving supplies, waiting for the gate to open at 10 o'clock. Many prisoners looked very happy, but some prisoners were a little sad.
These prisoners even had the idea of repenting, and some prisoners also talked to the members of Section 3 next to them.
"Sir, can you regret it? I don't want to go out, so let me go back to prison."
"You've signed everything, and it's impossible to go back."
Most prisoners who asked if they could repent received cold answers.
Some reporters who were allowed in were already filming and conducting interviews, and multiple channels across the city would broadcast the entire process of the eviction.
Osman returned to his office. He no longer thought about the expulsion. He sat at the desk, coughed and started to process some documents, but Osman found that most of the documents had been processed by Zijuan. , all that is left are some insignificant documents.
"I don't need your help, I..."
Looking at his wife playing happily with his daughter, Osman didn't say anything, just watched silently. This era has ended. Today's expulsion will make the era end completely. The previous era only exists in the minds of most people who still remember it.
Osman still remembers that when he first went to the Academy of God, his parents were workers. Originally, his parents planned to let Osman work with them, but in the selection of the Academy of God, Osman seized the opportunity and his fate has been changed since then.
"No matter what era, Osman is not without opportunities. You just need to know this."
Zijuan muttered, Osman did not answer, turned around and came to the window, quietly watching the situation below, Linghong stood at the gate, and she would open the gate herself later.
This is very important for Linghong. Recently, the system of the special inspection team of the barrier area of Section 3 has begun to be implemented. Linghong has brought out a large number of special inspectors to conduct inspection activities in the barrier area. They will notify Section 3 in advance of some dangerous armed forces, and Section 3 will deal with them according to the degree of threat.
"Oh, by the way, husband, when Zi Yu'er is 5 years old, I will send her to the All-Domain Academy. I have already made an agreement with King Xue."
"So soon?"
Zi Juan laughed.
"After all, we have to let her grow up quickly, so that you and I can relax and help mom and dad solve problems. How about it, Xiao Yu'er?"
Zi Yu'er smiled and nodded, and Zi Juan stroked her daughter's head with relief.
"It will get better in the future!"
