Chapter 231 Diary X Riot

Originally, Xiao Jian was just strolling around to eat, but then he heard the crying at the edge of the fog, so he wandered over.

At first, he thought some stray people had joined in...

After all, the experiences of these individual people were indeed extremely tragic, and they supported each other through the most dangerous moments.

If they had been in such a high-pressure state, maybe they could continue to persist, but after being merged into the fortress town, no matter how strong these individuals were, they would often vent the pressure accumulated in the past.

Generally speaking, this way of venting stress is for everyone, regardless of gender or age, to hug each other and cry.

As for what happens next?

Those small groups of more than a dozen people are okay. If it is an ultra-small world fragment with only a few people, then these people will either form an extremely strong family.

It doesn't have to be a family between men and women, but the kind of half-brothers and half-sisters.

Or, they might simply stop having contact with each other.

It is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes than to help each other.

Everyone gathered together to cry bitterly, and then happily welcomed the new baby.

These are the main themes.

Xiao Jian originally thought it would be the same this time, but when he separated from everyone and came to the place where the cries were gathering the most, he didn't find any survivors...

In the fragment of the world that had just been incorporated into Fortress Town, there was a small zombie, probably only five or six years old.

Next to the zombie, there was a complete skeleton lying.

Judging from the body shape and pelvis, it should have been a female.

Scattered next to the female skeleton are some thicker male bones with obvious signs of being eaten.

After seeing this scene, Xiao Jian vaguely sketched out farces and intrigues in his mind...

However, things were not as complicated as he thought, because there was a diary next to the female skeleton.

A petite lady was holding the diary and reading it to others.

Whenever I read about some important decisions, the people watching will burst into tears.

The story is simple.

In a family at the end of the world, the father killed himself in despair and used his body to continue the hope of the mother and daughter.

Then there's the mother.

Finally, at the end of the diary, the mother asked in a very calm tone that if someone discovered them, they must not kill her daughter, but must save her daughter.

But the problem is...their daughter has long since turned into a zombie, and it is also a highly infectious zombie.

Xiao Jian took a special look at the attributes of this zombie. The attack, defense, and blood were only 0, 0, and 2 respectively. However, this little zombie had a very special characteristic in the attribute column:

[Mother] is an excellent breeding ground for zombie viruses. The concentration of viruses in body fluids increases by 1000%, and the probability of infection after contact with body fluids increases by 500%.

Xiao Jian silently looked at the little girl who was fixed in place by the iron chain.

She is weak, but her eyes are sharp, and she even dares to look directly at Xiao Jian, and when Xiao Jian checks her monster card, she will make a threatening whine.

Apparently, the couple's sacrifice only came in exchange for a huge risk.

"...She is so young, how could she be in danger!"

"But she's infected!"

"I know, but aren't we all safe now? Why can't we take this opportunity to study and see if we can cure her?"

"..."

Next to Xiao Jian, the chatter in the crowd became louder and louder.

Maybe it's because of the mother's last wish, maybe it's because the zombie girl's small appearance is very deceiving.

But whatever the reason, public sympathy is developing towards overflowing...

This is not a good sign.

Xiao Jian frowned slightly and looked back around.

As a result, there were only some staff here, and neither Zhang Weidong nor Zhang Jinyu was nearby.

It's fair to think that the remnants of this world fragment being merged into the fortress town happen dozens of times every day. If the person in charge stays here all the time, there won't be anything else to do.

After making sure that there was no one else around who could take care of things, Xiao Jian sighed, and then said:

"The concentration of zombie virus in her body is 10 times that of ordinary zombies. She can easily be infected if she stands too close."

Xiao Jian didn't read out all the characteristics of the [Matrix]. After all, all he wanted was the result... Sometimes saying it was too complicated could cause communication barriers, so just tell them the consequences.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the crowd that had been gathering closer and closer dispersed in a large area with a "hurrah".

"Who are you?" Among them, the lady who read out the diary looked at Xiao Jian with an unfriendly expression.

Xiao Jian had seen her before. If he guessed correctly, she should be a new immigrant.

After all, there were only a few people in Fortress Town originally? As more and more world fragments are merged, the population here gradually becomes more complex.

"A kind-hearted passerby." Xiao Jian shrugged.

"Then what qualifications do you have...Eh? Why are you dragging me along?" The lady wanted to say something, but was suddenly dragged away by the man next to her.

"Sorry, I just told her...she has a straight temper, don't mind."

The man apologized politely to Xiao Jian, then dragged the woman away, then leaned into her ear and started whispering.

"Don't drag me! I'm going to tell him!"

"I don't care about that, I just want to save the child..."

"God? Are you kidding!? Where are the gods in this world? Get out of here, I want..."

"..."

However, no matter how the lady struggled, the man kept dragging her away from Xiao Jian.

As the series of noises became farther and farther away, Xiao Jian suddenly found himself the focus of the whole scene.

Everyone was looking at him, even the staff were looking at Xiao Jian, as if waiting for his decision.

"Why are you looking at me? Go find Zhang Weidong..." Xiao Jian said with a smile.

"Yes! Lord God!"

The guard who was seen by Xiao Jian deliberately shouted loudly, then saluted in a standard way, and then turned and ran away.

When he shouted like this, the group of survivors surrounding him suddenly exploded.

"What... God!?"

"Is he the one?"

"Why did I hear that gods have wings?"

"It must be right, I know the man who just ran away, he is a 20th-level awakener! Very powerful! Since he said it, it must be right..."

20th level, that is, 20 attribute cards have been used?

No wonder his attributes are much higher than others, he is an elite.

But the problem is... his roar has left Xiao Jian in the cold, as if he is a rare species surrounded by these new immigrants.

"Lord God is so handsome!"

"Don't be a fangirl..."

"Why does this god look a little... a little..."

"... ordinary?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"..."

The discussion around them became louder and louder, and the crowd that was originally crying for other people's stories was attracted by the "god" in a blink of an eye.

It seems that no matter how tragic the story is, as long as it happens to others, it is just a story - it's just a zombie, how can it be as rare as a "god"?

If the mother who wrote the diary knew about it, she would not know what she would think when she learned that her deeds and sacrifices quickly lost attention like the story of Xianglin Sao.

But at least for the Fortress Town, this is a good thing.

After all, once such a mass incident occurs, behavior cannot be guided by purely rational judgment...

Because the people can easily empathize and eventually point the finger at the ruling class.

To put it simply, this "ruling class" can refer to Xiao Jian, Zhang Weidong, Zhang Jinyu and other management.

Similarly, this "ruling class" can also be expanded to all the soldiers in the Fortress Town.

If Xiao Jian and even the soldiers really enjoyed the benefits of the ruling class, it would be fine, but now the foreign invasion has not been resolved, let alone enjoying it, even Xiao Jian is just mutually beneficial to the Fortress Town...even he has invested more than he has received.

Not to mention those soldiers, there are a lot of benefits without responsibilities.

After swallowing so many world fragments and populations in one gulp, the Fortress Town was already in a weak running-in period. At this time, if some differences are not handled well, it is easy to cause rifts among the people.

Just when Xiao Jian was getting more and more anxious, Zhang Weidong came.

And he also brought a team of soldiers and scientific researchers wearing full-body protective clothing.

"For everyone's safety, please spread out a little... just step back about ten meters!"

"Don't worry, we already know your concerns, so we even brought the testing equipment..."

Zhang Weidong said, and the two soldiers behind him put a huge machine on the ground.

Then, the soldiers and researchers skillfully went to take samples from the little zombie.

Seeing that the crowd around had settled down and their attention was refocused on the little zombie girl, Xiao Jian finally breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Zhang Weidong and said:

"I tell you, be careful not to intensify the conflict..."

"I know, don't worry! Watch us!"

Zhang Weidong patted his chest, looking full of confidence.

After the group of soldiers in protective clothing held down the struggling little zombie and took blood samples from it, the researchers got busy.

After setting the parameters and sending the samples into the machine, the machine on the ground soon issued a warning beep.

After a short study, the leading researcher came out and took out an electric speaker facing the "audience" who were mostly new immigrants:

"Friends, after our test, the virus concentration in this little girl is extremely high and highly contagious, and has reached a high-risk level."

"Look at the indicator light here. This is the detection reading of bioenergy. For the corpse, you can simply understand it as a danger index..."

"Everyone come and see, remember these numbers..."

The researcher kept communicating with the people around him, and audiences kept coming up to join in the fun.

After a good comfort, the researcher took out a card directly.

"Now, I'm going to summon an ordinary zombie as a reference. Don't be afraid."

After saying that, the monster card in the researcher's hand turned into a zombie.

"Ah-"

"Ah-"

"..."

Although the researcher had already reminded them, the sudden appearance of the zombie still made everyone drop their jaws.

After all, they are new immigrants. The zombies have disappeared for a long time, but the fear caused by the zombies to them is difficult to make up for in a short time.

As for why they were not afraid of the little zombie girl before... maybe it was because of the diary? Maybe the little zombie was not so rotten?

Who knows, after all, they are human beings, and it is inevitable that there will be all kinds of strange double-standard behaviors.

The researcher seemed to be used to it. He directly followed the previous process, took samples from this ordinary zombie again, and input them into the instrument.

Sure enough, the number was much smaller.

After seeing the reading, the researcher nodded to the soldier in protective clothing next to him.

Then, the soldier drew out the long knife he carried with him...

"Buzz——"

I don't know what function he activated, the long knife suddenly glowed with golden light! And on the blade spine, several golden runes also lit up!

"Puff! Puff!"

The long knife warrior in protective clothing killed the ordinary zombie with two clean and neat knives, and then calmly sheathed the knife in the white mist formed by the zombie.

Such a clean and neat killing made the scene quiet.

After the show of force, the researcher walked up leisurely, pointed to the reading on the instrument and said:

"Do you remember the number just now? Now everyone come and take a look... 1 digit is the level that a normal zombie should have!"

"Come on, everyone come and take a look!"

"..."

It is not known whether the "show of force" just now worked, or whether the ironclad facts awakened everyone's rationality.

In short, the emotions of the new immigrants gradually subsided, and they lined up in a long line to "visit" the new reading on the instrument.

After such an intuitive numerical comparison, most people present understood the danger of the little zombie, and there was no objection to the researcher's suggestion of humane destruction.

After all, it was they who let the zombie stay and endured the risk of life - they did not think that the fortress town soldiers who could kill the zombie with two knives would be in danger.

After a rational choice, the fate of the little zombie was naturally determined.

Humane destruction, then cremation with the bones of her parents, and finally reburial together, buried in this small fragment of the world where they lived.

Xiao Jian was obviously just a spectator, but due to his status as a "god", he had to accompany the whole process.

Fortunately, after this foreshadowing, the public trial in the evening went more smoothly.

First, several women who had been harassed by Bai Mao in the "high-rise world" personally accused him.

They tearfully recounted Bai Mao's mental control and atrocities...

In addition, Zhang Jinyu finally came forward and stated that Bai Mao often made anti-social remarks and used skills and attacked law enforcement officers in the safe zone without authorization. The general meeting also agreed with the judgment of the temporary court.

Amid Bai Mao's incompetent roar, the temporary court found Bai Mao guilty and sentenced him to exile, which was to be executed immediately.

Xiao Jian stepped forward, gestured to everyone, picked up the tied Bai Mao and disappeared.
