No.
Perhaps fighting with one’s back against the wall, and he wouldn’t have to die at all.
Li Chang’an always proclaimed it was for the base, right? Then let her see how far he can sacrifice.
...
The base now consists of survivors struggling out of difficult living conditions. Since the government gave orders, everyone immediately went without delay.
The entire city square was densely packed with people. If the big screens around hadn’t simultaneously broadcast the situation on the stage, newcomers would not know who was up there and what they were doing.
It once resembled a concert passionately embraced by ten thousand people.
And under the gaze of all eyes, Song You’s face appeared on the big screen. Lei Yu, dressed in military uniform, was meticulously listing her charges one by one at this moment.
[Song You, female, 26 years old, temporary resident of Red Star 24 Base, on the day she entered the base, she used her superpower to attract a swarm of flying insects to attack... Refused to resist, fled in fear of her crimes...]
The charges were quite clear. Chu River was arranged in the front row, simply listening, recalling the miserable situation where she almost became a fool when she woke up, and at this moment, her fist hardened.
Not to mention the increasingly boiling voices below.
"Damn it..."
Men and women, adults and children, none could tolerate such a sinner.
What are flying insects? Three years of catastrophe, why didn’t they dare to plant even a single bean sprout? When eating a cabbage, they wished to chew even the roots thoroughly... because they feared the flying insects.
Throughout the base, plans came and went, many sacrificed on the battlefield. Clean freaks who used to bathe three times a day before the disaster now can go a month without washing their hair...
The lollipops rewarded by the logistics base to residents with significant contributions have expired for two years and four months.
— Is this a life worth living?
The babies at home have never tasted a sip of formula from birth to now, their bones are frail, heads large, bodies small, relying entirely on current technology to survive.
— Is this the 21st century?
And the woman on stage... this woman...
No one doubted this was a wrongful charge because the large screens on all sides faithfully reproduced her expression.
There was guilt, unease, as well as pride and defiance.
But solely lacking was remorse.
Lei Yu’s voice echoed through the microphone in everyone’s ears, and after a brief clamour below, everyone grew increasingly silent.
The atmosphere stagnated as if caught in a force field.
Even Chu River, who was always carefree, tensed her body at this moment.
She was determined— if they decided to sentence Song You to a death penalty in this public trial, she would immediately take the stage and crush that disgusting little head of hers.
However, the disgusting skull is revolting, of course not merely due to an ugly appearance, but also a more repulsive mind.
When Lei Yu finished detailing all these charges, Song You took a deep breath and stepped forward—
For this appearance, a miniature bomb had been implanted in her brain.
Li Chang’an warned her, the bomb was always in an active state. Although she could evade, if she didn’t receive a signal within three minutes, her brain might just blow apart.
After all, these days, everyone kept her stuck on the experiment table not without yielding some research.
Song You simply lacked any ability, she dared not gamble on the chance of returning to her space after the bomb exploded...
Therefore, she confessed guilt honestly at this moment.
But, admitting guilt is admitting guilt, facing the crowd’s deep hatred-filled eyes, she seemed oblivious, just slightly raised her hand, and a heap of red apples rolled across the stage.
Judging by the quantity, it must be over a thousand, nearly filling the entire stage.
The sweet fragrance of the fruits was so overpowering that everyone couldn’t help but close their eyes, taking a deep breath.
Song You was extremely satisfied.
She smiled and watched some folks in the front row constantly moving towards the heap of apples, feeling quite content.
"Fellow citizens, I don’t deny, I inadvertently made some mistakes before. But now the world is in disarray, only the strong stand superior, and those with power sit atop. My special ability is being able to provide these fruits continuously, so I should enjoy the rights I deserve."
The apple scent grew ever intensifying, no one could resist the meticulously cultivated fruits from the space. Song You watched as the expressions of the people below gradually turned frenzied, she felt increasingly motivated.
"Now, I can make amends for my crimes by providing fruits, vegetables, even rice and flour. But in exchange, I want Li Chang’an to abolish her superpower and step down from her position as Chief Officer."
