Gong Xingyu’s interview part was something An Yichu never expected.
When he slammed the door and left, An Yichu felt that his heart was severely shaken.
Yes...if you just want to make people cry, there are thousands of topics you can talk about, but what's the use? If the "sun rises" comes, won't all problems be solved?
The assistant could see that An Yichu was in a very low mood, so he said thoughtfully: "An, why don't we pause today's interview and let's go have a drink?"
An Yi came back to her senses and looked at her assistant.
This man with a perfect figure is wearing a dark gray British gentleman-style suit. He looks capable and chic from any angle.
He was the only one accompanying An Yichu in this exclusive interview, but An Yichu was relieved. After all... if there were some problems that he couldn't solve, then it would be useless for An Yichu to bring more guards.
The assistant's proposal was very tempting, but An Yichu had no intention of indulging himself.
She stood up and said: "I'm not infected by him, and I won't convince myself to give up so easily. Let's go meet the third interviewee as planned. After the interview is over, we'll have a drink."
The assistant smiled slightly and gently raised his hand to put away the seven lenses floating in the room: "Okay."
…
The third interviewee is a girl.
She was only eleven years old and could not work yet, but her mother was worried that she would not be safe at home alone, so when An Yichu found the little girl, she was lying on her mother's workbench helping her mother complete some tasks.
Things within your ability.
Seeing this scene, An Yichu asked worriedly: "Why didn't you send your child to school?"
The girl's mother was an ordinary woman with a plain appearance. She took off her gloves and said, "Isn't it that the community is still arguing? Plus, the children in the class are not very happy since they found out that my girl is from Xiongan."
I like her, so...I thought maybe I could wait for a while and things would pass before I send her there."
An Yi finally understood. She squatted down to be eye-level with the little girl and said with a smile: "Little sister, I came from the first central axis for an exclusive interview. You are the youngest among my interviewees."
The little girl took a step back a little fearfully. She held her mother's hand tightly and said nothing.
An Yichu could tell that this girl must have suffered a lot, especially the psychological trauma that might stay with her for the rest of her life.
Seeing that the communication was fruitless, An Yichu looked at the little girl's mother and said: "Well... we are going to conduct a short interview with your daughter. Do you think you can let me take her to a quiet place? Wait for the interview.
When it's over, shall I send her back to you?"
Before the little girl's mother could answer, the little girl resisted: "Mom, I won't go, I don't want to go! Are they going to draw blood from me again? I'm afraid of pain! I don't want to go!"
"Draw blood?!" An Yichu looked at the little girl's mother in surprise.
The mother was a little embarrassed. She said bitterly: "After we got here, the people at the reception arranged for a doctor to come over and do several examinations on us, including taking blood... At that time, I didn't know if it was...
That nurse intentionally didn't tie it properly when drawing blood from my girl, which hurt her. As a result, she still has nightmares... Don't mind."
An Yichu stood up and frowned: "Didn't the state issue a document? Why are the people below doing such nonsense?"
The little girl's mother smiled bitterly and said: "The documents have been sent to each of us, but after all, it is not a gold medal for immunity from death. Besides... even if it is a gold medal for immunity from death, we are still occupying other people's places.
It’s hard to live a good life while holding documents and talking like this all the time.”
An Yichu felt uncomfortable after hearing these words.
Indeed, the documents are written in black and white, but people's hearts are very complicated.
She vaguely remembered that when she first arrived here, she met a group of people protesting. They were all workers in the same workshop. They said they were protesting against the people coming from Xiongan eating, drinking and working with them, which made them afraid to go home.
.
He also said... we had already done our best to save them by sacrificing our lives and saving food for each person, so why should we accept them?
At that time, An Yichu felt very angry and wanted to go up and argue with them.
But think about what you are angry about? Because in comparison, the resettled survivors who came out of Shelter No. 1 in Xiongan New District had a more miserable experience and lived a harder life, and the opinions raised by these people are similar to
Is the protest request too “unreasonable”?
An Yichu is not a woman dominated by emotions. In fact, everyone who can work and live on the first axis must have enough rationality. It is these rationalities that are more biased towards algorithms that make An Yichu choose to be calm.
Look at the occurrence and development of these things.
"Then... why don't you come here with her? I think the little sister is quite afraid of us. It should be much better with you here, right?" An Yichu suggested.
The little girl's mother had already heard that someone would come over for an exclusive interview today. The monitor on this production line also took great care of her, so she smiled gratefully and said, "Well, thank you."
"No, no, no, you're serious. It's up to us to say thank you. I'm so presumptuous to bother you. I hope you and my little sister don't have too many worries."
The little girl's mother didn't say anything more. She looked over to the monitor. A middle-aged woman sitting at the end of the production line just nodded slightly, and the meaning was conveyed.
…
The interview was conducted in the workshop lounge.
An Yichu suddenly changed her mind on the way to the lounge. She planned to include the little girl's mother on the interview list, which might make the content of her interview more real and full.
An eleven-year-old girl is neither too old nor too young, but she is certainly not at the age where she still needs to cling to her mother's arms.
But when the girl named Shan Kexin faced An Yichu, her assistant and the seven lenses, she still got into her mother's arms, unwilling to face An Yichu head-on.
An Yichu didn't mind either. After briefly explaining her purpose, she started as before.
"Can you please introduce yourself first?"
The little girl's mother was stunned when she heard this. Then she subconsciously thought she wanted her daughter to answer, so she lowered her head and said, "Girl, my beautiful sister is asking you something. Isn't it too rude not to answer?"
An Yichu was a little embarrassed, so she quickly explained: "Well, auntie, I actually want you to introduce yourself first."
"Oh? Oh! So that's it." The little girl's mother was also quite embarrassed. She combed her hair and said with a smile: "My name is Zhang Qinyi, and I am currently an ordinary workshop assembly worker in the residential area on the 66th floor.
The work is mainly to assemble some parts that we don’t know what they are according to Agreement B, and the rest is nothing.”
An Yichu nodded: "Yeah, okay, so when you were at Shelter No. 1 in Xiongan New Area, what was your identity?"
"Nursing worker." Zhang Qinyi said: "I am a nursing worker in a nursing home in the residential area on the 36th floor. I am mainly responsible for taking care of the elderly and children."
"Then you...were you infected before?"
Zhang Qinyi shook her head: "No, my daughter and I are not infected, but... my husband and my other child... they were all infected during the outbreak, and their whereabouts are still unknown...
…Probably no longer here.”
After Zhang Qinyi finished speaking, she smiled at the camera. There was some sadness in her smile, but it was obvious that this mother was really strong.
An Yichu understood and sympathized even more with what Zhang Qinyi's mother was going through now.
After all, they are not infected, but they still receive the same cold treatment and rejection as Han Dadong and Gong Xingyu who were infected.
"Oh, then you are actually very lucky."
Zhang Qinyi recalled the past and smiled slightly: "Yes, my daughter and I thought we were dead at that time. After all, there were a lot of infected people on our floor, and there were very few people who could hold a gun... so there was no way
No one could care about the people around them, and everyone could only protect themselves as much as possible... But fortunately, we and my mother were very lucky. We met three kind-hearted people, and they helped us and my mother survive."
"Three kind-hearted people? Can you talk to us?"
Zhang Qinyi was deeply impressed by these experiences. She said: "Well...at that time...our nursing home was very close to the hospital, so when the infection broke out, our place quickly became a front-line position, but...those who took the
The soldiers who raised their weapons did not decisively kill those who had been infected... Therefore, our floor also missed the best opportunity to resist... In the end, I took my daughter and ran all the way south, but there were people everywhere.
We were infected, and soon we had no way to escape... At this time, a group of soldiers appeared in time, and we were briefly rescued... After being trapped in the middle of the North District and the South District for a week, some people died because of food and water.
The soldiers had to risk their lives to collect resources... but none of them came back... Later, some of us were obviously infected, but we kept it secret. My husband and another child also
It was at that time that I was infected... Later, I hid with my daughter and survived on some food scraps... But one time I was too tired and passed out. When I woke up, I found that we had been infected.
A group of infected people surrounded us... They were like wolves in the forest, circling around us. At that time, my daughter and I thought we were dead... But they appeared, three of them, a middle-aged man and a
A young man about the same age as you, girl, and a little girl who looks younger than my girl... These three people rescued us and took us to a safe place, and later they brought us back
Lots of survivors and food, just like that... we survived..."
Zhang Qinyi said a lot, but An Yichu felt that she couldn't grasp the key point. She was actually more concerned about whether these three people existed on the honorary list. After all, a large number of heroes have emerged in many residential areas, but these
Very few people make it out of Shelter No. 1 in Xiongan New District alive.
"It has been a very difficult time..." An Yichu sighed: "Then can you tell me the names of these three heroes?"
"Name?" Zhang Qinyi frowned.
"Well, these three are great benefactors to you. You should know their names, right?"
Zhang Qinyi shook her head in surprise: "No... Oh no, of course I know they are my great benefactors, and I will always remember their appearance... It's just strange to say... they never told us
He even told us not to tell anyone about the fact that they saved us."
"Hey? Why?" An Yichu asked curiously.
Zhang Qinyi thought for a while and said with a smile: "Maybe... they don't want people to disturb them. After all, for some people, doing good deeds is just an instinctive act of kindness. They don't do it for reputation or anything like that."
Those who sacrifice their lives to save others naturally don’t want their actions to bring trouble to their own lives.”
An Yichu nodded thoughtfully when he heard this: "Oh...that's right, that's really admirable."
"Aqi." Shan Kexin, who had been silent and hiding in her mother's arms, suddenly said.
An Yichu was stunned: "What?"
Shan Kexin looked up at An Yichu and said seriously: "Her name is Aqi. Please help me write it down. If the sun rises in the future, I promised to give her a box of lollipops as a gift."
In return.”
An Yichu was surprised, but she was still very happy to see that the little girl was finally willing to speak.
"Well, sister, I remember, her name is Ah Qi, and she is a great hero."
Shan Kexin nodded: "Yes, he is also my friend, my best friend."
The following interview was relatively monotonous...the content was not as rewarding as the previous interviews with Han Dadong or Gong Xingyu, but overall it was a satisfactory interview.
When bidding farewell to mother and daughter, An Yichu said to Shan Kexin's mother, Zhang Qinyi: "Don't worry, although the document issued by the central government is not a gold medal for immunity from death, it will not allow an innocent person like you to be free from death."
I feel wronged, so when I go back I will report the situation here and try to win more recognition and tolerance for you and Shan Kexin."
Zhang Qinyi smiled gratefully after hearing this: "Thank you very much."
An Yichu also smiled and said: "This is what it should be."
…
After today's interview, An Yichu will take his assistant to another shelter to interview other people on the list, but before that they still have twelve hours of free time.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, An Yichu always felt that the superiors not only wanted to give them enough time to repair, but also wanted them to have more contact with other residents in the shelter.
Although these people were not on An Yichu's interview list, An Yichu felt that there were many stories to write.
For example, she just learned that the aunt she met who shouted in protest when she first arrived here this morning, her son signed a "life and death certificate" and went to Xiongan for rescue without hesitation, but he didn't arrive there.
A week later, bad news came that her son had died during an operation to rescue a father and son, and was killed by a group of infected people.
The aunt who lost her beloved son had firmly disagreed with her son going to Xiongan. If it hadn't been for the fact that his father was a soldier, she might have made a scene when the rescue was launched.
But now it's too late to say anything... This aunt became a little hysterical.
Although she still has a daughter, she does not want to live in fear and worry, so she became an organizer of protests.
Analyzing these things at this time, An Yichu felt that he had no way to choose which side to stand on.
Since the disaster is not going to end soon as initially said... coupled with the incident in Xiongan, there are now fewer and fewer places to drink in the shelters.
An Yichu and his assistant searched for a long time before finally finding a bar in the residential area on the 75th floor that was dedicated to receiving foreign travelers.
Travelers are a new word. They are a group of warriors who dare to face the cruel reality. They are also an important bridge connecting various refuges.
These people are registered and organized by the government, and their main purpose is to deliver residents' greetings to their families and various important supplies between major shelters. This is why the Traveler Bar came into being.
Although An Yichu and his assistant were not travelers, they were still welcomed by the boss.
The first cup is even free.
However, An Yichu is not someone who likes to take advantage, not to mention she has always had a good drinking capacity. Even in these disaster times, she will spend most of her income on drinking, because she likes the kind of drowsy micro-wealth.
Feeling drunk.
The assistant was a freak who never got drunk after a thousand drinks. Drinking for him was a waste, so he consciously left the wine to An Yichu and ordered a glass of milk for himself.
There weren't many people in the bar, and most of them looked tired.
The work of travelers is very intensive and the risk factor is also extremely high. This task is usually undertaken by unconcerned men. But today in the bar, An Yichu unexpectedly discovered three female travelers.
One of them has been secretly observing An Yichu since he entered the house.
An Yichu was a little curious, so he simply walked over and said hello: "Hey, guys, I am the special correspondent of the first central axis. I saw you warriors here and wanted to come and get to know you. Do you mind?"
Among the three female travelers was a boy wearing a hat, which surprised An Yichu even more.
The girl who had been peeking at An Yichu smiled slightly: "Hello, my name is Huazi."
"Beggar? Beggar?"
"Pfft!" The girl opposite Hanako burst into laughter.
Momosawa Hanako, who unexpectedly appeared here for some reason, twitched her mouth and said: "Uh... I didn't mean that... I meant, my name is... Hanako, Momosawa Hanako, is there no misunderstanding now?"
An Yichu was suddenly embarrassed. She apologized quickly: "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I'm so confused! My name is An Yichu, nice to meet you."
Huazi didn't care either. She introduced her companion to An Yichu and said, "Well, the guy opposite me who spits wine, her name is Qing Yaren."
Qingshui Yaren, whose pseudonym is Qing Yaren, wiped her mouth and smiled at An Yichu: "Hello."
