Chapter 159 Responsibilities

Gu Yuan felt the madly surging breath, and his expression was somewhat moved.

Since hearing the sound from outside the city wall, Han Meng seemed to have become a different person. He had almost given up struggling, but he burst out with unprecedented anger and stubbornness. For some reason, seeing the scarlet bloodshot in Han Meng's eyes, Gu Yuan's heart trembled slightly.

"Why bother... Han Meng." Gu Yuan's voice sounded, mixed with a hint of helplessness, "You should have heard the communication from the headquarters just now. That train can't enter Aurora City."

"Just now was just now! There are survivors from District 3 on that train now!"

Gu Yuan wanted to say something, but Han Meng roared again:

"Aurora City did not save the seven districts. It can be said that there are too many of them, and they are powerless to save them... There are only a few dozen people on that train now! They finally escaped from District 3. They are the last seeds of the seven districts! Now they have come to the city at the risk of their lives. Are you still going to watch them die?

Aurora City, don't you even have the power to save these dozens of people!!"

Hearing this, Gu Yuan fell silent.

The shouts from the train continued.

At the same time, the crowd around the White Dove Square also became agitated.

"Are they survivors from the seven districts?!"

"There are still people alive! There are still people alive outside the city walls!!"

"There are many old people and children... God, what have they experienced?"

"Why don't you let them into the city?!"

"Yes, they finally escaped to Aurora City, why don't you let them into the city!!"

Those figures holding flags and banners all had anger on their faces. In addition, those Aurora City residents who had not joined the parade but heard the shouts outside the city walls also walked onto the streets in confusion. Seeing this scene, they were all stunned.

Some of them had heard the news of the destruction of the seven districts, but did not express their opinions. After all, not everyone has compassion. Some were shocked when they just heard the news... But when they heard the shouts from outside the city walls, they were more or less moved.

The lives of three hundred thousand people were too heavy for them to care about, but the dozens of refugee children, elderly people, and wounded outside the door aroused their sympathy...

As residents of Aurora City, they have always been proud. They don't understand why Aurora City does not accept these survivors. Coupled with the high emotions of the surrounding people, a large number of people were influenced and joined the queue on their own initiative.

"You cold-blooded law enforcement officers! You left the seven districts to die without helping them, and now you are also leaving these wounded and children to die without helping them?!"

"Deputy Chief [Tan Xin] is a coward! What on earth is he thinking? Don't he even have the courage to take in the wounded?!"

"I'm a doctor! Let them in! They need treatment!!"

"If you kill these poor people! What kind of law enforcement officers are you?! How can you manage Aurora City with such cold-blooded people!!"

"..."

The emotions of the people were rising amid the shouting. They clenched their fists and flags and began to try to cross the cordon. Some people even wrestled with the law enforcers behind the cordon. For a while, the scene was extremely chaotic!

Figures ran across the square and joined the chaotic farce, startling all the white pigeons that were originally resting peacefully around them, flapping their wings and flying into the sky.

On the wooden chair that no one noticed, Gu Yuan silently looked at the chaotic crowd in the distance, with a complicated expression.

"Let me go!" Han Meng was still struggling frantically, cracks spreading on the wooden chair under him, and it seemed that the entire chair would soon be shattered.

"Han Meng, you are a good seedling." Gu Yuan spoke slowly,

"But don't forget that you are also a law enforcement officer, your duty is to be loyal to Aurora City... You should know what the consequences will be if you openly violate the orders of Aurora City."

Han Meng looked at him and answered word by word,

"My duty is to protect... not to be loyal to anyone."

Seeing the determination flashing in Han Meng's eyes, Gu Yuan sighed.

The law enforcement officer with white hair did not speak again, but slowly placed the coffee in his palm on the wooden chair beside him...

Crack——!

When the paper cup fell on the surface of the wooden chair, it was like a mountain smashing the ice layer, and the hideous cracks instantly covered the entire chair. With a sharp explosion, the chair broke and splashed under Han Meng's struggle!

As the wooden chair exploded, Han Meng took the opportunity to break free from the shackles on him, and the whole person turned into a black lightning, rushing towards the city wall without hesitation in the smoke and dust!

Gu Yuan stood calmly on the messy wreckage of the wooden chair, his pupils reflecting the black figure that was gradually receding, as if he saw his younger self:

"With such a mentality, no wonder he was favored by the [Judgment] path... What a pity..."

He shook his head, turned around and left alone.

...

City wall.

The shouts of the train outside the city mixed with the roars of the people inside the city. At this moment, many law enforcers standing on the city wall were a little at a loss.

"This Chen Ling... is he taking the survivors from District 3 as hostages?" A five-pattern law enforcement officer frowned and asked.

"He knows that he can't enter Aurora City by himself, so he uses these survivors to mobilize the emotions of the residents in the city to threaten us... What a good trick."

"But I don't understand, even if he enters the city, what will happen? We already know his identity, isn't this just asking for death?"

"I don't know..."

"So now, should we destroy the train or not?"

As soon as this question came out, the three law enforcement officers fell silent.

After a moment, the law enforcement officer in the middle took a deep breath and said slowly:

"The headquarters has not changed the order, it is to proceed according to the original plan... No matter who is on that train, it cannot enter Aurora City!"

Perhaps the five words "the headquarters' order" played a role, and the other two law enforcement officers also nodded slightly. They stood side by side on the city wall, and the three domains spread to the surroundings at the same time!

"Do you really want to destroy that train?!" Wen Shilin frowned, "No... The survivors on the train are innocent! Not only do you not accept them into the city, you also want to kill them with your own hands? Do you know how bad the impact of doing so will be?"

"Since when has it been the turn of reporters to point fingers at matters involving the safety of Aurora City?" A law enforcement officer glanced at him coldly.

"I am just stating an objective fact!"

The pen in Wen Shilin's hand was writing quickly on the notebook. He stared at the three people and spoke seriously and solemnly,

"Unless you kill me now, I will report all this truthfully when I return... The public outrage caused by that time will not be easily quelled. You... and even the entire law enforcement system will be affected in an unpredictable way."
