Chapter 478 "The Great Hero"

Walking out of the lobby, there is a long underground corridor in front of you, go out from here, and then take the elevator up to the exit.

Compared with the rest hall, the lights in the corridor are slightly dim, and because of the ventilation at both ends, it will give people a sense of shade when there are few pedestrians.

The reporters kept chattering and asking some sharp questions, such as when he would meet with the Republicans, his views on the tragedy in front of the Venice Hotel, and what orders Marlo Smith gave him before leaving.

Some spectators followed and poured into the corridor, their voices and footsteps dispelling the coldness, as if throwing a sun into the cold pool.

Tang Fang felt a little annoyed, so he simply didn't look at the reporters in front of him, and let the security guards and Tang Lin lead the way, while he walked forward step by step while holding Freya's cool little hand.

It was the first time for Bai Yue to experience such a scene, and he looked a little excited, just like a chimpanzee receiving a guest for the first time, with curiosity and surprise on his face, but more shyness.

Old Corey was at the end, because he had been silent all the time and was as dull as an old gourd. No reporter was willing to waste their time on him. His silence did not mean that the media had nothing to say. When the interview was over, some reporters would use their Unconstrained and unrestrained thoughts, using subtle but sharp words to portray a lifelike image of a traitor, although it is somewhat immoral, empty and lonely people always need some spiritual or sensory stimulation to enrich their lives, this is a new era bestowed on journalists A new task --- create gossip and topics.

Tang Fang seemed to be walking forward casually, but in fact his mind was highly concentrated. People didn't know that except for their existence in the not-so-spacious corridor, there was a magical machine hovering between his forehead and the silver-gray ceiling. area.

He didn't believe that some people would easily let him go back to "Venice", since the beginning of human history. Which dynasty has no loyalists? Which party has no fanatics? Which leader has no faithful followers? Which government has no interest groups? Of course, some poor people who have been hypnotized and brainwashed are also included.

For whatever reason, some people wanted him dead.

He's not Stephen Su, and he doesn't have persecution paranoia. This is just Captain Tang's conclusion after analyzing his current situation, so. It's not a fantasy, it's a fact.

On the left side of the fan-shaped area in front of Tang, a young man wearing a baseball cap slightly raised his hand that was tucked in his pocket, and the hard object propped up irregular marks on the surface of his gray sweater.

It was a gun, a Covenant-made "Bolide" small-caliber pistol with a built-in silencer, very suitable for assassination.

According to the calculation of the detector,

The gun was locked on his left chest, and it seemed that the other party was determined to kill him.

Tang Fang narrowed his eyes and stopped on purpose. Because he felt that he should give the other party a chance to perform well, which might be good for him.

Tang Lin also noticed the movement in front of him, and moved his steps towards the assassin's position without any trace. At this moment, a voice sounded in his mind: "Let him shoot", so he stopped and stepped aside.

At the same time, the silver-white LED lights on the ceiling flickered a few times. A few meters around Tang Fang was slightly dark.

The killer made a move, and two stars shot out from under the baseball cap. Those were his eyes, like a poisonous snake coming out of the night.

The moment that person pulled the trigger, Tang Fang suddenly thought of one thing. If this time is added, the trip to "Arcassie" has already self-harmed three times --- "Fallen Angel" underground prisoner Once in prison, once in warehouse No. 07. Go down the tunnel once.

The previous two times were all skin injuries. With his physical fitness, he can recover in a few breaths, but if it was a gunshot wound, once the bullet entered his body. The pain will continue until the muscles and muscles squeeze out of the warhead, but there are many reporters here. If they see the scene of the wound healing at a high speed, it may cause a lot of trouble.

Tang Fang decided to dodge this shot. Anyway, the result will not change much, and some people will pay the due price for it.

"puff!"

The very slight gunshots were drowned in the clear and accurate questions of the reporters.

Tang Fang shook his body, blood bloomed on his right arm.

Just at this moment, someone pressed the shutter of the camera, and the rapidly spreading blood red under the silver light was frozen, becoming something hard to ignore in the picture.

In the next few hours, it is destined to become the focus of attention of the people of the Star Alliance.

After all, Tang Fang still didn't dodge, but temporarily turned his body to let the bullet hit his right arm.

It's not that he reacted too slowly, not as fast as the killer's shooting, but that he changed his mind at a critical moment, because according to the ballistic calculation data sent by the detector, if he dodges, the bullet will graze a reporter's arm , and then hit the tired and confused middle-aged man behind him holding a "I want to work" protest sign.

The bullet would pass through the man's jaw and take his seemingly humble life.

Tang Fang felt that it was not good. If this incident was allowed to happen, it would be a reenactment of the "Al-Cassie" l727 incident.

He has killed some people, but that is on the battlefield, either he dies or the other party dies, there is no second choice.

But it's different now. If he can exchange someone's life with a mere physical injury, he thinks it's something to be happy about. Even if the other party is just a homeless man, maybe no one knows about his sacrifice, but...just have a clear conscience.

So he gritted his teeth and exchanged his right arm for a person's survival. Of course, no one knew about this, and people only noticed the blood that was bleeding rapidly around the wound.

"Ah!" A female reporter screamed; a blood-sick person turned pale; and a security guard stood still.

Tang Lin, who was supposed to open the way ahead, had already moved up to the killer, knocked out the "Fire Meteor" pistol, and knocked him unconscious.

No one could see his movements clearly. When the security personnel reacted and surrounded Tang Fang to check his injuries, Tang Lin dragged the killer over and threw him in front of the security captain.

The baseball cap fell off during the fight just now, revealing a somewhat pale face underneath.

Thick lips, small eyes, very inconspicuous.

Tang Lin was not in a hurry to investigate Tang Fang's injuries, but said to the security captain with a sullen face, "You know what to do."

The man with a little beard on his chin wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead and said, "I know, I know." Then he turned on the mobile video device on his wrist, connected to the terminal command center, and reported the situation on the scene. Then arrange for one of his subordinates to pick up the killer and leave the crowd.

"Tang Fang, does it hurt?"

Freya's face turned pale with fright, and tears glistened in her eyes, like little stars hazy by water vapor.

"It doesn't hurt."

Squeezing out a smile to comfort her, he took the piece of cloth that old Corey tore from the toilet boy's body and wrapped it up, taking a deep breath. Stand up slowly.

At this time, the reporters had retreated to a certain range under the scolding of the security soldiers, and some quick-thinking guys hurriedly turned on the camera equipment to record the scene that happened in front of them.

This is extremely explosive news. Captain Tang was assassinated as soon as he got off the shuttle. This kind of news will definitely hit the headlines. Even if some people's legs are shaking and sweating, they are afraid that another bloodthirsty killer will jump out of the crowd , and bring them into the range of fire. But he still gathered all his strength and tried his best to stabilize the camera, sometimes staying on the wound on Captain Tang's right arm that barely stopped the bleeding, and sometimes taking a close-up of the face of the killer who was getting further and further away.

Old Corey stepped forward from behind, supported Tang Fang's slightly trembling body, looked at his frowning face, and said, "How is it?"

Tang Fang took several deep breaths and said in a very low and hoarse voice, "I'm fine."

Corey Sr. thought it was a normal reaction. No normal person can remain calm after being shot, but Tang Lin doesn't think so. He squeezed from the periphery to the core, and cast a questioning look at Tang Fang.

He knows best what big brother is capable of. Although he has not experienced the Nami star battle, the core members on the Morning Star know that Aros, Tang Fang, and Howson have obtained the high-speed regeneration ability. The elder brother who has been through the battle shows such a painful expression, as long as it is not the heart and brain. Rapidly growing tissue will repair physical trauma in a very short time.

A smile appeared on Tang Fang's pale face, and he waved to indicate that he was fine.

In fact, he is really fine, of course, that is for him, if it is an ordinary person. I'm afraid I'm not so lucky.

Judging from the appearance, the bullet hitting his right arm was not a fatal injury, but only Tang Fang knew the danger inside. The bullet that hit his right arm from the chamber of the "Fire Meteor" was not an ordinary ammunition. Embedded with a radioactive unit, according to Emma's analysis, it should be an isotope of polonium. If ordinary people are exposed to such a high dose, they will suffer great pain in the next half a month, and eventually die of organ failure.

Fortunately, he has superior physical fitness than ordinary people, and has the ability to regenerate at a high speed. The parts irradiated by high-energy particles will be replaced by new tissues in a short time. However, because the warhead is still in the body, the radioactive material and the regeneration function form a confrontational situation. , One side destroys, the other side repairs, forming a wrestling relationship, which makes him feel painful.

"Let's go back to the hotel."

He continued to take several deep breaths, his face gradually recovered a little rosy, and he pulled Freya, who was in a panic and was about to cry, to the left, and continued to walk forward.

Two rows of rectangular light tubes on the ceiling extended to the end of the corridor, and the bluish-white light shone on his face, making him look particularly haggard.

There was a burst of discussion from the crowd outside. Captain Tang continued to act when he was shot, instead of stopping at the same place and waiting for the medical team at the pier to rescue him.

People have always admired heroes, and many of these media organizations at the scene used live broadcasts to conduct interviews. The scene of Tang Fang from being shot to gritting his teeth touched many viewers in front of the TV. Some of them were thinking, some were Scolding, some sighing, and more cheering for him.

The corridor is not long, only a few hundred meters, but it looks like a road to salvation from hell to light.

He walked very slowly, but unusually calm, just like his determined eyes.

If he died under the killer's gun, he would become a respected brave man. Now, not only did he not die, but he endured the pain and continued to move forward peacefully. In the hearts of some people, especially young people, he has faint Jojo is equated with a hero.

In the eyes of the old man, this is stupid, because his action is tantamount to encouraging the killers to continue shooting, but in the eyes of the young people, it clearly expresses his intransigence to power and oppression.

Men, always have to be bloody, don't they?

There is no progress without struggle, and it is better to stand and die than to live on your knees.

Although Captain Tang didn't say anything, he said everything. In fact... those things originally existed in the hearts of many young people. It's just buried layer by layer by the dust of society.

The Star Alliance network is boiling again, and the power of this political storm continues to rise. Although there is no evidence that the killer comes from the Adam government, the passionate people choose to stand on the opposite side of the government to fight, forging for the morning star, and for themselves!

Because what happened to Captain Tang made them empathize. There is always a fragile side in the human heart, a place where emotions are reserved.

Regardless of whether they were members of the opposition party or the current politicians, at first they watched this farce with cold eyes, but in the end they found that it was not only their eyes that were cold, but also their hearts that were gradually freezing.

If Captain Tang is shot and killed, public opinion may set off a frenzy, but if the Adam government has no lower limit. Spending time on matters such as war and national hatred, concocting an exquisite chess game, mobilizing the public's emotions through exaggeration and incitement, and using secret means to tie the people of the Star Alliance and the government to the same stake, the storm finally ended. There is a day of elimination.

If Captain Tang is shot and seeks medical treatment, public opinion will still condemn Adam’s government for being despicable and shameless, but they will definitely not treat him as a beacon that can illuminate the heart, a heroic figure who can wake up those years of blood. .

He... is really scary. This ability to understand people's hearts, this perseverance. This kind of flash of wisdom... It's really terrible to be an enemy of such a person.

Perhaps, Adam? Oliver and O'Neill have really provoked an enemy that should not be provoked.

There is a saying, "The centipede is dead but not stiff." In most countries, the government rarely dies suddenly overnight. It has to bear the impact again and again, so that those cracks that appear under the action of external forces will be connected together, and then they will be broken into pieces with a bang. What Captain Tang has done these days is pushing Adam's government to the edge of the cliff step by step. .

"This man. Don't mess with him!" Some people sighed.

In the eyes of smart people, every step Tang Fang takes is as if calculated in advance, so shrewd that every movement and every look in his eyes contains deep meaning and is memorable, but the actual situation is not like this.

Tang Fang calculated that someone would intercept and kill him, but he didn't expect that the warhead was embedded with radioactive elements, and he underestimated the despicability of his opponent. He just wanted to go back to the "Venice" hotel quickly so that he could take out the warhead as soon as possible, and he didn't want people to take it out. He was carried into the hospital by himself, exposing the abnormality of his body, so he could only grit his teeth and hold on, making people think that there was nothing serious about him.

He didn't know that his own compulsion was called toughness in the eyes of the onlookers, and he didn't know that his pale face and firm eyes were called "never compromise".

He really wanted to dodge that bullet, and he was really capable of dodging that bullet, but he just didn't want to see that impoverished protester die because of him, repeating "fallen angel" again I don't kill Boren Boren made a subconscious choice because of the tragedy of my death.

I'm afraid no one will believe this.

"Tang Fang, great job!"

"Don't give up, for fairness, for justice."

"come on!"

Scattered encouragement came from the crowd, and then spread like the ripples of a stone dropped into a lake.

Encouragement gradually turned into warm applause, echoing in the dull corridor, very beautiful.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps behind him, and the rescue team from the pier and more security soldiers rushed over.

The security captain with an ugly face stopped, looked back at Tang Fang and said, "Mr. Tang, you have an arm injury, you should receive treatment first."

Tang Fang looked around at the excited crowd, thought of an excuse, and said coldly, "I'm sorry, I appreciate your kindness, but... I don't believe you."

These words are very blunt, but there is no sense of domineering, because it is a fact, more logical, no matter who is in Captain Tang's situation, he will not trust people other than his confidantes, especially government departments.

The smile on the lips of the security captain froze. Seeing the figures of these people drifting away, he was very embarrassed, but he couldn't get angry. He dared three things: Tang Fang, the government, and the media. Therefore, he could only stand there listlessly like a castrated bull, letting the dark and shining lens capture his unnatural face time and time again.

The members of the rescue team didn't get rejected, but fell over their shoulders, because the district chief, Peter Passy, ​​knew that Tang Fang had been shot, and issued an order to the pier to restrain him in the name of treating his injuries, so as not to cause accidents. Ever since, the loyal military doctor disregarded Tang Fang's refusal to twist his arm, but Bai Yue pulled his arm, bowed his waist and raised his buttocks and pushed forward forcefully. The man soared into the clouds and fell to the edge of the crowd with a plop Startled the screaming of the female reporter.

Tang Fang stopped, turned around and shouted, "What, are you trying to rob someone? I'm not dead yet!"

These words are very polite, but also very impolite, those who don't understand naturally don't understand, and those who understand understand naturally understand deeply.

The members of the medical team stopped where they were, not daring to get closer to him, because the "sensible" reporters had already pointed their cameras at them.

No one wanted to make fun of themselves, and Beard's order was to contain the escalation of the situation, not to create new conflicts.

A group of people rushed over from the other side of the corridor, most of them were young people. They didn't say a word, they walked between Tang Fang and the medical team, and formed a human wall arm in arm. In the middle was a fat man wearing a T-shirt with the Star Alliance flag printed on it. He shouted in a hoarse voice, "Go back!"

"Let him go!"

"What do you want to do? To save people or use force?"

Others yelled loudly.

"The running dog of the shameless government!"

"A wolf in human clothing."

"Rogue, rascal, beast, scum!" (to be continued...)
