Chapter 384 (1/2)
Early in the morning, the bank was crowded.
Merchants, mercenaries, hunters, even scavengers, all gathered at the door of the bank. People were in high spirits and their faces were full of excitement. Wearing ”and then we ushered in the light.” Once again, he slowed down his voice and turned his solemn and proud eyes to the crowd.
The audience held their breath.
”But as we celebrate prosperity, a sad thing happened.”
”I believe most people have heard of it. The compatriots in Jiashi, the warriors against the invasion of mutants. They finally fell. ”
”And now, the barbarians in the West are waving their mallets and yelling at us: look, we've got your little neighbor and cut his eggs. Are you afraid? ha-ha. We will do the same to you soon! Now, tell me, can you stand this insult! Can you bear it? ”
There was no response from the audience, but Zhao Chenwu could read it from the faces of the former platoon people. They couldn't.
Taking a deep breath, he opened his mouth again.
”It's too small. Compared with the whole piece of waste soil, it is not even a grain. But we have an obligation to care for it to germinate, to care for it to illuminate a wider area. Yes, it is the light we have seen, called the light of order! Chu Nan, who completed the great cause, stood up and looked at the people under the stage with a solemn expression.
”Permission.”
Deafening cheers broke out under the stage.
In this boiling public opinion, Zhao Chenwu took advantage of the iron to read out the resolution of issuing war bonds and conscription bill.
The performance went on more smoothly than expected.
...
in the dark outside the window, the line has been from the bank door to the parliament building.
This is the parliament building, and the bank is next to it.
Chu Nan and Zhao Chenwu sit at the tea table by the window. In front of their desk was a color printed newspaper, on which was printed the impassioned speech.
This kind of thing of newspaper just came into being some time ago. People are gossip animals. In the era of no Internet, newspapers can just meet people's needs in this respect. In addition to occasionally publishing sixth block Council decisions, these newspapers often carry interesting survivor stories, xenohunting experiences, job search information or advertisements.
”The bank opens in five minutes.” Zhao Chenwu squinted at the wall clock and looked out of the window again.
He doesn't have to line up with ordinary people. As a big capitalist on the sixth block, he had bought his own share before the public offering.
”It seems that people are enthusiastic about the war four months later.” Chunan said with a smile.
At eight o'clock, the staff of the parliament building served them with a cage of steaming steamed buns and two cups of freshly ground soybean milk.
