Just 8 billion people

Chapter 80: Just billion unruly people! (Part ) (Updated)

"Dangdangdang——"

The harsh sound of metal knocking brought Chen Banxian, who was squatting in a daze in the corner of the cell, back to his senses.

look up.

He found a prison guard standing outside the iron gate, staring at him.

"...What are you doing?" The prison guard held the iron gate and looked Chen Banxian up and down.

"Nothing done."

"Come here, it's time to eat."

"..."

With his mouth tightly shut, Chen Banxian staggered to his feet and walked out of the cell with a staggering step.

"Are you pretending?" The prison guard slapped the iron door again, "You've even recovered your spiritual energy, but you're still lying here with your legs and feet broken?"

"Sao Rui, I forgot." Chen Banxian straightened up and quickened his pace: "What is the meal today?"

"shit."

The prison guard bent down, took out a box of food from the food bucket, and threw it in through the iron bars.

"Clap."

Chen Banxian caught it with both hands.

"Eat it." The prison guard took a step back: "Eat it to death."

Hesitantly, Chen Banxian sat down cross-legged and opened his lunch box: "Um... when can I go back to the big bunk bed?"

"When you stop beating up your cellmates."

"They beat me."

"They beat you? And they broke bones?"

"Maybe... I'm stronger."

"Stop talking nonsense. Eat quickly." The prison guard said unkindly, "Even with a limiter, I can't control you. You are such a rebellious person. No wonder you gave birth to a bully who stirs up trouble."

Chen Banxian froze: "My grandson is not a bully."

"Yes, yes, yes. Stab the Fuhrer to death in public. Not a bully."

"..."

"Tsk. If your grandson hadn't caused such a stir, and if the situation hadn't been so chaotic and unrest everywhere, would your family still want to live in the best prison in the Federation? You would have been beaten to death long ago."

"..."

"After two years, not many people in the world will pay attention to this anymore, and the higher-ups won't have to worry about any impact. You'll have to endure the consequences." The prison guard knocked on the railing again, "What are you standing there for? Eat quickly! I'll show you something good after you finish eating."

"..."

Lowering his head and touching the black ring on his neck, Chen Banxian sighed softly, picked up the chopsticks and wolfed down the food.

three minutes.

finished eating.

He broke the wooden chopsticks, snapped the lunch box, and threw it out of the railing.

"I'm done eating." Chen Banxian wiped his mouth: "What do you want to show me?"

"Your grandson."

"???"

After he finished speaking, the prison guard took out a black plastic bag from the food bucket, avoided the camera's shooting angle, and opened it in front of Chen Banxian.

in……

It was Xiao Yu’s head.

"..."

Chen Banxian opened his eyes wide in shock, stretched out his hands to grab the railing, looked closely for a while, and raised his head in disbelief: "You...what are you doing..."

"Take your grandson to visit the prison."

"..."

Chen Banxian's lips began to tremble slightly, and his eyes turned red instantly.

"Have you seen enough? You will have to be sent to the women's prison soon. Give it to your two disciples."

"…Are you a beast?"

"Don't swear at me." The prison guard's face turned cold. He put away the plastic bag and put it back into the food bucket.

"You will not be rewarded..."

"Your family is the one that has never gotten a good reward. You're still trying to reign in terror. What the hell." The prison guard dragged the lunch bucket and walked away muttering.

Only Chen Banxian was left, holding the railing tightly with both hands.

The knuckles cracked.

"Beep, beep, beep -"

The black snare on his neck instantly lit up a red light!

All the strength was immediately drained away...

……

Lee Ward is truly a man of his words.

He really took Xiao Yu's head away and showed it to Xiao Yu's family.

Because his "gaseous consciousness" was still bound around his physical torso, Xiao Yu had no idea how his family would react after seeing his corpse.

But if you think about it from the perspective of the prostate, you know it will be cruel.

'Lee Ward.'

"This BYD..."

Forced to suppress the anger.

Xiao Yu hid above his freezer, quietly waiting for his "body" to become more substantial.

At the same time, continue to listen to more external news from the researchers who come and go...

One year and three months after his death: an organization called the Golden Age Alliance was defined as a terrorist group by the Federation.

One year and five months: The federal government has widely promoted the "limiter". This is a device that can release high-voltage current continuously through sharp steel needles to limit human "supernatural power". When it is put on the neck, it is a full limit. When it is put on the wrists, ankles and other limbs, it is a half limit.

One year and seven months: The world's education system has been reformed. The scientific method of "physical fitness" has been integrated into compulsory education for all.

One year and eight months: A member of parliament proposed that, for the sake of public safety and social stability, all citizens should wear half-limited limiters, just like banning guns. The parliament passed it unanimously.

One year and eleven months: Law X-11001 was enacted, dividing eight billion people into three categories. Citizens, wearing half-front restraints. Criminals and dangerous elements, wearing full-front restraints. Special personnel, no need to wear restraints. These special personnel include federal civil servants, federal soldiers, public security police, wealthy people who paid large deposits, high-risk workers, and students admitted to military, police, federal defense and other schools.

Year 2: Resistance broke out in various places, and the Federation defined it as a crime of subversion and crimes against humanity and suppressed it. This was the first time that the Federation had a large-scale confrontation with local opposition forces.

Two years and two months: For unknown reasons, voices supporting "Xiao Yu" have risen again on the Internet. The "kneeling statues of Xiao Yu" in a few cities have been destroyed. Attention to "Xiao Yu's family" has reached an unprecedented high.

Two years and four months: The trend of local autonomy has taken shape. The federation has once again entered a period of reform.

Two years and five months: The biggest event! The Federation merged into the Global University Alliance. With universities in various places as the base point and education as the tentacles, it extended to all high schools, middle schools and elementary schools. It deeply tied bureaucracy and education together, forming a new ruling situation.

Two years and seven months: The nominal Human Federation was officially dissolved. Avril, Lee Ward's former secretary, became the first president of the "Anthropology Society". The Anthropology Society received widespread support, and the chaos that had lasted for two and a half years in civilization gradually subsided.

Two years and eight months: Without any constraints, after several months of cold treatment, the popularity of "Xiao Yu's Family" quickly cooled down.

Two years and nine months: Talent screening becomes the key to whether a person can leap up the social ladder. Most of the individuals with extraordinary abilities are included in the "Anthropology Society" and dispersed to official units such as the army, police stations, universities, and high schools.

Two years and ten months: To celebrate the new era of mankind, the "Anthropological Society" calls for a competition open to the whole world. All citizens can participate. The proposed opening date is exactly 3 years into the new era.

Two years and eleven months: Xiao Yu's body, which was almost frozen in the freezer, was airlifted to the East District and handed over to the only relative still in the outside world - Xiao Jiji...

……

"All expenses for nearly three years, including transportation costs, totaled 6.24 million."

"I...I don't have...that much money."

"The only option is to take out a loan. The University Association can give you a loan at a low interest rate of 3 percentage points."

"..."

"You have to pay this money." Standing next to a huge aviation box, a staff member of the Anthropology Society in a white shirt stared coldly at the eight-year-old girl in front of him.

"...I have no money." Xiao Jiji lowered her head, a black limiter around her neck, and her hands nervously adjusted her torn sleeves.

"Why are you taking so long? I told you, if you don't have money, you can take out a loan." The staff member was impatient and stretched out his hand: "Give me your ID card."

"..."

Biting her lips, Xiao Jiji's eyes turned red as she slowly took out her ID card from her pocket.

"Snapped!"

The staff member snatched it away and swiped the ID card on a small electronic device.

"Di Di-"

"Okay." Throwing the ID card back, the staff member relaxed: "Your family member's body can be taken away."

"Thank you." Xiao Jiji bent down and picked up the ID card on the ground. She looked timidly at the airline box.

"...How can I put it?" Without the pressure of performance, the staff saw the pitiful appearance of the little girl and sighed: "During this period of time, you can eat something good. Eat something good."

Millions of dollars.

A small child naturally cannot carry it.

Even next month's loan cannot be paid.

If that doesn't work, then the higher-ups will naturally have a reason to send her to prison...

As an employee of the Human Society, he naturally understood that those "masters" could no longer hold back and were about to take action against Xiao Yu's family.

"Good luck." He reached out and patted Xiao Jiji's slender shoulders. The staff member put on his hat and turned away.

Leave this orphanage.

"..."

Pursing her lips, Xiao Jiji walked step by step to the airline box, stretched out her little hand, stroked the smooth shell of the box, and tears fell in big drops.

"Get this crap out of here!" From a distance, the director of the orphanage, who had been observing quietly, said with a stern expression, "I don't think you dare to let it in."

"...I know, auntie."

Wiping the tears from her eyes, Xiao Jiji grabbed the handle of the airline box with both hands and dragged it towards the door of the orphanage.

"Close the door!!"

"it is good."

In the past few months, as fewer and fewer reporters and bloggers came to interview her, the attitude of the orphanage from top to bottom towards her became worse and worse.

Children of the same age are especially good at guessing adults' attitudes.

So compared to the hard times during this period, being yelled at was nothing...

"Wow—"

"Wow--"

Because she was a direct relative of the "evildoer", although Xiao Jiji did not have to go to jail, she was labeled as a "dangerous element" and was given a full sentence limit.

Therefore, her current strength is no different from that of an ordinary little girl before she was upgraded to another dimension.

Even with all his might, he could only drag the 100-pound aviation box a dozen meters away.

"call--"

After gasping for a few seconds, Xiao Jiji put his hands on his hips and looked around the street, trying to find help.

But which of the neighbors doesn’t know her?
Can't even hide.

They all pretended not to see it.

Xiao Jiji had no choice but to continue pulling the box alone.

From morning to noon.

From noon to evening.

If one side of the airbox is worn out, replace the other side.

If the other side is worn out, replace it with the other side.

Finally, before it got completely dark, the airline box containing Xiao Yu's body parts was dragged to the outskirts of Baicheng.

"what……"

Stopping in a grove of trees, Xiao Jiji was sweating and dirty. He glanced at the sky and turned away.

Gone...

gone……

...... "......"

Xiao Yu, who had turned into mist and was suspended in mid-air, said: "..."

'You just left your nephew here?'

Not a moment later.

A woman who had been following secretly came forward and curiously opened the lid of the airline box.

Xiao Yu's head was staring at her.

“What the hell!!”

The woman was so frightened that she jumped up, fell to the ground, and quickly ran away, crawling away.

the next day.

Daybreak.

Xiao Jiji is here again.

He held a small shovel in his left hand and a bucket of soybean oil in his right hand.

He walked to the airline box, hesitated, and opened the lid.

Even after nearly three years, she still remembered the face in the box clearly.

"..."

"elder brother……"

Tears as big as beans began to fall again. Xiao Jiji bit her lips, held back her tears, and poured tons of soybean oil into the airline box.

Xiao Yu: “…”

Then he picked up a branch from the ground, took out his lighter and lit it, took two steps back, and carefully threw the burning branch in.

"..."

"Why not?"

Xiao Yu: “…”

"Why isn't it lit?" Xiao Jiji tilted his head in confusion.

After thinking for a long time, she took a bigger branch and lit it.

扔~
Xiao Yu: “…”

Xiao Yu's body, soaked in soybean oil, still did not catch fire.

"Why."

Xiao Yu: "You might as well get some alcohol."

After circling the aviation box for a few times, Xiao Jiji moved closer, dipped his hand in a little oil, and tasted it with his tongue: "...It's oil."

"Ah."

"Well."

With his hands on his hips, Xiao Jiji frowned, stared at the airline box for a long time, then turned around and ran into the depths of the grove.

Soon, a pile of firewood was brought in.

They built a stove with stones, placed the airline box on top, and piled firewood underneath.

Take out the lighter.

ignition……

This time it finally worked.

Black smoke was billowing.

"Great!" Xiao Jiji wiped the sweat from his forehead with relief: "It's burning."

Xiao Yu: “…”

Xiao Yu: "You are grilling here?"

Watch the fire for a while.

Xiao Jiji immediately started another task.

Picking up a shovel, he worked hard to dig a hole two meters away from the fire.

She was put on a full limiter, suppressing all her strength. But her physical strength after upgrading will not be restricted.

So Xiao Jiji dug less with each shovelful.

But if you keep going, you will eventually dig a big hole.

"Bang!"

Throwing away the shovel, she turned to look at the fire.

Xiao Yu: "Don't look at it, it's just cooked. It still needs to be cooked."

"Eh?"

Xiao Jiji was stunned and looked around.

'Can you hear me? Hello! Xiao Jiji! Hey! Up there!'

"..."

Xiao Jiji blinked and saw only a thin layer of morning mist drifting by. Thinking that he was hallucinating, he ran into the woods with his short legs and picked up firewood again.

sun.

Then it began to fall slowly.

After Master Xiao Jiji burned it forty-nine times.

Xiao Yu ultimately failed to turn into ashes.

But in Xiao Jiji's opinion, it was almost done. All the "blackened" fragments were buried in the pit.

He shoveled the soil vigorously and piled it into a small mound.

"thump……"

After doing all this, she finally squatted down, staring at the mound, letting the evening sun slowly fall.

"..."

When the sky turned completely dark, the sound of a girl's wailing could be heard on the outskirts of the white city.

……

Next month.

Every morning at dawn, Xiao Jiji would come to the grove on time, hug his knees with his arms, sit quietly beside the mound, and stare blankly.

Leave after dark.

Come again when it's daybreak.

Xiao Yu, who was in gaseous state, also became inexplicably calm and kept floating above the grave, waiting for Xiao Jiji to appear every day.

Two people, once again, in different spaces, in the same world, guarding each other from afar.

But the difference this time was that it was Xiao Yu's turn to be speechless.

"elder brother."

"Today should be the last time I...see you."

On the last day of three years since Xiao Yu's death, Xiao Jiji finally spoke.

"So much money...I can't pay it back."

"They gave me their final notice last night."

"They said if I don't pay back the money tomorrow, they will arrest me. But I asked some adults and they said if you owe money, at most they will collect the debt. It's rare to arrest someone."

"..."

Xiao Jiji buried her little head between her legs and sobbed softly.

"..."

"elder brother."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to see you again."

"I don't want to be alone anymore. I miss you guys..."

"..."

"I once had a dream. A monster seemed to take off my head, and then everything in the dream was black."

"After they catch me tomorrow, will they also take off my head?"

"elder brother."

"..."

This night.

Xiao Jiji did not go back.

She fell asleep while hugging Xiao Yu's grave.

When the sky became bright again, a group of people walked over from a distance.

"She's here! I said this kid was hiding here!" The orphanage director led everyone and shouted, "She has been running here every day for the past month."

"Well."

Xiao Jiji was woken up, opened her eyes dazedly, and looked at the people who came: "...Auntie."

"Get up!" The female dean walked to Xiao Jiji with everyone, her expression serious: "They are the officials of the University Council Court. Hurry and say hello."

"No need. Xiao Jiji, right?" A middle-aged man in a robe stepped forward, turned on his tablet computer, and compared the photos: "You borrowed a low-interest welfare loan. The interest rate is very low, but you must repay it on time every month. This month you have to pay back 164,800."

"..."

In silence, Xiao Jiji stood up timidly: "I...I don't have any money."

"Then come with us." Putting away the tablet, the middle-aged man in the robe was not surprised at all. He took two steps back and waved his hand: "Take her away."

Xiao Jiji bit her lip and looked back at Xiao Yu's grave with reluctance.

"Is that Xiao Yu buried here?" The middle-aged man in the long robe looked him up and down with interest: "The first 'evolved' human, and this is the final outcome. It's quite interesting."

"Can...can it be delayed for another month? I heard..."

"Take him away." Interrupting Xiao Jiji's words, the middle-aged man in the long robe turned and left.

Two subordinates immediately stepped forward, one of them grabbed one of Xiao Jiji's hands and followed.

“…Crash.”

But at this moment, a very clear sound of mud rolling down suddenly sounded.

Everyone present had reached a higher dimension, so they naturally had sharp hearing. They all paused and looked towards the source of the sound in confusion.

It’s Xiao Yu’s grave!
"Wow--"

Accompanied by the rapid cracking and shaking of the earth bag.

A finger slowly emerged from the mud.

"..."

Everyone present was stunned.

"Crash!!!"

And then... a muscular palm.

Everyone present: "..."

Xiao Jiji: “…”

"Gulu."

Swallowing his saliva in disbelief, Xiao Jiji walked back to the grave in a daze, looking at the hand in a daze.

"Shh!"
