This is certainly not just, but it is indeed a very \"correct\" way of doing things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding an unsolvable epidemic, the upper levels believe that sacrificing a portion of the people is better than sacrificing everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For several consecutive days, the passages to the upper levels have been closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is hard on the people at the bottom, and of course, it is also hard on the grassroots staff of the Bunker Health Bureau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of coughing, the sound of vomiting, the sour stench emitted by various fluids in the air... these things permeate the first residential level and the second functional level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people in the Health Bureau actually empathize easily with those at the bottom; aren't they also people from the bottom?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They only hope that the upper levels can send support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had thought this isolation from the upper levels would last a long time, but unexpectedly, today, a change suddenly occurred on the second level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hundreds of doctors from the upper levels, wearing hazmat suits, descended from the upper levels for the first time in history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not just doctors; following them were the Bunker Guard troops carrying weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a subordinate department of the Bunker Security Bureau, used to suppress internal unrest in the bunker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purpose of their sudden arrival today is because a miraculous building appeared on the second level of the bunker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That massive hospital, with a style completely different from all other buildings on the second level, descended into the bunker all of a sudden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One hour ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hospital that appeared out of thin air attracted many people from the bottom to watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the bottom, the one place where gangsters and thugs absolutely will not provoke trouble is the hospital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this suddenly appearing hospital had an indescribable sense of technology. It looked like a building from the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Patients are desperate for treatment, and with a hospital appearing at this time, naturally, some could not help but go to explore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As people kept pouring into this hospital, someone soon shouted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This was brought by someone codenamed Wen Xishu!

I believe we should initiate a higher-intensity interrogation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person speaking was not the director of the Bunker Security Bureau, but the secretary of the First Bureau of the Security Bureau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Director of the Second Bureau of the Bunker Security Bureau, pot-bellied, with a Mediterranean hairstyle, and a very authoritative air, said with a rather affable smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little comrade, don't be in such a hurry to draw conclusions. We also don't rule out that Comrade Wen Xishu is indeed a genius at exploring the Strange Tower.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moreover, the Xun family also mentioned the Three-Tower Joint Exploration Principle. The exploration of the Strange Tower is about to unfold in full swing.

If they appear again and kill indiscriminately in the Desire Tower, it will very likely lead to us being unable to explore the Desire Tower.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If Wen Zhaohua really helped Wen Xishu, then one cannot conclude that Wen Xishu is a genius; the Wen family members all deserve to die. How can such a person be reused?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Squeezing out his clues regarding Wen Zhaohua and then executing him is what should be done right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sixth Director is the youngest among all the Security Bureau directors, thirty-seven years old, having become a director through his illustrious military service.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, paired with a square face, gave him quite an imposing manner:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I said this woman would only ruin things, didn't I? Are you fucking listening to what you're saying?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's the matter? A person brought back a super facility sufficient to change the medical conditions of all bunker people, and it greatly relieved the resource pressure at the bottom, and might even solve this epidemic. We don't reward such a person, but want to execute him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is the law of this bunker really just decided by slamming the table? Or is it that you have already prepared to smear him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, the Director of the First Bureau of the Bunker Administration Bureau suddenly spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop arguing, everyone.
