Chapter 365 Ignorance breeds prejudice, prejudice breeds arrogance
The troublemaker was completely unaware of the arrival of the military police and continued to taunt:
"Why don't you speak?
Are you scared now?
You Sakotas are naive. In our eyes, the infected are not even human beings, but a group of walking sources of infection. Once you are infected by them, I wonder if you can still speak for them!"
After venting his anger, he noticed that Arturo was staring at the back of the team.
The troublemaker turned his head subconsciously, and then saw a military policeman pushing through the crowd and rushing towards him.
If he had just given up his sarcasm, Pyla would have had no way of finding him out, but as he kept talking, his tracks were already exposed.
"What were you talking about just now?"
As if she had heard the most horrifying thing in the world, Pyra stepped forward and grabbed the protective suit of the thorny head, with a ferocious expression under the mask: "You said the infected person is the source of infection?"
The troublemaker was so frightened by Pyra's terrifying aura that his heart skipped a beat. He subconsciously began to struggle:
"What are you doing? I am a citizen of Warrenmuth. I have not violated any law. My speech is free!"
"you are wrong!"
Pyra blurted out: "According to the ninth point of knowledge on the fifth line of page 21, the infected person is not classified as a source of infection!
Ore disease is not scary, ignorance is scary!"
The thorn was frightened and struggled to break free from Pyra's hands, shouting angrily:
"What's wrong with you? The infected are just a bunch of short-lived ghosts covered in disease. They spread the mineral disease wherever they go.
Didn’t we say yesterday that the infected people would also be allowed to attend the lecture? Now there is no one to be seen. I’m afraid that the people in the infected block have already died, and the ground is full of Originium clusters and Originium dust.
Bah! A bunch of short-lived ghosts, making our limited living environment in Warrenmud even worse!"
"Idiot, you are an idiot!"
Pyra laughed crazily and said, "I used to be such an idiot. I am such an idiot!"
The people around were frightened by his condition and hurriedly scattered, leaving a large open space around Pyra.
Pyra stood in the crowd, holding her head in her hands, reciting the knowledge points loudly:
"According to page 16, the second knowledge point in the third line.
The infected person himself is not contagious, and there will be no risk in normal contact with food. Infected people can also work in occupations such as chefs, butchers, and food deliverymen!
According to the first point on the first line on page 5, protecting the environment can effectively prevent the spread of mineral sickness. "
He suddenly raised his head and scanned the surroundings.
Even at the lecture site where a large number of people gather every day, clusters of Originium can still be seen everywhere.
No one was ever willing to take the risk to clean up these dangerous things...including them, the military police.
"We will all die, dying from our own prejudice and ignorance. We are the doomed short-lived ghosts in this city, and we are the culprits for spreading the mineral disease!"
Pyra raised her hand and pointed in the direction of the infected neighborhood, gritting her teeth and said, "Do you know that while you were still mired in internal friction and prejudice, the infected had already cleaned up the neighborhood where they lived.
There, children can play without worry, people can take off their protective clothing and breathe freely, food does not need to be carefully stored, and does not need to be eaten hastily after receiving it.
You are still immersed in your own world, looking down on those infected, but you don't know that they no longer care about you.
They now live only for themselves, and even under natural disasters, their lives are full of color.
How long has it been since you laughed?
I was endorsing books in the infected neighborhood last night, and all the infected people I met had relaxed smiles on their faces! "
Pira's shouts echoed throughout the lecture hall, and there was dead silence all around.
Everyone's face was filled with astonishment, and listening to Pyra's words felt like they were listening to an unrealistic and absurd joke.
But Pella's expression, that kind of inferiority and regret could not be acted out.
The other members of the gendarmerie wanted to step forward to stop Pira, but were stopped by Mochi, allowing Pira to vent the emotions that had been pent up throughout the day and night.
"What on earth happened to Pira?" a military policeman asked in disbelief.
Mochi shook his head slightly, with lingering emotion in his tone:
"The child's former pride and prejudice were forcibly torn off, thrown on the ground and trampled into pieces. He saw another world on this earth. If he is not allowed to vent, he will be suffocated by this emotion."
The gendarmes around were all in shock.
They were not fools. From Mochi's statement, they realized that what Pira said should be true.
But the non-infected residents looked at each other with only fear and avoidance in their eyes, thinking that Pyra was going crazy.
Noticing their stares, Pyra threw her head back and covered her face with her hands, laughing wildly.
But anyone could hear a hint of sadness in his laughter.
"The infected district is right there. You can go and see for yourself how ridiculous your ignorance and prejudice are." Pira pointed in the direction of the infected district, the sarcasm in her tone undisguised.
The non-infected residents still didn't believe it, but were intrigued by Pyra's crazy state.
After hesitating for a moment, one person took a step towards the infected neighborhood. With the first person taking the lead, the others followed and the crowd moved towards the infected neighborhood in a mighty manner.
Mochi walked against the crowd to Pyra, patted Pyra on the shoulder, and said soothingly:
"Calm down. Maybe you did a good thing. As long as you let the non-infected people see the truth, some people will come to their senses, and then you will save them.
Now we still have work to do to maintain order and prevent non-infected people from offending infected people."
Hearing the word 'offense', Pyra shuddered and regained her composure.
On the other side of the podium, Arturo and W looked at each other, both of them were a little surprised.
"Qi Yan acted so quickly, he wouldn't cheat and use blood to clean the streets, right?" W said unconvinced.
"Just go and take a look and you'll find out."
Arturo dropped the microphone and slowly followed the team.
The distance between the infected urban area and the non-infected neighborhood is neither close nor far. In less than an hour, the huge crowd arrived outside the neighborhood.
Their footsteps were like those of a well-trained army. They stopped in unison and then began to move forward slowly, bit by bit, as if if they walked faster they would rush into the Originium bush in the next second.
But soon, as they officially saw the appearance of the infected neighborhood, everyone fell into unspeakable shock.
John, who was guarding the street entrance, was also shocked.
"What's going on?" John subconsciously raised his broom and said nervously, "Don't come over here. You have Originium dust on you, and it will infect us!"
Non-infected team: “…”
They all fell into a trance.
Why does this sentence sound so familiar?
Finally, someone came to his senses first, pointed at the clean and tidy neighborhood, and questioned:
"Did you guys clean this place up?"
John remained alert and nodded, "Yes, is it difficult to clean up the neighborhood where you live?"
The non-infected people looked at each other, still feeling that it was a little unreal, but the facts were right in front of them and they had no choice but to believe it.
Most of the non-infected fell silent.
But at this moment, one person rolled his eyes twice, and suddenly raised his arms and shouted:
"I see. You infected people have antibodies to Originium, so you can easily clear the Originium bushes."
As soon as this statement was made, it was immediately accepted by most people even though it had no basis at all.
Some even had an idea and said excitedly:
“In that case, let you infected people clean up the entire Warrenmud!
We usually feed and tolerate you infected people, now it is finally time for you to be put to use!"
