The governor’s attitude was also very good. “At the moment, this virus only exists in our Federation’s Central City. As long as the antidote is successfully developed, the illness will definitely be effectively controlled. However, if the virus expands to the entire country, the cost of consumption will definitely increase greatly.”

“So what you’re saying is that you have to sacrifice healthy people like us so that you don’t consume too much of these so-called costs?”

The man felt that he would not get the outcome he wanted if he continued to talk about this matter. The gaze in his eyes gradually became fierce. “Ordinary people like us are not pushovers. We can be pinched by anyone. Don’t blame us for taking some necessary measures to protect ourselves.”

“What do you mean by that? Are you threatening me?” the governor asked.

“You’re the governor, and we’re just ordinary people. It’s definitely not a threat. But we won’t let ourselves and our families be in such a dangerous environment,” the person replied.

“I’ve spent a lot of effort persuading you here for a long time, but I didn’t expect you to not know how to appreciate it at all. Let’s put aside what 1 just said. Now that the country is in danger, who doesn’t persevere in their posts! Who doesn’t want to go home to hide or leave this place?”

The governor’s words gradually became sharp, and his gaze gradually became extremely aggressive. “But you actually want to cause social unrest. To tell you the truth, if you really dare to take riot measures, the armed forces behind me are not to be trifled with. The spots in the prison are still enough.”

“Governor, I’ve already understood what you mean. In that case, there’s no need for us to continue talking.” The man tightened his grip on the iron rod. He had the intention to attack at all times. “I’ll ask you one last time. Can you undo the lockdown on the Federation’s central city and let us, who are fine, leave here first?”

“Isn’t my attitude obvious enough?” The governor’s answer was very powerful. “It’s impossible to undo the lockdown. Either everyone go back and wait for the news, or go to the police station.” As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand. The SWAT officers behind him were also on guard. They even put their hands on the truncheons at their waists.

“Okay, don’t regret what you’re saying now.”

The atmosphere between the two of them reached a freezing point at this moment. Neither of them spoke and just stared at each other.

The moment their eyes met, a smell of gunpowder filled the air, and one could see the dissatisfaction in their hearts.

Just as someone was about to lose control of their emotions and explode, Zhou Xuan stood between the two of them and broke the awlward atmosphere.

“I don’t think the two of you should continue this stalemate. You’re just looking at the problem from your own perspective. In the end, neither of you is wrong.”

Zhou Xuan first stretched out his hand to separate the two of them for a distance, then began to express his opinion. “The governor and the armed forces are only obeying the orders given by the higher-ups for the sake of everyone. The common people just want to let themselves and their families live or see some hope of survival.”

“President Zhou is right. We don’t really need to undo the lockdown. 1 grew up in the Federation’s Central City. I don’t want to leave this place where I grew up.”

The man agreed with Zhou Xuan’s words. “We just want the governor to give us some hope. Who can live forever in such a depressing environment? Who doesn’t want to live a normal life like before?”

“I understand everyone’s thoughts. That’s why I’m here today to solve the problem for everyone.”

Zhou Xuan smiled and patted his chest with one hand. “Didn’t you say that what everyone wants is some hope in life? I can give it to you.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the two people beside Zhou Xuan displayed two completely different reactions. As a member of the ordinary people, when the man heard this, he naturally could not suppress the excitement in his heart..
