Chapter 006 The Road to Heaven
But she was too late.
Meng Shisan picked up a screwdriver, gritted his teeth, and without hesitation stabbed it into his genitals.
"Hiss... Ah..."
The intense pain caused Meng Shisan to scream uncontrollably, and he collapsed to the ground in an instant, curling up into a ball.
One strike can make you poor, one strike can make you rich, one strike can lead you to the palace and the road to heaven...
Meng Shisan has never been the type to be threatened or manipulated.
Better to be a broken piece of jade than a whole piece of tile.
Moreover, he also possesses extraordinary self-healing abilities.
What is he afraid of?
It's just pain, he can endure it!
Enduring temporary pain in exchange for a lifetime of freedom is a worthwhile trade!
At this moment, Xu Xin's face was deathly pale, and the dazed look in her eyes gradually faded.
She didn't understand. Was I really that unattractive? Would you rather be a eunuch than have anything happen between us?
Pressing the emergency alarm device hanging on the wall instantly set off alarms throughout the Heroes' Tomb.
After doing all this, Xu Xin planned to give Meng Shisan some simple treatment.
How could Meng Shisan possibly let her have her way?
It just curled up on the ground, yelling and screaming.
Soon, a series of hurried footsteps approached, and a large group of people eagerly pushed open the door.
Leading the group was a group of doctors from the medical center, followed closely by a group of heavily armed security guards.
"What's going on?" The leading male doctor glanced at him and then had Meng Shisan carried into the infirmary.
After Xu Xin briefly explained the situation, the male doctor frowned deeply: "Quickly notify the base commander, I'll treat his wound first."
With Meng Shisan's accident, he, as the director of the medical center, cannot shirk responsibility.
Meng Shisan, lying on the hospital bed, still wanted to struggle, but when he heard someone shouting that they wanted to give him a sedative, he began to cooperate.
At this critical juncture, he had to remain conscious. In his desperation, he even forgot that he was in control of his own body.
Before long, another group of people arrived at the door.
"Why did this happen!" The man at the front, in his forties, had a square face and an imposing presence.
"I'm sorry, base commander, it's all my fault." Xu Xin clenched her fists nervously and recounted the whole story again, even including her conversation with Meng Shisan.
"Where did the screwdriver come from? Why would he have that in his room? I've repeatedly warned him what a pioneer's room can and cannot contain!"
How could you make such a basic mistake?
The base commander stared intently at Xu Xin. "Do you even know what he means to the base?! Ten of your lives wouldn't be worth one of his!"
"I was setting up the equipment in the room at the time, and he came back before I could put the toolbox away. It was my dereliction of duty, and I am willing to accept any punishment."
Xu Xin was also desperate. When she saw Meng Shisan pick up the screwdriver, she thought she would be the victim.
After all, this kind of thing has happened before. Anyone who knows that they risked their lives for the base only to be placed under house arrest would likely lose control of their emotions.
But she never expected that Meng Shisan would target her.
"Sigh..." The base commander sighed deeply, glanced at the closed door of the infirmary, and after a long while said, "I just hope he's alright."
"Even if this condition is cured, they probably won't cooperate with our plans anymore, and might even become a stumbling block to them. Rather than that, it's better to..."
The speaker was the same high-ranking base official who had been in the square earlier. He was also the head of the base's propaganda department, but his voice was very soft, so soft that only a few people around him could hear it.
"No way." The base commander immediately rejected his suggestion. "We just hailed him as a hero and erected a statue. If we kill him now, it will be difficult to explain."
"Actually, it's not so bad," the propaganda minister continued. "Once he's in this hero's grave, he won't have a chance to leave. The ordinary people in the base will still see him as hope, as a ray of light."
As long as we don't reveal his whereabouts, no one will care where he is.
Ultimately, he was merely a spiritual symbol.
"What do Cao Er and the others think? I heard that Yang Jiu has been making quite a fuss lately."
If Meng Shisan were to die right now, wouldn't they be completely unmoved?
Don't forget, in essence, they are the same kind of people.
If Meng Shisan's death triggers a backlash from these people, or even a collective strike, then the Hero's Tomb can be closed down.
Not only Meng Shisan, but even Yang Jiu cannot be touched for the time being.
We cannot kill someone simply because they have a different opinion.
This will only push more people to the opposite side of us.
What we need to do is get them to willingly dedicate themselves to the base.
Let them believe, from a spiritual perspective, that everything they do is meaningful and great.
Do you understand?
After the base commander finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
In fact, everyone knows that Meng Shisan is very special.
Seventy-two hours is not as simple as breaking a record. Three years ago, Cao Er's record was only thirteen hours.
His actions truly gave many people hope.
After an unknown amount of time, the door to the infirmary was pushed open. The director took off his gloves and mask before saying, "Your manhood is saved, but whether you will be able to have children in the future is still uncertain."
The key is his attitude…
Even the base commander fell silent at this point.
Yes, Meng Shisan's attitude is the biggest problem.
When a man is willing to give up even his manhood, his resolute attitude is self-evident.
"Is he still conscious? Can we go in now?" The base commander hesitated for a moment before asking.
"He's under local anesthesia, so his consciousness isn't affected, and he's in very good physical condition."
Upon hearing this, the base commander stood up and walked directly into the infirmary.
Seeing a group of people come in, Meng Shisan propped himself up to sit up.
Seeing this, the base commander quickly stepped forward to help.
"My name is Liu Jiaming. You may not have heard of me, but I have heard of you before." The base commander spoke after Meng Shisan sat up.
The tone was quite kind.
"I've never heard of him before. A base leader, perhaps?" Meng Shisan glanced at him, noticing the man from the plaza following behind, and immediately smiled, "Base Commander?"
He really didn't know.
This is similar to how many ordinary people in a county town know the county magistrate?
"You're very clever," the base commander laughed. "Since you're so clever, why would you do something so foolish?"
"Confused?" Meng Shisan leaned back and shook his head. "I don't think it's confused."
Many people might think that this is a case of the man getting the better deal, so what's there to be dramatic about?
But I want to say that not everyone thinks that way.
It is my freedom to have relationships with whomever I choose.
I am a human being, a living, breathing human being. As a human being, I have dignity that I must defend.
Dignity is worthless because we possess it, which makes it seem less important.
But when it lands on the ground, dignity becomes all the more precious.
"Is that so? I believe Xu Xin explained it to you in detail. In your view, your so-called dignity is more important than the future of the base? Or even the future of all humanity?"
The base commander spoke calmly, without any hint of blame.
Meng Shisan laughed, a very unrestrained laugh.
"Is it funny?" The base commander wasn't annoyed.
He nodded: "Why isn't it funny? What does the future of the base, the future of humanity, have to do with me?"
You don't really think I know nothing, do you?
After saying that, Meng Shisan chuckled softly, but his eyes were fixed on everyone.
"What do you know?" The propaganda minister asked immediately after he finished speaking.
Seeing this, the base commander turned around and glared at him before turning to look at Meng Shisan, also wanting to know what Meng Shisan knew.
This determined his attitude towards Meng Shisan.
