#493 - Chapter 493 Some People Demoted and Some People Promoted

These downgraded personnel who were surrounded didn't dare to move rashly.

They could only continue to shout, venting their innocence and regret.

But no one paid attention to them.

The people watching from the outer circle were mostly not related to them, so why would they jump out to plead for them at this time?

Moreover, everyone knew the base's style of doing things to some extent.

Except for a few who had relatives.

"How could my son be downgraded!? He's very well-behaved! He usually works very hard! There must be something wrong here! I want to see your leader! I want to see the leader of your base!!"

Zhao Xin's mother, Zhu Fen, yelled hysterically!

Her precious son was actually one of those being downgraded!

As a mother, she couldn't accept it at all!

Of course, the team members responsible for guarding these downgraded personnel wouldn't pay attention to her. Even Wang Yang, who was leaving, only glanced back at her before continuing to leave.

Just kidding, these people were all personally approved by the leader; there were no exceptions.

Zhao Zhigang, who was next to Zhu Fen, was also anxious and flushed, not knowing what to do. He couldn't shout and yell like Zhu Fen, nor could he speak up to excuse or beg for Zhao Xin, because he knew his son's character all too well.

What to do!?

These 38 people were surrounded.

Among them, 4 were originally Level 3 personnel.

7 were Level 2 personnel.

The remaining 27 were Level 1 personnel.

Zhao Xin was in the ranks of Level 2 personnel.

Soon, under the supervision of armed combat personnel, these people were sorted and made to stand in formation.

"Level 3 personnel, step forward! You are downgraded to Level 2 personnel! Hand in your badges and get them re-modified! From now on, move to the Third Residential Area and engage in the construction of the Life Belt!"

"Level 2 personnel, step forward! You are downgraded to Level 1 personnel! Hand in your badges and get them re-modified! From now on, move to the Small Residential Area and only engage in the construction of the Life Belt according to instructions!"

"Level 1 personnel, stay where you are! You have completely lost the qualification to stay here! Hand in your badges! From now on, leave the Small Residential Area and find your own place to survive outside! No more Life Belt work will be assigned! In the future, the ratio of using supplies to trade grain with the base will be reduced to half of what it was!"

On the wall, Wang Yang walked to the wall of the sub-base and shouted to these people below.

Now that the downgraded personnel had been announced, there was no need to delay any longer; execute it immediately!

Instantly.

The faces of these people who were named were as ugly as if they had eaten shit.

Green Source Base was tearing off their faces in front of everyone!

Especially Zhao Xin, who believed that as a relative of a base cadre, he would actually end up in such a situation, which was simply the most humiliating thing imaginable!

"Huff-huff-huff!"

He clenched his fists, his eyes staring fiercely at those onlookers watching the show in the distance, and then fell on the base cadres on the wall.

Zhao Ling didn't come today; only Wang Yang and Tang Jinming, two cadres, were handling this "minor matter."

"I—"

Zhao Xin was just about to lift his leg and walk forward, and open his mouth to question the cadres on the wall, asking why they dared to downgrade even someone like him who had 'connections,' when someone next to him erupted ahead of time!

"I refuse!! You can't do this to me!! I'm not going outside!!"

Several Level 1 personnel walked forward a few steps with despair on their faces, shouting to Wang Yang on the wall.

They were indeed in despair.

After being downgraded, they were not only kicked out of the Small Residential Area, but they could no longer participate in the construction of the Life Belt, and even if they found supplies to trade with Green Source in the future, it would be half as much as before!

Having gotten used to the original benefits, making them fall into hell again was simply unacceptable!

So they disregarded the gun muzzles pointed at them, forcibly walking forward a few steps, wanting to beg the base cadres above for mercy again!

Give them another chance!

They wouldn't dare again!

"Bang——!!"

A gunshot rang out!

"Bang——bang——bang——....bang——!"

Then there were several consecutive gunshots!

In everyone's terrified gaze, these seven or eight "former" Level 1 personnel, who had walked forward trying to break through the barrier, looked back in disbelief at the bullet holes that had appeared on their bodies.

They fired!

The combat team members, who had been arranged in advance and had received orders to fire if anyone tried to resist, resolutely carried out the orders!

In the terrified and trembling gazes of the remaining downgraded personnel, these seven or eight personnel, who didn't even let out a wail, fell into a pool of blood, their vital points having been hit and quickly dying.

Wang Yang on the wall coldly watched this scene.

He didn't specifically shout again: Is there anyone who doesn't accept this!?

No need to ask; at this time, no one would dare to not accept it.

Even if they didn't accept it in their hearts, they had to hold it in!

Zhao Xin's words, which were about to rush out of his throat, and the steps he had taken, stopped as if they had been cast with a magical confinement spell.

He looked in horror at the corpses less than 5 meters away from him, unable to say a word.

Almost...

Only a small number of people present were slightly flustered at the moment of the shooting, but then quickly calmed down when they saw the situation.

As expected of Green Source...

These people have really gotten used to the benefits, and have forgotten that this is not a place opened by some great philanthropist...

All those who rushed out were original Level 1 personnel, because the other Level 2-3 personnel were not as desperate as them, only their treatment was reduced.

Under everyone's gaze, several combat unit personnel took out brain crushers and skillfully applied them to the heads of each corpse, and then a truck drove over to load them onto the truck and dispose of them.

None of the downgraded personnel dared to say another word, and were dragged away like zombies to be assigned to where they were supposed to go.

Especially those who had lost their Level 1 qualification, their faces were ashen.

What awaits them may be a world more terrifying than death...

"Don't worry, everyone! Today, there are only so many downgraded personnel; they are all people who have looked down on our base or have been passively dealing with life and work during this period!"

"There must be rewards and punishments!"

"Today, some people are downgraded, and correspondingly, some people will be promoted!"

"Tonight, we will post a list of the newly promoted personnel on the bulletin board! Among them, some people will be promoted from Level 1 personnel to Level 2 and enter the Large Residential Area! And some people will be promoted from Level 2 to Level 3 and enter the sub-base!"

"This batch of promotions will have as many as 30 people!"

"I hope everyone works hard! And together, we can build our home!"

Wang Yang looked at the crowd who hadn't had time to leave, and dropped another not-so-small bomb!

30 people are going to be promoted!?

Moreover, some are going from the Small Residential Area to the Large Residential Area, and some can enter the sub-base!

"Wow!!! Could I be one of them!!?"

"Damn! I feel like I'm going to win this time!! My premonition is super strong, isn't it!!?"

"Damn it! I've been working so hard lately! Is it finally my turn to be promoted!?"

The common people, who were just in a low mood and worried, became noisy again!

This is a great thing!
