The man originally at the end of the civilian line heard An Zhe’s footsteps and looked back. Their eyes met. An Zhe felt a bit of awkwardness in the air. The next moment, An Zhe shifted his gaze to the wall next to him and the young man quickly turned back to the front.

They could be regarded as acquaintances. This was the boy who first pulled An Zhe into the protest line and called him a ‘comrade-in-arms.’ Just yesterday at the city gate, he was among those who protested the Judge and he had greeted An Zhe. However, An Zhe was wearing the Judge’s clothes and left with the Judge.

He didn’t want to talk to An Zhe and An Zhe didn’t want to talk to him. They lined up in silence like this. The interviewer was a man with thin silver-rimmed glasses and delicate facial features. Strangely enough, the line was shortened very quickly. Everyone was simply asked a few questions before being led to a passage behind the hall. Occasionally, a few people were asked to leave but the number was very small.

In an hour and a half, the line only had a few people left. Then it was the turn of the boy in front of An Zhe.

The interviewer made a pause gesture and picked up the communicator.

“Can you please trouble Colonel Lu to come as quickly as possible, in at least five minutes.” An Zhe heard him say. “We are making an exception to send these people to the main city. The security of the main city is the most important thing and no mistakes can be made. The Judge must be present.”

“Main city?” The boy in front of An Zhe was surprised. “We are going to the main city? It isn’t the city affairs office?”

“The situation is something we don’t want to see. The dramatic changes in the weather can’t be predicted and recovery of the dispersal centre isn’t something that can be accomplished in a short period of time. In order to ensure the safety of the main city, the judges must evacuate with us. Human interests above everything else. Please remember this sentence.”

He put down the communicator as he said this and glanced at the boy in front of him. The boy put the ID card on the sensor and a message jumped out on the screen.

Name: Colin

Age: 21

PG：3260070412

There was another screen in front of the interviewer and it should contain more detailed information.

Colin said, “I completed basic courses in mathematics, physics and biology.”

The interviewer nodded and returned the ID card. “Go to the right.”

It was An Zhe’s turn next. After swiping the card, he replied according to An Ze’s previous experience, “I completed a course in literature, language and economics.”

“It is a good result,” the interviewer said.
