0142 Prisoners of War and Humanity - Down
Shen Xiao listened quietly to Xia Yi after what happened, and then looked at the Terrans who had taken revenge on the prisoners of war.
On their faces, Shen Luo did not see the relief and joy after revenge.
The Yongzhou City Broken Terrans suffered five years of enslavement, during which many Terrans experienced the pain of bereavement, and a deep hatred for the Beasts developed in their hearts.
For the beast clan, the Yongzhou human race hates to eat its flesh, drink its blood, draw its tendons, and crush its bones and ashes.
On the battlefield, they may not think too much, and will only kill the beasts without hesitation, but when they face these terminally sick plague beasts, as well as the old and young beasts, they are shaken.
In the final analysis, they are just a group of kind and ordinary ordinary people, who have always lived in an era of peace, have never felt the cruelty and pain brought by war, have been instilled with positive universal values since childhood, and stick to the moral bottom line in their hearts.
This bottom line made them unable to swing their butcher knives at the remaining orc captives after killing the unarmed adult prisoners of war.
The feeling of killing is not wonderful, and the thrill of revenge for a moment does not give them relief, and the only person who can enjoy the pleasure through killing is the pervert.
As a result, the contradictions from human nature tormented them for life.
Some people hate their conscience as human beings, they hate their inability to wield a butcher's knife, and they feel guilty about their deceased relatives.
Some people are terrified of their conversion, afraid that they have become demons because of hatred, and they feel an inexplicable sense of guilt.
Some people are in self-doubt, doubting what they have done, and cruelty to the enemy is a double-edged sword, killing the enemy and stabbing themselves at the same time.
It has to be said that human nature is always complex, and in the face of prisoners of war, everyone will have different emotions.
As a human civilization, it has a ruler in the treatment of prisoners of war, and it is said in ancient times that killing prisoners is ominous and contrary to benevolence and righteousness.
Even if Bai Qi and his ilk are forced to kill their captives in desperation, they will eventually leave a name as a god of killing in history, and blame their bad ending on hurting heaven and peace.
Even in modern world wars, there has been an international convention that sets humanitarian standards and stipulates the treatment of war victims, prisoners of war and civilians in time of war.
The human world has experienced countless wars, and in the process, mankind has been reflecting on war.
The so-called war is conditioned by its specific environment and background factors, and it is not just about justice and injustice.
War is a choice, and it is difficult to classify it simply as a right or a wrong choice.
After all, where civilization exists, there will inevitably be contradictions such as grievances, hatred, and interest disputes, and different contradictions will lead to different wars.
And war destroys humanity, and if there is no humanity, is humanity still human?
The answer is no, because man is always man, a sensual and intelligent race, and even if he is in darkness, his heart will be turned to the light.
Therefore, in war, we can always show the best side of human nature and maintain the pursuit of beauty and hope.
Xia Yi concluded: "You have also seen that everything that should be killed has been killed, and the remaining orcs are all old, young, sick and disabled, and they don't know what to do!"
Shen Luo had the urge to scold his mother in his heart, he looked at Fu Yao and said, "Didn't you say that the generals will not be subject to military orders abroad, in fact, you can make your own decisions!"
Fu Yao said: "That sentence refers to the fact that when the enemy is facing the enemy, the battle situation is changing rapidly, and as the commander, you must make your own decisions so as not to delay the fighter." ”
Shen slightly pursed his lips: "You iron-blooded tough guy, can't you do it?"
Fu Yao said: "I am a soldier, not a butcher, I will not blink my eyes when I am asked to kill the enemy on the battlefield, as for the handling of prisoners of war, I can only obey orders!"
Then he asked Shen Luo: "I understand the meaning of what you just said, do you mean that they were all shot?"
Shen Luo hurriedly stopped: "Don't, let me think about it again!"
Shen Luo's face was very calm, but he had already scolded in his heart: Wo Cao, Fu Yao, you bastard, what do you say at this time, what do you say to obey orders, and those adult beasts were not killed with your acquiescence? It's good now, let me be a wicked person!
It's just that Shen Luo can't shirk it, since he has taken over the supreme command from Tang Zhenshan, he has to assume the corresponding responsibilities.
So what to do? He was really struggling.
He thought about it for a while, and felt that anyway, when the Terran mission was completed and returned to the real world, the orcs would likely be punished by the task and be wiped out, and most of the sick orcs would be dead without treatment.
Since dying early and dying late is death, why not give them a good time and send them on their way early?
Thinking like this, he was about to say that he had been shot, but he inadvertently swept over the orcs again, and when he saw the desperate expressions on their faces, he suddenly had no way to give this order.
Shen Luo was very depressed in his heart, he couldn't understand when he was so virgin, these are all non-my race, sympathize with a fart!
But being obliterated by containment and being shot by his orders are two completely different things, the latter representing the murder he has committed.
Anyway, they will all die, and they will be banished outside the city and left to their own devices, so why should I add to this kind of murder?
No! Shen Luo suddenly vetoed this decision again. As the supreme commander, he should be decisive in killing, and now that the great war between the human race and the beast race is imminent, if he is merciful, it will definitely damage his morale!
But......
He felt as if he was being affected by something, and his heart softened, making him unable to do such a moral thing as killing the young and old orcs.
Wait! yes, that's not right!
He raised his eyes to look at Fu Yao, then at Fu Shun, then at Xia Yi, and then at the surrounding Terran soldiers.
He asked Fu Yao, "Brother Fu, what kind of person do you think I am?"
Fu Yao was stunned: "What do you mean, why do you suddenly ask that." ”
Shen Luo seemed to ask himself and answered: "As far as I know myself, I am actually a refined egoist!"
Shen Luo's evaluation of himself is a little too low, but this understanding is not unreasonable.
For example, he will hide some things for a certain purpose because of selfishness, which is self-interest, and then make up a legitimate reason for this, which is refinement.
Shen Luo commented on himself: "I am definitely the kind of person who abandons certain moral constraints in order to achieve a certain goal. For example, the spread of plague is destined to lead to indiscriminate infection, of which the old and young beasts must have the largest proportion of infection. ”
"I naturally know this outcome, but I don't have any hesitation at all, because what does it matter to me whether the orcs live or die, and the more the orcs die, I will only be happy and will never sympathize, because it means that the greater the possibility of the human race's success!"
"But now, I would hesitate to deal with these orc captives, it's not normal!"
Shen Luo stretched out his index finger and pointed at Fu Yao and Fu Shun in turn: "You are not normal, the two races of man and beast face each other across the river, and the big war is imminent, how can you waste time and hesitate on this kind of thing, where is the hatred in your hearts!"
Shen Luo followed his instincts and said, "So, everyone present was affected by something!"
"Are we affected?" asked everyone.
At this moment, a baby's cry resounded in the square, and all the Terrans heard a voice: "Interesting, it seems that the subconscious one is reminding you, right?"
As he spoke, an ugly monster suddenly appeared among the orc captives, it was the containment object-0 who came with the Nian puppet, but for some reason, it suddenly appeared here.
The Terran soldiers raised their guns to aim at Containment-0, but Fu Yao raised his hand to stop him: "Don't shoot yet!"
He said to the monster, "What are you?"
Containment-0 smiled and did not answer Fu Yao, but said to Shen Luo: "Shen Luo, you are really good!"
Shen slightly frowned and said, "Do I know you?"
Containment-0 said, "I said last time that I'm looking forward to meeting you next time, you see, it's not long before we meet again!"
Shen Luo frowned in contemplation, suddenly opened his mouth wide, and said in surprise: "You are containment-0? You, how can you be so ugly!"
Shen looked up and down, and "tsk" twice: "Sure enough, it's ugly people who make a lot of trouble, you can explain it yourself, what did you do to us!"
Containment-0: "It's just a simple experiment, a closer look at what is called humanity." ”
Shen Xiao smiled: "Okay, last time it was social relations, but this time it was changed to study human nature, you are really idle!"
Containment-0: "No way, I have to learn before I can be a human being." ”
Shen Luo silently drew the key point in his heart, to be a person? This damn old silver coin, it seems that he has not given up the matter of the physical descent, and the heart of human civilization is not dead!
Shen Luo seemed to be loose and teased: "You are really a good comrade who loves to learn, I personally think that the social relations you summarized last time are very good, and you will be reliable as soon as the etiquette arrives!
Containment-0 chuckled, "Want to know my observations of humanity?"
Shen Luo made a gesture of please: "I want to hear about it!"
Containment-0: "Humanity is humanity's greatest weakness, so I'm starting to understand a little bit of the Transcendental's choice!"
Shen Luo sneered: "Why are you still inexplicably involved in the detachment, are you complaining about the detachment's extinction of humanity, I said big brother, you yourself are not a good bird, haven't you always taken the extinction of human civilization as your mission?"
Containment-0: "That makes sense, so I'm annoyed when I see you there, indecisive and hesitant, maybe you don't know, you have only one way to die!"
Shen Luo snorted: "Thank you for your advice, let's stop talking nonsense, it's better to show the carriage and horses, and tell the truth, if you want to fight, we have done one, if it's just to show up and talk about the past, then that's it, it's good to go!"
Containment-0: "I'm here to help you, so don't you appreciate it, there's no need to be hostile to me, right?"
Shen Luo looked curious: "Oh, you come to help me?"
Containment-0 turned his head and said, "yes, because I see that you are very embarrassed, I can't help but want to solve these orcs for you!"
As soon as the words fell, the entire Yongjiang Square trembled, and in the next second, the ground where these orcs were located all collapsed, and tens of thousands of orcs fell underground in exclamation, followed by screams one after another from the ground.
The Terran side was also in chaos, but fortunately, Fu Shun and Xia Yi came out, and with the cooperation and command of other officers, the Terran soldiers set up a formation along the sunken pit.
Fu Yao asked Shen Luo quietly: "The situation is very wrong, there seems to be something underground, do you want to do it?"
Shen Xiao made a motionless motion, his eyes kept on Containment Object-0.
Containment-0 stepped into the air and said, "Shouldn't you thank me for solving this problem for you?"
Shen Luo nodded and said, "Well, I thank you for your whole family, thank you for the eighteenth generation of your ancestors!
Containment-0 chuckled, "That's not going to work, I still haven't seen a good show!"
After speaking, he saw the sunken ground suddenly rise, and he saw nearly 10,000 skeleton monsters appear in front of the Terran soldiers.
