Chapter 37 (I) The War in Miniature
Tang Shuxing immediately ran up the hill and lay down there watching, Gu Yan also lay aside, while Zmiya shrank behind the motorcycle, looking at the two people above impatiently, shaking his head helplessly, thinking that everything they did was very stupid.
"Tang Shuxing, you watch carefully." The voice of the ghost king appeared in the intercom again, and then the machine gun in the bunker fired, and the moment it swept past, the five soldiers of the ghost king army immediately fell, and the neck of one of them was directly broken by a large-caliber bullet, and the moment it fell, the head was also broken from the neck and rolled to the other side.
Holman led the soldiers to continue the charge, rushing towards the bunker, throwing smoke bombs, but the thing had almost no effect, and the moment the smoke was released, it was immediately blown away by the snow wind. Although the snow and fog were still filling, the machine gunner in the bunker was wearing a thermal sensor and could clearly see Holman and the others.
Just a machine gun, in a very short time, killed ten of Holman's soldiers, finally, Holman led the man into the bunker, threw in the shock grenade, grabbed the shotgun inside, first shot the machine gunner in both legs, then dragged the man out, dragged him into the snow, and shot him in the head in front of all the remaining soldiers.
Holman and his men then waved their hands in celebration as if they had won a rather heavy victory.
"See?" The Ghost King spoke at this point, "What did you see when Holman fired?" ”
Tang Shuxing was silent, he didn't know what to say.
"This is man, human nature. Everyone is the same, and without restraint, everyone is a beast and a madman. "The current world has just changed back to the state where human civilization did not appear, and if a society suddenly collapses, then it will face constant killing and inexplicable hatred." ”
Tang Shuxing finally said: "Don't you also hold hatred? If you don't, why would you kill the bandits here? ”
"Of course I have." The ghost king said, "I can't solve this matter, so I ask you for help, I used to think that this world is very ugly." But when the world becomes what it is. I realized how beautiful the world was before, and that the world was not ugly, but just that people refused to change. But everyone still sticks to their bottom line. At least people will have a certain education. Tell everyone what to do and what not to do, but the drive of profit will make everyone abandon their education when they are adults or about to become adults. Be part of the food chain. ”
"Yes." Tang Shuxing had to agree with the words of the ghost king.
"Do you know what's the saddest?" The Ghost King asked.
"The saddest thing is that we know what the consequences of doing certain things will be, but we still do them." Tang Shuxing replied.
"Yes." The ghost king said calmly, "Just like the example I gave earlier, in a civilized society, a person who breaks the law knows that he will be punished, but he will do the same thing, and he will take the same risk, in the final analysis, a lot of the time is for profit, but these are paradoxes that cannot be perfectly explained. ”
At this point, Holman and his men continued to charge, and by the time Holman and his men finally rushed to the base, Holman was the only one left, and he was seriously wounded.
"Please be careful, I'm going to unhypnotize Holman." After the ghost king finished speaking, he used the intercom to give a command to release the hypnosis, only to see Holman who was standing in front of the trench suddenly shook his head, looked around in surprise, and then threw away the gun in his hand, turned to look at the broken corpses behind him, touched the wound in his abdomen, and didn't know what was happening.
At this time, the ghost king said: "Let me explain to you in detail, after I captured them, I have been persuading them, but I have found that even if it works, it is only they pretending, they are just looking for an opportunity to kill me. ”
As soon as the Ghost King finished speaking, Tang Shuxing clearly heard Holman's shout from the snow wind, and he shouted towards the base: "It's the Ghost King, it's the miscellaneous pieces, it's him, he charges us, we didn't do it voluntarily, let me in, I'm going in, let me in, I'm hurt, please." ”
The ghost king smiled at this time: "You saw it? Do you think they are repentant? No, not at all, they don't regret the mistakes they made, as I sometimes think, I always feel that it doesn't matter what I do to survive, and at that moment I will forget about it, and it will be damned. ”
"Bah-" In the snow and fog, a large-caliber bullet hit Holman in the head, Holman fell directly to the ground, and then fell into the trench, Gandals on the distant snow slope pressed the intercom, "Target killed." ”
Tang Shuxing slid down the snow slope and asked, "Ghost King, you have said so much and done so much, I still don't understand what you want to do in the end?" Do you want to play the role of God? to punish these unrepentant people? This may be a good thing, but you have to remember that you can play the role of this god only on this island, not in the whole world. ”
"But!" The Ghost King suddenly spoke, "The qiē I did just now is all imitating the qiē that Reinhardt has done over the years!" Don't you get it yet? ”
Tang Shuxing was stunned for a moment, and recalled it carefully, it was indeed very similar, including the tone of the ghost king's speech, could it be that this person had anything to do with Reinhardthi?
"I know what you're thinking, I haven't seen Reinhardt, I know what he said, it's entirely because of those propaganda videos about this creator in the United States before the outbreak of the war, I don't know him, and I can't understand him, but I agree with one of his words, he said that people don't change themselves lightly, and they accept the fact that the environment changes, but there is only one time, people will voluntarily choose to accept it, and that is the moment of life and death." The Ghost King said calmly, "I've been thinking about what he's going to do, whether what he's doing is right or wrong, and I'm even thinking about what Dong Sanlu thinks about some times, thinking about whether what Reinhardt did should be supported or opposed, Tang Shuxing, I'm sure you've also thought about this issue." ”
Tang Shuxing didn't answer, just sat there for a long time before he said: "Ghost King, I'm a little annoyed, every time I am determined to do something, someone will always ask me this kind of question, and if I continue to ask like this, I will really think that what Reinhardt did is right." ”
"Very good, under my appraisal results, I think you are still the same Tang Shu torture as before, flesh and blood, brave and strategic, a normal person, we can meet." Although the Ghost King said this, his tone was very calm, "You can enter the base now and wait for me." ”
"What? In the base? You mean the base up ahead!? Tang Shuxing got up and asked, the ghost king didn't answer again, Tang Shuxing looked at Gu Yan, Gu Yan shook his head and said that he didn't know what was going on.
Tang Shuxing walked up the hill, looked at the trenches in front of him that were full of corpses, and the military base looming in the snow and mist, and said in a low voice, "The Ghost King asked us to wait for him at that base." ”
"Go there!?" Gu Yan pointed ahead and looked at Tang Shu's torture and said, "Isn't this equivalent to letting us go to death!?" ”
"No, no, the Ghost King won't." Tang Shuxing said that he actually walked forward, Gu Yan called him there, but Tang Shuxing walked directly to the front, at this time, Zmiya also got up, followed behind Tang Shuxing, Gu Yan couldn't stop the two, so he had to follow, and kept asking Tang Shuxing all kinds of questions along the way, but Tang Shuxing didn't say a word, he wanted to know if the answer he guessed in his heart was correct, as long as he walked to that base, there would be an answer.
Eventually, the three of them came to the curved trench, and then the door opened, and several men in military uniforms came out, dragging a steel plate, and then placing it on top of the trench for them to step on.
Tang Shuxing looked at the few people who looked like soldiers, nodded and walked over, Gu Yan did not put down the gun, still remained vigilant, and entered the gate of the base after walking in Zmiya, the group of people did not move the steel plate again, but followed them in, and then closed the gate of the base.
This base was built in a cave, but it was obvious that it had not yet been built, and there were still many people in it who were busy, men, women and children, and it could be seen that some were soldiers, some were just civilians, everyone performed their duties, and they were not too surprised by the arrival of Tang Shuxing and the others, but nodded politely to them, and went to their respective busy.
"This ......" Gu Yan was speechless for a while, "What's going on?" ”
Tang Shuxing shook his head: "I almost made a big mistake, if I help the group of people outside to get in, the consequences will be ......."
Gu Yan nodded: "The people living in this base are all real refugees. ”
"Via lied to me before he died." Tang Shuxing stood there and watched, no one greeted them, everyone was just busy, in a low cave in the distance, a woman with a group of children was in class.
Gu Yan also looked around: "It seems that Wei Ya also did what the Ghost King said, but at the same time, he also wanted you to make this mistake, what would happen if you helped them get in?" I also understand why there was only one Heavy in the trenches and bunkers outside. ”
As Gu Yan was talking, the small door next to him opened, and the voice of the Ghost King came from there: "That machine gunner is Holman's man, I won't let innocent people die in vain." ”
After the Ghost King said that, he slowly walked out of it, but when he came out, he was wearing a strange mask, like a face.
"You're not on a satellite island?" Tang Shuxing looked at the Ghost King and said, "You're right here?" ”
"Yes, I'm not on the satellite island, I've always been here, I'm just playing with you, because you played with me many years ago, I'm just returning your favor." After the ghost king finished speaking, he took off his mask, and the moment he took off the mask, Tang Shuxing was stunned in place, looking at the familiar face of the ghost king.
Gu Yan also looked at that face, recalling in his mind the information that Zhan Tianya had shown him, and finally pointed at the ghost king and shouted, "You are that Jincheng!" (To be continued......)
