Chapter 318: Interests and Morality and the Zombie Project
An hour out to sea, according to the distance, Liberty City will not be visible in any way.
But Wang Xu looked back and felt that Liberty City was not far away, as if he could arrive in ten minutes after returning.
Touching his chin, Wang Xu thought of two possibilities.
The first is that Liberty City is constant, its size and visibility, and it is not limited by distance.
The second is that Liberty City hasn't changed, it's that he hasn't gone far, it's like running on a treadmill, it looks like he's running forward, but it's actually just standing still.
Wang Xu stopped the yacht and carefully observed the water surface.
The sea is still the same sea, and it doesn't seem to be anything special, as if it's just that he thinks too much.
But under this calm, Wang Xu became more and more sure that he was driving a boat on the sea level, and the sea was the track of a treadmill, and he fell into a treadmill-like ocean.
Sitting on the boat and lighting a cigarette, Wang Xu let the yacht drift with the tide, quietly looking at Liberty City in the distance.
After smoking a cigarette, he hung his watch on the rudder and steered the yacht back to the rear.
Fifteen minutes later...
"!"
It took an hour to sail south, but when he returned to Freeport, Wang Xu only took fifteen minutes.
There was something wrong with the sea, and I am afraid that fifteen minutes after he left the port, he would fall into the treadmill-like sea.
It looks like it's moving forward, but it's actually standing still, and the yacht moving forward is just an illusion.
Ignoring the enthusiastic call of the charter merchant, Wang Xu ran to the other end of the port and took the ferry to the ticket window.
Spending 30 US dollars to buy a ferry ticket, Wang Xu sat with a family of three, waiting to go to sea again.
With the whistle of the ferry in his ears, Wang Xu looked at his watch frequently, waiting for the appearance of the barrier line, he wanted to try the way these people traveled, whether it would be different from him.
Ten minutes later, the barrier line had not yet appeared, but in a family of three, the little girl holding the doll asked him curiously: "Uncle, why do you always look at the time, do you have something urgent to go to Philadelphia?" ”
"yes!" Wang Xu replied casually, and he was not interested in chatting.
Seeing that Wang Xu didn't want to speak, the person who suspected the little girl's father took her back into his arms and didn't let her bother Wang Xu again.
Another five minutes passed, and the barrier line still didn't appear.
Wang Xu looked at the sea, the speed of the ferry is much slower than that of the yacht, and the yacht encounters the barrier line in fifteen minutes, and I am afraid that the ferry will need to go for twenty minutes.
Gently patting his watch, Wang Xu looked up at the sea.
The little girl who was hugged by her father, as if she liked to talk to him, actually broke free from her father's embrace, and came up again and asked, "Uncle, what are you doing in Philadelphia, can you tell Anne?" ”
"I..."
As soon as Wang Xu wanted to be perfunctory, he looked out the window and found that the bow of the ferry was slowly disappearing.
This is a real disappearance, as if there is a black hole in the space ahead, starting from the bow of the ship and swallowing backwards, and the ferry is slowly but surely disappearing into the sea.
Wang Xu's eyes widened, he raised his hand and pointed to the front, and said loudly: "Look at it!" ”
"See what?"
The passengers on the boat looked out one after another, and then looked at Wang Xu with a puzzled expression.
Wang Xu glanced at the surroundings and found that the situation of the hull was invisible to everyone, and only he could see it.
The vanishing continues, the bow of the ship is completely gone, and it is continuing towards the hull.
Wang Xu sat in his position and watched the row of people in front of him disappear without a trace in the conversation and laughter, while the others said and laughed without a reaction.
"!" Wang Xu didn't dare to try, if he sat still and didn't move, would he disappear with him, and where would he go after he disappeared.
As soon as his right foot stepped on the cabin, Wang Xu flew backwards.
Anne looked at him in surprise, her small mouth turned into an O-shape, and she said loudly: "Mom, there is Superman!" ”
Puff !!
Superman in the eyes of the little girl, jumped off the boat with a quick step and plunged directly into the sea.
Emerging from the sea, Wang Xu's last gaze was fixed on the last picture of the entire ferry disappearing.
The space ahead is like a black hole, looking like clear water and blue sky, but it swallows up the entire ferry.
Wang Xu gasped for breath, and the next second he thought that he didn't know water at all, and he was a landlubber from the north.
Grunt...
A burst of bubbles turned out, and Wang Xu sank into the sea.
If it was an ordinary landlubber, it was estimated that it would have drowned like this, and only Wang Xu could still rescue it.
Wang Xu doesn't know water, but the true qi in his body is endless, and it doesn't matter if he holds his breath for a short time.
While holding his breath, Wang Xu was messing around, wanting to get back to the water.
But this was not easy, he tried several times in a row and failed, and in desperation, he could only release the robot in the space ring.
Rumble!!!
At Wang Xu's signal, the robot activated the rocket ejector and flew out of the sea with him.
Looking at the sea below, Wang Xu faintly felt afraid.
What he feared was not that he didn't know how to water, but that the ferry would disappear.
Although he didn't know what would happen if he didn't jump into the sea, thinking about that extremely strange picture, I am afraid it would not be a good thing.
"The place where the ferry disappeared should be the location of the barrier line, what exactly does it represent. Boundary lines, partitions, or in-game background walls? I can see the ferry being swallowed up and others can't, why is that, because I'm an alien species and haven't been affected by data? ”
Grabbing the robot's arm, Wang Xu looked at the sea under his feet, and there was too much puzzlement in his heart.
A gust of cold wind blew, and Wang Xu felt that his clothes were wet, and it was very uncomfortable to wear them.
The true qi in the body traveled all over the body, and the soaked clothes suddenly regained their dryness.
Wang Xu retracted his gaze and commanded at the robot: "Take me to the south." ”
The robot activated the jet and flew south with Wang Xu.
Half an hour later, Wang Xu stopped the robot because he found that even in the air, there was a barrier line.
According to the speed of the robot, half an hour's flight is enough to fly around Liberty City several times and fly a distance of hundreds of miles.
After comparison, Wang Xu found that Liberty City was still so far away, indicating that not only the sea, but also the air was affected by unknown laws.
Not at sea, not in the air, the whole Liberty City is shrouded in unknown positions.
Wang Xu had to sigh, if this world was only one main world, Liberty City, even if he could infinitely reset and loot resources, it would be very frustrating for him.
Because today, Wang Xu's vision is already very high, and the materials obtained by Free City once are probably not as profitable as a bottle of evolution liquid when they are sold.
"Wait!"
Wang Xu suddenly paused and whispered, "Evolution liquid? ”
The evolution fluid is obtained from zombies, and as long as there are zombies, there will be evolution fluid.
Grand Theft Auto World can be reset indefinitely, and Liberty City alone has a population of more than 12 million.
If the zombie virus is introduced into this world, will it infect tens of millions of people in minutes, plus the characteristics that it can be reset, will it be infected once a day, and it will continue endlessly.
Even if there are 100 zombies and a crystal nucleus, 10 million people are still 100,000 crystal nuclei.
The Grand Theft Auto world is not worth much, but the crystal nucleus is worth it, and in a stable, daily place with 100,000 crystal nuclei, this value is too great.
"Destroying a world, just to harvest crystal nuclei endlessly, is the person who does this still human?"
"Why don't you count, the Grand Theft Auto world can be reset indefinitely, and the people here are just like the NPCs in the game, they will be refreshed as long as they are a day, are the people who can refresh still people?"
"The definition of a human being is a mind, and when an NPC has a mind, how is it different from us. Who dares to say that in the eyes of other civilizations, we humans are not the same products as NPCs. Good is good, evil is evil, you ask your conscience, the little girl who talks to you, can you treat her as an NPC? ”
"Morality is used to restrain the weak, and the strong will be above morality. Without them creating zombies to obtain crystal nuclei, these NPCs will also be reincarnated day after day, and there is nothing wrong with waste utilization. ”
"Waste utilization, who is waste, who wants to be used by you, and who can you represent. If there is a stronger person appearing, will you also be able to use your waste, who can be deceived by this self-deceptive statement. ”
In Wang Xu's mind, heaven and man were at war for a while.
One of the ideas is called profit, the left eye is written with benefit, the right eye is written with benefit, and all that can be seen is benefit.
Another idea is called the bottom line, he has his own scale, and the scale pole carries morality and conscience.
With his own interests on the one hand, and his own morality and conscience on the other, Wang Xu fell into a dilemma.
Because even for him, it's not an easy choice.
