Lin Sen followed behind Han Kongwen and watched her run through the empty city, screaming and laughing.

For some reason, Lin Sen suddenly felt an inexplicable peace and throbbing.

Person......

What exactly is it to live for.

Some people may say that I am here for a better living environment and quality, and some people will say that I am for my family and friends, but few people say that I exist to make the world full of color.

And now, Lin Sen sees such a person and looks forward to making the world no longer lonely.

Compared to the cold, silent world, man is perhaps the most unruly, the most noisy, the noisiest, and the most troublesome for all living beings.

But human beings have also proved the value of the world with their own existence.

Just like the current Han Kongwen.

She has been dead for a long time, and she can obviously be degenerated to the point of being useless, even hateful.

But she didn't...... She lives to exist for a better tomorrow.

She lives in the hope that this world will not be difficult and cruel, and it can be more gentle......

Just like when Xue Ming and those people gave up on Cerberus, what Han Kongwen was doing was not to cooperate with Xue Ming's order, but to look forward to using his own strength to complete the transcendence of these people.

Now, she's succeeding, and she's wandering the streets of the world of numbers.

Naked.

The naked body was not filthy or filthy.

She is the child in the Garden of Eden, the purest child, with good thoughts and hope for inheritance.

……

"Why did you refuse her?" Lin Sen's smile disappeared at the same time as Han Kongwen disappeared.

He was questioning Victoria, the master of the number order, who represented creation and order.

Victoria replied, "Because I'm afraid, I'm afraid that there is a group of beings in this world that I have no control over, who are like the new masters of this world, a group of self-righteous invaders, and I can't do anything but kill them." ”

Very straightforward answer.

Lin Sen has always been very clear about this answer, but he still has to ask it, because he needs Victoria's true expression.

"In your thinking of the number order structure, what is the world that should be? It's these silent, empty cities? Don't you feel scared? ”

After pondering for a while, Victoria replied: "No, fear is a luxury for me, I just expect that everything that exists will work in order, and the best state is to deny the will of the self, that is, to deny the human race." ”

Lin Sen laughed when he heard this, he shook his head while laughing: "No, no, no, you are wrong, you are still afraid, you are afraid that there are things in this world that you can't control, and they may hurt your existence, they are obviously in front of your eyes, but you can't be sure of their true thoughts, you can only watch them grow little by little, grow little by little, until you can't control it, what you are worried about is only your rights, not the development and continuation of this world, That's also the crux of the problem that you can never be human. ”

Victoria was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Become a human? Why should I be human? How could I expect to be them, the kind of weak, suspicious of each other, even if there is no end time, they will not live for a hundred years? ”

Lin Sen listened quietly, and after a long silence, he said, "Then why do you want me to protect you?" Why hope to live? ”

Alive? ……

Victoria fell into deep thought.

Oh, yes......

Why is an existence that already has eternity so attached to it, or even obsessed with it?

What is the reason for this?

Victoria has been thinking about this for a long time.

What is the purpose of existence?

Is it to witness and generate memories, or to linger for meaningless creation.

Are you scared or unwilling?

Was it code, or was it his real reaction?

Victoria was gone, and she fled without a word.

After Victoria disappeared from consciousness, Lin Sen also returned to the devastated city.

By this time, the city had completely fallen.

The life signals also disappeared from view.

All Lin Sen could see was endless mechanical life, entangled with endless number sequences.

They are like a dense forest that grows wildly, covering everything in shadow in the shade of the sky.

……

"Sister Yan, we are still seventeen kilometers away from the goal, and the current deduction data shows that our chance of success is less than 1%." Canaanite driver Corina Z1 followed behind Lin Yan.

Lin Yan did not refuse the support of her peers like in the blockbuster, but she also knew that everything she did could bury everything in front of her.

"Canaan, go back, don't go with me to die." Lin Yan's footsteps did not stop, and it took a lot of courage for her to say this.

When Canaan heard this, he replied, "Sister Yan, it's not interesting for us to talk about this kind of thing, if you can sacrifice, how can I survive!" It's better to let me die a glorious death! ”

After Lin Yan listened to Canaan's words, she understood, and she didn't say anything more.

……

When the two arrived at the target area locked by Qin Wen, it was already 1 p.m. on November 18, 103 in the Anno calendar.

Current data show that the number of survivors has plummeted to less than 20 million.

……

"We need to win." Amy muttered to herself in the basement.

After hearing this, Han Kongwen replied: "There is still another trial. ”

"Trial?" Amy didn't understand that in her plan, the trial never came up.

Han Kongwen looked at her, and then replied seriously: "A trial to awaken the consciousness of human resistance, I need all living people to prove to the world that their existence is valuable, and the continuation of mankind should never be at the expense of some people, and any one person has the same value as the whole world." ”

Han Kongwen's words sounded as unreal as a dream.

Amy laughed and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?" How can it be the same? If so, why are we where we are? If the same, why were the men of Cerberus gathered together for destruction? Obviously everyone knows that the end is coming, but still calmly doing the butcher's thing? Is it really for the sake of continuity? Could it be that they could have read the last days to settle the facts of human extinction? ”

A series of questions hit Han Kongwen's heart.

These questions ...... She had asked her mother when she was very young.

"Why do you have to do these things? Why do you want to save the world, but you can't even save your own home? "My father's words are vivid.

Han Kongwen was deeply touched every time he thought of these words.

Oh, yes......

Why the hell am I?

Is it just a continuation of the righteousness of the family and the country?

After so much infamy, does it make sense for these continuations?

130 million people, an unimaginably large number, and now there are less than 20 million left.

Am I really saved?

Han Kongwen asked himself.

No......

I was wrong...... My self-righteousness cost me the most.

"I'm going to help Sister Yan." Han Kongwen said and left the basement, leaving Amy and Zoe alone, they snuggled up to each other, as if they no longer cared about the safety of the whole world, and the silence between each other explained the best choice.

What does the existence of an autonomous mind represent......

……

Lin Sen appeared on the main road in the second block of AZ1, which was now empty, and there were only some blood stains left on the road, but other than that, everything was as empty as the number city that Lin Sen had seen...... Barren......

"Who do you think is responsible for this?" Lin Sen asked Victoria.

The escapist Victoria was silent for a long time before saying, "Maybe it's a group of outright losers, who are already full of despair about the continuation of humanity, so they are even more looking forward to making everything come as soon as possible." ”

Listening to Victoria's words, Lin Sen didn't react for a while, mainly because he clearly realized that there were many things in these words that he couldn't understand.

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Lin Sen walked along the street, and along the way, he didn't even encounter a single mechanical creature except for blood.

After thinking for a while, Victoria said: "Let's give a simple example, just like the Russian turntable, put a bullet in a left and wheel gun, the participant turns the magazine of the left and wheel gun, and then pulls the trigger on himself when it stops, whether it is life or death depends on luck, this bloody game gives a lot of stimulation to human beings." ”

Lin Sen remained silent, he had heard of such a cruel game for the first time.

Victory continued: "In this game, the participants felt the stimulus not because they had a good chance of surviving, but because they had a relatively small but unacceptable death, which stimulated their brains and made them feel the passing of death clearly. ”

Lin Sen listened carefully, and sighed at the strangeness and horror of human nature while being careful.

Can you even gamble with life and death for the thrill?

"But there's a novel way to play the Russian turntable, which is to fill the magazine, pull out only one bullet, and then let the participants try to turn and pull the trigger on their heads! Isn't that a little more exciting? "Victoria's statement is strange.

After listening to this, Lin Sen carefully analyzed the scene she said.

Previously, participants had a greater chance of being alive, and death became a major factor in stimulating their senses.

But now, participants have a greater chance of dying, and being alive has become a luxury rather than a thrill......

Lin Sen was stunned, although he was silent.

After a long period of silence, the death toll was further proportioned, and fewer than fifteen million survivors remained.

The scale and speed of the extinction were far beyond Lin Sen's imagination.

"Which model do you prefer?" Victoria asked.

Lin Sen finally understood at this time.

One is to touch death with the habit of living, and the other is to pray for survival knowing death......

Aren't the two very different mentalities alluding to the people in the present, in Cerberus?

"I understand...... Han Kongwen said and turned to leave the basement, but instead of helping Lin Yan and Canaan, she left the Liret alone, walking on the street, waiting......

The coming of judgment.
