Chapter 933: Good luck
Chu Ge had heard this story.
I also understand the moral behind the story.
It's a thought experiment that wants to provoke people to think about the value of life.
But it was a thought experiment that was not very successful in design, because there were no demons in the world.
Even if there is a demon, the sacrifice of an innocent girl is far from enough for the demon to ensure the prosperity of a modern city with a population of 10 million for a whole year.
Therefore, when Chu Ge heard this story in the past, he just scoffed and laughed at it.
I believe that when most readers see this story, they will also firmly choose to "protect innocent girls and work together to fight against demons" - anyway, it's just talking, showing a sense of justice in a false story, and not charging money!
But today, the story is partly true.
If amber is exposed to the world, it will inevitably trigger thinking, debate and even turmoil among all mankind, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
But word has spread, and it is unrealistic to study her secretly or send her back to the Austronesian tribe.
What to do?
Chu Ge thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't think of a solution that would have the best of both worlds.
He could only stiffen his neck and say: "Life is priceless, so one person's life is as important as the life of nine million nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine people, I will not sacrifice any innocent person for any purpose, never!" ”
"Hehe, naïve."
Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting said, "Maybe in your self-deceptive daydreams, or in those books that flaunt political correctness, and in those propaganda used to paralyze the public, life is indeed priceless, but in the real world, life is always priced, measurable, and the price is often not too high."
"If life is truly priceless, why do so many people give up treatment because they can't afford it?
"If life is truly priceless, why can traffic perpetrators get away with paying a sum of compensation?
"If life is really priceless, why are so many people willing to sit in the cubicle day and night for a meager salary, squeezing out the last drop of their blood and sweat?
"Admit it, life has always had a price, and nine million nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine people are always worth more than an innocent girl; Even five million and one thousand are worth more than four million nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand, and I will not hesitate to sacrifice the latter if necessary—in fact, I did. ”
"You've done that?" Chu Ge frowned.
"That's right, that's what our Raven Force does."
Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting said coldly, "For the epidemic areas where the infection of bacteria and viruses is relatively light, we will cooperate with the doctors to go in and carry out purification and medical operations, and strive to save more patients; However, in the severely affected areas where the plague is raging and the environment is harsh, in the face of those mutated germs that have not yet developed vaccines and special drugs, doctors are helpless, and no one dares to venture in, so we can only implement a peripheral lockdown.
"Sometimes it is impossible to blockade from the ground, and we even have to mobilize the bombers of the Air Force to build a 'wall of fire' with incendiary bombs for the most complete isolation.
"Are there any healthy people in the quarantine area who are not infected? Of course there is.
"Are they innocent, and of course they are innocent.
"Even, when we used incendiary bombs to quarantine, did any infected people want to escape, and they happened to be at the landing point of the incendiary bombs? I can't rule it out either.
"But unfortunately, for the safety of the larger and more densely populated residential areas outside the epidemic area, we have no time or ability to identify the infected and healthy people one by one, and can only watch them wail, scream, curse, cry, struggle, hug their loved ones, and finally be dragged into hell by other severely infected people, and then we will burn the entire epidemic area, and bury all the corpses into ashes deep into the ground.
"Of course, this cruel job is not pleasant, and those of you who live in big cities with clean environment, stable social order, and strong medical security will certainly not agree with our approach, and even think that we are the devil who exterminates humanity.
"But we don't have a choice, there's a lot of dirty work in this world, and someone has to do it.
"So, I'll let you stay where you are and wait for me to come - you don't want to dirty your hands, I understand, then let me do it, anyway, compared to so much dirty work I've done in the past, this time it's just a sacrifice for an innocent girl, it's not dirty."
Listening to Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting's heartfelt words, Chu Ge could only sigh.
"I thought that after a series of births and deaths, we could slowly become friends." He said very seriously.
"You're too self-conscious."
Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting said, "I never make friends with men. ”
"So, why did you tell me about it?"
Chu Ge said, "You can completely lie to me, hide the truth from me, and say that you will take the Eternals away and make proper arrangements, I will definitely be stupid to believe you." ”
"Perhaps, I just like to see you know the truth, the way you are painful and entangled, and you can avenge the underground crisis in Lingshan City."
Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting said this, he was silent for a long time, and finally sighed faintly, and continued, "Perhaps, I am also curious, can you find a place that can save all the citizens without sacrificing innocent girls, or even ...... Ways to take out demons. ”
Chu Ge's heart had already sunk to the bottom.
was said by Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting's words again, and it became hot.
"Lieutenant Colonel Wu, if I can think of a way to kill the demon, would you like to do it with me?" Chu Ge asked excitedly.
"There's no way you're going to kill the demons." Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting said.
"I haven't done it yet, how do I know if I can kill it?"
Chu Ge said firmly, "No matter whether you can kill it or not, you have to do it to know that if you don't even have the courage to fight demons, what kind of man is you!" ”
“……”
Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting took a deep breath and said, "The rainstorm is getting denser and denser, and the interference is getting more and more serious, and our communication can't last long.
"Remember, I've reported your fuzzy coordinates to my superiors, and now that many people have gotten the coordinates, you can ask for more blessings before I or someone from the very association finds you!"
The rainstorms are indeed getting more and more intense.
The rain was quite sparse just now, and you could see the rolling mountains dozens of miles away.
Soon, the sky turned into a sea of gray, and the dark clouds rushed down like an inverted wave, roaring with a dragon's teeth and claws.
As it approached the ground, tens of thousands of tons of rain roared out of the split dark clouds, slamming into the rainforest like a sledgehammer, and even the thick and thin trees could not resist the rain washing, the crowns swayed, and the branches "creaked".
There are also lightning bolts, like devil's claws tearing through the sky, whistling above the rainforest, causing people's scalps to tingle.
The communication channel also seemed to be flooded by heavy rain, full of "rustling" sounds, no matter how Chu Ge debugged, he could no longer capture the voice of Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting.
It's just vague that I hear a soft "Come on, good luck" from the communication channel.
Is this the voice of Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting, who actually cheered himself on and wished himself good luck?
Chu Ge thought about it and felt that he was being sentimental again, he must have heard it wrong.
Carrying the military radio on his back, back in the cave, Chu Ge found that Amber had woken up.
The little witch's eyes were shining, and she looked at him with both joy and confusion.
"You woke up, how are you feeling, is there anything wrong?"
Chu Ge took out a piece of emergency military ration from the military backpack, poured cold water into it, and shook it to turn it into steaming sweet porridge.
He handed the sweet porridge to Amber.
"I'm fine, but how could I be okay?"
Amber took the sweet porridge and devoured it, but her tongue was hot, she pulled her ears and sighed, as if she remembered what happened before she fell unconscious, "Aren't we rounded up by villains, how could we-ah-"
She was shocked.
But I saw that in the corner, there was only one arm left, and it was tied up with five flowers, like a zongzi with a missing horn, and her face was covered with blood, and Ms. Golia, who was not a ghost or a ghost.
"It's okay, the villains have been beaten away by me, and this female demon has also been subdued by me, you can take a good rest and regain your strength." Chu Ge comforted Amber.
"So, is it over?"
Amber's eyes widened and she breathed a sigh of relief, and her whole body relaxed.
But I don't remember that I unlocked the memory of a thousand years ago, and the picture of incarnating as a female warrior in the wilderness, I only felt tired and sore.
Since leaving the South Island, the impact of the strange world and information flow that I have seen along the way is a hundred times greater than in the past.
In particular, being captured, imprisoned, and fleeing all the way by the Celestial Organization is an irritation that this simple immortal has never experienced.
Amber was overwhelmed, like a frightened little beast, completely frightened, like falling into a never-ending nightmare, just wanting the nightmare to pass quickly.
