Chapter 99

The streets of Hope City are filled with refugees wailing in pain.

The city garrison has been there to clear the rubble, but it is not that they are callous to the injured refugees, but because there is a shortage of medicines, medical equipment is very rare, and the few treatment needles are too expensive to treat these refugees.

That's the cruelty of reality.

You have no value, you don't even qualify to be saved, you can only survive on your own.

In addition to the city garrison, you can also see some civilians are also actively participating in the rescue, these people are actually the free army hidden among the residents, because Sun Dingze disclosed the sacrifice and dedication of the free army in this incident, so the identity of the free army instantly came to a shocking reversal, suddenly from a rebel organization to a respected organization.

They now help people whose houses have collapsed to move their belongings, move the wounded, and treat the wounded, and the Freire, who come from the civilian class, is obviously more caring than the city garrison, and knows what they need, but the Freire doesn't have much medical supplies.

Due to the development of nanorobot technology, humans can perform subtle surgeries at the microscopic level, and ordinary medical technology has basically been eliminated, and universal nanorobots have become the best choice for treating injuries. Therefore, unless the targeted drugs that are needed for some incurable diseases are still under development, no other drugs have been produced, and the number of drugs in the world is very small.

In this case, the Free Army could only choose to bandage their wounds simply, and they could not even get antibiotics to prevent infection.

Caroline, who escaped from the shelter, is now also involved in the treatment and rescue of the refugees.

"Please be careful."

She picked up a wounded refugee, completely ignoring the pity and pleading on the refugee's face, and simply removed him from the rubble.

What do refugees want?

He saw that someone was willing to help him, so he wanted to take advantage of his poor situation to ask for more.

Although Caroline is kind, she is not stupid, otherwise she would not have warned Song Ming about how cruel this Hope City is at the beginning, so she was not moved by the pleas of those people, but stubbornly carried out her ideas.

But she also believes that these people are not born like this, they are just forced to be like this by the current cruel world environment, and if they can get better living conditions, they will definitely not be willing to do this.

Caroline was tapped on the shoulder, and she didn't even look back before she knew that it was Song Ming standing behind her—she was familiar with the smell of Song Ming's body.

Song Ming asked softly: "You always say that Hope City is very dark and human nature is very sinister, so why do you want to help them?" ”

Caroline was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "That's because I don't want to see this society destroyed, I don't want to see human civilization completely disappear, I don't want to see the last bit of light in human nature completely extinguished, I want to save this world, I want to make this world a better place, but ......"

She was silent.

Song Ming knew what she meant, when Caroline expounded the concept of the Free Army before, he was already very clear, this is an organization with a very great concept, and what it wants to do is very great, but it is all in the air, and it is just rhetoric.

The reality was very cruel, Caroline didn't have that many resources, and she didn't have the ability to achieve her goals, so the Free Army could only end up being a second-rate organization.

If there is no perfect talent management mechanism, no good logistics support system, no available talents, and no sufficient resources, it is impossible to form a decent organization, and it is impossible to save the world.

Compared to Caroline's Free Army, even the City Garrison did better than him, why?

Because the city garrison has perfect logistics and supplies, has a perfect system, and has strict discipline, they maintain a minimum order with a cold image and horrific violence in such a bad situation, and in the current situation, they make perfect use of all the resources at hand to do the best possible.

"I know you probably don't like to hear that. But ......"

Song Ming looked at Caroline: "Compared to your father Sain, you still have a lot to learn, at least you need to change your naïve concept." It is impossible for any organization to be as impartial as you say, and the establishment of any organization must have its purpose, and in the process of achieving this purpose, there needs to be a steady stream of driving force, and what is this driving force? Either it's the temptation of power, or the thirst for wealth. ”

"And you, Caroline, are now clearly caught up in that self-pleasure of wanting to satisfy your inner morality. You want to achieve self-improvement, but you lose sight of the basics. Without money, without sufficient resources, what you want to do is simply impossible to achieve. You've conquered them with noble ideas and made them willing to fight for you, but that's just a castle in the air. You gain self-satisfaction and sublimation, but what about the others? You have abandoned them, you only care about yourself. ”

The cruel words tore through Caroline's disguise, and nothing was left of her innocent face.

She was left with only a very cruel truth.

Yes, she, Caroline, is not a qualified leader, but just a Madonna who wants to kidnap others with the help of morality to achieve self-gratification, nothing more.

"No, I'm not, I don't."

Caroline's face was pale, and she wanted to continue to disguise herself with that layer of shell, but Song Ming didn't give her a chance to continue her disguise, he pointed to the injured people on the street and said, "You want to be a savior, you can, go?" Those people are injured, you go and treat them, why don't you act? ”

"Cause, Cause......"

Caroline stammered, speechless.

Because of what?

Because she didn't have any medicine to treat those people, the needles were too expensive to use. After the technological revolution, ordinary medicines have become very rare, and after the Day of Destruction, there is nothing left.

Nothing, what will she do to treat those refugees? Take love?

Everything was just words, just to satisfy the sense of accomplishment that she felt high up and looked down on others, the vanity that satisfied herself.

"When you first warned me, I thought you were a very realistic person, but then I realized that I was wrong, how could you really understand the cruelty of this society when you were born in a shelter? Your ruthlessness was just to protect yourself, and then you founded the Free Army with a naïve idea, but the Free Army is also just a family organization. ”

Song Ming said slowly, Caroline, who had been trying to maintain herself from collapsing, finally completely collapsed at this moment, she lost control of her emotions and burst into tears: "What can I do?" What do you want me to do? What can I do? I can't do anything! Leaving the shelter, leaving the butcher, I'm just an ordinary girl, I want to save the world, but what do I do to save it? ”

Caroline is indeed a very idealistic and great girl, she wants to bring the world back to order, she wants everyone to have a happy life. There is nothing wrong with this idea, it's just that she is in too much of a hurry, and that kind of idea is like a castle in the air, destined not to be so easy to achieve.

If you want to quickly restore civilization in the post-apocalyptic world, the fastest way is to dictate and conquer, constantly conquer others and expand your own power. That's the only option.

Song Ming now has every reason to believe that the rulers of the other shelters have figured this out, the world has entered the era of division of the heroes, whoever masters the most advanced weapons resources first, who has a large number of materials and population, who is invincible, who can have the last laugh.

Song Ming now even suspected that the Xihe Sanctuary might have hired the Wolves of the Wasteland to snatch Alayah for the sake of his dominance.

If the Wolf of the Wasteland succeeds, the Yanhuang Sanctuary will collapse directly, and the Xihe Sanctuary will become the largest force in East Asia, and can expand outward with impunity.

"To save the world, you have to be better than everyone else, or you have to be reduced to a supporting role, sacrificing for other people's ambitions."

Song Ming said in a deep voice: "If you can't be ruthless, then you should give up as soon as possible, don't hold on any longer, Sein has lost your mother, and she definitely doesn't want to lose you again." ”

"Do you think he cares if I live or die?"

Caroline looked at Song Ming, the expression on her face was very complicated, she no longer had any expectations for Sein.

Song Ming looked at her, his eyes were full of pity: "I believe that as long as you are a normal parent, there is no child who does not love her." ”

"But he's clearly not a normal father."

Caroline was still full of resentment.

"Maybe you can try to make something happen to make him look at you." Song Ming put forward a hypothesis, "You want to save these refugees, but you don't have medical supplies, now I can help you provide medical supplies, you can try to improve the prestige of the Free Army among the people, which can reduce the pressure on the city guards, and also indirectly reduce the pressure on Sain's work, so that he can have more time to accompany you......"

"These words made me more sure of one thing." Caroline suddenly showed a relieved smile, "I must admit that I am not suitable to be the leader - now I announce the transfer of the leader of the Free Army to the deputy leader Song Ming. ”

She announced in the Free Army's internal communication channel that she had transferred the identity of the leader to Song Ming.
