Section 667 Explicit
The change of title is always done quietly and inadvertently.
It's no longer "you", it's "you".
Dongfang Bai sneered in a sarcastic tone: "Why, are you in such a hurry to die?" β
The corners of Song Caixia's eyes twitched slightly: "I don't understand what you mean." β
Dongfang Bai did not delve further into the issue of livestock farms, but changed the subject: "You seem to know nothing about your current situation. β
"I have carefully studied your human society, especially the stage before the outbreak of the virus."
Dongfang Bai's eyes flashed with surprising wisdom: "Human society is divided into very terrible classes. The upper classes, what you call the "elite", control the basic needs of the entire human society. They tell other people, the ruled, in various ways, what you need and what you do. This kind of control and influence is so powerful that even ordinary people cannot resist. Because all the media is in the hands of the rulers, they can even force others to change their habits and even their food choices according to their own requirements. β
"You should understand that I'm not lying, and I'm not alarmist. Money is created because of human beings' need for materials. The rules are always made by the rulers, who shout morality and play with the law, whether it is flat or round. The salary system is very commendable, and it is on this basis that mankind builds a rich and civilized society. Unfortunately, most wealth is in the hands of a tiny few, and while you know that this is unfair, few people think of rising up and rebelling, overthrowing everything and reshuffling the cards. β
"Because the cost of doing so is so great that it may even cost you your own life. It's a smart choice, but in the long run, it's downright stupid. β
"The process of civilization in your human society continues very well, but as the old saying goes, "there is no feast in the world that will never be dispersed", and no matter how good things are, there will be an end one day. The outbreak was an accident, but even if it hadn't happened, your civilization would have died at some point in the future. β
Song Caixia somewhat understood the meaning of the Eastern vernacular: "Do you think my plan has shaken your rule?" β
Dongfang Bai smiled faintly: "This world has changed, since you were still rulers. Really, I didn't lie to you. I only recently discovered the problem. You humans lack insight, and I mean those who pre-the virus. If they can't see the facts, they won't understand the truth. In fact, the human race is very easy to control. Most people don't have a lot of requirements for this world, as long as you get food and clothing, and peace of mind, you will live honestly as if nothing happened around you. Just like the women in the birth management camp, just like the human technicians who surrendered to us, in fact, they don't think of us monsters subjectively, but as long as life is passable, they will never mention the word "resistance". β
"Ma'am, your plan is bold and crazy, but I like it."
Dongfang Bai raised his head, looked over Song Caixia's shoulder, and saw the city buildings in the distance outside the glass curtain wall: "We really need to change, I will never allow the same mistakes of you humans to happen to my people." Actually, I was aware of your plan from the beginning, but I kept silent and pretended to be ignorant of all this. Whether it's "cool chicken" or those new foods you developed, I sent someone to buy samples and study them secretly. Luck...... I'm talking about you, you don't add toxins or substances that are harmful to us in those foods. I also see through your ideas and just want to change the recipes we are used to. So, you're still alive and still sitting here talking to me and enjoying the sumptuous lunch that ordinary people dream of. β
Song Caixia was completely shocked. She looked at Dongfang Bai sitting across from her dumbfounded, her mind was blank, and she couldn't say a word.
"The plan you're working on is what I want to do."
Dongfang Bai didn't seem to see the horror on Song Caixia's face, and said lightly: "A single recipe is not a good thing for my clan. When cannibalism becomes a habit, you can't change it even if you want to. It's stupid to rely on a single species to survive, and only the most adaptable creatures can become overlords. You humans are doing a great job of this, at least you have a much wider choice of food than we do. I've been trying to get my people to feed on plants, but I've been unsuccessful. You're different. You are in a different position than I am, and you are much more sophisticated...... Why didn't I think of making them like it and then change their habits? β
Song Caixia's hands and feet were cold.
She felt that she had clearly made a mistake.
She didn't know anything about all this, and she didn't know Dongfang Bai's true purpose at all.
The demonic laughter of the old murderer came to his ears: "If the human race is extinct, then we will all starve to death if we feed on humans." Changing food habits isn't as simple as a day or two. Just like you humans, you will never try something unfamiliar to you unless you have to. Many of my people are fools, short-sighted and have no vision for the future. I have done this more than once, and maybe there will be more in the future. They love you human babies, but they don't even think about where that precious food comes from. They will never understand that it is a complex and long process that requires farms to produce cereals and rice, milk and all kinds of meat from livestock farms, and hygienic and clean living conditions...... I'm not going to hide my mistakes, but just yesterday I whipped some idiot so hard ββββthat he thought that you human men and women just had to shut up in a room, and you didn't have to do anything, and you could have a child. β
Song Caixia didn't laugh because she didn't think it was funny.
"Don't worry! I'm not going to kill you. β
Dongfang Bai gradually put away his arrogant smile and returned to his original wrinkled coldness: "Because you are my chosen collaborator." β
Song Caixia nodded silently.
"But that doesn't mean I won't kill you."
Dongfang Bai's face showed a little ruthlessness: "You should feel very lucky, because your plan coincides with me." Most importantly, you didn't poison the experimental food. Changing the recipe in a gentle way are two different concepts than killing my people directly. You are not a rebel, and the information I have does not suggest a connection between you and the rebels. That's why you're alive until now. β
Song Caixia's eyes revealed a trace of vulnerability, which came from the fear that had been unquenchable in her heart.
"Your status will not change, you are still the mayor of the city. This is my reward for you and a recognition of your work during this time. Although you have done a lot of things without me, as far as the situation stands, these things are good for my rule and good for my people. β
Speaking of this, a sly smile suddenly appeared on Dongfang Bai's old face: "Although I won't kill you, it doesn't mean that other people will think the same way." β
Song Caixia's mind went blank, and she asked mechanically, "Others?" Who? β
Dongfang Bai did not speak.
It snapped its fingers hard, and the crisp sound reached the outside. The door was pushed open, and a tall corpse bodyguard in a black suit walked in, standing behind Song Caixia with his hands clasped in front of him.
"You'll understand when you follow it."
Looking at Song Caixia who stood up from the chair by Yiyan, Dongfang Bai suddenly sighed: "If you can give up those unrealistic ideas, we can still be friends." Seriously, you're a genius among the human race, and I'm impressed with you, and you're doing a great job as mayor. This partnership can go on forever as long as you want to. I can even give you the opportunity to become one of our people at some point. β
Song Caixia just turned around, and when she heard the last sentence, she couldn't help but feel a sudden shock in her body.
Of course, she understood the meaning of the Eastern vernacular.
It is the process of infecting humans, first turning into zombies, and then gradually evolving into murderous corpses. However, there are too many unpredictable dangers associated with this evolution. The first is that the intelligence of the infected person is greatly reduced, and then there is a high chance of evolutionary failure. Of course, for the selected transformation target, the zombie will arrange a closed environment to ensure that they are absolutely safe after turning into zombies. But no one can guarantee the final evolutionary outcome.
That means death, but also new life.
β¦β¦
The bodyguard took Song Caixia out of the room, walked into the elevator, and pressed the number button of "minus three floors" hard.
When I stepped out of the elevator, there was a long corridor in front of me.
Song Caixia followed the corpse bodyguard to the end of the corridor, pushed open the door, and walked in.
This is a basement with the same size as the room upstairs where Dongfang Bai is located. It was empty and barely furnished. In the center of the room is a chair, an all-metal structure fixed to the concrete floor. Sitting on it was a woman, her hands held in place by iron rings on metal armrests, her legs parted at an exaggerated angle to the left and right.
The smell of blood was thick in the air, and blood was everywhere on the floor and surrounding walls. Some have dried up, others are fresh, releasing a terrifying bright red in the light.
There are two corpse guards in the room. The bodyguard who brought Song Caixia in turned his head at one of the guards, and the other party turned around knowingly, picked up a syringe from the shelf next to him, and plunged a sharp needle into the right arm of the unconscious woman.
