Chapter Thirty-Eight: Under the Imperial Capital
I stared at Zhang Chuan, and unconsciously the anger in my heart was extinguished a lot by Zhang Chuan's words.
In such troubled times, who can be sure that what Zhang Chuan did was really wrong?
Although the cost will be great, which era is not built with flesh and bones?
I don't have Zhang Chuan's boldness, and I can pave the way for him with the bones of tens of millions of people.
But I am not pedantic, just like Zhang Chuan said, in extraordinary times, you have to do extraordinary things, this is not cowardice, but a state of "forbearance", or not understood by the world, but doing things that are understood, can not be exchanged for good changes, it is more likely to inspire the crazy revenge of the alien invaders, sometimes, tend to be inflammatory, is to survive, not to give up faith.
I said my thoughts to Zhang Chuan: "Okay, you are a hero, I am a bear, I dare not think about what you do, and I will not do it, but I still hope you can do me a favor!" ”
Zhang Chuan seemed to know what I was asking for, and he rejected me directly: "Impossible, how do you determine that those who are alive are not infected?" I can't ruin the future of humanity for the sake of that unrealistic fantasy. ”
"No one can speculate about what hasn't happened, and what if they're not infected? Do you just watch them die? There are more than 7 billion human beings on our earth, but in just half a year, because of wars and famines, more than 100 million people have become unjust souls. I took a deep look at Zhang Chuan, and then said, "Isn't it okay if you help me send these people out, and I'm responsible for restraining them and never letting them out before determining whether they are infected or not?" ”
"Constraints? It's not easy to say, that's nearly a million people, even if I have the ability to get them out for you, but where are you going to settle them, besides, do you think I don't have alien eyes here? Although Zhang Chuan still disagreed with my approach, I could clearly hear from his tone that he had begun to waver.
"I naturally have a place to settle these people, and I don't need to use your strength to get them out." As I spoke, I took out an old drawing in my arms and brought it to Zhang Chuan.
"Architectural drawings of the ancient palace?" Zhang Chuan opened the drawings, looked at them and exclaimed: "The legend turned out to be true, I didn't expect that there was really such a huge underground palace hidden under this ancient palace." ”
I nodded noncommittally.
"You want to put them in this dungeon?" Zhang Chuan still seemed to be full of hesitation: "Do you think that this ancient underground palace can withstand the attack of nuclear bombs?" ”
"That's why I need your help." I looked at Zhang Chuan, Zhang Chuan waved his hand, and said that I would continue: "I can't guarantee that the underground palace can withstand the attack of the nuclear bomb, but we can artificially minimize the attack it receives. ”
Zhang Chuan understood what I meant as soon as he heard it: "You mean to let me fine-tune the landing point of the nuclear bomb?" ”
I nodded again.
Zhang Chuan looked at me stunned for a long time before he said, "Are you sure you do this?" Did you know that if there is any problem in the underground palace, the nuclear contamination alone can make your life worse than death? ”
"I know, but do we have a choice now? This is the only way left in the imperial capital to save itself. ”
I'm not a hero, but I know that there are things I have to do, even if that glimmer of hope is extremely slim.
Zhang Chuan saw my persistence, so he no longer persuaded me, but walked towards me, hugged me tightly, and held on for a long time.
The moment he saved me, I knew that our brotherhood was still there, no matter where we each went.
"Dongfang, you still have two hours to prepare, according to the aliens' instructions, at two o'clock in the morning, the nuclear bomb will be launched." Zhang Chuan patted me on the back, as if to cheer me up: "Good luck, my brother." ”
------
After leaving Zhang Chuan's office, I found a hidden corner, and I took the boat and hurried back to Kyoto.
I had mixed feelings on the boat, and I didn't know how I was going to mobilize the inhabitants of the Imperial Capital in the next two hours, and how I was going to determine which ones could enter the dungeon.
No one is not afraid of death, and no one wants to taste despair, if I spread the news that the nuclear bomb is about to attack the entire imperial capital, I am afraid that the imperial capital will be unable to maintain even the existing order, and will further plunge into endless panic and riots.
At that time, not to mention two hours, even two days, two months will be nothing.
