Su Jiangchen turned on a slide projector next to him, and pictures were projected into it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"This is an aerial shot taken by a helicopter over Honolulu, Hawaii, and you can see that the entire city is occupied by hundreds of thousands of zombies, and even though the Hawaiian Islands themselves are a military base for the American garrison, they still can't defend themselves against the zombie infestation."
"Look at this one, it's a selfie of a person. He had a sack of money in his hand, but he had nowhere to buy food to satisfy his hunger, and in his grief and anger burned all the money to ashes. ā
"This is a message on Facebook yesterday, and the owner of the message should also know that one of the richest people in the world is one of the richest people in the world, and the content of the message is: I'm so hungry, I'm willing to spend $1 million to order a takeaway, is anyone willing to deliver it to me?"
"See? This is the reality of the world now, no matter how rich or depressed we were before, we are now facing the same situation. Your cars, your mansions, your watches, your jewelry, your bank deposits, your family's cash, can't help you survive. ā
"Excuse me," said a man who raised his hand and asked a question like a schoolboy in a class, "May I speak?" ā
Su Jiangchen changed his sitting posture and said with a smile: "Of course you can." ā
"You said so much, just to convey that the wealth we once had is now worthless?" There was a deep mockery in the man's tone: "And then, we give you all this wealth, and then you provide us with expensive food, do you mean that?" ā
Su Jiangchen smiled and shook his head, beckoning around, and several villagers resisted a few sacks, pouring out a large pile of banknotes from them, which was dazzling.
He casually threw a few bundles of banknotes to the person opposite: "Look, is it the real thing?" ā
Seeing that the other party nodded, he pointed to the pile of banknotes like a hill: "How much do you think you have at this point?" Tens of millions, right? ā
With that, he pulled out a lighter and made a cool, crazy move to set the pile of bills on fire.
Even these rich children, before they completely took over the family business, only a few hundred thousand yuan a month of pocket money, these money in their eyes can be regarded as a considerable amount of money, the old love and desire for money, even made them rush to extinguish the flames and salvage the money.
I didn't expect this person to blink his eyes, and the fire was really all burned?
From what Su Jiangchen said, to the pictures he showed, to his behavior, they were destroying their mental defenses step by step.
The act of burning money is more convincing than any words, and it makes them feel that the world may really have changed. There have been people who kneel in front of them like dogs for money, saying flattering words and showing flattering, undignified smiles, should they be for a mouthful of food, and beg for mercy like dogs?
The rising flames reflected their nervous and bewildered faces, and burned their self-confidence into ashes.
Su Jiangchen's crisp and cold voice sounded again: "Did you see it?" This is not a scene in the movie that pretends to burn money. No one covets your wealth, and those bills are hard to wipe your ass now. A smart person, in front of this pile of money and a piece of bread, will make a wise choice. Now that there is a shortage of materials and a difficult living environment, I am not willing to give up your fresh lives, and I cannot afford to provide for some idle waste. My request is very simple, that you are like them, and you exchange your labor for the right to live. As long as you are like them, we will treat you equally. ā
"I'll admit it, you're right, you can't buy anything if you have money now." A woman said calmly and without the slightest anger: "But one day, human beings will defeat those filthy zombies, social order will be restored, and we will still get back the wealth and industry that belong to us." ā
"Yes, you're right, but only if you live to that day." Su Jiangchen responded with a smile: "I am not a careerist who is reluctant to give up on power, nor do I have the ambition to take advantage of the chaos to establish any forces, in fact, I look forward to the end of this bitch's end as soon as possible, and the life of mankind will return to tranquility and peace. Until then, though, what we can do is not look to the future, but live in the present. ā
"Maybe it's not as bad as you say!" A man's eyes flashed with disappointment and grayness, and he argued hoarsely, "We still have the army, and they will come to our rescue." Those flesh and blood can't deal with the Great Wall of Steel at all, and the war against the zombies may soon end in the victory of humanity! ā
"Maybe it's worse than you think." Su Jiangchen's face was heavy, and the flame of hope in the other party's heart was extinguished: "The end of the world breaks out, all human beings may be infected into zombies, regardless of age, gender, occupation, race, there are also zombies in the barracks, and when the army recovers its combat strength, you know how many zombies they need to face, there are more than 50 million in this province alone; The number of refugees who need to be rescued is too many to count; What kind of material support needs to be provided, but I am afraid that no force can prepare so many materials under such circumstances, right? Your successful parents must have taught you that it is better to ask for others than for yourself, and it is better to save yourself than to wait for others to save you. This is also my advice to you, in the face of this disaster, you can only survive on your own. ā
"Even if what you say is true, then you are just a bunch of despicable and shameless bandits!" A woman roared angrily, foaming at the mouth: "This is not your place at all, you shamelessly occupy this place, claim to be the master, give us orders, want us to obey your command, why?" You can't help but think it's so beautiful! ā
"Robbers?" Su Jiangchen snorted coldly and slapped the case: "Do you think this is still the society with order and the legal system?" Let's not talk about the rules of survival in the last days, let's talk about this hall, this land. This place was originally taken by a group of robbers from the hands of the villagers, do you know how much trouble and pain they, as well as you rich people who have nothing to do, have brought to the lives of the villagers in the past two years. You should have heard of the shooting a year ago, right? Say we're robbers? You don't distinguish between right and wrong, reverse black and white, and your brains are gnawed by dogs! ā
"Having said all that," a man asked slowly, "do we have the right to refuse?" ā
"Absolutely!" Su Jiangchen said affirmatively: "You can choose to leave here, but as long as you stay, you have to follow the rules here, correspondingly, we will also protect your safety in the last days, and treat you as one of us." My name is Su Jiangchen, and you are welcome to join us. ā
After a long test, 26 of the 43 people stayed, and the rest chose to leave. They may not be able to get rid of the glory of the past, they may not be able to pull down their bodies and put down their children to work with the villagers who are extremely lowly in their eyes, or they may still have unrealistic illusions about the end times outside, and after saying goodbye to other people, they will drive a sports car that represents their wealth and status, and disappear in front of everyone.
Su Jiangchen didn't have a good impression of these people, but having experienced the extinction of the human race, it was difficult for him to be ruthless and put those who didn't have much sin to death. He gave them a chance, and he was not angry about the path they had chosen, only a little regretful. These young people who have not experienced real wind and rain, after leaving here, have very little chance of surviving.
