Chapter 27: Truth Through Practice (II)

The wounds on his arms were caused by his fight with Leona, but the actual cause of the injuries was caused by him unconsciously concentrating too much nuclear energy into his arms, causing the points to naturally generate antimatter.

Thinking back on the unbelievably large energy, Robin was not only a little afraid. At that time, if he hadn't vented all this power on Leona's body, then his injuries would definitely not have been as simple as burning his arms. And now that I think about how much Leona's strength has weakened since that time, it must be because the trauma caused to her by that blow is too severe.

"That's what you came to from your experiments on me?" After a long silence, Robin suddenly asked.

"Yes." Sensing the anger in Robin's words, Leona looked directly into Robin's eyes without flinching: "This is a huge breakthrough in my scholarship, and after confirming the existence of antimatter in the body, I have reason to believe that this is the greatest help to promote human evolution." As long as the energy limit that the human body can bear at each stage is calculated, and then a certain dose of radioactive energy is doped into the advanced medicine and injected into the acupuncture points, then many of the drawbacks and side effects of the current advanced medicine will no longer exist. ”

"It will take a lot of experiments to calculate the right dose." Robin suppressed the anger in his heart and roared angrily: "You cold-blooded woman, in your eyes, everyone else is a resource that can be consumed casually?" ”

"Are you worried that I'm going to do an experiment with you?" Leona smiled disdainfully, "I'm sorry, but this kind of experiment is no longer suitable for you to use as experimental material." Your body's resistance to radiating energy is so special that you can't get accurate data from experimenting on you. ”

"You ......"

"I know what you're trying to say." Leona held her head high, and her cold gaze didn't seem to carry any emotion: "In my eyes, anyone is a resource, so in my eyes, there are no friends, no relatives, no lovers. Yes, but there are two distinctions between useful and useless. ”

"And what about you! Are you also a resource? Robin scoffed loudly.

"That's right, I'm a resource too." Leona did not avoid Robin's questioning, and replied coldly: "In the program of the central computer, I am also a resource, and so are you. In fact, you are also very clear about this, your so-called lofty ambition, the so-called getting ahead, is actually to obtain talents that others do not have. Only people with special talents can enjoy the privilege, to enjoy the feeling of being above others, which is the original surname of human beings, and you are just using the so-called morality to cover up your real surname. ”

“……”

Leona's sharp words left Robin speechless.

Indeed, getting others to agree with and let others cheer for you has always been Robin's driving force. When he was in the academy, he practiced like crazy on the training ground, just to get the tsunami-like cheers of the mountain. And now that he has become a warrior, although the environment in which he is living is different, Robin has never changed.

And although the words that Leona said about resources were cruel, if you deeply analyzed their connotations, this was indeed the current situation of the Nine Star Republic. After replacing human leaders with a central computer to achieve [***], the republic has indeed achieved a certain degree of fairness and justice. All the ills of the old era have collapsed one by one under the orderly management of the central computer. In this day and age, it seems that everyone is free. As long as you have enough talent, you can choose any career you want to pursue and choose any life you want. In the workplace, you no longer have to worry about the oppression of your boss, as well as all kinds of unspoken rules, every work every day will be recorded by the central computer, and any personnel transfer is directly deployed by the central computer. Just like Robin's promotion, even Lieutenant General Aldrich, the commander of the Pluto Army, who is in a high position, does not have the right to directly appoint a small second lieutenant. Therefore, in the eyes of the people of the republic, the boss is only temporary, and as long as he has sufficient talent, the position is at his fingertips.

From this point of view alone, the Nine Star Republic is indeed a heaven on earth. However, there are two sides to everything.

For the vast majority of people who do not have special talents, the so-called freedom is just a flash in the pan. Although under the orderly management of the central computer, as long as they are willing to work, they can definitely achieve a worry-free and quiet life, but they can only look up to others and silently bury their own ** and ambitions.

No talent means no dreams, and perhaps in countries like the Raymond Federation and the Hoffman Empire, ordinary people can still use intrigue and luck to dream extravagantly, but in the Nine Star Republic, such a thing can never happen.

In a sense, the Nine-Star Republic is like a strategic game controlled by a central computer, and the vast number of people living in this country are the simple, boring data and resources in the game.

Leona is not wrong, people are indeed just resources, and they are huge resources. The reason why Robin took the risk of choosing infantry as a profession and agreed to cooperate with Leona was precisely because he was unwilling to be ordinary and unwilling to live in obscurity.

He wouldn't accept that his fate was controlled like a program, so even if the truth was as cruel as Leona said, he still couldn't agree with Leona.

"If you abandon family, friendship, and love, and only see yourself as a resource, will you be happy?" Robin stared at Leona with a gaze that seemed to be perceptive: "Maybe I can't convince you, but I can't agree with you either." I can take risks for my dreams, but I will never give up everything to achieve my dreams. That's the difference between me and you, I'm a risk-taking fool and you're a cold machine. My life will be wonderful even if I can't fulfill my dreams. And you ......"

Robin sneered a few times and roared in a disgusted tone: "And even if you accomplish your so-called goal, you will only be abandoned like a used machine, lonely rusty and scrapped in a cold warehouse!" ”

“……”

Robin's merciless words stung Leona's weakness buried deep in her heart, and at this moment, her face was pale without a trace of blood, and even her heart that had always been firm as an iceberg was slightly shaken, and she doubted her philosophy of life, and even asked herself if it was worth it.

However, the weakness of this moment vanished with the appearance of a cold face. The brief hesitation and vacillation seemed to have never appeared, and her eyes were as firm and cold as ever, and revealed an unshakable determination.

Looking at Leona's indifferent eyes as always, Robin knew that the woman in front of him was hopeless, he sighed lightly, withdrew his gaze from staring at Leona, and roared in a tone that seemed to be an oath: "It seems that neither of us can convince each other...... And there's nothing I can do to stop you from doing those horrible things. However, I warn you that you may be able to do [***] experiments on others without any consideration, but I will never allow you to touch my friends, relatives, and everyone I know. Otherwise, I'll make you pay a heavy price you can't afford. You should know that I am now good enough to fulfill the promise I made, so I hope you will take seriously what I said today when you make decisions in the future. ”

Leona curled her hair seminibly: "Are you threatening me? ”

"Yes!"

"I'm afraid that this sudden gain of strength has made you feel confident that you have the ability to threaten me?"

"So......" The corners of Robin's mouth curled up, "Do you want to try it?" ”

“……”

This-for-tat conversation made the atmosphere become oppressive for a moment, and the two stared at each other like beasts meeting on a narrow road, although neither side had made any further movements, but the air in the prison cell seemed to be frozen.

At this moment, the metal door of the cell suddenly opened with a loud bang.

Suddenly, the harsh light from outside surged into the cell, which made Robin and Leona, who had become accustomed to the darkness, shrink their pupils sharply, and hurriedly blocked the too strong light with their hands.

"Come out ......"

As soon as the guard who opened the door of the cell said two words, he was like a rooster choked by the neck. The original arrogance and demeanor vanished as he saw everything in the cell.

He couldn't believe that this highest-standard cell, made of alloys, could become like this, and he couldn't imagine what kind of battle this small cell endured during these 48 hours, and the strength of the two people who were locked in this cell was ......

Just when the frightened prison guard was at a loss for what to do, Robin bent down and got out of the cramped cell, stretched hard, and patted the guard on the shoulder casually: "Can we go?" ”

"No ......"

The prison guard jumped out of the way like a furry wild cat, he looked at Robin with a gentle expression in horror, and then at Leona, who came out later, and finally dared to say, "No...... No...... Profound...... General Aldrich wants to see you......"
