Chapter 29: The Sign of Life and Death

As soon as Captain Li's words came out, everyone was shocked, but at this time, no one came out to object. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Everyone seemed to acquiesce, staring at Captain Li, their eyes revealing inexplicable excitement.

I have a big psychological shadow about this matter, and after falling into the labyrinth cave, I have been worrying about this problem, and I can't imagine that it really happened.

Captain Li's face was grim, standing in the center of the crowd, mobilizing everyone:

"We are now trapped in a cave, running out of ammunition and food, and there is no way to be rescued in a short time, and even if someone comes to the rescue, the cave system is so complicated that I am afraid that even the rescuers will be lost in it. The only way we have left is to rely on the chance of probability, and use crowd tactics, but fortunately, this number is not large, and the odds of us breaking out are very high. We have been out of food for three days, and you have all seen that there is a phenomenon of loss of control in the team, I don't blame everyone, this is all the normal reaction that people can show in an atmosphere of despair, but in order to curb this desperate mood and preserve everyone's physical strength to continue to find an outlet, we had to draw lots to decide - eat a person! ”

Everyone nodded yes at the moment, although they were afraid that they would draw themselves, but there were others, who would think that this kind of thing could not fall on their heads.

Now, I finally understand what Yang Xue said, she said that Captain Li is a very deep person in the city and is good at manipulating, and sure enough, he saw that the situation was about to get out of control, and finally revealed his true nature, and began to use unscrupulous means to achieve his goal.

For some reason, I was very disgusted by this proposal, so I stood up and said:

"No one can deprive another of his life under any circumstances!"

Captain Li glared at me fiercely, blamed me for interfering, and said to me:

"Since you want to talk to me about the law, then I'll tell you about it. You are right, people can coexist in society is a prerequisite for the existence of the law, but legal jurisdiction is based on territory, and the cave we are now in can be said to be an unknown cave, the premise of coexistence is not valid at all, the law no longer applies to our current situation, in order to save ourselves, we must believe in our ancestors, believe in natural law! ”

Unexpectedly, Captain Li was so familiar with the legal provisions, I was refuted by him, and I was speechless for a while, but at this time, Yang Xue stood up and said:

"The contradiction of sacrificing a few people to save the majority has always been debated for a long time, I did this topic when I was in college, but now our consciousness is still within the controllable range, we have the ability to bear criminal responsibility, the decisions we make are obviously not protected by the law, if we really do this, even if we get out alive, we will definitely be punished by the law!"

Between the arguments, some people were already wavering, and they felt that Captain Li was right, and on the other hand, they felt that Yang Xue's analysis was also reasonable, and they were at a loss for a while.

I added: "Let's not forget that people can still live for 14 days without food, and even if we don't have food right now, judging by the time, we can still hold on for another week or so, and maybe in that time, we will have found an exit......

Captain Li's face changed drastically, and I was a little worried that he would use force to enforce this plan, but as long as half of the people disagreed, he didn't dare to act rashly, and only listened to him:

"The usual conditions of human existence make us more inclined to regard human life as an absolute value, which cannot be sacrificed under any circumstances, but I can tell you that the absolute value of human life is false in reality. After their deaths, instead of being blamed, saying that they could not sacrifice the minority to save the majority, they were enshrined as martyrs, great people's fighters, and made immortal heroic exploits! And the problems we are facing today, although not as great as the martyrs, but in essence are the same, at this time, someone must make sacrifices to save the lives of the majority of people, besides, we use the method of drawing lots, everyone has the same chance of winning. Although we can survive for a week without food, there is no point in leaving the week, we have no energy, we can only lie still and use up the last bit of energy in our bodies, so why not take the opportunity into our own hands? ”

Captain Li's remarks were very inflammatory, and everyone seemed to have found a step at once, found a reason to excuse themselves, and pointed out the feat of the revolutionary martyrs who sacrificed themselves to save everyone, and also used the famous words of the Russian writer Turgenev to say that people need to have a heart to sacrifice their own selfish interests.

I wanted to refute, but as soon as I stood up, I was grabbed by a member of the team next to me who was out of control and yelled at me

"What a saint and gentleman!" To put it bluntly, you kid is afraid of death! I don't think you're at ease, you want us all to die, and now we don't draw lots, just slaughter you and eat them!" ”

After saying that, he pounced on me and twisted with me. Seeing that I was about to run out of breath, Captain Li suddenly came over and pointed a gun at the player's head and asked him to let me go.

Captain Li said: "You are going against our previous will by doing so, and none of us can make such a decision alone, or it is most appropriate to draw lots." ”

I saw that they were all red-eyed, and if I objected any further, maybe I would be killed by them, so I sat next to Yang Xue and said to them:

"If you are willing to draw lots, you can draw lots, and if you are willing to eat human flesh, you can eat them, my position with Miss Yang will not change, and we will not participate in your plan."

When everyone heard this, they all cast their resentful eyes on me, eager to devour me alive, I saw that the situation was not right, so I sat where I was and stopped speaking, but at this time, Captain Li said, we are a team, and the two of you are also members of the team, so we must undertake this obligation and cannot engage in separatism.

Everyone nodded in acquiescence, saying that if we didn't join, they would kill us first.

The situation was completely out of control, and with my own strength, it was impossible to maintain the ethics of normalcy anymore, and when Captain Li saw that everyone had stopped raising objections, he took out a notebook from his backpack, tore off a page, and broke it into a dozen pieces, saying that he would write the contents of the lottery on each note.

The specifics of the content are very simple: one note is written with the word "death", and the other notes are written with the word "life", and as the person who draws the "death lot", he should abide by our previous agreement and commit suicide with a gun.

Everyone nodded in agreement, but at this juncture, they couldn't help but show a frightened look when they decided their fate with a "life and death sign".

Captain Li was afraid of going on a business trip again, so he quickly wrote the "life and death sign", crumpled the note, put it in a lunch box in front of everyone, covered it with his hands, and shook it a few times. He first brought the lunch box to a team member and asked him to reach out and smoke it, but the team member was very hesitant and said why he should be allowed to smoke it first. Captain Li scolded, stupid, you don't want to let you smoke first, you must know that the probability of winning the "dead lot" is the smallest for the person who draws first, and if you don't want to draw, I will give this opportunity to others.

The team member hesitated for a moment, then immediately pulled out a note from the lunch box, held it in the palm of his hand, and began to close his eyes and pray. I saw him kneeling on the ground, first kowtowing three times, and his mouth was full of stumbling, saying that the ancestors and ancestors appeared and blessed him, and his appearance was both weird and ridiculous.

Captain Li asked him to stop being verbose and quickly open the "Life and Death Sign" to see how it ended. The man trembled, and it took a long time to spread out his palm, pinching the crumpled note like a baby, slowly opening it, and when he saw it, his face suddenly changed!

I saw that he suddenly screamed, and he lifted the lunch box in Captain Li's hand to the ground like crazy, and shouted in horror:

"This ...... How is this possible! That's impossible! Didn't you say I had the best odds? Yes? How is this possible! This...... No! I'm not convinced, let me redraw twice, and win two out of three! Right! Best of three games......"

The team member was like a sifting chaff, trembling for a while, gritting his teeth for a while, looking at everyone with frightened eyes, trying to grasp a life-saving straw, but at this time, no one was on his side, he jumped up violently, and roared:

"You ...... You join forces to deceive me! ”

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and ran along the depths of the cave, how cold Captain Li was, where could he escape, raise the large-caliber rifle, raise the gun and shoot!

I only heard a loud "bang", and in an instant, the smoke of gunpowder filled the air, and the person who ran out was punched out of a huge blood hole in his back, and the dripping blood splashed violently, and the man was stunned for two seconds, and then fell to the ground and died.

Before everyone could react from the shock, they saw a person pop out of the team, and when I looked at it, I found that the old man surnamed Mao suddenly rushed over with an arrow for some reason, holding a round object in his hand.

I was so surprised that I immediately followed over to see what was going on, and when I got closer, I saw this old thing holding a compass in his hand, and his eyes were staring at the magnetic needle on the compass.

"If you want to live, run with Lao Tzu!"
