Su Hao nodded seriously: "In addition, I have some questions that I want to find answers to from you." ”

Xu Renjie lit another cigarette and looked at Su Hao without blinking: "Say, what do you want to know?" ”

"You've known for a long time that there would be a virus storm in the Dao, right?"

Su Hao's question is very straightforward, and it is a secret that he has been trying to explore since the future era.

Xu Renjie's expression was a little surprised, but he didn't look surprised.

He didn't expect Su Hao's question to be this, but this question is also consistent with Su Hao's identity.

"I was negligent. You were previously a civilian, not an officer. ”

Xu Renjie flicked the cigarette ash thoughtfully, and looked at Su Hao's gaze became calm: "Great disasters and death can indeed change logical thinking. You are very stubborn, and there are many people like you who want to know the answer. ”

"A lot of people?"

Su Hao was a little surprised, and his eyes flashed: "Who are they?" ”

"There have never been any secrets in this world."

Xu Renjie didn't say anything, he wiped his thinning hair, smoked slowly, and his eyes tended to be confused in the swirling smoke.

The so-called "secret" is just for most people. Some people make it up, cover it up, disguise it with flickering words, and it becomes the truth that everyone is desperately looking for. Hehe...... That's my first explanation of your question. ”

Su Hao didn't speak. His expression remained calm and calm.

"There are countless answers to any question. Just like "Ifl", this simple addition problem can be equal to any number under the premise of its own setting. The same is true of secrets———— whose makers always shroud themselves in countless bizarre false fantasies in order not to be seen through by others. When you gently peel off a layer and touch the inside, you will be ecstatic, thinking that you are the greatest discoverer in the world. However, this is not the case, there is a first layer, there is a second layer, a third layer, and even more set-ups will never be easily discovered by others. He will use various methods to lure you astray, wandering back and forth in labyrinths and chaos. When you see a pearl or a gemstone, you think it's a treasure. In fact, the surface of a truly valuable treasure is always covered with a thick layer of dirt. ”

After publishing this emotion, which was even more profound than that of a philosopher, Xu Renjie took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and looked at Su Hao with a sharp gaze.

"Now, do you still want to find answers?"

Su Hao didn't understand what Xu Renjie's words meant. He felt some kind of very strange consciousness looming in his head. It was a powerful force that could concentrate all the thinking cells, dragging them through the darkness, moving unwaveringly in every possible exit.

At this moment, the resolute and calm expression on Su Hao's face was the best answer.

"When I first heard the term "virus storm", it was ll. At that time, I was only a division commander and my rank was only a major general. I and some others underwent a half-year closed training in the Northern Military Region, and their identities were similar to mine, and they were all senior commanders of the main forces. ”

"Most of the training courses are lectures, and the content is about the interconnection between the people, the government, and the army during the war. Test items include "Distribute leftover food to civilians, or do all the soldiers starve to death?" Or, "Ninety percent of the soldiers were killed or wounded in order to rescue civilians?" Multiple choice questions. In addition to these, you also have to watch a large number of film and television works, all of which are different types of disaster movies. The question of the post-viewing assessment is: What choice would you make in that situation? ”

Most of the personnel participating in the training are school-level officers, and the blood test results are all "Class A" physique. At that time, it was not clear that "Category A" and "Category B" were actually synonyms that distinguish between infection and immunity. The virus is transmitted through the air, and the cell wall of people with "class B" constitution will be instantly ruptured, which will cause the nucleus to be naked, and the rate of cell fluid exchange will suddenly increase dozens of times, resulting in the bursting of blood vessels and the necrosis of muscle tissue, thus giving rise to another kind of non-intelligent life form on the basis of the infected person...... Of course, viruses are living beings, and they may be instinctive, or they may have intelligence that we cannot observe. These small things, invisible to the naked eye, occupy the brains of infected people, with the cranial cavity as the core, and constantly form a new parasitic base. You should know these professional ideas better than I do. As for "Category A", it does not mean complete immunity. That's just the instinctive defense of white blood cells in the early stages of the virus's invasion. Once bitten, a large number of viruses enter the body from the outside world, and the "Class A" constitution is not immune. Either way, humans are defined as two major groups, which means that people who were not initially infected can survive until immunization boosters are developed and manufactured. ”

"Intensive training丨 is actually brainwashing. Don't think it's a negative word, it's just a way of indoctrination that forces us to change our fixed logical thinking. The tone of this biological war is to abandon civilians, concentrate the core elite forces, and finally win the victory through continuous defense, strengthening, and counterattack. There are nearly 10 billion people in the world, and it is impossible for us to take care of all of them. Someone will die, someone will die. The definition of "Category A" and "Category B" makes about half of humanity destined to become infected. Even if the lucky ones survive, there will be many people who will be abandoned. ”

"The ...... of the World"

Su Hao repeated this sentence in his mouth, staring at Xu Renjie with a somewhat strange gaze: "You just said that this is a disaster in the whole world?" ”

"It's not a problem of any country or region."

Xu Renjie's face was very complicated, he kept smoking a cigarette and breathing in the turbid air: "China, the United States, Russia, Germany...... Many countries have a variety of pre-emptive responses. Hehe, do you think that the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States and the financial problems in Europe are separate cases? At that time, the turbulence of the international futures and stock markets was the result of the covert manipulation of several major governments and the massive hoarding of materials as reserves. Construction also began in various base cities at the same time, causing the prices of building materials and steel to skyrocket. In order to stabilize the market, a large number of development projects were temporarily suspended, and transaction prices gradually stabilized after a few years. People are unlikely to know this, they only believe that the financial crisis was caused by the government's indiscriminate issuance of money. In fact, the root of the problem is not there, but in order to rationalize the use of resources and prepare for the virus storm in a few years. ”

Su Hao was very strange: "Since you already know the Dao, why don't you concentrate all your strength for defense and deal with it in advance?" ”

"It's not as simple as you think."

Xu Renjie shook his head calmly: "This is a crisis in the world, but not all countries know the inside story. ”

Su Hao's pupils shrank, his eyes froze, and he asked in disbelief: "You, what did you say?" ”

"Only China, the United States, France, Germany and Russia are involved in the core defense program."

Xu Renjie seemed to have expected Su Hao's reaction, and he said lightly: "It was a huge global plan, and the issues involved were very complicated. Military, demographic, cultural, political...... Almost everything is covered. In order to prevent leakage of the contents of the plan, the G-5 held its first meeting in Moscow and stipulated that the senior participants in the discussions must be the head of the country's defense ministry or intelligence agency. Only those with a blood test result of "Class A" constitution will be able to attend the meeting. These secrets are known only to insiders, and all "Category B" personnel who fail blood tests are excluded, even the president of the country. If you pay more attention to the international news of that period, you will find that the change of heads of state in these countries is very frequent. In particular, the prime ministers of France and Germany are both "Class B". In order to get them to hand over power as soon as possible, the country's planning participants did not hesitate to create scandals, forcing them to resign during their term of office, and handing over the voice to others who knew the inside story and had immunity. ”

Su Hao felt his whole body tremble involuntarily. He controlled his emotions and muttered, "Is this done to integrate resources?" ”

"That's just part of the plan."

Xu Renjie smiled faintly, his old face distorted: "The European debt crisis and the dollar problem in 20ll are actually the result of the G5's covert financial manipulation. In the eyes of outsiders, this is a harbinger of the world's financial crisis and the overall decline in economic indicators. In fact, a large amount of this money and resources are being siphoned off for a huge and hidden construction project. France bought large tracts of wasteland in central Africa in the name of "prospecting", Germany acquired mining rights in southern Australia, and the United States launched so-called "new economic experiments" in Nevada and the West. And the Russians, who are setting up new oil pipelines in Siberia and agreeing with Ukraine on grain cooperation...... With these excuses as a cover, hundreds of base cities have entered the construction stage. We are no exception, ostensibly as the economic center of gravity shifts to the western region. In fact, behind the massive expansion of towns in various places, a large number of base cities have broken ground. ”

"These base cities are different from traditional human settlements. The core and main control units are deep underground and have independent energy supply systems. Surface facilities are simple. In order to disguise, most of the surface projects are used as an excuse for real estate development, and the progress is slow, and even used "insufficient funds" and other excuses to deceive the outside world. In particular, the most important city walls of the external construction project, which did not begin until June 18. As you can see, they are tall and sturdy, consume a lot of building materials, and are an essential foundation for safety. ”

Su Hao put his hands on the table, his head bowed downward. In this way, he concealed his shock and horror, but his mind was full of doubts and pain.

"Since you've had so much time to prepare, what's the point...... Why do you want to turn a blind eye when the storm of the virus comes, and not save the poor people? ”

Xu Renjie twirled the cigarette butt on his fingertips, his expression a little stiff.

"Ready...... These two words are not as simple as they seem on the surface. All these actions need to be hidden from the outside world, and the allocation of funds and materials requires a series of complex operations to complete. In order not to cause social unrest, there is no trace of these changes and transfers, but their changes will eventually cause market shocks. This involves a series of problems———— the slightest carelessness in technology patents, capital circulation, raw material pricing power, markets and profits, not only will not achieve the desired results, but will lead to disaster in advance. ”

"Don't underestimate the strength of the wealthy consortium. For the sake of interests, they have provoked wars more than once in history. According to the mutual agreement, the G5 did not bring in consortium capital to participate in the construction until the later stage, and within a limited scope, they were given corresponding benefit commitments. We need a stable enough environment to deal with the crisis, and early disclosure of issues like the virus storm will only cause chaos. ”

Su Hao raised his head suddenly, and there was already a little bloodshot in his eyes: "There are countless people who have died for this." If you help the virus at the first opportunity, many people will survive. ”

"I admit that there are discerning elites among the common people. But their numbers are so small. And you've forgotten an extremely important issue———— the more you know, the more you want to get. ”

Xu Renjie's eyes became cold: "If the plan is leaked, the civilian class will have a new leader in a short time." These people are more greedy than you think. They will drive the population to create global chaos, which is greater and more terrible than the damage caused by the virus. ”

Su Hao sneered and sneered: "This is just an unfounded guess. You are afraid of losing and you are not willing to let go. ”

Xu Renjie's expression gradually calmed down: "In 18 years, I was in charge of supervising a wealthy businessman in the steel manufacturing industry who invested a lot of money in the construction. When the man learned of the plan, he carefully prepared a series of plans to incite the people to form a new government. He claimed to be the embodiment of God, able to foresee calamities, and secretly printed hundreds of thousands of copies of the so-called New Age Gospel. His god-making plan has not yet been carried out before we have cracked it. Now that I think about it, it's really funny. That person is a representative of national entrepreneurs and has won the "May Day" Labor Medal for several consecutive years. The alternation of reason and desire is only instantaneous. ”

"If the secret is made public, there is no need to wait for the outbreak of the virus, and there will be chaos and war in the world. In the face of death, few people give up their chances to others. They will find ways to occupy more supplies, violence and bloodshed will increase, religious forces will take advantage of the opportunity to expand their influence, all material production links will be interrupted, and large numbers of people will starve to death every day. There are also those countries that have been excluded from the inner bloc, who want to know more and who will go to war at all costs. In order to deal with it, we will have to draw a large number of troops. In that case, there is no need for a virus at all, and I am afraid that a staggering number of nuclear and biological weapons would be enough to destroy the planet. To know the way, when you know in advance that death is coming, people ...... will turn into a beast. ”

A trace of paleness flashed across Su Hao's face.

He couldn't fight back against Xu Renjie's words. At that point, it's the only right way to deal with it.

Chaos will bring social unrest and war, and the number of dead will far exceed the part of the future world that will be recorded as zombies. Rapid technological progress has been accompanied by the birth of more and more powerful weapons. Thoughts such as "Sooner or later, it's better to drag others to hell together" are enough to destroy reason and produce a huge group of madmen. At that time, people will never be able to deal with it together, and it will only be scattered.

Open the secret, and humanity may perish early.

Cover up secrets, at least have the army as a powerful armed group.

It's like a multiple-choice question, and between "worse" and "destruction", there is no doubt that the former can only be chosen.

Su Hao was silent for a few seconds and slowly opened his lips.

"What kind of virus, why do they appear?"

Xu Renjie looked at him, a faint smile appeared on his long-tense face, but he did not answer Su Hao's question.

"Also, who predicted the timing of the viral storm? Why is it that only the G5 is involved in formulating the plan? ”

What is the standard for measuring the constitution of "Category A" and "Category B"? Where do the formulation references for immunotherapy and booster come from? ”

Countless question marks appeared one after another in Su Hao's mind. He suddenly found that Xu Renjie seemed to answer his questions, but he did not touch any key points, but stimulated himself to urgently want to know more. It's like a drug addict who can't stop.

"I told you before that there are countless explanations for any problem."

Xu Renjie's face showed solemnity and seriousness, and he said slowly: "I understand your mood at the moment. I've also been younger, and when I learned about the virus outbreak, I was doing the same thing as you do now. When the fixed logical thinking is broken and replaced by a new way of thinking, it will always feel uncomfortable, and even extremely ridiculous thoughts will arise. We have received a directive prohibiting the rescue of civilians. It's very incomprehensible to people, and theoretical brainwashing has not worked for everyone. They were ordered to undergo training camps again, and a lot of similar views were instilled. Those who are stubborn and cannot be converted are purged, and important positions are replaced by those who are resolutely obedient to orders. Many people died, but those who survived were the elites with the strongest faith and will. ”

"You can call me cold-blooded, ruthless, tyrannical, cruel...... But you have to understand that the people who make the plans are not crazy. They are very rational and able to stand at heights that ordinary people cannot match. They systematically analyze the problem, consider the benefits and losses holistically, and make trade-offs. This is no longer a crisis that can be solved by national or political means, but a biological war that all mankind must deal with. Don't think of others as ugly. Unable to get to the core, one-sided views will only lead to misunderstandings. It's like I used Meng Yan to exchange them with you. You are strong and can play a more powerful role on the battlefield. So, you're alive. I admit that there is also an element of power and selfishness, but more than that...... Or the big picture. ”

After a pause, Xu Renjie continued: "As for other questions, I can't give you answers. ”

Su Hao blurted out: "What are you doing?" ”

"Two reasons."

Xu Renjie stretched out two fingers: "First: your level is not enough." Access to secrets must be done with the corresponding identity permissions. Your rank is only Captain, and I wouldn't have been able to say that to you if it weren't for the fact that you're a "" class researcher. ”

Su Hao's eyes lit slightly: "What else?" ”

"Second: There are a lot of questions that I want to figure out. It's the same as what I just said: I'm just the commander of the 71st Army, and there are people with higher status above. They hold the core secrets. If you can climb to that position, the truth will be revealed. ”
