Chapter 148: Human Nature and Reality! 【Seeking Gold Diamond】

"How did you come so fast?"

Looking at the terrifying insect cloud that occupied the distant sky, the faces of Chu Xun and the others changed in unison.

Didn't the intelligence say that the biter would arrive in at least 6 hours? However, based on the current location of the insect cloud in the distant sky, it is estimated that it will not be long before it will cover the top of Chu City!

"Either the information is wrong, or the insect demon has some way to increase the speed of the swarm!" At this moment, Yang Ling's mechanized eyes were constantly flashing with red light, obviously calculating something. Soon, he came up with the result, and said in a deep voice: "I calculated, the speed of these mutant insects has more than doubled for some unknown reason. If you don't consider other factors, with the current speed of the swarm, it will only take 2 hours at most to reach the top of Chu City! ”

As the saying goes, Wangshan runs a dead horse, although the insect swarm in the distance of the sky has been faintly visible, but in fact there is still a distance, coupled with the bloodthirsty nature of the insect swarm, both humans and animals will be slaughtered everywhere they pass, so it will also waste a lot of time. But even so, the time left for Chu Cheng was cut by two-thirds!

And these lost 4 hours undoubtedly need human lives to fill!

"2 hours, that's not enough for people from nearby satellite towns to evacuate!" Hearing Yang Ling's estimate, Chu Hang's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

If it is according to the original plan, although the three-hour evacuation time is very tight, with the help of the ability, it is enough to evacuate several satellite towns on the path that the insect swarm must pass, even if they can't all be arranged in Chu City, they can be assigned to other satellite towns, and at the worst, they can let them escape for their lives.

However, the time left for Chu Cheng suddenly changed from 6 hours to 2 hours, and in this case, it is impossible for Chu Cheng to send out a living force to evacuate and transfer civilians, and it is even possible to immediately impose complete martial law and prohibit entry and exit. It's just that in this way, the 3 satellite towns that are located on the path that the swarm must pass through will not be able to be saved!

The three satellite towns combined, that's a full 70,000 or 80,000 people!

Thinking that tens of thousands of people were about to become the rations of the Zerg, Chu Xun and the others became extremely heavy. They are not sentimental people, but tens of thousands of people ...... This number is so terrible, too unacceptable!

"Castle Lord...... You won't let them go, will you? Thinking of the terrible result, Chu Hang swallowed hard, then clenched his fists and asked with a little trembling.

"Notice of the whole city: due to special reasons, the speed of the insect swarm is far faster than expected, and now the whole city will immediately enter the state of special combat readiness, please follow the instructions on the special combat readiness order to act, if there are violators, those who do not cooperate, those who violate the yang and yin, there will be no mercy!"

However, before Chu Xun and the others could speak, the sound of announcements from all over the city shattered Chu Hang's illusions and told him a cruel truth.

The implementation of the special combat readiness order suddenly plunged the entire city into a dead silence, not only because of fear, but also because of the silence for those who were about to die tragically under the worm's mouth.

No matter how cold and indifferent a person is, it is impossible not to feel moved when facing the tragic death of tens of thousands of people. This has nothing to do with pity and kindness, but more of a kind of sorrow caused by the death of a rabbit and a fox, and the sorrow caused by things hurting oneself.

After a long silence, the whole city suddenly boiled, and everyone began to get busy in horror. Because it suddenly occurred to them that if Chu Cheng missed, then their result would probably be the same as those who they had just mourned silently, and they would die tragically under the mouths of poisonous insects.

"That's tens of thousands of people...... Only then did the bear child react, he trembled all over, and looked at Chu Xun with an unbelievable expression, as if he wanted to get an answer from Chu Xun: "Brother...... How can they be so cruel? Is their blood cold? ”

"It's not that human nature is cruel, it's that the world is cruel!" Hearing the bear child's question, Chu Xun was silent for a moment, then let out a long sigh, patted the bear child's shoulder, and said, "Because if you don't do this, once Chu City is lost, then there will only be more deaths." You may not know that after Baicheng was destroyed by the insect plague, it didn't take long for more than a dozen satellite towns to survive with Baicheng as the center to disappear one by one. ”

"Why?" The bear child didn't know this history, so after hearing Chu Xun's words, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and asked: "Didn't you say that the insect plague stopped in Baicheng at the beginning, then why did other satellite towns also be destroyed one by one after the fall of Baicheng?" ”

"Without the protection of the main city, the power and logistics of the satellite town cannot exist on its own." At this moment, Yang Ling also sighed, took Chu Xun's words, and said, "So although this decision is cruel, it is definitely the most correct choice!" ”

"Original...... Is this the end times? "It is only at this moment that the bear child, who has lived a safe and secure life, truly realizes the cruelty of the last days, and sometimes people have to make sacrifices if they want to survive in this world. Otherwise, the final result can only be said to be that everyone will die together.

For a moment, everyone fell silent again.

Yes, this is the last days, the cruel last days, the last days when people will die all the time......

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Just when Chu Xun and the others were silent, bursts of violent roars and thunder suddenly sounded from the south city wall, and at the same time, thunder could be faintly seen falling from the sky, and the momentum was amazing.

In addition to the violent thunder, bursts of shouting, scolding, discussions, and roars also continued to sound from the south city wall, and finally converged into a earth-shaking sound, which reached the ears of Chu Xun and others.

"What's going on?" Seeing the abnormal changes in the city wall, Chu Xun and the others were stunned for a moment, then glanced at each other, and shot towards the direction of the city wall at an extremely fast speed.

Although there was an anomaly at the city wall, the city defense weapons were not activated, so it means that it was not attacked by dangerous creatures.

And if it's not a dangerous creature attack, then the only thing that makes sense is the human survivors!

Thinking of this, Chu Xun and the others also accelerated.

They are not good people in the pure sense of the word, but their blood is still not cold, and if possible, they will naturally do their best to save some people who could have not died!

By the time Chu Xun and the others arrived at the city wall, it was already boiling. Countless people gathered around the city walls, arguing and arguing, as if arguing about something. And the officer of the city guard who had helped Chu Xun once was also on the city wall, but his expression was also very hesitant at this moment, as if he didn't know how to make a decision.

At the same time, the shouting and scolding coming from outside the city walls became clearer. And one of them has the most high-pitched and clear voice, and there is even a faint sound of thunder among them, as if every scolding is a thunderclap.

"What bullshit special combat readiness order, the swarm is coming soon, hurry up and let us in, you guys can't let us die outside the city!"

"We finally escaped, you can't die without help!"

"One more person and more power, I'm an alien, I will definitely be able to help!"

"The handsome guy above, help me, as long as you let me in, my whole person is yours!"

……

The shouts and pleadings continued to reach the ears of Chu Xun and the others, and they turned their heads to look, only to find that thousands of survivors had gathered under the city wall at some point. These people are all lightly armed, everyone is embarrassed, and many of them are even stained with blood and wounds, obviously they have already experienced bloody battles in order to get here.

At the same time, the officers of the city guard were already surrounded by people, all of whom had been temporarily recruited to guard the city walls. Now they're arguing about whether or not to let these people in.

Now that the insect plague is coming, the entire city's city defenses have been fully activated, and the city's walls are covered with magnetic fields. So if you want to let these people in, there are only two options, the first is to turn off the magnetic field and use a crane to lift these people up. The second is to open the gates and let them in.

However, for these thousands of people, it will take a long time to start opening the city gate with a crane crane, and more importantly, once the magnetic field is turned off, there must be a 30-minute buffer period to open it, if the sea of insects arrives at this time, then Chu City will become extremely passive.

So this moment is also a contest between human nature and reality, if they are not let in, then of course, the safety of Chu City can be guaranteed to the greatest extent, but at the same time, these people will also die in front of their eyes. This kind of guilt and guilt is not something that ordinary people can bear.

Because of this, the adepts on the city walls argued, and the officers of the city guard did not know what to decide.

And like everyone else, when Chu Xun realized the situation here, he also hesitated.

The Chu madman was in charge of the city defense of the entire city, and as a disciple of the Chu madman, if he came forward, the Chu madman would most likely let these people into the city in his face.

But in this way, the city, and hundreds of thousands of people in the city, will also be at great risk!

After all, for the Zerg, the slightest loophole may be infinitely magnified and become an anthill that bursts the embankment, leading to the destruction of the whole city!

So, these people, does he save or not?
