Chapter 19: Hedonism
The man in black expertly made his way to the top of the watchtower at the junction, opened the suitcase, and quickly assembled the sniper rifle.
"Wind speed...... The wind direction ......" The man in black glanced at the machine next to him, and at the same time adjusted the scope of the sniper rifle, "Bing Shijue's parents, make sure you are at home, no problem." ”
"Sniper Position 2 is ready."
“…… Sniper position 9 is ready. ”
"Did you observe the Ice Sense?"
"No, it's only been 10 minutes since the live broadcast of Yanjiang City, and even if Bing Shijue is extremely fast, he has only flown a third of the distance now." A rough answer came from everyone's headphones, "Kill his parents and lovers in 5 minutes, and evacuate all when the time is up, leaving no trace." ”
"Yes."
"It's great." Number 1 slowly tasted the venom that filled his heart, this feeling of detachment from the original morality, leaving the shackles of rules, and killing a person purely according to his preferences, as if he was in an endless pleasure.
The sniper rifle scope began to adjust, and through the window, it was aimed at a middle-aged man drinking in the room, and a middle-aged woman sitting next to her, who seemed to be urging drinking.
"Goodbye, parents of our Savior." No. 1 made sure that the scope was aimed at the middle-aged man's head, and he began to fantasize that after killing the couple, he would return to his original identity and become a hero in the chaos of war, landing on a ship a few years later.
Then, on the starry sky, watch the world burn, watch the world collapse.
Although the price is that for the rest of his life, he will become a hero in the eyes of people and become a captain who bears the lives and safety of many people.
But in this moment, he gained absolute freedom, absolute beauty.
"Shoot."
Gently pull the trigger, as if helping her daughter wipe the dust off her face before leaving.
Number 1 chose to shoot.
Nine fires, nine piercing roars rang out in the night.
The glass shattered, the wooden frames flew, and the debris swirled in the air.
Screams echoed through the streets, and those who were still working in the night looked at the family with shattered windows.
However, everyone also saw it.
In the night at this time, there was a ghostly green light, which was escaping.
This light has entered the room.
“…… It still hurts a little. Bing Shijue stretched out his left hand, and his index finger exploded directly due to the excessive use of energy, revealing bones like white jade. A faint cyan gas landed from nowhere, enveloping his body.
And beside him, there were nine high-speed spinning bullets hovering, which were slowly stopping to rotate.
"Shijue ......" Shu Jun covered his chest and kept panting, while Bing Cai on the side also turned pale, looking at Bing Shijue, whose fingers were bleeding like blood at this time. Bai Qiuyue, the best of them, also leaned against the wall, staring at the shattered window with palpitations.
"It doesn't matter. Little things. Bing Shijue's fingers and fingers quickly healed in the cyan gas, and in the next second, the wall in front of him directly shattered, and at the same time, the surveillance tower at the junction of the three countries also exploded directly because of the shattering of the glass and the wall.
In the darkness of the night, Bing Shijue stretched out his right hand.
Nine struggling figures, along with the guns floating beside them, were in everyone's eyes.
"You are worthy of being an immortal cultivator, you can rush from Yanjiang City to the junction in ten minutes, and your flight speed is already several times the speed of sound." A gentle clapping of hands resounded in the crowd, causing those watching the excitement to suddenly separate a road.
"Are you the initiator?" Bing Shijue looked at the person who clapped his hands, and after a sweep of his thoughts, he was sure that he had no weapons on him and nothing that could prove his identity, and judging from the acupoints with his mind open, he was also a capable person.
"That's right." The clapping man kept a little distance from Bing Shijue, but Bing Shijue also used his own eyes to "see" his face again.
Plain to extreme appearance, Chinese face, hair is neither long nor short, wearing long-sleeved trousers common at the junction, neither thin nor fat. The only memory point is probably a rough beard above the lips and chin. But if you shave your beard again, it's easy to hide in the crowd.
"But there are some things you may not understand well, so we can just talk." The man said, "For ease of calling, you can just call me number 0." ”
"Don't you want to use your name to the right person?" Bing Shijue asked.
"Yes, there is no need." Number 0 raised his head and looked at the nine people hovering above his head, "Besides, I don't care about their lives, so you can kill them now, or let them survive and buy people's hearts." ”
Bing Shijue frowned.
"Let's just introduce us briefly, we're hedonists, despairists, whatever you want to call it." No. 0 found a small bench from the ruins and looked at the starry sky overhead, "First of all, I have to admit that Bing Shijue, you and Zheng Kai's point of view is very beautiful and ideal. Even, it is possible beforehand, I sincerely wish you all. ”
"But, after our hedonism...... Well, I still like the name, so let's call it this. No. 0 smiled, as if he and Bing Shijue had been friends for more than ten years, "...... of strict calculations. In 10 years, about 30 million to 50 million elderly people on the planet will die of natural causes. Of course, in the midst of desperation, about 3 million more babies will be born. ”
"If your plan goes very well, you can build controlled fusion technology like the people on the moon base, and at the same time you can gather all the power of the city, even if it takes 30 years, to build enough ships to take people off the earth."
"In such a situation, the number of people you can take from Earth will increase to 10 million, and if you are lucky, it will increase to 15 million, and the number of ships will reach about 150."
"We've also predicted the popularity of intelligent robots, which is a possibility, but it will spread to Mercury, Venus and Mars. The entire solar system will be in shambles. However, it is understandable to consider the survival of human civilization, and the survival to the greatest extent. ”
"In such a plan, the number of human beings who can survive can exceed 50 million to 100 million, and there are nearly 500 ships, because of the assistance of robots, and even the earth can have several space motherships, some frigates, and even ships equipped with special functions."
"But even in the best case, there will be about 400 million people left on Earth." Number 0 said.
"Stay and die."
"Therefore, we hedonists know that we absolutely cannot live, and we want to squander our 43 years and completely liberate our nature, of course, it may also be animal nature." "We may come and kill you today, and tomorrow we may come up with some inspiration to help you." ”
"Still." Number 0 looked at Bing Shijue, and there was not a trace of emotion in his eyes, "We are destined to die." ”
"So now, can you put us people down?" "They've committed an attempted murder and they're going to be sent to trial, and the trial will be livestreamed, and you can also know their names, some basic information about them," said Zero. ”
"What about yours?" Bing Shijue lowered his hand and let those people slowly fall from the sky.
"I am the initiator, but not the instigator." 0 watched the policemen get closer, letting his hands be handcuffed, and smiled faintly, "I'm just a representative, in charge of conveying the ideas of our hedonists." ”
"So, see you in the future, Bing Shijue...... The laws of this place won't last long. 0 said, looking at the police officer on the side, "Right, you also want to run away, not be abandoned." ”
The man next to No. 0 did not answer, but with trembling hands, escorted him into the car.
Bing Shijue's heart was also a little messy, he took his silent mother at this time, his silent father, and Bai Qiuyue, who didn't know what to say, and a large bag of clothes and food to keep out the cold, and flew in the air like this.
Late at night, the four of them slowly flew to the riverside city in the night. Bing Shijue's thinking continued.
Of course he knows this, no matter how advanced their technology is, the time will always be only 43 years, and it is pure fantasy to leave the earth with 500 million people in such a short time.
I have to, I have no choice, I have no choice.
We have to give up some of our humanity.
What the hedonists say is indeed the truth.
"Son......" As soon as Bingcai's voice came out, it was blown away by the strong wind.
"Dad, I'm listening." Bing Shijue's voice connected to his father's brain.
"Vision, you were just affected by that person." Bingcai said.
"Yes...... There are so many people on the earth, although I can fly with you now, and I can have a lot of abilities, but I really can't save many people. ”
"Are you the Jade Emperor, or the Buddha of the Western Heavens?"
"Not ......"
"Then there's no need to think about it so much." Bingcai said, "It's good if you do what you can, and you don't regret it, and try not to hurt other people." ”
"Because people live, every choice people make will definitely have an impact on people, but before we do things, think about ourselves and others. Pay attention, you are in front of others, if there is something in the world that is convenient for you and others, it is the best. Bingcai said, "The simplest example, company recruitment, this position is very good, but there is only one person, do you feel guilty because you feel admitted at this time?" No, you will only feel like you are a winner, a winner. ”
"But Dad, this thing is different......"
"Of course it's different, but have you done your best and have no regrets?" Bingcai asked, "Even if it is the most uncomplaining thing, people will have unfinished things and leave regrets." ”
"Your dad and I used to run a company. But it went out of business because of the picnic area. Bingcai smiled, "But I don't regret it, I didn't use public funds to do personal things, I worked overtime with those workers at night and pushed goods with them." I have adopted all the opinions they have put forward, and I have done everything that can be beneficial to life and to the factory. ”
"So I don't regret it." Bing Cai looked at Bing Shijue, "Son, I hope you are too." ”
