Yandu, Wu Ming's home at No. 21 Renzhi, Old Town.
The morning news was playing on the TV, and Wu Ming, the eccentric creature of the family, was sitting on his newly bought dining table eating breakfast.
"Two days ago, a large-scale landslide occurred in the forest area of Sichuan'e Roof Ridge. Fortunately, the villagers of the village had already moved out collectively. It was discovered that someone had entered the mountain before. After the local search and rescue team, they successfully rescued two trapped people and three others. Unfortunately, one person was killed and one person’s whereabouts are unknown. In addition, the remains of many explorers who were lost in the mountains were also found after the landslide..."
"Brother, do you think they can return to their normal lives?" After hearing the news, Elizabeth immediately felt that the buns in her hand were not as fragrant as usual. She had lost her appetite even though she had only eaten three buns. Depressed.
In the past, she could eat thirty buns in one sitting. Today, her food intake has been reduced to one-tenth of her usual size, which shows how seriously her mood affects her appetite.
Wu Ming knew exactly what she was worried about.
Even if they found the survivors as quickly as possible that night and dealt with them, they could not save everyone.
For those who have died, even if the reconstruction module can repair their physical injuries, it is impossible to bring the dead back to life.
For those who survived, perhaps only deleting their memories could heal the trauma in their hearts, but they all rejected this option.
Siegfried held a bun in both hands and ate it in small bites. When she was eating at the director's house, she was also enlightened with a lot of common sense about the world: "Probably she won't be able to return to a normal life. Once she and I If you are involved in the extraordinary, you will basically be involved in it for the rest of your life. Even if your life trajectory is corrected, you will inevitably be included in the watch list."
"What's more, they all actively choose to retain those memories and experiences..."
Elizabeth's eyes darkened, and she couldn't help but think of that young man's stubborn look.
Half of his face and half of his body collapsed into smoke, but the young man still looked at Elizabeth and Wu Ming firmly, his eyes burning with the flames of anger, hatred and grief, and he spoke out his choice.
"No! I want to remember all this!"
He could obviously choose an easier path, forget these experiences, forget everything that happened, and choose to live in an easy way, but that boy still chose the path full of pain and thorns.
One can't help but feel sorry for this young man's future.
"After the secret realm of the Eternal Life Village is destroyed and completely lands in the real world, it will inevitably cause various extraordinary forces to investigate. The truth will feed ordinary people to the Eternal Life Village, and then make it into extraordinary potions, so that ordinary people can also obtain extraordinary The fact of potential will inevitably be exposed to the eyes of all major forces. Whether it is an organization that covets this technology, or several extraordinary forces that maintain the balance of the extraordinary world and modern society, in the future, the truth will inevitably become the target of all major extraordinary forces. ." Zhao Sida calmly drank the doll's special porridge with a large amount of lubricating oil added, and calmly analyzed the situation.
"Judging from the results, although we failed to take the opportunity to explore the Changsheng Village to find out the truth society's lair this time, we did achieve the effect of attacking the truth society... But then, as other extraordinary forces gradually took over Reaching towards Yandu, extraordinary battles may break out frequently in Yandu, and if all parties show real fire, it may even turn into a fierce battle on the surface..."
Wu Ming nodded in agreement. The method that allows extraordinary creatures to transform ordinary people into extraordinary creatures without any damage is already a shocking technology for the extraordinary world. For human civilization, it is basically the same as miniaturized and controllable nuclear fusion. technology. Once there is a breakthrough in research, the problem of energy crisis can be greatly alleviated.
In the same way, once the technology for non-destructive extraordinary transformation is developed, extraordinary creatures will have the capital to infiltrate on a large scale.
Those extraordinary creatures and their forces with evil intentions will inevitably reach out to Yandu. Regardless of whether this technology is real or not, they will definitely come to Yandu to search for the truth and test it.
At that time, the truth will be brought to the forefront and will no longer be able to hide in the shadows.
"To fish for the big fish in the long term, we should stay behind the scenes and wait for the situation to develop, and when conditions permit, release some information about truth pills and wisdom potions, and use tangible benefits to force other forces to submit to the Truth Society. Pressure..."
Elizabeth couldn't help rolling her eyes, and said something to the puppet girl: "A puppet with a heart of stone, pure profit supremacy..."
"You've run out of braised pork ribs..." The doll girl glanced at Elizabeth silently, ignoring the latter's wailing and shouting, and turned her head to Wu Ming: "Manager, what do you think of this approach?"
"I don't care..." Wu Ming ate the hot dry noodles in the bowl and muttered: "As long as the matter doesn't get too big and the office doesn't assign any hard tasks, I actually have the right to make any decision or any decision. Choice, I can choose to watch or intervene, but if I do what you said, Old Zhao, there will definitely be many victims, right?"
With Yandu as the center, extraordinary forces from all over the world will send people to test whether the technology of non-destructive extraordinary transformation is true. In order to compete for this technology in the future, local friction may even escalate into a fierce battle regardless of the hidden extraordinary power.
Even with the suppression of the extraordinary forces that block the extraordinary world and modern society from above, the greed in the hearts of those extraordinary creatures cannot be cut off. They will still take risks to compete for the technology of non-destructive extraordinary transformation.
And in this process of competing for each other, will there be no ordinary people involved? When extraordinary creatures are competing for lossless extraordinary transformation technology, will they say hello to ordinary people first and ask them to leave the place quickly and clear the place?
Obviously not. The result is self-evident. Ordinary people will inevitably be involved in this unreasonable disaster and even die.
Zhao Sida nodded and had no intention of hiding anything: "Exchanging the maximum benefits with the minimum sacrifice is the optimal solution under the current situation. There are always sacrifices for the sake of the overall situation..."
“Sometimes the optimal solution doesn’t work very well.”
"Necessary sacrifices are unavoidable. Manager, you can't save everyone..."
"I know, it's better to save what you can..." Wu Ming sighed, "Necessary sacrifices, please think about the overall situation. These words sometimes become a kind of sophistry. If abused, they will become a collective sacrifice of individual family and dignity. , interests, and even lives. For the collective, individual losses are often just a series of numbers, an unattractive piece of data. But for individuals, what they lose is often everything... "
Before he could finish his words, the cell phone on the dining table began to vibrate.
Buzz!
The screen automatically woke up and showed that he had a new message, which made Wu Ming a little confused about who sent him the message so early in the morning.
Unlocking the phone, a new message from Lin Jiaojiao jumped into her eyes.
"Brother Wu Ming, have you heard of an urban legend?"
