Facing Zhang Tie, he questioned himself for the first time, or he was painfully searching for an answer.
Lin An couldn't help but be a little stunned.
why...
does it worth?
Facing Zhang Tie's question, Lin An remained silent for a long time and just smiled bitterly in his heart.
To be honest, he didn't know why, and he didn't know if it was worth it.
Since his rebirth, he only wanted to protect the people around him, as long as he had some strength.
Now, after step by step to become the strongest in the world, he has unknowingly taken on more.
You have to ask why you don’t give up, why you are still willing to endure all this...
From the perspective of one's own interests, perhaps the belief system needs a sufficient population, or perhaps it is the hope that humans can help him in the future and resist the end of the world together.
Without a stable rear, it is difficult to survive in this unpredictable and mysterious apocalypse.
The supervisor can't always replace him with tasks, and Lin An also knows very well that he can't be good at everything, and he can't do it all by himself.
The path of rules requires a large population to research the route.
Of course, these are not the key.
After thinking about it, Lin An looked into Zhang Tie's eyes and spoke softly:
"Do you hate it? Hate people's suspicion and incomprehension of us. Hate why you don't let them die and only save the ones you want to save?"
With a sigh, Lin An thought for a while and gave out the half-answer he had been struggling for for a long time.
“People are born stupid, so they need to be “taught.”
"Ignorance, selfishness, greed, and demagoguery are not their fault."
"What's wrong is that they can't see the truth. The environment and power they are in are not enough for them to do the right thing."
Xiong Hanzi looked at him and couldn't understand.
Lin An paused for a moment and continued:
"Zhang Tie, if we hadn't become partners back then..."
"You are now an awakened person outside Long'an. What do you think of me?"
"Another example."
"Now someone tells you that an extremely powerful fourth-level man has indeed saved you and told you that as long as you believe in him, you will gain power. What will you do?"
"With power, you can protect your family and your friends, so that you no longer suffer from hunger and fear all day long, and you can even take revenge..."
"And the price is just to be hostile to a powerful person who has nothing to do with you and has nothing to do with you."
"People from Long'an may thank me, but why should people outside thank me?"
"In their eyes, I didn't help them at all, and they didn't rely on me to survive."
"Even for many awakened people, I did rob them of the resources they might have."
"Are they wrong?"
Lin An smiled and shook his head.
"They're just trying to survive in any way they can."
"In the face of survival, so-called morality is meaningless, let alone anything else?"
"They are just a bunch of poor people."
After the words fell, Lin An looked past Zhang Tie and looked into the distance.
Familiar faces flashed through my memory.
Anduin...Li Enzhu...Han Youzhen...Huang Zheng...Zhang Zhicheng...Wang Meng...
Among these people, there are weak people, good people, villains who want to please, and soldiers who are stubborn.
No matter how these people were before they met him, after he showed his strength, these people all regarded Lin An as their hope.
In a sense, the relationship between these people and him is no different from that of the pseudo-fourth order and his followers.
They have no strength, they want to survive, they can only rely on the strong.
"Zhang Tie, people are very complicated."
"Perhaps one moment a person is a coward and a villain, and the next moment he becomes a hero."
"Maybe yesterday he was a good guy and tomorrow he hates the whole world."
"I once met a store owner and a retired soldier."
"They used to be so kind. Even after killing a zombie, they would pray devoutly and bury the body."
"But after they gained strength and experienced some things, they would rather become monsters than eat the flesh and blood of their own kind and kill everyone they hate."
"It's not them who are at fault, but the really evil people, the group of escapees."
"It's this apocalypse, a world that turns people into monsters."
Turning his head, Lin An looked seriously at Zhang Tie, who was looking at him blankly, as if he was speaking to Xiong Hanzi, but also to himself.
"Until the end is over, nothing will be over."
"It's not the people who are wrong, it's the world."
After finishing his words, Lin An said no more.
He didn't tell Zhang Tie why they couldn't escape in terms of the stakes.
He didn't tell Zhang Tie that running away was useless.
To take one step back is to take ten thousand steps back.
very few people know.
Maybe the second will knows, maybe Chu An knows.
What does Lin An really hate?
Or rather, what he wants to do.
End this apocalypse.
Even if he is just an insignificant, extremely insignificant ant in this game.
------------------
after an hour.
Above low Earth orbit.
In the silent space, Lin An looked calmly at the blue planet beneath his feet.
Mountains, rivers and deserts.
As the earth rotates, it continues to pass through his eyes.
I'm not sure if there will be any strange phenomena when being transported to the battlefield of stars by the system.
I don’t want too many people to know either.
Lin An simply chose to wait here for the system's introduction.
Look at the blue planet below your feet.
Although it was covered with black corpses, the lights representing civilization were also scattered here and there.
But in Lin An's eyes, this blue planet is really beautiful.
It was as if from the depths of his genes, from the depths of his bloodline, from the depths of his soul, he had an inseparable connection with this world.
With his powerful five senses, he could even feel the faint fluctuations coming from the earth, and could hear the roars of the awakened ones in battle and the screams of monsters.
You can see a fleeting spark exploding in a corner, and you can see a storm raging over a city.
A large amount of information poured into his mind, and countless people's voices sounded in his mind.
I don’t know if it’s because of the specialness of the meat system.
Different from the fourth level of the rules system, only the five senses are stronger.
For Lin An, if he does not close his five senses.
With his current strength, he is enough to receive tens of millions of various messages in one second.
He could hear the cries of children hundreds, even thousands of kilometers away.
Hear the screams of the women, the angry shouts of the soldiers, and the excited gasps of the tormentors.
You can hear the most helpless prayers and the most desperate wailings.
This is a very painful state.
Once upon a time, Lin An didn't understand what it meant to have greater power and greater responsibility.
He always believed that it was just the moral kidnapping of the strong by the weak.
But since becoming the pinnacle and returning to reality, Lin An suddenly understood the meaning.
When a person can hear, see, and know that tragedies are happening "around" him, and that living lives are dying in front of his eyes.
How can we remain indifferent?
Especially since he was powerful enough to stop it all with just a flick of his finger.
Although he is sensible enough, in the eyes of the outside world, he, Lin An, is cold, ruthless, and even cruel.
But Lin An knew that he was still a person.
"Maybe this is the answer..."
"Maybe the reason for not running away is that I want to feel better..."
Waiting for the last moment of system connection, Lin An no longer thought about what was waiting for him, nor how difficult it would be.
He actually didn't tell Zhang Tie the true meaning of the rule fragments he left behind.
He also did not say the real reason why he agreed with Huang Haitao's opinion.
He had actually prepared for the worst.
If he doesn't come back, Klein will open the dungeon and let everyone survive.
Those fragments are the last goodwill he left to mankind.
It doesn’t matter who gets it.
He Lin'an will not escape, but he will not prevent others from escaping.
