Bulwark of Light

Chapter 267 Farewells (4)

The mountain road of the small barren mountain.

The wheelchair slowly rolls over the dead leaves.

Time slows down, and the glow of the setting sun stretches the shadows very long.

“I’ve always wanted to come here to see…”

The old man was sitting in a wheelchair, looking at the withered landscape on both sides of the mountain, muttered softly: “Actually, it’s not that I don’t have time.”

As the most powerful member of the metropolitan area, he is filled with various agendas 24 hours a day. Every day he closes his eyes and then opens them, there are countless trivial matters lined up. The team is waiting for it to be handled by itself… But the real reason why they didn’t come to this small barren mountain is not because of busy affairs.

It’s because of the shame in my heart.

No one in this world would understand Zhao Xilai’s mood at this moment.

He watched the trees on both sides slowly recede. This is the barren mountain tomb of an old friend. Many years ago, the two had an appointment to let Huaqi stand on the top of the world together.

After many years, we meet again.

He has white hair, and Lu Cheng is already a handful of loess.

It’s always like that.

Most things in this world can’t go as promised and can’t be as expected.

Happy when we meet, but not happy when we meet again.

After the Lions Lane murder, the Zhao family took over the Huazhi Building… There are many mysteries and opinions about Lu Cheng’s death, but in fact, only a few people can guess the real reason. .

Zhao Xilai is one of them.

“Qin Ye is dead.”

“The Intercontinental Judgment is cancelled.”

“The Tower of Origin has no knowledge of the contents of the old case file. “

Lu Nanzhi pushed the old man and walked slowly to the top of the mountain. She asked softly, “Everything seems to be over…but in fact, is that really the case?”

The bloody case in Lions Lane seems As the water recedes, the rocks appear.

But the mystery that actually hides within it remains unanswered.

At the time of escaping from the pursuit… the bronze box left by Lao Lu was destroyed, which was a good thing at the time, but looking at it now, after the bronze box was destroyed, everything in Lion Lane was destroyed. All technical information is lost.

This is a major loss.

It also made it impossible to trace the secret that Lu Nanzhi wanted to explore the most.

“I won’t go around in circles.” Madam looked at the ray of light hidden on the top of the mountain and asked earnestly, “You should know what the Lion Wake technology is… The upcoming ‘Awakening Act’ by the federal government, Was it born out of this?”

“…”

The old man was silent for a while.

“The Flower Flag Ninth Layer has been conducting related experiments… After today, your permission is enough to go in and check it out for yourself.”

The lady was startled.

What does this mean?

This is to give yourself the authority of Huaqi?

Zhao Xilai was just laughed and continued: “Whether you are believing or not, in fact, I only don’t know Lao Lu’s lion awakening technique, I only know that this is the lifelong effort of a genius, and it is also Eastern Continent’s biggest regret. , before it came out, it was stillborn. And it has been several years since Huazhi received the awakening technology handed over by the federal government… After this project is handed over to Tsukagi and the professional research group, what we can do , is to invest money, and wait for the results.”

Now, he has nothing to lie and hide.

This is also the reason why, against the odds, the Awakening Act is also being implemented in the Eastern Continent region.

“On the implementation and preparation of the bill, Huaqi has invested too much financial resources… This is the guidance and warning given by [Deep Sea] to the collapse of the five continents, and it also weighs on the future destiny of all mankind. As you can see, the number of black spots appearing in the five continents is increasing, and the speed is getting faster and faster, this is because of the proliferation of a large number of free supernatural essences.”

He coughed in a low voice, Zhao Xilai said: “If the awakening can be controlled, then it means that…the extraordinary source essence will be absorbed in large quantities.”

“Then…human social civilization will be pushed to an unpredictable situation. .” Lu Nanzhi calmly retorted: “Once it starts, there is no turning back.”

The old man shrugged, saying: “If the bill passes the review of the parliament, it will be controlled in a controlled manner before it is officially promulgated. We will build a fault-tolerant closed-loop ecological system … and then control the survivors to gradually awaken in this ecological environment. [Deep Sea] needs further data to calculate and speculate that the overall human society, What level of awakening is needed to deal with the danger of order collapse.”

Lu Nanzhi was completely silent.

“It’s unreasonable…it’s crazy, right?” the old man’s voice was hoarse laughed, “this is the answer we can’t think of…maybe this is the difference between the super brain and the human. It only considers the results, It is acceptable if a small part is sacrificed in order to save a larger part of the population.”

Don’t look back.

He also knew what Lu Nanzhi’s face looked like at the moment.

“For Wuzhou, Eastern Continent is a small part that can be sacrificed.”

“For Eastern Continent… there is also a small part that can be cut off.”

“The real difficulty of the so-called ‘trolley problem’ is that the number on both sides of the track is not fixed, and human beings have to go through countless choices, and the two ends of the scale are always heavy and light.”

“So…sometimes, we don’t have a choice, it’s another word.”

“Sacrificing you, what’s the point of sacrificing you?”

This is where the Awakening Act is brutal.

“It’s not accurate to use the word ‘sacrifice’, maybe it’s better to replace it with ‘change’.” Zhao Xilai laughed in a low voice, “I remember seeing it in the library a long time ago…the birth of human beings Before, there were very strong reptiles living on this land, with strong limbs, long tails, and huge bodies, and for some reason, they were all destroyed.”

Lu Nanzhi wrinkled frowned.

“What changed them… is said to be a stone that fell from the sky.”

“Sadly, they have no right to Sovereign their own destiny, nor to refuse the arrival of that stone. “

“Of course, these may all be just a story, not to be true, but the same thing is happening today, only we are stronger and wiser than those things.”

“That stone… we have the right to decide when and where it falls, first part, then part…”

Zhao Xilai muttered softly: “Although this stone falls It will be ugly, but at least, we can escape the fate of ‘genocide’.”

Speaking of this.

He asked seriously: “So…after hearing this, are you still firmly opposed to the Awakening Act?”

“Yes.”

Lu Nan Zhi didn’t hesitate.

She uttered the words on the alternative ceremony.

“I… object.”

“Why?” the old man lightly sighed.

He couldn’t understand that the descendant he admired the most was so hesitant and sympathetic when faced with the decision of the fate of this community. Does this mean that he didn’t want someone to sacrifice?

“It’s very simple.”

Lu Nanzhi calmly said: “I think the stone hanging over the head of human destiny…is the lie of the [Deep Sea].”

“It’s very simple.”
