Time passed quietly while waiting. During this period, He Wei left this base in the desert and under military martial law, and went to the center to coordinate with those who could not come to participate in this "sociological experiment" but also had Hag.1 Genes are temporarily used as "bait" for people's surveillance and protection work.

Lu Qingliang also returned to the headquarters. While leading the work of protecting the human gene bank data, he also continued to handle other daily matters.

Only Zhang Dingshan is still waiting here, dealing with the affairs of the sociology experimental base while waiting for certain changes that may come.

These three people at least still have something to do. Compared with these three people, Lu Ming is completely free. In other words, it is his job to survive safely under heavy protection.

Waiting is always excruciating. Especially if you don’t know how long you’ll have to wait. Even Lu Ming sometimes thought that maybe he would never be able to return to a normal social environment in his life, and he would never be able to see his parents and relatives again in his life.

At this time, the hatred towards Organization

It's another early morning. On this day, Lu Ming still got up early, had breakfast casually, and then came to the open space in front of the field hospital. He sat casually on the ground and stared at the long yellow sand in the distance in a daze.

In the desert in the early morning, the sun is not too dazzling and the temperature is not too high. He just sat like this, not knowing what he was thinking.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, but he did not look back. He didn't bother to see who it was.

The man finally sat down next to him.

It's Zhang Dingshan.

"homesick?"

Lu Ming said nothing.

"The world we live in is like this, and there is a lot of helplessness. I know you are innocent, and you could have had a normal and happy life, but... the world is like this. Don't be too pessimistic, don't put too much pressure, there will always be hope. .”

Zhang Dingshan seemed to be comforting himself.

Although this comfort did not have any effect, Lu Ming still said thank you.

"Don't overwhelm yourself. Think more about good things. At least you are still alive, no..."

Zhang Dingshan suddenly closed his mouth.

Lu Ming was a little surprised, so he turned his head and looked at him. Then he saw that Zhang Dingshan's expression was full of solemnity under the nascent morning sun. He looked straight ahead somewhere and seemed to see something.

"伱......"

"Look over there."

Zhang Dingshan said in a low voice. Lu Ming subconsciously looked in the direction he was looking, and was stunned there for a moment.

"Why?"

He saw three big blood-red characters. Those three big blood-red characters were printed on the horizon, blending into the blue sky. It seemed that at this moment, the gods high above the nine heavens were silently questioning them.

Lu Ming's heart beat loudly, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Blue sky, rising sun, yellow sand, everything is so normal. If it weren't for these three big blood-red characters.

But with the addition of these three big characters, the world was suddenly filled with a strange and sinister atmosphere.

I don’t know how long it took, whether it was an instant or an hour, the three big blood-red characters slowly faded, and a new line of big blood-red characters appeared with the sky as the background.

"We were fine."

"We guarantee that that explosion was just an accident and will never happen again."

"Hundreds of thousands of people die every day in the human world."

"Deaths caused by drug abuse, murder, disappearance, disease, hunger, vendetta, war, car accidents, accidents and other reasons account for the vast majority."

"We only take away no more than 100 people on average every year. Compared to your death toll, it is insignificant."

"Your sociological experiments and large-scale surveys consume a lot of money."

"Putting that money towards the rest could save well over 100 lives a year."

"why not?"

"Go back to the past and continue to live in peace and harmony."

"Lu Ming is no longer our target."

The last line of red characters slowly disappeared, and no new words appeared.

When the words "Lu Ming is no longer our target" appeared, Lu Ming began to tremble all over. At this moment, he remembered many things. He thought of his mother's hand-made noodles, of the wine his father had collected, of his sister who he had grown up with, of amusement parks, schools, cinemas, restaurants, and many other things.

These things have one thing in common, that is, they are all under the sun, and they can enjoy and live without any worries, without worrying about any explicit or implicit threats.

At this moment, Lu Ming felt that these words presented in large blood-red characters made sense.

Yeah...why not?

Instead of worrying about less than 100 people disappearing every year, why not put energy and resources into more people?

why not?

Aren’t there many unsolved cases in Division 13 of the Planetary Security Agency? Aren’t there many cases that cannot be investigated at all? Didn't Zhang Dingshan and the others also say that it was normal for a case to become unsolved? Even before they came up with the idea of ​​"gene", when they were at their wits' end and the case never made progress, didn't they themselves ever think of giving up? ?

So... why not give up?

Just give up and let it remain an unsolved case. I don't care how many people go missing every year. I don't care about the rest. I just know that they are no longer targeting me. I can live a normal life. I I can see my parents and relatives again, I can walk in the sunshine again, and do the things that I always found annoying in the past...

"He, what he said is right and makes sense, right?"

Lu Ming trembled and asked Zhang Dingshan this question.

Zhang Dingshan looked at Lu Ming calmly, without any emotion in his expression.

"Do you think what he said is right?"

Lu Ming trembled and nodded vigorously.

Zhang Dingshan shook his head, his tone as calm as ever, but behind the calmness was an unshakable determination.

"What he said is wrong. This case will continue to be investigated. Unless it is really unthinkable, it will not become an unsolved case."

"Why!"

Lu Ming suddenly stood up, his face even distorted: "You have spent so many resources! You have spent so much money! This money can save a thousand people, ten thousand people! Tens of millions of people die every year in the world, A hundred missing people are nothing!”

Zhang Dingshan sighed: "It's different."

"What's different!"

"If a powerful alien civilization comes to our earth and declares that as long as mankind sacrifices an innocent person for them to kill, they will spare all mankind, otherwise they will destroy the world. In this case, you What do you think our civilization should do?”

"of course……"

Lu Ming blurted out subconsciously, but after only saying three words, he suddenly closed his mouth.

"The correct approach is to resist with all your might. Shoot every missile and launch every nuclear bomb. Every soldier should fight back and burn every bullet in his hand. Even if human beings fight until The last person will never give in."

Lu Ming was silent.

"Because they are trampling on our rules..." Zhang Dingshan sighed silently: "We don't care about morality, only about interests. From the perspective of interests, this behavior of alien civilizations itself proves that they are not trustworthy. .Since they flout our rules, how can you guarantee that they will abide by their promises after we surrender? The most likely scenario is that after sacrificing one innocent person, the alien civilization in turn demands the sacrifice of 10,000. 100 million people. At that time, should we continue to give in without a bottom line, or should we rise up and fight?"

"Will you try again at that time? But don't forget that from the beginning, when the human world first surrendered, it has forever lost the possibility of fighting in the subsequent process. Therefore, even from the perspective of interests, in the end, The right choice is always to never give in and to resist."

Lu Ming murmured: "But many times, even we ourselves trample our own rules."

Zhang Dingshan smiled slightly: "That's true. But, Lu Ming, you have to understand that there is a difference between working hard but not being able to do it for the time being, and not doing it at all."

He patted Lu Ming's shoulder lightly: "One hundred people, ten thousand people? That's not how the accounts are calculated."

Lu Ming suddenly remembered a point of view that had many fans in a certain period.

It is useless to develop aerospace, so it is better to use the money to improve people's livelihood.

At that time, he also scoffed at this view and did not even bother to refute it. But now, he found that when the matter involved himself, he actually fell into this view.

"Sorry, I was wrong. I...we really shouldn't compromise with X."

Zhang Dingshan continued to have a smile on his face: "I'm very happy that you can think clearly. So, now you might as well think about it, what is the purpose of Organization X doing this?"

"Of course you're warning us... no! Captain, let's get out of here! Since Organization X can warn us in such a magical way, it means they are also capable of killing us here! It's not safe here!"

Lu Ming's heart was beating violently and he was full of nervousness.

This is both a threat and a warning. The purpose is to make oneself surrender.

"Don't worry, it's okay."

Zhang Dingshan shook his head and signaled Lu Ming to calm down: "It's just a little trick. It's nothing more than using a special directional laser to hit the light signal directly on our eyeballs to create words appearing in the sky. Although we humans haven't done this yet. It's a technology, but I've seen it elsewhere before. If you don't believe it, ask others, no one except us can see these words."

Lu Ming suddenly turned around and saw that the rest of the staff were still doing their own things, seemingly unaware of the previous changes.
