Chapter 1784 Evil and More Evil Choices
"Bloody Ten Years" was the most turbulent and unbearable day after Dragon City crossed.
Most people, when recalling the magnificent and impassioned journey of the past half century, will have a tacit understanding or even subconsciously ignore this period of history.
As for how to get out of the "Bloody Decade", it is often said that "with the completion of the construction of the Transcendent Tower, the unremitting efforts of the Survival Committee, and the sacrifices of the Transcendents, Dragon City finally ushered in the long-lost peace and order." , this kind of oversimplified statement is simply taken away.
The former Meng Chao, like the vast majority of ordinary citizens, firmly believed in this simple and clear statement of good and evil.
But as his realm gradually improved, he was qualified to step into the middle and upper levels of the Chaofan Pagoda, exposed to a large amount of secret information, and entered the room, becoming the true disciple of the "God of War" Lei Zongchao who experienced it. All the childish and ridiculous concepts in the past gradually disappeared. Replaced by the truth that is difficult to distinguish between good and evil, and chaotic.
Survival is never easy.
The so-called justice, morality, and law are neither a prerequisite nor a necessity for survival.
"It seems that you are very aware of the important role that the Blood Alliance will play in the history of Dragon City."
Lu Zhongqi continued, "Although the official statement is, 'With the completion of the Transcendent Tower, order has gradually been restored in Dragon City', you and I both know that this is just a lie to deceive common people and foolish men and women.
"The Transcendent Tower piercing into the sky, regardless of its height or scale, exceeds the largest single building on the earth. Regardless of its technical content or engineering volume, it is not a doomsday city still struggling in chaos and disorder. of.
"To build the Transcendent Tower, there needs to be a great civilization based on order, where all individuals obey a unified will, and dare to sacrifice for the survival of the entire civilization.
"And under the circumstances at that time, such a great civilization could neither come from the good wishes of the people, nor could it come from the insignificant efforts of a self-proclaimed righteous person like you, but could only come from the blood alliance. The evil organization used iron and blood to force people to forge.
"Don't think I'm scaremongering.
"In a world like yours after the reconstruction of order, the new generation born has no idea what 'order is broken and lawlessness' is.
"You can't even imagine that when we are separated from our splendid civilization home planet by hundreds of millions of stars, and the laws and morals that bind us all disintegrate in an instant, and after the smoke disappears, how quickly human beings can turn into heads. A monster in human skin.
"No, it's not just those powerful people who have weapons and resources.
"It's that everyone, everyone who wants to live, forgets everything about the Earth era as quickly as possible, forgets the pride and dignity of the people on Earth, forgets the peace, order, and laws of the past. The days that are taken for granted suddenly awakened tens of thousands of years ago, hundreds of thousands of years ago, when the first civilization did not exist, the instinct of human beings as "horrible erect apes" was awakened.
"It's not easy to turn tens of thousands of horrific upright apes back into well-behaved humans, and put the shackles of 'law, morality, and humanity' around their necks!
"Many times, for those rulers who want to rebuild order and save Dragon City, there is simply no one right option and one wrong option, one righteous option and one evil option, let him do multiple-choice questions.
"He can only choose between being wrong and being more wrong, being evil and being more evil, trampling on humanity and destroying humanity.
"Give a few simple examples, and you will know.
"Suppose you were the ruler of a certain block in Dragon City at that time, and you found that there was an old man in your jurisdiction who was running out of time, who hid a tin of canned beef and two children who were starving to death.
"Do you choose to ignore the rights of private property, and even kill this old man who is willing to defend the canned beef with his life, so that the two children can live temporarily, or choose to respect the rights of the old man, and watch the two children starve to death?
"What if instead of two children, there are two strong men with disheveled faces?
"One can of beef can temporarily restore some strength to the two strong men. If you follow you to rob the neighborhood, you may be able to grab more food and let more people in your neighborhood survive.
"The price is, before you come back from the robbery, the original owner of the canned beef, the old man who did nothing wrong, will definitely starve to death.
"Meng Chao, tell me, how would you choose?
"Don't say you don't choose such nonsense, those guys who refuse to choose are all cowards who shirk their responsibilities!
"What if, huh, what if it's not canned beef, but the old man's own meat?
"What if only by eating the old man's flesh can you and your brothers have enough strength to go out to loot or resist looting and defend your homeland?
"If eating just one old man can't solve the problem, how about eating more?
"At the time, it was just the easiest and most commonplace option.
"Also, you know the flood was still raging, right?
"Because of the changes in terrain and landforms caused by the crossing of the Dragon City, the Chilong River and the Hunu River are like two hungry and tyrannical dragons, constantly rolling in the Dragon City, causing countless ruins and people living in the ruins to suffer from floods. torture.
"If you want to resist floods, you need to build dikes, dig reservoirs and canals, and build all kinds of water conservancy facilities.
"And when most of the automated construction machinery is destroyed, all kinds of heavy earthwork operations can only be completed by manpower.
"It is conceivable that in that era when resources were extremely scarce and most people were hungry all day long, no one would be willing to fight the impossible battle against the flood.
"Until there is no authoritative official organization that can come up with enough resources to allow everyone to volunteer, only an evil organization like the Blood League can use violence, cruelty, and inhumane violence to threaten and force people to do it. The things that must be done to sacrifice oneself, to create the future.
"No, that's not all the Blood League does.
"Apart from floods, the biggest threat at that time was viruses, ancient viruses that could turn humans into zombies.
"The chaotic environment, the broken order, and the lack of resources determined that the people at that time had no way to accurately target the infected.
"As long as a person infected with the zombie virus appears in a building, the terrible plague will soon explode exponentially.
"There is only one way to eliminate the zombies, and that is to seal and purify the entire building—along with the healthy uninfected people inside!
"If you think that doing this is wrong, immoral, extremely evil, inhumane, sinful, and inferior to animals.
"Then, Meng Chao, please tell me, what should the rulers at that time do, how can they do so that they don't have to bear the infamy like the Blood League, and don't have to destroy the people they saved like the Blood League?"
