Chapter 10: Questioning
Fire often represents civilization, especially in the end of human civilization. Those mutants will not make fire. In fact, they are a little afraid of flames, so only humans can use fire in this world.
After discovering the flame, Ochi immediately extended his mental power scan. Sure enough, below was a gathering place for humans. It was not big, but a small village. There may be about four or five hundred people in total. This gathering place was built with a wooden wall. Even at 11 or 2 o'clock in the evening, more than a dozen people holding guns patrolling behind the wall. The flame was sent out from a few wooden houses in this village.
When they met this gathering place, everyone was very excited, even Chu Hao was like this. Although they had only entered this world for a day and a night, they had seen more desolation, more ruins, and more mutants. Not to mention Chu Hao, the rest of them also felt that loneliness in their hearts. They really wanted to meet humans.
Chu Hao immediately landed the hot air balloon, and in order to avoid misunderstandings, Chu Hao even fired a signal flare with a signal gun. Of course, it may attract mutants. However, on the one hand, it is already deep in the mountains, and on the other hand, the North Bingzhou team is not afraid of mutants. As long as the number is not that overwhelming, it will not take much effort to cook.
Sure enough, after seeing the signal flare, the entire gathering place was boiling. First, the guards shouted, and then a large number of people ran out of the wooden house. They all looked up at the simple hot air balloon. A small number of people cheered, while most of them had complicated expressions. These people did not shoot, but they were completely different from the ecstasy they imagined.
Soon, the hot air balloon landed outside the gathering wooden wall, and everyone walked out of the hot air balloon, led by Chu Hao to the outside of the wooden wall, and the people inside opened a small window from the wooden wall. A guard in the lead signaled everyone to approach the face, and he saw that he used a scanning instrument to scan the eyes of everyone. Then the people inside seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and many people looked around from the wooden wall, until then, the wooden wall opened a small door, and Chu Hao and others entered.
In this wooden wall, except for many babies or children who were born, almost all humans had already appeared there. Most of them looked at Chu Hao and the others curiously, and a small number of them were heavy-faced and did not say a word.
After Chu Hao and the others entered, about a few elderly men and women led them to the largest wooden house at the gathering site, and behind everyone, several gunmen followed, which obviously also had the meaning of surveillance. However, Chu Hao and others didn't care about these things at all, so they followed them all the way and went directly to this wooden house.
In this wooden house, there are only simple tables and chairs. It is obvious that this place is probably the meeting hall or office space where the gathering place is usually. After everyone entered, an old man in the gathering place pointed to the chair and let everyone sit. Several people next to him took out cold water, just ordinary water, and there was no drink like tea, and then there was a long period of silence.
After a long time, the old man in the lead asked, "I wonder where you come from? And why do you have hot air balloons?"
Everyone looked at Chu Hao, and Chu Hao was not polite and said directly: "We are a member of the Secret Military Region Research Institute of the 51th District of the United States. This is my last team member, and the civilians rescued on the way. I am Major General Chu Hao, this is Lieutenant Colonel Zhang Heng, Lieutenant Colonel Nian Xikong, and Major Aoqi."
Suddenly, the leaders of the gathering sites were moved. The old man asked with trembling hands: "Government, is the government still there? Didn't it besieged and annihilated by mutants a few years ago? At that time, the last government army was completely disintegrated. Is the government still there?"
A few years ago, the siege...
Chu Hao wrote down these words, his expression remained unmoved, and continued: "I'm sorry, our research institute in District 51 lost contact with the government earlier. In fact, many of my team members have become mutants. We are the last survivors. We have been trapped in the laboratory before. Until most of the mutants in District 51 have moved away, we took the opportunity to escape. So unfortunately, we don't know if the government still exists."
Suddenly, the old men sighed, and at this moment, a strong man suddenly rushed in from outside the wooden house, and several people were snatching him behind him. The man came in and shouted: "It was you researchers! It was because of you that you have developed this virus, and it was because of you that caused these mutants to appear! Everything is your fault! You murderers, you demons!"
While speaking, the man was very excited, and he had a huge wooden stick in his hand, as if he was planning to perform a full martial arts campaign. When everyone in the North Bingzhou team was at a loss, suddenly, Chu Hao bounced up quickly and jumped directly to the man. He slapped him on the wall of the wooden house and actually knocked him out with a slap.
This incident was so sudden that everyone was still a little stunned. In an instant, the guards raised their guns and pointed them at Chu Hao, as if they would shoot him immediately as long as he dared to use another move.
"Are we planning to develop this virus??"
But unexpectedly, Chu Hao, who was originally calm, seemed to be suffering great grievances, his face was red and his eyes were blood red. He roared loudly: "The original purpose of researching this virus was to treat cancer, which is the same as we developed penicillin and aspirin! We just want to make the world better, we just want to treat all diseases. Could it be that we should do nothing and let human civilization continue to be in the Stone Age? "
At this time, hundreds of people had gathered outside the wooden house, and almost everyone gathered here, because when Chu Hao said that they were government researchers before, the guards outside had already spread these words, and these people came from hearing the sound. When the strong man seemed to be planning to vent his anger, everyone was vaguely hostile to these researchers. In fact, in these people's minds, the reason why the world became like this was the fault of these researchers.
"You are enjoying penicillin, you are enjoying antibiotics, you are enjoying planes, cars, you are enjoying computers, TVs, you are enjoying lights and lights. Have you ever thought that all of these were invented by researchers like us!?"
Chu Hao was not afraid either. He pushed the wooden house away and faced the hundreds of people. He didn't care that there was still gun pointing at him. He seemed to be greatly wronged, and even with tears in his eyes, he just yelled loudly.
Under Chu Hao's roar, most of these people were silent, and a small number of middle-aged people seemed to be unwilling to accept it. They probably had their relatives died in this catastrophe or turned into mutants. An middle-aged woman immediately shouted: "But if it weren't for you, there would be this catastrophe there!? It was because of you that God brought down this catastrophe to punish us. It was your fault!"
"Does we want to mutate the virus??"
Chu Hao suddenly glared at the middle-aged woman, and he shouted loudly: "According to what you say, is the patient sick? The doctor doesn't care about it at all, because as long as the virus mutates, it is the doctor's fault! According to your statement, shouldn't you develop technology, shouldn't invent all kinds of things, so that we can all become monkeys and primitive talents!? It's also wrong for us to develop technology, and it's also wrong for us to study all kinds of things that benefit the public. I want to ask everyone here, you touch your chest and your conscience and answer me, you
We can complain to us all the faults, believing that we have caused this catastrophe, so we were originally intended to benefit the whole world, originally intended to treat cancer, and originally used all our efforts to produce fatal mutations. Then we... researchers like us, even if we reach the end of the world, even if we reach the catastrophe, or even if we start to mutate ourselves, are still doing our last efforts and still insisting on fighting on the frontline, who should we, researchers, complain to! Answer me!!!”
After these words, even the middle-aged woman was silent. The whole scene was completely silent. The guards had already put down their guns without realizing it, and the eyes of Chu Hao were looking at Chu Hao with a hint of respect.
In fact, this principle is very simple. In this catastrophe, no one is intentional, no one is a criminal. It is just because the virus mutates. This is actually the fault of nature, nor can it be said that it is the fault of nature. This is actually the survival of the fittest. The reason why these people complain about researchers is that they want to give their hatred a sustenance, otherwise they will lose the meaning of life. It is so simple.
At this time, after Chu Hao entrusted the last illusion to awaken, almost no one could refute the truth. Yes, even if the person who created the virus had a good intention, she was not wrong and could not blame the person because of the mutated virus. This is unfair.
"My team, my companion, had more than 400 people at the beginning. In order to study this virus, more than 300 of them were infected one after another. But even if they were to mutate, they were all conducting their last experiment. I don't think my companion needs to be criticized like this! So I was excited, sorry, but I did not do anything wrong. He just fell into a coma. When he woke up, if he still thought so, I would attack him! I can tell you this way, my companion and my research team, who have already sacrificed, they are not only criminals, not only murderers, but also heroes!"
When Chu Hao said this, he almost said to these people excitedly: "Because, at the end! We have developed the understanding of medicine! Only the last point is missing. Once the last point is completed, we will be able to turn mutants back into humans!"
"This is the sacrifice of the heroes! They will definitely not allow the defilement of men like this!"
In an instant, when the word "anti-drug" was released, the whole scene was silent, and all the people were stunned...
Chapter completed!
