Alien Relic Hunter.

Chapter 893 The Earth Ark 1000 years ago, selfish people, and, right and wrong

It's a pity that in this attack, the members of the rebel organization who sneaked into the factory only killed some ordinary workers. As for the senior engineers who were like babies, except for one whose leg was scratched by a stray bullet, there was no loss.

As for the identity of the attacker, it was quickly investigated. The leader was a former mercenary named Prince.This person once served in the US Special Forces "Navy Seals". After retiring, he formed a mercenary group called "Shadow Force" with his comrades.This mercenary group is secretly funded by the U.S. ZF and is active in the West Asia region. It specializes in helping the U.S. with some shady dirty work—what needs to be resolved by force, but the regular army can’t do it. The U.S. ZF will order them to do this The mercenaries will do it.These people are ruthless and have no scruples... During the second energy war, more than 70.00% of the casualties of innocent civilians in West Asia were caused by these mercenaries.

But later, with the promulgation of the global armistice agreement, the jobs of these mercenaries were gone... and the ZF of the United States naturally cut off contact with them in order to whitewash itself-the ZF of the United States no longer provided funding for these mercenaries, and refused Admit that everything they do is related to ZF...

For the ZF of the United States, this is a normal thing, but for these abandoned mercenaries, they suddenly become lonely ghosts wandering in foreign lands...

Because of the indiscriminate killing of innocent people during the war, after losing the protection of the US ZF, these people were held legally accountable. They could not even go back to their home countries, and could only hide in the backcountry of those small countries in West Asia to survive. Beware of reprisals from the local populace.

These people have been fighting for the first half of their lives. Without war, they would lose the means of making a living... For these mercenaries, peace is the most terrifying thing.

Their living standards have also plummeted. Not only have all their bank accounts been seized, weapons, ammunition, and even daily necessities and food cannot be replenished, but their names and photos have been posted on the international wanted website... These people must have already He hated his old club to the bone.

When people from the rebel organization came to the door, the two sides naturally hit it off—these former mercenaries helped the rebel organization train armed personnel, and even led the team to perform various sabotage tasks.These mercenaries are very handy in doing this kind of thing, which is much more difficult than those who only know how to demonstrate and shout slogans on the Internet.

But the irony is that they don't know that behind the rebel organizations that "hire" them, they actually include their former employers...

According to the agreement jointly issued by various countries, after the completion of Noah's Ark, only humans with the most excellent genes will be selected as "seeds", and those heads of state, dignitaries... Most of them are not on this list.

Although at the time of human life and death, the heads of state have made the decision to sacrifice themselves for others, but there are still selfish people in the upper echelons of human society... not only there are, but there are many.

While these people tried every means to stuff themselves and their relatives into the boarding list, they also secretly contacted the resistance organization, provided them with funding and convenience, and let them attack the various construction factories of the ark, and used this as a bargaining chip to criticize themselves Opponents... During the construction of the Ark, the governments of all countries seemed to work together, but in fact there was an undercurrent.

In fact, there are indeed a group of dignitaries who successfully stuffed their offspring into the list, but none of these people succeeded—because Noah’s Ark needs to be accelerated through the star gate, during this acceleration process, It will put a lot of load on the body of the occupants. Even with the protection of the dormant cabin, those with weaker physiques will not be able to survive this stage... Because of this, Noah's Ark actually still has a plan B.

"Human Seed Vault".

This human seed bank has sealed a large number of high-quality and healthy human promoted cells. If no crew member on board survives after the acceleration phase of the Ark, or if the crew members mutate their genes and bodies due to some special reasons and lose fertility, this B The plan will start.The preset program will thaw these promoted human cells, and combine them in pairs to cultivate a new batch of human beings.

Even young and healthy crew members may not be able to survive the accelerated stage of the Ark, let alone those old dignitaries... The first criterion for the selection of crew members is that they must not exceed the age of 35.

Those who have children naturally try their best to send their children to the ark, while those who have no offspring, or those whose offspring do not meet the conditions, will naturally hold the idea of ​​"since they have no chance of survival, then neither can others" To thwart the Ark Project... Even though the slogan of righteousness is shouted on the surface, in the dark, it is a steady stream of funds that are poured into the accounts of the rebel organization.

These people never thought about whether the human race would become extinct because of this. In their opinion, if their own family could not be continued, then human beings might as well be destroyed and buried with themselves.

This kind of thinking is very extreme, but I have to say that it is indeed "human nature"...

What Nieto said was not wrong..."Human nature is evil".

This kind of "evil" comes from people's survival instinct. Rather than saying it is "evil", it is more appropriate to say that it comes from selfishness-there are only so many survival resources. If you distribute them to others, you will not be able to survive. ... If you want to survive, you can only plunder other people's survival resources, or simply kill other people.

In the final analysis, the cause of most wars in human history is also because of this.

Human beings are social animals, but unlike bee colonies, there is only one will of the queen bee—every human individual will have his own thoughts, desire, greed, selfishness, violence... These negative emotions have been around since the beginning of the human mind. Buried in the dark side of human nature, a little negative emotion may be able to stimulate people's willpower, but if there are too many negative emotions, the whole person will be completely swallowed...

There is no "perfect person" in this world, and people who are called "sages" have more or less shortcomings... But even so, there are very few people who can be called "sages" in thousands of years of history And less.

More and more people believe in the saying "If people do not work for themselves, heaven and earth will destroy them"... Even if they have never heard of this proverb, they must put their own interests first when doing things .

No matter in which era, "those who harm themselves and benefit others" may be regarded as the object of "positive energy" propaganda on the surface, but behind the scenes, there may be many people who will laugh at him.

A person with a slightly better disposition is only "admired", but will not have a deep friendship with them, let alone become such a person.

Just when such thoughts fermented in Ke Lan's mind, the surrounding scene changed again.

He found himself sitting at a dining table.

On the other three sides of the dining table, sat a man, a woman and a boy who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old.

There were bowls and chopsticks in front of the three of them, but Ke Lan's front was empty.

Ke Lan looked down, and found that there were no chairs, not to mention bowls and chopsticks, and he couldn't see his own legs—in this scene, he was a transparent person, a "spectator" who was completely outside the scene.

There is a paper calendar hanging on the wall. From the dates on the calendar, it can be seen that the family lives in the middle of the 21st century. Judging from the dishes on the table and the interior decoration, the family is not considered wealthy, but at least they are It can be said that it is a well-off family, at least it has exceeded the food and clothing line by a large margin.

The boy seemed to have just come back from the outside, the clothes on his back were still wet, the white sweat vapor and the heat of the food curled up together, he didn't even have time to take off the protective gear on his elbow, he just wiped it with a wet towel face, and sat down at the dining table.

"The record was broken again today, with an average speed of 35 yards!" The boy said excitedly, "I feel that the special training in the past month has had an obvious effect!"

There is a bicycle helmet on the side cabinet. It is obvious that this boy is a cycling enthusiast.

"Oh." The boy's father responded without raising his head. While sipping the wine in his glass carelessly, he swiped and pulled the screen of his mobile phone. Short videos that were popular at that time were playing on the mobile phone, which was jarring. The strange laughter and dubbing of the audience came from the loudspeaker from time to time.

"On the way home today, I also helped an old man. I saw that the old man was struggling to go uphill on a tricycle, so I got off the bike and helped him push uphill... Several people were watching, but It’s just that no one came to help. After I got out of the car to help, I felt that they were all staring at me!” The boy said proudly, with a happy smile on his face, as if he was waiting for his parents’ praise.

But the father still just whispered "um", but after two seconds, he raised his head and frowned at the boy.

The boy didn't seem to understand the meaning behind his father's eyes, and continued: "After passing that slope, while waiting for the red light, the old man rode up and kept thanking me... Hehe..."

The boy was still complacent, but his father said indifferently: "That's because you are lucky."

"Good luck?" The boy froze for a moment, "What do you mean..."

"Have you ever thought about what to do if that person fell down when you were helping him push the cart?" My father said while looking at the phone, "You are lucky because you met a person today, which is reasonable." What if you meet an unreasonable person?"

"Ah?" The boy obviously didn't understand his father's words, "Why did he fall? And, even if he fell, why did I..."

"Of course it has something to do with you." The father interrupted the boy, "Because you made a move, you have to be responsible, there are not so many reasons, this is the reality. Why do you think those people just watch, but are unwilling to help? Because they are smart, but you are the stupidest."

"Is there anything wrong with being helpful?" the boy said a little unconvinced, his face flushed all of a sudden.

"It's right to help, but you have to take care of yourself first." Father took another sip of wine and said, "It's not like you don't know that everyone knows that those news and people who have been blackmailed are innocent, but is it useful? Even if everyone thinks he is right, part of the responsibility he still has to bear is because he helped others, so he has to pay the 'price' - you still remember that when we drove out the day before yesterday, a person on a battery car ran a red light and almost Just hit us?"

"……Remember."

"It was the person riding the battery car who violated the traffic rules. We did nothing wrong, but even so, if something happened, we would have to pay that person tens of thousands of dollars, do you know?" Father continued, "Our family It's not a rich family, we don't have that much money to do good things, we just need to take care of ourselves, understand?"

"But I just wanted to help..."

"Have you ever thought about what to do if you are blackmailed?" Father asked in a deep voice.

At this time, the short video in my father's hand happened to show a scene that seemed to be promoting some kind of "positive energy". Shuangwen's pretentious script, accompanied by harsh canned laughter and funny sound effects, the people in the video speak substandard Mandarin and speak the kind of "big truth" that is basically equivalent to nonsense... and in this At the dinner table of the family of three, the atmosphere became more and more stiff.

"Then the law should be amended so that those who lend a helping hand do not have to admit any responsibility, so that everyone will be willing to help others, and this society will become better and better." The boy said.

"What do you know?!" His father glared at him. "You said you want to amend the law, so you amend the law? Who do you think you are? You always think of some things too simply, but you never think about real problems. , People like you will definitely suffer a lot when they enter the society in the future!"

"If there is a mistake, it should be corrected. Everyone should understand such a simple truth!" The boy began to "talk back".

"Then you do it! You can't do it, what's the use of talking about it?!" The father's voice increased obviously, and the mother on the side saw it, and gently pulled the boy's sleeve, signaling him not to talk to his father anymore. The debate went on.

But the boy ignored his mother's dissuasion and continued: "I just can't figure out why the right thing can't be done! I don't understand!"

"These are not things we need to consider!" My father said angrily, "Do you know how hard it is for me to maintain this family? If you are not in charge of a family, you don't know how expensive it is. If you think about such illusory things all day long, you have thoughts, why don't you Study harder, get into a good university, find a good job in the future, and earn more money!"

"Study is to make money? But..."

As if knowing what the boy wanted to say, the father interrupted him again: "I repeat, those are not things you need to consider! We just need to manage ourselves! The reality is not what you imagined!"
