After being missed by the villain in quick time travel

Chapter 189 Doomsday Traveler (58)

base.

After a week of firearms training, Li Xiangqiu, Gao Rui, Yao Ze and others who passed the firearms assessment can finally return to their homes on the lower three floors.

And about tomorrow's trip to the forest and the recent change of the base, it became a topic of discussion at the family dinner table.

"Are you going outside tomorrow?"

Gao Rui's father put down the book in his hand, took off the glasses hanging on the bridge of his nose, and wanted to open his mouth to say something, looked at the bracelet, stopped again, and was about to take the paper caught in the book and the clothes pocket pen.

Gao Rui opened his mouth one step ahead of his father's actions.

"Dad, I know what you want to say. When the matter has come to this point, you don't need to persuade me anymore. Although our family can live here now and enjoy the S-level treatment, but in case something happens, I don't want to eat my mother's hand." Cooking a meal becomes a luxury."

Father Gao paused, knowing what his son was talking about.

As a senior mechanical engineer in the old days and a young expert in mechanical design, manufacturing and automation, he has taught other young people in the base what he has learned in the past 20 years.

But as the saying goes, if the apprentice starves to death, the master, among his students, there are many people who come from behind, so he is no longer valuable to the base.

Although Gao Rui is also one of the students, he is not the most outstanding, otherwise he would not want to join the Security Bureau to show his loyalty.

Over the years, many people have been forced to move away from the negative 31st floor due to various reasons.

Although those reasons seem reasonable, after careful consideration, it will be found that all of these people have lost their irreplaceable value.

Seeing that old faces in the community are disappearing and new faces are increasing day by day, although no one in the family talks about it, it doesn't mean that the sword of Damocles is not hanging in their hearts.

If the base wants to find a reason to take back everything that their family has, they have nothing to do.

Gao's mother, who had just brought the dishes out of the kitchen, stopped when she heard the discussion between the father and son.

Looking at the father and son who looked at each other silently, a smile appeared on her worried face, and she walked up to the two with the dishes, pretending to be relaxed and saying:

"It's been a long time since I've eaten the dishes made by my mother, right? It took a lot of contribution points, and thanks to the relationship with the butcher shop in the supermarket, the ribs were specially reserved for me. You guys have to try them!"

When Gao's mother brought the dishes to the table one by one, the whole family sat at the dining table. Gao Rui remembered the recent changes in the base and looked at his father.

"Dad, do you think the base will be reformed? It will be restored to the old days? Recently I found out..."

"Gao Rui, shut up!"

Before Gao Rui finished speaking, Gao's father patted the table hard, trying to cover up his son's words.

Not wanting to worry his father, Gao Rui had no choice but to stop talking.

The family of three at the dinner table fell silent.

In the past, Gao's father almost participated in the protest reform launched by the base's high-level executive Xia Nan. In the end, he didn't go because of sudden physical discomfort.

Seeing that the most important founder of the base had completely disappeared from the public view and was nailed to the shame pillar of the history of the base, Father Gao remembered what an uncle Ai said when he was on the way to the base: Although it is already very bad now , but the future may only get worse.

Regarding this kind of arbitrary and pessimistic argument, Gao's father can only regard the other party as PTSD who has experienced the apocalypse.

He had seen a lot of lunatics while fleeing all the way, so he didn't bother to find out why the other party said that.

After all, no one wants to think that they are already in hell, and they are told that this is only the first floor, and there are eighteen floors below, and they are not interested in continuing to understand, what is there for the remaining seventeen floors.

Fortunately, the other party didn't want to explain in detail that he had to convince himself, otherwise Father Gao couldn't be sure if he wanted to stuff the other party's mouth with smelly socks.

Gao's father's thoughts gradually drifted away, and those memories that he thought had been blurred gradually became clear at this moment.

At that time, like the surviving goods, they were loaded in containers transformed with lead plates, and the fear and anxiety of the unknown and death hung over everyone like a cloud.

Everyone's expressions were numb. In addition to the turbid and unpleasant smell in the air, there was also depression and hopelessness that could not be dispelled.

Through the faint light, he saw Uncle Ai patting his granddaughter's back and coaxing her to sleep again.

"Children have morality when they are six months old. Psychological experiments have proved that at that time they will show the characteristics of being kind to their own people and indifferent to those who are different from them. But most of them prefer good people. But once the bad guy likes the same food as them, many babies choose the bad guy over the good guy."

"In the warring parties of World War II in the last century, many soldiers didn't want to kill people and didn't like war, but they could only take up arms for their comrades and the country, proving that human nature is inherently evil, and everyone lives in a mental state. Ah, the pure Milgram experiment, the 65% of the people who obeyed the authority and pressed the electric shock device, in fact, half of them later said that they did not believe that the electric shock device would shock people, and they believed that they did it by pressing the electric shock device things that contribute to medical research.”

At first, Father Gao thought it was Uncle Ai who was muttering to himself.

After all, few people were in a normal spirit at that time, and abnormality was the norm. In order to break the dullness in the container, he started chatting casually.

"Then explain to me, what happened to those people who knew they could be electrocuted and then pressed the switch?"

Following Father Gao's words, in the dark container, a pair of dead eyes showed rare emotions. Obviously, the owners of these eyes were also interested in the answer to this question.

But of course they are not interested in how the civilized people of the last century became butchers who committed crimes against humanity and genocide.

Rather, they wonder why anyone would push the button to launch a nuke?

Uncle Ai first explained the nuclear bomb system. Before that, most of them did not know that the global nuclear bomb system is automatically linked.

Once the nuke button is pressed, it is by no means a nuke.

When it comes to the need to use nuclear weapons, how can you give the enemy a chance to retaliate?
Countries that are about to be destroyed, they have the power to press the nuclear button, and there is no time to react.

In order to deal with this ending where they can only passively watch themselves being destroyed, everyone has set up a counterattack system. Once the detection network detects that a nuclear bomb is coming towards them, their nuclear weapons will also be activated immediately, and they will be destroyed according to the previous plan. The set trajectory is launched.

And these pre-set destinations, there are many innocent nuclear-armed countries, and they also have the same system.

Thus, a nuclear melee began.

"It's like a group of blindfolded people holding guns but with poor hearing. They sit at a round table and drink and eat happily. They know that each other has guns in their hands, so they only occasionally do some harmless little things. Once a lunatic appeared among them and shot the people on the table, "

"The blindfolded man who was shot badly wanted to get back for revenge. He had no choice but to shoot everyone while he was still alive. Others happened to have the same idea as him, and then the table was completely flipped. Unfortunately, we Just met a madman."

After listening to Uncle Ai's explanation, Father Gao no longer regarded him as an ordinary uncle. He knew that the other party might have received a good education in the past just like him.

"Then why did that lunatic appear?" Father Gao asked.

Originally, if it was just the out-of-control of biological and chemical weapons, the impact would not be so wide, but the out-of-control of nuclear weapons would completely destroy the civilization built by human beings in just one day.

"Because he is a lunatic, and a lunatic's brain is always different from a normal person."

"Why can a lunatic be the one who presses the button? Holds the highest power in a country?" Father Gao was a little excited, and under this excitement was full of puzzlement and anger.

His voice was a little louder, which disturbed the little girl in Uncle Ai's arms. In order to let the little girl continue to sleep, Uncle Ai didn't answer immediately. He didn't speak again until the little girl fell asleep again.

"What do you think made him crazy?"

As soon as Uncle Ai spoke, the little girl in his arms woke up again, so Uncle Ai stopped talking.

A month later, they arrived at the base, but they hadn't assigned a floor yet. Everyone was on the top floor of the base. Thinking of this topic again, Father Gao took the initiative to talk to each other again.

"Uncle Ai, do you think power makes people crazy, and then you press that button?"

Uncle Ai reacted slowly at first, and then slowly replied: "It's sort of."

"It's almost human instinct to be xenophobic and like things you are familiar with. If there is no legal constraint, even in the face of big right and wrong, many people don't mind helping their murderer's relatives escape from life, because sharing a tragic death with a stranger The intensity of the emotion is far less than the panic and helplessness of a relative or friend who does not want to step on the sewing machine and suffers a free euthanasia, and the resonance generated is so strong."

Gao's father didn't understand why the topic came to the murderer, but he still listened to the other party.

"This is the mediocre evil hidden in our human nature, but there is also a more terrifying acquired evil, which can turn good people into bad people, and that is power. The more powerful a person is, the smaller the mirror effect in his brain will be. , these people seem to have lost connection with us ordinary people, and they are likely to form an acquired anti-social personality, do not care about others, have no compassion, and are self-centered... At this time, no matter what other people do, it is difficult to have a relationship with him resonance."

"And that kind of behavior is usually only seen in people with brain damage, so power is, in a sense, a very brain-damaging thing, especially when it's unchecked. "

After listening to Uncle Ai's words, Father Gao remained silent for a long time. He didn't know if the other party was serious, or if he was seriously scolding the lunatic who pressed the nuclear button.

Later, he heard that the other party did not report his skills to the base, but only said that he was an anthropologist, and the person with him seemed to be some kind of literary researcher. Although they were marked as identities, they did not receive preferential treatment.

But on the way to the base, they also talked about mechatronics and mechanical design and manufacturing. The depth and details of the other party's chats were not just superficial.

At that time, he wanted to persuade the other party to report his skills and talents to the base.

But Uncle Ai gestured with his chin that he was giving a speech. At that time, the power holders of the major bases, who were still exuding universal brilliance, looked around at the few people eagerly watching, with hope ignited in their eyes, and even knelt down to express their gratitude. Thanks man.

"They will bring hope to people in this catastrophe of destruction. Times have created heroes, and their responsibilities to the future of mankind will be fully reflected in them. They will become leaders admired by everyone, and they will soon go to God. Altars, but some of them will decay quickly, so I won't participate in this round."

"Do you think history will repeat itself? But now is the time when people need hope! They have the ability to help everyone survive the end times, so what's wrong with them standing on the altar and being admired by others?"

Father Gao didn't believe that after such a catastrophe, people would not learn the lesson.

"I don't know, but people have stood on the altar for a long time, how many of them do you think are human, willing to let go of the power of God?"

At that time, Father Gao only thought that the other party was pessimistic and wanted to continue persuading her, but the little girl who had already learned to walk and talk held her grandfather's hand.

"Grandpa, I want to go to other places to see, this box is bigger than the box we stayed in before."

"Okay, Lingling, where do you want to go? Grandpa will take you there now."

"I'll go and see if there is a bigger box. Grandpa, is the world and universe you mentioned also a big box? Bigger than this box?"

In this way, Uncle Ai took his granddaughter and left the crowd listening to the speech, completely ignoring other people's eyes.

That was also the last time they saw each other.

But when he saw that everything was developing as the other party said, Father Gao had to admit that Uncle Ai was right.

Now that I think about the answer of the other party at that time, it is not to avoid my own hope, but to watch everything slowly go away on another road.

Father Gao thought of many chats with this Uncle Ai.

At that time, Father Gao felt that the operation of the human nuclear bomb system was simply darker than the law of the dark forest. Because I was attacked, I would drag the whole world to be buried with me.

Uncle Ai didn't care about it.

Uncle Ai feels that those civilizations that hide and love to shoot cold guns are mostly at the same level of development.

As for higher-dimensional civilizations, they will not kill at will.

Because of the civilization with the characteristics of tyranny and killing, they themselves will drag their own footsteps or even go to destruction due to mutual suspicion, civil strife and other reasons.

Suddenly, Father Gao thought of the little girl named Ai Lingling with eyes as clear as Uncle Ai's but lively and energetic.

Suddenly, he really wanted to know how the other party was living with Uncle Ai and how it was now.

Looking at the son sitting in front of him, he thought that the other party actually saw Uncle Ai's granddaughter, so the orphan he and his wife adopted before the base had any requirements for raising children.

Father Gao suddenly said, "Is there anyone named Ai Lingling in the Security Bureau or among the people you train?"

Father Gao didn't think that with Uncle Ai's character, he would teach a well-behaved granddaughter. Thinking that the other party was about the same age as his son, he asked directly.

But when I asked about it, I remembered Uncle Ai's attitude. Most likely he would not let his granddaughter join the Security Bureau, and he said, "No, it's the adventurer organization. She should join the adventurer team."

"Ai Lingling? I haven't heard of it, Dad, but do you know Xia Ling?"

"Xia Ling?"

"Yes, Xia Ling, it's that Xia."

Gao Rui nodded, then pointed to the ground, and then the false information about Lingyao and Ye reached the ears of Gao's father and Gao's mother.

Let this middle-aged couple be surprised and pleasantly surprised.

Suddenly, everyone became interested in the news about the base reform that his son wanted to say but was interrupted by Gao's father.
