Chapter 130 Reverberations of the Old Era 2
"Sacrifice the infected, block the invasion of otherworldly substances into other areas, and the choice dominated by human interests is unexpectedly unanimous at the critical moment of life and death," he said.

Yu Qian was a little confused. This was completely different from her original idea, at least it had nothing to do with it. Even if she wanted to break her head, she would not have thought that so many corpses were all suicides.

He asked: "Do you think their choice was wrong? Or was it right?"

She gave him a strange look: "What does this have to do with me?"

"That's right, they don't need any evaluation." Bai said, "They never thought that the truth would be seen one day, from the time they chose to sleep underground."

Yu Qian's expression was a bit disbelieving: "Everyone? All committed suicide? No one was unwilling to object and wanted to escape? Is it true?"

Bai looked at her: "Some people objected, but the objection was invalid."

She asked disdainfully: "Isn't that still killing someone?"

"It's different," he said.

"What's the difference? Killing is killing. It's so clear that it's not all killing."

"Do you want an idealist answer or a materialist answer?"

Yu Qian glanced at him: "I don't want to hear it."

Bai turned his head: "Then what if..."

"Stop!" she interrupted, "Why do you all like to ask this kind of question? I'm really annoyed by the assumption that the person involved is me. If it were me, I wouldn't have the chance to participate in the experiment, so I wouldn't be infected."

"No." He shook his head slightly, "This alien substance is very contagious and can reproduce several times faster than bacteria and viruses. Maybe you are lying in a city thousands of miles away. I just woke up in bed and found out I was infected as soon as I opened my eyes.”

Yu Qian seemed to find it a bit funny and couldn't help laughing: "Ha, then I'm really unlucky."

"Yes, it's just such bad luck." He said, "Bad luck doesn't choose your identity, gender, or age. It comes when it comes. Death is fair."

She said nonchalantly: "Then I will commit suicide? I won't, I just want to live."

"Even if you live, you will kill more people?" Bai asked.

Yu Qian wanted to laugh: "Wouldn't that be better? Let the entire federation be destroyed. If I were infected, the first thing I would do would be to go to every office in the federal building from top to bottom to spread the source of infection."

"But what if these people include your close friends, lover, children, and parents?" He asked again.

"I didn't..." She paused, then realized that this was not talking about her, but thousands of "them".

Bai looked at her with a gentle expression: "So if your important people are still alive, do you want them to live or let them die with you?"

Yu Qian hesitated for a moment. She always felt that at the beginning of this conversation, his words seemed to contain some kind of inducement, and he seemed to want him to give some kind of answer.

But she didn’t know what kind of question or what kind of answer, so she chose to preemptively ask: “I don’t believe that everyone has family and friends, and there are no orphans?”

Bai curled his lips, as if he were watching a kid who was cheating: "Yes, but there are also selfless good people among them."

"Holy Mother?"

"You can say that."

Yu Qian chuckled: "So what? Are there no bad seeds?"

"Yes," he said, "but their opposition is ineffective. When it comes to issues related to the survival of mankind, the value of human survival is far higher than the value of these people. Under extreme conditions, the value of human life can be measured."

"And that era..." He paused before continuing, "It was very different from the current Federation. There were no gangs, no fights, not so many black areas and industries in daily life, and there were no corpses that were common in the lower city. "The vast majority of people are ordinary people, forming ordinary families and living ordinary lives. You won't step on a pool of blood just two steps outside."

Yu Qian blinked: "Just like in old movies? Old-fashioned buildings, streets and street lights? And long, slow classic cars driving on the road?"

Bai was amused by her description: "That's not a classic car, that's a bus. Forget it, you can't remember it, but it does look like the scene in the movie you've seen."

"That's pretty good." She spread her hands, "Then if that's the case, why does the Federation hide the truth about the Northern Continent? Is it because they're afraid that terrorists will know what to do with this?" "There is a reason for this." "But there are other reasons, remember what I said before, that history is covered up because it's dishonorable," he said.

Yu Qian nodded: "So?"

"So, this is a disaster that started with greed and ended with nobility." He said, "Do you want to hear it?"

Before she had time to answer, a red light lit up on the big screen in the main control room and an alarm sounded——

"The sensor door has been destroyed! The sensor door has been destroyed!"

Bai was stunned for a moment, then clicked his fingers on the keyboard a few times to call up the surveillance: "She's a little anxious. This story is a bit long. Do you want her to go first?"

In the picture, the blond woman was trying to break the locked door.

Yu Qian saw Sai Mi's mouth move a few times, and judging from the shape of his mouth, he was cursing.

"Let me speak to her."

"it is good."

Yu Qian: "You go first, I have something to deal with here."

Sammy: "What's wrong with the door being locked?"

"There is something wrong with the main control room, but the underground passage can still be accessed. You go and wait for me. I will come back after I finish handling this place."

After hearing this, Semi turned around and left without saying anything.

Yu Qian turned around and said, "Just tell me."

……

The story is neither short nor long.

The annihilation of a continent was just a matter of words. The cruelty of history was vividly displayed at this time, and future generations can only glimpse the original scene through the remaining words.

In general--

Mutated creatures were first discovered in the Northern Continent, but the substance that caused the mutation could not be detected. This was normal because it was not something that should exist in this world.

Then came research, first out of curiosity, then out of greed, because the allure of the enhancement provided by this substance was too great.

From here on, something went against Yu Qian's guess. This research was jointly participated by the Northern Continent and the Western Continent. The objections raised by the Eastern Continent caused this research to be secretly moved underground, and the research base was in the Northern Continent.

Then came the war.

One of the reasons for the war is precisely because of this research - paper cannot contain fire after all, and this alien substance cannot be controlled by humans at all.

The research was successful at first, but then it got out of control within a few months. When more and more alienated creatures and humans appeared, the war started.

Later, because the spread was too wide, alienation could no longer be stopped, and all we could do was reduce the scope.

The first to bear the brunt was the Northern Continent, where more than half of the population had been infected.

After a year-long war, the Northern Continent was unable to develop drugs to alleviate or eliminate alienation, so they gave up.

Human beings are always so complex. Sometimes they are greedy and despicable, sometimes they are selfless and great. Change is their only constant.

After the scientific researchers in the Northern Continent gave up, most of the alienated people chose to die generously and stay in their hometown forever. The non-alienated people left their hometowns and became anonymous after the observation period.

No one knows what the ordinary people who chose to give up their lives were thinking about at the last moment. Why were they alienated even though they had done nothing or even received any news? Or are you wondering where your most important relatives, friends, and loved ones are at this moment?
In the end, hundreds of years later, the Eastern and Western continents merged. This stupid greedy experiment cost countless people their lives. In order to prevent people from taking advantage of it, the past events related to this were buried under the ice. .
