Extreme germ phobia

Chapter 66 The First Induction

Matt had lost his sense of direction to begin with, and he kept weaving in and out of obstacles on the road. It didn't take long for him to get completely lost in the complicated streets, and he couldn't even tell east, west, or north.

But the people from the Blood Alliance were like sticky candy, always sticking to me and I couldn't get rid of them.

Matt took a look and whispered, "We must find a place to hide as soon as possible."

Ou Yang was stunned: "What's wrong?"

"It's running low on gas," Matt said. "Maybe the tank is damaged."

Ou Yang immediately remembered the bullet he had fired at the right rear, and the fuel tank seemed to be in this direction.

He suddenly became anxious: "Matt, we can't run anymore, it's too passive!"

Matt was surprised: "What else can I do if I don't run?"

Ou Yang did not answer but asked: "Can you put aside your faith for a while?"

"What?" Matt was shocked. "Of course not!"

Can it still be called faith if you can let go?

Ou Yang felt constipated: This kid is actually such a stubborn fool?
Recalling the brainwashing of the infected, he immediately asked, "What is your belief?"

Matt looked at him as if he were a fool. "Of course it's God. Is there any need to ask? Don't you believe it?"

Ou Yang shook his head and said, "I don't believe it."

Matt's eyes were filled with regret and contempt, as if Ou Yang was a barbarian who ate raw meat and drank blood. "That's a shame."

Ou Yang immediately became furious. What are you looking at? When my ancestors were chasing the enemy to the north and conquered the Wolf's Lair, your ancestors were still eating dirt!
Matt said with a pious expression, "God is the creator and ruler of all things in the universe. He can create and control everything. He is omnipotent and omniscient. He transcends time and space..."

"Stop!" Ou Yang interrupted directly, "What do you mean, are you still planning to save me, a lost lamb, on behalf of God?"

Matt shrugged, "Not good?"

"Of course not," Ou Yang said, "I don't believe in God, but I have faith!"

Matt smiled very reservedly, with a sense of superiority. "I'd like to hear more about it."

"We Chinese believe in our ancestors, our bloodline, and the heritage of our civilization. Do you understand what heritage is?"

Matt showed an apologetic expression: "I'm sorry, I really don't understand what you said."

Ou Yang raised his chin and said proudly, "The Bible says that God sent a flood to destroy the world and instructed Noah to build an ark. But we believe that man can conquer nature. When the flood comes, everyone will gather together and spend more than ten years to clean up the flood. If the sky collapses, we will repair it. If there are ten suns in the sky, we will shoot down nine... No matter when or where we are, we will never give up, never compromise, and never retreat. This is what we Chinese believe in!"

After a moment's thought, he added, "We have a 5,000-year-old civilization. We are the only ancient civilization that has survived to this day. The reason lies in the inheritance of culture and bloodline!"

Matt was very surprised: "Wow, your civilization has a history of 5,000 years, that's really amazing, but history is not faith, God is!"

Hawke suddenly interrupted, "Ten suns? It must be an alien spaceship!"

Ou Yang couldn't help but roll his eyes. This guy was such a conversation starter. He had finally managed to create a good atmosphere, but his words completely destroyed it. "Then we are the first human civilization to resist the alien invasion!"

Hawke raised his hand cautiously like a bullied child. "Also, the Ark was built by the Chinese."

Ou Yang's face twitched. Brother, are you talking about the movie?

This guy not only cherishes his life, but is also a constitutional man... maybe even a little mentally retarded?

Aren't Americans all game geeks? Is this guy a movie geek? Never mind.

"Matt, I'm not saying this for anything else, but to tell you that faith can't save you, but you can!" Ou Yang's mind was filled with scenes of our army's political workers encouraging new recruits. "Tell me, man can conquer nature!"

"No, no, no, this is impossible!" Matt refused resolutely.

Ou Yang suddenly had a headache.

Because of the context, this idiom is translated into English and its literal meaning is "Man can definitely conquer nature"!
Obviously, it is more than one level different from the original meaning.

If it is changed to God or Heaven, it means that humans can defeat God or heaven, which is also far from the original meaning.

Ouyang's level of knowledge is limited, and I really don't know what word is most appropriate to translate the Chinese word "天" into English. I can only put it another way: "天行劲，君子要无止自劲不失" (Heaven moves vigorously, and the gentleman strives for self-improvement)...

This is even more difficult to translate, and he doesn't even dare to say that he can translate this sentence accurately into vernacular.

Should men be self-reliant?
The literal translation is that a man should strengthen himself, or a man should be strong, which is equally irrelevant and has a unique sense of humor.

After struggling for a while, he finally managed to say something that seemed to make sense: "You are a man, not a woman. You have to protect yourself, understand? If someone pointed a gun at your family, you would not pick up a gun to fight back?"

Matt looked innocent: "Isn't it true that no one does this now?"

Ou Yang's chest ached from holding it in, and he finally managed to suppress his emotions that were about to explode: "It will be there soon."

He turned around and took a look. He still hadn't shaken off the Blood Alliance members. "Keeping away all the time is too passive. Too passive, you understand? We must be more proactive and get out of this unfavorable situation!"

Matt still looked disapproving, so Ou Yang bluntly said, "I'm talking about a sniper attack. Two guns, you on the left and I on the right, attacking from both sides and catching them off guard!"

One punch is enough to prevent a hundred punches from coming. When it’s time to fight, you have to fight!
He is not a particularly proactive person, but the current situation has forced him to this point. Instead of waiting for the car to run out of gas and be caught up by the Blood Alliance, it is better to take the initiative and seize the initiative.

"Sorry, I can't. I can't touch a gun!" Matt still insisted, "Besides, we can leave, why should we stay? There are more Blood Alliance members and more guns. It's too dangerous to stay!"

"What if I can't escape?"

"Then just surrender." Matt said as a matter of course.

"Surrender? Don't you know what the consequences of surrender are?" Ou Yang couldn't believe his ears. How could such a coward dare to hang out in an illegal underground organization?

Matt argued: "If you don't surrender, you will die immediately. If you surrender, you can live a little longer. Why not surrender?"

Ou Yang was speechless. This guy is such a blockhead!
The East is ashamed of surrender, but the West regards it as normal. Their values are not equal, and they are talking at cross purposes. There is really no way to continue the communication.

Forget it, I'm tired, let's destroy it!
These days, it’s better to rely on yourself than on others!

"Turn ahead and put me down!" said Ou Yang.

Matt's eyes widened. "Are you sure?"

"Sure!" Ou Yang said.

Matt looked at Ou Yang as if he were a madman: "If that's the case, I can't guarantee that I can get you through the blockade!"

Ou Yang pointed behind him: "So you can get me through the blockade?"
