Game Hunter - Chapter 137
Chapter 137 Billions Versus Tens of Billions of People’s Life Choices
Hand over a human being for a ton of rice and a ton of vegetables. If one billion humans were to be handed over, they would receive a total of two billion tons of food aid. Although there was no meat in it, it was better to have food than nothing.
It had to be said that when Game corpse put forward this condition, all the members of Parliament were truly moved. Two billion yuan in food aid was undoubtedly a charcoal in the snow for Mars, which had a tight food supply.
After many discussions, the senators agreed to Game corpse’s request. But President Loos, after a data analysis, also felt that this was a viable plan.
If we can get these 2 billion yuan in food aid, humans will be able to survive for at least two to three years. These two to three years will be enough for Mars to increase its food supply capacity in a timely manner.
Although World Government was unwilling to sacrifice that billion people, in this situation, considering the overall situation and the future of mankind, World Government had no choice but to agree to the request of the Chess Corpse Group.
After agreeing, the question of which billion humans to choose became a big one in front of World Government.
The government also needs scientists to study weapons and ways to resume food production as soon as possible, so scientists are unlikely to be handed over. Soldiers were the same. In the future, the government still needed to rely on them to counter-attack the Earth. Naturally, soldiers would stay on Mars. Child, is the future of a race, all of this transaction, all the children do not need to participate in it.
Politicians on Mars, for similar reasons, narrowly escaped. As for the merchants, they paid a high ransom to World Government in exchange for the right to stay on Mars.
But in the end, the failure to hand over the ransom and the old, weak, and disabled humans became the primary targets of World Government’s trade with Game corpse, and Chen Hai and Chen Mo were the first targets of World Government because of their failure to hand over the ransom.
Loos said calmly. Apart from politicians and soldiers, the truth of the matter was not clear to anyone else.
As a major, Luo Fei and the others naturally had the right to know the truth. That’s why Ou Sheng took Luo Fei and the others to meet with President Loos.
As for leaving Chen Xing and the others in Ou Sheng’s office, that was also because of Ou Sheng’s idea. He did not want to, and could not let Chen Xing and the others know the truth of this matter. Once the truth was revealed, the entire Mars would fall into a panic.
Luo Fei stared at Ou Sheng and questioned, “I can understand Loos’s decision. After all, he’s just a robot. But I want to know, what do you think? Why did you agree to the deal?”
“It’s not that I want to agree, but I have to agree.” Ou Sheng sighed, “You can see how desperate I was when you saw the hungry eat bark, when you saw the old man in the village being divided up by his fellow villagers, when you saw a mother cooking her newborn baby. I have great strength, but I can’t save them. I can easily destroy a planet, but I can’t produce food. I can’t save everyone. I can’t feed them. One side is the one billion humans that traded with Game corpse, the other is the hungry 10 billion humans. What do you want me to do and what choice do you want me to make? The stakes between the two are lighter, so I can only choose the latter. ”
At the end of Ou Sheng’s words, his tone couldn’t help but become excited.
This was the first time Luo Fei and the others had seen Ou Sheng so excited.
When Ou Sheng saw that the living person in front of him was starving to death, the old Ou Sheng had completely disappeared.
Listening to Ou Sheng’s story, Luo Fei and the others were all silent. If Luo Fei and the others were left with the choice, their decision might not be better than Ou Sheng’s.
Everyone was not a sage, wanting to save the world, save everyone. In the end, this was just a beautiful illusion. Even if there was no such thing as an immortal in battle, if the human flame seed wanted to continue, some of them would have to make sacrifices. Even if those people were unwilling, it was no longer up to them to say “no”.
“I’ll do the bad guys.” Ou Sheng smiled bitterly and said, “I will capture people. I will gather a billion humans. Even if I am nailed to the pillar of history in the future, and even if I am scolded by tens of thousands of people in the future, as long as the human flame can continue, I will admit that there are many consequences. My reputation alone is nothing compared to the future of mankind.”
“Very good, very good.”
Luo Fei couldn’t help but applaud for Ou Sheng when he saw that his words were filled with passion and emotions. On the surface, however, Luo Fei was congratulating Ou Sheng, but his expression had already revealed that Luo Fei was completely disdainful of this. If there was a film review now, Rofey would definitely give Ou Sheng an Oscar-winning Golden Award.
Luo Fei sneered, “One or two, hypocrisy, hypocrisy, hypocrisy.”
After leaving this sentence, Luo Fei left straightforwardly.
Seeing Luo Fei leave, Zuo Jie and the others immediately chased after him.
Just as the four of them left, Loos said in a deep voice, “About Chen Xing …”
“Ah, I understand.” Ou Sheng nodded and said, “Leave Chen Xing to me.”
“Then I’ll leave it to you, Major General.”
…
On the other side, Chen Xing and the others, who were locked up in Ou Sheng’s office, were thinking about how to escape. However, before the three of them could carry out their plan, Serge had already broken into Ou Sheng’s office with a large group of people.
Along with Sergei, there were also Luo Fei and the others.
“Arrest the three of them!” Before Luo Fei could speak, Serge gave the order.
Chen Xing’s expression darkened as he looked at the masked man who was pressing forward.
Chen Xing and the others wanted to resist, but they were unarmed and had their hands tied. They were no match for the masked men. Sage’s subordinates had only used a minute to subdue Chen Mo and the others.
“Ah–!”
Chen Hai roared powerlessly. He looked at his father and sister falling into the hands of the enemy, but Chen Hai was helpless.
Chen Hai was unwilling. He only hated that his strength wasn’t enough and that he couldn’t save his loved ones.
Seeing that Chen Hai was still resisting, Sage and his subordinates continuously beat Chen Hai, trying to make him lose consciousness.
“Chen Hai!” Chen Xing and Chen Mo watched helplessly as Chen Hai was beaten, but they could do nothing.
Chen Mo helplessly said, “Quickly stop, quickly stop …” However, Chen Mo’s call was exchanged for more beatings from Chen Hai.
Chen Xing’s eyes widened in anger as he watched this scene. Seeing his son and daughter being treated like this, he, as a father, could do nothing.
Chen Xing sank into deep self-blame. When Chen Xing turned around, he suddenly realized that Luo Fei and the others were among the people present.
Chen Xing placed all his hopes on Luo Fei and the others.
Chen Xing knelt down and kowtowed, continuously pleading, “I beg you, quickly tell them to stop. If you want to fight, beat me all alone …”
Facing Chen Xing’s pleading, the four of them were different.
Luo Fei hesitated and struggled. Zuo Jie turned a blind eye and looked coldly at this scene. Tang Ran couldn’t bear it and could only turn around and pretend that he couldn’t hear it. Li Li closed her eyes and pretended that she couldn’t see.
The reactions of Luo Fei and the others were like a basin of cold water pouring on Chen Xing. However, even so, Chen Xing still held one last glimmer of hope and continuously begged Luo Fei and the others to help him.
It wasn’t that Zuo Jie and the others didn’t want to make a move, but the order to capture Chen Xing and the others was personally given by Ou Sheng in front of Zuo Jie and the others. Saving Chen Xing meant resisting Ou Sheng.
Zuo Jie and the others could ignore other people’s opinions. But Ou Sheng was their captain after all, and Zuo Jie and the others had no choice but to consider Ou Sheng’s feelings.
Just as Tang Ran and the others were hesitating, the beaten Chen Hai suddenly spoke. He gritted his teeth and said, “Dad, there is no need to ask these villains. We are humans. As humans, we should have human dignity. Even if I really die in the future, I will still die as a human. As a human dignity, I have never abandoned it.”
Luo Fei raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen Hai in surprise. Luo Fei was surprised that Chen Hai could say these words.
Luo Fei looked straight at Chen Hai, and the corner of his mouth couldn’t help but rise.
Just as Chen Xing and the others were feeling disheartened, the situation on Chen Hai’s side underwent a new change.
Chen Hai suddenly fell to the ground and let out a heart-wrenching roar.
Along with Chen Hai’s roar, Chen Hai’s body also changed.
His body expanded rapidly, his skin turned black, and his appearance was covered with a thick layer of black fur.
What Sage had never expected was that Chen Hai’s game virus would begin to attack at this time. He had mutated into Game corpse, becoming a two-meter tall Panther Weirdo.
After obtaining the power of the game virus, Panther Weirdo easily broke the rope tied to his body and broke free from Sage and the others’ restraints.
Panther Weirdo waved his enormous claws. After knocking away all the masked men, Panther Weirdo’s gaze stared fixedly at Luo Fei.
Luo Fei responded with a smile to Panther Weirdo’s resentful gaze.
Seeing Luo Fei smiling, Panther Weirdo was furious. Just as Panther Weirdo was about to attack Luo Fei, Chen Xing hurriedly stopped Panther Weirdo.
“Chen Hai-!”
Hearing Chen Xing’s voice, Panther Weirdo turned to look at Chen Xing and Chen Mo.
Because Chen Hai had just mutated, Chen Hai actually maintained a trace of rationality. He still remembered all the things he had been with Chen Xing and Chen Mo in the past.
Chen Mo looked at Panther Weirdo with tears in his eyes and choked up, “Let’s go, Chen Hai. Run as far away as possible. Don’t worry about us anymore.”
A burst of intense headache was tormenting Panther Weirdo. The game virus was trying to control Chen Hai’s emotions, but Chen Hai instinctively resisted.
Panther Weirdo raised his head to the sky and let out a long howl. He used his head to beat the ground desperately. Chen Hai used this extreme method to forcefully suppress the impact of the game virus on him.
After giving Luo Fei a fierce look, Panther Weirdo directly carried Chen Xing and Chen Mo and left the scene.
Seeing Panther Weirdo leave, Luo Fei and the others remained unmoved. They didn’t do anything and watched helplessly as Panther Weirdo fled into the distance.
