Chapter 193: An Unsolvable Contradiction

Boom… Boom… Boom…

As the engine operated at full power, the passenger plane slowly rose into the air and spun away from the messy city.

Around the passenger plane were four fighter planes equipped with air-to-air missiles. They were responsible for the protection of the entire flight.

In the cabin of the passenger plane, including Chen Yu, every student of Beijing University carried a thick set of parachutes. This was to ensure that even if the plane was attacked by the exotic beasts, the passengers would still have a chance to escape.

Not long after, the passenger plane completed its climb and entered a stable cruising phase.

Chen Yu immediately poked Bahuabg Yao beside him. “Yao’er, can you change your seat? I’m carsick.”

The young girl by the window was stunned. She glanced at the scenery outside the window reluctantly, but still obediently changed her seat.

“It’s comfortable.”

Sitting by the window, Chen Yu loosened the safety buckle of his parachute. Looking at the undulating clouds outside the window, he suddenly felt that his chest was wide open.

“Brother Yu?” Duan Ye poked his head out from the outside. “Let’s exchange seats and let me have Kang Kang as well?”

“What are you thinking about? This is a seat by the window.” Chen Yu waved his hand. “Only a fool would change.”

Bahuang Yao:”…”

Duan Ye spread his hands and looked at Bahuang Yao. “Divorce him.”

“Don’t… Don’t talk nonsense!” The girl’s face instantly turned red.

“Chen Yu.” At this moment, Zhang Tie’s voice came from the front row. “Come here for a second.”

“What for?”

“It’s your first time riding a plane. Let me tell you some things to take note of.”

“What’s there to talk about?”

“If I tell you to come, then come! Do you know how to open a parachute? Do you know how to press the emergency button? Do you know how to use the ejector seat?”

“…Alright.” Standing up, Chen Yu walked around his two teammates and walked to the front row. He did not forget to threaten, “If you dare to steal my seat, then you can try.”

Duan Ye looked at his nose and heart. “If you can try, then you can try.”

“Then you will die.”

“If you die, then you will die…”

An overseas student beside the aisle: “?”

Coming to the front row, Chen Yu casually leaned against it and said, “Teach me.”

“Sit here.”

Zhang Tie patted the seat next to the window.

After Chen Yu sat down, Zhang Tie started to explain in detail, “This is the pull rope of the parachute. The safety is this. After pulling the rope, the parachute will open. However, don’t open it too early.”

Chen Yu: “Hmm.”

“This is the ejection button. The safety is on the flight attendant’s side. If she doesn’t open it, the ejection won’t start.”

Chen Yu raised his head and pointed at the ceiling. “What if there’s a ceiling?”

“Don’t worry about it. After the flight attendant opens the safety, the top of the plane will fall off.”

“What if you hit someone?” Chen Yu’s mind was wandering.

“Why do you care about this? If you’re attacked by exotic beasts, you’ll be in the wild. There’s no one in the wild. Don’t interrupt me. I’m going to teach you the emergency button…”

Zhang Tie’s instructions were extremely detailed. He actually talked about the four simple escape steps for more than 10 minutes.

After that, Chen Yu felt that he could even build a plane.

“That’s all. Go back.” After twisting open the bottle of mineral water and taking a sip, Zhang Tie waved his hand. “Pay attention, it’s not as safe as taking a high-speed train. You have to stay focused at all times and prepare for emergencies.”

“Is the probability of an airplane being killed very high?” Chen Yu stood up and asked.

“Very high. Every year, there are accidents on school planes.”

“Is this a school plane?” Chen Yu was shocked.

“Yes.”

“Then… Then the four fighter planes outside…”

“They’re also from the school. Is that weird?”

“It’s just a university. How could it be so powerful? How could it have fighter planes?”

“You’ve just entered the university, so you don’t understand.” Zhang Tie put down the water bottle and said, “Don’t apply the model of junior high school and senior high school to university. Let me put it this way…”

Zhang Tie stretched out two fingers and said, “Our country and most of the other countries in the world have two kinds of violent systems. One is the army, and the other is the university.”

Chen Yu: “Wow…”

Duan Ye: “Wow…”

Like Duan Ye, Bahuang Yao also stretched out her head and asked, “Brother Tie… Brother Tie, are there still clans?”

“Clans, police stations, express delivery companies, security companies, and so on. They can be considered as filling forces.” Zhang Tie explained, “From a macro perspective, there are only two main forces. The military and the university.”

After a short pause, Zhang Tie saw that all three of them were listening to him attentively. He then continued to explain, “In the military, commoners are the main force. Together with high-tech equipment, they form a considerable heat-fighting force. With a proper plan and a good command, they can unleash a terrifying output. In the aspect of killing exotic beasts, they have made great achievements.”

“However, due to the limitation of the formation of the military, the low fighting force of commoners, as well as the lack of physical strength and mobility, it’s very difficult for them to carry out special operations. There’s no way to restrict high-level fighters. Therefore, they can’t be used for public security. They can only fight exotic beasts.”

“Of course, there are fighters in the army. They formed special forces to make up for their shortcomings.”

After saying this, Zhang Tie took another sip of water to moisten his throat.

“Now that the army is finished, let’s talk about university. First of all, you have to understand that in the world of fighters, fighters are strength. University is a unit that educates and promotes martial artists. Then, it naturally becomes a violent department.”

“Right now, you can only come into contact with me, the security officer. Your field of vision isn’t wide yet. In university, the real core is actually the professors’ group. Every official professor’s strength level is not lower than Level 6. The Presidents and committees of each academy have experts of Level 7, or even Level 8.”

“Even excluding those fighters who stay in school after graduation every year, these professors could easily resist the army.”

“Therefore…” Zhang Tie changed the topic and pointed at the airplane, “Isn’t it normal for such an absolutely violent force to have airplanes and fighter planes?”

“I see.” Chen Yu nodded knowingly.

Actually, he had fallen into the common sense misunderstanding of the real world in his previous life.

In the ‘normal’ society in his previous life, education was just one of the many systems in the country.

However, in the high-level martial arts world, education was a unit whose authority was above everything else.

As a result, the power tree in the world had been deformed from the beginning.

Commoners were destined to have no rights and interests.

Because… even the warriors themselves did not have rights.

To exaggerate, humanity currently had a relationship of billions of ‘slaves’ and a few ‘slave owners’.

When a Level 10 warrior appeared one day, those former ‘slave owners’ would instantly become ‘slaves’.

Just like the three-body civilization on Earth…

Three-body civilization encountered the singer…

At this point, Chen Yu suddenly thought of many things.

The warrior social system was forced to be born.

And from the moment of birth, it was a tragedy.

No one, no warrior, could escape.

Therefore, the rule of elites would never exist.

The rule of law? The law? Balance? It was even more nonsense. These things were only limited to the ‘same race’ of the ‘same power’.

A warlord could easily kill many people with a spear, but he would also be easily killed by a spear.

As for ordinary people and martial artists, strictly speaking, they were already different ‘races’.

Level 1 martial artists and Level 2 martial artists were also different races.

Level 3 and Level 4..

Level 5 and 6..

The gap was getting wider and wider.

This was a leap in life, a sublimation of strength.

As the level got higher and higher, the gap between each level was widening.

This also explained why martial artists couldn’t be punished.

This was because the laws of the Earth civilization couldn’t restrict the three-body civilization.

The same was true for ordinary people and martial artists.

There was no law in the entire high-level martial arts world.

Neither the middle-level, the upper-level, nor the ruling-level could be ‘reasonable’, ‘play tricks’, ‘fight for knowledge’, or ‘rely on political achievements’.

They relied on their fists.

Whoever had a higher level would be a ‘slave master’.

A tiger would never submit to a dog, even if the dog was more excellent than it…

‘What a chaotic society…’

Chen Yu took a deep breath and pressed down the heaviness in his heart. He then asked Zhang Tie, “So, the rulers of each country are all in universities?”

“…” After a short silence, Zhang Tie replied, “Yes.”

“Got it.”

Chen Yu sat back down and gazed at the bright sunshine outside the window. He was neither happy nor sad.

The superficial peace was just the inertia of the former civilization.

Naturally, there was no need to reconcile the series of social conflicts that resulted from this.

Because there was no solution.

‘They’ would accompany mankind until the end…
