"Captain... they..."
Along the way, Tom looked at the people behind him in surprise. He asked Chu Hao in a low voice as he walked, but Chu Hao did not answer at all. Instead, he walked faster and faster. Not only that, Tom also noticed that the rest of the people, including Steri, who had been talking to him as his subordinate, were doing the same. Steri even passed him and ran to the position next to Chu Hao.
Tom also noticed that something was wrong. He looked left and right at Zhang Heng and Xi Kong. The two of them did not run as fast as Steri, but both of them were silent. Xi Kong still had a cold expression on her face, and Zhang Heng was also silent. At this time, Tom finally could not help but stop walking. His voice became louder as he asked directly, "Captain! What about those people, they... "
However, before Tom could finish his sentence, Zhang Heng, who was beside him, had already grabbed his hand and dragged him forward. This made him swallow back his words. Tom was not deeply involved in this matter, but he was not a fool. Seeing this, he understood what was going on. However, this did not mean that he would accept it. Instead, he looked at Chu Hao and Zhang Heng in astonishment. The further they walked, the gloomier his expression became. However, he did not ask any more questions.
Just like that, everyone walked out of the cinema quickly. After they came out, they took a closer look. It was a cinema in a bustling neighborhood. Other than the street lights, it was dark outside. The time was probably late at night or early in the morning. After everyone walked out of the cinema, they were greeted by a gust of wind that woke them up.
"Tier, from now on, for 72 hours, start video recording. Everything you see will be recorded in the form of video files on your memory chip... How big is your memory chip?" Chu Hao suddenly asked.
TIER said calmly, "My memory chip has a capacity of 30 ZB. The high-definition video that I can store is 316312 …" As he said that, a red light flashed in TIER's eyes. It seemed like he was starting to calculate. Chu Hao interrupted him immediately.
"1028 terabytes is equal to 1 PB, 1028 PB is equal to 1 EB, 1028 EB is equal to 1 ZB. This capacity is sufficient. Then, from now on, turn on the video recording function. Record everything that you see, including visible light and invisible light, as well as all the sounds that humans can hear and can't hear, record everything. This command will be executed first," Chu Hao said directly.
Tier silently accepted the order. Chu Hao then turned to the others and said, "Let's go to the rooftop of the nearby building first. We need to observe more carefully..."
Tom finally could not help but yell, "Observe? Observe what? Don't tell me you want to observe their deaths? Watch them get killed by the malicious spirit, is this what you want to do?! "
Everyone around them was silent. Chu Hao looked at Tom without any change in his expression and said directly, "Yes, this is what I want to do. Abandon these people and let them die on their own. If they are lucky, they will run away even if they encounter a ghost in three days. Those who can't die no matter what may appear may also appear. Of course, those who are killed by the malicious spirit may also appear. I want to observe all of this. This is what I want to do. Do you have any objections?"
"Objections? Haha, objections? "
Tom was so angry that he laughed. He looked at Chu Hao with familiarity and said after a long time, "Are you asking me what my opinion is about watching a group of humans, a group of lives being killed by malicious spirits and then watching coldly from the side? Then let me answer you, Butcher, this opinion is... "
"Slap!"
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Heng had already slapped Tom with a cold face. Then, he looked at Tom in disbelief and even looked like he was about to cry. He sighed and said, "Stop fooling around. Listen carefully to what Chu Hao has to say..."
"... They are strangers. At least before the end of this horror movie, the people who die are all just strangers. They are just passersby. That's all." Chu Hao looked at Tom silently and said as he walked forward.
Tom's face was red with anger. Before he could say anything, Zhang Heng grabbed him again and said to Chu Hao in an extremely serious tone, "Speak properly! Chu Hao, speak properly. Say everything you want to say. "
Chu Hao's footsteps paused for a moment, but he quickly continued walking. "This is a twenty man difficulty movie world. It's a movie world with the same difficulty as the invaders. There are no other teams in this world. There's no team Great Western Continent or team China. There's only … a broken team Northern Ice Continent with only a few of us. The ratio of rookies to us veterans is more than one to one. We have no way to protect them at all. One veteran protecting two rookies. Can you do it, or can I?"
Tom subconsciously followed Chu Hao and walked forward. As he walked, he asked, "Then we can at least give them a reminder. For example, we can tell them about the horror movie 'Ghosts Will Show', or tell them some things to take note of, or ask them about the industry they are good at and their abilities. What if there is a very strong newcomer among them? If we do this, we can at least give them a chance to live... "
"A chance to live? Haha... "Chu Hao laughed softly. After laughing, he said in a serious tone without turning his head," A chance to live is something that you seize and fight for. Besides, what do you think we are? Gods? Buddhas? Or was it some sort of supreme being? No, we just obtained some ordinary people with abilities that surpass ordinary people! We don't have the qualifications to give others a chance to live because even we are in the situation. If you give them a chance to live, then you have no chance to live! "
"If I tell them about this movie, do you think they will believe me? If they don't believe me, then they will naturally walk their own path. But what if they believe me? Because of TIER's demonstration, the possibility of them believing is higher. Then what if they follow us? Then we will chase them away? Then what if they shamelessly insist on following us? Do you want us to kill them with our own hands or beat them up or what? If we accept them and wait for the malicious spirits to arrive, will you or me be the one to face them? Or do you think these newbies have the ability to fight the malicious spirits? "
These words made Tom speechless. He tried to refute, but no matter what, he couldn't say anything. After a long time, he finally said, "But … Didn't you want to save the world? Aren't you Chu Hao? What about the words you said to us in Terminator 2018? That peace, that ordinariness, isn't that your dream? So why are you so heartless now? "
"This is still a choice, and I... have to make a choice."
Chu Hao continued walking without looking back. "What I want to save is the peace and ordinariness of the real world. There are no memes, no ghosts, and no doomsday. To do this, I need power. So, I, and all of you, can't die. We have to survive and become stronger. This is the lesson I learned in Terminator 2, and this is also my promise to all of you. The most important thing is to ensure our survival, and under this priority... I can choose to abandon anything, these newbies... or even this entire world, I'm still me, it's just your thoughts that have changed."
Tom still wanted to say something, but Zhang Heng had already grabbed him. In the end, he didn't say anything and just followed silently. A moment later, everyone walked to the top floor of a building under Chu Hao's lead. From there, they quietly looked at the entrance of the cinema. For a moment, everyone was speechless.
After some time, Zhang Heng suddenly walked to Chu Hao's side. He glanced at Xi Kong, who was eating a big pancake not far from Chu Hao. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, but he immediately said to Chu Hao, "This... is okay, right?"
"Uh? What do you mean? "Chu Hao was stunned for a moment before replying.
Zhang Heng took out a bunch of cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to Chu Hao. He lit one himself, then leaned against the edge of the stage and sat down. As he smoked, he said, "I say... you're always like this. You always want to bear everything by yourself. Actually, I understand what you mean. You should discuss your idea with us first. After discussing it, I think we will support your decision. After all, this isn't because we abandoned you on purpose, but because we didn't have the strength. Wouldn't it be better for us to bear this kind of psychological sin together? Why did you have to do it all by yourself and make it sound like all the sins and abandonments are your fault. We are innocent. Do you want us to thank you or what? "
Chu Hao touched the cigarette for a moment. After a moment, he lit it and took a deep breath before replying, "No, this is my decision. As the captain, I have the authority to decide the direction and actions of this team. You guys... are just following orders. That's all."
"Can I say that this is arrogance?" Zhang Heng didn't even raise his head. As he smoked, he said, "Can you be more frank and honest... Forget it. I just want to tell you that humans have a limit. The things you are shouldering are too heavy. Don't think of yourself as a savior. Don't think of yourself as some great person or the sun. You are just an ordinary life."
As he spoke, Zhang Heng finished his cigarette and flicked it out of the building. At the same time, he continued, "Furthermore, we are your companions. We are your teammates. We are comrades who have gone through life and death with you. Even if you don't trust us, there should be a limit. In the future... share some of this burden with us, you idiot captain."
Chu Hao remained silent, and Zhang Heng didn't say anything else.
Just like that, the entire rooftop was silent for a long time. Suddenly, there were exclamations from the street. A large group of people rushed out of the cinema. One, two, three... eleven, twelve...
There were only twelve rookies left...
