The movie "I Am Legend" had a lot of religious atonement atmosphere. Although the protagonist was always struggling in adversity, loneliness, and despair, the whole movie had a lot of doomsday and human atonement plots. There were even two endings in "I Am Legend". One of them simply said that the reason for the doomsday was all human's fault. Although the protagonist survived in this ending, all his efforts and struggles were completely denied by this ending.
Almost all religions believed that the existence of human beings was a sin. For example, the Western religion believed that the Original Sin, and the Eastern religion believed that this and that were also suffering. They believed that the birth of a person into the world was suffering, and that life was all suffering. This so-called suffering was actually a sin. Suffering, suffering, suffering, suffering was actually suffering.
The reason why religions preached this way was very simple. Otherwise, they would not be able to bewitch people. Those who were bewitched would bring the idea that all humans were sinful to all aspects of their lives. There were even people who developed this idea to the peak. Moreover, this idea was even wrapped in a layer of beautiful clothing. It preached that humans were parasites on Earth, that humans had destroyed the environment, that humans had killed each other in war, that humans had evil thoughts, and so on. Therefore, humans should be exterminated, and the one who exterminated them should be God and so on.
This thought was the most popular at the end of the twentieth century. Chu Hao was still young. Although he did not enjoy the various childhood experiences of a normal child due to his family background, he still had some of the expectations and hobbies of an ordinary child. For example, reading comics when he was in a hurry was his greatest pleasure. In fact, many comics at the end of the twentieth century were actually filled with such thoughts. Evil gods and devils would often say that humans were evil and that it was only right for them to destroy humans. Even the protagonists in the comics or animations agreed with this thought in their hearts.
Agree my ass!
Even when Chu Hao was young, he was extremely disdainful when he saw such ideas. What a joke! Did they really think that gods were raised by their families?
Would humans accuse lions of being parasites of the grassland because lions killed antelopes and bison? Would humans accuse lions of being evil because a new male lion became the leader of the pride and killed the offspring of the old lion? If there was really a god who transcended everything, who was omniscient and omnipotent, and who had no time to seek outside, then the distance between gods and humans would definitely be far greater than that between humans and lions. Gods would not even look at humans as ants. They would look at humans as if they had transcended and not transcended. It was even more transcendental than humans looking at a pile of sand. Would such a god destroy the world because of what humans did to the earth or their own species?
At most, human technology would be more advanced and humans would obtain some truth and technology in the universe. Would gods choose to destroy the world because of this? If they really destroyed the world because of this, then this god was not a god at all. He was just a stronger creature that was afraid that humans would become stronger too. Then, he would use the excuse of how evil humans were and how they were parasites of the earth to destroy humans. That was all there was to it. It was just like what humans would do when lions began to evolve and possibly evolve into intelligent creatures like humans. There was a saying that a person, creature, or organization that did such a thing was a whore trying to set up a monument to her chastity.
In the movie "I Am Legend", such an impression could be seen from time to time. Although the main character did not say it out loud, there were some supporting actresses who said that it was God's will. Coupled with the bullsh * t second ending and the looming butterfly in the movie, the director's intention was very simple. He wanted to make the movie more religious, explaining that it was the sins of mankind that led to the end of the world.
The butterfly was a metaphor in Western biblical religions. It was the name of a fallen angel who accompanied God. This fallen angel was in charge of despair and punished sinners on behalf of God. It was so cruel that even God took pity on sinners. In I Am Legend, there were all kinds of butterfly symbols. Even the same butterfly symbol appeared in both endings. This was the metaphor.
But were humans sinful?! Even if they were sinful, they were only sinful according to their own moral standards. What did it have to do with the gods and angels in heaven?!
When Chu Hao was in the survivor's village, although he did lie, he was sincere when he said that science was the truth. Without science and technology, humans would still be primitive. If science and technology were wrong, and humans were born to be wrong, why didn't they just commit suicide and be done with it? Why pray to Buddha? Why worship gods? The reason why humans advanced to the top of the Earth's biosphere was that they were constantly striving for self-improvement. Even if there were gods and angels, Chu Hao would fight for humans. Humans were not wrong, humans were not sinful!
All these thoughts hovered in Chu Hao's mind for a long time. Then he took a deep breath and made his decision. Save the world … Not only did he have to save the world, but if there were really some powerful creatures or foreign races that intervened in the apocalyptic catastrophe of this world, he would not rest until he was dead. Even if he could not defeat them now, he would remember this grudge. Chu Hao would immediately do nothing and leave with his team. When the team was strong enough, he would come back to kill them or exterminate their race.
This was Chu Hao's great wish to save the world. Whether it was in reality or in this world of reincarnation, a great wish was a great wish because one could not deceive themselves. If they could deceive themselves, what kind of great wish would it be? That was just a self-deceiving daydream.
Not to mention the thoughts on the way, the hot air balloon was not limited by the terrain, and there was no need to worry about the difference between day and night. Although it seemed that the hot air balloon would fall apart at any time and its flying speed was far slower than that of an airplane, the edge of New York City appeared in front of them in just a few days.
The situation in New York was not much different from the various ruined cities they had seen along the way. It was also so decadent and lonely. There was no noise and liveliness in the city, only loneliness. The hot air balloon flew over the sky. Along the way, everyone's mood was as uncomfortable and silent as before. Moreover, New York City was a super metropolis. This feeling was even stronger than when they saw those small towns and cities.
After walking for a while, Zhang Heng sighed and said, "I finally know why you're so obsessed with saving the world. If the reality I'm in is like this world … then I think I'll go crazy too. Even if I survive, I'll go crazy. If anything happens in the real world in the future, just give me a call."
Chu Hao's expression was solemn and serious. "Not only you. If there is a drastic change in reality, I may bring all of you back. Of course, it's okay if you don't want to follow. But in the future, you will be strangers."
The rest of the people did not speak. Most of them nodded slightly. Only Steri's face was gloomy. No one knew what he was thinking.
It was noon at the moment. This was the time when the male lead, Colonel Robert Neff, was waiting for the survivors at the port. Everyone was excited to be able to see the legendary male lead in the movie. Immediately, they urged the hot air balloon to rush to the port. When they arrived, it was only a little past noon. They found a flat ground and landed the hot air balloon. Then, they rushed to the port.
However, when they arrived at the harbor, no matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find any traces of human habitation. The man and the dog from the movie were nowhere to be seen. After searching for almost two hours, when they gathered again, everyone's expressions were very ugly.
When Aoqi saw that Chu Hao had returned, he immediately said, "No, I've scanned the entire area with my spiritual power. Let alone the main character, there isn't even a single mutated human. This port is very clean. Could it be that we've missed the plot?"
The plot progressed according to the player's own timeline. Even if the Reincarnation Team did not join the plot, the plot would progress on its own. In the movie, I Am Legend, when the main character was trapped by the Mutants and his dog died, he never came to the port again. After that, there were two endings in the movie. No matter which ending it was, no one would be able to find the Colonel in a short period of time.
After hearing that, Chu Hao raised his head and looked around the port. Then, he revealed a strange expression. He looked at his watch and said to everyone, "There's still about two hours before the sun sets. If it's really a coincidence … Then if we go here, there should still be a chance for us to turn around …"
Before coming to this world, Chu Hao had already exchanged for a map of the entire New York City. As it was exchanged by the King God, it was definitely a top-notch item. Not only were there all kinds of sewers, secret passages, and basements, but there were also all kinds of secret government buildings hidden in New York. According to the development of the movie plot, Chu Hao already knew what kind of plot would trigger in New York. The place that he was leading everyone to … was the place where the male lead was trapped by the mutants and where his dog died.
Everyone found a few cars that still had gas left by the roadside and rushed towards the location in Chu Hao's memory. When everyone arrived at the location, Ao Qi's Spiritual Power had already projected everything into everyone's minds before they could even see it with their naked eyes …
A muscular black man was hung upside down by a rope in front of a huge damaged building. Below the man, a big dog was growling anxiously. At the same time, in the huge damaged building, there were several mutant dogs and hundreds of mutants. The leader of the mutants was very tall, about two or three meters tall. He was looking at the muscular black man fiercely …
The plot had developed to this point. If they had come a day later, they might not have been able to find the male lead!
Everyone looked at Chu Hao in surprise. They could not understand why Chu Hao knew that the plot had developed to this point, but Chu Hao lowered his head slightly. There was a strange light in his eyes. He only muttered, "No, it's not that I expected the plot to develop to this point … but the plot has developed to this point and is waiting for us with this plot …"
"Our actions … have they been planned by someone?"
