It was not that Ren Xiaosu wanted to annoy people at a time like this, but he really felt that he did not have any grand ambitions for this world. All he needed was a group of people to live happily together.
Regardless of whether he was a wolf or a pig, Ren Xiaosu did not care. The teammates he wanted were real people with a human touch.
For some reason, Ren Xiaosu valued human touch very much.
After experiencing so many things, he only had a sense of identity with the Northwest. This was also because there was the human touch he needed there.
The so-called human touch was not about whether the comrades beside you were strong and powerful during the battle. It was about how everyone could help each other back home after the battle was over and even laugh and scold each other on the way home.
But Ren Xiaosu did not see any of this when he was with the Wang Clan. He only remembered the Wang Clan's artificial intelligence and how the Anjing House planned to travel thousands of miles to kill supernatural beings and the desperadoes of the underworld.
Yes, after the cave-in at East Lake and the trip to the Sacred Mountains, the Wang Clan and the Anjing House had really impressed Ren Xiaosu. The last time he saw someone who could strategize like this was Qing Zhen.
Actually, Qing Zhen was also a decisive killer. However, Qing Zhen's sincere brotherly love for Luo Lan made Ren Xiaosu feel that he had a more human touch to him. This was the difference between Qing Zhen and Wang Shengzhi in Ren Xiaosu's eyes.
After a brief moment of shock, Wang Shengzhi realized that Ren Xiaosu had already answered his question.
He said in seriousness, "I had the same thoughts as you when I was a teenager. But after seeing too many unknown things in the consortium, I gradually started to believe that letting humans manage humans is the beginning of a tragedy in itself. For example, the tragedy that happened to me."
Wang Shengzhi said to himself, "I've seen a girl being violated. In the end, because the other party was a member of the Wang Clan, the Public Order Division did not dare to punish him. In the end, it was I who personally ordered that Wang Clan member to be sentenced to life imprisonment. Even today, there are still people pleading on his behalf."
"I've seen a traffic accident. A few pedestrians were playing on the street, but they accidentally fell and were hit by a car. The driver of the car didn't do anything wrong, but the Public Order Division made the driver pay compensation on the grounds of 'humanitarianism'."
"I've also seen …" Wang Shengzhi sighed. "I've seen too much, so I want to change. Many people think that I'm only doing this for my legs. I've never defended myself, so let them think so. "
Ren Xiaosu fell silent. In fact, Wang Shengzhi's reasons could not be said to be wrong. In fact, he even supported Wang Shengzhi a little. That was because for now, it seemed that an absolutely fair artificial intelligence could indeed solve this problem by replacing humans in managing society. At the very least, the Wang Clan members and stronghold officials were living on thin ice.
If it weren't for the fact that Wang Shengzhi's authority was stable enough, these privileged people would have already overturned his table.
However, when Ren Xiaosu suddenly recalled the words "counseling," it was like a thorn in his heart.
Actually, this was just a trivial matter. But Ren Xiaosu always felt that he could peer into the logic of the entire artificial intelligence through this trivial matter. That was an absolutely rational world.
It was a world devoid of human feelings.
Wang Shengzhi said, "I've been running the Wang Clan for 17 years. Day after day, I've held the military firmly in my hands and completed the purge of the political system just for this day. For the sake of that just world, I'm willing to give up everything I have now."
Ren Xiaosu thought for a long time before saying, "You might not like what I'm saying, but I think you're still being too hasty. Maybe I don't know how to manage a stronghold or an organization, but I think the world you want can be realized when everyone has enough to eat, wear warm clothes, and receive education one day. No, it might never be realized, but I still refuse to live in an impersonal world. "
He knew very well that even if this world was rich in resources and most people could afford to go to school, there would still be beggars, thieves, and criminals.
But at that time, most people would still love this world and their own lives.
After the artificial intelligence took control, Ren Xiaosu could only see pedestrians with their heads lowered on the streets. He could not even sense any warmth from those people.
Jiang Xu's initial point was not wrong. It was already good enough for the refugees to have enough to eat and wear in this era, so why should they insist on more?
But Jiang Xu also gradually realized how a cold and rational world would deal a blow to human civilization.
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu looked at Yang Anjing. "When I first came into contact with the Saboteurs, I thought you advocated for peace. But now that war has broken out in the Central Plains, the culprit should be the Anjing House in your hands, right? I believe the Pyro Company and the Kong Clan won't start a war for no reason. The trip to the Sacred Mountains was probably foreshadowed by that."
Yang Anjing said calmly, "Only when the entire Barrier Alliance is reunited can we completely eliminate the flames of war. Haven't you experienced enough wars in the past?"
"I understand that, and you're not wrong either." Ren Xiaosu said, "But it sounds more like an excuse from an ambitious person."
The two sides were already at loggerheads. Yang Anjing said in seriousness, "I never created the Saboteurs to maintain peace, but to eliminate all nuclear weapons in this world. When the AI takes over society, it will impartially and selflessly supervise all possible ways to produce nuclear weapons. At that time, we can truly become nuclear-free."
It was only then that Ren Xiaosu realized this was the basis for Yang Anjing and Wang Shengzhi's cooperation. That was because Yang Anjing knew very well that only by cooperating with Wang Shengzhi could she finally achieve her goal once and for all. At that time, even the Saboteurs would not need to exist anymore. That was because no one could escape the AI's eyes to research nuclear weapons.
This was Yang Anjing's ultimate goal.
"Are nuclear weapons really that scary?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
"Of course." Yang Anjing looked at Ren Xiaosu. "How else do you think we entered the era of wastelands? It wasn't easy for humans to catch a breather for more than 200 years. Now, someone has come up with this thing. Compared to that Cataclysm, what's the war in the Central Plains?"
Ren Xiaosu sighed. In fact, from their respective standpoints, neither side was wrong.
The dining room became silent, and no one spoke anymore. Ren Xiaosu lowered his head and ate, making it clear he did not want to argue anymore.
Once the three matters were settled, he would naturally leave the Wang Clan.
The dishes were exquisite, so exquisite that Ren Xiaosu could not bear to eat them. However, Ren Xiaosu felt that the essence of food was not to look good but to fill one's stomach.
People who lived in the wilderness also had a much more simple taste in food.
"Do you have noodles?" Ren Xiaosu asked. "Make me a big bowl of noodles."
Wang Shengzhi looked at Ren Xiaosu and sighed in his heart. This might be Ren Xiaosu's way of expressing that people of different beliefs could not work together.
So was Ren Xiaosu really hinting at something?
No, he just wanted to eat noodles.
