Hearing this..,
Although the old man looked at the man in military uniform with displeasure, he did not reach out to pick up the gun that the other party had slapped in front of him. It was even more impossible for him to kill a high-ranking military official like Zuo Xing with one shot.
He looked at the expressions of the other people present and quickly confirmed in the eyes of his students that these guys were all-rounders... and even an old thing like him.
"In that case..."
"All of you can go ahead and do it. When the situation develops to the point of no return, a person will bear the title of a sinner for all eternity... It is indeed me, this old thing, who is too arrogant."
Seeing this..,
The man surnamed Zhou, who was once a student of the old man, could not help but feel a little sorry for his teacher's reaction. "Teacher, it's just that you think too much of everything. Perhaps this matter is far from that serious..."
"There's no need to say anymore..." when the old man saw that Zuo Xing had already returned to his seat 'satisfied', he couldn't even be bothered to look at Xiao Zhou, his former student.
"Since you've already made a decision, then just do it. Anyway, if you fail, the title of a sinner for all eternity will be borne by all of you together... When we meet again in the underground, at least we won't feel too lonely."
On the other side,
To think that he would be so happy to see his teacher …
The middle-aged man surnamed Zhou, who was present, could not help but begin to hesitate. "Teacher..."
However..,
The old man seemed to be completely disappointed in his student, so much so that he completely ignored the middle-aged man surnamed Zhou's face. Instead, he looked at Zuo Xing, who was the most agitated just now, and said,
"Little Zuo, you don't understand at all. What I've mentioned just now is actually a method that has no other way. It's the only way we can achieve our goal … and reduce all losses to the lowest possible level when we know that losses are unavoidable."
"Even though it does seem so unreasonable, at least there are people who are willing to bear the sins for it in the end..."
"With only three people and some necessary sacrifices, we can exchange for more than a hundred years in the future... No, even a certain range of permanent stability. Compared to that... this price is nothing."
As he said that..,
The old man ignored Zuo Xing, who was completely confused by this. Liu Xiaojiang's young face flashed in front of his eyes again. He could not help but slowly raise his head to look out of the window, he said,
"Mortals will always be mortals. They really can't be compared …"
However..,
Crack …
Just as everyone was puzzled by the old man's words, the old man's voice suddenly rang out.
The man surnamed Zhou suddenly changed his respectful attitude toward the old man. He stood up and took the pistol that Zuo Xing had slapped on the table in front of the old man. Then, under the watchful eyes of the others, he unlocked the safety and slowly raised the gun to aim at the old man that he was once so grateful to.
"Teacher, I need your support. I need you … to tell the descendants of your old friends about your true retirement."
"Old Zhou! Are you f * cking crazy?! "Seeing this, Zuo Xing almost immediately stood up and tried to grab the gun.
"Don't move!" The man surnamed Zhou placed his finger on the trigger and stopped Zuo Xing, who wanted to snatch the gun, and the two foreigners standing not far behind the old man.
"Actually, I've already thought about it before I came here. I want to seize the opportunity that Yinggou gave me and let everyone see that I, Zhou Hong … am not just a mouthpiece for you, Master. I will perfectly solve the problem caused by Yinggou and personally create a more harmonious society."
As he said that..,
He held the gun and looked at the expressionless old man, he said, "Teacher, you're already old. You should have retired long ago and let me be filial to you. Do you know … how much of an eyesore you will be to me if you stay here and don't leave?!"
Hearing this..,
The old man looked at the muzzle of the gun that he was facing and Zhou Hong, who was threatening him with the gun, and said,
"This … is the reason why I'm unwilling to retire. After all, you're still that idealist from back then. You don't understand the things that this world pays attention to. It's not only better for the world to agree with one idea."
"Besides …"
At this point..,
The old man smiled and shook his head at Zhou Hong. "Although the idea in your heart is good, it's not realistic at all now. It's even ridiculous … the me that you don't agree with now, and the things that I mentioned just now, are instead helping you fulfill those unrealistic ideals."
"No!" Zhou Hong said with a frown.
"It's precisely because I don't doubt Teacher's ability that I'm unwilling to agree with it like Zuo Xing and the others. To lead to an ideal … to a beautiful future, one shouldn't step on the corpses of countless people. This isn't the chaotic world of the past. No matter how bad the situation is, one shouldn't embark on this bloody path."
"After all, even if in the end, the perfect harmony that generations of people have hoped for is achieved through this method, those people who live in a beautiful future … will really feel at ease?"
"They will …" the old man smiled.
"Think about the attitude of some people towards those heroes in the past … and you'll understand, right?"
"And …"
"This is even under the circumstances where they know everything from back then. Many people don't think that their current life is so precious. On one hand, it's because the current situation is indeed not perfect enough. But on the other hand … it's also because they only know and only want to see themselves."
"I believe that as long as we can live a better life in the future … everything will not be a problem."
"This is not fair …" Zhou Hong's firm eyes showed some complexity.
"Everyone should work hard together …"
"Beauty should also be built by everyone …"
"If you want me, you … and us to sacrifice in exchange for a better future, I will never choose to stop you. But the people you want to sacrifice … are those ordinary people who don't know anything."
"No matter if it's the Inhumans or the ordinary people in this world, as long as they don't commit crimes … everyone is the same. These people who have to make sacrifices … have the right to live in a better future, and not unknowingly sacrifice for the future."
"Then …" the old man looked at Zhou Hong with a slightly sarcastic gaze and said, "Do you want everyone to go to hell together?"
"Kid, you have to know …"
"There's no way Yinggou is going to negotiate with us about who should die, and who should be given a chance to live in the future. His purge … is targeting all of us. Don't tell me you have a way to ensure that you won't suffer any losses when you face him?"
As soon as his voice fell.
The old man saw that Zhou Hong's face was full of bewilderment. He couldn't help but shake his head and sigh helplessly again.
"Your thoughts are not annoying, but … this kind of greedy thinking for both the fish and the bear's paw is still too naive."
"We're not playing house. What we're facing now … is a disaster that is enough to destroy everyone."
"It's indeed enough to make anyone feel distressed when it comes to big things. But adults shouldn't hesitate for too long when they have to make a choice. If you want both the fish and the bear's paw … isn't that the same as completely giving up on thinking and acting based only on the desire born of ideas?"
"You're born as a human, but you act like a beast. Can you bear the consequences of following such behavior?!"
