Chapter 975 Choice and Sacrifice


    What do you want to do?


    ? Ren Man, who was standing next to Gao Xiaoyan, and Zhao Jie, who had entered the Bird Tower long before Xu Huo collected the space barrier props but was detained on the second floor, also wanted to ask this question.


    Compared with Ren Man''s sudden impact, his heart had been half cold since the confrontation between Xu Huo and Luo Changren. Xu Huo and Luo Changren were outsiders, and he was controlled in the Bird Tower. What he heard may not be the truth. Yes, but Gao Xiaoyan''s current attitude has to make people suspicious.


    “I said before I left the government office that I would help Mayor Gao with this.” Xu Huo smiled slightly, “Now I am just fulfilling my promise.”


    “You should know the password of the Bird Tower, right? Isn’t the purpose of keeping the Bird Tower to save people?”


    "Is the antidote you are holding in your hand a real antidote?" Gao Xiaoyan is not stupid. "The SE virus is not hereditary and was born by accident. As far as I know, Luo Changren went straight to the Bird Tower after arriving at W37. This antidote It should have been hidden in the Bird Tower for a long time, right? No base station has yet developed an antidote for the SE virus. Is his antidote reliable?"


    “In addition, he is not trustworthy. The evolutionary agent that was originally claimed to be able to improve genes has become a gene-destroying agent. How do I know that this thing will not repeat the SE virus incident?”


    ?This is the normal thought of normal people. There is no need to verify the authenticity of the antidote. Just the fact that it was taken out of Luo Changren''s hand is enough reason to doubt its authenticity.


    "That''s easy, just find someone to try." Xu Huo made an offer that Gao Xiaoyan couldn''t refuse, "You can find someone who is infected."


    Gao Xiaoyan really couldn''t refuse, so he nodded to the Lou family outside.


    The Lou family turned on the closed communication device and asked the pony-tailed man who was not far away to find an infected person and send it in.


    ?The streets were full of infected people, and it was not difficult to find someone. Soon a seven or eight-year-old girl was brought over.


    Gao Xiaoyan took the small half of the injection that Xu Huo drew out of the antidote and looked at it with suspicion, "Is it really useful? What if the person dies?"


    ?Xu Huo pointed to Shangguan Xi and the others next to him, "There are so many people, you pick one to kill. Or you can kill the culprit."


    No one can laugh at the current joke anyway, and the little girl Gao Xiaoyan is holding is already semi-conscious, and she cannot last long in this state.


    But Gao Xiaoyan held the needle and did not start.


    Xu Huo did not rush her and waited for her decision.


    "Sister..." the little girl called her in a daze.


    ??The blue injection was pierced on her arm. In just a few seconds, the little girl''s condition improved at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the blueness on her lips also faded a lot.


    “The antidote works!” Ren Man said in surprise.


    Luo Changren and Shangguan Xi know best whether there is an antidote. The SE virus had directly killed players in the past. I didn''t expect Xu Huo to have a direct antidote. The effect is so fast, which is enough to prove that the level of this antidote is not low. .


    He really has it and is really willing to give it up.


    Gao Xiaoyan handed the little girl to Ren Man and turned around to face Xu Huo. He suddenly raised his right hand and shook the bracelet on her wrist. Two white barriers that reached the ceiling appeared beside her. The barriers moved forward, only Xu Huo was locked inside, cutting off the sight of the outside world as well as sound.


    Looking at each other, Xu Huexian spoke, "The number on the big screen now is 219. When the infected people start to become seriously ill, this number will skyrocket."


    Gao Xiaoyan''s face was cold and hard, "W37 can no longer support so many people. There are too many people and few resources. If you want some people to survive, you have to sacrifice others. Otherwise, the situation that Base City finally created will be destroyed. By then, not only will More people will die, and more people’s hopes will be destroyed.” “From the perspective of the government office, what you said is correct.” Xu Huo nodded slightly, “But there is a problem, who will decide the living part. The sacrifice part?”


    “You think that the ordinary residents of the base city and the people in the quarantine area have no value, so they can be sacrificed.”


    “But they certainly don’t think so.”


    "No one wants to die, especially those who are struggling at the base." Gao Xiaoyan said: "In order to avoid the worst result, the government department can only be the villain. We cannot decide the life or death of others, but we have a choice rights.”


    “When this choice is in my hands, I have the right to give up which part of the people.”


    “Don’t tell me that the lives of ordinary people and players are the same. If you really have to sacrifice a player to replace an ordinary person, who would think it’s worth it?”


    Xu Huo thought of Gao Chunfeng. In order to save his relatives, he knelt down and begged for mercy from several murderers, but died miserably after his feet were cut off. The moment he knelt down, he should have known that those players would not let them go, but until He didn''t escape even to death.


    Whether it is worth it or not is not decided by outsiders.


    Similarly, it is not up to him to decide whether the choice and sacrifice of W37 is worth it or whether it is right.


    “The main point of docking one’s tail is to survive.” He said: “It’s just to keep yourself alive. There is no need to come up with a lot of reasons. This is not shameful.”


    “But you might consider using an antidote.”


    “Are you 100% sure whether the original sample of SE virus is controllable?”


    “How do you plan to end this situation if it becomes the first virus outbreak?”


    “Also, you are not the only one who should have the original sample of the SE virus. Will other base cities follow suit after the news of W37 infection spreads?”


    "In an environment like a base station, W37 should not be the only one with a heavy burden. Even if you can control the situation in the base city, can you prevent and control the viruses spread from other base cities? There will not be anything like 02 Base City Players coming to town?”


    “If the virus cannot be controlled in a short period of time, and if other base cities also break out, will W37 be besieged like 01 Base City afterwards?”


    Gao Xiaoyan didn''t have many emotional ups and downs after hearing these questions. She had obviously considered these situations before making a decision. She said: "Everything has risks. If an irreversible situation really happens, then you can only blame the gods." On the W37 side.”


    ?Her attitude shows that she and the top officials in the government department are determined to put the ship behind them.


    Xu Huo was silent. Without Gao Xiaoyan''s cooperation, it would be difficult to efficiently distribute the antidote to the whole city. There were too many people, and the antidote he currently deployed was far from enough for one-on-one detoxification. W37''s water supply system was divided into sixteen branches. , even through the reservoir, there is no guarantee that everyone in the city will drink the water with the antidote, especially since the reservoir is also under the surveillance of the players, and he, Shang Guanxi and others may not be able to successfully escape the tracking of Gao Xiaoyan and others.


    It is not easy to do something, but it is too easy to do something bad.


    “Do many people know about this?” he asked.
