Chapter 492: The Trigger Is Pulled (Part 1)
Xingyuan quietly held a glass of wine, sitting in a dark corner, quietly scanning the faces under the emergency warm light. These faces were constantly changing. The faces in front of him gradually became blurred in his eyes, and then twisted, becoming like a hideous monster.
Xingyuan shook his head, everything around him became more and more distorted, colorful blocks of color entangled together, he was a little breathless, the sound in his ears began to gradually disappear, he covered his chest in pain.
Such a strange phenomenon made Xingyuan miserable. Since he started to set foot on this road, such a strange phenomenon would occur from time to time when he was under too much psychological pressure. Every time, Xingyuan would torture himself half to death. He knew in his heart that all the weirdness he saw was reality.
The burning pain in his chest and the wailing deep in his heart were only heard by himself. No one was stupid. People who could sit in this place had an average citizen level of 8 and stood at the top of the city pyramid.
Everyone present knew that there was a big problem in the Barrier District, so martial law was implemented in the city. In addition, with the existence of some rioters, it was impossible for the Operations Department to keep the internal affairs as usual when facing external pressure.
The congressmen had received a special exercise explanation from the General Affairs Department on their mobile phones, but this explanation was so unconvincing in the eyes of many people.
The massacre in the Barrier District 20 years ago caused a huge sensation. People in the city accused the Operations Department of the devil's behavior. Xingyuan did not speak at the time. He just watched this farce silently. Sure enough, no one was willing to mention it soon.
Except for less than 40% of the criminals in the Barrier District, the rest were losers in the city. They were directly expelled after the citizen level dropped to 0. Over the years, many new lives have been added.
The larger proportion of the population in the Barrier District is citizens who were expelled from the city, not criminals.
Destruction or survival, this is a huge problem facing everyone, and it is also a problem of survival for the majority and the minority. The supply of materials in the city cannot be unlimited in such a doomsday. For the majority, abandoning the minority sounds right and reasonable.
But in people's concept of good and evil, Xingyuan cannot admit its rationality and correctness. Many people in the city sneer at the barrier area, thinking that they are no different from bedbugs and hopeless, while the city is still supplying them with food. At the beginning of the second year, it is time to announce some information from the previous year.
Xingyuan still remembers that every time at this time, the most unified call is to cut off the food supply of the barrier area. In any era, there are people at the bottom who bear the ruthlessness of society, and in any era, there are people who stand in the name of justice and interfere without restraint.
It is obviously a good thing for the garbage of society to be swept away, but people are not garbage.
Xingyuan quietly pressed the wine glass, and his vague consciousness came back to his senses again. He stared coldly at the people around him who were still talking and laughing.
No matter when, people are hopeless.
The thing that Xingyuan was most worried about happened without any sign. The reason why he entered this circle was just to find some people who could work with him to solve the long-standing problems in the Barrier Zone. A few years ago, after learning about the plan to build an agricultural base in the Barrier Zone, Xingyuan felt that things would turn around, but gradually the plan was shelved again and again, and finally it was occasionally mentioned until now, but no one wants to ask about it now.
Many friends who met after entering the circle shook their heads after hearing about this plan.
Someone once said that good and evil have the same proportion in human nature, and the chances of evil suppressing good and good suppressing evil are equal. We are both angels and demons. If our nature could lean slightly to one side, then all social problems would have been solved centuries ago, but people are divided, so we can't be sure what we looked like at that time. At this time, the city allowed those social losers to survive in the Barrier Zone, and at that time, they brought weapons to crush everything in the Barrier Zone.
The ultimate contradiction that cannot be resolved is the contradiction between people, but in essence, no one is willing to extend a hand outside the barrier area.
It is impossible for everyone to join hands and move forward together. Only someone can stand up in such a difficult time, but that person is not Xingyuan. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. What he recalled in his mind was the little girl who began to argue with her colleagues after learning everything.
Maybe it's too late. If the child appeared earlier, there might be hope for the barrier area!
Xingyuan lowered his head with a bitter face, and he smelled a smell of smoke at this time.
"Mansha!"
A hand came over, Mansha exhaled a puff of smoke at Xingyuan, and Xingyuan coughed.
"Are you still holding on to such boring thoughts? I have told you before that people should be more realistic. This seemingly deformed and ruthless system carries the process of Brilliant City, the law of survival of the fittest, and the best method. Just don’t consider these issues. The human social process is inherently cruel. Even if you understand its essence, you still can’t find a reasonable solution. There can only be ways to adapt to society. Everything today is just for the majority of people. , the final result of abandoning the law of a few people, no one is willing to touch such cruel things, because human nature is like this, for cruel facts, they will selectively forget, as long as they live in the present, because human nature is Selfish!"
Mansha smoked a cigarette leisurely and looked at the lost man in front of her. She once loved this innocent man and appreciated everything about this man, but that was only in the past.
At this time, Xingyuan stared at Mansha in confusion. She seemed to know everything that was about to happen. She spoke to him in such a tone. This was the first conversation between the two of them in more than ten years, and Mansha's words Xingyuan was a little shocked.
"I didn't expect to hear such words from you, Mantha!"
"No one is stupid, no one is stupid. While he is saying that the bugs in the barrier area should be eliminated as soon as possible, at the same time, a part of his heart called conscience is praying for good things and human nature. They are emotional animals, otherwise those popcorn-like sensational films that tell the story of the beauty and magnificence of human nature can infect others. But people are powerless in the face of reality. This is the reality today. After tonight, I am afraid that the city There will be a new round of changes.”
Mansha said, stood up, turned around and started walking, Xingyuan quickly chased after her.
"Where are you going?"
Looking at Mansha who was about to leave the venue, Xingyuan asked.
"I have asked my bodyguard to pick me up. I will go to my private apartment in the film and television area. Do you want to come with me?"
Mansha smiled, and Xingyuan stared at her in confusion as she left the venue without looking back.
You have changed a lot, in ways that I didn’t notice at all, Mansha!
