Chapter 298 Betrayal
Tan Xin looked at her deeply, said nothing more, and walked straight to the fourth floor. At the same time, the red-haired woman walked out of the passage and walked to the upper floor, their bodies staggered away from each other.
When Tan Xin came to the intersection on the fourth floor, he glanced at the empty right side, which was where Laboratory 0 was located.
Then he turned and walked to the left.
After passing through a dark road leading to the underground, Tan Xin finally stood in front of a thick metal door. He entered a series of secret commands, opened the door and walked inside.
Behind the door is a closed underground space, with undecorated gray load-bearing columns standing in it. In this boring rough room, a figure is holding a table tennis racket and flapping it against the wall.
"Leader." Tan Xin said calmly.
"You came?"
The leader glanced at him, and during this brief distraction, the ping-pong racket missed the fallen ping-pong ball, which clattered to the ground.
"I already know what's going on outside." The leader spoke slowly while picking up the ball, "The cold disaster has caused heavy losses in Aurora City. Some souls have floated out of the body and gradually dissipated. The souls for Aurora Lord to absorb are being There are fewer and fewer, and the recovery plan must be started as soon as possible, otherwise the success rate will be even lower. ”
"I came here today to discuss this matter with you."
"oh?"
Tan Xin took a deep breath, "I don't agree with the reappearance plan."
The leader's movements paused slightly, and he looked at Tan Xin in surprise, his voice still calm, "Why?"
"If you lose, you lose." Tan Xin said in a deep voice, "In the past three hundred years, the Aurora Base has achieved almost no results. The reappearance plan has not been proposed, and there is no possibility of success. We have not been able to find a way out for mankind, and we have not been able to find a way out for mankind. If we fail to maintain the Aurora Realm, we have failed.”
"so what?"
"If you fail, you should stop the loss in time. I think there is no need to implement the repeated plan. It is just a fig leaf for the Aurora Base to cover up its own failure."
The leader looked at him for a long time and sighed, "So, you still haven't given up on the Redemption Hand plan."
"At least, it can keep the more than three million people in Aurora City alive. The Aurora Realm will not completely disappear. We can't do it. Maybe other realms can do it. If they find a way to save everything, at least Aurora City There is still a possibility of recurrence but if the execution of the recurrence plan fails now, we will have nothing.”
The leader did not answer. He silently walked to the wall of the room, looked at the snowy scene outside the window painted with colored chalk, and spoke slowly:
"Tan Xin, do you still remember what I taught you back then?"
"The destiny of mankind is always above all individuals."
"Among the batch of children back then, you had the most decisive character and the coldest determination. Everyone thought you were the best seed, but I know very well that your heart is softer than everyone else." The leader looked back at him, "I thought you would make some progress when you grew up and became the vice president, but now it seems that you are still the same as when you were a child.
You are too emotional. "
"I have never been emotional. I know what I am doing is that you cannot accept the failure of Aurora Base. It is because your methods are extreme."
"You should know better than me what Aurora Lord means. Only if he lives in the Aurora Realm can he have the possibility of reappearing. Only then can we continue to study him and find hope for mankind's comeback from him. What he represents is the future of mankind!
From a human standpoint, as long as he can survive, it is worth sacrificing no matter how many people are sacrificed, no matter how slim the probability of success is.
But you want to sacrifice Lord Aurora? "
"We have spent three hundred years without getting any results from him. Even if we give him another three hundred years, three thousand years! When technology returns to the Stone Age, will we be able to gain anything? No, we can't gain anything! "Tan Xin took a deep breath and spoke word by word,
"Mr. Aurora is not the future of mankind, all mankind is."
The leader looked at Tan Xin, and Tan Xin looked at him without fear, and the air suddenly fell into dead silence.
"It seems that there is a conflict between our ideas." The leader said slowly, "But you should know that I am the one who represents the Aurora Base and is in charge of the destiny of mankind. As the maintainer of order sent to the surface from the base, According to the initial terms of Aurora Base No. 001, there is no qualification to participate in the final decision-making involving the fate of mankind.”
"I know."
"Then as the sole leader of Aurora Base, I will veto the Hand of Redemption plan."
Tan Xin looked at him quietly, seemingly not surprised by the result. After a complex look flashed deep in his eyes, he slowly raised one hand from his windbreaker.
The muzzle of a pitch-black gun was aimed at the leader's brow.
"Then I will betray Aurora Base."
boom!
Facing the leader who had single-handedly trained him, Tan Xin pulled the trigger without any hesitation. A beam of fire burst out, and the bullet pierced the leader's forehead in an instant!
The leader looked at him blankly, as if he did not expect that Tan Xin would betray the Aurora Base. After staggering into the wall behind him, he slowly collapsed and finally fell in front of the chalk painted window.
Scarlet blood flowed on the gray-white ground and spread to Tan Xin's feet. Almost at the same time, a soft sound came from the light bulb!
Snapped
The circuits of Aurora Base were paralyzed again, and the room fell into darkness and silence.
Tan Xin looked at the figure of the leader lying in the darkness, and closed her eyes unbearably. After a second, she slowly opened her eyes, regained her calmness and reason, and turned around to walk upstairs.
Just half a minute after he left, a perfect and seamless door was slowly pushed open in the corner of this closed room.
No one in Aurora Base knew that there was a dark room hidden in the leader's room, and an old figure who had lived in it for unknown years.
The figure was unkempt and his hair was messy. He glanced in the direction where Tan Xin left without expression. He didn't even lower his head to look at the body of the "leader" before turning back to the narrow dark room.
In the darkroom, there are only three items:
Toilet, bed, and one of the oldest sound-transmitting copper pipes.
The figure walked to the sound-transmitting copper pipe, opened the rusty cover, and sounded a voice so calm that there was no fluctuation:
"Deputy Chief of Law Enforcement Officer Tan Xin violated Clause No. 001 and betrayed the Aurora Base. He was listed as the most wanted target in the realm. All personnel will be attacked and killed by any means at any cost. The explosive detonator of the reappearance plan will be recovered within three hours.
Anyone who releases it privately shall be guilty of the same crime. "
