Virat, on the other hand, remained calm, as if he were unaware of Alex's emotional shifts. Virat looked at Alex once more and said: "As I previously stated, you are not required to choose. You are compelled to make such a decision. You should take your gaze away from a single individual and look at things from a broader perspective. Question. When the situation is at its worst, and the city of life can only accommodate two million people, I ask you: who will you choose as those who are eligible to enter the city of life if the situation is at its worst and the city of life can only accommodate two million people?"
"You pick people who are just like you? Although these two million people are all of ordinary character, there are still nearly seven billion people who are not qualified to survive in their current state. Since everyone is elected, why not choose people who are exceptional in their fields? Is there a truly outstanding individual who can better pass on human civilization?"
Alex wished to respond, but he was at a loss for what he should say. The words of Virat appear to make a great deal of sense... Since everyone has been chosen, why not choose people who are exceptional? It is, without a doubt, the most logical method of selecting outstanding individuals to join the city of life from the standpoint of maximizing profits. The benefits that exceptional people can derive from their survival are unquestionably greater than those that ordinary people can derive from their survival for the benefit of all human beings.
According to it, "also... In the planning of the city of life, outstanding people account for only one million places, and the remaining one million places are reserved for ordinary people." Virat expressed himself as follows: "When the great migration to the equator takes place, each person will have a small amount of blood drawn from a gene bank under the supervision of the Ministry of Scientific Research in order to analyze their genetic makeup. Genetic screening will be carried out following the collection of these gene data in a database. Those who have disease-causing genes will be eliminated from the population. Those who have genes will be eliminated, and those who have excellent genes will be chosen. This group of ordinary people with excellent survival genes will be further screened, and those with specific skills and those who are of prime age will be selected for the next round of screening, after which they will be merged together. The final round of screening will be based on data pertaining to the total population structure of the City of Life, as well as the gender ratio of men and women in the population structure. "At the end of the day, one million ordinary people will be chosen."
Assuming the 2 million people who entered the City of Life are exempt from death due to low temperatures and severe cold, the remaining 7 billion people are left with no choice but to die in the freezing temperatures and severe cold...?" Alex muttered to himself.
"You're absolutely correct." Virat smiled and nodded.
Alex took a deep breath and then turned his head to face the long street, which had become somewhat deserted by this point in the evening. The implementation of the equatorial project has almost immediately yielded results, resulting in the abandonment of this once-prosperous major metropolis in an instant. Despite this, there are still some people on the streets to be seen.
Alex noticed a couple walking down the street holding hands. Despite the fact that it was a warm summer night, both of them had already worn trousers and long shirts due to the chilly temperatures. After a short distance, the man in the couple lowered his head and whispered a few words into the girl's ear, after which he removed his jacket and gently placed it on the girl's shoulders.
A simple two-strand tight vest is worn underneath the man's jacket. His visible muscles can be seen beneath the tight vest he's wearing. The girl came to a complete stop and fixed her gaze on the man's chest, her eyes filled with tenderness. She looked at the man's chest as if she could see the entire world and the people who were supporting him.
The girl turned around and tightly hugged the man, and the man reciprocated by hugging the girl as well. Despite the fact that there was a force between heaven and earth that could separate them, the two clung to one another tightly.
Alex, on the other hand, was well aware of the force that could separate them. A man is selected in the genetic selection process and the girl is not selected, or a girl is selected in the genetic selection process and the man is not selected, or neither is selected...
Alex's heart appeared to have been touched in some way. Alex found himself unable to bear the sight of this couple.
"They are most likely unaware of their current situation... Is it possible that if the level of solar radiation does not improve, and if the City of Life plan is truly implemented, they will face a cruel future?"
"If the situation is truly at its worst... How many more people will be forced to live in misery around the world, as this couple has? There may be a husband and wife, a father and son, siblings, friends, and lovers among this group..."
As a matter of fact, to a certain extent, their fate rests in your hands as well." Virat appeared to be able to decipher what Alex was thinking. It was just at that moment that Virat spoke, and Alex's heart began to pound faster and faster.
"Do you want it in my hands?" Alex muttered under his breath.
"You're absolutely correct." Virat expressed himself as follows: "If Director Brad truly understands the solution to the problem, and you truly solve the puzzle that Brad has left for you, then... none of us will have to face the most difficult problem of our lives. Cruel decisions were made. It is not necessary to separate lovers, couples, parents and children, brothers and sisters, or friends. It is also not necessary to kill them all."
"I see what you're saying, let's go, let's go back." Alex gave a nod before turning around and walking away. Virat was the one who followed Alex. It was easy for Virat to see that Alex's black hair had a white streak running through it thanks to his keen vision. And Virat was very clear in his memory that these whites were not available the day before that.
