Chapter 160
Author: Captain of the Youth First Crazy Squad
Although the probability of a plan with a high survival rate is quite low, the probability that she is protecting everyone without casualties is like a miracle in itself.
Therefore, she still wants to know the plan that Luomena can make everyone survive.
....................
....................
In fact, from the beginning, Luo Mo had a plan to let as many people survive as possible, but he didn't plan to say it at first.
It's not that he wants to see people die or something, except that he doesn't want to waste his energy.... He mainly thinks that Song Ye can't agree to it, and other people will not agree to it normally. From a theoretical point of view, it is a cruel plan.
Because his plan - based on sacrifice, in short, is to let people take the initiative to die.
This plan can only be established if you die voluntarily.
It's just that he has to take a certain risk.... Therefore, he has a certain selfishness even if he doesn't say it, but he is also very sure that Utano will not agree to use people as consumables.
After the communication ended, Luo Mo and Song Ye came to the participation hall on the side, and said casually in Song Ye's expectant eyes:
"Actually, my plan is very simple."
"Tell me about it."
"Stardust is sent by the gods to clean the world. It has the characteristics of attacking people and has a certain intelligence, so the more people there are, the more priority it will be... If there is no such trouble as enchantment, you should know this?"
"know (know), but what's the matter?"
"It's very simple. Wouldn't it be better to let the extra people become bait voluntarily? When the enchantment collapses, divide it into two groups, one group will be protected by me, and the other will be protected by you. I protect more, and you protect less. , I will try to delay the time as much as possible."
"if that's the case....."
"Of course, the bait dispatched at one time, even if I am here, can't be dragged on for too long, so when they kill all the people they are chasing after you, the other half of the smaller group needs to be divided into two groups in advance or even More, in short, the more bait the better, and you only need to focus on protecting the very few that are valuable."
When Ge Ye subconsciously wanted to say something, Luo Mo decisively interrupted her to continue to explain her plan, completely ignoring her pale face the more she listened:
"The rest of the people are still used as bait on the way, using them to divert the stardust they encountered along the way. After all, it's hard to say how many times it will eventually be diverted on such a long road, so the last small group of people who are constantly weathering, There is still a good chance of surviving."
"......"
In the face of such a direct use of most of the people as bait, it is equivalent to the plan to let more than 99% of others die by themselves, making Ue Ye and the witch water beside him silent.
They all seemed to be silent, but Luo Mo looked as expected, without the slightest surprise.
After all, he thought it was impossible for these brave men to adopt a plan like his own. Even if they took a step back and adopted it, the sacrificed person would not agree with him, so he took the initiative to say that he would drag himself into the water, and he would have to plan to take risks.
It's not a relative, so why would he risk death for others when he has nothing to do? After all these years, if he still has such a spirit of selfless dedication... the grass on the grave is taller than himself.
Of course, if everyone agrees, he doesn't care and doesn't plan to go back on it.... Isn't it just death? Since these people are not afraid of death, what's the big deal to accompany them to die twice? As if willing to gamble to admit defeat.
"However, this is impossible no matter how you think about it~" He nibbled at the cucumber and glanced at the two girls, shook his head with a smile, and said casually:
"Just listen to this plan. I also know that you will not agree to such a plan. By the way, Shuidu, how long is the slightly delayed attack in the oracle?"
"...The initial attack will start in two and a half hours." The girl in the shrine maiden's costume grabbed Uana's hand and told the oracle with a trembling voice.
"It looks like there's plenty of time, and I'm almost ready to go." Luo Mo nodded knowingly, stood up and looked at Ge Ye and said:
"Fight well, I will record your fighting, and show it to the five little guys in Shikoku, let them know what their friends look like, and also boost their enthusiasm for training. "
"—Isn't it okay! Are there reinforcements?!" Facing his attitude of wanting to leave without any nostalgia at all, and then looking at his lost friend, there was something in Shuidu's heart that was difficult to vent. Emotional, angrily stood up and shouted at him:
"You liars! Three years ago, you said that you will have reinforcements for one year, and now three years have passed?! So far, I have only seen you as an irresponsible guy!! What do you think?! What do you think? Are you suppressing and watching us die!? Suwa.... Songnon (Song Ye) really can't take it anymore this time!!"
"Even if you tell me this.... It's not my decision. If you want to complain, you should complain to the people from the big club."
"Aren't you a member of the Great Society, aren't you a representative of God! Who am I not looking for?"
"Your god?"
"—Do you think I don't want to? The dialogue between man and the gods is only one-sided! The gods sent an oracle to the priestess, that's all! If you are really an angel! You should talk to the gods! Let him save you Save Ganon and Suwa!"
"Well~ To be honest, the divine tree really wants to save people."
"So.....!"
"But his body has just been defeated. Now things have developed to a stage similar to a proxy war. If he shoots directly, it is estimated that he will be completely defeated, and then human beings will be completely destroyed." Luo Mo smiled and calmly explained the situation of the god tree. When I told Shuidu, the anger on his face froze.
A moving expression appeared on Ueno's face on the side, and when he was about to say something, Shuidu took the first step and yelled loudly:
"—What about you! Are you an angel!? At least you can take Gonnon away! Why should you go alone?"
"It's not my decision, and I'm innocent if you say that."
"If she doesn't agree, knock her out!"
"That...A Shui, am I still by my side?" Song Ye raised his hand slowly with an innocent look on his face.
"What does it matter! Anyway, I have already hidden the sacrificial utensils and battle clothes! You are no longer able to fight!"
"A Shui... Did you plan this way from the beginning?"
"You have done enough. You have fought for three years for us who would have died three years ago. Now you should live for yourself!" Shui Du tried his best to suppress his trembling voice, facing his best friend. Say something similar to betrayal, but the substance is full of deep emotion.
Luo Mo, who unknowingly became a passerby, did not look at the atmosphere at all, still eating cucumbers there, nodding and sighing:
"It's a good sisterhood, so... Song Ye, what are you going to do? Stay here and die together, or..."
"...Use." Song Ye closed his eyes and slowly revealed his determination.
"what?"
"I adopted your plan."
"Ah, wait!" Luo Mo, who was suppressing Song Ye's teasing in every way, was a little flustered for the first time and couldn't help but say:
"Calm down first, what's the point of adopting it yourself? It's just that it's useless for you to adopt it? The premise of this plan is that everyone can cooperate tacitly, otherwise the whole army will be wiped out?"
"I know, so.... I'm starting to prepare now. Since there is still a chance, since I can save more people... It depends on what everyone thinks." Song Ye was also unequivocal, and immediately looked at Shuidu on the side: "Take out everything, I'm going to ask someone to adjust the liaison room now."
"But....."
"obedient!"
"....I see."
Under Ueno's rare tough attitude, Shui did not insist on his own opinion.
After all, the adoption of Luo Mo's plan also means that Ge Ye is the most likely person to survive, which is enough for her.
And Ge Ye also looked at Luo Mo again at this time, lowered his voice, and asked in a warm tone:
"You don't believe that everyone will voluntarily die, from the beginning to the end? You don't believe in the courage of human beings at all."
"Not really. Maybe some people are willing, but most of them definitely won't. After all, greed and selfishness are human instincts. The instinct of genetic survival will hinder the idea of seeking death. After three years of living, you will definitely want to live again. Three years, ten years." Luo Mo smiled and shrugged: "So you can try anyway, you won't succeed anyway."
"...Greed and selfishness are human instincts... Indeed, you have a good understanding of human beings, but please don't underestimate human beings! The so-called human beings! Even if they are usually cowardly and selfish! But in They can also die resolutely when necessary!!"
"Really? Then I'll wait and see, act quickly~ After all, you don't have much time."
He seemed very disapproving of the girl who yelled at him as if expressing his feelings, and continued eating cucumbers with a calm expression.
But.... In fact, he was actually quite depressed in his heart.
After all, he is not a real angel, he is also a human being, and most of the brave girls beside him are also existences who can resolutely die. Now even if you tell yourself about the greatness of human beings.... What is this?
.............
After leaving the Hall of Participation, Shiratori Utano and Fujimori Mizuto, the team of heroes and priestess, immediately acted.
The technicians who were on standby near the shrine were also called, and they quickly adjusted the communication equipment and added the last fuel to the municipal backup generator.
The entire city was quickly restored to power, and as the emergency channel was activated, Song Ye appeared on everyone's TVs, and voices appeared from the radio and radio.
"Everyone, I'm sorry to disturb you all at this time, to be honest with us.... Suwa will perish in two hours. This time everything may really be over. There is no way to continue to protect everyone. It's my incompetence. , I'm here to apologize to everyone - I'm really, really sorry!"
"However, I am passing the news to you this time, not only to apologize to you, but also to say something very important."
"Although the destruction is irreversible, we still have a glimmer of hope! I hope you can support this. Although most people may be sleeping here today, this will also become our future....even the future of mankind. Cornerstone!"
......
Through radio, TV, and radio, Utano poured out the emotions that he had been accumulating in his heart, and gave his final speech to the whole of Suwa City.
At first, people's faces showed panic and sad expressions, but when they heard what she said next, they gradually regained their calm with a wry smile.
"—Let's fight! Even if you can only use your life as a bargaining chip! Even if victory is impossible! For the last hope! We must fight! Let the gods in the sky see the courage of our human beings!! Let them understand! We are not just A coward who will tremble in the barrier!! Even if there is no way to resist! At least the way to die is up to us!!"
Chapter 14 Super-large reverse elimination?
At the end of Shiratori Utano's speech, his voice gradually became hoarse.
Her face was dripping with sweat from the excited speech, and she was almost moved, but when she calmed down in her heart, she couldn't help but smile bitterly.
That's right, even if she spoke loudly and impassively to the masses and Luo Mo, she herself didn't have much confidence in herself.
It was a miracle in itself that it was on the verge of extinction several times, but all survived and survived, and now it is more difficult to achieve it than ordinary miracles if others take the initiative to sacrifice.
Therefore, after telling everything, she slumped on the chair, closed her eyes and waited for the moment of verdict... Or, after telling the facts that she had been hiding, the entire city was in chaos at the moment before its demise.
After all, even if she doesn't want to admit it, she doesn't think that there are too many people who can survive in the end. She is willing to do it for the sake of those who are probably not her family and friends, but who live in the same city but are called strangers. Human life to die.
But.... the city is indeed chaotic, but it does not match the chaos she expected.
After a brief riot, the people who seemed to have finished saying goodbye walked out of their homes one after another and divided into two teams as required.
A group of people with a relatively older average age took nothing with them to the north of the city, and another group of people carried their luggage to the south of the city.
"Everyone....why..." Ueno looked at the endless crowd in the surveillance, and he couldn't believe what he saw.
The old technician next to him laughed: "Compared to being slaughtered for nothing, at least for someone to die handsomely at the end, life and death will have meaning... I think so, everyone probably I thought so too."
"...Why did it become like this? Don't these people know the probability? It's very likely that their own children will eventually be abandoned. Don't the people who will be abandoned know it??"
Luo Mo looked at the two groups of people under surveillance, and his mood was quite complicated, as if he had lost to them from the bottom of his heart, and crouched on the ground with his head in his arms, as if he was thinking about life.
But... if he read it right, the faces of some voluntary sacrificers are far from despair and helplessness and tragic.
But he didn't point out the problem, and the elderly technician smiled proudly:
"Lord Angel, you won't understand, everyone's trust in Ueye-sama is not just talk; even if it's your family's turn to die in the end, it's just a matter of no other way, at least your own death will make your family live longer. For a while, such a death must have made sense."
".... I can only understand a small part of it. It's strange that most of the people can understand it." Thinking of the relief on the faces of those who really wanted to believe Song Ye, Luo Mo really couldn't understand why those people Will be willing to believe that illusory hope: "Ignore the small probability, from the result, their death is doomed, then it is better to wait at home with family members to die, at least to be able to spend more time with family members."
"Even if it's a tiny probability, if it's Uta-sama, it will definitely magnify the probability infinitely."
"...How about you? What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to go home first, and then go to the north." The technician smiled and looked at Mizuno, and bowed deeply to her: "Lord Mizuno, thank you for your protection over the years, those children will ask you already."
"Leave it to me! I will definitely....never let your life go to waste!"
"Yes, I believe you."
After that, the technician turned around and left.
.................
.................
At the moment when Shui Du went to fetch the hidden things and prepared food for them, only Luo Mo and Shiratori Utano were left in the room.
And Ue Ye looked at the direction where the old man was leaving, looking at the direction of the old man's departure. After a long silence, he looked at Luo Mo, who was still thinking about life on the ground, and couldn't help showing a proud smile:
"Now you should understand, the greatness of human beings."
"It's a miscalculation of mine, but..."
In fact, Luo Mo has never doubted the courage of human beings. When necessary, people can really do nothing. He knows this better than anyone else.
But while looking at the desperate and helpless faces on the surveillance screen, he thought of the biggest loophole in the plan that he had no time and could only rely on voluntary allocation.
He has no doubts that those helpless old people are regarded as burdens by their unfilial children and forced to become bait.
And without random screening, it's all conscious, even though Song Ye has protected this place for three years, most of the people here have been saved by Song Ye, but the white-eyed wolf type people can't be eradicated in any world.
Those who are equally affectionate and righteous are willing to acknowledge their gratitude and hope to repay it, but it is precisely because they want to repay their gratitude and believe in their benefactors that the most worthy of living will die first.
Therefore, if you constantly rely on self-consciousness to sacrifice others, the whole process is not equivalent to constantly screening out high-quality people, removing the essence and taking the dross, and finally the remaining people.... What kind of people should they be? Scum? Is this the scum contest for the scum king?
However, there is a high probability that there is no way to screen out the king of scum, because good people keep sacrificing, and the team that relies on sacrifice to continue is very likely to be unable to last until the later stage, and only a lot of dross will be left to compete in the mid-term.
This is simply a super-large human tragedy, the reverse elimination of bad money after good money, and this phenomenon.... Or is it caused by him?
Song Ye believed in the goodness of human beings, but Luo Mo, who knew the evil of human beings, really didn't know what to say at this moment.
But... it really makes him feel very uncomfortable if a group of people who have the courage to sacrifice and sacrifice their lives to save a group of scumbags.
