Evolution Beyond the Stars Volume 1 The Beginning of Eden 01123 After starting a fire and dousing everything in the warehouse with gasoline, Zhao Jie and Lao Xu circled the warehouse twice more.
After everything was done, Zhao Jie wiped his sweat and asked Lao Xu, "What do you think Gege is?"
Lao Xu is exhausted. Although his physical condition is much better now than at the beginning of the year, he is still not as good as Zhao Jie. He is sitting on the ground panting heavily.
"What"
"Let me tell you, what do you think this Yougege is like?"
Lao Xu has long thought about the question "What's the origin?"
When You Gege found him, he said that he was very interested in the small program he was making, and then gave Lao Xu a lot of suggestions. Lao Xu benefited a lot from them, so he took a new look at You Gege and eventually became a middleman.
Introduced You Gege to Zhao Jie.
Today, it seems that all these accidents imply many inevitable connections.
In the past, Lao Xu only thought that You Gege was a genius girl.
But now he feels that Yougege is one of those people with clear goals and terrifyingly thoughtful thoughts.
Not only does she possess abilities and ideas far beyond the average level of current society, she also has extraordinary willpower and control abilities.
And she is only nineteen years old now.
"Maybe he's a time traveler," Lao Xu smiled.
Zhao Jie was stunned for a moment, then he also laughed: "That makes sense, otherwise I really doubt myself a little bit. When I was nineteen years old, I was still hesitating whether to go to college."
But Lao Xu shook his head, "Those are not important anymore. It's not that difficult to admit that others are good."
"Just what"
"It's just that I feel that Gege's ideas may be far beyond the reach of ordinary people like us." Lao Xu smiled mockingly to himself.
Zhao Jie was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Being a human in this world is nothing more than mundane things. Can she escape from it?"
Lao Xu asked, "Then who do you think can influence an era?"
Zhao Jie thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I don't know, anyway, I'm not that kind of person."
"Ha" Lao Xu smiled and lit the cigarette. "When everyone is busy adapting to the times, or busy making trouble for the mistakes they made together, there are always some people who are always sober.
People’s heights and the way they see the world are different from ours.”
Speaking of this, Lao Xu raised his head and looked at the sky and said, "Some people have good eyesight and low skills, but in fact they are still floating in this world. They are just a little high-spirited and have no practical life experience. But some people raised their heads and looked at the sky.
I can feel my own insignificance and the vastness of the universe.”
Taking a puff of cigarette, Lao Xu continued, "It's not that a mediocre life is useless, but that in this secular world, one should also clearly understand oneself, understand the world, perceive the universe, and perceive the meaning of existence."
Zhao Jie smiled disdainfully when he heard this, "I don't have such a high level of awareness. What's more, what's the point of sensing it? Isn't it because I have to run around for trivial matters such as food, rice, oil and salt? Can figuring out how the universe was born solve the problem of food and clothing? Look at the stars.
Can the moon see what my wife looks like? The secular world allows you to live freely, but you always speak with disgust. I tell you, this is not called noble, this is called a bastard."
Lao Xu was startled after hearing this, and then burst into laughter.
He usually doesn't smoke much, but this smile made him cough for a long time.
Zhao Jie patted him on the back, and when Lao Xu felt relieved, he nodded and said, "Yes, even if the world allows me to be free, I still hate all the things in this world. This is indeed not considered noble. I can only be a bastard, but there are bastards too."
Bastard’s ideal, it’s okay if our goals are somewhat different, and we won’t interfere with each other.”
Zhao Jie frowned, feeling that there was something in his words.
"You really plan to follow her all the time"
Lao Xu nodded, "Well, my parents are gone, and those who love me are gone. I only have this little pursuit left, and I can't give up."
Zhao Jie sighed, "Brother, in fact, there are happy things in this world, and you don't have to accept death. What's more, you made a lot of money from her when you came back from this trip. With this money, you can live well in China."
As long as you are willing, the house, car, wife, and children are not a problem. Why do you have to follow her and keep going? You will die."
But Lao Xu shook his head, "Except for the children, everyone else has experienced it more or less. Now I just want to live my own life by walking a path that no one has ever walked before."
"Live your life, I think you have been poisoned by her." Zhao Jie also lit the cigarette and looked at the time.
It was already eleven thirty-seven at night, and it would be midnight in less than half an hour.
"Hello"
"Um"
"Do you know what she made me do during your absence?"
Lao Xu shook his head.
"She asked us to use that set of source codes to prepare surprises all over the world, and we are just waiting for the time to come to plunge the whole world into a carnival," Zhao Jie said from the bottom of his heart.
Lao Xu was not surprised. He stood up and leaned on the car, looking at the warehouse in the distance and said, "The winner is the king, the loser is the bandit. Throughout the ages, those who had ideals, goals, determination, and resolute actions have either become legends who will leave their name in history."
, or become sinners who will be infamy for thousands of years. When the relative legend is born, those who follow the old ways become villains. When sinners are convicted, those who are greedy for stability become the guardians of order. Haha."
Lao Xu smiled, his expression full of disdain and ridicule.
"And all of these are contradictory spirals, which are inevitable and truly correct in the development of society. Those who can withstand the test will win and become legends, while those who lose should also be regarded as sinners because their abilities are insufficient.
To change the world," Lao Xu's words become more and more dangerous.
Zhao Jie heard clearly. He was silent for a while and then asked, "Then how do you make sure that the path you choose now is the path to becoming a legend?"
Lao Xu shook his head and said with a smile, "I'm not sure, and I don't know whether this path is right or wrong."
"Then what do you mean?"
"But so what? Only the weak will strive for perfection. The real strong will always complete the goal first. What's more, didn't I say it? There is no need to define who is right and who is wrong at this time. When it comes to the real showdown,
Whatever the winning side does is right, and whatever the losing side insists on is wrong."
After hearing this, Zhao Jie did not agree with this view. At the same time, he was even more certain that Yougege had brainwashed Laoxu and led him into an extremely dangerous whirlpool.
"What about us?" Zhao Jie asked.
"us"
"Yes, we commoners are the chess pieces that you can sacrifice at will when you play games."
Lao Xu smiled coldly and said, "Throughout the ages, one general has always achieved great success, but have you ever seen a period of history that criticized these generals for sacrificing the lives and happiness of many soldiers and innocent people for victory?"
"That was before, not now"
"Not now," Lao Xu sneered, "You don't really believe that Western liberalism can infinitely magnify personal value, do you?"
Zhao Jie stopped talking. It was not that he was unable to refute, but that he felt that such an argument was meaningless.
"Let me tell you a more cruel reality." Lao Xu's eyes were profound. He stared at the full moon in the night sky and said, "When society needs you, or when you are still valuable to the world, your
Value exists, but when you have no value, it is impossible to rely on humanism alone. The weak can only gain sympathy from the weak. Only the strong can gain respect. Just watch. In a few decades, many people will
When they are declared to no longer have personal value, they will find that they do not even have the ability to fight. At that time, elimination is just a common concept and the high-level human society of the elite will be the reality of the future."
Zhao Jie was stunned. Although he still disagreed and didn't understand a lot, Lao Xu's words seemed to have some kind of terrible magic power.
No matter how much Zhao Jie didn't want to think about it or listen to it, he couldn't deny from the bottom of his heart that he felt shuddering.
At that moment, Zhao Jie suddenly thought of his parents and grandfather
Zhao Jie's parents both graduated from junior high school, but in the Internet age, they have been eliminated, not to mention his grandfather.
The progress of the times is accelerating.
Zhao Jie now felt that he was standing in front, but at the same time he felt more clearly the surging tide behind him.
Yougege's mysterious code has sounded the alarm for him.
Maybe Lao Xu is right
However, Zhao Jie always felt a sense of resistance in his heart.
There are still ten minutes until midnight.
During these ten minutes, neither Zhao Jie nor Lao Xu spoke.
Both of them were silent, looking at the sky in the night wind.
Lao Xu held a pebble in his hand, and he would throw it up and catch it from time to time.
"It's time." Lao Xu said.
Zhao Jie came to his senses, took out his lighter, lit it, and then threw it forward.
The smell of gasoline in the air instantly turned into flames, and the warehouse howled in flames.
When the flames ignited, Lao Xu and Zhao Jie had already driven away.
However, they did not return to the city, but went straight to the suburbs.
After arriving near Pan'an Lake, Lao Xu got out of the car.
Then Zhao Jie stepped on the accelerator and drove the car into this artificial lake formed by coal mining collapse.
A week later, Lao Xu, who returned to Nanjing, took a walk with You Gege by the Yangtze River.
Reports on the fire in the suburbs of Xuzhou and the death of Zhao Jie, who drove drunk and fell into the lake in Pan'an Lake and drowned, were reported a few days ago.
You Gege was a little surprised when he heard the news that Zhao Jie had drowned.
