Compared with the 30 points at the beginning, Shimizu Masato's progress can be described as rapid. Su Wanxia, who was watching the entire test process, couldn't help but clapped her hands and praised: "I have seen many geniuses, but Masato you are definitely the genius among these geniuses."
After receiving the compliment, Masato Shimizu blushed slightly and felt a little shy.
Shen Yinuo was also full of praise for Masato Shimizu's performance: "It's really impressive. This is the first time I've seen someone who has never touched a gun master the basics of combat so quickly and use it flexibly. Freely."
Shimizu Masato was a little embarrassed when she heard this. In fact, she was novice who had never touched a gun. She was clearly a female agent who could compete with elite special service personnel. Not only was she able to use various weapons freely, she was also proficient in reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance, especially in assassinations. , Masato Shimizu is also considered a good player.
It's just that Qingshui Masato can't tell Shen Yinuo and Su Wanxia about these things.
"Hehe, no...it's just that it's quite interesting...so I got a high score by accident." Masato Shimizu smiled and scratched his head.
Su Wanxia glanced at the targets that had been accurately shot in the head or hit three consecutive shots in vital parts of the body, and then looked at each other with Shen Yinuo. The two of them knew it well.
Masato Qingshui is by no means the silly white lotus they see in her eyes. At least this little white lotus has thorns.
"Okay, it's getting late. Now you can rest peacefully for a while. I will call you before taking action tomorrow morning." Su Wanxia looked at the time and said to Masato Qingshui.
Qingshui Masato nodded, then put down the flintlock gun in his hand and said, "See you tomorrow then."
"Yeah." Shen Yinuo and Su Wanxia.
…
In the lounge, Shen Yinuo asked Su Wanxia: "Why do you think this white lotus is here?"
"It's hard to say." Su Wanxia slowly wiped the weapon in her hand.
"Oh? There are times when you can't see people right?"
Su Wanxia put down her weapon and sighed softly: "Logically speaking, she should have come simply to take us back, but her timing was a little too subtle."
"You mean... You Gege may have another purpose?" Shen Yinuo asked.
Su Wanxia was silent for a while and then said: "I think we can sort out the matter systematically before making a judgment."
Shen Yinuo nodded.
"First of all, the Shanhai Space Station was accidentally destroyed. This accident was actually not that unexpected." Su Wanxia's meaning was very clear.
Shen Yinuo and Chu Xiaoming had read the report about the destruction of the Shanhai ship many times.
Although it is only a public official report, the report clearly mentioned that Shanhai was destroyed by fragments of a satellite, and the satellite had just entered orbit and started working less than a year ago.
The satellites were accurately locked and then destroyed, followed by fragments that destroyed more satellites. Then, like an invincible army, they tore the Shanhai into pieces.
"The Shanhai space station was originally built for extraterrestrial planetary observation, outer space scientific experiments and some very dangerous genetic modification projects." Su Wanxia seemed to be stating or talking to herself. He paused and continued. : "The outer space scientific experiment project is a regular scientific research project, and basically there is no interest involved. The genetic modification project is a closed research project of the first Central Axis special batch. There is no need to destroy the space station... So in other words... They really What I want to stop is the exoplanet observation project..."
Speaking of this, Su Wanxia opened her eyes and said, "Someone doesn't want the ground to know what they found."
Shen Yinuo frowned: "I heard Qian Hua said that she met a girl named Yao Yao when she was at the space station. This girl was one of the observers of the extraterrestrial planet observation project. However, although the two of them had regular contact, But Yao Yao did a very good job of keeping secrets, and Qian Hua was not that curious, so she didn’t know what Yao Yao had discovered... But just before the Shanhai was destroyed, Yao Yao ended her work and took a space flight. The elevator returns to the ground..."
Su Wanxia did not continue.
Shen Yinuo has expressed his feelings to Su Wanxia.
"It's impossible. To do this is no longer to be an enemy of a certain interest group, but to treat the whole world as an enemy and completely destroy it! Who would do this?"
"People who are fully prepared will do this." Su Wanxia said calmly: "Those who plan to 'rebirth' and bring human society into an elite society will do this. Those who already regard themselves as 'gods' will do this. Do."
Shen Yinuo fell into silence after hearing this.
"Have you ever talked about these things with anyone else?"
"We talked about it partially, but not in depth. It wasn't until Masato Shimizu came today that I talked about these things in depth with you for the first time."
"So... the destruction of the Shanhai was not an accident at all, but inevitable?"
Su Wanxia nodded.
"But what they didn't expect was that Xian Qianhua and Yan Sichen would survive?"
Su Wanxia continued to nod, and said at the same time: "I think the ground was ready at that time, just waiting for the survivors to land and then wipe them out."
Shen Yinuo suddenly felt a chill running down his spine.
"We were just... abandoned directly?" Shen Yinuo couldn't accept this fact for a while.
Su Wanxia was relatively calm. He said calmly: "When the optical disc was invented, did you consider the feelings of the paper manufacturers? When high-performance storage particles were born, did MP3 consider the feelings of the Walkman? Sister Yinuo ...In the past, those who advocated human rights did so because society needed to grant individual human rights to ensure that the entire society was full of vitality. But what if we need to make the entire civilization progress or survive disasters through dormancy? Human rights will become shackles, and even derive many insecurities. The chaos of control is the difference between relative freedom and absolute freedom."
"But that can't be..." Shen Yinuo still couldn't accept the reality, even though she fully understood what Su Wanxia meant.
"I can make a bold guess. In fact, long before Xian Qianhua and Yan Sichen sent the key observation data to the earth, the observers on the Shanhai had already discovered the crisis that mankind was about to face. However, due to some management regulations at the time, the observers They are usually not allowed to have direct contact with the information collection officer. This is to avoid the accumulation of personal emotions during the information collection process, which will lead to impure information collection... And those people happened to seize this opportunity and act decisively, sacrificing the Shanhai as a guide. To use direct and effective methods to prepare for the continuation of human civilization, this... seems to you and me to be completely inhumane, and it completely tramples on the human rights that humans have been fighting for for thousands of years. ...But there is an old saying that a dying person has no dignity at all... After a famine in the past, human nature was dominated by the most primitive desires. Changing one's children to eat was still a polite way of saying it... So I It is difficult to judge whether this approach is right or wrong. We can only discuss its success or failure." After Su Wanxia said these words calmly, she added: "As for why things changed later, I think there may be two main reasons. "
"Huh?" Shen Yinuo, with dim eyes, came back to his senses slightly.
"First, there are internal differences among those who hold the highest power of mankind. For example, the news brought to us by Masato Shimizu... The earth is being invaded by the illusionary realm of 'Old God Yarams', and this incident The center is related to our sister Qian Hua and that Mr. Xian." Su Wanxia boldly guessed.
Shen Yinuo asked again: "What else?"
"Also...perhaps the disaster itself that directly led to the extreme trend of mankind as a whole is not as ruthless as we imagined."
Shen Yinuo didn't understand: "The sun has disappeared, the human world has plunged into darkness, and all animals and plants on the earth's land have perished. Isn't this ruthless enough?"
Su Wanxia said: "That's because our perspective of observing and analyzing things is too narrow."
"How high must one be to not be narrow-minded?" Shen Yinuo said displeased.
"Get out of personal values and rise to the level of cosmic civilization." Su Wanxia said with a smile.
Shen Yinuo immediately rolled his eyes and said to Su Wanxia: "You think everyone is like you, spending all day studying ancient books whose words you can't understand, or studying philosophy, mysticism and the like. How can you think that everyone is like you?" Is it that easy?”
Su Wanxia smiled and nodded when she heard this: "You are right, but let's lower it to a lower level and look at it from a legal perspective."
Shen Yinuo is also a top student, but she is the kind of top student who is very partial to subjects. She has never been interested in literature, law, and philosophy, so she complained: "Can't you explain it to me using numbers or mathematical thinking?"
Now it was Su Wanxia's turn to be embarrassed: "I... I always failed in advanced mathematics every year in college..."
Shen Yinuo understood: "Okay, let me talk in vain, you continue."
Su Wanxia thought for a while and then said: "There is a term in law called 'emergency evacuation'. You should have heard of this, right?"
Shen Yinuo nodded, she still understood the basic legal knowledge.
"Um."
"It's easy to handle if you know it. There is a saying in the relevant standards of 'emergency evacuation' that for a person who is about to starve to death, if he robs the food in the bakery, then he has violated the criminal law. ?" Su Wanxia asked.
Shen Yinuo thought for a while and then said: "This... shouldn't be counted, right?"
Su Wanxia smiled and said nothing.
Shen Yinuo was a little unsure again: "No...even if you are about to starve to death, you can still use other methods. I think people buying bread will definitely not be so ruthless, so...it should still be against the law, after all." Everyone is equal before the law."
Su Wanxia still smiled.
Shen Yinuo was completely confused: "Hey, please don't embarrass me, okay? Does this count?"
Su Wanxia shook her head: "If it really meets all the circumstances I described, and this person will starve to death if he doesn't eat this mouthful of bread, then his behavior cannot be ultimately deemed to have violated the criminal law, and there will be no punishment for it. statement."
Shen Yinuo seemed to understand: "Is this...a word game?"
Su Wanxia shook her head: "Many cases in reality have shown that in some very urgent situations, those of us who judge the rights and wrongs of the incident afterwards cannot expect the parties to make the so-called correct choice, so we cannot abuse the rights of the law. To make what we think is a fair judgment to the innocent parties, so...do you understand now why I said that this catastrophe may not be as cruel and ruthless as we imagined?"
Shen Yinuo fell into deep thought.
With her intelligence, she could easily understand what Su Wanxia meant.
This is just like the example Su Wanxia just gave. In reality, if someone is really about to starve to death, can you judge from the so-called fair perspective that it is illegal for a person to steal bread in order to survive?
Of course, Su Wanxia also said a major premise, that is, the specific realistic judgment must conform to the described situation, which requires a social consensus and the judge's comprehensive judgment, and is a constitutive element of the norm.
"So...does it mean we have to endure this catastrophe just because we are too weak?" Shen Yinuo asked rhetorically.
Su Wanxia nodded, but he smiled and said: "Of course, these are actually my bold guesses based on the clues I have learned so far and what I have learned personally. How far are they from the truth... This It’s hard to say.”
Shen Yinuo took a deep breath and sighed: "In short, no matter what, we can only take one step at a time, right?"
"That's pretty much it, and at the moment we don't even understand why Sister Qian Hua's 'divine nature' is so powerful that it can even trap all of us in her dream... so there's no need to worry about it. For more troublesome things to consume our minds, we should think about taking Masato Qingshui to the depths of the fissure tomorrow morning. Maybe the three of us can break through the wall this time." Su Wanxia said with a smile.
"Hey...it's true that 'everything is fate and nothing is up to you'...when did I become so old-fashioned?" Shen Yinuo smiled bitterly, then stood up and said: "Okay, I'll go back and take a shower and go to bed. , you should stop thinking wildly and take a rest."
Su Wanxia smiled and nodded: "Yeah."
…
Early the next morning, when Masato Shimizu woke up, he found that he was sleeping on a mini island.
The area of the island is only ten square meters at most, and it resembles a melon seed.
There is a coconut tree on the island, which looks very much like the islands that often appear in some cartoons. But when Masato Shimizu sat up, the blue sky, sea and island disappeared, and the room returned to its original state.
'Could it be that it was affected by the rift again?'
Just when I was wondering, there was a knock on the door.
"Masato? Are you awake?"
It was Shen Yinuo. Qingshui Masato quickly got out of bed and opened the door.
The person standing outside the door was indeed Shen Yinuo, but she was already fully armed.
Seeing Shen Yinuo like this, Qingshui Masato was surprised and said: "Hey? Are we about to set off now?"
Shen Yinuo smiled slightly and said: "I got up early, so I had breakfast and went to the martial arts field first, and then... I won't have breakfast with you later. I will go to the fissure to explore the way first. Su Wanxia will I'll take you to meet me."
Masato Shimizu, who had a peaceful sleep on Mars for the first time, scratched his head and squeezed out a smile and said: "Okay."
After Shen Yinuo left, Su Wanxia came directly to Qingshui Masato's room with breakfast.
This treatment really flattered Masato Shimizu. She felt very embarrassed and asked: "Brother Su, have you eaten?"
Su Wanxia smiled and said: "Have eaten. I was afraid that you were not familiar with this place, so I brought it to you. You eat first. Don't be in a hurry. I have something to say to you later."
Masato Qingshui glanced at Su Wanxia suspiciously, but seeing that he had no intention of speaking, he didn't hesitate to ask more questions.
The content of the breakfast was very simple, but the taste was pretty good. Masato Shimizu felt that the people trapped on Mars seemed to be pretty good at cooking.
After finishing breakfast, Masato Qingshui looked at Su Wanxia.
Su Wanxia took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Yaren, when we enter the rift later, I will find an opportunity to leave the team. When the time comes, you have to find a way to prevent Shen Yinuo from looking for me."
Hearing this, Qingshui Masato asked: "Where is Brother Su going?"
Su Wanxia smiled mysteriously: "Actually, there are many suspicious places in the rift, but I have never had the chance to explore them. This time I plan to explore them alone."
"Ah? Wouldn't that be dangerous?" Masato Shimizu didn't understand.
Su Wanxia said: "The danger is certain, but considering that there may be very useful clues in deciphering the dream in these suspicious locations... so... I have to make some efforts."
"Then why do you have to send away Sister Yinuo?"
Su Wanxia hesitated for a moment and then said: "This matter... I will find an opportunity to chat with you alone after today's adventure is over. Now, hurry up and arm yourself. It's time for us to set off."
…
The fully covered body-fitting weapon is also wrapped with a layer of offensive mechanical exoskeleton armor.
The two flintlock muskets on his back were actually surprisingly powerful weapons from the ancestors, and he was equipped with several conventional weapons. After being armed, Masato Shimizu looked like a war machine made of steel.
From the appearance, Masato Shimizu's actions should be considered cumbersome.
But in fact, this set of "Attacker" offensive mechanical exoskeleton armor that can be disarmed anytime and anywhere is equipped with powerful mobility auxiliary components, so its maneuverability in actual combat is very powerful.
Therefore, Masato Shimizu at this time is not only not bulky, but also much more flexible than her normal state.
In comparison, Su Wanxia's weapons are much simpler.
A set of weapons coated with nano-scale crystals, which can be integrated with the environment anytime and anywhere. Paired with a particle energy pulse shotgun and some conventional weapons, Su Wanxia has truly given up her frontal assault ability. Turn to maximize the camouflage function.
Although Qingshui Masato knew that Su Wanxia was going to explore the depths of the fissure alone, she still couldn't help but worry when she saw him dressed like this: "Brother Su, is it really okay for you to be like this...?"
Su Wanxia smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm very familiar with that place. As long as I don't commit suicide, nothing will happen to me."
Masato Qingshui grinned and said nothing more.
The method of entering the rift surprised Masato Shimizu.
She imagined that there must be at least some specific device to keep the rift open.
Unexpectedly, after Su Wanxia and Qingshui Masato came out of the back door of Outpost 2, the cracks that appeared in front of them were like random bursting bubbles.
