Chapter 968 The paradox of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law
In short, the solution to the crisis provided by Elaine is, in a sense, about the same as fishing for the extinction of the water.
According to her, with the current volcanic eruption scale on Earth, using this device to calm the crisis will cause the planet's origin to consume a considerable amount of energy - if these energy is converted into the lifespan of this planet, then... in scientists' calculations, the Earth, which had a lifespan of billions of years, may be shortened by nearly half after this time.
"So, what's in front of us now is such a multiple-choice question."
After repeatedly confirming the authenticity of the content to Elaine, Yi Cheng temporarily politely invited her, Warhammer Chief Mei Luli, and two other clingy little guys out of the tent.
As for why we didn't invite Adali out together, it is because for the 2D people, there is no concept of "inside the tent" and "outside the tent".
Not to mention these details yet, what Yi Cheng and the others are going to discuss is whether to choose "human" or "planet" at the critical moment of life and death in this world.
For the Savior, this is definitely a lose-lose multiple-choice question, because in the Savior's criterion, both humans and this planet are the objects they must protect. But now, suddenly cutting away the two and want to protect one of them will inevitably cause heavy harm to the other party that is difficult to avoid. If you have to describe it... it is probably the paradox that my wife and mother fell into the water to save the water.
Especially... when your wife and mother don't know how to water, and you are the only one who can save people, you only know the shallow dog-padding style, this problem... is even more heartbreaking.
"This price is... too heavy, so heavy that we can't accept it."
The first thing to speak was the ginseng from Baishan Province. It is worth mentioning that while she spoke, Jixiangtian from Inner Sea Province also expressed her attitude of standing on the same side as her with her in a silent silent attitude.
"To save half of the population who may die in disaster at the expense of half of the planet's lifespan... In my opinion, this is not an equal multiple-choice question at all. After all, the population can reproduce again, but the lost planet's lifespan... will never come back."
"No, Elaine said just now that the power of the original planet can actually be slowly restored, but this process is extremely slow..."
"So, compared to the lifespan lost by the planet, such recovery can be said to be a drop in the bucket."
"That's right, but..."
"Nothing is not true."
Yi Cheng was just halfway through his words when he was interrupted by the representative of Hei Shui Province Zuoshan Diao.
"I absolutely cannot tolerate more than half of the humans in the world who die because of my decision. By then, those of us who make decisions will become the largest and most cruel executioner ever!"
"Then can we tolerate losing half of the lifespan of the earth? Humans rely on this planet to survive. Once the lifespan of the planet is over and humans do not have the technology of interstellar voyage, then... humans will also become extinct!"
Zuoshan Diao clearly did not intend to reason with her about the rebuttal of ginseng without any confidence but with sufficient reasons.
"I don't know how long the planet will live, nor do I know what will happen to my descendants. I only know that now, in front of us, we have a way to save billions of human beings, as for what will happen in the future..."
She slapped the table hard, looking around everyone present with a hawk's eyes.
"After I die, I don't care about the flood!"
“It’s right.”
Surprisingly, in Yi Cheng's opinion, the most old-fashioned and adhering to the savior's code, was the first to speak up to the mountain deity.
"Although on the surface, the damage to the origin of the planet is almost irreparable, at least after this, we have plenty of time to think of ways, rather than at the expense of more than half of humanity, as we do now, in exchange for so-called continuation that may be completely unpredictable in the future."
"What Huohong said is what I want to say."
This time, Bai Ze also stood on the side of "humanity" without hesitation.
"Although the Red Tutor always emphasizes to us that between ‘human’ and ‘planet’, we should choose to protect this planet rather than humans, but I think this should be based on the huge difference between ‘individuals’ and ‘the whole world’. As for now... which side to choose, I don’t think there should be any questions."
"I...I don't know what you are talking about, I only know..."
The soul-breaking man who has always been so cowardly that he dared not speak in such occasions, he mustered up the courage to make his own voice at this time.
"I...I want dad, everyone... to survive well."
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but peek at Yi Cheng beside her, and then immediately lowered her head with red cheeks.
"So...what else is there any objection?"
As the person who actually has the power to make decisions, Yi Cheng tapped the table with his finger bow and signaled to others to participate in the Good Sui Tian.
"By the way, I must have chosen the human side. There is not so much reason. Since this is the conspiracy of the Red Mentor as the villain, then as saviors, we must defeat it! Even if we pay any price, we will do whatever we want!"
"...Hey, is the position too radical? And the color of personal revenge is too heavy, it does not fit your protagonist's identity."
Bai Ze pulled someone's sleeve and whispered a reminder.
"It's okay. Judging from the results, I have made contributions to the survival of mankind, right? As for which side of revenge and rescue are the key... I believe everyone won't care too much."
“…”
So Bai Ze closed his mouth rationally. After all, from a certain perspective, what Yi Cheng said just now is actually correct.
If the plan of mentor Hong is allowed to succeed, then he may face a more terrifying situation next. Instead of being tired of dealing with moves and curbing her evil plan from the source, it is obviously the best solution at present.
"...Well, I have nothing to say, actually... I don't want so many people to die."
At the beginning, as an opposition ginseng, he was easily shaken and chose to surrender.
"I just hope...then, humans can repay and make up for this planet as much as possible, rather than...accelerate the destruction of it."
“…”
Ji Xiangtian shook his head slightly, not knowing that he had thought of any bad future scenes, but Yi Cheng's words later made her eyes look a little more radiant.
"Don't forget that the existence of the Savior has been made public now... Although this is not necessarily a good thing, as long as we work together, we can turn it into a good thing, for example... as the Savior, urging people's environmental awareness, as well as combat poachers and criminals who cut down and destroy nature..."
"That's right."
Accompanied by the sudden insertion of the voice, the one who appeared on the projection was the code-named White Queen, the temporary person in charge of the savior of the Celestial Dynasty.
"I have learned all the situation. In short, take action as soon as possible to calm the eruption and keep the losses within a minimum range."
"...You eavesdrop!"
"...If you eavesdrop or not, don't talk about it. As saviors, you don't know how to report this major decision to your superior first!"
"Well……"
Yi Cheng smiled embarrassedly, but his eyes temporarily moved away from Queen White's face and turned toward the tent entrance.
The one who appeared there was no one else, but was the girl whose complexion was much better than before, code-named "Crystal".
"Adali just helped me with treatment."
Noting Yi Cheng's concerning eyes, Crystal stood a little and unconsciously pushed up his petite breasts.
"I've already...no problem."
"It's fine..."
While speaking, under the somewhat surprised gaze of Shuijing, Yi Cheng walked forward and hugged her in his arms.
"Next time... you can't be so rash."
"……Um."
Perhaps because she was hugged too tightly, the girl's body twisted uneasy for a moment, and then suddenly became quiet again, but she just made a light sound from her nose, which was a response to Yi Cheng's sudden action.
"That...that..."
Just as Yi Cheng released the crystal, the soul-breaking man suddenly rushed to him.
"I...I want to hug you too... OK?"
I don’t know where I mustered up the courage to do this kind of reckless behavior. In short, the soul-breaking man now seems to have put in the greatest effort in his life, raising his face vigorously, and his eyes are filled with firm brilliance.
Looking at her expression, Yi Cheng couldn't even say anything to refuse.
"... Just hug it. If you want to hug it, how about we find a place to hug it when the matter is resolved this time?"
“Woo…”
The girl, who was already extremely shy because her chest was tightly pressed against the other person's chest and was deformed by the strange feeling caused by the squeezing, suddenly heard someone whispering in her ear, and was so shy that she almost stuffed her entire head into Yi Cheng's chest.
"Okay, okay, whether you are talking about love or explaining your funeral, you will leave these things until you have resolved the trouble."
Inexplicably, the White Queen, who was sprinkled with dog food, interrupted the "hug meeting" in the tent with some dissatisfaction because she could see that if a person was not controlled well, something inappropriate for children might happen next.
So, after the sensational scene was urgently braked, all the saviors present also acted quickly.
First, Zuoshan Diao and Ginseng continued to stay in Donghai Port for evacuation. As the last move after the attempt failed, the personnel of the Imperial Capital Savior Management Office headed by Yi Cheng will take action together. However, their destination is not the closest Tianchi Volcano, but...
