"Lord Commander! The Xijing Security Zone sent a team of Level 3 to raid our newly found supply point!"
"Now that our comrades are trapped there, the First Corps asks you when we will be ready to rescue them!"
Wearing a nightgown, lying on a rocking chair in a warm room, the young man listened to the report under the tree with an ugly face. Facing those nervous and expectant eyes, he was speechless for a long time.
"Let the first legion go first, I think they are" .??.
"Aren't you going!? In recent battles, you"
"How presumptuous! Why are you talking to the Commander-in-Chief! If all problems have to be solved by the Commander-in-Chief himself, what's the use of you!?"
Before everyone looked at the girl next to Li Xianming with ugly expressions and scolded them, the young man seemed to have found an excuse and hurriedly spoke.
"I said, I will definitely fight with everyone!"
"It's just that this is obviously a trap. They might have lured me out on purpose! When you find out, I will go to fight immediately!"
He was still categorical, but after the young man finished speaking, he once again felt that the strength he had been losing had dropped again.
For the first time, he saw disappointment in people's eyes.
"My dear, don't worry about them. Just lie to the people below."
"Who are you fighting against? Even if you are not afraid of those of the third level, what about the fourth level? If you are not afraid of people, what about the monsters? No matter how strong you are, if you keep fighting, something will happen one day."
"As long as we can survive, we can live well."
"Do you really think we can fight it? That is the real doomsday."
"I know"
"But I'm afraid, I'm afraid"
"What are you afraid of? The only thing you have to fear now is that the people below you will no longer believe in you. Just follow my father's example. If you give those untouchables some hope, they will want more!"
"Brainwash them, squeeze them, and make them kill each other! Haven't you noticed that the title of Commander is much more useful than what you think?"
After hearing this, the young man opened his mouth in confusion.
The girl was right. Since he let the people below him "spontaneously" call himself the commander-in-chief, he no longer needs to constantly boost morale and tell lies that he feels guilty about.
He could feel that people began to fear him, fear him, and dare not resist him.
like
Same as him
A thousand hours later.
"Run away!! Run away!! Monsters are attacking the city! Monsters are attacking the city!!"
The ground roared, and an endless tide of corpses surged in like black waves.
The young man looked at the sudden mutant riot in horror. In the terrifying tide of corpses in the distance, he even felt the aura of the third level peak. The vibration came from the underground!
"Why!? Didn't I agree to join the Xijing Alliance!? Hurry, go and beg them to send more third-level people! Don't they want to study me? I am willing, and I will tell them what it is!"
"That thing is easy to deceive! As long as you agree to it, you will have the power!"
"Sir, calm down! Let's escape by ourselves! There is also a wave of zombies in the Xijing safe zone. It's good if they can protect themselves!"
"Escape!? How to escape? How can so many people escape!?"
The young man subconsciously looked at the countless panicked cries in the city, and saw that some survivors who still had the courage to fight were spontaneously gathering their teams.
But obviously, with the speed of the zombie tide, except for people above the second level who can escape, the people below cannot escape at all!
even
"Of course we can escape on our own.
!Is it possible that you want to wait for death here!?"
"boom!!!"
The ground instantly cracked, and at some point, a blood-filled mouth a hundred meters long emerged from the ground.
The sky and the earth collapsed, and the young man looked in horror at the large number of humans being swallowed by the huge mouth, and among them, he actually saw his sister!
"elder sister!!"
As if going crazy, the young man subconsciously turned his eyes red, unleashed all his strength, and tried to rush forward.
But soon, the terrifying aura exuded by this super mutant instantly woke him up like a heavy hammer.
He was no match for this monster. Even when he looked into the monster's eyes, he was filled with fear and screamed!
I will die, I can't win, this is an enemy I can't defeat!
"Ahhhhh!!!"
"sister!"
"I'm so scared, I don't dare, I really don't dare!!"
A few seconds later, in the girl's desperate eyes, the young man turned around and ran away.
Stomach juice like sulfuric acid corroded her face, but she seemed to be unable to feel the pain at the moment, her eyes were blank.
For some reason, she suddenly remembered the young man who stood in front of her that day, very determined, and told her that he would not let him down.
Why
This child is even more cowardly
When did it start?
There was a "pop" sound.
After his belief was completely shattered by his own hands, the young man who could barely fly less than a hundred meters instantly lost his strength and fell from the sky like a wingless bird.
High in the sky, Lin An watched all this in silence.
The simulation failed the second time.
"Why can it only go so far?"
A thousand hours, more than a month.
He didn't even simulate many desperate situations, and the disaster in the final test was just the simplest mutant.
It is true that there is a gap between the simulated youth and reality, but similarly, Lin An did not put the despair he had experienced into it.
He gave the young man a perfect start, with power almost at his fingertips, a little difficulty, and a little obstacle. He was convinced that the young man was indeed full of hatred before his death, and was indeed willing to resist to the end. But it seemed that the young man was really so vulnerable.
Lin An was confused and even a little confused.
He had been guiding the other person and telling him what the real disaster was. But the more he knew, the more frightened the young man became, and eventually he lost all his courage.
"There is nothing wrong with this path, at least it is right at the beginning."
"The difficulty is not being able to persevere and continue fighting in the face of desperate situations."
"The more you get, the more you are afraid of losing. But you have nothing, and you can't resist. The stronger you are, the more you fear. The more you know, the more you feel your own insignificance and powerlessness."
"This seems to be a dead end that will never lead to anything."
"So, is this the reason why those advanced civilizations can only give up in despair, and the fifth-level, sixth-level, and even stronger ones can only compromise?"
Seeing the big from the small, the individual is the epitome of civilization.
Simulation in young people is no different from that in all people and in the entire civilization. The only difference is that some people may be able to persist longer, but they all seem to give up in the end.
Lin An sighed softly and paused the simulation program.
The choice of belief was not wrong, and the method of condensation was also correct. However, judging from the current simulation situation, there is a high probability that he will be able to successfully condensate belief in the early stage.
But as time goes by, I'm afraid there will be unimaginable backlash.
According to Chu An's thinking and the past experience of human civilization, his simulation can actually continue, and there may be a solution.
For example, in the guidance process, let each person who gathers faith serve as a fire to guide others simultaneously, instead of letting young people bear the most alone.
Another example is to let every survivor talk to each other about their pain, deepen their hatred, and strengthen their beliefs. .??.
Just like the torrent of steel that once swept through the world before the end of the world, political commissars serve as nodes and fires to continue to maintain combat effectiveness through collective education. This prevents people from losing their will after completing their individual revenge.
But obviously.
“This road eventually ran into problems.”
"They also realized this and realized that people are still afraid of difficulties and death in nature. This is the instinct of life, selfishness, greed and survival."
"Even if we awaken people's consciences, allow them to sympathize with each other and strive for establishment, this cannot be avoided."
"People deep down don't really want everyone to have a good life."
"Even if people know that collective decline will lead to individual death, selfish genes cannot be changed."
The so-called kindness, compassion and mercy are essentially arrogance and another level of selfishness.
When people see similar people suffering, the reason why they choose to help others is actually because they are afraid that they will encounter the same suffering and no one will help them.
That's why it's called sympathy.
Similarly, when you help others, you must do so when you have an advantage and are not in danger.
If they are in a disaster at the same time, people will be like prey being chased by a tiger. They will only think about running faster than others. They will even feel lucky when their own kind dies tragically, and have the pleasure of surviving by chance.
"I can't change what's engraved in my genes."
Lin An kept thinking and summarizing, trying to find a solution from a third perspective without any emotion.
"Based on compassion and responsibility, it is impossible for believers who have become firebrands to fight for others."
"Even if I am willing to take on this responsibility, it is because I am the only one who can bear this responsibility."
"Unless you give them the same power"
"No."
"I can't give the believers the same powerful strength. Even if I give them power, it will lead them to draw the power of the sun from the body of belief. Everything can only be done by themselves."
Lin An frowned, this was a dead end.
As the fugitives said, taking the path of faith is much more difficult than simply using humans as fuel.
It’s not okay to give, it’s not okay not to give.
Just like a young man, if he gives more strength, the young man can of course persist longer. Even if his belief is not firm, he will not collapse when the mutant appears.
But the same question remains. If he does this, what kind of faith will he have? Should he share his strength? And then wait for the backlash?
Keep overturning your own ideas.
Lin An could feel that he was vaguely connecting all the ideas and clues together. It was normal for the ideas to be wrong, but it was precisely because of the existence of the right that there would be mistakes.
He could feel that he was infinitely close to the truth and the correct answer.
"You can only follow hatred"
"Hate and revenge are also the most powerful forces in life instinct."
"Only when people have experienced pain, death, and despair can they burst out with real power and condense infinite faith. Only by exerting all their strength, even if they die a hundred, ten thousand, or a hundred million times, can they resist.
We also need the courage to reverse all this before we can face everything head-on!"
"Just like me, me"
"I!?"
"I!?"
In the thinking space, Lin An was suddenly stunned. The sea of spiritual energy, like a galaxy, roared instantly, as if setting off a stormy wave in his mind at this moment!
Frozen in place, Lin An subconsciously looked at the simulated self and his own back.
At this moment, an unspeakable, unbelievable thought that seemed to explode in his mind suddenly appeared!
He thought about it.
It was just this answer, this truth that made him tremble with fear, like a bug seeing the starry sky for the first time, unable to withstand the impact of the boundless vastness.
He knew where he went wrong.
He knows what the problem is.
I also know the answer that can truly condense faith, truly become a god, and truly defeat the apocalypse!
The answer is simple
In other words, he is the answer itself.
Lin An raised his head stiffly, gasping for breath, and looked at himself in the thinking space.
Why can't people strengthen their beliefs and stick to it?
Because they have never truly died, because their pain and hatred are limited to what they have experienced.
Just like a person walking on the road carrying a package of hatred and revenge, when the package is unloaded, all the persistence will naturally be let go.
But for Lin An.
He has countless hatreds!
"Why can I persist? Why is my belief to resist the doomsday and end the doomsday!?"
"Because I have died! I was in the Long'an Project, and I have experienced countless tortures in my previous lives. So I know that the pain that I feel, the despair that millions of me have suffered, ultimately comes from
Why!"
"This pain, even includes Long An, including every fifth level I eat!"
"I know, if I don't kill it! Nothing will end!"
"I feel the same way!"
"That's why my pain and hatred can support me until now!"
"I am"
"All living beings!!"
The space shattered, and Lin An staggered and fell from the thinking space.
Under the endless starry sky, he fell slowly like a fish falling into the abyss.
He found the answer.
But this also means that an even more unimaginable truth has surfaced.
If you want to condense real faith, you only need to let humans repeat his experience, or become another him, even half of him is enough.
Keep falling.
Lin An's voice was hoarse, as if he was questioning the world and everything.
Ask the entire universe.
"so."
"Whose believer am I."
"Who am I to spread the fire in this universe?"
In the darkness, the sounds were like resonances, spanning endless worlds and planes.
