Infinite people, start speedrunning

Chapter 81 Contradictions
boom!
The nuclear bomb was intercepted 20 kilometers away and detonated in the air, releasing endless light and heat into the sky...

It's unimaginable how crazy the mold is; the Central Continent Team had already detonated the nuclear warhead ahead of time!

Even so, the surface of the military base was still affected by the shockwave and turned into ruins.

The armed helicopter, five thousand meters above the ground, shook violently, causing Luo Gandao and Li Shuaixi to scramble to their feet.

Zhan Lan completed the task admirably... but her condition was not good.

"Cough! Cough!"

A violent coughing fit followed the moment the task was completed, and the taut string snapped.

Blood kept spilling from her seven orifices, and the backlash from the gene lock caused Zhan Lan to lose control of her body.

She felt a constant, piercing pain in her head, as if a million needles were stabbing her!

The mental scan switches to a linear mode, increasing the range tenfold. But how easy is it to cast Mind Chains [Precise Control] on a monster under these conditions?

Theory and practice may be completely different things.

But she actually did it.

It's hard to imagine how a normally delicate female writer could accomplish such a thing, or how she could have such a strong will.

At this moment, Zhang Jie, the invisible man, activated the Buddha Wheel for her, which shimmered with faint light, continuously healing the backlash caused by Zhan Lan's gene lock.

However, Zhang Jie knew that the mental burden could not be eased in a short time.

"Under high-intensity radiation, communications are disrupted, and we've lost contact with those below!" This is the conclusion Li Shuaixi reached after his experiment.

Luo Gandao, who always valued his life, seized the opportunity to ask, "What should we do now? The area below should be entirely radiation-prone, right?"

He wanted an answer—to evacuate.

"Prepare for landing." Zhang Jie's command nearly drove Luo Gandao to the brink of collapse.

The boy shouted, "What? How are we supposed to land like this! Aren't our lives lives too?"

"I said prepare to land, did you understand?"

A ferocious expression appeared on Zhang Jie's scarred face.

I won't say it a third time!

The Desert Eagle's muzzle was pressed against Logandao's head.

"Hey! There's no need for this, really no need..."

Li Shuaixi's face turned pale, and he tried to smooth things over: "Considering the distance, the radiation intensity may not be that high."

"Even if we take a step back and assume that we are exposed to radiation, we will only lose the ability to divide cells, and we will not die immediately."

"The veteran once said that as long as we return to the Main God Space, any injury can be healed..."

Rodandao gripped the control stick tightly in his hands.

What Li Shuaixi said was not without reason.

The question is, are the claims made by the experienced person true?

Even if it were true, how could the veterans guarantee that the mission could be completed before they died from radiation exposure?
Luo Gandao even suspected that the people below were already dead! Even if they weren't killed in the explosion, how could they possibly be safe from the radiation?

He doesn't trust senior people.

Since there is no time limit for completing the mission, he could simply hide in a faraway corner, on the other side of the world, and eke out a living.

He was an unlicensed driver to begin with. Returning to Zhongzhou in this world, it didn't matter that he didn't have an identity; he could still live a few more good years.

Luo Gandao had no ambitions and didn't care about living like a dog.

He grew up in an orphanage. After the death of his brother who had struggled alongside him in society, Luo Gandao vowed that he would live on for his brother, no matter what, and live in his place!

It's almost to the point of madness!
"Come on! If you've got the guts, kill me! Only I know how to fly this plane! If I die, none of you will be able to land, and you'll all die here."

At that moment, the boy erupted, and he sneered:

"Li Shuaixi, you need to understand, once you go down there, there's no turning back! We're still young, we can go to the Central Continent of this world, there aren't any weird monsters there!"

This scene clearly surprised Zhang Jie.

He didn't care what the newcomer thought of him, but he never expected that this kid would be far more troublesome than he imagined!
Zhang Jie only regretted that he couldn't really kill him, nor could he use the damned "Eye of Suggestion" to force him to land!

He possesses the power to change everything, yet he is restricted and can only watch from the sidelines each time!

Damn it, God! Damn it, the rules!
"Luo Gandao! What you're doing is wrong!" Li Shuaixi, who had received compulsory education and possessed basic moral principles, suddenly erupted in a tirade against his partner.
"Didn't Sister Zhan Lan risk her life to protect us? I, Li Shuaixi, have lived an upright life and consider myself a mirror!"

"Treat others as they treat me. How can there be any reason to repay kindness with enmity in this world?"

"..."

Did Rodindo not know that his actions were wrong?
Of course not, he knows he's scum. And he never claims to be a kind person.

However, this time is different.

It's strange... why would he feel sadness and shame in the face of doubt and condemnation?

Could it be that Luo Gandao, who has survived in the garbage dump until now, has actually started to develop humanity?
Would something so noble be so kind as to bestow its favor upon him?

Incredible...

How could he have known that from the moment he put on the symbiote, he would be trapped in a trap set by Fang Ge called the Ape Emperor's Erosion?

This is the wisdom of speedrunners! Learn from them, there's no end to learning!

The situation reached a stalemate.

Zhang Jie did not move his gun away, and Luo Gandao also stopped all operations.

Li Shuaixi felt that time was passing very slowly, and he hoped that Luo Gandao could see the error of his ways.

Perhaps it was the deep emotions they felt, or perhaps it was the sense of justice brought about by the symbiote that was at play.

Li Shuaixi suddenly began to tell his story, seemingly out of the blue:

"Those who come to the Main God Space are all disappointed with the real world and may have even thought about ending their own lives."

"I don't know what everyone has been through, but I think my own thoughts are a bit ridiculous."

"From childhood to adulthood, we are taught to be kind, diligent, helpful, and to respect the elderly and care for the young..."

"My appearance is average, my grades are average, and I haven't had anything particularly noteworthy to show for myself growing up. My only redeeming quality is my love of reading and my ability to remember a lot of information from books..."

"Of course, it has nothing to do with the exam. But that doesn't stop my family from letting me read books for leisure, and they are very supportive."

"Aside from being a decent person, I'm nothing special."

"Until one day, I was driving my family's newly bought car when I encountered an elderly person who had fallen down on the road..."

He stepped forward to help the old man up, only to discover that the man was faking an accident!

There were no cameras at the intersection, so the two started arguing. In a fit of anger, Li Shuaixi shoved the other person hard, causing the other person to hit a vital spot and become paralyzed for life.

Li Shuaixi just felt that since others were bullying him like this, he couldn't just keep tolerating it.

And then... the injustice became a fact. From that moment on, Li Shuaixi's life collapsed.

The exorbitant compensation further exacerbated the already difficult situation of the family, leaving them burdened with heavy debts.

Li Shuaixi was also expelled from school, transforming from a good person who was utterly useless into a notorious villain, with life becoming increasingly hostile towards him.

"Why is society so dark? I started to give up the idea of ​​being a good person, but the education I've received all along makes it impossible for me to do evil with peace of mind."

Li Shuaixi patted Luo Gandao on the shoulder and said with a wry smile:

"Then I came here... It's strange, isn't it? It's in such a bloody place that I felt kindness again."

Regardless of the senior's motives, Li Shuaixi now only sensed "goodwill".

He treated others the way they treated him—this was a principle he learned from his short life before entering the Main God Space.

"Rogando, stop..."

"I just can't move, I'm not really dizzy... This story is good, if I can get out, I'll write it down."

Zhan Lan's voice interrupted Li Shuaixi's persuasion.

This also plunged Luo Gandao's heart into despair.

His lack of understanding of the extraordinary put him in an extremely awkward situation.

"Don't worry, only a few of us will know what's going on here."

Zhan Lan's calm voice exploded in Luo Gandao's mind like a thunderclap.
