Apocalypse: I watch a survival game in a safe house

"For 99.99999% of life in this world, whether it's an intelligent creature of a highly civilized civilization, a hyena running on the savannah, or an earthworm wriggling underground, their fate is determined from the moment they are born."

"Sheep have to spend their entire lives avoiding predators like jackals and wolves, and grass and trees are destined to be gnawed. Even for a higher being like a human, the fate of their entire life is practically determined from the moment they are born."

"I don't believe there is true equality in this world!"

Deng Shentong said very calmly.

"So saving one life or five lives is a difficult decision. But I still choose to save that one person."

After Deng Shentong finished speaking, he waited for the girl in red to make her comment.

However, a gust of wind suddenly blew in front of his eyes, and Deng Shentong subconsciously closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he suddenly found himself standing on a bridge.

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

The loud sound of a train whistle came from the distance.

Only then did Deng Shentong realize that the scene before him was different from before.

He was standing on a bridge over the railway, and a train was speeding towards him from a distance.

In front of the train, there were still five people tied up and about to be crushed to death by the train.

However, there was also a person tied in front of Fatty Xu. As long as Fatty Xu pushed him lightly, he would fall down and land on the railroad tracks.

The girl in red asked again, "Then let's change the question a little. Instead of two railways, there's a living person standing in front of you."

"If you push him down, you can stop the train and give those five people the right to live."

"You, you pushed him down?"

The girl in red pointed at the person in front of her and asked in a voice still without any emotion.

Deng Shentong looked at the person in front of him, and the shock in his heart became even stronger.

Even though he knew that everything was fake, this kind of question tested his heart, and he had to face it as if it were real.

Does he need to push this innocent person down with his own hands and kill him in exchange for the survival of the other five people?

This is much more difficult than simply turning a joystick.

Killing someone from a distance with a gun is less sinful than stabbing them with a knife.

If you can use a computer mouse to control a drone to attack the enemy, it may even give you a gaming-like pleasure, without the guilt of killing.

However, it is clear that these behaviors are essentially no different.

The girl in red kept looking at Deng Shentong, waiting for his answer.

In front of Deng Shentong was the man's back, and the train was approaching.

In the end, when the train rumbled under the bridge, Deng Shentong did not take action.

His eyes were a little dazed because he felt that his contradictory behavior should be the end of him.

"Now, do you have anything you want to say?"

The girl in red asked.

Deng Shentong closed his eyes, but soon opened them again. At this moment, his eyes were extremely firm.

“I still think there’s nothing wrong with my ideas.”

"I didn't push him down because I couldn't bear it emotionally and morally, but it doesn't mean I think my point of view is wrong."

"When faced with the situation where the interests of one party must be sacrificed, choosing the interests of the majority is the golden rule that mankind has always followed."

"Aren't humans always making choices?"

"Even when we were just primitive people, when we faced a strong enemy, we would have to abandon the old, weak, sick and disabled in our tribe."

"After establishing a kingdom, they would send women to marry, throw them into tiger dens, or even sacrifice their lives to preserve the survival of the group."

Deng Shentong took a deep breath and said, "This isn't a simple question of right or wrong. It's a difficult decision that the collective must make if it wants to survive long-term."
