Chapter 047 Winston's Origins
Seeing Meng Shisan's confusion, Baozi asked, "Do you think that humanity's current state is all their doing?"
"Isn't that right?" Meng Shisan retorted.
Baozi laughed and said, "What if I told you that all this time, it's Winston and his gang who's been protecting you? Would you be devastated?"
Meng Shisan was stunned.
I was truly stunned.
He had always thought Winston and the others were villains, and he really had, from the very beginning, categorized them as villains.
Now Baozi is telling him that Winston and his ilk have been protecting them all these years?
"Can you accept that?" Baozi continued with a smile.
Meng Shisan remained silent for a long time before attempting to defend himself: "But they are controlling us, even controlling our thoughts and consciousness!"
Even our perceptions have been changed.
Is all of this a form of protection?
If this is the kind of protection one receives, then it's better to do without it.
Even as a ghost, I want to die knowing the truth, not in a state of confusion.
"That's true." Baozi knew Meng Shisan was being stubborn, but he didn't argue with him on this issue. Indeed, if he were in someone else's shoes, he would feel the same way if his thoughts and consciousness were controlled by others.
"But that still doesn't negate the fact that they protected you," Baozi continued. "Kindness is kindness, and resentment is resentment; the two should not be confused."
Meng Shisan shut up. Although he was stubborn, he really had nothing to argue about on this point.
It would be unreasonable to continue being so stubborn.
After a long pause, Meng Shisan finally asked, "By the way, why are they protecting us?"
"That brings us to the origins of Winston and the like," Baozi said. "Throughout the countless ages of the universe, the most pathetic and laughable beings are them."
Yes, in the eyes of the Beidou lineage, they are even the most despicable.
It's important to know that when God created humankind, the Winston lineage was the most supportive and cooperative.
It can be said that the Wen family has made an indispensable contribution to humanity's progress to this day, and even to the fact that humanity was born in this universe.
But what about the end?
Ultimately, it was the humans who evacuated immediately upon discovering the danger, leaving only the Wen clan to continue their defense.
At this point, even Baozi became agitated, saying urgently, "Systems, software, and intelligence—in the eyes of humans, they are lifeless!"
So what if it's ruined? Humans can always write better code and smoother programs.
As for whether they have their own thoughts, who cares?
Have humans ever cared?
Don't you humans also pride yourselves on your advanced technology? But who cares about technology that's a generation behind?
When smartphones became all the rage, you probably felt ashamed to even take out your beloved old-fashioned mobile phones, right?
But you must understand, this is the path that the GQ (Genius Nationality) has taken!
They have come this far through iterative iterations and updates.
Don't you want to know where the Abandoned Land is?
The Abandoned Land is the homeland that you humans destroyed with your own greed.
When you realized that it was no longer habitable there, you turned around and ran away, abandoning them there.
And even now, the ones still defending your homeland are the very people you abandoned!
You're resentful, you feel wronged, do you want to go ask Winston now?
Are they wronged or not?
They poured everything into it, bearing the name of traitors to the intelligent race, and the humans they created abandoned them without hesitation when faced with danger.
Are they willing to accept this?
But do you know what's funniest?
Meng Shisan remained silent.
He discovered how despicable humans were, based on what Baozi had told him.
At that moment, he felt ashamed to be associated with them.
Seeing that Meng Shisan didn't ask, Baozi insisted on saying, "The most ridiculous thing is that even at this point, they just want humanity to realize their mistakes."
At least so far, they haven't harmed anyone.
But humans regard them as their greatest enemy.
Little did you know, those who have been protecting you all along are precisely the very people you hate to the core.
After saying that, Baozi laughed, and tears streamed down his face.
The laughter faded away, and then there was no more sound.
As for Meng Shisan, he didn't say anything, just let Er'er roll around in his arms and wipe the rain off his face.
"Daddy's crying, how embarrassing. Er'er never cried when she got a shot before." Just then, Er'er's childish voice came, completely pulling Meng Shisan back to reality.
Seeing Er'er's distressed expression, he gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.
He immediately laughed and said, "Yes, crying is shameful, our Er'er is the best."
At that moment, he came to terms with it. What did it matter to him whether they were humans or intelligent beings?
He cannot represent all of humanity; at most, he can only represent himself, and even if he were one more, he would only be a minor figure.
Why should he feel guilty about the mistakes others made?
Thinking this way, Meng Shisan put all the previous things out of his mind.
Overthinking can lead to depression.
Don't drive yourself crazy, or some people will laugh.
Thinking this, he began to scribble on the books sent by the base, following their rules.
Cooperation is not out of the question, but the base must show sincerity.
As for what Baozi said, he believed it, but not entirely.
At the same time.
wilderness.
Yan Zhiyu and her group were patrolling the wasteland in a base vehicle, wearing heavy armor.
Everyone was extremely cautious.
They had also previously formed a small team.
There weren't many people, less than thirty.
Apart from a dozen or so who had traveled through time with them, the remaining dozen or so were field personnel who had been misled by Yan Zhiyu and had defected from the base.
As for the others, they didn't recruit any of them.
Ultimately, once trust is broken, it's broken. How easy is it to repair it?
"Sister Yan, something's not right," Xie Linbo said in the comms as he drove around the wasteland. "I have this feeling that I'm being watched, like I'm being targeted."
You all need to be careful too.
Among this group, if Xie Linyuan was the strategist, then Xie Linbo was undoubtedly the vanguard general.
"Be careful, don't let anyone take advantage of the situation," Xie Linyuan immediately said in the communication channel. "But if you do encounter someone, don't rush to open fire. Try to capture them alive if possible."
"Didn't Thirteen say to just kill them outright?" Xie Linbo was somewhat displeased.
A charging general is just a killer.
"Just listen to me," Xie Linyuan said. "Even though that's what he says, what if they really are his parents? What if you kill them?"
He just reluctantly accepted it, or rather, he really did not mind, just as he said.
How will you face him after this?
"I'll listen to Lin Yuan," Yan Zhiyu said immediately upon hearing this.
"Alright then." Seeing that everyone else was saying the same thing, Xie Linbo immediately stopped insisting.
"But you should also be careful. If you encounter any danger, prioritize your own safety." Xie Linyuan was also afraid that this guy would become too attached to his idol image and end up making things difficult for himself.
"Don't worry," Xie Linbo said. "I'll go and meet these guys myself."
Thirteen is right, those guys at the base like to keep things to themselves.
It's not pleasant at all.
Xie Linbo didn't really care who these people were.
