Chapter 169 Perspective

After sending the message, Ji Zai went to the top floor.

The helicopter is just sitting there.

Because of other people's illness.

Not many people can pull through.

Even though he was sick, Ouyang Yi got up and asked, "Alliance Leader, are you going out now?"

Ji Zai nodded. She could actually fly a plane, but she hadn't done so before because she didn't need to.

However, Nan Yao, who is the driver, is not feeling well right now, so he can't take her.

The record must be done by oneself.

She boarded the plane, checked its condition, and found it to be in excellent condition. "I'm leaving now."

Looking at her posture, Ouyang Yi paused for a moment, then asked, "Is it serious?"

She was asking about this illness.

It came on strong.

Everyone collapsed in an instant.

It's even worse than the last heat wave.

During the high temperatures, they collapsed one after another, in a specific order.

But now, they fell at almost the same time.

There was absolutely no warning.

Ouyang Yi wondered if the virus had evolved, or if they had unknowingly become this weak.

Since the virus struck.

Ji Zao said he exercised every day.

I don't aim to become incredibly strong, I just want to boost my immunity and get the amount of exercise I did in the previous year.

Even so, they still couldn't escape the virus's attack.

The virus is indeed becoming stronger rapidly.

Or do they simply lack the ability to resist the virus?

Ouyang Yi kept frowning as she thought about it.

After hearing this, Ji Zai remained silent for a while, then nodded. "It's very serious. I thought that strengthening the body's immunity would reduce the harm of the virus, but I was wrong. A virus is still a virus."

"Although we have a certain degree of immunity to the virus."

"But it is only certain, not that it has the ability to be completely immune."

She said, "Remember the data we found? I've never quite understood why someone in the lab would betray the lab, even though the virus originated from there."

"But they didn't spread it intentionally."

"Since it wasn't intentional, they could only be accomplices at most. They should have reported it to their superiors immediately to minimize the impact of the virus. But unknowingly, the virus still spread throughout Ning City."

After Ji Zai finished speaking, he paused and looked at Ouyang Yi, "Did the people in the lab really not report it to their superiors the moment they realized the virus had leaked?"

Ouyang Yi shook her head blankly. She didn't know; she wasn't a participant, so she didn't know.

Seeing her blank expression, Ji Zai chuckled, "At first, I thought there wasn't any. The evidence was the document I obtained, and that researcher whose name I didn't know."

"He helped hold off the zombie army, but died in front of the school gate."

"According to his words, the laboratory was responsible for this disaster because, as a human being, he couldn't bear to see so many innocent people suffer, so he defected from the laboratory."

As Ji Zai finished speaking, his voice lowered, "But was it really a defection? The moment the people from the lab came out, their words showed that they weren't good people. Coupled with the words of the researchers who escaped, I formed a stereotype about the lab."

They believe that they are the culprits behind the end times.

"But after I confronted them, I realized that I was still too naive."

"I think I wronged the lab."

Upon hearing this conclusion, Ouyang Yi was bewildered.

The apocalypse was brought about by the laboratory.

—The laboratory is guilty.

This understanding is a consensus across the entire city of Ning.

Prior to this, Ouyang Yi had always believed that even if the laboratory was indeed forced into this situation, a mistake was a mistake, the virus did originate from them, and they were also responsible for the heavy casualties in Ning City.

The laboratory remains the villain, responsible for these enormous casualties, and must pay the price.

This has always been Ouyang Yi's idea.

But now, Ji Zai says that the laboratory is innocent.

This completely shattered Ouyang Yi's original plan.

She opened her mouth and said, "I don't understand what you're saying."

As Ji Zai had anticipated, she recalled the clues she had obtained and said, "The reason that researcher escaped was because he believed that the laboratory was disregarding human life and was the culprit behind Ning City becoming like this."

"But from his perspective, how did he arrive at this conclusion?"

"From a researcher's most intuitive perspective, the most straightforward way to judge right and wrong is to look at the course and impact of the event after it occurs."

"The laboratory was already researching the limits of human capabilities and conducting related experiments, which led to the creation of the virus."

"One day, the virus suddenly broke out, and those infected turned into zombies. However, the laboratory discovered that the values ​​possessed by the zombies were exactly the values ​​they had been trying to obtain throughout their experiments. At this time, the virus became even more rampant. As a researcher, how do you think this situation came about?"

Ouyang Yi paused for a moment before replying, "I'll start to suspect the lab, and wonder if they deliberately spread the virus for experimental purposes."

Ji Zai nodded, "That's right, I started to have doubts and looked for a series of evidence, but the evidence I found told me that the virus was spreading and that the higher-ups seemed unaware of it."

"What do you think I should do in this situation?"

Ouyang Yi stopped talking. As a researcher with a conscience, he naturally passed on the data and information.

I thought of that researcher who died at the school gate.

She fell silent.

Ji Zai chuckled. "Look, the virus is getting worse and the number of zombies is increasing. The higher-ups are keeping quiet. All these things are telling that the lab is behind this, that the lab is fueling the fire, that the lab is deceiving its superiors, which is why this tragedy happened."

"That's the researcher's perspective."

“We started from the same perspective.”

"But in reality, that researcher only saw part of it. He only used the virus's out-of-control behavior and the laboratory's actions as evidence to conclude that the laboratory was to blame."

Ji Zai laughed as he recounted this, "But from the laboratory's perspective, they were conducting experiments in a very proper manner, but for some reason, they created a virus, and the virus was out of control, spreading towards Ning City. They were in a panic, and in order to suppress the virus, they could only select unlucky people infected with the virus to conduct experiments."

"Using people as test subjects, the experiment is done, the reputation is lost, but the virus still exists."

"The laboratory realized that they could not control the virus, and the virus was spreading throughout Ning City as a result."

"There was no other way but to evacuate the laboratory, and while evacuating, we continued to monitor the virus situation in Ning City."

"When the virus concentration in Ning City was found to be increasing, or when a large-scale outbreak was discovered, it was controlled in time. How was it controlled... oh."

"This led to the tragedy."

Ji Zai laughed, "See? Aren't both sides' perspectives hilarious!"

"But from our perspective, we are uncovering the truth from countless hidden past events. At first, we thought the laboratory was the BOSS, so we had a cold and serious attitude towards the laboratory."

“We had previously mistakenly believed that rain was a virus, so we questioned the lab about it, putting the lab in the spotlight.”

"It's true that rain can turn viruses into zombies, but rainwater is rainwater and a laboratory is a laboratory. Mixing the two together led to the conclusion that rain can turn people into zombies. But can we conclude from this that the laboratory turned us into zombies?"

"No, that's not accurate. We can only say that the lab mixed something into the rain, causing people to turn into zombies when it rains."

"If a laboratory can mix in viruses, it can also mix in antidotes, or rather, inhibitors that can suppress a full-scale outbreak of the virus."

"The medicine mixed all the virus into the rain, which is why the rain is so toxic."

"This is how the laboratory is controlled."

The record states, "This is the perspective of the early apocalypse, the laboratory perspective, and our perspective."

"It's a complete mess."

"So I think we can't let things get any worse. If we all become wary, act independently, and try to survive on our own, we'll fall apart. If this continues, we'll be swallowed up by the virus sooner or later."
