156 Killing VIP (XI)
◎For the future of mankind◎
Ninety years ago.
Before humans built high walls, they could still see deserts, forests, and even the ocean.
Fusha Island is just an ordinary seaside island. The island makes a living by fishing. As a niche tourist attraction, tourists come to travel from May to October every year.
The island is not big, and most of the residents know each other. Everyone knows the situation of each family, so no one has any worries.
Bao Ruiming was born on Fusha Island. Normally, he should have lived here all his life like his ancestors, but he had been smart since he was young, and his family had planned to send him to the county junior high school in a few days.
Bao Ruiming spent his entire childhood by the sea. People living inside the wall now may not be able to imagine the sea at all. Standing on the beach, you will feel so small and gain an ultimate peace.
He enjoyed collecting shells from the seashore, watching clams burrow, and picking up stranded fish.
He is fascinated by the ocean. If no one bothers him, Bao Ruiming can stay at the beach for a whole day and a night.
My father joked, "Why not just turn into a fish and return to the sea?"
The neighbor asked, "Is your child born in the wrong womb?"
His elementary school teacher said, "Maybe he can become a marine biologist in the future."
Bao Ruiming didn't want to become a marine biologist, that was out of reach for him at the time, he just loved the ocean.
There is a church on Fusha Island. Every time Bao Ruiming passed by, he would stop and look at it for a while. He kept a distance because adults said it was very scary inside.
It was said that there were corpses everywhere after a war, and the adults also said that there were people shouting inside. Bao Ruiming had never heard it once and wondered if they were just trying to scare the children.
But the church was deeply imprinted in his mind like a shadow, and he still couldn't forget it even after many years.
At that time, Bao Ruiming was just like every other kid, doing stupid things and thinking that he could live the rest of his life in this stupid way.
But the disaster happened, and when Bao Ruiming was ten years old, TV news began to broadcast disaster news.
Global radiation, the cause is unknown, pollutants are rampant, and humans are constantly losing their land.
It spread faster than any zombie movie I've ever seen. It started in a city, then began to spread to a province, a country, and a continent.
During that period, the news was full of lost battles. Every day we heard about new land disappearing and humans becoming pollutants.
Humanity has been continuously evacuating, and the safety line is getting narrower and narrower.
A shadow hangs over Fusha Island. Those who have the conditions or have heard the news have already fled, and the remaining residents stay indoors, not knowing when the pollution will come to Fusha Island.
Bao Ruiming lost the opportunity to go to the beach because it was difficult to judge whether there were unknown pollutants in the deep ocean. For safety reasons, Bao Ruiming could only lie by the window and look at the sea.
Bad news comes one after another.
Humans were unable to remove the pollution, so they gathered global resources at the time to build the current high wall. Humans began to establish survivor bases to preserve human genes.
Soon it was the turn of Fusha Island. In response to the call of the Federation, all surviving humans entered the high wall life and all residents of Fusha Island evacuated.
They had to leave their homeland and left in a hurry that day. The relief ship would dock for twenty minutes, and they would leave immediately when the time was up.
They had no time to pack and hurriedly grabbed some necessities.
The ferry was full of refugees. The conditions were terrible and people were crowded together. They ate, drank, defecated, urinated and slept in the same place. As soon as they got on the boat, they could smell a strong stench.
The moment they boarded the ship, the rescue ship set sail immediately.
Bao Ruiming watched the ship leave the dock. Many people did not have time to get on board. They shouted loudly at the dock to wait, and some even jumped into the sea to chase after it, but the rescue ship left without mercy and did not stay for even a minute.
They were completely abandoned.
From that day on, it was a survival elimination round, and Bao Ruiming got the chance to survive in the first round.
Bao Ruiming kept looking towards the pier, not because he had any feelings for the residents, but because he was reluctant to leave the island.
Only when the familiar coastline completely disappeared from sight did Bao Ruiming withdraw his gaze and turn his attention to the boat.
In Bao Ruiming's world, this ship is like Noah's Ark.
Both parents felt fortunate to receive free federal aid, but they were also worried about the future, having no idea where their fate would lead.
Next, they sailed in the vast ocean, with no idea where they were and no reference points.
On the third day, the ship docked. They were covered in stench and were stuffed into the bus without even having time to take a shower. After riding on the bus for four days, they finally saw the high wall.
Human beings have built high walls, so huge, like a mountain, which isolate the pollution from the outside world like a solid wall of steel.
Contamination spores will not float in.
This was also the first time that Bao Ruiming saw a high wall. The ten-year-old child felt depressed standing below.
Without the vastness of the sea, it's just a wall.
The mother hugged Bao Ruiming and his brother and brought them into the city wall.
People began to use the new calendar, and life before that was collectively referred to as the Old World.
They were the first citizens of the New World, and starting from their descendants, humans tacitly accepted that they should live within walls.
It was a time of chaos and disorder. The survivors all lived in federal aid stations and did the lowest level of labor for the first three years.
The construction of the new world required the reinforcement of high walls, and there was a huge demand for steel. Bao Ruiming's family all worked in the steel factory, and his parents went from being fishermen to steel workers.
They were paid a pittance and could buy the cheapest food, such as potatoes or some tasteless nutritional meals.
Bao Ruiming and his family lived in a small, 15-square-meter apartment, sleeping on two bunk beds. They could hear each other's movements clearly. Late at night, Bao Ruiming drew the bed curtains tightly, and a picture of the sea was taped to the wall.
He dreams every night of the floating sand island, his home lost forever.
Three years passed like this. In the third year, the Federation announced that all humans had to save themselves. In order to increase the survival rate, they launched a genetic screening program.
Based on genes, the best people are first-class citizens. They are the most suitable to survive and the most suitable to save mankind.
Bao Ruiming's entire family participated in genetic screening, and the results came out quickly. According to the genetic screening standards, Bao Ruiming was a first-class citizen.
His parents and younger brother were all defective products.
To everyone's surprise, a man from a small fishing village actually has perfect genes.
However, it was later proved to be true. Bao Ruiming could easily get the first place in the class in his studies, and his physical fitness was even good. In all aspects, he was perfect below the standard.
He qualified for the first zone.
The parents begged the Federation to let his younger brother enter District 1 together, saying, "They are the same, why can't he?"
My brother was rejected.
It's very strange. They are obviously a family, but after genetic screening, they don't even look like the same species.
The gap between people is greater than the gap between people and dogs.
At this time, Bao Ruiming faced a choice: to stay at the bottom with his parents, or to enter the first district and enjoy the world of the upper class.
Thanks to the genetic screening system, an ordinary fishing villager was given a second chance to be reborn.
Bao Ruiming had witnessed chaos and disorder at that time, and he longed for knowledge, wealth, and social status.
Bao Ruiming was very young at that time and realized the underlying color of the world very early on.
First, the existing rules are ridiculous.
Second, only those who make the rules have the right to speak.
So Bao Ruiming made a very decisive choice. He went to District 1 and he wanted to be the one who made the rules.
As one of the first first-class citizens of the Federation, Bao Ruiming shoulders the heavy responsibility of building human society. He must ensure world peace and stability and preserve the spark of hope.
Bao Ruiming entered the first district and became a member of the privileged class.
Bao Ruiming successfully completed his studies and graduated from the First Military Region University.
Bao Ruiming's research direction is the ocean. As a first-class citizen, he has many rights. At that time, human investigation and research on pollution was still in its infancy. Human beings have not given up exploring the world outside the wall, and investigating the truth left behind in the old world.
When he was 25 years old, he learned that a survey team would pass by Fusha Island.
He used his privilege to allow the survey team to go to Fusha Island, on the grounds that they wanted to bring back more precious marine life samples to help human research on marine life.
In fact, Bao Ruiming wanted to see what Fusha Island looked like now.
He misses his hometown very much.
Later the survey team came back. There were sixteen people who went, and only three came back. They didn't bring back any valuable marine life, but they did bring back a barnacle shell.
That was the entire achievement of the investigation team. Thirteen of them died just to bring back a barnacle shell for Bao Ruiming.
Bao Ruiming could understand that feeling of disparity. The survivors at that time looked upon the first-class citizens with almost hatred.
On the contrary, Bao Ruiming didn't feel anything. He later found it hard to understand. If Bao Ruiming had not undergone genetic screening, he would have been an ordinary little man in a fishing village. Even if he had entered the wall, he might have just been a steel worker.
As someone who had climbed up from the bottom, he should have been able to empathize with the other party, but he felt nothing at all. In his opinion, the death of thirteen people was not even as good as the death of thirteen fish.
Their value is too low, and Bao Ruiming's value is too high.
It’s not that Bao Ruiming thinks he is superior, it’s the existing rules that have brought him to this position.
So this is privilege.
When he was at the relief station, he would wonder if the privileged class would feel guilty or suffer when doing these things.
The answer is no. The moment people have privileges, they lose all sense and all absurdity becomes normal.
Defective products feel that the existing rules are unfair, and first-class citizens also feel that the existing rules are ridiculous.
It's a pity that only the first generation of first-class citizens have such thoughts. Bao Ruiming has seen both worlds, and at least he would reflect on it at this time.
Later first-class citizens will not even reflect on themselves, and they will be more content to enjoy the existing achievements.
Social Darwinism, when everything is aligned with the highest interests, human society is bound to be like this.
The barnacles brought by the investigation team were useless, so Bao Ruiming began to study the video footage of the investigation team. Bao Ruiming had never been out of the prison, and he was very curious about the outside world.
Unexpectedly, he opened a door invisibly.
The survey team recorded the present-day floating sand island.
Fusha Island was surprisingly no different from when Bao Ruiming left, with warm and soft sand and a towering church.
The people who stayed on the floating sand island evolved gills. They reproduced on the floating sand island, and their descendants all had the characteristics of fish. They could walk on land and live in the ocean.
Their houses are covered with barnacles because the sea rises and falls every day, and they are used to the world of rising tides.
The fish in the sea also evolved, and they developed human faces. For a time, humans and fish blended with each other, and it was difficult to tell whether they were mermaids or fish-men.
Humans can eat fish, and human-headed fish also eat humans. When outsiders enter, they will be lured and assimilated, becoming part of the food chain.
Every detail is perfect, impeccable.
The deaths of the investigation team members were valuable. They brought a new world to Bao Ruiming at the cost of their own lives.
Bao Ruiming decided to upload his consciousness to the cloud, and got a chance to fabricate his own world with code. He created a virtual world based on the real floating sand island.
Bao Ruiming cannot create the food chain. The food chain already exists, and that is the ultimate nature.
The art created by nature far surpasses all human technology.
When Bao Ruiming became one of the first first-class citizens, he swore: I will lead mankind to a better future.
Bao Ruiming spent the first half of his life believing that this sentence was meant to lead mankind to resist pollutants. The first batch of first-class citizens have been working towards this goal. They have created artificial humans, robots, clones and other tool humans.
Cars can fly in the sky, humans can modify their own genes, technology is updated every ten years, and their lives are better than before.
But humanity has been losing land, and the trend is unstoppable.
It was only after Bao Ruiming watched the videotape that he realized the true meaning of this sentence.
Can't humans coexist with pollutants?
What if this is the trend of the times? What if floating sand islands are humanity's future?
Nature will make the choice, and humans only need to follow the laws of nature and allow humans and pollutants to merge.
He returned to the relief station where he worked. This place had been divided into Area 103 and became the garbage dump of the entire federation.
Because of the poor living conditions, Bao Ruiming's parents have passed away and his younger brother died from metal pollution.
Bao Ruiming did not have the time to see them for the last time, and did not even contact them after entering the first zone.
Bao Ruiming took root in District 103 and founded the Mechanical Oceanarium, dedicated to protecting marine life.
He dealt with aquatic creatures every day and conducted various experiments using the aquatic creatures in his hands, but the results were very little. He was unable to create the fish-men on the floating sand island.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't do it. Later, the Invisible Man project was the result of his thirty years of dedicated research.
Compared with the power of nature, a person is so insignificant, and his research is so slow that he may not succeed even after hundreds of years.
Days passed and he was forty years old.
At the time, he thought his future was just like that and that he would never be able to realize his great ambitions.
One day he was wandering around the area and saw an old church that was left from before the land was acquired by the federal government.
At that moment, Bao Ruiming thought he had traveled through time and returned to Fusha Island, but when he looked again, he found that the two churches were not the same, but very similar.
The same spire, the same eerie atmosphere. Lights were turned on late at night, and chanting could be heard from inside.
Bao Ruiming had never been to the church on Fusha Island. He stood at the door for a long time that day and always felt that this place attracted him invisibly.
Humans are always attracted to the same things.
People in District 103 do not believe in ghosts and gods. The interior of the church is empty, the stained glass is covered with dust, and the statues and sculptures inside are all old.
He saw no chanting congregants, but the door leading to the basement glowed red.
That day, Bao Ruiming just went in to take a look, and he heard a sound, something calling him...
He promised to give him strength.
It was difficult for Bao Ruiming to describe his feelings that day. He felt like a long-lost child who had found his mother. He cried bitterly in the church.
If outsiders saw him, they would definitely find it strange that a first-class citizen in a suit and tie was kneeling and crying in the church.
Praise Him who is great.
Bao Ruiming made his choice and he made a deal.
He was willing to sacrifice his brain and let his body become a container to revive the great god.
On the day God descends, Area 103 will become an island of floating sand.
Now in the same church, in the cloud of his consciousness, the statue has been destroyed by Zhu Ning.
Zhu Ning's question reminded him of his past. He still felt shocked when he thought of that day, as if his heart was trembling.
But there is no need to let Zhu Ning know these things.
Zhu Ning invaded his consciousness body in the cloud. It didn't matter if Zhu Ning died first and then Bao Ruiming died.
It’s just the last step, he wants to send Zhu Ning on his way.
Zhu Ning lay on the ground like his sacrifice, half of his face was covered in blood, his whole body was soaked in a pool of blood, and there were blood beads on his eyelashes.
But the look in his eyes was very strange. They were a pair of very calm eyes, without any fear or doubt, just like a cold machine.
From Bao Ruiming's perspective, Zhu Ning was actually very beautiful. She was the best sacrifice. Even when her wings were broken and she was trapped in a cage, she did not show any vulnerable expression.
Bao Ruiming did not communicate much with Zhu Ning. He was like an executioner carrying out his task.
With a puff—
Without hesitation, Bao Ruiming dug his long pliers into Zhu Ning's heart, pinning her to the ground. Zhu Ning just widened her eyes and didn't even cry out in pain.
For the future of mankind.
This is what Bao Ruiming once swore, and he did it.
