"Rebirth After the Apocalypse" - No Rebirth (Part 4)...
The system immediately became agitated again.
"But this is the end times, not ancient times. In ancient times, whether it was a rebellion or a coup, there was always a way to survive, and not everyone would be left to die."
"In the end times, even the smallest mistake will cost all of humanity. The foundation of human rights is survival. If we cannot even survive, how can we talk about human rights?"
Ye Xiqing couldn't help but laugh: "So you do know this falls under the category of human rights. You're right, any small mistake will cost all of humanity, especially the mistakes of rulers."
"They must have been brainwashed to develop a system that tramples on the human rights of half of the genders in a context where all of humanity needs to survive. It is only natural that they would be devoured by such an inhumane system."
"If humanity is destroyed as a result, it will not be the fault of the rebels, but rather the fault of those who have so easily handed over their fate to their foolish leaders."
"When oppression reaches its extreme, it leads to resistance. This is the answer that history has repeatedly shown to humanity. With nine years of compulsory education being so widespread, there should be no one who doesn't know this."
"To place the hope of humanity's rise on the fact that half of the sexes will not resist and will be willing to sacrifice is itself a reckless gamble."
“Once the betting has started, winning or losing is the outcome. You can’t just laugh and joke when you win and throw a tantrum when you lose.”
"The fall of any dynasty in history is always lamented, because it represents the demise of a civilization and the displacement of countless people during times of chaos."
"But the fall of a dynasty never stops because of regret. Before that, the evil consequences of foolishness and greed have already piled up to the point that everyone is destroyed."
"The folly of the oppressor can often hold many people hostage, while the tolerance of the oppressed seems to come at no cost."
"Therefore, people prefer to skip blaming the oppressors and instead ask the oppressed to continue to sacrifice, and pour all their gains and losses into the oppressors' willingness to sacrifice."
"The discussion about mistakes that affect all of humanity has focused on whether women should overturn the table after the system was created, rather than whether the system was reasonable at its inception."
"The human instinct to bully the weak is to seek advantage and avoid harm, but the system, by standing on the side of fools and defending foolishness, is already part of the foolishness itself."
"The unfair thing about history is that fools can gain power through power structures and force a group of people to be foolish involuntarily."
"The fairness of history lies in the fact that, whether voluntary or involuntary, once stupidity is involved, one will inevitably pay the price for it, regardless of subjective will."
"Why do you think the end times will be different from any other historical period? The past, present, and future are always a continuous trinity, not just a change of name and a change of operating rules."
"When the whip is lashed out in the name of the greater good, do you still think I'll consider the greater good?"
"When all of humanity stops treating me like a human being, do you think I'll still treat them like human beings?"
system:……
Ye Xiqing, who believes in historical nihilism, has actually started to promote the correctness of history and the unity of past, present, and future.
"However, different situations should be discussed separately. In the post-apocalyptic context, making women full-time to reproduce is not an oppression of women's human rights, but a special and unconventional means implemented in a special period for the survival of all mankind."
"The Huiyang Base is such a large base, yet it only has a thousand people. If the women don't work hard to have children and increase the population, even a slightly larger catastrophe could wipe out humanity."
"Not allowing women to participate in social labor and field work is not about restricting their freedom, but about protecting their lives."
"Field work is the most dangerous department. Even if women aren't prohibited from doing it, can women even do it?"
"Women are inherently more responsible for childbirth due to their physiological functions."
"You can't talk about human rights when you're enjoying the benefits, but talk about harm when you have to pay the price."
"Power and responsibility are inseparable; those who enjoy power must naturally bear responsibility!"
"Oh?" Ye Xiqing looked at the system with great interest.
What a righteous and glorious statement! She was almost blinded by the system's sense of justice.
"Since rights and responsibilities are inherently linked, and one reaps what one sows, then women who bear the responsibility for the continuation of all human life, and whose lives all begin with women, must have made great contributions and received excellent treatment. The high-ranking officials of the base must all be women."
system:……
Seeing that it didn't speak, Ye Xiqing continued to ask, "If it's not entirely true, then is it 9:1?"
system:……
"There must be at least a 5:5 ratio, right?"
system:……
"Ha, it can't be 0, right?"
system:……
The system that discovered the vulnerability struggled to speak: "Of course it's not 0. You saw it before, didn't you? Luan Anchun is a high-ranking female executive. She has a lot of influence in the base. In fact, the original owner was originally a member of the field team."
"As long as you have the strength, the base will not prohibit women from going out to work. As an ability user, the original owner could work as a field worker."
"Ordinary women don't have the ability to go out on missions, and childbirth would also affect their work. Civilized society can treat women well, but the doomsday base needs to maximize the value of everyone!"
Ye Xiqing no longer wanted to laugh.
"First of all, civilized society does not offer preferential treatment. It's just that you still have to rely on women for your birth, so you have to say a few nice words. In reality, discrimination will still exist. Women stand firm in society despite all kinds of hidden discrimination. It's not your preferential treatment."
"Secondly, where does the value of that man I shot in the head lie? Is he more likely to betray his teammates, or more likely to get shot in the head? He's not even a superhuman."
"The original owner could only participate in field missions because she was a superhuman. He can come just by grabbing his head. An ordinary male is equivalent to a female superhuman. Is this how you maximize your value?"
system:……
"But field work is a very dangerous job. Women have the more precious function of reproduction, which should not be wasted. The reason why ordinary men can participate is because the end times also exploit men and treat them as waste materials."
Ye Xiqing didn't pause for a moment: "In the medical conditions of the apocalypse, is childbirth a very safe thing?"
"Are women whose bodies are worn down by childbirth and men injured in the field given the same compensation?"
"When a woman gives birth, is she given the same credit as a man working in the field when they receive resources?"
"Will having more children be seen as a badge of honor for career advancement, with higher positions awarded for more children?"
"Is it still true that men's labor is considered labor, while women's labor is considered glorious dedication?"
system:……
Ye Xiqing's mind was still as sharp as ever, and her tongue was still as eloquent as ever, leaving the system speechless.
Unable to reason with them, I simply stopped talking.
The system, in a completely defiant manner, looked down at Ye Xiqing and said, "That's just how reality is. What can you do? Can you think of a way to continue the lineage when there are only a thousand people in the base without exploiting women's reproductive capacity?"
"Don't let the people who exploit women's fertility end up perpetuating humanity, while you, who speak up for women, end up causing the extinction of humanity."
"What's the difference between a theory that can't be based on reality and empty talk?"
"Heh." Ye Xiqing really wanted to laugh.
"You've created a world where an asteroid hits Earth, all nuclear weapons explode, humanity survives, and even develops superpowers—and you're still talking to me about reality?"
"If we're really talking about reality, then you should know that women have always performed exceptionally well in enduring harsh living environments."
"From birth, if the sperm quality is poor, there is a high probability that only the girl will survive."
"You're dreaming if women can't outlive men in the mutated apocalypse."
"Even if it progresses to the point where women are used as reproductive tools, it will be found that most newborns are girls, while boys cannot survive in the embryonic stage."
"How can you become the master if you can't even gain an advantage in numbers?"
"In a picture where women clearly have the advantage, you reverse the order and create a drama of women being degraded, and then you still want to talk about reality."
"If you ask me, the real reality is that a large number of women who survived the apocalypse began to study how to save men who had become an endangered species."
"They designed such an extreme, castle-in-the-sky setting, and they still have the nerve to talk about reality."
"However, there are advantages to extremes. Building post-apocalyptic infrastructure step by step can be a bit boring."
"Since you've given me such an extreme background, of course there will be extreme ways to play, hehe."
system:……
Having experienced the previous worlds, the system was already familiar with it. Every time Ye Xiqing laughed like that, someone was about to be in big trouble.
Therefore, this world didn't put much effort into the male protagonist, but won over the audience purely through its worldview.
The extreme oppression of the apocalyptic worldview is that it contains absolutely no exaggeration.
Moreover, because it concerns the survival of all humankind, it is different from ancient times.
Ancient times are the past. Viewers may like a certain dynasty, but they will not feel a real sense of identification with it.
Whether it's a power grab, a coup, or a change of dynasty, as long as it's interesting, the audience will enjoy watching it.
However, the apocalypse is equivalent to the future, and everyone has the potential to reach that day, so everyone can feel a sense of participation.
In ancient times, viewers could easily sympathize with women who were unwilling to be exploited by childbirth. But what if in the future, they themselves could only rely on birth and continuation to survive?
When it comes to their own survival, even the most civilized person will feel that the sacrifice is worthwhile. The audience may outwardly support Ye Xiqing, but inwardly have doubts, and that is how the purpose is achieved.
However, Ye Xiqing never dwells on the questions posed, but always gets straight to the heart of the matter.
Now, even those who enjoy discussing "survival and destruction" are no longer focused on that topic; instead, they are condemning the world's worldview as fundamentally irrational!
It used its worldview to suppress Ye Xiqing, and Ye Xiqing made its audience feel that the worldview it provided was unreasonable!
Such a precise strike was like the dagger she plunged precisely into the villain's throat, killing him instantly without any effort.
The system, trying to compose its nearly shattered heart, forced a smile and said, "Then good luck, host! Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth. I look forward to seeing a different outcome from you."
The system store will definitely not be opened for her!
Ye Xiqing looked back at the system and rediscovered the joy of playing the game.
Of course, she will win back everything she lost in the last world in this one.
...
Ye Xiqing and the system were at odds again, and the response to the base was simple: no, they don't accept men.
The people at the base were dumbfounded. They never expected that someone would have such a personal tantrum in the apocalypse, and they took turns trying to talk her out of it.
Ye Xiqing looked at everyone with a half-smile: "The few doses of medicine I gave you are enough to repay the kindness the base has shown me."
“If our ideologies don’t align, I can leave the base; there’s no need to force it.”
Base leadership: ...
Given Ye Xiqing's demonstrated strength, Huiyang Base would definitely not want to let her go, but the knowledge was already in her mind, and they couldn't force it out.
The group exchanged glances and agreed to Ye Xiqing's request.
If you're going to bring women, then bring women. We'll talk about it after we've learned how to do it.
Not all women are unreasonable. As a community for shared survival in the apocalypse, we should all give our all and work together to ensure the continuation of humanity.
Ye Xiqing is talented, but her intellectual level is not high, which instantly cooled the enthusiasm of the base's higher-ups for her.
If technology that affects all of humanity is in the hands of people who prioritize self-interest, humanity will eventually become extinct.
We need to train someone to replace her as soon as possible, and carefully select from among her trainees.
Ye Xiqing knew what the base's higher-ups were thinking, but she didn't care; she was admiring her prosthetic limb.
Ye Xiqing originally liked the post-apocalyptic wasteland setting where the body and machine were combined, and she was quite excited when she first got her prosthetic limbs.
She wants something that can be driven by nerves, not only capable of flexible movements but also instantly transforming, preferably with a particle cannon or something, so it can be fired directly when in danger.
The person who forged her prosthetic limb: ...
Do I look like a particle cannon to you?
In a post-apocalyptic world, not to mention manufacturing technology, even metal resources are precious. How could there possibly be such high-tech prosthetics?
The steel used to make her prosthetic limbs was obtained through a report and application process. The forger was a metal-type ability user that Luan Anchun had arranged for her, which can be described as extravagant and wasteful.
Anyway, Ye Xiqing didn't want to pretend to be down-to-earth anymore, so she decided to be extravagant and wanted the most luxurious prosthetic limb.
The final product is a detachable steel hand with a fixed point at the wrist and a chain-fixed anti-slip point at the upper arm. The connection can be opened with a buckle for easy assembly and disassembly.
Otherwise, with such rudimentary craftsmanship, wearing it all the time would be no different from being a torture device.
Because her finger joints couldn't open and close properly, Ye Xiqing didn't ask for any specific design for her hand. She simply asked the blacksmith to make her a steel claw modeled after the "scissor hand."
With the mechanical enhancement, not only did her combat power receive an epic boost, but it could also serve as a knife and fork when eating, compensating for her less proficient use of chopsticks with her left hand.
However, Ye Xiqing did not give up training her left hand just because of the convenience of the prosthetic limb. She quickly got used to using her left hand to do basic things.
Once she had mastered using her left hand, Ye Xiqing would close the door and do things that only she could do.
She had a rather frightening-looking needle in her hand, which medical students were very familiar with before the apocalypse; it was called a bone marrow aspiration needle.
It would be terrifying to use it on a living person, but thankfully it was used on a dead person.
The bracelet's internal preservation function is less like refrigeration and more like time standing still; Wang Tao, placed inside, is still very fresh.
Ye Xiqing forcefully pierced the needle.
I'm really curious about the genes of superhumans.
