Chapter 452 Special Issues



There are three main topics today.

First, among the 100,000 people sent to other races in the last batch, more than 20,000 were clones. This greatly displeased the other races, who thought humans were cunning, using clones as substitutes. It should be understood that clones can be produced indefinitely as long as the technology is available; in the eyes of the other races, they are essentially commodities. Replacing palatable natural humans with mass-produced commodities is an act of utter contempt.

Based on this, the second batch of people, originally scheduled to be sent next month, was moved up to three days later, and this time there could be no more mixed clones.

Second, the registration and examination for government employees has ended. After various incentive measures, a total of 270,000 people registered. After screening out those with particularly low IQs, about 200,000 people met the requirements. How should these people be handled?

Third, a new profession has recently emerged in the quarantine zone: Virus Infector. It's said that each infection with a special virus earns a reward of 10,000 Sunshine Coins, while curing the infection only costs a maximum of 3,000 Sunshine Coins, resulting in a profit of up to 7,000 Sunshine Coins.

Regarding this emerging profession, the Resource Coordination Committee needs to collectively discuss whether it needs to be controlled and suppressed.

F001 truly hadn't expected that his small-scale operation at the bottom, employing less than two thousand people in just a few days, would generate such a buzz.

This is a money-making model that has never existed in the world before.

People have always made a living through live streaming platforms, selling and reselling goods through personal shops, and earning tips through live streams. Who would have thought that contracting a virus could make money?

Of course, F001 is not a great philanthropist; giving everyone 10,000 Sunshine Coins is not a way for them to get rich.

Each eligible person who is infected with this virus must try a treatment other than organ transplant, and the treatment must not be the same as the one tried before. Only if the treatment fails will they receive a reward of 10,000 Sunshine Coins.

Therefore, the amount of 10,000 Sunshine Coins is determined based on the number of times other treatment methods have been tried.

Moreover, this way of making money will become increasingly difficult over time, as the options available will become fewer and fewer.

Of course, there is a grand prize: if a treatment method other than organ transplantation is discovered, a one-time reward of one million Sunshine Coins can be obtained.

This million Sunshine Coins are like the grand prize in the lottery, encouraging everyone to keep trying.

Some people searched for items in online stores that might have an inhibitory or therapeutic effect on the virus, such as mental cleansing agents, hunger pills, thirst quenchers, and even counteracting agents for various medications. Others bought drugs from hospitals and mixed them themselves to create anti-inflammatory, cough-suppressing, and fever-reducing remedies.

It must be said that those who are naturally gifted in medicine and biology have a great deal of room to develop their talents when given a platform.

If the global healthcare system hadn't been established hundreds of years ago, and all treatment plans hadn't been automated with artificial intelligence, treating diseases wouldn't be so simple and brutal.

However, everyone has become accustomed to this simple and direct approach, since it is efficient, inexpensive, and there is no disease that cannot be cured.

It is unprecedented in hundreds of years that a new profession and a small-scale event involving only two thousand people have risen to the level of the highest government authority's procedures in such a short time.

However, the current resource coordination committee is fragile.

They deeply regretted their inaction back then.

In fact, almost all of them knew about the stand-ins immediately. They even knew that the stand-ins liked to use "hehe" and "haha". With just a little attention, they could find out which IDs were suspicious on the live streaming platform.

In fact, everyone knows that the reason those body doubles appeared was because many people who were afraid of dying wanted to cope with a sudden humanitarian catastrophe.

Many government employees also hire stand-ins.

If someone had raised this issue from the beginning, and everyone had discussed whether to screen for clones before sending personnel to other races, then the subsequent events would not have occurred.

Everyone was thinking that they should avoid it as long as possible, and that if the sky fell, someone taller would hold it up, so no one mentioned the matter.

Therefore, the consequence of not mentioning it is that everyone has to share the responsibility.

The Resource Coordination Committee has dwindled from its initial 17 members to just 9 over the past few months.

There's no way around it; all government departments are laying off staff in various ways. At a time when humanity's survival is at stake, every social class has to pay the price, not just the common people.

Looking at the conference room that could originally accommodate 17 people, now only 9 people are sitting there, and everyone can't help but feel a sense of shared sorrow.

I really don't know when it will be my turn.

The most terrifying thing about being alive is not death itself, but the constant threat of it. The psychological torment of that is unimaginable to those who haven't experienced it.

The host glanced at the audience, sighed slightly, and said, "Let's discuss the last item first."

In the host's view, the last of the three issues is the easiest to handle. It mainly involves a vote on whether or not to continue the current situation. And regardless of the answer, it won't have a significant impact on the overall functioning of society in the short term.

The last item concerns newly emerging professions.

I will begin explaining the situation on the 3rd. The reason I'm speaking on the 3rd is because the 2nd person is no longer here. He was in the previous batch of layoffs, simply because he said something insignificant while watching a live stream. Since they couldn't find anyone else to lay off, they labeled him with "inappropriate remarks" and sent him directly to another region.

Poor number 2, what he said was really harmless.

But whether it's a serious offense or not, isn't it all just a matter of what the higher-ups say?

It's even possible that by watching a live stream and not saying a word, one might be making the mistake of not actively responding to public opinion; conversely, not watching a live stream might be seen as making the mistake of not caring about current events.

In conclusion, under the pressure of layoffs, anything can become a fatal cause.

Although Number 3 succeeded Number 2 and held a position second only to the head of the Resource Coordination Committee, coupled with the committee's prominent role among government departments, he indeed wielded considerable power. However, Number 3 was far from happy.

He began his report with trepidation: "This incident happened about two days ago, and the initiator was an ordinary resident living in Security Zone A."

As soon as this identity was revealed, everyone started discussing it.

What constitutes an ordinary resident living in Safe Zone A?

Can ordinary residents live in Safe Zone A?

"Aren't all the residents of Security Zone A permanent residents of the Security Zone?"

Why would ordinary residents live in Safe Zone A?

"How could an ordinary resident live in Safe Zone A? Where does he live? In the branches of a tree?"

In short, nobody believed that an ordinary resident would live in Safe Zone A.
