310 The Darkness buried deep (2/2)

”You are not wrong, but not correct.”

Not wrong, but not correct? Han Juahua repeatedly chewed on those words in her mind, even though she knew there wasn't any purpose in thinking about it.

After moments of silence, Han Junhua asked, ”You know in the beginning that this would be the result right?”

He was always more silent compared to anyone else, but he always knew the situation better.

She began to be suspicious.

Academician Qin didn't deny it, but his smile was bitter.

”Mhmm, I don't deny it.”

”Why?” Han Junhua didn't look at him as she still used an emotionless voice to ask.

”I thought you had realized a long time ago.” Academician Qin sighed.

Han Junhua was waiting for the elderly man to continue, but he didn't speak anymore.

”Even in the last moment, you can't tell me the reason?” Han Juahua asked.

Academician Qin only used silence to answer her.

”I have been thinking about a question for a long time. The candidate for the leaders of the fallout shelter, is it based on careful consideration?”

”You can think of it that way,” Academician Qin said in a quiet voice.

”I used the supercomputer at the fallout shelter before to recreate the mathematical model of the population growth curve and the energy consumption speed, but the result I received surprised me… From the start, the energy of the fallout shelter was not enough. Right?”

Academician Qin did not answer.

But in a situation like this, silence was admitting by default.

Looking at the expression on Han Junhua, he knew that she had already guessed it.

Academician Qin let out a sigh as he gently said.

”Could you not serve your duty until the final moment?”

The voice carried a hint of pleading.

”Okay,” Han Juahua said emotionlessly.

Academician Qin asked in surprise.

”Are you not afraid?”

Han Junhua shook her head.

”It's only death.”

Outside the window, Tian Feng had already fallen.

With one hand against the wall, blood dripped from his arms.

He struggled as he raised the pistol to aim with his blood covered left eye.

Perhaps the clip was empty, no bullets came from the dark muzzle.

In that instant, a rioter dashed in front of him, he swung the fire axe and chopped off his head. Blood dripped along the axe as the ”hero” enjoyed the crowd's cheers and hugs.

He swung the axe dripping with blood up with his strong arm. It was like the torch of the statue of liberty.

Throwing the bulletproof vest away, Han Junhua silently watched the last scene.

She noticed the person with the axe smiling insolently at her.

As if it was the smile of the statue of liberty.

Human nature is the burden of survival, but if it were not for this burden, civilization would not exist. But once civilization is born, it must be accompanied by the gruesome brutality.

She seemed to have understood something, but in the attempt to prolong a civilization, an individual's realization would not change anything.

”At the end of the mission, can I ask you a final question?” Han Junhua gazed at him as she said expressionlessly.

Academician Qin was silent.

”I will just assume you have agreed by default,” Han Junhua continued.

She walked to the window as she put her hand gently on the bulletproof window. The axe smashed onto the window where she had placed her finger in an aggressive act.

She felt the light tremble from the tip of her finger as she slowly said.

”Is the window specification of this room built to the lab's standard?”

”Yes.”

Although it was only a single word, it made Han Junhua's cold heart feel a trace of comfort.

The rioters outside the window saw that they could not open the office door, so they brought the welding gun. From the crowd, she saw Wu Yaguo's face and the bruise on his face.

”If you release the explosive gas, you have a chance at killing the people outside the door,” Academician Qin abruptly said.

”Is this part of the experiment?” Han Junhua asked.

He didn't speak anymore as he gave the final choice to her.

Like a pale experimental report was placed in front of her.

Hypothesis: The rationale dictator in the final moment before she is overthrown. Would she choose the lunatic choice to die with everyone?

Han Junhua closed her eyes as she carefully considered for a moment.

”I will not do that.”

Experimental result: False.

”Mhmm.” Academician Qin nodded as a smile with a trace of comfort appeared on his face.

At the end of the smile.

The door collapsed.
