i live in a desert island property.

Chapter 170 If you want to improve, you have to pay a price
"Aww?!" Brother Hao saw that his master's condition had improved, grabbed the edge of the bed with his two front legs, shook his butt excitedly, and almost licked Lao Zhang's face with his pink tongue.

"Oh, oh! You have always taken care of me, thank you." Zhang Ming patted its furry dog's head and laughed.

Brother Hao really showed the loyal side of the dog. Under its care, Zhang Ming was almost thirsty to death!

Well, there is hard work without credit.

"Did that turtle play with the computer?"

"If you keep playing all day long, I'll see if you don't want to kill it!" Old Zhang had a malicious smile on his face.

Turning on the computer, as a programmer, he naturally did some tricks in the computer, at least a few hours a day can still be recorded.

Unexpectedly, Xiaobai only played on the computer for a while on the weekend, which was the same as the agreement!
"Could it be that Shimama's ancestor disciplined it?"

Strolling around on the deck to breathe fresh air, Xiaobai and the pelican flew out to hunt, only Shimama stuck to the mast, basking in the sun as always.

"Hi, Shimama, the poor servant girl!"

"My maidservant, Zhang Ming, hello!" Shi Mama said, "Is it time for hunting?"

"I have to wait a little longer. I'm a little weak now. I need to study my soul avatar again and finish some funeral affairs along the way." Zhang Ming looked at the clear blue sky and the endless sea.

"Following?"

"You don't think it's risk-free to be an ant, Mutu, a giant, right?" Zhang Ming sighed.

Since Xiaobai got the soul-fixing gun, he played more and more fancy games, riding a pelican to fly far away to hunt big fish every day.

He also let it go, and would not restrain too much.

"Xiaobai, Brother Hao, you should follow the pelican and escape to a distant place, otherwise, even if you have the source of the world, you may not be able to protect it."

Suddenly, there was a telepathy in my heart.

[Your letter. 】

It turned out that the drift bottle had arrived.

I have been stuck in this sea area for 14 months...

A subtle sense of urgency rose in Zhang Ming's heart.

After picking up the drift bottle, a customary USB flash drive, and some letters from relatives.

In 14 months, the changes are not too big for the earth. It is just that the size of some cities has expanded, some officials have changed, and relatives and friends have aged one year...

The 31-year-old sister is pregnant again. I don't know if it is a son or a daughter. A new life is being conceived...

Giving birth to two children is considered a major event in life. No matter whether it is the elders or the country and society, it is impossible to find any faults.

Zhang Ming was in a complicated mood. When he thought that he was about to face the terrifying fact that he was 36 years old, his heart shuddered, and he couldn't help sighing in a low voice: "I'm going to be [-] soon!!"

A deep voice said in my mind: Don't worry, in a few years, you will soon be a little old man who is going to be five!

There was another babbling in the dark, bewitching: Don't worry, round up, you have already run a hundred.

Old Zhang knew that these voices were explaining the facts.

But I always feel that they are very noisy, so why don't you say something nice to comfort them?

As for the earth, there have been several disasters of a small size, but compared to the "Soul Breaker", they are too gentle, even if humans don't use nuclear bombs, they can be resolved successfully.

Wang Fumin wrote in his letter: "Old Zhang, how is your life these days? Another year has passed, a year without achievements, but a year full of achievements."

"Comrade Li Xianfeng should have broadcast it on the radio. Several serious supernatural disasters have occurred on the earth, killing and injuring hundreds of thousands of people. This directly proves the importance of the supernatural investigation department."

"If there is no global cooperation mechanism, some originally insignificant disasters will be enlarged and become more serious. Therefore, after these severe disasters, the constraints of all parties have been greatly reduced, and the cooperation among countries has become much smoother. "

"The team members have become more obedient, and there have been fewer delays in funding."

"Oh?" Lao Zhang sighed in doubt, did it go so smoothly?

Lao Wang's handwriting is vigorous and powerful, with a thick and round feeling like Yan Zhenqing's.

The imprint of the pen remains on the paper, which means that when Lao Wang wrote the letter, he had a subtle emotion.

Wang Fumin continued to write: "But in fact, we used some political skills to achieve this goal."

"Some signs of disaster, we have discovered very early, and we can cut them off immediately."

"But we deliberately didn't deal with it, but let it go. Some people didn't need to die, but they just died."

"I say this, I don't know if you can understand."

"This is not a natural disaster, but..."

"This is the first time I have seen the dark side. In order to achieve my goal, I will use any means. Many times, this kind of behavior is even more painful than the time when I lost my wife. My ability of [Heavenly Fiend Lone Star] exploded, and I may become stronger Some ... but so many people died because of it, I wondered, what's the point of doing this job?"

"My boss, Qin Yiwei, told me that when we choose to take this path, we must pay a price."

"I asked him, why don't we pay the price ourselves, but let ordinary people pay with their lives?"

"He said that when the price comes to him, he will bear it, but this time it is not his turn yet."

"Keep in mind what our ultimate goal is. We need to achieve the unification of the entire Pangea continent. This is a difficult and ambitious goal. The integration of the supernatural investigation department is just a small first step, not even a prelude. The whole process , must require a cruel wrist and a steely will."

"I admit to myself that I don't have this kind of skill, nor will I. I'm discouraged, but I can't do anything about it."

"Wang Fumin, leave a note."

Zhang Ming understood what Wang Fumin was writing.The ambitious goals they want to achieve are too difficult and full of obstacles, and they must go through some means and paths that contradict their beliefs.

How should we choose at this time?
Since Lao Wang awakened [Sky Fiend Lone Star], his combat power has improved by leaps and bounds, and he can be regarded as the top level of human beings.

But the quality of life is getting worse day by day, with one annoyance in the east and another annoyance in the west.

Originally, it was just the pain of the death of a loved one, but after a while, it will be relieved. There is always a banquet in the world. Parting from life to death is something everyone has to endure.

But now, that pain has swelled directly to the struggle between change and faith in the human age!

It's really one wave after another, continuous.

Unless you actively withdraw from this vortex, the pain will never stop.

However, this kind of thing... Zhang Ming really didn't know how to reply.

Because in his opinion, especially after seeing the wonders of the world built by the blue crystal people, he deeply felt that the rise of civilization required a price.

Even after paying the price, it may not be useful... This is the saddest thing.

"People on Earth are paying the price for the disunity in the past!" Zhang Ming sighed, but there was nothing he could do. After all, this pile of shit was his hometown.

He took up a pen and wrote: "Hi, old Wang, I really can't answer the question you asked."

"But I can share with you a story of an alien civilization, and analyze some things from my personal point of view. (Some knowledge about the blue crystal civilization)"

"From the perspective of a pragmatist, if the realization of something requires a huge price, but there is only one path, you can only take this path, and then go on firmly."

"Because there must be a road first, and then we can consider whether the road is easy to go, otherwise, the opportunity will only slip away slowly."

"The unification of mankind is indeed a grand goal. And this goal is extremely important. It is related to the well-being of the next hundred or thousand years, and it is related to the question of whether human beings can exist in the Sea of ​​Demon Gods."

"From the grand narrative, from the scale of civilization, sacrificing some people is just a cold number."

"For example, as I described in the letter, the blue crystal people built the pillar of the sky and hunted the demon god."

"Countless civilians died of premature aging and turned into cold last wishes. You say that their life, whether they have no freedom or have been brainwashed, I admit all of this."

"But this race did go on steadily for a grand goal and paid a heavy price. They even failed at the last moment. The long-term plan and the efforts of one billion people have come to naught."

"But I don't criticize and ridicule them. Instead, I think they are a resolute and powerful race."

"Even if there is an accident in the final hunting plan, they will not perish because of it, because in the process of achieving the grand goal, they have obtained some hidden spiritual wealth. The value of this wealth is immeasurable, as long as they Coming out of the shadows, it is difficult to be overwhelmed by external difficulties."

"Of course, there will always be contradictions between the grand narrative and the small things of the individual. How to grasp the balance is the key..."

Lao Zhang paused, really didn't know what to write, the torrent of the times on earth could not affect him, and it was impossible for him to sacrifice himself.

Since I couldn't give any advice, I finally had to write a sentence.

"If you don't want to participate, you can actually stay away from this vortex. No one should be able to force you, right? At worst, go back to the countryside and find an island outside the Pangu Continent."

"Zhang Ming, leave a note."

As for the other letters in the USB flash drive, they are still the same as before: scientific research papers, emails of political leaders, videos of relatives, etc.

Zhang Ming didn't bother to read the paper that was too complicated for a while, because he was going to do a very dangerous and important job, hunting the demon god "Insect of Time and Space".

Whether he can live or not is still a question...

Having been wandering alone for so many years, Zhang Ming has gradually become indifferent to many things, even life and death.

Maybe he can't feel the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of ordinary people at all, or maybe he is already close to madness...
