Barrier of Light

Chapter 144 Alternative Members

"What do you think about those babies...?"

After leaving Huazhi Building.

Gu Shen spoke to the air. His words were meant for Chu Ling.

Although Chu Ling didn't make a sound when she just visited the tenth floor of Huazhi Underground, Gu Shen knew...she was still connected.

"I have to admit that the genetic bill violates the most basic 'human ethics.'" Chu Ling's voice gradually became softer and finally became inaudible: "But if it is for the future of mankind..."

Gu Shen knew what she was going to say.

If it is for the future of mankind, who can criticize the right or wrong of the birth of these babies?

"I have seen a problem before, called the trolley problem." Gu Shen stood on an overpass, leaning on the railing, overlooking the crowds of people coming and going. "An out-of-control trolley cannot be stopped, or it will crush one to death." One person, or crush ten people. What if you mastered the lever?"

"Sacrifice the few to preserve the many."

"But the problem is that many things are not that simple. The tram problem will appear once, ten times, or a hundred times. Put your life on the scale and give up a small part with a lighter weight. After many times... what is left, It’s just a small part.”

Chu Ling was silent for a while, then spoke weakly, "So, the genetic bill has been stopped."

"Yes...so after I walked out of Huazhi Building, I just felt lucky."

Gu Shen smiled softly and murmured: "I would rather these children just sleep like this in the nutrition cabin and never have their own consciousness or wake up. If they know the truth, they should feel Heartbroken, right?”

As a guinea pig.

Bearing the responsibility of "saving the world".

But what he is facing is the fate of being put on the scale of being abandoned at any time...

From the moment the bill was passed and they were manufactured as products, mistakes were made.

"The suspension of the bill can be regarded as a step back from the brink." Gu Shen said: "Compared to the gene bill... the awakening bill seems to be more stable. But I always feel that this bill is not as reliable as Cui Zhongcheng said, and there are many problems. .”

"Yes."

Chu Ling said: "Once the Awakening Act is implemented, it will inevitably require the public to connect to the 'deep water area' and rely on the power of the deep sea to stimulate the host to awaken to the extraordinary... and this process has not yet been fully controlled."

"Awakening is uncontrollable, and the number of people who are out of control will increase."

"Order, rules, and the long-established basic cognition... will all be broken. Even if the Awakening Act is passed, the actual implementation of the law will still need to be gradual. If you want the masses to accept it, then this is destined to be a long process." Chu Ling He said slowly: "Don't you think... the Dongzhou Council is too hasty?"

"It's true that you said so." Gu Shen frowned, "What is the attitude of other continents?"

"Although I have certain authority...but currently, the authority can only circulate within Dongzhou." Chu Ling said in a low voice: "The five continents are independent and self-governing. I don't know the situation on other continents, but it can be seen from some intercepted information. The East Continent Parliament is the first continent to consider the implementation of the 'Awakening Act'. On this matter, the progress of other continents must be slower. Perhaps they are also waiting for the response of East Continent after the implementation of the bill. In the era of information explosion, East Continent has To implement the bill in Asia is tantamount to exposing the secret of extraordinary disorder to the world."

In other words, the main battlefield of the Awakening Act is in Dongzhou.

No... To be precise, the main battlefield is in Dadu, right in front of me.

Nagano Castle's attitude has been made clear.

"In three days, the nomination of Dongzhou alternative members will begin." Gu Shen said to himself: "According to Zhao Xilai's intention, he nominated Lu Nanzhi, and then two to one, the Awakening Bill was won... About the bill The battle is over."

But will the matter of the law be so simple?

"What did you say?"

Zhao Qi was sitting on the hospital bed, staring at Liu Yi in disbelief. He was holding the sheets in his hands, his expression turned pale and bloodless due to anger, shock, and fear.

In the past few days of recuperation, due to the healing seal, his injuries have improved a lot, the swelling on his face has subsided, and he has just completed the surgery to fill his teeth. It seems that there is no serious problem, but his complexion is slightly worse.

"The content of the old man's will has not been released yet... but he just said that he will fully support Lu Nanzhi at the meeting of alternative members in three days." Liu Yi stood in front of the bed, standing quietly, "Most of the seats have been vacant for a long time. Three congressmen should be born. If nothing else happens, it will be Madam."

This is a good thing.

But there was no joy at all on Zhao Qi's face.

Zhao Qi was in a daze, and it took him a long time to recover... No one knew the meaning of the old man's words better than him. He was not young enough, and there was nothing better to cultivate future generations than to personally push him to the position of a member of parliament. Show determination and intention?

"No……"

Zhao Qi murmured: "In the past ten years, most of them have only had two members. This situation has been maintained for a long time. There is no need to elect a third member. He is planning to leave his inheritance to that woman."

"..." Liu Yi did not express any opinion on this.

"A battle broke out at the Jiangtan Dam before. Crow Song Ci and the four adopted sons of Chengxinhui Nantang Chen San made a fight. The fight went to the end and alarmed the two congressmen." She thought for a while and said: "After that night, the old man said that he would support Lu Nanzhi... I think this matter is not that simple."

Zhao Qi was in a daze, wondering if he heard it.

"I heard that Zhou Jiren, the chief adjudicator of the adjudication office, also came forward." Liu Yi whispered: "Not long ago, he was involved in the impeachment storm. I'm afraid his appearance this time is not a coincidence... There must be something. What a big move. Rumors also say that in the battle at Jiangtan, Chen San’s four adopted sons were injured, while his biological son Chen Mei was personally arrested by the Grand Adjudicator.”

On the surface, the two MPs from Dadu are "evenly matched."

But in fact, everyone knows that maintaining balance is a commonly used method of the Parliament.

Chen San is indeed a great person who can make most of Nanwan's business prosperous, but it is a pity... In terms of faction and power status, he is still much younger and cannot be compared with Congressman Zhao.

"It's for the bill..."

Zhao Qi finally woke up from his decadence. He covered his cheek with one hand, and laughter oozed out from between his fingers. "Father is building momentum for the bill... He used the Jiangtan incident to suppress Chen San, and soon he will be ready." The nomination of elected members. The arrest of Chen San’s parents and his son by the Grand Adjudicator of the adjudication office and his long-term stay in Dadu can be regarded as a clear indication that the next nomination of Chen San’s faction will definitely fail.”

"The candidate member...will only be Lu Nanzhi."

And the alternative members are decided.

Is there any suspense about the official election?
