Chapter 55: Reversal

When Su Jing found Adam, he was hiding alone in the bar of the shelter, with seven or eight beer bottles in front of him. This place turned out to be a neat entertainment venue, but it was messed up by the chaos during the riot. Now there are overturned tables and chairs everywhere, and a light layer of dust fell on the bar, and no one was thinking of tidying up the place.

"Failed?" Su Jing patted his shoulder.

Adam nodded silently.

"It's normal, it's not your fault." Su Jing took out a cup from the cabinet and sat in front of him.

"I...I just want everyone to live in peace." Adam put the wine glass on the table and made a loud bang. "I think the world shouldn't be like this. Why do we need to live in such a big garbage dump? Why is this world so disgusting that I feel... This is hell? If there is really God, then where is God? Why does He watch the nuclear bomb explode on the earth and destroy our civilization? In such a post-war world, we all should unite and rebuild a new human civilization, but why are there always people hindering all this for their own selfish desires or other messy reasons?!"

Su Jing turned his wine glass and looked at the painful young man in front of him. He was kind and upright, and he was really not suitable to be born in this world. His father was an idealist. Under the influence of his eyes, Adam's thoughts were naturally very pure and flawless... and a little unrealistic.

The desire to make the world better is naturally good, and this is the power of goodness. Unity, courage, integrity... It is precisely because of these qualities that mankind can build one kingdom after another and let the flower of civilization bloom on the earth.

"But, Adam, I will teach you a little knowledge. I have seen all kinds of messy things over the years, and there is one common feature. In the world, bad people are not scary. The most terrible thing is good people who do bad things. They think that what they do is correct and beneficial to human beings... It is true from some perspectives. Because apart from the distinction between positions, it is really difficult to distinguish what good and evil is in this world."

Su Jing took a sip of beer, frowned slightly, and put down the wine glass.

"In this world, self-cultivation, family, country and country, and peace of the world - this is a proverb in our hometown. It talks about what a man should do in his life. Governing the country, pacifying the world... Everyone wants to govern the country and pacifying the world, but everyone has their own ideas. How to govern this country? How to pacify the world? Who is the right one? Without practice, no one can figure it out, and no one knows whether his ideas are correct. It's just that people believe in their own judgment, and then what doesn't conform to their logical judgment is wrong. Then there is internal struggle, and then the strongest person appears and uses his own strength to promote his ideas. So, Adam, you understand what I mean. The idea is very good, but if you don't have this power, you can't do anything."

Adam put down his glass and said loudly:

"But I don't want to use violence to force others, kill supervision with one shot, and then I will command the shelter myself... I have thought about it too! I am not a saint, I also have my own desires, but I don't like this... I really don't like using violent means to achieve my goal. I think there must be a third way, and between supporting supervision and supporting Yamata, there must be a third way that can have the best of both worlds!"

"That's right. But you misunderstood what I mean. Strength refers not only to violence, but also to knowledge, wisdom, eloquence, charm technology and other things that can play a role." Su Jing poured himself impatiently, "I also believe that you can find the third way, but that comes at a price. A fool can also think that any party can complete this task at will... I mean to help you solve this incident. However, if you want to take the third way, it must be more difficult than these two ways, so you need your technology."

"…………………… Water purification chip." Adam held the wine glass and pondered for a moment. "As long as the water purification chip under the refuge is destroyed, the supervisor will have to open the refuge. Because we have lost the ability to purify water, if we do not communicate with the outside world, we will only be trapped here."

"Look, haven't you found the way?" Su Jing moved the cup aside, "I'll smash the water purifier below..."

Adam grabbed him and pressed him back to his seat, angrily saying, "What's the difference between this and violently forcing them? This is just a roundabout threat!! And do you know what water purification technology means in wasteland? A complete and usable water purification chip is enough to trigger a small war!! As a scientific worker, how can you bear to destroy the remaining pre-war technology crystals?"

"Okay, okay... forget it if you don't want to, let's continue thinking." Su Jing raised his hand and said surrender, "I'm not a specialist in this area. If you want to talk about genes and biology, I still have half a bottle of vinegar. For example, water purification technology, I can only hahahahahaha..."

"Wait...what did you say?" Adam suddenly raised his head and stared at Su Jing.

"I said...hahahahaha?"

"No! Let's go back!"

"I'm not specializing in water purification technology. If you want to talk about genes and biology, I'll still..."

"That's it!!"

Adam jumped up suddenly, muttering words in his mouth, his fingers kept dancing in the air, as if there were some formulas written continuously on a non-existent blackboard.

“According to genetic genetics…the minimum population of a population…what is the formula…”

After two minutes of standing stiff, Adam suddenly ran out of the door. He ran all the way, and several security guards broke open on the road. When he arrived at the supervision office, he didn't even knock on the door, and opened the door and broke in.

In the office, the supervisor seemed to be lying on a chair and he raised his eyelids in displeasedly.

"What are you doing again?! Don't think I don't want to kill you! I just don't want my daughter to be sad for you, but if you continue to interfere with the internal affairs of the shelter like this, I-"

"Mr. Supervisor!! There is a flaw in your shelter fire plan! You can't succeed!!"

After Adam cleaned up his collar, he realized that his current image might not be very suitable for negotiation. He was covered in alcohol, smelled of beer in his mouth, and his face was flushed... Now, to convince the supervisor, the failure rate may be more than 90%.

"Nonsense...I want the security guard to throw you, the drunkard!"

"Wait! The population base in the shelter is no longer enough to maintain the stability of the reproductive genes. If it is closed again, in just three or four generations, the genetic disease will spread to the entire shelter family!!"

Adam said this in one breath, and the supervisor's hand that went to get the internal radio microphone froze.

Supervisor is not an irrational power madman. In fact, he has a close relationship with Adam's father James and is very knowledgeable about science and medicine. So as soon as Adam said this, his brain immediately began to calculate this possibility. The atmosphere in the room solidified for a moment, and Adam remained motionless, and Supervisor's face became increasingly ugly as time passed.

After a while, the supervisor's hand dropped.

"…………You are right. That's right, the genetic capacity in the shelter is already..." The Superintendent sighed sadly and shook his head gently. He now looks even more decay than three minutes ago, as if he was ten years older. "We missed this... Then the whole plan has failed, and it has failed at the beginning... Oh my God, what have we done over the years... I want to be quiet for a while... No, I have to put the Superintendent down first and then hand it over to someone who is more suitable for the name than me..."

The supervisor raised the radio microphone with his dry hands, then coughed twice, put his mouth to the microphone and said:

[All residents of the shelter, here is the supervisor speaking... Due to recent changes, I resigned... The next supervisor is designated as my daughter... Yamata inherits.]

"Dad!! What are you talking about?!"

A few dozen seconds later, the blonde girl pushed open the door and rushed in. The supervisor had already stood up at this time. He walked to Yamata, took off the medal on his chest, and then pinned it on the girl's chest.

"Yamata, you will be the supervisor of 101 refuge in the future. Remember, you are carrying the fate of the entire refuge and can no longer be willful and do it."

The old man led Yamata to the backrest chair behind the luxurious desk, pressing her shoulder to let her sit down.

"This... will be your location in the future."

As everyone was watching silently, the old man sorted out his clothes, took out the spirits and wine glasses from the desk drawer, put them in a paper bag, and then walked out with the paper bag. At the door of the office, Su Jing was standing there with his hands in his arms.

"I borrowed it, I want to be alone and quiet."
