Chapter 56: The Third Way
Chapter 56 The Third Road
"What did you say? You say it again?"
"Well, I'll say it again. The people in the shelter need to stand up and take responsibility for the riots two weeks ago."
Su Jing and Yamata almost faced each other, and they were facing each other in a tit-for-tat way, without giving in. Adam stood alone, his expression was helpless. This helplessness was a bit like a relief to see through the world, but it was a bit strange to appear on his face.
"What does responsibility mean?"
Su Jing held his hands and looked down at Yamata. He was one and a half head taller than the girl.
"That is, some people are responsible for the injured and dead residents in that matter, otherwise I will not be able to suppress public opinion. Adam...he will not be able to go back to the 101 refuge again. Now the people here are already very dissatisfied with his appearance. According to the idea of a superior, I should arrest him and then judge..."
Yamata's expression was a little hesitant, but her voice was very firm.
This is the third hour after Yamata took office as supervisor.
Perhaps because of the supervising over the years, the shelter was soon reached, and everyone had no big opinions on Yamata's rise. Compared to her father, she was younger and better speaking. The most important thing is that with her succession, the riot that divided the shelter residents into two classes could finally be calmed down. The first order after the new supervisor took office was to open the door to the shelter.
"Although the outside world may be in danger, we cannot imprison a person's freedom. Everyone has the right to choose their own life, and we have no right to interfere."
More words have been said too many times in the past two weeks. Yamata calmly directed the residents of the shelter to restore their original lives, cleaned the walls with slogans and paints everywhere, cleaned, renovated and cleaned the water purification system... These tasks cannot be completed in one or two days. However, Yamata has become a supervisor after all. After grouping the residents and assigned them to work in different areas, she returned to the office alone and had a good talk with Su Jing and Adam.
Then there is the conversation at the beginning of this chapter.
"In other words, you are going to drive out someone who just saved you?" Su Jing's eyes were filled with chills, "I really didn't see that, you..."
Su Jing stopped halfway through his words, because his telepathy touched a trace of the girl's feelings, and it was as if he had dug out his heart with his own hands. The strong sadness and despair made Su Jing's face, who was in common with her perception, turn blue. The backlash of telepathy made him feel his heart twitching in empathy, and he could no longer say the sarcastic words behind him.
"Yamata, if I leave, you will..." Adam walked forward and tried to hold Yamata's hand, but the latter gently avoided his movements.
"I'm sorry...but this is the responsibility my father gave me, and I can't escape..."
Adam turned around and punched the wall with a heavy punch. His shoulders shook violently, and then he took a few long breaths before exhaling. When he turned around, his face was already calm.
"Then... I wish you happiness, Yamata."
The girl lowered her face and stopped looking at him.
Damn, Su Jing felt like a light bulb, and it was so embarrassing to stand here. When the telepathy was released, he felt extremely heartbroken. The entire conference room was filled with the sad and desperate feelings between the two of them.
"By the way, I want to use the supervisor's computer to investigate the information about my father..." Adam broke the disturbing silence and pointed at the supervisor's desk.
"Please..."
The girl's expressionless face might be more like she retreated out of nowhere.
Adam stood quietly for a while, sighed and sat in the supervisor's position, started to turn on the computer, and recalled the information files to download it to his portable computer.
"...Mr. Su, do you think this is the price of... wanting to be a hero?" Adam said while knocking on the computer, "Always alone, and never walk with him?"
"It depends on how you define the word 'hero'." Su Jing shook his head.
"I just wanted to find my dad at first. Of course, I admit that I also wanted to see the outside world... and then I was involved in a series of major events. Megaton Town, Super Mutants, Brotherhood of Steel, Rivet City, Water Purification Plan... I didn't like to be the kind of person who was attracted by people, but fate seemed to be pushing me forward step by step, and I could only look up and face it... Then, even Yamata left me..."
Adam pursed his lips and continued to thrust his hands on the keyboard.
"It seems that my father should really be in Sanctuary No. 112. Here is a list. The person in charge of Sanctuary No. 112: Dr. Brownie... My father seemed to mention him before. At that time, she seemed to be talking about something called GECK, and the full name of that thing was..."
"Garden_of_Eden_Creation_Kit, the Creator of the Garden of Eden." Su Jing said, "One of the highest essences of pre-war civil technology, eliminating radiation, purifying water sources and land... the most core device for rebuilding the civilized world."
"Well, yes, it's this thing. My father spent his whole life looking for this Eden Creator in order to complete the water purification plan. And he told me that this man named Dr. Brownie probably knew where the Creator was." Adam opened a flip on the beep boy on his left arm, then pulled out a wire from it and connected it to the supervising computer.
"Do you still remember what I told you? The third road must exist. You will definitely find the third road between you leaving or becoming an enemy of the refuge. Don't we all like to use our own strength to change the world?" Su Jing smiled.
"The third way? Is there really a third way?" Adam raised his head, and the beeping boy on his left arm flashed, and the information was being transmitted.
"Of course it exists. This is not a game, making a choice between logic circuits... Here is the real world, there are countless ways to choose... Adam, wait here for a while. I will be able to solve this problem soon."
Su Jing turned around and walked out. Looking at his back, Adam suddenly felt something was wrong.

Yamata wiped her red and swollen eyes with a handkerchief, and then she pounced on her face with water in the sink, trying her best to keep her expression normal. Then she found that there was a figure behind her in the mirror.
"Mr. Su, this is the women's restroom..."
Halfway through his words, a knife slashed her on the neck, causing her to fall into a coma. Su Jing quickly picked her up and left the bathroom.
When he was in the supervision office, he had carefully observed the flow of the radio and various control systems. Then he spent a few minutes to lock the door system of the shelter - this kind of electronic control system is very simple, and no one had touched it before. He set a twelve-digit opening password at will. People here can't calculate what his password is for eight lifetimes.
Then, he followed the beautiful girlish fragrance on Yamata to the toilet, then fainted, then pulled out the Magnan pistol from his waist, shot all the way to the ceiling, and drove all the refuge residents he encountered to the cafeteria next to the bar. Several security guards rushed up to try to capture him, but he punched him all to the ground.
"Are all the people here? There are a few missing ones, and that doesn't matter. Let's just say that. I'm here to rob. Does anyone know about Lost Paradise and Changchun Village? Well... I don't know any of your eyes. Simply put, it's a gathering den for slave traders and robbers, and I am the master of these two forces, the king of evil forces in the wilderness... What kind of eyes do you have, what do you look at, don't you believe it?"
Su Jing raised his hand and shot two times in the ceiling.
"Now, I want you to bring out all the food and drinking water, and I want one too, it looks quite fashionable when I put it in my hands..."
The residents of these refuges were silent one by one, and they didn't even move for a long time. The sound of footsteps sounded, and Adam rushed out from a corner, looking at the scene in front of him, and he was stunned for a while.
"Mr. Su...what's going on?"
Su Jing shrugged his shoulders and laughed wildly, "It's very simple. Speaking of which, I forgot to tell you that during the two days we were separated, I found several new jobs, first as a slave trader, and then later as a robber... It's great that my promotion was very smooth, and I went to the position of the leader, so I am now the highest leader of the evil forces in the abolition city... It's very interesting. Now I just do some job, snatch all the place, and then kidnap everyone as a slave - don't worry, your little girlfriend has prepared for you, look, just lying here."
"That's what you said - the third way?!" Adam covered his forehead and moaned, "You've ruined everything... Stop kidding, Mr. Su..."
"What's wrong? When you can't think of a solution with your brain, just use your fists to make others obey your ideas." Su Jing threw the pistol in his hand to Adam and sneered, "You don't like to force others to do things. Just like, I like it very much. The two of us have very complementary personalities, good partners. How about it, listen to me, can't things be solved successfully? This little girl will be with you forever in the future. If you don't like her, she may have some hatred towards you when she wakes up. I have a company training master, so I will give you a compliant childhood sweetheart for a week... Well, there may be some small sequelae at that time, such as decreased intelligence, frequent drooling, etc. But don't you think that is also a cute thing?"
"First of all, I won't allow anyone to hurt Yamata... Second, what should the rest of the people here do? They are all relatives who have watched me grow up! This refuge is my hometown, and I don't want it to be destroyed by you like this!"
Su Jing tilted his head and thought for a while, spread his hands.
"But what if I want to destroy it?"
Under the gaze of a group of refugee residents, the black-haired young man stood up from his chair and pointed at the people who had never taken a step out of the refuge in his lifetime, whispering:
"What if I want to do this? These idiots with narrow vision and never drank radiation water in their entire lives, you have done nothing wrong, but wishfully imposed the responsibility of their sins on you - this is unfair, and what I hate the most is unfairness. I have the power to destroy here, and I can do it too. Now, the door of the shelter has been locked by me, and as long as I destroy the underground water purification chips, everyone here will not live for a month - I am looking forward to such a scene. In fact, watching these people die slowly in despair is simply a fun life experience!"
Su Jing opened his hands and smiled mockingly:
"Come and stop me. You know how to do it. My friend."
Adam slowly raised the large-caliber Magnum pistol in his hand.
"Let's shoot, Adam. Those who want to be a hero are destined to make a choice in many dilemmas. Sometimes, you have to sacrifice something that you don't want to sacrifice to fulfill other things that may be more important... This is the fate of a hero, and you can't escape it. Today's choice is just a microcosm of the fate you are about to face. One day, you will face a more difficult choice, just treat today as a...a little practice."
Su Jing smiled evilly.
The Magnan pistol in Adam's hand was as heavy as a tremendous amount. He stared at Su Jing for a long time, and then said word by word:
"Su Jing... don't you remember? We all believe in one thing, that is, in a dilemma, we will definitely find the third way, the third way to save everyone!!"
Gunshots rang out.
