crisis management game.

Chapter 875 The Paradox of Human Nature (asking for monthly votes)

Everyone looked at each other, feeling uneasy.

Gu Ji frowned, looked around, and found that the temperature around him seemed to have indeed become a little cooler.

The most obvious point is that the wind speed is increasing.

To know.

Since the moment a high-pressure cyclone gripped London on December 12, the wind speed in the city has remained below 4 kilometers per hour until today, not even as fast as an ordinary person walking.

And now, judging from the obvious whistling sound heard in my ears, the wind speed has probably exceeded 4 meters per second, close to Bolt's running speed, and is at the level wind standard.

The sudden breeze is caused by several reasons, including terrain effect, pressure difference, and special weather systems.

The former does not apply to plain cities like London at all.

Then it can only be the latter two, such as the passage of a cold front, which greatly increases the pressure gradient and causes a sudden increase in wind speed, or the coupling of gravity waves and ultra-low-altitude rapids, which causes atmospheric instability.

In short, the weather system over London is being changed!!

I did it!!

Gu Ji raised his hand, letting the fresh breeze caress his fingers, with an irrepressible excitement in his heart.

"This wind is a bit strange!"

Compared to him, Hott on the side was a little alert, as if he had a stress reaction from the self-explosion incident that just happened.

Brian also noticed something was wrong. He looked up at the sky with a hint of nervousness in his eyes: "Everyone, be alert and stay in combat mode!"

The result is the next second.

In the sky outside the base, a fighter jet streaked across the air like black lightning, its engine making a low and powerful roar, and the red signal light at the tail of the aircraft flashing continuously in the night sky. It was the EC-130 electronic attack aircraft that the military had prepared for them.

It was probably because the base's communications were destroyed by electromagnetic radiation waves, and the fighter pilots were unable to receive launch instructions for a long time, so they flew to the base to check the situation.

And everyone noticed it only at this time.

The gray haze in the sky had already been torn apart and swept away by the sudden cold wind. The moon and stars that were once hidden in the fog began to gradually break free from the haze and reappear before our eyes.

"Oh my god! The smog seems to be starting to clear!"

"My God, this is incredible. How could the smog that lasted for so many days suddenly clear up?"

Just as everyone was amazed at what was happening before their eyes.

Professor Chris seemed to have noticed something. He glanced at Gu Ji first, then shouted with his eyes shining:

"Quick! Call the Meteorological Bureau! The explosion of this mysterious triangle may have affected the weather system around London!"

As soon as these words came out.

Holt and Brian then recalled that Gu Ji had once suggested that the smog weather in London was closely related to this glowing mysterious triangle!

Since the "electromagnetic battle" just now destroyed all nearby communication lines, Brian could only send people to contact the base.

After a long time.

The soldier came running back with a lot of people, holding a notebook in his hand, reading word by word:

“Colonel, Professor, this is incredible. The data from the Meteorological Bureau shows that the originally stable high-pressure cyclone over London is rapidly weakening. The surrounding pressure gradient has changed dramatically, and the wind speed has increased dramatically in a short period of time.

It's like... there's a powerful force forcibly changing the entire weather system!"

"Incredible!"

Professor Chris exclaimed as he stroked the shadow of the mysterious triangle from a distance, as if it were his own child. "There really is a device that can affect the weather system!"

"God, this is crazy!"

Hott was like a madman, muttering excitedly: "If the weather can be influenced, doesn't it mean that before carrying out any military mission in the future, we can change the weather at the target point in advance and create an environment that is only beneficial to us!"

Brian on the side suppressed his excitement. He knew the importance of this thing very well, so he quickly gave the order and shouted:

"Everyone, immediately move the wreckage of the mysterious object and notify the base troops to increase vigilance to ensure the safety of the transportation process!"

"Yes!"

As soon as the order came out.

The soldiers acted quickly and began to prepare for the moving work in an orderly manner.

Professor Chris gathered with the researchers and continued to discuss the mysteries of the mysterious triangle.

Gu Ji was planning to secretly check the fragments of the [HEMI electromagnetic paralysis bomb] to see if it was easy to be discovered.

Suddenly, a system prompt text appeared in front of me.

[Ultimate goal: Completely resolve the London smog crisis and keep the death toll below 1100 by the end of the crisis. Current death toll: 903. Success!]

[Test side quest objective: Successfully crack the secret of Penny! ]

[Opening the hidden goal: Find the truth about the London fog! ]

Finally finished!

Somehow, when he saw the end of the mission objective prompt, Gu Ji finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It comes down to it.

Even if everything that happened in the level is already history.

But as he watched the death toll continue to soar, he still felt an inexplicable pressure in his heart.

Because every time a number jumps in the task progress, it represents a living life.

In just four days, more than 900 people died.

In a peaceful era for mankind, this would be a disaster of epic proportions...

After sighing.

Gu Ji looked at the hidden target in front of him again and raised his eyebrows slightly.

He didn't understand why the system suddenly set such a task.

Logically speaking.

Now that it has been confirmed that the London smog incident is related to the mysterious glowing triangle, why bother to find out the truth?

The system would definitely not set up such a simple idiotic task.

Then there is only one conclusion:

There may be another hidden story behind this smog incident!

Gu Ji stroked his chin and thought for a moment through the heavy protective clothing.

It seems that if we want to uncover the truth, we still have to start from the side quest, that is, the clue of Penny.

Return to the Military Secret Area Research Institute.

All the wreckage has been safely transferred by the soldiers to the special laboratory for mysterious objects on the rooftop, and Professor Chris can't wait to start research overnight.

At this time, one of his men ran to Hott and whispered something.

Gu Ji relied on his hearing to enhance the imprint.

I could faintly hear the soldier saying something like "not found".

"Got it. Keep looking and expand the scope!"

There was a flash of anger in Hott's eyes. He drove his men away with a cold voice and even gave Gu Ji a deliberate look.

Facing this unknown target.

Gu Ji immediately realized that it was probably about Bakken's escape.

It seems that this time.

The investigative methods in Hott's hands were not effective in finding Bakken's trace.

Counting from the afternoon of the 6th to today, three days are enough time for this guy to escape from the UK.

Gu Ji didn't know whether he should reveal the clue to this guy.

Although he didn't know where Baken had gone, based on his understanding of the plot development and the characters' personalities, he thought it was very likely that Baken went to find Henk after escaping.

First of all.

When Bakken and Paul escaped, they were with Henk, but only the two of them were caught at the base.

Putting aside the possibility of Henk's backstab, there is only one possibility:

In order to protect Henk, Bakken and the other two chose to show up at the last moment to cover up the fact that Henk was involved.

And now.

If Bakken escapes again, Hott will immediately focus on the employees of Volut. Unless Bakken is stupid, he will definitely not come back to find them.

So, as he was alone in England and didn't know anyone there, his only option was to go to Henk.

In such a big city like London, it is much easier to find two people than one person.

And Henk is a local, and his address, life trajectory, and social relationships are all clues.

What Gu Ji is struggling with now is.

On the one hand, Bakken will definitely re-establish the Volut Group in the future, or even create an extreme organization like THEO to retaliate against the whole world.

So if he helped Hott at this time.

By utilizing the resources of the British military and catching him ahead of time, wouldn't it be possible to directly solve this future threat?

If this step can really be achieved.

Then everything that happens in the future, including the attacks on research institutes in various countries, the July 9th case, the Reid Airport massacre, the poisoning of the Diamond Star cruise ship, my father's plane crash, the turmoil in Brasilia, the Mexican drug war, etc.... should also disappear!

but.

On the other hand, just as his previous attempt to let Buchan and Paul escape from the military's trap failed, even if he told Holt the clues, could he really stop all this?

If it was because of his interference.

If this further causes Bakken to darken prematurely, will everything in the future become even worse?

Gu Ji didn't dare to gamble.

Because he is now too deeply involved in this plot timeline.

His father Gu Jian, his superiors Li Ruilin and Lei Wanshan who were both his teachers and friends, and his friends and partners Gao Bo, Chen Zhiyu, and Wu Kang...

On this road, Gu Ji has lost quite a few people.

He didn't want any problems to happen to these most important people in his life.

of course.

There was another choice before him:

Death rollback!

Do it again!

Now he still has one heart left and a chance to start over.

If Gu Ji chose to start over and went straight to the door of Volut Company and shot Bakken in one shot, then everything in the future might disappear into thin air.

But there are two problems with doing this.

The first is the "trolley problem".

Yes, it is one of the most classic thought experiments in the field of ethics:

The tram lost control and rushed towards the track where five people were tied. By pulling the switch, the tram could be diverted to the spare track where one person was tied.

At this time, the choice must be between "sacrificing one person to save five people" and "not intervening and resulting in the death of five people."

And what Gu Ji is facing now is such a difficult problem.

Should he kill Bakken before he commits a crime and save countless civilians in the future world, or should he choose to do nothing and leave everything to the future?

There is still no unified answer to this difficult question of human nature.

However, as a special police officer who graduated from a police academy, the education he received and the law do not allow him to do so.

Just like the question in the movie "Minority Report", is a crime that has not been committed considered a real crime?

Secondly, as Gu Ji had worried before, can he really change history?

To know.

Strictly speaking, Bakken, who was tortured and escaped by the military, can no longer be considered the original Bakken after receiving some of Chris's professional knowledge and fragmented memories.

So, is there a possibility?

Even if Gu Ji killed Bakken in advance, Paul would still be captured by Hott, and then face torture, memory reading, etc., and a demon would eventually be born.

Unless he puts Paul...

No, only by killing all the people related to Volut Company can we avoid the occurrence of THEO extremist organization in the future.

And this is something that Gu Ji could never do no matter what.

Furthermore.

He was reborn again, and had to face the increased difficulty of the ultimate goal.

Now he has a nearly perfect start to this round.

If you restart the game again, it is still unknown whether you can randomly get a practical identity character like "Sahana", and you also have to face the challenge of reducing the number of deaths in the ultimate mission.

What if it ends up messing up.

If the mission fails, wouldn't that mean we lose both the wife and the army?

Thinking of this, Gu Ji decided to reject this idea for the time being.

Temporary meeting room.

Gu Ji asked Brian to help him find all the file data related to Penny, including the source code, translated coordinates, and all the information before and after the four triangular UFO appearances.

Since he did not discuss the ownership of the "fragments" as promised, the threat level naturally decreased a lot.

And these outdated data, of course, mean nothing in the eyes of the military.

"Coincidentally, the locations where the mysterious spheres were discovered are almost all places with mythological stories, profound history, or bizarre legends..."

Gu Ji compared the ORS satellite coordinates one by one.

I don’t understand whether these civilization legends were born because of the existence of the mysterious sphere, or whether it deliberately guided humans to explore these areas after it split.

And these eight mysterious spheres are so powerful.

And for what reason did it become torn apart?

However, these are not the key points he wants to crack for the time being.

After looking through the data on the four appearances of UFOs, Gu Ji still couldn't find any pattern.

So he could only extend the time.

Since Bakken was able to obtain help from the fragments of the mysterious sphere because of a chance encounter, this UFO must not have appeared out of thin air and would naturally have left traces in the past.

After searching for a long time, Gu Ji finally locked on the "Banbury" incident a few months ago.

Because this is the only incident related to "UFO" and is relatively close to the smoke.

So Gu Ji began to reinvestigate the Banbury incident.

Although Holt was extremely reluctant, he still helped to find all the information due to the pressure from above.

After all, Gu Ji's contribution in this operation to obtain the mysterious object was extremely high, and the mysterious character of the 7472 Unit he created was enough to attract the attention of the military and even Prime Minister Churchill.

Gu Ji read the whole article.

He found that there was nothing special in the content, which was basically the same as what he knew after modern military decryption.

But since we are living in this era.

He took advantage of the situation and said, "Commander Hott, could you please call these people over so I can ask them a few questions?" (End of this chapter)
