Chapter 1800: Chapter 1793: Choice
As the conversation reached this point, someone at the scene began to get restless. Her words were pleasant, but to their ears, it was simply a demand for them to be her dogs!
Who would agree to this? Anyone present who’d come this far surely had some pride, right?
Of course, there are always exceptions.
Even if everyone had to do it, what qualifies this woman to ask such of them? Just because of her god-like foresight?
To be honest, after confirming the Nightmare Zombie King was indeed dead, they were shocked. At that moment, countless thoughts flashed through their minds. But since things hadn’t become too dire just yet, some still held onto a sliver of hope, unwilling to prematurely enter the tense period that would inevitably come. So, someone quickly tried to say something, but before any words came out, Su Sigui opened her mouth and cut them off.
"I know many of you are thinking that I am arrogant, that I have no right, but it doesn’t matter what you think. Anyway, what I said before was just an appetizer. Next, please get ready."
A radiant smile blossomed on Su Sigui’s face, madness slowly creeping into her expression! The crowd sensed something amiss. The group of six led by Ji Jinchan seemed to be seeking some reassurance, looking at Su Sigui with smiles, yet when their gazes crossed, they found no change in her expression! Their smiles turned awkward, and their hearts skipped a beat.
Before the crowd could say anything, Su Sigui spoke again, her voice much more passionate than before, and her words made everyone’s face change drastically!
"You all know, right? The apocalypse is not just made up of zombies. There’s also the presence that disrupts equality! Just because they think themselves superior, they can arbitrarily take others’ lives! And because of this ridiculous superiority, resources are distributed unequally. Have you ever seen people starve to death by the roadside?"
"I believe none of you have seen it; even if you did, you wouldn’t feel anything. So tell me, when zombies are gone, will scenes like that still appear?"
"I’ll tell you—they will! Even if all zombies disappeared from Earth, those scenes would still appear! We need laws, laws with the greatest presence! Ones that can restrain anyone! Not laws that can be overridden! Do you understand?"
"If we only clear out zombies, the apocalypse will just turn into chaos. What I want is a society where everyone is equal, without zombies and without superior new humans!"
The atmosphere in the meeting room grew increasingly tense with Su Sigui’s words. Many faces turned grim, yet she seemed unaware, continuing on her own accord:
"Let me be clear, after confirming the ’Spirit Rain Plan’ is feasible, I’m not only out to clear all zombies but also everyone present here! Every evolved creature and new human on Earth!"
"Including myself, of course! Only when we become a heap of inorganic matter with the zombies, will this apocalypse truly end."
"Alright, I’ve said my piece. Now, you have two choices in front of you: first, end the apocalypse with me!"
"Second! Refuse me! As for the consequences, it’s simple—either you kill me, or I kill you!"
The crowd exchanged glances, doubting if Su Sigui was truly Su Sigui. They didn’t respond immediately, all contemplating. Without considering whether Su Sigui had the strength to give them those two choices, any sensible person would choose the latter. Nobody was noble enough; if it was solely about saving humanity, most would agree, as they are part of humanity’s collective fate!
But when life was the cost, hesitation was inevitable!
Su Sigui’s gaze swept around. After her words fell silent, the elderly Ye Changgong raised his hand with a smile, seemingly unaffected by what Su Sigui had said. Then Xu Tianyu sitting further back followed suit, and next was Qiuyue, Yao Gong, Yan Xing, Guan Zuohua, and other powerhouses from the City of Bright Moon who had long stood by Su Sigui slowly raised their hands, choosing to side with her.
In the entire meeting room, with one hundred and six people, Su Sigui’s ideas were too outlandish. Only a handful of eleven raised their hands to express their stance, including a few surprising individuals like Nangong Mingwen, Chi Biyi, Wanhe Third District’s external Level 8 powerhouses Edinson and Serlino.
Perhaps they had long harbored similar thoughts to Su Sigui but lacked the power to express them. Seeing Su Sigui take this route was unexpected, yet it might have helped them realize what they needed to do at a critical moment.
Besides them, the last person was the sole survivor from the Dragon Group’s Four Gentlemen, Yan Ling!
Nobody knew his name, only his code name. He may have long forgotten his real name. Through time, the code name may have become his name. Perhaps due to past events, he rarely spoke, and his face usually showed no expression. Yet today, a rare smile appeared on his face, carrying a hint of madness and some mockery.
Apart from these eleven, everyone else, whether enemies or comrades who had fought alongside, including the six-member group, remained silent. Their silence indicated their decision to stand against Su Sigui!
This scene made Su Sigui laugh, a laugh tinged with grief. The brilliance in her eyes dimmed considerably.
She despised betrayal too, but she bore no hatred towards anyone because this betrayal was her choice; she had anticipated it. It was just upon witnessing it, her heart ached uncontrollably, as if her once immensely strong heart had grown fragile, yet it swiftly became more resilient!
She truly didn’t hate anyone; she just felt a deep pity that she would have to redo what Ning Tianlang once accomplished! It wasn’t for herself but for the continuation of humanity today! She wanted to hold on, yet the severe situation already made her realize she didn’t have much time!
Experiencing the anguish and helplessness firsthand, she began understanding that solitary, proud man more.
The smile gradually faded from her face, and her gaze grew icy, her words from her mouth turning colder and devoid of any emotion, as if a deity pronouncing divine judgment, chilling to the bone!
"Everyone, after this, there will be no more opportunities, so now, take action."
