'The infected are truly pitiful.'
'I don't care about innocence, I only know whose hands the one I love died by.'
'Hats off to the commenter above, this might be everyone's truest thought.'
'Silent lambs, silent accomplices.'
...
The viewers were enraged, their sympathy stirred by Shatter's plight.
"I, I don't know."
In the game, Misha was left speechless by Shatter's confrontation.
"The Reunion has two leaders, and they have been fighting Ursus for a long time."
Shatter continued after calming himself, "They said there are some Ursus people who are also fighting Ursus for the sake of the infected."
"But they are not in Lungmen. Lungmen watched us die with cold eyes."
"No!"
He emphasized, "Lungmen was happy to see us die!!"
"Chernobog is a city that deserves to be destroyed!"
Shatter was completely consumed by hatred, choosing the most extreme and inhumane way to vent his inner rage.
He had become too radical, losing his humanity.
"I've also met others who helped the infected, they—"
Misha tried to persuade him, if it were them...
A memory of a girl with long, perky rabbit ears appeared.
"Rhodes Island?"
Shatter snorted disdainfully, "They are infected, yet they help Lungmen and hurt us?"
"..."
"Killing our compatriots, harming our brothers?"
"No..." Misha wanted to retort, but Shatter interrupted her mercilessly, "You can't see the reality."
"But you should see it now..."
Realizing his words were too harsh, Shatter calmed himself and said, "I'm sorry, I was too angry."
At this point, Mo Zhi could somewhat understand both sides' positions.
"In the end, it's a clash of two different ideologies, a unification faction and a radical faction."
Mo Zhi voiced his opinion, "Radicalism might not be wrong, but being too radical means you don't treat ordinary people as people. Then what's the difference between these infected and those they accuse of not treating infected as people?"
"Because I've been rained on, does that mean I must tear up umbrellas and unleash acid rain on others?"
"Too extreme."
"I think the initial intention of the Reunion might have been the same as Rhodes Island, but perhaps by being too lenient, they have long deviated from their original purpose."
Mo Zhi looked at the hooded silhouette on the screen, Mephisto's crazy, exaggerated face flashing in his mind, and murmured, "They no longer see themselves as ordinary people. They have become gods above ordinary people."
Thinking about it, the infected are both a hardship and an opportunity.
Becoming infected also means possessing extraordinary power.
Not everyone can maintain their original intentions when faced with such power.
Even if there's a price, like dying soon.
In the eyes of these desperados, immediate gratification seems to be the best strategy.
Instead of thinking about containment and prolonging the lifespan of the infected through treatment, like Rhodes Island.
"Besides, you pitiless bastard, you pity yourself? Did you pity me when you treated me like a pig in the game?"
Mo Zhi suddenly recalled being brutally killed by Shatter in 2-10, and he was filled with indignation!
Hearing this, the audience outside the game burst into laughter.
The debate about the plot and the two factions raged on.
'The infected are willing to believe in false hope.'
'Don't believe the old villain; the more pathetic he makes the villains, the more terrifyingly he blows them up in the game.'
'I can only say Rhodes Island acted in self-defense. The Reunion attacked first, and then they blame Rhodes Island for killing their compatriots.'
'Radicalism isn't always a bad thing, especially during chaotic times.'
'Mutual brainwashing!'
...
In just one live stream, no one could convince the other to reach a unified viewpoint.
Matters of ideology like this are inherently unanswerable, as there are a thousand faces for a thousand people.
"Alright, alright, no more arguing!"
Mo Zhi waved his hand grandly and declared, "I'm here to play games and relax, not to study philosophy and politics. Forget what faction they are; whoever has bigger breasts, that side is justice!"
"Boobs are justice!"
(o゜▽゜)o☆[Bingo!]!
The wish of all LSPs to rule the world is fulfilled!
The view returns to Penguin Logistics.
Texas and Exusiai were not idle either. It was less of a pursuit and more of a trap.
The two of them caused chaos and mayhem, drawing the main force towards Rhodes Island's prepared encirclement.
Rhodes Island had already attacked head-on, yet Misha was still thinking about having Shatter and Rhodes Island talk things out.
This naive sweet girl didn't realize that a blood feud had already been established, making any talk of peace impossible.
As expected, Shatter angrily interrupted her.
In Shatter's eyes, with Rhodes Island having killed so many of his brothers, seeking peace now was a fool's dream.
Rhodes Island was a traitor to the infected!
A devil helping ordinary people slaughter the infected!
From Mo Zhi's perspective, Rhodes Island could never make peace with the Reunion. Big Brother Ace, the reconnaissance team... countless brothers and sisters of Rhodes Island had also sacrificed their lives in this battle.
How could this hatred be easily put aside? Even if it were, and they reconciled with some individuals, the main culprit, Talulah, could never be forgiven.
"You, you must come back."
Seeing that she couldn't persuade her younger brother, Misha earnestly instructed him before being taken away, "It took me so much effort..."
"I will come back for you."
Shatter comforted Misha, "When that time comes, we'll go home together—"
Mo Zhi caught the scent of a death flag.
"Yo."
After Misha left, W emerged from the shadows.
"You still need my help, right?"
"That's right," Shatter replied, "Actually, I think things are a bit different from what Talulah said."
Huh?
This guy, outwardly angry, actually took Misha's words to heart?
But Shatter's next words made Mo Zhi crack – "The enemy is stronger than we imagined."
Damn it!
He's incorrigible!
"So, you must protect Misha."
W watched the boy in black stockings with great interest, "I don't have that obligation, do I?"
"You do."
"Fine, fine," W didn't intend to argue, she laid the groundwork step by step, "But, just protecting Misha isn't enough, is it?"
"If you fail, they will eventually catch up."
"Is there a way?"
W looked at Shatter, "Didn't I tell you?"
"I remember."
Shatter said faintly, "—If we eliminate that target, the battle can be reversed instantly."
"Dr. Mo Zhi#189..."
"That's right, killing the enemy commander is simple, isn't it?"
W continued, "It's that hooded guy next to the rabbit, all of Rhodes Island's combat operations are directed by this guy."
"Kill him,喀!"
"Rhodes Island's brain will be dead."
"I understand."
"Take good care of Misha for me."
...
"Young man, I advise you to watch your mouth."
Mo Zhi rubbed his hands together, "Sneaking up on this 25-year-old old man like me, you'll have a hard time."
The Doctor is the rabbit's inverse scale.
If you touch the rabbit's inverse scale, you die!
