After being universally criticized online, he cultivates immortality and farms to lead his motherlan

Chapter 154 Do you want me to save you? Or not?
The woman's tone rose, carrying a sense of certainty: "The day that kid pressed a gun to my head, I thought to myself, one day I'll get my revenge, I definitely will."

Jian Ning looked at the old woman's expression.

She doesn't have particularly superb acting skills, and behind her unwavering courage, there is indeed a hint of timidity in her eyes.

This is human nature.

Jian Ning continued to speak to the older woman via telepathy: "Half of you are required to enter the safe zone; that's the rule. If there are fewer people, then there are fewer; the other side won't have any extra spots because of that."

Upon hearing this, the woman looked puzzled and said, "Why? The people next door are all young people, about the same age as most of our children. It would be such a pity if they died because of this."

Jian Ning stopped answering; explaining was pointless at this point. She simply said, "Just do as instructed; this is divine guidance."

After some suspense, the older woman immediately listened to the advice and said to everyone, "The Bodhisattva is so fair. He said that half of the people must enter the safe zone. Let's all choose again."

Because once everyone understands the rules and reaches a consensus, suddenly allocating more spots will only unleash the darker side of human nature.

Because this means that the rules are changeable.

In contrast to the concessions made here, the room next door adopted the most basic and fair method.

Except for a few children who were unanimously agreed to enter the safe zone.

Everyone else played rock-paper-scissors to decide the winner. The losers went to the counter-attack group, and the winners played again. Some people were eliminated to make up the spots for the children.

In this way, the people on both sides of the safe zone and the counterattack group are now evenly divided.

If Jian Ning were to release more slots at this point, it would mean that everything they had done before would have to be started all over again.

She won't do that.

Jian Ning set the time for 3:30 a.m. the day after tomorrow.

At this time, almost everyone is fast asleep, which is also the time when they are most vulnerable and panicked.

She had already observed them when she flew over; these people thought they were on an isolated island that no one had explored or noticed, so their defenses were not very strong.

Even the gatekeepers would lie on the ground and sleep soundly.

As for tomorrow, Jian Ning still needs to do some preparations.

She tried her best to minimize the possibility of casualties.

That evening, after communicating the approximate time and plan with the managers of both rooms, Jian Ning flew back to the deserted island she had been on before.

It was still that familiar patch of ground under the big tree, which she had tidied up.

She took out a tent from her storage ring and started eating bread.

They then released the traitor, untied him, and gave him a piece of bread.

The man held the hard bread, glanced cautiously at Jian Ning, and looked around at the dark forest. Everything didn't seem so pleasant.

Apart from the fact that the stars are very, very bright.

He had been locked up in a dark and sunless place for so long that he could hardly feel the passage of time. When he was suddenly released, he was still a little unaccustomed to it and even stuttered when he spoke.

"Where...where am I? What do you want?"

Jian Ning glanced at him, took a bite of bread, chewed it, and said, "Eat your fill."

The man instinctively shrank back, almost as a subconscious reaction. The subtext of her words was that she was going to send him on his way!

"No, don't kill me!"

The man knelt on the ground, curled up in a ball, and begged.

Jian Ning glanced at him. The man crawled towards Jian Ning on his knees, tearfully confessing, "I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. I shouldn't have betrayed District N09 for money, and I shouldn't have followed you, I..."

With the last word, he clenched his teeth and suddenly drew the sharp dagger hidden at his waist, aiming it at the carotid artery in Jian Ning's fair neck!

At the same time, the words of repentance in his mouth suddenly turned into a devilish whisper: "I want you dead!"

The knife tip was still two fist widths away from Jian Ning, but his hand seemed to be out of control; no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move it.

"You, what did you do to me?"

Jian Ning, without even glancing at him, chewed her bread to fill her stomach and casually uttered, "I did think of giving you a chance, but this time, you didn't cherish it."

She tied the man up again with rope and threw him into the Qiankun Ring.

Even if you spare a person's life, who knows when they might suddenly reappear and bite you back? So there's no need for her to be soft-hearted.

the next day.

Jane received a complete and detailed map from Rose, drawn based on the photos she had taken.

Rose asked, "How's the mission progressing? Have you found Professor Wenxing yet?"

Jian Ning replied, "Found it."

Rose: "When are you returning? I'll arrange for someone to pick you up on Zhangdao Island, in case Professor Wen has any further accidents."

Jian Ning replied, "The day after tomorrow."

Rose: "Okay, please report any situation to us so we can help you."

Since Rose has said so, Jian Ning will not hide it from her anymore.

"I do need your help; I need to rescue everyone."

Rose: "Are you crazy? How could you possibly save so many people? If anything happens to Professor Wen, it would be an unbearable burden for N09 District and the entire country of China."

Jane asked, "Rose, if your loved ones were on that missing flight, would you want me to save them, or not?"

Rose fell silent. She used to reply to messages instantly, but it took her several seconds to reply.

The input state switched several times.

Jian Ning understood Rose's thoughts. From a broader perspective, everyone was willing to be abandoned for the sake of Professor Wenxing.

Jian Ning is no longer a child with a black-and-white worldview; she understands that the two stand on different sides and therefore consider different things.

Her compassion may have stemmed from the little girl, or perhaps it was because Jian Ning had never experienced the taste of maternal love, yet she saw it in other families.

She felt that this rare emotion in her life should be allowed to exist in this world.

She wanted to cherish it.

Jian Ning proactively replied to Rose: "I'm sorry, that question was too abrupt. I just felt that losing any loved one is an unbearable burden for a family. We all have to face the question of life and death in our lives, but if we had a choice, who wouldn't want their beloved family members to live to a ripe old age?"

Rose: "Jane, I understand you, but Professor Wenxing's significance to District N09 is truly extraordinary. If something goes wrong because of your decision, you can't bear the responsibility."

Jian Ning was clearly the savior, but if she failed to save the person, she would have to bear the corresponding consequences.

Rose was worried, Jane understood.

She replied, "Don't worry, Professor Wenxing will be fine."

She put the pigeon back in her pocket, remembering what the old lady had said—"The Bodhisattva is so fair, saying that half of the people must enter the safe zone, so everyone can choose again."
