Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!-Chapter 1942: Do They Deserve to Live?

Chapter 1942: Chapter 1942: Do They Deserve to Live?
The Cleansing Plan may not be true, but someone in the Eastern District must have proposed such a "once and for all" method. There is no wall in the world that is impervious to the wind.
Moreover, even if no one had actually proposed such an inhumane method, it’s unclear now, given that the last method the People of the Eastern District used to show their dislike for the Western District People was to drive them to this cramped area of the Western District and let them fend for themselves.
People can endure to survive, but if they lose their lives, doesn’t endurance become a joke?
So the Western District People must side with the Resistance Army.
Outer Zone Players are the same kind of props; the Cleansing Plan will never be understood or accepted by any normal civilization. Most players have normal emotions and will unconsciously side with the weak, not to mention they still need to clear levels. If the Western District ceases to exist, what will they use to clear levels?
Outer Zone players don’t only exist in the Western District; they are in the Eastern District too.
The harsh living environment has etched the desire to escape into the blood of most Western District People. On Xu Huo’s way back, he already saw many people leaving with their families, while some in utter despair rushed onto the streets, frantically smashing items or throwing their money away, stripping off their clothes to laugh and cry in the street, and some even committed suicide...and all this is just a rumor about the Cleansing Plan.
This suffocating scene is discomforting, but fortunately, the bus quickly arrived near the rental house. There were particularly many people watching the Shadow Wall by the river today, and from a distance, one could hear people loudly questioning across the river.
But these are all helpless people. Living near the Shadow Wall means they are among those with relatively good conditions, but the reality is that they can’t reach the threshold to enter the Eastern District, and if they leave the Western District to go to other cities, they might become the lowest tier of society.
Xu Huo packed a few ready-made meals from the owner, who had lost interest in doing business, and took them back.
The neighbors in the small building had already heard the news, most of whom were the old and weak, so the vast majority stayed in the building, hoping to glean some internal information from Xu Huo, the Inspector.
The female neighbor was the first to approach, grabbing Xu Huo’s arm and asking, "Is what the newspaper says true? Are the people from the Eastern District really going to kill us all?"
Before Xu Huo could speak, someone with a short temper began cursing the People of the Eastern District. Normally they wouldn’t dare, but at this moment, the resentment in their hearts couldn’t be held back; they wished they could wade across the river and kill a few Eastern District people to vent their anger.
After they had argued enough, Xu Huo said to everyone: "Don’t worry, this news is probably fake. If the Eastern District dares to do this, they will become the target of public criticism. Who would dare associate with the Eastern District then? Even for the sake of their reputation, they wouldn’t go to extremes."
After hearing this, everyone thought it made some sense, but someone raised a question, "But what if, as the terminal says, they poison us, make us sick, and then deny they did it?"
"Do you know how many people there are in the Western District?" Xu Huo said: "Over ten million. How could the Eastern District kill over ten million people without being targeted by others?"
In a technologically advanced district, population numbers are just figures, and initiating ethnic cleansing is not a crazy idea, but something that has actually happened. However, machines can never replace humans, because games need players, and players represent everything. Even in a city like Eye of Platinum, famous for its weapons, it would dare not slack in player development.
The population in the Eastern District is far less than in the Western District, and part of that includes players absorbed from the Western District.
Perhaps the frustrating aspect for the People of the Eastern District is that despite raising their offspring with Evolution Potions from a young age, they may not necessarily become players in the end.
No matter how much they dislike the Western District, the Eastern District is unlikely to cut off its own future.
With his words, everyone started discussing again. Some said the Eastern District still needed them to work, while others questioned how the Eastern District would handle so many bodies if they all died. Some even openly mentioned the Resistance Army, boasting that if the Eastern District really did this, they would definitely join the Resistance Army anyway, since they were going to die regardless, and what if the Resistance Army succeeded?
The residential building was noisy and bustling. Xu Huo returned to his rental room and asked the mute woman to call the child downstairs up for a meal.
When the mute woman went down, she couldn’t find anyone; neither the boy nor his father was around. She returned, somewhat worried, and gestured to Xu Huo about the situation. Xu Huo didn’t say much, just asked her to save some food for the boy.
In the afternoon, he went to the gaming hall again, where the discussion was mostly about the "Cleansing Plan." Some denounced the Eastern District, while others made veiled explanations for the Eastern District, arguing that as long as the people of the Eastern District had any sense, they wouldn’t come up with such a plan. Of course, there were also those who found the chaos amusing, claiming that as people from the Eastern District, they had long wanted to wipe out the filthy and stinky Western District People.
It was still the puzzle from yesterday’s gathering. After solving it, Xu Huo went to a flower shop, where he again saw the woman who had leaked information to him.
In the game, there were many players whose lifestyle and behavior were distinctly different from those of the Western District People. It’s believed that among them were people from the Eastern District. Many had sympathy for the Western District, so at a time like this, rumors about the Eastern District were flying around.
Some said the People of the Eastern District organized a protest march, demanding a reasonable explanation from the government and Agor Corporation, and for the Eastern District to ensure that no harm comes to those poor people of the Western District.
Of course, the People of the Eastern District were having a heated argument themselves. Although there’s a wall dividing the Eastern District and the Western District, it’s not like no one from the Western District enters the Eastern District. Some Western District People are active in games, and while some feel sorry for them, others believe that everyone who is pitiful has some blameworthy aspect, and some used the example of inspectors.
"Logically speaking, inspectors are from the Western District, so they should be good to their own people. But after joining the Supervision Department, they treat the Western District People more harshly than we people from the Eastern District. Not all inspectors are bad people, and just from this point, it can be seen that the vast majority of the Western District People are ungrateful. We built factories in the Western District, provided them with jobs, and even supplied clean water, but what did they do? If you don’t believe it, you should interview the first batch of people who investigated the Western District. They initially proposed to increase the welfare of the Western District, but stopped mentioning it after returning. You can imagine the reason."
"As for resource allocation, there’s nothing wrong with the saying ’the more you work, the more you earn,’ right? After Agor Corporation settled in Yuquan City, it virtually took on the entire basic construction. Our parents also shed blood and sweat during the city’s rapid development. During that time, those Western District People were lazy, unwilling to work, and often disrupted social order by stealing, robbing, kidnapping, and committing all sorts of crimes. Why should the city we created be divided with them?"
"Some people say the Western District People shouldn’t be driven out, but you need to understand what happened before the division of the districts. These people, who preferred to receive aid rather than work, thought the government’s payments were too low, and organized three armed uprisings in a row. In addition to assaulting government officials and Agor Corporation executives, they indiscriminately slaughtered civilians. Do you know how many people died at that time? Nearly a hundred thousand!"
"It was precisely because there were so many deaths that the Municipal Government had no choice but to drive all the Western District People out, or else how could they justify the deaths of so many innocent people?"
"When it came time to sweat and toil, they were unwilling to lend a hand. After Yuquan City developed, they wanted to enjoy the fruits of others’ labor. If they couldn’t get it, they would steal; if they couldn’t steal, they would rob; if they couldn’t rob, they would kill. Do they deserve to live?!"
