Chapter 972: Principles (Second Update, Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket!!! I Will Continue Tomorrow!)
[Recite the URL three times silently. Do you remember it? If not, I will ask you again in the next chapter. It would be best if you share it on Facebook for me]
But fortunately, the eyes of the entire Los Angeles are now on the earthquake. For the time being, the police do not need to worry too much about this matter.
But another thing is urgent.
Joker!
"They all took excessive amounts of banned drugs, and I also separated many stimulants and other substances from their blood. Obviously, when they took drugs, they mixed them together..."
Harrison Wells told Barry the results of his tricks with a weird look on his face.
"Someone... mixed drugs?" Barry was shocked. Even the worst drug addicts know what the consequences of taking multiple drugs together are. They are just taking drugs, not looking for death. Taking multiple drugs together may not only cause a significant increase in drug resistance (which means that drug addiction will become more serious and require larger doses of drugs to satisfy), but also more likely to cause poisoning!
"That's right, but I also found some very strange substances in it... Those things shouldn't appear in drugs at all."
"What are they?"
"Industrial waste... heavy metals, chemical reagents and the like." Harrison said.
"Huh?" Barry didn't know what to say. Where did this drug dealer come from? He bought drugs and sold them at the same time?
"So I said these things shouldn't appear in drugs at all." Harrison spread his hands. He was also puzzled. "By the way, you can tell your director that the hospital doesn't need to treat those guys who overdosed.
"Why?"
"After you heard those things, what do you think will happen to people who drink them?" Harrison asked back.
"Uh... Could it be..." Those things are all highly toxic, many of which have irreversible damage to the body, and there are even many substances that can affect the brain nerves. In addition, after they take drugs and get high, Barry will not be surprised at what consequences they can cause.
"That's right! Even if those people are saved, they will only become idiots and lunatics. This is still good. Many people will probably have to lie in bed for the rest of their lives. "Harrison is not very old, only fifty years old, and he has experienced the hippie era. He even tried those things himself. If he hadn't met his lifelong lover who helped him get rid of those things, he couldn't imagine what he would be like today. But even though he has seen the world, Harrison still admires those thugs who dare to put anything in their mouths... Are they idiots?
So damn reckless.
Now oh no.
Those who react strongly are basically not worth saving. Harrison got a few CT scans of their brains, which were full of holes, just like patients with mad cow disease. As for the specific principle that caused this condition, it requires dissection.
This may be the only use of these people.
"This..." Barry was a little at a loss. He certainly thought that what Harrison said made sense, but if he didn't save him...
He was indeed from Los Angeles, and he had received higher education.
Barry has been brainwashed by white left ideas.
"Kid... You have to adapt. You can't save everyone. And not everyone is worth saving. "Just at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared behind Barry. It was Batman!
"Batman! Are you okay?" Barry had heard that Batman was in a bad state in order to stop the tsunami, and was sent to the Star Lab by Tony.
Barry wanted to meet this idol. Barry highly respected Batman's principles.
"Well, I've recovered." Batman said coldly. It was not intimate, but Barry didn't care. In his opinion, his idol should be so cold. If he wasn't so talkative and couldn't control himself, he would want to learn from Batman.
"Wait, you just said... give up on them?"
"That's right! Is there a problem? "
Barry suddenly felt his worldview shaken. Didn't Batman stick to the principle of not killing? Many superheroes today stick to this principle, such as Luke, Matt, Hellcat, etc. Among many superhero fans, Batman is the first to do so. Other superhero fans didn't have much to refute, after all, it was Batman who did this first, and then other superheroes also adhered to this principle.
"But..." Barry thought Batman was the same as him.
It's a pity...
"They are scum, there is no changing that!" Batman's cold voice sounded again: "I will only save innocent people, and everything I do is for innocent people. As for other people... why should I care?"
"But..." Barry felt like a repeater.
"But? But what?"
"You have always insisted on the principle of not killing!"
"Yes, but is there a conflict between what we are talking about?"
"They are also human beings."
"I admit it." Batman still kept his tone unchanged.
"They also have the right to live! "Barry said in a resounding voice.
"Oh... well, that makes sense. Then... who should die?" Batman listened very carefully. Then he asked that question.
Barry was stunned by Batman's question. Aren't we discussing saving people? Why who should die?
"Who... isn't this... they should all be saved!"
"There are only so many medical resources, not enough! If someone is saved, someone must die." Batman said an extremely cruel fact.
Even with Batman's warning and superhero rescue, the loss in Los Angeles is still very large. There is no way, there are too many people in Los Angeles. There are millions of people in Los Angeles alone, not to mention that it is impossible for Los Angeles to be the only one affected by the disaster. The entire Greater Los Angeles area belongs to the disaster area. For a metropolitan area with a population of more than 10 million, even with a warning, the number of casualties is still an extremely terrifying number. According to the federal government's estimate, the number of casualties will definitely exceed 100,000! The specifics still need to be counted afterwards. Remember that it is casualties, not deaths.
Death is easier to solve.
Although it is a bit exaggerated to say this, it is a fact. The dead do not need doctors. It is impossible to compete with the living for medical resources. Only the living need them when they are injured. In addition to the patients who were already in the hospital, the hospitals in the entire Greater Los Angeles area are now full, and there are even many cases where minor injuries and non-fatal injuries have been delayed. As long as you don't die, just hold on.
There is no way, the doctors are simply too busy.
In addition, the road problems in various parts of the city are serious, resulting in the inability to evenly utilize medical resources. For example, Los Angeles is a severely affected area, and many injured people here cannot get treatment. Orange County, because most of the county is suburban, there is no strict urban center. So there are not so many injured people, so their medical resources are sufficient.
But the problem is that those injured people can't be sent out now, and medical resources can't come in.
In short, in one sentence, Los Angeles now can't save everyone!
So who should die?
"But... why?" Barry asked stutteringly, but it was a bit inconsistent. What why?
Batman understood what he was asking.
"I don't kill people, but I warn myself not to fall into violence, not to turn myself into a thug and executioner. It's not what you think. I will treat everyone equally. After all... that is the greatest fairness!"
Indeed, good people and bad people are treated equally... Then who the hell wants to be a good person?
If this is not the greatest injustice, what is?
People often like to talk about equality. But in fact, equality never exists, because people themselves cannot treat others equally!
Your relatives and a bad guy you don't know, can they be the same in your heart?
Unless you are crazy!
