Chapter 586 The Undecomposed Corpse
It was a difficult choice before Ye Zhou. Even if he knew that this was just a simulation, he couldn't choose the so-called "maximizing benefits" option without any worries, because he didn't know whether such a choice would bring more benefits. the result he expected.
Ye Zhou has also seen the classic trolley problem. At that time, he was firmly in favor of staying out of the way and letting the train kill those unruly children. The cost is far greater than the few lives I see right now.
But the question is, what if the benefits of flipping the track outweigh the cost of rule breaking?The rules, are they still rules?
From the perspective of absolute rationality, all the rules of human society have a common original purpose at the beginning of formulation, which is to enable the human group to survive better. All ethics, morality, and laws are built on this basis.
Then, when a choice conforms to the original purpose but does not conform to the current rules, is it a problem of choice or a problem of the rules themselves?
At this moment, the last 20% of the progress bar for sending data to the outside world is left. Within 2 minutes, he can upload all the data, and the time he left for him to choose is only this short 2 minutes.
But he didn't do anything, just watched the progress bar go to the end.
And when the number 100% appeared, his vision also dimmed.

Ye Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. Without hesitation, he clicked directly into the ending replay interface. After a short period of darkness, he appeared in a dirty and dilapidated street.
And in front of him was Huo Bo who had been kicked out by ASPEN.
At this time, he was already very weak, and the festering that had gradually improved was covered with his skin again. Even though he was mentally prepared, Ye Zhou still almost didn't recognize the figure curled up in the corner of the wall.
Sewage seeped down his trousers, giving off a foul smell. If Ye Zhou saw him in the experiment hall as a homeless man, then Huo Bo is just like a corpse now.
A corpse that has been mostly decomposed, but has not been buried in the soil.
For 5 full minutes, Huo Bo, who was lying on the ground, did not move a single step until a man dressed as a chef stepped out of the door and kicked him hard. Looking at the alley, it seems that I don't know where to go.
Amidst the chef's curses, he finally moved. Ye Zhou followed his footsteps and walked forward slowly. Watching him wipe his face with his tattered cuff, fresh blood stains immediately ooze from his festered cheeks. , but he didn't react at all, as if he had completely lost his sense of pain.
From the place where he lay down to the street at the entrance of the alley, he walked for half an hour in a short distance of tens of meters.
Ye Zhou could tell that Huo Bo was close to the limit of exhaustion, and the replay of the ending this time was a replay of the last time of his life.
After walking out of the alley, Huo Bo sat blankly by the street, and passers-by avoided him, but what Ye Zhou didn't expect was that there were still several kind-hearted people who left him some bits and pieces. A banknote adds up to almost 50 rand.
Huo Bo put away the banknotes, Ye Zhou thought he would buy himself a last breakfast, but when he staggered into a remote room, Ye Zhou's surging sympathy suddenly cooled down down.
Because, that is a casino.
Even at the last moment, this man still didn't quit the bad habit that ruined his life.
Hobaugh went to the blackjack table and exchanged his banknote for two chips, and just 21 seconds later, he had five chips.
Blackjack, a must-win in blackjack with odds of 21.
Immediately afterwards, it was stud again, with two kings. Huo Bo had no chips to split the cards, but the gamblers around him seemed to sense an opportunity from the confused breath of death on him, and unexpectedly lent him 5 chips for the first time.
After the split, Huo Bo got a 21 and a 20, and the chips changed from 10 to 20.
After returning 8 chips to the gambler, he is left with 12.
Stud again, Blackjack again.
30 chips.
The luck of Huo Bo's life seemed to be concentrated at this moment, the gamblers around kept booing, and even the croupier had a playful smile on his face.
Were they really applauding Hobbe's luck?
Ye Zhou's heart throbbed, because at a certain moment, he truly empathized with these spectators.
Even he himself is vaguely expecting Huo Bo to win big, not because he can make enough money to live a better life, but because a dying man who sweeps the casino will be a legend. story.
It's no big deal to watch the excitement, it's the same everywhere.
The fourth card, sixteen points, is the smallest card in blackjack. Whether you want it or not, there will be huge risks.
But at this time, Huo Bo still cares about risks?
He tapped on the table and asked for two cards in a row, all of which were two points.
At 20 o'clock, 30 chips became 60, a full 1200 rand.
But he still didn't stop, one after another, each hand was stud, the chips in front of him gradually piled up into a hill, and were replaced by smaller cards, and then the cards also piled up into a mountain, until the card table He finally stopped when the betting limit on the Internet was no longer enough for him to make quick money.
At this time, the value of his chips had reached 40.
Huo Bo took away 40 in cash from the casino. He could not see any emotional fluctuations on his face, only despair and numbness remained there.
After walking out of the door, he turned straight to the corner of the street and threw the money bag out with all his strength in the place where the homeless gathered.
Bills spilled from his backpack, and Hobo fell into the rain of bills.
And the two robbers who had been following him since the casino and tried to rob, looked at each other and joined the robbing team.
His body was trampled by the swarming crowd, the rancid gore slowly drained away, and the blood from the wound became abnormally bright, even morbidly pure.
Just like the epitome of his life.
Huo Bo's mouth kept opening and closing. Ye Zhou leaned over and heard him whisper:
"Save some for the children."
However, except for Ye Zhou, no one cared what he was talking about.
He was already a corpse.
And it was Ye Zhou himself who deprived him of his last chance of survival.
