Shadow replied without thinking:
"Principle of proximity."
"Those who are near you migrate directly towards your country."
"We don't have many countries here. I will send letters to each Containment Facility family later to ask them to migrate to our side."
"Only by pooling resources can we respond better."
Zhang Chu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly interrupted:
"Is it possible that this is exactly what the conductor in the fog wants to achieve?"
Hearing Zhang Chu's words, Shadow, Warden and Antie thought of one word at the same time.
"Prisoner's Dilemma."
Lu Xiao blinked and said with a puzzled expression:
"What is the Prisoner's Dilemma?"
This time, Shadow was not in a hurry to answer Lu Xiao's questions.
He spoke to the communicator with an extremely solemn tone:
"Antie, things are in trouble."
"We need to discuss how to deal with it later."
"It would be best if we could all come together. Only then can we work out how to deal with the coming crisis."
"Turn on Round Table Conference."
Antie agreed to the proposal and immediately hung up the phone.
After putting down the communicator, Shadow took a deep breath.
Judging from his expression, he seemed to be trying to calm down his inner emotions.
At this time, Lu Xiao once again asked his doubts:
"Mr. Shadow, what is the prisoner's dilemma?"
Hearing this, Shadow organized some words and said:
"Let me give you an analogy."
"The police arrested two criminals at the same time."
"Then the two prisoners were placed in different rooms for interrogation."
"Because there was not enough evidence to charge, the police told the two men."
"If neither of you pleads guilty, then each will be sentenced to one year in prison."
"But if they both confess, then each will be sentenced to eight years in prison."
"However, as long as one of you confesses and tells the whole story of the other's crime, the one who confesses will be released."
"The one who didn't confess was sentenced to ten years alone."
"If it were you, what would you choose?"
Lu Xiao replied without thinking:
"Of course they don't plead guilty."
Shadow nodded and said:
"This is the choice that maximizes profits."
"But there's a point here, you can't reach each other."
"You can only judge whether the other party is confessing by guessing."
"What should we do now?"
Lu Xiao groaned, then grinned:
"I choose to jailbreak later."
Shadow seems to have been accustomed to Lu Xiao's way of speaking, so he didn't react much.
Instead, he continued:
"If these two prisoners were replaced by our two countries."
"Confession is exchanged for giving up resistance."
"Denial is replaced by resistance."
"A one-year sentence is exchanged for heavy casualties, and an eight-year sentence is exchanged for exposure to pollution."
"And a ten-year sentence would be exchanged for extermination."
"After replacing these variables, this is the situation we are about to face."
Warden added on the side:
"Prior to this, communication between us will also be cut off."
The jailer's pupils, who had been listening, suddenly shrank.
He said with a slightly trembling voice:
"Is this a test of our humanity?"
Shadow nodded and said solemnly:
"Yes, human nature cannot withstand such a test."
Hearing this, Lu Xiao nodded in understanding.
Soon, under the organization of Antie.
Round Table Conference is called urgently.
This time even Lu Xiao was lucky enough to attend the meeting.
Looking at the surrounding scene, Lu Xiao said "awesome".
What comes into view are the rows of white jade stone pillars, which are like pillars supporting the sky and the earth.
The temple is very large and has many white jade pillars.
Lu Xiao even counted the number of white jade stone pillars.
There are twenty-four in total.
These twenty-four white jade stone pillars support the chaos at the top of the temple.
There are no walls around this temple, so you can see the stars twinkling outside.
In the center of the temple is a huge circular conference table.
There is a huge chair next to the conference table, with the back of the chair being three meters high.
Lu Xiao appeared on one of the seats near the front.
At the head of the conference table are five taller chairs.
These chairs are six meters high and three meters wide.
It is covered with soft cushions.
Behind these five chairs is a taller, throne-like chair.
From Lu Xiao's point of view, this seat is covered with dust.
It felt like no one had sat there for a long time.
Next to Lu Xiao, Shadow gently patted his shoulder and said:
"This time your identity is to participate in the meeting on behalf of C03 Containment Facility."
"I will open a private communication channel. If someone asks you a question later, I will tell you how to answer it in the private channel."
Lu Xiao nodded, then looked at Shadow and said:
"Then what identity do you represent?"
Shadow chuckled and said, "I can just pick up any identity, don't worry about it."
At this time, light beams continued to fall.
These light beams fell precisely on the seats next to the conference table.
Not long after, Director also appeared next to everyone.
His position is next to Lu Xiao.
Further forward is Shadow, then Warden.
Seeing Lu Xiao, I was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:
"Hey, why are you here?"
"I am still sitting in the seat of Doctor."
Hearing this, Lu Xiao first looked at Shadow who was aside.
Because Shadow said just now that if someone asks him a question, Shadow will tell him how to answer in the private channel.
Shadow felt the look in Lu Xiao's eyes. He was stunned for a moment and then said softly:
"You ask this question and you can do whatever you want."
After receiving the instructions from Shadow, Lu Xiao rolled his eyes at Director and said:
"None of your business!"
Director was choked by Lu Xiao's words.
He looked at Shadow with a slightly Confusion look in his eyes and said:
"Mr. Shadow, have you experienced anything unpleasant?"
"Why does Lu Xiao seem to be in a bad mood?"
Hearing Director's question, Shadow held his chin and thought carefully before saying:
"Well, I did experience some unpleasant things."
Hearing this, Director immediately became interested. He looked at Shadow expectantly, waiting for Shadow's next words.
Soon, Shadow spoke slowly and said in a calm tone:
"When I was stuck in a traffic jam, I tried to cut in, but I was chased and scolded by Driver in the car behind me."
Director heard this, his eyes instantly became dull.
As the light beam continued to fall.
Each Leader of the Containment Facility also appeared in the conference venue.
Their expressions were roughly the same, both filled with urgency.
His eyes were full of solemnity.
Then they began to skillfully set up a private channel, and brought people they were familiar with into the group chat and started discussing.
At this moment, five light pillars also appeared on the main seat.
Five old men in suits and ties appeared at the main seat.
The five of them looked at each other and then stood up at the same time.
They first took a few steps back, and then they all bowed deeply towards the Containment Facility leaders sitting at the conference table.
