What Zhang Wen said is all his imagination, and he hasn't witnessed Chen Zhixing's experiences firsthand, so he processes them according to the final outcome.
If Chen Zhixing were to hear his account, he might be quite stunned and wonder if the person in this story is really him.
However, there's one thing Zhang Wen got right.
As long as Chen Zhixing desires, he truly can disregard the lives of the natives, no matter how many die, to him it is merely a set of numbers.
It's not because Chen Zhixing is heartless; if that were true, his humanity would have collapsed long ago.
The real answer is an ancient saying.
Out of sight, out of mind.
As long as they don't die in front of him, forcing him to see the bloody scenes, he can face it all with a relatively calm mindset.
In another way.
When playing a strategy game, players never feel guilty about how many data soldiers have died. Chen Zhixing now holds the same mentality toward unseen deaths.
