Section 237 Extinction Warning
It was a prison guard who delivered food.
Lu Wu remembered that he had watched a documentary, as if the prison was a canteen system - everyone went to the cafeteria to eat together. But it's not clear whether this is because the detention center is relatively small (after all, it is a detention center, not a prison), or because his personal situation is more delicate.
In short, such an unhappy-looking prison guard came over and placed a plastic dinner plate and a bowl of rice at the door. He didn't say a word, let alone remind Lu Wu, he didn't even bother to look at it, turned around and left.
The plates sent over are not worth the level of food in the detention center. Not to mention the lackluster content - what is the grade of food in the detention center, a "tears behind bars" in the last century has given a full interpretation - the plate itself alone can greatly affect human appetite. In addition to the hot meal, there was some slimy ...... on top Well, it feels like something that was formed after some kind of food scrap got moldy at least three days ago. And, worst of all, it's still stuck to the plate.
You must know that although Lu Wu once wanted to be an adventurer. If he is in the wild at this time, then according to the knowledge he has, even insects, earthworms and the like dare to eat them. However, when he saw this thing, he completely lost his appetite.
Even by the standards of survival in the wilderness, this thing is best not to eat.
"This ...... What does that mean?" Lu Wu was still a little puzzled.
Of course, he was mentally prepared for the attitude of the prison guards - this should be the norm, and there is no place to blame. But for the question of food...... He hadn't thought of it at all beforehand.
Unclean food can cause illness – it's a basic hygiene common sense that everyone understands. So if this level of hygiene is maintained for a long time, then does the detention center want the prisoners inside to get sick on a large scale? Obviously, it is not enough for one or two people to get sick by chance, but a large group of prisoners will be sick for a long time...... It's a lot of trouble.
This kind of very abnormal thing can only be understood now with ulterior motives.
In other words, although I brought something to eat, I actually hope that you will not eat it. In other words, how can a normal person who has just entered the detention center and has not changed his habits to eat this kind of thing?
Now Lu Wu understands why he was temporarily locked up in this humble room where there are no neighbors and no one to talk to.
In the final analysis, it is actually a "killing stick". A tradition that has been passed down from ancient times to thousands of years.
After all, modern civilization has progressed, and it can't be directly punished with a physical punishment, "hitting the mighty stick of three hundred kills". However, it still takes a head start to cause you a major psychological change. Let the prisoners inside understand that they are prisoners and not guests.
So, let you stay in this uninhabited, lonely environment for a few days. And then, I'll starve you for a meal or two. After a toss, the arrogance outside, the habit and the like are gone, and then it can be easily managed.
Although the means are much gentler than the killing stick, they are actually very cruel. Because this method harms the human spirit, not the body. Loneliness, for example, hunger, are actually very torturous things.
It is not clear if this is a common phenomenon or if this is a special policy here. In short, that's what it means.
"This ...... Something shouldn't be edible, right?" Lu Wu asked.
Now he already knows that the camera in this cell has been disconnected, so as long as there is no one around, he can naturally talk as he wants.
"Well, it's not very good. The master replied. "Eat something else. ”
While speaking, Dumb reappeared. It was so inexplicable that it appeared in front of Lu Wu. Dumb certainly didn't come empty-handed, with a plastic bag in his mouth – the kind of bagged bread that is so common in supermarkets these days.
Lu Wu now understands that Dumb can not only blur himself, but also other things - purely from this point of view, it is stronger than Amber - the only problem is that he doesn't know if this ability can be used infinitely. For example, can you directly blur Lu Wu's body. Let him also have the ability to pass through walls for the time being.
Considering the size of the detention center itself, from the impression that Dumb must have at least a minute to blur Lu Wu to get out.
Having said that, Lu Wu now finally understood why Dumb never needed him to provide food - this ability of his ability allowed him to find food easily. Of course, the other possibility is that Dumb doesn't need food at all.
Of course, these thoughts were only fleeting. Before Lu Wu could speak, Dumb threw the bag of bread in his hand at his feet with a disgusted expression, and then disappeared again. Its ability to blur is obviously controllable - first one part of the body, then another.
"I ordered. When Lu Wu picked up the bread, the master said. "On the web, I ordered a box directly. ”
It should be noted that Lu Wu was really unprepared in this regard before. After all, anyone knows that modern prisoners, regardless of their standard of living, at least theoretically do not go hungry. At most, the food is a little unpalatable—and Lu Wu thinks that he has very low requirements for food. After all, he once wanted to be an adventurer, the kind of flowers and grasses, insects, insects, birds, and birds in the wild. And it's unseasoned.
"Master, thank you. ”
"Ha, partner, you're so polite. Let's hope this is the end soon. ”
"End as soon as possible...... Is it?"
"yes, it's just a small thing, the real test is coming. Remember the last time we went back? I tried to gather as much information as I could about the Banshee's Gate and the Gashees. ”
Lu Wu can imagine. After such a long period of time, the relevant information or something is no longer confidential. Even if it's secrecy, it's a very low-level one.
"The final verdict is...... It's not optimistic. The master said. "Partner, I didn't say it, but ...... That 'alienation' is too fast, and it's extremely hard to stop. ”
"What?"
"I mean, if that Lunatic Warlock comes to Earth with that artifact (to be particular, because there is no corresponding concept, the word can only be translated as 'artifact' in Chinese), find a companion before opening it. Then we have a chance. On the contrary, if he came to Earth, no matter how many seven twenty-one opened the artifact first...... So...... You'd better be enlightened. ”
"What an enlightenment. ”
"The consciousness of the destruction of humanity on earth. The master said. "It's highly unlikely—after all, the Moon Warlock himself has to think about his own survival—but if that happens, there's only so much we can do. The master seemed to groan. "The limit of what I can do is probably to ensure the survival of about 30,000 human beings on Earth, but that's all. ”
Although the number of "30,000 ......" is very small, Lu Wu knows that alienation will last for hundreds of years. Maintaining 30,000 people in a few hundred years is a remarkable thing. At the very least, the civilization of the earth's humans should be maintained.
However, the current population of the earth, according to the latest statistics, Lu Wu remembers that it is more than 8 billion. Of the more than 8 billion people, only 30,000 will survive...... What a terrible catastrophe it was. It is no exaggeration to call it genocide. And it's not just humans who are unlucky. It is known that all living things on Earth are not immune to this fate.
This pollution is clearly beyond the power of human beings on Earth. Not to mention the earthlings, the warlocks whose technology is one or two grades higher than the earth, and who have powerful supernatural abilities, are also helpless against this kind of thing. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the Warlocks were a civilization with foresight, perhaps the Gashes would have succeeded.
"The ideal scenario is for us to destroy the Stygian Warlock before they even open it—that's ideal. The second is that he has just opened the artifact, and we will destroy it in time, so it is estimated that the infected area will be limited to a limited range. The worst thing of course is that he left it on long enough...... So what we can do is try to protect the survival of 30,000 people. ”
Speaking of this topic, the master was obviously a little hesitant. "So, partner, you have to remember one thing. In order to protect the world and protect your civilization, all means can be taken. It's a noble thing. ”
"I know. Lu Wu inexplicably remembered the previous battlefield, those dead soldiers (maybe terrorists). The master may have asked him to test the weapon for some other purpose.
"Do you have the determination to destroy this city?" the master asked suddenly. This question caught Lu Wu off guard.
"If this method can't find that fateful old enemy......" the master said in a slow, but clear voice. "Then I propose, partner, to destroy the city, and perhaps further, to destroy the province. Wipe out all the humans here. In this way, it should be possible to eliminate the old enemy of fate. ”
"That...... We will succeed. Lu Wu replied. As he spoke, he looked at the heavy iron door in front of him.
"Of course, it's up to you, partner. The master replied. "However, the killing should be done soon. ”
"What should I do at night?" Lu Wu turned the topic to his futon. As mentioned earlier, he now has a dirty and smelly quilt in his hand. Although it is said that I can sleep if I am improvised, but within the scope of my ability, I don't like dirty smells, and I always want to be clean.
"This ...... I can only rely on Dumb. I'll take care of it. The master said. "Partner, back to the topic just now, I guess the action behind the scenes must have begun. Sending you to jail is not the ultimate goal. ”
