Chapter 39: A Dream That Lasted for a Thousand Years
Leith looked at the gate that glowed with a faint red light in front of him, and countless low-level demons passed through the gate one after another, heading to the other world. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Leith dreams of himself a thousand years ago, once honored as king on the continent behind that door.
He will always remember that day thousands of years ago.
Standing atop a tower in the center of the continent, Leith admires the world. The remnants of the people in the sunlight were a huge disparity that Lees loved.
The fragile body of a human being, a game of hide and seek with low-level demons. Although Leith does not like to participate in the game of life as a stake, Leith likes the appearance of human beings wandering in despair and panic.
In the eyes of demons, human beings are actually no different from other low-level creatures in the eyes of humans, it is just a matter of angle.
Remember when Leith came here, it was a fantasy world. Human beings do not have to rely on their bodies, and there are a large number of auxiliary machines, whether it is walking or various things, there are different machines to assist.
Perhaps, God has endowed human beings, who are physically more fragile than demons, with creativity that demons do not have. However, the weapon they had pinned their hopes on became meaningless in the face of the demon's powerful body, and the destruction of the world was a foregone conclusion.
However, Leith is very fond of the desperate look of humans in their predicament, and he genuinely loves 'humans' as creatures.
The complex way of thinking of human beings and the so-called selfishness of human nature doom them to betrayal, and Leith admires this ability of human beings to perceive the situation. Much more intelligent than other living forms.
How can such an interesting species become extinct so easily? Leith has the humans living on this continent playing a huge game of hide and seek every once in a while.
Leith gave humans a period of recuperation, so that they could reproduce, so that they would not become extinct too easily, but they would not have to play in the future.
After a period of recuperation, the demons will be sent to various parts of the continent to capture tens of thousands of people to this area, and then completely blockade them, allowing the low-level demons to hunt and eat as much as they want.
Seven continents, ruled by seven high-level demon kings, each with its own way of playing, the continent where Leith is located is the future continent of light. Leith is also the most feared ruler of the Seven Continents.
Today, too, is the day of the game. Leas walked out of the tower, a symbol of his identity, looking around at the despicability of the ants on the ground in the game of life stakes, and waiting for the despair and curses on the faces of the human beings at the moment when they were overwhelmed by negative emotions.
Leith's qi sensed that a group of humans had fled to the bottom of the tower, and he detached a part of his soul to observe the people who had fled here.
At this time, the entire area of the continent is in the game, and all the demons have gone to hunt for food, and at this time, the tower really has no other threat except for Leith, and Leith himself is not involved in this game.
It's just that Leith still admires this group of people very much, and he has the courage to come to this place. If they did manage to survive the thirty-day game period here, Leith would still allow them to live.
However, as human beings, they have to think about one issue, and that is the issue of food.
As a demon, you don't need to eat, and food is just something you don't want for a demon. But as a human being, the result of not eating for 30 days should be death.
Leith was interested in letting some of the souls follow them, wondering how they were going to get through it, or if it was just a mortal decision.
Each of them carried a large amount of food, which seemed to have been planned for today for a long time, and all of them were foods such as canned food, which not only had a long storage life, but also made it easy to carry.
These 18 people would pack up their food every time they ate, and carry their backpacks with them, as if they had a plan.
Leith appreciates the idea that if they can win the game, they will have certain immunity, for example, if they have the immunity they have given in their own area, they will be able to avoid the superiority of a game.
Although Leith is very reluctant to do this, he also has to do it, so that humanity has a certain hope, and they will be more motivated to want to live, so that the game will be exciting.
Although Leith does not know what the minimum needs of human beings to sustain life are, based on his observations in the past two days, Leith has also roughly calculated that according to the amount of food eaten by this group of people, it can only last for another 10 days at most, that is, in another 10 days at most, they will face the dilemma of not having food.
Of course, Leith had already thought about this question, if the prey involved in this game was to starve to death, then how should the game continue?
There is a lot of emergency food scattered around this area, but how many people are willing to risk their lives to find food on the streets? This is only possible when it is necessary and when humanity has to exclude the search. But isn't that enough?
When being chased and life is threatened, people's meanness and selfishness will gradually manifest themselves. A despicable act of deliberately putting a companion in a dangerous situation in order to survive for himself.
It is truly the highest pleasure to watch the horror and despair of those who thought they had succeeded in escaping when they were finally chased after them.
Leith watched the group with interest, wondering if the group of people who thought they were smart would be the first to survive the one-month game period.
Gradually, as time passed, several more days passed. By this time, these people were already aware of the lack of food.
Two people suggested going out and looking for food to replenish it, which seemed to be the only way at the moment. However, if that's all there is to it, how can it be of interest to Leith?
The group teamed up to kill the two who had proposed to go out to find food to replenish them, and the hesitation when they did it, and the fear of being haunted by the guilt of killing someone else made Leith very excited.
With two fewer people and a little less food, everyone may be able to barely support one more day, but there is no way to do it for the remaining 20 days.
It's just that in the next two days, everyone fell into silence, since the reduction of two people, the atmosphere has not returned to the same ease as when there were 13 people before, falling into silence and suspicion, no one dares to speak again, for fear of becoming the target of the public. No one dared to be careless, afraid that once they fell asleep, they would never wake up again.
As long as there is a little wind and grass, everyone will be like a frightened bird. Leith noticed that everyone's faces were already languishing, but they didn't dare to close their eyes. Even the food was no longer dared to be eaten openly, and everyone began to subconsciously avoid others.
Once a companion who had been together, he was now a stranger and even a potential enemy, and Leith laughed at the fragility of humanity in his heart.
After two more days of peace and quiet, finally someone was left without food, and everyone's spirit was on the verge of collapse.
This time, with supporters, a total of 5 people offered to go out in search of food. All the time, everything is because of the lack of food, and as long as there is enough food, then everyone does not have to be so hostile to others.
However, there are still 6 people who are worried about one problem, and this problem is the only problem that 13 people are very worried about.
That is, if someone is discovered by a demon in the process of searching for food, will that person run away somewhere else? If you run away from here, you will attract a large group of demons, and in the end, everyone present will not be able to escape, and they will fall into a certain death situation.
It was a crisis of confidence, and yet almost everyone present didn't know each other before, and wanted to entrust their lives to a stranger? It's better to take control of your own life.
This alliance, Leith knew from the beginning that it would be divided, it was only a matter of time. Now that they are divided into two factions, there is no room for negotiation.
Because, people without food are left with only two options. Or, killing someone else and taking someone else's food for themselves is also a problem that has been faced since the other day.
But just a few days ago, everyone knew very well in their hearts that as long as one person dared to jump out, he would immediately become the target of public criticism. Whether this person kills someone else or is killed by a group of people, those who survive will have one less burden. Only, who would dare to take this risk?
Since we didn't do this a few days ago, there is not much point in doing it now, on the contrary, because even if there is food at this time, there is not much food, and the idea of putting forward this idea at this time has the possibility of reuniting the alliance to a certain extent.
However, it is necessary for this decision to occupy the majority of the agreement for the alliance to be formed. Otherwise, this proposal will crush this fragile alliance once and for all. It should be said that those 5 people also knew in their hearts that they were taking risks. One of the men's hands was secretly clenching the dagger, which he had brought in to defend himself, but he did not expect that this would become his talisman.
Suddenly, a young man in his 20s, who objected to the search for food, found it and pointed out the man's dagger. Immediately, the man became the target of everyone's group attack.
The man was alone and eventually died. However, after all, the man had a dagger in his hand, and before the man died, he also dragged down five people to accompany him through Huangquan Road.
At this point, there were four members of the opposition group, including the young man, and two others in favor. The remaining two knew that they were going to die.
If you stay and defend to the death, you can't escape the fate of starvation, and you can only have a chance if you go out and fight. However, the 4 people on the opposite side will definitely not let themselves out, since this is the case, a bloody battle is inevitable.
They know, but how can the other not know? The young man had already secretly put away the dagger, ready to respond at any moment. Leith was very excited, and after waiting for so many days, he finally got something really worth getting excited about. However, the ending was unexpected by Leith.
The young man did not hesitate to kill the two people on the other side, even the people on his own side, and even the young woman who had always had a good relationship with him did not hesitate to do so. The attack was ruthless, and there was even excitement on his face, even Leith was a little frightened.
The young man had been waiting for this opportunity, and he knew from the beginning that this situation would definitely arise, so the man had been waiting and had been patient.
He didn't think that one person could carry enough food for a month with just one rucksack, he knew that it was impossible, so, from the beginning, he had other purposes.
Leith roughly estimated that the remaining food would not allow the man to survive the game period, and the man would eventually have to find food. However, Leith did not anticipate that the man's intention was not to monopolize all the food, but to create new food.
When others see their cruelty, how many people can really spend the rest of their days with them? Since you want to do it, you should be ruthless and put yourself in an absolutely safe position, so the man killed everyone ruthlessly.
Leith's soul watched as the man used the corpses of the slain as his own nourishment...... And all this...... It's all about living for yourself......
