Chapter 763: Negotiation and Mutation
Attilan is outermost farmland and occupies 60 percent of Attillan, while the overcrowded civilian areas occupy 20 percent of Attilan, and the rest are the high-rise buildings and royal palaces where Inhumans and their families live.
Attillan's Inhumans can be called one in a hundred, the birth of an Inhuman represents the elimination of ninety-nine civilians, the biggest restriction is Terrigen crystals, at the beginning of Attillan's establishment, there were many Terrigen crystals, and no matter how much inventory there was, it couldn't withstand the use of time and time.
With the continuous reduction of Terrigen Crystals, the conditions for selecting the Tyregan Mist Boy have become more and more demanding, and to this day, even Maximus, who is a child of the royal family, only has that one chance, and ordinary children do not even have the opportunity to be selected.
The root of this is the rules set by Attillan's genetic committee, they believe that the offspring of Inhumans have a higher chance of giving birth to Inhumans, and those children whose parents are ordinary people, the chances of successfully passing through the Terrigan Mist are pitiful, and they think that it is a waste of Terrigen Crystals, and the only way for Attilan commoners to become nobles is almost a single-plank bridge
Attilan almost fell into the strange circle of Inhuman children are likely to be Inhumans, and the children of civilians are almost all civilians, but the people from the Inhuman Village on Earth, ninety percent of them are civilians, otherwise they would not have been attacked by others, and they were almost wiped out.
Originally, in the Inhuman Village, everyone lived and worked in peace and contentment, and there was no difference between Inhumans and ordinary people, but when they arrived here, they were divided into three, six, nine and so on, which made the Inhumans from the Earth quite unacceptable, and the longer they lived here, the more they missed the life of the Earth.
Therefore, when Jia Ying, who was rescued, planned to return to Earth, he received the support of a large number of people from Earth, even Gordon was willing to run for him, just to lead everyone back to his hometown after a long absence.
After listening to Gordon's 'story', Greer couldn't help but think of the poem: Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road.
The only thing he knows about Attilan is the TV series that exploded, and what Gordon and Jiaying said, he always felt that a race that could 'colonize' the moon, as well as the existence of supernatural beings, should not be underestimated.
I never thought that this is simply a snowpiercer train, you can think of it with your duodenum, such a hierarchy will inevitably give birth to endless evils, the landlord Lao Cai can still fight with a knife, but the aliens with all kinds of superpowers, the strength exceeds ordinary people too much, and it is not at all that courage can make up for it.
Even Daisy, who has a good temper, is angry, she can imagine how miserable the life of ordinary people here should be, I am afraid it is worse than the old black slave, after all, the Americas were so vast and people were scarce in food and drinking water, but there was nothing but people here.
Then she thought of the last time she saw her mother, her gobbling up appearance, I am afraid that the previous calm and graceful and luxurious were specially dressed to see her, and last time there was really nothing she could do, she could only see her daughter with that embarrassed look.
Thinking about it like this, the anger in Daisy's heart became more and more vigorous, and she felt extremely guilty, and after seeing her so many times, she didn't notice a little, but she still had the illusion that Attilan should be good.
Grell comfortingly pulled Daisy to his side, turned back to Gordon and asked, "Didn't you say that Black Bolt agreed to let you go?" When to go? ”
"The conditions have been negotiated, and after handing over the food, we can leave," Gordon stood up and said, "But we are worried that the Black Bolt King will rebel, and the Black Bolt King has many powerful Inhumans under him, and it is likely that he will get the food, but he will not let us go, and even execute us." ”
"So we're here to deter him." Grell understands their position, tool man.
"That's right, the last time the Black Bolt King went to Earth, he was defeated by you, with you here, they shouldn't dare to do it, so that we can leave safely."
"Don't worry, with us here, we will definitely let everyone go home." Daisy clenched her little fists and said confidently that her strength was much stronger than when she first woke up, and she was able to win at the beginning, but now she will definitely win more easily.
"Hmm!" Grell also nodded casually, but he didn't fully believe Gordon's words, people can blow two skins on their mouths, how to distinguish the true from the fake, before really understanding something, it's best not to make rash remarks, otherwise it will be easy to be slapped in the face.
Gordon saw that Grell and Daisy had made reassurances, a smile appeared on the eyeless face, and the whole person relaxed a lot, and said happily: "The strength of the Inhumans from the earth is not very strong, it is difficult to compete with the Black Bolt King, with you here, we are much more relieved." ”
Maximus has always been regarded as the heir to the throne, but as an adult, two people who experienced the Terrigen Mists at the same time activated the extremely powerful onomatopoeic ability, and the other was an ordinary mortal.
Regardless of what others think so, Maximus thinks so anyway, so since the Black Bolt King succeeded to the throne, Maximus has never smiled, he has a gloomy face all day long, as if the whole world owes him a million, and his eyes are gloomy, if it weren't for the face of the Black Bolt King, he would have been beaten eight hundred times.
In the past few years, Maximus's small actions have become more and more, and in this riot, Karnak suspected that Maximus was involved, but he didn't catch the exact evidence, and he couldn't be convicted based on rumors alone, after all, he was a member of the royal family, and this was a good opportunity to see what Maximus was thinking.
If it weren't for the face of the Black Bolt King, Maximus would definitely be demoted to a miner, digging stones underground, making outstanding contributions to expanding Attillan's space, and even executing him in public to set an example, otherwise everyone would follow suit, Attillan's strict hierarchy would not be ruined, how could he still live in the palace and enjoy fine clothes and food.
Repeatedly warned the crystal not to tell anyone, so as not to leak the news, Karnak did not leave with much confidence, the crystal is the youngest member of the royal family, and has automatically awakened the ability to control the elements, and when he experiences the Terrigen Mists as an adult, I am afraid that more abilities will appear.
But since he was a child, he has mastered great power, coupled with the protection of Black Bolt King and others, except for the last fiasco on the earth, he has hardly encountered any setbacks, which is quite worrying, if he doesn't tell him, he will do something irrational on impulse.
Black Bolt King and Kar Nike want to lure the snake out of the hole, and Jia Ying and Maximus, the two 'allies' who are even more discordant, are not idle, secretly using various methods to win over Inhumans and strengthen their own power, so as to confront Black Bolt King.
It's not that Black Bolt and Karnak don't want to stop the small actions in the dark, they are really too busy, just to restore order in Attilan and stabilize the hearts of the Inhuman race, involving their great energy, and to let people bring tetanus to the earth to transport food, they really can't spare too much manpower to take care of Jia Ying.
After all, she has Gordon by her side who can teleport, who can be transferred at any time, even if they put their people standing in every corner of Attillan, Jia Ying can go to Earth.
Moreover, Karnak thinks that Jia Ying or other thoughtful people are just ringworm scabies, and if they can succeed, they will not 'lurk' for a decade or two, until Attilan encounters a food crisis, and as long as the food crisis is solved, those civilians who are incited will naturally go home.
Without those civilians, with Jia Ying and their loyal followers, it would be impossible to become a climate, and it would be much easier to solve it then.
They are all thousand-year-old foxes, Black Bolt King and Karnake understand the truth, Jia Ying and Maximus naturally know that they can make Black Bolt King cast a mouse trap by virtue of the civilians who were coerced by hunger, and once the civilians no longer rioted, that is when they will be liquidated.
Therefore, taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, they are doing everything possible to prolong and aggravate the food crisis, and at the same time attract more aliens to be on their side.
Maximus preached that everyone is equal, turning ordinary people's envy of strangers into anger, born as a human being, why are you superior to me because of your awakening ability, and live a life of humor, while I have to work tirelessly every day to get a little bit of food.
Maximus's point of view is very marketable among young people who fail to activate their abilities, and it attracts many people, who do not want to get the same treatment as Inhumans, but only to make their lives a little better, not to mention that there is a food crisis everywhere now, and if they don't do anything, they will definitely starve to death.
These young people, who are not lacking in adventurous spirit and are in the late stage of rebellion, always hope to change the world by themselves, and then they are beaten by society, grinding away the sharpness, losing their ideals, throwing away their ambitions, and becoming featureless bricks, which are stacked up layer upon layer, cast into glamorous high-rise buildings, and trampled under people's feet.
As for Jia Ying, she mainly contacted the villagers and their descendants of the original Earth Inhuman Village, these people have seen the real blue sky, white clouds, earth, and rivers, and are more eager to return to Earth than the aborigines of Attilan, so Jia Ying has received their full support, just to return to her former homeland.
As the atmosphere in Attilan grows tense, Gordon takes Grell and Daisy to the moon 380,000 kilometers away and sets foot on the land of Attillan.
Jia Ying didn't come forward, but Gordon took them from the earth to a building with more than twenty floors, the decoration is absolutely primitive (nothing was done), Banner can definitely find the feeling of living in the slums here, lighting by light bulbs, furniture, tables, chairs and benches, what TV, washing machine, refrigerator, you can't see at all.
"This..."Daisy opened her mouth slightly and looked at the dilapidated house in shock, the decoration is basically a wall, the lighting is only light bulbs, the furniture is a table, chairs and benches, what refrigerators, TVs, washing machines, not even a single part can be found, such a poor room, she has only seen it in TV series.
Gordon sat down on the dirty stool very calmly, and said with a smile at Greel, "In Attilan, if you live here, there will be many commoner women vying to marry you. ”
"Uh-huh???"
Grell and Daisy were collectively confused, just this dilapidated house, the walls were cracked, the decoration was completely negative, in addition to the long history can be modern, there is no more advantage, is it possible that it has become a hot commodity in Attillan?
Turning his head to look out the window, there are buildings one after another, and there are blue skies and white clouds upwards, which are the same as the earth, which reminds people of "Truman's World".
The difference is that Truman is deceived by the people around him, while Attillan's Inhuman is deceiving himself, using these to make 'himself' think that he is still on Earth instead of being in this small land.
The Inhumans who can create a protective shield that simulates the blue sky and white clouds, can't they even solve the housing problem? Turning such a dilapidated building into a rarity is too much in line with Grell and Daisy's thoughts of Attillan.
Gordon sneered and said resentfully: "That's why we want to return to Earth, staying here will only slowly perish, Black Bolt They don't want to lose power, they would rather let everyone slowly decay than let us leave." ”
Then Gordon began to introduce the situation of Attillan, after they were rescued from Earth, they were originally full of gratitude to Attillan, but when they wanted to return to Earth to find their captured relatives, they were refused, and only said that they would help them find it.
They believed and began to wait, but as the days passed, there were few friends and relatives who were rescued, but Attilan stopped the rescue and once again refused their request to return to Earth, telling them only that Attilan was home to the Inhumans and was safe here.
Safety is safe, but it's not comfortable at all, the space is extremely narrow, it's okay if you have abilities, you can live in a decent house, and you can get food that fills your stomach, but if you don't have abilities, you'll be assigned to a slum, and you can get a little food to wrap your stomach when you're tired and tired.
The arable land is extremely limited, don't want to grow your own land and vegetables, the water source is also limited, most of them are used to irrigate crops, even if it is a strange person bathing is a very luxurious thing, in Attillan, you invite the other party to take a bath, it is basically the same as buying a house on the earth.
....
Grell and Daisy were dumbfounded when they heard this, they never expected that the real situation of Attillan, who 'colonized' the moon, turned out to be like this, even beggars are better than the civilians here, after all, beggars still have kind people to give alms, but here, there are no such people at all, because everyone is living an extremely difficult life, and they are still alive, how can they be sympathetic.
Following Gordon's point, Grell and Daisy looked at the farther house, which was even lower, crowded like pigeon cages stacked on top of each other, and then looked at the room where it was twenty or thirty square meters, and it was indeed a mansion.
But...
Grell and Daisy looked at the huge pyramid-like building in the center of the city, the exterior was so beautifully decorated, it was perfectly conceivable how luxurious the interior was, compared to a paradise on earth, and it was the palace of the Inhuman royal family.
