Chapter 65: Desperate Wheel!
After the initial cooperation intention was reached, Jiang Heng no longer shied away from this guy with a mouth full of beards, and asked these workers for some information in front of him.
In the background of the world given by the realm, it is only said that this world has been affected by the fall of extraterrestrial meteorites, radiation has swept the world, and insects have become the new masters. The rest of the information is up to them to explore.
"What is your role?"
"Where is your stronghold?"
"What is the current situation in the world?"
"To what extent have insects evolved?"
"What is the current situation of humanity?"
"Where did the extraterrestrial meteorite fall?"
……
A series of questions came out of Jiang Heng's mouth, and he designated the person on the far left to answer these questions first, and the others added them.
Although these people did not have a good understanding of some issues due to their high and low vision, their answers were ultimately to help Jiang Heng sketch a simple world in his mind.
And even if they were hypnotized by Jiang Heng, the tone of these people also revealed a strong concern about the current situation of human existence in the world today.
As wall repairers, they are tasked with maintaining this "wall of hope" on a regular basis. And the interval between their tasks has changed from one week at the beginning to one day now. There are a lot of repairmen, and they are just a small group of them.
Insects have never stopped eroding and destroying this "wall of hope", the difference is that in some places the damage is more severe, while others are much smaller. In areas like the one they are responsible for, the damage is low, and only needs regular maintenance, at most, a small part of the collapsed walls are rebuilt.
The walls there are almost impossible to repair, and under the resistance of humans, there are still countless evolved insects that have come one after another, maintaining a strange balance between repair and destruction.
The insects like them, which they had just cleaned up with the Flame Launcher, were nothing more than the least evolved piece of garbage.
From their mouths, Jiang Heng also learned that the main reason for human beings to leave the mainland at present is not actually the insect plague, but the drastic changes in the ecological environment.
Wherever there is a thick layer of soil, there are all the mutated green plants. No matter how thick and strong the foundation of the city is, it is still destroyed by plants. Even if trees are destroyed, they regenerate just as quickly.
In this most suitable environment for insects, humans can only leave their original home!
If the city is not destroyed, humans can still defend it, but in such an insect paradise, the slightest carelessness will kill humans by evolved insects. No, even if insects don't evolve, how long can an ordinary person who doesn't have enough experience in the wild and doesn't have enough tools go to the Amazon rainforest?
Not to mention humans, even ferocious beasts can't coexist with insects in such a situation!
Due to the different degrees of evolution, the natural predators of insects have gradually become the weaker side.
Nowadays, apart from the ocean, only the polar ice fields are places that insects have not set foot in for the time being.
One night eight years ago, that huge meteorite with a long tail flame pierced the night sky and crashed into the Changbai Mountains.
As soon as we wake up, we know that the world has changed!
As early as the beginning of the insect plague, mankind used nuclear strikes. But it didn't work, the nuclear wasteland was quickly covered with mutated plants, and countless insects that were not afraid of radiation and were even more fierce and terrifying had evolved.
Six years ago, the last group moved from the mainland to the ocean.
Even if humans have evolved in the strange radiation brought by meteorites, they, like all beasts, have evolved far less than insects.
As far as they knew, in just eight years, worms had evolved intelligence comparable to that of humans! Some of the most severely damaged areas of the "Wall of Hope" are the insects that have evolved to command them.
At present, human beings can still rely on technology to compete with insects, but one day, when insects also learn to use technology, where will human beings have a place to stand?
Perhaps, only assimilation into insects, right?
Nowadays, human beings in this world are actively researching biotechnology, and some breakthroughs have been made.
In the mouths of the five repair workers, they believe that this technology is to implant the genes of insects into the human body, so that humans can become insects.
"I've asked all the questions I want to ask, what about you, what else do you want to know?"
After asking for a long time, Jiang Heng finally stopped, and he said to Luo Guxia.
"No, you're asking comprehensively. What's next, let them go back? ”
The bearded guy shrugged.
"Almost, we can follow them to the human stronghold. There isn't much value in the mouths of these guys, and I'd like to find someone with more status to ask. And I'm very interested in their current biotechnology. Jiang Heng held his chin.
"Listen to you, the moment I found out that you had made up a few reincarnation heads, I knew that you were an old yin...... Ahem, veteran. ”
"Hehe, it's over, we can't compare to you, a guy who wouldn't have been able to detect it if he hadn't exposed himself." Jiang Hengpi didn't smile.
Although rationally Jiang Heng thought it was safe to cooperate with this guy, emotionally he didn't dare to relax his vigilance against this guy at all. Moreover, he always felt that there was not much need to cooperate with this guy, and he could completely release Yuki and Yao, who were now staying in the backpack as magic items.
Next, Jiang Heng hypnotized the five repairmen for the last time, telling them that this time it was because the wall was too damaged that they had delayed for a while. Then, he hid in the shadows of several people.
Luo Guxia, on the other hand, turned into a tiny starfish and stuck to the sole of a worker's shoe.
They knew that now these five workers were going to drive the submarine back to the place where they live now - a huge ship with a length of 3,000 meters!
This giant ship has been fixed in one place for a long time, and it has no other function, but only to provide a place for human beings to survive.
On this giant ship, there are more than 10,000 people living compactly!
And a giant ship like this, human beings have cast tens of thousands!
In the first two years after the insect plague came, all other large-scale human activities almost completely stopped, and they did their best to mobilize all the resources and manpower they could use to forge these giant ships and the "wall of hope"!
It has to be said that in the face of disaster, human construction skills will be full.
When Jiang Heng saw hundreds of giant ships lined up side by side, his heart was shocked.
But on these giant ships, the numbness and pain of human beings made him feel extremely sorry.
Living in a time of peace, he could not understand the despair of these people......
