Meng Chao took a deep breath.

Even though he had fragments of memories from his previous life, he still felt that his three views had been strongly impacted.

But calm down and think carefully, what Ye Xiaoxing said is not impossible.

If it is the earth, in just half a century, nature is not enough for human civilization, including individual human beings, to produce essential mutations.

But this is the Otherworldly.

From the physical to the spiritual, everything is extremely unstable, as if everything is growing at an accelerated pace, evolving wildly, and surviving the fittest in a brutal survival screening.

In just fifty years, Dragon City was able to acquire so many black technologies, unlock the mysteries of runes and psionic powers, and cultivate transcendents who could freely soar above the sea of clouds.

Do you know that the satellite towns scattered in the depths of the Monster Mountains can't get their own adventures?

"Meng Chao, you are a reaper, you should be able to see that many monsters should not exist at all from a biological point of view, right? For example, something like a 'seven-star tarantula' is like a stitch of a canine monster and an arthropod monster - is this a wild environment, can it evolve naturally? ”

Ye Xiaoxing continued, "There are all kinds of signs that many monsters did not evolve on their own, but ...... A biological weapon concocted by a prehistoric civilization in the Atlas.

"Of course, the prehistoric civilization of the other world has collapsed for a long time, and judging from the research results of the 'Ancient Ruins Research Institute' that we set up under the Transcendent Tower, it was at least a million years ago, and the current monsters are more driven by animal instincts, and do not have too advanced wisdom, and have a clear intention to completely destroy us.

"But, after all, they have brains.

"It's not just the mammalian brain, it's the neural network of the ultimate sandworm that's complex enough to carry intelligence.

"In other words, some high-level monsters, from the 'hardware' level, can run intelligence.

"It's just that, in addition to hardware support, we also need software, that is, teamwork, social division of labor, and tens of thousands of years of ideology and culture to condense into wisdom in the true sense.

"That's why, after we hunted a lot of doomsday beasts, we found that its brain was obviously very developed, with ganglia and sulci circuits far beyond our humans, but it still didn't awaken its wisdom.

"The problem is that we can't confirm at all how big the scope of Longcheng is, whether there are only a few new cities in the main city and suburbs, or all the satellite towns, even including dozens of towns and hundreds of villages under the jurisdiction of Longcheng.

"You know, even the smallest village has a population of hundreds, and it can form a fairly complete human social system.

"If this small village fell into the hands of a monster with mind control ability and brain 'hardware' enough to carry wisdom from the beginning of the crossing, and this monster did not simply and rudely eat all the villagers for various reasons, but ...... How terrible will this monster become, snooping on their brains, reading their memories, learning their language, learning about the customs and culture, social systems, governance models, methods of warfare on the earth, and finally, mastering all our strengths and weaknesses?

"Or, the monster itself did not give birth to wisdom and self-awareness, but in order to survive, the villagers who crossed over did a lot of things that broke the bottom line of ethics and morality, such as gnawing the corpses of the same kind, etc., and were distorted into 'inhuman' by the cruel environment, once they found out about the existence of Dragon City, wouldn't they use the power of monsters to deal with Dragon City?"

“……”

Meng Chao thought for a moment and said, "After all, we are compatriots who crossed over together half a century ago, are you sure that the residents of these satellite towns will definitely be hostile to us?" Didn't you just say that the residents of Dragon King Town, in addition to loving the second dimension, are not too aggressive? ”

"Ryuo Town is a special case, because the 'Sacred Tree' that forms a symbiotic relationship with the inhabitants there is a plant-like lifeform, and the townspeople have been feeding on sap for a long time, and their aggression has been greatly weakened."

Ye Xiaoxing said calmly, "In fact, according to the sociologists of the Beast Investigation Bureau, if there are really other satellite towns that have crossed into the depths of the fog and spent fifty years in the wilderness, there is a good chance that they will be hostile and strongly aggressive towards us. ”

Meng Chao said: "Why? ”

"It's very simple, think of the story of a starship that escaped from Earth in science fiction."

Ye Xiaoxing said, "If you are the captain of one of the starships, by attacking other starships, killing thousands of people of the same kind, plundering their resources, and embarking on an incomparably dark journey, at this time, you have found a second starship, which looks bigger than your starship, and the firepower is more ferocious, and even the other party still adheres to the concept of morality and the legal system on the earth, may I ask, in addition to striking first, do you have a second choice?" ”

Meng Chao was silent.

I have to admit that Ye Xiaoxing is right.

Some bottom lines, once broken, can never be turned back.

"Even for us in Dragon City, it is impossible to let all the satellite towns degenerate into demon caves that exterminate humanity."

Ye Xiaoxing said, "We can tolerate the existence of Dragon King Town because they are harmless for the time being, as you said, cannibalism, 'judging witches' or something, are all things of the previous generation, and now they are ' The new generation born of Shenmu has nothing to do with it, and the new generation has not found any crimes that break the bottom line for the time being, except for the love of the second dimension, so out of love for our compatriots and respect for the new customs, we don't need to implement coercive measures against Dragon King Town, for the time being, let them immerse themselves in the two-dimensional world and obtain simple happiness and tranquility.

"But if a satellite town is bound to a symbiotic relationship with a carnivorous monster, or under the influence of the monster, it has developed the custom of cannibalism, the custom of burial of the living, and the custom of sacrificing humans to monsters, can we still sit idly by?

"Don't say it's impossible, it's the fifty-sixth year of the new era, and in the long river of history, more than half a century is just a short moment, but based on the reproductive age of human beings, even if you have a child at the age of eighteen, fifty-six years is enough to give birth to three generations.

"On Earth, there is a ten-year generation gap, and the evolution rate of the other world is at least ten times faster than that of the earth, and three generations is enough time to form a civilization that we cannot understand and absolutely unacceptable.

"From the perspective of practical interests, 'the side of the couch will not allow others to snore'; from the basis of the existence of Dragon City and the belief of our human civilization, we will never tolerate the existence of this kind of devil's cave and ruin our great civilization.

"The problem is, we haven't found such a cave yet.

"But as long as this kind of demon cave exists, it will naturally be much easier for them to discover us, after all, the scale of Dragon City is so large, since the Great Expedition era, it has left too many clues in the Monster Mountain Range.

"As long as they still remember a little bit of the art of war of human civilization, 'strike first' is their only choice."

Meng Chao heard that his head was full of cold sweat, and said, "Team Leader Ye, do you mean that these ...... The deformed and mutated 'humans' want to use the power of monsters to completely destroy us? ”

"If you don't destroy us completely, you will turn us into what they are."

Ye Xiaoxing said, "Among a hundred people, there is one person who has a tail on his buttocks, and this person is a monster; But if ninety-nine out of a hundred people have tails, the only one that doesn't have a tail is a monster.

"These guys can't turn back, when they find that the size of Dragon City is too big to directly destroy us, the most likely thing to do is to mess us up from the inside, find ways to pull us into the water, let us also break through all the bottom lines of human nature, and finally, become them."

Meng Chao closed his eyes and gently rubbed the bridge of his nose, really unwilling to believe it.

But with the fragments of his past life's memories, he knows better than anyone that Ye Xiaoxing's malicious conclusion is very likely to be very close to the truth.

"Meng Chao, please don't blame me for imagining the same kind of people in the past as so evil, in the issue of the clash of civilizations, kindness and malice are not important, even if the other party is not evil, but full of goodwill, they still treat us as the same kind, and even want to save us, there is still a possibility of a very fierce conflict between them."

Ye Xiaoxing said, "Let's take Dragon King Town as an example, suppose Dragon King Town gave birth to a peerless powerhouse by chance, and this peerless powerhouse discovered the existence of Dragon City, and he is indeed full of kindness and wants to save us, what do you think he will do?"

"Will he infiltrate Dragon City and kill all the most beautiful female stars in the city?"

Meng Chao was stunned: "What? ”

"From the perspective of this strong man in Dragon King Town, women are demons, the more beautiful women are, the more dangerous they are, and women will only provoke cannibalism between men and eventually destroy the entire civilization - this is not his paranoid fantasies, but the history of Dragon King Town, the imprint he engraved on the genetic level, and the indestructible belief that his parents have taught since childhood."

Ye Xiaoxing said, "Burn all the witches in reality, let the 'Divine Tree' blossom and bear fruit in Dragon City, and let all men throw themselves into the arms of the two-dimensional saint - if this kind Dragon King Town powerhouse really wants to save us, he will definitely think so, right?"

"No matter how much we explain, he can't understand what a normal relationship between men and women means, and will only think that we are all bewitched by witches, so he is more determined to burn all witches - maybe he will expand the scope of the attack and burn all the couples, after all, the couples from the perspective of 'Dragon King Town Civilization' are likely to be the witch and her loyal dog!

"This example may not be particularly appropriate, but in short, you can understand what I mean, every civilization has an internal logic that can justify itself, and it also has the instinct to expand outward and influence other civilizations, and our conflict with the 'lost satellite town' is inevitable, perhaps, it has already happened."
