The frozen Forever does not know what has happened to the gatherers who have pinned their hopes on the right to live in the hive icemelt area.

"Hurry up! Hurry up and dig! Work hard! We have to dig up the ice today! Those who don't work can't eat, and they get more for more work, do you understand? ”

Several gatherers with tentacles resembling stone daggers swung their fins and stood steadily in the icy water, while they shouted at the group of gatherers with rounded stones.

The rounded stone gatherers endured the cold and pounded the ice like a worker, and after receiving the shouts of the stone dagger wielders, they slammed the ice even harder.

This change begins with the war between the gatherers, in which the victors not only learned the 'selfishness' that should have been extremely difficult to access, but also possessed the right to live in the hive ice melting zone.

However, they soon discovered that the number of gatherers was still too large, and that the food in the ice melt was not enough to sustain all the victors.

At this point, the victors are faced with two options: continue to fight to reduce the number of individuals, or find another way.

Having just finished the battle, the victors knew very well that their victory was nothing more than a fluke, not to mention that those who survived were the most skilled individuals among the gatherers, and once again, no one could guarantee victory if they were eliminated among the winners.

It is precisely those who cherish life that are once close to death, and the same applies to gatherers, who dare to provoke a full-scale war again, because they will be attacked immediately.

They have chosen to find another way.

By chance, a collector smashed the ice around the ice melt zone, and a high density of microorganisms entered the ice melt zone from the ice.

The hive has created a wonderful ecosystem on the surface of the ice, not only limited to the microorganisms that live in the icemelt zone, but also in the ice around the edge of the icemelt zone.

Just as the original aggressive microbes expanded their territory to the entire planet by killing autotrophic microbes, the large number of microbes killed by the collectors also forced some microbes to hide in the ice to continue their lives.

This new type of microorganism relies on the small amount of heat energy in the ice-melting area to sustain life, and reproduces in large numbers without natural predators.

Gatherers have found new sources of food.

Then the question arises, who will destroy the ice at the edge of the ice melt?

Breaking the ice is a physically demanding task, but the selfish gatherers don't want to do it, and as the victors, they deserve food from the melting ice, which is the contradiction.

Then, they came up with a compromise.

The victors deserve food, so let the non-victors do this physically demanding work, so that all opinions are balanced.

The new gatherers were asexually bred in the same number as the victors, but this time not for the purpose of expanding the number of the race, these were their 'slaves', and the victors were all slave owners.

These newly emerged individuals do not have the genetic memory of the original body, which is due to the results of the microscopic level of the collectors under the leadership of Perpetual Succession.

When they are born, the victors tell them that they are born to serve the victors.

As a result, the 'gods' are forgotten, the privileged class is created among the gatherers, and the 'rights' are unlocked.

The victor laid down a rule for those laborers - more work, less work, and death if you don't.

In other words, if you collect enough microorganisms from the smashed ice to feed more than two collectors, you can get a filling meal.

Less work is less than the standard of smashing the ice to collect the number of microorganisms, which is lower than the standard for more work and more collection, in which case the laborer can only get half-full food.

Tasting the taste of hunger, in order to fill his stomach, laborers will naturally try to crack the ice to get enough microbes.

If you don't work, you die, literally, if you don't participate in labor, you will be put to death immediately.

'Selfishness' is not something that can be resolved by mutual understanding, and the Life Field Channel only makes it difficult for 'selfishness' to appear in the field of vision of collectors, but it cannot eliminate 'selfishness'.

The victors can feel the fatigue of the labor, but they will not pity the labor, but will only watch from afar, thinking - fortunately I am not them, I do not need to suffer this kind of suffering.

The laborers can also feel the comfortable life of the victors, they are envious, but the resistance of any individual of them who tries to fight for status will be suppressed immediately, compared to the laborers who have no combat experience, the victors who have experienced chaotic battles know better where the key points of the gatherers are, how to kill their fellow people faster and more effectively, and the weapons are sharper than the rounded stones.

After several failed revolts, the shared function of the channel further strengthened the class power of the victors, and the laborers also had their own selfish intentions, and they did not want to die.

The small society in the ice melt area was maintained for a long time.

As time passed, the victors discovered a strange thing, and that was that there was a surplus of food collected, which had been withheld from labor, and that the ice had mined more microorganisms than the victors had estimated, and that they could not eat so much food.

So, there was the winner's proposal to distribute the food to the gatherers who needed it.

However, the winners faced the problem that if food was distributed to the laborers, the long-standing rules would be broken, and no one knew what changes would be triggered.

Will the well-fed laborers raise the anti-flag again?

The victors were not without casualties, but their numbers were relatively small compared to the labor.

After much deliberation, the victors produced a new group of gatherers, but in small numbers, and they were given a special task, which was to supervise the laborers and, when appropriate, to spur them on.

The middle class, which specializes in attracting hatred to the labor at the bottom, was born, and the victors of the top class retreated into the background as an effective enforcement force after the rules were broken.

A similar situation occurs in the ice melting area of each hive, the distance is too far to cause the channels to be unable to connect, and the ice melting area established by each hive is like an isolated island, but the same thing happens coincidentally, the strong oppress the weak, the strong exploit the weak, and the strong regulate the weak.

Maybe...... This is called inevitability.
