Chapter 20: Controlling Balance
The crowd successfully defended themselves against the night attack, and naturally threw the carcass of the camel man into the desert, as if the event was not worth celebrating.
"Hey, senior brother, aren't you afraid that those camel people will come back and retaliate by throwing corpses like this?" Drew deliberately raised his voice, "What if they come back in the middle of the night?" ”
A big swarthy man smiled and said, "So we're going to keep defending, but in my experience, these camel people don't pose much of a threat." ”
Jiang Yilang intuitively felt that the camel people were far more powerful than humans: "Can't they pose a threat? Their numbers are overwhelming for us. ”
"Hehe, instead of worrying about this, the two novices should think about how to be lazy and sleep." Dahan pushed Jiang Yilang away and hid in the storage area he was guarding.
"Sleep? I can still fall asleep. Drew and Jiang Yilang looked at each other, and their sleepiness suddenly came up, and they hid in the storage area with everyone.
In his sleep, Jiang Yilang saw Wenda standing tall up, his palm like a scimitar, and he split the human head with a knife, followed by the massacre of the camel people against the human.
In the early morning, the radical music came from inside the wall, and Sister An organized the labor group to start the day's work. The members of the security team were smiling and enjoying breakfast, reporting to Locke on last night's results.
Jiang Yilang and Drew rushed to eat something, and did not forget to report to Locke about the situation last night.
Locke looked at Jiang Yilang with a dull smile on his face: "What's the matter, it's very touching to see a camel man killed?" ”
"Everybody is human......" Drew half-joked, after all, camel people and humans speak the same language.
Locke was stimulated by these words, and pulled up Drew's collar: "Remember, they are camel people, we are humans, and we are two different races." ”
"Captain Locke!" Jiang Yilang hugged Locke's wrist with both hands, "They are also the product of human evolution." ”
Locke raised his arm and shook off the two of them: "The Transition Corridor is different from Ju'an City, if we don't maintain the arrogance and particularity of human beings, sooner or later we will be assimilated by those camel people, are you really willing to change your face and go underground to live?" ”
"They're also here for life." Jiang Yilang fully understands the theory of evolution, in the desert environment, the camel people choose a way of life that is more adapted to the environment, which is the survival of the fittest.
"Whew......" Locke twisted his neck and pointed to the desert in the distance and roared, "Then why did you choose to come to the Transition Corridor in the first place, wouldn't it be better to stay under the desert and evolve slowly?" ”
Jiang Yilang and Drew were stopped by this sentence, and came to the transition corridor to get closer to Ju'an City, and one day they would return to Ju'an City.
Locke fell silent, waved at the two of them, and said, "Okay, okay, go and rest, according to the rules, you will report to the logistics team." ”
Drew pulled Jiang Yilang, and the two of them reasoned with Locke, which was equivalent to Xiucai meeting soldiers.
Jiang Yilang still had questions in his heart, and stepped forward to grab Locke's arm: "Captain Locke, I still have a question?" ”
"What's the problem, say it quickly!" Captain Locke is not a good-natured man.
Jiang Yilang said sincerely: "The number of camel people in the desert is far greater than ours, they don't need to steal at all, it's not better to grab it directly!" ”
"Rob? Do you think the AI of the Wall of Creation is an ornament? Locke looked at the red light on the wall, "AI not only supervises our labor, but also protects our safety." ”
"Protect us?" Drew was puzzled, "These guys just treat us like slaves. ”
"AI steps in when it thinks the size and number of camel people is a big threat to human survival," Locke explains. Thousands of camels attacked, and the AI activated the slaughter protocol and killed all of them, and it took us three days to clean up the battlefield. ”
Jiang Yilang felt ridiculous: "Is this protecting us?" It's all about finding a balance. ”
"Yes, species balance!" Drew understood it thoroughly, "The people of the city deliberately kept the humans by the walls, but to a certain extent, they allowed the expansion of the camel people. ”
"What are they going to do?" Jiang Yilang turned his head and stared at the Wall of Creation, "What is the layout of the high-level of Ju'an City. ”
Locke clapped his hands vigorously and scolded loudly: "You must not fight the idea of Ju'an City, this kind of idea will kill everyone." ”
"Don't you think it's a shame to be kept in captivity by AI like this?" Drew was enthusiastic, "Are you going to live like this forever?" ”
Locke's eyes were full of anger, and his fists were clenched: "It's not me, it's us!" When you stay in the desert for a long time, you will understand what is more important than survival and shame. ”
The members of the security team drove Jiang Yilang and the others out of the camp, and the girl who was responsible for delivering food every day greeted them.
Jiang Yilang looked at this girl carefully, she was very young but her face was full of weather: "What's your name, are we going to go to the logistics group with you again?" ”
"I don't know how to cook." Drew waved his hand, "The most important thing that humans should forget is this skill, a waste of time." ”
The girl turned around and pushed the car forward, and the destination was already smoky: "Team leader Lina is already very impatient." ”
Another woman? Jiang Yilang dragged Drew, and the lives of the two in the transition corridor continued slowly.
Underneath the smoke is an open slaughterhouse with lots of rice and meat, the hope of humanity throughout the Transition Corridor.
A woman with a broad skeleton stood in front of the tender lamb with two kitchen knives at her waist, and she yelled at the girl, "Missy, what are you rubbing, bring those two fools here." ”
Missy looked aggrieved, turned his head to Jiang Yilang and vented: "Didn't you two eat enough, so slow!" ”
Drew came casually: "Can you eat enough porridge every day?" ”
"Get out of here!" Team leader Lina swung out a knife and cut off a leg of mutton, "Do you know what the logistics team does?" ”
"Cooking." Drew really didn't have enough to eat in the morning, "Isn't that right, team leader!" ”
Lina is a rough and cool woman, and when she heard his words, she backhanded the kitchen knife in front of Drew: "You two look at the sky!" ”
Jiang Yilang raised his head, and at this time, another suspended armor sailed out of the wall of creation: "Another person has been expelled." ”
"Missy, push your car out of them for them." Lina commanded, kicking Drew away, "You two are tasked with picking up something useful today. ”
"Picking up something?" Drew and Jiang Yilang were at a loss, "Where to pick up things, all the sand is everywhere." ”
"Boom!" As a few people spoke, bright red sparks exploded in the sky, and the armor fell into the desert as usual.
Lina tilted her head and said in that direction: "Isn't there something here, your mission for today has appeared." ”
"But it's so far away, how are we going to get there?" Drew is very good at quibbling.
Missy came out pushing a cart that resembled a sled, but modified to be more suitable for sand driving: "Turn the back box full, or you won't come back." ”
"Is this electricity?" Jiang Yilang is very glad that he can still see tools full of science and technology in the desert, "Is there still energy in the desert?" ”
"Of course!" Missy was unshrug to the reaction.
