1: The end of "no one".
In many civilizations that have not broken through the gravitational circle of their home planet, science fiction writers often think about a problem.
That is, when one's own civilization has not yet developed to the point of swimming in the sea of stars...... Or travel to other areas, in short, before you can exist outside of the home planet.
What should I do if the mother planet that gave birth to my own civilization runs out of oil and the lamp runs out.
A civilization that has lost its nourishment, but is incapable of getting out of its infancy, can only wait for its demise in the face of such a situation...... And it's a cruel way to die a slow struggle.
This idea was born out of a sense of crisis in the instinct of a species struggling to the top of the food chain and witnessing countless species become the imprint of the dead bones under their feet.
Therefore, following the science fiction writers, sociologists have also begun to think about this problem, and then derived the ideas of environmental protection and sustainable development.
Everything is for the sake of one's own civilization before it has the ability to leave its swaddling clothes, so as not to spoil the swaddling clothes first.
And for a civilization that has already been plagued, only sociologists are left to think about it, science fiction writers...... If they hadn't starved to death, they began to fantasize about how to break free from this slow death.
In the radiation world from which Mi Rin and Mino were born, the first planet controlled by the Human Revolution Federation, something similar happened.
However, the radiation world is not a real sense of oil exhaustion, but resource gathering technology cannot keep up with the development of civilization.
There are still many fossil resources in the depths of the bottomless ocean and in the continental shelf, but the resource collection technology that radiates the world cannot collect them, so they can only be treated as non-existent.
This embarrassment directly caused the collapse of civilization, and then began to drop nuclear bombs on each other as a sign of friendship.
After the end of this group of human civilizations that are in trouble and have no decision about the nuclear level of the world, the earth that radiates the world can still give birth to new life.
But this Earth, which is also located on the third planet of the Milky Way Orion Spiral Arm Solar System, is completely dead.
And even something as mysterious as the will of the planet is dead.
The species that was conceived by this planet and created a brilliant civilization, because when the planet died, it was not to the extent of breaking free from its infancy, and could only helplessly live in this uncomfortable cradle.
Relying on synthetic food, recycled water, and artificial air, I struggle to live one more day before the final death comes.
In addition to the extreme scarcity of resources and the harsh environment, there are also piles of species that regard themselves as mortal enemies...... Most of them are creations of this civilization in its own glory, and it is not because of some betrayal or anything else that they will bite back.
Simply because everyone wants to live...... All want to live one more day.
Because of limited resources, it has become very difficult to obtain materials to survive.
It's okay for people with fighting qualities, hunting to get resources is never an outdated behavior.
But for people who do not have the fighting qualities, life is a very difficult thing.
Ruin gatherers became a way for many people who did not have the fighting qualities to make a living...... The glory of civilization has become a thing of the past, but there are still many good things in the glorious ruins.
Even if most of the valuable things collected from the ruins would be taken by fellow combatants, the rest would be enough to keep people alive.
No one has said anything about this seemingly unfair situation.
Without the protection of warriors, it is difficult for ordinary people to survive some of the highly combat-ready Yalis.
And the Yali species that will be entrenched in the ruins of the old civilization are rarely weak in combat.
In the face of these Alias, even if the combatants can ensure repulsion, they will not be able to avoid the loss of members.
It is normal for a ruin collection team to lose more than half of its time.
If you encounter an Arria that the combatants can't fight, it's up to fate how much she can survive.
For example, in the case of the combatants encountered by this exploration team who were wiped out as soon as they came into contact with the Arricorn, the rest of the people might really need a miracle if they wanted to survive.
Not to mention that the Afrix they encountered was once known as the Vampire Death Apostle.
In the past, these vampires had been fed to humans before they were transformed into Acrylic by the Aether.
After being transformed into an Aether Dead Apostle, the most to do is add a new Aether to the recipe...... Pure humans have long been a legendary thing, and although the current humans still look like humans and still regard themselves as humans, they are actually just subspecies humans who have also been modified by the ether, and they are also counted among the Afrites.
Because the Dead Apostles also lived through the glorious times that once belonged to human civilization.
They have more hobbies than other Alexis who do things more simply...... Such as teasing of prey.
After taking out all the targets that might pose a threat to them as quickly as possible, the foraging Dead Apostles began teasing the remaining non-threatening targets.
The unhurried pursuit can keep these targets in a constant flight of hope and despair.
Many Dead Apostles felt that this was the best way to prepare before eating, and although some Dead Apostles did not agree with this statement, tradition is tradition.
The Dead Apostles, who have more of a past than other Alics, always use tradition to distinguish themselves from other Alics.
Just as the world has not yet perished, and human civilization is still in its glory days, the Dead Apostles, these bloodsuckers, think themselves superior.
The current Apostles of the Dead Apostles still see themselves as something higher and higher.
Even if only they feel so.
As for what the teased chaser thinks, is it necessary to care about the thoughts of the ants......
Regarded as one of the ants, Lindenwan ran wildly among the wreckage of high-rise buildings in the abandoned city, although the erosion of the aether did not make Lindenwan a knight, not even a qualified warrior, but in terms of physical strength, it was much better than a pure human.
At least pure human beings can't throw a hundred meters or more than a few seconds in the ruins of an abandoned city, let alone jump more than ten meters high and dozens of meters away at once.
In fact, it was thanks to his athleticism, which stood out even among non-combatants, that Linden was fortunate enough to join the search team...... Now it seems that it should be unfortunate to join.
It's a pity that Lin Dengwan doesn't think that he can survive, although his motor nerves are strong, they are far worse than real warriors, not to mention that those fighters are assisted by various high-tech aether equipment.
Even so, the heavily armed warriors were slaughtered in a matter of minutes without resistance in the face of the Dead Apostles.
A few minutes was certainly not enough time for Linden to flee to the nearest outpost, and he only hoped that he could find someone to trust him with before he was chased by the dead apostles.
But it takes a miracle to back it up...... On the run, Lin Dengwan didn't know if he really wanted to do this, or if he was just trying to find a reason to storm the forbidden area in the center of the city.
"Bang" seems to be a wooden gate that was knocked open by Lin Dengwan, and it is rare for such a rustic gate to appear in a city that can be seen from the ruins and broken walls.
If Lin Dengwan dismantled this solid wood gate and moved it back, he might be able to exchange it for many days of rations.
Thinking about rations, Lin Dengwan immediately felt hungry, better motor nerves and faster speed, and what he needed was faster nutrient intake.
Putting the last piece of energy ration in his pocket into his mouth and forcibly chewing it, Lin Dengwan imagined that he was eating synthetic beef, and that it was the kind of scorched synthetic beef...... Then Linden Wan smelled what appeared to be roasted meat.
“??” What the hell, someone is really barbecuing?
