Chapter 523: Sent to Death
When I walked out of the house, the whole Haven territory seemed to have a different look, the light bulbs that had been dimmed due to energy saving became bright, there were streamers hanging everywhere, and there were precious balloons, the reason why it was precious was that the artificial rubber was already very difficult.
The children were running happily through the streets with wooden bells in their hands, and the hard-working men were carrying the shells that had been dismantled from the earth dragons, waving as they passed by Kun and Joan of Arc.
The children like to gather around them, and Joan of Arc reveals the secret that they have lollipops, and naturally becomes the children's favorite hero.
Kun is called a god here, and he feels that he is an invincible god, and he shows a power that no one here has ever seen.
In the haven, Kun learns a lot of knowledge that he would not have known before, how to use yeast to make dough, how to make wine with bacteria, and how to domesticate poultry to get supplies from meat.
Life and life should respect each other, respect the old and love the young, and as a life form in the prime of life, it is necessary to include sacrifice, protect the younger generations, and obey the elders. The elders use their experience to help the middle-aged individuals avoid making mistakes, and the middle-aged individuals set an example for the younger ones and solve the problems of food and survival, like a perfect pyramid structure.
Warriors are encouraged but opposed by the entire community, with Warriors saying that they can work closely with their companions to complete tasks, while Heroes, which means risk-taking, individual heroism, and may well lead to the demise of all members.
Kun is not at all reluctant to fit into such an environment, he learns to cook in the kitchen, to see a doctor in the pharmacy, to feed the pigs in the farm, and every new greeting can teach him a new skill.
Although these things could not affect his life, they made him more aware of human civilization and why he could continue to rule the world after so many epochs of rise and disillusionment.
After watching a lot and learning a lot, Kun began to have a terrible idea, that is, if the end of the world made the world go to zero, start over...... At the time of the resurgence of species, human beings have once again become the masters of the world?
Thinking of this, even Kun himself was a little afraid, and he recovered from Qiu Ba's call.
"Kun-sama, Joan of Arc, why don't you take a break?" Qiu Ba stepped forward with a smile on his face, just now he went to arrange for the mechanic in the territory to repair the jeep, the situation is not serious, but it needs to fill the fuel tank, which will further strain the energy in the territory.
The territory could not afford to buy an ion generator or a nuclear battery engine, and it had always used an industrial-grade diesel generator to provide electricity to the entire territory, and in this era, the price of buying gasoline and diesel had doubled to the level of buying cultural relics.
No way, every month the natives of the haven have to go to some abandoned oil fields, rummage through the boxes and cabinets to find some residues, and refine them to meet some of the needs of the territory, and the rest is obtained by walking profiteers.
Recently, the profiteers who have walked are gone, and Qiu Ba loves and hates them at the same time, and they are destined to be slaughtered when they come, but if they don't come, the fertility problems of the entire territory will be affected.
"I've rested enough, Leader Qiuba, I wondered all the way here, the entire territory doesn't seem to have any modern equipment such as communication equipment and televisions? The only modern appliance you're using is an electric light, right? Joan of Arc was also curious.
"To tell you the truth, you have also seen the situation in the territory, we banned the entry of electronic devices for the purpose of saving energy, and the other is for the sake of children." Qiu Ba said embarrassedly.
"Kid?" Kun was puzzled.
"Yes adults, we need to teach children how to survive in the most dangerous environments, but technology, as well as the information in it, will only make them degenerate to find shortcuts and even escape from danger." Qiu Ba said.
"Is there anything wrong with running away from danger? Joan of Arc wondered.
"There's nothing wrong with that, and I'd be willing if there's a place to escape. But now the world is so filthy that there is no pure land, no time, and no place for our children and grandchildren to escape. They must learn to face the fact that they can survive in the wilderness without the support of modern technology, and only in this way can they continue. Qiu Ba said sonorously.
"Is this what you're asking for?" Kun asked again.
"No, it's our ancestors, they have seen too many strong people fall, so I hope that our descendants can have the strongest hearts, instead of mastering weapons that can destroy the world." Qiu Ba said piously.
"You have very good ancestors, and you should be proud." Kun patted Qiu Ba on the shoulder and walked to the main square.
At this moment, many old people are building a coming-of-age stage, and the grandmothers use ancient paints to paint patterns on the faces of those adult children, who do not look very good, the children are very healthy, the young people are very strong, but most of the old people are skinny, with yellow faces and thin muscles.
This is the safe haven way of resource rationing, where children receive enough nutrition and food, and young people maintain their strength, do heavy work, exercise, and learn to fight. The old man is responsible for the logistics of life in the territory, taking care of the children, and educating the younger generations, but he only takes the least resources and can only eat 2 meals a day.
It is not the abuse of the elderly, but the way of rationing decided for survival, and it is these old people who formulate this way, no one shows unwillingness, and some of the old people only eat one meal.
"Humans are really cruel creatures, not only cruel to other species, but also to themselves."
Kun admires that human beings have completely defeated the instinct of living beings, and you must know that in the biological world, it is impossible for all life to take the initiative to give up their own living space to maintain the living space of future generations.
After all the dinner was prepared, under the loud drums, all the people crowded into the main square, singing and dancing Haven people performed the most traditional indigenous dance, woohaha, woohaha, and the worship of ancient masks, performing the traditional culture of the aborigines.
Some people say that dances, songs, movies, and even civilizations are meaningless inheritances that cannot give future generations any support for survival.
But these seemingly useless inheritances have outlined an atmosphere called culture, which is faith, the essential difference between humans and animals, so that humans can know at all times to remain civilized.
Kun was very fond of this kind of performance, sitting in the chief seat watching the children dance and sing, and watching the adult children cut their palms with the slightest fear and smear the blood on the indigenous totems, indicating that they had become adults and could protect their younger compatriots.
Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, those so-called adults or children, forcing such a small individual to go to the wilderness to survive and hunt is like sending them to death.
But in this chaotic era, rapid growth is a necessary choice, and only by being alone faster can we become the pillar of this world.
On this night, the party was hosted late, and Kun also tasted for the first time other than Joan of Arc's craftsmanship, as well as his own brewed herb wine, with a hint of sweet liquid, which made Kun sleep particularly sweet.
The next morning, around 5 o'clock, fog broke out in the mountainous area where the shelter was located, and the condensation collector on the roof turned the fog into clear water.
Suddenly, there was a brass bell outside the window, and Kun opened his eyes as if awakened, and when he stepped out of the house, he found that Joan of Arc was standing there. It turned out that in front of him was a group of old people, about 30 people who were slowly walking towards the drawbridge gate.
"Where are they going?" Looking at these old men, Kun was puzzled.
"Wilderness." Joan of Arc said softly.
"No weapons, no supplies? What are you going to do? Kun was even more confused.
"Send to death." Joan of Arc lowered her forehead, "Because they are too old, the haven no longer has enough resources to support so many people, and the elderly, those who have lost their mobility, can only choose to leave and give future generations room to live." ”
"Why be so cruel?" Kun's Heart...... I touch.
"This is survival, man, without the powerful power of God, without the fangs and claws of foreign beasts, but also to use various methods to try to feed their offspring, such human beings, should also perish? We just want to live. ”
Joan of Arc's eyes...... Full of tears.
