Chapter 522: A Safe Haven for Humanity
The haven originated 500 years ago, when the first wooden stake was laid by an expelled indigenous elder. The old people have rich experience in wilderness survival, carefully choose a place to survive, and start building.
Because the Australian continent is so big, small villages like this that suddenly appeared were not taken seriously at that time, and those in power had no time to care about their life or death.
I thought that this handful of primitive people would be the bronze that hung up in the first wave, but who knew that they would be kings.
The territory has been attacked no less than 300 times by various alien beasts, individually or in groups, but all of them have survived strongly. To live is a kind of belief, and it is also the tenacity of life.
But today's safe haven is ...... Terminally ill.
Due to the population explosion, the land that could only afford the survival of 10,000 people is now crowded into 20,000 people, and the self-grown fruits and vegetables cannot be eaten by themselves, and some of them need to be exchanged for basic daily necessities such as medicine and fuel with the wandering merchants.
Therefore, life needs to rely more on the strong labor of the territory to go out to collect resources, or hunt back to subsidize.
This is a very dangerous act, because in addition to the lack of medicine, people also lack weapons, using bows, spears and steel knives left over from their ancestors.
They really can't be called hunters, because more than 70% of the wild beasts can easily kill them, and they are more like a group of prey, struggling to go out and forage for food and come home.
Fortunately, the natives have a strong ability to survive the environment, not only familiar with this wilderness, but also familiar with the vegetation here, over the years, the mutated creatures have been mutated, and the mutated creatures have been eaten, the natives not only know what kind of prey to hunt, but also can dig out some herbs from thousands of vegetation that can be used as antibiotics and ointments to make up for the lack of medicine in the territory.
Here, many ancient cultures that have been abandoned in human history have been passed on, such as acupuncture, scraping, aromatherapy, Pilates osteopathy, and various ancient cultures.
In the camp, everyone is dressed in as simple and primitive clothing as possible, a third of the ground is paved with cement, and a huge shadow net is drawn above the camp to prevent the lights or the sounds of people's life from spreading too far and attracting dangerous birds or insects.
The whole city is relatively peaceful and quiet, and only when the leader returns, everyone will be eager to crowd to the city gate to line up to welcome him.
1. They are grateful for the return of the adventures of the leaders and warriors, and 2 they also hope to share more resources.
It's just that the recent trips have disappointed everyone, not only are there fewer and fewer things that can be collected, but the time for the exploration team to go out is getting longer and farther, and the completion of the return is also more sad.
Sometimes, a team of 10 people goes out and only 3 people come back, which is very thankful.
But this time it was different, Qiu Ba brought back a large number of cans and medicines, as well as a 30-meter-long earth dragon. Such a behemoth, enough for the entire territory to eat for 3 days, don't look at the soil dragon is an insect, the shell is also extremely hard, but the internal muscles are very developed, and the protein content is very high, it is a very good food for nutritional supplements.
And the earth dragon is also an important medicinal material in some traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions, which can be used to make many medicines, the mucus on the skin of the earth dragon is very corrosive, but it is a very good material for making weapons, plus their sturdy shell can be used to make armor, as well as weapons, it is simply perfect.
As for the blood of the earth dragon smeared on the guardrail, it will have a more powerful deterrent effect on the wild beasts, after all, this is marked as the burial place of the king of the wilderness, and most of the wild beasts with eyes will not dare to come.
Kun and Joan of Arc were treated as VIPs, and the villagers welcomed them with singing and dancing, and even arranged for them a room that belonged to Qiu Ba himself.
The villagers are busy packing up the earth dragon as the main dish of the feast tonight, and the women are responsible for lighting up the houses and streets, and coincidentally, tonight they will hold a coming-of-age ceremony to celebrate the group of children who went out hunting with the adults to return home safely, and after hunting in the wilderness, they have been recognized as adults and warriors who can protect the haven.
The coming-of-age ceremony is the most important holiday in Haven, because it is a sign of the regeneration of the strong and a proof that Haven can continue.
The street outside was so lively, but Kun was washing his body in the room. In this territory, hot water and clean water are the most important resources, and it is also because of the arrival of the VIP that Qiu Ba makes water gush out of the domain sprinkler.
Kun can survive in any environment, even if it is thrown into outer space. But as the essence of a fish, he has not seen water for so many days, and his dry skin is particularly uncomfortable. As a living being, bathing and eating are only used to meet the physiological needs of individuals.
"Save a little, this is someone else's life-saving water." Joan of Arc came to Kun's room at some point and leaned against the door of his bathroom to remind, "You too, a few hundred years old, don't close the door when you take a shower." ”
"I remember my outside door was locked." Kun turned off the faucet and wiped the water on his body with a bath towel, and there was no human shame at all for this kind of honesty.
"But I'll pick the lock, awesome!" Joan of Arc said triumphantly.
"Aren't you going outside to their feast?" Kun went back to his bedroom to change his clothes.
"It's not started yet, it's still 3 hours before dinner time." Joan of Arc has time in her body to never make a mistake, "And I'm more interested in you than they are." ”
"Why do you say that?" The kun also has a towel on top of its head.
"I've never seen you show any emotion towards humanity, no pity, no hatred, no liking or hating, like cold steel." Although Joan of Arc is a robot, she feels that Kun is colder than herself.
"As it should be, as the inevitable guardian of the world, you must have no desires for everything in order to be impartial." Kun said as a matter of course.
"But your mood is biased, if I'm not mistaken, you should like Qiu Ba's group very much." Joan of Arc squinted and smiled.
"I have to admit that I have seen the state of human existence that I can't imagine, they respect the environment, they are sincerely afraid of survival, they use experience to seek space, they don't have the arrogance of the masters of the earth, and they are one with nature." Kun admits that his mood has changed somewhat.
"That's why I said that human beings are not incorrigible, and in desperate situations, there are good people and bad people." Joan of Arc began brainwashing education.
"So who is Zhang Lan?" Kun asked back to the point.
"It's good, it's not good, there is selfishness, there is righteousness, there is hatred, there is affection, and there is a bottom line, it belongs to people who are very much like people, but not like people." Joan of Arc commented.
"Actually, I envy Zhang Lan, he is the same as me is a demigod formed by the influence of the heart core fragments, but he has always been active in the society, intersecting with you and many life forms, forming ripples and full of feelings." Kun sighed softly.
"You can do it too, even from now on." Joan of Arc seems to have found a breakthrough.
"It's too late, I don't have the space and time to form a new understanding of this world, even if it is formed, it can't affect my actions, don't think that I didn't kill Qiu Ba and the others, but I have expectations for the future of mankind. Joan of Arc, you've worked hard, but there are some things you can't change. Kun sighed and stood up.
"Boss, what do you mean, I don't understand." Joan of Arc was pretending to be confused.
"You must have known about the existence of the safe haven for a long time, you know that this is the best place for human kindness, so you deliberately brought me here, I admit, I feel this kindness, and I am very surprised, but surprise does not mean that I can disobey God's will, I can change the inevitability of the world, don't have this kind of behavior that delays my time, I can't fulfill God's will, you, I will also kill." Kun still saw through everything a long time ago.
