Following the footprints, moving cautiously, everyone soon made a discovery.

"Cyanobacteria, it's you? You're still alive! What's wrong with you?" said Aosu when he saw Cyanobacteria, and he could barely believe his eyes.

In his impression, Spirulina is a sturdy and calm middle-aged man, he has a strong will, and he is always vigilant.

But now the blue-green algae has lost a lot of weight, unkempt, and covered with blood. He was like a puppet, sitting in the thick grass, defenseless. When he heard his name called, he slowly turned his head sideways, his face full of trance and sluggishness.

Zidi's heart also sank, and she secretly guessed: "Could it be that he was attacked by some magical beast, causing his soul to suffer heavy damage and become demented?"

The moment the blue-green algae was discovered, everyone was delighted.

They didn't know that cyanobacteria and xanthella were secretly evacuated and could not be saved. In the opinion of Needle Gold and others, it is natural surprise that the cyanobacteria and them are separated in the dust storm, and they can meet with the cyanobacteria here in the oasis.

But this joy is like a gust of wind, and the mental outlook of the spirulina quickly dissipates, replaced by surprise.

"Spirulina, is there anyone else besides you?"

"Where's your brother Huangzao?" asked Needle Gold.

Hearing the name Yellow Algae, Cyanobacteria suddenly trembled, like a golem inspired by the password.

He froze, and then the expression on his face changed violently, as if all his memories had suddenly been restored.

He shouted anxiously, panickedly, and nervously, "My lord, Lord Needle Gold, you are here!! ”

As he spoke, he pounced on the footsteps of the needle gold and hugged the calf of the needle.

He saw Zidi again, as if he had just seen it, and shouted in even more surprise: "And Miss Zidi, great, you are also there." With you, I'll be able to cure my brother!"

"What the hell is going on? Calm down, cyanobacteria. Needle Gold frowned, leaned over and grabbed Cyanobacteria's shoulder, lifting him to his feet.

"Quick, come here!" Cyanobacteria snapped free of the needle's hand and turned to run towards the nearest coconut tree.

He had barely run a few steps before he tripped over the grass and fell to his knees at once.

He was very anxious, using his hands and feet, crawling and running, leading the way.

The situation was very wrong, and they couldn't ask it, so Needle Jin and the others raised their spirits and followed behind Cyanobacteria.

When he got to the coconut tree, the needle gold pupils that were walking in the front shrank slightly, and he saw the yellow algae in the grass.

Huang Zao's clothes were very tattered, most of the flesh and blood were gone, and the white ribs, arm bones, and leg bones were exposed.

He lay motionless on the ground, the remaining half of his flesh and blood rotting and beginning to produce a foul stench.

Huang Zao is dead, and now he is a complete corpse.

But the strange thing is that the body is still bandaged.

The bandages were clearly long strips of cloth made from torn clothes, and were covered with the leaves of a large coconut tree.

"Brother, brother, open your eyes quickly. ”

"Look, Master Needle Gold is here, and Miss Zidi is also here. You're saved, you're saved!"

"You're so lucky, you're in the desert, and you're still meeting two adults, hahaha......"

Cyanobacteria kneel beside the yellow algae and use their arms to support the back of the yellow algae's head, so that the upper body of the yellow algae is erect.

I have to say, this is a terrifying scene.

The xanthophyllum had long since died, his face was pale and broken, and the blood and bones were shocking.

Seeing such a scene, Cang Xu and Zi Di suddenly stopped in place.

"Gross. ”

Zidi was caught off guard, and immediately retched, almost vomiting the acid water in her stomach.

"Yellow algae?" Behind the broken lenses were the wide-eyed eyes of the beard, "He's dead! When did he die, and how?"

Cyanobacteria was stimulated, shook his head frantically, and retorted repeatedly: "No, he's fine, he's not dead!"

"He's alive. ”

"Cangsu, your old eyes are dizzy!

Then, Cyanoza looked at his brother again, and his raised voice suddenly lowered: "Brother, wake up and open your eyes." ”

The yellow algae has long been dead and can no longer die, how can it be possible to open its eyes?

Cyanobacteria stared at the face of the yellow algae up close, and seeing that the latter did not react, he gradually became anxious.

"Brother, brother. ”

"Open your eyes and see, open your eyes and see!"

Spirulina is starting to go crazy.

He stretched out the fingers of his right hand and brushed away the eyelids of the yellow algae, revealing the whites of his eyes.

"Look, look, he opened his eyes. My brother has opened his eyes!" Cyanobacteria cried out in joy.

Zidi and Needle Gold were silent.

Cangsu shook his head and sighed deeply: "Cyanobacteria, you are sober, your brother...... It's dead indeed. ”

"No, he's not dead. He didn't die. You talk nonsense, you talk nonsense!"

Cyanobacteria roared and became hysterical.

He put his ear to the right chest of the xanthae, which was half flesh and half bone, and the heart was gone.

"Listen, he's still in a heartbeat!" Cyanoza suddenly looked surprised.

The crowd was silent.

Seeing everyone's expressions like this, Cyanoza became extremely anxious, and he stretched out his finger again and put it on the lower end of the nose of Yellow Algae.

"Look, he's still breathing!" cried out Cyanobacteria.

The crowd remained silent.

Cyanobacteria yelled at everyone: "He's still alive!!"

The roar was very loud, it was the cry of cyanobacteria with all its might, shaking everyone's eardrums.

The crowd stood in place, like three iron men, motionless.

"He's still alive!!" Cyanoza half-knelt on the ground, his arm holding the body of Yellow Algae, his eyes widened and he roared at the crowd again.

But the roar was only half the volume it had just had.

The blue-green algae eyes were bloodshot, and tears were surging down, quickly drawing two tear streaks on the face.

"He's alive, alive......"

Cyanobacteria cried out in a low voice, as if he was still proving it to everyone, and as if he was calling out to Yellow Algae.

The strong man's straighten upper body slumped down, and he slowly lowered his head, burying his head deep in the broken chest of yellow algae.

The sun has sunk below the horizon, and the last rays of light are gone.

Everything was in the dark.

The cry of cyanobacteria, wafting through the oasis.

He wept and spoke.

"It's me...... It's ...... me."

"I killed him, I killed him. ”

"I killed Huang Zao, I killed my brother, I killed him, I killed the last relatives in the world!"

"Woo woo woo ......"

"These days, I'm eating his flesh and drinking his blood. ”

"I survived, but he died. ”

"I'm a murderer, I'm a murderer. ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, brother. ”

"I'm sorry, Mom...... I didn't take good care of him, I killed him. I'm damned, damned. ”

"Woo woo woo ......"

It is hard to imagine that a strong man would let out such a mournful cry.

The cry is like a ghost floating on the surface of a calm lake.

The starry sky is still shining in the middle of the night.

The temperature in the oasis was much more normal than the outside, not as cold as the desert in the middle of the night.

And there are also bonfires.

The orange flames burned silently, with the occasional crackling sound of crackling wood crackling. Whenever the sound is heard, a small stream of spark flames strings up and then quickly dissipates in the sky above.

There are also wooden shelves on the campfire, and skewers with lizard meat are cooking.

And there are several coconuts next to Needle Gold and the others.

There are many coconut trees in the oasis, and there are about two varieties, one is coconut fruit and the other is date.

Use a knife to cut open the shell of the coconut, and inside is fresh and tasty, but with a distinct sulfur smell of coconut water.

The problem of water is better solved.

It was much better than expected - Needle Gold and the others now have not only lake water, but also juice.

Of course, because it was night, the situation by the lake could not be discovered, so for the sake of insurance, Needle Jin and the others did not rush over to draw water.

Not far away, the blue-green algae was half-kneeling in the grass, staring only at the corpse of the yellow algae. Regardless of the aroma of barbecue, the call of needle gold and others, he did not respond. He was like a puppet, as if he were dead, except that he could breathe.

White Bud lay around the campfire.

His eyes were closed and he remained unconscious.

He still had a fever and was getting hotter.

Clearly, his condition was deteriorating.

Perhaps by the time the next day came, both of them would be corpses.

The firelight shone on the faces of the three of them.

Zidi glanced in the direction of the cyanobacteria, then shifted her gaze to the needle.

The girl took the initiative to break the silence that had been there for a long time: "My lord, this kind of person can't stay. ”

"There are a lot of tooth marks on the body of the yellow algae. ”

"Spirulina eats people, and it's his own brother who eats it. This kind of person is so cruel, how can we stay?"

"I also noticed that the back of the spirulina seemed to have been sprayed with acid, and the wound was already rotting, but it was clearly cared for and bandaged before. This is obviously dried yellow algae, but the damage to his back with cyanobacteria cannot be done to this extent. ”

"Yellow algae helped his brother and carefully bandaged the spirulina. But the blue-green algae killed him and reduced him to food for his own satiety. ”

Needlegold didn't respond, his eyes remained motionless, still staring at the campfire in front of him.

Cangsu spoke at this time: "I have a doubt. Now that the blue-green algae has arrived in the oasis, where there is plenty of food, he also has weapons on him. Even if you can't hunt wild beasts, there are coconut fruits that fall to the ground. ”

Zidi immediately replied, "Obviously, the blue-green algae arrived here after killing the yellow algae." Only by eating the flesh and blood of xanthalgae can the blue-green algae support here. Perhaps it was precisely because of coming to the oasis that the blue-green algae fell into boundless remorse and pain. Because he understood that if he hadn't been in a hurry to kill his brother, he would have been able to come here if he had held out for a little longer. At that time, his brother will not die, and so will the brothers. ”

Cangsu nodded: "Lord Zidi's guess is very reasonable, so Lord Zidi also thinks that it is precisely because of regret and pain that Spirulina has fallen to such a point. In other words, Spirulina is suffering from the goodness, morality, and affection of his heart, is that right?"

Zidi suddenly frowned, and she glared at Cang Xu slightly: "What do you mean? You want to excuse a person who killed his own brother?"

Cang Xu shook his head again and again, "Lord Zidi, you misunderstood what I meant. I don't want to excuse anyone, no matter what kind of person he is, he always killed his own brother with his own hands, he is a murderer!"

Speaking of this, Cangsu looked at the needle again: "I just want to clarify some of the things I know, meager or narrow. ”

Needle Jin became interested, and his face was expressionless: "Cangsu scholar, please be sure to say everything." ”

Cangsu smiled and threw a piece of firewood into the campfire.

"We Terrans are actually very weak. Compared to wild beasts, we have no sharp claws, no hard carapaces, no wings to fly, no gills to breathe in water. ”

And the intelligence that we are proud of is not unique to us. Elves, orcs, demons, angels, goblins, etc., all possess wisdom that is not weaker than us, or even higher than our human race. ”

"Although in today's world, our human race has the strongest overall strength. But as long as we look back at history, we will find that the ancestors of mankind were all at a disadvantage, struggling to survive in danger. The prosperity of the human race has become the first force, and it is only a change in the last few hundred years. ”

"So, long ago, when our human ancestors drank blood and survived in nature, our ancestors discovered an important point: as human beings, we are too weak. Only by helping each other and relying on each other's strength can we have more possibilities for survival. ”

"Gradually, the first pre-Terran tribes were born, then families, then the rudiments of the state, and now we humans have built a powerful empire that rules the entire Terran continent. ”

And in the process, we generate ethics and morality. We advocate the strong because we can survive by relying on the strong. We recognize the nobility brought by the bloodline because an excellent bloodline is more likely to be able to cultivate a strong person. We have a sense of collectivity, we have a sense of personal sacrifice, we have a sense of honor, we despise selfishness, we advocate sharing, and we don't want to be excluded by the collective. This is because the individual is too weak, and it is more conducive to the survival of the individual to be recognized more by others in the collective. ”

However, in fact, self-interest is the first instinct of life. The emergence of ethics and morality is still after self-interest. At its root, ethics and morality are also due to the self-interested instinct of life. ”

"It's like sharing, which is essentially about exchanging conditions that are more conducive to one's own survival. Just as we despise selfishness because we don't want others to be selfish, it won't be conducive to our personal survival. We help others because helping helps us to survive better in the community. Surviving alone will reduce our survival rate and fertility rate, and it will make it more difficult for our bloodline, whether high or low, to pass on. ”

"Enough. Zidi snorted, she stared at the blue beard, her gaze penetrating the bonfire between them, with a wave of anger, "Scholar Cang beard, you mean to say that the reason why Cyanobacteria killed his own brother was because of the instinct to survive. You're not only excusing cyanobacteria, you're also excusing yourself by proposing to eat the white buds before!"

Cangsu didn't stop at Purple Di's interruption, and at this moment, he showed rare toughness.

His gaze kept on Needlegold's face: "After mating, the female spider or praying mantis will eat the male. They don't have the ethics of love. ”

"The sturdy male lion drove out the old lion and became the new leader of the pack. It will do its best to defend its territory and show its might on it. It will send the lioness out to hunt for herd, and it will kill all the offspring of the old lions, the cubs. They will not have the morality of respecting the old and loving the young. ”

"That sounds very harsh, my lord. Greybeard finally sighed, his gaze sincere and sad, "But that's ...... Authentic. ”
