Chapter 381: Towards Despair

The camera returns to the final balance.

I don't know how many days and moons I have been trapped here, and Zhong Heng dipped the black charcoal ash with a wooden stick, and drew another horizontal line on the stone slab on the side. Looking at the word "Zheng", which had almost filled the entire stone slab, he counted it roughly, and got the answer:

933.

It's been more than two and a half years since I was trapped in this alien dimension, and the days are naturally getting harder and harder:

Electronic products are basically damaged because of their service life, or because of the completely irregular electromagnetic pulse storm at the time of the outbreak;

a spare small hydrogen fusion battery, which had stored enough power to run out of power a year ago, ran out of power;

And food and water, although because of the means of the people, plus dry bones, dead wood and other raw materials are still sufficient, by planting potatoes and mushroom blankets, as well as some raised crickets, bread worms, or various beetle larvae are still sufficient, but salt and other seasonings have long been gone, and it has been more than a year without taste.

It's dark, there is no hope, the standard of living is regressing and approaching the primitive society, such a day, I'm afraid it's not an exaggeration to describe it as the walking dead, right?

In order not to give up hope because of boredom, Ultimate's balance has taken many countermeasures.

For example, he once again gave full play to the cleverness he had exercised during the sprint in high school, and made all kinds of chess and cards, such as military flag checkers, backgammon, beast chess, chess, flying chess, and even Monopoly, Abyss, and DND, as long as he had played them before and had an impression, all of them.

Even, he also gave full play to people's subjective initiative, and created several original games, such as using his entomological knowledge to make a kind of "insect swarm chess", the gameplay is to eat each other while accumulating troops, whoever kills the opponent's dominant general first, or occupies more than a certain amount of resource points on the chessboard within a certain period of time, wins.

A while ago, I bought it from the Internet and threw it in the particle converter for reading in my spare time, and the world classics also came in handy, what Les Miserables, The Count of Monte Cristo, The Orphan of the Fog, Dream of Red Mansions, La Traviata, The Three Musketeers, The Wealth of Nations, Capital...... A whole bunch, more than 30 books in total.

Regular cheering is naturally necessary, and every time one of them is about to collapse, the remaining three will be put together to comfort and comfort, preach, and encourage to bring them back on track, just using the spirit expressed by the characters in the previous book—these are all spiritual food that can be used to strengthen beliefs and play an important role in motivation.

Like what:

"People have been in prison for 19 years, whipped and re-educated every day, unable to eat enough and not warm to wear, and have carried it down much more than ours, how long have we been? So we'll make it out alive! ”

In addition, learning and exercising ability are still essential.

Since in this world, in addition to those left by the dead evolutionaries, there are also a lot of evolutionary fragments, as well as scattered template fragments and divine source cores, which naturally cannot be wasted, plus the final balance also needs to monitor all aspects of the movement at all times so as not to miss the opportunity to get out, he also laid a web of insect swarms.

Except for the area around the altar, which is extremely dangerous due to periodic lightning storms, the rest of the area is basically covered with tenacious social insects such as paver ants, corn hairy ants, pharaoh ants, and house termites.

Anyway, these collected insects do not consume much food, and termites can still eat dead wood from local materials.

Oh, and there's another way – nagging.

That's the benefit of having company, four people get together, chat, cheer up, and more or less not get bored.

They discuss hot topics (which should be more appropriate to call history discussion now), and they communicate postures...... No, it's knowledge, telling stories - all kinds of things that have been heard or not, whether they are fresh or not, even the little match girl, the ugly duckling, the frog prince and other well-known things are also included, what fairy tales, myths, urban dialects, ghost stories, poems, singing, singing jokes, jokes, their own, other people's, all kinds of movies and animations, and even improvisations and originals like writing.

In short, from top to bottom, from ancient times to the present, from elegant to vulgar, everything is told, even including the secrets that are kept secret in everyone's hearts - anyway, if you can't get out, what's the point of hiding it, it's better to take it out and share it, just take it as a suicide note...... Oh no, have fun, Beau sympathizes.

Condensation Frost and Jiang Allen poured out all the tragic experiences of being private; Because he hasn't experienced any ups and downs, he has great joys and sorrows, just some about Chen sesame seeds, what kind of kindergarten because he opened the pants of his female classmates and threw air cloth armor inside, bugs, cockroaches and other insects were invited to parents, or went back to the countryside to throw firecrackers into the dry toilet manure pit and was blown up.

Natasha told her story.

She was born in 19th-century Russia, the family was a serf, her parents did not survive when she was fifteen years old because of the lack of food that winter, and she was also asked by the landlord to pay off the debt, killed the master and fled. In the process of escaping, she was selected by a certain divine source core and turned into an evolutionary, using her superpowers to destroy all the pursuers, and then returning to her hometown to take revenge and killing all the more than 20 members of the master's family, which attracted the attention of the Tianping Organization and was recruited to join it.

There, she had a new beginning, and she changed to a name that symbolized a new life - Ice Ridge.

After that, she experienced all the major events of the Balance Organization for more than a hundred years, witnessed its strength, experienced its civil war, and finally, witnessed its decline, until she finally left - she left the Balance Organization, which was forced, because of her background, she was beaten as an "identity faction" in the civil war and was hunted down by the conquerors, and finally had to run away in order to survive, serving humanity in exchange for survival.

There are many, many such evolutionaries, some like her who chose cultural identity to return to the mother country that I don't know if I can still be called a "motherland" to serve the human government, some are disheartened and choose to live in seclusion, and some have made such a choice - now, Zhongheng finally knows how this small organization under the balance of "Evolutionary Mutual Aid Association" and "Evolutionary Association" came about.

It's all made up of evolutionaries who broke away from the organization during the civil war.

Although many of them were "rehabilitated" after the war, many people were afraid to go back to "once bitten by a snake and afraid of the well rope for ten years", and some of them were like Natasha who served humanity for the sake of life, which is equivalent to having a "black history", violating the rules and being removed from the organization, and not going back - even if it was just to survive.

Some of them have some prestige, and may have some connection with the balance, and the two sides have simply chosen a compromise method - that is, to set up these organizations under the banner of the balance, and the relationship between the two sides is similar to that between the suzerainty and the vassal state, or the son of heaven and the princes.

For example, the Huaxia Evolutionary Mutual Aid Association mentioned earlier was founded by Condensation Frost's father, Frozen Front, the evolutionary.

There is also the most extreme one, and the speculation of the final balance is confirmed, that the evolutionaries who are rampant all over the world that Condensation Frost mentioned before are basically born out of the escape caused by the civil war.

For example, Chen Tianqian in Hong Kong City.

"Don't think too highly of this guy." Natasha said, "I know him...... His name, just like my current one, was changed after it came out, and the previous one was called Resonance Wave......"

She introduced: In the past, when I was in Tianping, he was the boss of my team, because he offended too many people in the civil war, and he ran away after the end of the liquidation and defeating faction......

There are also some secrets worth pondering, and she will not hide them at this time:

"Don't you wonder why I took the initiative to find you in the first place? It's the sane of the Big Three, the deal with me. ”

She said, "He wants me to tell you the news, and to encourage you to go to that place...... Or, at the very least, stay in the city, and if that happens, he'll be able to restore me to my identity.

These were confirmed by the former uniforms and badges displayed from the particle memory, and after showing that the displays had become gray objects meant to fail, Natasha, or rather, Ice Edge, tore them to shreds, and howled in grief:

"Liars, a bunch of liars!"

"The purpose of those guys above, I didn't know at the time, I just did it to go back, but now I understand it all!" She roared angrily, "They are still fighting each other for power and profit, and they must know the result of this mission, so they want to use this competition to eliminate us, the outcasts who have not been liquidated before, and ......

"You fourth-generation evolutionaries who threaten them!"

There is competition between different species, which may eventually lead to the complete extinction of one by the other, such as whether the evolutionary race will replace humans in the next few hundred years, and the same species is naturally not peaceful within itself.

Just like within human beings, are there still fewer kinds of racism, regional discrimination, and cultural discrimination? Racial discrimination in the United States is still very serious.

Even, people are sometimes more cruel to their own kind than to others, let me ask Hitler's concentration camps have been locked up for 100 years now?

The same is true for evolutionaries.

The decline of the Balance Organization, whether there were ungrateful people and other promoters of the civil war, but at least it is inseparable from the arrogance of those vested interests such as the older generation, especially the high-ranking third-generation ancient god-level evolutionaries.

Like those old aristocrats in the Middle Ages, they looked down on the fourth-generation evolutionaries such as the final balance, and tried every means to suppress them:

Whether the access system or laissez-faire is the same time, this guidance is another time, how many of this kind of mission, which should have been participated by an experienced and equipped head like the Tianping Organization, was replaced by the fourth-generation evolutionaries who should not have rushed into battle, and they were buried here as cannon fodder?

If I had known that this would be the case, I wouldn't have even gone to the city, let alone come to the mission. However, there is no regret medicine in the world, and now the conspiracy behind it has been exposed, but it is only hindsight, so what's the point? The people who are trapped here waiting to die and suffer, what else can they do except scold their mother?

Instead of sulking by insulting, it is better to be quiet and make your mood better.

There are many, many measures taken to give hope to people, but as the saying goes, time dilutes everything, and they still serve only a momentary need:

The game is monotonous, and I get tired of playing it quickly, and even if I use the collected evolution fragments and template fragments as an addition to gambling, I can't arouse my interest;

After reading the book and learning the knowledge, it is like a stream in the memory of several people - the strong learning ability brought by high attributes also has drawbacks, that is, the fun generated by learning will be lost with the speed of learning;

As for chattering, it's no longer interesting to talk too much, and if we get together again now, it's often four people looking at each other, and no one can say a word, until one of them says, "Since it's okay, let's disperse."

Under the suppression, many things of modern civilization, such as etiquette, righteousness and shame, gradually degraded with the damage or lack of power of those objects in this area. "Because what has happened in the past few months is so disgusting" has finally happened.
