"Where they really fail is that living corpses don't have the ability to evolve. From the moment the corpses are transformed, their hierarchy has been set, what they were at the beginning, and what they were in the end. A corpse is also a corpse for a lifetime, and it is the same if it does not turn into bones, it will never be possible to climb to a higher realm, it is for this reason that although at the beginning of each disaster, the living corpse can form an advantage over humans and even alien beasts, but this advantage will not last long at all, and it will be suppressed. ”

Lin Xi immediately keenly grasped his words and was shocked, "Every disaster? Are you saying that such a catastrophe has happened more than once in history? ”

"Of course." Zhu Shiqiu took out a cigarette and took a puff before he replied lightly, "Otherwise, do you think that from the ambushed corpse to the walking corpse to the wandering corpse, as well as the higher-level immortal bones and flying yakshas, how did such a grading system come about, of course, because it originally appeared in history." Oh, by the way, there are also vampires in Europe, those ghosts are actually the remnants of living corpses that were not wiped out in the last era, and similar existences are werewolves, but they are the descendants of high-level alien beasts, let us talk about this later, there are too many things, and I can't explain it at once......"

"Last era? So what? ”

Lin Xi's eyes widened, and his face was full of incredulity.

The rest of the people also looked dumbfounded.

At this moment, listening to the old man's mouth constantly saying something like a book from heaven, they really have the absurd and funny feeling of returning to the pre-cataclysm and landing at the starting point to read the novel.

"Don't look at me like a fool."

Zhu Shiqiu frowned dissatisfied, "What is the era, you have all heard of the Mayan doomsday, right?" ”

"Of course." Lin Xi instinctively replied, "The Mayans believed that the world was one solar age after another, and 2012 was the end of the Fifth Age, which was also the original origin of the apocalyptic theory...... Damn it! Don't you want to say that every solar age is an era you are talking about? ”

"Basically correct."

Zhu Shiqiu nodded, and said, "Oh, by the way, I forgot to say it just now, children, the Sixth Age welcomes you!" ”

Lin Xi shuddered, "This joke is so cold." ”

"Really?" The old man replied indifferently, "Then it seems that I have no talent for telling jokes. ”

"You don't have ......"

"But......" Wu Qiuli suddenly interjected, "there was no disaster in 2012." ”

"There will certainly be no disaster in 2012." The old man shrugged indifferently, "That's just a rumor......"

"That ......"

"You want to ask why there is another catastrophe now, don't you?"

Zhu Shiqiu saw through the question in the girl's heart at a glance, and an extremely cruel smile appeared on her face, "Because every disaster...... It happened at the beginning of the era! ”

Rumble!

The girl's face turned pale.

Then, before she could come to her senses, she saw Zhu Shiqiu take two steps abruptly, raised his arms high, and said in a grand tone like chanting epic, "The last era, which began 12,000 years ago, according to the documents we have secretly excavated over the years, there were similar disasters at that time and now, strange beasts are everywhere, and living corpses are resurrected, this is the barbaric period that you all know, at that time, there was only one and only civilization for human beings, and that was the great Atlantis that originated on the Great Western Continent!" ”

Atlantis!

Lin Xi was shocked.

This name is well-known and familiar in various fantasy works, but I didn't expect it to be a great civilization that really existed!

Seeing his performance, the old man showed a satisfied smile on his face, "It seems that you have heard of this name, yes, this name is actually deliberately leaked by us through various games, novels, and film and television works. ”

Lin Xi's face changed when he heard this.

Then, as if he had figured out something, his eyes suddenly turned blood-red!

He jumped up, grabbed the old man by the collar, and roared hoarsely, "So, you already knew this was going to happen, didn't you?" ”

"Ahem—"

Poor Zhu Shiqiu was dying of old age, where could he withstand Lin Xi's anger, and he was immediately pinched and coughed.

Seeing that he was about to be strangled to death by Lin Xi on the spot, but at this moment, a soft wattle had already reached over from the side and slapped Lin Xi's palm away.

"Let him continue."

Wu Qiuli's voice rang out.

The girl's face was also as heavy as water at this moment, and even Xia Qianzhu and the others were all angry.

It can be said that their families were ruined because of this disaster, and now they suddenly heard that the original government had long known the news that the disaster was about to happen, and they could still hold back the anger in their hearts.

"Just because you know it doesn't mean you can stop it."

The old man stroked the neck that was strangled by Lin Xi with a red mark, but there was no anger in his eyes, but full of sympathy and pity.

He gasped a few times and said softly, "All dynasties, all the imperial courts and governments, no matter how the regime changes, but they all have a clear understanding of the coming of the end, but unfortunately, China's history from the Xia Dynasty to the present, close to four thousand years, generations of sages and sages have been working hard, but they have not found any way to completely solve the disaster......

His voice suddenly turned sad and angry, and he pointed out the door and shouted, "Do you think we don't want to stop this catastrophe? This is also our living home, everyone who lives here, and the poor people outside who have become living corpses, they are also our compatriots! What do you think I've been unmarried and childless for so many years? What do you think so many people are working hard day and night for? 4,000 years...... Do you know how many generations this is? Do you know how many people have sacrificed their lives of happiness and even their precious lives to stop this catastrophe? ”

The next second, he hugged his head in frustration, and cried hysterically while pounding, "But we can't do it!" Can't do it! Can't do it! Do you know how painful it is to be powerless in our hearts?! Do you understand the psychological pressure that we walk down the street every day, looking at our living compatriots, thinking that they might die in the next second, and we can't do anything? Why don't we say it? Why didn't I tell you...... How should we tell? Tell you that you are about to die...... Am I unable to do anything? ”

“……”

Looking at the grief-stricken old man, Lin Xi was silent, Wu Qiuli was silent, and everyone was silent.

At this moment, they really felt a sense of awe.

It is true that, as the old man said, since there is no solution to it, then concealing it is the best way to deal with it, at least to prevent more people from disrupting the social order because of despair and causing greater casualties, and like the old man, generation after generation of lonely warriors who carry the pressure alone, are the real heroes, they have sacrificed their lives for the future of mankind, and what they have endured and what they have lost is far more than Lin Xi and them.

Family, friends, happiness, these things are now destroyed, but they at least once had; And defenders like Zhu Shiqiu, these heroes in the dark, they have lost the opportunity to have these things from the moment they know the truth!

In order to protect the happiness of more people, they themselves have never been happy!
