"How much longer?"

"At most, a month."

When the news came back, Cazorla, who was at the heart of the warehouse, was at a loss.

He, or rather she, could be it, or even they, was in a desperate situation.

Originally, he was just an ordinary middle-level backbone here, but one day after inexplicably performing a self-split, the energy fluctuations in his body strangely rose a level.

"Ah, epic! The legend of gold coughs, the alienation of the royal family. ”

Within the ethnic community, there were immediately people who recognized this variation.

At that time, the whole tribe was plunged into a carnival that lasted three days and four nights. The reason why the carnival only ended here for a few days was not because they calmed down, but because on the third day, a disaster that fell from the beginning swept the world.

It was the most desperate of natural disasters, the natural enemies of the Lucca. For the other party, the Luccas on the entire planet are just delicious canned rations, a delicacy that crosses the star field to take a bite of.

However, it was a coincidence.

"Sure enough, I brought it all in."

At this moment, Cazorla faltered.

Even if he relied on his natural ability to avoid the tracking of natural enemies and fled to this theoretically safe area with some of his clansmen, he still followed him by less than 3% of the total population of this planet.

What happened to most of them? I'm afraid I don't have to think about it anymore, there are several times, dozens of times more energy devouring demon sunflowers than before, maybe it's the answer.

"Your Royal Highness, please eat more."

"Your Royal Highness, what else do you want?"

"Your Royal Highness, maybe we can try to pull it and let you break through with someone."

And they have all reached a desperate situation, but the other tribesmen not only did not resent themselves, but served them with joy and expectation.

They have no anxiety, no pain, only joy, as if there is no distress at this moment, as if they are still in the sky of carnival at this time.

Cazorla realized.

"As long as they have a chance to live, I'm afraid they will sacrifice everything."

At this moment, Cazorla was a little inexplicably afraid and uneasy.

He knew that this was the culture of his own race, and even the underlying logic engraved into the gene module, and he still felt uncomfortable. And what made him feel even more uncomfortable was that he realized that he felt "discomfort" itself through logical thinking!

"Sure enough, I can't be considered a Lucca anymore?"

In normal life, survival is often the first priority, and the continuation of future generations is no longer considered.

The reason why sacrificing one's life for righteousness is admired is that it actually violates the survival nature and normal logic of life, and is a symbol of intelligent beings rebelling against nature for the sake of human nature

"There is always something that will make you feel more precious than your own life, but this kind of behavior that everyone thinks that I am more important than their lives, and is even willing to help me fight for one more second of life and sacrifice in vain, is too abnormal."

Cazorla completed the mutation and broke through the limitations of the Lucca's genetic mods before discovering the abnormality of his own race.

They are not sacrificing their lives after thinking, but the basic instinct that "normal life needs to maintain breathing", which is a kind of supreme instruction that does not speak of logic or reason.

"It's wrong, it's very wrong"

Cazorla was like the only awake person trapped in a collective nightmare, defended by others, and he didn't feel excitement or happiness, he only felt fear.

He knew that even if he wanted them to die in vain, they would not hesitate to carry out an order.

I didn't think there was anything wrong with it before, but now our life form is really not a puppet and a toy designed by the superiors?"

However, after the initial fear and doubt, he could only reluctantly accept the reality that he had to take his people with him to avoid the natural disaster that fell from the beginning.

"Is it only enough for a month?"

Such a reality made him even more shaken.

Lucca, even if they are energy beings, they are still living beings, they also have consumption, they can indirectly absorb "metal energy" through the attached metal body, but at the same time, they can also directly absorb the energy state of the same kind.

Yes, they are a kind of life that can be cannibalistic when necessary. In other words, the weak continue to survive in another form in the body of the strong of the same kind.

This month-long countdown is the point in time when they start their "last resort" after they have consumed all their supplies.

And before that, will reinforcements come in time?

"It's impossible, even if the information gets out, the nearest forward base will take three months away, and if you're lucky, some traveling merchants and lone wanderers may receive the information, but when they come, they will give Mo Kui a meal."

Cazorla had already made up his mind that if he really couldn't change it after a month, I'm afraid, he would end his life early.

As an intelligent being with "knowledge" and "morality", he feels that some bottom lines are probably more difficult to accept than death. And judging from the current situation, as long as he is alive, his people will force him to "eat".

"Boom!"

At this time, a sudden earthquake shook the entire underground palace.

"We've been discovered!"

"It's the Energy Eater!"

"Zone D, it broke through the passage of Zone D! It's in! ”

Suddenly, screams of despair echoed in the air.

All Luccas knew that by the time the last fortress was discovered, they had no chance of life.

It's just that, at this moment, everyone is still standing in front of Cazorla. Even if they knew rationally that it was pointless, they still wanted to keep Cazorla alive to the end.

They waited for their end with a calm face, the grumbling words that were really dead and alive in the past were gone, the recognition of dignity and technology by the engineer race was gone, and they only felt that it was the highest honor in itself to be able to die for their "royal family" here.

The original desire to survive as intelligent creatures is gone, and there is only the joy and glory of calmly dying, and this moment is their most glorious moment.

This scene did not make Cazorla feel warm, but made him feel cold.

What kind of creatures are we, and why do we have this logic of mechanical rules, written into the lowest level of biological instincts, what robs them of their ego. So, what exactly am I as a royal family? A special kind of guinea pig"

"Boom!"

When the wall suddenly shattered, it also meant that he had no time to continue thinking.

An ultra-small Energy Eater sunflower emerges from the wall. Even if it is just this one, everyone combined is powerless to resist, and what is even more frightening is that if this creature is discovered by one, it means that the army is often not far away.

"Meow! Finally found Meow! ”

But at this time, a strange voice suddenly sounded.

The terrifying Energy Eater Aoi grew his mouth, and an ordinary humanoid creature walked out, his expression? Is it smiling? Or is it mocking?

Inexplicably, Cazorla felt that it should be the latter, he seemed to have seen through everything and perceived the pathetic nature of our life.

"Mercenaries. Lu Ping'an, a mercenary of the Earth Civilization Eastern Rebirth Chamber of Commerce, salutes you, and choosing our company to carry out the aid plan is the greatest wisdom for you and your people. ”
