Chapter 40: The Gathering Place
"I'm actually confused." Bing Shijue followed behind the three of them, and his divine thoughts had already swept over their bodies unconsciously, confirming that they indeed only had one ability, "I heard when I was in Yanjiang City, as long as you are a person who leaves the city, you don't want to go back. So why did so many people come to Yanjiang City this time? ”
"Most of the people who couldn't go back to the city back then were incapable." Zhou Zeyu thought for a moment and directly said the answer, "Ordinary people can live in places where the concentration of the Holy Landing Zone is relatively light, but they live very badly and painfully. Where the concentration is deep, it will die directly. ”
"But the ability is different, right?" After listening to Zhou Zeyu's explanation, Bing Shijue nodded thoughtfully.
Divine thoughts began to emanate, and in places they could not see, there were indeed some people with abnormal bodies alive in the cave, supported by a small black pillar in front of them, and the light of the film was dim, like a tent cutting off the surrounding air.
But such a day is by no means an easy day.
"Yes, you'd definitely want to join us in." Wu Long, who didn't see this, began to identify the small path that had been trampled on the ground.
"You don't have to." Lin Yue clasped her hands on her chest, her eyes full of contempt for Bing Shijue.
"Don't be so arbitrary, wait for Bai Bing to read it before you can draw conclusions." Zhou Zeyu was in a good mood, "We are almost here, the gathering place of Shangjiang City." ”
"Gathering ......" Bing Shijue subconsciously wanted to scan the place they were talking about with his divine thoughts, but because he didn't know if there were any protective measures in that place, he had to temporarily restrain himself.
But when he followed Wu Long in front of him, squatted down, and pushed away a few branches that blocked his vision, the scene in front of him completely stunned him.
In Bing Shijue's original imagination, the gathering place was a dilapidated place, and the people in the picnic area had to live in dilapidated houses in the past, and then live like ancient farmers.
However, the world in front of us is not like this, but like the future:
Hundreds of houses are scattered along the edge of the ruins, their roofs slowly moving, absorbing the sun's rays. There are drones patrolling the doorway, and half-human-tall robots are plowing the land.
In the distance, in the ruins, there are large, stout-limbed robots that are being dismantled, moving the original ruins of the city and expanding into a new space.
Above the small gathering place, more than a dozen drones, apparently armed with scanning and attack equipment, are patrolling. They are also equipped with a solar system on top of them.
Bing Shijue also happened to see that several drones fell on the roof of a certain house at random due to lack of power and began to charge.
"Welcome to the Advent district." Zhou Zeyu was very satisfied with the shock on Bing Shijue's face, "So it's not us who coerce and lure, it's that they live here voluntarily." ”
"Only those who have the ability can live here." Lin Yue snorted coldly, "Captain, there are merchants from Shangjiang City this afternoon, and I will sell the cores of these strong acid flowers." ”
"Go, Wu Long, disbanded now." Zhou Zeyu looked at Wu Long, who was no longer tense, "I'll introduce Bai Bing." ”
"I finally don't have to stay up late." Wu Long's original fierce appearance was also too relaxed because he saw those houses, and even yawned, "See you the day after tomorrow, captain." ”
"Do you want me to wait for you to come to your senses?" After waving goodbye to Wu Long, Zhou Zeyu looked at Bing Shijue, whose eyes were rolling, "I also came out of Yanjiang City, and I am your senior." ”
"You defected?"
"No, I followed my parents when I was a child, and when I grew up, I found that I couldn't go back." Zhou Zeyu closed his eyes and passed on the news of the return of his team and the discovery of a new person in his mind, "I live in the Holy Landing District like this." ”
"Feeling...... Something unrealistic and dreamy. Bing Shijue watched as the half-human-tall robot passed through it became moist, apparently watered.
"It wasn't that good before." Zhou Zeyu said, staring at Wu Long, who had returned to his home, and Lin Yue, who was sitting in the middle of the square waiting for the merchant to arrive, "Look at this, you don't want to go back, I'll give you a brief explanation." ”
"Listen up." Bing Shijue nodded, constantly thinking in his mind, if the picnic area was so beautiful, why did he still follow that set of rules of the jungle, and why the young people he cultivated were such brutal characters. And why, but still retain such a comfortable lifestyle.
"The most curious thing about you coming out of the city is why we have such values." Zhou Zeyu watched the drone that landed on the roof take off again and began to patrol, "But if you have studied history, you should know that these situations were not caused by us in the Holy Landing District, but by the people in the city." ”
"At the beginning, there were a large number of people who were infected and sick because of the gas they breathed. Naturally, many capable people have emerged. We've also discovered these robotics technologies. Zhou Zeyu said, "But there are too many sick people, and we can't manage it at all." ”
"In the beginning, we were like the people in the city, and we would try to focus on treating the wounded. Anyway, there are robots to help with chores, what to build a house, what usual farming ......" Speaking of this, Zhou Zeyu smiled bitterly, "But time passes, people who are sick basically can't get better, and our current technology can't do anything." You can only watch people turn into puddles of rotten meat, or their brains grow bigger and bigger day by day, and finally blow up. ”
"There are so many dead bodies that there are almost no places to bury them. After four or five years of this, we gave up on treating ordinary people. Let them fend for themselves. ”
"It was at this time that the differentiation of the capable began, and it took too many resources to treat the sick before, and at that time we didn't have the technology to repair robots, so we all dug up from some ruins in the Holy Landing District and then used them improvised. This leads to the fact that people who are able to live a harder life than the average person. They took on too much. ”
"Subsequently, they decided to form their own country, and the name of the Holy Landing District was born from this time."
"Because of the belief that the law of the jungle is the strong, only those who have the ability can obtain sufficient resources." Zhou Zeyu looked at the verdant rice field in front of him and couldn't help sighing, "Ordinary patients, as well as those of us who have the ability, but not the ability to be strong enough, live on the periphery of the city. And those who get the rating, live in the interior of the city. ”
"Although...... I don't really like this system, but this system really kept us alive. A person who contributes can concentrate more resources, and those of us with average ability can survive in a three-person squad. Ordinary people are more huddles and can survive...... Of course, they definitely prefer to live in the city. ”
"For example, I was with a few people from my squad, in the old days. We also live in the surrounding area, but we have to live with a lot of people. It's just that after killing the monster, you can come here to exchange for something, or live for a short time," Zhou Zeyu smiled bitterly, "But we have recently got a little bit of precious materials, exchanged for the ownership of the land, got a good robot, and finally got out of this life." ”
"The three of us have a robot that does chores, and we can get materials for these mutated creatures from time to time."
"But ordinary people, they don't have guns, their bodies are not as strong as mutated creatures, and they can't sense danger. Even if it goes well, there are more than thirty, or even forty or fifty people with a robot. But in order to compete for this kind of robot, it also follows the situation of the law of the jungle and the distribution of contributions. Of course, most ordinary people die like this, or do some chores for the able, hoping that they can get a little food. ”
"That's why the crowd that went to Yanjiang City this time will be so mighty."
"And we, the capable, have more resources, as you can see. Hundreds of capable people gathered together to form a small village. Everyone took turns on duty to protect the village. Resources are shared by squads for the time being. I believe that in a few months, we will also be able to reduce the number of people on duty and just let the drones do. ”
"Did the person who got the rating go to the original abandoned city?" After listening to this, Bing Shijue did not feel any joy, but had a faint sense of guilt swaying in his heart. Although he did not participate in this history, as a person who lived and worked in peace and contentment in the city, he thought that people outside lived like this, and he would inevitably feel some empathy.
"Yes, but those places are not abandoned cities now, and they are about ...... developed Thirty to fifty years ahead of the city. Zhou Zeyu said.
"This is also the truth that all those who leave the city do not come back?" Bing Shijue also sighed.
"If it's you, after you awaken your abilities, you can earn your own house with your own strength in the Holy Landing Zone, and the trivial things of life are all taken care of by robots. Food and clothing, all you have to do every day is to contribute to the Holy Advent District. Get rid of the wandering monsters and search for the precious things. It's no different from you in the city. ”
"Ask yourself, I'm really tempted by something like this." Bing Shijue said, but suddenly realized that something was wrong.
"Yes, so the capable ones will definitely be biased towards the Holy Presence area, this place where aliens splash is the real Holy Presence for us, allowing us to have power. The technology contained in it has also changed our lives. Zhou Zeyu recounted, not noticing Bing Shijue's frowning brows, "We are the future of mankind." ”
"Ah......h There is no need for Zhou Zeyu to deceive himself, but why don't these people use this set of rhetoric to confuse themselves since before he awakened his ability, when he awakened his ability. It stands to reason that his life in the city is very unsatisfactory, and his parents are in urgent need of treatment.
The picnic area only needs to use such a picture of life to bewitch himself, and he is not a very determined person, maybe he will follow them, why use such troublesome means to force himself with the safety of the people in the city along the river.
Is it just because of Ma Bingshi's style? Make Bing Shijue realize that the picnic area is cruel?
And what Ma Bingshi said separately with himself is also very strange.
Taken together, Bing Shijue always felt that the picnic area was not as good as Zhou Zeyu said.
No matter how uncontrollable things are and how chaotic the picnic area is, Ma Bingshi can't understand all the details. But at least these people who really come into contact with Bing Shijue, he can always give an order and invite Bing Shijue to come over in a gentle way. But Bing Shijue had a deep dislike for the picnic area from the beginning. So much so that when I see such a beautiful picture now, I still keep a little wary in my heart.
"Could it be...... Is this what Ma Bingshi wants to tell me? To use such a big price at the expense of the previous is to leave a bad impression on me, so that I will not be confused when I see it. Bing Shijue subconsciously moved his fingers, and the blades of grass around him also levitated, shattering into tender green juice under the pressure.
