25. Dead line (twenty-six)

After the declaration, the world fell silent.

Since ancient times, sacrifices have been made to appease the wrath of the gods, and the most notable of these offerings is a well-dressed maiden.

In order to beg for good weather, to calm the calamities, and to keep the sun alive, people would choose suitable people from among the unmarried maidens, dress them up in extravagant decorations, and walk up to the altar to the sound of solemn and sacred ceremonial music. After a long prayer and ceremony. After that, the chest of the sacrifice was cut open and the heart was taken out to fuel the sun's burning, or the girl's feet were tied with stones and sunk into the water, begging the gods to rain and dew, or the girl was sent into a dense forest cave inhabited by dangerous monsters to quell volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, typhoons, tsunamis, and floods.

In order to survive and live better, people can easily betray others, degrade their own kind to goods, and then sell them cheaply to the gods in exchange for their own benefits.

This is human nature, and betrayal, betrayal, selfishness, shamelessness, and meanness are the true weight of human nature, which can dominate the crowd more widely and universally in times of crisis than loyalty, friendship, family affection, and so on. As long as there is a reason, coupled with a little pressure, people will always quickly abandon morality, find a reason for themselves, and then hang up the false exculpation charm, and do the things that they have despised before.

The reasons used to create exonerations are readily available, and sometimes people themselves discover the "justified reasons" without being reminded of them. ”

For example, heroes should give their lives for everyone, which is a matter of course;

For example, the sacrifice of a few to allow the majority to survive is a commendable spirit of selfless and fearless dedication;

For example, this is everyone's request, and I am only one of them, and there is no reason to blame me.

Such as......

It's really easy to make an exoneration.

Of course, even with the exculpation amulet, people who have long been accustomed to living in a world full of humanity and morality will still feel hesitant, not to mention that the whole world is watching every move in real time through a high-speed information network. Anyone who betrays the saint of national salvation whom she once worshiped almost madly in front of the eyes of the whole world and shows her despicable shamelessness to the whole world will hesitate and even strongly resent this.

Not to mention, even if the other party promises to "sacrifice the head of the holy maiden and give salvation", the positions of the two sides are neither equal, nor is it a relationship that can be easily discussed. Even if the other party reverses his promise afterwards, people's doubts and accusations will not hurt him.

The gap between the Absolute and the human is like mud.

With so many concerns, even if you want to fall, it's not that simple.

You'll have to push them in the back again.

"How you decide is your own business, whether you think, hesitate, or act. However, time is not unlimited, so it's better to hurry. ”

The confusion was interrupted by an inorganic voice, and the countdown to the trial began.

"Manifest, my legion. ”

Legion, Region, from the New Testament, Gospel of Mark, chapter 5, verse 9. When the Savior saw a man possessed by a multitude of undead, the Savior asked who the undead were, and the undead replied, "We are legions, and we are the majority." Hence the name Legion.

Roman soldiers who had died in battle roamed the land in the form of evil spirits, searching for their battlefields and sacrifices until all life was cut off or purified by a saint. And what was produced from what Li Lin left on the ground was an army of thousands of demons.

As the hydra hovered overhead drained all their attention, the black crystals that remained on the ground—forests and castles made of countless silicon-based miniature lifeforms—began to ingest inorganic matter and change its form. By the time people spent fifteen minutes in silence and confusion, inorganic life had completed the evolution of organic life for hundreds of millions of years from its birth to the Cambrian explosion. Four-legged or multi-legged walking species have appeared in the dark forest, some have developed protrusions that resemble arms, some have developed organs for ingesting inorganic matter, some have grown hands, feet and tails, and even more have developed mouths and sharp teeth, gnawing stones and the same kind to reconstruct parts of the body in the body.

Emerge, eliminate, and become more powerful—the centuries-long evolutionary process of organic life is now being reproduced by inorganic life at an unusually high speed. It's so fast that it's dizzying.

However, in the same evolution, there is a decisive difference between inorganic life and organic life, that is, the presence or absence of a clear direction.

There are a lot of random selections and contingencies in the evolution of organic organisms, and it is difficult to call the existence of a systematic and clear end goal other than "better fit for survival". However, the inorganic life forms that are thriving at the moment are constantly evolving in the direction of a clear goal.

Inorganic Life Weapons (.eapon).

(Organic biological weapons) is only one word apart. In fact, the two are completely different things. Organic biological weapons are grafted with viruses to graft the genes of different species, artificially enhancing the physical strength, speed, and explosiveness of organisms, and then adding certain characteristics on this basis, such as adding biological lasers or poison glands, etc. Basically, it is still impossible to depart from the basic framework of existing organisms. To put it simply, no matter how much you induce genetic mutations and strengthen the body of the test subject, it is impossible to make an organic biological weapon like a chariot or an aircraft carrier.

Inorganic life weapons are completely different, they can memorize and calculate on their own, and while evolving at a high speed from the microscopic level, they continue to improve themselves towards the goal. In less than 30 minutes, the inorganic life in the Black Diamond Forest had broken free from the shackles of living beings and began to show obvious weapon characteristics.

Originally, the second battle form was used to deal with gravityless space, that is, a war outside the atmosphere, but this did not mean that Li Lin could not interfere on the ground. After entering the second campaign form, not only the volume and strength output were enhanced, but the computing power was also greatly increased, and it was not at all a problem to control the inorganic life weapons of the size of the group army group.

In the face of a huge army that obscures the sky and the sun, even miracles lose their luster.

"Choose, human. Is it to offer sacrifices to appease the wrath of the gods, or is it a meaningless death that does not even lead to confession?"

Hordes of multi-legged chariots walked out of the Black Diamond Forest, twin 88mm cannons pulsing with arcs on their backs pointed at the panicked people.
