Chapter 325 Who we used to be
What will these big guys do after they are released?"
The surroundings were too quiet, and a group of people were staring at him. Liu Xiao felt a little uncomfortable, so he simply found some topics to liven up the somewhat solemn atmosphere. Moreover, although he was just a passerby in Shelter City, about the human survival situation in the dead zone
, he was still very curious. "When you are releasing spirits, can you still chat with us?"
Salk asked in surprise. "Yes, in the spiritual source seal, it is called distraction. If you focus too much on interpreting the spirit, you will be very tired, so you don't have to worry, and it will not affect the efficiency and success rate of releasing the spirit."
Liu Xiao said, retracting his palm, "This end is fine, let's replace it with the next one."
Salk smiled and nodded, "That's fine, otherwise it would be very uncomfortable for us gentlemen to remain silent here."
"That's the truth."
Liu Xiao said with a smile, looking at another Sha Tuo crab standing still in front of him. "As for the role of Sha Tuo crabs, haha, they are actually shelters from the wind."
After Salk thought for a while, he said loudly. "..." Liu Xiao turned his head and looked at Salk with a frown, "What do you mean? Is there an extremely huge sand crab under our feet?"
Haha, his question caused a burst of laughter around him. "No, no, no, it's not what you think. Shelter City is not a fixed city-state, but a mobile tribe composed of these Sha Tuo crabs. We live in crab shells.
Relying on their mobility to move and migrate in the Bone Burial Sands, relying on their strength to fight, wherever we are, the sheltered city will be there."
Salk patiently explained. Liu Xiao somewhat understood what he meant. It was not shocking, but an expedient measure in extreme climates and a manifestation of the struggle between human beings and the environment. Much like the nomadic peoples on the earth, for
The fertile pasture resources are constantly changing camps, and they are always flexible to avoid war. "So, what about the crab pots? They shouldn't be able to move."
"Yes, during the breeding season of Shatuo crabs, we will build crab pots at a fixed location until they take shape and are released."
"Why do you need to keep moving the location of the camp? Is there any special reason?"
Salk smiled slightly and said, "This is the edge of the Great Wall. Apart from ferocious beasts, what other reasons could there be for this?"
Perhaps only people who have been fighting ferocious beasts for a long time can remain optimistic at this time. "I live in the central area of the fan ring and don't know much about this place. I have only experienced one swarm of ferocious beasts. Can you tell me about this place?"
situation?"
"Okay, what do you want to know?"
Salk replied quickly. After Liu Xiao thought for a while, he asked, "What is beyond the Sloan Great Wall?"
"The disorderly land, also known as the wild wasteland, is actually not much different from the fan ring. It's just that there is no order and rules."
Liu Xiao really didn't expect that Salk's description of Beyond the Great Wall was so simple, so casual, so... an understatement. "That ferocious beast..." Liu Xiao clicked.
One sentence. "For you, the swarm of ferocious beasts is indeed scary, but for us, haha, that's it. After all, we have relied on ferocious beasts to survive for generations."
"I don't understand what you mean."
"In your opinion, what do we live on in this sand? What do we eat? What do we drink? What do we use to exchange for necessary resources?"
Salk asked rhetorically. "By resisting the tide of ferocious beasts?"
According to Liu Xiao's understanding and the information obtained by You Shu, Shefeng City should be regarded as the human city-state guarding the front line of the fan ring. It devotes its life and blood to the comfortable life of countless humans in the fan ring, so it can naturally obtain a large amount of material support.
Salk smiled, "How can we, the people, resist the tide? Even if you call this a death zone, we won't really be looking for death."
"What does that rely on?"
Liu Xiao asked in confusion. "We rely on hunting and killing ferocious beasts. We eat the meat of ferocious beasts, drink the blood of ferocious beasts, and exchange their materials for necessary supplies. Of course, we are also the food in their mouths,
My father, my father's father, my youngest son, and some of their relatives and friends all died of ferocious beasts, each other. Although they were ferocious beasts and we were human beings, no one was nobler or nobler.
It’s even more terrifying. What humans fear is just the destruction of the inherent order.”
Salk's words made Liu Xiao deep in thought for a long time. Are ferocious beasts scary? They are terrible. They destroy human city-states and millions of people lose their lives. From the perspective of consequentialism, Salk's words are wrong.
But what about another angle? If human beings don’t have the so-called order, just like the sheltered city, where can
When a swarm occurs, people move away en masse. So Salk's words are not wrong. What worries Liu Xiao more is Salk's last words. The collapse of order is really more important than the death of the tribe.
Is it more terrifying? This reminded him of something that bothered him, that is, the news of the Origin Trial.
No country in the world has informed its citizens of the truth. People standing on the commanding heights of power resolutely chose the stability of order at the critical moment. They forced themselves to stop thinking about this issue, when their own situation was not high enough.
, in the absence of various evidence and information as supporting evidence,
The conclusions drawn are only one-sided, so it is better not to delve into it. "I understand, you just said that many seal masters have come here to help you complete the spiritual release of Sha Tuo Crab. As far as I know, the spiritual source
It is difficult for Tower to devote such a large amount of resources to support a human city-state, how did you do it?"
Liu Xiao retracted his arm and waved to several strong men, indicating that they could move on. "This is the junction between the human fan ring and the ferocious wilderness. Once the ferocious beasts break through the sand, they will face the entire human order.
Naturally, only we know the intelligence of the crowds, so our greatest value is not to resist the vicious beasts, but to warn the order, allowing the human garrison to have sufficient time to make preparations and military deployments."
Salk used his eyes to count the number of Shatuo crabs that Liu Xiaoshiling had successfully succeeded in. There were twenty-seven crabs. While overjoyed, he asked with concern, "Should you take a break?"
You must know that the previous record for the seal masters to release spirits in a row was only eighteen! This was already more than nine, and they did not bring any krypton crystals during the whole process. A strong man came to Liu Xiao and handed a bag
Passed it to Liu Xiao. Liu Xiao took it in his hand and opened it. It was full of psychic crystals, at least fifty of them. "Thank you, no need to rest for now."
Put it directly into the defective product. It was given by others. Why don't you use it? You are not stupid. It turns out that the importance of Shelter City to the human order lies in intelligence. Liu Xiao finally understood why Lingyuan Tower cares about the life and death of a remote tribe.
"Have you never thought about leaving here and living in the fan ring?"
Liu Xiao was very puzzled by this. Leaving aside the intrusion of ferocious beasts, the environment here was too bad. Why couldn't he live a good life? For the first time, Salk lowered his face and said seriously. "
Before, our home was not in the sand, but outside the fan ring. In the current harsh wilderness, the environment there is far better than here. That is our real homeland, but again and again, the fan ring comes again and again.
Bit by bit it was eaten away and shrunk, and finally the natural obstacle of the sand allowed the two sides to maintain a balance. We can no longer leave. The human order will not allow us to do so, and neither will we. This is not ours.
