Chapter 544 Humans are like cockroaches

"this……"

Xu Ying hesitated a little.

"Is there any difficulty?"

"Well... I didn't have it before, but now I have it..." Xu Ying rubbed her temples with a headache and looked out the window at the stone statue that was not too far away.

She brought Li Wenxi to the human base in the underground world. She originally wanted to show Li Wenxi around, let her explore if there were any minerals around, and then tell the rulers of the human base the location of these resources so that they would not be so panicked.

.

Because she herself had some doubts about whether the rulers of this underground human world would have any other ideas.

You must know that the area where humans live now is indeed much wider than the original area.

Although the surface area of ​​the earth has increased to a hundred times after the overall expansion of the earth, this range of activity is pitifully small according to the current situation of the earth as a whole, but...

Did those alien invaders really never discover this place?

On Earth thousands of years ago, even a small uninhabited island would be invisible to satellite surveillance.

The technology of alien invaders is much better than that of humans thousands of years ago.

Of course, if she were to say whether this human base had ever been discovered, she would prefer that it had not yet been discovered.

First of all, the humans living here have not been affected at all. If alien invaders discovered this place, would those bastards... allow so many humans to continue to reproduce?

Of course, the more important reason is that this is the underground world.

The overall height here is at most two to three thousand meters, and some areas are only tens or even a few meters high. There are even some areas that are completely isolated and closed by stone walls.

When exploring this underground world, we cannot use something convenient like a satellite that flies in the sky for observation.

The current underground world is somewhat similar to the deep seabed a thousand years ago. It is extremely difficult to explore and the scope is doubled. No matter how advanced the human satellite technology was a thousand years ago, the deep sea was still a very mysterious place for them.

Therefore, there is still a high possibility that the human base area has not been exposed.

After all, the alien invaders did not delve too deeply into the underground world. Most areas of the underground world are dark and basically lifeless. Who would bother to explore such a vast underground world.

As long as the mineral resources discovered are enough for them, there is no need for them to waste too much energy in the underground world.

So in her opinion, those alien invaders should now just use the underground world as a convenient testing ground to conduct experiments and control the bloodline of giant beasts.

At the same time, their human base is located so far away that it is basically impossible to find it.

"But..." Li Wenxi frowned and speculated after listening to Xu Ying's words, "It is true that it is difficult for alien invaders to find this place, but this does not mean that humans living in the underground world do not want to go out.

?Among 100 million people, there are always some who yearn for the ground and the blue sky, right?"

Xu Ying bit her lip.

"... They have been multiplying in the underground world for thousands of years, and in order to prevent them from committing suicide collectively, when we first brought them to the surface, we deliberately did not bring any documents related to the ground and the blue sky.

After being brought down, they should have no idea about the blue sky now, right? They even said..."

Xu Ying's tone was a little unconfident, and she raised her head to look at the prosperous scene outside the window.

This is the most prosperous city for mankind today, and most people live a worry-free life.

People's lives are relatively full, and there is no need to make a fuss about leaving the underground.

For most people, blue sky and white clouds are just a legend to them, just like modern people don't bother to see the dinosaur saber-toothed tiger.

There is no such requirement.

I am living well now, why do I need to go to the ground?

Can I live as comfortably as I do now on the ground?

Moreover, some works over the past millennium have basically popularized the dangers of the ground, which makes most people extremely fearful of the ground.

Not only do they not want to return to the ground, they even regard the ground of this planet as a very unsuitable area for survival.

The temperature difference between day and night can even be as large as more than ten degrees. Sunlight can cause very strong damage to the human body. Extreme weather that appears from time to time on the ground can kill thousands of people at a time. There are also various beasts and flying monsters that cannot be resisted.

,as well as……

Crazy alien invaders will kill them all.

Instilled by this idea, people living underground even believe that moving underground to such a very suitable place for survival thousands of years ago was the best decision in human history.

Xu Xin and Xu Ying, who moved them underground for unknown reasons, became their saviors of mankind.

"But... this is just what ordinary people think, right?" Li Wenxi retorted, "Ordinary people do live a prosperous life and have no need to return to the surface. But the senior people who control this underground world have probably realized that the resources of the underground world

Has it been exhausted? At least, the resources in the underground world they have explored have been exhausted."

Xu Ying was speechless.

This is also what worries her the most.

How long this underground world can last, the managers of this human world know best.

At that time, Xu Xin and Xu Ying sent everyone underground, and then specially selected a few people with high authority above ground to implement centralized power.

Rather than simply centralizing power, the state at that time may have been more like imperial power.

In the chaotic state at that time, imperial power was the most suitable system. In that critical period, the remaining human beings had just arrived in the underground world and were waiting to be reborn. Who cares about human rights, equality and freedom.

Accept the arrangement and die if you don't obey. It's that simple.

And this system has been extended to the present. In other words, the current human rulers are basically the same aristocratic families that have been passed down for thousands of years.

Of course, over the past thousand years, the ruling class has not always satisfied the people as it does now, and riots have not occurred in the underground world. But because Xu Xin was still there at that time, he took Xu Ying across many points in time, and basically everyone would

Suppress the situation before problems arise.

Therefore, this system has continued.

The continuation of this system is also to prepare for humans to return to the ground. I believe that one day in the future, people will see the bright sunshine again.

But there are also shortcomings to this system.

When the ruling class is basically hereditary or abdicated, there will be no gaps in their information.

In other words, the ruling class of this underground world knows too much.

They know the truth that happened thousands of years ago, and they also know that the ground is not as scary as people rumored. On the contrary, it is the place where human beings should live. They know that living under the blue sky and white clouds is the destination of human beings.

Rather than being driven into this underground world and just taking things as they come.

They also know their mission, which is to lead everyone back to the ground one day!

Of course, this has not happened before because the previous dozens of rulers had relatively weak ideas in this regard.

Like ordinary people living in this world, they are very satisfied with life in this world. As rulers, they can live comfortably for the rest of their lives, so who would want to leave.

But the rulers this time are different.

They already know that the existing proven resources in the human base cannot last much longer.

In this case, if they have a sense of responsibility, they will naturally do something for the humans living in this human base.

Even if they don't have such a strong sense of responsibility, they still care about their families and future generations like ordinary people.

Maybe the resources will not be exhausted in their generation, but what about their descendants...

Are they going to leave a chaotic world to their descendants?

Although Xu Ying had considered this point of view before, the more she thought about it, the more she thought it was possible.

It’s simply the truth…

"If I were one of those rulers, the easiest way to know how to return to the ground would be to capture the two 'gods' Xu Xin and Xu Ying who have appeared in various areas for thousands of years, right?

?" Li Wenxi also stood up from the sofa and looked at the two statues erected outside, "It's a pity... you are not the Xu Ying who brought them here."

...I actually didn’t tell you the truth because I was afraid of scaring you.

Xu Ying muttered something in her heart.

"Moreover, if I were them, I wouldn't be able to place all my hopes on the so-called 'gods' that only appear once every few decades or even hundreds of years. I would also... try to contact the ground."

"...Contact with the ground?" Xu Ying's expression was a little gloomy.

At this point she was considering one of the worst-case scenarios.

Who on the ground can contact them?

Of course not the survivors who were treated like monkeys.

It will be obvious who can be contacted.

Alien invaders!

This group of human rulers, who have not tasted the big stick of alien invaders in a thousand years, are likely to do such a thing!

They may naively believe that alien invaders will accept their negotiations and allow them a place to survive on the surface.

But in Xu Ying's opinion, this is absolutely fantasy.

Totally impossible!
