The crippled troops under Zhang Yan's rule guarded Lin An and others directly out of the city and returned to the Seventh Fortress.
According to Zhang Yan, the Seventh Fortress is located relatively forward of the front line and is more likely to be attacked by blood corpses.
Lin An is quite interested in this point.
On horseback.
Xiong Hanzi warmed up the self-heating hot pot and ate happily, causing all the soldiers to swallow their saliva.
I don’t know who this bald man is from Master Lin An. He is really strong.
The aroma is tangy.
"Captain Lin, why do you think the ascetics in the temple are so strange?"
"I always feel like something is wrong."
"You took action and they didn't stop you?"
"Is the system disguised so well?"
"Don't you fight back when you hit me or scold me?"
Talk while eating.
After running wildly for three days, taking advantage of the fact that the fortress was not too far away, the two of them simply mounted their war horses.
In Zhang Tie's words, if he keeps running, he will lose weight.
Lin An, who was studying the bloody corpse in the ring, did not look back after hearing this, and directly said in the team voice:
"It's normal."
"Of course, the system's camouflage effect will definitely not work if I want to kill them, but they still stand still and let me kill them."
"Otherwise, where is the need for mission difficulty?"
"I thought carefully about the reason why they didn't respond."
"Actually, taking action can be considered a test."
"Let's put it this way."
"Zhang Tie, have you discovered that the Great Xia Dynasty is actually divided into three parts?"
"First, it is high-end force, the only support: the ascetics of the old era."
"This type of ascetic doesn't care about worldly affairs and doesn't fight for power and gain."
"It is precisely because of this that the Daxia Dynasty is willing to give them such a high status."
"At this stage, the Daxia Dynasty has actually stabilized its situation against the blood corpses."
"After such a long period of "peace", it is theoretically impossible for the monarchy... to make such a large concession."
"The military power can be deployed at will... ha..."
As he said that, Lin An casually glanced at the other teams outside the city.
It is obvious that all armies have ascetics as their core.
"The second part is the Daxia Dynasty. The entire dynasty system is an ancient monarchy, nothing special."
"The third part is interesting."
"That is a new type of ascetic. This type of ascetic uses self-abuse and self-mutilation as a means of self-abuse. They account for a large share of the new ascetics."
"That's also the point..."
Xiong Hanzi picked up a piece of mutton roll and was about to eat it:
"What do you mean?"
"What do these three parts of Captain Lin have to do with the question I just asked?"
Didn't quite understand.
Lin An smiled, with a faint look in his eyes:
"I discovered a very interesting phenomenon."
“Although I don’t have much contact with the ascetics of the old era, they are obviously very afraid of death.”
"Human nature is to strive for power and gain, to reproduce, and to be obsessed with desires."
"But they don't have those emotions."
"The good thing is that the Great Xia Dynasty doesn't have to worry about them threatening its status."
"The downside is..."
"These ascetics from the old era don't want to die..."
"Didn't you notice? What is the ascetic with such a high number doing?"
"They "hide" in the temple and do the work of issuing numbers."
"Of course, this is not comprehensive, and I need to confirm it again."
"But if you think about it with your toes, how would the Great Xia Dynasty treat the former ascetics?"
Pulling the reins lightly, Lin An sped up slightly:
"In the old days, ascetics did not produce, did not do "things", and were in high positions."
"Even through their performance, I very much doubt that this group of people went to the final stage in order to pursue the so-called liberation..."
"He will even hide and never care about the bloody corpse again."
"After all, as long as you fight, you are bound to die."
"They can continue to resurrect, but their bodies are too weak..."
"Once this happens, what do you think you would do if you were the emperor of Great Xia?"
A rhetorical question.
Zhang Tie put down the hot pot in his hand and threw it to the young soldier aside:
"Well..."
"Captain Lin, aren't you making things difficult for me, Lao Zhang?"
"If it were me, I might not give so many benefits to...the ascetics of the old age?"
"but..."
"The ascetics are stronger than ordinary people. Even if the Emperor of Daxia is unhappy, there is nothing he can do about them, right?"
Lin An shook his head slightly, not expecting Zhang Tie to think of the key.
"There is a way."
"The new ascetic practice method, it is obvious that someone is adding fuel to the fire."
"Remember those ten we saw on the platform?"
“This is clearly “propaganda” approved by the official government.”
"In the words of the ascetics of the old age, and even in Zhang Yan's mind, these are evil ways and cannot form high-end combat power at all."
"But why, why should we allow this situation to spread?"
"Obviously."
"This way of obtaining power is definitely far more efficient than the speed at which ascetics in the old days could gain power through asceticism."
"In just a few minutes, they gained supernatural power."
"If this situation continues to develop, future ascetics will probably choose this method."
"When the time comes, the ascetics of the new era will replace the ascetics of the old era."
Zhang Tie understood this, and he couldn't help but think of the ordinary people who followed him to commit suicide.
You can gain power by stabbing yourself. The rules of this world are really weird...
In doubt, he hesitantly asked Lin An:
"Then Captain Lin, is this Great Xia Dynasty a fool?"
"Without high-end combat power, what can they use to fight against the blood corpses?"
"Didn't you say that this kind of ascetic who kills himself to gain strength is not useful?"
Lin An chuckled softly after hearing this and replied carefully:
"Not useful?"
"No, this method can produce ascetics in batches."
“Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes.”
"Anyway, the way ascetics in the old days fought against the blood corpses was to act as sandbag human shields."
"Then the weakness of the ascetics of the new era is their weakness. At most, one out of ten can be used."
"The most important thing is that ascetics in the new era have desires..."
"Compared to the old guys who have been doing hard work for a long time, they are more like humans... rather than machines."
"The ascetics of the old age pursued transcendence."
"The new era is simpler. They pursue power."
"One is illusory and only cares about its own machine."
"One is crazy and has a lot of emotions."
"I guess..."
"The senior leaders of the Daxia Dynasty clearly understand this."
"The ascetics of the old age are becoming more and more afraid of death. Doesn't that mean they are useless?"
"The stronger you get, the more you hide! There is obviously something wrong."
"The difference in the new era is that they are human beings and are easier to control."
"Separation of the three powers is the optimal solution."
"The emperor's inner skills will never disappear."
After hearing this, Xiong Hanzi smacked his lips and couldn't help mumbling:
"This is the end of the damn world, and you are still making all these twists and turns..."
"I'm not afraid of killing myself..."
"Also, Captain Lin, you said that you simulated the outcome of the battle with Ascetic No. 29."
"It's actually going to be a serious injury? How the hell are you going to complete the mission!"
Lin An smiled noncommittally and just answered Xiong Hanzi's first question:
"Twists and turns..."
"Aren't we also checking and balancing each other with the Capital War Zone?"
The real world is much crueler than here...
Having said that, he looked at the two task information and had a specific idea in his mind.
