The return journey was much calmer for Udall's team, although for safety reasons, the route back was completely different from the route they came from.
However, this route has also been investigated many times, and it is basically confirmed that there will be no powerful giants or other powerful mutant creatures on this route.
Even some extremely aggressive mutant species that are occasionally encountered will only die helplessly under the firepower of Udall's team.
And due to the influence of Qin Anyi's strength, everyone in Udel's team has high morale, and is at their peak level both physically and mentally.
This also made the return journey smooth.
"You mean...the giant has already started to take action against us?" Dr. Li looked at Qin Anyi beside him and asked in shock.
The two of them continued to talk about the unfinished topics along the way. The difference was that Dr. Li had begun to show a certain amount of respect and surrender when facing Qin Anyi.
Qin Anyi can learn a lot about the current world situation from Dr. Li's mouth. This is intelligence information that was completely unobtainable when he was in Chaoyang settlement. After all, Chaoyang settlement is located too low and it is impossible to see so much.
thing.
As a real big shot in District 7, and the predecessor of District 7 was one of Atwell's satellite settlements, Dr. Li naturally has a much more comprehensive and detailed understanding of the world as a whole.
"In my opinion, it should be so. After returning to the settlement, we can focus on investigating the small and medium-sized settlements scattered around the world. I always feel that it is not an accident that the Chaoyang settlement is attacked by a group of giants.
It is very likely that this is the first stage of the attack plan drawn up by the giant against mutated humans."
Qin Anyi nodded and said with certainty.
"But...what's the point of attacking small and medium-sized settlements? The core of our humanity lies in the top ten first-class companies and the four giant companies. As long as these fourteen companies have not suffered serious losses, then other losses will be of no significance to them.
For humans, it is completely negligible.”
Dr. Li asked with a frown.
"Nearly two hundred years ago, a great man once proposed a strategic concept called rural surrounding cities. To explain it with the vocabulary you can understand now, it is to surround the small and unobtrusive settlements around the world.
All the points will be swept away, and eventually the remaining super-large settlements will be surrounded absolutely."
Qin Anyi explained simply.
"I still don't understand the point of doing this." Dr. Li shook his head.
"What do you think are the advantages of mutant humans compared to giants at present?" Qin Anyi suddenly asked.
"Advantage? The tall and strong wall we made?" Dr. Li was stunned for a moment, and then asked tentatively.
"That is not an advantage. The so-called advantage can never be brought by defense. Advantages can only come from offense, because no matter how strong the defense is, it can only prove that it is in a passive state of being beaten and has to make up for itself by studying defensive methods.
Insufficient strength. And those who are passively beaten cannot have an advantage! What's more, Atwell Company has proved with blood that the city walls you think are strong and tall enough are actually not safe. The key is to see whether the giant is willing.
Just be willing to pay the price to launch an attack. In other words, the current peace in the super-large settlement is only the peace allowed by the giants."
Qin Anyi looked at Dr. Li and said with a smile: "Your real advantage lies in your numbers. If there are 100 million giants in the whole world now, but only 10 million humans, I am afraid everyone would have been in despair. It is precisely because of your numbers.
Ten times that of a giant, so you can always have some courage to fight in your heart. Human beings are animals that are very good at self-comfort and self-deception, as long as they have enough reasons to deceive themselves."
"This..." Dr. Li suddenly fell into deep thought. If Yodel hadn't been pulling him along, he might have stood still.
"Although everyone understands that 100 million mutated humans are no match for 10 million giants, because most of the mutated humans are too fragile to be mentioned by giants, and the human army that can actually form a combat force can be roughly converted into
It can only be equivalent to two to three million giants. This is still an optimistic estimate. And the trouble is that even this small amount of power has been divided into dozens of scattered pieces due to the nature of human infighting.
Gathered together to form a whole fist. But after all, the advantage in numbers can make people instinctively feel numb, and this numbness is the driving force for humans to continue to live on this land."
After Qin Anyi finished speaking, he turned to look at Dr. Li and said calmly: "Now you understand how harmful this giant's strategy of surrounding the city from the countryside will be."
Dr. Li was horrified and said in a trembling voice: "You mean, the giant wants to plant despair in human hearts?"
"This is the truth. In the current thinking of human beings, you are still all over the world, and you are fighting giants all over the world for survival. But when all the humans in small and medium-sized rejection points are killed,
What will happen? The number of humans outside super-large settlements roughly accounts for about half of this era. When all these humans are killed by giants, then for humans, it will not only mean that half of them are missing.
The population size also means that all of your kind in the wild have disappeared, and you can only stay alone in the settlements. You have become trapped beasts. Prisoners trapped in the high city look like livestock in captivity.
You see the giants surrounding you, but you can only wait helplessly for the fate of being eaten by the giants. You will... lose hope, and then slowly wither in numbness."
After Qin Anyi finished speaking, even Youdel beside him couldn't help but feel chills all over his body.
"Then...then what should we do?" Dr. Li asked blankly.
"Find the reason why the giants have changed, and then eradicate this reason, so that the giants can return to the past state where they did not belong to each other and were only isolated in this world. Only in this way can we organize an elite team.
Continuously destroying giants point-to-point. The giants in the past were not really scary giants, so even in this crisis state, human beings still did not unite together, but split into various so-called companies. But now
The giants are different. They have learned to cooperate and obey each other. If there is no change, the end of mankind will really come."
