Hal swam from the ocean and arrived in Gaul a few days later.
At a port, he met O'Daly, a middle-aged white man who was his main supporter.
"You are so stupid," the other party kept accusing him as soon as he saw him. "Obviously everyone is waiting and watching, why do you take the initiative to attack on your own? And you are still dealing with those three big octopus kings at sea?"
"Have you said enough? You can get out now." Hal's expression was cold.
"What are you talking about?!" O'Daly's face turned red. He is also a person who has been in a high position for a long time. Although he serves Hal, it does not mean that he is shameless. "I am doing this for your own good."
The other party actually ignored his good intentions and was so arrogant that it was simply unbearable for him.
"Humph, you just want to live an ignoble existence. Didn't you always say that you want me to save the world before? Why, now that there is no hope, do you want to shrink down like those rats in the gutter? Are you afraid that I will irritate you?
To those rats in the shadows?" Hal hit the nail on the head.
"This is a strategy! We in Gaul relied on this strategy to avoid the greatest harm and did not suffer the same disaster of war. And among those countries that resisted, which one did not die millions, or even tens of millions? If they had died earlier
If you surrender, so many people won't die," O'Daly argued forcefully, "and weren't there many people who said later that they would be better off if they surrendered?"
"A bunch of boring idiots. After a big wave, you can tell who is swimming naked at a glance." Hal didn't bother to argue with this person and walked away.
"Damn bastard, you will kill yourself sooner or later!" O'Daly spat behind him.
"Don't worry, even if the end comes, I will die later than any of you," Hal said without looking back, "because my value is much greater than you weaklings."
O'Daly stared at the opponent's back fiercely. The opponent's personality had obviously been revised last year. Why did it seem to be more arrogant now?
It's really puzzling.
But the most important issue now is not the other party, but how to survive in the new situation.
All the calculations and strategies in the past have turned into ridiculous looking at the sky under the background of the dark sun.
But the greatest luck is that there are no fundamental errors in the strategic analysis of the particle world. They are inseparable from life on earth.
This can be seen from the fact that the black sun lasted only two days.
If this goes wrong, there will be a real doomsday in science fiction, and life on earth will be completely destroyed.
That is the worst situation. Human beings now do not have the ability to travel between stars. They can really only usher in the end of civilization like those extinct life forms.
Fortunately, this worst situation did not occur.
For many people, surrendering and becoming a dog is difficult to accept, but for O'Daly, this is nothing. It's not like their ancestors have never done it before. Which country's civilians are not like this? As long as they can survive, they can do it.
What does a dog mean? Don’t laugh at anyone. This is how our ancestors came to be.
After all, no one can always be strong. Those ethnic groups that cannot yield or bend down are all exterminated, and the rest are those who can endure it.
So now their secret strategy is to endure it and stop doing things that offend the shadows.
However, what he didn't expect was that the person he supported, the former savior, Hal, still acted recklessly and ignored all his advice.
After discovering that the Big Octopus King was causing trouble on human sea routes, it was clearly discovered that the other party secretly took refuge in the Pillar of Shadows to attack human sea transportation, in order to repeat the previous strategy and contain human beings to a limited extent.
At this time, it is obvious that we can only be patient as before. As long as the opponent does not attack the core points, some materials and personnel will be lost.
After all, in many wars, more materials and personnel were lost.
But Hal couldn't stand it anymore and went out alone.
"Hmph, although you are strong enough, what's the use of personal courage now? Others control the general situation, and we can only survive by bowing our heads. Not to mention you, even Shen Rui, who has a stronger talent, is of no help."
O'Daly said to himself.
No, we can't let this guy get in trouble with us. If we offend the other party because of him, there will be no hope of living an ignoble existence in the future.
Humanity will not be destroyed, but those thorns will definitely not stay.
Whoever behaves most prominently at this time will be targeted for eradication in the future.
…………
Time passed like this day by day, until July of the 18th Dark Day, and it was summer in the northern hemisphere.
Contrary to many people's expectations, the shadow side did not launch any new actions.
Many people thought that the few thorns that faced the wind would be punished, but surprisingly, this did not happen.
Neither Shen Rui, nor Hal, nor some forces who insisted on attacking the shadows received any additional punishment.
This caused the wind to quietly turn again.
And some deep-seated information has also been explored, such as the fact that the particle world cannot easily interfere with the rules of the real world.
Shadow particles cannot directly kill any cultivator. This conjecture has also been raised.
This means that those who can really affect the changes in the earth's power are those high-level practitioners, not the particles themselves.
The situation was strangely stabilized again.
In the past few months, Shen Rui has developed the game's large map function, and his cultivation has also advanced to the mid-sixth level. If it were not for the pursuit of perfection, it could even be faster.
But in the eyes of his peers, this speed is already fast enough, but the target of his comparison has always been the top group of people. After all, he can see those people in the team list at any time.
Unfortunately, the highest member in the team list is only level 8.
He remembered Xiaoying saying once that Shanhu told him that there were ninth-level beings, and if he wanted to reincarnate as a human being, he had to first reach the ninth level and then use the special equipment of the alien organization.
Of course he had tried to contact this alien organization before, but Shan Hu said that their hiding place was extremely secretive and low-key. Unless he took the initiative to send someone to contact them, even he himself would not know where the other party was hiding.
From this point of view, this organization is hidden deeper than the Pillar of Shadows.
Shen Rui had no intention of causing trouble for them before. After all, the other party did not interfere with the overall situation. Now is not the time to make additional enemies.
And they have never been born. Obviously, they will not come out until the situation is completely stable.
This is normal, just like some hermit families in history who went to the mountains in troubled times and came out of the mountains to rule the world. They usually couldn't find anyone, so they took the shortcut to Zhongnan.
However, Shen Rui feels that with the game map, some forces should be able to be found no matter how well they are hidden.
He now wants to find this mysterious alien force. After all, the other party actually has the information to achieve level 9, which is very important.
They want others to take the lead, but in this situation, they cannot let them take advantage like this.
