After receiving the latest news from the City of Octopus, Shen Rui and a group of others were in awe.
At first, some people were laughing, and while laughing, some shed tears.
"If you think about it carefully, aren't we particle cultivators similar to what we experienced in this Octopus City?" Teacher Wu sighed.
"Yes, ordinary people fear us and envy us. Due to survival and crisis, many people have to succumb to the rule of cultivators and finally achieve a dynamic balance." Ouyang Ling shook his head.
"Before, there were many practitioners who were lawless. Fortunately, the serious crisis suppressed this trend." Teacher Wu nodded.
"But now that the crisis has eased, many things are about to come to light again." Ouyang Ling complained.
"Being poor means taking care of yourself. We are still very poor and can't manage so much. We should manage our own small piece of land and try to set an example for others." Shen Rui shook his head.
"Yes, we must set an example. At least here, we must still maintain civilization. We cannot let the world that has finally become civilized turn into a jungle society again just because some people are powerful. That would be the denial of human self. "Mr. Chen nodded.
"Then continue to wait and see and see what big things Octopus City can do." Shen Rui ordered.
Then everyone continued to work.
…………
Time is moving fast, and another new year has arrived. The 19th year of Dark Sun has finally arrived at a slow pace.
Shen Rui was eating in the cafeteria that day, listening to everyone's laughter.
The food in the canteen has improved greatly. There is no shortage of pork, beef and mutton, and various tropical fruits are also available in endless supply.
Just looking at the standard of living, he felt it was much better than what he had in his previous life.
And this is not the case in one place, the supplies of many large fortresses have been greatly improved.
The combination of technology and particles, the massive promotion of alienated plants, and the thorough improvement of greenhouse agriculture,
But the crisis began to emerge, and the alien beasts also began to seek further improvements in their living standards.
In the past, they would knock them down wherever they found a place to sleep, but now they even put forward the requirement of "home ownership"...
"It would be a disaster to allow billions of monsters in the world to live the same life as us humans!"
An argument began to gain popularity.
When this argument appeared, Shen Rui understood that a new war between humans and monsters would once again begin.
He has always had an idea on how to finally deal with the alien beasts.
That is to designate nature reserves, control their numbers, educate them, and use them according to their unique value.
Taking it a step further is like a mountain tiger, which can directly transform into a human body and infuse human thoughts. When the time comes, the aberrations will just be human beings' backup, and there won't be any fundamental problems.
It's just that these things are extremely complicated to do, and most importantly, they are thankless.
Shen Rui is not a person who likes to interfere with the overall situation, he prefers to live his own small life.
It's just that in the apocalypse, small days are related to the big picture.
The sun is dark, and there are no small days left.
As a man with a hang-up, he can only push up slowly, because there are many things that only he can accomplish.
To put it bluntly, if he didn't have this full-level skill, the earth at this time would have long been reduced to a world of shadows.
There will not be a world that is gradually turning to the sun now.
Just like many science fiction films I have seen in previous lives, once the world faces a natural disaster, it often has no power to reverse it.
Because with the foundation of human beings, it is difficult to resist the natural disasters set in the novels, and it takes a long time to go through a trough before recovering.
Just like the Three-Body Problem seen in the previous life, after one person from the solar system died, there were only the remaining escapees, and civilization was successfully rebuilt, and then the renaissance of human civilization was achieved.
While I was thinking, a light began to flicker in my mind.
"Hey, Dasha, are you there?"
Shen Rui was speechless and said: "Aguang, you are really floating now. Fortunately, I locked you into the team before. Do you want to be carried out by the shield?"
"Oh, this is an affectionate name for me. Those octopuses are very satisfied with my title. I call them Octopus Three Fools, and they are very happy. They say that only fools are lucky, sleep comfortably, and eat well. Unlike smart people, they worry every day whether the sun will come out tomorrow, but they don't know that this kind of worry is a waste of time at the moment..." Guang Guang said confidently.
"Okay, you're smart and reasonable. What do you mean, are you hooking up with those octopuses again?" Shen Rui grasped the key point.
He doesn't care what these particles call him, after all, the two parties are not from the same world.
"Yes, I got hooked up with them, and they came up with a way to solve the problem of life in the sun. I was amazed, couldn't stop being happy, elated, and the flames were roaring..."
Halfway through Guang Guang's words, Shen Rui stopped him: "Stop it, stop it, I find that you seem to have changed too much and are so unrestrained. What can you do?"
"Today is a good day. Of course I have to be unrestrained, because I finally want to get rid of the fate of leeks and become the master of my own destiny." The light particle said happily.
"What do you mean?" Shen Ruicai didn't believe that the other party could get rid of the restriction of his team's quota. There must be something else.
"I mean, the shadow is about to collapse. It can no longer control the life on the sun. I'm so happy. It has only been playing for less than 20 years and it can't control it. This is the result of overeating!" The light particles said excitedly.
"Really or not, it can't be a conspiracy, right?" Shen Rui immediately recalled all the things in the past, and the other party did show signs of being unable to cope with it.
Whether it is from the perspective of using and consuming high-level behemoths, harvesting the meager power on the earth, and never really giving power to the Pillar of Shadows, it is indeed very draining.
"Impossible, it's just a paper tiger, and a shadow is a shadow. Have you forgotten its essence?" Light Particle said confidently, "It's like a shadow projected on the wall. No matter how scary it is, it's actually just a paper cut. ."
"That's really good." Shen Rui said happily.
He can communicate directly with the particle world and learns many secrets that other forces don't know.
They can only move forward in the fog, occasionally getting a little bit of information.
There is no way. Shen Rui has an agreement with Silver Particles. He is treated specially and cannot leak information to humans.
"Don't worry, I've read a lot of books, I won't lie to you," Guang Guang said plausibly, "I have instigated a considerable part of the sun's life forms, and they are changing their life forms and actively moving closer to me. I, Guang Guang, make money!"
"You are too pretty and deserve a beating." Shen Rui said speechlessly.
"I really need money. Hurry up and get me more believers and trick more pure white particles into coming over. I need power so that I can instigate those solar beings to rebel." Guangguang urged.
"Wait." Shen Rui finished his meal in several bites, put the plate back, walked to the deck, and started thinking.
After thinking for a while, he suddenly understood where this something amiss came from.
"You said you have read many books, but not the history of our species?"
"Of course I've seen it. I just looked through it for thousands of years and it fell down." Light Particle said disdainfully.
"It's really ridiculous. What you are doing now is exactly the same as history, supporting the other party's power and waiting for the other party to cause chaos. But have you ever thought that after they successfully become independent, they may not be willing to reach an agreement with us. The essence of life It is expansion, reproduction, and exclusion of others. As a large race like humans, after millions of years of evolution, it is still a life-and-death competition. If there is no common crisis, it would be difficult for such a joint situation to occur." Shen Rui shook his head.
"You mean, these sun beings are just using me, and when they get rid of the shadow's rule, they will kick me away?" Guang Guang was a little panicked.
"Yes, how can they tolerate a new master? What's more, you fit their attributes very well. They will definitely find a way to control you and then use you as their tool, not the other way around. Anyone Those who have been bullied will be particularly sensitive to this matter." Shen Rui analyzed.
"It seems that I was a little careless. These guys all looked so sincere, but they actually deceived me." The back of the light particle became frightened.
"Okay, everyone is using each other. There is no saying that anyone is cheating. After all, this is a breakthrough. Let's deal with the shadows first, and then we will have a game with the sun's life." Shen Rui sighed.
