Because of the drastic changes in Mana's ecology, humanity's time has suddenly begun to count down. The lighthouse is crumbling and the outpost is isolated and helpless. The entire human civilization is already standing on the edge of the cliff. It only takes a gentle push and it will be shattered to pieces.
What can humans do in the face of severe climate? There is no other way except hiding.
Human beings don't know that this change is just two kings of pole-devouring beasts competing for the identity of the version son.
New version, there can only be one son of the new version.
Dulan also had to admit that he had a lot of ideas, but if he didn't have time, he couldn't implement them, so he had to learn early. As the old saying goes, the best time to learn a technology was ten years ago, and the second best time was
It's now, but time waits for no one.
So seeing that the lighthouse was about to fall, Duran quickly took out the biological spaceship and held it up from the bottom of the lighthouse.
The huge Leviathan whale is holding up the lighthouse from below. Hold it up first. If the lighthouse cannot hold up anymore, then move the personnel.
"City Lord, a huge monster appears below the city." The superior said in horror.
Hong Kou said: "Don't be nervous. This Leviathan protects the lighthouse and is on our side. It is using its own power to lift the lighthouse."
Shangmin expressed his confusion: "How can monsters help us humans? Aren't humans their food?"
"Everything is created to nourish people, and people have nothing to repay heaven with." Hong Kou said philosophically.
"People still don't understand."
"Although the old version has ended and the new version of humanity has been reduced to the brink of destruction, some monsters that accept the order of the old version will still focus on humans and are still willing to help humans."
Hong Kou's words were too abstract. Everyone was confused after hearing this. Why are there still old versions of monsters to help humans? It seems that humans are already alone.
However, scientists have to admit that the lighthouse is currently in danger. If there is no monster below to lift it, once the lighthouse energy is exhausted, it will have no choice but to land.
"We really can't think about it that much now. If the strong wind outside doesn't stop, the lighthouse will definitely fall. With the support below, it can indeed hold on. But if the strong wind doesn't stop, we won't be able to go down to collect resources. In the end, we won't starve to death."
Just die of thirst." As a scientist, Jing Nan grasped the main contradiction quite accurately.
Now the conflict between humans and monsters is secondary, while humans and the harsh climate are the main conflict.
Hong Kou said: "Then go investigate."
No one knows what is going on with the strong wind, and it is impossible to conduct an investigation under strong wind conditions. The aircraft and hang glider will be blown away.
"This is a punishment from the Lord of Light and Shadow, because there are still many people who do not believe in the Lord of Light and Shadow." The church jumped out and said that the strong wind was a punishment from God because some people did not accept the teachings of the Lord of Light and Shadow.
"We must use sacrifices to stop the strong wind. We must sacrifice those heathens!" A fanatical believer proposed a blood sacrifice.
Dulan couldn't help but think that at first religion was a game only played by nobles, but later ordinary people could play it too. However, ordinary people did not have many resources after all. The religions supported by ordinary people were basically the religions of the weak, and they were all prayers.
Let others protect you.
Religion is a high-level activity at the beginning. Later, when ordinary people learn it, they will add the concept of savior or salvation of all sentient beings, which is to seek an external force to save themselves. This is because ordinary people are very weak, and without external intervention, it is difficult to change the status quo. But
It is precisely because of this weak position that monotheistic religions generally satisfy ordinary people and form a force that can counter the aristocrats. However, the aristocrats also have to give up polytheistic beliefs and believe in one god.
As for religious extremism, this is also normal. In critical moments, not only religions will become extreme, but everyone will. They want to protect themselves and make others pay the price.
It’s just that religions can easily find excuses to shift the cost to pagans and heretics, and rob the pagans of their food so that they can live longer.
Just like Zhang Beihai's idea, as long as you can survive, you will win. As for who bears the cost and who can survive in the end, there is no difference for humans. The important thing is to concentrate resources and live longer.
If there are two people and each person has three days of dry food, then if one person is killed, the survivor will have six days of dry food.
When there are very few external resources and the only way to survive is to snatch resources from others, there is the so-called extreme. The extreme is to only protect yourself and rob others. It will inevitably happen, it just depends on how you organize it.
Extreme religion is just an extreme form, not the only one.
When killing one more person means you can live one more day, the lighthouse is an arena.
"Bah, timid Shangmin, what they don't have the guts to do, we mortals will do!" Seeing that Shangmin was unable to obtain resources in a harsh environment, 9527 took action and decided to go to the surface to obtain resources.
If he succeeds, his name will be resounding throughout the lighthouse, and the common people will support him even more. If he fails, of course he will die. This is the part of gambling, which is to use what you already have as a bet, and bet on something you don’t have.
future.
The word "bet" doesn't sound good, but there is no more suitable word.
Everyone has a life, but few people dare to bet on it. Because everyone knows that the odds of winning in a bet on life are not high. If you bet ten lives, you will have a narrow escape. No one is sure whether he is a lucky person.
9527 doesn’t know either, but he still chooses to gamble.
He took out his collection of fine wine and bread, and summoned a group of ordinary people who were also willing to gamble their lives: "Whoever is willing to go down with me to collect resources, I will give you a piece of bread, and a bottle of fine wine when you come back."
"I do!" Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man who will fight for bread and wine.
"I do too!"
"qtmd, the superior people are all cowards, I want them to know that the common people are the strongest."
"Yes, ordinary people are the future."
A group of ordinary people bet their young lives passionately, knowing that the chance of coming back alive is very low, but they are willing to take the gamble.
"Very good, let's go."
Duran sailed the ship.
"Donny, our lives are in your hands." 9527 knew that they had to go through a bumpy journey first. In this raging wind, the only thing they could rely on was the stealth spacecraft and Duran's driving skills.
This is just like going out to sea and is full of dangers, so sailors will worship gods and pray for an external force to protect them in the face of natural disasters.
Duran said that worshiping God is worse than worshiping him. As a senior time traveler, he is a powerful external force: "Let's go."
As soon as the spacecraft left the lighthouse, it seemed as if it had rushed into a stormy sea. The scythe of death was on its neck and would be swung down at any time. Fortunately, Duran's skills were no joke, and there were no dangers at this stage of the flight.
After landing, they had to collect resources in strong winds, which was also a difficult job. As soon as the hatch was opened, strong winds poured in, and the dustmen who were not wearing heavy-duty clothes could not stand steadily and were blown down directly by the wind.
Fortunately, they all wore protective clothing and were not infected by scarlet pigment.
"Let's go." 9527, wearing heavy clothing, led the way, struggling to move forward in the headwind.
Fortunately, even in the strong wind, the Devouring Beast was unwilling to go out.
However, the ordinary pole-devouring beasts did not go out, but the king-level beasts were fighting. The battlefield passed through the entire continent and came to a nearby place.
The heavy body was still transporting matter, but suddenly it felt like the earth was shaking.
"4068 continues working, I'll go take a look." 9527 climbed up the building to take a look at the situation. At this sight, he was stunned. Not far away, he saw two monsters three hundred meters high fighting each other. They were obviously huge and bloated.
The movements are as fast as lightning, and there is no feeling of stagnation at all.
The strong wind is like a stage for the monsters, allowing their movements to flow smoothly.
Both monsters are a combination of plants and animals. They look very Cthulhu, as if various life forms have been kneaded into a brand new life, as if animal corpses are stuck together with glue, which is weird and terrifying.
9527 was dumbfounded. He didn't expect to see such a ridiculous and bizarre sight. He suddenly felt that his sanity was completely wiped out and he was about to become a follower of Cthulhu.
