Chapter 948: Abandoned Kindred
Under the leadership of Lu Beilu and others, Lin Fan and the others met a completely different group of Yuehua people.
They are called hermits, but they are also Yuehua people. But Yuehua people are full of emotions and have strong appeal.
The underground world is far less bright than above ground, and even the air always carries a faint, indescribable smell. They walked through the corridor, which was not spacious compared to the ground. Listening to the low laughter and whispers of the people in Rubeilu, it seemed that the slightly worse environment had been put on a warm filter.
Fortunately, the Noah ship did not take sides. Their hearts were obviously biased towards these people who showed their true feelings.
The cabaret in the underground world is not much different from the nightclub on Lanxing. There are also dazzling lights, but there are no people dancing on the dance floor in the middle, just swaying to the soft music.
In the dim environment, the features of Lin Fan and others were concealed, and almost no one noticed their arrival.
As soon as Antonio arrived here, he turned on the automatic path-finding function. He directly found the bar and asked for a drink without anyone having to point his finger.
While the bartender was stunned, Ruberu arrived and explained their identities. After that, I saw the bartender trying his best to fill the bar with food.
The wine in the underground city is light fruit wine, not strong, and there are also many fruit juice drinks.
In terms of quality and taste, it's actually not as good as what you can drink on the ground, but the atmosphere is good.
They can sit relaxedly at the bar, listen to music, watch the figures swaying slowly on the dance floor, and casually chat about some relaxed topics with new friends...
Until they left the cabaret, not many people discovered their profession. Of course, the bartender has a nice medallion on his chest.
“So why were you driven underground in the first place?” Antonio asked curiously. "I feel like you are not much worse than the Yuehua people on the ground. They are so anxious that they will blow themselves up."
After coming out of the song and dance shop, a group of people wandered around the block aimlessly.
The overall architectural style of the underground city is not uniform on the ground. Buildings of different eras are mixed together, which looks chaotic and strange, but at the same time full of freedom.
“That was the era when numbers spoke, and numbers represented everything.” Rubeiru replied, “Science and technology has developed to a certain stage, advanced enough to replace low-level labor at a certain level, covering most of people’s lives. Scope. When people adapt to and rely on this high-tech convenience, lazy thinking grows at the same time and becomes unwilling to think."
"This is true," Antonio nodded. "Since I experienced H. After eating takeout in China, I no longer want to go out to eat. I only order food based on ratings, but in many cases, the food with high ratings may not be as delicious as the reviews say.”
Rubeilu doesn’t know what takeout is. Antonio explained to him carefully.
“Oh, it’s equivalent to an express delivery service.” Luberu understood, “We also have it here, not just food, but all things can be delivered by express delivery.”
Lin Fan didn't feel too surprised when he thought about the developed rail system. Bringing the distorted topic back: "The consequence of not wanting to think is to blindly believe in the written results. Are the numbers detected by advanced instruments?"
"Yes," Rubeiru nodded, "In fact, the most The original intention at the beginning was good, to gather outstanding people, but somehow, slowly, the original purpose changed. Human beings were like picked goods, judged as qualified and unqualified according to scores. "
“There’s no need for confrontation!” Antonio didn’t quite understand. “It’s enough to do your own thing well in your respective positions. How can anyone do everything? People always have their own things they’re good at and things they’re not good at. Something."
Ruberu shook his head slightly, "That's true, but at that time, the Yuehua people who thought they were superior didn't think so. The more the planet developed, the more they disliked people with low scores. ""Class division..." Lin Fan murmured.
"They disliked that we could only be like worker ants and could not do the sophisticated work they did, and they completely denied our contribution. Later, they even thought that our existence would continue to slow down the genetic process of Yuehua Star and cause the civilization to stagnate. "
"This is too much!" Antonio was surprised. "A sound society is composed of many factors. , Population is the most basic factor.”
“But they believe that the quality of personnel is the core that determines the development potential and innovation capabilities of the planet. If our genes are not good enough, we will become a stumbling block on their way to development and a stain on the planet. ..."
"For the sake of the invisible civilization process, forcefully dividing one's own compatriots is simply..." Lin Fan sighed.
“Too radical!” Antonio shook his head in disbelief, “What happened next? Did you start a fight?”
"Not at the beginning. Because of the structure of the society, most of the resources and weapons were concentrated in their hands. When our ancestors wanted to resist, they found that the odds of winning were not good." Rubeiru explained.
"So no matter what time, hard power must be strong." Lin Fan felt in his heart, "If you were strong enough at that time, or had enough force to protect yourself, you might not be where you are today."
But then again, who would have thought that humans would kill their own kind?
It's like the whole village pooled their money to provide a few promising people first, hoping that when they become prosperous, they can lead everyone to get rich together. As a result, the family became so rich that they had long forgotten their original agreement. Instead, they regarded the poor villagers who had supported them as a shame and cut off their robes without hesitation.
"Yes, it was too late when our ancestors discovered this problem... But after so many years of hard work, we have caught up." Rubeilu smiled, "At that time, not only did we dare not move, Those at the top also dare not do anything to us, because technology has not yet developed to the stage where it can completely replace human power. They still need us to be robotic arms and batteries to maintain the operation of this planet..."
< br>
"Oh my God!" Antonio pulled his hair exaggeratedly, "Doesn't that mean he looks down on you and wants you to work again?!"
Seeing Rubelu nodding, he asked louder, "That's it, you guys Are you still going on strike?”
Lin Fan teased Antonio: “Without hard power as a bargaining chip, a strike is just a meaningless clamor and will eventually become ignored. It’s a joke.”
“Yes,” Rubelu nodded, “At that time, we were like parts on a huge conveyor belt. Once we stopped, we faced a severe crisis of survival, so it was difficult for everyone. Although they endured the oppression of the above, few people really stopped regardless of their lives."
"Then what caused your breakup to finally break out?" Lin Fan asked.
Ruberu smiled sarcastically: "It is technological progress that has completely replaced the low-level labor force. When we became dispensable and a waste of space and resources, they finally began to clean up the quality of the population without mercy."< br>
“Oh my god!” Antonio, a big man, couldn’t help but feel terrible. Just listening to it, he could imagine what the scene was like at that time. “ Then you have no chance of winning. How did you escape?"
"It's the Venerable!" Rubeilu smiled sincerely, "It was the Venerable who led us to escape the encirclement and suppression. , hiding underground, and slowly trying to figure it out, that’s why today I can defeat those people above, hahahaha..."
The young people all laughed.
“So,” Ruberu suppressed his smile and said solemnly to Lin Fan and Antonio, “His Holiness is really, really important to us. Please take good care of him.”
