Chapter 691 The laws of the world
In the strange state just now, Wang Tao discovered a pattern of how the world works!
To some extent, the world is made up of various elements. The variety of elements is far beyond Wang Tao's imagination, and Wang Tao even doesn't recognize many elements.
The greater the number of these elements, the better the overall world environment will be. The better the world environment, the higher the upper limit of all creatures will be, and the easier it will be to improve their strength!
And if you want the number of elements in the world to increase, you have to increase the average strength of human beings - yes, the average strength of human beings.
Although Wang Tao didn't know why it was related to humans, the pattern he "saw" was this.
The stronger the average strength of human beings, the more elements there will be in the world, the better the environment of the entire world will be, the higher the upper limit of human beings will be, the difficulty of promotion will continue to decrease, and the overall strength of all living things will become stronger and stronger!
This is also the main reason why in recent times, the survivors in Changhe Base have become stronger and stronger, their promotion speed has become faster and faster, and there are more and more awakened people.
For example, the success rate of fusing a white crystal core was originally 20%. Now that the environment of the entire world has improved, this probability has increased to 40% or 60%... Originally, the success rate of only a golden crystal core was 100%. Now It is possible to fuse a purple or even blue crystal core with a 100% success rate!
Another example is awakening. In the past, the success rate of the first awakening was 50%. The more subsequent awakenings, the lower the success rate. Now, the success rate of the first awakening may have reached 70%, 80% or even 90%!
Even after the environment improves to a certain level, the strength can be directly improved without the need for crystal cores!
In this case, the overall strength of the survivors is getting stronger and stronger!
Looking at it this way, this "law of world operation" seems to be a good thing. After all, the stronger humans are, the better the world is, and the better the world is, the stronger humans are! This is simply a perfect positive cycle!
But there was no joy on Wang Tao's face...
Because the overall environment of the world has improved, not only humans will become stronger and stronger, but also other creatures, including zombies, monsters, and mutated creatures!
Wang Tao knows how fast zombies evolve now. He has witnessed several sixth-level elite zombies turn into seventh-level lord zombies in front of him.
This rate of evolution is beyond the reach of human beings. In the entire Changhe Base, or in other words, the entire Qian Kingdom, there is only one seventh-level domainer named Wang Tao. But there is no telling how many level seven zombies there are. Anyway, there must be a lot of them.
Therefore, this operating law seems to be good for human beings, but in fact it is not. The stronger the human beings are, the more detrimental it is to themselves!
For example, now, seventh-level lord zombies have begun to appear in droves, not to mention those seventh-level disaster-level monsters. They are almost invincible, and there are still many of them! The only ones who can kill them are themselves. And once they die, a large area will be formed where humans cannot survive... Whether they die or not, humans will not feel comfortable!
And if humans don't become stronger, there won't be that many elements in the world, the overall environment won't be that good, and the upper limit and strength of all creatures won't become stronger.
Looking at it this way, it seems that it is a good thing that humans do not take the initiative to become stronger?
But the problem is, humans can’t defeat zombies unless they become stronger!
In the early stages of the zombie virus outbreak, humans were not strong, so most of the humans died, and those who survived were still lingering, without any hope. In order to survive, humans can only take the initiative to hunt zombies and become stronger.
So that means——
If humans take the initiative to become stronger and the world environment becomes better, humans will become stronger, but zombies and monsters will also become stronger. If humans cannot defeat them, humans will die.
If humans do not take the initiative to become stronger, the world environment is not good, and humans are very weak, they still cannot defeat zombie monsters, and humans are pawns.
This is such an endless loop!
No matter whether humans become stronger or not, they will eventually die! It's nothing more than the difference of "if you don't get stronger, you'll die sooner, if you get stronger you'll die later"!
Although Wang Tao is considered stronger now, he still can't defeat the seventh-level destruction-level monster, and even if he can defeat it, he doesn't dare to hunt it at will, otherwise it will form a volcano, causing the temperature to rise again, making the already difficult Humanity is adding insult to injury...
"What's wrong with you?"
Seeing that Wang Tao's face suddenly turned ugly, Lan Yulian suddenly asked worriedly, and everyone else looked over. I was worried that Wang Tao would encounter some problems when fusing the seventh-order crystal core.
Seeing everyone's worried expressions, Wang Tao hesitated for a moment, but still said what he had just perceived.
After listening to Wang Tao's words, everyone was dumbfounded.
"As humans become stronger, humans will die; if humans don't get stronger, humans will still die... This is a joke!"
"No, this is unreasonable! How can it be like this? Not giving human beings room to survive?"
"In other words, our efforts for so long have been in vain, and we are still going to die in the end?"
"..."
Wang Tao didn't speak, and everyone slowly fell into silence.
At this time, He Jijun, who had been silent, said:
"Wang Tao, it's not that I don't believe you, but your feeling... is there really nothing wrong?"
Wang Tao wanted to say that nothing could go wrong, but after thinking about it, he still said cautiously:
"It's hard to say. After all, this is something that can only be felt when the seventh-order crystal core is fused. I have only fused it once so far, and I have no other reference. And I'm not sure if this is an illusion..."
This is not entirely Wang Tao's comfort to them, because Wang Tao now recalled the mysterious and mysterious state before, and he also had some doubts. How could he feel so many things just by fusing a seventh-order crystal core?
Of course, Wang Tao is not the type to deceive himself. Since he feels this situation, he must treat it with caution. Even if it is really an illusion, he cannot treat it as an illusion until proven...
"Go back first, tell other people about this, and assume that my feeling is true. Let's brainstorm and see if we can come up with any countermeasures..."
Wang Tao said to everyone again.
Originally, he hunted several seventh-level lords today, and also took the heads of destruction-level monsters, and his own strength also improved a lot... This is something to be happy about. But now, Wang Tao is not happy at all.
"Well..."
The golden eagle flew towards the Changhe base with a group of people who were worried.
At a certain moment, Wang Tao suddenly said:
"Xiao Jin, wait a minute!"
He didn't explain, and turned into a meteor, flying towards an abandoned city on the ground.
After landing, countless zombies rushed towards Wang Tao, but these zombies suddenly ignited flames and turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.
Wang Tao didn't even look at these zombies. He took a few steps forward with a serious face and came to the entrance of a small waterway. He stamped his feet so hard that the ground cracked inch by inch.
Zhi——
A sleeping mutated mouse was suddenly forced out of the ground.
Wang Tao grabbed it and his face became increasingly ugly.
This mutated mouse was exactly the same as the mutated mouse he felt when he fused the seventh-order crystal core!
In other words, his strange state is not an illusion!
Then the laws of the world he sensed... were not hallucinations, all of them were real!
Wang Tao flew back to the golden eagle's back.
"Did you find anything?"
Ding Yuqin asked curiously.
Wang Tao raised the mutated mouse in his hand,
"I caught a mouse exactly like the one I saw in that strange perception."
Wang Tao didn't hide anything and told the matter directly.
The scene suddenly became quiet.
Everyone knows what this means. "Don't think too much. There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. We have been persisting in the apocalypse for so long. We have never encountered any situation, and it is no worse than this!"
Wang Tao smiled again.
"...Indeed!"
Hearing Wang Tao's words, everyone had a smile on their faces.
Originally, when the conclusion was ambiguous, they were still very worried, worried that the worst-case scenario would develop. But now that it was confirmed, they were not so worried.
It’s the end of the world anyway, how could the situation be any worse? The worst case scenario is death. They have lived for so long and are content.
The group of people successfully returned to Changhe Base, and it was already midnight.
Most of the people had rested. Wang Tao didn't look for Gu Yun immediately, so it was useless to be anxious.
He waited until the next day, after breakfast, to find Gu Yun.
"Wang Tao, how was the harvest this time?"
Seeing that Wang Tao was back safely, Gu Yun suddenly smiled and said.
"Not bad. It exceeded my expectations. Not only did I hunt down seventh-level creatures, I also planted a large number of awakening fruit trees..."
"Oh? There are also a lot of awakening fruit trees!"
Gu Yun's eyes suddenly lit up.
These are all good things that can improve the combat effectiveness of Changhe Base!
"But we also encountered some difficult things..."
Wang Tao said again.
"What happened?"
Gu Yun's face immediately turned serious. If Wang Tao found it difficult, it was definitely not a trivial matter.
And what Wang Tao said was not "one", but "some"! Gu Yun had a bad premonition, as if something big was about to happen!
Facts have proved that his guess was good, and one thing Wang Tao said gave him a big headache.
"The zombies outside are evolving too fast. There are already many seventh-level zombies appearing..."
"Many seventh-level lord zombies have appeared...the speed of zombie evolution is too fast!"
Gu Yun's face was very ugly.
Although Changhe Base's defense is strong, it can only defend against zombies of level six and below. Zombies of level seven and above are absolutely impossible to defend against.
The strength of the survivors at Changhe Base has improved a lot, but in battles above level 7, those below level 7 are all cannon fodder, and there is no use in large numbers!
If there are level 7 zombies appearing near Changhe Base, it will be big trouble!
Moreover, what Wang Tao said is that there are many seventh-level lord zombies appearing. Once their number increases, the probability of them appearing near Changhe Base will greatly increase!
If a seventh-level lord zombie really appears and Wang Tao happens to be away from the base, they will be in big trouble! Maybe they will be wiped out in one wave!
Looking at Gu Yun with an ugly face, Wang Tao paused for a moment and then continued:
"I encountered a seventh-level destructive magma monster. I was lucky. He was almost dead, so I killed it."
"You killed a seventh-level destructor!"
Gu Yun, who had an ugly face, suddenly became excited again.
This is the seventh level of destruction! Wang Tao said before that there is almost no possibility for him to defeat the seventh level of destruction!
But now Wang Tao has killed a seventh-level destructive monster. Even if the monster is almost dead, even if Wang Tao uses some expensive means, it is still a genuine seventh-level destructive monster! An existence that can destroy everything!
Wang Tao can kill it, which shows that Wang Tao's strength has improved a lot! The overall strength of Changhe Base has also improved a lot! This is definitely a very happy thing. As the mayor, how can he not be excited?
However, it was obviously too early for him to get excited. Wang Tao continued:
"I told you before that after the death of destructive-level creatures, their destructive realm will continue to exist for a long time, and the scope will expand. The destructive-level monster I killed is no exception. After it died on a barren mountain , that barren mountain directly turned into a terrifying active volcano that was constantly erupting. This large area was covered with [severe drought], and almost no living thing could survive in this environment. Even I dared to stay in it for a long time... …”
"..."
Only then did Gu Yun remember that the destruction-level monster might be more terrifying after death than alive!
And what happens after the death of this magma monster scares even Wang Tao! Not to mention other people, they will definitely die if they touch it!
Moreover, there seem to be quite a few of these seventh-level destructive magma monsters. Even if they are not attacked, they will die within a certain period of time. And if they die in large numbers, there may be no place for humans to stand on the entire planet!
Gu Yun immediately said:
"I will instruct them to pay more attention to this and try not to cause unnecessary deaths..."
Wang Tao nodded, and then said:
"Do you know why the zombies outside evolve so fast and there are so many destructive monsters?"
"Huh?"
Gu Yun raised his eyebrows. Since Wang Tao asked this, he should have an answer.
Wang Tao did not wait for Gu Yun to speak, but explained to himself:
"Because the stronger humans are, the better the whole world will be, and the faster zombies will evolve!"
"Huh?"
Gu Yun was obviously confused. What does this have to do with humans?
Wang Tao didn't hide anything and directly talked about the "laws of the world's operation".
After Gu Yun heard this, he felt numb.
"I suddenly feel that compared to the last question, the first two questions you mentioned are not problems... No matter whether human beings are strong or weak, they will eventually be destroyed. It is just a matter of time, so do we still need to work hard? If this matter is announced, I'm afraid the entire base will be in chaos..."
"Convene the senior management to brainstorm and see if we can come up with any solutions."
"Okay!" Gu Yun nodded immediately, and then asked tangledly, "What about letting the survivors improve their strength? We have been doing it, should we stop now or continue?"
"Go on..."
In this current situation, we must take care of the present first. If you die in the future, it will be in the future. If you can't survive now, there will be no future.
