Chapter 544 Humans are like cockroaches
"This..."
Xu Ying hesitated.
"Is there any difficulty?"
"Well... I didn't have it before, but now I have it..." Xu Ying rubbed her temples with a headache and looked out the window at the stone statue that was not too far away.
She brought Li Wenxi to the human base in the underground world. She originally wanted to show Li Wenxi around, let her explore if there were any minerals around, and then tell the rulers of the human base the location of these resources so that they would not be so panicked. .
Because she herself had some doubts about whether the rulers of this underground human world would have any other ideas.
You know, the area where humans live now is indeed much wider than the original area.
Although the surface area of the earth has increased to a hundred times after the overall expansion of the earth, this range of activity is pitifully small compared to the entire earth today, but...
Did those alien invaders really never discover this place?
On the earth thousands of years ago, even a small uninhabited island would be invisible to satellite surveillance.
The technology of alien invaders is much better than that of humans thousands of years ago.
Of course, if she said that this human base had not been discovered yet, she would prefer that it had not yet been discovered.
First of all, the humans living here have not been affected at all. If alien invaders discovered this place, would those bastards... allow so many humans to continue to reproduce?
Of course, the more important reason is that this is the underground world.
The overall height here is at most two to three thousand meters, and some areas are only tens or even a few meters high. There are even some areas that are completely isolated and closed by stone walls.
When exploring this underground world, it is impossible to observe with something as convenient as a satellite flying in the sky.
The current underground world is somewhat similar to the deep seabed thousands of years ago. It is extremely difficult to explore and the scope is doubled. No matter how advanced human satellite technology was a thousand years ago, the deep sea was still a very mysterious place for them.
Therefore, there is still a high possibility that the human base area has not been exposed.
After all, the alien invaders did not delve too deeply into the underground world. Most areas of the underground world are dark and basically lifeless. Who would take the trouble to explore such a vast underground world.
As long as the mineral resources discovered are enough for them, there is no need for them to waste too much energy in the underground world.
So in her opinion, those alien invaders should now just use the underground world as a convenient testing ground to conduct experiments on the bloodline of giant beasts.
At the same time, their human base is located so far away that it is basically impossible to find it.
"But..." Li Wenxi frowned and speculated after listening to Xu Ying's words, "It is true that it is difficult for alien invaders to find this place, but this does not mean that humans living in the underground world do not want to go out. ? Among 100 million people, there are always some people who yearn for the ground and the blue sky, right? ”
Xu Ying bit her lip.
"... They have been multiplying in the underground world for thousands of years, and in order to prevent them from committing suicide collectively, when we first brought them to the surface, we deliberately did not bring any documents related to the ground and the blue sky. After being brought down, they should have no idea about Lan Tian right now, right? They even said..."
Xu Ying's tone was a little unconfident, and she raised her head to look at the prosperous scene outside the window.
This is the most prosperous city for mankind today, and most people live a worry-free life.
People's lives are relatively full, and there is no need to make a fuss about leaving the underground.
For most people, blue sky and white clouds are just a legend to them, just like modern people don't bother to see the dinosaur saber-toothed tiger.
There is no need for this.
I am living well now, why do I need to go to the ground?
Can I live as comfortably as I do now on the ground?
Moreover, some works over the past millennium have basically popularized the dangers of the ground, which makes most people extremely fearful of the ground.
Not only do they not want to return to the ground, they even regard the ground of this planet as a very unsuitable area for survival.
The temperature difference between day and night can even reach more than ten degrees. Sunlight can cause very strong damage to the human body. Extreme weather that occurs on the ground from time to time can kill thousands of people at a time. There are also all kinds of irresistible beasts and flying monsters. And...
Crazy alien invaders will kill them all.
Instilled by this idea, people living underground even believe that moving underground to such a very suitable place for survival thousands of years ago was the best decision in human history.
And Xu Xin and Xu Ying, who moved them underground for unknown reasons, became their saviors of mankind.
"But... this is just what ordinary people think, right?" Li Wenxi retorted, "Ordinary people do live a prosperous life and have no need to return to the surface. But the senior people who control this underground world have probably realized that the resources of the underground world Has it been exhausted? At least, the resources in the underground world they have explored have been exhausted.”
Xu Ying was speechless.
This is what worries her the most.
How long this underground world can last, the managers of this human world know best.
After Xu Xin and Xu Ying sent everyone underground, they specially selected a few people with high authority on the ground at that time to implement centralized power.
Rather than simply centralizing power, the state at that time may have been more like imperial power.
In the chaotic state at that time, imperial power was the most suitable system. In that critical period, the remaining human beings had just arrived in the underground world and were waiting to be reborn. Who cares about human rights, equality and freedom.
Accept the arrangement, or die if you don't obey, it's that simple.
And this system has been extended to the present. In other words, the current human rulers are basically the same families that have been passed down for thousands of years.
Of course, over the past thousand years, the ruling class has not always satisfied the people as it does now, and riots have not occurred in the underground world. But because Xu Xin was still there at that time, he took Xu Ying across many points in time, and basically everyone would Suppress the situation before problems arise.
Therefore, this system has continued.
The continuation of this system is also to prepare for humans to return to the ground. I believe that one day in the future, people will see the bright sunshine again.
But there are also shortcomings to this system.
When the ruling class is basically hereditary or abdicated, there will be no gaps in their information.
In other words, the ruling class of this underground world knows too much.
They know the truth that happened thousands of years ago, and they also know that the ground is not as scary as people rumored. On the contrary, it is the place where human beings should live. They know that living under the blue sky and white clouds is the destination of human beings.
Rather than being driven to this underground world and just taking things as they come.
They also know their mission, which is to lead everyone back to the ground one day!
Of course, this situation did not happen before because the previous dozens of rulers had relatively weak ideas in this regard.
Like ordinary people living in this world, they are very satisfied with life in this world. As rulers, they can live comfortably for a lifetime, so who would want to leave.
But this time the rulers are different.
They already know that the existing proven resources in the human base cannot last much longer.
In this case, if they are responsible, they will naturally do something for the humans living in this human base.
Even if they don't have such a strong sense of responsibility, they still care about their families and future generations like ordinary people.
Maybe the resources will not be exhausted in their generation, but what about their descendants...
Are they going to leave a chaotic world to their descendants?
Although Xu Ying had considered this point of view before, now that she thought about it, the more she thought about it, the more likely it became.
It's simply the truth...
"If I were one of those rulers, the easiest way to know how to return to the surface would be to capture the two 'gods' Xu Xin and Xu Ying who have appeared in various areas for thousands of years. ?" Li Wenxi also stood up from the sofa and looked at the two statues erected outside, "It's a pity... you are not the Xu Ying who brought them here."
...I actually am. I didn't tell you the truth just because I was afraid of scaring you.
Xu Ying muttered in her heart.
"Moreover, if I were them, I wouldn't be able to place all my hopes on the so-called 'gods' that only appear once every few decades or even hundreds of years. I would also... try to contact the ground."
"...Contact with the ground?" Xu Ying's expression was a little gloomy.
It was one of the worst-case scenarios she had considered.
Who on the ground can contact them?
Of course not the survivors who were treated like monkeys.
It is obvious who can be contacted.
Alien invaders!
This group of human rulers, who have not tasted the big stick of alien invaders in a thousand years, are likely to do such a thing!
They may naively believe that the alien invaders will accept their negotiations and give them a place to survive on the surface.
But in Xu Ying's opinion, this is absolutely a fantasy.
Totally impossible!
After experiencing the collapse of the world for three hundred years, she once again witnessed the end of mankind in this world. It was impossible for her to believe that the group of alien survivors would coexist with humans.
Even if it is impossible to harm them at the human level, they are disgusted and uncomfortable with humans. Except for the necessary ones, they want to remove all humans from this world.
Their feelings for humans are somewhat similar to how humans feel for cockroaches.
Although cockroaches will hardly cause any harm to humans, even if they fall into the pot, the protein will be six times that of beef after being cooked, but...
Humans are naturally disgusted and even frightened by cockroaches.
For most people, it is impossible for them to accept cockroaches.
If cockroaches could be eradicated, most humans would probably simply choose to exterminate them.
Only a very small number of people know that cockroaches also have value. So they will collect cockroaches and conduct a series of experiments to benefit the human population.
The survivor is such a position for that mysterious voice.
Therefore, it is completely impossible to expect the alien invaders outside to accept a full 100 million humans!
Will humans coexist with 100 million cockroaches, or give 100 million cockroaches an area to live in?
This kind of place can only be found in a laboratory.
The laboratory does not need as many as 100 million, so if humans really want to reach an agreement with alien invaders from the outside, the best result is probably that most of the 100 million people will be killed, and the remaining Human beings have become the objects of play like ordinary survivors from the outside world.
Not even as good as a survivor.
After all, things are rare and valuable, and if there are too many, they will definitely not be taken seriously.
"...This approach is simply the most stupid behavior..." Xu Ying bit her lip and then made up her mind, "No, I have to go see them and ask them about the situation! I hope they haven't done anything stupid yet. Things are coming!”
"Huh? You...are you going by yourself?" Li Wenxi was stunned for a moment, and then said worriedly, "No, they obviously want to catch you, and if you just go there like this, aren't you surrendering yourself to a trap? And, if they really Already in contact with the alien invaders..."
"Don't worry, don't worry about my safety." Regarding this, Xu Ying was quite confident, patting her chest and saying, "If I want to leave, they can't keep me, and they can't hurt me. Me.”
As long as human beings have not acquired the ability to be equivalent to time and space, then she is invincible.
But...
"What should I do? I'm a little afraid of society..." Xu Ying suddenly squatted on the ground, holding her head and said, "How can I negotiate with them?"
She wasn't very good at handling this kind of thing.
In this span of a thousand years, Xu Xin basically did this kind of thing. Although he would bring her with him, she was not interested in it. Basically, she would get distracted or even sneak away while Xu Xin was doing business. .
Moreover, although she has indeed lived for more than three hundred years in that future that has become false, she has always been a member of the core team, and the people she can come into contact with in the core team are all older than her. The person is either her brother or sister.
She spends most of her time with a group of older brothers and sisters, and a brother who dotes on her very much.
In this case, even though she has lived for so long, her character has always been so cheerful and out-of-the-box, like a child.
He also knows nothing about negotiation.
"This..." Li Wenxi didn't know what to say.
"Forget it, I want to convince people with virtue!" Xu Ying stood up suddenly and waved her fist, "If they don't obey, then beat them. There is nothing that persuasion with virtue can't be dealt with!"
"Ah... um... what about me?" Li Wenxi pointed to herself, and then pointed to two statues not far apart outside, "Am I just going to stay here? It's safe here, there won't be any problems, right? ?”
"Don't worry!" Xu Ying said confidently, "It's surrounded by... In short, it's very safe here! As long as you don't leave this villa more than a hundred meters, no one will find you! Okay, sister-in-law, I'm leaving ! ”
"Hey..."
Li Wenxi wanted to ask something else. Suddenly, a purple-black vortex appeared under Xu Ying's feet. She fell into it instantly and disappeared into the vortex.
"She is really resolute..."
……
On the other side, Zeng Tao contacted Xu Xin.
"Shi Wanyun is already awake, come here quickly!" (End of Chapter)
