Chapter 216 No Humans

Meng Chao fell into deep thought.

I don't know if it's an illusion, or because of the strong spiritual interference of the spar veins, Lin Chuan's life magnetic field is a little abnormal. Meng Chao always feels that after going deep into the ground, his eyes are shining strangely from time to time.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about Lu Siya's father, who used my father's death and the birthday gift he gave me to play a role in creating his own character that values ​​love and righteousness."

Lin Chuan restrained the light in his eyes, and said calmly, "Lv Siya's father is irreproachable in handling the affairs behind my father - he has called my father his 'best brother' on many occasions, which is also very Take care of our family's life, especially me who received a birthday present.

"Discovering my talent, he spared no effort to cultivate me carefully, gave me the opportunity to study in a noble school, and even took me to live in his home for a while during the critical period of competing for the head of the mining company. After a while, Lu Siya and I became very good friends.

"After I set foot in society, Lu Siya and her father also spared no effort to help me. Of course, I can become the God of Weeping Killer today without their support.

"Even if this is really an act of hypocrisy, Lu Siya's father's acting skills are superb, almost perfect.

"However, none of this can replace a flesh and blood father, can you understand how I feel?

"The pain of losing a father is like a jar of fine wine buried deep in the ground. When you were young, you couldn't taste its full taste, but as you grow up, the unforgettable sting will come to your heart from time to time. Make you sleepless at night, all thoughts are lost.

"That's right, my father's death brought a lot of things to the family, and even completely changed my destiny. When he was alive, he was not a perfect and loving father, but a somewhat ugly, often covered in sweat, Even a person with a very violent temper is completely different from Lu Siya's handsome, refined and wise father, but...he is my father!"

Meng Chao nodded, thinking of his father.

Meng Yishan is a reaper. Sometimes he is tired from work and comes home before cleaning, and the smell is not very pleasant.

Moreover, when the family is in trouble and the job is not going well, the temper may not be so good.

But he was still an indispensable mountain in Meng Chao's heart.

Even now that I have awakened my extraordinary power and can kill the nightmare beast with my bare hands, I still feel inexplicably at ease when I smell my father.

"When I was an ignorant teenager, I could ignore the difference in status and go crazy with Lu Siya, but people will grow up and realize the differences between each other."

The corners of Lin Chuan's eyes twitched, and he said with difficulty, "Especially since I became an extraordinary person, I had the experience of fighting in the wilderness and exploring mineral veins. Looking back and examining the prospecting mission that killed my father, I found many suspicious things that were eager for quick success. Perhaps, if Lu Siya's father could report to the group's senior management in advance, send a larger prospecting team, and choose a more secure route and method, the accident could have been avoided.

"I don't want to say that it was Lu Siya's father who killed my father. After all, he took the lead and risked his life, and he didn't use coercion, but used generous rewards to attract miners and prospectors to join voluntarily. , everyone is very aware of the high danger of the mission, life and death are at stake, and they are willing to bet and admit defeat.

"What's more, what Lu Siya's father did is not her fault at all, even if her father's choice back then was flawed, it shouldn't affect my friendship with her.

"But human beings are not absolutely rational animals after all.

"In principle, I know she is innocent.

"Emotionally, I can't get along with her as purely as I used to.

"What's more, every time I see her, I will inevitably come into contact with her father, the man who may have killed my father, but took care of and cultivated me.

"So I hid from her for several years, until this time, she went deep into the tombstone forest where I have been active all year round, and couldn't hide anymore, so I reluctantly joined her prospecting team.

"I thought this action would ease the relationship between each other, but now I regret it, because seeing Lu Siya's unscrupulous style of acting in order to achieve her goal, I can't help but think that in the depths of the ground back then, Lu Siya Is it the same with Siya's father, in order to find the spar veins, he drove people like my father to take risks again and again, and finally killed everyone?"

Meng Chao saw that he was getting more and more excited as he talked, gnashing his teeth, and he was completely different from his usual gentle and weeping killing god. He hurriedly supported his shoulder and said, "Brother Lin, are you okay? Is the spiritual magnetic interference too strong? There are fluctuations, do you want to meditate deeply and take a rest?"

"I'm fine."

Lin Chuan took a deep breath, regained his composure, and said earnestly, "I tell you these things just to remind you that your life belongs to you as well as your family's. If you want to get ahead, of course you should work hard, but you can only do it for yourself and your family." , anyone else, is not worth it.

"So, in the next mission, if you encounter danger again, remember that the most important thing is to save your own life. Neither Lu Siya, me, nor anyone in the team is worth your life to save, otherwise , you died, she completed the task, gained wealth, honor and power, and cried twice at your grave, is it meaningful?

"As for whether you want to join the Qingtian Group or other superpowers, you can do it, but remember this sentence, fight only for yourself, you can sell your time, skills, wisdom and even dignity, but never give your life to anyone, understand ?"

"I know."

Hearing this, Meng Chao couldn't help but said, "Brother Lin, you really misunderstood, the reason why I risked my life to save Miss Lu just now was not because I wanted to work for her.

"Including joining this prospecting mission, I have nothing to do with her. I just want to fight side by side with you and end this battle as soon as possible.

"Like you, I don't appreciate Miss Lu's behavior, nor do I believe in her promises or bewitchments, but there is one thing I think she is right, that is, whether you can find the red jade veins, is crucial to winning the northern line. The offensive is very important, and as a 'sensible person', she has an irreplaceable role in finding the red jade veins, which is why I was so desperate just now.

"I don't care how ambitious Ms. Lu is, and I don't care how much benefit she can get from the ruby ​​jade vein. At least, she can end the extreme weather and heavy fog on the ground, and let our steel torrent rush into the Broken Star Lake area and Tombstone Forest, a hearty victory is good for Dragon City and the entire human civilization, isn't it worth our efforts?"

Lin Chuan stared at him for a long time.

Suddenly, he grinned and laughed silently.

He laughed maniacally, covered his face with his hands, and shrugged his shoulders, as if dancing a clumsy and weird dance.

Meng Chao frowned: "Am I wrong, so ridiculous?"

"No, I'm not laughing at you, I'm just laughing at my old self, because my original thoughts were exactly the same as yours."

Lin Chuan finally had enough of laughing, and moved his palms away, revealing a face with tears of laughter.

There was still a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

His eyes were as sharp as a cold blade.

As if he had finally made up his mind.

"Listen, Meng Chao, if you really believe in Lu Siya's promise and fight for money, strength, power and all kinds of resources, and even die for her, even though it's stupid, there is still a slight possibility to get what you want. something you want."

He leaned over, with a serious expression, and said word by word, "But, don't fight for 'compatriots, human beings, civilization', rather fight for Lu Siya or any specific person, some specific interests." Don't sacrifice your life for 'human civilization', this is the most sincere advice from Senior Brother Lin."

Meng Chao was puzzled, his back was covered with cold sweat: "Why?"

"Because there is no 'human civilization' at all, and there is even no 'human being' at all."

Lin Chuan said inscrutablely, then stood up, "Follow me."

He took Meng Chao out of the tent, walked through the camp, and came to the corner of the cave.

This place is full of aura, breeding all kinds of snakes, insects, rats, ants and underground creatures.

It is also close to the territory of the gargoyle mushroom. The gargoyle mushroom will release a breath that cannot be recognized by humans, but it is very easy to attract snakes, insects, rats and ants, luring them to throw themselves into the trap.

Therefore, when you gently lift the rock, you can see many wriggling insects, a detailed and micro ecosystem.

Lin Chuan asked Meng Chao to restrain his breath and observe quietly.

Most of the snakes, insects, rats and ants here have never seen human beings, are not afraid of them, and cannot even understand what kind of existence they are.

It still hunts, devours, digests and reproduces.

Soon, Meng Chao observed a small worm wriggling and devouring moss, and then was eaten by a monster in the shape of a praying mantis. The snake swallowed it whole, and the strange snake was attracted by the aroma of the gargoyle mushrooms. It shook its head and tail, and swam to the gargoyle mushrooms, the hell of slime and sharp blades.

"Did you see these monsters?" Lin Chuan asked Meng Chao.

"I see." Meng Chao nodded.

Although there is no sunlight in the depths of the ground, the spar veins exude faint fluorescence, which stimulates the visual cells of the extraordinary, and sees an incomparably gorgeous and rich world.

Lin Chuan shook his head and said, "No, there are no monsters here."

Meng Chao was slightly taken aback, thinking that Lin Chuan meant that these snakes, insects, rats and ants were too weak to be called "monsters".

Lin Chuan said, "I only see insects, praying mantises, lizards, poisonous snakes, spiders and fungi. Tell me, where are the monsters?"

Meng Chao said, "Aren't they all monsters?"

"Yeah?"

Lin Chuan smiled slightly, "Assuming that they are all monsters, they are suddenly endowed with intelligence comparable to human beings and the ability to communicate with each other by some mysterious power, and then, the poisonous snake among them said to the lizard, 'Brother Lizard, we should fight for the monster Civilization, fight to the death with human civilization', what do you think this lizard that has just been swallowed by a poisonous snake will think?

"If the poisonous snake goes one step further and says, 'Brother Lizard, for the great, sacred, and noble monster civilization, each of our monsters must do our best, fulfill our duties, and contribute all our strength, so you should take the initiative to jump to my Come from my mouth, sacrifice myself, and make me stronger, so that I can kill more humans—this is for the sake of thousands of fellow monsters'!

"Do you think lizards trust snakes?"
