Chapter 1415 The Goodness and Evil of Human Nature!

From noon to evening, Lao Zhang and Luo Xiang, who went out to inquire about news, brought back some bad news.

"Because of the impending disaster, tens of thousands of people are gathering here every day to get the protection of the golden eagle. We arrived early. It is estimated that in a few days, there will be more people stuck here. More than ten times!”

"Although the internal review is not closed now, it is almost closed. We can only review a thousand people entering the city every day. At this rate, it will take at least a week for us to get our turn!"

"I mentioned to the guard that we have the correct answers to those questions, but he told me that of the 200,000 people blocked here now, at least 150,000 people have said the same thing to me."

"It's so scary. I heard that there was an armed fight two days ago, and hundreds of people died."

"The land route is currently building defensive checkpoints to resist disasters, so it can only be accessed through water."

"..."

As he listened, the smile on Somo's face slowly faded.

Although he had guessed that this situation might happen before he came, no one expected that it would deteriorate to this point. More than 200,000 people were blocked in front of the checkpoint and could not enter the territory, and there were dozens or hundreds of people in the distance. Thousands of people are on their way.

If a tide of beasts enters through the waterway after the disaster breaks out, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"A territory with a population approaching 100 million can only review a thousand people every day?"

Thinking of this, Sumo turned his head and stared at the place that suddenly became noisy not far away.

At noon this was still the outermost part of the floating community, but by now it had stretched back nearly a hundred meters.

Generally speaking, the guards of the golden eagle would not come to such a peripheral place to maintain order.

But now, Sumo saw dozens of figures wearing yellow uniforms.

They were questioning some people around several sampans, and they didn't know what the specific situation was.

Not long after, after a burst of cheering, nearly thirty people on two of the sampans were taken away by the guards.

Lao Zhang looked envious, "They are the lucky ones, they were chosen by the golden eagle."

"Lucky one?"

"Hmm, the golden giant eagle will select some good performers among the survivors to enter the territory directly without review every day. Sometimes it will pick the survivors in the middle, and sometimes it will pick the survivors in the periphery... What a pity, We were so close and didn’t get picked.”

"Is there any other way to say this?"

Sumo frowned. He seemed to understand why the boat was blocked.

On the grounds of review, the survivors who came from earlier were not allowed to enter and the entrance was blocked.

In the name of selection, it also gives the survivors a certain amount of hope, so that people on the periphery also hope that they will be selected, and are unwilling to turn around and leave, blocking the exit.

Why are everyone stuck here?

The answer is ready to come out.

“Do they have anyone registering survivors’ information?”

"Yes!" Luo Xiang nodded quickly: "Although the review speed is very slow, the registration is quite fast. I have already submitted all our basic information."

"Does the information ask about route level, physical fitness, combat ability, material reserves, etc.?"

"Hey, uncle, how did you know?"

Luo Xiang was a little surprised. The items Sumo mentioned in the registration information were more important than the origin.

The registrar specifically asked not to commit fraud, otherwise you will be directly disqualified if found out.

"So, you won't write on it that we can use guns, have certain supplies, and are in good physical condition, right?"

"Yeah yeah."

Luo Xiang said with a smile: "If we screen the survivors based on their quality level, we will definitely be able to select them."

"It's over."

Su Mo couldn't help but raise his head, this silly boy was really simply terrifying.

Luo You, who was next to him, also reacted. He was also speechless and patted Luo Xiang angrily.

"Didn't I tell you not to make your own decisions? Are you in a hurry to die?"

"I just reported information, and I didn't commit any fraud. What's wrong?" Luo Xiang retorted vehemently before realizing the problem.

"Oh, this..."

Luo You looked at Sumo helplessly, and after receiving a nod in agreement, he continued: "This is a naked conspiracy. I didn't expect that the golden giant eagle would do this. It has ruined our previous expectations for the super territory."

"Silly boy, they gathered so many people here and refused to let them in. They didn't think there might be a traitor among these people, but they planned to turn us into cannon fodder to prevent disaster."

"What?"

While Luo Xiang was still thinking, Lao Zhang finally came to his senses and showed a horrified expression.

Before, they were still thinking about whether they would be captured as strong men after entering the golden giant eagle to resist the disaster.

As a result, now they have no intention of letting people in and arresting them, but just regard everyone as a strong man.

If you say so...

"The better our physical fitness and the stronger our combat effectiveness, the lower the probability of being selected?"

"It's not smaller, it's zero." Luo You shook his head.

He looked towards the place where the two boatmen had just been taken away. At this time, many survivors had gathered around, fighting for control of the two sampans.

But soon guards in yellow uniforms came over and directed the ship to retreat from the rear.

Luo You's eyes became more and more complicated, and his mind started to have random thoughts.

If we really observe external performance and randomly select people to enter, then there is still some hope.

But if it was just a show, the people waiting here would probably be miserable.

"No, it's impossible that we are the only ones who thought of this, and others didn't realize it, right?" Luo Xiang was still a little stubborn, and had a little fantasy about the Yusanjia territory.

After all, in the communication on the world channel, in addition to the Tianyuan territory of the human Su Shen, the Yusanjia territory has become the greatest hope of mankind.

"So, this is an open conspiracy." Luo You replied, "Now you know, what can you do?"

"I..."

Luo Xiang hesitated twice and couldn't speak.

After realizing the truth, he chose to stay, save his physical strength and combat effectiveness as much as possible, and prepare for disasters. As long as he can survive after the war, he will have the opportunity to join the Golden Giant Eagle Territory.

But if he wants to make trouble with this?

The guards of the Golden Giant Eagle will probably come at the first time and execute him on the spot to set an example.

Of course, there is another choice, leaving quietly.

Under the premise of not making a fuss, the departure of a few people has no impact on the overall situation.

In the distance, there are still countless "cannon fodders" who are coming with hope, ready to show their fists in the Golden Giant Eagle.

Is this the truth of the wasteland?

Luo Xiang felt a little cold all over, and the feeling of being forced by Su Mo into the cave to fight with the frogman, and walking on the edge of death every time, came to his mind again.

He knew what kind of emotion this was.

Helplessness, struggle, despair, unwillingness, forced to accept...

How could so many negative emotions come together in this seemingly peaceful environment?

Seeing Luo Xiang, who was finally about to get out of the psychological shadow, fall into autism again.

Su Mo pondered for a while, and several plans appeared in his mind.

It is difficult for ordinary people to enter the Golden Giant Eagle Territory, but it is actually very simple for him.

The fastest way is naturally to contact Tianyuan Territory and Golden Giant Eagle, indicating that there are people from Tianyuan among the people waiting outside, and let them accept them.

If there are only a few people, the Golden Giant Eagle will definitely set out to pick them up immediately without even checking.

But in this way, the identity will be exposed, which is not in line with Su Mo's original intention.

Of course, apart from this method, there are many other ways to enter.

For example, find a way to bribe the guards, and send the answers to the questions through the guards to the Golden Eagle territory. As long as the person asking the questions has verified it, he will naturally be qualified to enter.

Even more violently, sneak into the Golden Eagle territory directly, find the questioner to verify, and then let him send an invitation letter to invite people.

Compared with Su Mo's current ability, these methods are as simple as eating and drinking.

However...

Do you really want to sit back and watch so many ordinary survivors on the periphery become cannon fodder to resist disasters?

As a lord, Su Mo can understand the thoughts of the federal lords behind the level.

If this hole is opened today, allowing outsiders to enter and take refuge at will during a disaster, it will be too unfair to the survivors who have entered the territory to contribute before.

These people came when the disaster happened, and left again after the disaster.

However, the Golden Eagle has to spend a lot of resources to resist the disaster, and the survivors inside must also unconditionally contribute their labor.

Over time, the gap will only get bigger and bigger.

Moreover, the current population of the three royal families' territories has basically reached the upper limit of the capacity. If they continue to recruit survivors and plunder the population of those small and medium-sized territories, it will only result in all the eggs going into one basket.

If a targeted disaster occurs, it may not be solved by the death of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands.

However, even if he can understand the thoughts of those lords, Su Mo does not think that what they did is all right.

The strength of human beings lies in unity and cohesion.

Whether facing alien races or disasters, if unity is achieved through deception, the combat effectiveness that can be exerted in the end may not even reach 30%.

And this is why the alien races dare not take action at all now.

At present, the cohesion of major human gathering places has reached its peak. Everyone will fight for their homes regardless of everything, even if they sacrifice their lives.

But if the things done by the three royal families' territories are instigated by those with ulterior motives, it will set off a huge wave of distrust.

"I have to do something. At least hiding is not what I should do."

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

Su Mo had always thought that this sentence was used to kidnap people morally, but when it really happened to him, he found that taking the so-called responsibility was actually an almost instinctive behavior.

He was strong enough, and a handy thing could make him happy and at ease.

Why not do it?

Su Mo lowered his head and pondered, and rarely expressed his opinion directly, which immediately made the other people on the ship confused.

Perhaps they were used to Su Mo's various arrangements during this period, and they were really confused without anyone to command.

"What should we do now? Should we leave?"

Luo You frowned and his face turned pale: "After the disaster, it should not be difficult for us to enter again."

"Where to go? There are only four days left. It's too late for us to return to the Xingye Alliance, right?"

Lao Zhang frowned and said in a deep voice.

The only place he could think of was the old place of the Xingye Alliance, and then the grid territory where he heard the news.

As for Su Mo's territory, he mentioned it two days ago. It was in the central plate.

With only four days, it would definitely be too late to rush back.

Luo Xiang and Luo Jiao did not say anything. After learning the truth, the two children's worldviews almost collapsed.

The darkness of human hearts is, in a sense, more despairing than the wasteland.

"Let's leave. We can't stay here." Su Mo thought for a while.

"I remember when I came here in the morning, there were many abandoned villages on the shore?"

Lao Zhang nodded, "Yes, I heard that they were all built by the Golden Eagle in the past, but later because of the plate split, the outer periphery was abandoned in order to better build a defense line."

"Are we going there to stay until the disaster is over?"

"I don't know, let's go and see the situation first, our boat..."

"This is easy, just exchange directly with the people on the outer periphery, maybe we can get a bigger sampan."

Lao Zhang patted his chest and said.

Basically, it is difficult to get out after queuing for an hour, and the sampans coming from behind will completely block the retreat.

However, it is this way of blocking the queue that gives survivors room to operate.

Just exchange sampans on both sides, and the people behind can go directly to the front.

"Then you go and change, we'll leave now."

Having been used to riding guerrilla boats, Lao Zhang didn't feel bad at all for the "broken" sampan he bought at a high price.

Soon, four or five men followed Lao Zhang in the night and jumped over from the sampan behind.

"Brother Zhang, your position is good, but are you sure you want to change with us?"

The short man who was called over slapped his thigh and excitedly called Lao Zhang a brother.

They came late, and there were at least seven or eight hundred sampans in between. It would be great to be able to change directly!

"I have to ask you this question. Your sampan is almost twice as big as mine. Let's change..."

"What's the use of being big? Can it crash into the territory of the golden giant eagle?" A stick-like man curled his lips, but the short man glared at him when he said it.

Damn, what if he doesn't change after you say that?

Fortunately, Lao Zhang didn't seem to care, and the two sides quickly reached a cooperation, and four or five men also helped to move all the supplies on the boat.

This is also Lao Zhang's cleverness. He deliberately found a main exchange position that was not short of supplies, saving a lot of unnecessary trouble.

"Brother Zhang, if there is any trouble later, come to us directly!"

"Okay, Brother Liu."

Lao Zhang nodded readily, and then he and Luo Xiang turned the sampan in the puzzled eyes of others.

"No, brother, are you really going to leave?"

Some people were surprised when they changed the sampan, and now they finally couldn't help but be surprised. They have come to the door and gave up?

"Then what else, waiting here to die, and not letting us in."

Lao Zhang smiled and replied, but his eyes caught a person on the next sampan who stood up suddenly.

The posture was almost that if he dared to talk nonsense again, he would immediately give him some color.

Damn, there is really surveillance?

"No more talking, no more talking, we have to go, otherwise we won't find a place to sleep tonight."

After the voice fell, the sampan paddled very fast, and immediately pulled several meters away from the queued sampans.

However, Lao Zhang did not dare to stop, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he was dozens of meters away, and turned his head to look behind.

The few people who had just stood up from the sampan were still staring at them.

The moonlight fell, and a little cold light appeared on one person's waist, which made people shrink their necks.

"What's wrong? There are many people who have given up recently. It's normal for them to complain a few words." A figure said strangely.

"This group of people is a bit strange, unlike those before." A voice immediately followed.

"What's strange about that? I think they are quite happy to exchange their small sampans for big ones?"

"No, they seem too calm, especially those who are on the boat."

"Really? I didn't pay much attention to that, but except for the rowers, no one else complained."

"Forget it, they've already left, so there's no point in thinking too much."

"That's right, as long as they don't think about making trouble, what they plan to do has nothing to do with us."

"Yeah, keep on working, it won't be so peaceful in two days."

After saying that, I saw the sampan finally crossed the 100-meter warning distance and left without a trace of drag.

Several figures then sat down calmly, as if nothing had happened just now.

...
