Chapter 2244
The whistle sounded again, this time not an alarm but an assembly order.
All the people in the camp, except the guards on guard and patrolling, surrounded the giant tree, circle after circle.
Mo Ye didn't know how many people came. These people surrounded the giant tree in the center, arranged in a neat and orderly circle, and stood still.
What brought them together here was the light cocoon hanging on the giant tree. Although the method of tree burial was a bit new to Mo Ye, it was not surprising.
What really surprised Mo Ye was the reaction of these people. Among the crowd around them were relatives, friends, and comrades-in-arms of these corpses. He didn't show much sadness, and accepted the death notice of his family and friends very calmly.
Although death is indeed an ordinary and unavoidable thing, when it happens to oneself or the people around you, there will always be uncontrollable emotions.
Mo Ye felt that even for an unreliable team leader like Yan An, if one day she suddenly died unexpectedly in front of her, it would be difficult for her to remain indifferent.
Yan Datuan of Imperial Star suddenly sneezed.
No matter who they are, father, mother, wife, child, friend, elder brother, facing these corpses wrapped in light cocoons hanging on the giant tree, there is no sadness in their eyes, only relief and expectation.
Such a reaction is really abnormal.
In the center of the circle, close to the giant tree, a group of warriors wearing tree vine skirts and totems painted on their faces are of different heights and genders. Jumping, up and down, jumping left and right, humming in a language that Mo Ye could not understand.
"Well, what are you, oh, that's it."
The strange and vague pronunciation is accompanied by the sound of special instruments and drums.
These warriors danced and chanted in strange poses, while others held hands and looked up at the giant tree devoutly.
The singing became louder and louder, and the rhythm of the drums became more and more intense.
And the green spirit standing in the middle of this group of people spun around like a dancing elf, and the algae-green long hair fluttered as it turned.
Mo Ye immediately sensed a powerful life energy flowing out of the green spirit's body and heading towards the giant tree, part of it dissipated into the air, affecting everyone around him.
The leaves and branches sway slightly when they feel the life energy.
And the person who pulled up a circle was now looking up at the giant tree, his eyes unblinking.
Even though the light was dazzling, and even goggles could not completely block the light, these people still looked up at the giant tree firmly.
Mo Ye believes that the life energy of the green spirit has a relaxing, soothing and paralyzing effect on these people, and the relief of physical discomfort naturally includes the stinging caused by looking directly at the light source for a long time.
Such a formation really doesn't look like a simple burial,
"Xiaoqi, what do you think they are doing?"
Xiao Qi didn't answer this question immediately but said, "Master, I have a new discovery, the population record book of the Misty Camp, the birth and death rate of the population here are the same, from the beginning of the record until now, the value has never been Change."
Xiaoqi found the record book in the hands of the attendant next to Lu Ling, an old bark book, it can be seen that it has gone through many years, and the population status of the misty camp is recorded in detail on each page.
In addition, there are many customs, historical events, etc. about the misty camp. These things that should have been kept secret were randomly placed on the desk.
People here don't keep these things a secret.
"Regardless of the totals, the death and birth rates are the same and have never changed."
That is to say, for every person who dies, there will be a newborn, and vice versa, the appearance of a newborn means that there must be a death.
Only in this way can we ensure that the population base here will never be inconvenient.
It is not difficult to understand that Peters Rubik's Cube took great pains to control the population of the Mists.
This seems to be a necessary thing, both in terms of energy consumption and ease of management.
But what about those deacons who were captured in the thick fog of Peters City and transformed into ferocious beasts at the last moment?
It is not impossible that they were not taken to the foggy area but captured to another place.
Just as various speculations were running wild in Mo Ye's mind, the clapping, stamping, singing and dancing team stopped, and the scene was suddenly silent, no one made a sound, they just looked up quietly and piously.
Green Spirit raised her hands high, and her life energy became more and more powerful as her movements, and she knelt down on her knees after the rotation.
The green spirit knelt down, and the others followed closely behind. You hold me, I hold him, and all the people in the circle hold hands.
Mo Ye felt that life energy was intensified because of the unified strong mental power fluctuations, and the activity of life energy accelerated.
Kneeling with a clatter, Mo Ye suddenly became the commanding height above sea level, with no hindrance to his sight.
"Master, they are all kneeling down, do you want to?"
Standing upright at this time seemed so unique, Mo Ye decided to stick to it and not kneel, how could it be possible to kneel indiscriminately until the situation was cleared up.
No one stood up to criticize or order Mo Ye to kneel down. They looked up at the giant tree devoutly.
The light cocoon on the giant tree shrinks at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the light cocoon that originally had the height of an adult gradually shrinks into an ellipse, shining with light.
When the chanting started again, the light cocoon fell off, and the corpses hanging on the giant tree were gone, replaced by babies one by one.
They were wrapped in a mass of liquid and curled up.
The corpse transformed into a newborn.
Mo Ye witnessed this unbelievable scene with his own eyes. Those people who died not long ago and their bodies had not started to rot were hung on trees, but within a short time they turned into babies, or embryos. Mo Ye didn't know what to do. It is more accurate to call what you see in front of you.
These babies have not yet been born, and their heartbeats and fluctuations are connected to this tree.
Is this the masterpiece of Peters Rubik's Cube?
The people in the Misty Camp didn't have as many questions as Mo Ye. When the baby was formed, they left and went back to their homes. The giant tree square that had gathered many people quickly returned to its usual cleanliness.
Such a huge battle actually went home after finishing, and no one stayed for a while.
Mo Ye stood motionless and looked up at the child hanging from the tree branch. This method of reproduction is really unique.
Green Spirit looked at the thin young girl in a long robe staring at the giant tree with surprise and curiosity, and explained, "This is a ceremony for the end of life and the birth of life in our camp."
Dead people, one after another corpses were suddenly brought back to life when they were illuminated by the light. Mo Ye racked her brains and did not think of any similar magic. As for whether this belongs to the category of science, she has no way of knowing. Look, at least this is not the scientific method of reproduction that Xiaoqi knows.
"Death and rebirth are a community. The birth of one life will be at the cost of the death of another life, and the end of a life also means the beginning of a new life. This is the way of life continuation in the misty camp."
Mo Ye understood why the population in the Misty Camp never changed. As long as one person died, a newborn would be born, and vice versa.
"Do you want to change this situation?"
Mo Ye doubts that she can do any help in reproduction. She knows nothing about this type of magic. She doesn't know if there are any records of related magic in her magic handbook. In the special environment of Si Rubik's Cube, even if there is related magic, the possibility of it being effective is very weak.
"No, Your Excellency Mo Ye, you misunderstood. We think this is a very fair way of reproduction and does not need to be deliberately changed."
Mo Ye breathed a sigh of relief, so why are these people looking forward to aliens so much?
"We are trapped in this fog. According to the prophecy, aliens are the only hope that can lead us out of the fog."
No one wants to be trapped in a hemispherical cover forever, worrying day and night just to survive.
Mo Ye was silent and didn't know how to respond. He vaguely felt that Luling's words had something to do with whether she could leave Peters Cube as soon as possible.
But taking these people out of the fog, does it mean taking them out of the foggy area or out of the Peters Rubik's Cube?
Isn't this the Peters Rubik's Cube drawing a piece of pie for the people in the misty camp that will never be eaten?
If everything here is arranged by the Rubik's Cube system, why do you want to give people here such things as "hope of escape"? Shouldn't they completely give up hope and just stay in this ghost place and thrive? ?
Of course, Mo Ye's doubts cannot be directly told to Green Spirit. Those in the Supervisory Committee in Peters City know about the existence of the Peters Rubik's Cube, but in this place, these people in the misty camp seem to know nothing about the Peters Rubik's Cube.
"Your Excellency Mo Ye, you are the hope of newborn freedom."
Mo Ye only felt that there was a lot of pressure on his shoulders. What exactly was Peters Rubik's Cube playing? Was this also intentionally arranged?
The baby on the tree branch grows much faster than in the mother's stomach, growing almost every moment.
There is no distinction between day and night, and the calculation of the time in the misty camp is based on the radiation intensity. From one to twenty-four, each number represents the decreasing radiation intensity.
The period of time when the radiation is the lowest and the most stable is the time when the people in the camp leave the hemisphere to go outdoors, while most of the other time everyone stays in the hemisphere.
Mo Ye didn't go anywhere and sat under the giant tree looking up at the baby light cocoon on the branch. The life energy of the giant tree was very different from that of the green spirit.
It didn't take long, maybe an hour or two after the whistle sounded, the baby in the light cocoon had grown into a juvenile figure, huddled up quietly in the light cocoon with eyes closed.
Mo Ye found that the races of these newborns were different, and they didn't seem to have any biological or blood relationship with the person who died originally.
At least that's what Mo Ye saw.
The race has become different, how could it be biological.
After that, time flew by, and the babies hanging on the giant tree were teetering, and they were about to mature and fall to the ground.
Mo Ye didn't make Mo Ye wait too long, bang bang bang a few times, when these babies finally matured, one after another fell to the ground like ripe fruits, and cried loudly, Mo Ye really believed it at this time. People here can really be born from trees, and the time required for reproduction is shockingly short.
A team of people in uniform stepped forward and carried away the naked newborn very skillfully.
On the second day, Mo Ye saw a group of children who appeared to be seventeen or eighteen years old gathered together, and someone was responsible for teaching these newborns, starting from walking and running.
Although they have the bodies of adults, these children still walk slowly and fall down after taking a few steps. This state does not last long. The speed of their learning and adaptation is astonishing, just as fast as their physical growth.
The infancy and adolescence of the people in the Misty Camp are extremely short, and they enter adulthood very quickly, which seems unreasonable to Mo Ye. The miraculous and incredible way of reproduction is already used to the people here.
Mo Ye enjoys the treatment of distinguished guests in the Misty Camp, and the people here have nothing to do with fierce beasts.
There is often a spatial connection between Peters City and the misty camp. People in both places know each other's existence, and they take it for granted that the other party is a fierce beast.
The Mist Camp will send hunters into Peters City to hunt. For Peters City, this is of course the invasion of beasts, and Peters City sends troops into the dense fog area to clean up the beasts and strengthen defenses. From the perspective of the people in the Mist Camp The ferocious beast invaded without giving up.
This seems a bit convoluted. Both parties think that the other party is a beast. Frankly speaking, in Peters City, Mo Ye saw the beasts appearing but could not recognize them as humans.
But in the misty camp, Mo Ye couldn't mistake it.
This state is not accidental but intentional, and of course it is the Peters Rubik's Cube system itself that causes this difference.
The calm days didn't last long, and the fog surge reappeared later in the day.
This time, Mo Ye did not retreat to the hemisphere, but took a solid taste of the fog tide.
When the fog tide appeared, the spatial energy fluctuations also became unstable. At this time, there was probably a large-scale spatial connection between Peters City and the fog camp.
The consequences are naturally extremely tragic, for both parties.
In the eyes of the other party, they see each other as fierce beasts, and the battle after meeting is naturally a life-and-death fight, and no one is willing to let the other go.
Mo Ye stood in the territory of Peters City and saw the people in the Misty Camp, fierce beasts, fierce beasts, fierce beasts, all they saw were fierce beasts.
However, stepping over and walking to the space area of the misty camp, the perspective changes in a second.
In this way, the fierce beast that was on the train last time was also a person from the Misty Camp. Is it really human beings with that kind of combat power and magic skills?
The doubts in Mo Ye's heart have not been completely eliminated.
