Chapter 2764: Towards the Devil
It is very important for Doomsday to go to the new world to introduce funds and projects, but Duran seems to have forgotten to tell them that they have to pass through the demon realm on the way to the new world.
There are quite a few people who signed up. Many people do not necessarily want to develop Doomsday, but want to live in another place. After all, can other worlds be worse than Doomsday? So as long as you change the world, it will definitely be better.
Of course, there are also many people who think that Doomsday does not need outsiders to develop it. They are fine and do not need to introduce funds. They instinctively do not want people from other worlds to interfere with them. Even if it is the end of the world, they still do not want outsiders to point fingers and develop the world with them.
However, development is inevitable, and not developing is a dead end. From ancient times to the present, countries and civilizations have never said that they can win without development. Development has always been the real future.
And from a historical perspective, it is guaranteed to win from backward and underdeveloped areas to advanced and highly developed areas. The so-called backwardness defeats the advanced, and barbarism defeats civilization. This is inevitable.
Because barbarism attacks from the bitter and cold land to the civilized land, every piece of land conquered is income, and every piece of land conquered is profitable. From the perspective of civilization attacking barbarians, every battle is a loss. Even when colonizing the New World, the colonists only focused on the land that the indigenous people had developed. I have never heard that the colonists would kindly help the indigenous people develop it.
Therefore, undeveloped land has no value unless there is gold, silver and oil in the land.
Even in the 21st century, those undeveloped lands, even if roads and railways are built on them, can be destroyed by a heavy rain. And if you want to maintain these roads, you have to spend money continuously, and the money you spend may not be more than what you earn.
What humans can really control is the developed land, and people pay for maintenance costs every day. As for undeveloped places, it is like seeking death for humans to enter. There are no 24-hour supermarkets in those places, and there are no community hospitals everywhere. All kinds of wild animals and natural environments are the gods of death.
Therefore, it is inevitable that barbarism will defeat civilization. From an economic point of view, this is a sure win. On the contrary, it is a loss-making business.
Duran reiterated the importance of development. Only developed land is meaningful to humans, and this has been the case since ancient times. Development requires funds and technology. The doomsday is now full of snow and the ground is all frozen, which is actually easy to develop.
Compared with those lands that are frozen in winter and muddy in spring, frozen soil is more secure. As long as someone is willing to invest money and people, plus scientific and technological archaeology, the doomsday is also expected in the future. So don't be rebellious. Not developing is the real doomsday.
Finally, 30 people were selected, smart and determined people, including Ikari Gendō and Deputy Commander Fuyutsuki. The two of them also want to look around and understand what is going on in this world.
"Maybe you can understand the origin of the apostles through this journey." The Dead Sea Scrolls did not say how the first apostle Adam came from, nor how the world tree came from. Anyway, it was assumed from the beginning that the world tree and Adam existed, and then other apostles appeared, and then the apostles ate the fruit of life, and the last apostles ate the fruit of wisdom, and then this world became.
In fact, this kind of mythological description does not solve any problems.
Just like the myth did not solve where God came from, of course, generally speaking, there is no need to think about the existence of God, because God is the beginning of everything. But if you have to ask, they can't answer.
If you have to ask where the apostles came from, the Dead Sea Scrolls can't answer it.
Zhuangzi asked a similar question. What he said seemed like a tongue twister, like a nesting doll: There is a beginning, there is no beginning, there is no beginning of the beginning...
It's just to get to the bottom of it, and we don't know what it was at the beginning? Buddhism says it is the first cause, and this thing is the origin of everything like God.
But the first cause and God cannot explain the apostles. In the world of EVA, the apostles are just integrated with God's religion, and the apostles have become God's creations, otherwise the first apostle would not be called Adam. But was Adam made by God? Where did Adam come from, no one knows.
In fact, even Duran doesn't know where Adam came from. Maybe Adam is the child of time, a special life born from time, so he can restart the world. So Adam is just a node in time, not a specific existence, but just happened to be encountered by humans, so he was recorded.
Of course, these are just Duran's guesses. Adam may also be an ordinary cosmic life form. After all, in the world of EVA, there are even mysterious creatures on the moon, perhaps aliens with special abilities, and then this alien gave birth to the apostles. And Adam himself is a child born from the universe.
However, these cannot answer Gendou Ikari's questions. He wants to explore the truth of the world. Perhaps he can reunite with his wife the moment he grasps the truth. If he is given the power to restart time, he will definitely create a world with only himself and his wife.
This kind of love is really terrible, so terrible that it can take the whole world as a price. Who said that adults know the importance of things better than children? Gendou Ikari is even more ignorant than his son.
"Everything is ready, so put on the uniforms. These uniforms have force fields that can protect us from passing through the demon realm. Avoid being eaten by demons." Duran said.
"Demon? What demon?" Kaji Ryoji said that this thing didn't sound like a good thing.
"Didn't I introduce it? This gate is called the Demon Gate, which connects to the demon realm. We have to pass through the demon realm first and then enter another world. This realm is more brutal than the Dirac Sea, and there are a group of demons who kill people like flies and drink blood." Duran said: "I don't think I did introduce it, but these are all trivial matters. After putting on the uniform, you will all be abyss walkers. You can dance on the demon's grave at that time, don't be afraid."
The uniform is divided into two sets, a tight uniform plus a special windbreaker, and then carry a knife, you can transform into the Farran Undead Team in "Dark Souls".
Even without a knife, it looks like a despicable outsider.
It's too late to quit now, so I can only bite the bullet and move forward.
"Are you ready? Let's go to the beach when you are ready." Taking the subway of the city-state, you can reach a sea area with an underwater volcano. Because of the underwater volcano, this sea area has never frozen and maintains the state of hot springs. However, this is sea water, so it is not comfortable to soak in hot springs.
This is also the place where the famous Hades scene of "Flame Fist" took place. The female director and Agni stood in the sea water and threw the head of the high priest for fun. However, the plot has changed, so it did not happen.
Now this huge creature like a mountain appears in this sea area, opening its bloody mouth and waiting for a group of people to enter.
This is really a demon, and of course it looks like an apostle, anyway, it is very scary.
The door is in the belly of the behemoth, which has the taste of soul games, making people wonder what kind of bad taste this is.
If Adam is the son of time, the creature in front of him is the son of space, a great life cultivated by Denise, inheriting the aesthetic style of the apostle, with a strange appearance, like a humpback whale.
