Chapter 544: Humans Are Like Cockroaches

"this……"

Xu Ying hesitated a little.

"Is there any difficulty?"

"Well...it wasn't there at first, but now it is..." Xu Ying rubbed her temples with some headaches, and looked out the window at the stone statue not too far away.

She brought Li Wenxi to the human stronghold in the underground world. She originally wanted to take Li Wenxi around, let her check if there were any minerals around, and then tell the ruler of the human base the location of these resources, so that they would not be so panicked. .

Because she had some doubts about whether the rulers of this underground human world would have any other ideas.

You must know that the area where human beings live now is indeed much wider than the original area.

Although the surface area of ​​the earth has increased by a hundred times after the overall expansion of the earth, the scope of this activity is pitifully small based on the overall size of the earth today, but...

Have those alien invaders really never discovered this place?

On the earth thousands of years ago, even an ultra-small uninhabited island would be invisible under the surveillance of satellites.

And the technology of alien invaders is much stronger than that of humans thousands of years ago.

Of course, if it is said that this human base has been discovered, she still prefers not yet.

First of all, the human beings living here have not been affected in the slightest. If alien invaders find this place, then those bastards...will they let so many humans 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 even tens of meters or even a few meters in height, and some areas are even completely isolated and closed by stone walls.

Exploring in this underground world, it is impossible to use satellites, which are convenient and flying in the sky, to observe.

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 super doubled. Even if the human satellite technology on the earth was developed a thousand years ago, the deep sea is still a very mysterious place for them.

Therefore, there is still a high possibility that the human base has not been exposed.

After all, the alien invaders didn't plow the underground world too deeply. Most of the underground world is dark and basically lifeless. Who would take the effort to explore such a vast underground world.

As long as the explored mineral resources are enough for them to use, they don't need 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 for experimental control of the bloodline of giant beasts.

At the same time, their human base is located in a remote location, and it is basically impossible to find it here.

"But..." Li Wenxi frowned after hearing Xu Ying's words, and speculated, "It is indeed 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. ? Of the 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 having such a collective death, when we first brought them to the surface, we deliberately did not include any documents related to the ground and the blue sky. Take it down, they should have no concept of the blue sky now, right? They even say..."

Xu Ying's tone was a little unconfident, and she looked up at the prosperous scene outside the window.

This is the most prosperous city for human beings today, and most people live a carefree life.

People's living conditions are relatively full, and there is no need to make a fuss about going out of the ground.

For most people, the blue sky and white clouds are just a legend, just like modern people don't want to see the dinosaur saber-toothed tiger.

There is no such requirement.

I am living well now, why should I go to the ground?

Can I live as comfortably as I do now on the ground?

Moreover, some works over the millennium have basically popularized the hazards of the ground, which makes most people actually have extreme fear 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 living.

The temperature difference between day and night can even reach more than ten degrees, the sun can cause very strong damage to the human body, the extreme weather that appears on the ground from time to time will kill thousands of people at a time, and there are all kinds of irresistible beasts and flying monsters, as well as……

Crazy alien invaders will slaughter them all.

Under the indoctrination of this kind of thinking, people who live underground even think that it is the best decision in human history to move humans to such a very suitable place for living underground thousands of years ago.

However, Xu Xin and Xu Ying, who transferred them underground for some unknown reason, became their saviors.

"But...is this just the thinking of ordinary people?" Li Wenxi retorted, "Ordinary people do live affluent lives, and there is no need to go back to the ground, but the high-level people who control this underground world may have noticed that the resources of the underground world Has it been exhausted? At least, the resources of 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.

At that time, after Xu Xin and Xu Ying sent everyone underground, they specially selected a few people with high positions on the ground at that time, and implemented 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 everything was waiting to be done. Who cares about your human rights, equality and freedom.

Accept the arrangement, die if you don't obey, it's that simple.

And this kind of system has been extended to the present, that is to say, the current human rulers are basically aristocratic families that have been passed down for thousands of years.

Of course, for thousands of years, the ruling class has not always satisfied the people like it is now, and the underground world is not without riots, but because Xu Xin was still there at that time, he took Xu Ying across many time points, basically Squeeze the situation before it's about to go wrong.

Therefore, this system has continued.

The continuation of this system is also to prepare for the return of human beings to the ground. I believe that one day in the future people will see the bright sunshine again.

But this system also has disadvantages.

When the ruling class is basically hereditary or abdicated, their information will not be interrupted.

In other words, the ruling class of this underground world knows too much.

They know the truth thousands of years ago, and they also know that the ground is not as scary as people rumored, on the contrary, that 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.

Instead of being driven to this underground world and just letting things happen.

They also know their mission, which is to lead everyone back to the ground one day!

Of course, this did not happen before, because the previous dozens of rulers had relatively weak thoughts on this aspect.

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. Who would want to go out.

But this time the ruler is different.

They already know that the existing proven resources in the human base can no longer last much longer.

In this case, if they have a sense of responsibility, they will naturally do something for the human beings living in this human base.

Even if they don't have such a strong sense of responsibility, they still care about their family members and future generations like ordinary people.

Maybe the resources will not be exhausted in their generation, but what about their descendants...

Is it to leave a chaotic world to their descendants?

Although Xu Ying had considered this point of view before, thinking about it now, the more she thought about it, the more she felt it was possible.

It's just the truth...

"If I were that group of rulers, the easiest way to know how to get back to the ground would be to catch the two 'gods', Xu Xin and Xu Ying, who have appeared in various regions for thousands of years. ?” Li Wenxi also stood up from the sofa and looked at the two statues erected outside, “Unfortunately...you are not the Xu Ying who brought them here.”

...I actually am. I didn't tell you the truth because I was afraid of scaring you.

Xu Ying muttered something in her heart.

"Moreover, if I were them, it would be impossible to put all my hopes on the so-called 'gods' who only appear once every few decades or even hundreds of years. I would still... try to contact the ground."

"...to contact the ground?" Xu Ying's expression was a little gloomy.

It was one of the worst scenarios she could have considered.

Who on the ground can communicate with them?

Of course not the survivors who were brushed 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 for thousands of years, will probably do such a thing!

They may well have been naive enough to think that the alien invaders accepted their negotiations to give them a place on the surface.

But in Xu Ying's view, this is absolutely a fantasy.

Totally impossible!

After experiencing the collapse of the world for three hundred years, and witnessing the end of mankind in this world again, it is impossible for her to believe that the group of alien survivors will coexist with human beings.

Even if they can't be harmed at the level of human beings, they just feel disgusted and uncomfortable with human beings, and they want to eliminate all human beings in this world except for the necessary ones.

Their affection for humans is somewhat similar to that of humans for cockroaches.

Although cockroaches can hardly cause any harm to humans, even if they fall into the pot, the protein after cooking is six times that of beef, but...

Human beings are naturally disgusted and even panic about cockroaches.

For most people, it is impossible for them to accept cockroaches.

If cockroaches could be eradicated, presumably most human beings would directly choose to let them go extinct.

Only a very small number of people know that cockroaches are also valuable. So they collect cockroaches and do a series of experiments to benefit the human population.

And the survivor is such a position for that mysterious voice.

Therefore, it is completely impossible to expect the group of alien invaders outside to accept a whole 100 million human beings!

Will human beings coexist with 100 million cockroaches, or divide an area for 100 million cockroaches to allow them to survive?

This kind of place can only be in the laboratory.

The laboratory does not need as many as 100 million, so if human beings really want to reach an agreement with the alien invaders from the outside world, the best result may be that most of the 100 million people will be killed, and the rest will be killed. The human beings in the world have become the objects of teasing like ordinary survivors from the outside world.

Not even as good as a survivor.

After all, things are rare and expensive, and if there are too many, they will definitely not be taken seriously.

"...This is the most stupid behavior..." Xu Ying bit her lip, then said with determination, "No, I have to meet them and ask about the situation! I hope they haven't done something stupid yet. things come!"

"Oh? You...you go by yourself?" Li Wenxi was stunned for a moment, and then said worriedly, "No, they obviously want to catch you, so if you go there like this, isn't that self-inflicted? And, if they really Already contacted by alien invaders..."

"Don't worry, don't worry about my safety." Xu Ying was quite confident about this, patted her chest and said, "If I want to leave, they can't keep me, and they can't hurt me I."

As long as humans haven't acquired the ability to be equivalent to time and space, she is invincible.

but……

"What should I do, I'm a little socially afraid..." Xu Ying suddenly squatted on the ground, holding her head and said, "How can I negotiate with them?"

She's not very good at handling this sort of thing.

In the span of a thousand years, Xu Xin basically did this kind of thing. Although she would bring her with her, she was not interested in it, and basically would get distracted or even sneak away when Xu Xin was doing business. .

Moreover, although she did live to be more than three hundred years old in that future that has become false, she has always been a member of the core team, and those who can be contacted by the core team are all older than her People, either her brother or sister.

Most of the time is spent with a group of brothers and sisters, and there is a brother who dotes on her very much.

In this case, even after living for so long, her personality has always been so cheerful and unrestrained, like a child.

He also knows nothing about negotiations.

"This..." Li Wenxi didn't know what to say.

"Forget it, I want to convince people with virtue!" Xu Ying stood up abruptly and waved her fist, "If they are disobedient, they will be beaten. There is nothing that cannot be dealt with by conquering people with virtue!"

"Ah... well... what about me?" Li Wenxi pointed to herself, and then pointed to the two statues not far outside, "Am I going to stay here? Is it safe here? There won't be any problems, right? ?”

"Don't worry!" Xu Ying said confidently, "This place is surrounded by... Anyway, this place is very safe! As long as you don't leave this villa for more than 100 meters, no one will find you! Okay sister-in-law, I'm leaving !"

"Why……"

Li Wenxi wanted to ask something else, but suddenly, a purple-black vortex appeared under Xu Ying's feet, and 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!"
