Chapter 118 Humanity in Disaster
Aguzhe also asked questions again and again. The refugees next to him seemed to have heard them and nodded secretly.
Lie Ditan became a little anxious when he saw that others did not agree with his proposal.
"Then do you think you can survive by going deeper?"
Lie Ditan retorted loudly.
"Look at the terrain ahead!"
Lie Ditan waved his hand and pointed forward.
There is an extremely narrow knife edge.
The terrain behind is extremely steep. If you are not careful, you may roll down the slope.
"The front is clearly leading to the underground!"
"Going forward, you can only go deeper and deeper!"
"Besides, it's so dark here, what if I get lost and can't get back to the ground?"
"Besides, there might be something in front of you! Don't end up not finishing the food and get into something's belly!"
Everyone was a little shaken after hearing Lie Ditan's words.
Indeed, human beings' fear of darkness exists in their genes.
Not to mention, the underground is not a field of human activity in the first place, and it will naturally cause some psychological pressure on humans. "
Lie Duitan took advantage of the victory and pursued him.
"We just need to hand over all the food and distribute it uniformly."
"Those who are strong should eat more, and those who are weak should eat less."
"At that time, after the fire has passed, the strong people will still have the strength to be the main force in finding food."
"We'll get through this together."
Lie Dutan's words made everyone a little moved.
This option seems less risky.
However, Agu Zheya's attitude remained firm.
"Kid, are you serious? This way humans can bring everyone through difficulties."
"Of course!" Lie Ditan nodded.
Aguzhe also looked at him for a while, then shook his head.
"Innocent!"
“When food is scarce, the weak eat less.”
"What if the food is gone?"
"Weak people don't eat?"
"Or are the weak ones being eaten?"
Aguzhe also looked around at the old, weak, women and children, looked at them and said: "At that time, the weak people already didn't have enough food, and they had no power to resist when facing people who had enough food!"
"I'm afraid, they will become 'two-legged sheep' and be slaughtered by others!"
Agu Zheya's words seemed to sting a few strong men in the dark.
They looked at each other, their eyes twinkling.
But Lie Ditan was furious beyond belief.
"How can you think of people so heartless! God of the grasslands! We are now one!"
Agu Zheya was unwilling to say anything more, so he simply turned his head and said to everyone.
"I want to continue exploring forward."
"Those who are willing to act together can come with me."
"I will never force you if you don't want to."
The crowd became restless and separated into twos and threes.
Many young and strong men stayed on Liedatan's side, and of course there were also a small number of old, weak, women and children.
But on Agu Zheye's side, the old, weak, women and children have become the main force. Strong men, including Agu Zheye, there are only seven people.
Among them were the emaciated mother and son, and the Tibetan mastiff that was already balding with age.
The two groups said goodbye.
Liedatan and his group sat down on the spot, feeling the heat wave pouring in from above, praying that the disaster would pass quickly.
Lie Dutan looked at the backs of this group of people and laughed loudly: "Let me see how many of you can survive!"
However, Agu Zheya's group of people didn't even look back, showing no nostalgia.
…
Agu Zheya and this group of people will survive.
Li Ge knew this.
Because Li Ge will protect them until they reach the end of the tunnel.
Because they are the talents Li Ge needs.
It's not that this group of people is very talented.
Li Ge has always believed that how to choose is more important than what you have.
In such an era of great evolution, Li Ge needs people who are more radical and courageous.
Because evolution is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat.
Or, die of exhaustion on the way forward.
Or, fall behind others, drift with the crowd, and eventually be abandoned by the times, turning into nourishment for other evolvers.
These people, for whatever reason.
They chose to move forward.
However, Li Ge was willing to give them a chance.
If they can reach the end of this tunnel, they will have their own right to survive.
At the end is Li Ge's secret base.
They can recuperate there and receive the protection of "gods".
…
In a certain corner of the country of Elia, the place is also filled with smoke.
The wind brought bursts of heat.
In the sky, there were also burning ashes of vegetation.
The fire spread with the wind and continued to engulf the earth.
Not far ahead is a village.
The fire spread quickly and vowed to devour it all!
The withered grass was quickly swept into the fire and became part of the flames!
until……
The flames climbed to a place that was already charred and blackened, and were stopped abruptly.
Burn nothing to burn.
The already charred land seemed to still have some warmth, but it refused to bear the fire from outside and stubbornly kept it out.
It is an artificially burned flame isolation zone!
Inside is a safe place on this grassland.
The land here, the people here.
Safe and sound.
Li Ge looked at the blocked fire not far away and finally felt relieved.
"Although I already knew that this method would definitely be effective, when I saw it with my own eyes, I still felt differently."
Li Ge murmured.
Unfortunately, the people standing next to him would not respond to him.
Because, it is just a walking corpse that has lost its soul.
Li Ge turned around and let out a short breath.
"Tch, it's boring!"
"I'd better wait for the arrival of new residents!"
…
This fire has attracted the attention of concerned people (countries).
Among them, Kyushu is definitely included as a neighboring country of Eria.
Kyushu did not actually realize that there was any mastermind behind the fire. They were just worried about whether the fire would spread to the country.
After all, the two countries are adjacent to each other, and the areas bordering them are also grasslands.
Of course, it is impossible for such a thing to enter the special affairs research department.
Today, the Special Affairs Research Department has only one research topic.
——Sheng Liru.
That's right, Sheng Liru has been in Qingzhou City in the past few days, solving some big problems for local wealthy businessmen, and instantly caught the attention of the top officials of the Kyushu Kingdom.
"Everyone must already know about this person's experience, so we won't go into details here!"
"It is worth noting that this woman named Sheng Liru does possess extraordinary power."
"Moreover, she has clearly expressed her respect for the City God. Before officially settling the matter, she even offered sacrifices to the City God with great fanfare."
"Currently, all extraordinary people appearing in the country are related to the 'City God'."
"However, we have never definitely seen or captured definite evidence of the existence of the 'City God'."
…
When the senior officials of the Kyushu Kingdom discovered Sheng Liru's existence, they immediately caused an uproar.
According to the investigation, although Sheng Liru did not show a significant improvement in physical fitness, she did show many incredible abilities.
For example, close your eyes and look at objects through a wall.
Lighting fire out of thin air and so on.
Therefore, after a heated discussion, Sheng Liru's neighbor suddenly changed.
That was a young and handsome guy.
He knocked on Sheng Liru's door.
"Is this Master Sheng?"
The young man showed a shy smile.
"I have admired you for a long time, may I become your master?"
This young man is of course a spy sent by the Kyushu Kingdom.
…
Half a month later.
The fire finally passed.
Under the crack in the ground, Lie Ditan and his group sat there with dull eyes.
They haven't seen the light for a long time.
It was not only the darkness around them that devoured them.
And it comes from the heart.
Although their mental state was not good, none of them looked extremely hungry and depressed.
They are not hungry, just thirsty.
Two women were in the corner, shivering.
Originally women were supposed to have five.
Today, there are three less.
Of those three people, two and a half have now become bones.
The remaining half is in the pot.
The long flame is burning, and there are bits and pieces of meat on it.
Without the soup in the pot, the meat can only be cooked hard.
A strong man smacked his lips.
The taste of blood in his mouth made him frown.
"There's no water."
He picked up the water bag at his waist.
The water bladder is very deflated.
The strong man opened the stopper of the water bag, and a stronger smell of blood filled the air around him.
He raised his head and took a sip.
Then, grinned.
There is scarlet plasma on the teeth!
That's not water!
is blood!
A woman next to me finally couldn't bear it anymore and lowered her head...
"vomit--"
Unfortunately, she had been hungry for a long time and there was nothing in her stomach.
What he spit out was a pool of green bile.
The strong man next to him slapped him away.
"Wasting food? I'll beat you to death!"
Then, there was a merciless punch.
In an environment of naked cruelty, women cannot defend themselves.
Because it is useless to argue.
Men don't care if women waste food.
He just wanted to hit people for fun.
The woman's cries and begging for mercy echoed in this long and narrow space.
Suddenly, the man who had just drank "water" stopped him.
"stop fighting!"
"The current situation, the waste of food, is unforgivable!"
"There happens to be no water, just her!"
The woman who heard this was horrified.
"I was wrong! I was wrong!"
She screamed and backed away wildly, trying to squeeze herself into the narrow gap.
However, several powerful men grabbed him and pinned him to a protruding rock.
One of them pressed her head and another her feet, stopping all possibility of her struggling.
Then, a cold light lit up in the darkness.
The woman's struggles gradually subsided.
The precious blood flowed out of her body and was collected into another container.
In the darkness, the cold light illuminated every twisted face.
"I thought you would give me another possibility..."
Li Ge sighed silently.
"You...let me down."
