Chapter 2936 When Night Falls (Twenty-Eight)

Chapter 2910 When Night Falls (Twenty-Eight)

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they continued to talk in the order they had arranged before. It was even more disastrous when it came to Jenna.

Jenna and Zan, a brother and sister, were actually aliens. The planet where they were born experienced a great plague, which caused the death of their parents and relatives. Because of a chance opportunity, they came to Earth on a spaceship. Because they could not understand the language and habits of the Earthlings, they caused a lot of trouble and were finally recruited by the Justice League.

This means one thing, that is, for the Earthlings, the two of them are equivalent to semi-illiterate.

Zan is better. He likes to tinker with machinery on his original planet. After coming to the Justice League, he can help the members repair equipment, but Jenna studied geography. After coming to Earth, it is basically useless.

With the help of the members of the Justice League, they learned English, but they learned it in a mixed way. At present, they are at the stage of being able to communicate fluently, but it is still a bit difficult for them to fully understand the underlying logic of the Earthlings' speech.

Jenna's description of her life in the past few months was even more confusing.

At first, when her mind was still working, she could speak English well, but after eating, her blood sugar rose, and the oral diary was not good enough. She became more and more sleepy, and began to speak English words with alien grammar, and finally just spoke alien language.

Their alien language sounded a bit like a combination of Russian and French. It was more verbose when expressed, and the tone was flat and without fluctuations. It was just like chanting.

Jenna kept mumbling there for two or three hours, and everyone except Batman was knocked down by her.

When she announced that she had finished speaking, everyone woke up from a dream. Wonder Woman gave a thumbs up to Batman who remained awake, and Martian Hunter wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth. This time he didn't hold on because he couldn't understand the alien language either.

Superman's speech was detailed, but it was still exciting to listen to his experience of sweeping away all the monsters and demons. It was a bit too difficult for Jenna, who couldn't understand anything, to ask them to stay focused all the time.

The Flash was so sleepy that he woke up only after Superman pushed him. After waking up, he was also looking like "Who am I? Where am I? What should I do?"

"Barry, go first." Batman knocked on the table and said, "You are injured. You can go to the side and lie down for a while after you finish speaking."

The Flash cast a grateful look at him, because he was indeed a little uncomfortable sitting here, and sleeping on the recliner next to him would help him recover.

The Flash began to talk about his experiences in the past few months.

He has a high level of education and is a bit talkative. He used to speak very fast, but now he is injured and feels very uncomfortable, so his speaking speed is naturally slow.

Because he was injured, it was not good for others to ask him to speak quickly, and combined with his talkative wording habits, he talked about this thing for a while, and then talked about that thing for a while, and then he turned around and said that the thing he said before was wrong, or added details to something he said a long time ago. Anyway, it was all over the place.

Fortunately, he did not break Superman's record. He only spoke for more than three hours, and it was already early in the morning.

Everyone suggested going to bed first and continuing the discussion tomorrow, and Batman had no objection.

There were three recliners in the conference room, which were originally for members to rest, but there were obviously not enough, so the others slept on the floor. God knows where Batman got the quilt from, but everyone was not a pretentious person, so they just chose a place to lie down.

However, considering that there was a traitor, everyone did not turn off the lights, and took turns to keep watch in groups of two. The first group was Batman and Martian Manhunter.

They came to another corner of the room and lowered their voices as much as possible. Martian Manhunter said: "This plan is not that simple, right? At least I didn't see anyone lying during the day. Are you sure the traitor will reveal a flaw?"

"Of course, in fact, there is enough information that can be summarized during the day." Batman said: "I believe you can also hear that the expansion of vampires is very strange."

"You mean..."

"In theory, if an organization wants to develop on Earth, it cannot do without three factors: people, territory, and resources."

Mars Manhunter nodded, thinking it made sense. It was right to listen to Batman in this regard.

After all, although it was the Seven Giants who established the Justice League, in fact, many basic things were created by Batman. The land where the Justice League is located was bought by him, the building was built by him using the resources at his disposal, the security defense system was designed by him, and many fan activities were also organized by him. He is definitely an authority in this area.

"But vampires seem to only care about the first aspect." Batman pointed out the problem sharply, "They do have an advantage in member conversion. Only a simple ritual can convert an absolutely loyal member of the organization, but an organization is useless with only members."

"First of all, you need a scientific management system to maximize the use of the converted members. Loyalty cannot be eaten."

"Leaders must know people and assign them to the right positions, find out what everyone is good at, and then arrange them to the corresponding positions. Those who can fight will be field staff, those who can manage will be administrative staff, those who are good at speaking will be diplomats, and those who can't do anything will be unified as logistics and miscellaneous work."

Martian Manhunter nodded again. Although this is a simple truth, it is still very difficult to do it. Throughout the ages, those who can know people well and take charge of them are all wise kings.

"After the personnel are arranged, of course we need to find a site." Batman continued: "This is what makes me feel strange. The vampires have expanded for so long and have a lot of members, but they have never had a main base. "

"Maybe they hid the base?" Martian Manhunter raised a possibility.

Batman shook his head and said: "Their members are not dozens or hundreds, but hundreds of thousands. Even if a base that can accommodate so many members can hide it from The Flash and Wonder Woman, it can't hide it from me and Superman." ”

"You have heard what Superman said about his experiences before. He has been dealing with scattered incidents. There has never been a decisive battle. He has flown all over the world and has not found a large base with more than a thousand people. If a vampire has the ability to hide it, If you can catch him, there is no need to hide."

Martian Manhunter felt that what Batman said made sense. Even if there were omissions in Batman's investigation, Superman's ability to obtain information was unreasonable. He could hear the voices of every person on earth while flying in the universe, including hundreds of thousands of vampires. Gathered together, it is impossible to hide it from Superman's ears.

"Even if they hide the base, what about the resources?" Batman continued: "For ordinary people, how many resource production lines are needed to support hundreds of thousands of people?"

Martian Manhunter thought for a while and then said: "Humanity has already passed this stage. Now is the era of globalization. Daily necessities for a city of hundreds of thousands of people may come from all over the world."

"That's right. Even if vampires don't need any weapons and equipment, just to solve the problem of eating, they need to build a brand new industrial chain from beginning to end."

Martian Manhunter shuddered and said, "You mean they're going to start a human ranch?"

"The problem is that they should do it, but they didn't." Batman shook his head and said: "As far as I know, vampires can suck all the blood from a person's body at one time, and they need to eat at least once a day, which means they can eat Eat alone.”

"Suppose that the King of Vampires now has 100,000 vampires in his hands. 50,000 of them are scattered around the world and can be hunted separately. The remaining 50,000 are engaged in training and production tasks in the main base. To feed these 50,000 vampires, it will consume every day. Fifty thousand humans.”

"You can't catch so many from outside, so you have to engage in breeding. Humans are omnivores. Even if they only meet the minimum survival needs, they have to consume about 50 tons of food a day."

Martian Manhunter took a breath of cold air. For modern agriculture, 50 tons is not a particularly big number. Basically, seventy or eighty acres of farmland can solve the problem. Using agricultural machinery for large-scale farming, one person can do it for a while. That's it.

But you let vampires farm? It can only be said that the sun may not agree. Although it is not impossible to plant at night, Martian Manhunter really can't imagine a vampire driving a farm machine to plow the fields.

"The key is reproduction." Batman shook his head and said: "The age of human sexual maturity is too late. It takes more than ten years to start reproducing. The probability of dystocia is very high if you can only give birth to one child at a time. And then you can contribute from infancy and early childhood." The adult stage of blood takes another ten years.”

"If there are 100,000 vampires in the world, 100,000 living people will be consumed every day, which is 1 million in 10 days. The total number of people will be close to 40 million a year. The two countries with the highest fertility rates combined will only produce 100,000 new vampires every year. Just increase the population.”

Martian Manhunter suddenly realized what Batman was talking about - vampires' current strategy of crazy transformation of members was actually destroying themselves.

Even if they are omnipotent in the sky and on the earth, and all the countries on the earth can't do anything to them, but if they continue like this, the biggest enemy they face is not human beings, but famine.

Humans can't reproduce at a fast rate that can support vampires.

As long as they can eat once every five days, or even every three days, there is still room for recovery.

But they eat one person a day. 100,000 vampires eat 100,000 people a day. If they expand to 200,000, they will eat 200,000 people a day. Humans on the earth can only give birth to 300,000 to 400,000 people a day. If they continue to multiply like this No one can afford it.

"I'm afraid the so-called King of Vampires has never thought about this problem." Batman said: "His order caused all vampires to start transforming members unscrupulously."

"But their transformation ritual is very simple. It takes less than ten minutes to transform one person. It is not a problem for a vampire to transform twenty or thirty people a day. This is completely exponential growth."

"Even if their base number is only a few thousand, after so many months of transformation, no one knows how many there are. I am afraid that some villages and towns with small populations have already begun to suffer from famine."

Martian Manhunter finally figured everything out, and he said: "I think this vampire king may not even know how many people they have now. If he knew, he would be surprised."

"And because the transformed must completely obey the transformer, this will further urge vampires to continuously transform humans. Who doesn't want to support and own countless slaves? Transforming dozens of people a day is a conservative estimate." Batman was worried. say.

"It can't go on like this." Martian Manhunter said: "If this rate of transformation continues, humanity will perish sooner or later."

"The extinction of mankind is no longer the biggest problem now." Batman sighed and said, "What do you think will happen if all humans are transformed into vampires?"

The Martian Hunter was stunned. He had never thought about this problem.
