Chapter 156 [Enjoy your meal tonight!]
At this point, Carter paused for a moment.
Shi Qian could sense his emotions through the outer layer of iron.
This is too heavy a burden for anyone...
The fact that the number of people on both occasions was accurate to the last digit proves that they have always kept these two events in mind.
After this point, no one should want to continue the war, but given the current situation, it's clear they haven't stopped.
Carter sighed, looking utterly dejected.
Then he continued speaking.
Everyone remained silent, but before the news could spread, news from other places arrived.
At almost the same moment, battles of varying degrees broke out in different dimensions.
People gathered again in front of the shadowy sandpit, trying to come up with a solution, but no one could think of a good one.
The space was peaceful for a while, but every day, people were dying.
They have nothing left to consume.
There is hardly any greenery to be seen within this dimension.
The rainforests that once boasted towering trees gradually shrank and became ordinary forests.
As the winds blow across the grasslands and plains, they begin to dry up, and the green gradually fades away.
Those forests are humanity's last oases.
The forgers withdrew from the forest. There was no other way; if they continued to allow the population of a race to be consumed, this place would eventually perish.
Even so, it only delayed the death of the oasis; it was still unavoidable.
How much more do they have to lose?
The husks would crawl out every night to search for living beings.
At this moment, they still cannot bring themselves to harm their fellow countrymen who are passing by.
They come to the surface at night, so let's go underground at night...
Relocation is a major undertaking.
No one had a smile on their face.
They drove themselves into a corner...
Yes, survival is a problem. What else could they possibly give up to ensure the survival of their race?
some...
lose yourself...
Fang Xusheng brought back the corpses of the dead.
Before they were corrupted by the night and turned into corpses.
Energy conversion...
This technology was shared with others.
but...
Nobody wants to.
Consuming things transformed from the corpses of one's own companions...
No one would willingly commit suicide to nurture others...
However, there is another thing that can continuously generate corpses.
war!
That's really a "good idea"...
Consume the population to feed the remaining people.
The food available in the natural environment is no longer sufficient to supply everyone.
Fangxu Life has been compressing its own body, trying to improve itself as much as possible in a mechanical direction.
Consume as little energy as possible, and use the saved resources for research and to share with others.
Nobody wants to die in this dimension...
By this time, the plains were almost entirely covered by yellow sand.
The other two places weren't much better.
The wind erosion transformed grasslands into hills, and the original trees became shrubs, with the plants shrinking and growing thorns, as if the plants themselves did not want to die.
What needs to change will change.
The rainforest has transformed into a grassland thanks to its excellent original environment. The tall jungle trees have gradually changed their shape, growing into forms that are better able to store water and survive.
Those forests that were originally uninhabited have now become highly sought-after.
But the oasis is also being consumed and eroded...
Furthermore, they would also appear at night during the usual time.
However, something different appeared in the yellow sand.
Those deserts, once filled with negative emotions, have also been corrupted by these illusory things.
It was in Shi Qian's eyes that those blocks made of [sand and soil] were...
All evil originates here, and all resentment gathers here.
No one knows where these things came from, and by the time people discovered this kind of ground, it had already reached a considerable size.
At night, people are more prone to making mistakes.
Those sudden battles at night were something they never wanted to experience again.
The ground was sealed off at night.
Those unspeakable things are a monstrous flood to all life in this dimension.
Layer upon layer of yellow sand covered them, so they could only dig their living areas deeper and deeper.
After all... there are just too many people here...
After a prolonged period of hunger, they turned their attention to energy conversion.
At first, no one was willing to swallow the energy that was so useful to the body.
But the feeling of hunger is unbearable.
The number of mummies that existed in the past gradually decreased as they were consumed day by day.
With food available, few people starved to death anymore.
But they knew that this was not a long-term solution.
Everything that has been preserved in the past will eventually be completely consumed...
Where will the new energy come from?
They were forced to revisit their original proposal: war.
It's a sad truth, but all three groups do indeed possess sufficient fighting power...
Technology, animals, magic.
So, who will fight?
Who would willingly face death?
Then...
Leave it to fate...
Blind boxes exclusively for older people...
The time was also agreed upon: the hottest part of the afternoon.
Before dark, I took their food home with me...
But this time, there is no Shadow Sand Pool; it has long been lost in the river of time.
Few people believed that prophecy, though they still passed it down.
At first, the crowd was furious, and everyone fought with all their might...
But soon, the unseeing corpses revealed a bloody reality to them.
Doing so is pointless.
But someone has to die for more people to live.
Let's treat this as training...
Soldiers who have signed life-or-death contracts...
Over time, people get used to it and accept their fate...
Rise at dawn, emerge from the burrow, train, set off, gather water to prepare for transformation, find a clean training ground, engage in battle, the sun sets, training ends, leave with food, return home, distribute more food to the families of the dead, return to the nest, cover with blocks to block moonlight and pollution, rest in peace...
This was a day that began for all species from that time onward.
What Shi Qian noticed was the look in people's eyes when they looked at each other after each day's battle.
It has a meaning...
Enjoy your meal tonight!
Those hollow layers buried deep underground are the places where the dead once lived.
Long ago, there were just too many people...
After a large-scale reduction, it became what it is today.
But these people couldn't hold on any longer.
Oases have become so scarce that they are almost unbearable; the sandy areas are too vast, leaving little chance for survival in this region...
fortunately...
The prophecy is true...
They just need to wait...
It's been too long...
So long that people regret their actions, the world changes, and time passes...
"This...is the history of this dimension, our past, and this...is a pain that resounds to the very marrow of our bones..."
After saying that, Carter slumped down in dejection.
The word "survival" is enough to crush any living being...
