Chapter 887 "Scale Man" (16)(1/2)
Almost no additional explanation is needed, everyone can understand why there is an outbreak at this time.
Rather than saying that the large army is migrating, it is better to say that they are in exile. Without a clear destination, humans and scales are running around every day. Even if they set up temporary camps, they are often awakened from their sleep by sudden natural disasters.
At such moments, the scale people who are better able to adapt to the environment and have stronger skills tend to react faster. If the scale people just pack their bags and hit the road immediately, it won't take much time and they can get out of danger as soon as possible.
But the same cannot be said for humans. Many times they have been involuntarily held back in their actions, causing the scale humans to suffer losses as well.
Resentment and anger gradually accumulated with every incident, and the scale people were divided into three factions. Some scale people could not suppress their restless thoughts and wanted to enslave mankind; some scale people headed by Rui had the completely opposite position and believed that if they did this
, how is that different from how humans treated scale people before, so I firmly oppose it.
The last group of scale people transcended racial distinctions and felt that all the old, weak, sick and disabled who were holding them back should be left alone. Whether they were humans or scale people, as long as they delayed the progress of the large army, it was wrong and they should be left to fend for themselves.
Forget it.
As for the attitude of the scale people, the reactions from the human side are also different.
Some people emphasized to Rui that they have skills and talents that, even if they cannot use them now, they will definitely come in handy when they start infrastructure construction in the future;
But more people did not go to Rui, but started to form a group around one or a few scale people. Human beings worked hard to show their own values, various values, in order to seek the protection of strong scale people, just like slaves and
slave owner.
This kind of primitive "transaction" has happened several times in private, and Rui can't stop it, because without waiting for anyone to refute, the human being who has sold his body and dignity will take the initiative to say that he is voluntary. Even if it is something you and I agree on,
As a leader, Rui also lacks the qualifications to intervene.
But now, such "transactions" and "encircling people" have been brought to light.
"Red Jiu, Min Hua! Stop! What are you doing, robbing openly?!" Shu Zhen stopped a scale man who was about to walk towards the human resting place.
"What an open fight." The leader Chijiu waved his arm, "They give me what they want and I protect them. This is fair!"
"You..."
"You have time to shout here, right? Why don't you take responsibility yourself? If you don't understand it, just drag them into your 'scope'!"
Chijiu spat on the ground, and his face, which was almost completely covered by scales, showed a sarcastic look, although the dense scales made him feel a squirming nausea no matter what expression he made.
"We have to protect these soft-footed shrimps every time, and think that we are freeloaders? There is no benefit at all. I work in the company and get paid! Why, now we have to rely on noble moral character and self-consciousness?"
Chijiu sneered, "I just have low quality and no morals. What's wrong?!"
Shu Zhen was speechless for a moment, and could only watch as Chijiu, Minhua and the others turned around and stomped around to find Rui.
Chijiu walked all the way into the place where humans settled. Small groups here have become a common practice. People with scales in their social relationships now stay firmly with scales, which invisibly shows that "they have their own masters."
Comfortably avoiding Chijiu's scrutinizing gaze.
The red dove passed by them and continued to move further away. His eyes stayed on humans, especially women, and quickly locked onto a family of three with no scale people around them.
"Hey!"
He walked over carelessly, grabbed the young girl's arm without any explanation in her frightened eyes, and pulled her to stand up.
"I remember your name is Hemerocallis? Follow me! My name is vacant now, and you and your family can protect me! What do you think, do you want to follow me?"
Hemerocallis was anxious and angry, and tried to shake her hands, but the strength of scale people was generally much greater than that of humans, so she was restrained and unable to move.
"Sir, you can't do this...! Chief Rui has said that this is..."
Hemerocallis's parents stood up, their eyes full of fear and worry, but they did not dare to conflict with Chijiu at this time, so they could only communicate in a friendly manner.
"Hey, what's the difference? Don't you believe in my ability? Let me tell you, even if Pan Hong is the strongest among you humans, in terms of strength, I am much stronger than him!"
Chijiu raised his head in disdain and didn't bother to say more. In his opinion, this was a good deal. As long as he was loyal to him, the Hemerocallis family could survive safely until they arrived at the new oasis.
"Okay, okay, come with me!" He dragged Hemerocallis outside forcefully.
I don’t know who started this rule. Those who have “encircled people” have to show their “human resources” in front of everyone and tell other people that “these are mine.” Chijiu is going to do it now.
Such a thing.
"Let her go!"
An extremely angry voice sounded, and Chijiu stopped.
What is in front of me is Amber, who was in Rui's team before the disaster, and is a powerful scale man except Apo and Aliu.
In terms of strength, Chijiu is indeed incomparable.
When it comes to relationships, the two usually work side by side and have a good relationship.
Seeing Kohaku's face distorted with anger, Chijiu was stunned and laughed.
"Oh! Do you like this? Well, here it is!" He smiled heartily and threw the daylilies in the direction of Amber.
Amber subconsciously caught her beloved girl, her expression was full of surprise and a little dazed, as if she didn't expect it to go so smoothly.
"Huh? What's wrong."
Chijiu scratched his head, smiling sincerely and kindly. He reacted after a few seconds, waved his hands and said with a smile, "Oh, what are you thinking about? We are the same race! It's just a woman. How dare I rob it from you? If you like this, just take it. Go ahead, I’ll just pick something else and it’ll be over!”
A matter-of-fact attitude, the same tone as allocating livestock, bread and water.
The adult and young audiences in the theater who could understand the plot all had their blood pressure rise.
There were still tears hanging from the corners of Hemerocallis's eyes. She went to look at Amber, but Amber was stunned.
For a moment, he felt as if... there was nothing wrong with it?
Yes, when he was still the Scale Man that everyone called him to beat, the Hemerocallis family believed in him, took care of him, spared no effort to help him cover his whereabouts, and gave him precious survival supplies. But now that the Scale Man has become stronger, he can In return for the girl who is in love with him, he can also take care of her family.
Isn't this the same as being helped before...?
The trust and expectation in Hemerocallis's eyes disappeared little by little after meeting Amber's eyes.
She looked at Amber in disbelief. Amber was stunned, and there was even some shyness and joy on his face, as if he had been accused of being married.
"Well, then, Hemerocallis, from now on we..."
His words were interrupted by a slap from Hemerocallis.
"Our family never looked down on you when we helped you!"
Hemerocallis cried out in disappointment and sadness, "We respect everything about you! We respect your self-esteem and freedom! What are you doing now!"
Amber froze on the spot, the force of that slap was just an itch for him, but at this moment, it was like a sharp lightning that split his cheeks.
"I..."
He murmured, but Hemerocallis cried and threw herself into the arms of her parents.
Rui arrived at this time, and Hemerocallis' family of three returned to the place where they had just rested. Amber stared at them blankly and wanted to walk over, but was persuaded to leave by the complicated expressions of the two elders.
Something is indeed changing quietly.
Position, status, mentality...including those condescending pity and arrogance that are invisibly rooted in the heart.
The camera turned to night, and Pan Hong put a small amount of food and water in front of Yan Bing with a cold face.
This guy is not dead yet, because the researchers at the base have fallen one after another when the climate suddenly changed. Now if you want to know the research information over the past few years, you can only pry it out from Yan Bing's mouth.
Yan Bing chuckled lightly.
Pan Hong, who had already turned around, paused and then turned back.
He glared at him.
"It's really ugly." Yan Bing said with a leisurely smile, "Look at your appearance now. Neither you nor Rui know how to manipulate people's hearts and make good use of their power."
Pan Hong clenched his fists.
"You don't need to say these words. Leader, the rulers are here to protect everyone's existence. Rui is much better than you at this point."
Yan Bing let out a string of weird laughter.
"What's wrong? You are no better to humans now. At best, you have turned cattle and sheep into domestic pets. You are still emphasizing that Rui, as a leader, is different from me. You are really being sentimental..."
He smiled so much that he even lowered his head, then raised his head suddenly, "The essence of this world is the tyranny of power!"
Yan Bing's eyes sparkled with crazy light and he said sarcastically:
"I heard Rui's speech. He only knows this, and he keeps talking about 'creating an environment where humans and scale humans can coexist peacefully'... Hahaha, how is that possible!"
He put on a hypocritical smile: "You don't know, right? Human beings can't give birth, only human women can. So you will soon have internal strife, and the final outcome will be to kill all the human men and keep the women." , just raise them and have children..."
Pan Hong suddenly trembled: "Impossible!"
"What's impossible?" Yan Bing said scornfully, "What can humans provide now? They have no energy, and they don't even have basic self-preservation capabilities. Their value is only physical and spiritual. They must either dedicate their bodies or provide emotional needs. ?"
"Nonsense."
Even Pan Hong, who was always talkative, couldn't stand listening and turned around again.
"What? You've been poked, and you don't want to hear it anymore?"
Yan Bing laughed and said, "Aren't you Rui's pet now? You follow him around all day long. I think he is very happy to have a silly dog."
Pan Hong's fists and entire arms were bursting with veins: "What did you say——"
A burst of flame made his anger disappear immediately. Rui Han walked out of the darkness with a sullen face, and the cold sword tip was nailed near Yan Bing's throat.
"Ignore him."
