Chapter 114 Give yourself a reason
If he is Lucifer, the year when the power fails, it will be its golden time to attack mankind.
But strangely, it has been dormant in South America and has never been involved in other areas.
At that time, people concluded that it might not have fully awakened, or that something restricted it and prevented it from leaving it.
The latter guess has been falsified by the current facts - it can not only leave, but also protect the guys who can leave together.
So now it looks like it is giving humans time to breathe. In other words, it does not want to force the human group into desperate situation from the beginning.
In the first few months, human countries were shirking responsibility and busy with internal strife, and did not pay enough attention to what happened on the American continent. That was the period when the fallen areas expanded the most rapidly.
After that, the empire's army and other countries' army began to resist tenaciously, establish advance bases everywhere, try to recapture the occupied areas with backward weapons and equipment, and pay a heavy price. According to data statistics, in the two months after the large-scale counterattack, the number of casualties reached an astonishing 600,000.
So after these two months, the expansion of the occupied areas temporarily stopped.
Many people think that it was the courage of human beings that shocked various species and made them see the confidence of human beings to resist to the death, so the whole country was thrilled. During that period, he himself was officially portrayed as the war hero today by the imperial authorities.
But now Li Zhen thinks about those days and comes to another conclusion.
The species did see the courage of human beings and also realized the determination of the human coalition to be ready to die. So they slowed down their offensive, but not because of fear, but more likely because...
Don't want to consume too much.
Not only do we not want to consume too many alien species, but we also do not want to consume too many human soldiers.
They seem to have regarded every living human being as a kind of "resource" from the beginning - what they need is as many "exotic species" as possible, rather than corpses everywhere.
If we look at what happened before from this point of view, many doubts will suddenly become clear.
There is indeed no mass killing in the occupied areas. Everything they do is only pollute and pollute again.
Later, when humans began to resist desperately with the mentality of burning jade and stone, they let go.
If these are just speculations, then you can look at the world today.
The whole world is divided into countless small areas by the power of nature, and it is difficult for humans to fight large corps. In fact, this is also the best time for them to launch another attack. However, according to the data over the past five years, only a certain place has awakened, and no large areas have been polluted as before.
According to Li Zhen's speculation, this is because before the arrival of the isolation zone, the total population of the world was 5.2 billion, and now five years later, the total population is less than 3 billion.
He remembered a stand-alone game he had played before. The name of the game was "Famine".
In that world, players have to collect plants and kill wild animals to obtain food. The herd of yaks living on the grasslands of the game map is the main source of meat food and clothing materials. However, although that herd of yaks can reproduce, they are quite slow. He once slaughtered all the cattle herds when he first came into contact with the game, so yaks disappeared on the grasslands in the next few years. It was difficult for him to find that rich source of food, and he eventually starved to death.
After that, he learned the "concept of sustainable development" - after the cattle were in heat and gave birth to calves every year, he would slaughter two or three heads and dry their heads as reserve grain. However, in a certain winter, a terrible monster called "Winter Deer" appeared near his nest, so he had no choice but to lead the monster to the grassland.
The monster fought with the herd of cattle. After paying the price of losing three herds of cattle, the Winter Deer was destroyed. Finally, he discovered that only three cows were left on his pasture.
From then on, he took great care of the three cows, and for five years he was hungry and did not slaughter them, watching them slowly turn from three to thirteen.
Just when he thought of this, he couldn't help but fight a cold war.
If the current human beings are compared to that yak, then...
The type is who you were.
Now the number of humans has dropped sharply by half. So they stopped.
They are being kept.
Lucifer's clone once had a conversation with him on the beach.
It said the last day is coming soon.
And it is now preparing for that day. It also says that once that time comes, humans will replace the group of species and accept the fate of destruction.
Now he straightened out all the contexts one by one, and finally realized that what Lucifer said at that time was not false. Even though he was not sure whether the "last day" was true, it seemed that humans wanted to accept the destruction instead of species.
And that's what it does now.
To achieve this, it seems that the number of humans needs to reach a critical value. So when the first peak came, they began to awaken and acted after the world's population exceeded 5 billion.
What he wants to know now is what is the so-called "last day"? Lucifer said that the "Judgement Day" in human religion is the rumor that "last day" is the rumor, so does it mean that to a certain extent, the two have surprising similarities?
When the "Judgement Day" comes, the four Apocalypse horsemen will walk on the earth and destroy humanity.
And when the last day comes... the kind of people should be under trial.
What is it that can destroy powerful groups of species with unrivaled power?
And they seem to have no power to resist this and are only determined to find a replacement?
In fact, he was not clueless about this. He even felt that the key to unlocking this doubt was now caught in his own hands - not a metaphor, but was really caught in his own hands.
This Longinus gun.
This thing can suppress species. In addition to that is the island, and... itself.
The island can limit all superpowers and psychic powers. And the power he possessed after the second rebirth, the power he named "power" by him also has the same effect. At least for now, the abilities shown by aliens are only extremely powerful psychic powers, and they do not have their own special abilities.
So it is because of this ability that Lucifer said that he is the "lord"?
I am the "master"...
Li Zhen frowned slightly and sighed deeply.
In fact, he always had some hidden worries in his heart. Lucifer said that either let humans be destroyed or let humans be destroyed with species. If what it says is indeed an unquestionable reality, then the most rational way is to let humans die.
He is not a fraternist who transcends race, but if he really put himself in his shoes - do he want a lifeless earth without wisdom, or an earth with at least a kind of intelligent creature?
He felt that he was more inclined to the latter, because in his body, it seemed that there was indeed blood of various species flowing.
But the reason why he refused to cooperate with the other party was, on the one hand, because his sense of identity as a human was unable to completely abandon his sensibility and only retain rationality, and on the other hand, it was because he never believed the other party's statement so affirmative.
As he said before, perhaps human civilization can really be powerful one day until it faces the so-called "last day" and live to the end.
It was even more because he was so alert that he was hiding in his heart, and the above two excuses seemed to be looking for room for excuse for that hint of vigilance. That was because he instinctively felt that species did not seem to be as "friendly" to him.
They say they are the "master", they "sent" the egg to themselves, and then the two merge to produce a new individual.
If he speculates the other party's thoughts with the greatest malice, he can only come to one conclusion - they make himself stronger, perhaps... they are also turning himself into a "sacrifice" in a sense, or a weapon.
A "Lord" should naturally protect its people. So when a huge disaster comes, what should this "Lord" do?
Sacrifice yourself to "protect" them?!
Li Zhen supported his forehead with his hands and let out a sigh of relief. Smart people will leave room for things. Lucifer is not a human, but he is also very smart. So, how can he know that he is not their second move after he wants to destroy humanity?
He has the same ability as that person. Lucifer said that the person's character is not what they want - he is too cruel.
Thinking back to it now, Li Zhen thinks it is simply saying-
That person is indeed too cruel and it is difficult to have a final sense of identity with our group, so it is not suitable to be the "Lord". Because his character makes him not sacrifice himself for us when the disaster comes!
So he held the gun in his hand tightly and forced himself to get rid of this terrible speculation.
He tried to continue to recall the information he had read before, the fragmented information about Siberia. He knew that the decision to "kill" was hasty, and he knew that he was not prepared enough. But in fact, it was difficult for everyone to have the opportunity to plan something perfectly and perfectly, and to truly carry out meticulously.
Besides, since he entered this world, what time has he really prepared himself before waiting for an opportunity to move?
He has been pushed away by Lin Lin for various reasons... and now he feels that this is really no big deal.
Because this time he gave himself a reason.
