Chapter 1407 The goodness of human nature and the evil of human nature!
From noon to evening, Lao Zhang and Luo Xiang, who went out to inquire about news, brought back some bad news.
"Because of the impending disaster, tens of thousands of people are gathering here every day to get the protection of the golden eagle. We arrived early. It is estimated that in a few days, there will be more people stuck here.
Ten times more!"
"Although the internal review is not closed now, it is almost the same. We can only review a thousand people entering the city every day. At this rate, it will take at least a week for us to get our turn!"
"I mentioned to the guard that we have the correct answers to those questions, but he told me that of the 200,000 people blocked here now, at least 150,000 have said the same thing to me."
"It's so scary. I heard that a fight broke out two days ago and hundreds of people died."
"The land route is currently building defensive checkpoints to prevent disasters, so it can only be accessed through water."
"."
As he listened, the smile on Sumo's face slowly faded.
Although he had guessed that this situation might happen before he came, no one expected that it would worsen to this point. More than 200,000 people were blocked in front of the checkpoint and could not enter the territory, and there were dozens or hundreds more in the distance.
Thousands of people are on their way.
If a tide of animals enters through the waterway after the disaster breaks out, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"A territory with a population approaching 100 million can only audit a thousand people every day?"
Thinking of this, Somo turned his head and stared at the place that suddenly became noisy not far away.
At noon, this was still the outermost part of the floating community, but now it has stretched back nearly a hundred meters.
Generally speaking, the guards of the golden eagle will not come to such a peripheral place to maintain order.
But now, Sumo saw dozens of figures wearing yellow uniforms.
They were gathering around several sampans and asking questions, but they didn't know what the specific situation was.
Not long after, after a burst of cheering, nearly thirty people on two of the sampans were taken away by the guards.
Lao Zhang looked envious, "They are the lucky ones, they were chosen by the golden eagle."
"Lucky one?"
"Hmm, the golden giant eagle will select some people with good performance among the survivors to enter the territory directly without review every day. Sometimes they will pick the survivors in the middle, and sometimes they will pick the survivors in the periphery. It's a pity, we just
Being so close, I wasn’t chosen.”
"Is there any other way to say this?"
Sumo frowned, he seemed to understand why the boat was blocked.
On the grounds of review, the survivors who came from earlier were not allowed to enter and the entrance was blocked.
In the name of selection, it also gives the survivors a certain amount of hope, so that people on the periphery also hope that they will be selected, and are unwilling to turn around and leave, blocking the exit.
Why are everyone stuck here?
The answer is ready to come out.
“Do they have anyone registering survivors’ information?”
"Yes!" Luo Xiang nodded quickly: "Although the review speed is very slow, the registration was quite fast. I have already reported all our basic information."
"Does the information ask about route level, physical fitness, combat ability, material reserves, etc.?"
"Hey, cousin, how did you know?"
Luo Xiang was a little surprised. The items Sumo mentioned in the registration information were more important than the origin.
The registrar specifically warned not to commit fraud, otherwise you will be directly disqualified if found out.
"So, you won't write on it that we can use guns, have certain supplies, and are in good physical condition, right?"
"Yeah yeah."
Luo Xiang said with a smile: "If we screen the survivors based on their quality level, we will definitely be able to select them."
"It's over."
Su Mo couldn't help but raise his head, this silly boy was really simply terrifying.
Luo You, who was next to him, also reacted. He was also speechless and patted Luo Xiang in disbelief.
"Didn't I tell you not to make your own decisions? Are you in a hurry to die?"
"I just reported information, and I didn't commit any fraud. What's wrong?" Luo Xiang retorted vehemently before realizing the problem.
"Oh, this"
Luo You looked at Sumo helplessly, and after receiving a nod in agreement, he continued: "This is a naked conspiracy. I didn't expect that the golden giant eagle would do this. It has ruined our previous expectations for the super territory."
"Silly boy, they gathered so many people here and refused to let them in, not because they thought there might be a traitor among these people, but because they planned to turn us into cannon fodder to prevent disaster."
"What?"
Luo Xiang was still thinking, but Lao Zhang finally came to his senses and showed a horrified expression.
Before, they were still thinking about whether they would be captured as strong men after entering the golden giant eagle to resist the disaster.
As a result, now they have no intention of letting people in and arresting them, but just regard everyone as a strong man.
If you say so.
"The better our physical fitness and the stronger our combat effectiveness, the smaller the probability of being selected?"
"It's not smaller, it's zero." Luo You shook his head.
He looked towards the place where the two boatmen had just been taken away. At this time, many survivors had gathered around, fighting for control of the two sampans.
But soon guards in yellow uniforms came over and directed the ships to retreat from the rear.
Luo You's eyes became more and more complicated, and his mind started to have random thoughts.
If we really observe external performance and randomly select people to enter, then there is still some hope.
But if it was just a show, the people waiting here would probably be miserable.
"No, it's impossible that we are the only ones who have thought of this, and others haven't realized it, right?" Luo Xiang is still a bit stubborn and has some filter fantasies about Yu Sanjia's territory.
After all, in the communication on the World Channel, apart from the Tianyuan territory of the human Su Shen, the Yusanjia territory has become the greatest hope for mankind.
"So, this is a conspiracy." Luo You replied, "Now that you know, what can you do?"
"I"
Luo Xiang hesitated twice and was speechless.
After realizing the truth, choose to stay, conserve your physical strength and combat effectiveness as much as possible, and be prepared to deal with disasters. As long as you survive until the war, you will have the opportunity to join the Golden Eagle Territory.
But if you want to use this to cause trouble?
The guards of the golden giant eagle will probably arrive as soon as possible to rectify the law on the spot as a warning to others.
Of course, there is another option, to leave silently.
Without making any announcement, leaving one person alone will have no impact on the overall situation.
There are still countless "cannon fodders" coming in the distance with full of hope, ready to show off their talents in the Golden Eagle.
Is this the truth about the wasteland?
Luo Xiang felt a little chilled all over, and the feeling of being forced into a cave by Somo to fight hand-to-hand with the frogmen, and being on the edge of death every time, came back to his heart.
He knows what kind of emotion it is.
Helpless, struggling, desperate, unwilling, forced to accept
How could so many negative emotions come together in this seemingly peaceful environment?
Seeing that Luo Xiang was finally getting out of his psychological shadow, he fell into isolation again.
Somo pondered for a while, and several plans appeared in his mind.
It is difficult for ordinary people to enter the territory of the golden giant eagle, but it is actually very simple for him.
The fastest way is naturally to contact Tianyuan Territory and the Golden Eagle, indicating that there are people from Tianyuan among the people waiting outside, and asking them to accept them.
If there are only a few people, the Golden Eagle will definitely set out to pick them up immediately without even checking.
But doing so would expose his identity and go against Somo's original intention.
Of course, aside from this method, there are many other ways to enter.
For example, find a way to bribe the guards and send the answers to the questions into the Golden Eagle territory through the guards. As long as the person asking the question has verified it, he will naturally be qualified to enter.
Or even be a little more violent, sneaking directly into the territory of the Golden Eagle, finding the questioner for verification, and then asking him to send an invitation letter to invite people.
Compared to Soma's current abilities, these methods are as simple as eating and drinking.
but
Do we really want to sit back and watch so many ordinary survivors on the periphery become cannon fodder to resist disasters?
As a lord, Sumo can understand the thoughts of those federal lords behind the level.
If this opening were opened today to allow outsiders to enter and take refuge at will during disasters, it would be too unfair to the survivors who had previously entered the territory to contribute.
These people come and go when disaster strikes, and then go away when disaster is over.
However, the Golden Eagle has to devote a huge amount of resources to resist the disaster, and the survivors inside must also contribute their labor unconditionally.
Over time, the gap will only grow larger.
Moreover, the current population of Yusanjia's territory has basically reached its upper limit. Once they continue to recruit survivors unscrupulously and plunder the population of small and medium-sized territories, it will only result in all eggs being put into one basket.
If there is a targeted disaster, it may not be tens of thousands of people who die, but hundreds of thousands of people.
However, even if he could understand the thoughts of those lords, Sumo did not think that everything they did was right.
The strength of human beings lies in unity and cohesion.
Whether facing an alien race or a disaster, if unity is achieved through deception, the final combat effectiveness that can be exerted may not be even 30%.
And this is also the reason why the aliens dare not take action at all now.
At present, the cohesion of human beings in major gathering places has reached its peak, and everyone will fight for their homeland at all costs, even if they sacrifice their own lives.
But if these things done by Yusanjia territory are instigated by someone with ulterior motives, it will cause a huge wave of distrust.
"I have to do something, at least hiding is not what I should do."
The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.
Sumo always thought that these words were used to kidnap morality, but when things really happened to him, he discovered that taking the so-called responsibility was actually an almost instinctive behavior.
If you have enough strength, a convenient thing can make you happy and make you feel at ease.
Why not do it?
Somo lowered his head and pondered, rarely expressing an opinion directly, which immediately made several others on the boat feel confused.
Perhaps it was because I had gotten used to Somo's various arrangements during this period, so it was really confusing that there was no one to direct me.
"What should we do now, should we leave?"
Luo You frowned and turned pale: "After the disaster is over, it shouldn't be difficult for us to enter again."
"Where to go? There are only four days left. It's too late for us to go back to the Starfield Alliance, right?"
Lao Zhang frowned and said in a deep voice.
The only locations he could think of were the old place of the Starfield Alliance, and the Gezi territory where he heard the news.
As for Somo's territory, I mentioned it two days ago and it is in the central plate.
There are only four days left, so it is definitely too late to rush back.
Luo Xiang and Luo Jiao did not speak. After learning the truth, the two children's worldview almost collapsed.
The darkness of the human heart is indeed more despairing than the wasteland in a sense.
"Leave, you can't stay here." Sumo thought for a moment.
"I remember when I came here in the morning, there were many abandoned villages on the shore?"
Lao Zhang nodded, "Yes, I heard that it was built by the Golden Eagle in the past, but due to the split of the plate, the outer perimeter was abandoned in order to build a better defense line."
"Are we going there to be the end of the disaster?"
"I don't know, let's go check the situation first and then talk about our ship."
"This is easy to do. We just need to exchange it directly with the people outside. Maybe we can exchange it for a bigger sampan."
Lao Zhang patted his chest and said.
Basically, it will be difficult to get out after queuing for an hour, and the sampan coming from behind will completely block the escape route.
However, it is this way of blocking the queue that gives the survivors room to operate.
Just exchange sampans on both sides, and people at the back can go directly to the front.
"Then go and change. We're leaving now."
Being used to riding on guerrilla boats, Lao Zhang didn't feel any pain at all for this "broken" sampan he bought with a lot of money.
Soon, four or five men followed Lao Zhang in the darkness and jumped over from the sampan behind.
"Brother Zhang, your position is good, but are you sure you want to switch with us?"
The short man who was called over slapped his thigh and excitedly called Lao Zhang brothers.
They arrived late, and there were at least seven or eight hundred sampans between them. It would be great to be able to switch directly!
"I have to ask you this question. Your sampan is twice as big as mine. Let's change it."
"What's the use of being big? How can it be that it can crash into the territory of the golden giant eagle?" A man with a rough skin curled his lips, but when he said the words, he was glared at by the short man.
Damn it, what if he doesn't change it?
Fortunately, Lao Zhang didn't seem to care, and the two parties quickly reached a cooperation, and four or five men also helped move all the supplies on the ship.
This is also the cleverness of Lao Zhang. He deliberately found a master who did not lack supplies to exchange positions, saving a lot of unnecessary trouble.
"Brother Zhang, if you have any trouble later, just come to our brothers!"
"Okay, Brother Liu."
Lao Zhang nodded obediently, and then turned the sampan with Luo Xiang amidst the puzzled eyes of others.
"No, buddy, do you really want to leave?"
Some people had been wondering since they were changing sampans, and now they couldn't help but be surprised and said, "We've already reached the door, have we given up?"
"Then what if, you're just waiting here to die, and we won't be allowed in."
Lao Zhang laughed and replied, but his eyes caught sight of the people on the sampan next door standing up suddenly.
The posture was almost like if he dared to talk nonsense again, he would be punished immediately.
Damn, is there really surveillance?
"No more, no more, we have to leave, otherwise we won't be able to find a place to sleep tonight."
As soon as the voice fell, the sampan rowed very fast, and immediately opened a few meters away from the sampans queuing up.
However, Lao Zhang did not dare to stop. He breathed a sigh of relief until he was dozens of meters away, turned his head and looked behind him.
The few people who had just stood up from the sampan were still staring at them.
The moonlight was shining, and a little bit of cold light appeared on one person's waist, which was so cold that it made people shrink their necks.
"What's wrong? A lot of people have given up recently. It's normal for them to complain." A figure said strangely.
"This group of people is a bit strange, not like those before." A voice immediately answered.
"What's weird? I think they're very happy to trade the small sampan for the big sampan, aren't they?"
"No, they seem to be too calm, especially those on the boat."
"Really? I didn't pay much attention to this, but except for the rowers, no one else complained."
"Forget it, I'm already gone, there's no point in thinking about it any more."
"That's right, as long as they don't want to cause trouble, what they plan to do has nothing to do with us."
"Yeah, let's continue on duty. It won't be so peaceful in the next two days."
After saying that, I saw that the sampan finally crossed the 100-meter warning distance and left without any sloppiness.
Several figures sat down with calm expressions, as if nothing had happened just now.
