The three of them sat facing each other, the cigarettes in their hands flickering out.
The smoke was lingering, much like the white mist in the early morning.
There were bursts of gunfire outside the car, occasionally mixed with the roar of artillery shells.
As expected, another group of zombies appeared around.
The queue was very long, but fortunately the largest zombie tide firmly "guarded" the tower, so they were able to reach here smoothly.
"Team Lin."
After Gao Tian took the last puff of his cigarette, he couldn't help but ask Lin An:
"I always feel a little uneasy."
"I've been thinking about it for a long time."
"So far, we have not found any trace of amoeba, nor have we found the so-called undercurrent or doomsday crisis."
"Do you think it's possible that we are driving all humans to attack the zombie tide, and are we on the road to death?"
"If all humans in this world die, will our mission be considered a failure?"
Lin An was silent for a moment and put out the cigarette in his hand:
"Won't."
"There is no mention of protecting survivors in the mission."
"Do you still remember the mission we received in the safe zone? [Resist the tide of zombies and survive to the end.]"
"An explanation like this means that once everyone in our safe zone dies, the mission will be considered a failure."
"But after we entered the amoeba instance, the mission given only mentioned solving the doomsday crisis."
"If the mission fails if all humans die, the system will definitely give clear instructions."
"I have verified this with Huang Shaohua."
"Besides, there are actually some humans who have not been taken along by us."
Zhang Tie on the side continued the conversation in a muffled voice:
"Boy, don't think so much."
"If we can't solve the doomsday crisis, do you think these rotten people can solve it?"
"That's what I think. Doesn't this copy have no time limit?"
"Doesn't that mean we slowly eliminate the zombies and return the world to normal?"
"It's just that we are in a hurry, so we can only do this."
"Even if we don't bring this group of people, they will kill themselves."
"Have you forgotten what we saw when we first entered this world?"
"During the three fucking years of the disaster, more people died at the hands of these beasts than at the hands of zombies!"
"Haven't you kid calculated that in a dozen years at most, the human race in this world will be completely ruined?"
Xiong Hanzi patted Gao Tian on the shoulder and grinned:
"Look, there are still these people left, and there is still some hope if we give it a try."
"700 million zombies, divided up, one person can kill a dozen or so and they're all done!"
"If we delay for a few more years, who knows how many people will be left."
Lin An nodded, indicating that Zhang Tie was right.
In fact, the time they entered was already on the eve of the collapse of the world.
He has actually calculated what the world would be like in the future without his intervention.
Obvious.
War and a new round of safe zone mergers are about to break out.
Take the Trojan and Lion safe zones as an example. These two safe zones have already started a war.
The people are grudged, the forces are at odds, and supplies are scarce. In addition, human beings are almost losing their most basic humanity in this environment.
Even if he doesn't intervene, the world will inevitably suffer heavy casualties in a new round of internal fighting.
No one cares about the big picture.
After a large-scale conflict, even if the remaining forces are lucky enough to annex other safe zones, they will end up with a slow death.
Weapons will be damaged due to lack of maintenance, technology will be broken due to lack of personnel, and food production will gradually decrease due to lack of population and bad weather.
People at the bottom cannot feed newborns.
There is actually no hope in this world.
In the deduction, in about 30 years, the world will regress back to the agricultural period and eventually become a "savage".
The rate of regression of civilization will gradually accelerate.
The final outcome is to remember the once prosperous human civilization before the disaster in despair.
Then.
Completely die.
Thinking of this, Lin An couldn't help but express his speculation:
"The clues about the amoeba should be in the high tower. As for the undercurrents and doomsday crisis in the mission."
"I once thought about whether it might refer to the confrontation between the major forces."
"In the system's judgment, if we don't take action to stop all this, the end of mankind will be destruction."
"If during the systematic deduction, humans are no longer able to fight against the zombies, then the mission has failed."
"According to common sense, what we are doing now should be the optimal strategy."
"Gather all your forces to counterattack the zombies and solve the mystery of the tower."
"Other than that, I can't think of any other way."
Zhang Tie slapped his thigh suddenly and sighed:
"yes!"
"I think it should be like this! What kind of undercurrent can there be?"
"Zombies don't run around. People are the only ones who can move."
"There are no mutants or supernatural events. To put it bluntly, these sons of bitches are looking for death."
After hearing this, Gao Tian didn't think of any more reasonable possibilities. He just pondered for a moment and then expressed his other doubts:
"Captain Lin, you are right."
"Then how did those awakened ones in Huang Shaohua's mouth die?"
"I can understand it as a first-order person."
"Generally, although first-level awakened people are powerful, it is impossible to conquer the entire world with their strength."
"They may not even be able to command all the forces, and end up being killed by artillery shells."
"Just like me."
"If I confront the army head-on, I will definitely be dead. Even if I slowly assassinate the leaders of all parties, I may not be able to stop the war in each safe zone."
"Not to mention gathering all the forces to counterattack the zombies."
Lin An nodded, Gao Tian's analysis was correct.
He also deduced what the previous first-order awakeners would do after entering this dungeon.
Extraordinary power is truly terrifying in this world and can be multiplied.
But that’s really it.
With his current strength, can he be said to have conquered the entire world with his strength?
To be honest, my strength has exceeded the normal second level.
Ordinary second-level players would not be able to achieve this kind of effect.
Even so, he still relied on filling the space ring with explosives, and relying on Takong and the form of a celestial being to disguise himself as an envoy. Only two safe zones were destroyed and he conquered people's hearts.
If it were a normal second level, if it was an elemental one, there would still be some hope of slowly showing "miracles".
If it's the first level, or even the flesh system...
Even if I'm exhausted, I can't conquer the whole world.
Is Xiong Hanzi's defense and strength strong enough? But if he were to face a million-strong army head-on, covered by seven or eight rounds of heavy artillery, it would be too much for him, and it would wear him to death.
Not to mention Gao Tian, he couldn't kill thousands of people even if his bow was broken.
Seeing that Lin An agreed with his statement, Gao Tian took a deep breath:
"Team Lin."
"We don't care about the first-level ones for now. I'm wondering how the peak-level third-level ones died."
"With this kind of existence, I think the only possibility is that something happened in the tower."
"Could the amoeba be a top-notch existence that is constantly producing zombies?"
"After the third-level peak person realized this, he went straight to the tower."
"The result...died within a short period of time?"
