As expected, it was at that moment that Yang Kong, the instructor, spoke.
His voice was a little gloomy and sounded like he was sighing as if he came from the distant past.
"Most of the crops planted here are from the old civilization, mainly potatoes.
There's only one type of crop that belongs to our era, and it's based on the seeds left behind by the old civilization. It took a few generations of people to modify it successfully — yellow grain.
"After the modification, the yellow grain didn't increase its nutritional value. Instead, it even showed signs of decline in nutrition and taste. It's just that the yield is comforting.
That's why the old civilization is great.
"But so what? The era that people yearn for is gone after all. What's left for us is an era where everything is changing. The animals, the plants, and even us humans are changing. The changes are even bigger!
"It's sad, isn't it? We want to chase after the old civilization, but it's disappearing faster than before. Aren't the ruins that you see now occupied by dense forests? One day, the shadow of the old civilization will vanish without a trace. Maybe all that's left is some relics for us to mourn.
"I'm sorry, but this isn't what a rational instructor should say in class."
Yang Kong then put his hands in his pockets and stood beside the young warriors.
Even though they tried their best to calm themselves down, the young warriors still showed a sad and anxious expression.
This era was a civilization without a sense of security and was on the brink of collapse. Whenever the old civilization was destroyed, everyone would feel a sense of sympathy and sorrow.
Humans were selfish, but no matter how selfish they were, they could not get rid of the tribe that was left in their souls. At some point, they would disregard life and death to sacrifice themselves for the tribe.
"Fortunately, we still received the gifts left behind by the old civilization."
For example, these precious seeds, "Yang Kong said after he sorted out his emotions.
"But I've said it before. This era is one of change, and the biggest change is that evolution has accelerated and is unpredictable, so it's hard for humans to interfere with it.
Therefore, if we plant these plants outside the Hope Barrier, we might end up with poisonous wheat, hard potatoes that are inedible, or apples that will make people sick.
"Of course, more than 90% of the results are that these seeds left behind from the old civilization and we've spent so much effort to preserve them are too fragile to survive in this era!"
"Think about it. High temperature, extreme cold, unpredictable, ubiquitous, and difficult to analyze pollution. They can no longer adapt to the environment."
"As for us, we, who are struggling in this era, have yet to develop crops that are more suitable for this era. Danger is everywhere, and we do not have the environment to devote ourselves to research."
"Yellow Millet Valley is the limit of Safety Sector No. 17."
It was unbearable. When Tang Ling heard that, he pressed his lips together and clenched his fists. His entire body was filled with discomfort.
Was all this sorrow a sign that humans would eventually become the abandoned children of this era?
Yang Kong did not have to say what he was going to say next. Everyone understood what he meant.
In order for the crops to survive, they had to stay within the range of the Universal Source Rock's purple light in the Hope Barrier!
This was because its energy acted on living beings, making them stronger.
Thinking about it, this was the only place.
Because of that, the significance of the Hope Barrier became even more profound. Without the farms, how could the people of Safety Sector No. 17 survive?
Many guesses became clear at this moment.
For example, the food source of Safety Sector No. 17. After all, everyone who had lived in the safety sector knew that the meat and wild fruits they hunted were not the staple food of Safety Sector No. 17. Even the former settlements would get Nutrient Blocks from time to time, so what was the source of the Nutrient Blocks?
After Tang Ling obtained the knowledge, he once speculated that there must be some kind of farm hidden in the forest, but who would have thought that it would be at the edge of the battlefield? A place that was covered by the white light that gave him no sense of security?
"Hey, where do the apples I eat grow? I don't think I've seen an apple tree anywhere else! "Orston finally understood the situation.
Tang Ling glared at Orston fiercely. You can eat apples? I despise you!
However, Andy became unusually uneasy at this moment. He said in a panic, "There are people working on this farm. My, my, my parents …"
Andy was born in the outer city. Ever since he was young, he had always been curious about the crowded Safety Sector No. 17. Other than the adults who were doing business, where did the other adults go? What did they do in exchange for daily necessities?
Did they go hunting? However, he did not see any prey. Walking out of the Safety Sector was something that he could not even imagine.
The adults seemed to be secretive about it and did not want to talk about it.
He never thought that one day, the answer would be presented to him in such a way.
If Mom and Dad were working there, they definitely wouldn't know that there was such a cruel battlefield not far away. The 3D holographic projection 'fooled' everyone. They were working in the 'glass house', and what they saw was definitely not the truth.
With that thought in mind, Andy could not help but tremble. Beside him, Vian's eyes were glistening with tears because she was also born in the outer city. If Andy could think of it, how could she not?
"No, I-I want to go over there. I want to …" The bloody battlefield and the terrifying monsters made Andy lose his calm.
Tang Ling sighed in his heart. Even though he did not agree with Andy's impulsive actions, he could not stand by and watch Andy lose control. The rules of the Hope Barrier were very strict. What if he caused trouble and lost his identity as a New Moon Warrior?
After all, Andy was the first person to show kindness to Tang Ling.
Therefore, Tang Ling took a step to the side, trying to pull Andy back, but someone was faster than him at that moment.
Smack! Amir slapped Andy in the face, knocking the agitated Andy to the ground.
He wanted to retaliate, but Tang Ling grabbed his hand.
At the same time, Tang Ling also pulled Andy back.
"What right do you have to say that you don't want your parents here? I hate it when you say that. "Before the others could question him, Amir looked up.
Under his messy bangs that almost covered his eyes, Amir's beast-like cold eyes were overflowing with rage.
