Tang Shidao finished reading the history of the universe and suppressed the shock in his heart. He was sure that this was not a question for Master Snake alone, but a common question for Master Snake and 72 other people. He did not know what they wanted to test, but the situation in front of him was a problem that even Mages felt numb: the population explosion was not the problem, order was the problem.
Intuitively, there was something wrong with these residents.
However, Tang Shidao was still unable to trace the source with his current ability. He vaguely felt that these habitable planets were more like a prison than a paradise.
"Go and collect information. Be careful, don't take too many risks, "Xiao Jin instructed everyone.
"Don't worry, no one here will offend people with clean clothes," Rhode smiled and reminded them.
Everyone was a little surprised.
They had never thought that clean clothes were also a status in life.
Tang Shidao handed the history of the universe to The White Beauty and continued to ask Rhode about books related to it. Soon, Rhode took out a computer hard drive and indicated that there was more detailed information here. However, he could not provide it for free. He asked for 100 pistol bullets in exchange for the information … Yes, that's right, the research of generations of scientists and the painstaking efforts of generations of historians were only worth 100 bullets.
Tang Shidao certainly had no objections to such a condition.
In exchange for information.
The second time, he spent 20 bullets to borrow a computer from Rhode's team members, then made a copy of the information and sent it back to the original world for key research. After opening the information, Tang Shidao also let all the team members look at it together. They could not care about anything else now. The more information they knew, the better.
Most of the day.
Before sunset, all the team members who went out to scout for information returned.
They did not encounter any danger.
Rhode was right. Clean clothes could indeed make people avoid them and not dare to offend them.
Tang Shidao rented a hall to look at the information with 50 bullets. At the same time, he asked The White Beauty and the others to isolate themselves from the unsightly scene outside. During this time, some women also came over and indicated that they only needed a small bag of food or a bullet to serve them once.
However, no one paid attention to them.
Everyone began to report the information.
The number of the first information was enough to scare people to death. "The full name of this planet is Tarot 50697347246, which is a numbered name. The general residents are used to calling it Tarot 506 or simply Tarot Planet. Tarot is a huge star field, and there are millions of such star fields. "
The second person continued and reported one by one.
"Tarot 506 has over 30,000 cities. The population in the city is ten times more than the most populated city in Archosaur Star. "
"This city is called Inkstone City because the city is built on an inkstone mine."
"The Tarot Society and all other star fields use metal, food, cloth, and the like as their currency. Everything related to survival. There was no system here, nor was there any country, because no power could establish order and survive for a long time. Other than weapons and food, there is nothing else important here, including human lives. "
"The average lifespan of Tarot 506 is about 15 years. The average lifespan of the other star fields is about the same."
"If you don't have to worry about your life here, your normal lifespan can reach 150 years or more. The average lifespan is only one-tenth of your normal lifespan. Ninety-nine percent of the people here died in the war, and more than ninety-nine percent were killed in foreign wars. "
"People are generally healthy. There are no infectious diseases or incurable diseases."
"The probability of twins is 50%. The probability of triplets, quadruplets, and so on is also about 50%. There are almost no singleton babies here. For example, Inkstone City hasn't had a singleton baby for 327 years. Even if there are singleton babies, only people who live a good life will have a singleton baby. In some cities, such babies are regarded as ominous people. "
"The invasion of monsters in the outer world is very regular. There will be a large-scale invasion during the full moon. Usually, it happens every day. "
"Outside the outer wall of the city is the hunting ground. It's the hunting ground of humans and monsters, or the hunting ground of humans and monsters.
"Civilization and order have been established countless times here, but it has also been destroyed countless times. You can say that as long as the 'life' of a place is slightly better, countless people will rush there immediately. Whether they accept it or not, the foundation will be damaged eventually. Therefore, there are no lasting empires. There are only empires that are constantly being built and destroyed. "
"The planet doesn't belong to anyone, and the city doesn't belong to anyone either. A team occupies a place in the city and fights against the invasion of monsters together. "
"Here, scientists are a kind of high-level talent. According to their value, the lowest-level scientist can be exchanged for 10,000 people. "
"More than 20,000 cities in Tarot 506 have been destroyed, and there is a ruined city near Inkstone City."
"An old man once said: No matter how ignorant a person is, as long as they see a war with their own eyes, they will understand how terrible this place is. I think that old man is very wise, so I bring back this sentence as it is. "
The news came back one by one.
Similarly, the experts in the original world also received the news soon.
This time, everyone was frightened.
Half a day ago, when they saw the scene of the abandoned city, everyone had a kind thought: Don't be afraid, we will take care of you!
Now, everyone knew how stupid this was.
There were simply too many people in this plane. Every sun had to have a planet of life. Such a terrifying number was simply uncountable. Moreover, just the Tarot Star Region had tens of billions of living planets. How much difference was there between tens of billions and the '100,000' of the Five Planets Alliance? Not to mention food, even if 100,000 planets were cut into pieces and fed, it wouldn't last long.
Of course, food was secondary, order was the key … As long as there was order, food could still be produced.
Unfortunately.
There was no order here, or it could be said that the people didn't believe in order.
Seeing the expressions of the people in the city, they felt no different from seeing a group of hungry ants. The average lifespan was more than 150 years, but the average lifespan was only 15 years, which was even worse than the primitive society. Although they hadn't seen a war yet, people had no hope.
Next.
The more information collected, the greater the panic.
At this time, people noticed a strange set of numbers: The population had never decreased, it had just been increasing. Although the growth was getting slower and slower, it had never decreased. Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but feel that this was not like a real world, but more like a 'game'. The game characters had only been increasing, and the number had never been deleted.
In a few days, they met some teams from other planets.
Sure enough.
The information they provided was the same, and the whole universe was like this.
Many people.
No order.
The war of the monster invasion never stopped.
"Thank you for your help, friends of the Tang Empire. We have collected enough blood, and we will try our luck again. "The new team saw the situation and immediately chose to leave. Kill enough monsters to extract blood, and open a 'Blood Door' on the outer wall. The ratio was 100: 1. Tang Shidao also provided some ammunition.
At the time of departure.
A leader left a sentence: "An ancestor once said: Monster invasion is not necessarily a bad thing. Without them, we can't hunt enough food. Without war and death, maybe people would have eaten up their planet long ago. "
The position of this sentence was a bit wrong.
However, it was worth thinking about.
On the eighth day of arrival, a large-scale monster invasion began. During this time, the Bright Uniform Guards had investigated clearly: There were no zombies as imagined, just a kind of monster randomly generated by the plants. Generally, people didn't eat this kind of 'humanoid' monster, but they would also feed livestock. Many of the invading monsters were poisonous, and most of them were edible.
At the beginning of the war.
Unsurprisingly, countless monsters quickly gathered outside the outer wall, and then surged like a wave.
However.
What was shocking was that the corps on the human side also turned into waves.
There were not many high-tech weapons, only swords that could be reused and retracted, or bone spears. Facing the monsters that came like waves, humans also met them with flesh and blood. It seemed like a joke, but the real situation was like this. Teeth against teeth, hands against claws, flesh against flesh.
Rode also brought his team to the city wall. "General Tang, you don't seem to be used to it? Ha, it seems that the place you live is much better. "
Tang Shidao looked at the human tide and the beast tide, and a trace of pity flashed through his heart. "Is there no better way? For example, chariots? "
Rode shook his head. "It used to be useful, but it was used up long ago. Even if there were some left, the leaders used it to escape. When a new mine is discovered, there will be a period of gunfire. However, the resources won't last long. These people under the city wall are not brave or great. They are just hungry. Although many people will die, we will win. We have more people. "
Tang Shidao didn't say anything and just watched quietly.
These people under the city wall were no different from hungry 'zombies'. It might be a lie, or it might be self-hypnosis. There was a legend in this plane: Life does not wither. If it died, people could be reborn and live a happier life.
When the people of the Five Planets Alliance heard it, they spat and treated it as nonsense.
Tang Shidao thought of one person: the Ghost King. One of the Snake Master's 72 partners, the original owner of Tuhua, a genius who played with death.
Was the monster invasion lucky or unlucky?
Was the Snake Master saving or teasing?
Actually, there was a simpler choice here. For example … kill all the creatures on the surface.
Existence or destruction, which was more correct?
After half a day, the war finally ended. In a situation where hunger and savagery were similar, humans won with the addition of 'weapons'. It could also be said that the flesh mountain plants did not give birth to monsters that were too strong. A small number of stronger monsters were killed by firearms. The decisive factor was that humans had the greatest advantage in numbers.
As soon as the war ended, an even more frightening situation came.
A large number of people poured out of the city. They were very 'professional' in rescuing the survivors, and at the same time, sharing a share of the spoils with each soldier. What was amazing was that they were not greedy for the spoils of the dead and tried to distribute them fairly. They were like conscientious workers, giving each combat member a share of the spoils of war.
In the end, based on the surviving or dead groups, each group took these spoils of war.
Most people were so hungry that their eyes turned green, but there was not a single snatch.
Those who were left behind.
Those who died in battle.
Everyone had their own 'value'. Among them, there were also a few timid ones who did not contribute, so they did not get anything. Not even a piece of meat, a claw, or a scale of the monster was given. They tried to clamor, but immediately, countless people around them waved their wooden spears and stabbed them to death.
It felt as if the distribution of the spoils of war was a sacred thing.
Those who stole without merit were killed without mercy.
At this scene, Tang Shidao and the others also understood the meaning of 'fearless in the face of death' … They knew that if they died in battle, their family and friends would also have meat to eat.
"Captain Luo De, what are the conditions for me to go out for a walk?" Tang Shidao looked at the busy crowd and suddenly asked.
"Go out? That requires a lot of things. First of all, you need people, guns, cars, lighting tools, escape tools, and a guide who is familiar with the wilderness. Don't stay outside for too long. The monsters are not the problem, the food is. "Luo De handed over a wilderness survival manual and indicated that there were ten bullets.
