Lan Mu appeared on a large planet. After saving several apocalyptic worlds in succession, he still had quite a bit of Merit left.
At this time, Feifu approached Lan Mu and asked Lan Mu to go directly to the most populous world on the list, as the apocalypse there had broken out ahead of time.
It was a low-level technological world, and it was being cultivated by a human who had mastered level 4 technology from the Black Rose. There were 1 trillion humans on Earth, and 4 trillion humans in space stations, all of which were being forcibly raised by a government.
The purpose of this captivity was to obtain the anomaly of a high-ranking Black Rose evangelist.
The Black Rose had quite a few worlds, all of which were treated as territories and given to a few powerful high-ranking officials.
Just like how feudal vassals could enjoy one or more planets, these feudal vassals could do whatever they wanted in their respective territories, because everything there was their private property.
The humans on this planet were required to multiply as much as possible, with the civilization giving birth to 400,000 people every minute, and this was only because the living environment was too crowded and the standard of living was too low.
Everyone lived in a kind of canned house, which was densely packed and arranged on the surface, underground, and in the ocean. There was also a large circular belt of 30 billion canned houses in low-Earth orbit.
In addition, the smallest space fortress was at least 500 kilometers long, floating in the space between the two planets in the tens of thousands. As a kind of space city, countless people lived there. As for the other planet, it was the same, with the surface and even the mantle being filled with canned houses.
The total population of this civilization was 5 trillion!
People of different ages were arranged to live in different places. Humans who were still in their reproductive period lived on the main planet. Compared to the 4 trillion people in space, the 1 trillion people on the main planet were not so crowded. At the very least, they had a suitable planet to bask in the sun and wander around, even if it was overcrowded.
The concept of family was almost completely destroyed. Humans were paired up to reproduce, and newborns were sent to space, only to be sent back to the main planet when they were 15 years old.
Humans over the age of 40 on the main planet were permanently sent to space, no longer enjoying the planet's environment. In the future, they would continue to reproduce in the small canned houses until they could no longer reproduce.
Being unable to reproduce meant that they were sentenced to death, and would be gathered together and sacrificed to the Lord.
If one had to describe this as an apocalypse, then it would be a population explosion apocalypse.
The Lord of the planet who ruled and enacted the forced childbirth law was called Edwin, and he had an anomaly called the Human Pawnshop.
Humans could be pawned in exchange for a type of life energy. This life energy could improve the overall quality of the human body, including muscle strength, cell activity, nerve reaction, immunity, environmental resistance, and so on. All aspects of the human body would be strengthened, and even the soul would be strengthened.
The pawned target had to be a natural person who had gone through normal pregnancy and childbirth. If there were enough humans, they could be exchanged for their lives.
True life, after dying, would be resurrected on the spot.
Edwin's life was rather decadent. He lived on a moon-like satellite. Compared to the cramped captivity of others, he had an entire satellite as his home.
There were close to a million servants, and among them, there were a hundred thousand beauties who were carefully selected to bear his children. Because his physical fitness had reached a terrifying level, he wouldn't feel tired even if he were to continuously take care of women for a year.
The number of his children had already exceeded 100,000, but he didn't have much concept of familial love. He boasted that he had an endless lifespan and could live forever, so he didn't care about things like bloodline inheritance and family genealogy.
Rather than calling his children his descendants, it would be more appropriate to call them his subordinates.
According to the internal records of Black Rose, he once famously said, "The son of a son is still my son, the daughter of a daughter is still my daughter …"
People called him the Lord of Loss.
…
"This guy has once again refreshed my understanding of the despicable nature of human nature. I thought Backlight had lost enough, but I didn't expect there to be no more loss, only more loss …"
Lan Mu believed that by saving these five trillion people, he would gain a lot of merit, perhaps even becoming a Dragon God in one fell swoop.
However, things had changed. These five trillion people were likely to be pawned, or in other words, killed. Then, Edwin would take his anomaly and escape from this civilization. In this way, saving this civilization would be immeasurable merit, and it would definitely be many times more than what he had originally planned.
However, they could die at any time, and once they died, Lan Mu would not be able to save them. At this time, he had to race against time.
This was the prematurely erupting apocalypse that Feifu had told Lan Mu about when she found him.
Every human in this civilization had been sentenced to death by Edwin.
The Vassals who had their own territories were very independent and free within the Rose Society. Because they had been guarding their own territories for a long time, when the Rose Society and the Blue and White Society were at war, they had not heard of this at all.
The rebellion of the artificial intelligence, coupled with Feifu's deliberate suppression of the news. As a result, if these Vassals wanted to know about the war, they could only go through the warp portal and go to the warring Black Rose territory.
At Lan Mu's request, Feifu added Edwin's world to the list and handed it over to Lan Mu to deal with. However, things had obviously changed. Edwin had just sent someone to Black Rose not long ago to find Backlight, but that person was killed by Feifu, so this matter must have made Edwin realize that something was wrong.
The considerate Feifu knew that this world was very important to Lan Mu, so she immediately informed Lan Mu.
As soon as Lan Mu arrived at that world, he received Feifu's message.
"Master, our people are temporarily unable to go over. The warp portal to that world has been destroyed. Obviously, Edwin knew that there was a change in the Rose Society, so he destroyed the portal and began to defend. This is undoubtedly very laughable in the eyes of the Blue and White Society, and Edwin definitely knows that he cannot defend it. "
"Will he escape to other worlds?"
Feifu said, "Impossible. The warp portals of each world were built by Backlight back then, and all the exits are Black Rose territory, which is now under our control. He obviously does not want to fight with us, so he destroyed all the portals. While stopping us, he also trapped himself. "
The Blue and White Society had sealed all the worlds that he could escape to. After all, the Rose Society had records of where the portals were. Even if he did not destroy them, no matter which portal he escaped from, he would be chased by the Blue and White Society. He would have to fight his way out.
As a member of the Black Rose, Edwin naturally knew a lot of information about the Blue and White Society. After realizing that the Blue and White Society had defeated the Rose Society, he had no intention to fight.
Feifu said again, "However, as someone who has a lot of Level 4 technology production equipment, just in that universe alone, there are enough places for him to go."
"Obviously, he has made up his mind to escape to the vast sea of stars and continue his wonderful eternal life."
"And before that, he will not abandon the people that he has accumulated for many years. He will definitely pawn them all."
"In other words, from this moment on, there will be people killed by Edwin every moment."
Lan Mu's expression turned cold and said, "Got it."
There was no time to discuss anything with Feifu. He flew towards the moon alone.
"Edwin!"
Lan Mu did not take out the fantasy figurines for the time being. His priority now was to deal with the Lord who had lost his consciousness. At least, he had to control the situation first.
Then, he would release the figurines according to the situation. He could still distinguish the priorities.
"Hmm? Are these spaceships the space captivity area? They are gathering … "
The oval-shaped space fortresses were gathering towards a huge steel platform. Lan Mu transformed into Ultron and rushed there at the speed of light.
In his detection range, he could see that there were tens of millions of people in each spaceship, waiting in line on the platform.
The platform had a large force field, and the inside was an environment suitable for humans. There were dozens of people standing on it. Lan Mu found that one of them had a muscle strength that was close to Cell's!
Unsurprisingly, he was Edwin.
The bottom of the spaceship automatically opened, and layers of canned houses fell down. All the canned houses staggered and opened, revealing the humans who lived inside. The humans looked dazed and numb, and they were naked.
Edwin raised his right hand and put something on the ground.
It was a very ordinary small mirror. Then, the mirror released a wall of light. The wall of light was unusually stable. Under Edwin's control, it became bigger and bigger, and finally reached a height of 100 kilometers.
Then, a kind of airflow erupted from the canned houses, and like a machine gun, everyone was ejected one after another and thrown in front of the mirror.
On average, millions of people were ejected every second. Millions of people were 'sprayed' into the wall of light like water. Obviously, if they got into it, it would be equivalent to being sold!
At this moment, Lan Mu finally arrived. First, he had Ultron destroy the chip of the canned houses in an instant, stopping the spraying. Then, he transformed into an Asari and used his mind.
The people who were sprayed into the wall of light seemed to be pulled by a huge force. This pulling force was delicate and gentle. After offsetting part of the impact, a repulsive force appeared on the front of the wall of light at the same time, pushing the millions of people away. Then, these people were firmly placed on the huge platform, as if they were held by a big hand.
"Ugh …"
Overloading his telekinesis caused the Asari's brain to hurt. Just now, if he had used Bastet metal or other energy to block it, many of these people would have died. With that kind of ejection speed, anything they hit would be turned into meat paste.
In order to ensure that no one in this group died, Lan Mu still chose to use the most gentle telekinesis. Lan Mu could control everyone carefully and put them on the ground safely.
"Who are you!"
Edwin flew into a rage and punched Lan Mu in an instant.
Although he asked that, he knew in his heart that it was the people of the Lanbai Society who had come looking for him.
However, seeing that there was only one person, he was of course not afraid. His first reaction was to get rid of Lan Mu immediately.
Even if he knew that the Lanbai Society had many top experts, he did not have the courage to give up on these trillions of people and escape alone.
In his mind, he could not even count how many lives he had, so he had the capital to make mistakes.
"Since one is here, then the other people of the Lanbai Society should be here soon. I have to get rid of him quickly and then take all the spaceships to other galaxies!"
Until now, he was still holding on to the hope that he could escape with the huge population.
