Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! - Chapter 790
Chapter 790: Building a New Earth!
Just a few short hours were far from enough to erode the sturdy shells of the Bread Crabs and Peregrine Falcons.
The exploration team quickly repaired dozens of thinking war trucks and drones before they released them, expanding the scope of the scanning and mapping circle.
Although they sensed extremely strong spirit magnetic interference at the edge of the sinkhole, the spirit magnetic environment in the depths of the sinkhole was rather stable, like the calm in the eyes of a storm.
Thinking about it carefully, it made sense—it was impossible for the monster mastermind to build the ultimate lair of the entire civilization in a place where the spirit and magnetic interference was extremely strong.
If it was filled with strong interference and radiation at all times, even the monsters would not be able to survive.
However, there were no monsters here.
To be more precise, other than small monsters like snakes, insects, rats, and ants, which posed no threat to humans, and the bubbling mud, there were no other monsters in the dark forest in the depths of the sinkhole, there was no sign of Nightmarish Beasts, Hell Beasts, or Apocalyptic Beasts.
Perhaps it was because the mist above their heads and the crisscrossing vines had blocked most of the sunlight, the bottom of the sinkhole looked lifeless. There were no living super giant monsters, nor any traces of the beast horde.
The Bread Crabs and Peregrine Falcons had scanned and mapped the sinkhole for six hours, covering almost every corner of the sinkhole, but they had never encountered any obstacles.
“How strange.”
Recalling the tragic battle between the Dragon City civilization and the monster civilization in his previous life, Meng Chao could not help but frown, “The monster civilization just sat there and waited for death, allowing us to march into their nest and gallop freely, touching every flower and grass clearly?”
“Perhaps, the monster civilization has long collapsed, and the monster mastermind has already escaped.”
Long Feijun guessed, “Half a year ago, we annihilated the main force of the monster civilization in the periphery of Dragon City. Then, half a year later, we hunted down the remnants of the monster horde all over the mountains and fields. If these animals really possess intelligence that is no less than that of humans, they should know that their pitiful ‘civilization’ is doomed, right?
“There’s no point in resisting stubbornly. If they don’t want to surrender, they can only choose to run away.
“In any case, the foreign world is so big. Other than Monster Mountain Range, there should be other mountains and forests that can keep them alive.
“The only Tree of Wisdom left to deal with us is just bluffing and trying to confuse us.”
That was true.
If the monster mastermind really understood the essence of human civilization, it would understand the principle of “There’s always hope”.
Running away was its best survival strategy.
There was no need to stay in Monster Mountain Range and fight the people of Earth to the death.
According to such optimistic estimates, Dragon City’s civilization would soon occupy the monster civilization’s ultimate lair without bloodshed and end this damn war.
Although he did not believe in any gods, Meng Chao still prayed silently in his heart, hoping that the war would really be so smooth.
At this moment, a few Bread Crabs and Peregrine Falcons sent news at the same time.
They scanned the ruins of the human towns.
“This is… the real Peach Blossom Town!”
An hour later, Meng Chao, Lu Siya, Long Feijun, and the other members of the exploration team arrived at a dried-up swamp southwest of the sinkhole.
They saw the corpses of a town.
The collapsed buildings were rotting flesh, the rusty steel bars were broken bones, and the shattered and overturned roads were like dried-up blood vessels. The wreckage of vehicles that had long been reduced to scrap metal was devoured by the roots of the swamp and etherealized plants, it became the last vestiges of civilization that had solidified in the jungle.
There were no beautiful trees, colorful sea of flowers, streams full of falling flowers and red leaves, or carefree people who ate their fill all day long.
There were no hideous and ugly undead creatures or eternal wandering zombies.
There were only tombstones that seemed to have been in disrepair for a long time, and the ruins were covered with branches and vines, quietly telling the story of the extinction of a civilization.
“Start a full-scale exploration of the town to see if we can find any survivors or production materials that are useful to Dragon City,” Long Feijun ordered.
Hundreds of exploration team members moved together and soon turned the ruins of the town upside down.
However, they didn’t find any survivors or anything worth recycling.
They only found some human bones.
The whole town was like a huge monster that chewed through hundreds of rows of teeth in its bloody mouth. All the beautiful and valuable things were crushed and destroyed.
Only the scars on the bones told the exploration team what kind of suffering and pain peach blossom town had gone through.
One of the scars on the skull caught the attention of the exploration team.
Including Meng Chao, there were many sharpshooters in the exploration team. Everyone could see that this was a wound caused by a gun shooting at close range.
As for the monsters, it was obviously impossible for them to blow up a human’s head with a gun.
For a moment, everyone fell silent.
The speculation that had been lingering in everyone’s mind ever since they regained consciousness, but everyone had a tacit understanding and did not want to say it out loud, could no longer be hidden.
Could it be that the Tree of Wisdom was not lying? Had Peach Blossom Town really been destroyed by the infighting of the human race and not just the invasion of the monsters?
It had been the truth when it said that “Earth was destroyed.” Had the civilization on the mother planet really been destroyed because of an all-out nuclear war?
The humans who had transmigrated to other worlds all relied on their yearning for their mother planet and even their faith. Only then could they manage to maintain the law, morality, and social form of the Earth era.
Deity Realm powerhouses had the power to summon the wind and rain, slay tigers and slay dragons, and soar above the nine heavens. Through the Super Enterprises they had established, they could mobilize astronomical resources at any time.
The descendants of the infected who lived in the slums were plagued by congenital diseases. They were poor and weak. They could only rely on the synthetic food made from the leftovers of monsters to barely fill their stomachs.
The two were worlds apart.
They did not even look like the same species.
Only their identity as “Earthlings” allowed them to have equal rights on the surface and in theory.
If the Earth civilization on their mother planet was gone, would they still be considered Earthlings if they had never set foot on that azure planet?
If they were not Earthlings, would they still have to follow the morals, laws, and social forms of the Earth era?
If they did not have to follow the morals and laws of the Earth era, what kind of morals and laws should they follow, and what would their social forms become?
In the end —
“Will dragon city be destroyed like Peach Blossom Town?”
The question seemed to have been carved on the hardest granite and crashed heavily on the cerebral cortex of every member of the exploration team.
“Dragon City will not follow in the footsteps of Peach Blossom Town.”
Long Feijun broke the silence. His eyes were shining as he said with a resolute expression, “Most of the time, size itself is a huge advantage.
“Dragon City is dozens of times larger than peach blossom town, which means that we have enough space and time to explore different paths, bear the cost of making mistakes, resist the attacks of strong enemies, and recover from the most serious injuries.
“Besides, with the experience of Peach Blossom Town, I think that everyone will seriously consider what kind of path the brand-new Dragon City Civilization should take.
“The civilization of earth did not perish.
“Because we Earthlings are still here.
“Even if our mother planet has been destroyed, as long as we Earthlings are not dead, we will definitely be able to rebuild a new civilization on this brand-new planet
“Yes, that’s right
“We are Earthlings. Wherever we go, we will be able to build a brand-new earth
“Besides, the so-called ‘destruction of Earth’ is just the enemy’s word. Even if peach blossom town is really destroyed, it doesn’t mean anything. Dragon City is dozens of times larger than Peach Blossom Town, and the civilization on Earth is thousands of times larger than Dragon City!”
The eyes of the exploration team members were shining.
They believed Long Feijun’s words without a doubt.
It was like a drowning man grasping at the last straw.
Long Feijun commanded everyone to collect all the human skeletons in Taoyuan Town.
They also found many skeletons with bullet holes or marks from swords and sabers.
Of course, more skeletons had traces of claws and teeth torn by monsters, as well as acid and venom corrosion marks. This proved that these humans were fighting vigorously and sacrificing themselves in the battle for survival space with the monsters.
Time was limited, so they had no time to sort the bones one by one.
They could only dig a big pit in a relatively high and dry place outside Peach Blossom Town. They would bury all the bones of their compatriots first, and then make plans after the Dragon City Army had really taken down the Hidden Mist Domain.
Perhaps, some of the owners of the bones were conscientious warriors who fought bravely and fearlessly with the monsters until the last moment.
Perhaps, some of the owners of the bones were weak mothers who, in the face of the harsh environment and the ferocious monsters, still extended their arms to protect their children until their last breath.
Perhaps, some of the owners of the bones were despicable “fierce rats” who, in order to survive, did whatever they could and trampled on the bottom line of human nature.
Perhaps, the owners of some of the bones had been corroded by the foreign world and turned into ferocious human-shaped beasts. They did not hesitate to raise their blades at their former compatriots.
Now, however, they were all buried together. No one knew their names. If they had to erect a tombstone, there were only two words carved on it.
“Human being.”
After twelve hours of exploration, they finally reached the edge of the sinkhole.
Although the sinkhole was deep, the rock wall leading to the ground had a certain curvature, and it was covered with vines, branches, and creepers.
Activating the vitality magnetic field and resisting the spirit magnetic interference, the Heaven Realm experts crawled back to the ground without much effort.
On the ground, the half-built camp was not damaged.
The communication devices inside kept beeping.
After a long time, the exploration team finally and the rear contact!
