Chapter 1114 Lava Hell Ten
So that's it. Li Feng has a preliminary understanding of what happened in this world over the past three years.
After all, nothing unexpected happens. The root of everything is the daily life caused by these monsters. Cases of monster invasion are completely the ones that have invaded the civilization on this planet and wanted to occupy this place.
Unlike the cases I have faced and heard of in the past, the enemy's base camp this time is purely from the underground and has the strength to crush the civilization.
In the cases encountered in the past, the indigenous people had the power to fight against the invasion of monsters. Although the total combat power was not an opponent at all, it could at least kill some monsters to play a certain role. Now it seems that the people here are not very useful, and there is no other function except for warning.
How great is the difference in strength between the enemy and us? It is exaggerated to the extent that the enemy does not take us seriously at all, let us develop at will, and even leaves us with a huge space for activity. The enemy is active underground most of the time and rarely comes to the ground, so we can play the ground at will. With such great conditions, the enemy is not afraid of raising tigers, but is not panic, but occasionally there will be monsters to visit like monkeys, and then leave.
However, it makes sense for the enemy to underestimate the enemy. In this environment, let alone attacking, even if we don’t attack, if our technology does not have any major breakthroughs and developments, it is very likely that the people here will starve to death to death from thirst to death until the last person dies.
Li Feng did not study in detail how people's technological development is here, but based on the current situation and the continuous rising temperature. After a rough estimate, he thought that he would not come and the monsters would not make trouble, and this civilization would only exist for about a year at most.
However, Li Feng is still interested in the appearance of monsters. If it is invasion of monsters, it must be like a portal. In this way, the portal must be built underground, and these monsters are attributed to fire, and their habits are like to survive underground. When you think about the lava core in the mission, everything can be explained.
These monsters may come here through a large number of teleportation arrays, or they may be awakened ancient creatures. These are possible. The core of lava is the overall energy of these monsters. They either provide energy to the teleportation arrays to pave the way; or they are the key to awakening monsters and provide energy to ancient creatures.
In any case, the lava core is the key to everything. If you destroy the lava core, the monsters will not increase at the least, and the monsters will die at the worst. These are all possible. In this way, the reason why the lava core becomes a side mission can be imagined.
Generally, the game will give two tasks. The first is a moderately difficult task as the main line, just like this time you can survive in such a harsh environment for a period of time and kill some monsters. In the side or hidden tasks, most of them are simpler tasks than the main line, but there must be a very special side or hidden line. This task will double the difficulty level of the main line, and complete it will completely solve the crisis in this world, and the reward will be much higher accordingly.
Destroy the lava core, naturally it is such a side line. If all the monsters disappear, all the main lines will automatically be regarded as completing the task perfectly. If only the monster's strength is weakened, the main lines behind will be quite easy. In any case, this side line is usually accompanied by risk.
Combining the mission and the story background he knew, although Li Feng did not see any monsters, he had basically considered this world and the various tasks in his mind. This is Li Feng's analysis. If the person did not take action, the information was known.
The place where they are currently located is not the only place where humans survive. There are seven bases like this. In the second year, due to the urgent situation, seven bases were established in this world in an evenly distributed manner. People also took refuge in the principle of proximity. At the beginning, each of these bases was almost full. As all the refugees were pouring in, the verification of the living space was not formed.
However, this hidden danger was quickly alleviated because with the rise of temperature and the shortage of resources, there were batches of deaths one after another. From the past, there were more people and fewer houses to the present, there were very few people who survived.
In this base, there are only about 5,000 people left to survive. Among them, there are about 100 managers, about 2,000 scholars, and about 3,000 patrolmen. Everyone has a difficult task, and no one is idle and waiting to die. There is no elderly or children, and now there is no environment for having children. If this disaster cannot be solved within more than ten years, even if humans are not dying of heat, thirst and starving, they will be terminated because they have no children.
The patrolman, to put it bluntly, is also called the scavenger. The team that Li Feng met was carrying out this kind of responsibility. These people formed a team of at least ten or fifty people, and their main task was to find water sources. As a source of life, the indigenous people here could not survive without water.
However, it is unlikely that this hot land will look for pure water. Even if it has it before, it has been consumed in the past two years. Now even a small pool of sewage is enough to make everyone feel excited. However, the fact is that people here have not seen liquid water in nature for more than half a year, even if it is dirty water.
What they find now are usually drought-resistant plants, which will have some small amount of water. Take it back and distribute it to everyone, and everyone will moisten their lower lips and eat it. Or there are plants with extremely high water storage and deep roots and super high water draw ability. Take it back and extract liquid water.
After all, the cactus planted outside the village cannot maintain the lives of so many people in this base. To put it bluntly, their purpose is to try to maintain everyone's life, no matter what, as long as it is edible or hydrated, they will bring them all.
It is also considered a natural choice. The survivors have a much lower dependence on water than ordinary people. If they were normal people, they had already died a few years ago. Because of their physical fitness and rapid adaptation to the environment, the people here now have a much lower dependence on water every day than a normal person. A small amount of plant juice can barely maintain their own body’s needs for a day.
Water is mainly obtained by plants, and food is another way to obtain it. In addition to eating plants, bugs have become the main food here. Many heat-resistant bugs will grow in the soil. Patrolers will find this type of land based on their rich experience over the past two years and dig up the soil to find these bugs.
Although the insects look disgusting, people here are more willing to eat these insects raw. The reason is very simple, just because if you eat them raw, you can eat the blood of the insects. Although it is nauseous, it is also considered an extremely precious liquid, which will at least make people whose throats are dry and ignorant, feel more comfortable with the tip of their tongues and throats.
As we walked all the way through the base, people were all hungry as if they were skeletons, and they looked very scary. There was no need to think about relying on the people here to provide combat power. Li Feng's mind deepened this idea again.
