Chapter 203 The desire to live(1/2)



Long thought about it.

During the short period of time when he was unconscious, he saw a dream.

The reason why he didn't say it was a dream, but that he saw a dream, was because he couldn't confirm whose dream it was. It wasn't his, nor anyone else's, maybe it was the planet's own dream.

In his dream, he saw a history of civilization.

It is not magnificent and soul-stirring. Human beings have had too many civilizations in the 200,000 years since the birth of Homo sapiens.

Any civilization is great, but what he sees is just one of them that is not special. The only special thing is that it still exists today.

Come to think of it, the island country he is in is also a tributary of this civilization.

When Egypt was on an expedition to Western Asia, it was in the Shang Dynasty. When Persia was on an expedition to Babylon, the Emperor of Zhou was ruling the world. When Alexander of Macedonia was on his eastern expedition, it was in the Warring States Period.

Perhaps by accident, although it has been experiencing constant internal disputes for thousands of years, it has never had a war with an ancient civilization of the same size. The wars of ethnic minorities, even if they dominate it for a certain period of time, do not pose a fundamental threat to itself.

The damage was eventually integrated into it.

But is such accidental luck the reason why it continues to this day?

Long saw the war between ancient civilizations. After Jerusalem was occupied, they dug into the ground and set fire to the city. After Baghdad was invaded, the Tigris River opened its gates and released water, destroying the entire civilization. On the occupied land

Sprinkle salt and thorns, completely destroying the land. No grass will grow for hundreds or thousands of years. This is what many civilizations will do to each other after they become victors.

Just like Kikaji said, eradicate the weeds and eliminate them all. This is how the war between civilizations should be. Almost all ancient civilizations on the earth are like that.

The only surviving ancient civilization is an exception.

It seems too naive and does not understand the cruelty of real war. Obviously one war is enough to destroy everything, but here it has become a game of "if we divide for a long time, we will unite, if we unite for a long time, we will divide".

It is indeed a game. If you don’t drive out the other side and wipe out all bloodlines, according to the war standards of ancient civilizations, such a war is just a game. It is too tender and affectionate. Killing 400,000 to reduce the pawns is the standard process, but it has been happening for thousands of years.

It’s a waste of time.

The Xiongnu, Xianbei, Turks, Khitans, Jurchens, and Mongols have experienced too many wars invaded by foreigners, and they also have bloody feuds, but they seem to have never learned to be wise, and they have never truly and thoroughly massacred all descendants of civilization.

Instead of spreading salt on the grasslands and planting thorns to completely destroy the vitality of the land, they instead intermarried, cultivated land, and brought civilization to the wild land. As a result, there are now fifty-six ethnic groups in that land.

Moderation, loyalty, filial piety, etiquette, justice and shame, ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, Arabia, Babylon, they probably can't imagine why such ideas can become the mainstream of a civilization.

However, ancient Egypt and Babylon were both in ruins, and not even history was left.

"So, even if I am considered stupid, I still want to try to believe it."

What Gaia showed herself was not a story, but what really happened. If you only think about destruction and killing all the time, then the world would be too sad. Therefore, even if you are a former enemy, learning to forgive will definitely not

A meaningless thing.

"Everyone, listen to my order. Rescue the underground people and eliminate Angramon!"

Even if the other party has invaded humans before, and even if they may retaliate in the future, humans will be too lonely if they don’t try to accept them. Long thought of Beidou’s words.

Enthusiasm cannot be annihilated.

Enthusiasm, to put it simply, is too difficult to achieve. However, he also wants to try it.

"Captain, I'm going to the tower to rescue the real underground people!" Beidou volunteered.

"Be safe, Konno, you're coming too."

"Me? Got it, captain!"

"Captain, let me go." Yamanaka said, "Beidou is too impulsive, and Konno can't make people feel at ease."

"No, Yamanaka, your mission is to join me here to destroy Angramon and the monsters."

Although Beidou is impulsive and sometimes does things without considering the consequences, he is the one who reassures Captain Long the most.

Beidou once again put on the oxygen mask. He actually wanted to act alone, so that even if he encountered a last resort, he could still become Ace. But since it was the captain's order, he could only obey it. He and Konno

The man quietly left the Platypus with an oxygen tank on his back.

Angramon couldn't understand the humans attacking him again. If he were a human, he would definitely choose to eliminate those underground people and nip all threats in the bud.

No one will know what humans have done. The 40,000-meter-deep underground is close to the magma layer of the mantle. No matter what you do, the crust can naturally cover up all the secrets and bury everything in the soil.

All hypocrisy is meaningless, all you need to do is show your fangs instinctively.

Don’t they even understand this? How can such a creature continue civilization for tens of thousands of years?

"Jitjitaga, I have no patience anymore, destroy these idiots for me!"

Angramon and Gitgitaga approached the Platypus at the same time, making it impossible for the tank to take care of both the front and the rear.

Angramon's eyes shot red lasers. The laser melted the soil on the ground and hit the Platypus's plate armor. Although the several-meter-thick plate armor did not penetrate immediately, a large piece was melted.

.

"No, the tank's defense system is overloaded!"

It caused huge damage in just one stroke, and the temperature in the cabin instantly rose several degrees. The next second, the laser struck again, but this time it did not hit the platypus.

The giant appeared before the platypus.

"It's Gaia!"

Giants of light will not make choices for humans, they will only appear after humans have made their choices.

"Is this what you want to see, Gaia? Can mankind's foolish farce and hypocritical choices please you?"

Gaia knocked over the monster Jitjitaga with a side kick, and then stood in front of Angramon.

"This is not a farce. Forgiving former enemies and making such a choice is the reason why human beings can continue to this day. Angramon, I don't know who asked you to come to Earth, Zeuda or others. But

Just thinking about conquering, destroying everything in front of you and possessing everything is so barbaric, so you can only hide underground."

Even without her, he would not have been able to succeed. Human beings will not surrender so easily.

On the other side, Beidou and Konno rushed all the way to the tower. Although it looked like a tall building from a distance, standing in front of the tower was even more shocking. This space is more than 40,000 meters underground.

It's a hundred meters high, covering everything in sight. Beidou couldn't even find the entrance for a while.

"Here, there is a door!" Konno pointed the TAC gun at a wall. It was indeed a door because it was integrated with the surroundings and difficult to find.

Konno tried to open it, but with all his strength, he found that the door did not move at all.

"I'll do it!" Beidou fired a shot from his TAC gun, and the door finally opened.

"Ah, sometimes violence is more useful."

Unexpectedly, the tower was not completely dark, but there were lights. After staying in the dark environment for too long, Beidou and Konno were not used to the light for a while.

"Although we have no eyesight, we want to get used to this light and one day be able to stand under the sun. Human beings from the surface, everything you have is what we dream of."

The speaker was not far from the opened door. Except for the fact that he had no eyes on his face and had degenerated into a thin film, he looked no different from ordinary humans.

In the high tower, there is an open square. Because there are lights everywhere, you can see many people in the square. Visually, there are hundreds of people, some standing, and some just sitting on the ground. They also

They all look like humans, dressed in rags like a group of beggars.

"Here are all our remaining compatriots. In the war six years ago, many compatriots died in that moment because they couldn't stand Ultraman's bright light."

What an irony. They investigated Ultraman and found out his true identity, so they kidnapped Hayata. They successfully hypnotized Hayata and wanted to use Ultraman for their own use to invade the human world. But in

The moment Ultraman transformed, he was unable to withstand the extreme glare, and a large number of underground people died as a result.

They long for the light, but the light never belongs to them.

"Are you here to save us, or are you going to kill all the rest of us?" The underground man who spoke said calmly, as if to them, there is no difference between the two options. Including humans appearing here,

It didn't surprise them.

"If we rescue you, what will you do? Continue to invade the ground?"

"You said invasion? The ground belongs to us. Do you know that long before the Ice Age, humans lived on this land. They were our ancestors and your ancestors. Then the Ice Age came, and it was really amazing.

For a period of time that is too cold, no life can thrive at such low temperatures.

It was we who had to go underground, 40,000 meters underground, and with the help of the geothermal heat from the earth close to the magma layer, we finally obtained the warmth that can sustain our lives and survived. More than two million years of time is really too long to look back on.

, we have even adapted to such thin oxygen underground."

"But that bright world, our ancestors have been longing to go back for generations."

"If possible, we would think about going back to the ground all the time."

Every underground person holds such a dream. They will admit to anyone that they have such a dream.

"But, there is no going back."

Even if humans don't object, they can't go back. Their bodies can't adapt to too strong sunlight, nor can they adapt to the oxygen concentration that's too high for them for a long time. At that moment six years ago, they realized this

One thing. Ultraman didn't take action against them. He just transformed into the light at that moment unintentionally. It was obviously the light they longed for, but it killed almost all the underground people.

The tower shook for a while, and even cracked for a moment. It was the battle between Angramon and Gaia that affected this place, and the light from Angramon's eyes hit the tower.

"Leave quickly, leave here first, this tower will collapse at any time." Beidou said.

"Leave and go where? For us, everywhere is the same cage. Don't you understand, humans from the earth, we are a group of people who have been abandoned long ago."

They long for the light, but cannot be accepted by it. The prophets who once led them all died under the light, and Telestone who protected them also died in the hands of the giant of light. They
To be continued...
