66: The Situation of Gaowu Civilization
Desolation, sparse trees, scattered gravel, cracked soil.
Except for the blue sky, the moment Chen Du stepped out of the tunnel, it was as if he had returned to ancient times.
If it weren't for people outside wearing modern clothes and a few large vehicles, Chen Du would have doubted whether he had Transmigrated.
"How is it? Is it different from what you imagined?"
Facing Li Mu's smiling question, Chen Du nodded:
"Yes, I thought the outside world was a battlefield of blood and gore!"
"I didn't expect it to be like a deserted island in the sea."
Li Mu and the other two smiled at his words and said as they walked:
"Chen Du, listen carefully. What I'm about to tell you is something only those who become a Martial Artist can know."
As his words fell, Li Mu's expression gradually became serious.
"What do you think is the comparison of our strength with that of the Alien Civilization?"
"Logically speaking, the invaders should be stronger, right? But we are, after all, facing three civilizations."
"If it's a one-on-one civilization, I think we should be stronger, right?"
Chen Du pondered for a moment and gave his answer.
Li Mu didn't refute his words but instead asked:
"Chen Du, what if I told you that we haven't been invaded?"
"What?"
Chen Du was stunned when he heard this contradictory statement, his eyes filled with confusion.
Not invaded?
Were all those destroyed cities fake?
"This is also the helplessness of the media."
Li Mu sighed, his voice a little desolate.
"To be precise, they weren't invaded by the Alien Civilization, but rather... they passed by!"
"What you hear, what the media broadcasts, about the Alien Civilization invading our cities and then being eliminated by us."
"This is true, but they changed the wording, changing 'passed by' to 'invaded'."
After speaking, he pointed to the empty land in front of them:
"As you can see, outside the Seventh Ecological Circle, there is nothing."
"There are simply no resources here. A few hundred years ago, the reason we chose to build the ecological circle here was."
"Just to avoid those powerful Alien Civilizations, lest we become food."
"This small plot of land is also where we started. All nine of our ecological circles are on this plate."
"Although it looks big, it's very barren."
"Because there are no resources, those Alien Civilizations don't care about this place at all, nor will they pass through here."
"This is how we were able to breathe."
"The invasions you see in the news are just some lost Alien Civilizations passing by!"
"But we can't not develop, yet we have no resources."
"So we must go to the territories of those aliens to 'steal resources'."
"This is a very risky endeavor, and the death rate of Martial Artists is therefore very high."
"Fortunately, the pressure our Seventh Ecological Circle faces is mainly from the Hunter Civilization, which is both unfortunate and fortunate."
"The strength of the Hunter Civilization is considered low-tier on Blue Star!"
"And the Third Ecological Circle and Fifth Ecological Circle face greater pressure; they mainly face."
"Mercury - Big Eye Civilization and Mars - Giant Civilization."
"These two are stronger civilizations than the Hunter Civilization. This year, Mount Tai Martial Arts University from the Third Ecological Circle."
"And Mount Everest Martial Arts University from the Fifth Ecological Circle will be recruiting students in our Seventh Ecological Circle, precisely for this reason."
"Principal."
Chen Du frowned and couldn't help but interrupt.
"But we are only the Seventh Ecological Circle!"
"If the nine ecological circles unite!"
"We shouldn't be weaker than those Alien Civilizations, right?"
Li Mu shook his head: "Chen Du, this is the media's second misleading point."
"Confrontation!"
"Small-scale conflicts are fine, but if it's a clash between entire civilizations."
"Our entire High Martial Civilization combined cannot defeat the Hunter Civilization!"
"This is also the answer to yesterday's question: why we are divided into nine ecological circles."
"It's not the sixteen-character policy you mentioned, but rather, don't put all your eggs in one basket!"
"If we integrate, the target is too big, but our strength can't keep up!"
"Once an alien wants to annex us, that will be the day our civilization perishes!"
"In the past hundred years, we have indeed become stronger, especially after the emergence of three powerhouses: Yan, Durags, and Ryan."
"But because of this, we have also started to be noticed by more Alien Civilizations."
"There are also aliens who look similar to us, quietly sneaking in."
"This is also why the civilization stipulates that only after becoming a Martial Artist and leaving the ecological circle can I tell you these things."
"Even if those aliens look like us, they will be detected by the out-of-circle equipment, as their biological brainwaves are different."
"We are currently in the stage where we are just beginning to be noticed by other civilizations."
Looking at the somewhat dazed Chen Du, Li Mu slowed his speech:
"Chen Du, when a civilization grows to a certain extent, being noticed is inevitable."
"What we need to do now is race against time!"
"While they still think we are just a Small Civilization, and our territory is barren, we must develop rapidly!"
"Before they discover the truth, we must become a tough bone to chew!"
"This is the current predicament of our High Martial Civilization!"
"And what Martial Artists need to do is to steal resources and secretly develop and strengthen our civilization."
"The reason you always thought the High Martial Civilization was quite strong is because of media brainwashing."
"This is also a last resort. If you knew from birth that civilization could be destroyed at any time."
"Would you still work hard? Even if you would, would most people?"
"Civilization needs fresh blood, so this truth cannot be spread."
Chen Du was stunned after hearing this. He was just an underage student, and the content of his classes and the information he received normally.
Were all about how to become stronger, and how Martial Artists and Alien Civilizations clashed, with victories and losses on both sides.
Although the media occasionally reported incidents of cities being invaded, he had never imagined.
That the truth of the High Martial Civilization was like this!
"How could this be..." Chen Du found it hard to accept for a moment.
"Aren't we a medium-to-high strength civilization on Blue Star..."
...
"Chen Du."
Ling Yun suddenly spoke at this moment.
"Do you remember what you told me before about the 'Giant Civilization' on Mars launching a sneak attack?"
"I remember. That Giant descended from the sky and landed directly in the most densely populated area of Lake West City."
"It launched a sneak attack on a human city, causing hundreds of thousands of deaths."
This was a major event that happened six years ago in Lake West City, Yunlei District, and the entire ecological circle was abuzz with it.
"This can't be just passing by, can it?"
"Can a Giant just 'pass by' by descending from the sky?"
Ling Yun shook his head, then nodded:
"What if I told you that terrifying Giant was just food?"
"Food?"
Chen Du didn't understand the meaning of Ling Yun's words.
"That day, a giant bird flew high in the sky, and that Giant, which you called a sneak attack on a human city."
"Was just food thrown from the giant bird's mouth!"
"A piece of food that fell from a great height and was injured, killed hundreds of thousands of people in Lake West City!"
"At that time, there were no Sky Soaring Warriors nearby, so they could only use Martial Artists to fight, and many people died before that Giant was killed."
At this point, Ling Yun took a deep breath.
"Even a piece of food caused us such casualties. Do you think we are still strong?"
