Chapter 335 What will human society look like in the end?
"What do you mean by showing off one's skills in front of an expert?"
junction.
Li Elden was watching this scene, watching the Nanyang man who controlled the evil spirit being pinned to the ground and rubbed by Li Zhongren from that world.
Of course, that's not what he sees. After all, in his eyes, this is just a fight between two noobs.
He looks at luck.
That’s right, after this disaster, the luck of this man who turned into a white tiger has passed, and after that, his world will enter a long period of stagnation.
Once again, no benefit was gained.
However, Lee Elden said he has gotten used to it.
Then, let's go to the next world. I hope this world can give me some strength.
Once again, Lee Elden moved the world line.——
What will human society ultimately look like?
In theory, it will look like a final product.
The people at the top control everything. They are like new life growing out of the old soil. They are completely different species from those at the bottom. Through long accumulation and the labor of the people at the bottom, they have brought technology to an extreme.
The extreme point is that the people at the top no longer need the people at the bottom as labor, and the people at the bottom have completely lost all value, except themselves.
That's right, it's genes.
Of course, this does not mean that genes cannot be studied.
When science has developed to that level, genes no longer have any secrets in the eyes of the top leaders, and they can even combine genes at will.
However, the biggest flaw of genes themselves is that their storage has a shelf life.
This is number one.
and gene mutations.
Mutation is different from orthodox research. Orthodox research is to interpret existing human genes, but mutation belongs to a chaotic system. The cost of calculating chaos is too high, and perhaps this cost is not something that human civilization can afford.
Naturally, the lower-class people themselves have become environmentally friendly and cost-saving living gene storage devices.
This is the ultimate future world.
It is also the only future Li Zhongren can think of.
He, an ordinary person, can see it, so those who are smarter cannot fail to see it.
After all, in this world, in addition to the top and bottom layers, there is also a middle layer.
When the top layer no longer needs the bottom layer, the middle layer is no longer needed either.
So, before that day came, the middle class, who had always been the lackeys of the top class, launched a rebellion.
Through precise calculations, a war between several top levels was triggered.
One wave brought the world to doomsday.
At the same time, it also completely changed the environment of the entire planet.
The remaining humans had to flee to the underground world in order to survive.
The above is the information Li Zhongren obtained about the world he traveled to.
Of course, he had no idea what the details were. The information he got came from the man in front of him.
After all, he just arrived.
Yes, maybe it was a problem of the speed of time flow, or something else. He had just arrived in this world, and almost at the same time, he activated the sharing space and shared resources from his selves in other worlds.
That is, it is an external system they developed to overcome signal delay.
At this moment, he was considered a standard time traveler.
"Then, what should I do?"
Sitting on the wall and looking at this underground city, Li Zhongren couldn't help feeling a little confused.
After all, this was a completely strange world to him.
"Hey."
Thinking of this, Li Zhongren lowered his head and looked at the man with yellow hair and as thin as a monkey who wanted to run but didn't dare to.
"Generally speaking, what do you low-level people do every day?"
"Work, or... being in a gang."
The yellow-haired man knelt on the ground respectfully with a smile on his face.
After all, in his eyes, the man in front of him was a noble evolver.
What is an Evolver?
After that apocalyptic disaster, the human world, no, it should be said that the entire blue planet, underwent unpredictable changes.
The surface has deteriorated to a point that cannot be described in words. Even the word "deteriorated" is not right. It is more like chaos and distortion.
Only in dungeons deep underground can normal physical rules be maintained.
It seems that it is this kind of change that gives humans extraordinary powers.
A powerful and unreasonable supernatural force.
In this post-apocalyptic era, those who control these powers are the real masters of this world.
This constitutes the current order, where the extraordinary people rule over ordinary people.
The essence is that there is no change.
However, due to the lack of knowledge and the price to pay for using extraordinary powers, the lower class people still have great value as labor.
In a sense, the man who instigated the Doomsday War was kind to the lower class. After all, without him, they wouldn't even be qualified to be laborers. This is getting off topic. In short, as a noble evolver, even if he was killed, no one would speak up for him, as long as he didn't start a killing spree.
"So, as a transcendent, if I want to live here, what do I need to do, and who will become my enemies?"
"Generally speaking, extraordinary people can choose to join the local order, or to establish their own gang. The former is more gentle, while the latter requires a fight to break out. After all, the territory is limited."
"Do you know what the structure of this underground city is?"
"A structure similar to a building?"
“It’s just layer upon layer.”
“The further you go down, the lower the status of people.”
“The higher you go, the higher the status of people.”
"Why? Isn't it supposed to be more dangerous the closer you get to the top?"
"However, the richer the spiritual energy, the longer the lifespan and the more powerful the extraordinary people will be in such an environment."
"I see. So, if people at different levels want to move to a higher level, what should they do?"
"Two ways."
"The first one is that if you make enough contributions, you can move to a higher level and enjoy better rights and environment."
"The second way is to fight, and replace the old with the new."
"The third type is that no matter which level you are at, if you have a ticket, you can go to the highest level for a short period of time, but you cannot stay there. Instead, you will be sent directly to the underground train and taken to other underground cities."
"They actually allow population mobility? Logically speaking, as a labor force, you shouldn't be allowed to move around as you please."
"That's the theory, but they can't go against the laws of the underground."
"what is that?"
"I don't know. This law has existed since the day the dungeon was built."
Huang Mao said.
“It’s real.”
At this point, Huangmao knew that the man opposite was just a lucky guy. He actually knew nothing, but he possessed great power, which made him very envious, but he still behaved honestly, because from the conversation, he knew that this man was very meticulous and he was absorbing new knowledge quickly. Such a person was not someone he could afford to offend.
"For example, the subways connecting different underground cities were built independently according to these rules." "Huh?"
"It's incredible, but that's how it is," Huangmao continued.
"It has three basic principles. Anyone who violates these rules will die. So far, no one has been able to escape this rule."
"What's the rule of three?"
"First, anything that threatens the safety of the dungeon will be punished, and the ultimate punishment is annihilation."
"Second, anything that threatens the safety of all mankind is prohibited, and those who violate the order will be wiped out."
"Third, the subway belongs to all mankind. As long as they pay for the ticket, anyone has the right to ride the subway. Anyone who prevents others from riding the subway will be killed."
"interesting."
Hearing this, Li Zhongren was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled, because a possibility had already occurred to his mind. Although there was no evidence, as a person who inherited the knowledge of countless worlds, it was actually easy for him to think of this possibility.
The middle class betrayed their upper class, causing a world war.
it's out of the question.
They are not qualified.
Then, there is only one conclusion.
There is a person or an organization at the top, and they did this personally.
-
Li Zhongren leaned on the window and looked out.
Although this is an underground city, it doesn't feel depressing.
The dome of the underground city is very high, and it has a special camouflage system that can disguise the blue sky and white clouds. It also has central climate air conditioning to regulate the weather in the underground city. Basically, if you don't pay attention, you can't even feel that this is underground.
However, the overall atmosphere of the dungeon is still somewhat depressing, which is due to structural problems in society.
The person or organization that caused the doomsday was probably the one who created the three rules of the underground layer.
To be honest, they have done the best they can.
The subway is what gives the lower class people a meaning of existence and a breath of fresh air.
As a labor force, the lower class people have a reason to exist, and the subway allows them to move, and no one can stop them.
Well, if the ruler of this dungeon goes too far, people will run.
This is a kind of checks and balances.
Of course, there is another point, which is the existence of extraordinary people.
You must know that the birth of extraordinary people is unreasonable, that is, the so-called kings, princes, generals and ministers, are not born with any kind of blood.
The strength of extraordinary people basically depends on luck. Perhaps the human knowledge system will play a certain role in the development of abilities, but in the final analysis, it is still the strong who have the power. This also determines one thing: the ruler of a city may not be stable, and one day he may be killed by a later extraordinary person.
This is what happens when great personal power is combined in one person.
This is why the controller of a dungeon lives on the top floor, because they want to enjoy the strongest spiritual energy. The price is to fight against the threats coming in from the entrance.
This is also the information he has obtained in the past few days.
The high concentration of spiritual energy on the top floor will cause many strange things to happen, and as the ruler of this dungeon, it is up to you to accomplish these things.
I have to say that person, or that organization, has basically considered everything.
They know what human nature is like.
So, they don't believe in human nature.
Instead, we use interests and instincts to drive the human world after the end of the world.
Interesting world.
But it is also a world of struggle.
Li Zhongren withdrew his gaze and looked into the house.
This room is where he stays, a rented house.
He didn't have an ID card and thought it would be troublesome, but the result was that because of the existence of the subway, the human mobility in this world was very high. Although the tickets were not cheap, they were not very expensive either. As long as one wanted to escape from the current environment, he could afford it if he gritted his teeth.
I guess this was intentionally designed by the organization. After all, if there were no tickets, given human nature, the subway would have been destroyed by them long ago.
Naturally, it is for this reason that there is no such thing as an ID card in this world. As long as you have a currency, you can buy everything you can.
"dong dong dong"
At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the room.
The sound is very loud and gives people a very impolite feeling.
"Who are you looking for?"
Li Zhongren opened the door and saw a bunch of colorful creatures standing outside. They looked like parrots, wearing sunglasses, chains, and tattoos.
"He's collecting protection money."
"what?"
Li Zhongren was stunned.
“I don’t do business.”
"The place you are staying now is the territory of our Red Devil Gang. Living in our territory, in addition to rent, utilities, and protection fees every month, you also have to pay. Of course, you can choose not to pay. If the things in your house are stolen, smashed, or damaged, then that's your own problem."
"Oh, something like security fees?"
"more or less."
"Let me assume that if I don't pay it back and someone comes to vandalize my house, can I kill him? Or, if I kill him, will I be held responsible?"
"Of course it's not needed."
It seemed that this was not the first time that one of the red-haired kids had been asked such a question.
“But you have to install surveillance cameras in your home to prove that you killed someone in self-defense, otherwise the police will have trouble with you.”
“Are there any police here?”
"Naturally there is."
Hearing this, the little red-haired kid also laughed out loud.
"But they don't care about other things. As long as no one dies, it has nothing to do with them. But if someone dies, they will ask about it. If you can't produce evidence to prove that you killed someone in self-defense, you will be arrested."
"So, what if I kill them too? What will happen?"
"Farewell."
The red-haired man was slightly startled, looked at his companions, bowed to Li Zhongren, and ran away.
"The person who came here is not a good person."
Ten minutes later, the news reached the ears of the leader of the Red Devil Gang.
"Boss, is this coming for us?"
"Are we a good match?"
The leader of the Red Devil Gang couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"I'm so awesome, but I don't dare to kill the police. Anyone who asks such a question, whether he is stupid or really capable, we should not take the initiative to provoke him. If he wants to cause trouble, he will make a move soon."
"Also, remind the brothers, don't get close to that area unless necessary."
"Yes, boss."
"call"
After giving the order, the Red Devil Gang leader couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
This city has been peaceful for thirty years. Thirty years ago, the current city lord killed the previous city lord and launched a purge. After that, the city has been stable for thirty years. The current city lord's superpowers are very interesting.
Control the police.
