Chapter 285 The greatest enemy of human beings is human beings themselves after all

"These were hand-copied by the researchers of the Institute, and it took more than ten years of work." Rich said, "Although not all of them, they are relatively complete, at least the weapons are complete."

Wolf picked up one and looked at it, and sure enough, it was densely filled with words, and one manuscript was almost equivalent to ten crystal books.

"I need to sort out these books. It may take a few days. Can I stay here during this time?"

"Of course. It doesn't matter how long you want to stay, anyway, there are many rooms here. It's just that you may have to take care of your own food." Rich laughed.

"Thank you for your understanding and support." Wolf thanked again.

Rich arranged a room for Wolfe and the others. He said it was a room, but it was actually a cave with nothing in it.

But Wolf and the others don't care about this. Everyone entered the cave, put down their luggage, and went back to the library to start working.

There are three things to do:

1. Check whether the weapon part is complete, if not, make up the missing part;
2. Organize Bogarth's notes and translations;

3. Screen the remaining books and select important excerpts.

Rich sent them a pile of pens and paper, and built a stone table for them to use as a workbench.

In return, Wolf gave them some food and medicine.

"Thank you, these things can be exchanged for a box of gold in Sandia." Richie accepted the gift with a smile.

"If conditions permit later, we will find a way to enter Sandia again and rescue you," Wolfe said.

"Forget it! The Grand Duke will definitely not be willing. Although the conditions here are a bit poor, it is still the motherland. For those of us who have no future, the homeland of eternal sleep is the last wish."

Wolfe glanced at Rich, feeling a little sentimental in his heart.

The next day, Grand Duke Desiré called seven or eight assistants to help them organize and copy the books.

In return, Cang Ling helped them renovate the room and made some furniture.

"You are really good, Miss Cang." Richie looked at the furniture made by Cang Ling and said, "Have you ever studied carpentry?"

Cang Ling couldn't understand what he said, so he smiled in response.

Rich watched the poor carpentry show for a while, and then went back to the library to help Wolf organize the books.

During the tidying up, he chatted with Wolfe and told him a lot about Sandia after he moved into the volcano.

"The Grand Duke at that time was too simple. He thought that by moving all the young and middle-aged people in the country into the volcano, he would be able to preserve Sandia's combat power. It's a pity that no matter how strong the combat power is, it will be collapsed by hunger."

"The young and middle-aged people in the whole country? Didn't they take the old people with them?"

"Of course not. The underground space is limited and resources are limited, so only people under the age of 40 are brought."

"What about those over 40?"

"They were all abandoned."

"..."

"It's cruel, isn't it?" Rich smiled.

Wolfe didn't answer.

"Not only that, but the sick and disabled were all abandoned. A total of nearly one million people were left in the city full of zombies. I think all of these people should have died."

"No, there are survivors. We passed a city on the way, and the citizens there built a new city underground, which has survived until now."

"Really? That's great." Richie showed a gratified look on his face, "It seems that the fire of Sundia will not be extinguished yet."

Wolfe glanced at Rich and didn't tell him the status of those people.

Just leave it to Richie to think about it.

"Duke Desiré built those wooden houses at the foot of the mountain?" Wolfe changed the subject.

"Yes. At that time, the Grand Duke wanted to build a base at the foot of the mountain to test weapons. Everything went well, but Rowell messed up everything." Rich's eyes dimmed.

"Didn't the army stop him?"

"Army? Hehe, the army is full of civilians, and civilians are always easy to incite. Just tell them: kill the nobles and give you status, food, and women, and many hungry people will defect. In Sundia, a A single chicken is enough for a husband to sell his wife and a mother to sell her children."

Hearing this, Wolf couldn't help but think of those prostitutes in Crystal City, and the thin girl with a numb face standing on the second floor of the brothel.

"Sometimes, you can't even imagine how dark human nature can be." Rich continued, "Just because Rowell said, 'They ate the food that originally belonged to you', countless mobs rushed into the nobles' Blocks, hacking people to death. Countless people were killed, countless women were raped, and those bastards didn’t even spare ten-year-old girls. In order not to be insulted, my mother, She jumped from the top of the building, but the mob still did not let her go, they took off my mother’s clothes, dragged her body through the street, and there was applause from all around.”

Wolf gave Rich a sympathetic look, never expecting such a bitter past behind this funny and humorous person.

"Santia was hell during that time." Ricky sniffed, and continued, "There were even appalling incidents of cannibalism. Can you believe it? People who were not infected with the zombie virus actually also ate people. .It's crazy!"

"The greatest enemy of human beings is human beings themselves after all." Wolf said in a low voice.

"I didn't understand until I got here." Rich pointed to the ground under his feet, "Not everyone wants to go back to the ground. Because returning to the ground takes a long time and requires the efforts of several or even dozens of generations. Most people don’t care about what happens to them after they die, they only care about how they lived while they were alive. It’s impossible for them to work hard for a future they can’t see.”

Hearing this, Wolfe immediately thought of the conservatives in the Senate.

"By the way, did that fellow Rowell keep his promise? He promised the people to build a country with complete equality and no hunger. Did he do it?" Rich asked.

"I don't think so. From what we've seen, there's still a big divide between rich and poor on the other side."

"Hehe, so the commoners went all the way and just changed masters for themselves?" Rich sneered, "They must be very disappointed."

"Maybe……"

"How is Xinghai now? Judging from your appearance, eating shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Compared to Sundia, perhaps we have no right to complain. But we also have an imminent crisis, which is why we come to your country to seek weapons at all costs." Wolfe replied.

"Well, it's not easy for everyone." Rich shrugged, "I hope you can resolve the crisis smoothly."

"Thank you."
