I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 1002 Set off again
"time to go."

Li Luo stood on the ruins and looked into the distance.

When new hope rises again in this devastated land, it is time for them to leave.

"Yeah." Mo Ling replied softly.

When you come, each person has one square block, and when you leave, each person still has one square block.

Wang Chuan would stay here for a while. Xiao Bai and Wang Chuan had agreed that after finishing the work here, they would go together to look for Xiao Bai's master. Fei Jian wanted to stay with the survivors. He said to Mo Ling and Li Luo:
"I won't leave with you guys. I always feel like I'll be in danger if I follow you guys."

"Why?" Mo Ling was very curious why it had such an idea.

"intuition."

"..."

The survivors were all very reluctant to part with the two, especially Xiaolian.

During the last few days in the city, Mo Ling gave many things in the cube to Xiaolian to play with, including the red headscarf and green seedlings. He almost took out Martin's bed. Fortunately, he restrained himself in time. It was really interesting to see Xiaolian's cute and curious look on her face.

Such pleasant days are rare in the abyss. After being enlightened by Xiaolian, Li Luo no longer worries about the problem of "taking a detour". As long as he keeps moving forward, the road will appear in front of him. It is time to end these crappy days.

"Do you want to go say hello to them before leaving?"

"Forget it, it's too much trouble."

"Too."

"..."

As they chatted, the two walked down the ruins and headed towards the edge of the city.

The ruins around were still the same as when I first arrived in this city, but the gray clouds in the sky had dissipated a lot.

The clouds have parted, but the dawn has not yet come. The light of the old world has become a thing of the past, and the future is still uncertain. What this ruin will become depends on how the survivors change the world.

New sprouts can grow on rotten wood, and a new civilization can grow on these ruins.

"A human civilization born in the abyss?"

Mo Ling thought about it carefully and felt very excited.

Just as Mo Ling was daydreaming, Li Luo suddenly asked, "What do you think the next parallel world we arrive at will be like?"

Mo Ling was stunned, and various "doomsday disaster" scenes began to emerge in his mind.

Since this is a world that has been swallowed and destroyed by the abyss, it must be like this, right?
It's just that the reasons for the destruction are different. It is estimated that they are also devastated, dusty and dark. Maybe the ruins left behind are different in style, but since they are all products of human civilization, they should look similar.

"It must be in tatters." Mo Ling said to Li Luo.

Hearing Mo Ling's answer, Li Luo lowered his head and pondered for a while, then slowly shook his head: "Not necessarily."

"Why? Since they are all destroyed worlds, shouldn't they all be in tatters?" "The way of devouring is not necessarily destruction." Li Luo said seriously.

"But if it doesn't destroy, how can it devour?"

As he spoke, Mo Ling suddenly recalled the scene in the deep sea before he arrived at the sixth layer of the abyss: a huge mouth rose from the deep sea and swallowed the wandering Yin-Yang fish directly into it...

"Can it be swallowed directly?" he muttered doubtfully.

"Of course." Li Luo answered confidently: "As long as the power of the abyss is much higher than human civilization, it can directly devour it. Although I don't know the principle of this 'devouring', as long as the power can achieve absolute suppression, it can limit civilization to the sixth level."

"The reason why it chose to destroy humanity and only swallow a 'corpse' is because the 'corpse' is easier to suppress. Just like hunting, it is definitely easier to kill the prey and then eat it than to eat it alive. It is reasonable to compare the swallowing of the abyss to a hunting behavior."

"Essentially, 'devouring' and 'destroying' are two different steps, not the same thing, but they are related to each other, just like when hunting, eating prey and killing prey are two different things."

"If a cheetah hunts a gazelle, it will definitely kill the gazelle before eating it, which saves energy."

"If a giant whale is swallowing krill, there is no need for it to kill its prey. It can just swallow it along with the water flow..."

When Mo Ling heard Li Luo mention the word "giant whale", the image of that huge mouth flashed through his mind again.

"It really looks like a whale..."

Is it really like what Li Luo said? Is this the "hunting behavior" of the abyss?
What is the prey? Humans?

Why did he see the "hunting" of the abyss before?
Mo Ling felt that there must be some connection between the two, but based on the information he currently knew, he was unable to deduce a reasonable conclusion.

Back to the topic, Mo Ling looked at Li Luo and asked seriously: "You mean, we will not only see prey that have become 'corpses', but also prey that have been 'eaten alive'? That is, human civilization that has not yet died?"

"Yeah." Li Luo nodded: "Then they are not in tatters. They may still be trying to save themselves and escape from the abyss, but their power is limited and they can only be confined within the abyss. They can only take various extreme actions..."

"Such a world may be more dangerous than the world of the dead." Mo Ling continued Li Luo's words.

"That's right." Li Luo nodded. "We are all human beings, but a little difference can lead to huge differences. When faced with the disaster of the extinction of the entire civilization, the choices we make will also vary greatly."

"The humans in this world choose to let the heavenly soldiers save them, and choose to sacrifice the survivors to awaken the entire human race. When people are on the verge of extinction, they will break the bottom line and lose their principles, just to stay alive."

"If a highly developed human civilization that makes the most of relics is like this, what irrational choices would a backward human civilization that cannot fight against the abyss make?"

"Such a world is definitely more dangerous."

As he spoke, Li Luo's expression became more and more solemn.

"Don't worry so much." Mo Ling quickly comforted him: "Most humans still have a bottom line."

"No." Li Luo shook his head and denied it. "You have to know that at the moment of human survival, the decision is not made by individuals with bottom lines and conscience, but by a group of people who are as cold as machines. They will abandon all emotions and make the most rational, correct and most successful choice. The decision made by humans at that time is the same as the result calculated by the computer. 1 is 1 and 0 is 0. There is no evil 1 and kind 0."

"Ethics, morality, humanity... they no longer exist when separated from individuals. Absolute reason will override everything and turn people into cold calculation units..."
