I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 976 Dangerous Treasure
"I told you before that the humans in this world are sick."

"Their illness stems largely from greed."

"Humans burn wood to make fire, boil water for steam, refine oil and dig coal, store water and connect wind, collect light and crack nuclear power... all for energy. It can be said that human civilization is built on the constant pursuit of effective utilization of resources. This is what humans have always been pursuing."

"The fire that Prometheus stole has been burning until now, and what humans are thinking about is how to keep the fire burning."

"Even if the Abyss invades and brings relics, it still follows the principle of equivalent exchange. Energy and matter are conserved. There is a price to pay for every gain."

"Infinitely expanding resources will only make humans give up thinking. When they stop thinking about the question of 'how to keep the fire burning', the foundation of the entire civilization will be completely changed."

“When powerful individuals begin to focus on their own interests and not consider the future, the infinitely growing flame will not continue to burn, but will only burn the entire human civilization to ashes.”

"Endless nutrients breed cancer cells everywhere, and begin to destroy everything from the inside. The things that humans once cherished have become useless under the infinite desire. The ties that maintain the connection between individuals no longer exist. Cells no longer make meaningless "material exchanges" and instead become isolated."

Listening to Wang Chuan's somewhat dull words, Li Luo took a deep breath.

“Even with so many powerful relics, it is impossible to reverse the fate of extinction?”

"So what if they are powerful? Humanity's enemy has long been itself, not anything else... The abyss cannot destroy humanity. Only humans can destroy themselves. Before the abyss invaded, humans were the most powerful creatures on Earth. Unless aliens invaded Earth, how could there be any chance of destruction? Destruction is self-inflicted. The abyss invasion will not directly cause the destruction of humans. All of this is self-inflicted."

Wang Chuan turned his head, looked at Li Luo, and said seriously: "It is the humans in this world who chose this path."

The two looked at each other for a while, and Wang Chuan seemed to realize that he was a little extreme. He slowly turned around and didn't say anything else.

The dark space fell into silence.

Li Luo lowered his head, as if digesting the information that Wang Chuan had just said.

Mo Ling looked around blankly, sometimes at Li Luo, sometimes at Wang Chuan, and sometimes looked up at the empty sky.

It’s not that he didn’t want to participate in the commentary, but that he “didn’t really understand it.”

When Wang Chuan started talking about "transfer payments", Mo Ling was distracted. When he came to his senses, he couldn't understand anything at all. He was also a little confused about the issues that Li Luo and Wang Chuan were discussing.

He only knew that the humans in this world did a lot, and then perished...

What about the transfer payment of the cost of the relic, the target transfer of the relic user... He could probably construct a rough concept, but many of the details were not very clear.

Seeing that Li Luo and Wang Chuan were chatting animatedly, he was too embarrassed to interrupt. He hadn't digested what he had just heard yet as they moved on to other topics. Mo Ling also listened with only a vague understanding and didn't hear many parts clearly.

"How come it's just like class..."

He scratched his square head and recited helplessly.

As soon as he distracted himself for a while, the blackboard was full of incomprehensible writings. The teacher was talking about incomprehensible things. All his classmates were child prodigies, but he was the only one who was daydreaming and dizzy.

It was pitch black all around, and they didn't know how long they had been walking. Wang Chuan often changed directions, and his route was a little strange. Mo Ling didn't know where he was going. Seeing that the two of them were silent, he finally couldn't help but ask Wang Chuan in front of him:
"where are we going?"

"Go find the backpack." Wang Chuan replied calmly.

"Backpack?"

"Yes. If we find the backpack and destroy it, we can directly defeat the underlying logic of this city. At that time, all the heavenly soldiers will become waste, and those survivors will be able to escape the fate of being harvested."

Wang Chuan made a shocking statement and announced a very radical plan.

Mo Ling was stunned. He finally understood why Wang Chuan had explained the principles of how this city operated before. It turned out that it was to tell them where the "vital point" was.

"How to destroy it?" Mo Ling asked stupidly.

"You come to destroy it." Wang Chuan turned around and pointed at Mo Ling.

"Me?" Mo Ling also stretched out his hand and pointed at himself.

"Yes, no one in this city can do this, except you." "Why?" Mo Ling was even more confused.

"Because the humans in this world have protected the backpack, it is impossible to use the power paid by the backpack to destroy the backpack. Only external power can destroy the underlying logic here."

"Then she can't do it?" Mo Ling pointed at Li Luo beside him and asked puzzledly.

"Of course she can, but she's not lethal enough to destroy the pack."

Mo Ling looked at Li Luo and found that the "coat" she was wearing was still in the form of a joy seeker.

"Is it not possible to become a goat-headed man?"

"I've seen that look before. No, the lethality is still too low."

The lethality of the sheep-headed people has decreased?
Mo Ling was a little surprised. What on earth was that backpack? Why did it need such great lethality?

He didn't ask any more questions. He thought he would understand when he saw the backpack.

Since Wang Chuan said he could destroy it, he could definitely destroy it. Mo Ling still believed in this pioneer who had been helping them.

only……

"If the backpack is destroyed, the Heavenly Soldiers will be useless, right? Your plan to recruit the Heavenly Soldiers will fail, right?"

"It doesn't matter. The thing that is most abundant in the abyss is power. Bringing back the knowledge here can be considered a gain." Wang Chuan said indifferently, as if he really didn't care about his loss.

"But you... have been here for a long time, right? Isn't it a pity to give up like this?"

If the heavenly soldiers could be controlled, it would be of great help to humans in exploring the abyss. Mo Ling understood this, so he also felt puzzled as to why Wang Chuan gave up so decisively.

Wang Chuan shook his head: "This is no longer a question of giving up or not. If we don't stop the Heavenly Soldiers now, after they acquire the ability to turn back time, they might really be able to revive the humans in this world, which is not a good thing."

"What they resurrected might not be a group of humans, but a group of demons."

"The dead should stay where they belong, and don't get up and spread the plague..."

After hearing Wang Chuan's firm words, Mo Ling didn't ask any more questions.

But his mind suddenly started to wander.

……

Not human, but devil?

From Wang Chuan's perspective, they are indeed devils.

But from the perspective of these "dead", destroying their hope of resurrection is also an act of the devil.

And now, this is what the three of them are doing.

"We are all human beings, just in different worlds. Do we really have to go to this extent?"

But if we don't do this, the survivors will suffer an even more tragic fate.

The sins committed by generation after generation of heavenly soldiers must be repaid in some way.

It seems that this is the best option.

Just like the story Li Luo made up, there must be a "villain".

Although he knew that he was just daydreaming and dwelling on unrealistic things, Mo Ling looked at the extremely dark road in front of him and felt a little confused again...
