I'm trapped in a cube

Hearing the shell man's answer, Lao Xu was also stunned.

"We, a group of people, can't shake outsiders at all, so why are we still doing useless work?" Lao Xu asked in confusion.

Although the invasion method of these shell people is very insidious, it can at most cause some casualties and partially affect the operation of Oasis City, but it is completely unable to eliminate all human beings.

After clearing out the invading shell people, Oasis City can still rebuild its facilities and resume operations. As long as there are still people around, there is nothing that cannot be done over again.

On the contrary, humans will be more vigilant about the invasion of shell people and strengthen protection.

After the invasion, both sides suffered.

Hearing Lao Xu's question, the shell man still gave the same answer: "Our ancestors did this, and we must do the same as our ancestors."

The shell people seem to be very concerned about the things taught by their ancestors and are very stubborn. No matter how much Lao Xu induces them, they all say they must follow the instructions of the mirage.

They didn't care if what they were doing was useful, they didn't know if they could really free God, and they didn't care if they would lose their lives in the invasion.

After seeing the virtual image in the mirage, people's brains seem to be thinking about only one thing - how to complete the task?

Lao Xu also understood. He couldn't shake the minds of these shell people at all.

So he found another way and talked to the shell man below about other attack methods:

"Can we develop here first, and then attack humans when we develop to a level of civilization that can shake humans?"

Such an obviously unreliable suggestion made the shell people below think for a long time, and then they replied: "Not enough time, no."

"Why is there not enough time? God has been trapped for so long. It doesn't matter if he is trapped for a little longer, right?" Lao Xu asked in return.

"It's not that God doesn't have enough time, it's that we don't have enough time. We will die soon, and we have to leave the experience of this attack to future generations." The shell man said seriously.

When Lao Xu heard what he said, he was very confused: "Aren't we just born?"

"We will die in 17 days." It was obviously a common sense question, but the shell man did not doubt Lao Xu, but answered his question patiently.

"17 days?" Lao Xu was stunned.

"Yes."

Mo Ling suddenly understood as he listened to their conversation.

No wonder the previous shellers were so anxious to attack Oasis City, and after the attack, they hurriedly left their experiences to future generations.

It turns out that the life span of these shell people is only 17 days?

No wonder they are unwilling to develop civilization, because they cannot develop civilization at all.

In other words, the carrier of their civilization is the mirage left by generations of ancestors, through which the shell people of different eras are connected.

That's why these shell people attach so much importance to the content recorded in the mirage. If they don't follow the mirage, it means they don't follow what their race has been insisting on.

This is a mark engraved on their minds.

These short-lived shell people are even similar to a tool, constantly practicing the obsession of preserving mirage.

But now the obsession is to “fix outsiders.”

They may not have cared about God's safety for a long time, but they have been clinging to their obsession with mirage.

Perhaps, mirage was originally just a way for the shell race to pass on their civilization, but in turn, it pulled the entire shell race into an endless loop, causing them to continue to repeat their previous failures.

And in the process, that obsession has continued to deepen.

Not only did the shell race not look back after hitting the southern wall, they also kept thinking about how to smash the southern wall.

Lao Xu was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses.

He probably also understood that the obsession of these shell people cannot be changed at all. This is the trait engraved in the soul of the shell people.

He also tried to suggest that the Shells attack from the front to reduce the losses in Oasis City, but they were immediately rejected. The experience of their ancestors told them that this was not feasible.

Although these shell people are stupid, they completely keep all the information in the mirage in their hearts, and they will not accept Lao Xu's completely unreliable suggestions.

Seeing that all his attempts were ineffective, Lao Xu seemed very helpless, but he did not give up.

Suddenly, Lao Xu seemed to have thought of something and asked the shell man: "Have we attacked the fountain in the core area?"

"No, the core area is very dangerous." The shell man below replied seriously.

Lao Xu found the breakthrough point and continued following the beginning.

"That fountain is the core of the entire oasis city. As long as it is destroyed, the entire oasis city will collapse and all outsiders will die instantly. Then we can immobilize them all!"

Lao Xu opened his mouth and came. Anyway, these shell people didn't know what the fountain was for, so he used a trick to drive away wolves and tigers.

"Although the core area is very dangerous, we still have to give it a try. Even if we fail to attack the fountain, we can still leave experience for the younger generations."

"This time we will not fix other buildings and avoid those outsiders. Our target is the fountain."

"At night, we can sneak directly into the square in the core area through the water channel, first surround the square with a shell dome, and then directly attack the fountain. What about this proposal?"

The shell man below was lost in thought again, and Lao Xu's shell head looked at them expectantly.

Not long after, the voices of approval from the shell people came from below.

"agree."

"agree……"

The shell people agreed one after another until all the shell people agreed with Lao Xu's suggestion.

But they all still stood motionless, as if waiting for something.

When some shell people looked at Li Luo and Li Xiangyi, they realized that they were also shell people now and needed to express their opinions.

"agree."

"agree."

The two agreed in unison.

"Set off!"

Lao Xu sounded very excited. After shouting, the shell people walked towards the waterway nearby.

After Lao Xu jumped off the pile of shells, Li Luo asked doubtfully: "Are you really going to take these shell people to attack the fountain?"

"Why not? It can not only destroy the wishing fountain that has been producing dangerous relics, but also reduce the damage caused by these shells to Oasis City."

"Even if it fails, the shell people who come back will spread false news about the fountain, and they will keep attacking the fountain in the future."

The more Lao Xu talked, the happier he became, and he comforted himself confidently: "Don't worry, these shell people can't cause any trouble, and there will be no casualties. I will watch over them."

He changed the topic again and asked: "If you concentrate now, can you feel the flow veins of the entire waterway? This seems to be the ability of the Shell Man."

Li and Luo quickly felt it.

"You can definitely feel it."

Lao Xu nodded: "I found several connecting points leading to the artificial waterways of Oasis City."

He raised his hands and gestured in the air in front of him.

"I designed the artificial waterways in Oasis City. No one is more familiar with them than me. I will let the shell people sneak directly into the square."

"Let them die with the Trevi Fountain."
