Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

Meng Chao carefully flipped through the photos at hand and remained silent for a long time.

Ye Xiaoxing continued: "According to our several years of observation, the new generation of residents of Longwang Town has the following characteristics. First, they are all male, or they tend to be male. In fact, because of the adoption of asexual reproduction, the concept of gender In Dragon King Town, it has disappeared for a long time."

"etc--"

Meng Chao frowned and said, "Even if all the women who traveled from the earth were killed, the new generation born in another world should have a relatively balanced ratio of males and females. The so-called asexual reproduction lasts at most one generation. How can it be possible that all of them are males?"

"As smart as you are, you must have guessed that the 'Shenmu' will not give humans the chance to reproduce autonomously, otherwise, why would it live in symbiosis with humans?"

Ye Xiaoxing said, "We don't know whether the 'Shenmu' used genetic modification or some other method. In short, it controls the sex of the new generation of humans, ensuring that humans lose the concept of gender and the ability to reproduce, and can only rely on it to continue their genes." .

"Similarly, through genetic modification, Shenmu engraved a large amount of mechanical and civil engineering knowledge into the genes of the new generation of humans, so that humans can acquire a lot of knowledge and skills without learning, and become excellent workers and fighters.

"The disadvantage of doing this is that they know it but don't know why. The new generation of human beings have lost their creativity. The so-called skills are just simple imitations of their parents and grandparents. They don't know the principle at all. Of course, for them, they can use simple things. Mechanical and civil engineering skills are enough.

"Thirdly, the new generation of humans has lost the ability to directly digest food. After they hunted monsters, they would chop them up and send them to the roots of the 'Shenmu'. Let the Shenmu eat the fattest part of the monster first, and then the Shenmu will It secretes a substance similar to a nutrient solution, and the new generation of humans rely on sucking the juice of the Shenmu to maintain their lives.

"Over time, the digestive system of the new generation of humans has also mutated, becoming very fragile and unable to digest anything except the juice of the Shenmu. In this photo, you can clearly see the mouth of the new generation of humans, yes , their teeth have degenerated so badly that they have almost lost their ability to chew.

"Naturally, the new generation of humans worships the sacred tree very much, and regards the sacred tree as the mother of life. The entire civilization—if their small world can really be called a civilization, is developed around the divine tree. After the genetic modification of the divine tree, They have long forgotten the glory of the earth age and their identity as "earth people", and wholeheartedly regard themselves as the people of Shenmu, and Shenmu is their queen, their master, and their gods.

"Student Meng Chao, do you think such residents of Longwang Town are still real human beings, our compatriots?"

Meng Chao was speechless.

Pointing to a photo, he asked: "What are these people doing, peeing?"

In the photo, a row of residents of Longwang Town stood in front of the "Shenmu" with their backs to the camera, unbuttoning their loincloths, as if they were peeing.

Ye Xiaoxing was silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said, "No."

Lu Siya coughed lightly beside her.

Meng Chao turned to look at Lu Siya.

Lu Siya also looked at him expressionlessly.

Meng Chao understood instantly.

It's really... the distortion of human nature and the loss of morality!

"What is this?"

Meng Chao pointed to another photo.

In the photo, it seems to be a funeral in Longwang Town.

A resident of Longwang Town died, and other townspeople dug a shallow pit next to the root system of the "Shenmu" and placed him among the criss-crossing root systems.

It seemed that Shenmu had to completely digest and absorb his corpse.

In a space shrouded in mist and limited resources, in order to survive, corpses are also precious resources, and every bit of it cannot be wasted.

Meng Chao could understand and accept this funeral custom.

What he couldn't understand was why the body of the deceased was covered with a large poster, which turned out to be a cute anime girl?

Judging from the bright colors of the poster, it cannot be a product before time travel, but it has just been printed.

That is to say, until several decades later, the entire Dragon King Town has become unrecognizable. The new generation of humans has forgotten most of the glory of the earth's civilization, but they still have the ability to print large posters. The printed content is still a two-dimensional animation In the world, very cute girls?

This is too weird!

"The new generation of Longwang Town residents have unique beliefs and customs."

Ye Xiaoxing explained, "Because their world was almost destroyed by women, they all have an attitude of hatred and fear towards women in the real world. In order to prevent new women from appearing, 'Shenmu' has also changed their genes from the level of their genes. , reinforced this hatred and fear.

"'Women are all demons', all the residents of the new generation of Longwang Town have left such a mental imprint deep in their brains.

"However, human beings' longing for the opposite sex cannot be completely covered by any spiritual imprint.

"Besides, in order to maintain a certain level of fighting power for humans and help them hunt more monsters, Shenmu also needs to maintain the androgen of the new generation of humans at a relatively high level, so it is inevitable that some people will have fantasies.

"It just so happens that in Longwang Town, which originally had several mechanical and civil engineering schools, many science and engineering students like girls in the second dimension world very much.

"Women in reality are witches and demons, which will cause men to kill each other and lead to the destruction of Dragon King Town; but the girls in the second dimension world are different, they are gentle, cute, and completely harmless.

"Of course, the painting styles of the real world and the anime world are so different, even if you are mentally imprinted by Shenmu, you can still see that the second dimension is fake.

"But what human beings are best at is deceiving themselves and others, especially in such a desperate world, the girls in the two-dimensional world have become the only consolation for the new generation of human beings.

"In the unique worldview of the new generation of humans, the two-dimensional world is heaven.

"As long as you fight bravely for the 'Shenmu', hunt more monsters and come back, you can enter the two-dimensional world after death, and embrace countless anime female characters... Is that the meaning?

"In the current Dragon King Town, all kinds of second-dimensional derivatives, such as posters like this, and lifelike dolls, are almost the only spiritual sustenance and entertainment items for the new generation of humans."

"Understood, Team Leader Ye, I agree with your point of view, these guys are definitely not the same kind of human beings as us."

Meng Chao frowned deeply, "Why, Longcheng just watched Longwang Town degenerate to such a degree, but just sit back and watch? We should save all these compatriots from the evil rule of 'Shenmu'!"

"How to save?"

Ye Xiaoxing asked, "On the one hand, Dragon King Town is too far away from Dragon City, and there are several mountains where monsters gather along the way, so there is no way for large troops to deploy.

"More importantly, the local humans have already established an unbreakable symbiotic relationship with the 'Shenmu'. Now 100% of the residents in Dragon King Town were born from the 'Shenmu'. If Dragon City really sends out strong people, go directly to If the 'Shenmu' is destroyed, do you think they will fight us desperately?

"Also, don't forget what I just said, the digestive system of the local humans is very fragile, except for the juice of the 'Shenmu', they can't digest and absorb anything.

"We quite suspect that the juice secreted by the 'Shenmu' contains mysterious ingredients that we don't know about, and it cannot be replaced by any high-energy nutrient solution. If we directly destroy the 'Shenmu', maybe all the townspeople will starve to death.

"Even if they didn't starve to death, they have lived in such an environment for too long. Their culture, morality, customs and even their spirit and beliefs are all shaped around the 'Shenmu', and simply and rudely destroy the 'Shenmu'. It will cause their spiritual world to completely collapse and fall into the pain that is worse than death. Can this be regarded as real "salvation"?

"Whether we want to admit it or not, when Dragon King Town was almost destroyed, it was the arrival of the 'Shenmu' that saved the surviving humans.

"Regardless of its original intention, whether to find a group of qualified 'soldier bees' and 'worker ants' for itself, at least, it did help Longwang Town continue human civilization, albeit in a very deformed and twisted way.

"If there was no 'Sacred Tree', Dragon King Town would have been destroyed decades ago, and it was still destroyed by human beings themselves.

"From this point of view, it may not be appropriate to simply and crudely define 'Shenmu' as an enemy—especially when our enemies are already numerous."

Meng Chao thought about it carefully, and had to admit that Ye Xiaoxing was right.

If survival is the first need of civilization, "Shenmu" at least helped Longwang Town survive.

For decades, it has protected mankind from wind and rain, multiplied and thrived, and also provided raw materials and methods of inheriting wisdom for mankind to resist the invasion of monsters.

Destroying the "Sacred Tree" rashly will only lead to the collapse of Longwang Town. Maybe all the townspeople will be buried with the "Sacred Tree".

Although Meng Chao feels that the current Dragon King Town is very deformed and distorted, this does not seem to be a reason for its complete destruction. The new generation of Dragon King Town residents are not the murderers who killed each other back then, and it is innocent to love the second dimension!

"How does Dragon City plan to deal with Dragon King Town now?" Meng Chao asked.

"For the time being, we can only observe from a distance."

Ye Xiaoxing said, "When we thoroughly digest and absorb the results of the northern offensive, steadily expand the territory of Dragon City, and raise the technology and combat effectiveness to a new level, then we can properly solve it.

"Fortunately, the 'Shenmu' is not a very aggressive and expansion-oriented alien creature. It is entrenched in Dragon King Town and can control a corner of the mountain. It is satisfied, and from our long-term observation, it is also It was not found that the 'Shenmu' possessed intelligence and consciousness, it only possessed the instincts similar to queen ants and queen bees.

"But not all alien creatures are like the 'Sacred Tree'.

"Many high-level monsters possess extremely strong aggression and superior intelligence, at least the basis for the birth of super intelligence.

"Think about it, if there is another satellite town similar to Dragon King Town, it will fall into the hands of this more aggressive and intelligent monster just after passing through, and even form a symbiotic relationship with the highly intelligent monster in order to survive. After decades of development, will they give birth to a brand new civilization?"
