It's another winter.
The weather has turned cold before November. This winter seems to come very early, and more and more data show that the earth's environment is getting worse day by day. According to statistics, the days of winter are increasing year by year. If these data are derived, the winter will be extended to four months after ten years. This still refers to the mainland, which is located in the center of the ocean, and those areas that favor the poles may last as long as half a year in winter!
Therefore, some scholars called on companies or organizations to slow down the looting of the earth's resources and invest money and manpower in projects to improve the earth's environment. Otherwise, 50 years later, even in China, winter may be as long as half a year or even longer.
And a hundred years later, the earth is more likely to usher in an eternal winter. At that time, it will really be the end of the world.
Unfortunately, big shots will not listen to these voices. In their opinion, no matter how bad the surface environment is, it is none of their business. Instead of investing a lot of resources to improve the entire atmospheric environment, it is better to directly build some underground cities. In terms of investment and return, it is definitely more direct and faster than the former.
Similarly, such a problem is not something that Shengdou Xiaomin can worry about. So when Zero drove across the small square in front of the Congress and saw several scholars hoarsely mobilizing the past city people to demonstrate to improve the climate problem, Zero just smiled.
The little man can't let the world hear his voice. The only way to do this is to become a big man.
This kind of thing as public opinion may still have some effect in the old times. But in the new era, absolute power will mask the so-called liberal democracy. Even Asgard, a city that advocates freedom and democracy, these two things are limited.
The root of everything lies in the emergence of capable people.
Judging from the huge base of the human race, capable people only occupy a very small amount. Ironically, the balance of the new era is absolutely crazy, and it is this very few people who make the balance of fate completely lean towards them. Ordinary people are almost like pigs and sheep to those who have the ability. Either become a slave or kill.
Ordinary people who can live in Asgatry are much luckier than people in other parts of the wilderness. At least they don't have to be slaves all their lives. There is a limit of freedom, so that they can be promoted as free people as long as they work hard and pay.
However, that's all.
Isn't it a joke to use a little right given by the superior to threaten the superior in turn? The reason why the Yingling Hall provides the people with a stage for free speech is nothing more than to channel some negative emotions of the people at the bottom. No matter how intense these emotions are, they are at best rivers with faster flow. No matter how urgent the river is, it can't cross the levee built with iron power.
Drive past the council square and drive along the road to the exit of the city. He received a task in the mission system of the headquarters, code-named "Winter Hunting". This is a crusade mission, and the object of the crusade is an alien who originally maintained friendly relations with Asgard.
The alien clan named Es is a monster of half-human and half-beast. They are covered with long hair, one-eyed giant mouth and fangs. The Es people have arms like ape, long touching the ground, and good at climbing. There is meat [seam] between the palm of the hand. When encountering the enemy, sharp and short bone spurs can be stretched out from the meat [seam]. The bone spurs are hollow, and there are slender pipes that can be controlled by certain organs to pressurze to eject the venom that paralyze the prey's nerves.
This is the most commonly used hunting method of the Es people, which is a low-level intelligent creature in the Asgard evaluation system. Their intelligence is similar to that of the Aarons who came into contact with before zero, and they already have their own simple language system and can make simple tools.
The El people occupied a small shelter in the old times and designated the shelter as their own territory within a hundred miles. There are about 300 members of this alien group, including about 200 in their prime. Although the El people are grumpy, they have maintained friendly relations with the residents of Asgard during their contact with Asgard.
But recently, Asgard suddenly received advice from the El garrison. For some reason, the El people suddenly changed their temperament. After brutally killing the only three garrisons, they cut off their heads, and finally passed through their heads with sharp wooden stakes and inserted them on the edge of the territory. This is a common demonstration method for low-class aliens to warn the race of the head on the stake not to enter their territory.
Otherwise, the consequences will end up like those warnings.
There is no doubt that this is the biggest provocation to Asgard, and Asgard naturally has to respond, so the crusade was released.
It is true that the reward of the task is very good, but the opponent is about 300 aliens, but it is not a task that an ordinary adventure team can take on. As for the company's army, it doesn't pay a fancy to the task remuneration. So the task was idle for nearly a week, but when the headquarters decided to recycle it and transfer it to the regular troops for processing, it was taken down.
What you want is not to pay, but to give your newly established army a chance to experience.
Although the number of zero troops is only about 100, the equipment of the army is not comparable to that of the El people. And with 100 to 300, there is not too much difference in quantity. If the number of the El people exceeds 500, then Zero will not take over the task. It is impossible to win more with less, and quantity and quality are always relative.
When the number is too different, no matter how good the quality of the soldiers is, even if they can win, it will be a tragic victory. Such a victory is meaningless at all.
Zero needs an opportunity to review the soldiers to cooperate in the battle, not to push them out to death.
After simple identity confirmation, Zero left Asgard with an off-road vehicle. When driving out of the long tunnel, a silver world lies in Zero's eyes.
The wilderness has been covered by white snow. Although it is full of strong radiation, there is no doubt that the wilderness decorated by white snow looks much more beautiful than usual. At a glance, the snow-covered and undulating snow slopes create a quiet beauty. Occasional ** rocks have become the embellishment of some blue-gray blocks in this snow map, making it more layered.
Unfortunately, not everyone can enjoy such a beautiful scenery. With the arrival of winter, the radiation intensity of the snow-covered surface is three to five times that of other seasons. If ordinary people travel, they already need the highest-configuration protective clothing to ensure that the body is protected from radiation. In addition, only those who grow mutant tissues in the wilderness can walk as usual in this strong radiation environment.
Only in the coming year, their mutant tissue will also increase by two to three times, and their life expectancy will be reduced by one to twenty.
This is a fair deal between man and nature, and there will never be a free lunch in the world.
As for those with ability, the environment below the fourth level will also have an impact on them. Above the fourth level, the impact is much smaller. For those who have reached the eighth level, the threat posed by the environment is almost negligible.
The full evolution of genes and even the body has allowed capable people to escape from the category of human beings. Like Ye Liu, a new member of the Zero team, she was petite, but she wandered alone in the wilderness for two years. This ability to be immune to environmental influence alone is not something that those muscular men with well-developed limbs but do not have any ability can do.
And this is just the slightest difference between capable people and ordinary people.
Off-road vehicles are driving on the snow, and modified vehicles are not impassable due to changes in the environment. However, it is an indisputable fact that the environment of the new era limits the inconvenience of human transportation. Otherwise, with the financial resources of Asgard or Eternal Night City, the expansion of the territory has been almost minimal for decades, which may be another way for nature to restrict human beings.
Driving on the quiet snowfield, zero thoughts are flying. He thought of a lot of things, such as the planning of blueprints, the route of advancement, the people and things needed, etc. Various factors and data flashed through his mind and were stored by him separately, waiting for the data to be released when needed. Before that, he still needs to revise and finally improve and complete the ideal country.
When people think, time always passes very fast. In the concept that zero may be just a moment, he has seen the outline of his company's surface building. This is the first territory he has, and Zero's ideal will take root in this soil. Now, the ideal flower has grown a small bud. What you need to do is to take good care of it and cultivate it to grow into a towering tree.
As for now, Zero needs to water it. This water will be brewed from blood. There may be the blood of the soldiers, but more will be the blood of the prey. Zero believed this and finally wavered his mind. Adhering to your beliefs and not walking slowly is the only way to become a superior. Zero has begun to walk on this road and will go far.
The off-road vehicle drove into the base, and 10 minutes later, a combat meeting was held in the base. After lunch at noon, three large trucks and an SUV drove out of the base. Their convoy drove towards the vast snowfield and drove in the direction of the El people.
This time, 100 soldiers who have just completed training have been dispatched. As for the ability, there are Zero, Brown, Haiwei and Ye Liu. Feng, Su and Berien were left in the base by zero. After all, this is an opportunity to review the combat effectiveness of the recruits, and even Zero is not ready to fight. He gives the stage of the performance to the army led by Brown in order to objectively and comprehensively evaluate the real combat effectiveness of this army.
With the departure of the fleet from the base, the "Winter Hunting" mission officially begins!
