Chapter 31 The Remnants of the Gods

The tartary buckwheat field that Lin Shuang was talking about was a giant hole in the Ten Thousand Cave Forest. According to her description, there were thousands of square meters of land there, covered with tartary buckwheat. Because the temperature was slightly higher than the surface,

This pit has also become a gathering place for many wild beasts in the Ten Thousand Cave Forest.

She has only been there once.

But just that one time, she almost lost her life because of a lynx chasing her.

According to her inference, the predators in the potholes were definitely not just lynx, because she clearly saw the giant-antlered deer wandering inside.

This type of herbivore will definitely attract predators higher up the food chain.

Therefore, in order to obtain food, you must first clear out all the beasts there.

This is not a simple task and requires long-term planning.

Thinking of this, Chen Jiu said:

"I will tell others about this matter. If I decide to explore the field of tartary buckwheat, I will tell you in advance."

"I understand. If necessary, I can go there again to check the situation first."

Lin Shuang replied.

Her tone was a little hesitant. After all, to her, the field of tartary buckwheat was an extremely dangerous existence in the Ten Thousand Cave Forest. Even just approaching it might put her in danger.

——

However, deep down in her heart, she felt that she had to do this.

Because in her opinion, the entire Xiahe Village owes the man in front of her and his companions.

After all, his own clansmen killed his brothers.

Chen Jiu didn't know what Lin Shuang was thinking. The first time he heard her proposal, he almost subconsciously refused:

"No, your safety comes first, don't mess around."

Just kidding?

Lin Shuang's life is not valuable, and even the lives of any villager in Xiahe Village are not valuable, but the "+1" progress represented by each of their lives is very valuable!

I still count on these villagers to help me flush the indicators on the other side of the Shuanghe River. How can I let them die casually?

Seeing that Lin Shuang didn't respond, he continued to dissuade:

"In my hometown, a great man once said this: if people save their land, they will lose their land; if they save their land, they will lose their people, and they will lose their land."

"On the red earth, human life is the most precious thing. Without people, we can't do everything we want to do."

"So, we must not only ensure the population, but also ensure that you people can play the greatest role."

"You are obviously not good at fighting. Rather than letting you take risks, it is better to stay and help us run this refugee camp. This is the best way to maximize your value."

Lin Shuang nodded slightly, and an inexplicable emotion rose in her heart.

On the red earth, people are the most precious thing?

She had never heard this kind of argument since she was a child.

What is precious about people?

A sudden hurricane, a beast descending from the mountain, a plague, a period of hunger

Any incident will take one or several lives without anyone reacting.

No one will think that human life is precious, on the contrary, everyone will regard human life as the most contemptible thing.

Otherwise, why would Xiahe Village drive these "refugees" out to die?

They just think that the food is more precious than human life.

——

That doesn't seem right either.

It should be said that they feel that the lives of some people are more precious than those of others.

But in the eyes of the man in front of him who calls himself "leader", there seems to be no distinction between human lives.

And that's exactly what they did.

The best proof is that he is willing to risk his own life, go hunting to provide food for the refugees at any cost, and actively dissuade himself.

Looking at the man's slightly shining eyes under the firelight, something seemed to be shaking in her heart.

So where do these people come from?

Why are their ideas completely different from those of the people in Chidi that they are familiar with?

"Are you from far away? What is your hometown like?"

she asked.

"Our hometown..."

Hearing this, Chen Jiu couldn't help but be stunned.

He didn't know whether he should mention his so-called hometown in front of this "NPC". After all, they didn't know about particle reconstruction system.

If you speak hastily, it may cause some unnecessary trouble.

However, what if we were in an ideal city that didn’t exist?

This may bring a new hope or belief to Lin Shuang and other refugees.

After all, it is impossible to survive in a place like this without faith.

Rather than letting them believe in illusory things, it is better to set up a suitable idol for them.

He secretly established a connection with Shuanghe in his mind and asked for Shuanghe's opinion.

The answer given by Shuanghe is that doing so can increase the success rate of red land reconstruction by 2%.

So he no longer hesitated and said:

"My hometown is a very nice place."

"No one would say that their hometown is not good, just like Xiahe Village. Even if there is occasional resentment, you can't tolerate me saying that Xiahe Village is not good, right?"

"But now I don't want to defend it, but because compared with here, my hometown is simply paradise."

"There, almost no one will go hungry or cold. As long as you work hard enough, you can earn a stable future with your own hands."

"There is even a complete industrial and economic system there, which allows everyone to find their own position and engage in what they are good at."

"There, even if you are just an ordinary migrant worker - someone like the refugees in Xiahe Village now, you can have a fairly bright future."

"Instead of struggling to work like here, just for a few pieces of shoddy dried meat."

"Of course, this doesn't satisfy us. Our goal is to make workers and farmers truly stand up... It's a bit far."

"There are countless types of food, advanced medicine, giant iron birds that can carry people flying in the sky, and trains that can run thousands of miles in an hour..."

"In short, it is a place where everyone can truly live."

"Even if you are old, sick, and can no longer work, someone will still support you."

"We fed a lot of poor people over a period of several decades - that's a feat."

"Actually, we also want to recreate that grand occasion here, but we still need a lot of time."

Having said this, Chen Jiu pretended to sigh deeply.

He looked at Lin Shuang in front of him and tried to figure out her thoughts.

Lin Shuang on the side was dumbfounded.

"Iron Bird. Are you talking about the plane?"

"You know about airplanes?"

Chen Jiu was shocked. He thought that the civilization of this world had been completely eradicated. Could it be that there is still inheritance?

"I have heard that it is said to be a giant elephant driven by the power of the gods, which can allow people to cross the entire continent in one night."

Okay, it's definitely gone.

"Absolutely, but airplanes are not the creation of gods, but the crystallization of ordinary people's wisdom."

Chen Jiu had no intention of explaining too many details about pre-apocalyptic technology to Lin Shuang. After all, the more he talked, the more mistakes he would make.

But even so, Lin Shuang was shocked enough.

There is such a magical creature in his hometown.

In comparison, the sacred furnace in Xiahe Village is nothing at all, right?

And... they will feed the poor? No one will go hungry or cold?

In Chidi, Xiahe Village is already considered a wealthy village, but even so, many people still starve to death every year.

If what he said is true, then his hometown is probably the only pure land on the red earth, right?

"So where is your hometown exactly? What is it called?"

Chen Jiu was silent for a moment and replied:

"China."

What he didn't expect was that after hearing his answer, Lin Shuang stood up suddenly:

"China?!"

"Are you really the remnants of the God Clan?!"
