C1153 We Need to Change
The way back was much calmer for Yudel and his team, although for safety reasons, the way back was completely different from the way they came.1
However, this route had also been explored many times. Basically, they had confirmed that they would not encounter any powerful giants or other powerful Mutated Creatures on this route.
Even if they occasionally encountered some extremely aggressive mutated species, they would only helplessly die under the firepower of Yudel's team.
Moreover, due to the influence of Qin Yunyi's strength, the morale of Yudel's team was high. Whether it was their physical or mental state, they were at their peak.
This also allowed the return journey to be smooth.
"You mean. . . The giant has already started to take action against us?" Dr. Lee looked at Qin Yunyi and asked in surprise.
The two of them continued to talk about things that they did not finish on their way there. The difference was that Dr. Lee had started to show respect and submission to Qin Yunyi.
Qin Yunyi was able to learn a lot about the current situation of the world from Dr. Lee. This was information that he couldn't get when he was at Chao Yang's settlement. After all, the place where Chao Yang's settlement was located was too low, so it was impossible for him to see so much.
As a true big shot of the Seventh Division, and the predecessor of the Seventh Division was one of the satellite settlements of the Atville Company, he naturally had a better understanding of the overall situation of the world.
"In my opinion, that should be the case. When we return to the settlements, we can focus on investigating the smaller and medium-sized settlements around the world. I have always felt that it was not a coincidence that the Morning Sun settlements were attacked by the giants. It's very likely that this is the first phase of attack plan formulated by the giants against the mutated humans "
Qin Yunyi nodded and said with certainty.
"But. . . What is the point of attacking small to medium sized settlements? The core of our human race is the top ten companies and the top four companies. As long as these fourteen companies don't suffer any serious losses, then the other losses are negligible to humanity. "
Dr. Lee frowned and asked.
"Nearly 200 years ago, a great man proposed a strategy called farming to surround the city. If you use words that you can understand now to explain, it would be wiping out all the small and unnoticeable settlements around the world, and eventually forming an absolute siege on the remaining large settlements. "
Qin Yunyi gave a simple explanation.
"I still don't understand what's the point of doing this. " Dr. Lee shook his head.
"What do you think is the advantage of mutated humans compared to giants?" Qin Yunyi suddenly asked.
"The advantage? The tall and solid wall we built?" Dr. Lee was stunned for a moment, then asked tentatively.
"That's not an advantage. The so-called advantage can never be brought about by defense. The advantage can only come from offense, because no matter how strong the defense is, It can only prove that you are in a passive state, and you have to use defensive means to make up for your lack of strength. As for those who were passively taking blows. . . Furthermore, the Atville Company had already paid the price with their blood. The city wall that you thought was strong enough was actually not safe. The key was to see if the giant was willing to pay the price to launch an attack. In other words, The current peace within the super large settlements is only the peace that the giant permits. "
Qin Yunyi looked at Dr. Lee and said with a smile, "Your true advantage lies in numbers. If there are a hundred million giants in the entire world, If there are only ten million humans in this world, I'm afraid everyone would have already lost all hope. It's precisely because you have ten times the number of giants that you have the courage to fight in your hearts. Humans are very good at comforting themselves and deceiving themselves. As long as they have enough reasons to deceive themselves. "
"This. . . " Dr. Lee suddenly fell into deep thought. If Yudel had not been pulling him along the way, he was afraid that he would have stood where he was.
"Although everyone knows that a hundred million mutated humans are no match for ten million giants. Because most of the mutated humans are not worth mentioning to giants. The army that humans can truly form can only be equivalent to 2 to 3 million giants. This is still an optimistic estimate. And the troublesome thing was. . . Even such a small amount of power was divided into dozens of pieces due to the nature of human infighting. It could not be gathered together to form a whole fist. However, in the end, the advantage in numbers could make people instinctively numb. This numbness is the main driving force for humans to continue living on this land. "
After Qin Yunyi finished speaking, he turned to look at Dr. Lee and said calmly, "Now you understand how much harm it will cause for giants to surround cities in the countryside. "
Dr. Lee was shocked and said with a trembling voice, "You mean, giants want to plant despair in the hearts of humans?"
"That's the reason. In the minds of the current humans, You are still spread around the world, and all over the world, you are fighting giants for survival. But when all the humans in the middle and small rejection points were killed, The number of humans outside of the super large settlements is roughly half of the population of this era, and when all of these humans are killed by giants. . . To humans, it did not only mean that half of the population was gone. It also meant that all of your wild brethren. . . All of you have disappeared, and you can only stay in the settlement all by yourself. You have become trapped beasts, prisoners in the high city. You look like livestock raised in captivity. You watch the giant surround you, but you can only watch helplessly as your fate is finally eaten by the giant. You will. . . Lose hope, and then slowly wither in numbness. "
After Qin Yunyi finished speaking, even Yudel, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
"Then. . . What should we do?" Dr. Lee asked in a daze.
"Find the reason why the giant changed, and then get rid of it. Let the giant return to the old state of not being connected to each other, only living in isolation in this world. Only then can we organize an elite team to continuously destroy the giant. The giant before wasn't a truly terrifying giant, Thus, even in this state of crisis, humanity was still not united. Instead, they split up into all kinds of so-called companies. But now, giants are different, they learn to cooperate and obey each other. If nothing changes, the end of humanity will come"
