planter of the future

Late spring and early summer.

It is late autumn now, and it will be no more than half a year before the end of spring and the beginning of summer next year.

An Yi took a deep breath and asked, "Are you sure?"

Dogu nodded: "I'm sure, the only thing that's uncertain is the precise time, but the scope of 'next year' is certain. Of course, if the orcs suddenly change their minds, then it's my misinterpretation."

Where is An Yi in the mood to joke with his old man, after listening to it, his brows could kill flies: "The time is too tight."

"You should be thankful for your luck. If you hadn't discovered this underground snake cave and were caught off guard next year, it would really be a disaster for mankind." Duogu shook his head, rather open-minded.

But this can't comfort An Yi at all. In the last days, An Yi experienced a wave of zombies. At that time, the zombies just broke out, and people in a small town were sticking to their strongholds. As a result, some unscrupulous people preached what sects and held what ceremonies. Shouting slogans with a trumpet drew waves of zombies.

Those zombies are all newly infected humans, their mobility is not high, and they are incomparable with fierce beasts; but there are thousands of zombies that can be killed by an old lady with a stick, and the small stronghold is even There was no strength to fight back, and they were destroyed in an instant; now, replaced by tens of thousands of beasts, they are still beasts with supernatural powers. Even the capital, Ansenst, is probably no better than that small town.

If it is the end of the world, An Yida can take Ares to escape from that purgatory directly like that time.

But now, Ares has grown up and has become the spiritual pillar of many people. Even if An Yi wanted to leave, he might not agree.

"Huh..." An Yi took a deep breath, then looked at Ares, and said, "Tell me, what is your plan?"

Ares took An Yi's hand and held it tightly.

"To be honest, the whole city must be mobilized to strengthen the city's defenses."

"To put it simply." An Yi smiled wryly: "Kerry has rebelled, but there are a lot of rats thrown in the city of Ansenster, and Ansenster is about to be stirred up into a pot of porridge. Now you say that there will be an attack by the orcs next year. Do you think the citizens will stay and share the joys and sorrows, or take refuge in those barren border towns where there are few orcs?"

"I don't know." Ares lowered his eyes and looked at An Yi quietly, with compassion that An Yi could not read in his eyes.

"But I can't abandon them. When I left the earth, many people were sacrificed. That battle was too tragic. Those people... Let me respect them. These are the descendants they protected, and they are the future they look forward to. Maybe this future is not as good as they hoped, but I can't let it break in my hands."

"I understand." An Yi smiled, his eyes were full of helplessness and a little bit of bitterness - on earth, no matter before or after the end of the world, An Yi lived very recklessly, he always only cared about the people he cared about, caring about the life and death of others ?Ares understands him, and Ares knows that An Yi doesn't think he has any responsibility to the people of this city, and An Yi will first avoid his edge.That's why Ares told An Yi first, "I can't do it, I want to stay."

What else could An Yi do?Abandon Ares and leave?hehe.

An Yi sighed and compromised: "So, what shall we do?"

Ares tightened his hands, and his expression returned to his calm indifference: "As discussed before, develop a press conference to announce the Anjia exercise and your mental strength exercise. And said that the reason why we entered the Xifan forest a month ago , is to search for the orcs, and this month is to study the murals of the orcs."

An Yi raised his eyebrows, so that he could completely veto the Kerry faction's accusation that Ares "did not do his job properly, and followed him into the Xifan Forest for the sake of his lover's happiness", and they also produced definite evidence of the orc race, killing two birds with one stone.

but.

"Even if the citizens believe it, how can we get them to stay and fight the orcs together?"

"Large-scale migration is dangerous. Losing the protection of the city will only make the rise of the orcs more rapid and smooth. Between the pros and cons, we must rely on Lilith and the others to guide public opinion." Aristos paused for a moment, frowning and said: "However, there must still be people who will leave. Therefore, I decided to organize a guard to escort those who decided to leave to a border town far away from the forest. The rest..."

Ares didn't say any more, because he didn't know what would happen next.

"What about other countries?" An Yi asked: "The Xifan forest is so big, and there are many other small forests, so Ansenster can't resist this alone."

"Since Kerry defected, Xinyate has closed the country, closed the city gate, cut off the information, and I don't know what's going on; Musma, I have sent someone to deliver the letter; as for Andreto... The riot in the ice field mine expanded into a civil disturbance in their country, which was probably also written by Kerry. Once Andruto was in chaos, we had to be distracted and take care of the border over there, thus giving him a chance to escape. "

An Yi sighed: "Well, if you didn't know everything, I would definitely suspect that Kerry is a spy sent by the orcs."

The room fell silent for a moment.

At this time, Duogu spoke slowly again.

Dogu: "Are you finished? Then I will continue."

An Yi stared: "What else?"

Duogu pushed his glasses, and drew out a light screen, on which there were many anatomical diagrams and many hand-drawn diagrams.

An Yi saw the long snake tail at a glance, and asked suspiciously, "Is it the autopsy of those two beast races?"

"That's right." Dogu slowly raised his eyes, pulled out a pointer from somewhere, and flicked the screen on the light screen for a long time: "I talked about the time when the beasts fought fiercely, now let's analyze the abilities of the beasts." question."

When An Yi heard this, he immediately sat up straight.

"According to the information you have collected, the abilities against the orcs are temporarily divided into three types."

"One, the ability to drive with the energy of crystal mines and use patterns as a medium. For example, the ratman."

"Second, natural abilities. For example, the horned python and the snake man in the lava cave have the ability to temporarily paralyze their prey."

"Three, like a person with supernatural powers, he has supernatural powers. For example, the red-tailed snake man."

Duogu took back the pointer and said: "I don't need to say much about the second one. Birds can fly, poisonous snakes are poisonous, and scorpions are stings. These are innate, and I am afraid they are all kinds of strange things. You can only adapt to the situation when the time comes. But the second The first and third abilities are more difficult."

An Yi interrupted and said: "It's the other way around. The first and third two are not much different from our mechanical spirit soldiers and supernatural beings, and the number of orcs with this ability is very small. So what we need to pay attention to is The second is right."

Unexpectedly, Dogu shook his head.

"There is another detail. You said that the red-tailed cub just broke its shell and its memory was confused. You also intercepted it, didn't you?"

An Yi nodded. He had told the old man everything about the underground snake cave in detail.

"I think the inheritance model of the orcs, or the snake-humans, is very similar to bee colonies and ant colonies. The red tail is the queen. The first born will kill other unborn ones to ensure the status of queen. And the previous queen It has the responsibility to teach the next queen, or help her straighten out her memory."

An Yi's eyes widened: "Inherit memory?"

"That's right. I heard their conversations from what you said, and combined with the murals, I deduced this conclusion. The queen's memory of the snake people is cumulative, but the cumulative is only about the use of their abilities; when the queen of this generation kills other queens After confirming that it is the only one, all its memories will be awakened, and the previous queen has the responsibility to teach. Of course, after the teaching is over, the life of the previous generation of queens will come to an end."

"So?" An Yi didn't quite understand.

Dogu sighed, and said: "So, they have a much more thorough understanding of their own abilities than human supernatural beings. What does that mean? It means that the number of the top part of the beast race's ability pyramid is more than that of humans. And that part What does it mean to have one more number? You can imagine that Lord Thain alone fought against the tens of thousands of Xinyete's troops."

An Yi didn't want to imagine at all.

"There is also the ability of that mouse. It looks very similar to the mechanical spirit soldier, but the essence is different. Have you read magic novels?"

An Yi: "..."

Ares responded, "You mean, magicians and puppets?"

"Yes!" Dogu slapped his thigh excitedly, and said, "Magicians use spells or magic circles as the medium, and use the staff—that is, the rat's staff—as the energy drive. This is a long-distance attack. Ability, if its ability is strong enough, it can cause a large-scale destructive attack, which is not inferior to those ability users at the top of the pyramid."

"And our mechanical spirit soldiers, puppets. Most of them are auxiliary weapons for humans, and there are quite a few long-range ones, but they are not as flexible as those orc 'magicians' to cause large-scale attacks. Mechanical spirit soldiers are flexible, It's the 'puppets' that can act independently, they can also cause a wide range of attacks, but they can't be as precise as the 'magician'."

"To sum up, in terms of capabilities, our strength may be insufficient. So I suggest that in the past few months, the military factories should start working overtime."

After Duogu finished his research results of the past month, he returned to his harmless little old man's appearance, and started drinking a cup of black tea.

An Yi leaned against the back of the sofa and said, "You must not tell the citizens about this."

Ares didn't speak, but looking at his expression, he agreed with An Yi's proposal - if this conclusion was made public, Ansenster might become an empty city.
