Infinite Bloodcore
Chapter 76: This is...the truth
Following the footsteps and proceeding cautiously, everyone soon made a discovery.
"Lan Zhao, is it you? You're still alive! What's wrong with you?" When Cang Xu saw Lan Zhao, he could hardly believe his eyes.
In his impression, Lan Zao is a strong and steady middle-aged man who has a firm will and is always vigilant.
But now Cyanobacteria has lost a lot of weight, is unkempt, and has blood stains on his face. He was like a puppet, sitting in the lush grass, defenseless. When he heard someone calling his name, he slowly turned his head sideways, his face full of confusion and sluggishness.
Zidi's heart sank as well, and she secretly guessed: "Did he be attacked by some magical beast, causing his soul to suffer severe damage and become dementia?"
The moment blue algae was discovered, everyone was delighted.
They didn't know that cyanobacteria and yellow algae secretly evacuated and refused to save them. In the eyes of Zhenjin and others, it was a surprise that the cyanobacteria were separated from them in the sand storm and could meet up with the cyanobacteria in the oasis.
But this joy was like a gust of wind, quickly dissipating along with Cyanobacteria's mental outlook, replaced by uncertainty.
"Cyanobacteria, is there anyone else besides you?"
"Where is your brother Huang Zao?" Zhen Jin asked.
Hearing the name Xuan Zao, Lan Zao suddenly trembled, like a golem that was activated by the command.
He was stunned, and then the expression on his face changed drastically, as if all his memories had suddenly been restored.
He shouted extremely anxiously, panicked and nervously: "Sir, Lord Zhenjin, you are here!! Save my brother quickly, save him quickly."
With that said, he rushed to Zhen Jin's footsteps and hugged Zhen Jin's calf.
He saw Zidi again, as if he had just seen him, and shouted in even greater surprise: "There is also Miss Zidi, great, you are here too. With you here, I will be able to cure my brother!" "
"What happened? Calm down, Lan Zao." Zhen Jin frowned, leaned over and grabbed Lan Zao's shoulders, lifting him to stand up.
"Quick, come here!" Lan Zao suddenly broke away from Zhen Jin's hand, turned around and ran towards the nearest coconut tree.
After running a few steps, he tripped over some grass and fell to his knees on the ground.
He was very anxious, crawling and running on his hands and feet, leading the way.
The situation was very wrong, and they couldn't figure it out after asking. Zhen Jin and others cheered up and followed Lan Zao.
When he arrived under the coconut tree, the eyes of Acupuncture, who was walking at the front, narrowed slightly. He saw the yellow algae in the grass.
Huang Zao's clothes were very tattered, with most of his flesh and blood gone, and his pale ribs, arm bones, leg bones, etc. were all exposed.
He lay motionless on the ground, and the remaining half of his flesh and blood had rotted and began to produce a stench.
Huang Zao is dead, and now he is a complete corpse.
But the strange thing is that the body is still bandaged.
The bandage was obviously a long strip of cloth made from torn clothes, and it was also covered with many leaves of a huge coconut tree.
"Brother, brother, open your eyes quickly."
"Look, Master Zhenjin is here, and Miss Zidi is here too. You are saved, you are saved!"
"You are so lucky to be in the desert and still meet two adults, hahaha..."
Lan Zao knelt beside Huang Zao, supported the back of Huang Zao's head with his arms, and made the latter's upper body stand upright.
I have to say, this is a horrifying scene.
The yellow algae had long since died. His face was pale, his body was broken, and the blood and bones were shocking.
Cang Xu and Zidi who came after them saw such a scene, and their footsteps suddenly stopped in place.
"vomit."
Zidi was caught off guard and retched suddenly, almost spitting out the acidic water in her stomach.
"Huang Zao?" Behind the broken eye lenses, Cang Xu's eyes widened, "He is dead! When did he die? How did he die?"
Cyanobacteria was stimulated, shook his head wildly, and retorted repeatedly: "No, he is fine, he is not dead!"
"He's still alive."
"Cangxu, your eyes are dim! Look carefully again!"
Then, Lan Zao looked at his younger brother again, and his high-pitched voice suddenly dropped: "Brother, wake up quickly, open your eyes and take a look."
The yellow algae is already dead, how can it possibly open its eyes?
Lan Zao stared at Xuan Zao's face at close range, and gradually became anxious when he saw that the latter had no reaction.
"Brother, brother."
"Open your eyes and take a look! Open your eyes and take a look!"
The blue algae started to go crazy.
He stretched out the fingers of his right hand and opened Huang Zao's eyelids, revealing the penetrating whites of his eyes.
"Look, look, he has opened his eyes. My brother has opened his eyes!" Lan Zao shouted happily.
Zi Di and Zhen Jin were silent.
Cang Xu shook his head and sighed deeply: "Lan Zao, please wake up. Your brother... is indeed dead."
"No, he's not dead. He's not dead. You're talking nonsense, you're talking nonsense!"
Cyanobacteria yelled, becoming hysterical.
He put his ear against Huang Zao's right chest, which was half flesh and blood, half bones, and his heart was gone.
"Listen, he still has a heartbeat!" Lan Zao's face was suddenly full of surprise.
Everyone was silent.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Lan Zao became extremely anxious. He stretched out his fingers and put them at the bottom of Xuan Zao's nose.
"Look, he's still breathing!" Lan Zhao shouted.
Everyone remained silent.
Lan Zao yelled ferociously at everyone: "He's still alive!!!"
The roar was very loud. It was Cyanobacteria shouting with all his strength, shaking everyone's eardrums.
Everyone stood there, motionless like three iron men.
"He's still alive!!" Lan Zao was half-kneeling on the ground, holding Huang Zao's body in his arms. His eyes widened and he roared to everyone again.
But the roar was only half as loud as before.
Cyanobacteria's eyes were bloodshot, and tears poured down, quickly making two tear marks on his face.
"He's still alive, still alive..."
Blue Algae shouted in a low voice, as if he was still proving this to everyone, and also seemed to be calling to Yellow Algae.
The strong man's straight upper body stooped. He slowly lowered his head and buried his head deeply in Huang Zao's broken chest.
The sun had sunk below the horizon, and the last ray of light was gone.
Everything is in darkness.
The cry of cyanobacteria floats in the oasis.
He cried and told.
"It's me! It's me……"
"I killed him, I killed him."
"I killed Huang Zao, I killed my brother, I killed him, I killed my last relative in the world!"
"Woooooooo..."
"These days, I have been eating his flesh and drinking his blood."
"I survived, but he died."
"I am a murderer, I am a murderer."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, brother."
"I'm sorry, mom... I didn't take good care of him, I killed him. I deserve to die, I really deserve to die."
"Woooooooo..."
It's unimaginable that a strong man could make such pitiful cries.
The cry was like a ghost floating on the calm lake.
The starry sky at night is still bright.
The temperature in the oasis is much more normal than the outside world, and it is not as cold as the desert in the middle of the night.
And there is a bonfire.
The orange flame burned quietly, and occasionally made the crisp sound of crackling wood. Whenever a sound is made, a small stream of sparks and flames will be strung up, and then quickly dissipate in the sky.
There is a wooden rack on the bonfire, and lizard meat skewers are being cooked.
There were several coconuts beside Zhenjin and others.
There are many coconut trees in the oasis, and there are probably two types of coconut trees, one that bears coconuts and the other that bears dates.
Use a knife to cut open the coconut shell, and inside there is coconut milk that is fresh and delicious, but with a distinct sulfur smell.
The water problem is better solved.
It was much better than expected - Zhen Jin and others now not only had lake water, but also juice.
Of course, because it was night, the situation at the lake could not be determined. To be on the safe side, Zhen Jin and others did not rush to get water.
Not far away, Lan Zao was half-kneeling in the grass, his eyes dull, only staring at Xuan Zao's body. Despite the aroma of barbecue and the calls of Zhenjin and others, he did not respond. He was like a puppet, except that he could breathe, he seemed to be dead.
Bai Ya was lying next to the campfire.
His eyes were closed and he remained unconscious.
He still had a fever and it was getting hotter.
It was clear that his condition was deteriorating.
Perhaps when the next day comes, both men will be corpses.
The firelight reflected on the faces of Zhenjin, Zidi and Cangxu.
Zidi glanced in the direction of Lan Zhao, and then moved her eyes to Zhen Jin.
The girl took the initiative to break the long silence: "Sir, this kind of person cannot be allowed to stay."
"There are many teeth marks on the corpse of Xanthellae."
"Cyanobacteria eats people, and what they eat is his own brother. This kind of person is so cruel, how can we keep him?"
"I also found that the back of the blue algae seemed to have been sprayed with acid, and the wound was already rotten, but it had obviously been cared for and bandaged before. This was obviously done by the blue algae, but the blue algae could not do anything to the injury on his back. To this extent.”
"Xanthellae helped his brother and carefully bandaged Blue Algae. But Blue Algae killed him and became his own food."
Zhen Jin did not respond, his eyes remained motionless, still staring at the bonfire in front of him.
Cang Xu spoke at this time: "I have a doubt. Now that Cyanobacteria has arrived in the oasis, there is plenty of food in the oasis, and he also has weapons. Even if he cannot hunt wild beasts, there are still coconuts falling on the ground."
Zidi immediately replied: "Obviously, the blue algae came here after killing the yellow algae. Only by eating the flesh and blood of the yellow algae can the blue algae support here. Perhaps it is because of coming to the oasis, Only then did Lan Zao fall into boundless regret and pain. Because he understood that if he had not rushed to kill his brother and persisted for a while, he would have been able to come here. By then, his brother would not have died, and their brothers Both of them will survive."
Cang Xu nodded: "Master Zidi's guess is very reasonable. Therefore, Master Zidi also believes that Lanzao fell to this point precisely because of regret and pain. In other words, Lanzao is suffering from the pain in his heart. Is this the torture of kindness, morality and family affection?”
Zidi immediately frowned and glared at Cang Xu: "What do you mean? Do you want to excuse someone who killed his own brother?"
Cang Xu shook his head repeatedly and said: "Master Zidi, you misunderstood me. I don't want to excuse anyone. No matter what kind of person he is, he still killed his biological brother with his own hands. He is a Murderer!"
Having said this, Cang Xu looked at Zhen Jin again: "I just want to clarify some of the meager or narrow principles I know."
Zhen Jin became interested and said expressionlessly: "Scholar Cangxu, please be sure to say everything you want."
Cang Xu smiled slightly and threw a piece of firewood in his hand into the bonfire.
"We humans are actually very weak. Compared with wild beasts, we don't have sharp claws, hard carapace, wings to fly, or gills to breathe in the water."
"Furthermore, the intelligence that we are proud of is not actually unique to us. Elves, orcs, demons, angels, goblins, etc. all have wisdom that is not weaker than us, or even higher than that of our human race."
"Although in today's world, our human race has the strongest overall strength. But as long as we look back at history, we will find that the ancestors of mankind were at a disadvantage and struggled to survive in danger. The prosperity of the human race has become the number one force recently. It’s just a matter of hundreds of years of change.”
"So, a long time ago, when our human ancestors were eating hair, drinking blood, and surviving in nature with no clothes on, our ancestors discovered an important point: as human beings, we are too weak. Only by helping each other, can we survive in nature. By relying on each other’s strength, we have more possibilities to survive.”
"Gradually, the earliest human tribes emerged, followed by families, then the prototype of a country, and now we humans have built a powerful empire that rules the entire human continent."
"In this process, we have developed ethics and morality. We admire the strong because we can survive by relying on the strong. We recognize the nobility brought by blood because excellent blood is more likely to cultivate strong people. We have With the collective concept, personal sacrifice, and sense of honor, we despise selfishness, we advocate sharing, and we do not want to be excluded by the group. This is because the individual is too weak and gets more recognition from others in the group, which is more Conducive to individual survival.”
"However, in fact, self-interest is the original instinct of life. The emergence of ethics and morality comes after self-interest. Ultimately, ethics and morality are also due to the self-interest instinct of life."
"Just like sharing, the essence is to exchange conditions that are more conducive to one's own survival. Just like we despise selfishness because we don't want others to become selfish, which will not be conducive to our personal survival. We help others because Help allows us to survive better in a group. Surviving alone will reduce our survival and reproduction rates, and will make it more difficult for our bloodline to be passed on, regardless of whether we are high or low."
"That's enough." Zi Di shouted. She stared at Cang Xu, her eyes piercing through the bonfire between them, with a sense of anger. "Cang Xu scholar, you want to say that the reason why Lan Zao killed his biological brother is It’s because of the survival instinct. Not only are you excusing the blue algae, but you are also excusing yourself for your previous proposal to eat the white buds!”
Cang Xu did not stop because of Zidi's interruption. At this moment, he showed a rare toughness.
His eyes were always focused on Zhen Jin's face: "After mating, the female spider or mantis will eat the male. They have no ethics of love."
"The strong male lion drove away the old lion and became the new leader of the lion group. He will try his best to guard his territory and show off his power on it. He will let the female lions go out to hunt for him, and he will take the old lion out of the group. Kill all the offspring of those lion cubs. They will not have the morality of respecting the old and loving the young."
"These words sound very harsh, my lord." Cang Xu finally sighed bitterly, his eyes were sincere and sad, "But this is...the truth."
