The Death Knell

The small train left quickly. The workers worked very efficiently under the whip of the overseer. Looking at their numb eyes when carrying the corpse, it was as natural as carrying wood, and you knew that these were skilled workers.

Of course they are skilled. If they don't do it well or make the leader angry, they will most likely appear in the cage next time.

The steam was like a cloud of smoke, drifting away on the high-altitude rails. The eyes of Deathstroke and Mysterio returned to Killer. The big bear was digging out garbage like honey from a tree hole, with a A kind of naive joy.

However, there is no such thing as bees in the middle world. Even if there were, they would have mutated due to radiation and other reasons.

After a new round of gift packs dropped from the sky, many monsters in the wasteland joined the procession of rummaging through the garbage. They walked out of the shadows of the garbage mountains everywhere, crawled or rolled to the location of their choice. Silently he began to rummage.

For some reason, Su Ming saw the despair of life and the familiar numbness in the eyes of these monsters. They seemed to know that they would die sooner or later, and there was no hope left.

Giant creatures such as the Twin Thorn Demon, the Tooth Monster, the Shadow Demon, etc. all appear under the railway tracks. If they encounter them elsewhere, they will start a brutal predator battle, and the winner will eat the loser to complete the animal competition. The historical mission of natural selection.

But here, they are all like friendly neighbors. They will even give each other a tired look when they meet, and then go to silently dig through the garbage. They have completely lost the style of the top monsters in the food chain, and are more like a group of people who have been abandoned. stray dog.

Even worse than dogs, there is no fighting, no snatching, not even barking between them, they just live step by step.

"They seem to be a group of dogs." Liana obviously had the same idea as the teacher, and she couldn't explain why. Logically speaking, meeting docile monsters should be a good thing. After all, it is safer, but seeing them is like bereaved dogs. But she was a little unhappy about his behavior.

It's very contradictory. People's mentality often falls into this kind of contradiction.

"It may be the memetic infection of Killer. Even though its program has malfunctioned and turned into a garbage-picking bear, it is still a god after all." Su Ming took out a cigarette and lit it, looking through the strangling field of view. "Animal World" program: "In addition, it emits electromagnetic waves of special frequency, which may be what changes the brain waves of nearby monsters."

"A mechanical Loa that picks up trash and eats it?" Liana bit her lip and slowly shook her head: "This attribute is too complicated, and suddenly it doesn't feel cute anymore."

"Okay, the most complicated thing is not the one we have paid attention to before, green teaching black fat women, transgender people, disabled people to be gay?" Deathstroke gave an example from Earth 40K. Although he basically doesn't care about trivial matters, he does find funny things. Still concerned: "Let's talk about the Twelve Guardian Saints. Not only do they kill enemies, they basically all have procedural problems. You can simply understand them as mental illness."

"Ciri told me about cyberpsychosis, but can bionic animals also suffer from mental illness?" The student held his soda bottle, shook the remaining half of the bottle, and watched the small bubbles appear.

"Bionics is called this name because this line of technology pursues the goal of 'infinitely imitating living things with artificial objects.' After reaching a certain level, bionics will also suffer from human diseases and have human thoughts and emotions. In addition to being born in Outside of the production line, they are almost indistinguishable from humans.”

Having said this, Su Ming took a puff of cigarette and slowly exhaled the smoke:

"The program of bionic animals is almost the same as that of bionic humans, except that the carrier body is different. In other words, if they have the same intelligence level and emotions, the animal shape may have more advantages than the human shape. That is, when a person is similar to a human If your soul is trapped in such a body, you will probably go crazy easily."

"So, the end of the inner world is about scarcity of materials, and the end of the middle world is about spiritual poverty." The mysterious guest looked at the big bear eating garbage not far away. The bear's head raised its head at 45 degrees from time to time and looked into the distance. Full of melancholic temperament, I can already feel the depressive atmosphere.

At this time, if there is some more background music, it will be more appropriate if it is paired with the sky that seems to be divided by a river of light.

Obviously there are all kinds of metals or scraps around, and people can live a good life relying on these things, but according to the teacher, it seems that the living standards of the people here cannot even compare with the living standards of the inner world.

"You're right, I said that every city in the Middle World has different styles, but they all have one thing in common, that is, 99.9% of the means of production are in the hands of the 0.1% ruling class. I will show you later. Just take the train to a nearby town and see.”

Deathstroke stared at the big bear in the distance through the strangulation. Seeing that it was not full or full for a while, he also took out a big cake from his pocket to share with the students:

"Eat something first. Try not to eat at those restaurants in Mid-World, because you might eat ashes bibimbap if you're not careful."

Liana flipped her hair and smiled at Su Ming. The two of them hid behind the tree stump and had a happy picnic. Although there were garbage dumps nearby and the air didn't smell very good, there were a few people who could How about enjoying traveling in such an apocalyptic environment?

"Is that bear suffering from depression?" Liana cut the cake with a dagger, first gave the teacher a piece with strawberries, and then she picked up a piece with kiwi fruit: "I see it looking away from time to time. In the distance, is there anything in that direction worth remembering?"

"This? No, according to the original work, its memory storage device is almost broken, and it is in a state of severe amnesia."

Shaking his head, Su Ming ate the dessert and stuffed the rest of the cake into the mouth of Strangler Douya:

"It has legs on its body. If it wanted to go far away, it would have gone long ago. The action of raising its head and looking out from time to time is not as complicated as you think. It is just a short circuit in the electronic nerves, so it will freeze. You It can be understood simply as a human neck cramp.”

"Uh-huh!" The symbiote laughed as the cream filled the corners of his mouth.

Liana tilted her mouth, exhaled a little hot air from her nostrils, and shook her head speechlessly: "What a waste of my feelings. Looking at it now, it doesn't seem so pitiful."

"It's good that you understand this truth. Although as a powerful human being, you should have some compassion, because human nature also needs this kind of 'luxury' embellishment, but it is better to leave compassion to the same kind."

Deathstroke touched the symbiote's head, and took out a lot of various grenades from his pocket to choose from:

"As for the bionic bear? It doesn't even have a human shape. You can just treat it as an experimental material."

"I remember, teacher, let's do it now. Let me see how much the gods from this other world weigh." The student nodded seriously, and she transformed into a demon and ate it from her hand with a bloody mouthful. cake, and then pulled out his weapon from his chest, looking like his blood was boiling.
