They Had No Concept of Resistance
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Skywing A naturally heard the commotion from the control panel.
They even crossed regions and overheard conversations between the city lords.
He looked at the increasingly trembling tumor in front of him, thought for a moment, and then put it into the Anomaly Cage.
The strangeness of the promotion process left them utterly powerless to resist.
The blood tumor in the container disappeared, leaving only a black sphere spinning around on the ground.
Skywing A flew out by making a hole in the top of the building.
In the last second before the building was about to self-destruct, the self-destruct mechanism was destroyed using wind blades.
He looked at the fighter jet carrying the city lord, which had just taken off and was now just a small black dot.
Skywing A doesn't plan to pursue the other person.
Since the other party has abandoned the city anyway, according to the Humanity Code, the city will automatically belong to him, that is, to the Anomaly Containment Association Society.
Let the winds of freedom blow.
What each liberated world ultimately becomes largely depends on the personality of the Contract Anomalist who carries out the mission.
Coincidentally, this world is called the Realm of Freedom, which perfectly matches Skywing A's character of pursuing freedom. However, he did not see freedom in this Realm of Freedom.
Perhaps some haven't given up, and want to research something to change the outside environment, freeing them from these nine steel cities, allowing them to go outside and gain true freedom.
Perhaps their purpose in establishing these nine cities was to preserve humanity's existence, and also so that one day they could return to their original homeland.
Skywing A had previously seen research in the lab on how to improve the high-temperature environment outside, which meant that they had at least not given up on the possibility of returning to the outside world.
Unfortunately, people change.
Having access to inexhaustible, high-purity energy at minimal cost, people gradually lost their yearning for the outside world.
I don't feel there's anything wrong with staying in the city.
Of course, a city cannot function on this energy alone; it also needs a lot of other things besides energy, such as food, drink, clothing, and other necessities.
The size of a city means that its resources are limited. They need a lot of labor but do not want to allocate these resources.
free?
Skywing smiled. The ordinary people harbored such great resentment, yet none of them had ever developed the will to resist. One reason was that their resentment was absorbed by this strange creature.
Another reason is the brainwashing they've received from higher-ups and the suppression of their access to knowledge.
As long as they feel that what they are doing is normal and correct, and that they can only obtain the right to housing through this labor.
As for why those elites receive more resources and treatment than the rest?
That's because the elites contribute more to the city; they can develop technologies that improve the external environment.
If the external environment improves and becomes suitable for human survival, then they will be able to obtain more resources.
Ordinary people can't even read, so what can they do besides hard and heavy labor?
They had absolutely no will to resist.
If you don't even have the will to resist, how can you possibly resist?
Skywing A disappeared from above the building.
His figure could no longer be seen on the surveillance cameras.
The city lords who had been paying close attention were all stunned.
"What about the Divine Scion?"
"Did he take the Divine Scion away?"
"I think I saw him throw something over, and then the Divine Scion disappeared."
"I never expected he could stop the self-destruct mechanism."
"This creature is truly terrifying; it possesses intelligence that doesn't belong to humans."
If his intelligence is not high enough, he will not be able to accurately destroy the device without detonating the weapons inside.
"No, let's look at it another way. If he's not afraid of this device, then he doesn't need to stop it or run away, right?"
"Do you really think this kind of monster would worry about the explosion affecting the people inside the building?"
That's rather ridiculous.
Doesn't this mean that none of the monsters in their group are as kind-hearted as the rest of the group?
The Second City Lord asked the First City Lord, who had remained silent until now, "What do you think?"
The city lord of number one rested his hand on the armrest, his fingers tapping it repeatedly, as if deep in thought.
"Number 3, have you arrived in city number 8 yet?"
City No. 3 Lord: "I just arrived."
City Lord No. 1: "Don't go back yet. Have the others in City No. 2 search for that monster's whereabouts. Hopefully, he's still there."
However, the city lord of number one believed that the monster would not stop. Since its purpose in appearing here was to obtain those Divine Scion, it was impossible for it to leave after taking only one.
The remaining eight are definitely also the opponent's target.
They're still discussing it here.
On the other side, the fighter jets sent by the United States actually passed through the vortex and arrived in the Realm of Freedom.
"It's really hot here."
The pilots in the fighter jets couldn't take it anymore after only a few minutes at high altitude.
"The environment here has been completely destroyed."
He sighed as he looked down.
Ground vegetation is extremely scarce; any plants that can survive in such high temperatures are heat-resistant.
Most of the plants that couldn't withstand the high temperatures have already died.
Fortunately, the existence of the ocean allowed the algae on the seabed to escape disaster. As long as the algae's ecosystem is not destroyed, oxygen can still be supplied to humans on land.
However, this only applies if the high temperature remains at this level and will not continue to rise.
If temperatures continue to rise without improvement, species extinction is not far off.
Of course, this had nothing to do with the pilot. He flew in a circle, deliberately avoiding the city that Skywing A had gone to, and instead took a longer route to another city.
"We can already see the city below; it's truly magnificent."
The pilot was deeply impressed.
This was the first time he had ever seen such a massive steel city, covering such a vast area.
Such spectacular sights, caused by the different environment of the world, cannot be seen on Blue Star.
He circled in the air once.
However, it was quickly discovered by the city below.
He was just about to show off his skills.
A giant cannon suddenly appeared in the city below, and then a laser beam shot out, striking the fighter jet at extremely high speed.
The pilots didn't even have time to disengage from their fighter jets before they exploded in the sky above the city.
After shooting down the fighter jet, the giant cannon was retracted.
This scene was also broadcast live outside.
The faces of the top United States were ashen.
That fighter jet is the best they have here.
"Their technology seems quite advanced. If we could reach a cooperation agreement with them, they must be facing a severe food shortage there, right?"
After all, planting is not easy under high temperatures.
