Chapter 908 Humanity Shakes the Stars: The Limits of Human Power!
A way out?!
We still have a way to survive!
Luo Yun's words were like a pebble thrown into a tranquil lake, creating huge ripples.
People who were already feeling hopeless and in extremely bad spirits subconsciously turned to look at Luo Yun.
At that moment, people's eyes brightened considerably.
People stared intently at Luo Yun, hoping he would reveal a way to survive.
But when Luo Yun met the hopeful gazes of the people, he felt an intense sting.
He opened his mouth, but the words that were on the tip of his tongue just wouldn't come out.
Fortunately, Lanling reached out and nudged Luo Yun, bringing him back to his senses.
Luo Yun then continued, "Next, everyone, please form your own teams according to my instructions."
"Men and women pair up and enter the overlapping space-time area in front of them."
"As you all probably already know."
"What lies before us, blocking our path, is the rare overlap of spacetime in the starry sky, also known as a time trap."
"The flow of time inside is completely different from that outside."
"Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for us to cross this area of overlapping time if we rely solely on our individual abilities."
"Therefore, we must act together and no one can be left behind."
"One thing I can guarantee is that the resources I have are enough to support us living for thousands of years in the time-overlapping region."
"Although we cannot survive for ten thousand years with these resources, we humans have creativity. I believe that with these resources and the efforts of generations of descendants, we will definitely be able to leave this area."
Luo Yun's words left many people in the audience completely bewildered.
They could understand what was said earlier, of course.
In other words, the chances of survival are definitely higher when everyone acts together than when acting alone.
However, what followed was rather puzzling.
What does it mean for generations of descendants to work hard?
What does it mean?
Just then, Lanling added, "Captain Luo's meaning is very simple."
"Everyone should understand their situation by now."
"There is a harsh reality before us, and we have to face it."
"That is, in terms of human lifespan, none of us here are capable of escaping this area of overlapping time."
"But that doesn't mean we can't get out."
At this point, Lanling paused, giving a meaningful look to everyone present.
Her explanation seemed somewhat contradictory.
Because she said that no one has any hope of escaping the area where time and space overlap.
But then the next sentence says, "We still have hope of going out."
However, these two seemingly contradictory statements, combined with Luo Yun's aforementioned arrangements, make sense.
Many people present gradually came to understand.
Some things are too cruel to say directly, and they can be hard for people to accept.
Letting people figure it out themselves makes it easier for them to accept things.
Even so, the crowd gradually became noisy.
As more and more people figured it out, the scene immediately descended into chaos.
"Wait a minute?!"
"Captain Luo, you're not saying that if our generation doesn't finish, there will be the next generation."
"Anyway, time inside is different from that outside, so we can still experience our entire lives inside."
"But to outsiders, it looked like we died very quickly after we went in."
"But in reality, it is possible to live a whole life in our own senses."
"Huh? This...this...this means that we can reproduce and pass on our lineage from generation to generation, letting future generations complete this journey for us..."
"..."
People were talking about it.
When most people understood, many found it hard to accept.
At this moment.
People then suddenly realized what was going on.
No wonder Captain Luo Yun arranged for men and women to be paired up...
In an instant, the crowd erupted in chaos, with many people panicking and bewildered.
In a sense, this is indeed a feasible approach.
After all, as chosen ones of the gods, Luo Yun and his companions possessed enough resources to ensure their initial consumption upon entering the spacetime overlap region.
Just as Luo Yun said.
Given human creativity, it's not impossible for it to continue from generation to generation.
Can……
But asking them to accept such an arrangement rashly is difficult for them to accept, both from an ethical and moral standpoint and from a personal emotional perspective.
After all, humans are not machines.
It's impossible to be so calm.
"Don't worry, I won't force you to enter the spacetime overlap area."
"Those who are unwilling can wait here for death to come."
The next moment, Luo Yun interrupted the discussion of the crowd.
His voice, imbued with divine power, clearly reached the ears of everyone present.
However, some people were still not convinced and immediately raised their doubts.
"Captain Luo, we can go back. We can just turn back the way we came."
"Even if we lose this battle, losing doesn't necessarily mean we'll die, right?"
"But once you enter that spacetime overlap area, you're guaranteed to die!"
Turning back?
Upon hearing this, a bitter look flashed in Luo Yun's eyes.
He knew, of course, that he could turn back and simply choose another direction to continue down the same path.
However, let's set aside for now the competitors of the Yamato New Species.
Even if the team were to return along the original route, that would be unrealistic.
After all, just getting this far has already caused heavy losses to the humans on Earth.
With the current human population, even if they were to return, it would be a major challenge to risk their lives to forge a safe path out of the wasteland.
Moreover, even if a few people were able to leave the wasteland...
But where else can they choose to go?
In this eternal dead zone, apart from eerie areas like the wasteland...
For ordinary people, there are countless dangers that could be fatal, and they could encounter them at any time.
Therefore, Luo Yun didn't even need to answer the person who made the suggestion in a panic.
He was quickly interrupted by someone nearby.
"Forget it."
"I can't go back."
"We have come this far because our predecessors have paved the way for us with their lives."
"If we turn back now, wouldn't all those who came before have died in vain?"
"Furthermore, even if we wanted to turn back, how many of the remaining people would be willing to risk certain death to pave a safe path for us?"
"As the person who made this suggestion, would you be willing to accept it?"
The probing questions left the man who had said he was turning back speechless.
"Oh dear, why are you all being so fussy and indecisive?"
"What time is it? Do you want the people in front to die for nothing?"
"If they can do it, and dare to do it, what don't we dare to do!"
"Besides, our fate is no better than that of those who died unjustly before us."
"At least I can leave behind a descendant!"
Having gone through so many events.
And this was under such high pressure.
This has also rapidly changed the mindset of some ordinary people in the crowd.
The initial representatives from Earth were, of course, mostly panicked and terrified.
No one is unafraid of the unknown.
Even someone as powerful as Chu Yun would feel immense pressure when he realized that he had entered a situation he could not face on his own.
Even those favored by the gods, such as Chu Yun, Luo Yun, and Lan Ling, are like this.
Not to mention ordinary people who have no fighting ability and have never participated in any war.
But the powerful side of humanity is also on full display at this moment.
Humans are a species that can adapt to their environment quickly.
This may explain why, in the evolutionary journey of all races on Earth, humanity was able to stand out and ultimately become the dominant race on the planet.
Many people at the scene have been influenced by the actions of those who were willing to sacrifice themselves to bring a glimmer of hope to everyone.
Therefore, Luo Yun's arrangement quickly garnered a considerable response.
Seeing this, Luo Yun didn't say anything more, but immediately made the arrangements.
Under the guidance of Lanling and other chosen ones, the group organized themselves in an orderly manner and prepared to enter the spacetime overlap area ahead.
Of course.
A small number of people did not take any action.
They looked around in terror, some of them having a mental breakdown and screaming.
Some people were laughing hysterically, clearly unable to withstand the pressure and already somewhat deranged.
Kevin sat there in despair.
He stared blankly at the people around him, who one by one left the group and headed towards Luo Yun and the others.
Kevin simply couldn't understand it.
Are these people crazy?
If you know you're doomed, why would you go and throw your life away?
The worst that can happen is that we lose one game.
Or rather, it's not a big deal that the entire Earth lost to the Yamato Cenozoic.
Since I'm still alive, isn't that more important than anything else?
Kevin has been an orphan since he was a child, from the moment he became conscious. He doesn't even have an ID card and can only struggle to survive at the bottom of society.
He just wanted to survive.
The grand principles of family and country that those important figures spoke of did not belong to him, nor did the dazzling lights and bustling nightlife of the city.
"Brother Kevin, take this."
Just as Kevin was in a daze.
Having had a pleasant conversation with him before, the middle-aged man, Zhao Hongde, a merchant from the Great Xia Kingdom, suddenly reached out and stuffed a strip of cloth into Kevin's hand.
Kevin woke up with a start and instinctively looked down.
He then saw that he was holding a piece of the collar of a suit jacket in his hand.
There were several glaring and conspicuous blood-red characters on it.
"Um, Brother Zhao, what's this?"
Kevin didn't recognize the Chinese characters, but he did notice that Zhao Hongde's right hand was bleeding.
His suit was impeccably tailored, but the collar was tattered.
Clearly, the piece of collar with blood-written words in his hand was torn from his clothes by Zhao Hongde.
Moreover, there was no paper or pen on site, at least not Zhao Hongde himself.
So he could only bite his index finger and write some words on it.
Zhao Hongde lowered his head, forcefully tore a piece of fabric from his clothes, and then used it to bandage his injured finger.
He winced and made faces in pain.
"Nothing."
"I just left some messages for my daughter and wife."
