Chapter 1034 Speculations about Meteorites

It didn't take long.

During the slow and quiet journey.

The scholar in charge of arranging the team's route, gazing at the sophisticated instrument in his hand that constantly displayed various data, silently calculated for a moment, then pointed in a certain direction and addressed everyone:

"Keep going, everyone! We just need to go about 50 kilometers further!"

This statement immediately drew a chorus of agreement.

But let's be honest.

The crowd responded in agreement.

He seemed somewhat listless and weak.

It's the same idea as office workers who are forced to conform to their superiors.

Because everyone knows it very well.

Fifty kilometers is a very, very high risk in this area.

So naturally, it's hard for everyone to muster any enthusiasm...

Moreover, and most importantly, straight-line distance is never the same as the actual distance traveled.

Especially in situations where the terrain is rugged and full of various hazards.

The two are essentially unrelated.

perhaps.

Final words.

In a situation of going around in circles.

It's possible that everyone will need to travel a total of four or five hundred kilometers to reach their destination.

That is by no means a pessimistic view.

It is a very likely reality.

This makes it even harder for people to muster any enthusiasm.

And for those situations...

The scholar was naturally well aware of the situation.

But is there anything he can do?

A: There is no way.

to be honest.

Even he himself was forced into this role.

Finally, it was only after the team captain said a few encouraging words that morale was lifted.

It's not that the team leader is particularly good at inspiring people or has all sorts of speaking skills.

It's simply that people had no other choice.

Bottom line.

Everyone understands.

When there is no other choice.

Even if it's just self-comfort.

But people still want to hear some nice things and hypnotize themselves.

that's it.

With a careful and cautious attitude.

The entire team was also carrying a large amount of supplies.

Maintaining a steady pace of 15 kilometers per hour, they continued their ascent, traversing mountains and valleys...

Such speed, when faced with a disaster, truly makes it seem like every soldier is a super-soldier king in the world.

That is to say, each team member has used different types of [Sublimation Agent].

Otherwise, this would be an impossible pace of progress! But even though the entire team has shown the utmost seriousness and rigor, they still managed to achieve this.

During the journey.

People still encounter unavoidable dangers from time to time.

Such as various mutated animals that actively seek out the scent, forcing everyone to choose to confront them head-on, or mutated insects that have no brains or intelligence and will indiscriminately attack any passerby...

Fortunately.

All personnel are genuine elites.

Moreover, the team also had professional scouts exploring the way ahead.

Even in outer space, invisible to the naked eye, there are professional satellites conducting real-time observations.

Therefore, since most of the dangers could be avoided in advance, there were no casualties in the short term. Only two people were slightly injured due to a sudden attack by mutated insects.

"Guys, tell me... why are these damn mutated creatures so incredibly blessed?"

"Despite lacking intelligence, it possesses a higher energy adaptability and can become stronger by relying on meteorite energy."

"On the contrary, even though we humans have higher intelligence and more advanced science and technology, we find it difficult to absorb the energy of meteorites and can only rely on various tricks to become stronger. Do you think this is reasonable?"

Beside Ji Lang.

One of his teammates, after casually cleaving a mutated rat—30 centimeters long, nearly a meter long including its tail—into death with a single stroke, casually asked his teammates:
"damn it……"

"Given equal resources, shouldn't we humans grow stronger faster than these beasts?"

That was both a genuine question and a familiar topic.

People simply cannot understand why, with meteorite energy filling the entire planet, humans who engage in various reasonable training and possess various technologies could evolve at a slower pace than a group of mindless beasts.

To know.

No matter how you look at it, humans have an innate advantage, don't they?
Normally.

Faced with this kind of extraterrestrial meteorite that could indiscriminately affect all life.

Once humanity, with its various technological advancements and mature civilization, successfully navigates the initial period of chaos, wouldn't everyone be perfectly capable of raising all sorts of mutated creatures like dogs?
After all, oil is a completely different concept in the hands of primitive tribes and in the hands of modern civilization.

Logically speaking.

When those dozen or so meteorites successfully fell to the ground, the human civilization, though wounded, was absolutely capable of firmly occupying them, making them its own source of evolution, and blocking the evolutionary path of other species in advance... But in reality, mutated creatures gained the upper hand.

Therefore, it's not just the speaker who has this doubt; similar doubts have been lingering in the minds of many people for many years.

Even ordinary people discuss it during their leisure time.

And now, that teammate has once again brought up the topic.

Ji Lang could only helplessly recite:

"Who knows?"

"Perhaps it's aliens playing tricks."

"I think it's very likely that some aliens with technology far surpassing Earth's civilization are using Earth as an experimental field..."

Of course, that's all he said, but he only believed it to a certain extent, not completely.

In this day and age.

There are countless theories about those meteorites that suddenly appear.

Some say it's aliens conducting experiments.

Some say that the will of the Earth is secretly manipulating everything.

Some say it was the Three Pure Ones fighting Jesus, and that humanity was suffering an undeserved calamity.

……

Various schools of thought offer diverse perspectives and their own reasoning, often forming logical loops that leave people bewildered.

next moment.

As Ji Lang, the "Alien Experiment Faction," began to automatically take sides, it was as if political enthusiasts heard the sound of keyboards being typed. One after another, the "Earth's Core Meteorite Faction," the "Divine Revelation Faction," and so on, also began to take sides, solemnly stating that compared to other factions, their reasoning was undoubtedly more correct and more logical.

As someone observing from a great distance across time and space, Wu Yuan was completely stunned by the various reasoned and well-founded inferences, feeling that the truth of the matter was indeed quite complicated...
