Chapter 1053 Broken Back
Although I don’t know what the mural is, now that the disaster relief has been completed and I have nothing to do, I might as well go and take a look.
Maybe there are any clues?
Zhang Heng looked at the mine and could see that it had not been repaired for some time. According to Lan, they usually repair and reinforce the mines after the alien beasts have wreaked havoc.
The main thing is to reinforce it before the alien beast comes. After the alien beast leaves, you have to do it again. It's better to integrate the two things together.
Under the leadership of Lan, Zhang Heng quickly came to the mural they were talking about.
Murals are naturally painted on stone walls. After all, if you want to preserve the information for a long time, the best way is to carve it on the stone.
Although the painting style is wild and a bit abstract, in general the general meaning can be seen.
The first mural is painted with two things that should be flags. Under the flags are a bunch of things similar to spaceships.
The second mural shows a spaceship arriving on the planet, and then people spread out to establish a scientific research station, or pioneer station, on the planet.
The third mural started to get weird. The first two murals were still focused on technology, but the third mural started to get weird. Maybe there was a sudden change in heaven and earth, and then civilization was cut off?
The fourth mural was even more abstract. Even Zhang Heng couldn't understand it at all.
The fifth mural began to become normal. People began to rebuild cities on the ruins and create civilization. There was also a small part of the murals that described people starting to try to use special ores on this planet.
Sixth mate.
"Why are the sixth and seventh murals destroyed? I can understand the eighth mural. It's you who are rooted here, but what about the sixth and seventh murals?"
Zhang Heng found that two murals were damaged and his whole body felt bad.
Why are there still missing chapters and sections in the middle?
"It was destroyed by man." Lan smiled bitterly and said, "But I also saw these murals when I was a child. Let me tell you about it. The sixth mural is a monster, the alien beast you call attacking our ancestors. The city is the story of our ancestors' resistance, and the seventh painting is the story of a demon-slaying warrior who killed a monster. The courage of Xiaozhi and I to resist the alien beast also comes from this mural."
Lan said while stroking the destroyed mural.
It is the stories on these murals and the heroic deeds of his ancestors that planted the seeds called [courage] when he was young, allowing him to have courage when he grew up, and he was still at peace with himself despite the attacks of alien beasts. ’s younger brother formed a ridiculous-looking resistance team.
"Did they destroy it artificially?"
If it was a natural disaster, then the other six murals were all in good condition, but the mural resisting the alien beasts was destroyed. Isn't it a coincidence?
Zhang Heng counted the attack by the alien beasts as a natural disaster. He didn't think that the group of guys who left after casually destroying it would have trouble with the two murals. Besides, if they want to weaken the courage of human beings to resist, these guys should Wouldn't it be better to destroy all the murals? Anyway, it's just a matter of convenience. The most important thing about subjugating a country and annihilating a species is to cut off the inheritance of a civilization. If the characters, spirit, and beliefs are still passed down, then this nation will definitely not be considered destroyed.
"Yes." Lan nodded and said, "When we found out, it was too late to repair it."
"People from other camps?"
"Of course not. Even if we use a small spaceship to reach the camp closest to our camp, it will take three days to fly, and the amount of ore energy required is not a small amount. The mine our camp occupies is already the size of several surrounding camps. The most abundant one in the world, how could they consume precious energy and come here specifically to destroy the murals?”
The rest of the answer is self-evident. It was the people from the Lan camp who destroyed the mural.
"Are they that scared?" Zhang Heng was really angry. He could understand being afraid of alien beasts. After all, it was normal for ordinary people to be afraid of monsters like that. After all, there are only a few people who have the courage of a fool. Not to mention this world ravaged by alien beasts, even on the earth in the real world, peasant uprisings in history had to have a leader to take action first, and others would follow. Get moving.
The herd effect is never limited to sheep.
But this is just a mural! You even want to destroy murals that resist alien beasts. How cowardly are you? How scared are you of those monsters?
Moreover, this is no ordinary mural, it is a symbol of the courage and strength of your ancestors, and it is the backbone left to you by your ancestors!
You guys, how can you interrupt it with your own hands? !
Zhang Heng really wanted to discuss things with them, so Zhang Heng went.
He has always been an activist who moves faster than he thinks and is more emotional than rational. He once assassinated a gang boss for a little girl, and was then chased crazily by gangs in the entire area. He finally escaped by hiding in a container.
Then he can now seek an explanation from those unscrupulous descendants for these murals and the heroic spirits behind them!
What Zhang Heng didn't expect was that before he even came to the door, they came to him first!
"You, all of you, get out of the camp!" An old man with a metal crutch looked at Zhang Heng and his group returning to the ground from the mine, and shouted with great excitement: "Hurry! Get them out! Otherwise When the devil's wrath comes, we will all die without a burial place. You staying in the camp will only harm us all!"
"Fuck you!"
Zhang Heng respects the old and loves the young, but his respect for the old and the young has a prerequisite, that is, the goal of being respected and loved must first be self-respecting and respecting others!
Zhang Heng, who was already full of anger, kicked Lao Deng to the ground without hesitation, with just the right amount of force. It made Lao Deng's eyes go black but not enough to kill him on the spot.
The residents of the surrounding camp were shocked, but with the murderous Zhang Heng around, others did not dare to approach.
"It was you, an old thing, who destroyed the murals?"
"Those murals will bring destruction to the tribe!" Lao Deng's eyes widened and he roared with saliva flying. Who would have thought that among the hundreds of people in the entire camp, except Lan and his friends, the most courageous one was an old man who was half buried.
"You are breaking the backbone of your people! Your ancestors lost their lives in the battle with the alien beasts, in exchange for your hope of survival! I know that the alien beasts are terrible, and I don't expect you to have the courage to resist the alien beasts, but don't you even have the courage to face that history?"
"Forgetting is equivalent to betrayal!"
"Outsider, you don't understand at all!" Lao Deng's voice was still loud: "Resistance will attract the world-destroying Eighth Heaven Demon King. Once the Demon King comes, everything will-"
"Wait a moment."
The calm voice resounded throughout the camp, attracting everyone's attention.
With a violent shaking and splashing smoke and dust, and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, a huge purple head slammed into the camp. Two figures stood on the huge head, one with a strong body, like the sun in the sky, bringing people heat and sunshine, and the other emitting a faint light, but inadvertently emitting an extreme indifference.
"The Eighth Heaven Demon King you are talking about. Is this the guy?"
