The whole country develops a different world

Such a messy and cramped place filled with a smell of rust made the deer head feel inexplicably at ease, at least it is not as cold as outside.

The deer-headed man returned all the way to his living cabin, put his hand on the door lock, and with a click of his fingerprints, the heavy door slowly opened.

The room inside is very simple, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a bare house.A seven-meter-long steel bed, a huge sofa and a steel table with a huge stainless steel cup and a stainless steel rice bowl.Nothing else but this is the environment in which most foragers live.

It's not that the collectors don't want to improve their lives, but all kinds of materials are too expensive. The points they get from collecting activities at the risk of their lives every day are already a bit difficult to pay for living expenses, and it is impossible to buy any more. Those expensive furniture and replacement living environment.

Every day, collectors can only spend their few remaining points in bars and virtual reality, and enjoy themselves to their heart's content.After all, if you don't enjoy it now, you might die next time you set out on a mission.

The living environment is harsh, the materials are extremely scarce, and they need to risk their lives to go to human cities to collect energy every day.

Because of the existence of human beings, various civilizations can only rely on space jumps to safely transport materials into shelters on the earth.Die a few times and hundreds of space jumps are nothing to these second-level civilizations, but if they die thousands of times, even they can't bear it.

Especially now that they are far away in the solar system, very far away from their five stars, it is difficult to get sufficient supplies of various energy sources and devices.In addition, a large amount of energy is used to defend against humans, and it is even more impossible to transport a large amount of materials into the shelter for the collectors.

The deer-headed man picked up the rice bowl on the table and walked out of the living cabin, came to the food vending machine downstairs, put his hand on the fingerprint verification plate, and then put the rice bowl under the slot.

Since it was already ten o'clock in the morning, the dining period had already passed, and a new round of collection operations had already begun, so there was no one queuing up before the physical sale.

beep!

A light yellow thick fluid flowed out of the inlet and fell into the huge stainless steel rice bowl.These thick fluids are nutrient fluids with extremely high nutritional content. The only disadvantage is that they taste unpalatable, full of a disgusting weird smell.

The deer-headed man glanced at his points, couldn't help but sighed, and said: "These points are not enough to go to the bar once, so we must sell that thing as soon as possible, hoping to get a good price."

Next, the deer head man lay on the bed after eating food, closed his tired eyes, and fell into a deep sleep. Under the monitoring of nano-robots, everything was so normal.

As for what the deer head man said?The robot has already detected it, but it is just some books of old-time humans.All human civilizations have already collected all the books, which are nothing to them, but to the collectors, these books are invaluable treasures, and the things contained in them may save his life at a critical moment.

For example, the collectors know some words that can effectively attract human beings from some books or other objects of human beings. As long as they are spoken out, they can generally attract the attention of human beings, such as the most typical trough, 666, grass.

Generally, collectors will make some robots to play these sounds. Once they encounter humans, they will throw these robots out, and then turn around and run away.These robots that constantly emit words that attract human attention have a certain chance of attracting human attention, thereby increasing their chances of escape.

……

The next day, in a bar in the gatherer's residential area.

As soon as the deer head walked into the door, the strong smell of alcohol came to his face, and a large number of collectors were drinking cheap alcohol here.Some of the poorer ones even directly drank "ordinary wine" mixed with industrial alcohol and water.

The whole bar gave people the feeling of being extremely messy, with the wine tables arranged irregularly, and the collectors were crazy about drinking, imitating the wine table culture of human society.At the same time, there were also some drunk collectors who fell asleep directly. Most of the places where they slept were on the ground, and many of them slept directly on the aisles.

The messy scene here is the same as the living area of ​​the collectors outside, with a prominent feature that is chaos, as much chaos as possible.

How is the collection disorderly and chaotic with the surroundings? The steel forest, which is like pasting and copying, forms an extremely sharp contrast. The two sides are clearly close to each other, but they are like two worlds.

All the way to the depths of the bar, the deer head saw a gate, and two werewolves stood in front of the gate.

The deer head came to the two werewolves and said, "I want to exchange some things from human cities for points."

A werewolf glanced at the stag-headed man sharply and asked, "What exactly is it?"

"Book." The deer head man replied.

Hearing this, the two werewolves didn't stop them, they turned around and opened the door.

Chapter 241 Everyone is in a hurry, but you are more anxious than me, so I will make you more anxious.

The deer head walked into the room, the light in the room was different from the darkness of the bar, it was very bright, and it was a different world from the dark, messy and noisy bar outside.

At the same time, there are a lot of decorations in the room, filled with all kinds of strange things, such as wooden tables, tattered human car frames, various human statues in strange clothes... These things can be seen from the perspective of human beings. It looks like garbage, but in the eyes of the collectors, this is a symbol of power.

These things can only be found in the depths of human cities, and some of them need to go deep into the buildings to get them at the risk of being hammered into flesh at any time.If you don't have some strength and energy, it is impossible to get so many things.

The deer-headed man glanced at the row of small human statues on the wooden table, and for some reason suddenly had a strange desire. He also wanted such a human statue.

This phenomenon is actually not surprising, most collectors have this situation.Because of their work, collectors may be crushed by humans at any time. It can be said that collectors are the group that understands the horror of human beings best.Collectors are extremely afraid of humans, and when they encounter other enemies outside, even if the opponent is stronger than them, collectors dare to fight.But if they encounter humans, for the sake of survival, the collectors seldom retaliate against humans, and some even feel weak when they see humans.

Because they grew up under the haze shrouded by humans since childhood, every once in a while, there are people killed by humans around them, and the fear of humans for the collectors has been deeply rooted in their bones.

This kind of fear made them have a morbid psychology. The more they were afraid of humans, the more the collectors would try every means to make themselves more like humans.Using human language, learning how humans speak, learning human family structures, using human language... It's kind of like Stockholm Syndrome.

However, the collectors crazily learn all kinds of things about humans, not all because of Stockholm Syndrome, there is another reason, that is, if they make themselves closer to humans, then the possibility of escaping from humans is greater .

Experienced collectors are very aware of the horror of human beings, and at the same time, they are vaguely aware that human beings still have the emotions mentioned in some old human books, or sympathy.Aware of this, some collectors began to learn human language and human speaking ways from books, and even asked their descendants to form a human family structure, as close as possible to human beings.

Using this method to increase the probability of survival sounds very metaphysical, without any theoretical basis, just a group of lunatics of the opposite sex.In the beginning, most collectors scoffed at this method. Could it be that if you behaved more like those monsters, those monsters would not attack you? This is obviously impossible.

But as time went on, more and more collectors began to move closer to humans, using methods they used to sneer at to increase the probability of survival.There is no other reason for this phenomenon, because this method is really effective. When being hunted down by humans, there is a high probability that the collectors who use the old human language will not be the first to attack.

The thinking of most of the previous collectors is not wrong, even if they are attacking humans, humans will still attack them.But if there is a group of gatherers standing there, humans generally will not take the lead in attacking those gatherers who speak human languages.

This is very fucked up, you won't be the first to be attacked, then I will be the one who is most likely to die on the spot when encountering humans in the future! ?

Faced with this situation, even if they don't believe in this method, it can really increase the probability, and most of the collectors are gnashing their teeth and learning.Not to mention learning human language and habits, as long as they can improve eating shit, collectors are willing to try.

But no matter how close the collectors are to humans, they are still not humans. Even if they evolve the same social structure as humans and have human kinship, they are fundamentally different from humans.

That is, all foragers are barren, and it can even be said that they have no sex. They all come out of reproductive factories.They cannot reproduce at all, they are just tools produced by interstellar civilizations, products of the assembly line.

This is why various interstellar civilizations tacitly allow these collectors to learn from humans, even if they have learned human language, human culture, and human thinking.It is useless to know your own situation and have a rebellious mentality.

Because they are just products, a kind of assembly line industrial products, they have no way to produce by themselves, and their next generation will always be in the hands of interstellar civilization.

A burly werewolf with a blind right eye in the room looked at the stag-head man who walked in, and said hoarsely, "What do you want to sell?"

"Human books." The staghorn took out a square metal box from his arms.

Seeing this metal box with a special shape, the werewolf man's expression was stunned for a moment, then his eyes became a little hot, and he asked quickly, "How did you get this thing! This is the legacy of old humans!"

Relics of old humans: At the beginning, no one knew what was contained in these iron boxes. They only knew that the places where these boxes were stored were usually guarded by kings.Later, with several wars, some places were bombed to pieces, and some iron boxes that were not damaged in the battle were scattered around, which can generally be found in the ruins of the battle relics.

Open these iron boxes, and you can get various old human items and a fixed virtual image. From the image, it can be known that these iron boxes are actually the relics of the soldiers of the human fleet.

Before the battle, all the soldiers of the human fleet prepared their last words first, and when he died in battle, the government would send the box to his family.For some reason, it seems like the boxes were not sent.

However, this does not prevent the collectors from obtaining various useful things from it. Their human language is learned from one of the boxes.

Until today, most of the human relics left outside have been scraped away by collectors, which also makes new human relics very precious.

After calming down, the werewolf continued to ask: "You said that there are books in this human relic, which means that you should have opened this human relic. You must know that human paper books cannot be stored for so long. If there is no If it is opened under protective conditions, it is very likely that it will be wiped out in an instant."

When human civilization died out, all major civilizations have more or less records, but their collectors don't know.From some clues, the collectors speculated that the extinction of human beings took at least a hundred years or even longer.

When they first obtained these human relics, the collectors also opened them directly, causing a large number of items to oxidize and be completely damaged.

"If the items inside oxidize and turn into a lump of powder, then you can only get points for this box."

"Don't worry, the contents inside are not damaged. I know that human relics cannot be opened directly." The deer head put the iron box on the table.
