Void Jigsaw Puzzle

After Pierce finished speaking, he seemed to be calm. He picked up the teacup on the table, took another sip of tea, and then said to himself: "It's a bit cold..."

Zhong Chenmu wanted to rush up and punch the old man at this moment.

The other three were in similar moods.

Zhong Chenmu read murderous intent in the eyes of the old man Liu opposite him.

However, he still restrained himself and shook his head firmly at the other three, signaling them not to be impulsive.

So, this picture is a bit weird.

A 17-year-old boy is using body language to persuade a retired old man and a middle-aged couple not to act rashly...

He pondered for a moment, then looked at Pierce and asked, "So, do you think the law of the jungle, common among our distant ancestors, is the only way out? Do we have to use this method to determine the winner? And the Hydrogen Tribe only recognizes this method?"

Pierce showed a hint of surprise, put the teacup back on the low table, and asked, "What else? You're a college student, and you've been immersed in the library for so long, and you haven't even grasped this point? How did you get into college back then? Wasn't it because your scores surpassed your classmates? They scored 600, and you scored 601. You got one extra point, and one more hope of getting into future college. How did you pass the interview and get a job at the library? You got a 9 out of a total of 8 out of a written test and an interview, and yet you were selected. If the Hydrogen Clan doesn't recognize the law of the jungle, why did they come up with this 'normalization' plan? Aren't the rules of this game essentially our elimination tournament?"

Pierce's tone was not as sharp as Zhong Chenmu's, but it was very heavy, and the parallel rhetorical questions left everyone stunned.

Who says he is wrong?

Whether it’s the test scores, assessment scores, or the game system, isn’t it essentially the law of the jungle?

Survival of the fittest seems to be a natural law.

There was a brief silence in the room.

I could only hear the sound of the wind outside.

The sound of the wind was blocked by the walls and windows of the house and had become very weak, sounding like someone sobbing in a distant place.

Zhong Chenmu stood up and shook his head firmly. "No, all your conclusions are based on a major premise: resources are limited, opportunities are limited. In our past, this major premise seemed to have become a matter of course, and no one would question it. On this basis, of course, what you just said is true. However, we are now a 'reborn' civilization. Although we still inherit a flawed past and we ourselves are still 'imperfect', we are in a completely new environment and have brand new possibilities. Why should we continue to survive in the same way as before?"

"Oh? Interesting... What makes you say that this premise no longer exists?" Pierce raised his eyebrows.

He also unconsciously entered the agenda and framework set by Zhong Chenmu.

He knew that this was wrong and that he would be led by the nose, but curiosity overcame caution.

"Because, don't you think the Hydrogen Tribe doesn't have a resource shortage problem? If they did, they wouldn't have picked us up from the universe, resurrected us, given us bodies strictly according to our suggestions, and maintained our operations. Furthermore, they completely sealed us off in this nameless city. If they hadn't proactively broken through the boundaries, we would never have been aware of their existence."

Before Pierce could react, Guo Ling shouted, "I understand! Because these actions are extremely energy-consuming. If they had resource problems, they wouldn't do that at all!"

With his decades of life experience and reading accumulation, it is not difficult to understand why Guo Ling was enlightened by Zhong Chenmu.

The essence of resource issues is also energy issues.

As long as the energy supply is sufficient, there will be no resource problems.

At most, there is an efficiency problem in energy and resource conversion.

If the hydrogen family is in a state of extremely abundant energy, they will not fight for anything related to it at all.

The environment they live in is no longer a jungle.

They have come out of the jungle.

Perhaps, in their memories, there are still some memories of the jungle, but now, they are in the vast universe and no longer need to fight for a tree hole or a nest.

Old Man Liu and Fan Ting also understood immediately.

They haven't found any loopholes in this view yet.

Of course, since this is their own point of view, they are naturally too lazy to think about it...

Pierce's face, which had been relaxed until then, began to darken.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but he couldn't speak.

However, as if he suddenly thought of something, he quickly adjusted his mood, and the twitch at the corner of his mouth turned into a sneer: "So, you think the Hydrogen Clan has infinite energy and resources?"

Zhong Chenmu shook his head: "No, I think we should be careful with the word 'infinite'. We should use 'very rich' instead."

"That's quite remarkable... You're right, I hadn't thought of that before..."

Pierce actually accepted Zhong Chenmu's point of view, with an unfathomable smile on his face.

"However, the killing has already occurred, and now we are powerless to stop it. Soon, the winners of the Huayue and Muyue teams will be here to report the results of the battle."

"you......"

Zhong Chenmu rushed to Pierce and reached out to grab his collar.

He couldn't bear it anymore.

Suddenly, his right wrist, which was reaching for Pierce's collar, was grabbed by a hand.

When I looked closely, it turned out to be Old Man Liu.

"Don't be impulsive... If you want to beat him, I should go first..." Old man Liu raised his fist.

"..."

At this moment, the door of the house was slammed open, and the fallen door even hit the low table in the middle, knocking the teacups and plates on the table "ping pong" and scattering them everywhere, making the cups and plates a mess.

Fortunately, there was a carpet on the floor and the cup did not break.

Standing at the door was a sturdy man who was breathing heavily. He had short gray hair, his clothes were tattered, his face was bruised, blood was still flowing from his nose, and his eyes were open with fanaticism and expectation.

There were many people following behind him.

The security guard who had brought Zhong Chenmu and the others in earlier squeezed in at this time, gasping for breath and shouting, "Sorry, President, I didn't stop them. They were too reckless..."

"Who said we are reckless? We need to tell the good news to the president as soon as possible! Only in this way can we help our dead brothers and sisters to be reborn on Taibai Star as soon as possible!" The sturdy man glared at him fiercely.

The security guard didn't dare to speak anymore.

Pierce took the opportunity to break free from Zhong Chenmu and Old Man Liu, quickly walked up to the burly man, and regained his superior demeanor. "The color of your halo is... light green, so, are you from Team Muyue?"

"Yes! All the dozen or so people behind me are like that!"

"What about Team Huayue?"

"We wiped them all out! Not a single one survived!" The sturdy man's eyes lit up with pride as he gritted his teeth and said, "They refused to surrender and insisted on resisting to the bitter end. We had no choice but to kill them all! However, we also suffered heavy losses. In the end, only these people survived."

After saying that, the pride in his eyes turned into guilt and he looked behind him.

Pierce didn't answer, but looked behind him and said, "Let everyone in. It's cold outside."

"Thank you, President!"

The sturdy man expressed his gratitude and invited the people behind him to come in.

In an instant, the room was filled with people.

The smell of sweat, blood and the original smell of the human body suddenly mixed together to form a very difficult to describe smell.

Fan Ting almost vomited.

Zhong Chenmu asked hurriedly, "What about Huayue and Muyue?"

"Hua Yue is dead, hahahaha, I killed her with my own eyes! You know what, this woman is really beautiful, worthy of being one of the Twelve Apostles. If she wasn't so stubborn, preferring death to surrendering and unwilling to play with me, I wouldn't have killed her... As for Mu Yue, she was killed by the other party, damn it!"

"What!" Zhong Chenmu trembled all over and clenched his fists.

He had met Huayue a few times. She was a very sweet-looking sister. Among the Twelve Apostles, she had the sweetest temperament, so sweet that it didn't even match her age of thirty. Judging from her appearance, she looked like a teenage girl.

And now, she has been killed by this vulgar-looking man.

As for Mu Yue, she was usually close to Huo Yue and had similar personalities to her. She was the introverted and reserved type and often teased her in private. But now she has passed away.

In fact, apart from Pu Yue, Zhong Chenmu had a good impression of the remaining eleven of the twelve apostles, especially Mu Yue, Huo Yue, Re Yue and Guo Yue. They were all "incomplete" like himself, and they all had more or less thoughts about love and their husbands. In essence, they belonged to the same type of people as him.

And now, in just one day, he has witnessed the deaths of Wu Yue, Hua Yue and Mu Yue.

A quarter of the garden of the Twelve Apostles has withered.

Pierce remained indifferent and simply said to Zhong Chenmu, "Are you going to tell the Hydrogen Clan, or should I? The second battle between the Huayue team and the Muyue team is over, and the Muyue team won."

"They are all your twelve apostles! Don't you feel any grief at all?" Zhong Chenmu shouted.

"The dead cannot be resurrected, so what's the point of grieving? Besides, once we enter Taibai Star, the Hydrogen Clan will bring them back to life..." Pierce spread his hands and muttered to himself as if performing a ritual.

It would be more accurate to say that he was talking to the group of people from the Mu Yue team in the room rather than replying to Zhong Chenmu.

Sure enough, they were deeply moved by what they heard and shouted, "The president is wise!"

"You are a bunch of lunatics! Complete lunatics!" Old man Liu shouted from the side.

However, no one paid any attention.

At this time, Guo Ling and Fan Ting stood up, walked out with frowns on their faces, and frequently winked at Zhong Chenmu and Old Man Liu.

They were keenly aware that these people from the Mu Yue team did not seem to intend to stop and rest, but were secretly surrounding them!
