Chapter 117 The Power of Nature
With anxiety in his heart, Shi Jian led Feng Chen and the others towards their destination.As the few people continued to go deeper, they gradually moved away from the river bank and passed through some dilapidated villages.

Feng Chen has been leading everyone around these villages, walking through the fields that have long been turned into wilderness.When they came to a small hill, Feng Chen stopped in his tracks.

"Actually, it's very safe here," Feng Chen said, pointing to a small village ahead, "There isn't even a single zombie inside."

"How could it be? Did someone wipe it out?" Shi Jian asked Feng Chen, and picked up the binoculars to observe.

Feng Chen shook his head and said: "I don't know, anyway, I didn't even see a single zombie when I passed by last time."

Looking through a telescope, this village is very different from other villages.

Other places can be described as dilapidated, but the village in front of me is not even dilapidated.There are dilapidated walls everywhere, and the small roads in the village are covered with weeds and shrubs. The branches of the plants protrude from the roofs and windows, revealing an indescribable desolation.

Shi Jian was very surprised by the huge difference between the two. After careful consideration, he understood the reason.

"You see such a big difference between here and other places, do you know why?" Shi Jian asked, pointing forward.

The rest of the people also looked puzzled. They had never considered this issue, and simply thought that the damage here was more serious.

"Did it get destroyed too badly?" Xiao Wu expressed the thoughts in several people's minds.

"It's not that simple," Shi Jian said with a smile and shook his head, "Because without our human existence, houses and other buildings would lose their maintenance, and coupled with wind and rain erosion, they would gradually become dilapidated."

"Is that how these houses collapsed?" Meizi asked thoughtfully.

"It's not just that. Have you seen the plants exposed in those houses? The real culprits are them." Shi Jian said, pointing to the plants around.

"How is it possible that these small grasses and trees can have such great power?" Feng Chen said in surprise.

"Of course, whether it's the germination of seeds or the growth of plants, the power produced is actually quite large, but they are the kind of power that accumulates slowly, rather than bursting out instantly. You have also seen the power that grows from under the rocks. Weeds, they can even overturn stones." Shi Jian explained to them.

Feng Chen continued to ask: "Then why is there no such situation in the old district with zombies?"

Shi Jian smiled and said: "Because the seeds of many plants are mainly spread by animals, and animals will be eaten by zombies when they enter the old area, so the animals stay away from the old area over time, and the plants have fewer ways to spread. Another point is that zombies will move at night and have a certain impact on the growth of vegetation on the ground, so naturally there will be no such situation." After finishing speaking, Shi Jian walked down the mountain and said, "Let's go, let's go there and have a look. Look."

Feng Chen said to Shi Jian: "Boss, there is nothing there, I searched it last time."

Shi Jian smiled and said, "I'm not here to see what supplies are there, but to feel the power of nature."

Several people had no choice but to follow Shi Jian inexplicably, not knowing what he wanted to feel.

When he came to the outskirts of the village, Shi Jian couldn't help sighing in his heart as he looked at the devastation in front of him.

Even though human beings have established an incomparably brilliant civilization, they are still unable to resist the power of nature in the end. This village, which looks like an ancient city lost in the jungle, is one of the vivid examples.

Shi Jian bent down, picked up a piece of concrete from the overgrown road, and said to Feng Chen, "You saw this, does it look familiar?"

Feng Chen took it over, looked at the gray stone carefully, thought for a while and said, "It seems to be the kind on the fence."

"That's right, it's called concrete. It's a building material from the old days. It can be seen everywhere in the old district," Shi Jian nodded. , but the road is so broken, everything is caused by these humble weeds."

Feng Chen and the others looked at the concrete block in their hands, felt its hardness, and said in doubt: "Is this true?"

Shi Jian didn't speak, just nodded and walked along the road.

Most of the houses on both sides of the road have collapsed. Shi Jian stepped forward to look at the remaining walls, and he could vaguely see the blackness after the fire. It seems that there was a serious fire here.

"It should have been caused by people panicking when the zombies first appeared. Although we don't know what happened to the props, it shouldn't be too different." Shi Jian guessed secretly.

"Boss, I really didn't expect that no one would change so much in the future." Meizi said with emotion as she looked at the dilapidated houses in front of her.

"After the disappearance of human beings, within 20 years, farmland and streets will be occupied by these weeds." Shi Jian said, pointing to the grass under his feet.

"What about these houses?" Meizi asked.

"Wooden houses can last for 100 years, while those high-rise buildings in the old district will collapse after 200 years, and these masonry structures can last for at most 1000 years." Shi Jian pointed to the surroundings.

"1000 years, it's so long," Feng Chen sighed, "At that time, we probably won't even have ashes left."

"Yes, it is very long. The history of human beings is but a drop in the ocean in this world, and the traces left by 5000 years of civilization will not pass through 20 years of vicissitudes, and will eventually disappear without a trace." Shi Jian felt emotional , said heavily.

Xiao Wu waved her hand indifferently, and said, "Boss, that has nothing to do with us, we just need to live well for the decades before us."

Feng Chen and the others also nodded in agreement.

Shi Jian looked at the four people who didn't care, and said: "Human beings have existed in this world for millions of years, and the ancestors have been fighting for a better life all the time. If every ancestor Like you, if you only care about the present and don’t care about the future, then we will live like those wild beasts, living a life of ruthlessness and blood drinking. Are you willing?"

"Boss, didn't you say that zombies are also made by humans? They are not created by human beings themselves. This kind of civilization is not worth it." Xiao Wu said dissatisfied.

Shi Jian glanced at him, and suddenly felt that human beings are really sad.He said in a low voice: "That is a detour taken by human beings, and the original intention is also for the development of human beings. Now that human beings have received retribution, I think future human beings will definitely avoid these. One day, human beings will become the masters of the world again. "His voice became higher and higher, and finally roared out.

Feng Chen and the others looked at Shi Jian, unable to understand his words at all.Just when Feng Chen was about to say something, a roar of a wild animal came from the village.

Afterwards, the figures of five wild wolves flashed out from a room, and rushed towards Shi Jian and the others.

"Bang bang" two gunshots, Shi Jian and Andre took the lead to shoot the bullets in the guns at the wild wolf.Although there was no hit, the loud gunshots startled the wolves, they stopped immediately, turned and fled.

Shi Jian adjusted his shooting state to continuous firing, and shot towards the wild wolf.Following the gunshots that were as fast as popping beans, the five wild wolves fell to the ground screaming in grief.

Shi Jian skillfully replaced the magazine, walked towards the body of the wild wolf, and said as he walked: "This is the power brought by civilization. Only these powers can resist the power of nature. In the simplest terms, in terms of the strength and speed of the body, Human beings are no match for wild beasts, but after using tools, no matter how ferocious wild beasts are, they are no more than human beings' food on the plate."

A few people followed behind Shi Jian silently, listening to Shi Jian continue to say: "Without civilization, you are the bottom of the food chain of nature, and will always be eaten by these beasts. Now, you are enjoying the convenience brought by civilization." At the same time, you despise civilization because of the temporary mistakes of human beings, and never think about how to correct these mistakes. Then, how will your descendants survive in nature after a hundred years?"

This time, no one refuted Shi Jian, even Xiao Wu, who loves to talk nonsense the most, kept silent and thought about Shi Jian's words seriously.

Coming to the side of the wild wolf, Shi Jian turned over the corpse of the wild wolf, and said with emotion again: "These wild beasts have become the masters of this place in just a few years after humans left here. They have turned the human homeland into their own territory. , and in turn attacking humans, it really makes people speechless."

"Boss," Mei Zi hesitated, and asked, "How do you know so much?"

"You don't need to ask," Xiao Wu laughed beside him, "The leader doesn't know so much, how can he become our leader?"

Shi Jian laughed amusedly at Xiao Wu's illogical words, and said: "These are just the crystallization of human civilization - knowledge. Didn't I say that knowledge is the greatest wealth of human beings, and those who have the most A man of knowledge is an old man like the two elders, Chen Feng."

"Did they tell you all this? No wonder the leader respects them so much." Feng Chen said thoughtfully.

"That's right, if human civilization wants to continue, then we must first pass on all kinds of knowledge." Shi Jian said seriously.

Xiao Wu giggled and said, "Boss, what about continuation of civilization? Is it too difficult for a dozen people like me? Doesn't it mean that there are still many people on the island of refuge? They will do these things." All right."

Shi Jian said seriously: "If everyone thinks this way, then human beings really have no future. Instead of sitting aside and waiting for others to do it, why don't you do the same thing yourself? Don't you hope that one day, those people on Sanctuary Island will return to In the mainland, they had a civilization without loss, but your descendants lived like beasts, so they treated them like beasts?"

"This..." Xiao Wu didn't know what to say.

"I hope you can seriously think about whether to use knowledge to make your life better and better, keep the fire of civilization, or forget about it and slowly become a beast."
