Chapter 557 Drawing Lots
This time, the base took coercive measures.
Regardless of whether the survivors were willing or not, as long as they did not take the initiative to participate in the lottery in the square, they were all forcibly escorted to the square by the soldiers.
Some stubborn resistance had their legs broken and were carried to the square.
At this time, hundreds of lottery boxes had been prepared at the front of the square.
There were also heavy soldiers guarding.
Most of the survivors gathered in the square were extremely reluctant.
Some people cursed the base for not treating them as human beings.
Some people cried bitterly because they had elderly and children at home.
Some people gave up resistance and were dejected.
Lin Tianrui and Lin Shi stood on the office building, looking down at all this.
Lin Shi said: "It's almost done, let's start."
Lin Tianrui nodded, picked up a microphone, and said hello.
After making sure that everyone in the square could hear his voice, he officially spoke:
"Everyone, I am Lin Tianrui."
"I believe everyone here knows the news of the survival war."
"This survival war seems sudden, but in fact we have been working hard for the survival war."
"If possible, I want to take you all to survive in this dangerous and cold apocalypse, but now, I have to tell you a heavy news."
"Three days later, we will set off for the island where the Pillar of Origin is located. In this survival war, the source beast has already led us a lot because it opened the Pillar of Origin in advance."
"We don't have time to delay any longer. Today, we are calling everyone together to draw lots to select those who stay in the base and those who go to the Pillar of Origin."
"This is the first time to draw lots, but it will not be the last time. For the future of mankind, we must make choices and sacrifices."
"Start drawing lots now!"
As soon as Lin Tianrui finished speaking, soldiers immediately kept the crowd in line.
However, before the drawing of lots began, a discordant voice broke out in the crowd.
"I won't draw lots, why should we civilians draw lots?! Isn't this what you soldiers should do?!"
As soon as this voice came out, all kinds of people who didn't want to draw lots in the first place immediately burst into indignant shouts.
"That's right! Why should we die!"
"I won't draw, I don't want to die! Anyway, there are still 578 days, whoever wants to sacrifice can sacrifice, anyway, I won't go!"
At this time, some unwilling and busybodies in the crowd shouted loudly:
"The people in power in these bases want to send us to death, let's rebel!"
"Yes, we rebel, we rebel!! There are so many of us, why are we afraid of him!!"
Hearing this, many of the survivors were moved.
Many people stretched their hands to their waists.
However, just as these people finished speaking, several sharp swords fell from the sky, piercing these people directly and nailing them to the ground!
At the same time, tens of thousands of giant swords flashing with sharp cold light were suspended above the square!
The originally noisy square suddenly became quiet.
Lin Shi's voice resounded clearly throughout the square:
"Troublemakers, die now!!"
The survivors in the square watched the giant sword floating above their heads, and the fierce murderous aura seemed to make them die as long as they dared to move.
In the following time, everyone lined up quietly, drew lots, and registered.
Those who were drawn to go to the island where the Pillar of Origin was located could get compensation supplies from the base.
Let them eat and drink better in the remaining three days.
Wait for the lottery to end.
Lin Shi walked out of the base and came to the port of Shashi.
As his mind moved, dozens of icebreakers appeared out of thin air.
The ice surface broke, and the originally empty port was instantly filled with icebreakers.
The two icebreakers in the base were lent to Li Chun, and there were no more icebreakers.
The icebreakers in Lin Shi's space finally came in handy.
Not only icebreakers, but also fuel, food, and daily necessities, Lin Shi equipped each icebreaker.
Lin Shi has countless supplies in his space. With the ability to replicate items, it is no problem to feed millions of people for more than ten years.
After preparing the icebreaker and supplies, Lin Shi felt a little emotional.
"Is the function of the cornucopia actually used now?"
If the entire cornucopia of supplies is collected before the end of the world, and then continuously replicated, and supplied to the survivors after the end of the world, so that they can reproduce.
Humanity can be preserved to the greatest extent.
The ability of the cornucopia is not to help individuals, but to help the entire race.
He feels that this is the correct use of the cornucopia and item replication.
But it is definitely too late to say this now.
Lin Shi could not have known about the survival war from the beginning, and it was impossible to prepare for a rainy day.
He also has no power to keep the cornucopia and himself after helping others.
So this is a false proposition.
Unless it can be done again!
"Reverse the universe!"
If the ability to reverse the universe is used when the time of this survival war is about to end, he can take the cornucopia and his source beast army back to three years before the end of the world.
Then, they stockpiled a large amount of supplies and used their absolute power to gain the right to speak among humans.
Gather the power of all mankind to build shelters in advance.
Then, they let the armed forces of various countries hunt wild beasts and kill the emergence of source beasts in the cradle.
Then, when the end of the world comes, they can live with most of the human race!
Then, this so-called battle for survival is not a problem!
It turns out that this is the correct way to use the cornucopia!
The more Lin Shi thought about it, the more he felt that this should be the case.
It’s just that the cost of using the turning point is also very high.
Lin Shi still remembers the bright red prompt:
[If the creatures or items brought back by the host space have the uniqueness of the original time and space, the creatures/items in the original time and space will be randomly wiped out! 】
This touches on the time and space paradox.
For example, if Lin Shi brings Lin Siyuan of this time and space back, then one of the Lin Siyuan he brings back and the Lin Siyuan of that time and space will be randomly wiped out.
Because there cannot be two Lin Siyuans in one time and space.
The same is true for the source beast. If the demon king already existed three years before the end of the world, then Lin Shi will bring the demon king back, and one of the current demon king and the previous demon king will be wiped out.
This kind of erasure is still random, which means that Lin Shi cannot choose.
But Lin Shi thinks that the demon king of this time and space will most likely be wiped out, because the current demon king is too strong, and appearing in the past will affect the balance of that time and space.
Fortunately, Lin Shi asked the demon king, and when he met the demon king, the demon king was less than three years old.
In other words, even if the Heaven and Earth Reversal is used, it will not have any effect on the Demon King. At most, the Demon King in the original time and space will not be born again.
As for the other source beasts, they are not very old, but they cannot completely avoid being wiped out.
It depends on luck.
I don’t know how many source beasts will be kept in his space at that time.
In fact, Lin Shi is not prepared to take many source beasts back.
From Zhizhi’s concealment and the betrayal of the fourth-level monkey, Lin Shi knows that in the face of racial survival, personal loyalty is not worth mentioning.
In addition to the Demon King, whether other source beasts should be taken back or not needs to be tested.
If they have the idea of betrayal, they will all be killed.
He can’t raise a tiger to cause trouble!
...
However, the outcome of the battle for survival is still unknown. Unless it is a certain failure, Lin Shi will not use this only chance.
However, the necessary preparations must be made.
