Chen Hao
Chapter 532
In the end, Qin Yiming paid a heavy price for his words, being ruthlessly ravaged by Li Tianran. His shoes were knocked off, and he ended up with a bruised and swollen face, silently squatting on the balcony to face the wall while swallowing an Ancient-Grade fruit.
"I just don't like joking with you evolutionaries; you don't know your own strength when you start fighting…" Qin Yiming muttered, rubbing his swollen face, his words somewhat slurred.
Li Tianran also learned about the entire betting process. He squinted at Tang Su and the others, saying in an unfriendly tone, "You guys are really not good people, making fun of Professor Nan and Bai Jingyan's pain, building your own happiness on the suffering of others, right?"
Tang Su and the others, hearing this, lowered their heads in shame.
"All of you, be more mindful! Think about where you went wrong!" Li Tianran pointed at Tang Su and the others, saying with a pained expression, "With this kind of thing, you didn't even call me!"
"I also want to bet, I'll bet whether Bai Jingyan dares to sleep in the same room with Nan Nan tonight!"
Li Tianran's eyes lit up, and he asked with great excitement, "Come on, let's bet?"
…
The somewhat awkward and tense atmosphere quickly became peaceful and joyful under Li Tianran's activity. Li Tianran didn't continue discussing family trivialities with everyone; instead, he told them all the details of his trip in complete detail.
"So, you won't be staying at home for too long this time and will be leaving again in twenty hours?" Ding Lu asked softly.
"That's right, this time, Crazy Breath Island has officially entered the world's view. After joining the Alliance… we will definitely face greater pressure and more frequent attacks than before, but at the same time, we will also obtain a large supply of resources." Li Tianran said very confidently, "After Crazy Breath Island joins the Alliance, it will certainly not be a protected member state, but a council state that provides protection. Each member state's resources will require a certain percentage to be paid to Crazy Breath Island!"
Based on the power that Li Tianran had demonstrated during this period, although the geographical area occupied by Crazy Breath Island was indeed not large, it already met the conditions to become a permanent council state. In the near future, as Murphila collapsed and Li Tianran's resource chain was cut off, the small countries within the Alliance would become his new supply chain.
"According to the current situation, the Human Alliance has also begun to recruit a large number of human routs and incorporate them into the army… Because of the continuous establishment of Beast Nest cities, if humans don't take in these routs, they will become their enemies; it's a matter of offsetting each other." Lan Ning began to analyze the current world situation for Li Tianran. Although he didn't leave the house, he was clear about the current world changes, thanks to his superb internet skills.
The total number of humans now hovers around three hundred million, a decrease of more than ninety-five percent compared to the peak of eight billion, but even so, this number is still declining every day.
"Now, various countries are frantically hunting large, reverted Beast Kings, imprisoning them in captivity, treating them as long-term food banks… Ordinary humans can't directly eat mutated beasts, so countries collect the corpses of mutated beasts to feed the Beast Kings. After the Beast Kings' stomachs digest and purify them, humans then devour the Beast Kings' flesh and blood." Lan Ning continued.
To cope with the shortage of food, human countries have also created a new supply chain.
But this new supply chain is currently still in its early stages. The number of Beast Kings captured is limited. Even in large countries like the European Union and Russia, ordinary civilians can only receive a mere four finger-sized strips of jerky per day, apart from the army.
However, with the replenishment of the evolutionary troops, the number of Beast Kings captured by various countries has begun to rise. This supply chain will soon grow stronger.
The human race may have many bad traits, but it also has some very significant advantages, such as tenacity and always being able to find a glimmer of hope in a desperate world. No matter what kind of predicament they encounter, they can find a solution and continue to survive.
"If this supply chain can be improved, the food problem will no longer be a threat," Lan Ning said.
However, the most serious crisis threatening humans now is not food, but the beast tide itself. Nature no longer restricts human survival through the necessities of life like food, but creates another powerful race to seize the power of human controllers.
"I've decided to expand the planting area of LV4 fruits." Li Tianran thought for a long time and said, "Open up three thousand mu (Chinese unit of area, 1 mu ≈ 0.16 acres) of advanced land, all for planting LV4 fruits."
The total planting area in the farm now is about twenty thousand mu. Opening up three thousand mu of advanced land will inevitably affect the yield of LV3 crops. The LV4 fruits produced by advanced land are usually not used for recycling, which will lead to a reduction in the points Li Tianran obtains from the planting area.
"The beast tide is becoming more and more rampant. Relying on the current human evolutionary troops is definitely not enough…" Li Tianran said, "If we want to fight against the beast tide, we must expand the number of human evolutionaries. If there are three million Beast Kings in the beast tide, then we will create five million human evolutionaries! If they have five million, we will create eight million!"
"Even if the combat power of ordinary human evolutionaries can't compare to the Beast Kings, we will still crush the Beast Kings in terms of numbers!"
Li Tianran's idea was very crazy. This was a method similar to "national evolution." If all existing humans were transformed into evolutionaries, then the Beast King clan would no longer have any advantage in front of humans.
But this process usually cannot be completed in a short period of time.
First, because his farm cannot produce such a large number of LV4 fruits in a short period of time.
Second, and most importantly, it is still out of self-preservation.
If the large-scale transformation of all humans is completed in a short period of time, then after the threat of the Beast King clan disappears, humans will inevitably fight among themselves again. This is a truth that too much history has proven.
Once, Li Yuan's family defeated the warlords of the world, seized the Jiangshan (territory) of the Sui Dynasty, and established the Great Tang Dynasty, but after the world was at peace, his sons began to fight for the throne, even resorting to fratricide…
Facts have proven that when external threats disappear, enemies often appear within.
And if the evolution and transformation of all humans were completed in a short period of time, all of Li Tianran's advantages would be lost. He would not be able to protect himself from the numerous powerful countries that were frantically improving their strength. The "unprovocable" image he had created before using the Pioneers and nuclear weapons would collapse, and he would once again be regarded as a piece of fat by the world's great powers!
So, for this purpose, Li Tianran cannot complete this feat before his strength has greatly increased and he can crush the world.
Even if the world's population will be drastically reduced as a result.
He had told Chen Qiong before that he was a selfish person. He could save the world and the human race, but it must be on the premise of ensuring the safety of himself and his family!
Otherwise, forget about it!
