My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! - Chapter 1489

[1480. Chapter 1457: Fighting poison with poison, information about the first gambling fight!]

A solemn look emerged on Connie’s face, and as she spoke, her black and white hair seemed to flutter gently because of her inner excitement.

“Except for you, I have never heard of any other creature that can walk out of the city beast alive.”

Su Mo frowned when he heard this. After thinking for a moment, he asked, “What is the meaning of the spell to let the beasts leave the city? Since they will die if they go in, why should we give them such hope?”

“That’s because each alien tribe is not monolithic.”

Connie’s voice was cold, with a hint of unquestionable cruelty.

“If we tell these tribesmen who enter the city beast that they are doomed to die the moment they enter, the number of soldiers that the royal family can recruit now may not even be one tenth of it.”

“So, you used the spell as bait to trick them into believing they still had a chance of survival?”

“Not exactly.” Connie was silent for a moment and then replied.

“Strength. The increase in strength that can be gained by entering the city beast is also one of the main reasons why those alien races enter.”

“The pollution and gifts within the city beasts depend on the acceptance of the alien individuals. The stronger the desire for power, the faster and more frequent the pollution, and relatively speaking, more energy can be drawn from the city beasts. On the contrary, if there is fear and resistance in the heart, not only will the growth rate be ridiculously slow, but it will also fall into depravity faster.”

“If it were the previous you, you would have gone in, right?” Su Mo suddenly asked.

The alien race’s desire for power is indeed far greater than that of humans.

Especially some alien races with obsessions, they pursue strength at the cost of their lives.

“Maybe. I don’t know.”

Connie drank some spring water, her eyes flickering, but she didn’t give a direct answer.

The two faced each other in silence for a while.

For a moment, the only sounds in the cabin were the sound of falling leaves and raindrops outside.

“If we tell those aliens in the city beasts that they will surely die, will it be useful?”

Su Mo thought about it and felt that this would be a breakthrough.

Although some alien races voluntarily entered the city beast out of their thirst for power, it is undeniable that more alien races were blinded by lies and temptations and became pawns in the hands of the royal family without knowing it.

If the anger and dissatisfaction of these alien races can be aroused, it will undoubtedly deal a heavy blow to the royal family’s subsequent conscription activities, thereby indirectly alleviating the pressure on the human front.

However, Connie shook her head slowly, revealing a hint of helplessness in her tone: “It probably won’t be of much use. The royal family has long anticipated the possible consequences of information leakage and has made full preparations for it.”

“You have been inside the City Beast and know the structure inside. There are many barriers set up for different races inside the City Beast. Some places are not accessible at will. Moreover, how can you make those polluted and confused aliens believe your words? They will die seven days after leaving the City Beast. We can’t buy so much time for them to verify it.”

“Let’s take a step back. Even if they really believe they will die inside the city beast, what can they do?”

“Aliens are different from humans. We have been carrying a mission since we were born. As long as we raise the banner of fighting for the gods and dying for the gods, and promise that they will be resurrected by the gods after death, do you think they will really care about the trivial matter of their own ‘death’?”

Connie emphasized the trivial matter of death, and her sarcasm was evident in her words.

Would the gods resurrect a worthless scum?

What kind of big dream are you having?

She used to dream of fighting for the gods and entering the realm of gods after death, but after stepping into the wasteland world and meeting Soma, all these fantasies were completely shattered.

The gods are so ruthless that they can abandon everything without hesitation.

Whether it is an ordinary member of the tribe, the clan leader, or even the entire tribe, once they lose their value, they will be ruthlessly abandoned.

But when she later became the high priestess, second only to the emperor and above all others, and understood more clearly the difficulty of resurrection, she never had such a beautiful dream again.

The cost of resurrecting a dead creature out of thin air is so high that it is almost equivalent to the gods granting strength enhancement to millions of people.

However, ordinary tribesmen knew nothing about this and were unwilling to believe it.

Because those false gods would always hold ceremonies regularly to resurrect some heroes who had faked their death in order to deceive them.

“It seems that I thought things were too simple.” Su Mo shook his head helplessly and sighed in his heart.

As soon as humans hear that this job is 100% a way to die, they will definitely explode in resistance.

But the aliens are indeed different. With gods looming over their heads, they have no fear of death at all.

What resurrection, what entering the realm of gods after death, what becoming a messenger of gods.
Taking advantage of the tribesmen’s awe and worship of gods, as well as their yearning for the afterlife, they wove beautiful lies one after another to keep the tribesmen firmly under their control.

These gods had carefully planned how to make the tribesmen willingly sacrifice for them at the very beginning of building this belief system.

Just like Connie said before, even if these aliens knew the truth now, it would be of no use.

They have been deeply brainwashed by the belief in gods and obey the orders and arrangements of gods almost unconditionally.

no way.

Su Mo couldn’t help but sigh.

It seems that the normal solution is not feasible. To deal with aliens, the only way is to fight poison with poison.

But before that, we still have to figure out what the purpose of their sudden attack is.

“Well.” Connie hesitated.

With the strength of the Ao people, they can only be regarded as middle and lower-level among the alien races. Although they can sit at the table for meals, they are far from being able to participate in important decision-making.

So even if she tried her best to find out about the war plan, the information she finally got was all kinds of confusion and it was difficult to tell the truth from the false.

However, by combining all this information, she was able to come up with a few possible reasons.

“Go ahead, no matter whether the news is true or not, it’s better than my own random guesses.” Su Mo said affirmatively.

“There are three possibilities,” Connie said thoughtfully.

“First, this war may be a huge sacrificial ceremony. They intend to achieve a special purpose through this ceremony. It is very likely that the moment the sacrifice is completed, all human defenses on the front line will be directly defeated. Moreover, in a sacrifice, the more people die, the better. This may also be the reason why the royal family has occupied the east but has not yet attacked.”

“Second, it is related to the current death tide disaster. They want to trick humans into using powerful weapons to catalyze the death tide. After all, humans’ territories are built on the surface and are relatively fixed. It is difficult to move around in a short period of time. But the aliens are different. The major alien tribes have the ability to move their camps. Once the scale of the death tide continues to expand, the infected will eventually help the aliens defeat humans.”

“Third, I guess the current war is very likely related to the topic of the first gambling fight, but I can’t figure out the details. You humans must be more familiar with this aspect. You might as well think more about what kind of topic would require a war to be launched in advance to pave the way.”

Fortunately, a chess piece was planted within the alien race in advance, and Connie’s guess opened up new ideas for Su Mo.

He lowered his head and thought, then began to analyze the three possibilities one by one.

The probability of this happening is indeed very high. Speed is of the essence in war. Once the millions of troops of the three royal families are assembled, it will undoubtedly become increasingly difficult for alien races to break through the defense line and invade surrounding plates.

However, the alien army has been stationed at the border for a long time but has not launched an offensive. This strange behavior of waiting for the human army to gather is really suspicious.

However, it is not complicated to verify whether this is related to sacrifice.

If such a huge sacrificial array really existed, its arrangement would certainly have left many traces.

As long as he goes to the front line and investigates carefully, he can easily find clues.

Secondly, it catalyzes the death tide disaster.

It has to be said that this speculation is very accurate and highly consistent with the strategic goals of the alien race.

Human civilization on Earth relies on science and technology, and science and technology are extremely dependent on infrastructure in all aspects.

Population can be easily relocated, but infrastructure is like the foundation.

Once abandoned, rebuilding would undoubtedly take months.

If during this period, the death tide disaster spreads rapidly, forms a scale, and attacks human territories, then the technological ceiling of major human territories will be directly blocked. This is undoubtedly a more difficult problem than a direct attack by an alien army.

“But this is easy to avoid, as long as you don’t use high-powered firepower weapons to cause the destructive force to overlap.”

As this thought arose in Su Mo’s mind, he suddenly realized that the human leaders were indeed far-sighted and that Musk’s judgment on the future battlefield was completely correct.

Was this a blessing in disguise?
In order to prevent powerful weapons from falling into the hands of foreign races, they simply gave up on developing and using them.

It not only avoids risks, but also ensures that the evolution speed of the death tide disaster is controllable, directly avoiding the emergence of a huge hidden danger.

The development of exoskeleton armor will further reduce the accumulation of destructive force, especially when dealing with infected bodies, it is almost possible to kill them without any injury.

If the aliens really hold this idea in mind and wait for humans to speed up the production of high-powered weapons under great pressure, they will probably suffer a great loss in the next battle.

As for Connie’s third guess, this war was related to the first gambling fight.

“What kind of gambling scene would require a war as a prelude?”

Su Mo thought carefully, and after a while he reluctantly denied all the thoughts that came to his mind.

The first two guesses are both based on facts, and there is also a large amount of information to assist in verifying the judgments.

The only thing he had was too little information for him to guess or verify.

“Fortunately, we still have four months to collect information. During this time, I will speed up and try to collect as much information about the gambling fight as possible for you.”

Connie bit her lip and decided to go for it.

If the royal family knew about her current behavior, she would be punished even if she died hundreds of times.

But there is no way. Ever since she became the high priestess of Oreo, her life and property have been completely tied to Soma.

The two of them prosper together and suffer together.

Furthermore, if Suma is the final winner, the Ao people will receive unprecedented development support in the wasteland continent.

This kind of risk and benefit would make any alien race extremely excited.

“But what are you going to do next? Let the war on the front line continue?”

Thinking of Soma being teleported to the inner part of the city beast, Connie frowned and said with lingering fear:

“Fortunately, you have the means to escape. We know too little about the existence of the city beast. We had no idea that it could actually interfere with the nearby space.”

The city beast
Su Mo pursed his lips, tapped his fingers on the table, and thought quietly.

“Is there any information about the Shadow Beast Tribe?”

“Yes, I specially collected a lot of them.” Connie nodded immediately and condensed a diamond-shaped black and white crystal through divine magic.

Su Mo took it and put it on his forehead, and a message came instantly.

I have to say that the Shadow Beast Clan is a bit weird. Their strength is sometimes high and sometimes low. It is a special race with a very serious polarization in strength.

Because of their special shape, they have to grow up in the shadow of an object from birth.

The stronger the deposited items, the greater the potential for growth and the faster the speed.

On the contrary, if we only deposit some ordinary creatures, their fighting power may be even lower than that of the frogmen when they grow up.

The city beast is a relatively powerful existence among the hosts that the shadow beasts can choose.

Once its true form is formed, it will possess combat power no less than that of a demigod.

At the same time, more and more special spaces can be created inside to cultivate powerful warriors to protect itself.

However, the flaws of the city beast are also obvious.

This kind of powerful existence cannot be occupied by ordinary shadow beasts alone. It often requires thousands or tens of thousands of shadow beasts to enter the body of the city beast together to erase its consciousness and store it.

With so many shadow beasts existing in one body, the most direct impact is that the shadow beasts will also be affected by the mutual impact and lose their sanity along with the city beasts.

The final result is what it is now. The city beast has become a tool with only instincts that can be controlled by simple spells.

“Fight poison with poison. If we can’t deal with the assassins inside, then we can start with the city beasts.”

Think of the spell that has been strengthened by the system, which can directly teleport people to the designated location.

Su Mo was slightly delighted. Since it was a tool, was it possible for him to control it?
As long as he could use the system to strengthen the way to use the city beast, or a special driving spell, once he gained control of the city beast, it would undoubtedly be a huge blow to the alien race.

Going further, if a powerful city beast can be identified by the system as a target for upgrading and strengthening.

That’s so sexy!

If the city beast could be completely controlled and given self-awareness, it would be like planting a huge bomb within the alien race.

If it is detonated at a critical moment, its effect will probably directly determine a local victory!
