Chapter 698 - From the outside World. The Future of the Underground City!
Chapter 698: From the outside World. The Future of the Underground City!
“From the beginning to the end, since the birth of our ancestors, our people in the underground city have never been able to go out to the outside world!”
The vice-captain of the guards, Hansen, said excitedly!
At this moment, he was so excited that he completely ignored the stunned expression of Captain Nair and the indifferent gaze of Joelson!
That’s right, there were two reasons for his smile!
The first was that he had long known that Joelson would not turn the entire underground city into a pool of blood and would not casually trample on the lives of others!
The successful prediction of Joelson’s acquittal made Vice-Captain Hansen laugh excitedly.
As for the second point.
It was what Vice-Captain Hansen had said to Captain Nair just now.
This was Vice-Captain Hansen’s hope for the future of the underground city!
One had to know that since the birth of the entire underground city, they had been trapped in this tiny place, trapped in this Wailing Abyss!
This frozen place, this place that was always in winter, had a lack of natural resources and a harsh living environment. The people of the underground city had never walked out of the mountain since the moment they were born!
In their long lives, almost all the residents of the underground city gradually lost their desire to explore the outside world and their thoughts about the appearance of the outside world.
When they were young, the residents of the entire underground city would ask questions about what the outside world was like.
The young underground city people still had a basic desire to explore the outside world.
However, for the older people, their desire to explore the outside world was gradually erased as they grew older. It was the fact that the entire underground city had stood in the wind and snow for tens of thousands of years, it erased their curiosity to pursue the outside world.
After all, everyone faced a mountain that was so high that they couldn’t see the sky. Who would still have a trace of fantasy about the outside world?
Just like that, the residents of the underground city no longer fantasized about the outside world. Even the novels that described the outside world in the marketplace had no market.
Until a long time ago, an adventurer came to the underground city. The visit of outsiders caused many residents of the underground city to once again burn up their yearning for the beautiful outside world.
That adventurer was the old man who settled above the Wailing Abyss!
The arrival of the old man, who was still a middle-aged man at that time, told the story of the outside world rising up and bringing the items of the outside world. This made the people of the underground city reignite their yearning for the outside world!
Since the outsiders could climb down from the top, why couldn’t the people of the underground city climb up?
Driven by this idea, someone quickly organized an experienced expedition team and set off with the best equipment!
With curiosity about the outside world, the expedition team took their first step, but this first step was very unsuccessful.
The expedition team made up of strong young men waited for a long time, but no news came back.
Later, people found their fallen bones. In the ice and snow, they were not directly turned into bones, but frozen into ice sculptures!
They fell down due to exhaustion during the climb.
The entire expedition team, so many people set out, but none of them succeeded.
This was only the first step of the underground city’s exploration of the outside world.
Very quickly, they formed an elite expedition team.
This elite expedition team, after experiencing the failures of their predecessors, fully summed up their experience, but they still failed.
The failure was very thorough!
They were also completely annihilated!
However, they still did not give up. Challenging the Wailing Abyss became a very important ritual for the residents of the underground city. It became as important as offering sacrifices to their ancestors and hunting!
The pursuit that they had never given up for so many years had failed time and time again.
Their yearning for the outside world was gradually obliterated by the fact that the entire underground city had sent out expeditions for so many years without any results!
Their yearning for the outside world was gradually obliterated by the passage of time!
Although outsiders would still come frequently. The entire underground city still sent out expeditions.
However, everyone had already lost all confidence in the exploration of the outside world.
It wasn’t until an expedition team was recruited that no one in the entire underground city responded. The residents of the entire underground city realized this.
They had already lost all confidence in the exploration of the outside world.
They raised their heads to look at the tall mountain peak. They had already completely lost all hope of walking out of this valley.
Captain Nair was the one who didn’t have any hope of walking out of the valley.
At the same time, the tens of thousands of people in the underground city were the same as Captain Nair. They also didn’t have any hope of walking out of the valley.
Captain Nair’s mentality could be said to be the true portrayal of the mentality of many people in the underground city.
For things like the outside world, it didn’t matter anymore. After all, a day was a day, and two days was a day.
For the underground city, the expedition team was just throwing their lives away.
Because from the beginning until now, there had been no news of the expedition team. Basically, all of them had been wiped out!
Not a single person had reached the top of the mountain!
In the eyes of the people in the underground city, climbing up was no different from throwing their lives away.
Since a day was a day and two days were two days, why would they challenge the Wailing Abyss and come here to throw their lives away?
In the hearts of everyone, they gradually lost all patience for this kind of exploration.
After all, the underground city had solved their own food and clothing, and removed the threat of magical beasts. It was only a matter of a few hundred years. They were not rich enough to have enough food and clothing, and to pursue their own spiritual abundance… it was better to first satisfy their own food and clothing, and then live a peaceful life.
However, not everyone thought so.
For example, the vice-captain of the guards, Hansen.
The vice-captain of the guards, Hansen, was looking at his old comrade beside him, the captain of the guards, Nair!
The captain of the guards, Nair, was stunned.
He really didn’t expect Vice-Captain Hansen to think this way.
Vice-Captain Hansen had not abandoned his curiosity towards the outside world!
Although he felt that Vice-Captain Hansen’s words were ridiculous!
Outsiders would even think that he was crazy.
However, Captain Nair had a fanatical look on his face!
