Doom Roar

"Interesting place?" Xu Mo was taken aback.

Wang Weini seemed to know what Goen was referring to, her face turned pale for no reason, and she hurriedly got up and said, "I don't want to go to that kind of place anymore, I want to go to you guys!"

Originally, Xu Mo didn't think there was anything interesting in this limited settlement, but Wang Weini's abnormal reaction made him a little more curious.

At this moment, He Shang came over from the side, and after Xu Mo briefly introduced him to Gou En and Wang Weini, he was pulled aside by He Shang.

"Just now, when you were chatting with that Gou En, Zhang Xiaoxiao sent someone over, saying that the accommodation has been arranged for us, and he also sent a stack of coupons for free that are said to be used as money." He said, He Shang handed Xu Mo a bunch of keys with house numbers written on them. [

"What did Ouyang Ning say?"

"I heard that Ouyang Ning led the team out, but he didn't say what he did specifically. He won't be back until tomorrow at the earliest."

Xu Mo nodded, it seems that it is impossible to see Ouyang Ning himself today.

"Take Li Li and the others to rest first. I'll follow Goen around the settlement to learn more about the situation."

"Okay then, I'm going first, I have to charge my psp..."

As a residential community, the Riverside Xiangzhangyuan Community covers an astonishingly large area, but as a survivor settlement, it is obviously smaller.

After walking west along the path for about 10 minutes, Xu Mo came to the so-called "interesting place" led by Goen.

This is a building that was obviously built later, about the size of a small gymnasium, and looks like a big chunky chimney from a distance. The rough appearance of red bricks and white mud is obviously out of tune with the exquisite landscape buildings around it.

When Xu Mo got closer, he realized that this strange cylindrical building had no roof or roof, and deafening cheers and curses could be heard from inside from time to time.

After paying a few tokens at the door, Xu Mo and Goen entered the interior of the building.

It was only then that Xu Mo realized that this weird building was simply a shrunken copy of the ancient Roman Colosseum.

In a large pit with a depth of ten meters in the center, an unarmed ancient ape-man was engaged in a desperate struggle with a Deinonychus. Every time one of them was beaten to blood, the audience in the surrounding stands would let out a deafening cry. There were applause, and the scene was extremely frenzied and hot.

"Gladiator?" Xu Mo didn't expect such an ancient and cruel entertainment to reappear in this survivor settlement.

"How is it? Exciting, isn't it?" Goen also raised his hands up like other audiences, obviously enjoying the atmosphere.

"Oh, it's okay..."

Xu Mo is not a defender of human rights protection. There are eight hundred phantom creatures who died in his hands. It is impossible for him to hypocritically accuse this kind of behavior of letting phantom creatures fight each other too cruelly. He was a little uncomfortable with the backward entertainment of history.

But he also knows that in this ghetto where entertainment is scarce, such bloody and violent entertainment can be a good way to vent the pressure of the survivors, and it can also play a good role in the stability of the ghetto.

In the end, due to the negligence of the ancient ape-man in the arena, the Deinonychus who seized the opportunity fell to the ground, bit off his throat and died, and some spectators in the stands immediately yelled and threw down countless mineral water bottles.

"It's probably another group of unlucky guys who lost all their credits." [

Gunn's tone was obviously a little gloating. You can bet on winning or losing the battle in the arena, but he is cautious by nature, at most he just watches the excitement, and never spends a penny in it.

Xu Mo didn't care much about those red-eyed gamblers. He found that after the game, the one responsible for controlling the furious Deinonychus and recovering the corpses of the dead Australopithecus was actually the same Australopithecus covered with thick black hair.

Moreover, the eyes of these ancient ape-men did not show the kind of sadness of pity for the same kind, but more of disdain for the dead and pride for themselves.

"I see that the Australopithecus was used in many places in the security work of the entire settlement. After all, they are illusion creatures. Aren't you afraid of their resistance?" Xu Mo was quite puzzled by this matter.

"Resist? Why did they resist?" Goon was rather surprised by Xu Mo's question.

Under Goen's explanation, Xu Mo quickly understood why the settlement was so reassuring to use these ancient ape-men who were also illusionary creatures.

It turns out that in the doomsday illusion of Shangshan City, in addition to the aggressive carnivorous dinosaurs and gentle and friendly herbivorous dinosaurs, there are also some relatively neutral illusion creatures. These creatures will only show themselves when they are preying or being attacked. Aggressiveness, the Australopithecus is one of them.

Unlike the dinosaurs that were directly enslaved, these ancient apes still had some wisdom. For them, fighting and death were just the normal state of life, and they were not terrible. What was really terrible was starvation.

There are both "radishes" such as food and "big sticks" such as controlled dinosaurs in the settlement area. Even with the simplest thinking of Australopithecus, they naturally know how to choose. Therefore, these neutral creatures Australopithecus also It has become a standing force in the settlement.

However, these Australopithecus do not belong to an employment relationship. The management method given by the upper echelon of the settlement is closer to the former slavery system, and a set of independent reward and punishment systems for the Australopithecus have been specially formulated.

The competitions in the arena are actually divided into two types, the ancient ape man and the ancient ape man, the ancient ape man and the beast.

The first one, the battle between the ancient ape-men and the ancient ape-men, is used to select these ancient ape-men in the settlement. The ancient ape-men who pass the corresponding competition will get the title of warrior and officially become a member of the guard team of the settlement. Food rations, even female hominid mates.

But in the same way, if any ancient ape man dared to resist the rule of the settlement, he would be thrown into the arena and reduced to a low-level gladiator, fighting with various beasts for entertainment every day until he died.

Under this mechanism of clear rewards and punishments, the limited IQ of the ancient ape-man could not raise any thoughts of resistance at all. Even if a few ancient ape-man jumped out unbearably, he would soon be suppressed by the same kind and serve as a ladder for himself to climb upward.

Therefore, in this settlement, there is no need to doubt the loyalty of the Australopithecus group, and even some survivors with more credits will buy one as a personal servant. Although it may not be able to do much, it is easy to take it out It's a status symbol in disguise.

After listening to Goen's introduction, and looking at the ancient ape-man mixed with human survivors below, Xu Mo suddenly felt a strange sense of space-time disorder.

This is not Shangshan City in the apocalypse, this is the Jurassic Park version of ancient Rome!
