Chapter 1053 Broken Back
Although it is not clear what the mural is, the disaster relief work has been completed now and I have nothing else to do, so I might as well go and take a look.

Maybe there are some clues?

Zhang Heng looked at the mine and could see that it had not been repaired for some time. According to Lan, they usually repaired and reinforced the mine after the alien beasts wreaked havoc.

The main thing is to reinforce before the alien beast comes, and then you have to do it again after the alien beast leaves. It’s better to integrate the two things together.
Under Lan's guidance, Zhang Heng soon arrived in front of the mural they had mentioned.

The murals were naturally painted on the stone walls. After all, if you want to preserve the information long enough, the best way is to carve it on the stone.

Although the painting style is wild and a bit abstract, the general idea can be clearly seen.

The first mural depicts two things that should be flags, and under the flags are a bunch of things that look like spaceships.

The second mural shows a spaceship arriving on the planet, and then people dispersed and established a scientific research station, or a pioneer outpost, on the planet.

The third mural starts to get supernatural. The first two murals are still mainly about technology, but the third one starts to get supernatural. Maybe it's a sudden change in the world, and then the civilization is cut off?
The fourth mural was even more abstract, and even Zhang Heng couldn't understand it at all.

The fifth mural began to return to normal, showing people beginning to rebuild cities on the ruins and create civilization. A small part of the mural also described people beginning to try to use the special minerals on the planet.

The sixth deputy.
"How come the sixth and seventh murals were destroyed? I can understand the eighth one, it's you who took root here, but what about the sixth and seventh?"

Zhang Heng was upset when he found that two murals had been damaged.

Why are there missing chapters and sections in the middle?

"It was destroyed by humans." Lan smiled bitterly and said, "But I also saw these murals when I was a child. Let me tell you about them. The sixth mural is about a monster, which is what you call a bizarre beast. It attacked our ancestors' city and our ancestors rose up to resist. The seventh mural is about a demon-slaying warrior who killed a monster. The courage that Xiaozhi and I had to resist the bizarre beast also came from this mural."

Lan said this while stroking the damaged mural.

It was the stories on these murals and the heroic deeds of his ancestors that planted the seeds of courage in him when he was young, allowing him to carry the courage when he grew up, and to form a ridiculous resistance team with his younger brother even when attacked by alien beasts.

"Were they destroyed by humans?"

If it was a natural disaster, then the other six murals would be intact, and only the mural of resisting the alien beasts was destroyed. Isn't that too much of a coincidence?
Zhang Heng considered the attack of the alien beasts as a natural disaster. He didn't think that the guys who left after destroying the murals would specifically pick on the two murals. Besides, if they wanted to wipe out the courage of human resistance, wouldn't it be better to destroy all the murals? Anyway, it was just a matter of convenience. The most important thing about the destruction of a country is to cut off the inheritance of a civilization. If the text, spirit, and beliefs are still passed on, then this nation can definitely not be considered destroyed.

"Yes." Lan nodded and said, "When we found out, it was too late to repair it."

"People from other camps?"

"Of course not. The camp closest to our camp takes three full days to reach even if we use a small spaceship, and the mineral energy required is not a small number. The mine occupied by our camp is already the richest among the surrounding camps. How could they waste precious energy and come here specifically to destroy the murals?"

The remaining answer is naturally self-evident: it was the people from Lan Camp who destroyed the mural.

"Are they so scared?" Zhang Heng was really angry. He could understand being afraid of alien beasts. After all, it was normal for ordinary people to be afraid of such monsters. After all, there were only a few people who had the courage of a fool. Not to mention this world ravaged by alien beasts, even on Earth in the real world, in the peasant uprisings in history, there had to be a leader who started the movement first, and then others would follow. The herd effect would never only appear on sheep.

But it's just a mural! You even want to destroy the mural of resistance against alien beasts. How cowardly are you? How afraid are you of those monsters?

Moreover, this is not an ordinary mural. It is a symbol of the courage and backbone of your ancestors. It is the backbone your ancestors left for you!

How can you break it with your own hands? !

Zhang Heng really wanted to argue with them, so he went.

He has always been a man of action who acts faster than he thinks, and whose emotions outweigh his rationality. He once assassinated a gangster boss for a little girl, and was then hunted down by gangsters from all over the area. He finally escaped by hiding in a container.

Then he can now seek an explanation from those unworthy descendants for these murals and the heroic spirits behind the murals!
What Zhang Heng didn't expect was that before he took the initiative to approach someone, they approached him first!
"You, you, all of you, leave the camp!" An old man with a metal crutch looked at Zhang Heng and his group returning to the surface from the mine and shouted excitedly, "Quick! Drive them out! Otherwise, when the devil's wrath comes, we will all die without a burial place. You staying in the camp will only harm all of us!"

"Fuck you!"

Zhang Heng respects the old and loves the young, but his respect for the old and love for the young has a prerequisite, that is, in order to be respected and loved, one must first respect himself and respect others!
Zhang Heng, who was already filled with rage, kicked Lao Deng to the ground without hesitation, with just the right amount of force, making Lao Deng's eyes go dark but not enough to kill him on the spot.

The residents of the surrounding camp were startled, but with the murderous Zhang Heng around, no one dared to approach.

"You're the one who destroyed the mural?"

"Those murals will bring destruction to our tribe!" Lao Deng roared with his eyes wide open and spit flying. Who could have thought that among the hundreds of people in the entire camp, except Lan and his friends, the courageous one was an old man whose half body was about to be buried in the ground.

"You are breaking the backbone of your people! Your ancestors lost their lives in the battle with the alien beasts, in exchange for your hope of survival! I know that the alien beasts are terrible, and I don't expect you to have the courage to resist them, but don't you even have the courage to face that history?"

"Forgetting is equivalent to betrayal!"

"Outsider, you don't understand at all!" Lao Deng's voice was still loud and clear: "Resistance will attract the world-destroying Eighth Heaven Demon King. Once the Demon King arrives, everything will be-"

"Wait a moment."

The calm voice echoed throughout the camp, drawing everyone's attention.

With a violent shaking, flying smoke and dust, and the sound of a heavy object falling, a huge purple head slammed into the camp. Two figures stood on the huge head, one was sturdy and brought heat and sunshine to people like the sun in the sky, and the other was emitting a faint light, but inadvertently exuded an extreme indifference.

"Is this the guy you mentioned as the Eighth Heavenly Demon King?"
