Doomsday: I can see the health bar, kill monsters and drop treasure.

Chapter 691 The Laws of World Operation
In that strange state just now, Wang Tao discovered a law that governs the operation of the world!
To some extent, this world is made up of various elements. The number of elements is far beyond Wang Tao's imagination, and there are even many elements that Wang Tao does not recognize.

The more of these elements there are, the better the environment of the entire world will be. The better the world environment is, the higher the upper limit of all creatures will be, and it will be easier to improve their strength!
If you want to increase the number of elements in the world, you have to increase the average strength of human beings - yes, the average strength of human beings.

Although Wang Tao is not sure why it is related to humans, this is the pattern he "sees".

The stronger the average strength of human beings, the more elements there will be between heaven and earth, the better the environment of the entire world will be, the higher the upper limit of human beings will be, the difficulty of promotion will continue to decrease, and the overall strength of all living things will become stronger and stronger!

This is also the main reason why in recent times, the survivors of the Changhe Base have become stronger, their promotion speed has become faster, and the number of awakened people has increased.

For example, the original success rate of fusing a white crystal core was 20%. Now that the environment of the entire world has improved, the probability has increased to 40%, 60%... Originally, only the success rate of a gold crystal core was 100%, but now the success rate of fusing a purple or even a blue crystal core may also be 100%!

For example, the success rate of awakening for the first time was 50% before, and the success rate would decrease with each subsequent awakening. But now, the success rate of the first awakening may have reached 70%, 80% or even 90%!
Even when the environment gets good enough, you don't even need crystal cores to improve your strength directly!
Under such circumstances, isn't the overall strength of the survivors getting stronger and stronger?

From this perspective, this "law of world operation" seems to be a good thing. After all, the stronger humans are, the better the world is, and the better the world is, the stronger humans are! This is simply a perfect positive cycle!

But there was no joy on Wang Tao's face...

Because the overall environment of the world has improved, not only will humans become stronger and stronger, but other creatures will also become stronger, including zombies, monsters, and mutants!
Wang Tao knew how fast the zombies were evolving nowadays. He had witnessed with his own eyes several level-six elite zombies transforming into level-seven lord zombies in front of him.

This evolution speed is beyond the reach of human beings. In the entire Changhe base, or in the entire Qian country, there is only one seventh-level domainer, Wang Tao. But how many seventh-level zombies there are, let's not talk about it, anyway, there must be a lot.

Therefore, this operating law seems to be good for humans, but in fact it is not. The stronger humans are, the more disadvantageous it is to themselves!
For example, now, the seventh-level lord zombies have begun to appear in batches, not to mention the seventh-level disaster-level monsters. They are almost invincible, and there are a lot of them! The only one who can kill them is themselves. And once they die, they will form a large area where humans cannot survive... Whether they die or not, humans will not be happy!
And if humans do not become stronger, there will not be as many elements in the world, the overall environment will not be so good, and the upper limit and strength of all living things will not become stronger.

From this perspective, it seems that it is a good thing for humans not to take the initiative to become stronger?
But the problem is, if humans don’t become stronger, they won’t be able to defeat the zombies!

In the early days of the zombie virus outbreak, humans were not strong, so most of them died, and those who survived were struggling to survive, with no hope in sight. In order to survive, humans could only actively hunt zombies to become stronger.

So that means -

If humans take the initiative to become stronger and the world environment improves, humans will become stronger, but zombies and monsters will also become stronger. Humans cannot defeat them, and humans will die.

Humans don’t take the initiative to become stronger. The world environment is bad, humans are weak, and they still can’t defeat zombie monsters. Humans are doomed.

This is such an endless loop!
No matter how strong humans become, they will eventually die! The only difference is "if you don't become stronger, you will die earlier, and if you become stronger, you will die later"!

Although Wang Tao is now considered strong, he still cannot defeat a seventh-order destructive monster. Even if he can defeat it, he dare not hunt it at will, otherwise it will form a volcano, causing the temperature to rise again, making the already difficult life of mankind even worse...

"what happened to you?"

Seeing Wang Tao's face suddenly become ugly, Lan Yulian asked worriedly, and everyone else looked over, worried that Wang Tao might have encountered some problems when fusing the seventh-order crystal core.

Looking at everyone's worried expressions, Wang Tao hesitated for a moment, but still told them what he had just sensed.

After hearing Wang Tao's words, everyone was dumbfounded.

"If humans become stronger, they will die; if humans do not become stronger, they will still die... What the hell is this?"

"No, this is unreasonable! How can this be possible? Not giving humans space to survive?"

"In other words, all our efforts for so long have been in vain, and we will still die in the end?"

"..."

Wang Tao didn't say anything, and everyone slowly fell into silence.

At this time, He Jijun, who had been silent, spoke up:

"Wang Tao, it's not that I don't believe you, but is your feeling...really correct?"

Wang Tao wanted to say that it wouldn't go wrong, but after thinking about it, he said cautiously:

"It's hard to say. After all, this is something that can only be felt when fusing a seventh-order crystal core. I have only fused it once so far, and I have no other reference. And I'm not sure if this is an illusion..."

This wasn't all Wang Tao's way of comforting them, because when Wang Tao recalled the mysterious state before, he himself began to have some doubts. How could he feel so many things just by fusing a seventh-level crystal core?
Of course, Wang Tao was not the type to deceive himself. Since he had sensed this situation, he naturally had to treat it with caution. Even if it was really an illusion, he could not treat it as an illusion before it was proven...

"Let's go back first and tell everyone about this. Let's assume that what I feel is true. Let's brainstorm and see if there is any solution..."

Wang Tao said to everyone again.

Originally, he had hunted down several seventh-level lords today, and also got the head of a destruction-level monster, and his own strength had also been greatly improved... These were all very worthy of joy. But now, Wang Tao was not happy at all.

"Um……"

The Golden Eagle flew towards the Changhe Base with a heavy heart.

At a certain moment, Wang Tao suddenly said:
"Xiao Jin, wait a moment!"

Without explaining, he turned into a meteor and flew towards an abandoned city on the ground.

After landing, countless zombies rushed towards Wang Tao, but suddenly flames ignited on these zombies and they turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.

Wang Tao didn't even look at the zombies. He walked forward a few steps with a serious face, came to the entrance of a small waterway, stomped his feet hard, and the ground cracked inch by inch.

squeak--

A mutant rat that was sleeping soundly was suddenly forced out from underground.

Wang Tao grabbed it and his expression became more and more ugly.

This mutant rat was exactly the same as the mutant rat he sensed when he was fusing the seventh-level crystal core!
In other words, his strange state was not an illusion!
Then the laws governing the operation of the world that he sensed... were not illusions, all of this was real!
Wang Tao flew back to the back of the golden eagle.

"Did you find anything?"

Ding Yuqin asked with some curiosity.

Wang Tao raised the mutant mouse in his hand.

"I caught a rat that looked exactly like the rat I saw in that strange perception."

Wang Tao did not hide anything and told the matter directly.

The scene suddenly became quiet.

Everyone knew what this meant. "Don't think too much. There will always be a way out. We have been in the apocalypse for such a long time. We have encountered all kinds of situations, and this is no different!"

Wang Tao smiled again.

"……really!"

Hearing Wang Tao's words, everyone smiled.

When the conclusion was ambiguous, they were still very worried, fearing that the worst would happen. But now that it is confirmed, they are not so worried.

Anyway, it's the end of the world, how bad can the situation get? At worst, they will die. They have lived for so long, so they should be content.

The group returned to Changhe Base smoothly. It was already midnight.

Most people were resting, so Wang Tao didn't look for Gu Yun immediately. It was useless to be anxious.

It was not until the next day, after he had breakfast, that he found Gu Yun.

"Wang Tao, what was the harvest this time?"

Seeing Wang Tao returned safely, Gu Yun immediately smiled.

"Not bad, it exceeded my expectations. Not only did I kill a seventh-level creature, but I also planted a large number of awakening fruit trees..."

"Oh? There are still a lot of awakening fruit trees!"

Gu Yun's eyes suddenly lit up.

These are all good things that can enhance the combat effectiveness of the Changhe Base!

"But I also encountered some difficult things..."

Wang Tao said again.

"what's up?"

Gu Yun's expression immediately turned serious. If Wang Tao found it difficult, it must not be a trivial matter.

And Wang Tao didn't say "one", but "some"! Gu Yun had a bad feeling, as if something big was going to happen!

As it turned out, his guess was correct, and one thing Wang Tao said gave him a headache.

"The zombies outside are evolving too fast. Now there are quite a few level 7 zombies appearing..."

"Many seventh-level lord zombies have appeared... The speed at which the zombies evolve is too fast!"

Gu Yun's face looked very ugly.

Although the defense of Changhe Base is strong, it can only defend against zombies of level six and below. It is absolutely unable to defend against zombies of level seven and above.

The strength of the survivors at Changhe Base has improved a lot, but in battles above level seven, those below level seven are just cannon fodder, and having more people is useless!

If a seventh-level zombie appears near the Changhe Base, it will be a big trouble!
What’s more, Wang Tao said that there are many level seven lord zombies appearing. Once their numbers increase, the probability of them appearing near the Changhe base will greatly increase!

If a seventh-level lord zombie really appeared and Wang Tao happened to be away from the base, they would be in big trouble! They might be wiped out in one go!
Looking at Gu Yun's grim expression, Wang Tao paused for a moment and then continued:
"I encountered a seventh-level destruction-level magma monster. Luckily, he was almost dead, so I killed him."

"You killed a rank 7 Destroyer!"

Gu Yun, who had an ugly expression on his face, suddenly became excited again.

This is a seventh-order destruction level! Wang Tao said before that he had almost no chance of defeating a seventh-order destruction level!
But now Wang Tao had killed a rank 7 Destroyer. Even though the monster was almost dead, and even though Wang Tao had used some very costly means, it was still a genuine rank 7 Destroyer! An existence that could destroy everything!

Wang Tao was able to kill it, which means that Wang Tao's strength has improved a lot! The overall strength of the Changhe Base has also improved a lot! This is definitely something to be happy about. As the mayor, how can he not be excited?

But it was obviously too early for him to get excited. Wang Tao continued:

"I've told you before that after a destructive creature dies, its destruction domain will continue to exist for a long time and its range will expand. The destructive monster I killed was no exception. After it died on a barren mountain, the mountain directly turned into a terrifying active volcano that kept erupting. This large area is in a [severe drought], and almost no creature can survive in this environment. Even I dare not stay there for a long time..."

"..."

Gu Yun then remembered that a destructive monster might be more terrifying dead than alive!
Even Wang Tao was scared of what would happen if this lava monster died! Not to mention the others, they would definitely die if they touched it!
Moreover, there seemed to be quite a few of these seventh-order destructive magma monsters. Even if they were not attacked, they would die within a certain period of time. If a large number of them died, there might be no place for humans to survive on the entire planet!

Gu Yun immediately said:
"I will pass on the instructions and ask them to pay more attention and try to avoid unnecessary deaths..."

Wang Tao nodded, and then said:
"Do you know why the zombies outside are evolving so quickly and there are so many destruction-level monsters?"

"Ok?"

Gu Yun raised his eyebrows. Since Wang Tao asked this, he should have the answer.

Wang Tao did not wait for Gu Yun to speak, but explained on his own:
"Because the stronger humans are, the better the world will be, and the faster the zombies will evolve!"

"what?"

Gu Yun was obviously a little confused. What does this have to do with humans?
Wang Tao did not hide anything and directly explained the matter of "the laws governing the operation of the world".

After hearing this, Gu Yun felt numb.

"I suddenly feel that compared to the last question, the first two questions you mentioned are not problems... No matter how strong or weak humans are, they will eventually be destroyed. It's just a matter of time. So is there any need for us to work hard? If this matter is made public, I'm afraid the entire base will be in chaos..."

"Convene the top management to brainstorm and see if there is any solution."

"Okay!" Gu Yun nodded immediately, and then asked in confusion, "What about improving the survivors' strength? We have been doing it. Should we stop or continue?"

"continue……"

In the current situation, we must take care of the present first. Death in the future is a matter for the future. If we can't survive now, there will be no future.
