Chapter 56 "The Truth about Anxi Settlement"

Hearing Jiang Yan's question, Gao Chou turned around and looked around, focusing on the tree trunk that Jiang Yan had used to make the curved shaft plow, and then walked to the tree trunk.

He picked up the thick tree trunk with both arms, raised it above his head with one hand, carefully walked to the gravel road in the courtyard, and threw it into the distance with one hand.

"Bang!"

With a push by Gao Chou with one hand, the thick tree trunk drew a round arc, and then with a dull sound, it hit the seedlings beside the road impartially.

"Hey, I'm crazy!"

Seeing the collapsed seedlings, Jiang Yan stood up in the distance instantly, ran to the tree trunk in a panic, and kicked the tree trunk aside.

"Fortunately."

Covered by furrows, the seedlings were not damaged by the tree trunks. After carefully checking the seedlings, Jiang Yan turned around and looked at Gao Chou.

The tree trunk just now weighed at least sixty kilograms. Gao Chou lifted it with one arm and even threw it so far. His arm strength had obviously reached an astonishing level. Looking at the slender Gao Chou in front of him, Jiang Yan is extremely curious.

"How did Gao Chou grasp such a big tree trunk with one hand?"

Jiang Yan naturally did not reveal the doubts in her heart. Looking at Gao Chou in front of her, Jiang Yan confirmed her previous inference that radiation had indeed changed the human body.

However, does radiation only bring benefits to humans?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yan sat down at the table with Gao Chou, took the compressed biscuits prepared before, poured a pot of cold boiled water, and started cooking at home.

"Is there anyone else in the family?"

Gao Chou was a little uncomfortable with Jiang Yan's sudden change. Seeing Jiang Yan's expression change in front of him, Gao Chou hesitated and sat on the chair.

"Yes, there is a biological mother, but she doesn't care about the life or death of these heirs."

Hearing Gao Chou's answer, Jiang Yan suddenly realized something was wrong. Gao Chou's words clearly hinted that he had many brothers and sisters, but for some reason Gao Chou only mentioned that sister and did not hear any information about other brothers. .

Seizing this point, Jiang Yan asked detailed questions. She didn't know if she didn't ask. After asking, Jiang Yan heard a piece of information that shocked her to the extreme.

"My biological mother is the leader of the Anxi settlement. Half of the people in the Anxi settlement are the children of my biological mother."

After hearing Gao Chou's description, Jiang Yan finally understood that in just 50 years, the world had transformed from a patriarchal society to a matrilineal society. The highest leader of the Anxi settlement was the biological mother. Apart from half of the offspring, some were descendants. male.

These male males are not only responsible for carrying on the family line, but are also responsible for part of the settlement protection, while the other females are responsible for housekeeping and part of the food collection.

In short, the current Anxi settlement is like a mutated ant tribe. The queen ant holds supreme power and rules all the people. All the remaining ants, regardless of gender, have become the queen's tools.

"How did it become like this!"

Hearing Gao Chou's description, Jiang Yan froze in shock. The population system of the Anxi settlement obviously made the queen the supreme leader, but except for the queen, no one else had their own rights.

They are born with their own obligations, and everyone's life is to fulfill their own obligations. If they are unable to fulfill their obligations, they will be abandoned by the tribe.

Gao Chou's half-sister did not want to become such a machine and be killed in the wilderness by the tribe.

"You also think this method is wrong, right!" Looking at Jiang Yan's shocked expression, Gao Chou was a little excited. "As you said, sometimes we have to do things that violate survival to prove that we are human beings, but the Anxi settlement is obviously trying to survive for the sake of survival!"

Looking at Jiang Yan with burning eyes, Gao Chou hoped to get some recognition.

"Indeed, although the continuation of the race is very important, the way to continue the population is more important than the continuation of the population." After coming back to his senses, Jiang Yan looked at Gao Chou, thought for a moment and said.

With the extinction of human beings, the replacement of systems is a normal thing. Jiang Yan had some psychological preparations for this, including the transformation from a patriarchal society to a matrilineal society. None of this surprised Jiang Yan.

What really surprised Jiang Yan was that the system of the Anxi settlement has obviously erased all humanity and treated all humans as screws on the assembly line. It does not require all emotions or any humanity. It only requires you to be at a specific time. Keep doing certain things so that they feed you like food.

This method, used on low-IQ creatures like ants or bees, is obviously more conducive to the continuation of the race, but they are obviously human beings.

Human beings have higher-level pursuits, just like Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory.

First there are physiological needs, food, water, sex, and sleep.

After physiological needs are satisfied, human beings have safety needs, such as stability, safety, and freedom from fear.

When the first two points are met, human beings will have emotional needs, such as love, friendship, and some ordinary social interactions.

Before the end, the vast majority of human beings have satisfied the first three needs and turned to pursue higher-level needs.

For example, respect needs.

After getting food, safe shelter, and gaining love and friendship, people need some status or respect from others, maybe money, maybe social status.

Before the end of the world, the vast majority of human beings are also pursuing this.

The rest of self-realization and transcending needs are not something most people have the ability to accomplish, and Jiang Yan doesn't understand them too well.

Human survival, including reconstruction at the end of the world, is all about completing the first three levels of needs, food, safety, and care.

But as Jiang Yan said before, the way to fulfill these three needs is more important than fulfilling these three needs. The current behavior of the Anxi settlement is obviously to feed humans as beasts.

Just like pigs on an assembly line, they eat the same but nutritious food every day from birth. They are castrated when they are young, and then sent to the slaughterhouse as soon as they reach adulthood. Then they are fed according to various needs. And were slaughtered into various shapes.

Every day is like a day, and life can be seen to the end at a glance.

This is contempt for human nature and obliteration of human wisdom.

"Are other settlements like this too?" Jiang Yan asked after thinking.

However, after hearing these words, Gao Chou on the side suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Jiang Yan with disbelief.

"You! Didn't you come from the Linggong settlement? How could you not know!"

Gao Chou's shocked tone made Jiang Yan, who was still deep in thought, react instantly. Seeing the latter's excitement, Jiang Yan's hand quietly climbed to the pistol on his waist, and his whole body tensed up.
