In the wasteland, cannibalism is actually not a big deal.
It is not so difficult for large or top forces that are relatively rich in resources and can barely achieve self-sufficiency.
Basically, the normal food that can be produced on a daily basis is enough to meet the minimum survival needs of the entire force.
In this case, it is less common to use the same species as food.
It's not that it doesn't happen, but it doesn't happen often unless it's necessary.
But for small forces, or even micro forces, cannibalism is a very common phenomenon.
Especially those micro-forces with basically zero material production capacity, their food sources are extremely limited, and their overall strength is too poor. Not to mention that they cannot compete with other survivor forces, even if they want to hunt mutant creatures, they are often unable to do so.
In this way, the same kind will naturally become an important part of food.
There are even many people who specialize in hunting their own kind. After slaughtering the animals, they eat what they can eat and sell the rest to butchers.
Butchers are not shy about the source of this meat.
The asking price when selling to the outside world will definitely not be lowered just because they are of the same type.
Anyway, no matter where the meat comes from, as long as it can fill your stomach, it is good meat.
However, people in small groups are different after all.
With the help of Fei Changyuan, an old fox who was already famous in the world before the catastrophe, and fortunately found a huge pre-war canned food warehouse.
Over the years, I have never worried about food, so I will definitely not lower my standards and will definitely stick to the bottom line.
In this way, he might have eaten the flesh of his own kind for no apparent reason. One can imagine how Xu Qinghe would feel.
The sky is falling!
"This kind of thing... we have no right to interfere. Not only because we're outsiders, but also because we're a subsidiary force. If the Red Nation were our subsidiary force, we could simply issue some orders and demand that they make changes. That would definitely be fine. Unfortunately... if we dared to interfere in the Red Nation's internal affairs as a subsidiary force, wouldn't we also be canned?"
Qin Yourong stuck out her tongue, sensing Chen Yan's slightly worse mood, and continued to comfort him, "At most, it will take half a month for the blood source we sent to take effect. Then we can try to influence the Crimson Nation through the strengthening of the blood source."
Chen Yan shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. The Crimson Nation is not a collectively governed force, but a dictatorship. Just like Kahn Company, even though Yan Xiao, as the chairman, holds an absolute dominant position within the company, anything Yan Xiao wants to promote is almost impossible to be stopped within Kahn Company."
But on the surface, Kahn Company still had a board of directors, and Yan Xiao still had to respect the opinions of the other directors. If he had to go against a director's wishes and force something, Yan Xiao would have to compensate that director accordingly. However, such a compromise would never happen in the Crimson Nation.
There is one and only one voice in the Red Nation. Everyone else, even the rulers, must obey this single voice. The only way for our bloodline to have a real impact on the Red Nation is if the leaders of the Red Nation also want to change their bloodline.
But he's already a Five-Star Ruler, arguably at the pinnacle of individual power in the current wasteland. Under these circumstances, what's his motivation for replacing his entire bloodline? As long as he doesn't, we'll at most assimilate a group of powerful individuals, and the Crimson Nation itself won't change at all."
Fei Changyuan said with a smile, "Don't be discouraged. What if he thinks this method can increase the probability of unlocking a higher level of genes? A zero-contamination blood source is still very necessary even if the ruler has completed the purification of the body.
Because no matter how much purification is done, it is impossible to completely eliminate it. And the Dominator is stuck at the limit of 90% gene unlocking, unable to improve even 1%. This may be achieved through absolute purification of the blood.
It doesn't even need to be much, just a one percent increase is enough to evolve from a Dominator to a Controller. It might seem like a one percent increase in genetic unlocking, but for a five-star Dominator, it's a fundamental change. With such a huge potential payoff, anyone would want to give it a try, right?
Chen Yan thought about it and felt that this was indeed the case.
But then he thought of another question and frowned, "If the Crimson Nation really provides all of this blood to the Ruler, and doesn't use it for emergency use in the blood bank, but instead uses it as an opportunity for the Ruler to break through the bottleneck, then... will it also have an unknown impact on me?
"I'm only at the ninth level of awakening, though I'm only a step away from becoming a Dominator. But an awakened person is an awakened person. My main body is only an awakened one, and suddenly there are so many Dominator-level offspring. Won't this cause a backlash? Or perhaps even cause the offspring to go out of control?"
Fei Changyuan blinked, and then without saying anything, he immediately opened the virtual screen of the smart bracelet and started calculating on it.
A large number of symbols and formulas appeared on the virtual screen.
Chen Yan looked at the formulas that kept flashing on the virtual screen, and suddenly felt dizzy.
His visual ability was enough to clearly capture every flashing image on the virtual screen, but he really couldn't understand the formulas listed on it.
Mathematics is something that is not meant to be learned by humans most of the time...
The room fell into silence, and no one made any sound so as not to disturb Fei Changyuan's calculations and analysis.
Only Xu Qinghe was sitting alone in the corner, feeling sad and doubting his life.
After about half an hour, Fei Changyuan finally completed the analysis based on the existing mathematical model and came to a relatively accurate conclusion.
A complex expression appeared on his face. Fei Changyuan looked at Chen Yan with a strange look in his eyes and said, "According to the calculations I have made, if the Crimson Nation only provides this blood source to the Rulers and does not allow it to be used by the Awakened, then as the number of Ruler-level sub-bodies increases, your main body will naturally be promoted to the Ruler level."
kindness?
There is such a good thing?!
Chen Yan widened his eyes.
Fei Changyuan continued, "And the more people who become the rulers of the offspring, the higher the degree of gene unlocking, and the greater the reverse influence will be. In short, you won't suffer any harm, only great benefits."
