The Book of Heaven

Chapter 404 Chapter [-] Demon Mound

"Dang, dang."

The ceramic cups and saucers kept colliding in the hands of the proprietress, and the extremely distinctive shoehorn face was almost full of anger.

"I am an aristocrat of the Han Empire, and you are a native of Lelang. If you dare to insult me, even if I don't do anything, I can sue you to the government. At that time, I will definitely face a lawsuit, and if I don't, I will have to seize it." Your shop, are you sure you want to speak?" Zhao Shuying seemed to know everything without turning her head, and her voice was extremely cold, as if she was saying something very ordinary.

Boss Nian's trembling hands finally calmed down gradually, and the sound of "dang bang bang bang" also subsided.

"Even if you are an imperial noble, you shouldn't say that about us." Taking the tableware back to the counter, it was obvious that Ma Zheng and Zhao Shuying would not be able to eat in this shop today.Such a result made Ma Zheng feel very helpless, but the laws of the empire also stipulated that even nobles like Zhao Shuying could not bully other ethnic groups for no reason, otherwise they would also be punished, even if the punishment was relatively easy. But it will affect the entire Zhao family.

Ma Zheng still agrees with the empire's considerations in this regard. Whether a multi-ethnic country can enjoy long-term stability depends on handling these details. Think about it. Isn't it caused by looking at the Han people who occupy the absolute majority of the population as adults?
At least so far, the empire has done a good job. It not only ensures the superiority of its own nobles, but also maintains the dignity necessary for other nations. Just like the proprietress in front of me, she said she would not do business with Ma Zheng and Zhao Shuying. No one can say that she is wrong, of course, if she dares to say not to do business with all Han people, then she will be out of luck.

After changing a restaurant, Ma Zheng no longer asked Zhao Shuying those silly questions. This woman's heart is too straight and her mouth is too poisonous. The mouth is about to fade out of the bird.

After successfully eating some hot food to fill his stomach, Ma Zheng began to savor the difference between the food in Lelang and the mainland. Since even the language and characters have been assimilated, the difference in food is not too big Now, at least not like in later generations, the table is always full of kimchi. To be honest, Ma Zheng always feels that no matter how good the kimchi is, it can only show one thing-it is true that fresh vegetables cannot be bought.

The climate of this era is different from that of later generations, and the population is also different, so at least until now, Le Lang still has no shortage of fresh vegetables, and naturally there will be no such thing as making a table of tea.

After they were full, the two divided the work, Zhao Shuying was in charge of finding a place to rest, while Ma Zheng went straight into the tea shop.

With the expansion of the empire, teahouses, places full of Han characteristics, spread almost everywhere where Han people lived, and you only need to spend some time in teahouses to find out the news you want to know.

"Yaomogang" is a place less than [-] miles away from Lelang City. The reason why it is called Yaomogang by the locals is not because the terrain of that place is particularly dangerous, but because within a radius of ten miles of Yaomogang. Seeing all kinds of weird things, these things are as terrifying as demons, and they are extremely aggressive, and the people they encounter are almost dead.

It is precisely because of the weird characteristics of that place that it is called Demon Hill by the locals.

And the place Ma Zheng was going to happened to be that demon hill.

"Why do all kinds of mutated creatures appear?" Through the descriptions of the locals, Ma Zheng understood that those so-called demons are actually formed by the mutation of ordinary creatures, because basically they can find the characteristics of the main body from the descriptions, so that they can judge out of species.

There are mutated beasts such as wolves and leopards, as well as six-legged rabbits, spiders the size of human heads, and so on.After these creatures have mutated, not only do they look terrifying in appearance, but more importantly, their living habits have also changed accordingly.A wolf that eats meat is normal, but a rabbit that eats meat is abnormal.

"That's a kind of radiant energy caused by the damage of the spacecraft's energy under extraordinary circumstances. There will be no problem with short-term exposure to this radiant energy. However, if you accidentally eat soil or water contaminated with this energy, it will be harmful to living things. It will affect the genes of the individual, leading to mutations in the next generation, and the mutated genes will continue to be passed on, and the final result cannot be estimated without detailed data."

Nini's answer was very detailed, but it's a pity that Zhao Shuying basically couldn't understand, so she had to say it simultaneously and let Ma Zheng understand. Seeing Ma Zheng nodding frequently, Zhao Shuying felt very frustrated.

"Why do you understand what Nini said but I don't understand?"

"Oh, it's nothing, it's normal."

"No, I want to know why?" Zhao Shuying asked Ma Zheng persistently, but Ma Zheng couldn't tell Zhao Shuying directly. Is it because he used to live in a technologically advanced world?Of course you can't say that, so Ma Zheng can only attribute the answer to this question to IQ, and this answer made Zhao Shuying ignore Ma Zheng for four hours.

The two of them packed up their things and left the city early the next morning. Thirty miles is not too far away, but according to Nini, the warehouse that fell from the aircraft could not be exposed on the surface. If it was on the surface, it would definitely not A radiation variation zone with a radius of ten miles is formed, because as long as it is exposed to the flowing air, the rain and sea breeze will quickly dissipate the energy that only exists on the surface.

So that part of the warehouse should be deep underground, at least a depth of more than ten meters. According to Nini's calculations, when the warehouse fell, a large amount of soil would be thrown up to cover itself. If mutant creatures have formed, it is likely to be There are caves where the warehouses are buried.

It was this kind of cave that Ma Zheng and Zhao Shuying were looking for.

Even if Nini is an artificial intelligence, it can calculate many things, but it can't help in finding the specific location of the warehouse, because it lacks the means of external detection, so it can only rely on the five senses of the two to complete the task. matter.

For Ma Zheng and Zhao Shuying, the [-]-mile journey from leaving Lelang City to arriving outside the Yaomogang is a small matter. Occasionally there are people on the road, and the two of them let go of their pace and run, and they will definitely arrive faster than riding a horse.

"arrive."

Perhaps the local government deliberately erected a sign at the junction of Yaomogang and the official road in order to prevent people from entering by mistake. The words "Demongang" were clearly written on it. Ma Zheng and Zhao Shuying saw it from a long distance away. It's just that in order to avoid some unnecessary troubles, they waited until there was no one around before rushing into the dense forest at the fastest speed.

The demon hill that has been abandoned by people for hundreds of years has a completely different environment from the official road that is only separated by a thin line.Because of the lack of human intervention, not only the trees in the Demon Mound are taller, but all kinds of shrubs are crazily filling the gaps between the huge trees. Even the weeds on the ground have grown in size after countless generations of evolution. Kankan pressed against Ma Zheng's chest.

If Zhao Shuying wasn't tall and tall, he might have been drowned by such weeds.

"It doesn't seem to be a big deal except that the flowers and plants grow more lushly."

After entering the Demon Mound, Zhao Shuying said softly.
