Lingwu: I am the only immortal

Chapter 188 Humans here are endangered
Zhou Yi was not in a hurry to pursue Sheng Ying and Shen Miao.

After all, in his analysis, he was just a fisherman and suffered an unreasonable disaster.

The mastermind behind the teleportation should be Shen Miao, a descendant of the Great Chess Party, and he was also targeting Sheng Ying.

As for him, it was almost impossible for Shen Miao to have imagined that Zhao Er, the bully nephew of the admiral eunuch, was actually an accomplished monk of the Yuqing lineage.

Of course, the main reason for Zhou Yi's lack of motivation to follow is that even if he catches him, he probably won't be able to return the same way.

He thought that Shen Miao was just using the legacy of her ancestors and if she wanted to go back, she had to find another way.

Moreover, if he ran away, the monk could not escape from the temple. He could hold the Aland Cauldron Sect accountable later. If the other party was willing to compensate him for another Tiangong treasury, then the matter would be over.

Flying in the wind is comparable to a hang glider, covering more than 20 kilometers in just a few minutes.

But when he got to the place, he realized that the excitement could not catch up with him after all.

It's not as simple as coming half an hour late, but at least ten days and a half month late.

The black smoke that was seen from a distance was not that the military fort was burning, but that the people here were organizing and burning corpses.

However, the method was unprofessional, the firewood used was not enough, and it was still damp, so a good classical cremation turned into an embarrassing scene, which reminded Zhou Yi of his experience of making campfires for picnics in the suburbs when he was a student in his previous life.

"If you want to call for reinforcements through this unprofessional beacon, then congratulations, you succeeded, I am the reinforcement."

Facing a group of people who were obviously nervous when they saw him falling from the sky, Zhou Yi spoke first.

The appearance of these people is really pitiful, unkempt, ragged, and haggard. These people are just like the legendary refugees.

Zhou Yi's goodwill was released, and soon there was good feedback. A man with a beard who was watching Ben Si stood up and negotiated with Zhou Yi on behalf of everyone.

"Hello, my name is Zhou Zhuo, a captain of the Glory Fort. The situation is very bad right now. I'm glad to have a master like you to help. To be honest, we need every ounce of strength right now."

"My surname is also Zhou, and my single name is 'Yi', which means Yi. I like to be concise and to the point, and don't need to say polite words.

If you don't mind, you can tell me what happened here, and then I will take action as appropriate. "

We were a family 500 years ago. When Zhou Zhuo saw this wind-riding master taking the initiative to get close to him, he was immediately flattered and quickly dispelled his doubts.

The idea is derived from the instinctive awe of the weak towards the strong: What do I have for people like me to plot?
If these words were placed in modern times on earth, they would definitely be slapped in the face repeatedly by reality.

As everyone knows, many strong people rely on bullying.For example, if money is regarded as a variant of power, then capitalists are undoubtedly the strong ones...

Zhou Yi is not a pure or noble person. He does it for profit and to please his own conscience.

Yuxian County Town failed to save a few people, and I have always been a little resentful. Now that I can't come up with a high-sounding reason to ignore the tragedy and continue to unfold, I help, and the psychological factor of doing good things has taken over.

However, after hearing Zhou Zhuo's account of the situation here, even he couldn't help but have the urge to take a breath, and then he got angry.

This region, no, it should be said that this country, is in dire straits and dire straits are not enough to describe how miserable it is.

Zhou Yi believes that if what Zhou Zhuo said is not exaggerated, then all human beings in this country are almost dead!

The country's subjugation is basically certain.

Now looking at genocide, this is still a bit suspenseful.

"What a big move. It actually wants to exterminate the human race. It's okay!"

Zhou Yi's emotions were aroused and he entered a strange and eerie state of excitement.

The last time he entered this state was when he entered the world of Yuanli and led the crowd into the camp of the earth demon army.

However, the situation that time was somewhat different from this time.

It was a moment of passion that came violently and went away relatively quickly.

This time it was the rainy season, and the sun was covered with haze, making it difficult to clear up.

"Let's do it one by one, deal with the dead first..."

The so-called dealing with the dead first is actually the idea of ​​​​"remaining energy", and of course there are lingering souls.

When the blue ghost fire replaced the badly burned ordinary flame and blazed, reflecting the surrounding area like a ghost, the survivors of the Glory Army Fort looked at Zhou Yi with more and more awe.

No one was too fussy about this, but it was actually because in recent times, they had been exposed to what it meant to be a sanctimonious person and a treacherous person. Many people's perceptions had been repeatedly rubbed, and they finally no longer judged people by their appearance.

Seeing that people's acceptance was acceptable, Zhou Yi told the truth: "There is still some life force that can be extracted from these corpses.

Since ancient times, primitive tribes have said that they can eat their enemies and friends to inherit their power.

Of course, times are progressing, and some primitive customs may seem blasphemous now.

I am just telling you that when humans exist in the world, they must interact with nature. Burials in the earth become fertilizer and green plants grow, or burials in the sky or at sea are eaten by birds and fish. This is all a kind of transformation.

Etiquette is the proof of civilization. We use etiquette to restrain ourselves and get rid of the influence of animal nature, but this does not mean that we can change certain essences.

Now that we are faced with life and death, we must let go of some etiquette and decency.Only by surviving first can we have a chance to rebuild civilization. "

To be honest, Zhou Yi's statement, even at this time, makes people feel more or less psychologically uncomfortable.

The paths people have taken are different, and their cognitions and limits are also different. For that person, starving to death is a small matter, but losing integrity is a big deal.Especially when asking others, the moral statement is the same.

Zhou Yi actually doesn't particularly care about the feelings of these people.At the same time, I also believe that when the time is right, the law of true fragrance will take effect.

However, some things should be explained as much as possible. This is his own principle of doing things.

Ming Huo quickly burned up many corpses, and Zhou Yi asked people to collect the ashes.

"This dark ash can absorb evil spirits and has a purifying effect, just like lime prevents moisture and eliminates insects."

As soon as people heard this, they immediately became more energetic at work.These days, they are plagued by evil spirits.

Accompanied by Zhou Zhuo, Zhou Yi went to visit the wounded.

Speaking of this Glory Castle, the geographical location and even the topography are good.

Its due north, northwest, west, and even southwest are all wide waters.

This wide body of water is like the Caspian Sea. It is said that the span from north to south is close to three thousand miles, and the maximum span from east to west is more than seven hundred miles.

And the Glory Castle is in its southeast corner.

It feels to Zhou Yi that a lighthouse should be built here.

Perhaps it would be a modern age with more developed shipping, or a maritime country, would do the same.

But now, the Glory Castle stands on a large island-like rock, guarding the official road cross that goes south and east to west in the area.

If you think about it, if you don't have such advantages, you won't waste money and money to build such a military facility based on huge stones and built on big stones.

However, the role of this military fort is now abolished.

Sufficient military strength must be stationed to block the main road. After all, there is a large plain and wilderness nearby, which is not conducive to setting up barriers, and it requires ranger patrols to completely control it.

But now there is no ordinary shortage of personnel here.

There are not many real aborigines, which is one of the reasons why Zhou Zhuo, a mere captain, became the top person in charge.

Of course, these are particularly difficult times, and being a leader is not easy.Not only do you lead by example, but you also have to go the extra mile than others to take the lead and keep people from completely screwing up.

Now, including the wounded, there are less than 300 people here. They have just eaten one meal and not another. Even the fortress itself, which is the only safe place, is actually half-destroyed.

Not only was it severely washed with siege weapons, but it was also set on fire. It was a smoky ruin, but it was still the best choice for the survivors, which showed how bad the situation of these people was.

The wounded people lived in the best rooms, but in Zhou Yi's eyes, they were not as good as modern rough rooms.

Although the rough house was ugly, at least it was dry, but here it was damp and eerie.

It seemed to Zhou Yi that this place was secretly polluted, and good people would get sick if they stayed there for a long time.

But according to the prevailing trend of what Zhou Zhuo calls "evil spirits", there is no need to resort to such sneaky tactics.

In other words, the evil pollution here is probably due to other reasons...

The injuries of the wounded were, as Zhou Zhuo said, mainly due to poisoning.

The extraordinary toxin penetrates the flesh and corrodes the bones, making it more terrifying than ordinary infection and swelling.

Zhou Zhuo and the others were helpless against this kind of evil energy pollution.

Zhou Yi can cure it, but it is nothing more than removing the poison.

The problem is that if the infection is more serious, removing the virus is equivalent to removing the life!
Zhou Yi said: "Among the corpses burned before, there was Paoze who died from injuries, right?"

Zhou Zhuo nodded sadly: "We don't want to either, but we have to eat to live, and the hunting team must go out to find food. And as long as the skin is scratched by those evil things, this is basically the end."

In fact, Zhou Zhuo and the others have long since lost their kindness to women. When the situation deteriorates to a certain extent, they can be cruel and take the lives of their companions to prevent them from suffering.

But the insidious aspect of this evil energy infection is that in the late stage of infection, people are often confused, lethargic, and not much awake.

The client wakes up occasionally and says that his consciousness is deep in a nightmare and in pain. But from the perspective of a bystander, it is really difficult to understand this kind of phantom pain. Just looking at the appearance, the physical condition seems to be okay, so he can't bear to do something evil and hopes for a miracle. can appear.

After all, it’s not like they didn’t get through it, but the proportion is relatively low.

In short, at the end of the day, it's basically a case of being at the gate of hell, and the person is no longer human, so he ruthlessly kills him before he completely turns into an evil thing and causes disaster.

This incident alone is a huge blow to morale. Many people feel that life is just about hanging on, and living is suffering. Naturally, the group atmosphere is not getting better.

When Zhou Yi takes action, the effect is immediate, and combined with the injection of vitality, it is very intuitive.

Even those who were seriously injured, their condition and complexion improved significantly after his treatment.

Those whose breathing was rapid and high-frequency, or as thin as a gossamer, became gentle, powerful, and long.

Breathing is the most basic manifestation of state. Abnormality in this means that there is probably a problem with the blood oxygen content, and half of the body is in the underworld.

Now there is obvious improvement, and some even fall asleep and snore a little.Even those who know little about medicine know that this is a complexion.

After the news spread, people were naturally very excited, and some even cried with joy, as if all the hardships had come to an end.

However, Zhou Yi asked Zhou Zhuo to pour cold water on him. Those who were too seriously corroded by the evil energy could not be saved. They could only be made to wake up completely for a period of time and explain their last words.

More importantly, this kind of treatment requires resources and can be understood as alternative medicinal materials. Therefore, if Zhou Yi can save this wave, it may not be possible for the next wave, let alone everything will be fine.

"The food problem must be solved, even if it can be alleviated a little, it is necessary. I plan to go there myself and conduct on-site inspections by the way."

Zhou Yi was not discussing with Zhou Zhuo, but saying hello and telling him what he was going to do next.

Nowadays, people here have been reduced to a state where they need to take risks for the most basic survival needs.

Safety is important, but even more important is feeding your stomach.

This was also the reason why the hunting team still had to be dispatched even though they were suffering from casualties.

But as time goes by, this team, which has been spinning in a vicious circle, has become increasingly difficult to meet even this basic need.

This is also the reason why Zhou Yi mentioned the food issue first when he opened his mouth.

Zhou Zhuo opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.

He actually wanted to remind Zhou Yi that with nearly [-] mouths, the amount of basic food needed for a day is not low. Even if one person has one kilogram on average, it would still be three hundred kilograms of food.

In fact, one kilogram is not enough. If there are enough meat and eggs to help, it is almost the same. If not, it is just whole grains. After one kilogram of grains, you will still feel obviously hungry.

Especially when the body is deprived of nutrients for a long time, if there is not enough food, the condition will only get worse and worse. This is the beginning of a vicious cycle.

Zhou Yi had another idea.

In his mind, to save these refugees from life and death, the focus is not on how much food can be found, but on expanding the recipe.

His previous speech when he burned corpses with hellfire to extract the 'remaining energy' might not have been intended to pave the way for expanding the recipe.

Of course, direct cannibalism is absolutely not recommended.

This is not simply a choice between human nature and bestiality, but also a matter of basic trust within the team.

If cannibalism occurs, people with their wisdom will inevitably wonder: Who is next?
Today I was hurt for everyone, will I be reduced to the weak tomorrow and be eaten first?

If everyone has this kind of hellish mentality, why should we play in a team?Most of the energy is used to deal with the werewolf killing every day, how can you do serious things?
So some things, even if they are essentially what they are, have to be expressed in a more euphemistic way.

Inherit the power of your companions and gain the power of your enemies.Cannibalism for this reason...

Even the true barbarians of primitive tribes know how to whitewash it, and the descendants who have established civilization will naturally do better.

The more appropriate method that Zhou Yi could think of was 'transcendent sin-eating'.

Doing so is the right choice for the moment, but it does violate moral ethics. The act of taking this responsibility is called sin-eating.

And Chaofan can be a good scapegoat.

In the future, when these people look back on the present, they can shirk their responsibilities: He is an extraordinary and powerful man, and even if we twist him together, he is not enough to kill him with one hand. How can we prevent the implementation of his ideas?

In addition, the use of 'surplus power' also requires a line to be drawn.

The main purpose of this line for everyone is to prevent them from mastering this kind of technology.

As for the line he drew, the main point was not to use it on living people.

Even if that person is judged to have deserved the crime, even if it is known that the extraction while alive will be more abundant than the extraction after death, it will not be used on the living person.

In fact, it is already very dangerous to cross the line between sentencing and execution.

The crux of the dispute between Batman and the Joker lies in this line.

Zhou Yi admitted that he had crossed this line very early: I think you are guilty, so go die.The knife falls from the hand...

Isn’t this just using one’s own justice and even preferences to deprive others of their right to live?

This is already a distortion of human nature. If we continue to squeeze the vitality of living people, it will also lead to the loss of morality.It's not an exaggeration to say he's a demon.

So no matter what the reason is, you can't continue to be like this. Even if you kill first and then squeeze, you have to take off your pants even if you fart. This is a fig leaf for human nature.

Human nature begins with having that fig leaf, which means you know what shame is.

Coming out of the military fort, Zhou Yi saw that it was still early in the sky, so he prepared to go north along the water to find out.

The only ferry nearby, right there, is called Maogongdu, and it has actually developed into a town whose main industries are water transportation and fishing.According to Zhou Zhuo, there is already a world of aberrant monsters. The search team of Glory Castle first started there. Now it has no value, only terror.

However, Zhou Yi felt that by relying on water, even if a few fishing boats came back, there would be another way to obtain food.

As for the evil spirits in the water that frighten the survivors, this involves the focus of Zhouyi's "expanded recipe".

Although these lower body water snakes and upper body humanoid figures appear to have given birth to an early civilization, and claim to be the direct descendants of Nuwa and Fuxi.

However, since it is not a human being and is causing harm to others, let's treat it as a monster.

There's nothing wrong with killing and eating animal meat, right?
