Helping each other with countless me.

Chapter 459 Standing on the wind, even pigs can fly
First of all, it must be self-protection.

The world he lives in, to be precise, is a world that has been rebuilt after an apocalypse.

And the root cause of the end of the world is also very simple.

The poison of Alaya consciousness erupted.

The world will of this world is not as powerful as the previous world of Li Zhongren, which can solidify things like dungeons.

And the outbreak of this poison is similar to that 'weird' thing.

That is, the supernatural kind.

It is the most unsolvable one.

At one point, humanity was almost destroyed by this thing.

Fortunately.

The basic population of humans is too huge, and coupled with the revival of spiritual energy, the two are intertwined, and some special human beings will always emerge.

And these people are the ghost killers of the new era.

With the attitude of learning advanced foreign skills in order to defeat them.

This type of person uses his or her body as a container to seal the ghost inside his or her body, and can also use the ghost's power. In a sense, it is quite similar to the Jinchūriki in Naruto.

It is precisely because of the emergence of this kind of people that humans are no longer helpless in the face of strange events.

Even human technology has been integrated with the supernatural because of the existence of these ghost exorcists.

Thus, mankind began to sound the clarion call for a counterattack.

The human race gradually regained its vitality by taking back its territory bit by bit.

But that's about it.

In today's world, humans are no longer at the top of the food chain.

Even the entire world's form has undergone profound changes because of this strange revival.

For example, things like rural areas have completely disappeared.

Because once night falls, the so-called rural areas have no room to resist the strange invasion.

Therefore, in today's world, the lowest level of settlements are town-level.

Generally speaking, it is a super city with several small satellite cities around it.

Small satellite cities provide various products, raw materials, and so on to super cities.

And the megacities provide protection for these satellite cities.

What is blessing?
It is similar to the totem in the previous legends. Of course, with the support of new-age technology, this thing is called a torch.

Night falls and torches burn.

Under the cover of fire, most of the monsters could not approach the town.

This is the core reason why humans can gain a foothold in this strangely resurrected world.

Megacities control how flare fuel is produced, which is another form of balance.

However, this balance is actually very fragile.

The existence of the torchlight can indeed prevent the most terrifying and powerful monsters from invading human settlements, but there will always be some that slip through the net and can sneak in through some special means.

There are always some unlucky people who die in such strange events.

Therefore, in addition to maintaining the burning of the torch, every town also needs a group dedicated to dealing with similar strange incidents.

An extraordinary police department independent of other systems.

They are responsible for handling this kind of things and are the last line of insurance under normal circumstances.

Maintaining the order of operation.

Of course, what Li Zhongren said were only the rules of the area where he was and what he had seen. As for the rules in other places, he had no idea.

Because after the strange revival, the entire world has withdrawn from the concept of the global village.

The entire blue planet is shrouded in weirdness.

It was a misty fog.

It's similar to the fog of war in games.

This kind of fog is only absent in human settlements and their vicinity. Once you leave the human settlements, the fog will cover the entire earth, and even the sunlight cannot penetrate it.

Therefore, there are no countries in this world anymore.

In their place, there are megacities one after another, as well as municipal agencies, companies, armies, towns, and so on surrounding the cities.

Perhaps, only when mankind completely conquers the weirdness and allows the sun to shine on the entire earth again, will the country reappear.

Otherwise, according to Li Zhongren's understanding, it would be somewhat like Yuan Shu's declaration of emperorship. How big is your territory, yet you dare to call yourself a country?
Far away.

Li Zhongren withdrew his thoughts.

Right now, he is in a satellite town under the super metropolis Youcheng.

His identity is an orphan.

Grew up in an orphanage.

In this post-apocalyptic era, this is a very common thing. After all, facing a strange invasion, no one dares to say that they can live in peace until old age.

So, places like orphanages are everywhere.

It’s not that these new-age rulers are so kind-hearted, but they have discovered that only when human beings gather together can they generate the ability to offset the fog.

As mentioned before, even sunlight cannot penetrate that kind of fog, and the monsters are hiding in the fog.

Only in human settlements, because there is no fog and there is sunlight during the day, will the ghosts dare not come out.

Therefore, in this post-apocalyptic era, no matter what kind of ruler you are, ensuring population stability is the most basic thing. Otherwise, the weirdness will teach you a lesson.

But that's it.

You cannot expect a power system that has emerged from the law of the jungle of doomsday to be kind. It will only provide you with a relatively safe area and a relatively stable state. Basically, as long as there is no major chaos, no one will care too much even if a few people die.

It's roughly like this.

This is why Li Zhongren first wanted to acquire the ability to protect himself.

If you want to protect yourself, there are generally two ways.

The first is that one possesses incomparably powerful strength.

The second is to have a noble status.

In theory, he can rewrite reality from these two aspects.

However, even with the plug-in customized for him by the sharing space, the book in Li Zhongren's hand could not do all of this.

Or to be more precise.

This book can only modify the general environment, but cannot be precisely defined on a particular person, not even himself.

However, even so, Li Zhongren still had a huge advantage.

After all, there was a saying in his hometown in his previous life that everyone knew.

If you stand in the right place, even pigs can fly.

The most famous example at that time was that Disneyland was going to open in Shanghai, and someone got the news in advance and bought up houses around the target location, making a lot of money.

This is what is called the wind outlet.

Since Li Zhongren has this book in his hand, he can create such opportunities countless times and then go all in.

He only had to be careful about one thing, and that was to be careful not to be blown away by the wind and fall to the ground and die.
Early in the morning, the alarm clock rang.

Li Zhongren, who had not slept all night, looked in the direction where the sound came from.

The room he was in was sealed.

This is also a common building structure after the apocalypse, that is, the rooms no longer have windows, and there are only two ways to circulate air indoors and outdoors: open the door during the day, or use a more expensive air exchanger.

The reason is also very simple.

One of the many weird abilities is that if you don't look at it, it won't be triggered, but as long as you look at it, it will affect you.

So, from then on, all windows were removed.

At dusk, before the sun sets, every household must return to their homes or rooms and lock the doors until the sun rises. During this period, no one is allowed to open the doors.

Even then, it's not 100% safe.

Because, how can you be sure that it is daybreak outside?

After all, the doors and windows are locked.

Many weird creatures will even disguise themselves as humans and knock on your door.

At this time, the problem arises. You are half asleep and someone knocks on the door. How do you tell whether it is day or dark outside?

Yes, the answer is clock.

However, the clock was not on the bedside, but on the door.

The doors of every household are special mechanical doors. After closing the door, as long as the mechanism is activated, the door can only be opened when the time comes.

Moreover, the overall structure is the oldest and simplest mechanical structure.

After all, facts have proved that it is also a simple mechanical structure. As long as the raw materials are tough enough, the probability of problems is infinitely equal to zero.

Although there may still be some unlucky people who encounter such problems, but in such a world, who dares to guarantee anything?

Being alive is a lucky thing.

open the door.

The early morning light mixed with the wind blew into Li Zhongren's room.

There is a familiar smell in the air, similar to the smell of drying quilts, but at least ten times stronger. This is the smell left by the sunlight shining on the strange lingering breath.

Outside the door, people have already started their day and you can even hear the sounds of hawking.

Li Zhongren lives in the bungalow area of ​​Nanxi Town. The environment here is a little worse, but life is actually quite convenient. After all, you can do business within a short walk.

After he finished washing up, he took his belongings, left his rental house with ease, and walked towards his workplace.

That's right, as an orphan, he started working to support himself after he turned sixteen.

Now, although he has a golden finger, he will not take the initiative to change his life.

After all, he believed in the saying that "a passing goose leaves a sound, a passing person leaves a trace", so at least until he was strong enough, it was always a good idea to be careful.

Even if one day he gets benefits, he has to let outsiders say that this kid is really lucky, instead of saying that this kid must have a secret.

Therefore, his first use of this book to modify reality is to rely on the place where he works.

Nanxi Town Slaughterhouse.

A very important place, but most people are unwilling to come to work.

After all, in this world where weirdness is rampant, this kind of flesh and blood processing factory is the easiest to absorb weirdness.

Otherwise, with the high salary here, it would not be possible for an orphan like him to come here to work. Those truly safe and lucrative positions would have been reserved long ago.

Nanxi Town Slaughterhouse.

At this moment, although it was seven o'clock in the morning, it seemed as if it was bathed in golden light.

This is a way to deal with weirdness.

Every day, the town government uses specific means to gather a large amount of sunlight and shine it heavily on the slaughterhouse.

Facts also prove it.

Such behavior is not a waste of time, but is truly useful. If you are willing, you can listen carefully and you can hear one tragic wailing after another. These sounds come from those strange wailings.

The person who is doing all this work is none other than Li Zhongren himself.

This is why he came here early.

His job is to open the lenses that have been arranged long ago according to the order in the operating manual. At that time, these lenses will automatically gather the sunlight through refraction. Even the open-air dirty pool that specializes in processing blood cannot escape this, ensuring that there are no blind spots to eliminate the weirdness attracted by the smell of blood, or the power they leave behind.

Of course, this is normal.

As mentioned before, Li Zhongren wants to make himself a pig in the wind, so there are bound to be some problems here today.
"New Era 33, July 5, 7 a.m.."

Time goes back to last night. Li Zhongren, who had been thinking hard for a long time, began to write.

"Li Zhongren, a worker at the Nanxi Town slaughterhouse, is using sunlight to disinfect the entire slaughterhouse as usual."

"Seven fifteen"

"Trucks carrying pigs to be slaughtered drive to designated locations and wait for loading and unloading."

"Seventeen"

"The truck box was not locked due to the driver's negligence, causing a pig to escape from the box and fall into the bloody and dirty pool..."

"Seven Eighteen"

"In the deepest part of the bloody dirty water pool, there is a monster hidden. It is called the Blood Monster. It is made of the blood, flesh and resentment of the slaughterhouse over the years. However, because it is disinfected by the Light Mirror every day, it has always been in a weak state. Until the arrival of the meat pig that fell into the dirty water pool, the Blood Monster found an opportunity to hide in the meat pig's body and avoid the daily disinfecting."

"Seven Nineteen"

"Li Zhongren, a worker at the slaughterhouse in Nanxi Town, called the police, and the police who specialize in handling strange incidents came to the slaughterhouse. Through detection, they determined that there was something strange in the pig's body."

"Fortunately you are cautious enough."

Li Tao patted Li Zhongren on the shoulder.

As the captain of the Nanxi Town's strange incident handling team, he was very happy to meet a cautious person like Li Zhongren. Otherwise, if this pig escaped, there would probably be a bloody storm at night. Admittedly, he would not die, but his political discipline would be tarnished.

"It should be. After all, Nanxi Town is my home, and its safety depends on everyone."

"If only everyone was as meticulous as you."

Li Tao glanced at the truck driver who had been controlled. Yes, this driver will face a series of investigations next.

why?

Living in such a post-apocalyptic environment is very stressful.

The more such an environment is, the more likely it is to breed cults.

After believing in a cult, many people will engage in unreasonable rebellion or even acts that destroy humanity.

In a sense, it is just like the group of traitors in the novel "The Three-Body Problem".
