You've become the warden, and you're telling me I'm an undercover agent?

Chapter 286 Advanced Humans
The ruins of Vistana civilization are located in the back mountain of Qingfeng Village.

The entrance is covered by rocks and can only be opened with the flesh and blood of a deformed being.

Right now, Chi Ping had no shortage of the flesh and blood of the deformed creatures. He had shattered most of the village with his full-strength attack, but from beneath the rubble, he could still dig out some mangled limbs.

Mang needed to deal with the Longchuan City Super Energy Bureau, so he went to exchange for Le Bai.

When Tuo Tu saw Le Bai for the first time, his eyes lit up.

She looked Le Bai up and down carefully, and after a while she suddenly smiled and said, "Long time no see, Miss Life."

Among the ten-faced gods, Le Bai represents life and He Ku represents death.

Le Bai looked at Tuo Tu, with a glint of wisdom in his eyes, and then nodded: "Long time no see."

Just when Chi Ping was surprised that the two knew each other, Le Bai pulled Chi Ping's sleeve:

"Who is she?"

In Le Bai's impression, Tuo Tu is still the bad woman who broke into Chi Ping's room.

Before Chi Ping could reply, Le Bai's single-core brain suddenly started thinking about something and said to Chi Ping seriously:

"Okay! You'd rather take this bad woman with you than the big sister?"

"Snapped!"

A knife slashed on Le Bai's smooth forehead.

"Don't talk nonsense." Chi Ping said.

The entrance to the ruins is a stone door, which is usually covered by loess, but now it reveals the intricate carvings.

The main part was a monster with a green face and fangs. When blood was dripped into the monster's mouth, the monster came back to life. Then, Tuotu threw the remaining flesh, bones and blood into it.

After finishing feeding, the monster opened its mouth wide, and the passage was inside the monster's mouth.

"Let's go." Tuotu pointed at the cave entrance and smiled like a mature woman.

Chi Ping took the lead, followed by Le Bai and Wei San.

The entrance to the passage was long and narrow. I walked straight for about ten minutes before I saw the light at the other end.

According to Tuotu, there are still a group of residents living in the Vistana ruins.

After the destruction of civilization, a remnant of humankind moved in. However, due to the influence of distortion factors, the descendants of these immigrants all suffered from distortion to varying degrees.

After the deformation, these people cannot leave the ruins.

Inside, there is an "alternative" human civilization.

The world within the ruins is a vast desert. The undulating sand dunes are like the yellow waves of the earth, stretching all the way to the end of this world.

The sand and gravel stirred up by the strong wind polishes every person in the world.

“It’s hot!”

These were the first words Le Bai said after appearing in this world.

The smell of the desert hits you in the face, bringing with it heat and dryness.

"Where are we going?" Chi Ping asked Tuotu, who pointed. Chi Ping looked far away and saw a long black strip on the dry yellow desert at the end of his sight.

It should be an extremely tall building, similar to the Sword Tower in the ruins of mythical civilization.

"The thing is right there."

The next step was a long trek. Chi Ping and Wei San were silent along the way, but Le Bai and Tuo Tu were...

"Le Bai, have you ever eaten cactus fruit in the desert?" Tuo Tu took the initiative to talk to Le Bai. Because of Mang, Le Bai was very wary of Tuo Tu.

"No, no." Le Bai knew that he shouldn't talk too much with her, but she was talking about food! "Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious. Do you want to eat it, Le Bai?"

Le Bai’s little head is almost showing afterimages. He can wait until he finishes eating before taking precautions.

"Is Lebai obedient?" Tuotu narrowed his eyes and asked in a persuasive tone.

"I'll be obedient!" Le Bai nodded, with a pair of eyes full of expectation on his chubby face.

"Be obedient, then we won't eat it." Tuo Tu reached out and touched Le Bai's head.

Le Bai's expression changed immediately! She dodged Tuotu's hand and said angrily:
"Bad woman!"

Don’t you feel guilty for cheating on such a naive person like Le Bai?
Along the way, the bad woman Tuo Tu teased Le Bai from time to time and never got tired of it.

And Le Bai, this fool, will be fooled again before long, and then get angry again.

The weakest among the group were all A-level, and they walked very fast in the desert. But in less than a moment, Chi Ping stopped.

Because not far away, he saw a head, and this head was groaning weakly.

When the four of them got closer, they realized that there were not one, but three.

It wasn't just heads, but three people buried in the sand. Two of them were already dead from the intense heat. An ordinary person in this situation would quickly become dehydrated and die soon after.

The one left had no flesh on his cheeks and was as thin as a bamboo pole.

He has a face as thin as a shoe horn and hair like weeds.

He was already on the verge of death, but when Chi Ping and the others stood before him, their bodies shielded him from the scorching sun, giving him a moment of shade. Only then did he manage to open his eyes.

Then he opened his mouth and said something weakly, and Chi Ping couldn't hear clearly.

Tuotu explained to everyone that this was a local form of punishment called sand punishment. The purpose was to make the prisoner die in pain and despair. After the execution, someone would come to check and cut off their head.

It is usually used to punish heretics and traitors.

"Still want to save him?" Tuotu looked at Chi Ping with interest. She wanted to see what choice Chi Ping would make.

Because now it is only clear that the person in front of him may be a criminal, but there are many types of criminals, and Ikehira, as the warden, knows this best.

So, to save or not to save?
While Chi Ping was thinking, someone came from behind.

There were three strong men riding camels. Unlike the camels outside, the camels here had also mutated.

The two humps on their backs, side by side and extending all the way to their abdomens, look a bit obscene at first glance.

In addition, their hooves have become wider and thicker, making them more adaptable to the desert environment.

As for the three men riding camels, the deformations that occurred to them were somewhat similar.

They all grew hard, dark exoskeletons all over their bodies, especially the exoskeletons on their hands, which looked like a spear.

The people here must have bred a specific type of deformed occupation through their long-term deformed life. And what Chi Ping saw was a type of warrior occupation.

When the three deformed cavalrymen met Chi Ping and his companions, they started babbleing. Chi Ping couldn't understand the language from which era or region they were speaking, but judging by their expressions, they seemed quite angry.

I guess there is a certain amount of maternal connotation in the words.

As expected, Tuotu's face darkened after hearing a few words. Immediately afterwards, three deformed cavalrymen charged the group. The dust storm brought by the camels and the noise of their galloping were truly considerable.

The three aberrant cavalrymen were clearly no mediocre warriors. Their bone spears were part of their bodies, and their exoskeletons were built for combat.

Therefore, they came with great force and acted very cleanly and efficiently.

This time, Wei San took action without Chi Ping having to speak.

He stepped back, bowed, and made a running pose, then rushed towards the three cavalrymen with his bare hands.

The three of them just thought that Wei San was crazy, and they used their mortal bodies to fight against the cavalry.

The images of countless enemies being trampled and slain in the past flashed through his mind, but the next second, they did not reappear.

The three deformed cavalrymen felt a flash before their eyes, and then they were severely hit in the chest. The three deformed cavalrymen rolled down the sand dune like rolling gourds.

The three-humped camel, on the other hand, became exceptionally well-behaved, just pacing in place.

Wei San's fists were now covered in bones. He also had a thick layer of bone armor on the front to protect him from the cavalry's frontal charge.

This time, Wei San held back, so the three cavalrymen felt pain for a while but were able to get up.

Wei San hooked his finger at them, and they kowtowed to him.

Wei San was a little confused, thinking that the people here had surrendered too quickly. However, he did not expect that the three cavalrymen would not only not run away, but would even crawl and roll to catch up with him.

Ikehira and the other three babbled a lot, but because of the [Ruins Traveler], Ikehira could understand a few words, but he was unable to understand anything else.

But Chi Ping heard clearly one of the words they used: "higher humans."

And judging by the attitudes of the three cavalrymen, they were completely different from when they first met. Besides fear, they were more respectful?
Chi Ping could only cast a puzzled look at Tuotu.

The latter gave Chi Ping a brief explanation, and the three cavalrymen mistook Chi Ping for the "higher human" here.

In the ruins, almost all residents have undergone various kinds of deformations. Through reproduction and targeted cultivation, they have preserved the beneficial deformations.

For example, there are warriors with exoskeletons, workers with strong muscles and infinite strength, technicians who are capable of various special processes, and so on.

These people are good at their jobs, but they don't look good.

Until one day, the first advanced human was cultivated in the ruins. They had the appearance of ordinary humans, but when they needed to use their abilities, they could temporarily display their deformed parts.

These people are generally much more powerful than ordinary aberrations. As advanced humans gradually exert their advantages, they occupy the top positions in various industries in the Ruins Society.

So, a rumor gradually spread:

Higher humans are God’s chosen ones!
Over time, this rumor was gradually accepted by everyone.

Finally, due to the distortion, each class in the ruins was completely solidified. The children of warriors and warriors would only be warriors. The children of high-level humans and high-level humans would only be high-level humans.

Once the species reproduces, the child born is likely to be a waste with invalid deformation.

That is, the distortion cannot create value.

In short, just like Chi Ping's wisdom tooth in his previous life, if you treat it as a deformity, then it is an invalid deformity.

Or the children born will simply be inferior humans.

Inferior humans, like higher humans, have the appearance of normal humans, but do not have the abilities of higher humans.

Therefore, after the superior humans were deified, the inferior humans became heretics and blasphemers!
The three cavalrymen had previously considered Chi Ping and his companions to be inferior humans. However, once they engaged, Wei San's abilities, including his exposed skeleton, were mistaken for deformed parts.

Therefore, everyone including Ikehira was naturally considered to be a higher class of human.

Hearing this, Chi Ping pulled out the man, who had been buried to the point where only his neck remained. He carefully examined his appearance, finding minimal deformity, with only two limp whiskers growing from his tail.

Chi Ping used his ability to gather a thin stream from his fingertips and moisten the man's mouth.

His condition has been dry for too long, so he can't drink a lot, he can only drink little by little.

After drinking the water, the man finally regained some consciousness, and Chi Ping threw him to Le Bai.

"Treat him."

"Okay!"

After leaving the Baiyin Society's village, Le Bai gradually became lazy, only doing things whenever possible. However, when it came to medical treatment and charity, he never refused.

Tuo Tu watched Le Bai's treatment with great interest, and from time to time she would get very close, so close that her face was almost touching Le Bai's face.

Every time Le Bai quickly dodged, muttering, "Bad woman."

"Little Lebai is still very cute!" Tuotu put his hands on his hips.

The three cavalrymen standing nearby trembled with fear, blood trickling from beneath their exoskeletons. But Chi Ping and his companions remained silent, so they dared not move.

Although Chi Ping already had a guess in his mind, he still asked Tuotu to ask the cavalrymen what crime the executed man had committed.

The answer given by the three horsemen was blasphemy.

To translate it, he is the same whether he is deformed or not, he just grows two useless whiskers and is directly sentenced as an inferior human blasphemer.

Ike Ping fell silent. It would be pointless to make any rash decisions before he understood the situation here.

The deformed man was quickly rescued, which made the three cavalrymen even more certain that Chi Ping and his group were advanced humans!

One of the cavalrymen even suggested that if Chi Ping didn't mind this man, he could take him in as a servant or something. However, his crimes could naturally be forgiven by the presence of higher humans.

Life and death penalty, just a thought away. Chi Ping thought it was too frivolous, but he didn't say anything.

I asked the man's name, and judging by the pronunciation, his name almost fits Chi Ping's naming rule of "the older he grows, the more powerful he becomes".

Chi Ping simply gave him a nickname, "Sha Li Mai".

Sarimai immediately expressed her happiness and her willingness to be loyal to Ikehira.

Through Tuo Tu's narration, Chi Ping learned that due to the long-term closure and lack of resources, the development speed here is extremely slow, and the current political system is still a combination of politics and religion.

What happens next is much simpler.

When the three cavalrymen learned that Chi Ping and they were going to the same destination, they voluntarily gave up their mounts.

But since there were only three camels, a cavalryman went to a nearby oasis to borrow a few more, and gave the ones with the best strength and the most comfortable riding to Chi Ping and others.

Even Sha Limai had obtained a mount. He felt that the moment was too dreamy. If it weren't for the bodies of his two companions behind him, he would definitely think it was a dream.

Along the way, there was a cavalryman who was hesitant and wanted to get close to Chi Ping but didn't dare.

After Tuotu translated it, I learned that the cavalryman's wife had just given birth to a son. She hoped that people like Chi Ping, as superior humans, would bless the child.

It is said to be a blessing, but in fact it is just a pat on the head and a few words of blessing.

But as soldiers, they believe in these things very much.

Chi Ping naturally agreed. The camel traveled for another half day before finally arriving at the first city in the ruins.
The city of Shariwa.

When Chi Ping and the other four high-level humans entered the city, they caused a huge sensation in the city.
