Miaro naturally would not keep anyone in suspense in this situation. He directly explained the purpose of the alarm to everyone.
"This is Changquan Town's Level 3 emergency alarm. Once this alarm sounds, it means... more than ten people have died in the town!"
"And this is not a simple death. It is necessary to explain the specific circumstances to the residents of the town immediately."
"This alarm is also a gathering order for everyone to go to the mayor."
"...Is this situation common?" Ashes asked with a frown.
"It was quite common before the Holy Healing Potion was invented."
Changquan Town is located at the junction of Sargon and Fenfeng Hot Land.
Strictly speaking, the Burning Wind Land is not Sargon's territory. It is a free wilderness without a king or a government, and Changquan Town is also a "border town" in a sense.
Naturally, many things will happen.
They had experienced attacks by mercenaries, bandits, and natural disasters. Because this place was located in a remote area, there were many strange wild creatures, and they had also experienced attacks by swarms of crabs.
"But since the Holy Healing Potion came into being, this situation has basically disappeared."
The Holy Healing Potion not only strengthened their bodies and made them fearless of natural disasters and attacks by wild animals, but also solved the problem of banditry to a certain extent.
It’s not that they can beat the bandits after being strengthened. They take medicine and the bandits also take medicine.
You can't win if you have to.
The real solution is that after being strengthened by Holy Healing, the Terran people's diet has expanded a lot, and they will basically not die of starvation...it's just that the taste of chewing stones is a bit unpleasant.
Who would want to risk death in a fight if they could stay alive?
As for those powerful bandits... they simply quit their jobs, and after countries around the world began to expand their military forces, they went to the military to pursue their dreams of becoming powerful people who traveled across the universe.
There was no way in the past, but now that countries have relaxed identity checks, they also have to join the army even if thieves are assigned to the army. Now that there is a choice, who wants to be a bandit forever!
"...Let's go and take a look." After that, the group left the room and went to the mayor's residence.
Chapter 463: It is also a tradition on Earth for fellow villagers to cheat fellow villagers (Part )
Although his physical fitness is 72 times that of an ordinary person, he is no longer considered a strong person in today's Terra. When facing a battle with a coupled practitioner, he can only flee.
But at least they were moving very fast now and had the option of escaping, instead of hiding in the rubble, shivering and waiting for death to come.
Supersonic speed is still very fast. As long as you are not being hunted down, it is generally possible to survive in the aftermath of the battle between coupled strongmen.
In this world, due to the coupled battles between strong people, incidents such as mountains and rivers bursting and cities being destroyed happen from time to time, so no matter which country it is, everyone's nerves are very sensitive.
After the alarm sounded, the unique sound of breaking the sound barrier could be heard throughout Changquan Town.
On the one hand, Huijin and the others had just taken the potion, and their physical fitness had not been strengthened to the limit, so they could not reach supersonic speed. On the other hand, they were delayed because they had just said a few words.
When Miaro and the four members of the Rainbow Team arrived at the old mayor's house in the center of the town, it was already a little late.
The place was already crowded, and they were the last group to arrive.
When they arrived, everyone turned their heads to look at them. There was no kindness in those looks. Some were wary, some were rejecting. Even Miaro's face was useless this time.
Before the arrival of Team Rainbow, the town had been peaceful for a while. But when this group of outsiders came, this kind of thing suddenly happened in Changquan Town. It's hard not to think about something.
In the eyes of some people, even if the two men and two women from Team Rainbow were not the instigators, they at least had something to do with this matter.
"Ahem!" Seeing that everyone had arrived, the old mayor, who looked like a young man of sixteen or seventeen years old, cleared his throat habitually.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's continue our talk." The old mayor's words shifted everyone's attention away from the four members of Team Rainbow and back to the old mayor.
"We just talked about the reason for calling everyone together this time."
"In the outskirts of town, three families have disappeared, a total of twelve people, without a trace."
"Through an on-site investigation, we found that the meals in their home were all warm, and there were no signs that their belongings, clothes, etc. had been taken away. They probably did not leave on their own." The more he spoke, the more serious the old mayor's expression became.
"A thousand-mile dam can be destroyed by an ant hole. We must treat this matter with caution."
The world of Terra has never been a peaceful place. It wasn't in the past, it isn't now, and it obviously won't be in the foreseeable future.
Seeing the big picture from the small details and discovering the hidden dangers of crisis from the subtleties is a compulsory course for every Terra leader, even if he is just a mayor, he understands this.
If we don't take the matter seriously because it is a small matter, who knows what kind of disaster it will turn into in the future.
"Here, I propose to mobilize the entire town to search for the missing townspeople. Please raise your hands if you object." The mayor said seriously.
Although he is the mayor and the highest leader of Changquan Town, since he wants to mobilize all the townspeople to do something that may be dangerous, it is obviously not something he can decide with just a few words.
People after the coupling era are free, and it is rare that one cannot survive without the other.
I'm not happy living here with you anymore, so I'll just leave when I say so. The supersonic movement and the survivability of being able to survive even by eating dirt, the two combined together will cause a sharp drop in the deterrent power of rulers around the world. It was precisely because of this that the nobles of Ursus were so opposed to the popularization of the Holy Healing Potion in Ursus.
This eventually led to an armed coup by the Integration Movement, which was secretly supported by Dawn Corporation.
Here the old mayor used a little trick.
It is more effective to say "whoever supports should raise their hand" if you say "whoever opposes should raise their hand" instead of "whoever supports should raise their hand".
On many issues, whether supporting or opposing, the majority are silent bystanders rather than expressing their opinions clearly.
If everyone who supports raises their hand, the choice is given to the majority. Their first reaction will definitely be to wait and see. This kind of waiting and seeing is a tacit opposition. Perhaps there must be a strong enough leader before the majority will choose to agree one after another.
On the contrary, if anyone who opposes raises his hand, it means that the majority of people have voted in favor by default.
Those who raise their hands must state the reasons for their opposition and accept everyone's strange looks. Unless they have really good reasons, things will develop in the direction the old mayor wants.
This technique may seem simple, but in fact it is a brilliant method of using a heavy sword without a sharp edge and great ingenuity without being elaborate.
In Luo Cheng's previous life, many people, both ancient and modern, both at home and abroad, were using it, and the effect was extremely good. Not to mention those who lived far away, let's just talk about those who lived nearby.
In some places in the West, people originally didn't like to pay for medical insurance, but some experts used this trick. When filling out tax forms, there is an item. As long as you don't draw an X and clearly state it, it will be assumed that you want to pay for medical insurance, and when you pay taxes, the medical insurance money will be deducted.
In the past, you would put a √ on it to indicate that you wanted to make a connection.
A small change can bring huge wealth.
It's similar in the East. In theory, companies are supposed to pay overtime pay, but some companies also use this method. If you want to get overtime pay, you have to write an application yourself and ask three leaders to stamp it four times. The leaders will definitely stamp it for you, but many people don't want to go through this process a second time after completing it.
There are many people who don't even try to run, but simply give up in despair.
This also 'saves' the company a lot of financial expenditure.
Thanks to the old mayor's clever move, the situation developed in a direction similar to what he expected. The townspeople looked at each other, and in the end no one was willing to raise their hands, and the old mayor's proposal was passed unanimously.
After all, everyone still has to live in the same town. No one wants to be known as someone who does not help someone in need. If so, there is no point in staying in the town.
Unless no one saves, the law cannot hold everyone responsible.
If you don't want to raise your hand and vote against, then no one will be willing to be the first to do so.
After the proposal was passed unanimously, the mayor began to arrange the specific search and rescue work, including who was responsible for which direction and who was responsible for tracking down what traces. The old mayor arranged everything in an orderly manner.
But there were only a few people who were not assigned any tasks.
The sound of breaking the sound barrier was heard again. The old mayor who stayed where he was said to those who had not been assigned any tasks: "Miaro, you and your friends stay for a while. I have something to ask you."
Chapter 464: Scientists? Retreat!
In order to ensure that the Rainbow Team's application to stay in Changquan Town could be approved more smoothly, Miaro said that these four people were his friends.
...Actually this is not really a deception. In the process of getting along, they really felt that each other's personality was very compatible with their own, and both parties are now truly friends.
Mialuo had no objection to not being assigned any tasks, and neither did the members of the Rainbow Team. After all, nothing had happened in the town before he arrived, but this kind of thing happened within two days of his arrival, so it was normal to be suspected.
They chose to cooperate.
The old mayor did not start to question them right away, but first invited them into his home and asked the servants to serve them some hot tea.
He has been the mayor for his entire life and has seen too many ups and downs. On the one hand, this has cultivated his calm and skillful way of doing things, and on the other hand, it has also made him develop a mentality of remaining calm in the face of emergencies.
"Can you please tell me your true origins again?" The old mayor took a sip of hot tea.
Since the rise of Dawn Corporation and the popularization of coupling power and holy healing potions on Terra, population movement has become faster than ever before.
Even in Changquan Town, a "ravine" located at the junction of Sargon and Foehn, there are some foreign visitors from time to time, so the old mayor did not take the arrival of Rainbow Team seriously at first.
There is nothing noteworthy in Changquan Town. Even the only source stone mine is a small mine with not much reserves, which cannot attract real strong people.
The old mayor thought that the Rainbow Team was just one of the many passers-by in the town, just like those people before them, so he didn't pay much attention to it. He casually asked about the general situation and approved the permanent residence application for Miaro's sake.
The old mayor not only knows Mialuo well, but also values him.
In his eyes, if there is anyone in this small place of Changquan Town who has the potential to become a coupled strongman in the future, it must be Miaro, the child who has been persevering and working hard to prepare for practice, so the old mayor is willing to give him this face.
Now it seems that I was too careless at the time.
Should have asked more questions.
Faced with the old mayor's questioning, it was impossible for the Rainbow Team to say something as shocking as that they were aliens from Earth.
If he said it out loud, the old mayor would think that it was a good thing that everyone was playing tricks on him.
If the old mayor really believed it, it would be a huge trouble!
By then, it would be a good outcome for people like us to lie on the test bench and become precious specimens.
If the truly powerful people of Terra discovered some strange things from themselves and opened the passage from Terra to the Earth, then Ashes and his companions would truly become the eternal sinners of Blue Planet!
But lying directly would not work either, as it would only make the already dire situation of Team Rainbow in Changquan Town even more difficult.
Therefore, Huijin and the others could only say some of the "common lines" of time travelers.
Such as "the far west" and "the hometown I can't return to".
The old mayor could see that there might be some issues with the backgrounds of these people, but their words did not seem to be lies.
...Isn't it a hidden place whose exact location is inconvenient to reveal to outsiders?
The old mayor's thoughts also slid in the same direction as Miaro's.
This is also normal.
Because this kind of thing really exists on the land of Terra.
Moreover, the races of Ashes, Lightning, Chariot, and Frost are indeed the kind that they have never seen before, or even heard of.
It also fits the characteristics of secluded residents.
Not every race is willing to get involved in the mess on Terra, and it is not surprising that some people choose to stay away from the world.
Since Huijin and the others didn't want to talk about the issue of their origins and their attitude was very firm, the old mayor didn't ask any more questions. This was not the most critical issue.
The issue that the old mayor really cares about is another one, and the origin is just an introduction.
"So do you have any enemies?"
It is also common in Terra that outsiders are entangled in troubles, which then spread to others.
"Enemy?" Huijin and the others thought about it.
After joining the Rainbow Organization and being on the front line of international anti-terrorism for many years, naturally there are quite a lot of people who dislike them.
Even want to get rid of them as soon as possible.
Huijin and others not only have such enemies, but also many of them.
but……
"They are all in my hometown and can't come over." As the temporary leader of the team, Ashes took on the task of communicating with the old mayor.
"So..." The old mayor wanted to continue asking, but was suddenly interrupted by Ashes.
"...Wait!" Ashes suddenly thought of something.
Levi Klitschko!
This name suddenly popped into the minds of Huijin and others.
It was this person's dangerous experiment that led them all into this dangerous world!
Since they are here now, then... could Levi Klitschko be here too?!
In fact, the members of Team Rainbow had already had similar speculations.
When they first encountered Miao Luo, they asked Miao Luo to help look around to see if there were any signs of human activities other than themselves.
But found nothing.
