Chapter 153: Cruel Salvation
Reality is always skinny.
Zhou Xing found that he had underestimated the current Guo Zong's house.
After more than ten days of travel, he didn't show up in the room.
However, Li Yu used the reason of thanking him to fight with Yu Wushuang, as if he was the star Shuangshu of this temporary small social circle.
Zhou Xing used the experience of his previous life to look at people through the cracks, and said in his heart: "Women's friendship comes and goes like a tornado......"
Seeing that we were about to reach the ground, the bad news came.
The Venerable Master Chongguang gathered everyone together and said with a solemn expression: "The abyss has collapsed unexpectedly, and the East China Sea has been reduced to a demonic realm, and the danger is several times greater than before......
After Chongguang finished speaking, everyone understood that danger was not the point, the point was that even in this case, the Houtu Sect could not take the initiative to give up.
The main reason is that after the sudden arrival of the turbidity tide, the development of the netherworld system had to be stepped up, and the East China Sea is precisely the experimental field of internal determination.
In addition to creating a blessed land in the Cave Heaven, the monks of the Houtu Sect are also good at seeking treasures and wealth from the depths.
It is precisely because of this that its research and development in the direction of the Nine Netherworlds ranks first among the five.
It is closer to the results than he sent, which has become a reason to be more willing to invest.
This investment is relatively bloody.
The sect intends to test the law and run in hard, even if it is at the expense of several generations, it must quickly put the relevant technology into practice. In order to survive the turbidity and boiling and the aura is thin in the cold winter of Xuanmen.
So there is a special place, the Abyss.
The Abyss was originally a ruin species, discovered and used by monks.
The Hanhai Sect is good at water, so it uses the word 'yuan'.
The Houtu Sect is proficient in the Nine Lands Method, so it uses 'under the deep earth' as the starting point to play their tricks.
To put it bluntly, it is all forbidden research, and converting it into earth technology is like using the planet's magnetic field to generate electricity on a large scale, or extracting geothermal resources.
The turbidity tide suddenly came, and the abyss became more and more important, and even more difficult to hear, the collapse was even more important.
Because the extreme of turbidity and boiling is that the world is like the underworld. So the current environment of the East China Sea is equivalent to showing everyone in advance what the underworld looks like, love is to collect first-hand information, or to do experiments, it is quite appropriate.
Of course, there are outsiders like Zhou Xing in the team, and there are some things that are inconvenient for the Venerable Master to say clearly.
At this time, he emphasized more on the seriousness of the situation, as well as honor and responsibility.
He also said that the support force with Yuanying Zhenren as the main force is already on the way. He also pointed out that if the Hanhai Sect refuses to admit defeat directly, then the Houtu Tianjiao will have to be the pioneer, but safety must come first, and when Yuanying enters, there will be a guarantee.
Zhou Xing saw that the Venerable Master Chongguang had finished speaking, but he didn't say a word about how to save the mortals in the East China Sea region, and sighed in his heart:
"The world is as black as a crow, what am I hoping for? The Houtu Sect is more traditional, so it can be kind to mortals? Stop dreaming! ”
So when the Venerable Master Chongguang had finished speaking and asked everyone what they wanted to ask, he greeted, "All people in the world are the cornerstone of humanity, and minor cultivation is one step ahead." After that, without waiting for the Venerable Master to reply, the person turned into a virtual shadow and disappeared in public.
Guo Zong looked at Zhou Xing's dissipated figure and thought thoughtfully.
The rest also had their own reactions, some agreed, some disagreed, and even disdainful.
Master Chongguang's face was not very good-looking, and Zhou Xing had a hint of accusation, how could he not hear it? And Zhou Xing's behavior and attitude of only greeting and not obeying orders also made him a little dissatisfied.
But he still didn't have a seizure after all, so he asked the cultivators to get ready, and then drifted away.
The cultivators returned to their respective cabins, and Li Yu and Yu Wushuang went all the way, saying as they went:
"My brother-in-law is a righteous person. Growing up in a family of immortals, it is especially rare to be able to understand the sufferings of the mortal world. ”
Li Yu praised Zhou Xing, and even more than praising her, Yu Wushuang felt useful, and said: "Yufeng can indeed look at mortals in many cases. He also said, 'Ruthless may not be a true hero, how can a poor son not be a husband?' ' words. ”
Li Yu nodded and praised: "That's a good point, I understand more and more why you and your brother-in-law were able to handle things so properly in the original Heifengling incident." ”……
But he said that Zhou Xing, after leaving the ship, immediately cast the black iron boat, and used the meteor talisman to speed towards the hinterland of the East China Sea.
As a place for 'Tianjiao to win', Zhou Xing also has a certain understanding of the East China Sea, and knows that the most populous city on land is Shangdu, the capital of Qi State, with a population of more than 3 million people, and in this era, it is considered a first-class metropolis.
Protecting the big and giving up the small, rescuing along the way, this is the strategy he set.
The main reason why he was so excited about this was out of guilt.
He suspected that the collapse of the abyss was mostly caused by Xie Tianci's ghost to deal with him.
If he can't do his best to help, he will not be at ease.
From the perspective of visual senses, the collapse of the abyss is like the explosion of a super-large dirty bomb.
Of course, Zhou Xing had never seen what a real dirty bomb explosion looked like, and he just imagined the appearance of a nuclear explosion with nuclear radiation and nuclear contaminated dust as the main attack method.
The mushroom-like umbrella-like alostratostratus clouds, which send millions of tons of dust up the stratosphere, still retain their approximate shape and have not yet been blown away by the winds.
The shock wave of the explosion stretched across thousands of miles, and it was already hours ago.
The sky was gray and full of dust, but it was nothing compared to the black mushroom umbrella in the distance.
The air was filled with the smell of rancidity, like a mixture of the smell of soaked swill and the smell of earth, which was the smell of the place where the filth and dirt were hidden under the Nine Lands, although it had been diluted and diluted a thousand times.
As for the ground, the turbidity is eroding the surface by attacking from top to bottom.
In Zhou Xing's view, this can actually be regarded as the immortal version of nuclear wasteland.
The key word of nuclear wasteland lies in the concept of "waste".
The key word in front of us is 'distortion'.
After being eroded by turbidity, it is not that there is no grass, but that it mutates and mutates, and becomes a species that is very unfriendly to the creatures of the Yang world.
To be honest, Zhou Xing's mood was heavy.
It is the height of summer, and there are still about two months before the general autumn harvest in the East China Sea, and the grain crops have basically grown, and it is the time to set ears and bear fruits.
Just talking about saving people, without this wave of harvest, what will people eat?
After all, this is not 10,000 people, but millions, tens of millions.
Of course, the more critical and urgent the situation, the more necessary it is to grasp the key points and solve the problem in the same way, otherwise it is easy to fight the chickens and eggs, and nothing can be done in place, and finally it will collapse completely.
Zhou Xing is not a pure straight line, so after walking for a while, there is a town in front of it, the town name is Qingshi, there are hundreds of households, in this era, it is a big town, once thousands of households, it can be called 'city'.
Zhou Xing flew over the town and cast illusions, and the people were as radiant as the sun, illuminating the heavens and the earth for a few points.
At this time, there were eight special puppets appeared, facing all directions, and shouted in unison: "The turbidity tide is rising, the netherworld is suddenly coming, Yuan Miao manifests Pudu Tianzun to have mercy on the world, and the ark of misfortune helps all beings to get out of the catastrophe, and the virtuous people bring their belongings to the four magic circles to board the boat, and they will not wait for the obsolete time!" ”
This is really not that Zhou Xing likes to brag, but the lessons learned from the more than two years of demon eradication and disaster relief after the Shen Guo Spirit Vein incident.
If you don't say it in a mysterious way, if you don't do enough face engineering, if you want to make mortals believe it, it will take a lot of twists and turns.
And right now, the most conspicuous thing is time.
There are also special puppets that set up temporary teleportation circles on the four main roads outside the town, east, west, north and south, and the Ark of Doom was also released by Zhou Xing.
The boat is 300 zhang long, 150 zhang wide, and 100 zhang high, really like a rectangular box.
However, this 'box' gives people a sense of antiquity and mystery, as if the treasure ship of the flood should be like this, made of large wood, simple and extraordinary.
In fact, it is indeed a bit exquisite, it is Zhou Xing's deliberate kryptonite, obtained the moral Dao, and combined with the law of the flood and famine, although it is a monkey version, it can't cross the void or anything, but in this world, it can afford the name of 'crossing the misfortune', not blowing water.
In Bluestone Town, the townspeople have long been terrified by the vision of heaven and earth caused by the collapse of the abyss, not to mention that now, a few hours later, the evil and strange have also appeared.
Specifically, there are mutated insects, rats, livestock, and even people, who are ferocious and crazy, and they bite when they see people, and the yamen is in an emergency, the medicine store is in an emergency, and there is not enough langzhong, and people on the street are shouting and neighing, and there is chaos.
At this time, such a play was suddenly staged, and many people immediately felt that they had the backbone, and hurriedly opened up their families, simply packed up, and marched towards the nearest city gate.
To say that the mortals of this world are naturally not as good as the modern humans on the earth in terms of cultural literacy, but because it is an immortal world, there are extraordinary manifestations from time to time, as long as they can show strong enough, most people still listen to and even obey.
Especially in the face of extraordinary calamities, he is willing to fight.
Before the teleportation circle, a thunder barrier and a power grid channel had been set up.
To put it bluntly, it is a temporary electrification fence, after all, people in this era generally lack the concept of queuing, and it is easy to have various accidents when they rush up.
Zhou Xing can also be regarded as an old disaster relief worker, and has summed up a set of fairly mature rescue procedures.
One of the characteristics is that it is severe.
Facts have proven time and again that at such times, the efficiency of disaster relief is absolutely miserable if discipline is not emphasized with majesty.
"Take the household as a unit, line up in a row, take the passage, unruly, maliciously push, erase the qualifications for boarding, and if the circumstances are serious, the family will sit together!" ……
There are also special puppets that roar there over and over again.
One of the major characteristics of these puppets is that they are deliberately dressed up in drama, they are tall and tall, and they are dressed like heavenly generals, killing with a cold face, and they are not angry and arrogant.
There are also puppets dressed as immortal officials, who are responsible for the work of review, investigation, purification, and introduction.
Judging is to look at the merits of yin virtue, the light shines, the color spectrum is clear, and those who have lost their virtues to a certain extent are not qualified to get on the ship.
Check, mainly responsible for checking the items carried by the people on board, only allowed to bring a limited number of personal belongings, such as gold and silver, a change of clothes, some small snacks, and others are not allowed.
This is also a rule that has been formed after suffering a lot of losses in the past.
After all, refugees are inherently insecure, and if someone makes trouble, even if it is just a simple paper note, or a story or a rumor, it can make people restless and even cause a major accident.
Also, if you check this link, you can also find out those Jianghu people, Fangshi warlocks and the like, they are not allowed to live with ordinary people.
Purification, as the name suggests, purification, whether it is extraordinary contamination or ordinary diseases, can basically be done with one charm. There is a Fu Gong printing workshop in Zhouxing, which can basically afford it.
Of course, there are also those that require special treatment, and a special processing team has set up a tent on the side, which will not delay the passage of normal refugees.
It is also a very important link to arrange temporary accommodation.
The outer dimensions of the Ark are equivalent to at least three Lighthouse Nation enterprise-class aircraft carriers, and the internal space is fifty times the volume shown on the outside.
And Zhou Xing is a traverser who has the concept of space utilization of modern people on the earth.
In such a huge honeycomb cabin, it's normal to get lost.
Guidance becomes a must.
In addition, the guidance also includes some basic services, such as instructing people to defecate in a timely and convenient manner, and then placing them under semi-custodial, temporary house arrest.
Again, this is the result of lessons learned.
For the organizers, when there are many people, the most feared thing is 'tandem'.
Insecure people are also more likely to be incompetent, angry, and incited.
The other is the false sense of strength of the many people, and the luck psychology of not holding the people accountable.
Once it does break out, it's hard not to have a tragedy.
Therefore, it is necessary to guard against the slightest problem and strictly manage it, instead of talking about human rights and freedoms.
The content of disaster relief also includes the collection of supplies, and there is a special puppet team responsible for 'breaking through the empty door', collecting usable goods, clothing, food, and so on.
To say that this kind of behavior is also quite unsophisticated, there is a taste of scraping the land to make a fortune.
Yu Wushuang also discussed this with Zhou Xing. After all, it's good to say, Zhou Xing is not bad at this wealth, but others don't know it, and they may not believe it.
Zhou Xing said: "First of all, I have a clear conscience. Secondly, if there is a human merit there, and the world understands it or not, what is it? ”
The puppets are moving, and Zhou Xing is not just watching, he is guarding the overall situation.
He knew that since Xie Tianci was doing trouble, he would have eyes staring in the dark, and he would inevitably look for opportunities to make trouble.
As soon as you find a clue, you will act immediately.
Also, it had occurred to him early on that he showed that he cared too much about mortals, and most of them would be regarded as a weakness that Xie Tianci could exploit.
Therefore, in the process of disaster relief, he deliberately showed more utilitarianism, as if to say: I care more about humanitarian merit than people.
He hopes that through such a performance, he can deflect Xie Tianci's cognition to a certain extent, so that he can be less enthusiastic about harming others. This is equivalent to invisibly saving many lives.
Half an hour came, ignoring the cries and beggings of the mortals who had hesitated before, finally figured it out, brought their wives and children, and ran to arrive, the temporary teleportation circle was put away, and the ark was decisively gone.
Looking at the ark in the distance, one of Xie Changsheng's clones squatted on the canopy of the tree and sighed: "This week, it's quite a bit of a thunderous means, the meaning of the Bodhisattva's heart." ”
In fact, after Xie Tianci issued the order to collect Zhou Xing's intelligence, many of Zhou Xing's past actions have been understood, and they are used to profile the characters and analyze their character weaknesses.
Thank God for putting aside the characteristics of being shameless for evil, after all, he is a person who has done great things and has done a lot of great things, and he pays great attention to details and information verification.
This operation has a rather strong information verification character.
It is to see how Zhou Xing reacts.
Xie Changsheng's intelligence system is a network node-like pattern model, with clones covering the entire East China Sea region like signal relay towers. The speed of information transmission is naturally much faster than that of the ark traveling around.
Therefore, when Zhou Xing 'happened' to arrive in the second town again, he was greeted by a strange scene full of dead and wounded.
The same people were in the air, overlooking the town below, and this time Zhou Xing did not rush to let the puppets shout for disaster relief, but cast a spell to scan the details below.
When he found that most of the people below, especially the young man, were seriously injured and did not die, he realized that the competition had really begun. It's not with the Houtu Sect or the Tianjiao of the Hanhai Sect, but with Xie Tianci.
It's a race to kill and save.
As a rescuer, he has to make some difficult choices.
"Kill!"
With his command, the Ark of Doom opened fire, and thousands of finger-thick rays of light shot out from the bottom of the ark, killing all the seriously wounded in the city below, including those in the houses.
"Degrees!"
Another wave of shooting, but it was a transcendent paper rune. After the hit, the humanoid light on the deceased's body rose, and then dissipated into a shattered light.
"Search!"
The puppets flew out one after another, with a clear goal, and brought back those who were still worth saving back to the ark in a near-kidnapping way.
"Wash!"
It's still in group mode, and it's a sweeping sweep of the materials available in the city.
A little more than a quarter of an hour later, the Ark left the dead town, where there were less than 100 people alive, and slowly disappeared into obscurity.
Another Xie Changsheng clone, watching the ark that was fading away, passed on the latest information.
At the third stop, Zhou Xing chose to jump left and right, instead of moving in a roughly straight line before.
Obviously, while Xie Tianci was analyzing him and serving the dishes in a targeted manner, he was also trying to do the same.
It turns out that the combat power in the hands of Xie Tianci is not rich enough to stare all densely populated cities and towns to death.
The third stop of salvation was as successful as the first stop.
According to Zhou Xing's analysis, Xie Tianci's minions are likely to use regional maneuvering.
Each team, in charge of an area, once they receive the message, immediately rush to their destination to destroy and kill, and fight the time difference.
Zhou Xing did guess correctly.
In addition, Zhou Xing's ruthless approach has also received some feedback.
For example, when the ark arrived at the fifth city, it was met with a large number of moderately injured mortals.
Obviously, thank God is also constantly testing and making adjustments.
Thank God for taking the mortals in the East China Sea region for two main purposes:
First, let Zhou Xing show his means as much as possible, so as to 'know the other'.
Second, drag Zhou Xing as much as possible, let him consume, and bleed slowly.
Then, in response to this second article, since Zhou Xing did not buy the seriously wounded and killed all of them to earn excessive humanitarian merits, it means that the purpose of 'dragging' that can be achieved is very limited.
So this time I changed to a moderate injury characterized by poisoning.
Serious injuries and killings can barely be understood as helping them to get free, and the evil of killing is mainly borne by the perpetrators. But for slander, the killer has to bear some responsibility.
In this case like Zhou Xing, the puppet has no intention and serves his orders, and the cause and effect will fall on him. This is not to rely on excess to level the top of the account.
In addition, there is another important test, which is that 'the great city will be saved'.
Thank God for the subtext: Aren't you playing stealth, playing sideways jumping, so that I can't lock your position accurately and in time?
I'll start with an area to predict, and then I'll pick a big city in this area and slaughter it to see if you're there.
When you arrive, it means that you will not let go of this kind of populous land, and if you don't, it's another story.
In short, it is easier to destroy than to create or to save, not to mention that God is well prepared and has taken the lead. Zhou Xing, as a challenger, was very passive and was played around.
Zhou Xing naturally understands this, and he is indeed upset about this.
But he still thinks more from the perspective of 'disaster relief', rather than saying that I was treated as a monkey by others, so embarrassed......
I don't care about the face, I don't care about the so-called winning or losing, I don't compare, I don't complain, I don't complain, I only ask how much I have saved, I only ask if I try my best, and I have a clear conscience.
Of course, it's not his character to only be beaten and not fight back.
He first spent 10,000 yuan to buy a Tianyan treasure urn.
It cost another 200,000 yuan to buy a soul silence talisman.
Seek the enemy, punish the soul.
He wants to kill Xie Changsheng, and he wants to let this person, in the past and future, be wiped out in diversity, and never be reborn!
