1190, I have never seen the world

The wide sewers were dark, and the deep holes seemed to suck all the light away.

It's no wonder that Mei Ge is afraid, even a person like Qian Weining, who has been through a lot of battles, wants to go in, he has to do a good job of psychological construction in advance and take a deep breath for a long time.

Chen Jingshu was calm, that was because she knew where this sewer leads.

Ren Xiaosu realized that I was afraid that the entire Bounty Hunter Organization already had a pivotal position in the underground world of Ghent City, and they were very familiar with this place.

He looked at the sewer exit and asked curiously, "Wait a minute, this is a sewer built with modern technology, although it is very dilapidated, but the problem is that there is no such technology in the wizarding country." ”

The concrete on the wall of the sewer hole has been so badly corroded that even the steel bars inside are exposed.

This was the first time Ren Xiaosu had seen a reinforced concrete structure in the wizarding realm, just as novel as when he saw the ruins of human civilization in the mountains.

Therefore, the entire Ghent City was built on the basis of a pre-cataclysmic human city, which made Ren Xiaosu a little unexpected.

Moreover, he was even more surprised that the sewer could be preserved for so long.

Theoretically, reinforced concrete has a high service life and no upper limit.

But in reality, as long as these buildings are exposed to the air, they will naturally be affected by oxidation, weathering, rain and snow, and if the internal steel bars of the concrete decay, they will be damaged faster.

Therefore, the construction process of this sewer must have been very high before the catastrophe, otherwise it would not have lasted 200 years at all.

Chen Jingshu looked at Ren Xiaosu: "Is this kind of construction process in Middle Earth?"

"Basically, it's all in the barriers," Ren Xiaosu nodded: "At least it's more practical than brick and stone buildings." ”

Chen Jingshu said: "Actually, when the catastrophe came, most of the people in the wizarding kingdom lived in this underground city, and everyone turned the original bomb shelter into a new home, and survived in it. ”

The people around listened quietly, even Qian Weining had heard of these things for the first time, these were all past events that the wizarding organization didn't want to mention anymore.

Chen Jingshu continued: "Later, after the catastrophe passed, the wizards took everyone back to the surface to rebuild their surface home, and they got along quite well at first, but when Russell died, the wizarding organization began to intensify the exploitation of ordinary people, so there were differences in the human group after the catastrophe. ”

When everyone was underground, everyone united to fight against the brutal cataclysm, and although there was injustice at that time, there was Russell and the new wizard forces around him, at least it was okay.

Because Russell himself was very charismatic, everyone was willing to regard him as a leader and trust him in his fairness in handling things.

At that time, Russell even set up a temporary post-disaster committee underground and set up a temporary underground court, even if wizards broke the law and oppressed ordinary people, they would also be punished.

What's more, if a wizard breaks the law, he will have his True Eye confiscated.

A wizard without the Eye of True Sight is just like an ordinary person.

At that time, the old nobles of various wizards also wanted to fight against Russell, but they couldn't beat Russell before the cataclysm, let alone after the cataclysm.

These old nobles can't even support themselves, so they can't raise so many sons, and the blood and witchcraft have no soil for existence, so they can only be hung up and beaten by Russell.

Therefore, the reason why everyone wants to kill Russell so much after everyone returns to the surface is actually to know that as long as Russell is still there, the old wizard aristocracy will never turn over.

At that time, Russell had already begun to plan the wizarding school, and if he broke the class barrier between wizards and ordinary people, the blood system of wizarding nobles would naturally be dismantled.

In order not to surrender their monopoly on witchcraft and to ensure the continuation of the bloodline, the nobles rebelled against Russell's servant Voss and poisoned Russell.

As soon as Russell died, the new power of wizards naturally dissipated, and most of those who remained died in the encirclement and suppression of the old aristocracy.

When the system of exploitation was re-established, some people could not bear to be oppressed, and they had a huge disagreement with the old nobility of wizards.

In order not to be killed, they returned to the underworld and continued to survive in the dark world.

The people of the Templar Organization also returned to the underground with everyone that time.

Chen Jingshu looked at Ren Xiaosu and said: "The days of hiding underground are hard, the old nobles of the wizard came down many times at the beginning to encircle and suppress, everyone has to avoid their pursuit, fortunately, this underground world is large enough, and it is not easy for them to find our traces." Later, everyone found out that in fact, it was okay to live underground, and slowly the materials were also enriched, and the surface and underground became two completely independent operating systems. ”

"Then why did you suddenly come out again now, I think you should have made a big move, right?" Ren Xiaosu said curiously: "What made you take the risk of coming out, even if you lose your life." ”

"Because the underground buildings are close to decay," Chen Jingshu said, "according to estimates, if it lasts for another 20 years at most, I am afraid that it will collapse." We didn't have the means to build fortifications, so we had to return to the surface. ”

"Ao, so before returning to the surface, you have to settle the affairs of the wizard's old nobles first, otherwise you will die if you come to the surface," Ren Xiaosu nodded and said, "But you guys are too late, and the surface wizard has already become a climate." ”

"You have to look for a glimmer of life," Chen Jingshu sighed: "We all know that this is difficult, but how can we know where the vitality is if we don't fight for it." ”

"Now you've found it," Ren Xiaosu said with a smile.

Chen Jingshu said calmly: "You mean to say that you are this line of life, right?" ”

"They will all rush to answer, there will be progress," Ren Xiaosu said: "Without external forces, even if you develop for another two hundred years, you can't defeat these wizards, and you can't do such a big thing just by relying on those flamboyant wizard families, so you can only rely on external forces." ”

Chen An'an on the side said stubbornly: "We are also very powerful." ”

"It's a pity that you don't have rich experience in struggle, and it's unrealistic to always hope for the internal transformation of the wizard aristocracy, how can these vested interests really help you?" Ren Xiaosu said: "So, you need to let those exploited proletarian comrades stand up...... Forget it, let's talk about it. ”

Chen Jingshu was stunned when she heard this: "Then why do you say that you are this line of life, I don't think you have any experience in fighting, and you are not familiar with life here, who are you going to unite? Besides, I know that you will not stay in the wizarding country for too long, you don't have the time and energy to do these things." ”

Ren Xiaosu smiled: "What Russell did at the beginning, I have to do it now." ”

The so-called Russell's approach, of course, is to hang the old nobles up and beat them up first, and then maintain a high degree of consensus with everyone.

However, Ren Xiaosu is more ruthless than Russell, although he is not good at fighting, he is good at killing.

Russell doesn't kill because he himself is a member of the wizarding community, but Ren Xiaosu is not, he has no mercy for wizards from the beginning, and there is only a sea of blood feud between them.

Qian Weining and the others listened to the conversation between the two on the side, and then became more and more silent.

Just yesterday, Qian Weining thought that Ren Xiaosu just wanted to kill the wizard, but now he understands that the other party is actually going to challenge the entire wizard realm.

These two things seem to have a similar process, but the results are very different and the difficulty is very different.

Ren Xiaosu turned back to Qian Weining and the others and smiled: "Don't be afraid, even if you fail, you can go to Middle-earth with me, this is the way I left you to retreat." ”

"The master doesn't have to worry too much, as long as the master doesn't turn his back on us, we will naturally follow us to the death," Qian Weining hurriedly expressed his loyalty.

At this time, Chen Jingshu went to the side to cut down the branches, and then asked An An to take the oilcloth and wrap it on the branches and light it.

Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment: "What is this for?"

"Light the torch," Chen Jingshu said, "and be sure to follow me after entering the hole, in case you take the torch and go the wrong way, you will either enter some death zone and be poisoned, or you will suddenly cause an explosion and kill yourself." ”

"Death Zone?" Ren Xiaosu said in a daze: "Is there still a mechanism in this sewer, who set it up?"

Chen Jingshu said: "It may have been set up by the people who built this underground city, the explosion always came very suddenly, and I don't know why." ”

Ren Xiaosu couldn't cry or laugh: "What kind of mechanism is this, it's clear that your torch ignited the methane gas accumulated in the ground, and then caused an explosion." ”

This huge dungeon must have been designed with ventilation in mind, but after such a long time, the ventilation facilities have been destroyed, and some places inside have collapsed, which will definitely cause the problem of methane accumulation.

So this thing isn't a deliberate mechanism at all......

Ren Xiaosu said: "Okay, don't light the torch." ”

He took out more than a dozen strong flashlights from the palace and sent them out, and then took out a tritium lamp himself as a lighting device, which he said was still stolen from the Qing clan earlier.

Chen Jingshu, Qian Weining and others held flashlights with a confused expression: "What is this?"

"Press the switch," Ren Xiaosu demonstrated for them, only to see a beam of light shining into the sewer, which actually illuminated a distance of dozens of meters at once, and the entire sewer was as bright as day.

Chen Jingshu was immediately shocked: "What is this?!"

At this moment, Ren Xiaosu suddenly had the illusion that a high-level civilization was crushing a low-level civilization......

He patiently explained: "This is technology, a device that uses electricity as an energy source to provide lighting effects, and if a flashlight is only turned on the lowest gear, it should be able to have dozens of hours of lighting time." ”

Qian Weining looked at the flashlight in his hand, as if he had picked up a treasure: "Master, such a precious thing, you actually handed it over to us to use?"

Ren Xiaosu couldn't help laughing: "What kind of precious item is this, this is the standard configuration of combat troops in Middle-earth! You really don't know much about Middle-earth, and under the control of the wizarding organization, you don't know much about technology." ”

"Is Middle-earth so magical?" Qian Weining sighed, he actually had an urge to go to Middle-earth at this moment.

Ren Xiaosu said with a smile: "A strong flashlight can surprise you, then how surprised you are when you look at things like cameras, running water, and televisions, rest assured, even if you need to stay in the northwest branch of Daxing in the future, you can often go to Middle-earth to shop." ”

The Wizarding Realm is only a thousand kilometers away from Fortress 178, which is not so far away in front of modern transportation, and if you drive the steam train at full speed, it will take you ten hours.

At this time, Chen Jingshu looked at the tritium lamp in Ren Xiaosu's hand: "Then what is this in your hand?"

"It's called a tritium lamp," Ren said, "and it uses radioactive materials as a lighting energy source, and it can last for 20 years, or even longer, without damage." ”

"Wow!20 years?!" all the people around exclaimed.

For a moment, Ren Xiaosu felt as if she was facing a group of curious babies.

He silently glanced at the group of curious babies, and then took out a military telescope and handed it to Qian Weining: "Come, try, this thing can make you see far away." ”

"Wow! so clear!" Qian Weining exclaimed, "What is this thing that is so magical?!"

Chen Jingshu took the telescope over, and then found that she could even see the details hundreds of meters away through this strange tool!

"Is this Middle-earth's technology?" muttered Chen Jingshu.

Everyone passed the telescope to play, and then one by one let out an exclamation from the heart.

"I just like the way you look like you've never seen the world," Ren Xiaosu said with a smile.

These words made Chen Jingshu and the others a little uncomfortable, but they didn't know how to refute it......

Ren Xiaosu glanced at them, then took out a pistol with a silencer and fired a shot at the sparrow flying in the sky.

I saw that the sparrow was beaten and its feathers scattered and fell straight to the ground.

"Wow, that's amazing?" the people around them exclaimed again.

Ren Xiaosu asked Qian Weining to pick up the sparrow back: "Look at the wound of this sparrow." ”

Qian Weining checked it and found that the sparrow's body had been pierced, and the flesh and blood were blurred.

He exclaimed, "Master, is this the weapon of Middle-earth?"

Qian Weining is 31 years old, so he did not participate in the war 17 years ago, but he still heard of Middle-earth weapons.

But at that time, he was a little skeptical when he heard others describe firearms, and it was only at this moment that he realized how ruthless this thing was.

"It's on the edge of Ghent, so I can't show you the power of other weapons, and the pistol is just the least powerful," Ren explained, "It is characterized by its accuracy is much higher than that of bows and arrows, and its power is much higher than that of bows and arrows, and it is extremely fast and almost impossible to dodge." ”

Chen Jingshu said: "This thing is much more powerful than the Hidden Arrow." ”

For example, people like Chen Jingshu and Qian Weining can understand the gap between guns and bows and arrows in an instant, while Mei Ge, Li Chengguo, and Liu Ting can only stay at the stage of "It's amazing!", "Wow!", "!", they know that this thing is powerful, but they don't know how powerful it is......

Ren Xiaosu stuffed the pistol into Qian Weining's hand: "I have the opportunity to take you to practice marksmanship in the past few days, and when you are familiar with it, I will equip each of you with one, and then one person will have 100 rounds of ammunition." ”

Qian Weining was immediately moved: "Master, can you give this thing to us too, you are so generous!"

"Ahem, you have all sworn allegiance, of course I can't hide my secrets," Ren Xiaosu said.

Chen Jingshu hesitated: "Can you sell me one, I can pay for it, is a hundred gold coins enough?"

To be honest, at this moment, Ren Xiaosu really wants to make an arms deal with the wizard country, and a mediocre pistol can be exchanged for a hundred gold coins here?

However, Ren Xiaosu did not accept the deal in the end, but directly gave Chen Jingshu one, he stuffed the pistol into the other party's hand and said: "I can give it away for free, but before I teach you to shoot, you don't use it first, it's easy to have an accident." Also, it's important to remember that this thing is extremely dangerous, and the muzzle of the gun should never be pointed at one's own people. ”

The reason why Ren Xiaosu suddenly thought of issuing guns to these people was that he suddenly felt that he might have taken some detours before.

What he had thought about before was to set up the first wizard knight regiment, this kind of spell battery regiment with extremely strong combat effectiveness was just like a bomber, it was strong to think about, and it didn't cost money or waste arms.

But then Ren Xiaosu was thinking, anyway, pistols and automatic rifles are not worth a few dollars, and bullets are not worth a few dollars, so why don't you arm these people into modern troops before they become wizards?

Isn't it possible to hang up and fight cavalry with an automatic rifle and a heavy machine gun? If a favorable terrain is found, it would be no problem for more than 100 people to hang and fight thousands of cavalry, right?

Moreover, on the way north, Qian Weining also showed a unique skill: dense distance measurement method!

This thing sounds mysterious, but it's actually a thumbs up as a close reference to measure the enemy's distance.

In other words, Qian Weining is simply a natural artillery billet...... With a little training, you can run around with a long-range mortar, although it is a physical blow, but it is not much different from witchcraft, right, and this is much more ruthless than those little wizards......

Even Ren Xiaosu didn't dare to say that he could ignore the artillery fire now, at most he just dodged the ballistics, and if he really had a cannonball hit him, he would have to die.

Something that even Ren Xiaosu is afraid of, let alone wizards.

Therefore, before the establishment of the Wizard Knights, it is better to set up the first modern army in the wizarding kingdom, and he has the arms anyway......

"Let's go, let's go first," Ren Xiaosu said.

Chen Jingshu held a strong flashlight to lead the way in front, and everyone's footsteps made a rattling sound on the sewage, and the sound echoed in the pipe, which sounded particularly abrupt.

Ren Xiaosu looked at the sewer wall, and saw some strange graffiti, both in Chinese and wizard language, and those words were colorful, like a special spiritual symbol.

He can't read wizard language, but he can read Chinese.

On the walls were the words "freedom" and "resistance", accompanied by flamboyant and strange patterns.

Ren Xiaosu asked, "Who wrote this?"

"Of course, it's the underground residents," Chen Jingshu said, "It's just a casual cathartic graffiti, and I heard that everyone liked to graffiti on the wall before the catastrophe." ”

"I heard before that the Norman family killed all the people underground in order to find Donnelly?" Ren Xiaosu asked.

"Almost," Chen Jingshu said in a calm tone, "I guess I killed a small half, but after more than a hundred years, they are no longer familiar with the underground situation, so the newly found hiding place has not been discovered by them." It was that incident that made us decide to go to the surface and no longer be slaughtered. ”

Ren Xiaosu used tritium lamps to illuminate the walls on both sides, and suddenly felt that those graffiti still had a strange chaotic beauty.

Further on, the scene suddenly opened up a little brighter, and a wider underground world appeared in front of everyone's eyes: huge floodways that could drive tanks, staggered steps, and unshaped steel overhead.

The rot on the steel was piling up very thick, and Ren Xiaosu suspected that those things would shatter to the end at the slightest touch.

Chen Jingshu followed his gaze, and then explained: "Those things above your head are probably pipes before the catastrophic change, and no one has touched them for a long time. ”

Ren Xiaosu sighed in amazement, this place is like an abandoned underground factory, full of tough mystery.

There are also the colorful graffiti that can be seen everywhere, and more often than not, they have become portraits, such as angels with withered wings, such as the back of a person, such as a crow and a tiger.

There is no clear pattern here, as if someone is drawing something on it.

Chen Jingshu said: "In fact, these patterns are hidden mysteries, which contain some directions for routes, as long as a few underground people can understand them, these people are underground leaders." ”

"So you can understand, you are also one of the leaders?" Ren Xiaosu said curiously.

"I'm not, but Chen An'an and Chen Cheng's father is," Chen explained.

Ren Xiaosu wondered at this time, if the underground people really wanted to resist the spirit, would their weapons be enough to arm a rebel army.

Chen Jingshu had never seen modern weapons, so they felt that there had to be enough wizards to overthrow wizards, after all, ordinary people couldn't fight wizards.

But Ren Xiaosu felt that this matter didn't seem to be so complicated......

Modern thermal weapons are enough to slaughter gods, let alone a group of false gods?

Ren Xiaosu touched the paint on the wall: "This is not ordinary paint, but mineral grinding, right? Only in this way can they maintain such a bright color underground." ”

Unlike ordinary pigments, which cannot be stored for a long time, especially when exposed to foul air, mineral pigments have a much longer decay period than ordinary pigments.

Hearing Ren Xiaosu's question, Chen Jingshu's face immediately changed, and she chose to avoid this question.

Ren Xiaosu continued: "So on the basis of the original underground world, you continue to dig more space to find these colorful minerals, otherwise this kind of thing would not appear in the original sewers." The reason why the Normans have not been able to encircle you is also because they don't know that you have dug up other spaces, such as the second, third, and fourth floors underground. ”

Chen Jingshu frowned: "I underestimate you a little." ”

"Don't be so surprised," Ren Xiaosu said with a smile, "When my companions come here, they will refresh your cognition more." ”

Then, after they had gone a few hundred meters further, a voice suddenly came from ahead: "Who?

"On Monday, the gods fell," Chen Jingshu replied with a code.

Qian Weining, who was behind Ren Xiaosu, took a few steps forward, standing in front of the new owner and guarding carefully, he swept the beam of the flashlight away, and a young man with tattoos on his face suddenly appeared.

Chen Jingshu explained to Ren Xiaosu: "The people with tattoos on their faces are people who can no longer integrate into the surface city, they are the guardians of the entire underground world. ”

Ren Xiaosu suddenly felt that the underground world of Ghent City was more like a product of the wasteland era than anywhere he had seen before.
