"I'm honest with your grandmother." Qin Liang was completely furious.
He likes to pretend to be stupid, and Yan Chen sometimes wants to tear his face when he sees his smirk. As soon as the others in the training camp saw Qin Liang's smirk, they all subconsciously tensed their bodies. Because the more harmless the smile on Qin Liang's face, the more careful he must be, otherwise he won't even know how he died.
Qin Liang also likes others to treat him as a fool, because in this way, the other party will lower his vigilance or even ignore him directly. But he likes to pretend to be stupid, but Qin Liang is not a fool. I don't want to be seen as a fool by a group of guys who can't turn their brains around.
Therefore, Qin Liang's body rushed forward, and in the eyes of the adventurer who stood up with a sneer on his face and was ready to teach Qin Liang a lesson. With a kick on the opponent's abdomen, the adventurer who originally wanted to bear Qin Liang's kick calmly, but then Qin Liang was stunned and interrupted one of his legs, his face instantly turned purple, and his body flew out upside down like a cannonball.
"Rub, Lao Tzu doesn't threaten you, you really treat me as a sick cat." Qin Liang roared indignantly.
This is the first time he has pretended to be stupid so successfully, but he has not the slightest sense of accomplishment, but is extremely depressed. He really didn't know how to evaluate the IQ of these people in front of him, obviously they were all ruthless adventurers hovering on the edge of life and death. But at this time, the brain made him crazy.
"Look at what, hand over everything on your body and fuck off." Qin Liang shouted at the two adventurers who were looking at him in a daze.
The adventurer who was kicked away by Qin Liang fainted directly after breaking a big tree, and the ribs on his body were not known how many were broken, but it was not life-threatening. Although the training in the training camp allowed Qin Liang to face life and death indifferently, he was not a person who loved to kill.
Therefore, Qin Liang didn't have much killing intent for these adventurers. However, the trading currency here seems to be very different from the outside world, and it actually uses ancient gold coins. Qin Liang doesn't have a big son in his body now. Therefore, the interest in the money and wealth of these adventurers is naturally greater than their small lives.
"You ......" Feeling the killing intent emanating from Qin Liang's body, it was like a human suddenly tearing off his clothes and turning into a murderous werewolf, the two adventurers were a little stunned and couldn't react for a while.
"You, your grandmother." Qin Liang stepped forward directly and kicked the two of them one by one, knocking them out. Then, like a hyena, he quickly swept all around, even the boots of a few dead adventurers were scavenged.
If it weren't for the limited space in the backpack behind Qin Liang, Qin Liang would even have the urge to take all the clothes of these people back to see if they could be worth a few big men. The short man looked at the battlefield in front of him that was cleaned and cleaner than a dog licked, and stood there in a daze without knowing what to say for a while.
"What are you stunned about, it's time to go, otherwise you'll be made dumplings. Lao Tzu doesn't want to consume too much here, where is the nearby town to take me over. Satisfied, he put the last silver coin in his pocket, and looked around with some unsatisfied satisfaction. One last look at the discarded weapons on the ground, he shook his head with some pity.
Since coming to this world, Qin Liang has become a little bit of a money fan, in fact, he can't be blamed for this. After all, there is not a single undead mountain range in this world for him to take and need, so it is natural to ask for money everywhere.
Along the way, Qin Liang asked the dwarf a lot of questions, and the first thing he asked was naturally what these adventurers were looking for here. Also, if he knows where the army of the Dark Race is stationed on the other side of the mire.
The latter is naturally unaware, because he has been active in this area for a while and has not been in the mire. As for the former, the dwarf also doesn't know very well, only that someone spends a lot of money on the adventurer's side to put a bounty on the side to find something. What is not said.
The content of the bounty is to stipulate that in this area, look for clues to suspicious things. If you find any clues, you can report them immediately and you can get a bounty. It's just that you don't have to fight with the demon beast to report the clues, although this errand is a bit strange, but the bounty is not low and there is not much danger, these adventurers are naturally happy to go.
"No features at all?" Qin Liang couldn't help frowning, the fanfare on the dark race's side was most likely related to the spider-man team he encountered. But what exactly is because Qin Liang can't guess.
And here they are so excited that they are looking for things, which makes Qin Liang very puzzled and can't figure it out.
"Nope. Just say that any anomalies are reported if they are found. The dwarf shook his head.
"Moving in this direction, what's in the middle of the Dark Swamp?" Qin Liang hesitated for a moment, pointed to the direction he was going and asked.
"A human army and the largest human city on this side of the Dark Swamp. If you want to go back to it, you'll need to get to that city and buy a ticket to go back. It was also the only place where the airship returned to the rear exit. ”
"Return to the top, ferry ticket, airship, exit ......" Qin Liang chewed on some key words in the dwarf's words, and the doubtful gaze in his eyes was constantly flickering, obviously the environment here was still a little different from what he imagined, and he knew that he could go out from here after completing this hunt. But I didn't expect to go out in a completely unexpected way.
"How big is this swamp?" Qin Liang temporarily put aside the doubts in his heart and asked.
"The Dark Swamp stretches for about three thousand miles, and is at the forefront of the battle between humans and the dark race." The elf said.
"Dark Swamp?" Qin Liang raised his eyebrows, but the light under his eyes flickered violently, because this name was too familiar, and there was also a dark swamp in the gods and demons game that was a paradise for adventurers. So a dark swamp suddenly appeared here, which made Qin Liang's heart beat wildly, and he suddenly thought of a possibility.
"Yes, Dark Swamp." The short man looked at Qin Liang suspiciously, he still thought in his heart that Qin Liang was the young master who came to find excitement. And since he was able to come here, he should have some understanding of this world, and Qin Liang seemed to be a little unfamiliar with this world.
"I just knew there was an adventure here, so I ran over and looked, and I didn't know what else was going on. Tell me about the world. Qin Liang saw the confusion in the dwarf's eyes and explained. Although this explanation is a bit lame, the dwarf who has already doubted it certainly does not believe it.
However, Qin Liang didn't intend to make the dwarf believe his words, he just needed to know what kind of place this world was. And the dwarf, who was a prisoner, had to answer his question whether he wanted it or not. So let's explain that lame is lame.
As a prisoner under the ranks, he naturally did not have the right to make his own choice, so even if he had doubts in his heart, he could only hold back the doubts in his heart and talk to Qin Liang about the world in front of him.
This is the edge of the Dark Continent, and there were too many strange passages on Earth during the Great War. Some of these passages are for the dark races and monsters to keep running into the earth, and there are also passages that lead to other places. And this is the area where one of the passages leads. It is also an entry point for the Terrans to invade the Dark Race.
This is a lower continent, because this is where the dark race lives, and in the human impression, the dark race comes from the abyss. Therefore, this continent is naturally called the lower continent.
This was originally the place of the Dark Race. After the humans entered here through that passage, after hard fighting, they finally occupied a place and occupied a bridgehead position for the human race to fight back against the dark race.
However, after occupying this place for nearly a hundred years, the human race has only firmly established itself, and has always stopped on the side of the dark swamp and cannot continue to move forward. The Dark Swamp is to the east, and its location is not the center of the continent.
As a result, humans currently occupy less than one-fifth of the continent, and the dark race still holds the vast majority of the continent. At the same time, human beings only have the exit from this world back to the upper continent, and as for the entrance to the abyss of this world, it is still unknown where it is.
At the same time, this continent is also known as the Forsaken Land. Because when the bridgehead was established here, it was equivalent to stealing meat from the mouth of the dark race and eating the casualty rate was very high. And after grabbing the territory, it is natural to need humans to live here, so that it can also provide better supplies for the army.
And citizens from normal families naturally do not choose to run to this ghost place to live, because even wanting to bask in the sun every day is a luxury here. It's a miracle to see the sun two or three days a week, so no citizens want to move here at all.
Therefore, after repeated consultations, the human race put batches of prisoners here. Prisoners can be freed if they want to come here. And the garrison here will provide some materials and a minimum living guarantee, so that they can build a city here.
As a result, more and more prisoners chose this place, and it was like a place of exile. Therefore, it is slowly being called an abandoned place by those who know about the existence of this place. The Forsaken Lands is undoubtedly a land of chaos, where not only are humans and dark races fighting all the time.
Naturally, these prisoners who settled here were not good men and women. In addition, after entering here, the military encourages childbearing. As long as you have children, you will have money. At the same time, the prisoners who were exiled were well represented by men and women, so the prisoners here had offspring at a particularly rapid rate.
In less than a hundred years, there have been several million-strong cities here, and the fathers and mothers of these children are prisoners. Some of the children who have been educated are outstanding and can become pillars, and more than ninety percent of them are not honest people.
But thankfully, these people don't do their duty, but they at least insist on the bottom line that they are a person. Hence the upper echelons of the upper continent. The descendants of these prisoners continued to recruit soldiers, forming several large armies of considerable size, and the human race here was indeed completely stabilized.
At the same time, the upper continent continued to send some human continents down to serve as some middle-level and upper-level officers, and he was even more of a king sitting here. Coupled with the upper echelons of society, from time to time in the form of rewards. Transferred some of the army's native officers to the upper continents.
Therefore, although these armies are composed of the descendants of prisoners, the control of these armies by the upper echelons is still very good, otherwise there will really be a kind of aftermath that cannot be lost.
But although the control of the military is still in the hands of the military, only a small part of the people in this world have a sense of identity with the upper class. Because several generations have been bred in a hundred years, and the first generation of prisoners who came here are basically dead.
Their descendants all grew up on this land, and the Upper Continent was just a place of legend for most of them. Coupled with the lack of supplies here, the trade is in its primitive stage.
Rich people send their children directly to the upper class, while people without money type not one. Therefore, human soldiering here is more like a mercenary method. In other words, he was rushing for money and applying for military merit to return to the upper continent to enjoy happiness.
As for national righteousness. Fighting for humanity, for the survival of future generations, these are for them. However, because of the continuous battles with the dark race for a hundred years, these people more or less have close people such as relatives, friends, comrades-in-arms, etc., who have died at the hands of the dark race.
Therefore, although they have no sense of identity with the upper continent, sometimes some people will even secretly trade some contraband with the dark race for profit. But on the whole, these people still regard the dark race as an enemy, which is why the upper echelons are relieved to station such a complex army here.
And such a world. It's still a secret among ordinary people in the Upper Continent, unless some families can't survive in the Upper Continent. There will be special government officials who will come into contact with them, and then these family reasons will be immigrated here.
It is indeed a bit overwhelming for a planet to carry billions of people, even if the great war of the year caused human losses and nearly one-third of deaths, but the remaining human numbers are still terrifying for the earth.
In addition, after the establishment of the safe base, human beings have a safe living environment, and the government encourages childbearing. Humans reproduce at an inhibiting rate. However, the government has not re-implemented the basic national policy of family planning.
Because this era needs people so much, if you can cram hundreds of millions of people into this side of the forsaken land. That and humanity will occupy the absolute initiative. It can even drive the dark race away from the land and control the entrance to the abyss.
Therefore, in the past, there were too many human beings who overwhelmed the earth, but now there are too many places that need to be filled by human beings. Because as long as there is continuous advancement, continuous immigration, the place occupied is considered human territory. Otherwise, everything will return to business as usual after the army leaves, and the battle will be in vain.
After constantly obtaining information about this abandoned place from the dwarf and becoming a master pharmacist, some historical records about the Great War that year could be seen in the library, as well as some history books that were not open to ordinary people, were confirmed one by one, and this time gradually began to become clear in front of Qin Liang's eyes.
Although the dwarf Yuan Li was sealed. But the speed is still very fast, after all, it is the physique of the middle stage of the grandmaster level. A simple and fast rush is naturally not a problem, not to mention that there is also Qin Liang's Wind Talisman as an aid. Therefore, two hours later, the outline of a small city appeared in Qin Liang's field of vision.
From a distance, the town feels particularly strange, and the east side of the city is extremely prosperous and full of exotic atmosphere. But the west side of the city is dilapidated, except for the city walls, there are low shanty towns, like half-decomposed corpses stuck to the body of the east city, which makes people extremely disgusting.
"The people living in the eastern city are all nobles. I heard that the aristocratic system that has been abolished on the upper continent has human rights, and everyone has human rights, and they can use the law to protect their rights and interests. But here it is still like a backward feudal society, the aristocracy is the ruling class, which can decide the life and death of ordinary people, as well as slaves. Seeing that Da Qin Liang's face was a little weird, the dwarf opened his mouth to explain.
Qin Liang looked at the dwarf with some surprise: "You seem to want to go to the Upper Continent?" ”
From the words of the short man, Qin Liang seemed to guess something. And there is some understanding of the communication between this world and the upper continent. The people of this world only seem to know the bright side of the upper continent, and they don't see that the darkness below the bright is even more dangerous than here.
The feudal system was indeed abolished, and ordinary people did get some human rights. But the privileged class still exists, and the world is still a world where the strong are respected. Otherwise, Hong Liang and the others would not have bullied Qin Liang again and again.
"Of course I want to go, I want to go in my dreams. I heard that people in the upper continent can eat fine lamb meat every day, and the food cooked by demon beast meat is even more delicious. That's because I want to drink the water here with the smell of blood and the smell of **. The dwarf's eyes shone brightly.
Qin Liang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when an adventurer who could do anything to survive would show a firm and yearning gaze that only a devout believer would show. Then he shivered, and he suddenly felt chills all over his body, and even his heart was trembling.
"That's a good place to be." Qin Liang didn't say anything, and nodded.
He had already guessed the means by which the Upper Continent had informed the humans here, which was somewhat similar to religious beliefs. It's like painting a heaven of existence for devout believers, and then from time to time leading some of the most devout believers into heaven as an example. In this way, believers who do not enter heaven will be more religious, and there will be more and more believers.
The Upper Continent is undoubtedly a paradise in the eyes of humans in this continent, where they are born, old, sick and die, and live in fear every day. But as long as they enter heaven, they can live the most comfortable life in the world, and they don't have to sleep with their eyes open.
This means of control is a bit of a glimmer, and it is an indisputable fact that the upper class is more comfortable than this abandoned land. So such a method is only half deception, half truth.
"Who's the biggest in this town?" Qin Liang diverted the topic, he suddenly had an indescribable heaviness in his heart, and he didn't want to think about the question just now.
"At that time, it was the mayor of the town, and the mayor of the town was the biggest official in the whole town, and he was personally appointed by the generals of the nearby garrisons. In times of crisis, there is the right to mobilize the army. The mayor of the small town showed a look of fear on his face, not because of the strength of the mayor himself, but of the power in his hands.
"Tell me about some of the specifics of the city, especially where to buy information." Qin Liang opened his mouth and said. (A good event for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!)
