Chapter 40: The Perilous Periphery
"Damn!"
Liu Shang couldn't cry or laugh.
As a high-level Awakening Realm, his five senses have become more and more acute as the human body continues to evolve, and he can hear the communication of those people clearly.
Chen Qing glanced at the woman curiously, and couldn't help but look weird.
As it happens, she's here.
The woman who was coveted for her beauty was the "praying mantis" who had been made a yellow finch by Chen Qing and Chu Bawang, Zhou Tian.
"When the time comes, let's find a chance to hehe
"Such a beautiful woman, I think it should be collected as a confinement, it is too wasteful at one time, and it should be recycled!"
β¦β¦
However, the next exchange between these people made the corners of Liu Shang's mouth twitch, and his face was a little ugly.
Aren't they kidding?
Suddenly, he thought of something, looked at Chen Qing next to him, and asked in a low voice: "Do you already know that the people under this Shao Jie are not good things?" β
The various forces are uneven, and he has also heard that Shao Jie's command is a group of low-quality hooligans.
"Hmm."
Chen Qing nodded.
If it's just to be safe, he'll choose the strongest force over the second.
He had already inquired that the group of people gathered around Shao Jie before the end of the world came, they were a group of gangsters who had nothing to do all day, and now that the end of the world is coming, there are no rules and regulations, and they have intensified and done a lot of hurtful things.
"Why didn't you say it earlier!" Liu Shang was relieved, he thought that Chen Qing would use innocent people as shields.
These people in front of him don't look like good people, not to mention that they are innocent of death, at least they will not make him feel guilty, and now that the order has collapsed, there is no shackles of education and rules, and it is tantamount to wishful thinking to expect them to abandon the darkness and turn to the light.
To a certain extent, Chen Qing's move cleared up a group of people who were doing evil, and perhaps helped many people who were weak at the beginning of the last days.
"Any idea why I didn't say it?" Chen Qing said lightly.
"Why?"
"In my own opinion, I decided that these people are not good people, so I want to kill them, if I have such thoughts, then what kind of goods am I?"
ββ¦β¦β
Liu Shang was dumbfounded.
"In every force, there are good people and bad people." Chen Qing's eyes were deep, "If you want me not to kill a good person, I can't do it, that's too naΓ―ve......"
He has his own code of conduct.
It's perfectly fine to do good and not do evil, but it's impossible to value other people's lives more than your own.
Liu Shang: "......"
"Hmm."
After a while, Liu Shang exhaled a breath of turbidity: "You are right. β
β¦β¦
"This bunch of scum!" A man in a suit beside Zhou Tian frowned and scolded in a low voice.
Their words were unscrupulous, and they didn't try to hide it at all, how could he not hear it.
Zhou Tian's head shook slightly, signaling him to be patient: "Don't take it seriously, find an opportunity to teach them a lesson in the future, what you need to pay attention to now is the two high-level powerhouses of the Awakening Spirit Realm at the end of their strength, especially that ...... The guy who looks like a slick. β
The first time she carried out a mission alone, she was cut off, and now even if the other party is handsome, she is extremely unhappy.
"Looks like you're suffocating?" Huang Yue couldn't help but look over, swept over Chen Qing and Liu Shang, and understood, "Don't worry, I know him, he and I are friends." β
He also knows the strength of his friend, and Zhou Tian will pay special attention to it, but he is not surprised.
Zhou Tian was dumbfounded: "Do you know that bastard?" β
This news is a bit exciting for her.
I was robbed of something by a subordinate's friend?
Damn, it's a shame!
"Bastard?" Huang Yue was stunned, "No, although Liu Shang is angry, he is actually quite good." β
"Liu Shang?"
Zhou Tian gritted his silver teeth and said hatefully: "It turns out that his name is Liu Shang, let me tell you, he is definitely not a good person, he knows people and faces, but he doesn't know his heart, Huang Yue, you were deceived by him!" β
Huang Yue was confused, a little confused: "Really? β
"Absolutely, yes!"
β¦β¦
"She noticed it anyway." Sensing the unfriendly gaze from Zhou Tian, Chen Qing sighed, a little helpless.
He also wants to keep a low profile!
But the strength it doesn't allow.
"Do you know Miss Zhou?" Liu Shang asked in surprise.
"Miss Zhou?" Chen Qing grinned, "Don't tell me she's not small?" β
Liu Shang felt that something was wrong: "You won't offend the daughter of the Zhou family, right?" β
"Hmm."
Liu Shang: "......"
"Brother, it's not good for you to offend anyone, but to offend her." Liu Shang supported his forehead, "The Zhou family is one of the most wealthy families in the country of Tianyun, and their assets are beyond imagination!" β
Chen Qing raised his eyebrows slightly: "Strong assets? β
Since the end of the world, mankind has almost returned to the primitive era of martial arts, and money can still enslave people's hearts?
"Don't think that you can only rely on your own strength in the last days, you have also seen the power of that black sickle, the Zhou family has mastered the most cutting-edge technology of the times, and there are many similar weapons." Liu Shang smiled bitterly, "The man standing next to Miss Zhou now is my friend, and I just learned from him that the black sickle is the latest technological product, and it is priceless, and it is only in the hands of these big families!" β
He was killed by Ye Shaotian, who was wielding a black scythe in the dry mound, and after returning to the city, he had launched an investigation into the weapon, but found nothing, and finally it was his friend who revealed some information.
It can be said that after the end of the world, human science and technology are also advancing by leaps and bounds, which has exceeded the imagination of ordinary people.
"Can that weapon be scientifically explained?" Chen Qing was shocked.
Although it had been known that the scythe was a technological artifact in the dry mound, I couldn't believe it until it was actually confirmed.
It's just a weapon, it can be possessed to increase the strength of the owner, and it can be manifested and used to attack, what kind of science is this?
Science fiction is pretty much the same!
"I don't know the specifics." Liu Shang spread his hands and said that he couldn't understand, "It's just that Huang Yue said that the future of science and technology will make us ordinary people look more and more mysterious." β
"Well, maybe there really is a technological singularity." Chen Qing was impressed and had to accept the facts.
Liu Shang was puzzled: "Technological singularity? β
"To put it simply, the level of human science and technology is not a uniform progress, but an acceleration."
"Aha?" Liu Shang said that he was autistic on the spot.
"For example, if a person 2,000 years ago traveled back to a thousand years ago, even after a thousand years of time changes, he could still quickly adapt to that kind of life, but now, when people 200 years ago traveled back to modern times, it would be difficult to understand how people's lives could be so different, which is that the speed of scientific and technological progress is accelerating." Chen Qing made a more one-sided explanation, "This acceleration is maintained until a certain moment, when the speed of progress is beyond the scope of human understanding, and that point in time is called a technological singularity." β
"And that kind of thing?" Liu Shang was full of black lines, "I don't read much, don't lie to me!" β
β¦β¦
"Whew!"
As the two were talking, a beast roared ahead.
After a while, the sound of killing began, and the voices of people were boiling.
After entering the inner perimeter, danger is always unavoidable.
As everyone continued to go deeper, encountering more and more monsters, all of them were heavy-hearted, even those who were deep in the rear, could not see the situation clearly and were temporarily safe, they also raised their spirits and took precautions.
Because as the procession progresses, many dead bodies will be seen.
Daring to take risks does not mean that they are not afraid of death, they set foot in the inner circle to get the opportunity, but no one wants to die of bloodshed.
The procession moved slowly, with minimal movement.
Gradually, the fog became thicker and thicker, and everyone's eyes were white and the visual range was extremely small.
"Hiss!"
Suddenly, a giant python suddenly rushed in from the side, opened its bloody mouth, and easily swallowed a big man whose strength had reached the middle level of the Awakening Spirit Realm, and the scene was shocking.
"Damn it!"
"Kill it!"
Everyone shouted, and the crowd tactics surged up directly, and after losing more than ten people, they were killed.
"Moo!"
Two minutes later, the fierce bull as strong as a mountain arrived on the battlefield, and the sound was like a yellow bell and a big Lu, triggering a team battle again.
This cow was very strong, rampaging through the team, causing a large number of casualties, and even killed two high-level powerhouses of the Awakening Spirit Realm, and finally it was scarred and stubbornly came to Chen Qing's vicinity, and was killed by Chen Qing, who was quick-eyed, and got a purple bead.
"Purple level!"
The bead glowing with purple light attracted hundreds of greedy eyes.
