Chapter 952: Hand-to-hand
"They still have the possibility of saving, and it is against their will to let it go. The plan before coming has to be changed, and there are many opportunities to realize the law of destruction that is exposed when the world is destroyed, but it is simply not a precious opportunity to sit back and watch sentient beings perish in despair. ”
Qi Ming couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, he could ignore the death of ants, but he couldn't ignore the miserable situation of the entire human race.
Come to think of it, the views of the innate gods and demons on the acquired souls are similar to our ignorance of the life and death of insects. It has nothing to do with good and evil, it is purely that they don't regard each other as real lives, and naturally they don't think about their joys, sorrows, and disobedience.
When I got up early the next morning (Qi Ming's usual routine had not changed), I had already sensed that the town mayor, the chief of the guard (sheriff) and other village and town leaders were waiting outside the gate.
Their purpose, Qi Ming knew very well, was nothing more than to help clear the evil in the vicinity. Dozens of beginner warriors born only by world consciousness are okay to defend against ordinary zombies, and when they go out hunting, there is a high chance of casualties when encountering zombies. The subsistence needs are not self-sufficient, and the production of food crops around villages and towns is getting lower and lower, and it is imperative to hunt farther away.
Perhaps, there is still some faint expectation, praying that the mysterious wizard can solve the problem of population reproduction.
The situation was worse than they could have imagined, and whether it was a small surviving place, a fortress used by the noble lords to protect themselves, or other races, they were in danger of almost no new life being born. If it weren't for finding the way to call for help in the Mall of Ten Thousand Worlds, the world consciousness would be ready to give up the old life and guide the generation of new life that adapts to the yin attribute energy, and fight poison with poison.
"Good morning, Wizard."
Last night, they didn't dare to look directly at the legendary incomparably evil wizard, and the light of the magic lamp was blocked by the fog, so they couldn't really see Qi Ming's face. At this time, no one would think how evil the down-and-out Qi Ming was, and it was a plus to optimize his handsome appearance N times because of his cultivation.
"Honorable lord, the contemptible people have a little light wine, please appreciate it."
With the worst intentions, such as sacrifices, the mayor and others who came to see him were relieved. The wizard in front of him is a righteous man at first glance, and even if he can't solve the problem, he will definitely not make excessive demands.
Under the introduction of the mayor, along the way, Qi Ming took the general situation of the entire village and town into his eyes.
"Damn the zombie scourge! In the past, our town was a veritable town, and although the lord was greedy and stupid, everyone's life was not bad. In order to protect the safety of the townspeople, they had to abandon the areas that could not be defended and shrink into the current town. The buildings and facilities on the periphery can be demolished, and those that should be demolished are demolished, and the materials for building the city wall are finally enough. ”
Speaking of the prosperity of the past, the mayor of the town is honored.
As he spoke, he showed a yearning look. The previous mayor may not have had a good life, and there are many people who can bully him, but he can't change the mayor's idea of preferring to be a peace dog rather than leaving people for chaos.
"If I could, I really wanted to exchange my status as the mayor for a peaceful life in the past."
Today, when it is possible to be destroyed at any time, the heavy responsibilities of the mayors and sheriffs far outweigh the benefits of power. Although they feel pressured, they can't pick and choose. The mentality of the other townsfolk was even worse, and without their encouragement, the entire town would have self-destructed before the zombies could strike.
Qi Ming deeply agreed, and did not think that the mayor was boasting. These small-town officials must have selfish intentions, but they are flawed. In times of crisis, they have the heavy responsibility of shouldering the burden of maintaining the existence and order of the town, and their performance is good enough to be worthy of boasting.
The only remaining hotel in the town is not much better than the houses of the common people, and it is really impossible to entertain the wizard here.
Judging from the amount of living materials in the town, the mayor and others have invested heavily to buy a large table of banquets.
Without the explanation of the mayor and others, Qi Ming already knew the weight of this table in this town. The courage of the town officials surprised Qi Ming. If memory serves, most of the civilians' food is nothing more than grassroots noodles, and the officials are only full.
"I belong to the Terrans, and now that the survival of the Terrans is at stake, I should always do something. I deserve this banquet of yours. ”
Qi Ming omitted the polite part in one sentence, and began to move the chopsticks after speaking, signaling everyone to sit down and eat together. The consciousness of obeying the strong has long been imprinted in their bones, and the mayor and the others don't think there is anything wrong with Qi Ming's anti-guest-oriented behavior.
Knowing that Qi Ming, a wizard, was not difficult to get along with, and was tempted by the 'sumptuous' feast, the people at the table gradually stopped being cautious and ate all the meals like a whirlwind.
"Hiccup, make you laugh. To tell you the truth, the taste of green vegetables has not been tasted for half a year. ”
The mayor burped and apologized for the faux pas.
After the meal, it didn't take long for the mayor to beg Qi Ming to make a move.
To be alive is endless despair, and the mayor doesn't seem to have much to worry about, dying early and dying late is death. Once cleaned up, zombies from other places will come again, and the fate of a town without the protection of the strong has long been doomed.
Whether the town in a material predicament can barely survive can only be counted on by this powerful wizard who dares to rush at night.
Qi Ming is not a young man who has just set foot in society, and the procedures that should be taken are indispensable, and it is necessary to meditate hard and experiment many times. If you solve something that no one else can do anyway, you will solve it immediately, and anyone will have the idea that he is fooling people. Not only can we not speed up the pace of solving the problem, but because of distrust and lack of enthusiasm for cooperation, more time is delayed.
Field investigation is not just about dealing with people, in the eyes of the Oriental monks, the simple and clear formation can make local mages and wizards collectively blind. What's more, whether it was the transformation of Yin attribute energy into Yang attribute, or the extreme environment within the Yin and Yang Harmony Formation, the theoretical knowledge in it was not something they could understand.
It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, from the layout of materials to the extensiveness of application, to the difficulty of learning, even if a point does not meet the requirements of promotion, it is a failure.
The focus cannot be placed on one city or one town, otherwise, it will be dealt with one town by one, not to mention the waste of time, and the cucumber vegetables will be cold.
Unless Qi Ming works tirelessly and fires with full firepower, the nobles and lords of major cities turn around and donate generously and supply the corresponding materials in unlimited quantities. After it was refined, it was then distributed to the settlements by their grand dukes and selflessly. During this period, the knight master and the law master worked tirelessly, day and night, risking their lives to transport the array disk... The requirements are too high, slavery has not been abolished, how can the nobles have such noble sentiments.
The accompanying town officials were anxious like a cat's paws, and they could only be relieved by rubbing their hands. The future of the town is at stake, the life and death of the inhabitants, and they will never dare to disturb the wizard who is exploring the terrain.
As a powerful wizard, there is no need to deceive them, and I don't look down on the little possessions in the town. There are certain concerns, such as the forbidden rituals that are indispensable to witches and even more terrifying.
"No matter what the wizard does, is there any other choice but to obey?"
The mayor was worried, and so did the others, all thinking of the same thing. The mayor of the town stopped a young and vigorous official with a look, and persuaded him to understand what reality is and what is no way out.
The town officials prayed to the gods they worshipped in their hearts, praying that the words of the wizard in front of them were not playing tricks on them. The possible mutilation of civilians is not the time to care, the whole town can become a dead town at any time, and no amount of sacrifice is worth it!
Losing contact with the outside world, a severed point of survival, in the face of a terrible crisis, people with combat effectiveness are especially important. In the face of life, who cares about dispensable identity. In particular, after all the nobles of the town fled, there was no exploiting class, and the slavery system lost its necessity.
Qi Ming easily handled the matter of the formation alone, but he still sent some tasks within his power to the townspeople. Doing what you can doesn't mean it's easy, on the contrary, it's dangerous!
A special environment creates a special creation, the more negative materials required for the formation, the better, if there is no better and more convenient way, Qi Ming's formation is destined to be popular all over the world. Thinking along this line of thinking, the negative materials needed to expand the survival points and clean up the contaminated area will definitely become an indispensable strategic material and a real hard currency.
"Turning harm into benefit is the right way to save the world."
After a few days, before the materials were in place, Qi Ming had nothing to do to pick up the children in the town. The formation must spread, and who is not taught is not. Encounters are fate, and teaching these children who are willing to learn can also give them an additional skill to improve their social status.
The Yin attribute treasures that Qi Ming asked for were all frustrating things that might attract bloodsucking zombies. Naturally, no one dared to collect it, and the treasures collected in the early days of the corpse tide had long been discarded, and there were almost no in the town. According to the array materials listed by Qi Ming, in addition to the Yin attribute treasures, there are also wood, stone and metal that have been eroded by Yin Qi.
"My lord, if you want something, even if it is a monster, our town will try to collect it with all our might. This capture of live zombies, we are just ordinary people, we really can't do it. ”
The materials were piling up day by day, and as the search area continued to expand, the outgoing team began to suffer casualties. Seeing that the goal was about to be completed, and that he had lost a good man for it, the mayor's heroic mood of sacrificing his life to accompany the gentleman was swept away, and he ran to Qi Ming to complain.
"Zombies, if you can catch them well, it doesn't matter if you don't have them. Your first task is to prepare the materials, don't think about what you don't have, zombies are not what I ask for. ”
The zombies that the town's warrior squad can't deal with, Qi Ming has already quietly dealt with them, and the combat power of the zombies left behind will not exceed their ability. If they had the guts to deal with it, they would find that zombies were not so scary.
Of course, it is still possible to find an accident, and the outside environment is not weaker than the corpse raising ground everywhere, and perhaps the scum left behind will begin to become stronger in the next moment. There are accidents in everything, and in this kind of world, it is normal for tragedy to occur.
Living people are not old and weak who need to be carefully cared for, and the key to saving the world is to inspire their determination to save themselves. If they don't, they will definitely hide in the formation and defend passively in the future, waiting for the expansion of the formation.
Qi Ming has no obligation to save the numb person, let it go and don't care, at least try. From his current perspective, he sees things very differently than before. To put it unacceptably to ordinary people, living things are extinct, but they can also evolve and create again, and the cycle between death and rebirth is not endless, and death is not unacceptable (only for strangers).
He didn't have much intimacy with people from other worlds, just the identity of the human race, so he didn't want to sit idly by. If these people don't fight, he won't ask for more, and will still help them solve their problems.
Whether you are a cow or sheep waiting to be raised in captivity, or a free hunter, is up to your own will.
Danger is often accompanied by opportunity, and yin attribute energy is not all bad, after correct guidance, it is completely possible to develop a cultivation civilization that is different from the current one.
Where does courage come from, the premise of most people's bravery is to have confidence. The formation saves the world, the cultivation method saves people, and the brave townspeople and children will be the first to benefit.
"The teacher is busy with big things, today's class will be taught by my Ah Mao, you all listen obediently!"
The temporary classroom was in the courtyard of the mansion where Qi Ming temporarily lived, and Ah Mao unfolded the animal skin handwriting with both hands and read it aloud according to the script. The students felt very interesting, but they were worried about their parents' advice, so they could only reluctantly pretend to be serious about the class, and they thought about asking Ah Mao what it was like to be a teacher in their spare time.
After the townsfolk collected all the materials listed by Qi Ming without fear of casualties, in their expectant eyes, Qi Ming immediately began to refine the array plate and array flag.
All the preparations are carried out around the formation, and after several deductions, there is no problem in theory. Practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, and the gadgets that can be completed with a single thought, but Qi Ming is the same as when he first started to cultivate.
The ability to control cannot exceed the stage of Qi training. The materials must be refined separately, and every difference from the theory cannot be ignored, and the refining process should be simple, and the steps that can be streamlined and reduced in difficulty are summarized.
The time consumed to refine a magic weapon is about to catch up with the immortal weapon. In fact, it takes very little time. When refining, the firepower is limited to Qi cultivation, but it does not mean that only one or one material is refined at a time, and it is divided into N parts. The parts were refined almost at the same time, and after they were assembled, a ritual vessel was completed.
Qi Ming also took great pains, in order to reduce the difficulty, he used the assembly mode.
Weak cultivation, ordinary materials, and rough techniques, what magic weapons can be refined? Trying to do it in one step, how long can the formation patterns on the magic weapon withstand the erosion of yin qi? Especially when yin turns to yang, the pressure will not be small.
I don't want to share this pressure, the garbage materials are absolutely unbearable, and the time for using the formation is greatly limited. Of course, the premise is that the magic weapons refined by the locals can successfully lay out the formation.
If you don't put some thought into it, you will only make flashy and useless things.
"My lord! Could it be..."
Mayor Mare, his lips trembling, said.
Qi Ming, who pushed open the door and came out, had a calm face, no joy or sorrow.
The mayor and others, who waited outside the door for a few minutes, were desperate and mourned for their comrades who were killed or injured in the operation. It's only been a few minutes, how can it be successful in a short period of time! Qi Ming didn't continue, there was only one explanation, something went wrong.
