Chapter 43: The Final Effect, the First Cause
"I can't give you this time limit, I can only tell you. When the time comes, I'll tell you. Wang Yanxi then said: "Moreover, it's almost over." β
"That's... All right. Ji Zihe said: "Then I'll wait for the day you tell me." β
"Speaking of which, such a large area of Fengyuan City is devoured by black matter?" Ji Zihe said: "Didn't you say that this thing won't hurt people? When I came to Fengyuan City, I felt that there were a lot of people missing. β
"It doesn't take the initiative to harm people." Wang Yanxi said: "But after combining with people, it's a different matter. At that time, you should have been in a coma, in order to protect you, that's why it will kill people. β
"But I was stunned by it." Ji Zihe said.
"No, it won't stun you, the master. You should have been knocked unconscious, at the moment when the black substance was united with you. Wang Yanxi said: "And this thing has a name." β
"Name? What's the name? Ji Zihe said.
"Infinite True Distance." Wang Yanxi said.
"Infinite true distance? What's that? Ji Zihe was puzzled: "This name is too strange." β
"Well, it's weird, but that's exactly what it's called, Infinite True Distance." Wang Yanxi said.
"What is it for?" Ji Zihe asked.
"I don't know exactly what it's used for. Okay, that's all for today, go take a shower and get some rest. Wang Yanxi said.
"Okay." Ji Zihe said regretfully: "What a strange name." β
When Ji Zihe arrived on the third floor, he looked at the other three people who were resting, if it weren't for their slightly undulating chests showing that they were still alive, Ji Zihe would have thought that these three were all dead.
"These three people are too weird." Ji Zihe shook his head and said.
The next day, Ji Zihe left 'Shenxing'.
At this time, Ji Zihe realized what had become of Fengyuan City in front of him, and as far as the whole Fengyuan City could see, except for the ground that was intact, the rest of the places had completely become an open area, without any buildings, not even the ruins.
Only a quarter of the area of the entire Fengyuan City is left, and the remaining quarter is still a residential area for ordinary people. There are no more capable people here.
Those who survived were all gone, and some of them bared their fangs to the general without the constraints of the three laws.
At this moment, Yang Lingting took the 'Dingyuan' organ to carry out a major purge in Fengyuan City.
For those who are not willing to assist in the rebuilding of Fengyuan City, all are expelled.
In this way, when the sky was bright, the whole city began to rebuild under the supervision of the 'Dingyuan' organ.
And the disaster in Fengyuan City this time has gradually spread throughout the empire in the past few days. At this time, the Empire began to organize personnel to investigate.
At this time, Ji Zihe saw a scene that he didn't expect, Yang Lingting, who was covered in dirt, was directing ordinary people and capable people to rebuild the city.
Ji Zihe saw hope and persistence in the eyes of these survivors of the disaster, and after Ji Zihe understood, he learned that Yang Lingting encouraged the survivors as soon as possible after the disaster and began to rebuild Fengyuan City.
At this time, Ji Zihe couldn't figure out what kind of person this Yang Lingting was, so he let himself sneak into the 'Eight Bottoms' prison, and what he saw was also caused by the empire. At this time, Yang Lingting was constantly inspiring ordinary people to carry out post-disaster reconstruction.
"Perhaps...... This is humanity. Ji Zihe said.
At this time, Yang Lingting saw Ji Zihe, waved his hand at Ji Zihe, and then walked towards Ji Zihe after others explained.
"Follow me." Yang Lingting said.
After walking together for a while, the two came to a place that served as a temporary command post.
"You're such an incomprehensible person." Ji Zihe took the lead in speaking.
"Really?" Yang Lingting said: "Everything I do is for the empire. β
"So, are those 'red ghosts' of the human-beast combination also for the Empire?" Ji Zihe asked without scruples.
"Looks like you know it all." Yang Lingting said.
"You didn't look surprised at all when you saw that I was still alive. And what do you want to lurk in the 'eight-bottomed' prison? I'm afraid it's not simple, in order to investigate the 'black water'," Ji Zihe said.
"Where's the map?" Yang Lingting asked.
"I don't know." Ji Zihe said.
Now where the map is going, even Ji Zihe doesn't know.
"I can tell you right now that all I want is a map. But since I'm not here, I think I've already traveled a long way away. Yang Lingting said: "Huang Ran's old man used the map as bait to let his son take Wang Yi forward, I wanted Wang Yi to take it away, but I didn't expect it to be taken away by you." β
"And then?" Listening to Yang Lingting's narration, Ji Zihe was a little confused.
"Then the people of the Huang family, although they confirmed you at the first time, but the Huang family was caught by us before that little ghost died, and when your information arrived at the Huang family, it was already a step too slow." Yang Lingting said.
"What does that mean?" Ji Zihe said.
"Because he was a step too late, he was angry and wanted to kill you." Yang Lingting said expressionlessly: "However, that night, due to his arrogance, he missed the best time to make a move, and then he was restrained by our people. β
"And what did Huang Ran get from here?" When Ji Zihe heard this, his pupils shrank.
"He? Hmph, I lost my wife and broke my soldiers. He caught the two brothers in that cramped place, and took all the opportunities, but because of his arrogance, he was one step slower, and the people he assigned died in prison without any sense. Yang Lingting said: "It's ridiculous. β
"Before you came to Fengyuan City, I made an agreement with 'Shenxing' to let 'Shenxing' enter the 'Eight Bottoms' prison alone, and finally you handed over the map to me." Yang Lingting said.
"In other words, the moment I arrived at the 'Dingyuan' organ, did you know that it was me?" Ji Zihe said.
"No, the moment you stepped into Fengyuan City, I knew it was you." Yang Lingting grinned.
"In that case, what's the point of you asking me to go to the Huang family to ask for money?" Ji Zihe asked.
"It doesn't make sense, it's just to ask you to get your money back, and it doesn't matter if you don't come back." Yang Lingting said: "Wang Yanxi's little girl, the requirements for me are very strict, if you die inside, I will be finished." β
Yang Lingting smiled and said, "Does it sound incredible to you?" But it's all revolving around you, and I really want to know who you are, but looking at your expression, it seems that you don't know. β
"I've violated the three laws of the empire, won't you arrest me?" Ji Zihe was silent for a while and said.
"Well, you're so naΓ―ve. Do you feel that the law applies to everyone? Yang Lingting said: "As long as you have privileges, the law can't help you." And you are such a person, although you are just an ordinary person, but under the protection of Wang Yanxi, in this country, unless you are tired of being crooked, no one dares to take the initiative to provoke you. Even if the top ten families want to do this, they will have to pay an extremely heavy price. The slightest negligence is the extermination of the race. β
"She's from some hermit's family?" Ji Zihe asked.
"Hahahahaha." Yang Lingting laughed. Then Yang Lingting's face immediately turned cold and said, "If she is really a member of a hermit's big family, it would be great. In an increasingly transparent world, the deeper the hidden family, the farther away it will be left behind by the times.
The deeper the family, the stronger the closed loop of self-knowledge, and the more serious its decay will be. Therefore, if Wang Yanxi is really a hermit's family, then there is really nothing to be afraid of. β
"That's ......," Ji Zihe said.
"Her horrors, you have a chance to see them." Yang Lingting said: "Okay, that's the end of the chat, now you have to go with me to rebuild Fengyuan City." After all, you did it. β
"Hmm." Ji Zihe said.
Watching those ordinary people full of hope rebuilding their homes in full swing, that kind of fiery atmosphere gradually infected Ji Zihe's heart.
"It's good, the capable are good." At this time, the person who was working hard with Ji Zihe on the side wiped the sweat on his head and said.
"What's wrong? Uncle. Ji Zihe said.
"I don't know anything else, but now that someone with the ability of you has joined, our work is much easier. Look at it. The man in his fifties said, "Those people who want to lift a very heavy object to a very high position, and if they fail, they will eventually die." β
"The addition of capable people can not only reduce casualties, but also improve efficiency a lot." He said, "You came late, I don't know." When it was rebuilt a few days ago, many people were stoned to death just by lifting the ironwood trees to it. Those people died, and they were relieved, leaving their families behind, but how should they live? Alas..."
Ji Zihe looked up and looked around, there were indeed some capable people who were reluctant, but they were still doing a job that was very dangerous for ordinary people.
Seeing this, Ji Zihe's brows furrowed tightly.
"Uncle, are you all rebuilding in this way?" Ji Zihe asked.
"Or else? If we don't have the ability, we won't be able to rebuild Fengyuan City with the Ironwood Tree. β
"No, it's too dangerous, and it's too inefficient." Ji Zihe said.
At this time, Ji Zihe remembered the equipment used to build a house in his hometown, and slowly took shape in his mind.
"Yang Lingting." Ji Zihe shouted, "Do me a favor." β
"What's the matter?" Yang Lingting said.
Ji Zihe showed Yang Lingting the thing constructed with the wind element in his hand, and then said, "If you build this thing, you can complete the reconstruction more quickly." β
"Really?" Yang Lingting said, "But what is this? β
