Chapter 47 Compulsory Levy of IQ Tax
After confirming that these six Hani people did not seem to have ill intentions towards him, Chu Li took these guys who seemed to be respectful to him in front of him, and hurried towards the gas station where Feng Che and them were, and on the way, the long-haired young man also explained the situation on his side to Chu Li.
Putting aside Chu Li's crazy complaints in the process of listening, the appearance of these six people can be called magical.
According to the long-haired youth, they are...
At the beginning of the biochemical disaster, they lived in their village as usual, until that day a large number of people suddenly had a strange lesion (zombieization), and this change was actually considered some kind of evil curse for these villagers, who had been said to be isolated from the rest of the world, and they did not understand the seriousness of the problem.
For those who were infected and turned into zombies, the Hani people only tried their best to control them, and then imprisoned them in the village, of course, in the process, they also paid a lot of price. However, things were not as rosy as they had imagined, and despite the countless prayers performed by the village elders, the evil curse was not expelled from the people, on the contrary, more and more people developed diseases as time went on.
If it just continues like this, I believe it won't be long before the people in the village still have the ability to imprison those zombie people, and the destruction of this village will be very soon.
However, this horrific catastrophe was forcibly terminated one day.
"That day, a few of us young people went to the lake next to the village to fetch water as usual." The long-haired young man followed behind Chu Li and said with a look of reminiscence: "That lake is very big, and it has existed for a long time, even the old people in the village can't tell when the lake appeared, they only know that since our village settled there many years ago, we have been living on the clear water in that lake. But none of us could have imagined that such a lake would be the residence of our patron saint! ”
"Patronus?" Listening to the words of the long-haired young man, although Chu Li didn't ask directly, he couldn't help but glance at the young man with some doubts.
"A few of us went to fetch water that day, and just as I put down the bucket, the Patronus suddenly rushed out of the lake!" By the time he said this, the expression on the long-haired young man's face had gradually changed to an almost morbid look of fanaticism: "I will never forget that scene, Lord Shenlong rushed out of the lake, flew high into the sky, hovered in the air for a while, and then slowly disappeared into the clouds. Although it was only ten seconds, I can still clearly remember what Lord Shenlong looked like! ”
"Ever since the appearance of the Divine Dragon, a miracle has happened! The cursed clansmen in the village began to gradually recover, not only did their bodies fully recover, but even after that, even their physical strength became much better than before! This is definitely the protection of Lord Shenlong! When the long-haired young man said this, he also eased his excitement, and then continued: "It is also because of this that we regard Lord Shenlong as our patron saint, because only our patron saint will help us remove the curse and protect our village!" ”
In order not to show his feet, Chu Li still decided to adhere to the principle that silence is golden, but fortunately, these people, including the long-haired youth, did not have any suspicions, but knew everything about it, as if they were afraid of snubbing the 'messenger lord' who happened to appear in front of him.
"As for these scales that appeared on our bodies later... It was gradually discovered by the people in the village later, I don't know when, we have this kind of scales, and the area of the parts covered by the scales is not the same, but we guess that this should be a gift from Lord Shenlong to us, these scales are really too hard, they can resist almost all the damage for us, and in addition, this scale does not make us feel any bad about us - only our patron saint will give us such great power so selflessly! Today, I saw that the envoy-sama was able to attach the scales of the Shenlong-sama all over your body, so you must have received the gift of the Shenlong-sama, right?! ”
"Good, good.." Listening to the pious and almost superstitious words of the long-haired young man, Chu Li really felt a little headache, but he was not easy to attack, so he had to ask a question that he was most concerned about so far: "Then according to your words, you have always lived in a village in the mountains, why did you come back here?" It can't be a coincidence, right? ”
When he said this question, Chu Li seemed to be very unconcerned, but in fact, he was secretly ready to prepare for immediate measures in the next step - these six people can come to City A, the most complex and critical place in the world today, this is very intriguing, those power organizations, they all relied on the reminder of the large-scale sound wave at the beginning, only to know that something big might happen here, so they pursued it. And these Hani people, who claim to have been living in the mountains, naturally cannot have such means when their technological level is infinitely close to zero, so why and how they came here is not something that can be explained simply.
Chu Li miscalculated again, and the explanation given by the long-haired young man was quite simple, but he couldn't find any fault.
"Ah, speaking of which, it's time to talk about what we're here for." Not realizing the potential meaning of this question, the long-haired young man still replied bluntly: "Since the production of these scales in our bodies, including me, all the people who have been blessed have begun to have a faint feeling in their hearts, as if someone is calling us from afar, although this feeling is mysterious, but we can all prove that it really exists, and the old man in the village speculates that this should be our sense of the location of Lord Shenlong after he rewarded us with a gift." Following this induction, now that the situation in the village has stabilized, the six of us decided to follow the whereabouts of Lord Shenlong, and we have come all the way here."
Speaking of this, the strong man led by the six suddenly said a few words to the long-haired young man, and the young man was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses, and hurriedly asked Chu Li: "Oh yes, Lord Messenger, although we found this place by following the induction of Lord Shenlong, but, a few months ago, our sense of Lord Shenlong suddenly disappeared inexplicably, do you know why?" Could it be that we are not pious enough to provoke the wrath of Lord Shenlong? ”
"No, no, your performance is very good, Lord Shenlong only had to interrupt the communication with you for some reason." The corners of Chu Li's mouth twitched slightly, forcibly fooling these people who were so naïve that he couldn't bear to talk to them.
Thinking back to the picture when Feng Che excitedly told himself that their team had slaughtered a dragon, and then glanced at these Hani people behind him who were obviously powerful and perverted, but they were simple-minded, Chu Li made up his mind, even if he died, he couldn't tell the truth to this group of people.
"It's almost there." The egg hurts, but Chu Li didn't forget his original plan, and after sensing his current position, Chu Li muttered to himself. Unexpectedly, his words had just fallen, and the next moment, the scales on Chu Li's body quickly faded and dived back under the skin, and Chu Li himself also stopped abruptly from his original state of rapid and wild running—the transformation time finally passed, and he entered a state of weakness without accident.
"Your Excellency, you are..." In an instant, the six people who were far beyond Chu Li suddenly turned around and rushed back to Chu Li's side, looking at Chu Li's somewhat pale face, the expression of the long-haired young man was a little worried.
"Ah, it's okay, even if it's me, there's no way to use the power of Lord Shenlong indefinitely now, just rest for a while.." Looking at the really heartfelt concerned looks around him, Chu Li suddenly didn't want to communicate with this group of people.
