Chapter 119: The Plague
Race, skin color can become a universal problem, in the final analysis, it is caused by strength. When a group is strong, the people become proud. Then from pride to arrogance. Eventually, it gradually developed into discrimination against other ethnic groups.
Europeans have been looking to the East for thousands of years. However, successive victories in wars over the past hundred years have fueled their arrogance. They can't wait to trample under their feet the Eastern world that has suppressed them for thousands of years.
"These days I see weapons called firearms. Even though I can be afraid of ordinary firearms, once the number reaches a certain level, it is still quite troublesome. Even if I use the Five Elements Incarnation, I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand too many firearm blows. ”
On a wilderness, Ying Zheng said with some concern. He had sensed that the world was different. The development of firearms has greatly limited the use of individual force, but the damage they can cause is even more terrifying.
"There has always been a fatal problem in the development of scientific and technological weapons by mankind. That is, the attack is always greater than the defense. For thousands of years, people used the walls to defend against bows and arrows. And now? Bows and arrows became cannons, but people still had to use thicker walls to defend themselves. The offensive weapons have been reborn, but the defense has not changed substantially. It has to be said that humans are really a race that naturally likes to kill. It's a pity that he is too keen on killing, and he is too negligent in his own defenses. A powerful bullet can easily kill a person, as can some viruses that are invisible to the naked eye. ”
A huge tree full of corruption slowly grew out of the ground under Ying Zheng's surprised gaze, and soon grew into a huge tree large enough to cover hundreds of meters. It's just that this tree gives people an extremely dark and distorted feeling.
The trunk of the tree is a gloomy grayish-black. The leaves are a green with a hint of purple. Not only does the whole tree have the feeling of upgrading and exuberance of other plants. On the contrary, it gives people a feeling of despair and dilapidation.
"What is this?" Ying Zheng also felt that ominous power.
"The Plague Tree. It was a spell I hated terribly. Because it really subverts the lofty term of spells. But as my power grew, I began to realize that there were no useless spells, what mattered was how to use them. Now, for example, how do you fight against the combination of more than a dozen countries? Tens of millions of people, standing still for us to kill, is enough to exhaust us. And this is where this technique comes in handy. ”
As he spoke, the Plague Tree changed. I saw dense holes in the trunk of the tree. Countless flies crawled out of it. The plague flies, which were born purely by magical power, seemed to be endless, and soon formed a huge 'black cloud' in front of the two of them.
"The rise of every civilization always has to step on the bones of other civilizations. The civilization of this land wants to rise on the bones of the Chinese civilization. You must be prepared to be counterattacked. Thousands of years ago, they had experienced it once, but that time they narrowly avoided it. This time, see if they can still have that kind of luck? ”
Countless swarms of flies flew far away. This is the Ural Mountains region of Eurasia, and further west is the European continent. Countless swarms of flies swept by, leaving behind a large number of eggs and viruses along the way. This time it wasn't just the plague. Scarlet fever, influenza, cholera, malaria and other diseases that are deadly in this era are pouring into the population centers of Europe.
The initial outbreak began on the border with Western Europe. It didn't pay much attention. However, with the rapid progress of the epidemic, Croatia, Serbia and other small countries began to realize the seriousness of the epidemic. By this time, however, it was already too late.
European countries began to close their borders in an attempt to control the outbreak. However, they did not know that the epidemic was not mainly spread by the population, but by a swarm of flies flying in the sky with a purpose. In less than a week, the plague had spread throughout Europe.
Throughout human history, there has never been a pandemic of this magnitude. Many researchers have even despaired, believing that this is God's punishment for humanity. However, more often than not, various cults were born. Countless doomsday sects began to spread rumors that the world was about to be destroyed and that only by believing in them could they be saved. Countless people in desperation threw themselves into their organization. The whole of Europe is in shambles, and the disease and death have made the whole of Europe like hell.
The Chinese side also learned of the outbreak of a large-scale epidemic in Europe. Many traditional Chinese believe that this is the retribution of foreign devils, and God has opened his eyes. It is worth mentioning that the information received in the concessions of European countries is more precise. They clearly know what the situation of the epidemic has reached. It is no exaggeration to say that the epidemic has really threatened the national capital of European countries.
Almost all the foreigners in the concession have the same domineering style as before. invariably began to keep a low profile. At this time, it is not good to be low-key. There is no way to give them any support at home. Once the Chinese suddenly go crazy and send them all back to China, it will be a matter of personal life.
The national government also noticed the low profile of the embassies of various countries, and couldn't help but start to step up to confirm the extent of the epidemic in Europe. The final result left everyone stunned. Europe as a whole is already on the verge of collapse. This information made the entire National Government feel both happy and worried. It is so that European countries no longer have the ability to interfere in China's internal affairs. The worry is what will happen if such a terrible plague spreads to the country.
Of course, there are some people who think differently. At least the few young officials who participated in that diplomatic conference couldn't help but think of what Lin Xuan said when he left. You ask me how many I can kill, and you'll soon find out. Now that I think about it, if this was really the work of those two people, it would be a big problem.
In hellish Europe, every temple is filled with a large number of worshippers praying. Perhaps they don't even know which deity they are praying to. But the crowd, on the verge of despair, was still prostrating and praying in near-numbness.
I don't know if their prayers were working, or if it was something else. An unprecedented cloud has clouded the European continent. Bursts of thunder heralded the imminent arrival of a storm that had never been seen before.
At the same time, Lin Xuan, who was far away from the border, suddenly turned around, in his perception. An ineffable force is spreading over Europe.
