Rumble!

The flames are soaring,

It is difficult to burn the Tsukiki youkai by fire, but fire has a natural restraint on trees.

So, the fire doesn't stop, and the screams don't stop.

It didn't take long for a vicious curse to be heard, but Zhang Wen was unmoved, quietly watching the fire burn, as if even the clouds in the sky were about to burn red.

After another half hour, the cursing turned into a pleading, but Zhang Wen remained unmoved.

Minutes and seconds passed.

By noon, Zhang Wen sent people to deliver food and water, and the team was divided into two groups, one group drank water and ate to replenish his strength, and the other group continued to star.

Until evening,

The fire stopped.

The outermost tree had turned into charcoal, and a gust of wind blew, and the tree fell crookedly.

Only a few wisps of smoke remained, and the heat did not abate.

"Captain, the fire has stopped, and there has been no sound for two hours."

"Well, bring the axe!"

Zhang Wen walked into the charcoal forest with an axe.

The residual high temperature around him scorched Zhang Wen's skin, and a slight burning pain hit.

In the middle of the charcoal forest, a locust tree had been dried and watered, and there was a wrinkled human face on the trunk.

The bark writhed painfully because of the burning, and it looked at Zhang Wen and squeezed out a pleading expression: "You and I have no grievances......

"Ever since you ate people, there have been."

Zhang Wen raised the axe mercilessly.

"Bang!"

"EXP +2200"

"What is this?"

Zhang Wen split the trunk of the tree and found that there was an irregularly shaped pebble in the trunk.

After a busy day, as soon as Zhang Wen got home, he saw Xiaoyun coming over.

"Uncle Arwen, someone has sent a letter."

"Deliver a letter?"

Zhang Wen's contact with other places is only Boss Su of Tianjin Wei and Mao Jian by the West Lake in Hangzhou.

The letter reads:

"My friend Zhang Wen personally enlightened"

The payment is Boss Su.

"It turned out to be Boss Su's letter."

Zhang Wen was also very polite to Su Fatzi, who had great powers, and helped a lot in arms and firearms.

After reading the letter quickly, Zhang Wen had a strange expression: "Bearded doctor from a foreign country? ”

"I'll go to Rong County tomorrow."

Xiaoyun didn't know what was written on the letter, she nodded softly and promised, "Oh good." ”

The next day,

Zhang Wen hurried to Rong County in a carriage.

In the hotel bar under the control of Shen Dashuai, I saw a bearded man in a suit, Mediterranean, but tied with a ponytail.

"Mr. Bill Emerson?"

The bearded foreigner looked up and looked at Zhang Wen in surprise, because Zhang Wen was speaking English just now.

Although it is not standard and has a special accent, it is rare to hear English spoken in this poor rural area.

The bearded man stood up and stretched out his hand to Zhang Wen: "Hello, you should be Mr. Zhang that Mr. Su said, right?" ”

He speaks Chinese, and although he has a few awkward pronunciations, he is very fluent overall.

The two laughed.

Zhang Wen changed back to Chinese and said: "You can speak Chinese, my spoken language is very bad, welcome, Mr. Emerson." ”

"In order to research, I need to travel to various parts of the world and conduct in-depth research, and sometimes the translation cannot convey the meaning accurately, so in order not to misunderstand the information, I taught myself many Chinese."

"Your studious spirit is admirable."

Zhang Wen said: "Mr. Emerson, why don't we find a place to eat?" ”

"Do as the locals do." The bearded man said, "Of course, talk while eating." ”

The two came to the restaurant in Rong County,

Although Rong County is not big, there are occasional foreigners, so it is not strange for the shopkeeper to see it.

After Zhang Wen ordered two dishes, he said to Emerson: "Mr. Su entrusted me to help a lot, I don't know what research Mr. Emerson is doing, and what can I help?" ”

"I'm doing research for peace, and there is war going on in the nations, just as the land beneath our feet is in the midst of civil strife."

Big beard says:

"There are many reasons for wars, the distribution of resources in the world, and the aggressive ambitions of human beings, but I think that the reason why people start wars is only because their lives are too short, and too many things oppress them, so that they are short-sighted and value the immediate benefits."

Zhang Wen can also understand the meaning of the beard, but he can't agree.

If people have an unlimited lifespan, they may have no desires and no desires, and they will not die, so what's the point of snatching them.

It was destined to be a long process, and the battle would not stop until it reached the point where everyone had no desire and no desire to create an immortal utopian world.

What's more, immortality is more ethereal than world peace.

In comparison, Zhang Wen prefers to believe that people need education, education, and restraint.

Therefore, popularizing knowledge and education and enlightening the mind is the fastest way to achieve "peace."

"I'd love to try to understand you, Mr. Emerson." Zhang Wen said: "However, no one can easily change the length of life. ”

The bearded man smiled proudly: "That's why I'm running around just to extend this length." ”

"How to extend?" Zhang Wen asked.

"In ancient civilizations, zombies in China, mummies in Egypt, and vampires in the Americas are all long-lived, mysterious, and powerful, so I plan to study these three eternal lives to complete my project," said the bearded man. ”

"Research ......, where are you now?"

Zhang Wen vaguely remembered which movie this beard came from, but he had to admit that the other party did have two brushes.

"I plan to start here, Mr. Su recommends you to me, Mr. Zhang" The bearded man looked at Zhang Wen: "He thinks you can help me and provide me with some security guarantees, and when I win the Nobel Peace Prize, you will also stand on the podium with me." ”

"Research Zombie ......"

Zhang Wen hesitated.

Simply study zombies, he has a zombie himself.

However, this zombie will be uncontrollable, have no weaknesses, and will even be able to fly, similar to the legendary Flying Zombie.

If this is a controllable evolution, it's okay to say, but if it's uncontrollable, Zhang Wen has no ability to deal with the aftermath.

The bearded man looked at Zhang Wen hesitantly and said, "Please rest assured, the cost of protection is not a problem"

"No, it's not about the money, Mr. Emerson." Zhang Wen shook his head: "Zombies are uncontrollable, and they love human blood, they are even invulnerable." ”

"So, zombies do exist!" Emerson rejoiced.

He pulled out a delicate silver cross necklace from his neck: "The Lord will bless me." ”

"The Lord is of little use in this place."

Zhang Wen took out a talisman made by Maoshan Ming, that is, the yellow paper talisman was folded into a small triangle and tied with a red rope.

He handed the amulet to Emerson: "Do as the locals do, and with us, this thing will work." ”

"Oh, I remember a saying...... Laugh. ”

"Laugh, hahaha!"
