Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Mutation of the Xijiang River

When you arrive at Xijiang Park, it seems that the sun here is shining brightly. The surrounding air is full of colorful clouds, and the white mist is steaming, and it is peaceful.

Sand gulls fly and gather, and brocade scales swim.

At the door, the two sea princes still stopped here, guarding the place like guards.

When Chen Ye walked over, the golden vertical pupils suddenly looked up and down like lasers.

In a moment, they confirmed Chen Ye's identity and opened the way.

"This copper coin is still a good deal, at least you don't have to worry about the water supply for a week."

Chen Ye muttered to himself in his heart, and returned the same courtesy, and then walked along the cobblestone path all the way to the river.

Compared to yesterday......

On the contrary, the flow of traffic in the park has increased significantly.

Several figures carried buckets, rolled up their trouser legs, ran barefoot to the river, and poured the river water into their mouths excitedly.

Among them, there are also some people who swim naked in the river, sometimes giving out cheerful cheers.

It is like the victims who have survived the desert island catastrophe and finally got a safe place to get water, bathe freely, wash away the mud on their bodies, and wash away the physical and mental fatigue and the rough experience.

"This looks like a player!"

Chen Ye muttered in his heart, who would go to the river to take a bath?

Most of the players still retain the habit of taking a bath every day before the advent of "Strange Era", and they can't stand the sour smell of sweat, and they don't wash for a day, and they feel uncomfortable.

At this moment, I have a safe water source, and it is like coming to heaven.

There are dozens of figures by the river, some fetching water by the river, and some swimming in the river. There was also a large group of young people, both men and women, sitting by the river to soak their feet or playing in the water. At a glance, the clothes were thin and scarce, and several young and beautiful girls sat side by side, laughing and laughing, and their slender and white thighs swaying on the water.

Chen Ye remembers that before he came, he seemed to be on the forum of the bloody mobile phone, and saw that some players specially organized a party by the river.

As for what kind of party it is......

Then it is unknown.

Scanning with the pupil of luck, Chen Ye found that the aura of luck on the heads of this group of players by the river was mostly white and gray, and some were black, and even red and black were intertwined.

There are basically no purple and glazed players.

Watching them play wildly by the river, as if forgetting themselves and enjoying the momentary pleasures......

Chen Ye shook his head, feeling that the reason why they showed these aura of luck was not for nothing.

Not only the character determines the fate, but the brain also determines the fate.

He didn't like to join in the fun, and seeing that the riverside was too noisy at the moment, he followed the path that shrouded the aura of faint gray fog and went downstream.

In the distance, several young men saw Chen Ye's extremely fast speed, taking four steps at a time, and immediately called out to a few partners around him:

"Look, that guy is so fast!"

"He's on an ordinary journey, why does he seem to be running as fast as he is?"

"Look at his direction, it should be ...... downstream"

"This is definitely not a player, but the original trick in "Strange Era", let's stay away, don't provoke this kind of evil star!"

"How do you know he's not a player, and just conclude that it's the original trick?"

"If it's an ordinary player, you come to Xijiang to fetch water, where is there to go downstream?"

"I just went downstream to take a look, the picture is so terrifying, it's like hell, let's try to stay in Xijiang Park in the future!"

"yes...... There is water, there are beautiful women, and it feels like coming home. And according to the information of the forum boss, the heir of the sea prince is an orderly and neutral existence, and he will not encounter other treacherous attacks here, which is very safe. ”

"It is said that the heir of the sea prince has been recruiting new laborers recently, and the remuneration is five copper coins a week."

"Although the pay is not very high, it should be no problem to survive here."

"yes, if I can get this job, then I can finally settle down in the future."

It didn't take long for this group of people to leave Chen Ye behind and continue to sink into the happiness of the river.

When they discussed the work situation, they invariably showed their expectant eyes, and imagined a beautiful and peaceful future.

Since the appearance of the bloody countdown incident, two schools of thought have emerged in Linjiang City.

One is despair pessimism, they live in the pain of the end all day long, feeling that there is no hope for the future, and no matter what they do in life, it is futile;

The other is the optimism of living in the moment, they grasp every happiness of the moment, and do not think much about the rest, as long as there is something that makes them happy, then they do it without scruples.

After appearing for a long time, the blood countdown has become a new trend and slogan to live in the present, which has attracted the support of a large number of young people.

Negative emotions such as pessimism, thinking, and criticism were even boycotted by the government for a time, so as to avoid intensifying group pessimism and negatively impacting society when the end comes.

On the weird forum, even if a random stranger posts a riverside party, it will get a lot of support from players.

The success rate of offline meetings is extremely high.

These groups all feel that the more difficult the environment, the more important it is to keep themselves happy......

Even after the arrival of "Strange Age", this is true.

…………

Follow the gray mist trail all the way to the lower reaches of the Xijiang River.

In front of me, the majestic black fog gradually obscured the entire sky, and the majestic embankment stood in front of the view like a mountain.

The heirs of the sea princes, sweating all over their bodies, are constantly carrying huge stones like busy worker bees to the embankment to build it.

Merely...... Chen Ye found that there seemed to be more heirs of the sea prince involved in this project.

"The last time I came here, I didn't see so many sea princes."

Chen Ye walked near the embankment and found that in addition to the heir of the sea prince, there were several workers who looked like normal humans, who were also moving stones.

Of course, their physique is far worse than that of the Sea Prince, but they are stronger than ordinary people.

It can be seen from the demeanor that these workers, who look like normal people, should be players.

When Chen Ye was surfing on his mobile phone, he also focused on the content of Xijiang, and probably learned about the recent recruitment of employees by the heir of the sea prince.

He tapped his eyebrows and opened the pupil of luck to check it, and his brow couldn't help but furrow deeply.

Compared with the young people partying in Xijiang Park, the black fog shrouded in the heads of the sea princes here is even thicker, as if the dark clouds that are about to collapse are pressing from mid-air!

Among them, nearly one-third of the sea prince's heirs, in the center of the black mist, there was a blood light permeating out!

Take a closer look......

The blood light faintly, as if forming a strange eye, lurking in the center of the undercurrent, quietly watching everyone!
