Chapter 23: You Forced Me!
"This feels a little wrong, the conversion efficiency of European qi is so low, a small week after running, but there is no growth in the sea of qi. β
Chen Mu frowned, sinking his consciousness into the system, but did not find anything abnormal.
When he opened his eyes, the strange pig next to him was sleeping soundly, and Yang Haoyu was busy dealing with the affairs of the fleet.
After Yang Haoyu was busy for a while, Chen Mu walked over and expressed his doubts.
"Well, it's also my fault that I was so busy that I forgot to tell you. Yang Haoyu patted his head, pointed to the glittering river, and said with a smile: "This kind of river is called the "Pure River".
The closer you are to the Pure River, the less radiant energy there is. And we are on the river now, of course your cultivation of internal strength will have no effect. β
Chen Mu suddenly realized: "I see, no wonder I saw that most of the non-combatants in the village lived in the northern area close to the Jinghe, presumably to reduce the erosion of radiation energy, right?"
"Well, after all, martial artists are a minority, and if ordinary people want to stay healthy and prolong their lives, they must live in the "green zone" near the Jinghe River as much as possible. Yang Haoyu nodded: "Or regularly take medicines that can reduce the radiation energy in the body, but this kind of medicine is very valuable, and ordinary people can't afford to consume it at all." β
"Green Zone?" Chen Mu took the opportunity to ask, wanting to know more about relevant information, he didn't want to send someone to the fence for the rest of his life.
"A green zone is an area with a very low radiation level that is suitable for ordinary people to live in for a long time. Yang Haoyu explained: "There are also "yellow zones" and "red zones" correspondingly. Each area is divided into more specific levels according to the level of radiation. β
As he spoke, he lamented: "For most ordinary people, it is not easy to live in the green zone.
For example, in the Knights' Country, only nobles and citizens are allowed to live in the Green Zone. Instead of having the right to live in the Green Zone, civilians must send their newborn children to the Green Zone to suffer the pain of separation.
These commoner children, known as "Pure Children" in the Green Zone, were trained as slaves from an early age, and once they failed to pass the assessment when they became adults, they were kicked out and became a new generation of civilians. β
Nima, this is simply a slave society! Chen Mu once again refreshed his understanding of the cruelty of this world, and asked, "Then no one will rise up to resist?"
"How could it not be, it's just that ordinary people don't have the qualifications to resist martial artists at all. Yang Haoyu smiled bitterly: "And although civilians are not qualified to live in the green zone, their life safety is relatively guaranteed."
However, once you take the risk of escaping, you will become a vagrant without legal status, and you will have to face all kinds of dangers in the wilderness, so there are not many people who resist.
For example, the area where the nomad village is located is the first choice for nomads who have escaped from the Knights' Country. But at present, there are only a dozen villages in this area with a slight scale, and the total population is not even as good as an ordinary small town in the Knights Country. β
After listening to Yang Haoyu's explanation, Chen Mu was also secretly frightened, this world is too unfriendly to ordinary people, either being a slave or being fed pigs, it's crazy.
He didn't have any idea of being a savior, he just felt that he had to improve his strength as soon as possible, otherwise he would really live like a dog, no, even a pig.
Thinking of this, Chen Mu pointed to the strange pig next to him and said curiously: "This guy is really the pet of the big boss?"
"Ahem, ahem, sort of. Yang Haoyu coughed a few times with a strange expression: "Its name is Pippi, it was originally a rare "Rocket Pig" cub, but it accidentally mutated and became what it is now.
In short, you should be careful, don't get too close to it, but don't attack it either, otherwise the big boss will definitely go berserk. Of course, with your current combat strength, you can't beat Pippi. β
Chen Mu heard that his head was full of black lines, as a traverser, he was mixed up to the point where he couldn't even do a pig, and there was really no one.
Suddenly, a guard ran in front of him and shouted from afar: "Three masters, the leader said that we are about to enter the Yongdao, let's prepare to prevent collisions!"
"Got it, you have the ships informed at once. Yang Haoyu walked quickly to the foredeck and began to give orders.
After a few moments, the fleet slowly turned and sailed into a tributary on the right side of the river.
After a while, a zigzag passage appeared in front of him, and Chen Mu had the experience of the last time and knew that this was about to open a river.
Sure enough, with a loud rumbling sound coming from ahead, the fleet began to accelerate forward, and finally rushed out of a hole.
βduangβββ
The dull bell rang in front of him, Chen Mu loosened the safety rope, stood up and looked ahead.
It's a slightly smaller underground space than the homeless village, and there are no colorful gems on the rock wall overhead, but instead there is an unpleasant scorching smell wafting through the air that makes you want to cough.
"Beep-"
Suddenly, Pipsqueak, who had been sleeping like a dead pig before, woke up.
It screamed a few times in its mouth, sniffed hard again, and then turned its head suddenly, staring at Chen Mu with bright eyes, saliva flowing.
Chen Mu hurriedly took a step back, and said with black lines on his head: "Actually, I'm really not delicious, why don't we discuss it, as long as you can coexist peacefully with me, I will cook all kinds of delicious dark dishes for you to eat every day, how about it?"
And it's the kind that glows, and it's guaranteed that you still want to eat after eating, and you never want to eat people again. β
As he spoke, he couldn't help but roll his eyes and laugh at himself: "Okay, I can talk to a pig in a serious way, and it's really not far from snake spirit disease." β
But at this moment, the boat suddenly stopped, and it turned out to be docked.
There was also a group of people on the shore to greet them, led by a small stocky man who carried two huge wolf's tooth bone hammers on his back, and looked very powerful.
Yang Haoyu performed a leisurely swim, easily unloaded the impact force of the landing, and then his body flashed, and he flew to the shore elegantly.
At this time, Chen Mu, who was at the back of the deck, was caught off guard, one stood unsteadily, staggered forward two steps, and happened to come to Pippi.
Before he could react, Pippi's tongue had already wrapped around his right foot, and then he pulled it violently, and Chen Mu fell to the ground with a bang.
"Bang-"
With a muffled sound, Chen Mu fell on his back and faced the sky, and Pippi's pig's head had arched between his legs, and he was about to bite it down when he opened his mouth.
"Nima, you forced me!"
At the critical moment, Chen Mu couldn't care so much, so he raised his foot and kicked Pipi's pig nose.
"Beep-"
Pipi was tied up like a zongzi, and he couldn't dodge, and he was suddenly kicked by Chen Mu, screaming in pain, and his eyes were red.
Chen Mu took the opportunity to get up from the ground, wanting to perform an inaccurate footwork to escape from the attack range of Pippi Tongue.
"Beep beep beep ......"
Pipsqueak suddenly began to scream, and a nearly white fire erupted from behind his buttocks.
This white flame instantly melted the gray-white thin line near its buttocks, and it also caused Pipsqueak to accelerate wildly, like a pig-shaped rocket, and hit Chen Mu like lightning.
"Click-"
Pippi castrated, broke the railing in the blink of an eye, and then shot into the water with Chen Mu.
"Whoaβ"
The water splashed and left a long white trail on the surface of the river, which stretched to the hole where the fleet had just entered, before finally disappearing.
