Chapter 84 Dark Ages
Wearing armor and carrying heavy weapons, Chen Chu and Xia Youhui stood very conspicuously at the street entrance. Pedestrians passing by could not help but take a second look at them.
As the Federation defeated the rebels and suppressed the remnants in the past two days, the city of Lestru has regained a little vitality.
For example, there are obviously many more pedestrians on the street, vehicles pass by from time to time, and some shops and restaurants on both sides are also open.
It's just that after the meeting, Xia Youhui's face kept looking ugly.
Chen Chu couldn't help but wonder: "Lao Xia, are you constipated this morning? Why do you keep looking so stinky?"
Xia Youhui smiled bitterly: "I look ugly because of the blood race."
"Didn't it mean that those who spread out were all ordinary blood types, and they would not be able to break through to the third heaven no matter how they developed? Is there anything to worry about?" Chen Chu frowned.
“Mainly the blood type reminds me of some bad things.”
"What's up?"
Xia Youhui looked solemn: "Under normal circumstances, when we cultivators step into the first level of heaven, we absorb the extraordinary energy between heaven and earth to improve ourselves."
“But when it first started more than fifty years ago, the energy of heaven and earth in all parts of the world was poorer than that of Kolaya, and practitioners might not be able to break through to the second heaven in ten years.”
“Then someone came up with the technique of ‘eating people’, and the reference objects were those giant beasts that first came that year.”
“At the beginning of the new era, giant beasts often descended. The most famous one was the world-destroying giant python that appeared in the Aochedi Sea. It hung over the city and swallowed millions of people in one bite.”
“It is said that at that time, the sky was covered by a huge swallowing mouth, and countless ordinary people turned into blood foam and rose into the sky like a river of blood.”
“The fundamental reason is that after they came to our world from a ‘high-energy’ world, they were unable to adapt to the environment and instinctively wanted to replenish energy.”
“From this point on, some crazy practitioners concluded that ‘people’ are also energy, and conducted a series of experiments, including refining flesh and blood such as cattle and sheep.”
“I don’t know the specific process, but as the blood refining method spread, the whole world fell into a dark age for five years.”
“You must know that there were 1.5 countries in the world at that time, with a population of more than 3 billion. However, after those innately awakened people suppressed the chaos and established a global federation, only more than 2 billion people remained.”
Chen Chu suddenly took a breath of cold air and felt the endless smell of blood coming towards him.
Nearly one billion people died abnormally in ten years. This was such a desperate and dark era, and it is impossible to describe the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
But then Chen Chu frowned: "That's not right, nearly one billion people died. How come I haven't seen this information on the Internet?"
Xia Youhui spread his hands: "Of course it was erased. The technology of that era was much backward than now, and the information was not as advanced as it is now."
“In this case, there were massacres of cities and towns in some places, which spread thousands of miles away and turned into rumors. Most people just regarded it as gossip.”
“Almost all the people who witnessed and experienced it with their own eyes died, and a small number of them were the troops and strong practitioners who went to suppress it.”
“In this case, after decades of official downplaying this period of history, almost no ordinary people remember these things.”
“People today only know that that time was very chaotic, with giant beasts appearing everywhere to devour humans, and military missiles from various places bombed many people to death.”
“At the same time, this is one of the reasons why the government has such strict control over the practice, public opinion, and practitioners, so as to avoid this situation from happening again.”
“I know this because my brother broke through to the Seventh Heaven last year. He accidentally let it slip in his excitement. He told me this after I pressed him.”
“I was completely stunned when I heard that hundreds of millions of people were ‘eaten’ by those crazy cultivators.” When he said this, Xia Youhui’s face became very ugly.
Chen Chu took a long breath and said in a deep voice: "So, the blood type is the cannibalism technique back then?"
“Yes, but not quite.”
Xia Youhui nodded: "Many of those lunatics back then were also innately awakened, and they created many kinds of terrifying magic techniques that involved large-scale blood refining and even massacre of cities."
“Blood seed is just one of them. It is said that this technique has the origin of a blood god. The strong man who mastered the origin split tens of thousands of blood seeds and gave them to ordinary people.”
Chen Chu suddenly said: "The supreme **** of the Blood God Sect, Akunus." "That should be him." Xia Youhui nodded solemnly.
“These people deserve to die.” Killing intent appeared in Chen Chu’s eyes.
It is normal for cultivators to fight over ideas and have grudges and fights, but no one can tolerate the behavior of 'eating' fellow cultivators.
Even though Chen Chu had never seen the so-called Blood God, he was still full of hostility towards this unknown strong man named Akunus.
…
The population of Lestru urban area is more than 700,000. Including the villages and towns under its jurisdiction, the population exceeds 1 million.
In this case, more than 20 special warriors trying to find traces of believers and lurking blood followers among millions of people are like looking for a needle in a haystack.
But this problem is easy to solve.
After knowing that blood followers had to kill people if they wanted to quickly improve their strength, many students came to the local law enforcement bureau, including Chen Chu and the others.
As special warriors, they easily gain access to recent death cases.
However, due to the previous rebel incident, a lot of information is currently missing. The newly established General Law Enforcement Administration only has homicide information from the last week.
“Holy shit, everyone, line up, come one by one.” Liu Feng spread his arms and motioned to the classmates behind him not to crowd.
Sitting in front of the computer, Bai Wei, reading the information, shouted in unison: "Don't worry, everyone, there is only one computer. I will get out of the way when I determine a goal."
Soon it was Chen Chu's turn
Chen Chu reminded: "Lao Xia, exclude those who died of illness and old age, and focus on those who died unexpectedly in recent days."
With his mind's eye perception and his five senses that become stronger as his body increases, Chen Chu is confident that he can detect the vampire as long as he appears within a dozen meters of him.
"I see."
“Yes, there was a death case here the day before yesterday. The deceased were two adults. When their bodies were found, their bodies were withered and yellow, hiding in a ditch.”
“Okay, okay, it’s our turn.”
As soon as Xia Youhui set a target, he was urged to get out of the way by the classmates behind him. All of them were eager to eliminate harm for the people.
More than half an hour later, the two people appeared in the suburbs. Their eyes swept across the low and dilapidated brick houses in front of them, the narrow and broken roads and the debris and garbage on both sides.
Not far away, several old men with dark skin and tattered clothes sat at the door, their eyes lifeless.
Chen Chu’s first impression here was that it was dirty, dilapidated, and desperate, without a trace of modern civilization.
It is conceivable that the original Koroya royal family deserved a lot of death. No wonder they were overthrown by the rebels. It is a pity that those people should not get involved with the evil cult.
Otherwise, even if they overthrew the Koroya royal family, the Federation would not intervene.
Of course, Chen Chu knew that his idea was a bit taken for granted. After all, the Koluoya royal family controlled the cultivation techniques and military power, and these ordinary people had no power to resist.
This is also the reason why the evil cult can secretly develop here. In despair, ordinary people will not let go of hope, even if the power is poisonous.
However, the government here is now supported by the federal government, and it should gradually develop in line with international standards.
“Let’s go.” Chen Chu strode in with Xia Youhui following behind.
The alloy boots made a dull sound when they stepped on the ground. When the two people walked by, the old man sitting at the door just looked at them weakly.
Old people basking in the sun, their children hiding behind doors and secretly observing their children, insects crawling along underground ropes, rats rummaging for food under the **** heap.
Everything around you is invisible to the mind’s eye.
There are more later
