Chapter 84 Dark Ages
Chen Chu and Xia Youhui, wearing armor and carrying heavy weapons, stood at the street corner and were very conspicuous. Passersby couldn't help but take a second look at them.
With the Federation defeating the rebels and suppressing the remnants two days ago, the city of Lestrup has regained some vitality.
For example, there are obviously many more pedestrians on the street, and vehicles pass by from time to time. Some shops and restaurants on both sides are also open.
However, after the meeting, Xia Youhui's face has been very ugly.
Chen Chu couldn't help but wonder: "Old Xia, are you constipated this morning? Why do you have a stinky face all the time?"
Xia Youhui smiled bitterly: "My face is ugly because of the blood species."
"Didn't they say that the ones spread out are ordinary blood species, and they can't break through the third heaven if they are allowed to develop. What's there to worry about?" Chen Chu frowned.
"It's mainly because the blood species reminded me of some bad things."
"What is it?"
Xia Youhui looked solemn: "Under normal circumstances, after we practitioners enter the first level, we absorb the extraordinary energy between heaven and earth to improve ourselves."
"But at the beginning more than 50 years ago, the energy of heaven and earth in all parts of the world was even poorer than Koroya, and practitioners might not be able to break through the second level for ten years."
"Then someone came up with the "eat people" method, and the reference objects were the giant beasts that first descended that year."
"When the new era began, giant beasts often descended. The most famous one was the world-destroying giant python that appeared in the Aohdi Sea, entrenched in the sky above the city and swallowed millions of people in one bite. →"
"It is said that the sky was covered by a huge swallowing mouth at that time, 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 the world of 'high energy', they could not adapt to the environment and instinctively wanted to replenish energy. "
"From this point, some crazy practitioners determined that 'people' are also energy, and conducted a series of experiments, including refining the flesh and blood of cattle and sheep. "
"I don't know the specific process, but as the blood refining method spread, the whole world fell into a five-year dark age. "
"You should know that there were 150 countries and regions in the world at that time, with a population of more than 3 billion, but after those innate awakeners suppressed the chaos and established the Global Federation, there were only more than 2 billion people left. "
Chen Chu took a breath of cold air and felt an endless bloody breath coming towards him.
In ten years, almost one billion people died abnormally. What a desperate and dark era this was, and the mountains of corpses and seas of blood could not be described.
But then Chen Chu frowned: "That's not right. How come there's no such information on the Internet about the death of nearly one billion people?"
Xia Youhui spread his hands: "Of course it was erased. The technology in that era was much more backward than it is now, and the information was not as developed as it is now."
"In this situation, some places saw massacres of cities and towns, and they became rumors thousands of miles away. Most people just treated it as gossip."
"And almost all the people who witnessed and experienced it died, and a small number of them were the army and cultivators who went to suppress it.
"In this situation, after the official downplaying this history for decades, almost no ordinary people remember these things."
"Nowadays, people only know that the period was very chaotic, with giant beasts appearing everywhere to devour humans, and military missiles bombings from all over the country killed many people."
"At the same time, this is also one of the reasons why the official control of cultivation techniques, fishing reels, and cultivators is so strict to avoid such a situation from happening again."
"I know this because my brother broke through the seventh level last year and let it slip in excitement. He told me this when I asked him about it. "
"I was stunned when I heard it. Hundreds of millions of people were "eaten" by those crazy practitioners." At this point, Xia Youhui's face was very ugly.
Chen Chu let out a long breath and said in a deep voice: "So, the blood seed is the cannibalistic skill of the year?"
"Yes, but not all."
Xia Youhui nodded: "Many of those crazy people were also innate awakeners, and they created many kinds of large-scale blood refining and even city-massacre horrible magic skills."
"The blood seed is just one of them. It is said that this skill has a blood god origin. The strong man who mastered the origin split tens of thousands of blood seeds and gave them to ordinary people. "
"Finally, when those people's strength increased to a certain level, the strong man took back all his power and became a terrifying existence in a very short time."
Chen Chu suddenly said: "The Supreme God of the Blood God Cult, Akunus."
"It should be it." Xia Youhui nodded seriously.
"These people, damn it. "Chen Chu's eyes showed murderous intent.
It is normal for practitioners to have ideological struggles and fights over grudges, but no one can tolerate the behavior of "eating" fellow practitioners.
Even though Chen Chu had never seen the so-called blood color, he was full of hostility towards the unknown strong man named Akunus.
…………
The population of the Lestru urban area is more than 700,000, plus the villages and towns under its jurisdiction, the population exceeds one million.
In this case, more than 20 special forces soldiers want to find the traces of believers and lurking blood followers among a million people, which is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.
But this problem is easy to solve.
After knowing that the blood followers want to quickly improve their strength, they have to kill people, many students, including Chen Chu and others, came to the local law enforcement bureau.
As special forces soldiers, they easily obtained the authority to browse recent death cases.
However, due to the previous rebel incident, many data are currently missing, and the newly established law enforcement bureau only has the murder data of the past week.
"Damn, everyone line up, come one by one." Liu Feng spread his arms and signaled the students behind him not to squeeze.
Sitting in front of the computer, Bai Mu, who was reading the information, shouted in coordination: "Don't worry, there is only one computer, I will get out of the way when I determine a target."
Soon it was Chen Chu and the other person's turn
Chen Chu reminded: "Old Xia, exclude those who died of illness and old age, and focus on those who died in recent days."
With his mind's perception, and his five senses that became stronger as his physique improved, Chen Chu was confident that he would be able to find the blood disciples as long as they appeared within a dozen meters of him.
"I understand."
"Got it. A death case occurred here the day before yesterday. The deceased were two adults. When the bodies were found, they were all withered and yellow and hidden in the ditch."
"Okay, okay, it's our turn."
As soon as Xia Youhui determined a target, he was urged to get out of the way by the students behind him. Every guy couldn't wait to get rid of the harm for the people.
More than half an hour later, the two appeared in the suburbs, their eyes swept over the low and dilapidated brick houses in front of them, the narrow and dilapidated roads and the debris and garbage on both sides.
Not far away, several old men with dark skin and ragged clothes sat at the door, their eyes dead.
The first impression Chen Chu had here was that it was dirty, dilapidated, desperate, and without a trace of modern civilization.
It is conceivable how damnable the original Koroya royal family was. No wonder it was overthrown by the rebels. It's a pity that those people shouldn't have mixed with the evil god cult.
Otherwise, even if they overthrew the Koroya royal family, the Federation would not intervene.
"Let's go." Chen Chu strode in, and Xia Youhui followed behind.
The alloy-cast combat boots made a dull sound when stepping on the ground. When the two walked by, the old man sitting at the door just looked at them weakly.
The old man basking in the sun, hiding behind the door and secretly looking at their children, the insects crawling on the ground, the garbage dump
Everything around was visible under the perception of the mind's eyes.
