Chapter 799 People's Hearts Are Not Old, and the World Is Getting Worse
"Have you found Queen Himiko?" Jiang Hao continued to interrogate.
"Not yet. The Yamatai King City is built across the canyon. The situation in the canyon is very complicated, and some places are very dangerous. Mr. Vogel is organizing people to enter, and the survivors and aborigines seem to worship Queen Himiko very much. Their There are a lot of people, and they often attack us, making our progress slower." Said the mercenary.
The people of the Holy Trinity organization, the natives and survivors of Himiko's believers, Queen Himiko, and perhaps her undead warriors, as well as myself and Laura, the situation here is really chaotic.
Jiang Hao asked some other questions. From the mouth of the mercenary, Jiang Hao already understood everything. He tapped his acupoints again and carried him on his shoulder. "Laura, wait for me here for a while."
Jiang Hao came back after leaving for about 5 minutes, and then began to organize the mercenary's things.
Laura looked at Jiang Hao, hesitated, but finally asked, "Jon, what did you do to him?"
Jiang Hao looked up at Laura, "Kill it."
"But he...is no longer a threat to us." Laura asked after thinking about it.
Jiang Hao stood up, put a hand on Laura's shoulder lightly, looked into Laura's eyes and said: "Laura, you must know that this world is dangerous, you can trust your friends or partners, but never Trust in the mercy of the enemy."
It was the first time for Laura to experience this kind of thing, and she still couldn't accept it. A living person, a life, was killed so simply, which is unimaginable in the world.
"When you encounter an enemy in the future, you have to make a decision as soon as possible. Either kill him or run away. There is no third way, or the most tragic ending will be left to you."
Jiang Hao said here, with a smile on his face, put away the serious expression just now, and said to Laura: "Take this gun with you, it can hold two pistols, and I will give you this M9 too, if you have a gun Take you to use bow and arrow better."
Laura nodded, and took the belt and pistol from Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao went back to the equipment, took off his own clothes, and put on the camouflage uniform and tactical vest of the mercenary just now. The two of them were about the same size, and Jiang Hao still fit them well.
Turning around, I saw that Laura was also finished. There were two guns on her waist, a bow and arrow on her back, an arrow from a quiver on her back, and a climbing pick hanging beside her. The version of Laura has been prepared, and the next step is to see how to train.
"Come on, let's go and investigate," Jiang Hao said.
The two headed towards the ruins of the Yamatai Imperial City. Through the jungle, Jiang Hao saw a ridge next to him and took Laura up to the ridge. The two of them lay on the grass by the side of the mountain and looked out. There are various wooden buildings on both sides of the canyon, but many of them have collapsed or broken, and the entire city stretches to the top of the opposite mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, the two saw a base surrounded by mercenaries with rifles. A group of people were working and building facilities to pass through the canyon. There were about a hundred people. The distance between Jiang Hao and Laura was about 200 meters. about.
At this moment, Laura saw one of the laborers suddenly fall, and the wooden stake in his hand fell suddenly, hitting his leg, and the painful man clutched his leg and wailed.
But those mercenaries didn't care about this guy's life and death, and pushed him hard twice with their guns, telling him to get up and continue working. At this moment, those working people quit, and some people made a fuss, and all the mercenaries raised their guns Aim at these disobedient survivors.
"We are human beings too, we just drifted here, you can't treat us like this." Someone shouted.
"Yeah, why should we work for you and be abused by you, quit." Others also shouted.
At this moment, a forty-year-old man with a short beard came out. Although he was far away, Jiang Hao could still see that this man was the person in charge of Holy Trinity's operation. The big boss Vogel in the movie you.
Vogel looked at the injured man, glanced coldly at the troublemakers, suddenly pulled out the pistol at his waist, and shot twice at the injured man who fell to the ground, and the Asian man was shot and died tragically.
Vogel kept moving, and turned his gun and pointed it at the first guy in the crowd who made trouble, and that guy suddenly showed a look of horror on his face.
"boom!"
Vogel shot directly without any hesitation, and the instigator suddenly had a blood hole in his head, and fell to the ground with a plop.
Vogel's actions frightened many people, and the little resistance that had been born was immediately suppressed.
"Everyone is working. If you can't meet your goals, you will have no food tonight." Vogel shouted.
Those people know that they are powerless to resist, so let's endure it first, and then go back to work silently.
Laura witnessed the whole incident with her own eyes, and she was extremely shocked. It turned out that this is the real world, and it will immediately become violent and cruel after breaking away from the shackles of the law.
Jiang Hao glanced at Laura, and said in his ear: "You wait for me here, I'll go down to check the situation and see what the other party wants to do."
"Then be careful." Laura said.
Now these people under the mountain have become extremely dangerous guys in Laura's eyes.
Jiang Hao went down the mountain and sneaked over. When approaching the camp, he took out a box of oil paint from his combat vest and smeared it on himself a few times. He immediately turned into a painted face. Jiang Hao walked into the base with a rifle in his hand.
When entering the 100-meter security circle, a mercenary saw Jiang Hao. Jiang Hao's movements were very natural, without any tension at all. He just walked a dozen meters away from him, and the other party did not have any doubts.
When he came to the inside of the base, several tents were set up here. Jiang Hao looked around and stepped into a tent.
This tent is a warehouse. There are a lot of supplies in it. Boxes are piled up in several corners. Jiang Hao looked at it, and there are cans, various foods, ammunition supplies, and explosives. Jiang Hao even saw two RPGs. Bazooka and two boxes of warheads, shit, these are good things, Jiang Hao just packed them up and took them away.
As for the others, Jiang Hao took some of the suitable ones, and finally filled up the golden space that was not much free.
Looking at this large amount of supplies, he sighed in his heart, these people really prepared enough, it was no less than a military operation, and in the storm, they could keep so many things, it should be that Holy Trinity got more detailed information about For the information inside Yamatai, specific preparations have been made, such as all equipment pretending to be floating rafts and other means.
Outside another big tent, Jiang Hao listened to the movement and guessed that it should be a place similar to a mercenary barracks. When passing by the tent, he glanced inside through the open window, and it was really a barracks living area.
Jiang Hao immediately came to another tent. At this time, someone was talking inside the tent. Jiang Hao could hear it clearly only through a layer of tarpaulin. He heard a familiar voice.
"Mr. Vogel, I can tell you about Himiko, but I hope you will stop killing people indiscriminately, and you can adopt a more rational solution." Professor Jones said.
Jiang Haoxin said that Professor Jones still fell into Vogel's hands. It seems that the mercenary he captured didn't know the situation very well.
Vogel smiled chicly, and said: "Okay, as long as those people don't riot, I won't kill people casually, Professor Jones, let's continue to study Queen Himiko, I believe that as long as we fully understand her, we will definitely To be able to defeat her, you must know that this is not the ancient times 1700 years ago. The queen had the power to control nature and was almost invincible in that era, but in modern times, a random missile can kill her, and she has no ability to rule The world or the world will be destroyed, with the current guns and missiles, I believe we will defeat her and get what we want," Vogel said.
"Perhaps yes. In this era, guns and missiles are more powerful than magic and witchcraft. It is no longer possible for those who possess so-called mysterious powers to become the kings of the world by virtue of these powers." Professor Jones said in a slightly downcast voice.
But Jiang Hao outside the tent, a word popped into his mind, the end of the Dharma era.
After the prosperity of science and technology, some things will inevitably be touched. Many of the so-called mysterious powers in the past have been revealed and decrypted. Even if they have not been decrypted, their influence on the world has become smaller and smaller, which is less and less surprising.
In the past, people thought that calling the wind and calling the rain was something that only gods could do, but now humans can do it by themselves.
I used to think that gods can fly thousands of miles in a day, but now, they can fly tens of thousands of miles in a day.
In the past, gods could enjoy winter flowers and summer ice, but now they can be seen everywhere, and ordinary people can enjoy them.
In the past, Chang'e flew to the moon, and now satellites fly to the moon. There used to be magicians who exorcised ghosts and evil spirits, and now everyone wants to meet a female ghost.
Hey, people's hearts are not old, and the world is getting worse!
"In that case, what do you want?" Teacher Jones asked.
"The secret of reincarnation and rebirth, as you know, each of us desires to live forever. If we can't achieve something, reincarnation and rebirth are also good. When you are about to die, find a suitable physical body to reincarnate, get a new life, and retain the previous memory , This kind of eternal life is also very good." Vogel said with a smile.
Professor Jones shook his head, "It's not easy to do. I have studied those monks in XZ of China. It is said that their highest practitioners have the ability to reincarnate and reincarnate, but one of them accidentally lost their souls. So every time they will choose to reincarnate as a baby, starting from scratch, as for the specific situation, I don’t know, that is the top secret of their religion.”
"I believe that we will find the answer." Vogel said firmly.
At this time, Professor Jones suddenly asked, "Mr. Vogel, those students of mine were captured by the aborigines. Did you help me ask them how they would deal with them?"
Vogel nodded, "The aborigines here, as well as the survivors who have been here for a long time, seem to have turned into followers of Queen Himiko."
"I asked, and they said that those male students either became villagers or were sacrificed to Sun Queen Himiko. As for your female student, they will be sent to the Temple of the Ruins to let Queen Himiko test whether they are suitable for reincarnation. Unsuitable, oh, women who might become those survivors, turned into catharsis and reproductive tools."
Jiang Haoxin outside said that those Japanese students and Rie Momotani were taken away by the survivors. No wonder the mercenary he caught didn't know about it, and he was wronged. I'm really sorry.
Standing outside the tent, Jiang Hao pondered whether he should kill Vogel and rescue Professor Jones, but after thinking about it, he vetoed this idea again.
In the ruins of the imperial city, I don’t know how many dangers there are. It’s better to let these people explore the way first, and I and Laura are alone, just follow behind. In the past, Holy Trinity was the person behind the scenes, forcing Laura was exploring ahead, and now she can turn them around and let them do coolies first.
As for treasures and the like, if you get it, you lose your life, Jiang Hao will not force it.
In fact, it doesn't matter even if Vogel gets it. He thinks it's much easier to grab Vogel's things than to deal with several groups of forces alone.
The praying mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind, why do I rush to the front in a daze, why not let the Holy Trinity people fight those fanatical survivors and undead warriors first.
