One Thousand One Hundred and Ninety, Never Seen the World
There was darkness in the wide sewers, and the deep hole seemed to suck all the light out.
No wonder Meg was afraid. Even a veteran like Qian Weining had to do a good job of psychological construction in advance and take a deep breath before going in.
Chen Jingshu was calm, because she knew where the sewer leads to.
Ren Xiaosu realized that the entire bounty hunter organization had already played a pivotal role in the underground world of Ghent City, and they were very familiar with it.
He looked at the sewer outlet and asked curiously: "Wait a minute, this is a sewer built with modern technology. Although it is very old, the problem is that the wizarding country doesn't have this kind of technology."
On the wall of the sewer hole, the concrete has been corroded so badly that even the steel bars inside are exposed.
This was the first time Ren Xiaosu had seen a reinforced concrete building in the wizarding kingdom, just as novel as when he saw the ruins of human civilization in Jingshan.
Therefore, the entire city of Ghent was built on the basis of a human city before the cataclysm, which made Ren Xiaosu somewhat unexpected.
Moreover, he was even more surprised that the sewer could be preserved for so long.
In theory, the service life of reinforced concrete is very high and there is no upper limit.
But in fact, as long as these buildings are exposed to the air, they will naturally be affected by oxidation, weathering, rain and snow, and if the steel bars inside the concrete rot, they will be damaged faster.
Therefore, this sewer must have a high level of construction technology before the disaster, otherwise it will not last 200 years.
Chen Jingshu looked at Ren Xiaosu and said, "Is this kind of construction technique all over China?"
"Basically, it's all in the walls," Ren Xiaosu nodded. "At least it's more practical than masonry buildings."
Chen Jingshu said: "Actually, when the cataclysm came, most people in the wizarding country lived in this underground city. Everyone turned the original bomb shelter into a new home and lived in it."
The people around listened quietly, and even Qian Weining heard about these things for the first time. These are all past events that the wizarding organization no longer wants to mention.
Chen Jingshu continued: "After the catastrophe passed, the wizards took everyone back to the ground to rebuild the surface home. At first, they got along quite well, but when Russell died, the wizarding organization began to intensify the exploitation of ordinary people.
So the human group after the cataclysm was divided. "
When everyone was underground, everyone united in order to fight against the cruel cataclysmic period. Although there was injustice at that time, it was at least passable to have Russell and the new wizarding forces around him.
Because of Russell's personal charm, everyone is willing to take him as a leader and trust him to handle things fairly.
At that time, Russell even established a post-disaster temporary committee underground and set up a temporary underground court. Even if a wizard broke the law and bullied ordinary people, he would still be punished.
And what's more cruel is that if the wizard breaks the law, the Eye of True Sight will be confiscated directly.
Wizards without True Sight are the same as ordinary people.
At that time, various wizards and old nobles also wanted to fight against Russell, but they couldn't beat Russell before the cataclysm, let alone after the cataclysm.
These old nobles couldn't even support themselves, so they couldn't raise so many sons. Without the soil of blood following witchcraft, they could only be hung up and beaten by Russell.
Therefore, after everyone returns to the surface, the reason why everyone wants to kill Russell is that they know that as long as Russell is still there, the old wizard nobles will never turn over.
At that time, Russell had already started planning for the wizarding school. If he was allowed to break the class barrier between wizards and ordinary people, the bloodline system of wizarding nobles would naturally be disintegrated.
In order not to surrender their exclusive witchcraft and to ensure the continuation of the bloodline, the nobles instigated Russell's servant Voss to poison Russell.
As soon as Russell died, the new wizarding forces naturally dissipated, and most of those who survived died in the siege of the old nobles.
When the exploitation system was re-established, some people could not bear to be oppressed, so they had a huge disagreement with the old wizard nobles.
In order not to be killed, they returned to the underground world and continued to survive in the dark world.
The people from the church organization also followed everyone back to the underground that time.
Chen Jingshu looked at Ren Xiaosu and said, "The days of hiding underground are hard, the old wizards and nobles came down to encircle and suppress them many times at first, and everyone must avoid their pursuit. Fortunately, the underground world is large enough, and they are not very good. Look for our traces. Later, everyone found out that it’s okay to live underground, and gradually the materials have become abundant, and the surface and the underground have become two completely independent operating systems.”
"Then why did you suddenly come out now? I think you must have made a big move, right?" Ren Xiaosu asked curiously, "What made you take the risk, even if you lost your life."
"Because the underground building facilities are close to decay," Chen Jingshu said. "According to estimates, if the ground lasts for at most twenty years, it may collapse. We don't have the means to build and reinforce it, so we can only return to the surface."
"Ao, so before returning to the surface, you have to deal with the old wizards and nobles, or you will die if you come to the surface," Ren Xiaosu nodded.
"Always look for a silver lining," Chen Jingshu sighed: "We all know that this is difficult, but how can we know where the life is if we don't fight for it."
"Now you have found it," Ren Xiaosu said with a smile.
Chen Jingshu said calmly, "You mean to say that you are the ray of life, right?"
"It will be answered quickly, and there will be progress," Ren Xiaosu said, "Without external forces, even if you develop for another two hundred years, you will still be unable to beat these wizards. You can't do such a big thing by relying on those slick-talking wizard family dudes. , you can only rely on external forces."
Chen Anan on the side said stubbornly: "We are also very good."
"It's a pity that you don't have rich fighting experience. It's unrealistic to always hope that the wizards and nobles will transform themselves. How can these vested interests truly help you?" Ren Xiaosu said: "So, you need to let those exploited proletarians Class comrades stand up... Forget it, let's say something is going to happen."
Chen Jingshu was stunned for a moment: "Then why do you say that you are the lifeline, I don't think you have any experience in fighting, and you are unfamiliar here, who are you going to unite with? Besides, I You don't have the time and energy to do these things, knowing that you won't be in the wizarding country for too long at all."
Ren Xiaosu smiled and said, "What Russell did back then, I will do it now."
The so-called Russell's approach, of course, is to first hang up the old nobles and beat them, and then maintain a high degree of consensus with everyone.
However, Ren Xiaosu is more ruthless than Russell. Although he is not good at fighting, he is good at killing people.
Russell didn't kill because he was a member of the wizarding community, but Ren Xiaosu was not. He had no compassion for the wizards from the very beginning, and there was only blood feud between them.
Qian Weining and others listened to the conversation between the two, and then became more and more silent.
Just yesterday, Qian Weining thought that Ren Xiaosu just wanted to kill the wizard, but now he realized that the other party actually wanted to challenge the entire wizarding kingdom.
These two things look a bit similar in process, but the results are very different and the difficulty is different.
Ren Xiaosu turned around and smiled at Qian Weining and the others: "Don't be afraid, even if you fail, you can go to Middle Earth with me. This is the retreat I left for you."
"Master, don't worry too much, as long as the master doesn't betray us, we will naturally follow to the death," Qian Weining hurriedly expressed his loyalty.
At this time, Chen Jingshu went to the side to chop branches, and then asked An An to bring oilcloth and wrap it on the branches and set it on fire.
Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment: "What is this for?"
"Ignition torch," Chen Jingshu said, "be sure to follow me after entering the cave. If you take the torch and go the wrong way, you will either enter some dead areas and be poisoned to death, or you will suddenly explode and kill yourself."
"Death area? Bombed to death?" Ren Xiaosu said in a daze: "Is there any mechanism in this sewer, who set it up?"
Chen Jingshu said: "It may be set up by the people who built this underground city. The explosion always comes suddenly, and I don't know why."
Ren Xiaosu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What kind of mechanism is this? It's clearly that your torches ignited the methane accumulated in the ground, and then caused an explosion."
This huge dungeon must have considered ventilation at the beginning of its design, but after so long, the ventilation facilities have been destroyed and some parts of the interior collapsed, which will definitely cause the problem of methane accumulation. As soon as the torch is close, it is strange that it does not explode.
So this thing is not a mechanism that someone deliberately set up...
Ren Xiaosu said, "Okay, don't light the torch."
He took out more than a dozen strong-light flashlights from the palace and handed them out, and then he took out a tritium lamp as lighting equipment, saying that this tritium lamp was robbed from the Qing family earlier.
Chen Jingshu, Qian Weining and the others held their flashlights with bewildered expressions: "What is this?"
"Push the switch," Ren Xiaosu demonstrated for them, and saw a beam of light shining into the sewer, which suddenly illuminated a distance of dozens of meters, and the entire sewer was as bright as day.
Chen Jingshu was immediately startled: "What is this?!"
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu suddenly had the illusion that a high-level civilization was crushing a low-level civilization...
He explained patiently: "This is technology. A device that uses electricity as an energy source to provide lighting effects. If a flashlight is only turned on at the lowest level, it should be able to have dozens of hours of lighting time."
Qian Weining looked at the flashlight in his hand, as if he had found a treasure: "Master, you gave us such a precious thing to use?"
Ren Xiaosu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What kind of precious item is this? In Middle-earth, this is the standard for combat troops! You really don't know much about Middle-earth, and under the control of the wizarding organization, you don't know much about technology."
"Is Middle-earth so magical?" Qian Weining said with emotion. At this moment, he had the urge to go to Middle-earth to see it.
Ren Xiaosu said with a smile: "A flashlight with a strong light can surprise you, then how amazed you are when you see things like cameras, tap water, TV sets, etc. Don't worry, even if you need to stay in Daxing Northwest Branch in the future, You can also go to Middle-earth often."
The Wizarding Kingdom is only 1,000 kilometers away from Fort 178. It is not so out of reach in the face of modern transportation. If you drive a steam train at full speed, it will take ten hours.
At this time, Chen Jingshu looked at the tritium lamp in Ren Xiaosu's hand: "Then what is this in your hand?"
"This thing is called a tritium lamp," Ren Xiaosu said. "It uses radioactive substances as lighting energy, and can last for 20 years or even longer without damage."
"Wow! 20 years?!" All the people around exclaimed.
For a moment, Ren Xiaosu felt like he was facing a group of curious babies.
He silently looked at the group of curious babies, and then took out a military binoculars and handed it to Qian Weining: "Come on, try it, this thing can let you see very far."
"Wow! It's so clear!" Qian Weining exclaimed, "What is this amazing thing?!"
Chen Jingshu took the telescope and found that she could even see details hundreds of meters away through this weird tool!
"Is this the technology of Middle-earth," Chen Jingshu murmured.
Everyone passed the telescope to play, and then one by one exclaimed from the heart.
"I just like the way you have never seen the world," Ren Xiaosu said with a smile.
This made Chen Jingshu and others uncomfortable, but they didn't know how to refute...
Ren Xiaosu glanced at them, then took out a pistol, put on a silencer, and fired a shot at the sparrow flying in the sky.
I saw that the sparrow was beaten and its feathers were scattered, and it fell straight to the ground.
"Wow, so powerful?" The people around were amazed again.
Ren Xiaosu asked Qian Weining to pick up the sparrow: "Look at the sparrow's wound."
Qian Weining checked it and found that the sparrow's body had been pierced through, and its flesh was blurred.
He said in astonishment: "Master, is this the weapon of Middle-earth?"
Qian Weining is 31 years old this year, so he has not participated in the war 17 years ago, but he has heard of Middle-Turkish weapons.
But at that time, when he heard others describe firearms, he was a little skeptical, and it wasn't until this moment that he understood how ruthless this thing was.
"It's on the edge of Ghent City, so I can't let you see the power of other weapons. The pistol is just the least powerful one," Ren Xiaosu explained, "Its characteristic is that its accuracy is much higher than that of bows and arrows, and its power is also Much higher than bows and arrows, and extremely fast, almost impossible to dodge."
Chen Jingshu said: "This thing is much more powerful than Xiujian."
For example, people like Chen Jingshu and Qian Weining can understand the difference between firearms and bows and arrows in an instant, while Mego, Li Gaocheng, and Liu Ting can only stay at "Amazing!" "Wow!" "Fuck!" At this stage, they know that this thing is powerful, but they still don't know how powerful it is...
Ren Xiaosu put the pistol into Qian Weining's hand: "I have the opportunity to take you to practice marksmanship in the past few days. After you are familiar with it, I will equip each of you with one, and then each with 100 rounds of ammunition."
Qian Weining was immediately moved: "Master, can you give us this too? You are so generous!"
"Ahem, you've all sworn allegiance, of course I can't hide it," Ren Xiaosu said.
Chen Jingshu hesitated for a moment: "Can you sell me one, I can pay for it, is a hundred gold coins enough?"
To be honest, at this moment, Ren Xiaosu really wanted to make an arms deal with the wizarding kingdom. How could a mediocre pistol be exchanged for a hundred gold coins here? This is so much money!
However, Ren Xiaosu did not accept the deal in the end, but gave Chen Jingshu one directly. He put the pistol into the other party's hand and said, "I can give it away for free, but before I teach you to shoot, you should not use it, it is easy to cause accidents. Yes, you must remember that this thing is extremely dangerous, and the muzzle of the gun should never be aimed at your own people."
The reason why Ren Xiaosu suddenly thought of handing out guns to these people was because he suddenly felt that he might have taken some detours before.
What he thought before was to set up the first wizard knights. This kind of powerful magic artillery regiment is like a bomber. Thinking about it, it is strong, and it doesn't cost money or waste arms.
But then Ren Xiaosu thought, anyway, pistols and automatic rifles are not worth much, and bullets are not worth much, so why didn't he arm these people into modern troops before they became wizards?
With an automatic rifle and a heavy machine gun, isn't the cavalry hanging up and fighting? If you find favorable terrain, it will be no problem for more than 100 people to hang and beat thousands of cavalry?
Moreover, on the way to the north, Qian Weining also revealed a unique skill: the dense position ranging method!
This thing sounds mysterious, but it is actually a thumbs up as a secret reference to measure the enemy's distance.
In other words, Qian Weining is simply a natural artillery piece... With a little training, he can run around carrying a long-distance mortar. Although it is a physical attack, it is not much different from witchcraft. No, and it's much more ruthless than those little wizards...
Even Ren Xiaosu didn't dare to say that he could ignore the artillery fire, at most he just avoided the ballistics. If a cannonball hit him, he would have died.
Something that even Ren Xiaosu was afraid of, let alone wizards.
Therefore, before the establishment of the Wizarding Knights, it is better to establish the first modern army in the wizarding country, anyway, he has the arms...
"Let's go, go ahead and talk about it," Ren Xiaosu said.
Chen Jingshu held a bright flashlight to lead the way in front. Everyone's footsteps stepped on the sewage and made a clattering sound. The sound echoed in the pipeline, which sounded extraordinarily abrupt.
Ren Xiaosu looked at the wall of the sewer, and saw some strange graffiti, some in Chinese, some in wizard language, those with colorful words, like a special spiritual symbol.
He couldn't read wizard language, but he could read Chinese.
The words "freedom, resistance" were written on the wall, accompanied by flamboyant and eccentric patterns.
Ren Xiaosu asked, "Who wrote this?"
"Of course they are underground residents," Chen Jingshu said. "It's just casual graffiti. I heard that before the catastrophe, everyone liked to graffiti on the walls."
"I heard before that the Norman family killed all the underground people in order to find Donnelly?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
"Almost," Chen Jingshu said calmly, "I probably killed half of them, but after more than a hundred years, they are no longer familiar with the underground situation, so the new hiding place we found was not discovered by them. It was that incident that made us determined to go to the surface and no longer be slaughtered by others."
Ren Xiaosu used tritium lamps to illuminate the walls on both sides, and suddenly felt that the graffiti had a strange chaotic beauty.
Going forward, the scene in front of them suddenly became brighter, and a wider underground world appeared in front of everyone: a huge spillway that can drive tanks, scattered steps, and there is an unusual amount of steel overhead.
The accumulation of decay on the steel was so thick that Ren Xiaosu suspected that those things would be shattered into pieces with a little touch.
Chen Jingshu followed his gaze, and then explained: "Those things above the head are probably pipes before the cataclysm, and no one has touched them for a long time."
Ren Xiaosu was amazed and sighed that this place is like an abandoned underground factory, full of tough mystery.
There are also those colorful graffiti that can be seen everywhere, more of which have become portraits, such as angels with withered wings, such as the back of a certain person, such as crows and tigers.
The pattern here does not have any clear rules, as if someone draws something on it when they think of it.
Chen Jingshu said: "Actually, these patterns have hidden secrets, including some route instructions. As long as a few underground people can understand them, these people are underground leaders."
"So you can understand that you are also one of the leaders?" Ren Xiaosu asked curiously.
"I'm not, but Chen An'an and Chen Cheng's father are," Chen Jingshu explained.
Ren Xiaosu was thinking at this time, if the underground people really wanted to resist the spirit, would he have enough weapons to arm a resistance army?
Chen Jingshu and the others have never seen modern weapons, so they feel that there must be enough wizards to overthrow wizards. After all, ordinary people can't fight wizards.
But Ren Xiaosu felt that this matter didn't seem so complicated...
Are modern hot weapons enough to slaughter gods, let alone a group of false gods?
Ren Xiaosu touched the paint on the wall: "This is not ordinary paint, but ground from minerals, right? Only in this way can they maintain such bright colors underground."
Ordinary pigments cannot be preserved for a long time, especially when exposed to dirty air. Unlike mineral pigments, the decay period of minerals is much longer than that of ordinary pigments.
Hearing Ren Xiaosu's question, Chen Jingshu's expression changed immediately, and she chose to avoid the question.
Ren Xiaosu continued: "So on the basis of the original underground world, you continued to excavate more space to find these colorful minerals, otherwise such things would not have appeared in the original sewers. The reason why the Norman family failed to encircle and suppress them. It came to you because they didn't know that you dug up other spaces, such as the second, third, and fourth floors underground."
Chen Jingshu frowned: "I underestimate you a bit."
"Don't be so surprised," Ren Xiaosu said with a smile, "When my companions come here, they will refresh your knowledge."
Immediately afterwards, when they moved forward a few hundred meters, a voice suddenly came from the front: "Who? Report your identity!"
"Monday, the gods fell," Chen Jingshu replied with a code.
Behind Ren Xiaosu, Qian Weining took a few steps forward and stood in front of the new owner to be on guard. He swept away the beam of the flashlight, and a young man with tattoos all over his face appeared.
Chen Jingshu explained to Ren Xiaosu: "People who have tattoos on their faces are people who can no longer integrate into the surface city. They are the guardians of the entire underground world."
Ren Xiaosu suddenly felt that the underground world of Ghent City was more like a product of the Wasteland Era than any place he had seen before.
