A Viper transport plane landed on the bare field, and two soldiers wearing exoskeletons jumped off the side of the cabin.
The two were soldiers of the Guards Regiment.
There are active tasks for players, usually they provide support and assistance.
These soldiers were elite soldiers selected from other corpses, and all of them had received injections of inducing serum expression, and they were awakened without exception.
There is a saying on the forum that they are all the eyes of managers.
However, some players don’t think so. After all, who can be more like the eyes of managers than the hardworking mission experts?
Looking at the plane with arcs sprayed at the tail, Kong Lingkai's eyes were full of greed, and he thought in his heart that it would be great if he could buy one.
This thing must be much more comfortable sitting than his broken wood.
The two soldiers ignored the guy. One of them walked straight to the corpse of the mutant who was thrown on the ground, and the other walked to Lao Bai and saluted.
We came to recycle the body of the mutant ‘Og’ at the order of the administrator.
The right fist hit the chestplate and Lao Bai said concisely.
I've seen it in the mission briefing, and I'll leave the rest to you.
learn!
The soldier nodded and was about to turn around when Lao Bai suddenly thought of something and spoke.
By the way, are you going back to Dawn City directly?
Yes.
Seeing the soldier nodding, Lao Bai quickly continued to ask.
Is it convenient to take a ride?How many of us are going back here.
The soldier was stunned for a moment and said after hesitating for a moment.
I have to ask the manager for instructions...
After saying that, he turned around and returned to the plane, connected to the communication base station of the outpost at the provincial junction through the on-board radio, and contacted the shelter.
After a while, he walked back.
The manager said yes.
Very good.Lao Bai smiled and nodded, looking at the Xinghe standing beside him, "Friend, your mission."
Xinghe was stunned.
Ah?!Is this... OK?
What's so good about this? Anyway, there are so many empty seats, five or six people can still sit down.Looking at Xinghe who was still hesitating, Lao Bai patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "The managers agree, don't be polite."
As he said that, he looked at the awakened farmer who was sitting next to the mosquito attack aircraft.
By the way, you have no objection to the release of someone, right?
Unexpectedly, the man wearing iron lumps would talk to him. Kong Lingkai, who came to his senses, was startled and shook his head quickly, fearing that he would neglect for a second.
No, no!
He had no objection. Lao Bai looked at the confused Xinghe and Luoyu, and said with a smile, "Come on, hurry up and don't waste time."
Xinghe took the farmer back to the side of Hope Farm. Kong Lingkai did not dare to neglect at all, and sent the family out like a plague god.
It can be seen that Kong Lingkai was not willing to give up these money trees very much, but he was really afraid.He had no doubt that it would take him half an hour to destroy these people...
Are you really not thinking about it?I'll give you...500,000 silver coins, as long as you bring that guy here.Looking at the Xinghe who was about to leave, Kong Lingkai's face was filled with reluctance.
Except for the newly weaned child, Zhou Nan's family, who heard this, showed a look of fear on their faces.
They knew that if that young man nodded, they would be dead.
But their concerns are obviously redundant.
Looking at Mr. Kong with a hopeful look, Xinghe smiled and said.
If you think too much, don’t mention 500,000 silver coins, you will even give me one million silver coins, and I will never be able to do anything I can’t do.
Kong Ling was anxious.
Is it because of insufficient money?I'll come out
It has nothing to do with money, Xinghe sighed. There is something more expensive than silver coins here.
For example, a game helmet.
But the NPC obviously didn't understand and said in a daze.
Something more expensive than... silver coins?
Xinghe said casually: That's right, in the alliance, honor and dignity are not traded, we must build an equal society... what the manager said.
Hearing this sentence, Kong Lingkai knew that nothing was useless.
He suddenly felt like a deflated ball, feeling sulky in his heart, and he didn't dare to get angry, so he could only whisper to point and scold the monks.
What you always say is equal...Is this fair to me?If I hadn't given this ungrateful wolf freedom and borrowed the capital to make a fortune, how could he have achieved today!
Looking at the guy who wanted to get angry but didn't dare, Xinghe shrugged.
I don't understand your business, nor am I interested in understanding it.Maybe in his opinion, he has served you for so many years and has been enough to repay the kindness he owes you. The planes, cement, machine guns... are many of the things we actually produce there, right?Maybe in your opinion, these may not be enough, but that's another problem.
I asked me to say that you should sign an agreement that stipulates the sharing of ownership and interests, and use things written on black and white to restrict each other, and we will protect the legitimate rights and interests of all partners.But you actually know that there will be controversy in the future with vague things like "gratitude".Otherwise, you wouldn't be hostage to the whole family.
No matter what, at least for us, kidnapping is illegal, regardless of the reason.You should be glad that this place is not within the alliance for the time being, otherwise the person who came will not be a mercenary.
Not yet...what does it mean?
Looking at the group of people who turned and left, a hint of panic appeared in Kong Lingkai's eyes, while the private soldiers and servants standing around looked at each other...
……
On the bare field.
Sitting in the Viper Transport Plane, Xinghe looked at Luo Yu who was watching him and said with a shame.
Good brother!I will come back to help you!
He made an appointment to help each other before, but he went back first, and he felt a little embarrassed.
Luo Yu didn't care, looked at the slowly rising transport plane and waved his hand with a smile.
Um!I remember it, it’s a good journey!
With the body of the mutant and the family of Xinghe and Zhounan, the Viper Transporter drove two arcs toward the city of Dawn, more than 800 kilometers away.
After retracting his gaze from the plane, Lao Bai looked at Luo Yu.
Let's go back to town to discuss.
Um!Luo Yu nodded and said with a smile, "I happened to introduce the NPC who led the team to you. He is a local here and knows more about the situation here than I do."
Fang Chang suddenly thought of something and spoke.
He is your employer's person or the farmer's person.
Luo Yu scratched his head.
This... I don't know, but my employer said he could trust him and he was aware of the entrusted matter.
This way, there should be no problem.Fang Chang nodded, as if he was thinking about something on his face, but he didn't speak again.
Just as the group came to Hope Town, the mayor of Hope Town and a group of important members of the town had already come out.
Everyone's faces had different expressions, including the joy of surviving the disaster, the gratitude of thanks, or the alertness and anxiety.
The man in the lead bowed and said politely.
I am Ma Hechang, the mayor of the town here. Please allow me to represent more than 1,000 households in Hope Town. Thank you for your help!If it weren't for you, I'm afraid not many people would survive tonight.
Looking at the mayor in front of him, Lao Bai said with a smile.
You're welcome, please help us prepare a hotel if it's convenient, we have to stay here for one night.Ah, of course, we will pay.
Seeing that this person was about to pay, Ma Hechang hurriedly said.
So why are you so embarrassed? We will arrange accommodation for you. Dear Warriors can stay as long as you want!
Lao Bai said with a smile.
We won't be disturbing here for too long and will leave early tomorrow morning...
Ma Hechang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he would leave early tomorrow morning.
Although I don’t know why the mutant suddenly rushed here crazy, his intuition told him that it must be related to the people in front of him.
After all, they have joined the Torch Church's big family, and strictly speaking, that Qi tribe is their ally.
Obviously these outsiders angered the mutants, otherwise he would not have thought of any other reason, and the mutants would attack their own people.
It was the Iron Tower before, but now there is another alliance. These people are like crazy... Why do you have to trouble with mutants?
They can actually reach agreements like civilized people.
I really hope they can be polite and not bring their grudges into other people's homes.
However, even though he thought so, he still showed a warm and regretful expression on his face and said hypocritically.
If you have any questions, please let us know.
I know... Lao Bai nodded, suddenly thought of something, and continued, "By the way, can you take me to visit the priest in the town?"
Ma Hechang was stunned.
You mean...
Lao Bai went straight to the point and said.
I heard that there is a church of the Torch Church here.
Ma Hechang's face suddenly appeared and he nodded quickly.
OK, I'll take you there.
……
The town is quiet.
After the mutants were removed, many caravans removed the roadblocks at the door and ran north without saying a word, for fear that they would stay here for one more night and be killed by the mutants.
The militia in the town did not dare to force them to keep them, so they could only watch those people walk away.
If this happens, those people may never come here again.But compared to what happens in the future, people are more worried about the present.
Why do those mutants come back here?
After they suffered such a big loss, will they come back again...
Not to mention those outsiders.
Some locals who are born and raised here are also hesitating whether to clean up the fine and run away and completely leave this place of right and wrong.
After entering the town, the players were divided into two teams.
Fang Chang and Luo Yu and his group went to the hotel to contact the leader of the Pinecone Farm Caravan to see if they could find the opportunity to get into the farm.
Lao Bai, Ye Shi, Qianfeng and others followed the mayor to the church of the Torch Church.
The church is right in the middle of the town, with a steep roof covered with a layer of tiles. It doesn't look grand, but it's not shabby.
The main entrance is engraved with the torch of the church's badge. Two torches made of inverted triangles.
Seeing the man in power armor looking at the sign thoughtfully, Ma Hechang coughed gently and said.
This is the church we built for the Son... It was just built some time ago.
Lao Bai said casually.
It seems that you love that Holy Son quite well.
Ma Hechang said with a smile.
That's of course, he does bring us the gospel.
Which aspect?
Which aspect?That was simply too much... Ma Hechang was stunned for a moment, and then he started talking about it carefully, such as the Nago.In the past, people fought every now and then. The guys who herded cattle, farmed, cut down trees, and hunted seemed to have taken guns and medicine. However, since the emerald trees were planted in the town, they have no more troubles.Those who do physical work are honest and honest like sheep, and finally look a little like they should.
Lao Bai suddenly asked curiously.
Do you eat that thing too?
Of course, Ma Hechang continued with a smile, I had a serious cold before, but after taking Nago, it was cured.
Lao Bai said inexplicably.
Then why aren't you the same as them?
He knew that the holy water could be exempted from the negative effects of Shenyou, but he couldn't get injections every day, right?
Moreover, the holy water is only exempt from negative effects and cannot organize the psychic state itself. It is not a good thing to immerse yourself in the hallucination of happiness.
Feeling pleasant to pain and following others' voices and words... These effects cannot be eliminated by holy water.
Ma Hechang smiled embarrassedly and said.
Of course, it is because of the Gospel of the Son... We can keep our hearts in His gospel by donating a little tax.Simply put, it is to avoid entering the state of silence.
Seeing the man looking confused, Ma Hechang took out a small bottle of medicine.
It's this, its name is the "Govatams". It's enough to get up every morning to eat a piece. It's like a kind of gentle holy water, but it's not that violent, just enough to keep people healthy and sober.
After staring at the little medicine bottle for a while, Old Bai asked with interest.
How did you sell this?
Ma Hechang said hurriedly.
This is not a sale, it is a favor to the devouts. As long as you obey the will of the Son, you can get the favor of the gospel...
What is his will?
Build a church for the Son to spread faith, and then regularly donate a small amount of property to support the clergy.
The so-called not much here should mean that it is not much for rich and powerful people. Obviously, this gospel has its own cost and is not as cheap as anyone can afford it.
But where did this thing be produced?
It seemed as if something had happened. Old Bai took out ten silver coins from his pocket and put them in the hand of the mayor.
Can you give me one?
The mayor hesitated for a moment, but when he saw the weapons in the hands of these people, he nodded and obediently knocked out a pill and handed it to Lao Bai.
...In theory, we cannot give it to people outside of believers, but Mr. Apostle did not say what would happen if he gave it to it.
Thanks.Lao Bai smiled faintly and handed the pill to Ye Shi, who stuffed it into his tactical backpack and kept it.
This thing is a valuable research material.
The white-haired lady from the Biology Institute should be interested.
When he walked to the church door, Mayor Ma did not knock on the door and reached out to push the wooden door open.
The pastor in a gray robe stood behind the wooden podium, muttering some prayers.
Hearing the sound of the door pushing open, he was so scared that he immediately raised his head. Seeing that it was not a mutant who had hit in, he breathed a sigh of relief.
That...Mr. Wei, the crisis outside has been resolved!I forgot to tell you just now, forgive me.
Seeing the middle-aged pastor looking at him straight, Mayor Ma coughed, winked at him with force, and then said.
...These friends who come from afar are very interested in our beliefs. Please answer their confusion.
Lao Bai noticed that although Mayor Ma looked pious when talking about the Holy Son, he did not respect the divine servant in the church very much.
That sentence sounds polite, but it is mostly a kind of command.
Eighty-most because of the short-term conversion, and the pastor was a native of the town.
Looking into the pastor's eyes, Lao Bai said with a smile.
Take the liberty to disturb you, is it convenient to sit here?
The middle-aged priest said nervously.
Please give me some advice.
Lao Bai nodded, sat down on the bench in the front row, and then turned around and looked at Mayor Ma.
We want to talk to him alone about some things.
After understanding the meaning of this, the mayor immediately smiled and called him.
OK!Then I'll go to something else first.
As he said that, he turned around and left the church, and thoughtfully helped everyone close the door.
The church became quiet.
The pastor swallowed and said nervously as he was watched by a pair of eyes.
My name is Wei Ming, and I am the pastor here. I wonder what you... would like to ask me?
Intuition tells him that these people don’t like them.
These pairs of eyes clearly state that they have bad intentions.
Are you from this town?
The pastor named Wei Ming nodded nervously.
Yes……
Lao Bai continued to ask.
How did you know that Zhang Zhengyang?
The interrogative tone made Wei Ming feel a little unhappy, but he did not dare to complain at all when facing these cruel people.
The exoskeletons of those guys were still hung with minced flesh and blood, and a ferocious blood-red piece was printed on it. It was enough to be intimidating if you didn't say a word.
He swallowed, and replied nervously.
...Two years ago, the apostle came here, and I saw him at that time.
Lao Bai was not surprised to hear about this from the Tower Organization and continued to ask.
Did Nago also bring it back then?
Wei Ming nodded.
Yes...but it was different from now on. The initial nacho was not mature and could only grow in a hot environment.I also heard that it is a tropical crop, which is said to have been introduced from several small islands to the south.
Although Jinchuan Province is far from the south than the River Valley Province, the tropical region is far from being considered a tropics, and can only be considered to be on the edge of the subtropical region.
It will still snow in the cold winter.
Lao Bai asked with a frown.
Did they improve the crop?
Well... Wei Ming nodded and looked at the direction of the backyard. There was no church here at the beginning, but just a warehouse. The apostle rented a piece of land in the town and hired some people to help him try to grow those special crops.
Lao Bai stared at him and asked.
Why did he ask you for help?
Wei Ming answered truthfully.
I am a doctor in the town... I also have a little understanding of biology.He told me that if his plan went well, he would not need something like a clinic in the future. If I was willing to help him, he could make the decision to give me a higher reward.
Is there anyone besides you?
Yes.
Lao Bai asked immediately.
Are they still in town?
Wei Ming smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Those people were serfs bought from nearby farms.To put it bluntly, they are both coolies and experimental subjects.The apostle would let them eat the nacho they planted, and my work would be to preach, but also to record their clinical reactions... I have never seen those people again after the first phase of the experiment, but I can probably guess where they went.
Lao Bai: Where did you go?
This time Wei Ming was silent for a long time.
After a moment, he spoke.
I have no evidence...but I feel like I should have been sent to the mutant.
Lao Bai was stunned.
Sent to the mutant?
Wei Ming showed a bitter expression on his face and shook his head.
There was no way, they could no longer do it. At that time, Nago could not survive the winter. The withdrawal reaction for a whole winter was not enough antibiotics to help those people get through... The apostle said that they were dealt with, but I think it should not be a simple deal. Those people had business dealings with mutants a long time ago, I even heard of
Looking at Wei Ming who suddenly stopped talking, Lao Bai asked immediately.
What have you heard of?
Wei Ming was silent for a while and said slowly.
I heard that they would buy some slaves from nearby farms with dinars or Cr and send them to the mutant tribe in the city... They seemed to have reached some kind of contract, and the mutant people helped the church to ensure the safety of the parish, but in contrast, the church had to provide them with some people regularly.
Ye Shi couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
These scumbags.
Wei Ming couldn't understand what he was saying, but he could feel the anger in the tone and he couldn't help but shrink his neck.
Lao Bai stared into his eyes.
Since you are a doctor... you should be able to see that the thing called Nago will ruin you.
Wei Ming's Adam's apple moved and he smiled bitterly.
Sir... It is a matter of destruction that is about time and time for us who live in this wasteland. The difference is only today or tomorrow.
Lao Bai fell into silence.
He suddenly felt a little sympathetic to this guy.
At this time, Qianfeng suddenly spoke.
That's unreasonable... To what you mean, the mutants in the city let you go because they reached an agreement with the Torch Church, but why did the version I heard was that they rarely harassed nearby villages more than a century ago.
Wei Ming sighed and said.
This is actually not contradictory. More than a century ago... It can even be said that until twenty years ago, when I was young, the "Qi" tribe was still restrained by us, and suddenly became irritable is only something that has only happened in recent years.
Ye Shi: Why?
I also heard from my grandfather. Seeing the people sitting here listening with a focused expression, Wei Ming said slowly, it is said that a long time ago, there was a settlement in the urban area of Jinhe City that was not inferior to the giant stone city. It may be larger than the giant stone city at that time, and there must be hundreds of thousands of people...
His eyes seemed to be trapped in a previous meeting, and he continued after thinking for a moment.
At that time, the post-war reconstruction committee managed the place, and the settlement seemed to be called Singularity City or something... If I remember correctly.
Later, around the 50th year of the Wasteland Era, a century and a half ago, some conflicts occurred within the committee... and said that they wanted to separate the family.
Lao Bai nodded.
I have also heard of this. It was about the 50th year of the Wasteland Era that the Post-Warcraft Reconstruction Committee officially announced its dissolution.
Wei Ming was stunned.
Is this a matter?Actually, it doesn't matter. I heard that the committee had been in name for a long time, but this is not the key... The key is that at that time, a group of green-skinned guys ran over from the east.
Those who claimed to be researchers at a facility, from the East Coast, were persecuted by the Ministry of Production.In order to preserve the research results and to escape from the pursuit of the production department, they had no choice but to turn themselves into a look of being neither human nor ghost.
When Ye Shi heard this, he was shocked.
Good guy…the ancestor of mutants?!
Wei Ming nodded.
It's almost the same. This is how the earliest mutants in the rumor came from... they were transformed by humans.Those guys are essentially human, so naturally they cannot eat people. They are even more polite than humans, and they get along well with the residents of Singularity City.
Ye Shi squeezed half a sentence from his throat with difficulty.
But why...
Why are you starting to eat people now?Wei Ming's face was full of complicated expressions. To be honest, I don't know either. What I said was just what my grandfather said...
But if I guess.
He swallowed and replied in an uncertain voice.
Maybe... the earliest mutants thought they were still humans, but their children didn't think so.
The two were soldiers of the Guards Regiment.
There are active tasks for players, usually they provide support and assistance.
These soldiers were elite soldiers selected from other corpses, and all of them had received injections of inducing serum expression, and they were awakened without exception.
There is a saying on the forum that they are all the eyes of managers.

The two soldiers ignored the guy. One of them walked straight to the corpse of the mutant who was thrown on the ground, and the other walked to Lao Bai and saluted.

The soldier nodded and was about to turn around when Lao Bai suddenly thought of something and spoke.
By the way, are you going back to Dawn City directly?
Yes.
Seeing the soldier nodding, Lao Bai quickly continued to ask.
Is it convenient to take a ride?How many of us are going back here.
The soldier was stunned for a moment and said after hesitating for a moment.
I have to ask the manager for instructions...
After saying that, he turned around and returned to the plane, connected to the communication base station of the outpost at the provincial junction through the on-board radio, and contacted the shelter.
After a while, he walked back.
The manager said yes.
Very good.Lao Bai smiled and nodded, looking at the Xinghe standing beside him, "Friend, your mission."
Xinghe was stunned.
Ah?!Is this... OK?
What's so good about this? Anyway, there are so many empty seats, five or six people can still sit down.Looking at Xinghe who was still hesitating, Lao Bai patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "The managers agree, don't be polite."

Seeing the man in power armor looking at the sign thoughtfully, Ma Hechang coughed gently and said.
This is the church we built for the Son... It was just built some time ago.
Lao Bai said casually.
It seems that you love that Holy Son quite well.
Ma Hechang said with a smile.
That's of course, he does bring us the gospel.
Which aspect?
Which aspect?That was simply too much... Ma Hechang was stunned for a moment, and then he started talking about it carefully, such as the Nago.In the past, people fought every now and then. The guys who herded cattle, farmed, cut down trees, and hunted seemed to have taken guns and medicine. However, since the emerald trees were planted in the town, they have no more troubles.Those who do physical work are honest and honest like sheep, and finally look a little like they should.
Lao Bai suddenly asked curiously.
Do you eat that thing too?
Of course, Ma Hechang continued with a smile, I had a serious cold before, but after taking Nago, it was cured.
Lao Bai said inexplicably.
Then why aren't you the same as them?
He knew that the holy water could be exempted from the negative effects of Shenyou, but he couldn't get injections every day, right?
Moreover, the holy water is only exempt from negative effects and cannot organize the psychic state itself. It is not a good thing to immerse yourself in the hallucination of happiness.
Feeling pleasant to pain and following others' voices and words... These effects cannot be eliminated by holy water.
Ma Hechang smiled embarrassedly and said.
Of course, it is because of the Gospel of the Son... We can keep our hearts in His gospel by donating a little tax.Simply put, it is to avoid entering the state of silence.
Seeing the man looking confused, Ma Hechang took out a small bottle of medicine.
It's this, its name is the "Govatams". It's enough to get up every morning to eat a piece. It's like a kind of gentle holy water, but it's not that violent, just enough to keep people healthy and sober.
After staring at the little medicine bottle for a while, Old Bai asked with interest.
How did you sell this?
Ma Hechang said hurriedly.
This is not a sale, it is a favor to the devouts. As long as you obey the will of the Son, you can get the favor of the gospel...
What is his will?
Build a church for the Son to spread faith, and then regularly donate a small amount of property to support the clergy.
The so-called not much here should mean that it is not much for rich and powerful people. Obviously, this gospel has its own cost and is not as cheap as anyone can afford it.
But where did this thing be produced?
It seemed as if something had happened. Old Bai took out ten silver coins from his pocket and put them in the hand of the mayor.
Can you give me one?
The mayor hesitated for a moment, but when he saw the weapons in the hands of these people, he nodded and obediently knocked out a pill and handed it to Lao Bai.
...In theory, we cannot give it to people outside of believers, but Mr. Apostle did not say what would happen if he gave it to it.
Thanks.Lao Bai smiled faintly and handed the pill to Ye Shi, who stuffed it into his tactical backpack and kept it.
This thing is a valuable research material.
The white-haired lady from the Biology Institute should be interested.
When he walked to the church door, Mayor Ma did not knock on the door and reached out to push the wooden door open.
The pastor in a gray robe stood behind the wooden podium, muttering some prayers.
Hearing the sound of the door pushing open, he was so scared that he immediately raised his head. Seeing that it was not a mutant who had hit in, he breathed a sigh of relief.
That...Mr. Wei, the crisis outside has been resolved!I forgot to tell you just now, forgive me.
Seeing the middle-aged pastor looking at him straight, Mayor Ma coughed, winked at him with force, and then said.
...These friends who come from afar are very interested in our beliefs. Please answer their confusion.
Lao Bai noticed that although Mayor Ma looked pious when talking about the Holy Son, he did not respect the divine servant in the church very much.
That sentence sounds polite, but it is mostly a kind of command.
Eighty-most because of the short-term conversion, and the pastor was a native of the town.
Looking into the pastor's eyes, Lao Bai said with a smile.
Take the liberty to disturb you, is it convenient to sit here?
The middle-aged priest said nervously.
Please give me some advice.
Lao Bai nodded, sat down on the bench in the front row, and then turned around and looked at Mayor Ma.
We want to talk to him alone about some things.
After understanding the meaning of this, the mayor immediately smiled and called him.
OK!Then I'll go to something else first.
As he said that, he turned around and left the church, and thoughtfully helped everyone close the door.
The church became quiet.
The pastor swallowed and said nervously as he was watched by a pair of eyes.
My name is Wei Ming, and I am the pastor here. I wonder what you... would like to ask me?
Intuition tells him that these people don’t like them.
These pairs of eyes clearly state that they have bad intentions.
Are you from this town?
The pastor named Wei Ming nodded nervously.
Yes……
Lao Bai continued to ask.
How did you know that Zhang Zhengyang?
The interrogative tone made Wei Ming feel a little unhappy, but he did not dare to complain at all when facing these cruel people.
The exoskeletons of those guys were still hung with minced flesh and blood, and a ferocious blood-red piece was printed on it. It was enough to be intimidating if you didn't say a word.
He swallowed, and replied nervously.
...Two years ago, the apostle came here, and I saw him at that time.
Lao Bai was not surprised to hear about this from the Tower Organization and continued to ask.
Did Nago also bring it back then?
Wei Ming nodded.
Yes...but it was different from now on. The initial nacho was not mature and could only grow in a hot environment.I also heard that it is a tropical crop, which is said to have been introduced from several small islands to the south.
Although Jinchuan Province is far from the south than the River Valley Province, the tropical region is far from being considered a tropics, and can only be considered to be on the edge of the subtropical region.
It will still snow in the cold winter.
Lao Bai asked with a frown.
Did they improve the crop?
Well... Wei Ming nodded and looked at the direction of the backyard. There was no church here at the beginning, but just a warehouse. The apostle rented a piece of land in the town and hired some people to help him try to grow those special crops.
Lao Bai stared at him and asked.
Why did he ask you for help?
Wei Ming answered truthfully.
I am a doctor in the town... I also have a little understanding of biology.He told me that if his plan went well, he would not need something like a clinic in the future. If I was willing to help him, he could make the decision to give me a higher reward.
Is there anyone besides you?
Yes.
Lao Bai asked immediately.
Are they still in town?
Wei Ming smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Those people were serfs bought from nearby farms.To put it bluntly, they are both coolies and experimental subjects.The apostle would let them eat the nacho they planted, and my work would be to preach, but also to record their clinical reactions... I have never seen those people again after the first phase of the experiment, but I can probably guess where they went.
Lao Bai: Where did you go?
This time Wei Ming was silent for a long time.
After a moment, he spoke.
I have no evidence...but I feel like I should have been sent to the mutant.
Lao Bai was stunned.
Sent to the mutant?
Wei Ming showed a bitter expression on his face and shook his head.
There was no way, they could no longer do it. At that time, Nago could not survive the winter. The withdrawal reaction for a whole winter was not enough antibiotics to help those people get through... The apostle said that they were dealt with, but I think it should not be a simple deal. Those people had business dealings with mutants a long time ago, I even heard of
Looking at Wei Ming who suddenly stopped talking, Lao Bai asked immediately.
What have you heard of?
Wei Ming was silent for a while and said slowly.
I heard that they would buy some slaves from nearby farms with dinars or Cr and send them to the mutant tribe in the city... They seemed to have reached some kind of contract, and the mutant people helped the church to ensure the safety of the parish, but in contrast, the church had to provide them with some people regularly.
Ye Shi couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
These scumbags.
Wei Ming couldn't understand what he was saying, but he could feel the anger in the tone and he couldn't help but shrink his neck.
Lao Bai stared into his eyes.
Since you are a doctor... you should be able to see that the thing called Nago will ruin you.
Wei Ming's Adam's apple moved and he smiled bitterly.
Sir... It is a matter of destruction that is about time and time for us who live in this wasteland. The difference is only today or tomorrow.
Lao Bai fell into silence.
He suddenly felt a little sympathetic to this guy.
At this time, Qianfeng suddenly spoke.
That's unreasonable... To what you mean, the mutants in the city let you go because they reached an agreement with the Torch Church, but why did the version I heard was that they rarely harassed nearby villages more than a century ago.
Wei Ming sighed and said.
This is actually not contradictory. More than a century ago... It can even be said that until twenty years ago, when I was young, the "Qi" tribe was still restrained by us, and suddenly became irritable is only something that has only happened in recent years.
Ye Shi: Why?
I also heard from my grandfather. Seeing the people sitting here listening with a focused expression, Wei Ming said slowly, it is said that a long time ago, there was a settlement in the urban area of Jinhe City that was not inferior to the giant stone city. It may be larger than the giant stone city at that time, and there must be hundreds of thousands of people...
His eyes seemed to be trapped in a previous meeting, and he continued after thinking for a moment.
At that time, the post-war reconstruction committee managed the place, and the settlement seemed to be called Singularity City or something... If I remember correctly.
Later, around the 50th year of the Wasteland Era, a century and a half ago, some conflicts occurred within the committee... and said that they wanted to separate the family.
Lao Bai nodded.
I have also heard of this. It was about the 50th year of the Wasteland Era that the Post-Warcraft Reconstruction Committee officially announced its dissolution.
Wei Ming was stunned.
Is this a matter?Actually, it doesn't matter. I heard that the committee had been in name for a long time, but this is not the key... The key is that at that time, a group of green-skinned guys ran over from the east.
Those who claimed to be researchers at a facility, from the East Coast, were persecuted by the Ministry of Production.In order to preserve the research results and to escape from the pursuit of the production department, they had no choice but to turn themselves into a look of being neither human nor ghost.
When Ye Shi heard this, he was shocked.
Good guy…the ancestor of mutants?!
Wei Ming nodded.
It's almost the same. This is how the earliest mutants in the rumor came from... they were transformed by humans.Those guys are essentially human, so naturally they cannot eat people. They are even more polite than humans, and they get along well with the residents of Singularity City.
Ye Shi squeezed half a sentence from his throat with difficulty.
But why...
Why are you starting to eat people now?Wei Ming's face was full of complicated expressions. To be honest, I don't know either. What I said was just what my grandfather said...
But if I guess.
He swallowed and replied in an uncertain voice.
Maybe... the earliest mutants thought they were still humans, but their children didn't think so.
