One day later, Li Yao, long Yangjun and Li Jialing led the selected soldiers to climb the winding and rugged crevices, through the unknown abandoned vertical mine, and drove the giant earth drilling vehicle similar to the dragon. All the way up several kilometers, they gradually approached the rock stratum where the "big iron factory" was located.
Along the way, it is through countless deserted or dying abandoned towns.
Five thousand meters below the ground is a vague dividing line. The landscape above and below is quite different from the purpose of building a town.
The main purpose of the towns built above the 5000 meter line is to dredge the surplus population on the ground and expand the living space of human beings; Almost all the towns below the 5000 meter line are built on the discovery of certain resources.
Whether it's rare ore veins or caves and relics tens of thousands of years ago, they can attract countless immortal practitioners to come like locusts, bringing a large number of primitive slave workers. The clothing, food, housing and transportation of these primitive slave workers will attract more people to gather together to make a living. Often in a very short time, they can form a prosperous and lively town.
However, good times do not last long. Once the veins are exhausted or the treasures in the ruins are explored, it means the end of the town.
The immortal who ate dry and wiped clean patted his ass and left, but it was doomed to be impossible to bring these original slave workers who worked as cattle and horses for him, and the service personnel who gathered because of the original slave workers.
The fate of these people is entangled with the veins and relics. They can hardly do anything except mining and acting as mice in the exploration of relics. After the resources are exhausted, their fate after being abandoned by the immortals is naturally extremely tragic.
Except for a few strong people who can venture through deep and narrow cracks and tunnels and try their luck in other underground towns, most of the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled are doomed to die in a desolate darkness, which is more miserable than the residents of 10084 district.
Along the way, Li Yao saw countless such abandoned towns.
Many of the town's residents died, leaving only the faint phosphorescent white bones, as well as the same loss of vitality, rust, all kinds of mining magic weapons, just like the graves of scrap iron and skeletons.
But what is worse is the town whose residents are still dying and struggling in vain in despair.
There are a pair of thirsty eyes embedded on the living skull like faces. The light from them is so bright that even Li Yao dare not look at each other.
Naturally, the development of worry free education in these barren towns is excellent. Wherever it goes, as long as it is not a real no man's land, worry free believers will come out to meet them, give them clean drinking water, take the dried meat baked in 10084 and distribute it to local residents, and specially grind up porridge to prevent choking and supporting.
Looking at the residents who gobble up one by one and are very grateful to the carefree believers, it is estimated that even if their heads are cut off, they will never betray the carefree religion - this is the basis of the people.
Long Yangjun told Li Yao that it was not only worry free religion that was in full swing in the underground world, but also various kinds of strange thoughts and organizations. In the remote areas of the Empire and the underground world, it developed very rapidly. Some people believed in worry free religion, some believed in holy alliance people, some believed in Chiyou Taoism, and some even directly believed in demons, There is a kind of practice method called "heavenly magic dance" which is popular.
In a word, as long as it can make people forget the pain for a while, paralyze their bodies full of holes and scars, and even give them a slim chance to fight back against those who cultivate immortals, these "humble primitive people" are willing to believe, whether they are gods and demons or evil spirits of Jiuyou.
"I'll tell you so --"
In a word, long Yangjun said, "people here believe everything except Xiuxian Avenue and the highest authorities."
Li Yao's heart moved, originally wanted to ask long Yangjun "that Xiuzhen Avenue"?
When you think about it, the starlight organization has been active on the edge of the Empire for hundreds of years, has been reborn for dozens of times, and is growing stronger and stronger. Isn't it because the oppression of the immortal practitioners is too harsh?
Yes, he made a scene of "the city of the sky, manjushahua" and called out "the cultivator is back". It has been spread all over the empire through the spiritual network. Maybe many people in the original class of the Empire have awakened, and they are also cultivating silently and brewing resistance with the goal of "the cultivator"?
Perhaps in the depths of the Celestial Star, there are also such people who are infected, shocked and deeply touched by Xiuzhen Avenue?
He should have more confidence in Xiuzhen Avenue. He shouldn't belittle himself so much. Even Chiyou Dao and Tianmo are believed. Is Xiuzhen Avenue so unattractive?
There must be people who believe in, look forward to, and are willing to pay all the price to become true practitioners!
In any case, this trip to the bottom of the earth has opened his eyes to the extent of erosion and decay at the bottom of the foundation of the Empire. In fact, the rule of the immortals here has almost failed. People prefer to believe in the best way of killing emotions and desires, or even the way of heaven and evil, rather than believe in the immortals above their heads, How ironic and pathetic is this?
"No matter how the immortals brainwashed the people at the bottom, how they preached the supremacy of" real people, "the idea that" original people "must contribute everything, their rule is going to be completely bankrupt!"
Li Yaomo thought, "the people of the Empire have abandoned the road of cultivating immortals with their practical actions. Next, it's our turn to show our sincerity and win over as many people as possible from the holy alliance, chiyoudao, Tianmo and other chaotic thoughts and organizations!"
Even though he is still at the peak of his life and wears divine equipment, it is impossible for him to directly rush up and kill the leaders of shengmeng, chiyoudao and Tianmo. After all, they have a broad public base and must have done a lot of good deeds, At least it comforts people!
If Li Yao really acts rashly, he is afraid that he will make the signboard of "true cultivator" stink completely.
"We have to think of a way to establish the brand of cultivators. Now the people at the bottom of Xinghai central have been practicing immortality for a long time. They just can't find a way out and go to the doctor in a hurry! Xiuzhen Avenue, after all, is a ten thousand year old shop with extremely rich intangible assets. As long as the gold lettered signboard can be erected again, there is no reason to compete with shengmeng or even the ghost Chiyou, ghost Tianmo! "
Li Yaofei quickly scratched his chin and said, "I'm good at brand building."
After a short rest in the barren towns, many soldiers joined the volunteer army of Wuyou sect and made their way up.
It's hard to imagine that in the underground world where resources are scarce, such a group of strong people can be nurtured. Although the spiritual roots have not yet been awakened, all of them have strong muscles and bones, active blood vessels, and high temples, all reaching the level of "martial arts masters".
Li Yao secretly compared them with senior high school students and ordinary soldiers in the Xingyao Federation, and found that they did not fall behind in terms of physical fitness alone.
Li Yao quickly understood that this estimate was a "survivor error".
First of all, the exiles who fled to the underground world in the past tens of thousands of years must be the elites and strongmen of the ground world at that time. From the source, they ensured the strength of their blood.
It is precisely because of the harsh environment, lack of resources and extremely high mortality in the underground world that, in the cruel screening of tens of thousands of years, all the weak people and their genes have been screened out and annihilated in endless darkness.
People who can continue their blood and survive all the way to today are naturally the most tenacious, tenacious and strong!
The vast majority of the fighters who formed the rebel army were all miners and relics explorers, which were the best sources of troops.
Miners are hardworking and highly organized, and they can manipulate all kinds of complicated and sophisticated mining magic weapons, which makes them have a certain cultural quality. At least they know the operation methods of many magic weapons, and they can also repair some simple civil magic weapons. With a little training, they can manipulate military magic weapons.
Moreover, in order to reduce the cost and increase the output, the mine owners of the real human Empire often went crazy and made all kinds of adjustments to the miners under their hands without restraint. Objectively, they also cultivated them into monsters with infinite power.
Think about it. If a miner is more efficient than a psionic puppet, his ability to smash a man's head must be no worse.
"Tianhuanjie", one of the four new worlds of Xingyao Federation, had a big riot of Disha miners against Tiangang rulers. Ding lingdang was also the witness and organizer of the riot. Later, he talked with Li Yao about the details of that time, so that Li Yao knew how terrible it was once the well-trained miners were organized.
Not to mention the heritage seeker.
Although the immortal cultivators only regard the original human as a mouse and put them in the unexplored relics to test various mechanisms and defense arrays, nine out of ten "mice" all die of unnatural death.
However, the "little white mouse" who survived by chance has a certain chance to become a terrible beast after accepting the test of the ruins.
The "old friend" Li Yao met in the flying star world, the king of star thieves, Bai Laoda, made his fortune as a relic explorer.
There is also Qi Changsheng, one of the "four evils" in the ancient holy world, who is as famous as long Yangjun. He and his huntian army are tomb robbers, that is, relics explorers.
Although the number of ruins explorers is far less than that of miners, they are the backbone and small leaders of the rebel army. Each of them has been beaten countless times by the immortal cultivators with electromagnetic whip. They are climbing out of the dead. Naturally, they are full of deep hatred for the immortal cultivators.
Such a rebel army, armed with all kinds of magic weapons excavated from underground treasure warehouses, underground shelters and relics, is really a force that can not be underestimated. Maybe they can make a big stir.
