Chapter 1065 Is the end coming?
As he said that, Qi Musheng raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and a deep sad look on his face: "Before this, we had never thought that the old locust tree would have a secondary change. It had been disguised well before, and none of us noticed something was wrong, but as time went by, we found that the situation was much worse than we thought."
"Look at our current town, there are no people on the streets. In fact, they are all at home. Now everyone is doing nothing. They make lucky bags every day and hang them on the old locust tree. The waist of the old locust tree is bent..."
As Qi Musheng said, tears oozing in his eyes. He wiped his tears and said anxiously: "The people in the town are now like demons, and they are completely different from the past. If we don't find a way to save them, the situation will get worse and worse."
Qi Musheng had already mentioned these situations when he contacted him before. Luo Xinghe was very clear about these situations. He nodded and said that he knew it. Then he turned to look at his friends and said, "This is how things are. According to Mayor Qi and my judgment, it is 100% certain that the old locust tree has undergone a change of change. Moreover, this old locust tree has a history of more than 1,500 years. It has even lived through the dark age, which is enough to show its strength. According to the information we have obtained now, the longer it has existed before, the stronger its strength will become. If they do not have bad intentions, it would be a disaster for humans."
Indeed, the attack power of mutated creatures is extremely powerful. Ordinary people are no match for mutated creatures at all, especially mutated creatures that have survived for thousands of years. Not only is the strong attack power, but the attack method is even more powerful, which makes people unable to defend themselves.
The oldest mutant creature they have encountered so far is the mutant peach tree in Taohua Village. Its attack methods are something they have never seen before. The mutant peach tree can control the thoughts of ordinary people and make them obey its orders. This control is silent and difficult for outsiders to detect.
If Qi Wang hadn't discovered the mutated peach blossom tree, the villagers of Taohua Village would have long become puppets of the mutated peach blossom tree.
This time, the situation of the old locust tree in Luoshui Town is very similar to that in Taohua Village last time. However, the difference is that the village chief who noticed that it was inappropriate had no way to deal with the mutated old locust tree, so he could only ask for help from the guards.
After briefly understanding the situation, everyone began to discuss. Their idea was actually quite simple. They still asked Qi Wang and Tao Yao to rescue the villagers who were bewitched and controlled, and the remaining people would deal with the mutated old locust tree.
"Qi Wang, Tao Yao, what do you two think? The strength of you two is obvious to all. You also solved the mutated peach blossom trees in Taohua Village. This time, I must have done the same thing easily. After you save the villagers, we will meet with us and solve the mutated old locust tree together. What do you two think?"
Xiao Longfei said earnestly: "It is related to the safety of the entire Luoshui Town residents, and time is tight. We have to act as soon as possible. If you two have any objections, what should we say when everything is over? Of course, in order to compensate you for your efforts, I will pay you an additional 20% of the income this time. What do you think?"
The conditions given by Xiao Longfei are already very generous. According to common sense, Qi Wang and Tao Yao will not refuse, and he also believes that they should not refuse them.
Sure enough, the two of them finally did not refuse and nodded and agreed: "Yes."
Qi Shaoqin looked at the two of them with a thoughtful look on her face. After a moment, she stepped forward and said, "Captain Xiao, I think I'd better act with my elder brother and the others."
After hearing Qi Shaoqin's words, Xiao Long turned his head and looked at Qi Shaoqin with a puzzled look on his face: "Shaoqin, we are all used to it. If you leave suddenly, it may be a huge loss for us. Qi Wang and Tao Yao are very strong, you don't need to do this..."
The mutated old locust tree is obviously more dangerous than rescuing the residents in the town. One more person means more strength. Qi Shaoqin suddenly changed her mind, which surprised Xiao Longfei and couldn't help but persuade her.
However, Qi Shaoqin naturally has her own purpose. Now, no matter how she and Qi Wang are both grasshoppers on the same rope, she can't just say that they want to cooperate, but there is no expression in their actions. She still has to show her own attitude to let them know their sincerity.
What's more, there is no better way to lay a relationship and narrow the distance between each other than fighting together. If she wants to advance, she needs Qi Wang to devote herself to it, and it is naturally imperative to improve her favorability.
"I'm a little worried about Brother and Taoyao, let alone I believe in your abilities."
Qi Shaoqin had already said this, so they naturally didn't want to say much. Xiao Longfei was a little helpless and could only nod and agreed.
However, Luo Xinghe looked at Qi Shaoqin more, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, as if he was wondering about Qi Shaoqin's choice, but he didn't say anything after all, pretending that he had not discovered anything.
The matter was finalized. Xiao Longfei took his team members to hold the old locust tree to prevent Qi Wang and others from causing trouble when saving the residents, while Qi Wang took Tao Yao and Qi Shaoqin to rescue the controlled residents.
After dividing the team, Xiao Longfei pondered for a moment and said, "By the way, there is something I must tell you that we are not a regular army, but a free organization of the civilian community, so some 'rules' do not apply to us. If you encounter danger later, you should make it your priority to ensure your safety. If it really doesn't work, you can give up the rescue of the residents. Compared with them, your own lives are more important."
When Qi Musheng heard this, his expression changed slightly, but he quickly lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Although what Qi Musheng said was a little colder, it was understandable. Qi Wang could understand why he said that.
The guard team is not a state-organized rescue team, and the way they deal with the people is completely different. The state-organized rescue team takes the safety of the people as the priority. If they encounter a life-and-death moment, they would rather sacrifice themselves than protect the safety of the people.
But they are different. They are rescue teams of civil organizations. The two have essential differences. Within their ability, they should rescue ordinary people as much as possible. Once they encounter a life-and-death moment, they should make it the first priority to ensure their safety.
This has nothing to do with selfishness or not. Everyone’s life is precious. They are not people from state organs, so they will naturally not sacrifice themselves.
"I understand, thank you for your reminder."
Xiao Longfei looked at Qi Wang deeply, but did not say anything else, but took his team members away, while Luo Xinghe landed at the end of the team. Before leaving, he looked at Tao Yao deeply, and there seemed to be something strange in his eyes.
Taoyao noticed Luo Xinghe's gaze. She was a little angry and glared at Luo Xinghe fiercely.
However, Luo Xinghe was not angry, but showed a brilliant smile at Tao Yao. Then he blinked at Tao Yao again, and the expression on his face became a bit frivolous.
Taoyao: "..."
If the timing was not the wrong time or the occasion was not right, she would definitely let this guy taste her power. She had never seen a greasy man like Luo Xinghe.
"Brother, that Luo Xinghe really hates you. When you have time, I will definitely help me teach him a lesson."
Qi Wang patted Taoyao on the shoulder and signaled her to calm down. However, when Taoyao thought of Luo Xinghe's expression just now, she felt uncomfortable all over her body. It felt like she was suffering from mental pollution, and was defiled by him from the inside out.
Qi Shaoqin remained silent. She looked at Tao Yao deeply and began to think about it - should she continue to investigate Tao Yao's identity? She always felt that there seemed to be something amazing hidden in her. Is Luo Xinghe so concerned about her because she is beautiful?
No, that guy Luo Xinghe is meticulous and doesn't know how many secrets he has in his mind. He won't do such meaningless things. It seems that he is also investigating Taoyao.
After hesitating for a while, Qi Shaoqin decided to hide the secret. She promised that Qi Wang would not continue to investigate Tao Yao's secret, but the others did not agree. If Luo Xinghe found any problems, it had nothing to do with her.
Tao Yao's anger came and went quickly. After Luo Xinghe was not in front of her, Tao Yao calmed down. She turned her head and looked at Qi Wang. Seeing him talking to Qi Musheng, Tao Yao stood aside obediently and said nothing.
Qi Musheng was left behind. As an ordinary person and an ordinary person of such an old age, he was no longer suitable to follow Xiao Longfei and the others to deal with the mutated old locust tree. However, he has been the mayor of Luoshui Town for so many years and knows everything in the town. It is a suitable thing for him to lead Qi Wang and the others to find the residents.
"Mayor Qi, when did you realize that everyone has become different from the past? How did you judge that those people are controlled?"
Qi Musheng sighed and said, "I am just an ordinary person, not as good as you mental people. However, I have lived at such an age and have a look at people. Most of the people in the town have grown up. I know exactly what their personalities and habits they have. This may be a bit too fantastic, but it is a fact. When I look at it one eye, I know who is normal and who is not normal."
According to Qi Musheng, the changes in the residents were very clear to him. As long as he observed them more, he would know that their problems were wrong.
"Young man, you know that after the secondary change, it was almost a catastrophe for a town like us that relies on the tourism industry to survive. Without the guests outside, we had a problem with our meals. It was understandable that everyone was anxious. This person, once he was anxious, he could think of any tricks..."
According to Qi Musheng's words, everyone was actually quite normal at the beginning, but as time went by, there were no tourists coming in the town, everyone's income was getting lower and lower, and life became less and worse, so they began to get anxious.
"I don't know who thought about it, so I started to tie a lucky bag on the old locust tree, begging for the disaster to pass earlier, and someone could come to the town to travel earlier, and everyone's life would be better."
At the beginning, it might be just one or two people doing this, but over time, everyone had no other way, so they began to blindly follow the trend and hung lucky bags on the old locust tree one by one.
"There are more than 10,000 people in our town. Each person hangs lucky bags on one floor, which is more than 10,000. Moreover, they don't hang one by one. They hang lucky bags almost every day. The old locust tree is tortured, and the branches cannot be taken. It's a blessing that the old locust tree is strong and has a strong life, otherwise it would have been tortured to death."
Speaking of this, Qi Musheng looked sighing on his face: "I think that old locust tree is also very old. How can he bear it when he is tortured like this every day?"
Qi Wang patiently listened to what Qi Musheng said. After he finished speaking, Qi Wang said, "Master Qi, I seem to be very sympathetic to the old locust tree when I hear your meaning? Don't you think that mutated old locust tree is very bad? After all, it has attacked humans and hurt humans. Do you still sympathize with it?"
Qi Musheng sighed and said helplessly: "How can you not be sympathetic? After all, the old locust tree has been here for longer than all of us. This is their home. You can't think that they have occupied our territory just because we are humans, right? If we really want to discuss it, it is also our territory that we have occupied our territory and they have to fight back. Think about it, if it were you, if it were you, you can stand it if someone hangs heavy things on you every day?"
"So I invited you here not to destroy the old locust tree, but to ask you to save everyone. After all, the old locust tree has not lost control yet. Maybe it's just a small punishment and a big warning. You can help save people, and then let's have a good talk to see if we can live in peace, or find a way to live in peace."
Tao Yao heard this and couldn't help but say, "Okay, there is no way to live in peace. Even if the mutated old locust tree can tolerate it, humans cannot tolerate the existence of the mutated old locust tree that has had a history of injury."
When it comes to Taoyao, she has a deep understanding. After all, she is the unlucky mutated peach blossom tree. If she hadn't met Qi Wang, she would have been killed by those guards long ago.
Although humans usually look like they love them very much, humans are selfish in their bones. Once they encounter danger, they will set their own sex for the other party. In order to prevent possible dangers, they will completely destroy the other party.
"It is your own idea to live in peace. Even if the mutated old locust tree is willing to live in peace, can you guarantee that all the residents of the town are happy? By that time, everyone is clamoring to kill the mutated old locust tree, how can it survive?"
As he was talking, Tao Yao remembered the bodies he had been killed, and suddenly felt heavy in his heart, and he felt a little breathless.
"Forget it, don't dream anymore. The mutated old locust tree can't survive. I just don't know if it can have..." I'm so lucky.
Before the rest of the words were finished, they were interrupted by Qi Wang: "Taoyao, you don't need to continue talking anymore. Let's see what the situation is."
She has been a human being for such a long time, but Taoyao sometimes forgets her current human identity and speaks more unrestrainedly. Is she afraid that her identity will not be known to others?
Tao Yao closed her mouth in disappointment, and her whole body became wilted and could not lift her energy.
Qi Musheng smiled bitterly and said, "Oh, let's leave everything to fate. I think everyone is grown up by the old locust trees. The reason why our town has its current prosperity is also unrelated to the old locust trees. Even for sustainable development, it should not be wiped out."
Maybe he found out that his thoughts were a bit unrealistic. After being pointed out, Qi Musheng was in a low mood. He led Qi Wang and Tao Yao and others along the bluestone path in the town. His originally straight back became hunched at this moment.
"It's too troublesome to find people in this family, and it's also a waste of time. We go to the radio room, I play a radio, and I'll call everyone to the square."
Qi Wang asked: "Mayor Qi, didn't you say that they were all controlled? Then how could they follow the radio and come to the square to gather?"
Perhaps because of his back to them, Qi Musheng's voice became empty, which made people feel a little unreal.
"It's okay. Although I've been controlled, I haven't completely lost my mind. If I play the radio, everyone will come. Don't worry, it's all for the people in the town. I won't lie to you."
When Qi Wang heard this, she didn't say anything. Qi Shaoqin, who was following behind, wanted to speak but stopped. She saw that Qi Wang and Tao Yao didn't say anything. She thought about it, closed her mouth and stopped saying anything.
Although Luohe Town is just a medium-sized town, it covers a large area. In addition to the houses in Lucibi, there are also many landscape landscapes. These landscapes are deliberately made into an old feeling. When walking in it, it seems like traveling through time and space and returning to hundreds of years ago.
"In fact, in the past, this place was a little more beautiful, but afterwards, too many things happened and the scenery changed. The beautiful scenery from the past could never be found again."
"A few months ago, there were many plants here, and the flowers, plants, trees, etc. were lush and beautiful. However, after a second change occurred, the flowers, plants, trees, and trees disappeared. Although they are still very beautiful now, they always feel that they are less fresh and lively and are not as beautiful as they used to be."
Qi Musheng said while walking, coughing from time to time. He looked like a very strong old man before, but now he feels a little old, and he feels like an old man who is about to die.
Seeing him like this, Tao Yao always felt a little uncomfortable. She frowned and said in a low voice: "Is the situation of Mayor Qi a little wrong? It was obviously fine just now, but why did it look like this now?"
And there was a saying Tao Yao didn't say it. She felt that as Qi Musheng's posture changed, there seemed to be something else on him, giving people an indescribable strange feeling.
Qi Wang glanced at Tao Yao and said, "Maybe he is tired. He is old and he always has all kinds of problems. Mayor Qi is not a mental person, so it is normal for him to be in poor health."
Taoyao said half-believingly: "Is that true?"
She felt that this was not the case, but Qi Wang looked as if he was very honest, so Tao Yao didn't say anything more.
Along the way, they didn't meet a single figure. After about half an hour, Qi Musheng took them to the radio room. The fastest update of Lily for free is no anti-theft or anti-theft.
