- Chapter 140 The Wasteland of the Earth (13)
After exiting the "changing room", it is still not a residential area, but another large area similar to a train station platform. The shape of this area and the pillars standing in it are almost the same as the one we passed before. It is estimated that the two areas are upper and lower. Built with two layers of mirrors.
By now, the surrounding air is enough for ordinary people like Hank to breathe smoothly. After passing through this place and a winding passage, the front suddenly became clear, and the three of them finally arrived at the interior of Shenyou Village.
For the two players, what they saw was truly a spectacle. Orange light shines from the sky. Looking up, you can see layers of cloud-like vegetation forming the sky here. Its height can basically be measured visually, which is approximately the distance from the ground to the top of the canyon. The sunlight does not enter through the gaps covered by these plants, but is filtered by these plants and then penetrates. This layer of vegetation is like the unique ozone layer of Shenyou Village. Of course, what they saw at this time was no longer a purely natural product. This layer of vegetation had been improved several times by the people living here in the past hundreds of years. This protection was the lifeblood of the village and must be absolutely stable and stable. Safety.
?As you walk forward, you can see neatly arranged roads and uniform low-rise buildings. There are not many pedestrians on the street, and they all wear the same clothes. The men's clothes are exactly the same as Hank's, and the women's clothes are not much different in style, but the color is slightly brighter.
At this moment, Feng Bujue and Kuang Zong Jianying had taken off the helmets of their protective suits and left them in the locker room. They tightened the collar of the protective clothing and turned it inward to ensure that the clothing they wore underneath was not exposed. Even so, they are still quite conspicuous.
A vivid example is: two fifth-grade students came to the first-grade classroom. They wore different school uniforms and were taller But after all, they still wore school uniforms and did not go to school dressed like Conan. So the villagers just looked at them strangely instead of screaming in panic or attacking them with hoes.
"The guy who designed this city has really bad taste. Robots will not live in such a place." Kuang Zong Jianying commented.
"Hahawhat do you think it will be like here?" Feng Bujue asked.
"When he said village, I thought it was a place like the Shire." Kuang Zong Jianying said: "I didn't expect it to be like this It's like a formatted slum here." He said He sneered: "The real slums are better than this, at least the buildings and people there are" He didn't think of what words to use.
Feng Bujue answered: "Has personality."
"Yes, personality." Kuang Zong Jianying said: "Look at these guys, they live in the same house, wear the same clothes, and use the same things To be honest, aren't you afraid of getting lost?" He turned around and asked. Hank.
Hank replied: "Each road has a number, so it's easy to find."
Kuang Zong Jianying shook his head and sighed: "Okay."
"At least they still enjoy freedom in hairstyle. The leader did not arrange for all of them to shave their heads. Only the cadres were allowed to keep their hair." Feng Bujue said.
"Fengxian Academy sent a congratulatory message" Kuangzong Jianying really understood and replied jokingly.
The three of them walked for a while and met two street patrol officers. The two men were wearing slightly different styles and colors of clothing. They wore epaulettes and long boots. Their weapons were a catapult and a metal shield. .
"Stop." One of them called to them.
Feng Bujue and the others stopped, waiting for the other party to come forward and ask questions. Kuang Zong Jian Ying could be said to be fearless. He just looked at the other person with a look that was neither humble nor arrogant, and stood there silently, while Hank felt guilty and was too nervous to speak.
"Why did you come in wearing protective clothing?" the inspector asked.
Feng Bujue replied: "Well sir, our clothes are ruined."
"Droken?" The man glanced at Feng Bujue suspiciously: "The clothes were placed in a box in the dressing room, how could they be damaged?"
¡°Reporting to you, sir, I was accidentally caught by the metal door of the filter layer.¡± Feng Bujue replied.
"Oh" the man responded doubtfully, and after a few seconds said, "Then go to the supply office as soon as possible to get a new set."
"Understood, thank you for your concern, sir!" Feng Bujue replied.
The two patrollers looked at each other, shrugged, and left.
Kuang Zong Jianying said with a smile: "Your attitudeyou must have watched too many domestic TV series. It feels like an underground traffic officer meets a woman on the street."
 "As long as it works," Feng Bujue replied.
Hank looked suspicious and said: "It's strange they actually believed it. How could the clothes be caught by the metal door of the filter channel? We filter first and then change clothes. If we want to clamp, we have to clamp the protective clothing. Right."
"Yes, but how would they know?" Feng Bujue said: "They are not scavengers."
"Oh, right! The patrolman should have never left the village." Hank continued as if he suddenly understood.
"Have you thought of such a thing?" Kuang Zong Jianying interjected and asked.
"In a social system where classes are clearly defined and insurmountable; each performs its own duties and does not interfere with each other, regardless of the people at the top, a group living at the bottom cannot understand the details of the work of another group." Feng Feng Bujue said: "It is impossible for the scavengers to know how many dishes and soups are served in the patroller's canteen, and it is impossible for the patrollers to know the procedures for the scavengers to use the changing room. So I only need to give a random reason. Can they still Immediately take out your phone and Google the specific process for scavengers to return to the village?"
"Well due to the shielding word, please allow me to praise you with 'cunning'." Kuang Zong Jianying said, the adjective in his heart was actually "despicable".
"Okay, Hank, as you can see, there's nothing to worry about. We can handle it very well." Feng Bujue turned to Hank and said, "Now, before you go to report to your superiors, take us on a tour. Come to your village."
"But according to the regulationsthe scavenging team mustas soon as they return to the village" Hank's words were naturally interrupted by Feng Bujue.
"You have already brought two outsiders into the village, why do you still care about the rules?" Feng Bujue said: "If you go back to life now, we will definitely not be able to follow you, because your superiors will see through that we are not scavengers. Member. We don¡¯t have time to wait for you to report clearly to your superiors alone before taking action. Besides, I don¡¯t trust you to act alone. If you betray us or reveal a flaw, something that no one wants to see will happen. There wasa fight.
In addition, it is undoubtedly a capital crime for you to bring "outsiders" into the village. I think your people in power will not care whether you are threatened or not, nor will they listen to your explanation So, if you plan to sneak away from us Go and inform the patrolman. Not only will your fellow villagers die, but you yourself will also die in the end. "
Feng Bujue watched Hank's expression change and knew that his persuasion was successful again: "Your best choice is to follow what I said and don't go see your superiors first. Instead, take us to the village and wait for us to visit It's over, leave the village quietly, and then go back to life. By then, you will be late at best, and there will be no serious consequences. No one will be hurt, and no one will know that we have been here."
"This is different from what was agreed in advanceyou didn't say this before" Hank replied in a panic, looking a little at a loss.
"Then how do you think things will develop?" Feng Bujue smiled: "The plan has to catch up with the changes."
By now, Hank has boarded the pirate ship. As Feng Bujue said, everyone has weaknesses. If they are caught, they will betray their principles.
At first, Hank just didn't want to be killed. Later, he didn't want to see people in his village being killed. Now, these two threats are on his shoulders at the same time. For him, the only solution is to fight with this man. Two "outsiders" work together in the hope that they can escape without being discovered.
Of course, his thinking was too simple and too naive. If he could think more deeply, he would have understood that even if Feng Bujue and Kuangzong Jianying left quietly in the end, just as they came quietly, Wave your sleeves and don't take away a single life. Things will eventually be revealed Their names were registered when they entered the village. Javi and Joey were considered alive and had returned to the village. How can a living person disappear into thin air? Therefore, in a few days, Hank will still be arrested and questioned. When he can't explain clearly, it will be a felony. To make it clear, he must die.
¡¡¡¡
In the deepest part of Shenyou Village, there is a place called the Temple.
Although this place is called a temple, it actually has nothing to do with the temple. This "temple" was rebuilt from the half of the interstellar spacecraft hundreds of years ago.
In the village, only members of the Coburn family have the right to freely enter and exit the temple, which is equivalent to their palace.
For many years, the Coburn family has regarded itself as the spokesperson of the gods. They convey the will of "God". Of course, this "God" has nothing to do with Christianity. The will represented by the word god can be made up by the Coburn family at will. .
If they want to kill someone, they will say that the gods want him to die; if they want to kill a certain group of people, they will say that these people are allPagans; if they want people to surrender, they will give orders in the name of God; if they want other people's property, wives and daughters, they can also make up corresponding reasons.
In short, the words of the Kouben family are equivalent to divine decree. Anyone who disobeys it is going against God and disregarding the life and death of the entire village.
Of course, religious lies alone cannot rule for that long. What the Coburn family really masters is "knowledge". The information left in the starship is monopolized by them. They only communicate with a small number of useful people ( village priest) to share. In this way, when they are willing, they can show some "miracles" to make those ignorant people fear and convince.
This is why the people at the bottom of Shenyou Village know almost nothing about biology, medicine, and astronomy.
Biology makes people question the Creator, medicine makes people understand death, and astronomy will expose countless religious lies and break people's illusions.
Knowledge changes destiny, and technology changes life.
But the Coburn family is not willing to see any changes in fate. No independent individual or interest group is willing to see the inherently good situation in front of them changed. Therefore, they must know how to "control".
As the saying goes, the people are difficult to govern because of their wisdom. Shenyou Village¡¯s policy of obscuring the people can be said to be very clever. The Coburn family did not completely deny the villagers under their rule access to knowledge. They allowed the people to learn some of them, such as farming, metal smelting, architecture, etc At the same time, they instilled brainwashing religious propaganda to make them believe in the existence of gods. , dare not do anything arrogant.
So, there was such a unique and abnormal civilization.
York Coburn is the current "Son of God" in Shenyou Village. It can also be said that he is the village chief, mayor, chief, president, king
His ancestors were greedy, sinister and far-sighted. After seizing power, he occupied the starship, and then planned this method of rule, which created the great situation for him today.
Feng Bujue had already roughly understood what the social system of Shenyou Village was like from his brief exchange with Hank, so he insisted that this script was just a science fiction setting. What kind of "Son of God"? An old trick played a thousand years ago. The revolutionaries in the 20th century were too lazy to associate themselves with gods. At most, those who had never fought in a war proclaimed themselves generals, and those who had never read a book proclaimed themselves doctors. Thinking that you are the godson, biological son, or second son of someone in heaven cannot be done by people with a little bit of education and intelligence.
When Hank and the two uninvited guests gradually walked deeper into the village, it was the time for Coben to have afternoon tea.
Kouben lived a very regular life. He had three full meals a day and two snacks a day. In the afternoon, he had to drink tea and eat some snacks to satisfy his hunger. He went to bed at nine o'clock in the evening. Basically, he had to change a girl to accompany him every night.
Some people may wonder, there are only a few thousand people in this village, how can he do this? Have all the women in the village slept with him?
In fact, it can be said that he has slept with all the pretty ones. Why? This goes back to the 13th century. At that time, European nobles exercised something called "virgin rights," also called "first night rights." That is, the daughters of tenant farmers had to be given to the local nobles the day before they got married. taste". In Shenyou Village, this bad habit has revived, but it is not so explicit. It is said to be sent to the temple to be "baptized" by the Son of God. The days may be long or short, and some things he feels dissatisfied with will Send them out, and he will keep some for a few more days.
The Coburn family has continued this behavior for many years, which has caused another problem, that is, their descendants are all over the village. Generally speaking, the head of the family will choose the most favored woman as his wife, so there is only one nominal son of God, and his brothers and sisters are family members, and the second generation is demoted to a priest.
But in fact, it is unclear how many people in this village are related to Kou Ben.
Over hundreds of years, it is inevitable that close relatives will meet. Although there are exceptions, statistically speaking, it is a common phenomenon that the genes of offspring become worse and worse. Low athletic ability, physical fitness, low intelligence, and a high incidence of congenital diseases these are all conditions that are difficult to reverse. However, medicine in this village is poor, and there are only a few doctors in the temple. The end result is that the villagers are small, stupid and naive; the population base barely grows because the mortality rate from disease is too high;
The decline and demise of Shenyou Village will come sooner or later, it is just a matter of time.
However, there may be a turning point in this matter, because a guy named Feng Bujue entered the village today (To be continued. - Didn't finish reading?
