Chen Chu and Xia Youhui, wearing armor and carrying heavy weapons, stood out at the street corner. Passers-by couldn't help but take a second look at them.
With the Federation defeating the rebels and suppressing the remnants in the past two days, the city of Lestrup has regained some vitality.
For example, there are obviously more pedestrians on the street, vehicles pass by from time to time, and some shops and restaurants on both sides are open.
However, after the meeting, Xia Youhui's face looked very ugly.
Chen Chu couldn't help but wonder, "Old Xia, are you constipated this morning? Why do you have a sour face?"
Xia Youhui smiled bitterly: "My ugly face is because of the blood race."
"Didn't they say that those who were spread out were ordinary blood species? Even if they were allowed to develop, they would not be able to break through the third level. What is there to worry about?" Chen Chu frowned.
"It's mainly because the blood species reminds me of some bad things."
"What's up?"
Xia Youhui looked solemn: "Under normal circumstances, after we practitioners enter the first level, we absorb the extraordinary energy between heaven and earth to improve ourselves."
“But when we first started more than fifty years ago, the energy of heaven and earth in all places in the world was even poorer than that of Koroya, and practitioners might not be able to break through the second heaven for ten years.”
"Then someone came up with the 'cannibalism' technique, using the giant beasts that first descended that year as a reference."
"When the new era began, giant beasts often descended. The most famous one was the giant python that appeared in the Ohedi Sea. It hovered over the city and swallowed millions of people in one gulp."
"It is said that at that time the sky was covered by a huge swallowing mouth, and countless ordinary people turned into blood foam and rose into the sky like a river of blood."
"The fundamental reason is that after they came to our world from a 'high-energy' world, they were unable to adapt to the environment and instinctively wanted to replenish their energy."
"From this point, some crazy practitioners determined that 'humans' are also energy, and conducted a series of experiments, including refining the flesh and blood of cattle and sheep."
“I don’t know the specific process, but as the blood refining method spread, the entire world fell into a five-year dark age.”
"You have to know that at that time there were 150 countries in the world, large and small, with a population of more than 3 billion. But after those innate awakeners suppressed the chaos and established the Global Federation, there were only more than 2 billion people left."
Chen Chu took a breath of cold air and felt an endless bloody smell coming towards him.
Nearly one billion people died abnormally in ten years. What a desperate and dark era it was. The mountains of corpses and seas of blood are beyond description.
But then Chen Chu frowned: "That's not right. How come I haven't seen this information on the Internet about the death of nearly a billion people?"
Xia Youhui spread his hands and said, "Of course it was erased. The technology in that era was much more backward than it is now, and the information was not as developed as it is now."
"In this situation, some places have seen massacres of cities and towns, and when they spread thousands of miles away, they became rumors, and most people just treated them as idle talk."
"Almost all the people who witnessed and experienced it died, and the few who did were the army and powerful cultivators who went to suppress it."
"In this case, after decades of official downplaying of this history, almost no ordinary people remember these events."
"People today only know that that time period was very chaotic, with giant beasts appearing everywhere to devour humans, and missile bombings by the military in various places killing many people."
"At the same time, this is also one of the reasons why the authorities have such strict control over cultivation methods, fishing reels, and practitioners, to prevent such a situation from happening again."
"I know this because my brother broke through the seventh level last year. He let it slip in his excitement, and only told me this after I questioned him."
"I was completely stunned when I heard it. Hundreds of millions of people were 'eaten' by those crazy practitioners." When he said this, Xia Youhui's face became very ugly.
Chen Chu let out a long breath and said in a deep voice: "So, the blood species is the cannibalism technique from back then?"
“Yes, but not entirely.”
Xia Youhui nodded: "Many of those lunatics back then were also innate awakeners, and they created many kinds of terrifying magic skills that could cause large-scale blood refining and even massacre cities."
"Blood species is just one of them. It is said that this technique has a blood god origin. The strong man who mastered the origin split tens of thousands of blood species and gave them to ordinary people."
"Finally, when those people's strength increases to a certain level, that strong man will take back all his power and become a terrifying existence in a very short time."
Chen Chu suddenly said: "The Supreme God of the Blood God Cult, Akunus."
"It should be this one." Xia Youhui nodded seriously.
"These people deserve to die." Chen Chu's eyes showed murderous intent.
It was normal for practitioners to have ideological struggles and fights over grudges, but no one could tolerate the behavior of "eating" the practitioners of the same race.
Even though Chen Chu had never seen the so-called Blood God, he was full of hostility towards this unknown strong man named Akunus.
…
The population of the urban area of Lestrup is over 700,000, and together with the villages and towns under its jurisdiction, the total population exceeds one million.
In this situation, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack for more than 20 special forces soldiers to search for the traces of cultists and latent blood cultists among millions of people.
But this problem is easy to solve.
After knowing that the blood disciples had to kill people in order to quickly improve their strength, many students came to the local law enforcement bureau, including Chen Chu and others.
As special forces soldiers, they easily gained access to recent death cases.
However, due to the previous rebel incident, a lot of information is currently missing, and the newly established Law Enforcement Bureau only has homicide data from the past week.
"Damn it, everyone line up, one by one." Liu Feng spread out his arms, signaling the students behind him not to push.
Sitting in front of the computer, Bai Mu, who was reading the information, shouted in coordination: "Don't worry, there is only one computer, and I will make way for it once I have identified a target."
Soon it was Chen Chu's turn.
Chen Chu reminded: "Old Xia, exclude those who died of illness or old age, and focus on those who died in the past few days."
With his mind's perception and his five senses that grew stronger as his physique improved, Chen Chu was confident that he would be able to spot the blood disciple as long as he appeared within a dozen meters of him.
"I see."
"Yes, there was a death case here the day before yesterday. The victims were two adults. Their bodies were found withered and yellow in the ditch."
"Okay, okay, it's our turn."
As soon as Xia Youhui identified a target, he was urged by the students behind him to move aside. Each of them was eager to eliminate the evil for the people.
More than half an hour later, the two men appeared in the suburbs, their eyes sweeping over the low, dilapidated brick houses, the narrow, dilapidated roads, and the debris and garbage on both sides.
Not far away, a few dark-skinned old men with tattered clothes were sitting at the door with lifeless eyes.
Chen Chu's first impression of this place was that it was dirty, dilapidated, and desperate, without a trace of modern civilization.
It is conceivable how damnable the original Koroya royal family was. No wonder they were overthrown by the rebels. It's a pity that those people shouldn't have been involved with the evil god cult.
Otherwise, even if they overthrew the Koroya royal family, the Federation would not intervene.
Of course, Chen Chu knew that his idea was a bit presumptuous. After all, the Luoya royal family controlled the cultivation techniques and the military power, and these ordinary people had no power to resist at all.
This is also the reason why the Evil God Cult can develop secretly here. In desperation, ordinary people will not give up hope, even if this power is poisonous.
However, the government here is now supported by the federal government, and it should gradually develop in line with international standards in the future.
"Let's go." Chen Chu strode in, and Xia Youhui followed behind.
The alloy-cast combat boots made a dull sound as they stepped on the ground. When the two men walked past, the old man sitting at the door just glanced at them weakly.
Old people basking in the sun, children hiding behind the door secretly looking at them, insects crawling on the ground, and rats looking for food under the garbage dump.
Everything around you can be seen clearly under the perception of your mind's eyes.
