Let's start by analyzing the sun
#790 - 【776】This is human nature
A dozen seconds later.
The space-time capsule finally fell.
One of the capsules flew over everyone's heads at high speed and happened to crash at the foot of this Celestial Tower Qing Luo.
"Boom!"
There was a loud noise.
The massive tree produced a noticeable tremor.
Everyone felt the tremor and was startled.
A group of people stood up and began discussing it animatedly.
"What happened?"
"It sounded like something fell from the sky and hit the ground."
"Could there be any danger?"
"Who cares! That's something for the Wan Hao people to worry about."
Cheng Han didn't speak, but glanced at the halo suspended in front of him.
The entire process of the space-time capsule falling was clearly recorded by the halo.
Upon impact with the ground.
The outer layer of the space-time capsule absorbed most of the kinetic energy and transferred it to the ground.
This was the source of the loud noise.
With the point of impact as the center, cracks instantly appeared on the ground within a few kilometers.
This showed how enormous the impact force was.
The thousands of Calamity Insects loaded inside the capsule were unharmed, thanks to the protection of the capsule.
This was also the first time Cheng Han had witnessed the landing of a space-time capsule, and he watched with great interest.
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound.
The space-time capsule burst open.
A large group of fleshy balls covered in slippery liquid appeared on the screen.
Sharp claws emerged from the fleshy balls, and in a few strokes, tore open a layer of fleshy membrane.
One by one, the curled-up Calamity Insects revealed their true forms.
They let out sharp hissing sounds and vigorously flapped their two pairs of membranous wings.
They were all Calamity Midges, numbering over two thousand.
Cheng Han smiled slightly and muttered to himself, "The Divine General chose flying insects, a good calculation indeed."
From a psychological point of view, midges can fly in swarms in the air, which can bring greater fear to ordinary people.
He also noticed a small detail.
Without exception, the eyes of the thousands of midges all carried a sense of bewilderment.
This was obviously because they had lost contact with their commander, and they were a little at a loss.
Soon.
The swarm took action.
An exceptionally burly midge hissed loudly.
"Hiss~"
It was twice the size of other midges, significantly stronger than a Mystic Warrior, and should be the leader of this swarm.
The leader flapped its wings vigorously, creating a strong airflow, and soared straight into the night sky.
The flying insects saw this and flew up one after another.
The direction of this swarm was directly towards the towering Celestial Tower Qing Luo.
Or rather - the city on the giant tree.
Deep within the bloodline of every Calamity Insect was engraved the powerful instinct for slaughter, so they would definitely start a brutal massacre and would never choose to hide.
Subsequently.
The halo dissipated completely.
Nearby.
The neighbors were all alarmed by the loud noise, and a large group of Qing Luo people poured out to watch the excitement, completely unaware that death was rapidly approaching.
The discussions grew louder and louder.
"What are the Wan Hao people doing? It's been so long and they haven't done anything about it."
"They ride roughshod over the Qing Luo people every day, but ignore even the smallest of problems."
"Damn Wan Hao dogs!"
It could be heard.
The Qing Luo Mystic Overseer was hidden among the ordinary people, and had instilled a lot of anti-Wan Hao ideas, which had affected all the surrounding Qing Luo people.
Cheng Han's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't say anything.
He looked at a little girl next to him and said with a smile, "Ai Luo, it might be a little dangerous outside, go back to the house with Uncle."
This little fellow was an orphan, twelve years old this year. Her parents died in an accident a few years ago, and since then she had been living off the kindness of the community.
Ai Luo obediently said "Okay".
Cheng Han took her hand and quickly walked into a tree hole.
"Bang!"
The wooden door was closed.
The Qing Luo Mystic Overseer, now a puppet, also left silently.
Not long after.
Disaster struck.
The crowd scattered and fled, and various panicked voices came out.
"There are monsters in the sky!"
"Run!"
"I'm in so much pain!"
"Save me!"
Interspersed with some strange noises.
"Whoosh~ Whoosh~"
This seemed to be the sound of flapping wings.
"Crunch! Crunch!"
This seemed to be the sound of chewing.
Inside the house.
The dilapidated wooden door couldn't block the various sounds at all.
Ai Luo was trembling with fear, her eyes full of terror.
Cheng Han covered the little girl's mouth and whispered, "Don't make a sound."
Ai Luo nodded vigorously, closing her eyes in fear.
After a few minutes.
The noise gradually decreased.
The sound of flapping wings quickly faded away.
"Ah~"
The screams also faded away.
It seemed that some Qing Luo people were taken away by the monsters as prey.
In the silent night sky, their wails sounded particularly clear.
The little girl trembled even more violently.
Cheng Han immediately recognized that one of the screams belonged to the guy who had been cursing the Wan Hao dogs earlier.
He smiled silently.
He also knew that after the attack, no Qing Luo people would resist the mandatory conscription order anymore.
After all, only when the army was formed could the safety of ordinary Qing Luo people be guaranteed.
Even if they knew that this was actually sending their compatriots to the battlefield as cannon fodder.
And this.
Is human nature.
After a while.
It was completely quiet outside.
Ai Luo finally stopped trembling, but she still looked terrified, clutching Cheng Han's clothes tightly.
Cheng Han then released his right hand, allowing her to speak.
The little girl stammered, "Uncle Bazha, what should we do now?"
As she spoke, she turned her head to look outside, obviously intending to go out and save people.
She was clearly a kind-hearted little girl.
Cheng Han, however, appeared quite indifferent: "It's very dangerous outside, the monsters might come back."
Ai Luo obediently said "Okay" again.
The dark room returned to silence.
A few seconds later.
Cheng Han sighed intentionally: "If the Qing Luo Legion had been successfully formed, perhaps not so many people would have died today."
He paused and added: "Going against the Wan Hao people in everything may not be a good thing."
Ai Luo was simple-minded and didn't understand that this was brainwashing.
She thought it seemed to make sense, so she nodded in agreement: "Yeah."
The little girl showed a worried look again, and pitifully asked: "Uncle Bazha, will you go to the battlefield?"
At this moment, in her eyes, this uncle was her only support.
Cheng Han shook his head: "I have connections to get into the Conscription Office. As long as I do a good job in the Conscription Office, I won't be sent to the battlefield."
He had already decided to identify the resisters among the Qing Luo people one by one, and then send them to the battlefield to resist the insect swarm.
Cheng Han touched the little girl's head again: "Ai Luo, you will follow me from now on."
The Divine General Lie Feng had forcibly brainwashed a Mystic Overseer, and he planned to imitate it while he had nothing to do.
"Yes!"
The little girl nodded vigorously.
*
The next day.
The casualty results of the insect swarm attack came out - six thousand people were killed and more than ten thousand were injured.
And this city, located on the Celestial Tower Qing Luo, had a total population of just over eight hundred thousand, which was considered a fairly large city.
Calculated proportionally.
On average, there was one casualty for every fifty people.
This was a very alarming proportion.
Naturally.
The entire city was in a state of panic.
Cheng Han used a little trick and easily became an employee of the Conscription Office, donning a "tiger skin".
The method was simple - a little mental suggestion.
With his current attainments in the mental field, even a Mystic Overseer expert would hardly be able to see any clues.
In the past.
A Qing Luo person wearing the uniform of the Conscription Office would definitely be greeted with a lot of contemptuous looks when walking on the street.
If it was in a small alley, they might even be put in a sack and beaten up.
But now.
The hostile gazes had decreased by more than half.
At noon.
Cheng Han participated in a conscription outing.
The action was led by a conscription officer named "Cam", leading six conscription members.
Cheng Han was one of them.
Half an hour later.
The team arrived at a group of tree holes.
The so-called "tree hole group" was a gathering area formed by the lower-class poor huddling together for warmth.
Each household, that is, each tree hole, usually had secret passages connecting them.
The interior of the tree hole group thus formed a complex network of secret passages.
For the Conscription Office.
This kind of place had always been a difficult problem for conscription, because as long as the Qing Luo people hid in the tree hole group, it was almost impossible for outsiders to find them.
Just like before.
After a group of people approached, every household quickly closed their doors.
This was not surprising.
No one wanted to be conscripted.
Conscription Officer Cam strode to a wooden door and turned to gesture: "Maka, knock on the door."
"Dong! Dong!"
A conscription member immediately reached out and knocked on a wooden door.
Another conscription member shouted directly: "Gute, open the door!"
There was no movement in the house, as if it were an empty house.
Cam cursed: "That bastard hid in the mouse hole again. If I meet Gute next time, I will definitely catch him and send him to prison."
Cheng Han couldn't help but shake his head, sighing inwardly at the incompetence of this group of people.
He silently took a few steps forward and slapped the door next to him hard.
"Pa!"
The door bolt jumped up automatically.
The wooden door opened directly.
The conscription officer was stunned and shouted: "Bazha, what are you doing?"
Cheng Han ignored him and calmly called out a series of names: "Haba, Saga, Anute, Nui, you guys listen."
He paused and shouted loudly: "Our city needs more warriors, otherwise more Qing Luo people will be killed by monsters the next time they attack."
"If you refuse to be conscripted, more Qing Luo people will die because of your cowardice, and even your family members will be killed."
This was moral kidnapping.
Cheng Han used a little trick in his voice, which could be heard within a hundred meters.
"If you accept the conscription and become soldiers, you will get generous military pay, which can allow your families to live a better life."
"The city will also build more factories, and your family members will have the opportunity to work in the factories, and the family can get more income."
This was giving benefits.
Cheng Han rambled on for a while, and then threatened bluntly:
"I know the corner under the bed is the entrance to the underground passage. Don't force me to drag you out."
"At that time, you will not only be forcibly sent to the battlefield, but your family members will not get any benefits."
This was the big stick.
Objectively speaking.
This speech was definitely the most standard "model essay".
In the distance.
A middle-aged man "happened" to hear the above passage and couldn't help but praise: "This person is a talent!"
His skin was fairer and his eyes were single-lidded, obviously a Wan Hao person.
The middle-aged man paused and added: "He should be given an important position!"
Beside the tree hole group.
Conscription Officer Cam looked annoyed: "Bazha, did I let you speak?"
Cheng Han was too lazy to look at him and calmly shouted: "I'll give you one minute to consider."
Cam was so angry that his face turned livid: "You bastard, get back here..."
Before he finished speaking.
This guy heard a voice: "Which conscription officer was speaking just now?"
The speaker was a young man with a look of arrogance.
Judging from this person's temperament, his identity seemed to be very unusual.
Cam looked back, was stunned for a moment, and then a fat face piled up with smiles: "Secretary Hart, I..."
The young man called "Hart" interrupted unceremoniously: "Who was speaking just now?"
This person was the secretary of the city governor, and also a noble in the Qing Luo clan, so the conscription officer had a flattering look on his face.
Cheng Han took the initiative to stand out: "I am Bazha, I was speaking just now."
Secretary Hart took a deep look at him and said seriously: "The city governor has ordered that from today onwards, you will be the deputy director of the Conscription Office of this city."
The conscription officer was stunned.
This guy was holding back, planning to give Bazha a severe lesson later.
Who knew that in an instant, the other party had become his immediate superior.
Just then.
"Ka! Ka!"
There was a noise in the house.
A group of people looked over when they heard the sound.
They saw several dark-skinned Qing Luo youths walking out of the wooden door timidly.
They were obviously the Qing Luo people whose names had been called out just now.
The few words Cheng Han said had forced these people to come out on their own.
Secretary Hart's eyes swept over a few people, and then locked on Cheng Han, showing a smile for the first time: "Deputy Director Bazha, you are very good."
Cheng Han nodded: "Please greet His Excellency the City Governor for me. I am on a mission now and will definitely go to see His Excellency later."
Secretary Hart was very friendly: "Of course."
Conscription Officer Cam was extremely embarrassed, not knowing where to put his hands and feet.
The conscription members next to him all looked dumbfounded.
Previously, in their impression, Bazaar was just a new recruit who didn't talk much, and didn't seem to have anything special about him.
Who knew that this guy would rise through the ranks like a rocket after just saying a few words, climbing from a recruitment officer to the high position of Deputy Director.
He's really amazing!
