Chapter 1151 Refugee Gathering Group
Chapter 1151 Refugee Gathering Group
When Chu Chen's foot landed firmly, the black cloth covering his face was removed.
Chu Chen and Chen Qingxuan opened their eyes and looked at everything in front of them. They saw that the place was lush and green, with fertile fields and thatched cottages scattered about.
Everywhere you look, there are figures working on the newly cleared paths through the fields.
"I never expected that there would be such a large human settlement here."
Seeing this, Chu Chen gave them a thumbs up.
"You flatter me, sir. I will take you to see our leader. She will be very happy when she finds out that you have come to save us."
After saying that, Uncle Ba led Chu Chen toward a mud-brick house in the center of the city.
It's more like a village than a city, except the village is very large, with hundreds of thousands of people.
Chu Chen led Chen Qingxuan directly forward, and about half an hour later, the two arrived at the unusual-looking mud-brick building.
"Uncle Ba is back. He was on patrol today. I wonder how things went!"
Just as the group entered the house, a pleasant voice reached their ears.
Chu Chen looked up and saw a woman dressed in hemp clothing smiling at the three of them.
Chu Chen chuckled inwardly, thinking to himself, "There's a woman here, why does he keep arranging women for me? Doesn't he even consider whether I can handle it?"
"Mu Qing, I encountered a pair of cannibals, but I also met a young master, so I brought him to you!"
After hearing this, Mu Qing turned her gaze to Chu Chen, who was standing next to her Eighth Uncle.
She laughed randomly: "Uncle Ba, I've already told you, you don't need to worry about my affairs. I have no intention of getting married!"
Mu Qing, Chu Chen almost misheard, thinking to himself, thank goodness, she's not married.
However, this girl must have some extraordinary abilities, otherwise, this old man would not be so respectful in front of her.
Seeing Chu Chen's confusion, the old man immediately explained, "Sir, this is our leader, Ji Muqing. She is an extraordinary expert who can fight ten cannibals alone without being at a disadvantage."
Introducing me, Ji Muqing, the old man then pointed at Chu Chen and said, "Muqing, you've misunderstood Uncle Ba. We've encountered a cannibalistic squad of two hundred people. This gentleman, lead the two of them and eliminate them all within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."
"Moreover, this lord said that he came out of the city to save us common people, which is why he brought them to see you!"
After the introductions were finished, Chu Chen stepped forward and said, "Miss Mu Qing is incredibly powerful; we admire her."
“Young Master is the truly powerful one. Mu Qing is just a woman who relies on this natural advantage to survive in this world.”
"May I ask your names, gentlemen?"
"My name is Chu Chen, and this is my good brother Chen Qingxuan."
Chu Chen introduced himself neither humbly nor arrogantly, and then, at Ji Muqing's prompting, sat down in the chair in front of her.
Ji Muqing had hot tea served to the two of them, and then, together with Uncle Ba, they began to chat.
After the conversation, Chu Chen understood their arrangements and the overall situation here.
These people were all refugees living outside the city.
The term "vagrants" refers to people who have been forgotten by those in positions of power and influence after countless years of reproduction.
To prevent cannibal attacks, the city dwellers built a very high wall outside the city, which blocked the cannibals but also kept out the refugees.
They did not have household registration managed by the city and did not belong to any branch of the city's nobility, so they were isolated.
They became food for the cannibals, which also deterred them from attacking so relentlessly.
But humans are humans after all, and their survival skills are extraordinary. So, after countless years of fleeing and hiding,
The Ji Muqing family found this place and carved a passage through the cliff, truly making it a place where one man could hold off ten thousand.
Humans settled down here temporarily.
To become even stronger, the Ji family continuously recruited members from outside, and after thousands of years of development, it has reached its current scale.
"Approximately how many people are here now?"
Chu Chen asked the question that concerned him.
"Young Master Chu, we currently have about 200,000 able-bodied men and women and about 160,000 elderly, weak, women and children here."
With a population of over 300,000, it's equivalent to a small county town.
Chu Chen was very satisfied with this number, and with the unique conditions here, the path to unifying this world might begin here.
"Miss Mu Qing, based on the records of your ancestors and your experience, how many people are still in this world outside the city?"
Faced with Chu Chen's question, Mu Qing shook her head.
“Young Master Chu, our place is too isolated, so we have no way of knowing the answer to this question.”
"Uncle Ba said that Young Master Chu wants to lead us to eliminate the cannibals, but with our current strength and manpower, it is not an easy task. Even if you can kill two hundred with two men, it is still just the two of you."
After telling Chu Chen everything, Ji Muqing expressed her concerns.
Originally, she thought that the two were just showing off their bravery; how could their individual strength possibly stand against a powerful cannibal?
Before Chu Chen could speak, Uncle Ba recounted everything that Chu Chen and Chen Qingxuan had shown him.
Ji Muqing's beautiful eyes trembled at these words, her face filled with disbelief.
He hurriedly asked Chu Chen, "Does Young Master Chu really possess such a divine artifact? Moreover, is Young Master Chu a god descended from heaven, capable of taking objects from afar and conjuring things out of thin air?"
Chu Chen smiled after hearing this, waved his hand, and took out a bottle of women's perfume.
"I came in a hurry, so this little bit of perfume is just a token of my appreciation."
Watching Chu Chen's actions, Ji Muqing took the glass bottle from Chu Chen's hand in disbelief, and then her mind went back to the records of her ancestors.
That is, there is a type of person in this world who can possess something called space.
Moreover, this type of person is incredibly powerful, capable of moving mountains and filling seas.
Could this young master before us be... a god-like figure?
That's right, her ancestors did see those kinds of people. It was before the power of heaven and earth had completely dissipated. Those who came in to fight against the cannibals at that time were all super experts.
Cannibals are nothing more than people with a high capacity for reproduction.
If the power of heaven and earth hadn't suddenly failed to be depleted, they would have been wiped out long ago.
After listening, Chu Chen nodded without denying it: "So, Miss Mu Qing now knows that I have the confidence to lead you out of this land and into a wider world."
Ji Muqing was overjoyed. According to his ancestors' records, this continent was boundless, and at the end of the land was the sea, which was full of delicious food.
If they could get out, who would want to stay in this tiny place?
So she quickly stood up, bowed to Chu Chen, and said, "Young Master Chu, if you can lead my people out of this world, Mu Qing is willing to follow you and serve you for life."
