The Great Zhou Dynasty, within the territory of Pingguan Mansion in Qianzhou, in the remote Changqu County.
Meng Chuan and his wife were walking on the street.
"In one year, a county town has become like this." Liu Qiyue said softly. At a glance, many places were in ruins, which were the ruins left by the demon king's attack. Those who survived did not rebuild. Nowadays, as long as I can barely survive, that's good.
"Changqu County had a population of more than 90,000 a year ago, but now it only has a population of about 20,000." Meng Chuan said, "Some people were slaughtered by the demon king, and more of them left the county and preferred to live in the wild. This is the most remote place in our rescue area. Many times, when we arrive, the demon king has retreated."
Liu Qiyue nodded.
The two of them mainly protect the five prefectures with Gushan Prefecture and Dongning Prefecture as the core. How far is it? The efficiency is greatly reduced.
Because the demon clan attacks multiple places at the same time, Meng Chuan and the others naturally save the nearby areas first and the places they care about most first. The order for distant places is moved to the back. Especially as some counties become more and more dilapidated, it is natural to save the prosperous counties first and the dilapidated counties to continue to the back.
I have no choice but to do this.
But this is the scope of their rescue after all. Seeing the dilapidated and decayed county town, the Mengchuan couple also felt quite guilty.
"Baozi, I'm selling steamed buns, hot meat buns." A hawking voice came.
Meng Chuan looked around and saw that among the dilapidated ruins, there were also buildings that were barely intact, and there was a bun seller in one of them.
It’s just that there are few people doing business in the county now, and its popularity is too low.
"Mom, I want to eat meat buns." A child emerged from a ruins and looked at the bun shop with greedy eyes.
"It's good to be full, but you still want to eat meat dumplings? Hurry up and leave." The woman also emerged from the ruins. Their home was hidden in a self-dug tunnel deep in the ruins. A family of five The mouth lives here.
"Mom." The child's eyes were red, "I haven't eaten meat for more than half a year, and I want to eat it."
"Then you are here." The woman carried The basket moves away and the child has no choice but to follow.
Meng Chuan and his wife watched this scene from a distance.
"Let's go." Meng Chuan said, as gods and demons, what can they do?
The couple left quietly.
On the way back to Gushan Mansion, the two of them were walking almost close to the ground. Meng Chuan also opened his third eye between his eyebrows - the Thunder Eye, which greatly expanded the field of thunder and magnetism. It can penetrate half a mile underground! Although the demon clan usually hides very deep underground, there are very few within half a mile. But occasionally you can still encounter them, or you may encounter monsters fleeing underground. That will all be unexpected gains. In the past year, they had tried their luck and killed the Hundred Demon King using this method.
The thunder field can affect light, making it impossible for outsiders to see the couple with the naked eye.
"Huh?" Meng Chuan suddenly frowned.
"What's wrong?" Liu Qiyue was confused.
"Let's go."
He took his wife to a lake two or three miles away. The reeds grew very high in the lake.
There is a small wooden boat, but the lake is churning next to the wooden boat.
The Meng Chuan couple appeared on the small wooden boat. With a wave of their hands, the Great Sun Realm's true energy penetrated into the water, cut the water plants, and brought the two children up under protection.
One child turned pale and hugged his companion tightly, while the other older child was gasping for air.
"Third brother, third brother, wake up." The eldest child looked at his younger brother's face turning pale and almost burst into tears. He even begged to the Meng Chuan couple beside him, "Two adults, please Please save my brother, please save my brother."
"He is fine," Meng Chuan said.
The words just fell.
"Gugu." The pale-faced child suddenly spit out several mouthfuls of water before he woke up.
The older child just breathed a sigh of relief.
"Wherever your home is, I will take you back." Liu Qiyue said softly. They also have two children, and now they feel distressed when they see these children.
"It's over there, in the reed marsh." The older child pointed in one direction, "About half a mile away."
"Okay."
Meng Chuan nodded.
Immediately, the small wooden boat they were standing on accelerated rapidly, and the speed soared so sharply that the two children on the boat could not believe it. How could their small wooden boat be so fast? While they were still dazed, the small wooden boat had already arrived half a mile away. There were five boats in the reed swamp. There were clothes drying outside the boat, as well as some pots and pans.
Obviously, the people on the five ships lived on the ships.
"That's our family's boat." The eldest child pointed to one of the boats.
"Mother," the eldest child shouted loudly, and a dirty-dressed woman came out of the cabin. When the woman saw the Mengchuan couple's extraordinary clothes, she couldn't help but be respectful and scolded her in a low voice. My own child: "You two idiots, I won't be able to see you two when I turn around."
"We went fishing, and my third brother fell into the water and got entangled in aquatic plants. I think When I went to save him, my third brother hugged me. It was these two adults who saved us," the older child said, while the younger child was still a little weak.
"Thank you two adults for saving my child." After hearing this, the woman immediately knelt down with gratitude.
The Meng Chuan couple looked at the five ships and easily sensed the dilapidation inside the five ships. They nodded without saying anything and left in a flash.
"You two bastards, I told you not to go into the water when there are no adults, but you still go into the water. Are you trying to kill your mother? If you two die, how will your mother live?" This woman Only then did the man become afraid of crying, and the two children leaned against their mother and did not dare to say a word.
......
The Meng Chuan couple continued on their way.
"Those five boats are five families. It seems that they usually live on the boats." Meng Chuan said, "Just hiding in the reeds."
"The Demon King is hard to find, at least it's safer." Liu Qiyue said.
"Nowadays, the more remote places are, the more people live in them." Meng Chuan said, "But in many remote places, survival is very difficult."
"Just the state In a big city like Mansion, who wouldn't have difficulty in other places?" Liu Qiyue said softly, "Wubao has completely disappeared, small villages are everywhere, and the demon king is attacking. Although the probability of encountering the demon king in a small village is very low, if you encounter the demon king, you will die. Undoubtedly. Most of the counties in the world were desolate. Too many people died, and plagues broke out in some places. Fortunately, gods and demons came to deal with the plague immediately, but there were too many of them.
"Yeah." Meng Chuan nodded.
One year.
The couple rescued them everywhere. Even though the demon clan was very cunning, they had killed thousands of demon kings in total.
But what does it matter?
Indeed, most inner disciples are safe now and are practicing in the mountains. Occasionally, there are lords, gods and demons who lead them to attack the demon king's lair, or carry out interception and killing missions to hone their disciples.
The only ones who really work hard are the disciples who are elite enough.
From the battle damage ratio, it is more than ten times better than guarding the city gate. After all, these powerful gods and demons can massacre demon kings on a large scale.
"But the mortal people have suffered too much loss." Meng Chuan sighed secretly.
Including people in the capital city are also struggling to survive. Because of the high food prices, survival is naturally not easy.
There are countless mortal deaths in the world.
It is also difficult for the living.
Meng Chuan and the others, gods and demons, tried their best to maintain a living space for people.
"If I could become a lord god and demon, with stronger strength and faster speed, I believe I could protect more cities and counties. I believe I could save hundreds of millions more people." Meng Chuan said silently Dao, at this time, the stronger the gods and demons are, the more mortals they can protect. It also made many gods and demons, including Meng Chuan, more eager to become stronger.
Become stronger and protect more humans.
"Huh?"
Meng Chuan and his wife felt heat in their arms and immediately took out the inspection order from their arms. There was a red halo in one part of the inspection order.
"Asking for help, Dongning Prefecture Town Youxian County?" The couple looked at each other.
"Let's go." Meng Chuan took his wife Liu Qiyue and headed straight to Dongning Mansion as fast as possible.
