Alien Dust

Chapter 370 Weird Laws
"You take some new recruits, and I'll take some young ones." Le Wei pointed at Wu Hen and said.

Wu Hen led four prison guards and walked towards an area of ​​the town covered with swamp redwoods.

The old houses here are grafted onto swamp trees, and the low houses seem to serve as incubators for the trees, with branches sticking out of broken windows and clinging to the walls.

When you look through those hollow and damaged places, you will always meet a pair of nervous and strange eyes. In the dim light, you can't tell whether they are human or some other creature.

Although the Daxuan Dynasty was technologically advanced, many of its people were displaced. They were unevolved creatures and were not easily targeted by powerful predators. They only needed a small amount of food and a few weapons for self-defense to survive on this land.

Therefore, it is not just Wu Hen and others who have just entered this evil spirit town who are looking for weapons. Those who have wandered here will also stick together and collect as much usable supplies as possible in the town.

"Bai Luobo, there are some iron tools here. Do you want to take them?" asked prison guard Cheng Liang.

"What's your smelting level?" Wu Hen did not enter the room.

"It's just an ordinary piece of ironware from a small workshop, with the blacksmith's name engraved on it. It probably doesn't have any special abilities." Cheng Liang said.

"Okay, take it. At least it has evolved from the Stone Age to the Bronze and Iron Age." Wu Hen nodded.

Cheng Liang walked out of the house holding the iron tools. Just when he was about to distribute the broken iron blades to other people, a group of vagrants surrounded him, staring at them with ill intentions.

"We found the things first, put them down!" ordered a leading man among the wanderers.

Wu Hen glanced at the group of people and saw that there were at least a dozen of them. All of them looked well-fed and none of them looked pale or skinny.

Prison guard Cheng Liang was somewhat dissatisfied and subconsciously wanted to draw his gun, but he found that he had nothing on his waist, so he clenched his fists.

"It's okay, give them some iron tools." Wu Hen patted Cheng Liang on the shoulder and had no intention of conflicting with these vagrants.

After handing the ironware to them, Wu Hen also looked up and down at the wanderer leader.

"You are quite sensible." said the leader of the wanderers.

"Did you encounter anything here?" Wu Hen asked.

"We just arrived, and suddenly a huge steel city descended from the sky and occupied our underground bunker. We didn't want to become their labor slaves, so we hid here." said one of the homeless men.

"Oh, oh, we are almost the same, let's go to that fucking Iron Eagle City." Wu Hen nodded and cursed casually.

"Yeah, fuck those city people!"

The wanderers walked in another direction. Like Wu Hen and his companions, they collected information about the town while looking for weapons they could use.

Wu Hen led four prison guards towards other small workshops. There were only brick and tile houses there, without even windows, and some rusty parts were scattered all over the ground.

"There is a relatively complete workbench here. Let me see if these parts on the ground can be assembled into a Yuanji pistol." Cheng Liang said.

"You have this skill?" the others asked in surprise.

"It's just a little hobby of mine. Actually, before I became a prison guard, I wanted to be a mechanical engineer. The Yuanqi pistol should be the entry point to this industry." Cheng Liang said.

"Tell me what you need and I can find it for you." Wu Hen said.

Cheng Liang told Wu Hen all the parts and accessories he needed, and described their materials, appearance, and styles.

Wu Hen has psychic vision and can easily find cigarette butts even in a huge garbage dump. Although he knows nothing about gun parts, he can find them quickly through his psychic vision.

"It seems like this was a town in the old days, with indigenous people living here." Several other prison guards began to check the surrounding situation.

They noticed that this house was previously inhabited by a family of four. The man had his own small warehouse, and judging from the shelves covered with climbing plants, there were quite a few self-assembled weapons placed on them. However, those complete, ready-made weapons had been taken away, and the parts scattered on the ground were buried in the soil, with no one paying attention to them.

"Why are you still concerned about the customs and habits of this town?" Wu Hen asked in confusion when he saw several other prison guards collecting this information.

"The birth of evil spirits does not appear out of nowhere. They are often related to the people and things in this place. The more we understand the past of this place, the more we can understand the birth of evil spirits and find the root means to deal with them." said female prison guard Hu Lu.

"Yes, the evil spirits possess strange powers, which are very similar to the laws of the other dimension. Our technology will be ineffective, and your extraordinary powers will be suppressed. The best way to deal with the evil spirits is to understand their birth, because evil spirits also have their taboos and fears. The more powerful the evil spirits are, the more they tend to follow their own laws to hunt. If we understand the source of their laws, we can avoid them very well."

Several prison guards were talking to each other. It was obvious that they were all well educated and had some basic understanding of the various creatures existing in the alien wasteland.

Wu Hen nodded secretly. If the people in his hometown could also get such popularization, there wouldn't be so many deaths when they fell into the alien dimension at the beginning. The Daxuan Dynasty obviously wrote evil spirits into the textbooks, requiring every citizen to study them seriously, especially these public officials, who also shouldered the responsibility of exorcising evil spirits to a certain extent.

"I have discovered that the nemesis of technology is not the extraordinary, but the weird." Wu Hen had a flash of inspiration in his mind.

"Then the nemesis of the extraordinary is our technology? It seems that you extraordinary people are also good at dealing with weirdness." Cheng Liang said.

"It's possible. There may be such a restraining relationship in the same dimension. Haha." Wu Hen laughed.

He smiled quite happily.

It was like discovering an incredible secret in this alien wasteland!

"You mean, you can't use the extraordinary now, is this weirdness in a higher dimension?"

"Hmph, I don't know if it's a higher dimension, but what suppresses my power is the anti-magnetic force, the same flying claw anti-magnetic force you used to capture me before. Isn't this thing your Daxuan's black technology?" Wu Hen said unhappily.

"Oh, yes, so the restraint relationship you just mentioned still holds true."

"I have assembled it. It's just like a new one. It's a Yuanji pistol. I only need to inject a little bit of Yuanyou into it, and it can fire bullets that can scare away evil spirits!" Cheng Liang was a little proud. His own little hobby played a key role at this moment.

"What about you? What did you gain?" Wu Hen asked the female prison guard Hu Lu.

"We only know that the male owner of this family had an affair with his female neighbor. It has little to do with the history of the town, and it doesn't seem like it would give birth to evil spirits." Female prison guard Hu Lu sighed, having gained nothing.

"It's hard to say. The four of them suddenly disappeared. Maybe the hostess turned from love to hate, bought a lot of poison, and then gave it to the whole family to drink. Then the hostess turned into a resentful evil spirit and brutally killed the female neighbor who destroyed her family. This is how the evil spirits in textbooks were born. In addition, this town is near a dark energy spring with strong dark radiation, which is most likely to breed evil spirits!" At this time, Cheng Liang developed a very rich association.

Others were already rolling their eyes.

The stories in the most unpopular script-killing game room in their town would not be written so clichéd!
"In short, the evil spirits basically come from the local residents of this town?" Wu Hen asked.

“Basically.”

"I've been to a jungle town before, and there was an evil spirit there that couldn't make any sound," Wu Hen said.

"The Silent Evil Spirit is a classic in textbooks. However, with the development of the times, this kind of textbook-like evil spirit is rarely encountered. Perhaps it is because their methods are too well known to our people... Did you use your extraordinary power to smash her to pieces with one punch?" Cheng Liang said.

"Of course, I'll punch it and turn it into an iron octopus." Wu Hen replied calmly.

"The silent evil spirits must be local residents. Most of them have hearing abnormalities. We normal people cannot hear the roar of the engine, which is ultrasonic. But when they are alive, they are tortured by the engine and cannot sleep at night. You also know how violent a creature a person who does not sleep for a long time will become under the infection of dark radiation..." said the female prison guard Hu Lu.

"Haha, let alone evil spirits, even a living person like me would turn into a demon if I were disturbed by the noise outside and the noise upstairs and downstairs in the middle of the night!" Wu Hen said.

"Then have you ever seen the evil spirit of fire in the textbook?" Cheng Liang asked.

"No, I haven't actually been to many places with evil spirits." Wu Hen said.

"That's an evil spirit born in a fire. Many of our energy drives are accompanied by high temperatures, which can easily cause fires. Sometimes a village or a town is burned down to ashes, and it's easy for such evil spirits to be born in a fire."

"I understand. It's what we often call ghosts over there." Wu Hen suddenly realized.

Yes, since myths exist in the other dimension, it means that ghosts and demons also exist. It’s just that the source of their birth is not resentment. Resentment is merely an inducement. What really makes them powerful and difficult to defeat is technological pollution and dark radiation.

You can call them ghosts, you can call them evil spirits, you can also call them zombies and evil spirits, but in this pavilion they are collectively called evil spirits. They live in places where the glory of prosperous technology cannot reach, accompany humans, but are essentially different from humans.

"But after saying so much, we still don't know what the evil spirit here is."

"Why did it get dark so quickly?"

"We have no clues!"

"Let's find a reasonable shelter. Generally, evil spirits have places they dare not enter, such as temples, churches, and the houses of their relatives when they were alive..."

They had a really fun chat, and Wu Hen suddenly had a clearer understanding of his previous experiences in the other world.

But I didn't do anything. I knew not to make any sound in the jungle town before, but in this swamp town, there was no useful information. I couldn't just draw my sword when the evil spirit came out!
The strange power has a strong ability to kill instantly. When the magnetism is banned, even a super evolutionist like me will become a little Karami!
