Armor-piercing bullets don't believe in carbon-based monsters

Chapter 73 Mist
Although it is said to be divided, it is obviously impossible to achieve perfection in a short period of time in terms of beating the landlords and dividing the land.

But Chen Jian had no intention of achieving perfection.

He just wanted to show his attitude to the residents here.

Everyone knows that it is not easy to count so many things and divide them fairly.

But seeing those warriors who had just killed the monsters and made the Mechanicus flee in panic, and who had no chance but were directly pressed to death in the lake and became food for fish, and then personally standing in front to divide the property among them, the educational effect produced by this incident could be said to be stronger than anything else.

Thus, in this apocalyptic wasteland, such a happy scene actually appeared.

After most of the things were simply divided, the people here also deeply realized a problem:
Now the things belong to us, but what about in the future?

What should we do if the Adeptus Mechanicus comes again?
In fact, the Mechanicus's land policy in the wasteland is not "particularly harsh". It's just that because fertile land and resources are too popular and security is too difficult, they have "appropriately" increased security taxes and rents.

To be precise, the lives of the common people here are similar to those of the tenants who lived under the protection of the landlords during the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

A large amount of output was plundered, and what they were left with were only a few resources that were barely enough to feed themselves and survive.

Although the person in charge has changed now and taxes may have to be collected in the future, at least the goods are actually distributed to the people.

Not only did they distribute food and supplies, they also distributed guns and bullets. This attitude shows that they really have no intention of breaking their promise.
The residents of Huangshi City instantly became very enthusiastic. Even when Chen Jian asked for help in conducting reconnaissance, many people volunteered to sign up.

Because Chen Jian promised that as long as anyone agreed to go, they would have priority in distributing the spoils of the next battle after they returned.

Although no one can be sure that Yellowstone City will win, they all hope to win.

The reconnaissance team was soon full. Chen Jian looked at the people who were getting ready with satisfaction, thinking to himself:

That's it.

The time is not yet ripe, and the close relationship between the military and the people will not work.

But if the subsidies are not even paid in full, how can they have the strength to pull the trigger?
Hold up all your guns high!

The city defense members of the reconnaissance team set off quickly, and Lei Jie also selected people to return to the 7025 fortification to transport equipment. Chen Jian stayed behind, but he was not idle.

Dig trenches, build bunkers, and also find a way to clean up the monster corpses.
-
If such a large corpse is not handled properly and allowed to rot and stink, the polluted water source will become the biggest crisis for Yellowstone City.

"What should we do? Blow it up?"

Shen Yue, who was following Chen Jian, asked:
"I see there is a batch of explosives stored in the basement of the Mechanicus Church. Although the quantity is small, it should be enough to dismember the monster."

"Then take it."

Chen Jian spoke decisively and immediately ordered Huangshi to organize a group of residents to drag the monster to the shore with a rope.

When this giant creature emerged from the water and was completely exposed to everyone, people finally realized how powerful the weapons in the hands of these people who called themselves "ancestors" were.

Unlike the round ammunition of the Adeptus Mechanicus, the shells they fired were pointed, like enlarged versions of bullets.

After these bullets penetrated into the monster's body, they exploded into shocking huge holes.

No matter what kind of shell or metal armor, it's useless.

The Mechanicus spent more than two years, consumed thousands of lives and countless resources, and the "weapon" they finally produced was so vulnerable in front of them.

Huang Yu watched Shen Yue and He Shuo filling the monster's limbs and torso with explosives, and said with emotion:

"My lord, I'm afraid there are no monsters in this world that can stop your fire."

"Even if it's the monster in the Han River ruins, it will probably end up like Mongolia."

"That one is dead."

Chen Jian answered lightly.

"already dead?!"

Huang Yu was horrified and asked in disbelief:

"You killed that monster first, and then came to Yellowstone?"

"Yes."

Chen Jian nodded and continued:

"Why else would the Adeptus Mechanicus be hostile to us? It must be related to these two monsters."

"They seem to think that those who can kill monsters are 'Mimic Heretics'. It's ridiculous. We don't even know what Mimic Heretics are."

"Mimic heresy?"

Huang Yu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said:
"You are not, not at all."

"You know?" Chen Jian turned his head suddenly.

Wow, before they said that this information was something that only “ring merchants” could know, but people in Yellowstone City actually know it?

What is a surprise?

This is!
Huang Yu saw that his expression was a little strange, so he did not dare to neglect him and quickly replied:

"I know."

"The turmoil caused by the Mimic Heresy happened more than a hundred years ago. At that time, Yellowstone City already had a large population."

"They were here, they just didn't stay."

"But they brought a lot to the city of Yellowstone. I remember that the boats we build now and the sails on them were all taught by them."

"The people who actually saw them have long since died. I only heard my grandfather talk about them - and he also heard his grandfather talk about them."

Chen Jian nodded thoughtfully.

That is to say, the settlement of Huangshi City was relatively closed and stable, so events that happened more than a hundred years ago could be passed down for so long.

However, does this also mean that the mark left by those "mimetic heretics" on this settlement is extremely profound?

He asked again:

"So what do those Mimic Heretics do? Are they good guys or bad guys?"

".I can't tell."

Huang Yu shook his head and replied:

"I haven't seen them, but my grandfather said they look like evil spirits."

"They are very similar to our ancestors in many ways. They are very smart and powerful, but they are not as kind as our ancestors."

"When they arrived at Yellowstone City, they had already killed many people and were covered in blood."

"But they didn't kill us here, and they left some food and seeds."

"No one knows what they are doing. They are definitely not good people. They are not like you."

"But they don't seem to be bad people?"

After Huang Yu finished speaking, Chen Jian remained silent.

There was no useful information in this passage, and there was no way for him to find any useful clues.

Too much time has passed, and perhaps many details have been lost in the inheritance from generation to generation.

In Huang Yu's eyes, the so-called "mimicry heresy" might be just like the Aunt Bear in the "Aunt Bear" story he had heard before, just a symbol with some horror and gloom.

Chen Jian sighed and was about to speak, but Huang Yu added:
"But I know why the Mechanicus calls them 'Mimetic Heretics'."

"why?"

Chen Jian's eyes lit up.

“Because they all look alike.”

"It's like they're some kind of monster that only changes into one form."

"This is what my grandfather said, I don't know if it's true"

Does everyone look alike?

Chen Jian didn't understand what this sentence meant, but he could feel that the fog surrounding the truth was becoming thicker and thicker.

Perhaps to uncover this secret, we can only organize outward exploration after Yellowstone City is completely stabilized.

At this moment, Shen Yue and He Shuo had already deployed the explosives.

At Chen Jian's command, the explosives exploded, and the huge body of "Mongolia" was instantly torn into pieces.

Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the arrogant monster turned into a pile of minced meat.

He was just about to call on everyone to come forward to deal with the body, but Shen Yue in front of him suddenly raised his hand.

"Wait a minute!"

"There's something in this thing's stomach!"
