National Juggernaut

Chapter 255 Prologue
Xingtai Island, an easy-to-remember name, is a very beautiful island.

The total population is less than 3, but it has ample living area and natural area. Behind the town are not only mountains and lakes, but also an endless forest.

Most of the houses in the town are simple wooden structures, which are obviously the result of local materials.

The blue sky makes people feel happy, and the strange touch of stepping on the soft sand makes a group of inland people even more excited.

Being able to obtain the position of stationed in the war regiment and become the guardian and ruler of one side makes it even more unbelievable for young people. Even if it is just a short-term replacement.

But compared to the wandering and patrolling wargroups, the expatriate wargroups with their own resident areas are equal to having their own territory and resource points, and having an experimental field (but not the line) where they can plan their own wishes at will. A part of human society, but also has almost unlimited rights and freedoms.

This point can be seen from the Dragon Egg World back then. When a garrison officer stubbornly behaved, others could only suggest and persuade, but in the end there was no way out. This is because that small world was not far from Shiqian City. .

For some areas where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, as long as you complete the higher-level tasks, you generally don't care about other things, and the garrison legions and war groups have unlimited power.

Of course, for these "children", what is gratifying is the unique recognition.

It stands to reason that only a battle group that has been in practice for at least ten years is eligible to garrison a certain place alone, which is not only based on combat strength, but also all-round maturity and ability.

But after the initial excitement, Zheng Li and the others noticed that something didn't seem quite right.

"Hey, kid, don't you eat candy?"

The little boy with long horns turned around and ran away. Before Zheng Li could take back his outstretched hand, the scene was very embarrassing for a while.

On March 3th, it was sunny and white clouds, but the old sailors said that the fishy sea breeze conveyed the news that the storm was coming, and there might be continuous fish disasters and shipwrecks in the future.

This is already the second day that the Peace Corps has been stationed on Xingtai Island (internal number 3123 island), and the handover and switch of defenses with the two local garrison regiments has been completed, but after the initial excitement, what they got was beyond expectations reality.

"Failed again, how does it feel, we have become outsiders instead."

More than [-]% of the residents here are alien human communities, and more than three floors are foreign races, including but not limited to the local wise ghost race, accounting for [-]% of the majority, which is the race of the little boy who just ran away—— ghost man.

Half human, half ghost, or at least once human.

Some of them have half a broken horn, some have ghost claws on their right arms, and some are more than three meters tall but are children. There are many similar mutations, but it is rare to see uniform racial characteristics.

They are local aborigines, but they are not hybrids of ghosts and humans. Normal hybrids will basically only produce half-ghosts and ghosts. It is still a fairly stable inheritance, and it will not be like a genetic mutation like this.

"Are you a ghost? Are you not our warband? Oh, it is indeed a specialty of our side, a product of the old era, and some of it is active, similar to lycanthropy, that is also a mess. There is Some of them are passive, staying here for too long, eroded by the unique rules of this region, gradually becoming ghosts, and inheriting this characteristic. Spirit Blade), you have to treat them as foreigners."

stay here?The amount of information was really too much, but when the battle group leader heard the keyword "foreigner" at the end of his speech, Zheng Li thought he had heard it wrong.

Aliens?A foreigner like Ater?Preparedness and vigilance?Hostility and wariness?
At that time, the battle regiment leader was afraid that Zheng Li didn't understand, so he added a sentence.

"When you go out, don't trust your appearance. Not everyone who looks like a human is a compatriot. Those who have spiritual blades are human, and those who don't. No. At least, not yet."

The sentence "not yet" is very essence.

Soon, Zheng Li knew that not only he and his party had to be careful of these local ghosts, but those ghosts saw him as an "outsider" with a blade, and they didn't hesitate to avoid them.

It's just a child, let alone take the candy in his hand, he will run far away when he sees himself and his party.

"Hey! Do you still have windmills here? Horseshoes? I don't need them! Look at how fast I run, I don't need horseshoes at all."

Everyone is on guard, but certain two members of the Peace Corps are exceptions.

For example, Lin Qiaoyi, who is now playing with a group of ghost children, is dragging a kite and supporting the children to play horse racing. They are very similar in spirit and age, and they are having a good time.

Another special case is naturally Lin Yuying.

"Soma.?!"

"Soma" means "adult" in the language of the ghost tribe. The ghost man who was amazed quickly lowered his head and pushed away to make way for Lin Yuying. Before Lin Yuying walked over, he didn't even dare to stand on the side of the road. move
And this kind of thing doesn't only happen to ghosts, the few wise ghosts here are also respectful when they see Lin Yuying. It seems that her appearance is quite high-ranking ghosts.

And when she went shopping, the ghost store manager in the store was even more humble and flattering to the extreme, he didn't even dare to ask for money or give it away for free, and didn't dare to look up at her the whole time. Seeing this scene, Zheng Li vaguely guessed something .

"Ghost man, used to be a servant race of the ghost clan?"

"Yes, there are not many ghosts here, most of them were bought in recent years. There are more stocks on the other side. To the real ghosts, ghosts are slaves, commodities, and even spare food. Heh, They are the same for foreigners who are not demonized enough, slaves, livestock, and rations."

For this level of intelligence support, the operator Lu Sanqi made it very straightforward.

The Peace Corps can be called the elite of all members. There are basically no fools. They already know what it means.

When they happily accept the duties and honors of an adult, an independent battle group, the first thing they encounter is the cruelty and cold-bloodedness of the adult world.

"For an adult ghost, a piece of white silk will do. For a minor, a small bag of rice. If the craftsman is skilled, he should add some flavorful vegetables. The wise ghosts especially like these, such as kimchi and mustard. They don't lack meat. More Far away, a bag of pickled mustard can even buy several ghost beauties, and if you buy in large quantities, you can get a discount, so I have a channel if you want to buy it."

".No thanks."

Looking at Lu Sanqi with a calm face, Zheng Li really didn't know if he was serious or joking.

"Why don't you take it out. Oh, you've been eroded too deeply by the rules of this world, and you'll become weak after you go out? But becoming a sword master can make up for spiritual energy, so it should be cured."

"Not only that, they are quite unreliable, and we have suffered a lot. The prophet has made a judgment, and all ghosts must stay in the Old Days Islands, including the ghost sword master, our compatriots."

Zheng Li blinked, but didn't say much.

After all, this is the domain of Digital City and their internal affairs. As a transitional visitor, I don't have enough understanding of the situation, and it is impossible to make accurate judgments, let alone make any reliable suggestions.

And what he didn't know, when the dark history was gradually uncovered, this was just the beginning, the most insignificant part.

Right now, Zheng Li just vaguely sensed that this entrusted task, the first round of the team competition in name, seemed not that simple, and it was not at all as relaxed and happy as expected.

But fortunately, compared to other groups who were also completely unprepared, he seemed to have won at the starting line.
