"Bow and arrow...is this a bow and arrow?"

Veratura is a very smart guy. Especially at his age, he has seen and experienced many things, and his vision is naturally unique than other villagers.

Su Hao kept observing the changes on Veratura's face. In just a few seconds, Veratura's expression appeared in shock, sudden, surprise, trance and fear.

Su Hao's eyes gradually became cold.

There is no doubt that Veratura had seen bows and arrows, or something similar to it.

Compared with weapons such as swords, guns, axes, bows and arrows are undoubtedly more beneficial to the defender.

"You've seen it."

Su Hao looked at Veratura with a calm gaze: "Do you know what this is and how to use it, right?"

Veratura kept sweating coldly, and his body trembled even more and more. It clenched its fists tightly, its eyes full of fear and despair, and gritted its teeth, as if it turned a deaf ear to Su Hao's questions.

"Do you know? I have doubted you from the beginning."

Su Hao didn't care about Veratura's expression and continued to say in a calm and unchanging voice: "You know we will come out of the passage. You know we are stronger than the people here, and you also know that we can repel the attacks of mutants. But why, when you don't let the villagers go into the pyramid to take refuge when you are attacked? You know very well that those mutants are not our opponents. As long as you hide in the pyramid, no one will die, including Yasen."

Veratura's expression was extremely painful. He held his head with both hands, and his skinny fingers scratched back and forth on the surface of his white scalp. His sharp nails cut through the skin, showing dense blood marks.

"The entire Molizhaka village does not have a long-range weapon. I have observed that your tribe members do not even know how to use guns, and they can only fight with mutants with their strength. They do not cooperate with each other, let alone any combat skills. As a priest who is over 200 years old, all this seems too weird.

"You should have experienced many battles, and you can sum up some empirical things from it. Bows and arrows are just one of them. Stones can be set up on the wooden fence for throwing, braziers can be set up in key areas, and traps can be tapped in areas that are easily broken through... Don't tell me these things you have never thought about and never seen. This is a war, a life-and-death war. I don't know why you did this, but it doesn't make sense anyway."

There has always been something wrong with Moli Zhaka Village. Su Hao has felt this way from the beginning

Yes, this is a world that is completely different from the earth. But Su Hao always involuntarily connects this place with the past. Faced with death, resistance and struggle are the instincts of all races. However, in the villagers of Molizhaka Village, Su Hao cannot see the corresponding fanaticism and despair.

Think about the survivors who were chased by zombies in the early stages of the virus outbreak on Earth, think about the humans who hid in the sewers to feed on feces for survival. Think about the refugees outside the base city who would rather use everything in exchange for the right to live... In contrast, Molizaka Village seems too calm. According to Veratura, mutants attack the villages, kill or abduct people every once in a while. Such a living environment is obviously worse than the refugees on Earth. However, on Veratura and the faces of the villagers, Su Hao could not see the fear he deserved.

They farm step by step, and the pace of life was not interrupted. Yes, they did take out the last three virgins in the village and dedicate them to Su Hao, begging for protection. However, Su Hao did not think that this was all the wealth of Molizhaka Village. He instinctively believed that Veratura was lying.

"The most important material for making bows and arrows is animal tendons. I know you haven't hunted for a long time, but you must have killed many mutants. Their ligaments can also serve as materials. In addition, you haven't told me that you have gotten this kind of thing from mutants."

As he said that, Su Hao took out a yellow crystal from his pocket and handed it directly to Veratura.

The transparent crystals looked very beautiful under the firelight, emitting a dazzling psychedelic color. The muscles on Veratura's face were twitching, and it felt like it was peeled off all over its body, and its skin and muscles were separated from the surface of the bones layer by layer, and no secret could be hidden in front of Su Hao.

"You, what you said is not exactly right."

After hesitating for a moment, Veratura sighed and replied: "Yes, I have indeed seen bows and arrows, and the defensive methods you just mentioned. They are really useful, and can shoot monsters directly to death from a distance, making defense easier. Yes, you just mentioned using the toughness of mutants. Someone in this village has been like this a long time ago. They made several large bows with wood and steel, and put them on the walls. The shafts are thick and long, and the iron arrows are extremely sharp. One arrow can shoot the monsters through on the spot with one arrow."

“Why not continue using them?”

Su Hao said calmly: "Don't lie to me. I won't give you a second chance. It doesn't matter whether you have you in this village. I can change a priest. Even if your daughter is a virgin, she will still be thrown outside to feed those mutants."

"I never lie to you. Every word I say is true."

Veratura sighed. It looked at the villagers gathered around, and then at the "worker bees" bees around Su Hao, with their eyes full of misery and helplessness.

"In fact, not only I have seen bows and arrows, but also other people in the village."

Veratura's words surprised Su Hao: "When you bent the iron bars and tied the ropes to both ends, I already remembered a lot of things. It was a battle more than 30 years ago, and hundreds of people died in the village. As you said, we used traps, and weapons such as bows and arrows. However, after the battle, we forgot all these things. For decades, I have not known how to shoot arrows, nor have I dug out the traps. There is no memory of these things in my mind, and the same is true for others. Really, we only remember that battle, remember how many monsters were killed and how many people died, but we just don't remember bows and arrows and traps."

For some reason, Su Hao felt a coldness in his heart for no reason. He stared at Veratura with a sharp and cold gaze for a long time, and then slowly swept across the faces of other villagers standing next to him.

No abnormality was found. Everyone's eyes showed confusion and a sudden expression of enlightenment. Some people kept nodding and silently chanting something, while others were muttering thoughtfully. Obviously, the simple bow and arrow in Su Hao's hand and the conversation with Veratura triggered some long-buried memories deep in their minds.

How many thousands?

This number surprised Su Hao because he only saw 1,833 crystals on the square platform. Among them, eleven were white.

This number is absolutely true. Although the special gravity environment here limits the divergence of thinking consciousness, the search ability at close range still exists. Just take a look and Su Hao can know the specific number.

Veratura's statement is seriously inconsistent with the number of crystals placed in front of him. Moreover, it has also said that it was led into this room by the former priest. It can be seen that this is the "safe" for the storage of crystals in Molizaka Village. The root of the source can even be traced back to the previous priest of Veratura.

Veratura understood the suspicion in Su Hao's eyes. It answered calmly: "I don't know why this is. They disappear every once in a while. At most, I once saw that there were about four times the crystals stored here. Except for me, no one could enter this room, and it was even more impossible to open the cabinet. However, you also saw that they were all here and no one had moved."

Su Hao continued to ask: "Why didn't you tell me this from the beginning?"

Veratura admitted: "I forgot."

"Forgot? This may not make sense."

"It's true. I can't remember anything about these crystals. Until you take out the crystals and see them, all kinds of information about them will appear in my mind, including this room and how to open this cabinet."

After pausing, Veratura added: "This situation has happened before. I always feel like I have a vague impression of something, but I can't remember it. I have indeed seen bows and arrows and vaguely know how to use this weapon. Until you make it, I remember everything about it, and even understand how it should be made."

Su Hao's eyes were still calm and there was no emotional change.

He felt that Veratura was not lying, and what he said was true.

However, these words are so incredible.

I know, but I forgot.

I saw you take out the same thing, so I remembered it again.

This kind of thing happens frequently among humans on Earth, and most of them occur in elderly people with memory loss. Especially those with Alzheimer's disease, they often cannot find a way back when they go out of the house and do not recognize their relatives. They only remember some vague hobbies and need to be reminded by others, but they soon forget them after they remember them.

Su Hao didn't know if Villatura suffered from Alzheimer's disease? Although this guy has lived for more than two hundred years, he is very healthy, with a sharp ear and a clear eye, and can even take up weapons to fight.

The phenomenon of "forgottenness" does not only happen to it. The other villagers in Molizaka obviously also had a deep impression of bows and arrows. When they were in the warehouse and the blacksmith shop, Su Hao paid attention to the people present at that time and found that only villagers over forty years old were performing abnormally. They were thinking and muttering to themselves, and some even found materials at that time and tried to make bows and arrows.

This is definitely not something to forget. It is someone who erases their memories.

But it is strange that the memory of the villagers of Moli Zhaka is obviously not completely erased. As long as they see the same or similar things, they can immediately recall the hidden memories. Just as Veratura himself said: When seeing the yellow crystal, he knows that he should walk into this room and put the crystal into this cabinet. Once he leaves the pyramid, he completely forgets what he has done.

Suddenly, a "worker bee" standing next to her made a surprised voice: "Your Excellency, there is actually energy fluctuation here."

Su Hao turned around and his eyes fell on the pile of crystals that were shining with bright light.

There is indeed energy fluctuation. Just now when I used my thinking antenna to check the quantity, Su Hao found that the crystal was releasing a faint energy and was performing some potential movement in the room.

Just like air and wind. The former is a gas that stops moving, while the latter must be driven by energy to produce it.

Su Hao raised his head and slowly swept across the dark roof.

This pyramid was not built by the villagers of Molizaka. It appeared earlier than the birth age of Veratura. On the surface, it was completely made of stones. But further research is needed on the inside.

If the mechanical equipment he was carrying was intact, Su Hao would soon understand the structure and material conditions here. However, he was unable to perform any research operations now.

Looking at the pile of crystal stones on the square platform, Su Hao waved to the guard "worker bee" next to him with a blank expression: "Take it down, I want to stay here alone for a while."

The footsteps quickly disappeared, and only Su Hao's lonely figure was left in the room.

He took out the triangle crystal slab from his close-fitting pocket and rubbed it in his palm.

This thing is still so smooth, just like the softest skin on a woman's body.

Su Hao placed the yellow crystal obtained from the pig-shaped mutant human body with the triangle plate, and watched calmly as the crystal was absorbed, and the plates released a strange glimmer. The second grid of the five neatly arranged concave points lit up yellow light, and strange words appeared on the surface of the crystal plate again.

"Second-level gene agent formula: 100 units of yellow crystal, 20 ml of carbon-based life circulating liquid (blood), and 10 ml of advanced mutant individual spinal cord (frost hormone)."

"Beta-grade gene agent formula: 100 units of yellow crystal, 50 ml of carbon-based life circulating liquid, 1 ml of original cell liquid, 1 ml of advanced mutant individual spinal cord, and 5 grams of bio-element cold condensed aggregate.
