Chapter 820
The people in the conference room listened to Li Yi explain the knowledge of cultivation and evolution; although they understood, they remained very silent, because they realized the true reason Li Yi gave for why they could not cultivate.
In this world, cosmic energy is thin, the environment is terrible, the human body has degenerated, and cultivation is an impossible thing.
They could only watch helplessly as this path, which was enough to change the future, was simply impassable for them.
Zhao Hongjie took a deep breath, calmed his mood, and then cheered up again; although the initial idea had not been achieved, as a leader, a small setback was nothing at all.
"Tai Yi, since the path of cultivation is impassable, can we rely on the power of technology to deal with the dead?"
Li Yi said: "I'm not sure. When great power returns to oneself, technology becomes an embellishment. However, the technological content level of your world is very low. Although improving the technological level may not necessarily help you deal with the dead, at the very least, it can improve the living environment and increase productivity."
Thinking of this, he took out several smartphones from his storage ring.
"These are mobile phones from our world, but they are out of power now. Once you charge them and restart them, these few phones will be enough to raise your technological level by a large margin."
You must know that these are phones used by evolvers, and their phones are equipped with smart brain systems. Although I don't know which generation of artificial intelligence it is, in this world, it is a dimensional reduction strike.
"Thank you for your help." Zhao Hongjie took the phones and looked at them.
The technological level was indeed very high; the entire phone didn't even have a single button, and those who didn't know would think it was just a piece of transparent glass.
But he didn't study them too much, just handed them to the secretary beside him.
These things naturally had to be handed over to professionals; leaving them with him was just a waste. Although this exchange did not achieve the expected effect, being able to help the country's technology take a step forward could be considered a trip not in vain.
"However, I am a bit interested in how your world deals with the dead. When are you going to take action there? I would like to go and watch." Li Yi said at this time.
Zhao Hongjie glanced at the secretary beside him.
That secretary immediately said: "We plan to take action at ten o'clock tomorrow night, because the dead only appear at night."
Li Yi nodded and said: "I will appear on time."
He wouldn't be at ease unless he saw that building destroyed; after all, if the dead of this world ran to Tianchang City, it would still cause some trouble. Now that Tianchang City is to be rebuilt and order is to be restored, some hidden dangers should be eliminated if they can be.
"Besides destroying that building, I wonder if you have any other needs?" Zhao Hongjie said again.
Li Yi waved his hand and said: "I am different from you. The needs of those in cultivation are very low. I came here just to solve this matter, nothing more. Moreover, I will leave after finishing this matter and will not interfere with your lives."
Hearing this, Zhao Hongjie smiled: "As expected of someone in cultivation, you are just different from us ordinary people. To be honest, I am very fortunate to have met such a person of high character today."
"You're welcome, you are also a very straightforward leader." Li Yi said.
At this moment, a middle-aged man with half his face charred walked over with big strides and whispered a few words to Zhao Hongjie's side.
After listening, Zhao Hongjie said with some surprise: "Tai Yi, have you also been entangled by the dead? I can help you solve it immediately. In terms of getting rid of the entanglement of the dead, we still have some experience here."
"No need." Li Yi shook his head: "I want to see how this dead person kills."
"This is a very dangerous thing." Zhao Hongjie said.
Li Yi laughed: "It doesn't matter. If I die, you don't need to collect my corpse. I won't leave a corpse behind, I will only turn into energy and dissipate in this world."
Are they not even afraid of death? Are people in cultivation all so carefree?
The people present couldn't help but think so.
They could clearly feel that the person named Tai Yi in front of them had a very different way of thinking from theirs.
As the conversation continued.
Li Yi could clearly feel that the Zhao Hongjie in front of him very much hoped to get more benefits from him, whether it was cultivation, technology, or knowledge about other worlds.
But he also understood; after all, even a tiny bit of what was obtained from him was enough to change a country and change a world.
Li Yi was not a stingy person either; anyway, this avatar of his couldn't go back, so he was willing to give them some help.
But he didn't know if it was an illusion.
As time passed, the invisible dead person lying on his back became heavier and heavier. Of course, this weight was only aimed at ordinary people; for this avatar of his, this weight was not worth mentioning for the time being.
"Don't tell me it's thinking of crushing me to death?" This thought popped up in Li Yi's mind.
And Zhang Yan on the side was also observing Li Yi's situation, while also checking the time.
According to normal circumstances.
A living person entangled by the dead cannot live for long. In the vast majority of cases, Li Yi would die before dawn.
But it was already dawn now.
And Li Yi was still alive and had not died because of this.
"A cultivator is indeed different; he survived the first night very easily." Zhang Yan thought to himself.
And it wasn't just him who thought so; the living dead observing the situation here outside the conference room were also a bit surprised. But when they thought about the fact that the other party possessed the great power to split the earth, like a god, they felt that the dead might not be able to cause any harm to the other party at all.
Zhao Hongjie actually always wanted to help Li Yi; establishing a friendly relationship through this method would definitely be a good thing for the future.
It's just a pity that Li Yi really had no needs, which made Zhao Hongjie both a bit distressed and a bit moved.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this state of mind that he could be considered a true cultivator.
Wealth, power, and status were just things imagined by ordinary people and could not play any role for a person like Tai Yi.
When the time reached after eight o'clock in the morning.
The meeting ended.
However, Zhao Hongjie just went to rest and did not leave the building, and indicated to Li Yi that he could contact him directly if there was anything.
"I need to understand the living dead." Li Yi also made a request.
Zhao Hongjie naturally agreed immediately.
Very quickly.
In the conference room, the ordinary people had left, and people who possessed the status of the living dead walked in one by one, and the number was not small, there were more than a dozen, and the temperament of each person was not simple.
It could be seen that they were all experts.
At least for the people of this world, it was so.
It's just that for Li Yi, there was no difference between the living dead and ordinary people; a bolt of lightning could kill them, he just wanted to understand more information about the dead.
"It's really easier to get things done using the power of the higher-ups; if I were to wander around slowly by myself, it would probably be difficult to come into contact with the living dead."
At this moment, his gaze swept across and finally stopped on a young woman in her early twenties.
This woman's eyes were gray-white, as if she had cataracts, but Li Yi could feel that the other party's eyes could see some different existences.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Hanchuan, I can see the dead person lying on your back." This woman took the initiative to speak.
"It seems my intuition is not bad." Li Yi nodded slightly: "Then tell me, what does the dead person lying on my back look like."
Hanchuan said: "I cannot say, because I saw it, and it also saw me. If I describe the appearance of the dead person, it will entangle me. This is a boundary between the living and the dead that cannot be easily broken."
"Can I understand that the reason why I was entangled by the dead is because I, as a living person, broke this boundary?" Li Yi's expression moved and he said.
A man with half his face charred beside him said seriously: "Yes, your wisdom is very high, and you understood the reason at once. But the boundary between the living and the dead is very blurred; no one knows what kind of behavior counts as crossing the line."
"However, regarding crossing-the-line behavior, we have also made some summaries and compiled them into a book, you can take a look."
Subsequently, he handed over a booklet.
Li Yi grabbed the booklet from the air, took it over, and then flipped through it, couldn't help but smile: "It's indeed a bit interesting. Living in your world is quite hard; you have to abide by all kinds of rules, not free at all."
The booklet wrote many things that the living cannot do, such as not going out on rainy days, not looking back when walking on night roads, not talking when eating alone; many regulations looked like child's play.
"For the sake of survival, this is a matter of no choice." This man with a charred face said.
