Chapter 191 [Quite embarrassed] (1)
A gunshot suddenly came from behind, and the sudden gunshot scared the two of them. They turned around at the same time, but saw Zhao Wugeng shooting a crow that flapped his wings and swung him. The shot was extremely accurate. The crow was not dead on the ground, flapping its wings, and the crow's wings were covered with blood.
Zhao Wu even spat and said, "This crow is so ugly."
Yan Tianxin reminded him: "You stay away from it."
Zhao Wugeng said: "It's just an old pike, what's there to be afraid of?" But he never thought that the crow was struggling to stand up from the ground. Zhao Wu was even more stunned. He had never seen a crow with such strong vitality.
Wow! A white light flashed by, but Luo Lie shot out a flying knife in time to cut off the crow's head.
The crow's head rolled to the ground, but the headless body was still standing stubbornly and continued to move forward two steps. Yan Tianxin raised his gun and shot it in the crow's body, blasting the crow into pieces, and black feathers floated around the air.
The gunshots from Heishui Temple echoed in the empty mountains and fields for a long time. Tan Tiande was alarmed by the gunshots. He hurriedly picked up his telescope and looked in the direction where the gunshots came. He did not see any special situation. But why did they shoot? A thick dark cloud above his head slowly moved over, blocking the sunlight, and the surrounding scenery became dim.
Luo Lie and the other two appeared in their sight, and they hurriedly ran out.
Luo Lie was uneasy because of the appearance of the crow. The crow just now had obvious infection symptoms. If this zombie virus can even be infected with birds, its expansion speed will be faster than he imagined. Thinking of the flock of birds that rushed towards him when he first entered Hei Shui Temple, Luo Lie was in a heavier mood. If all the crows were infected with the zombie virus, then they would make the spread of the virus uncontrollable.
Although Zhao Wugeng was the last one when he came here just now, he ran to the front when he escaped. He also thought of a place with Luo Lie, and was even worried that the crow that had just appeared was more than one, and perhaps its companions would soon follow. He grabbed the rope first, moved forward with his arms alternately, and soon arrived at the middle of the rope.
Luo Lie and Yan Tianxin looked at each other and smiled at each other.
Although Tan Tiande didn't know what happened in Hei Shui Temple, he could guess from Zhao Wugeng's performance and cursed in his heart that my face was lost by your grandson.
Zhao Wu escaped in a hurry and was getting closer and closer to the opposite side, but suddenly he heard a harsh chirping from below. Zhao Wu plucked up his courage to look down, but saw the flock of birds below rising like black smoke and surrounding him.
Luo Lie also saw the situation under the cliff and shouted: "Go away!" He took out a grenade and threw it at the flock of birds below. Regardless of whether the flock was infected, he had to stop their ascension and create conditions for Zhao Wugeng to escape.
The grenade exploded in the center of the bird flock, with extremely lethality. Hundreds of mountain birds were crushed to pieces by the explosion's shock wave. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Wu even fled to the other side. However, Luo Lie's actions were still unable to kill all the birds.
More and more birds ascended from under the cliff, and Zhao Wugeng was surrounded by a flock of birds two meters away from the other side. The birds rushed towards Zhao Wugeng, pecking at his body, and Zhao Wugeng let out a scream.
Yan Tianxin fired a few shots to help Zhao Wu more rescue, but her help didn't work much. Luo Lie yelled: "Mr. Tan quickly escape and go to the place where the sun shines!"
Tan Tiande was also shooting birds for help, but when he heard Luo Lie's shouts, he came to his senses. Zhao Wu attracted the attention of the mountain birds. It seemed that Zhao Wu would definitely die. If he died, the mountain birds would choose another target. Tan Tiande dared not think too much. He turned around and ran backwards, untied the reins of his mount, turned over and ran towards the bottom of the mountain, and could not see any old look.
While Tan Tiande escaped, Zhao Wu couldn't support him anymore. His hands were covered in blood and flesh under the pecking of birds. He could no longer hold the rope. He loosened his hands and fell downwards. Tan Tiande let out a heart-wrenching scream.
After Luo Lie and Yan Tianxin saw that Zhao Wu was unable to save him, they turned around and ran to Heishui Temple. There was no way forward. Now they could only return to Heishui Temple. Find a hidden place as soon as possible and hide in order to escape the attacks of the mountain birds.
As soon as the two of them escaped into Heishui Temple, the crazy birds split into two, one of them chasing Tan Tiande who was escaping from horseback, and the other one followed Luo Lie and Yan Tianxin into Heishui Temple.
Luo Lie and Yan Tianxin ran back to Zhongyi Palace in one breath. Luo Lie had observed this place in advance, and only Zhongyi Palace was a relatively closed space that could prevent birds from entering. After he and Yan Tianxin entered Zhongyi Palace, they closed the door. The light in the hall was dim and Yan Tianxin turned on the flashlight.
There was a constant ding-dong sound outside, but the crazy birds followed the tracks and hit the doors and windows of the hall from all directions, looking for a breakthrough.
Yan Tianxin whispered: "What to do?"
Luo Lie pulled off the curtain of the hall, stuffed the curtain into the coffin, then took out the kettle from his carry-on bag, unscrewed the lid, and emitted a pungent smell of gasoline. It turned out that he had gasoline in the kettle. Luo Lie poured the gasoline into the coffin and ignited the curtain. The fire burned. With the help of gasoline, the fire soon ignited the coffin.
According to the knowledge Luo Lie has learned, he will be afraid of the fire after being infected with the zombie virus, and the same is true for those birds.
A blood-covered tit crawled into the narrow space of the pane and landed crookedly on the ground. Seeing the fire in the hall, he was afraid to get close.
Yan Tianxin raised his gun and aimed at the tit and shot one of the guns.
The sound of impact from doors and windows gradually began to weaken, and the sunlight was projected in from the gaps between doors and windows, and the dark clouds dissipated. The crazy mountain birds could not bear the scorching sunlight.
The coffin was still burning, and the room was smoky and fired. Luo Lie opened the door and saw that there was indeed a bird outside.
Yan Tianxin covered her mouth and nose, coughed and came outside. Seeing the feathers flying everywhere in the sky, she still felt scared when she remembered the scene just now. She said to Luo Lie: "How should we go next?"
Luo Lie turned around and looked at Tuolong Mountain behind him, and whispered: "Take the sunshine, climb over Tuolong Mountain before dark, and go to the scheduled place to meet Tan Zicong."
After hearing the reports from his subordinates, Ma Yongping's face was obviously a little gloomy. Tan Zicong did not do his best to do his job for himself. After obtaining a large amount of advanced equipment and weapons, he actually ran to the Gobi Desert to hold his troops. While Ma Yongping was thinking about how to deal with Tan Zicong, Ma Yongqing came over with the company of a servant.
Ma Yongping hurriedly stood up and said, "Yongqing, why don't you rest in the room?"
Ma Yongqing smiled indifferently and said, "I always stay in the room, I'm going to be suffocated to death. Brother, I have something to discuss with you."
Ma Yongping nodded and waved his hand to signal the servant to leave.
After only the two of them were left in the living room, Ma Yongqing said bluntly: "I want to meet Yan Tuojiang."
Ma Yongping's two sword eyebrows frowned immediately, not understanding why she still remembered that old thing.
Ma Yongqing said: "Don't get me wrong. I have no feelings for him at all. I just want to ask him something."
Ma Yongping said angrily: "Do you think he will tell you the location of the vault honestly?" He failed to achieve his goal after several efforts, so naturally he didn't believe that Ma Yongqing could easily handle all this.
Ma Yongqing said, "How can you know if you don't try?" She approached Ma Yongping a little and whispered: "Our money can only last for one month. If you can't ask the old thief as soon as possible, you should know what will happen."
Ma Yongping felt a sense of re-understanding Ma Yongqing. He blamed this change on Ma Yongqing's previous robbery. He felt guilty about this matter. No one would believe that a blind man could successfully rob people from the heavily guarded Magistrate's Mansion in broad daylight, and all this is true.
Ma Yongqing is a smart and sensitive woman. She always has a sense of indebtedness towards her. If it weren't for her original sacrifice, she wouldn't have had her success today. Ma Yongping decided to use time to prove himself and decided to give Ma Yongqing more space. After considering it, he finally nodded and said, "Okay, there should be a break between you and him."
No one is afraid of death. Although Ma Yongqing once had the courage to sacrifice for love at all costs, her courage had long been exhausted from patience and humiliation. Marrying Yan Tuojiang was caused by a conspiracy. Because she loved Ma Yongping deeply, she decided to sacrifice herself for love to achieve his career.
Ma Yongqing never regretted it for a long time, but she gradually discovered that nothing in this world is eternal. Just like Ma Yongping's feelings for herself, as time went by, she began to doubt. If Ma Yongping really liked her, how could she bear to give her hands to Yan Tuojiang? Yan Tuojiang's love for her gave her better conditions and time to reflect on everything in the past. She began to realize that Ma Yongping's feelings for herself were not pure, at least not as pure as herself.
When she was about to see the light, she fell seriously ill again. It was because of this disease that she saw Yan Tuojiang's unyieldingness to him and his meticulous care for him. She even believed that if she could exchange her health, Yan Tuojiang would rather exchange everything he had or even his life. Ma Yongqing felt hesitation in his heart for the first time.
