Wuqiao extends in all directions. Although a wall was built, after all, time was short, the wall was not solid. Compared with the shelter in the East China Sea, which was completely made of steel walls, it was much weaker. It could barely deal with ordinary beasts, but it could barely deal with real spirits.
The beasts were just like paper. Those who survived in the end must have been lucky. Those spiritual beasts didn't take them seriously. Otherwise, I'm afraid none of them would survive.
However, the geographical location of Xiyeku Shelter is different. The terrain is relatively steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is surrounded by water. As long as a few bridges are defended, the shelter will not be in great danger. So far, there has been no
The spiritual beasts in the water came to the land.
Therefore, Chang Xing and his party still have great hopes for Xiyeku Shelter.
"There are about 50,000 to 60,000 people in Xiyeku Shelter. Xiyeku Town is not very big. All the surrounding rural areas are concentrated in Xiyeku. The total population is 50,000 to 60,000 people. Because it is relatively remote and the geographical location is more favorable,
, the most likely to survive." Zhou Shaonan said.
"It depends on whether the terrain here has been affected after the fusion. It also depends on whether there are any spiritual beasts around." Chang Xing said.
"Yes." Zhou Shaonan nodded.
Wuqiao was not too far from Xiyeku, but as Changxing walked, he realized something was wrong. The terrain between Xiyeku and Wuqiao had changed, and a large river that was not on the map suddenly crossed Changxing.
In front of the group, the river was four to five hundred meters wide and the waves were turbulent.
"Is Xiyeku ahead?" Chang Xing asked.
"I don't know. But the map shows that the river near Xiyeku is only forty or fifty meters wide at most. This is already ten times larger." Zhou Shaonan said.
"It is also possible that changes occurred upstream, causing the river to widen. This is also possible," Chang Xing said.
"The river is so wide, how can we cross it?" Zhou Shaonan was worried. He could fly with a sword, but other people in the Clan Affairs Bureau couldn't fly. He took them one by one, and he didn't know how many times he would have to go back and forth.
"Ju Zhou, why don't we swim over there," Jin Bangmin said.
"You are just looking for death. Do you think there are spiritual beasts only on land? There are still some in the water, maybe even more." Chang Xing said.
"What should we do?" Jin Bangmin was dumbfounded.
"Take them one by one. Fellow Daoist Chang, please wait for us over there, and I will take them over one by one." Zhou Shaonan said.
"When you take them over one by one, the day lilies are already cold. Chang Qing made a few gadgets, but I didn't expect them to be useful." Chang Xing took out the aircraft made by Chang Qing.
"Chang Qing made a spiritual aircraft?" Zhou Shaonan said in surprise.
"The speed is very slow, it's useless. It can't fly too far." Chang Xing said with disgust.
Zhou Shaonan took it as a treasure: "You can't say that. This thing can be improved, right?"
"Of course, the improved guy won't give it to me. He just threw it to me because it was useless." Chang Xing naturally despises these aircraft. How can he fly with his own sword as happily?
Chang Qing has practiced with a lot of aircraft, with different performances. But they are more than enough to fly across this river. This solves the problem of tools for crossing the river at once.
"When crossing the river, you should fly high. Don't underestimate the river. There is no precedent for the spiritual beast in the river to attack people, but if you fly over its head, it may not be polite to you." Chang
Xing warned.
"Everyone, listen up. Listen to Fellow Daoist Chang's arrangements. When you cross the river later, you can fly as high as you can. Don't get close to the water. This river comes too unexpectedly. Don't give it to the spiritual beasts in the river to improve it.
Food." Zhou Shaonan said.
One by one, they took off in the aircraft and took off at Chang Xing's prompts. They flew high and then began to cross the river. Among them, a monk suddenly fell from a high altitude because he was not skilled in the operation and passed by the water. A huge black shadow immediately
Rushing out of the water! It was a huge black fish! The black fish opened its mouth wide and pounced on the fallen monk.
Just when the monk was about to fall into the mouth of the black fish, a figure passed by like a bolt of lightning, grabbed the monk, and flew to the shore. The huge black fish flipped in the air and landed again.
He entered the river. He jumped out of the water angrily again and roared at the other side.
The monk was in shock and thought he was already dead.
After looking back, he realized that the person who saved him was Chang Xing. He quickly thanked him and said: "Friend Chang, thank you for your life-saving grace. If it weren't for you, I would have died."
"Don't say such useless things. Be careful in the future. Didn't I tell you that there are spiritual beasts in the river? How did you control it?" Chang Xing asked.
"I don't know what happened. The aircraft suddenly malfunctioned," the man said.
Chang Xing took the aircraft over and took a look, only to find that the driving spirit array of the aircraft was damaged. It seemed to be a quality problem with the aircraft: "How did this brat make a defective product?"
After hearing this, the monk was sweating on his forehead. Such a fatal thing could have quality problems.
"I'm sorry. There are some flaws in the test product made by Chang Qing, and I didn't pay attention to it. As a result, you encountered it. I'm really sorry, I was shocked." Chang Xing said apologetically.
"Fellow Daoist Chang, you have helped us a lot and saved me. It's too late for us to thank you." The monk did not dare to blame Chang Xing and his son.
After Zhou Shaonan came over and learned about the situation, he smiled and said: "It's okay, just go back and let Changqing compensate us with some high-end aircraft."
"Ask that guy about this, I can't guarantee it." Chang Xing said with a smile.
"Then I'm sure I'll have to get some aircraft from Chang Qing even if I'm shameless. This is very important for our Rural Affairs Bureau to search and rescue the survivors," Zhou Shaonan said.
"Don't be too happy too early. Although we haven't found flying spirit beasts so far, it doesn't mean that flying spirit beasts don't exist. Maybe one day flying spirit beasts will come," Chang Xing said.
"Fellow Daoist Chang, do you think there are really flying spiritual beasts?" Zhou Shaonan asked.
"Any wild beast can mutate into a spiritual beast, why can't a bird become a spiritual beast?" Chang Xing said.
"That's true. There are many flying spirit beasts in legends." Zhou Shaonan nodded. However, he was worried that if flying spirit beasts really appeared, the life of the shelter would be difficult in the future.
The group of people continued to walk forward, but they never reached the right road and did not see any road at all.
"There is so much spiritual energy here, maybe this is part of the integration of the small world." Zhou Shaonan said.
"If fusion occurs here, then the fate of Xiyeku will be a bit worrying." Zhang Yifeng said worriedly.
"Yes. As long as one or two spiritual beasts run over in the small world, Xiyeku may be destroyed." Jin Bangmin frowned.
"The purpose of our business is to gather survivors. What are survivors? Those who are lucky to survive. We can only hope that they are lucky, otherwise we will have to rush to the next target." Chang Xing said.
"Fellow Daoist Chang, since the spiritual beasts in the water do not come out to attack humans, do people living on the island have a greater chance of surviving?" Zhou Shaonan said suddenly.
"Not necessarily. Although we have not encountered a case of spiritual beasts in the water coming ashore to attack, it does not mean that the spiritual beasts in the water have no attack power on land. You have to know that there are animals in the water that can come ashore. For example
Turtles and the like. Once they mutate into spirit beasts, they are also very scary. Not to mention that after the small world merges, some of the spirit beasts that come from the small world are a hundred times more terrifying than what we know. Maybe an island has a tail.
If you throw it over, you can wipe out the island." Chang Xing said.
"Look! There is smoke over there!" Jin Bangmin said in surprise.
Chang Xing and Zhou Shaonan both looked in the direction you and Jin Bangmin were pointing, and sure enough, a puff of smoke appeared in the forest ahead.
"Let's go! Let's go there!" Zhou Shaonan said excitedly.
Everyone was excited when they saw hope. There must be something to gain from this trip.
The group speeded up, Chang Xing flew over with his sword, and Zhou Shaonan gritted his teeth and followed behind Chang Xing with his sword.
Chang Xing flew to the place where the cooking smoke came from, and found that there was a mountain city there. The surrounding walls were still intact, and it seemed that it had not been affected by the impact. The mountain city was surrounded by water, and the bridge connecting it to the outside world was not known to have been blown up or because of
The small world was merged and disrupted. It turned the small mountain city into an isolated island, surrounded by a river more than ten meters wide.
"It's Xiyeku! It's definitely Xiyeku! It's exactly the same as on the map. They were lucky and were not hit." Zhou Shaonan said excitedly.
"Zhou Ju, have you ever thought about it, after so long, even if they have not been affected, their food is enough to survive until now?" Chang Xing asked worriedly. They were surrounded by rivers, although they were isolated from them.
The danger was eliminated, but their way of survival was cut off. Once the food was exhausted, these people could only wait for death in this isolated city. Although the river was only more than ten meters wide, as long as you knew a little bit of water, you could easily swim to the other side. However,
Who said there are no spiritual beasts in a river more than ten meters wide? Even if you swim to the other side, what will happen? How can ordinary people survive in such a situation?
"They are still lighting a fire, which means they should still have something to eat." Zhou Shaonan said.
"By the way, where did they get the firewood?" Chang Xing was even more puzzled. When these people hid in the shelter, they would definitely stock up on food, but how did they stock up on so much firewood? Although there is still a forest on the island,
After all, the island is not that big. Tens of thousands of people gather here and they have to make fires to cook every day. No matter how much wood there is, they cannot withstand being burned every day.
"Maybe it's because the trees here grow so fast." Zhou Shaonan's explanation was actually very far-fetched. But Chang Xing didn't bother to get to the bottom of it.
Chang Xing and Zhou Shaonan flew over the isolated island and were surprised to find that the island was full of people. Everything was well planned.
As soon as Chang Xing and Zhou Shaonan landed, not long after, young men with swords and guns ran over.
"Who are you? What are you doing here in Xiyeku?" one of them asked.
"Is your place Xiyeku Sanctuary? We are from the East China Sea, and we specialize in searching for survivors in various shelters." Zhou Shaonan said.
"Are you from the East China Sea?"
The two young men looked at each other. The two young men had crew-cut hair and were trimmed cleanly. They looked like they had regular haircuts and beard trimmings. However, their clothes were a bit old, but they were quite neat.
"Yes, I am from the Donghai Clan Affairs Bureau. How many people are there in your Xiyeku shelter?" Zhou Shaonan asked.
"I can't tell you. Come with me to see our mayor." One of the men said.
The mayor of Xiyeku is a capable person. Otherwise, he would not have been able to manage Xiyeku so well in such an era.
Not long after, Chang Xing and Zhou Shaonan met the mayor of Xiyeku. The mayor's name was Wang Zhengliang.
"I was a soldier before. After I changed my career, I served as the mayor of Xiyeku Town. After establishing Xiyeku Shelter, I implemented military management of Xiyeku. We tried our best to use the land on the isolated island to grow crops.
We in Xiyeku are all farmers, and agriculture is our profession. We have a lot of food reserves, but if we sit on nothing and have no harvest, it will definitely not last long. Therefore, we have reclaimed and harvested all the land that can be cultivated.
Crops and straw can be used as firewood. There is also a very strange phenomenon. The yield of the crops we grow here is several times higher than before. Although there is not much land on the island, the harvest is enough for all of us in Xiyeku to barely eat.
So far, the total amount of our food reserves has hardly changed."
Wang Zhengliang's words explain why Xiyeku has been able to maintain peace and stability until now.
"There may be a tide of spirit beasts in the future. Although your place is surrounded by water, when the rivers around you freeze in winter, spirit beasts can easily cross over. And your monks are not high level and not in large numbers. You stay here.
It will be very dangerous." Zhou Shaonan said.
Wang Zhengliang was unwilling to leave: "In this world, where can we go safely? Moreover, it is a long way from here to the East China Sea. There are so many of us, old and young. If we encounter a spiritual beast on the road, wouldn't it be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?"
"
"With our religious affairs bureau escorting you all the way, you won't have any problems. You will be in more danger if you stay here. We in Donghai have now cleared all the spiritual beasts, and the safety factor is much higher than here. You follow us now,
is the best choice." Zhou Shaonan said.
Wang Zhengliang shook his head: "I won't go with you. If someone wants to go with you, I won't stop them."
Wang Zhengliang immediately sent someone to notify all the people in Xiyeku to hold a mass meeting. At the meeting, they voted collectively whether to go to the East China Sea. As a result, the people in Xiyeku heard that Wang Zhengliang was unwilling to leave Xiyeku, and no one was willing to leave.
"We Xiyeku people will walk together and die together here!"
