Jiang Yue has visited Wumei Community countless times since he was a child, so he is naturally familiar with the terrain here.
Last time I heard from others that the Beauty Snake Gallery is on Xining Road, so I went directly there and it didn’t take much effort.
The two turned around two streets and soon arrived at the intersection of Xining Road.
Along the way, there were no ghosts on the street, and there was no sign of any living people in the buildings on both sides of the street.
The entire Wu Mei community is like a realm of death, with no trace of life at all.
This really frightened Jiang Yue.
Then Zhu Yindong was so crazy that he killed all the people in Wumei Community, right?
This neighborhood was also a relatively lively area in the Sunshine Era. Even if the Strange Era comes and many people leave and many people die, there won't be a single living person left, right?
If there isn't a single living person, what's the point of Zhu Yindong claiming the throne here?
One person's independent kingdom, let alone being king and hegemon, what's the point of being immortal?
"Classmate Xiao Jiang, this is Xining Road." Lin Yifei reminded.
"I know."
"There are many galleries here. Is this a gallery street?"
"It used to be."
Jiang Yue responded to Lin Yifei one after another, but all his skills were fully activated, observing all the disturbances in the area.
The two of them had just walked a few steps into the intersection when a sound suddenly came from the window next to them, as if someone was gently closing it behind them.
"There's someone inside!" Lin Yifei asked in surprise.
"Don't worry about it." Jiang Yue seemed to turn a deaf ear and seemed not to be interested in the noise coming from the window at all.
Lin Yifei was a little confused and moved her mouth, wanting to ask something, but she finally held back and followed Jiang Yue in a dull tone.
"Classmate Lin, have you sent your mutant beasts to investigate here?" Jiang Yue suddenly asked.
Lin Yifei was hesitant. This was something that was agreed upon in advance. But when Jiang Yue asked, Lin Yifei obviously couldn't answer.
"It's okay not to have a faction." Jiang Yue judged something from Lin Yifei's reaction, but he didn't blame him.
"Classmate Xiaojiang, it's not that I don't try my best. When my mutant beasts came to this area, they seemed to sense some kind of crisis and were a little scared. I was worried that the previous tragedy would happen again, so I asked them to ambush outside, waiting to respond to us. It's true.
No matter how dangerous it is, there won’t be any backup options when the time comes.”
Jiang Yue smiled understandingly: "You are still thoughtful."
Lin Yifei looked at Jiang Yue with her beautiful eyes: "Are you telling the truth?"
"100% sincere. This place is indeed a bit weird. So, let's not be misled by other situations and go directly to the Beauty Snake Gallery."
"What happens after you find it?"
"Let's see what the mystery is in the Beauty Snake Gallery, and what tricks Zhu Yindong is playing. This Wumei Community..."
Before Jiang Yue finished speaking, the two of them stopped at the same time.
Because not far from them, a figure suddenly ran out from the corner of the street. He was in ragged clothes, covered in blood, and looked emaciated and highly malnourished.
This is a woman who looks like she has been out of shape due to poor nutrition for a long time.
"Help, help." The woman asked for help in a hoarse voice as she ran, while raising her hands desperately, as if she was afraid that the two of them wouldn't be able to see her.
However, what was embarrassing for this woman was that she begged for help with a miserable face, but the two people opposite seemed not to notice, and reacted indifferently, without any intention of helping.
Jiang Yue frowned and looked at it, while Lin Yifei looked indifferent and unmoved at all.
The woman almost rushed towards them, but Lin Yifei was a little bit empty, and a ball of wind blocked the opponent's rushing momentum.
"Don't get excited, stay away and talk."
The woman made a thud, knelt down on the ground, and kept kowtowing: "You two, please help me, I really can't stay in this hell for a minute."
Jiang Yue sighed and said, "You could have left a long time ago."
When the woman heard this, she looked up in surprise. When she saw Jiang Yue's face, she felt a bit familiar, and then she remembered something.
"You...you are the handsome guy who saved me at Qiusheng Gallery that night?"
Jiang Yue smiled faintly: "You haven't cleared up your relationship with Ye Qiusheng and Huang Junxiao yet?"
This woman is exactly the woman Jiang Yue saved before, her name is A Ping.
Jiang Yue also gave her some food that night.
It's just that Jiang Yue didn't expect that she was still alive after not seeing her for such a long time.
A Ping begged painfully: "There is no Ye Qiusheng, and there is no Huang Junxiao. They are all dead! Wumei community has long become a hell on earth... except for young and pretty women, there will be no other living people here. All of them
Living people will become fertilizer..."
"You are a handsome guy and a beautiful girl. There is no way to go to heaven. Why do you have to come to this hell gate?" A Ping murmured.
Lin Yifei said arrogantly: "What? You can't come to this place anymore? Who made the rule?"
"Of course it's Zhu Yindong! The only people who can survive here are young and beautiful women. And if one day you become a loser or he gets tired of playing, you won't have a good life either."
"As for men, especially good-looking men, they will die even worse here. What Zhu Yindong hates the most is good-looking men!"
A Ping said, looking at Jiang Yue specifically: "I advise you to leave quickly. Zhu Yindong went out for something today, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to walk here. When you came in, didn't you see all kinds of weird plants along the way?
?Those are Zhu Yindong’s weapons. Every plant and tree here is his accomplice.”
Ah Ping spoke so sincerely that Lin Yifei was doubtful and couldn't help but glance at Jiang Yue to see what he meant.
Jiang Yue seemed to be listening to something that had nothing to do with him, and his mind didn't even seem to be on A Ping.
His eyes wandered, as if he was in a fugue state.
Lin Yifei stretched out her slender finger and poked Jiang Yue's waist: "Hey, after saying so much, you have to give me a word, right?"
Jiang Yue seemed to suddenly wake up and said perfunctorily: "Ah? What did you say? What did she just say?"
Lin Yifei said angrily: "What on earth are you thinking about?"
"A Ping, right? I remember you said that you have business dealings with Zhu Yindong, and they seem to have a good relationship in private. He should treat you well, right?"
A Ping said bitterly: "Look at me like this, do you think I'm being treated badly?"
"Tsk, tsk, that's really heartless. You lift your pants and don't recognize anyone."
A Ping's expression was dull, as if these words still couldn't stir up any waves in her.
"He is so ungrateful, don't you want to take revenge on him?"
"Revenge?" A Ping laughed miserably, "Do you think I have the ability to retaliate against him? Thank God that I can survive. You really don't know how scary Zhu Yindong is, and you don't know how scary this place is. Listen to me
Just a word of advice, leave as soon as possible and get out of here before he comes back. Once he comes back, you will end up very miserable."
"Oh, you disappoint me so much. He has made you so miserable, and you don't even have any backbone. He is not here, and you don't dare to take revenge? Why should we save you if you are so heartless?"
Jiang Yue shook his head, with a look of hatred on his face.
A Ping stammered: "Retaliation? How do you plan to retaliate? I am not an awakened person, and I have no ability. How can I revenge him? I am powerless."
"If you really have the guts, we can give you this opportunity."
"what chance?"
"Tell us all the information related to Zhu Yindong."
"I knew he was very powerful and could control plants, and he seemed to have done some horrific experiments, fusing human souls with those awakened plants to create a kind of tree-man that only listened to his commands. Both
The characteristics of plants also have some characteristics of humans. It’s very strange.”
Tree man?
Jiang Yue and Lin Yifei looked at each other. In the pagoda area, Zhu Yindong did summon many tree people and many bone monsters.
Could it be...
The Bone Monster is taken from a human body, while the Tree Man is extracted from the soul of a human?
This...how is this done?
Lin Yifei's mutated beasts only use living things as carriers to mutate the living creatures through secret methods, but they are not transplanting human souls into plants...
"anything else?"
"Also, Zhu Yindong has concocted a batch of very powerful ghosts. They can appear and appear during the day through some secret techniques and magical carriers. These ghosts are all on this street. If you go deeper, maybe these ghosts will
I will take action against you."
"So, I advise you to leave immediately. Don't risk your own life."
"That's all?" Jiang Yue looked at A Ping with disappointment and shook his head, obviously not particularly satisfied with these answers.
"These things alone are not enough for us to take you away."
After hearing this, A Ping's expression became hesitant, as if she had remembered some important information, but she couldn't decide whether to say it or not.
Lin Yifei said displeased: "You are so virtuous, are you still reluctant to part with that bird man?"
A Ping hurriedly shook her head and said: "I hate him with all my heart. It's not that I can't bear to part with him, I'm just afraid..."
"What's there to be afraid of?"
"I'm afraid you can't deal with him."
"Even if we can't deal with him, what does it have to do with whether you have information or not?"
"I not only have intelligence, I also have some of his core secrets."
oh?
Lin Yifei's eyes suddenly lit up: "What is it?"
Jiang Yue seemed to be a little more interested and looked at A Ping curiously.
"Zhu Yindong's mysterious power seems to be from taking some kind of fruit. This kind of fruit seems to need to be taken for a long time. Every time he takes it, his power will increase greatly."
"fruit?"
"Yes, he has a lot of these fruits. Last time I took advantage of him and hid two of them secretly. He never noticed it."
"I originally wanted to find an opportunity to escape, go to the government to expose him, and hand over these fruits to the government." A Ping hesitated, and finally made it clear.
"So, the fruit is on you?"
"How could it be on me? I hid them in a very hidden place. But now I don't dare to go back to get them. As long as I go there, I will definitely alert those powerful ghosts. These ghosts are intelligent, they are Zhu Yin
The dog that guards the house in the East.”
Lin Yifei exchanged glances with Jiang Yue, obviously a little unsure.
"So what do you mean?" Jiang Yue looked at A Ping calmly, with no trace of happiness or anger on his face.
"I...I want you to promise to take me away, and I will take a risk with you."
"My feet are under your feet. If you want to leave now, who can stop you?" Lin Yifei couldn't help but said.
"You put it lightly, as long as I walk out of Xining Road, those ghosts will be able to detect me. Even if I get out by luck, the vegetation and plants along the way are Zhu Yindong's accomplices, and they can kill me at any time."
"Then why do you think we can take you out?"
"You can come in safely, and those plants haven't touched you, which means you have the ability to scare them, and you are confident that you can take me away safely."
"Classmate Xiaojiang, what do you say?"
Jiang Yue said calmly: "Lead the way, as long as you don't play any tricks, we promise to take you away."
"Okay!" A Ping seemed to have made up her mind, nodded heavily, and then said with a wry smile, "Can you give me something to eat first? I haven't eaten for several days."
This was not an excessive request and was quickly fulfilled.
After eating, A Ping regained some of her energy: "Follow me, I know how to walk safely."
Lin Yifei was actually still a little suspicious, but seeing that Jiang Yue didn't say anything, she couldn't say much.
During this trip, she felt that she had made a mistake by not sending mutant beasts in. So she felt somewhat guilty, so she psychologically accepted the situation with Jiang Yue taking the lead.
The two of them followed A Ping through several private houses. After a while, A Ping led them to a three-story building.
"It's right here. I hid it in the incense burner under the incense table in the main room. It's covered with incense ashes. You can find it when you pour out the incense ashes. I wrapped it in a tissue."
"Go and open the door." Lin Yifei had no intention of doing it herself, but asked A Ping to open the door.
A Ping stammered: "I...I...there are dead people in that house, I dare not enter."
"Then forget it, just fend for yourself." Lin Yifei said indifferently.
A Ping looked shocked: "No, I'll go, I'll open the door. You follow me. If there is any danger, you have to protect me."
As she said that, A Ping looked around, looking sneaky, pushed the door open, and waved to the two of them, gesturing for them to follow and stop lingering outside.
Jiang Yue and Lin Yifei followed them expressionlessly.
This is an old-fashioned house. This kind of main room still retains the old furnishings of the urban-rural fringe. An old incense table is very conspicuous.
There is a black and white photo frame placed above the incense table. Usually there is a black and white photo of the deceased, and most of them are of the elderly.
Generally, black and white photos kept at home in rural areas are mostly to commemorate the deceased elderly.
But there is nothing in this photo frame, which is a bit strange.
A Ping came to the incense table tremblingly, holding the incense burner on the incense table with trembling hands.
