Chapter 427: Feeling like facing a formidable enemy
Half an hour later.
On a dark, damp street filled with light gray mist.
The hurried running footsteps splashed dirty water.
Shen Qiu ran quickly, and out of the corner of his eye he glanced at the corpses lying on the ground, with blood staining the ground red.
Among these corpses are Red Alliance KPI personnel and soldiers, as well as members of the Gray Scorpion Legion.
Shen Qiu's heart sank further and further to the bottom, and the situation seemed to be very bad.
From the number and direction of the fallen bodies, it can be basically judged that the members of the Red Alliance were killed under pressure.
The sound of firefights in the distance became more and more fierce, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace and rush over as quickly as possible.
Red Alliance temporary stronghold.
A square steam factory with a height of ten meters and made entirely of steel. On the thick metal walls of the factory, there are paint patterns praising God.
On the top of the factory, there are round chimneys standing upright.
At this time, a member of the Gray Scorpion Legion raised his firearm and kept shooting at the factory gate.
Bang bang!
Sparks flew.
The fierce firepower suppressed the people in the factory and did not dare to stand up.
At this time, an awakened member of the Gray Scorpion Legion surrounded them, preparing to storm the factory.
Inside the factory, people wearing KPI uniforms and military uniforms spoke anxiously to an old, wrinkled man wearing a lieutenant colonel's military uniform.
"Sir Guo Zong, what should we do now? We can't hold on any longer."
"Hold on, the signal flares have been sent out and support will arrive soon."
Guo Zong said in a deep voice.
"No, the other party's awakened person has suddenly come over."
A subordinate shouted anxiously.
At this time, you can see three members of the special hardened gray scorpion, approaching a certain distance, and rushing towards them crazily.
The bullets hitting them had no effect, just causing a burst of sparks.
The other masters of the Gray Scorpion Legion followed closely behind the three of them.
Upon seeing this, Guo Zong drew out a saber and shouted murderously.
"In that case, let's fight with them. Everyone is ready to follow me!"
"yes!"
Everyone present risked their lives.
When the Gray Scorpion Legion master burst into the factory, Guo Zong was the first to hold the blazing saber and kill the opponent.
The opponent also raised his weapon to fight.
Ding~
As sparks flew everywhere, the first member of the Gray Scorpion to fight knelt down, struggling to hold on.
Guo Zong suddenly drew back his saber and was about to kill the opponent with one strike.
Two more members of the Gray Scorpion Legion swung their swords at them at the same time. One sword was wrapped with wind breath, and the other sword was flashing with lightning.
Guo Zong could only block with his sword back!
Dang, Dang~
For a time, Guo Zong was directly entangled.
"Ah~"
Suddenly, a scream rang out. Lieutenant Colonel Guo Zong turned his head and looked over. He saw a bodyguard being beheaded and fell to the ground. He suddenly opened his eyes and roared.
"Aqi!"
At this time, people from the Gray Scorpion Legion had already rushed into the factory. They had a large number of people, at least more than 70 people.
On the other hand, there are only about thirty people on Guo Zong's side, and a large part of them are cheated, so they are no match for them.
Just when they could no longer hold on any longer, a giant python condensed from water rushed in from the door.
"Ah~"
The five Gray Scorpion members were knocked out and fell heavily to the ground.
The members of the Gray Scorpion who were besieging were all dumbfounded. They were all in the human realm, and they had never seen such a strong momentum and offensive.
Guo Zong and others turned to look over, and at the critical moment Shiyao rushed back with his people.
At this time, Shiyao's cold eyes showed a trace of anger, and she waved her hand, causing waves of water to rise and sweep towards many Gray Scorpion members.
The faces of these Gray Scorpion members were filled with terror. Some pressed their hands on the ground to raise earth walls, while others released walls of fire.
But it was useless, and he was instantly washed away by the waves.
And the most surprising thing is that these water waves are like eyes. When they are about to sweep up oneself, they will branch and turn around.
Sun Ji and others took the opportunity to rush forward and surrounded and killed the masters who had carried them down.
In just the blink of an eye, the situation was reversed.
Within a few minutes, more than 70 Gray Scorpion members present were eliminated.
"Lieutenant Colonel Guo Zong, are you okay?"
Shiyao walked up and asked coldly.
"It's okay. Fortunately, you guys came back in time, otherwise things would have been much worse."
Guo Zong couldn't help but cough.
"Is it?"
Suddenly a cruel and arrogant voice came from the gate.
Guo Zong and others were startled and turned to look over, only to see groups of Gray Scorpion members rushing in.
The leader was a man wearing black skull armor, with a full face and a scar on his left eye, ferocious eyes, and holding a sword embedded in a triangular module. Next to him stood a short man with a sinister face.
These two people are Baicatu and Woji, the top leaders of the Gray Scorpion Legion.
Shiyao's heart suddenly sank. The other party led more than 300 people. The most important thing was that Bai Katu gave her a very dangerous feeling. She had obviously reached the master level.
"Are you rats going to surrender obediently, or do you want me to use violence?"
Baikatu twisted his neck and showed a ferocious smile. This time he finally finished off these Red Alliance guys.
"Capture the thief first, capture the king first, and you guys will hold on for a while first!"
Shiyao told Guo Zong, drew out a blue long sword, and rushed straight towards Baikatu.
Then she waved her left hand, condensing an anaconda, and opened its bloody mouth to kill Baicatu.
You must know that compared to the ordinary water awakeners who tend to be auxiliary, Shiyao's awakened water ability is very violent and lethal, like the rough sea.
"court death!"
Woji sneered and stood in front of Baicatu and raised his left hand.
The violent wind formed a wind snake that directly collided with the anaconda and exploded!
Woji couldn't help but take a few steps back, then stopped, quickly drew out a triangular thorn and rushed forward, colliding with Shiyao.
Ding!
With a crisp collision sound, Shiyao's offensive was blocked.
She frowned suddenly. If it were a normal situation, she would definitely be confident of killing the enemy in front of her, but her physical energy was very exhausted now.
You know, in recent times, I have been almost entirely supported by her.
And she didn't dare to use too much power to deal with Woji because there was a stronger Baicatu.
Seeing Shi Yao being blocked, Baikatu immediately waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to come forward.
"Deal with them!"
Baikatu has no intention of doing it himself. If he can be killed by people, let the people below him do it.
As for casualties, he didn't care at all. The most important thing they needed was human life.
Upon hearing Baicatu's order, groups of Gray Scorpion soldiers rushed towards Lieutenant Colonel Guo Zong and others.
Guo Zong and others rose up to resist.
The two groups of people collided together again.
As a result, there were no surprises. Guo Zong and others were soon at a disadvantage and were in a precarious situation.
Especially Guo Zong alone was besieged by five Gray Scorpion elites.
呲拉~
Inadvertently, Lieutenant Colonel Guo Zong's right arm was cut with a wound. He raised his left hand and struggled to condense the violent flames, sweeping across the Gray Scorpion masters who were repelling the siege, and kept panting.
At this moment, a member of the Gray Scorpion showed a ferocious smile, instantly transformed into a rat-man form, and attacked Guo Zong from behind.
Shiyao noticed this scene and immediately issued a warning.
"Guo Zong, be careful!"
After Guo Zong heard Shi Yao's reminder, he suddenly turned around and waved the burning saber in his hand, directly cutting off the rat man's head with one blow.
Blood splatters.
However, at this moment, a powerful Gray Scorpion member took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack and kicked Guo Zong in the back, sending him flying away.
Guo Zong fell heavily to the ground.
At this time, several Gray Scorpion members flashed cruel looks on their faces and rushed towards Guo Zong who fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Shi Yao forced Wo Ji back with a sword, rushed towards Guo Zong, raised her hand and waved!
Suddenly water arrows shot over.
The several Gray Scorpion members immediately retreated to dodge.
At this time, the other members saw Guo Zong falling to the ground, and they also gave up fighting and rushed over.
"Sir, are you okay?"
"fine."
Guo Zong gritted his teeth and stood up.
However, at this time, many Gray Scorpion members came over and surrounded Shi Yao and others.
Baikatu said with a cruel smile.
"Haha, this is the end of the force. Let's see what kind of waves you can make this time."
Shi Yao and others looked at the many Gray Scorpion members who were pressing forward step by step, with tense expressions on their faces, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Many people had expressions of despair on their faces, but they did not give up.
"Shiyao, are you leaving? We'll cover your breakout, but we definitely won't be able to leave."
Guo Zong lowered his voice and said to Shi Yao.
"Needless to say, after I joined the KPI department, there was no option for me to escape."
Shiyao replied calmly that she has her own principles and dignity.
"If you want to leave, just dream, none of you can escape."
Baikatu laughed enthusiastically and said that he actually dared to talk about the breakout in front of him, as if he didn't exist.
At this moment, a stone was suddenly thrown from the factory beam above his head, hitting the head of Baikatu who was laughing wildly.
Boom~
Baikatu's expression changed and he raised his head to look above his head.
Shen Qiu was seen sitting on the steel beam, swinging his legs and looking at Baikatu with a smile.
"Baikatu, long time no see."
Guo Zong and others were immediately overjoyed and looked at Shen Qiu excitedly. Unexpectedly, a mysterious master came at the critical moment.
Baikatu stared at Shen Qiu and recognized him at a glance. Although Shen Qiu was wearing half a mask, the impression was too deep.
His face suddenly revealed a scowl, like an enraged lion roaring angrily.
"It's you! How dare you appear in front of me, you poor little rat."
It was this guy who ruined his good deeds with another girl in the cathedral, and he almost died in the cathedral.
When Guo Zong and others heard Baikatu's words, their expressions also showed a hint of disappointment. They thought that a top expert would come, but it looked like he could only be considered average.
"Why don't you dare?"
Shen Qiu replied with interest.
"If you dare, come down here and see if I don't kill you."
Baikatu yelled at Shen Qiu angrily.
Shen Qiu didn't even hold it, and jumped down as Baikatu wished, landing lightly.
He looked at Baikatu and said.
"Okay, I'll come down, how are we going to fight?"
"You're just a loser. I'll crush you to death in a matter of minutes. How dare you show your presence in front of me?"
Baicatu looked at Shen Qiu who was calm and composed, and his whole body was like a volcano erupting.
However, just when Baikatu was about to lead people to pin Shen Qiu to death and kill Shi Yao and others.
Suddenly a subordinate hurried in and said to Baicatu.
"Boss, the dogs from the Blue League are outflanking us. It should be caused by the signal flares of these guys."
When Baikatu heard this, his left hand clenched into a fist and made a loud noise.
"Those crazy dogs from the Blue League!"
"Boss, the Blue Alliance has a large number of people. If we are surrounded by them, we will be in trouble."
Woji quickly persuaded him, saying that he was afraid that the boss would get angry and knock down here, and then he would be outflanked by the Blue Alliance, which would cause trouble.
"You're lucky, those crazy dogs from the Blue Alliance are here. I'll deal with you later, and we'll retreat!"
Baikatu was very unwilling, but he still said harsh words to Shen Qiu and others and led them to withdraw.
Many Gray Scorpion members followed Baicatu and left.
Shiyao and others looked at Baicatu's retreating figure and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you guys okay?"
Shen Qiu turned to Shi Yao and others and asked.
"It's okay, thank you for coming to contain me for a while."
Guo Zong shook his head.
"It's just a coincidence, it doesn't help much."
Shen Qiu replied with a smile.
Shi Yao raised her head and glanced at Shen Qiu, who was wearing a mask. She didn't know why she always felt that the person in front of her looked familiar, but she just couldn't remember it.
She asked Shen Qiu in confusion.
"Who are you?"
Shen Qiu looked at Shi Yao standing in front of him and was also very surprised. He really didn't expect to meet her here.
But Shen Qiu didn't say anything to Shi Yao, but said.
"Let's not talk about it for now. The people from the Blue Alliance are coming soon. We must leave here quickly. If we are late, we won't be able to leave."
"good."
Guo Zong and others responded one after another.
So everyone evacuated from the back door of the factory.
They ran on the gray streets, and Shen Qiu asked Guo Zong curiously.
"Are these the few of us left?"
"When the time came, we were the only ones left, and the rest dispersed."
Guo Zong had a good impression of Shen Qiu, after all, he dared to come over to support him alone.
"All right."
When Shen Qiu heard this, he frowned slightly. The situation was worse than imagined.
However, just as Shen Qiu and the others ran through the corner of the street, they ran into a group of heavily armed Blue Alliance soldiers.
The leader was none other than Colonel Aroko, and there were more than a hundred subordinates following him, more than four times as many as Shen Qiu and the others. All of them were in very good condition and exuded a good aura.
The moment Guo Zong saw Aroko, his face became very ugly and he gritted his teeth and said.
"It's over, I didn't expect to bump into Aroko!"
"Sir Guo Zong, do you know him?"
Shiyao asked solemnly.
"Of course I know him. He is a man known as the Wild Butcher. Countless masters from all forces have died at his hands! The most frightening thing is that he once slaughtered a Gray Alliance force of three hundred An elite group of people. Damn it, I didn’t expect to bump into him here.”
Guo Zong's palms holding the saber were sweating.
When Shiyao heard what Guo Zong said, she felt like she was facing a formidable enemy.
Shen Qiu couldn't help but hold his breath and stared straight at Aroko. He didn't expect to bump into such a strong master of the Blue League. He seemed to be desperate.
At this time, Aroko was also startled. He did not expect that he would win the lottery and run into someone from the Red Alliance.
A bright smile suddenly appeared on his face. However, when his eyes saw the green sword hanging on Shen Qiu's waist, the smile disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
That Blue Sky Blade was General Hedri's sword, and no one in the entire Blue Alliance army knew it.
This guy is the top player who almost killed Hedry.
Thinking of this, Aroko's breathing became unsmooth, and the muscles on his face kept twitching.
You know, he thinks he has extraordinary strength, but when faced with General Hedley, he is just a loser.
At the same time, Orser and others also recognized the sword on Shen Qiu's waist. They all raised their weapons in fear and pointed at Shen Qiu and the others as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Everyone on Shen Qiu's side was also holding their weapons tightly, with uneasy expressions on their faces.
For a moment, both sides looked at each other as if they were facing a formidable enemy, but no one dared to take action.
However, Aroko's adjutant Orser was too nervous at this time and pulled the trigger of the module pistol for a moment.
Bang~
A bullet was fired and hit the ground in front of Shen Qiu!
Make a hole.
Shen Qiu's nerves were suddenly touched, and she was about to rush forward.
Aroko turned around and gave Orser a melon seed on the head.
"Who asked you to shoot?"
Orser replied nervously.
"I'm sorry! Sir, I was too nervous and got carried away."
Shi Yao and others were also stunned. What are these people from the Blue League doing?
After Aroko taught Oser a lesson, he turned his head and looked at Shen Qiu fiercely and said.
"You wait, don't leave if you have the guts, we will retreat!"
After finishing speaking, Colonel Aroko did not wait for Shiyao and others to come to their senses, and turned around and walked away with them.
Guo Zong and others all looked at Shen Qiu and asked with disbelief on their faces.
"Do you know him? Why is he so afraid of you?"
"I don't know him. I've never met him, okay?"
Shen Qiu looked puzzled.
"We're not talking about these things now. They seem to be calling for help. Let's leave quickly!"
Although Shi Yao was also very puzzled, her reason told her that now was not the time to ask these questions.
"Yes, leave quickly."
Shen Qiu agreed.
So Shen Qiu and the others immediately changed direction and ran towards a side alley.
A few hours later.
In the living room of a three-story retro stone building, Shen Qiu and others were sitting on chairs that were moldy and dusty.
Sun Ji came over to report.
"The coffins in this building have been cleaned, and all the corpses lying inside have been taken care of."
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
Guo Zong nodded and responded.
At this time, Shiyao also walked in from the door, and she spoke coldly to report.
"We have scouted the area and there are no traces of Blue Alliance or Gray Alliance personnel. We should be safe for the time being."
Everyone who survived the scene breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and their tense expressions relaxed, they were finally safe.
Guo Zong immediately made arrangements.
"Everyone, take care of your wounds, eat something to replenish your strength, and seize the opportunity to restore your strength. The next situation may be even worse."
After hearing Guo Zong's words, everyone took out food from their backpacks and shared it with each other.
Seeing that nothing happened, Shen Qiu walked to Guo Zong and asked him.
"Sir, I have just entered this world not long ago. What is the situation now? Can you tell me?"
"No need to call me that, just call me Guo Zong."
Guo Zong replied very kindly.
"Okay, Guo Zong."
Shen Qiu nodded and said.
"Let me tell you briefly, the country we are in is called the Qianyin Kingdom, which is a kingdom of zombies. The city we are currently in is the royal capital of the Qianyin Kingdom. The entire royal city is divided into three levels, and the top level is Castle, all three alliances are now on the first level."
Guo Zong introduced it to Shen Qiu.
"Why don't you go up?"
Shen Qiu asked curiously.
"We want to do that too! But the gate to the city is closed."
Shiyao replied coldly.
"Then you can climb the wall or find a way to fly over. There's no need to go through the door."
Shen Qiu asked in confusion, if it was so difficult to go up to the Giant Castle when the door was closed, why would it be the same as climbing up? Is it possible that the wall of Qianyin King City is more difficult than that one?
"You can think of it, of course we can think of it, and the people of the Blue League and Gray League can naturally think of it. But it is completely impractical, because there are many mechanisms on the wall, and there are coffins hanging on the wall. Anyone who wants to go up there , no one survived.”
Guo Zong shook his head and explained.
"Um? So exaggerated?"
Shen Qiu replied in surprise.
"It's not an exaggeration at all. You'll know it when you look back and see the walls between the layers with your own eyes."
Shi Yao stared at Shen Qiu and said, now she is more and more curious about who the man in front of her is.
Although Baicatu had called him a dirty rat before, Colonel Aroko's reaction was too abnormal.
You must know that Aroko is a relatively well-known warrior in the Blue League camp. There are few people he fears. Not to mention that he had so many people with him at the time, so he obviously had the advantage.
"Okay, but I have a question, but I don't know if I can ask it."
Shen Qiu hesitated and asked.
"go ahead."
Guo Zong replied calmly.
"In your current state, self-protection is a problem against the people of the Blue Alliance and the Gray Alliance. Shouldn't you give priority to evacuating this world? Why do you have to stay here with them?"
Shen Qiu asked curiously.
After hearing Shen Qiu's words, Guo Zong and Shi Yao fell into a brief silence.
After about ten seconds, Guo Zong spoke to Shen Qiu.
"It's impossible to give up. There are things in the castle in Qianyin King's capital that we must recycle. I'm sorry that I can't tell you what they are. In addition, too many of our people have sacrificed here. Even if it's for them, we can't. Can’t leave.”
When Shen Qiu heard this, he felt his heart heavy, so he replied.
"I understand, but it's not an option to keep wasting it like this."
"So we have to find a way to find the key to the city gate, open the city gate and go up."
Shiyao replied calmly.
"Is it just a city gate?"
Shen Qiu pondered and asked.
"No, there are four city gates between the first and second floors. In addition, the keys we are looking for are not these four city gates. After all, if such a large city gate is opened, what will happen if it is not kept intact."
"Then which city key are we looking for?"
"There are four major city gates. Each city gate has two small side gates on both sides for ordinary people to walk through. What we are looking for are the keys to those eight side gates."
Shiyao explained.
"That sounds like it's okay."
Shen Qiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. There are eight entrances, which is better than only one entrance, so you don't have to fight to the death.
"It's not that easy. We can't figure out which corpse the key is at all. You must know that the first floor is where the corpses on the bottom live. The population is very dense, at least there are millions of people. Standing and giving We searched, but we didn’t know we could find it in the Year of the Monkey, the Horse and the Moon.”
Guo Zong said in a deep voice.
"There must be traces to follow. Let's just rest here while I search for the key."
Shen Qiu thought for a moment and said.
"I'll go with you."
When Shiyao saw that Shen Qiu was going to search for the key, she immediately suggested that they go together. She had always led the team to search before.
"No."
Shen Qiu flatly refused and waved to Shi Yao.
Shiyao looked at this scene and suddenly remembered, her eyes moved slightly and she said.
"You are Shen Qiu."
Shen Qiu was a little surprised when he heard Shi Yao's words. He didn't expect that she would remember it. However, he didn't deny it or say anything, he just smiled and left.
Shi Yao frowned slightly as she looked at Shen Qiu's leaving figure.
ps: I'm sorry. Recently, the condition of Yang Hou has been getting worse and worse, and her cough has become more and more severe. For the time being, I can only update 6,000 a day. When the condition recovers, I will update another 10,000. Please forgive me.
