Seeing that the crisis in Mirror City was lifted, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief; with Niu Jianguo and Zhuge Yushu here, I don't have to worry about the dead things here for the time being.
What makes me worried is that Mirror City is the northernmost city, but the protective equipment here is almost negligible. Once we leave and dead things attack again, Mirror City will definitely not be protected.
I asked Niu Jianguo to clean up the battlefield, and at the same time set up camp on the spot to burn the corpses of the dead things that had been dead for who knows how many years. At the same time, Niu Jianguo also sent people to explore the situation deep in the mountains and forests. I always felt that today's wave
Dead objects are more like an invisible exploration.
The real crisis has not yet appeared; and the way of heaven will change...
Today's scene makes Li En still unable to react.
As night fell, when the lights in Jingcheng dimmed, hundreds of large and small tents had been set up outside the city. Qin Shisan had previously sent news to Doucheng, so there was a steady stream of Doumen brothers coming along the way.
Coming from Mirror City.
Many people left the city, and those who stayed were mostly old, young, women and children. At night, they all climbed to the top of the city and watched everything outside the city gate.
After seeing our camp outside the city gate and everything seemed quiet, early the next morning, the old people with gray hair on their temples came out of the city in groups carrying water and food rations.
Just distribute...
For two days in a row, Li En was almost inseparable from me. I always felt a little uneasy. Several times I asked her to leave Jingcheng as soon as possible, but she always looked at me without saying a word, and then I turned around,
She followed behind me.
"I know what happened to you." Li En whispered behind him.
My mind was stunned and I stood still.
Li En followed: "I have heard what they said, you are the head of Doucheng..."
"anything else?"
"Also, they said that you have married another woman..."
When Li En said this, his voice became much softer.
My heart moved inexplicably, and I felt mixed emotions.
"You're already married to someone else, why do you still come to me?" Li En mustered up his courage and spoke again.
I was speechless. After two or three seconds of silence, I finally sighed and said with a wry smile: "There is always a voice in my heart telling me that I must find you."
"Then if you find me, what will you do with the woman you married?" Li En asked.
I shook my head, not knowing how to answer for a moment...
The two fell into a state of silence. I didn't turn around, and Li En didn't speak again.
I walked forward, and Li En did not hesitate and followed closely with small steps...
Outside Jingcheng, Niu Jianguo's loud voice resounded in many tents. At dawn, he was also rushing to command Doumen's brothers to arrange some simple defense arrangements. Before dawn, he and I both went to explore the depths of the mountains and forests.
It is said that in the deep mountains and dense forests, at night, the forest will always be enveloped by the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling, as if something is trying to crawl out from under the mountain soil collectively.
Even though Jianguo was as rough and arrogant as Niu Jianguo, he did not dare to be careless when he heard the news. He quickly took his cousins to set up protection. As for whether he could withstand the things deep in the mountains and forests, to be honest, no one was sure.
I didn't see Zhuge Yushu for two days in a row. After asking around, I finally found him in a corner outside the city gate.
At this time, Brother Mumu was leaning on the city gate. In front of him, the Tianji umbrella was slightly opened and standing on the ground. The sun was shining on the Tianji umbrella. As far as the eye could see, he could faintly see the densely packed and difficult-to-understand weird carvings on the umbrella leaves.
symbol.
"You are so elegant, are you basking in the sun?" I joked to Zhuge Yushu.
Brother Mu didn't even raise his head. He pulled his head together and his eyes were half closed. Although the sun was shining on his face, the strange thing was that his face was still extremely pale. I don't know, I thought this guy was doing some harm last night.
It’s about women from good families...
I asked Li En to sit down. She didn't know where she got two small bottles of wine. After handing them to me, she gave another bottle to Zhuge Yushu.
"He won't drink."
As soon as I finished speaking, Zhuge Yushu suddenly opened his eyes, picked up the wine in Li En's hand, raised his neck and took a big sip.
I was surprised. Good guy, I rarely saw him drinking before. What happened today? Is his brain clear?
"You're a little weird today. Could it be that something happened?" I stared at Zhuge Yushu and said.
Brother Mumu didn't look at me. He slowly stood up and tied the Tianji umbrella to his back again.
"I opened the Tianji Umbrella..." Zhuge Yushu said quietly.
I was surprised. I knew the mystery of this secret umbrella. It was said that it contained secrets that were difficult for ordinary people to know. Only people from the Zhuge family could open this umbrella, and every time it was opened, it would often lead to loss of life...
"What did you see?" I asked.
Zhuge Yushu stepped forward, and his back came into my eyes. His figure was thin and gleaming in the sunlight.
"I saw you."
"What did you see in me?" I was a little confused for a moment.
"I saw you and your death..."
As soon as Zhuge Yushu finished speaking, he suddenly coughed violently several times. Before I could speak, he walked away with difficulty, but under his leaving back, I could clearly see a pool of blood...
Zhuge Yushu's words made me a little confused, but not long after, Niu Jianguo's roar brought me back to reality.
In front of a tent, Niu Jianguo's face was ashen. The first time Li En and I rushed over, we saw a man lying on the ground covered in blood.
"Shopkeeper, this is Li Hu, who is also my cousin's old brother. He just came back from the depths of the mountains and forests." Niu Jianguo said with red eyes.
Li Hu's breath was weak, and his body was covered with blood. What was even more serious was that there were obviously several shocking bloody mouths on his heart and stomach. It was as if he had been viciously torn open by some wild beast, and there were still things visible inside.
White bones...
"Shopkeeper, Li Hu is useless. He brought ten brothers with him, but only one of them came back." Li Hu said with difficulty.
My heart skipped a beat. I narrowly escaped death. What had happened?
"Tell me slowly, what did you see?" I asked.
There was a look of horror in Li Hu's eyes, as if he didn't dare to recall everything he had encountered before.
"According to the instructions of the hall master, I took my brothers into the deepest part of the mountain forest. In that mountain, I saw densely packed dead objects. They crawled out of the ground and gathered in groups... Later, my brothers and I were trapped among them.
The dead object was discovered, but the others were unable to escape..."
I suddenly took a breath of air, and Niu Jianguo couldn't help but ask: "How many dead things can you see? How far away are they from us?"
Li Hu said in despair: "It's all in a vast expanse, with no end in sight; at their speed, they can arrive as soon as midnight..."
[Author's digression]: I would like to apologize to everyone. This year, the Tomb Raider update has actually been terrible, and I know it very well. On the one hand, I am too busy with work, and on the other hand, I have too many personal matters... But recently, I have
I resigned and started my own business. I will also update the novel as soon as possible. After all, this is what I like. I used to write for money. I hope that in the future I can write for interest and for all of you who support eggs.
