About twenty minutes later, Michiko Chiba arrived at the Lingpingan store carrying steaming takeout and a large bag of stuff.
This surprised Lingpingan!
It is unimaginable that such a thin little girl can actually carry a heavy bag with one hand and walk like flying!
"Oh!" Chiba Michiko was still the same as before. She smiled brightly and put the beef rice bowl on the counter: "Lingsang, this is your takeaway!"
"Yeah!" Lingpingan smiled.
She struggled to put the heavy bag on the counter: "Your beef and butter!"
"Thank you for your hard work!" Lingpingan immediately thanked him: "How much does the beef and butter cost? I'll transfer it to you later!"
"Six hundred yuan from Lingsang is enough!" Michiko Chiba said after bowing.
Lingpingan didn't have any objection. He trusted the other party and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll transfer it to Qianye-chan's souvenir later!"
"Okay!" The little Fusang girl bowed sweetly.
Looking at the little girl's retreating figure, Lingpingan put the beef and butter aside first.
He took out the take-out lunch box and opened it to see that today's take-out was still abundant!
On the round rice, thick slices of beef are arranged neatly.
Today’s gifts are even more generous!
In addition to sea urchin steamed eggs, there is also a small bowl of salmon roe!
The golden fish eggs have been pickled and look mouth-watering!
"It's delicious!" Lingpingan couldn't wait to take a bite of the salmon roe, and he gave a thumbs up.
…………………………………………
Sitting at the dining table, Ingulat ate the food in front of him.
She was a little absent-minded.
Because Accardo hasn't come back yet!
"Will there be any accident?" She couldn't help but worry.
Lord Accardo of the Blood River is the most important trump card of the United Kingdom of Butania right now!
It is also the guarantee of the United Kingdom’s status as a great power!
If something unexpected happens to Him in the east...
Not to mention the external world, just the three brother countries internally will probably be fooled soon!
Especially the Kingdom of Kate, where Kate is the main body!
That’s the one who clamors to be independent every day!
Fortunately, the scepter in her hand was still intact.
Therefore, Accardo must have just been delayed by something!
Just as she was thinking about these things, a sticky river of blood fell from the ceiling and fell into the scepter in her hand.
"Accardo!" Ingulat immediately became happy: "You are back!"
However, Accardo did not speak.
He fell into the scepter and huddled tightly together.
"What's wrong?" Ingulat asked.
"Ivey is dead..." Accardo sighed in a low voice.
Evie?
Ingulat thought about it, she had seen it before.
That's a devil duke!
"Actually..." Accardo said, "You should be able to feel it too!"
"Duke Ivey is the Lord of the fourth level of hell!"
"All the people in Qinlu should have felt his fall, and the people in Russia should have a strong feeling!"
For Qin Lu, most people still believe in the same religion - Christianity.
However, some people believe in the old religion, and some people believe in the new religion.
In Christian legends, hell actually exists in everyone's heart.
This is also the core teaching of Christianity: everyone is guilty and needs to repent and need the salvation of the Son!
The so-called hell is actually the specific manifestation of the seven deadly sins in the Christian world.
Therefore, the devil dukes can quickly become active after the spiritual energy is revived and actively intervene in the world.
This is because they exist in the dark side of the soul of everyone in Qinlu.
When the first Qinlu people who believed in the Cross Religion became extraordinary, they also returned.
Ingulat listened and nodded: "No wonder I suddenly felt relaxed last night..."
"It turns out that there is a sin that has faded away!"
She couldn't help but pray in her heart.
Then, she knew the seriousness of the problem!
A hellish devil prince died in the east like this?
"Did the governor take action?" She couldn't help but ask, and then denied it herself: "Impossible! He hasn't reached this point yet!"
The Devil Duke of Hell is far inferior to those divine beings in terms of status.
But their difficulty and indestructibility are universally recognized!
In a sense, as long as hell is not broken, they will never die!
Even if they are destroyed, they still have a chance to be resurrected - unless they die at the hands of another devil.
But where to find another Devil Duke in this East?!
"It is indeed not the governor..." Accardo said: "I checked..."
"Although the governor is in this city... he has not taken any action at all!"
"There are no signs of fighting or any traces of psychic energy in this city..."
"Duke Ivey...it was as if he was killed casually...and, from the beginning to the end, he had no ability to resist!"
Having said this, Accardo curled up his spirit body a little more.
He dared to come to the East for two reasons.
First: As long as He does not break the rules, the pride of the Orientals will not make a move against Him!
Even if He breaks the rules, because of tradition, Easterners generally will not kill him, and will be sent out of the country with gifts after being imprisoned for decades!
Second: He is theoretically unkillable!
As long as there is a drop of blood in His blood river that has not dried up, he will not die, he will only fall into deep sleep!
But now, the inexplicable death of Duke Ivey has sounded the alarm for him.
Even the devil's duke can fall.
Is there anything else that won't happen in this land?
Moreover, Mr. A and a total of thirteen party witches disappeared together last night!
The difficulties of these people are also not beneath Him!
But they, all of them, are like air, disappearing without a trace in this eastern city.
"From today onwards, we will all act with caution..." Accardo said: "That young bookstore owner may have secrets and backing that we don't know about!"
This is the only explanation.
Behind that ordinary Oriental man there is a mysterious backer that is unknown to everyone.
It might be his elder, or it might be the guardian of his family, such as an ancient hidden powerhouse.
Just like the Sage of the Bamboo Grove!
……………………………………………………
Lingpingan patted his chubby belly.
Burping, I made myself a cup of fragrant tea.
Then he sat down and said beautifully: "It feels so good to feel full!"
Meow!
Kitten Best, who had slept all morning, smelled the aroma of tea and stood up from the corner of the counter.
He jumped on Lingpingan and looked at the cup of tea eagerly.
"Little Greedy Cat, Little Greedy Cat, you really live up to your reputation!" Lingpingan brought a new cup and shared a small half cup with the little guy with a smile.
The kitten immediately put its head into the cup and drank happily.
After finishing the drink, he licked his lips in a very humane manner, then leaned on the counter and squinted his eyes comfortably!
Lingpingan smiled and touched its head.
Then he collected all the garbage on the counter, and then dumped the two days' household garbage into the trash can!
Carrying the trash can and walking out the door, he dumped all the garbage into the trash can at the entrance of the store.
Suddenly, he thought of something, so he took out his phone and dialed the number of the neighborhood laundromat.
"Aunt Wang..."
"I am safe...I have to trouble you to pick up my clothes again..."
There have been at least ten days' worth of clothes piled in the bathroom.
If I don’t wash it, Lingpingan will feel like it’s going to stink!
After hanging up the phone, Lingpingan returned to the store.
He opened the bag on the counter and looked at the contents.
"It's so beautiful!" He took out the piece of beef and looked at it. The beautiful snowflake pattern made it his favorite beef!
"Let's go!" Lifting the bag, Lingpingan greeted the kitten Best.
Meow!
The little guy immediately jumped down from the counter, followed the master's footsteps, and walked up the stairs together.
It sounds strange!
This old wooden staircase in Lingping's house makes a little different sound during the day and at night.
It sounds a little bit ominous at night.
But it was much better during the day, and the crunching sound was much quieter.
"Maybe it's because there are more other sounds during the day!" Lingpingan thought.
Walking upstairs, Lingpingan opened the beef and took out the butter in packages.
Michiko Chiba brought him the better Nanzhou Butter!
Each piece is about 300 grams!
But because it was frozen for too long, it became a bit hard!
Therefore, it needs to be thawed before use. Lingpingan put the beef in the refrigerator compartment, then put the butter on the counter and let it melt at room temperature.
Then I found at least twenty pieces of clothing from the bathroom.
It took three full handbags to fill!
"I am really..." Lingpingan held these things and laughed at himself: "A genius!"
He estimated that among his peers, there were very few examples like him.
When I walked downstairs, Aunt Wang's niece happened to arrive.
Lingpingan handed the three handbags to her, and then said to the little girl with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, I will transfer the money to Aunt Wang later!"
The other party was very polite and said with a smile: "It's okay!"
He picked up these three handbags and put them in front of the little eDonkey.
Didi!
The little electric donkey drove into the distance!
…………………………………………
Ran Bing drove an off-road motorcycle and ran wildly on the deserted surface.
Behind her, a dozen slender and extremely fast monsters were rapidly approaching her.
"Damn it!" Ran Bing glanced back at the monster that was getting closer and closer.
"The scarlet beast's speed has increased again!"
This made her heart fall into the deepest abyss.
Scarlet beast!
Humanity's nightmare!
Twenty years have passed since the collapse of the old world!
But humans still don’t know where these terrifying monsters come from?
What is their ecology and behavior like?
The only thing humans know about these monsters is that they are unkillable!
At least, humanity’s current technological means and weapons are ineffective against them!
Whether it's guns or bombs, they can only temporarily paralyze them.
Maybe an hour or maybe a day later, they will be able to stand up alive again and continue to hunt down any humans who come into their sight!
so……
Desperate humans can only escape into the few floating cities that can still be used, staying away from the ground to avoid the pursuit of these terrifying monsters.
However……
The problem is that the old world has collapsed.
The entire world's ecology has collapsed!
Except for floating cities, there is no place where humans can survive safely!
But the operation of floating cities requires a lot of materials and energy!
Especially energy!
All humans in the floating city can only take the risk of landing from the sky and coming to the ground to look for possible energy sources and other supplies.
Including various production lines and parts.
In this process, if you are lucky, one harvest can keep the floating city running in the sky for half a year or even several years!
But bad luck, encountering a herd of scarlet beasts.
Often the whole army is wiped out!
The destruction of the adventure team, in a normal sense, has only one result for the survivors of the entire floating city: waiting to die!
Because the adventure team is a collection of the city's elite.
Once the entire adventure team is wiped out on the ground, the survivors of the floating city can only risk sending young people without training and combat experience into the ground.
Generally speaking, it is difficult for them to come back alive.
Twenty years after the great collapse, Ran Bing's floating city has encountered several floating cities with only a few thousand people left waiting to die in the sky.
In order to survive, usually, most floating cities will only accept young women and children from another floating city.
They don't want old people and men.
Therefore, every warrior in the floating city will do whatever it takes to create life for his companions when they encounter danger while venturing on the ground.
Just like what Ran Bing is doing now.
The moment she discovered the scarlet beast, she took the initiative and drove this off-road motorcycle found from the old world to lure away the herd of scarlet beasts.
Because every soldier knows it.
If the adventure team is in danger, the entire city may be plunged into disaster!
Seeing it, the scarlet beast chasing behind him was getting closer and closer.
Ran Bing couldn't help but closed her eyes: "Farewell!"
Her eyes flashed across the faces of her comrades in the floating city, as well as the enthusiastic civilians.
As a warrior, she has already anticipated death!
puff!
At this moment, her motorcycle suddenly stalled.
Ran Bing knew that he had reached the last moment.
She fired the grenade tied to her arms.
She closed her eyes tightly and waited for death to come - she knew what would happen to humans who fell into the hands of the scarlet beast!
Those monsters will suck all the substances out of the flesh and blood of everyone they capture!
but……
The grenade did not go off.
and……
The roar of the scarlet beast and the pursuit pace disappeared from my ears.
She opened her eyes.
There is a fog in front of me!
I couldn't see the surrounding scenery clearly at all.
She lowered her head and saw that the body frame of the motorcycle she was riding found in the old world was being corroded by something rapidly.
In an instant, there was only a little ashes left!
Ran Bing was stunned.
She tried to take two steps forward, and then found that she seemed to have stepped on something.
She lowered her head and saw something under her feet.
The skin is red all over, with tentacles hanging down on both sides, and the huge eyes are like lanterns!
It's the Scarlet Beast!
but……
It is dead now.
Monsters that could not be killed by human guns and bombs died in this fog.
And he was completely dead!
Ran Bing felt that this monster was quickly being dissolved by some kind of force.
Its flesh, flesh and bones are rapidly liquefying.
In just five seconds, this monster that had left humans helpless was reduced to ashes.
Ran Bing took a deep breath.
She knelt down and pulled out a silver crystal from the ashes!
This crystal is square.
Ran Bing reached out and touched it, and felt the writing on it.
"U-M-B-R-E-L-L-A!" Ran Bing silently recited the letters he touched and then combined them.
"Umbrella!" She was stunned: "Umbrella?!"
She was too familiar with this name.
Many materials and commodities in the old world have its mark.
Even the floating city has its mark.
Countless data show that this old world company or organization called Umbrella once spread all over the world and participated in almost all human projects.
Weapons have it, buildings have it, medicinal materials have it!
Now……
Even the Scarlet Beast has it!
"What happened in the old world?" Ran Bing asked.
But no one could give her the answer.
This fog is so deep that there is no way out.
Ran Bing tried to turn back, but she soon discovered that she couldn't get out at all.
She kept running in circles!
This almost drove her into despair!
until……
At a certain moment, a little flickering light appeared ahead.
…
There will be additional updates for the cute protagonist soon!
