Chapter 423: A Blessing in Disguise
The place where Ling Tian is coming is Wu Zhan's residence, the former Shuai's Mansion has now become the Hou Ye's Mansion, Ling Tian must go to the previous military camp if he wants to find Wu Zhan, the camp has been relocated several times, this week, a large number of recruits have come to Yumen City to start military service, and there are many veterans and those soldiers who have completed their service to go back, but there are more who come in and few who go out, and many of them have died in battle.
The population of the entire Daqin is only 100 million, and many of Wu Xiong's troops are from the three counties under the jurisdiction of the Yumen Pass Theater, namely Xilu County, Anding County, and Changxi County, the population of Daqin is much less than that of the alliance, so the conscription policy is also a little stricter than that of the alliance, Daqin has military service, and all men who have reached the age must join the army, once a year, the time is basically after September, and this time is also the time when agriculture ends.
Ling Tian walked to the street, the street was bustling with many strange young faces, these people were all new recruits of the age this year.
Ling Tian continued to walk, and soon arrived outside the barracks, the barracks was already busy, but fortunately, Ling Tian saw Wu Zhan's busy figure.
"Wu Zhan!" Ling Tian shouted, Wu Zhan heard the sound and looked over, so he ordered his subordinates to take over the work in their hands and walk out.
"Didn't you say you were waiting for my news? Why, you can't wait?"
"No, I'm here to ask you about something, just now, Roger announced his surrender. ”
Wu Zhan was stunned for a moment, but he wasn't shocked, "How did you answer?"
"I accepted it, what do you think?"
Wu Zhan licked his lips and thought for a while, "You came here just to ask about this?"
"Hmm... Since you asked, then I will also tell you what I know, Roger I really don't know if he is an Guogong's person, but I really know a little about this person, Roger was born in the army, once followed General Sima Cuo to Shu to quell the rebellion, it can be said that there are a lot of achievements, but then I don't know why I didn't stay in the army, but established the Sky Wolf Gang Mercenary Group, which has been active in the entire Yumen Pass War Zone, headquartered in Yumen City, and his comrades who retired with him at the beginning, it can be said that his team is basically the former middle of the army, and his Sky Wolf Gang You have probably seen it, and the quality of personnel is much stronger than other mercenary groups, which is also the reason why he can sit firmly in the third position of the Yumen City Mercenary Group. ”
So it was, Ling Tian finally knew why he felt a hint of familiarity from Roger when he first saw him, it turned out that they were all of the same kind.
"But for Roger's surrender to you, I really didn't expect this, in my impression, Roger is very arrogant, let him be soft, it's rare. After Wu Zhan finished speaking, he walked around Ling Tian, "I didn't see you have such a great charm, it's really surprising." ”
Ling Tian was speechless for a while, what does it mean to have such a great charm? Brother has always been so powerful, right?
"Alright, I see, let's go. After Ling Tian finished speaking, he was about to leave, Wu Zhan said with a smile:
"I just saw Marlowe leading people into Ward 16, so be careful if your Roger is there. ”
Ling Tian turned his head suddenly, "Is it Marlo from the Tianwen Mercenary Regiment?"
Wu Zhan smiled slightly, Ling Tian seemed to have a premonition that something was wrong, so he turned around and walked towards the Sixteenth District, after Ling Tian left, Wu Zhan began to be busy recording and logging in again.
At this moment a soldier came up and saluted and asked:
"General, because of this year's expansion, the number of soldiers has increased greatly, and the old camp can no longer accommodate so many people. ”
Wu Zhan frowned, "What about the news over there?"
"Report to the general, it's already here, Xiang Shuihou agrees to your proposal, as long as the Eater of Extreme Beasts in the Sixteenth District is cleared, anyone can get the right to operate a piece of land, but the cost of reconstruction has to be paid for by themselves.
”
Wu Zhan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but fortunately agreed, originally the Sixteenth District was already a dead land, and the spread of scarlet pigment would make many ordinary people become the kind of monsters that people are not like human devouring beasts and not like devouring beasts, it is very difficult to fight such a place, as more and more soldiers pour into Yumen City, if you want to deal with the addresses of these people and the place of training, you can only do this.
Perhaps Ling Tian couldn't have imagined that this method of exchanging ten years of management rights was actually proposed by Wu Zhan.
Outside the Sixteenth District, Ling Tian stood at the entrance of the only iron-clad passage leading to the outside of the Sixteenth District, where the city defense army would shoot and kill the 'walking corpses' who ran out of it from time to time.
"Hey, who's who? you don't want to live, let's go!" the city guards shouted at Ling Tian as he walked towards the entrance of the passage, and as Ling Tian got closer and closer to the entrance, the air became redder and redder, as if some kind of red dust was wafting in the air.
Ling Tian spread out his hand, and this kind of red dust that could be seen by the naked eye slowly fell into the palm of his hand, and soon penetrated into the skin, and then, an inexplicable irritable feeling came to his heart, just like scarletin, which was the terrifying scarletin.
Ling Tian didn't listen to the advice, but continued to move forward, the door of an armored car parked on the side of the road suddenly opened, Ling Tian looked back in response, and couldn't help but smile, "It turned out to be the little marquis, why are you here?
Xiang Qingyun stumbled when he heard this, and the action of opening the door was half a beat slower, Ling Tian said it well, in fact, it was really because of this reason, Xiang Qingyun swore that he made a military order in front of Xiang Xi, but unfortunately not only did he not kill Ling Tian in the end, but also lost Xiang Shuihou's face, and Xiang Shuihou was angry and let Xiang Qingyun guard the gate of the sixteenth district.
As soon as he thought of this, Xiang Qingyun's teeth itched with anger, and he couldn't wait to eat Ling Tian raw directly.
"What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to see the little marquis, I heard that you were punished for guarding the gate, so I'm here to reward you. With that, Ling Tian took the stone sword from his back, Xiang Qingyun's mouth twitched, he glanced at the strange sword in Ling Tian's hand with fear, it was this sword that injured his father, he would never forget it when he died.
"You... What are you going to do? Let me tell you, I'm a little marquis!"
"Yes, yes, I know that you are the little marquis, the little marquis doesn't have to be so nervous, I'm just tired and playing with it, in addition, I will ask you about something, what is the situation in the sixteenth district now?"
"Hmph, why should I tell you?" Xiang Qingyun turned his face away, looking like he didn't answer.
Ling Tian didn't plan to ask anything, the scarlet pigment spread, there were many people who didn't have time to evacuate, with the speed of the scarlet pigment diffusion, after all these days, I am afraid it was really hell on earth.
Ling Tian ignored the city defenses and gradually disappeared into the red mist at the entrance.
"Little Hou Ye, just let him in, don't you stop him?"
"I'm still afraid that he won't go in, the population of 150,000 in the 16th district, only 60,000 or 70,000 escaped at the beginning, and now there are 50,000 or 60,000 'walking corpses' in it, not to mention that in the kind of scarlet pigment with visibility of less than ten meters, ordinary generals have to be careful, even if he is strong, he is exhausted, I don't believe that he can't die this time?"
"Block the gate for me, seal it completely, and don't let anyone out, especially the six paths!"
"Yes!"
Xiang Qingyun pulled the corners of his evil mouth, it seems that his father's policy has worked, and the ten-year management right has really let Liudao come, maybe he doesn't know what treasures are waiting for him in it.
......
"Ahh
"It must be Xiang Qingyun, this grandson is cursing me, it's really shameless!" Ling Tian scolded in a low voice, and then began to observe the four
Zhou, if he remembers correctly, he was on the main street of the 16th arrondissement.
In such a red mist area with visibility of less than five meters, although it was difficult to move an inch, it was simply a treasure for Ling Tian, as he inhaled more and more scarlet pigment, Ling Tian sensed that the blood of the Spirit Eye in his body actually reacted, as if it was like a nutrient, which was a surprise to Ling Tian.
Ling Tian immediately opened the eye of the Spirit Eye, and many black spots appeared in his field of vision, these black spots were rushing towards him at a rapid speed, Ling Tian clenched the stone sword in his hand, and then looked down, "I haven't given you a name, today I call you Heavenly Ghost, Heavenly Ghost Sword, I hope Heavenly Ghost knows that I can like it." Ling Tian sighed, and as soon as he raised his head, a mutant devouring beast with a dog's body in his field of vision rushed over.
Ling Tian opened his hand and pressed lightly towards the human-headed monster, the human-headed monster cracked open, and the human head separated and fell to the ground, Ling Tian opened his eyes in surprise, sure enough, the Supreme Sky Devouring Beast's bloodline ability could also be used.
After awakening the blood of the Martial God, it seems that he has also mutated, in the past, he was infected by scarlet at most and awakened the ability of the corresponding Extreme Devourer, but now it seems that scarlet has also become some kind of cultivation resource, Ling Tian couldn't help but smile bitterly, maybe it was a blessing in disguise.
"Haha, monsters, Lao Tzu is here, come on!"
Ling Tian laughed loudly, these monsters with the head and beast body who were already particularly sensitive to sound swarmed over, but when they were less than ten meters away from Ling Tian, they were all inexplicably cut into two pieces, and for a while, a mountain of corpses was piled up in front of Ling Tian, which looked extremely terrifying from a distance.
Ling Tian greedily absorbed the scarlet pigment of the air, and the three blood veins floating on his heart turned into small worms, one was red source blood, and the other two were the blue Sky Devouring Beast and the Dark Golden Spirit Eye Beast respectively, at this time, with the inhalation of the scarlet pigment, Ling Tian's whole body seemed to be boiling, he understood that they were slowly advancing.
At this time, Ling Tian seemed to have figured it out, this source blood was probably the origin of all ten thousand bloods, otherwise how could he explain the phenomenon that he could coexist with three bloods without dying?
Soon, the scarlet pigment in Ling Tian's area was completely absorbed, and Ling Tian began to transfer, picking on the places where the scarlet pigment was thick, and the places he walked through began to become normal.
An hour passed, two hours passed, and in the end, Ling Tian didn't know how long he had been in at all, he only knew that he should have walked around the entire sixteen districts, and when it was late at night, Ling Tian heard the sound of gunfire.
