Chapter 189: Endgame in the Imperial Capital (1)
Since the fierce battle that night, a third of the buildings in the imperial capital have been destroyed, and the entire city is empty and empty. Moreover, under the forced intervention of external forces, this empty city was cut off from all external information, and no one approached within the range of the imperial capital's borders extending outward for dozens of miles.
Without people to sustain it, the city is no longer what it used to be – the streets are littered with garbage coming from nowhere, and the cars parked on the side of the road are covered with a faint layer of dust. In the supermarket, the food in the refrigerator that had been out of power for several days was damaged and emitted a foul smell.
Li Dazhuang and Wushuang walked side by side on the empty street, each of them holding a piece of bread in their hands and a large bag of bread on their backs.
After Li Dazhuang ate the bread in his hand in two bites, he seemed to feel a little uncomfortable, took the big bag on his shoulder to his chest, took out another piece of bread from the bag, tore it open and took out the bread, pinched it with both hands, and pinched the whole piece of bread to only one-fifth of the size of the previous one, and stubbornly kneaded a piece of soft bread into a firm discus. He rolled the discus again, stuffed it into his big mouth, chewed it twice, and swallowed it again.
"Oh~" Li Dazhuang snorted in satisfaction.
"That's not how bread is eaten. Wushuang glanced at Li Dazhu with disgusted eyes, he hadn't washed it for several days, and he picked up a loaf of bread with bloody dirty hands and gave him a demonstration: "Look, take the bread out of the bag first, don't pinch it, take a bite first, chew it twice, um~" Wushuang's mouth was filled with soft bread, and he couldn't hear it clearly: "Feel the sweet taste, and this soft and whirring taste." ”
Li Dazhuang glanced at him nonchalantly, shook his head and said, "It's too empty to eat like this." I don't have the steamed steamed buns in my hometown to fight hunger. ”
"It's not going to work. Wushuang said with hatred of iron.
Because everyone ran out, the major stores and supermarkets in the imperial capital were also unattended, but it was cheaper for the two of them, and they ran to the supermarket to loot, the whole thing was like in the apocalyptic movie, after eating and drinking, they each found a big bag, and before going out, they also packed two large bags of food.
At this time, a man was wandering the street with a large bag on his back.
Their injuries have improved a lot now, and the physical injuries are trivial for people like them who practice outer martial arts, and the resistance has passed in a few days, but now their skills have not fully recovered.
Originally, with the physical state of the two of them, he would have been able to leave the imperial capital a day ago, but Wushuang said that the emperor said that he wanted him to wait in place and not leave without permission, so he insisted on staying.
"Don't worry, although the old Huangfu cowardly bag is very cowardly and annoying, he still counts his words and has never broken his promise. Let's wait for him here. Wushuang was afraid that Li Dazhuang couldn't wait to leave, so he spoke out to comfort him.
"But ......"
"What's there. Believe me. Wushuang opened another loaf of bread, demonstrated the correct way to eat to Li Dazhuang for the eleventh time, his mouth was stuffed with soft bread, and he began to slurred again: "Moreover, we have been brothers for so many days, so you don't want your eldest brother to be a villain who has no promise." I promised the emperor to be cowardly. ”
"Alas, okay, okay. My master is still in Yannan City, I'm just a little worried about him. Li Dazhuang always remembered that Ouyang Qi, who was seriously injured, was lying in an inn in Yannan City to recuperate.
"Of course, of course. The master is bedridden, and of course the apprentice has to go over and take care of it. When the old man comes, let's go to see your master together. Wushuang said innocently: "Anyway, now the fight is over." ”
"Then wait three days at most. If you can't meet the emperor's predecessors, I can't wait with you any longer. Li Dazhuang took a step back and said.
"No problem. Wushuang replied crisply.
The two men agreed to continue to munch on their faces as they walked west along the horizontal street, where the setting sun stretched their shadows long.
The raccoon dog, who was on guard on the roof of the building, suddenly saw two men in tattered clothes walking from east to west on the street across the street from here, and immediately became alert, and she bowed down, leaving only one eye to observe the two men. Just as she was looking at where the two people came from, there were suddenly two more old slaves beside her.
"Are you going to dispose of them?" said the old slave, in a low, hoarse voice.
"Don't act rashly. The tanuki shook his head slightly.
After about ten minutes, Tanuki noticed that the two men were constantly eating a bag of food on their backs, and chatting as they walked, without any vigilance, as if they were lounging.
"Could it be a beggar?" the raccoon shook her head again, and her piercing eyes clearly saw that the clothes on the two men were all traces of the fight, and they were covered in blood, as if they had experienced a great battle. "Probably the people who survived the invasion of the imperial capital a few days ago. ”
Li Dazhuang and Wushuang, the two nervous guys, didn't notice at all that on a tall building somewhere a street away, there were three pairs of eyes staring at them, watching them chatting and walking away.
"What the hell are they going to do?" the raccoon dog was blinded by the two big grinning men. The war is over, why haven't they left?
If these two people are unable to leave on their own because they fell behind that day and are seriously injured, then looking at their current state, their injuries should be almost better, at least it should be no problem to leave here.
If these two are to stay and investigate the situation in the imperial capital, then they should also be vigilant at all times and carefully collect the information left in the city.
But it is clear that those two people do not belong to either of the above two.
Could it be that you can't just hang out for a walk? Tanuki smiled bitterly, there wouldn't be such a fool.
It's a pity that Li Dazhuang and Wushuang are such fools.
"I'll have to tell Miss. After seeing the two fools go away, Tanuki turned around and went downstairs into the room where Wu Yan was in the hotel.
That night, Wu Yan stayed behind and talked to Xu Guan about some of the ascension events that had been handed down from ancient times, and then left to live in the room next to the raccoon dog, leaving Xu Guan alone to rest in the original room.
When Tanuki came to the room, Wu Yan was levitating in the center of the room to cultivate, recovering the magic power she had spent a few days ago, and a blooming lotus flower was supporting her under her.
"Miss. The raccoon stood in the doorway and called softly.
Wu Yan slowly opened his eyes and looked at the door: "What's the matter?"
"The slave maid had just seen two men passing by in the nearby street, and judging by their damaged clothes and bloodstained appearances, they must have been involved in the battle a few days ago. ”
"Who are they?" Wu Yan wondered, someone else dared to appear in the imperial capital recently?
"I can't see it. Tanuki shook her head.
"How do you feel?" asked Wu Yan. "Our people, or the iron guards of the inn, or the loose cultivators or martial artists of the third party?"
"Martial artist. Tanuki said truthfully.
"Why a martial artist?"
"Our people and the people of the inn should have been evacuated, and even if they stayed, they must be ordered to stay here, and there must be strict requirements when they act, and they will definitely not wander the streets like the two of them. Moreover, they were tall and burly in physique, which did not match the appearance of monks, and only martial artists who had been practicing kung fu for many years would have such an appearance. ”
Wu Yan nodded after hearing this, quite agreeing with Tanuki'er's analysis.
When the raccoon had finished reporting, he bowed and withdrew, and went back to the outside to be on guard.
The door closed, and Wu Yan closed his eyes again and entered the cultivation again.
On the street, Wushuang and Li Dazhuang didn't know that their whereabouts had been discovered, and they still chatted and walked heroically, and they didn't forget to appreciate the deliciousness of the entrance.
The two fools walked all the way to the west end of the city, and the setting sun only left half of their faces on the horizon, and the red glow illuminated the two of them orange, and they realized that a large bag of food on their backs had been eaten.
"Go back and continue eating?" Musou burped.
"Keep eating. Li Dazhuang touched his round belly, thinking that although he was eight points full, he could still eat some more, after all, he had rarely eaten so many delicious things before.
Li Dazhuang and Wushuang turned around and walked back, facing the city, which was mostly hidden in the shadows, and all they could see was the outline of the building in the distance.
"We've long finished turning the southeast and southwest, and now the northwest is almost the same. It's time to take a look at the northeast. Wushuang crossed his fingers and analyzed. When the two of them were hungry for the first time, they found a supermarket nearby, and after eating and drinking in it, they were completely conquered by those high-calorie snacks and fast food, and they were trapped in the world of bread, burgers, mineral water, and hamburger and cola ice cream.
To their regret, after the power outage, the ice cream in the freezer melted, and the room temperature Coke was not as exciting as the iced Coke. The two of them were forced to leave the small area where they had been hiding, and then wandered around the entire imperial capital in search of other good food.
"Then let's go to the Northeast region. Li Dazhuang followed Wushuang around and walked northeast.
Northeast region. In a dark building somewhere.
A dark shadow sat in the dark, empty room, like a life-like sculpture, silent, only his subtle breath proved that he was a living person, not a dead thing.
Huangfu Yi has been recuperating from internal injuries here with a blank face, but the old dragon's tail is really domineering.
The hard dragon scales, coupled with the power of Qianjun, the damage caused by the rampage on the body is really huge, but the poor old man of the emperor is a handful of years, his beard and hair are white, and he has suffered such a strong guy, he has not practiced the hard skills of the outer door, when he fell to the ground, his internal organs were almost displaced, and he did not enter a drop of water in the past two days, and he has been relying on the strong internal force to survive.
Suddenly, sitting quietly in the dark, he opened his eyes, coughed softly, and looked south through the dark wall.
"That idiot must still be waiting there. One more night, and tomorrow morning, go find him. ”
Huang Fu Yi muttered in his heart, closed his eyes again, and once again used the internal force of his body, warming and repairing the meridians and viscera.
