Qianqiu, Yang Xian and the two rushed to the east gate one after the other.

The monsters were not as fast as the two of them, and the two of them arrived in time before the monsters invaded, allowing the messengers to close the city gates.

Qianqiu let out a big breath and said happily: "Old Yang, it's okay, we finally caught up." ”

Looking at the closed city gate, Yang Xian thought about it carefully and said: "It's only a temporary victory, although the monsters are blocked from the city gate by us, it is difficult to guarantee that they will smell the people in this high town, and they will attack more fiercely." Or abandon the town and go elsewhere. ”

Qianqiu thought about it for a while and said, "What is strange to me is that the mountain road is rugged, and several villages are separated by hundreds of miles, how can they smell the scent of people and track them down?"

Yang Xian shook his head and said, "We are understaffed, and now we have no way to investigate the source and solution of these things. We can only temporarily protect these people who have not yet been infected with the plague and corpses, and we can't control much of the rest. ”

At this time, a team of people arrived, and the messenger who took the lead hugged his fists at the two of them and said respectfully: "Two young heroes, our tall man in Gaozhen invited the two young heroes to the mansion to gather together to discuss the method of resisting the enemy. ”

Qianqiu smiled and said to Yang Xian: "I didn't expect this tall man to do things quite quickly. As soon as we helped him protect the people of a town, he asked us to discuss countermeasures together. ”

Yang Xian nodded, and said to the messenger who took the lead: "Lead the way in front of the head!"

【Gaozhen Mansion Office】

Gao Zhen's famous name is Gao Tong, who was transferred from the holy capital to Gao Zhen three years ago, although he lacked some rashness, but it also reflected his steady personality and reliable work.

Qualcomm waited in front of the government for a long time, and finally waited for Qianqiu and Yang Xian.

He hurriedly saluted and said, "Two young heroes, I heard that the messengers said that you saved our Gaozhen, and the lower officials are really ashamed." Xia Guan thanked the people of the town first. ”

Qianqiu waved his hand and said, "Don't come to these vain things, Lord Gao, don't you have a cultivator in your huge Gao Town? Besides, the merchants in your Gao Town come and go with Sihua Village so frequently, you don't even know that these monsters will come?"

When Gao Tong heard this, he felt a little helpless in his heart, and said: "Although Gao Zhen is located in Dongfang Mountain, which is surrounded by immortal energy, no cultivator is willing to cultivate here, and they all say that there are too many fireworks in the world...... There are also a considerable number of cultivators who went to take refuge in the Demon Suppression Guild in the big city after a little success, how could anyone still be willing to stay in this small town. Besides, we have frequent contacts with this Sihua Village, after all, we are ordinary people, and we don't know as much as you cultivators. ”

When Qianqiu heard this, he said, "It seems that it is also very inconvenient to be in the mountains. Now, the outbreak of the plague in Yishui Village has created these monsters. These monsters have come all the way, and they have already destroyed the golden light, and the two villages of Sihua, now it is your turn to Gao Town. ”

Qualcomm also heard Gao Yuanda talk about the horror of those monsters, and hurriedly said: "Two young heroes, how should this be?"

Yang Xian said: "These monsters are all transformed into corpses after death, they like to eat human flesh, and they have inexhaustible strength. But they are also afraid of fire, water, and weapons, and their weakness is in the head, and if they smash their head, they will immediately be unable to move. Thankfully, there are no monsters in the town these days. How many days can the food in the town last?"

"If we don't go to the outside world for exchanges, so many people, at most, seven days at most, food should be gone. Qualcomm thought for a moment and replied.

Qianqiu said: "This can't be done, the next town is not close to here, will these monsters leave for a while, Lord Gao, you have to send someone to ask for help." ”

When Gao Tong heard this, he was embarrassed, and said after a while: "Two young heroes, now the four city gates are surrounded by monsters, and we ordinary people can't go out for help." ”

"Tall, which city is closest to here?" asked Chiaki.

"Hurry up and get a map for the two young heroes!" Qualcomm said to the master.

After a while, the map was picked up, and Yang first took a closer look, and found that the nearest high town was Wuxia Town, and the larger city was Maple Leaf City outside Dongfang Mountain.

"Why don't you go to Wuxia Town for help?" the master interjected.

Yang Xian shook his head and said, "Wuxia Town is the same as your Gao Town, now is not the day to recruit disciples, and there is no manpower to help you. At the moment, I can only go to Maple Leaf City, and ask the city lord of Maple Leaf City to mobilize troops to relieve the siege. ”

Master nodded and said to Gao Tong: "My lord, there are several tunnels in our southern suburbs that can lead to the Sanli Pavilion outside the town. ”

"There are tunnels, but what about the horses? You can't let them run for help, right?" asked Qualcomm.

When Qianqiu heard this, he said, "Where is the entrance to Sanli Pavilion?"

"It's an abandoned house in the southern suburbs. ”

Qianqiu asked again: "Is the exit facing Sihua Village?"

"That's right. ”

"Looking for death? It's full of monsters right now. Chiaki scolded.

Yang Xian spoke at this time: "Okay, let's do it, Brother Qian and I will take the two of you out, and after you go out, one will go to Maple Leaf City to ask for help, and the other will go to Wuxia Town to spread the crisis." ”

"Thank you, Shaoxia. When Qualcomm heard this, there was a way to do it, and hurriedly thanked him.

Qianqiu put down the black cloth that had been carrying on her shoulders and said, "Black cloth, it's hard work, come down and eat something." ”

Yang Xian said: "Brother Qian, if you want to say that this black cloth is really sensible, since yesterday, he hasn't made much noise." ”

"I also wondered, when he was saving people, he was quiet, and I thought he was scared silly. Chiaki said as she fed the black cloth water.

Yang Xian looked at the busy messengers and said, "Brother Qian, it's not optimistic now. If we can't find the source of the plague, the plague can't be eliminated, not to mention that Wuxia Town will be surrounded by these monsters sooner or later, and other cities will also fall. ”

Qianqiu nodded and said, "Right now, we can only protect the town under our feet first, but it would be better if we had more helpers at this time." I regret that I didn't call Xiao Hu and a few of them. ”

Yang Xian said: "It seems that we can only rely on the two of us to support it, and we can only save these people when reinforcements arrive." ”

Subsequently, Qianqiu and Yang Xian successfully took two messengers out of the city.

Just as the two of them came back from the East City Gate, Gao Tong ran over with his master and said, "Two young heroes, I have arranged manpower at the four city gates, and there will be nothing wrong with this night, right?"

Chiaki looked at the sky, and it was already evening.

Yang Xian said: "Let the officers and soldiers guarding the city send people not to speak loudly, it should not stir up the monsters outside the city gate." ”

"Obey!" Qualcomm knew that he had no ability in comparison, and he trusted the two of them, almost to the point of obeying orders.

Finally, the setting sun finally glanced hard at this high town, and finally refused to go down the mountain.

This night, Gao was calm and unusual, and there was no longer the prosperity of the past, and every house turned off the lights and stopped talking loudly.

Besides, Wang Xiaoqi and his wife left the city gate and rushed directly to the eldest brother's house to borrow it.

"Big brother, big brother, open the door quickly, my brother is here. Wang Xiaoqi shouted as he knocked on the door.

The door opened, and Wang Xiaoqi's brother Wang Boss walked out.

Wang Boss is not thicker than Wang Xiaoqi, there are not a few taels of meat on his body, he is thin and dry, and he is also more shrewd.

He hurt people, and as soon as he opened the door and saw Wang Qingxuan, he reached out to hug him: "Brother, brother and sister, why are you here, oh, and my lovely little niece!"

"Big brother, go in and talk about it. After Wang Xiaoqi finished speaking, he pushed the door and walked in.

After Wang Xiaoqi's complaint, the Wang Boss and his family, who opened the dyeing workshop, were dumbfounded.

"And that kind of thing? In that case, Gao Zhen is also in danger. Boss Wang said, "How did you get out of the village? ”

Wang Xiaoqi talked to Qianqiu and Yang Xian again.

Boss Wang nodded as he listened, and said, "It's good to have a cultivator, it should be fine." ”

Speaking of this, Boss Wang hurriedly instructed his family to strengthen the doors and windows in the dyeing workshop, in case monsters from outside the city entered the town and would enter the house at that time.

After reinforcing the doors and windows and having dinner again, Boss Wang was a little worried, and called a few guys to check the doors of the house once, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and relieved himself a little.

At night, a large family gathered around the hall chatting.

"Brother, where did you say these monsters came from?" Boss Wang suddenly remembered and asked.

Wang Xiaoqi said: "Listening to those two young heroes, it seems that there is a plague outbreak in Yishui Village, and then the plague infects people, and people die, and after death, they will become monsters." If these zombie monsters bite someone, that person will also become a monster. ”

"Boss, our account office went to Master Wang's house in Sihua Village early in the morning to collect the accounts, and it seems that he hasn't come back yet. At this time, Boss Wang's wife suddenly mentioned it.

Boss Wang waved his hand and said, "When is it, the account office has not come back, it has not come back." ”

"No, boss, I'm still looking at the account room in the afternoon to go out to buy medicine......" The dyeing workshop guy standing aside said.

"Buy medicine, what kind of medicine to buy?" Wang Xiaoqi had a hint of foreboding, so he asked.

"The bookkeeper said that it seemed that he had fallen on the way to Sihua Village, and I saw that his wrists were full of blood, so I asked him to hurry up and buy medicine. The young man said as he recalled.

Boss Wang stood up suddenly and asked, "Where was the last time you saw the account room?"

It seems that he is in the firewood room in the backyard, and he is collecting firewood to cook. The young man said.

When Boss Wang heard this, he said to himself: "Something is wrong, this Lao Li usually comes to the front to take a turn after eating, and it is night today, and he didn't come." ”

Wang Xiaoqi came down with this sweat, and whispered to Boss Wang: "Big brother, shouldn't this account room be a ......?"

Boss Wang was also vigilant, and ordered the young man to bring the woman and the old and weak into the house.

"Brother, let's go to the firewood room and have a look. He said in passing.

The two took two sticks, took the oil lamp, and walked to the firewood room in the backyard.

The firewood room in the backyard only piles some firewood on weekdays, and it is a mess, and few people come.

The two of them walked in by the dim light.

"Big brother, what do you think is that?" Wang Xiaoqi's eyes were sharp, pointing to one place.

Boss Wang fixed his eyes and hurriedly walked over, and when he looked down, he saw the account room lying on the ground.

"I shouldn't have been dead for long, you see that your body is still hot. Wang Xiaoqi said.

At this moment, the two only heard a knock on the door of the store.

"Boss Wang, open the door!" came a few impatient voices outside the door.

Boss Wang was a little surprised by the sudden knock on the door, but he quickly eased up, and heard that it was the lofty voice of the government, and thought that it was really good, and this life should be reported to the official.

As soon as the door opened, Boss Wang saw Gao Yuanda holding a torch and standing outside the door with a group of messengers.

"Your Excellency, are you here?" said Boss Wang warmly.

Gao Yuanda glanced disdainfully, saw Wang Xiaoqi standing behind, and said, "It turns out that this kid is your brother." ”

"Yes, this is my brother Wang Xiaoqi, who has been in Sihua Village, there is no such thing as a monster, and he has come to join me. Boss Wang said politely.

Gao Yuanda took out a piece of paper from his arms and said, "I think you also know that the monsters are besieging the city, and the government is also very hard to resist. I'm not going to talk nonsense with you, in order to work together to resist the monsters, I'm here to levy it, how much do you want to pay?"

When Boss Wang heard this, he knew it in his heart and said, "My lord said, how much?"

"One hundred taels. Gao Yuanda raised his eyebrows and said a number casually.

As soon as Wang Xiaoqi heard this, one hundred taels? Ordinary people don't know if there are one hundred taels after ten years of saving, but now this official asks for one hundred taels when he opens his mouth, isn't this a blatant robbery?

He just wanted to go up and argue, but was pressed down by Boss Wang.

Boss Wang said: "My lord, a hundred taels is not difficult, but now there is a matter that urgently needs to be called by adults!"

"What's the matter?" Gao Yuanda asked with a mouthful of saliva.

Boss Wang said: "My family's account office is dead, and now it is in the backyard." ”

When Gao Yuanda and the messengers heard this, they immediately turned to the official knife they were wearing and became nervous.

Gao Zhen rarely has a fatality, and this death of a person for no reason is a big deal.

Gao Yuanda hurriedly asked, "Where is the body?" ”
