Chapter 1204: The Land of Hope (7)
Professor Qi's mood, Meng Zitao could understand, but now that the environment was not right, he could only interrupt Professor Qi.
"Professor, people can't be resurrected after death, and I ask you to mourn. When we have time, we will come back to cremation. ”
Professor Qi was silent for a moment, raised his head and stared at Meng Zitao, and after a while, he sighed: "Can you cremate him now, I'm worried that there are still fierce beasts around here." ”
Meng Zitao said: "Professor, it's not that I'm unreasonable, it's really that we have to race against time now, and we don't have time to wait for the cremation to end." In addition, since there are dragons here, the possibility of other beasts nearby is very low. ”
"Can you guarantee that there won't be any other beasts?" Professor Qi suddenly raised his voice.
Meng Zitao could see that Professor Qi should be blaming him for not protecting Xiao Qin in his heart, and he could understand this in his heart, but without knowing it, who could guard against a mythical creature like Jiaolong? Unless he became an immortal, but that was the future, not the present.
"Professor Qi, I can understand your feelings, but now is not the time to be emotional, I believe that Xiao Qin's spirit in the sky doesn't want to see him disrupt all our plans. ”
Professor Qi gritted his teeth, and finally agreed with Meng Zitao's opinion, but Meng Zitao would not let Xiao Qin's body be left like this, he quickly dug a pit and buried it shallowly, so as not to be really destroyed by animals, which would be embarrassing.
In this way, Professor Qi's anger also disappeared a little, and he didn't say anything more, and everyone started again.
Find another location on the map, which is indeed an illuminated plaza, and again, the statue and torch have been destroyed.
Both lighting squares were destroyed, and the damage was severe, and Mencius thought that the possibility of vandalism was very high, so what was the motive behind it?
In any case, the points marked on the map are clear, and the one in the middle should be the location of the palace.
After not finding important items around, everyone returned the same way, and when they arrived at the river, Jiaolong's body was still there, which was in line with Meng Zitao's guess, and Professor Qi was relieved to see that the soil just filled in had not been moved.
Everyone crossed the stone bridge in fear, and suddenly heard a gunshot not far away.
Meng Zitao's face changed, and he said, "It's not good, it seems that our people shot it." ”
The others also changed their faces and hurried towards the camp, but fortunately no more gunshots were heard on the way.
Returning to the camp, Meng Zitao saw that everyone was safe and sound, and the atmosphere was not tense, and it was a little strange, but when he saw Zhu Zhong, he understood what was going on.
"Zhu Lao, I didn't expect to meet again. Meng Zitao greeted him and looked at his legs: "Your legs ......"
Zhu Zhongshi smiled slightly: "At least don't worry about action." ”
"Oh. Meng Zitao asked again: "What about your housekeeper, why didn't you see him, wouldn't he be parting ways with you?" ”
Zhu Zhongshi's expression was gloomy: "I hope he and I will part ways, but unfortunately he sacrificed to protect me just now." ”
"Good luck to the elderly. ”
Meng Zitao said: "However, can you ask, what is your situation now?"
Zhu Zhongshi said: "If you look at what I'm wearing now, you can understand what the situation is." ”
Zhu Zhongcheng had some blood stains on his body, and his clothes were a little tattered, and he looked a little embarrassed.
Meng Zitao looked at him and said, "You should know that this is not what I am asking. ”
Zhu Zhongshi smiled: "No way, I have limited hole cards in my hand, I have to know if you are willing to cooperate with me." ”
Meng Zitao looked at Zhu Zhongshi and said with a smile: "What do you want to cooperate with me? What benefits can I get from cooperating with you?"
Zhu Zhongshi said: "I have the internal map of the Exquisite Palace, I know the layout inside, and we can cooperate to minimize casualties." And I only have one request, give me a copy of the recipe. ”
Meng Zitao laughed and said, "Then why should I cooperate with you? Don't you know as much as Pony King and Li Rongfa?"
"They don't know much more than I do, and my requirements are the bare minimum. Zhu Zhongshi said.
Meng Zitao smiled: "We Mingren don't say dark words, presumably you should have a reason why I have to cooperate with you." ”
Zhu Zhongshi smiled: "I like to talk to smart people, I have planted a bomb in the cave, a timer device in my body, once I die, or I detonate it myself, everyone should not think about going out." ”
Meng Zitao was happy in his heart: "I'll let you sleep." ”
Of course, Meng Zitao now feels that Zhu Zhongshi still has use value, and it will not stimulate Zhu Zhongshi too much.
"How do I know if you lied to me?" Meng Zitao said lightly on the surface.
Zhu Zhongshi said very easily: "I'm also old, you can try it." Actually, my requirements are not high, and I don't have much to lose to you at all, the key is that who knows if that prescription will be useful or not?"
Meng Zitao pondered for a moment, then stretched out his hand to Zhu Zhongshi and said, "Happy cooperation." ”
"Happy working together!"
The two shook hands, in fact, they both knew in their hearts that the cooperative relationship between the two sides was very fragile, and it would be broken at the first touch, but for Zhu Zhongshi, cooperating with Meng Zitao was the best choice at this stage, and Meng Zitao wanted to know more about the situation ahead and what the danger was, and he didn't want to die anymore.
There are only four people left around Zhu Zhongshi now, and all of them are wounded, only one of them is a bullet penetrating wound, and the other three are all scratched and bitten wounds.
"Zhu Lao, we saw the crossfire just now, it should be you, right?" Meng Zitao asked.
"Yes, we met a Lama ...... near the palace."
Meng Zitao interrupted Zhu Zhongshi's words: "Yonghe, is there such a thing here?"
Yonghe is a strange beast, with red eyes, red mouth, yellow fur, looks a bit like an ape, it is the ancient god of panic, legend has it that once it appears, there will be a catastrophe and famine.
"I don't know if it's Yonghe, but it looks very similar, and it's very big, more than three meters tall, it moves quickly, it has a copper head and iron arms, and the bullet can only wipe off some of its fur, and there is nothing to do with it. And that thing not only has a group of ape brothers, but also a bell, with the stick in its hand, the sound of the bell will make people emotionally confused and cannibalistic. ”
At this time, Zhu Zhongshi showed a palpitating expression, and then a trace of anger flashed on his face.
Meng Zitao was very curious and asked, "Was that Yonghe killed by you later?"
"I know it's dead or not. Zhu Zhongshi said, "We are surrounded by the people of Pony King and Li Rongfa, and if it weren't for them, it would be impossible for so many people to die on my side." ”
"They're teamed up?"
"At least when it came to me, they joined forces. ”
"Looks like they should hate you to the bone. Meng Zitao's tone was a little gloating, now he looks like a lost dog in Zhuzhong, but in fact, in his glorious time, he was completely the master of Xunlingwei, and he was ruthless when he fought against dissidents, and the reactions of Pony King and Li Rongfa were also reasonable.
Because of this, Meng Zitao and Zhu Zhongshi's "cooperation" also has a few more eyes.
"There are more people who hate me, but they are just kings and losers. Zhu Zhongshi didn't care about Meng Zitao's attitude, he continued: "My people and I broke out of the encirclement, what happened after that, whether they killed that Yonghe or not, I don't know. ”
Meng Zitao said: "In other words, they are likely to have entered the palace now?"
Zhu Zhongshi shook his head: "Don't think that the palace is so easy to enter, the Dragon King Seal is still in your hands, they can only rely on violence if they want to enter, but violent means are not so simple to use, so I think there is a possibility of ** points, they have not entered the palace yet." Of course, without further ado, we'd better get off as soon as possible. ”
Meng Zitao agreed, and then arranged for both Qi and Professor Qiu to stay, because it was too dangerous, and he didn't want to take too many risks. In addition, the army also stayed behind to protect them.
Although Professor Qi was unhappy in every way, he could only agree to Meng Zitao's proposal in the end, and as for Professor Qiu, although he wanted to see Yonghe's appearance, he also knew the priority of the matter, so he did not say anything against it.
Meng Zitao brought three security guards this time, although their ability is not as good as that of the army, but against ordinary people, they are still handy.
With Zhu Zhongshi's guidance, the next journey was indeed safer and easier, and they came to the sign of the royal palace on the map.
Far away, Meng Zitao could smell a strong smell of blood, and then look, the human corpse and the ape corpse were lying on the ground, and the scene was extremely terrifying.
The most amazing thing for Meng Zitao was a suspected Yonghe corpse lying on the ground, Meng Zitao walked over to check, it did look like Yonghe, as for the cause of death, it was killed by a fatal explosion.
In addition, some of its organs have been artificially dug up, leaving only an empty shell. It is not difficult for Meng Zitao to understand this, and what he is thinking about now is, why is there more than one kind of alien beast here, where did these alien beasts come from? If the people of the Elite Kingdom did live here, what kind of relationship did they have with these alien beasts?
These are all mysteries to Mencius.
Without thinking too much, Meng Zitao looked around, but he didn't see the figures of the Pony King and Li Rongfa, and the door of a three-story stone house not far away was also closed.
The overall area of that stone house is estimated to be two or three hundred square meters, and if it weren't for the fact that there were no decent buildings around, I would definitely not think that this would be a royal palace.
Meng Zitao thought it was a little strange why the people of the Pony King and Li Rongfa were gone, could it be that they had entered the palace? But they didn't close the door again, or did they close the door again because they wanted to prevent others...... 2k reading web
