Chapter 49: News of the Disaster
Fallen Leaf City, refugee camp.
Su Qiran followed Chu Qiu as he walked deeper into the camp while listening to him tell about the disaster that happened in Hanzhu City.
“... Dean Xiao stayed for his own persistence to face the tide of the undead... As for Lu Hai, we only found out that guy had stayed after escaping from Hanzhu City, the head of the Lu family almost died of anger, and the younger generation of their family was able to provoke the two brothers Lu Hai and Lu Guan, and Lu Guan happened to go to the Eternal Forest before the disaster... It is estimated that there is more luck and less luck, and Lu Hai also stayed to die like a stunned young man..."Chu Qiu sighed as he spoke, but in the end, there was a slight trace of respect on his face, he was in his youth, he also wanted to die like a man like Lu Hai, instead of running away in a gray way... But he's carrying too much on his back... He wants to restore the declining Chu family to its glory!
"That disciple of mine, what about Su Xiaoxiao?" Su Qiran's face was not very good-looking.
"Lu Guan has formed a mercenary group... Su Xiaoxiao is one of the members of the group... They traveled to the Eternal Forest the day before the disaster... It is estimated that the boundless undead poured out of the Eternal Forest..."
Xingnuo on the side had already listened to the more the two of them had talked before, the more wrong it became, her voice trembled a little, and she asked, "Eternal Forest, what about my family..."
"What is this?" Because Xingnuo was still in a disguised state at this time, Chu Qiu naturally didn't know that she was an elf.
Su Qiran thought for a while, "Her identity is a little sensitive. ”
Chu Qiu didn't continue to ask in the afternoon, anyway, he wasn't very interested in who Xingnuo was.
After understanding the basic situation, Su Qiran said goodbye to Chu Qiu, and then pulled Xingnuo out of the refugee camp and sat down in a small shop on the street.
"Disaster erupts from the Eternal Forest... Your hometown should be the hardest hit by the disaster, and while it's a bit cruel to say that, I hope you prepare for the worst. ”
Xingnuo nodded reluctantly.
Looking at Xingnuo, who obviously didn't listen to his words, Su Qiran also sighed in his heart, he was also worried about the safety of Xiaoxiao and Xiaotong, but now this situation...
After Su Qiran knew the scale of the undead tide, he suddenly felt powerless in his heart, he knew that he couldn't go through this endless sea of the undead to find Xiao Tong and Xiao Xiao's news...
Although Xiaoxiao was missing in the Eternal Forest, Su Qiran didn't think that Xiaoxiao had no chance of surviving. He remembered that he had given his [Watching Nature] to Xiaoxiao, and although the bracelet looked ordinary, it was a rare treasure...
[Watching Nature] Although the defense power of light is between a high-level spiritual weapon and a holy weapon, the purification effect and breath concealment effect attached to it... It's all good to use when you're dying, and with Qin Xiaotong following, Su Xiaoxiao shouldn't be in too much danger...
I hope so... Although he was still very worried in his heart, Su Qiran could only deceive himself like this, he couldn't imagine what it would be like to find the bodies of Su Xiaoxiao and Qin Xiaotong when he arrived in the Eternal Forest, those two people were one of the very few people he could trust now.
"I want to go back and see. Xingnuo suddenly spoke, her face was no longer the hippie smile of the past, and she was also devoid of that positive and optimistic mood, her big eyes were now slightly red, and she looked pitiful.
"I don't believe anything is going to happen to my family. My father was the greatest elven emperor... The City of Life is also guarded by the most powerful ranger troops... I don't believe it..."Speaking of which, Xingnuo suddenly cried quietly, and she suddenly remembered that before she left, her father looked at her, expecting but with sadness...
"Alright, alright, stop crying. Su Qiran suddenly hugged Xingnuo from behind and let her little head rest on her chest, "The Elven Empire is the strongest country in the world, your hometown and your family will definitely be fine, I swear, I will take you back to the Eternal Forest." ”
“... You promise?" Xingnuo suddenly didn't dare to look at Su Qiran's eyes.
"I promise, I'm a coward who doesn't keep my promises, but I'll do my best to help you this time. Su Qiran said softly.
"Hmm..." Xingnuo buried his face in Su Qiran's arms, as if he was unwilling to raise his head again.
Su Qiran fell into deep thought, he had to cross the boundless sea of undead like a way... You have to find a way to cover your tracks at all times, otherwise breaking into the boundless sea of the dead is pure death.

Deciduous Leaf City, the City Lord's Mansion.
Jian Ling Tian returned here again, originally the others had already passed through Xingzhu Avenue and wanted to return to Xingzhu City, but on the way, they ran into the support troops of the Eastern Legion... After learning the news, Jian Ling Tian hurried to Fallen Leaf City again.
At this time, a meeting was being held in the hall of the City Lord's Mansion to discuss how to deal with the undead tide that had already been called, and Jian Ling Tian was the youngest of this group, and his brows were tightly locked.
Misguided. I didn't expect the prophesied great upheaval to break out in advance, and it was in this form. Prior to this, Jian Ling Tian had always thought that it would be a large-scale attack caused by the Dark Palace, but at this time, this undead tide had indeed exceeded his expectations. And I have a vague hunch that this turmoil is not a simple riot of undead creatures... So many undead creatures appear out of thin air... Where they come from is a big question... If you can't figure out why... If such an undead tide disaster breaks out from within Star Bamboo City... The consequences are unimaginable!
Moreover, news has been received from the Cloud Empire and the Federation that the places bordering the Cloud Empire, the Federation and the Eternal Forest are also being attacked by undead creatures... The scale is almost as big as the Star Bamboo Empire's side!
There's no news from countries further afield, but presumably the situation won't be much better... In just a few days, vast swathes of the region have been transformed into purgatory on earth...
And on the scale of this undead tide... Jian Ling Tian didn't think that this Fallen Leaf City could be defended at all, there was no terrain danger here, and the undead tide could even bypass this place to go to the next city... The topic of discussion at the meeting now is that the defense line of the level Fallen Leaf City will retreat to Frostleaf City, with Frostleaf City as the main position, combined with the terrain near Frostleaf City to form a defensive fortress... But this choice undoubtedly gave away half of the southern realm behind Fallen Leaf City to the undead, and tens of millions of people to the undead as rations...
"Retreat to Frost Leaf City, maintain the power of immortality, and wait for reinforcements from the Western Realm and the Imperial Capital, so that we can be fully sure of fighting against the undead tide, and we can even blow the horn of counterattack in one breath..."
"No, half of the southern border, tens of millions of people... You can't bear to let them become food for the undead, and you can really turn this southern realm into a hell on earth? This is undoubtedly a huge blow to our morale, and we must not retreat this time, and we must fight with all our might!"
Looking at the conference table, the main battle faction and the retreat faction were arguing hotly, Jian Ling Tian had a headache, and he regretted coming to this meeting a little.
