Chapter 21: The Dead City

The color of the sky was miserable white, like the skin of a dead man, disgusting. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Under the miserable white sky, there is a lifeless Gusu City, the city is surprisingly quiet, Long Kui walks in the city, and he doesn't feel a trace of life.

After he separated from Wu Xiaofei, he rushed straight to Gusu City, and the vegetation along the way became more and more sparse and withered, and Long Kui couldn't help but have an ominous premonition when he saw it.

Sure enough, when he walked into Gusu City, Long Kui smelled a strong stench mixed with blood and decay in the air in the city.

It seems to be an empty city.

The atmosphere in the city was very strange, let alone a living person, not even a living thing could be seen. It seems that the inhabitants of the city may have taken refuge in the city to escape the war, but why did the occupiers abandon the city after capturing the city and did not send a single soldier to garrison it? Moreover, when he was in Shanghai, he did not hear the news of the war between the city of Gusu and which warlord was fighting not far away, where did this army that destroyed the huge city of Gusu come from out of thin air?

Long Kui had a bag of gold coins hanging from his waist, about a thousand, which he had taken out of the Emerald Casino before it burned down the city. He originally thought about bringing more gold coins, so that he didn't have to worry about money when he arrived in Gusu City, but looking at the current miserable situation in Gusu City, he had nowhere to spend this money.

Long Kui took the dead gold coins from his waist and threw them to the ground, leaned over to open the necklace of the bag, took out more than a hundred gold coins from it and put them in the four pockets on his pants, and when he got up, he found that the soil of Gusu City was actually red.

Long Kui grabbed a handful and sniffed it, the strong smell of blood.

He looked around, and saw that the ground in the city was red.

The land of Gusu City was soaked in blood.

It seems that this is not only an empty city, but also a dead city.

Long Kui looked at the river in the city, and sure enough, it was also bright red, and he really didn't know whether it was river water or blood water flowing in the river.

In addition to the Jiangnan-style buildings on both sides of the river, there are also many Buddhist halls.

These halls are now in ruins like other buildings, but if you look closely, you can vaguely imagine the grandeur and grandeur of the temple when it was intact.

Long Kui walked into a Buddhist hall and found that the smell of blood in the air in this pure place of Buddhism was even heavier than outside, and he snorted disdainfully.

"Crunch...... Crunch......"

There seems to be someone inside.

Long Kui took a few more steps inside and found a man kneeling under the Buddha statue with his head bowed.

"Crunch...... Crunch......"

The man seemed to be eating something, and the light was too dim to see clearly.

Long Kui approached and patted the man on the shoulder, and the man turned his head suddenly, and his terrifying appearance frightened Long Kui and quickly withdrew his hand.

The man's skin was as white as a dead man's, his fanged mouth and claw-like hands were covered with rotten rotten flesh, and it was as terrifying as a demon crawling out of hell.

At this time, Long Kui also saw clearly that what the evil ghost was eating was actually a dead man lying on the ground.

When the demon saw the living thing, he left the dead body on the ground and pounced on Long Kui, who dodged to the right and dodged the attack, and just as he wanted to take the knife and fight back, the evil ghost actually flew in front of him again.

Long Kui didn't have time to dodge and hurriedly leaned back, the pounced evil ghost almost passed by him, Long Kui saw the opportunity to take off the machete behind his back and slashed it, cutting off the evil ghost in mid-air.

The demon that had been cut in half struggled on the ground for a while, and then stopped moving.

Long Kui approached and checked, and died.

What is this thing?

Long Kui, who was full of doubts, walked out of the Buddha hall and was hungry.

No matter what, these have nothing to do with me, first find a place to fill your stomach, and then go to the city to find the Hanshan Temple.

Long Kui saw that there was the commercial area of Gusu City in front of him, so he hurriedly walked over, wanting to find a supermarket there to find something to eat.

"Help, don't eat me!"

A cry for help reached Long Kui's ears, and Long Kui looked for the sound and saw a little girl about ten years old running desperately with a big mountaineering bag on her back, and a huge white monster was chasing after her.

It's none of my business, I'm here to look for clues in Gusu City.

Long Kui admonished himself.

The little girl suddenly fell to the ground, and the monster jumped high and threw herself at the little girl, who was about to die in the monster's mouth.

Damn it.

Long Kui rushed to the little girl and kicked the monster that pounced, and the little girl ran to the supermarket next to her and hid.

The monster kicked by Long Kui got up from the ground, shook its head, and slowly moved towards Long Kui with its teeth bared.

Long Kui saw that the monster was as large and strong as a brown bear, with all fours on the ground, its hind limbs more developed than its forelimbs, and a large mouth full of fangs on its human-like skull.

The monster observed Long Kui for a moment, and finally couldn't bear the ferocity anymore and rushed towards Long Kui fiercely.

Long Kui waited for the monster to get close to him, took off the machete and slashed at the monster's head, who knew that the monster actually stood up on its hind legs, dodged Long Kui's attack, and grabbed Long Kui's heart with one claw.

Long Kui hurriedly used the machete to hold one of the monster's claws, and at this time, the monster's other claw also swung towards Long Kui.

Long Kui's five fingers into claws grabbed the claw wrist of the monster's claw, the monster hurriedly opened his blood basin and bit Long Kui's head, Long Kui grabbed the monster's claw and wrist arm and threw the monster to the ground with a force over the shoulder, and turned around and split the monster's head under the machete.

After Long Kui killed the monster, he looked around, and saw that the little girl she rescued was desperately filling the hiking bag with food in the supermarket where she was hiding, as if she didn't care about the safety of the life-saving benefactor Long Kui, and couldn't help but feel a burst of fire in her heart.

As soon as Long Kui got up and turned around, a silver light flew towards his face, Long Kui hurriedly turned his head to avoid it, and the silver light was like a long eye and slashed at his neck horizontally, Long Kui was furious and held the knife in his backhand to block the silver light, and after a loud bang, the silver light was blocked by Long Kui.

Long Kui fixed his eyes and saw that the real body of this silver light was actually a silver shining spear head, Long Kui had not seen the appearance of the person who used the spear, this spear head turned into a silver light again and spun around out of thin air and stabbed Long Kui in the face, this time the stabbing force was much greater than last time.

Good and fast marksmanship.

Long Kui secretly praised, knowing that he couldn't hold it up, he hurriedly stretched the handle of the machete in his hand and transformed it into a glaive knife, his arms were filled with strange power, and he held the handle of the knife with a blade to block the silver light, only to hear the loud noise even worse, and the violent collision of the two weapons burst out dazzling sparks, which made Long Kuizhen's arms numb, and the person who made the gun was also shocked to take a few steps back.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Long Kui finally saw the appearance of the person who used the gun.

I saw that this person had a round size, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a strong body, and only wore a black cross-strap vest on his shirt, revealing two muscular arms.

The handle of the gun made by this man was pitch black, and the head of the spear was silvery, and the shape of the gun alone showed that it was an extremely heavy iron gun.

"You bad guy, I'm going to destroy you on behalf of the people!"

Long Kui also wanted to take a closer look at the iron spear used by this person, but after this person said a clueless word, he rushed over with an iron spear, only to see that this person's spear head turned into several silver light moves to stab Long Kui's vital point, Long Kui had no choice but to wield the glaive knife to resist, the speed of these spear heads turned into silver light is staggering, and each silver light is attached to the power of a thousand catties, and the confrontation with it can really make Long Kui suffer.

Long Kui knew that this made the strange power of the spearman not inferior to his own, and he was just asking for hardship from it, and only skill-based weapons could defeat the enemy. Thinking of this, Long Kui was about to transform the glaive knife in his hand again, but at this time, a delicate cry reached Long Kui's ears:

"Yue Laosan, assistant, he is not a bad person. ”

It is strange to say, this made Yue Laosan of the iron spear really obedient, and when he heard this, he immediately stopped the attack and glared at Long Kui in front of him.

Long Kui turned his head to see that the person who made Yue Laosan's words obey was actually the little girl he had just saved, and the little girl had finished searching from the supermarket at this time, and walked out with a bulging mountaineering bag on her back.

"You ......" Long Kui just wanted to reprimand the little girl for her ingratitude, but was preempted by the other party:

"Hello Uncle Beard, my name is Aihua, I asked Yue Laosan to spare your life, you don't have to thank me, it's a trivial matter. But as the saying goes, the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring, and if you really don't thank me, I can't say it, so ...... If you do me a small favor, you will be entitled to repay the favor. As for what's busy...... I'll treat you to a meal first, let's talk while eating, okay~"

Aihua blinked at Long Kui with two cute eyes, and her look full of anticipation made ordinary people unbearable to refuse.

"I refuse. "Long Kui proved with practical actions that he is by no means an extraordinary person.

"Happy ...... Yue Laosan!" Aihua sent out a grievance for help, Yue Laosan glared at the sound and walked to Long Kui, and there was only a finger distance between the two faces:

"You bad guy, you made the lovely Aihua cry, you turned your back on the masses, you are the enemy of the people, you apologize to Aihua immediately, otherwise I will destroy you on behalf of the people!"

“…… You fool, go to the death. Not to be outdone, Long Kui glared back at Yue Laosan, and the two of them were about to make a move again, when a roar of a beast came from not far away.

“…… It's a patrol of evil ghosts!Don't stare there, come with me!" Aihua said as she grabbed a big hand from Long Kui and Yue Laosan with her two small hands, and led them to the depths of the business district of Gusu City.

Long Kui couldn't explain why a ten-year-old girl could take him away by holding his hand, so he had to comfort himself that although this little girl named Aihua was cute and had a good voice, he and she went with her to avoid evil spirits and fill her stomach by the way, not for any other reason.
