10. Hongmen Banquet
The starlight is around the silk threads of different colors, all shining, like spider silk dropped by God, light and soft and delicate. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
If you can see the Milky Way, that's probably it, everything is beautiful.
The trajectory of the zombie ability in front of him gradually faded, but the arc that circled around him was the most complex and dense.
I couldn't see everyone's face clearly, and I could only tell who it was by the blurred figure, a strange slim robe with black hair, it was a water di.
Her silk thread did not wrap around her body, but gathered on her fingers, connected with a dozen flying knives that flew out, the fiery red silk thread was hot, surrounded by fragmentary sparks, and at this moment she was using various moves in the air, like a flying fire butterfly.
Is this an ability?
Pretty doesn't look like words......
New abilities? It's called eye measurement, measuring the trajectory of the ability.
Xu Zhe tried to keep his eyes open, the rapid flow of physical energy, coupled with the brain injury, finally closed his eyes and repaired various wounds.
When I opened my eyes again, the world was the same again, and the Adepts were still fighting the last battle against the zombie.
Xu Zhe stepped forward and threw out the air blade to block the zombie's attack on Shui Di, the zombie in front of him was ugly but the most real.
Open the measuring eye, control the crescent moon to follow the trajectory of the zombie's ability, and walk in the gap between the two ability threads, but before it succeeded, it was bounced away by the zombie.
Gradually retreat, leaving the battle space to other abilities, and watching the intricate interweaving of abilities may require more refined operations.
Mobilizing the remaining abilities, silver lines floated on his body, compressing the abilities on his five fingers, becoming thinner and sharper, and the five fingers stabbed towards the zombie in a strange pose.
Carefully controlling the abilities in the distance bypassing the silk threads, a bit like the maze diagram he played when he was a child, it was still far away from the body of the zombie, but Xu Zhe's right hand couldn't stop shaking, and the extremely refined operation required high-intensity concentration and willpower.
A little more, yes, a little more and you'll be there......
The zombies are constantly moving, and Xu Zhe is constantly controlling the direction and distance of the ability, and his five fingers are twisted into various postures, twitching slightly.
Finally, when he touched a thin and soft film, Xu Zhe knew that he had arrived, and pierced his ability in front of the zombie through the barrier of spiritual power.
Now, just lightly puncture the barrier.
The five fingers were closed, a forward stabbing posture was issued, and the zombie who was still fighting with the supernatural suddenly froze, a gradually expanding blood mouth on the brain, and the slender nerve connection was violently interrupted, and the supernatural silk threads around the zombie dissipated instantly, and only the crystal nucleus in the brain was as bright as day.
Before he died, the zombies stared at Xu Zhe's direction......
Smiling at the pale face, Xu Zhe stood up tremblingly, his ability was empty, his body couldn't stop weakening, and a few blood stains were still flowing between his fingers.
"Congratulations, you succeeded, there are actually 9 people left...... "Before everyone could rob the zombie crystal nucleus, the city walls suddenly opened, and Lei Yanxiu looked at the faint and said below.
Shui Di helped Xu Zhe and looked at Lei Yanxiu who was standing above the city wall, it was a pair of dark eyes, without any emotion, even if he was a killer, he couldn't stand this kind of gaze that didn't treat people as living creatures, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered on the shelf.
The city gate opened, and two rows of soldiers walked out neatly, not wearing the dark green army uniforms of the past, but black uniforms, equipped with weapons that were very different from before.
Under the guidance of the soldiers, Xu Zhe and the others walked into the base, and they smelled a smell of blood no less than outside the city wall, which seemed to be much less than the usual people, but the soldiers on the street had many new faces, which felt a little strange.
It's still the previous conference room, but this time Lei Yanxiu didn't come, the man with the panda mask who came, that was the person he met when he handed in the A-level Zhu Shenshi mission before.
"The little ones are all good! I didn't die when I met close to the S-class zombies, tsk...... If I don't know, I'll be weak!" Rhys was already very stout and loud, and his voice was even more deafening when he spoke through the microphone.
The people below saw that it was not Lei Yanxiu, and they gradually became enthusiastic, talking about the attack on the zombies just now, of course, the most talked about task was Xu Zhe and the other team of brothers and sisters.
Talking about Xu Zhe is due to his last fatal blow to the zombies, as for the brother and sister, the two of them have exactly the same attacks and abilities, and the cooperation is simply seamless, except for the ability deficit, there is no injury in the whole process.
"Okay, okay, we all know that you are fortunate this time, so the leader has decided that you will directly get the command position of the base military department, and tomorrow as the leader's personal escort to attend the dinner of the three major families of the base. After Rees finished speaking, without waiting for everyone's reaction, he wiped oil on the soles of his feet and left, leaving behind the deputy team who had to silently explain to the crowd.
The R base was originally the capital of the country before the end of the world, and there were countless officers, but there were only three families that were really strong families in the last days, namely: the Lei family, the Du family, and the Liu family. Among them, Lei Yanxiu, as the leader of the base, has invisibly increased the power of the Lei family, in order not to let the family dominate, the Du and Liu families have been looking for various ways to unite in recent years.
After Xu Zhe said goodbye to Shuidi, he contacted Du Xiaoyue, but Du Xiaoyue said that she didn't know anything, even the zombie attack this time.
Is it really too well protected and I don't know anything? Or is there something else going on......
Seeing that all the people in public places in the base had changed their faces, Xu Zhe had even more doubts in his heart.
Subsequently, Xu Zhe contacted Du Jia again, the other party seemed to be extremely nervous, and when Xu Zhe opened his mouth to speak, he sighed again, relaxed, and said decadently that he had been removed from his post and was just an ordinary ability, and then hung up the phone.
After thinking about it for a long time and not figuring it out, Xu Zhe gave up directly, and after replenishing his physical strength, he began to devour the crystal nucleus, and after three months of life in the martial arts, the saturation period passed early, and Xu Zhe was ready to start strengthening the training of the ability.
Feeling the strong ability in his body, he sighed, and sure enough, he was still a lot worse than the S-level, opened the curtains of the room, and outside the window was the artificial lake of the base, and there was a pair of greasy couples on the small chairs next to the lake, shaking his head, Xu Zhe closed the window directly and fell asleep.
At noon the next day, Xu Zhe was woken up by a knock on the door, and after a night of recovery, Xu Zhe was in good spirits, and after lazily washing up and tidying himself up, Xu Zhe opened the door.
The two soldiers in black uniforms stood like wood, and after giving Xu Zhe one, they walked away.
When I opened it, there were only three words written on the paper, "Hongmen Banquet".
So is this the purpose of the dinner party in the evening? It's just who is the banquet? Who is the host? The soldiers in black uniforms are Lei Yanxiu's subordinates, so tonight will be a fuse, a precursor to a major change of blood in the base, will Lei Yanxiu kill the Du family, the Liu family, or both......
But what role do you play? The leader's bodyguard?
……
At night, the hall is brightly lit, singing and laughing, and more than a dozen white jade tables are placed on plates of exquisite food, dressed in aristocratic and elegant costumes, and the members of the three major families talk in harmony.
Xu Zhe stood dumbfounded, wearing the same black uniform as an ordinary soldier, and the large felt hat on his face covered most of his face, leaving only a pale jaw.
The water dick beside her had been moving restlessly, because the hour-long standing posture had made her extremely bored and irritable.
Xu Zhe didn't understand Lei Yanxiu's thoughts, why did he arrange a few high-level abilities to mix in with ordinary soldiers, and use them for a sneak attack for a while? The fool knows that the soldiers here are all his people, and he will definitely be on guard.
Don't...... A traitor appeared?
Lei Yanxiu leaned back on the sofa, and in the dim room, only the voice of the kneeling soldier spoke, and the woman next to the sofa was motionless, and her shaking eyes proved that she was still alive.
"So, they're ready to rebel?" The shadow hit the side of Lei Yanxiu's face, extremely sharp.
"Not all, mainly the elders of the Du and Liu families, the head of the Du family doesn't seem to know, the head of the Liu family, Liu Xiangyuan, disappeared seven days ago, and now everything in the Liu family is managed by the eldest son Liu Tianhao, but the person in charge is the elder of the Liu family. The kneeling soldier was also wearing a panda mask, and his body was very similar to the previous Rise, but his voice was indeed extremely clear and calm.
"Those old guys always want to do something, saying it's research, but it's better to create monsters against me, and the S-class zombies that day said they were weapons, but they were actually failures...... By the way, has the lab nest been found?"
"Found it, in D City, 900 kilometers away from the R base, there is a batch of high-level zombies newly developed by the Liu family. ”
"Hmph! Making zombies as bodyguards is really the style of those old guys. ”
"Chief, are we going to keep tracking?"
"No, starting tonight, it's time for us to show our knives. ”
"Yes"
Lei Yanxiu's arrival made the lobby silent, but it was only for a while, and soon a beautiful woman with wine came to pour wine, Du Mingfeng, the head of the Du family, and Liu Tianhao, who temporarily replaced the head of the Liu family, began to greet Lei Yanxiu.
Suddenly, Du Mingfeng's wine glass was hit on the ground and smashed in half, and a stream of sparkling wine directly corroded a hole in the ground......
"It's a cup of poisoned wine!" I don't know who shouted in the crowd, and several guests were suddenly attacked inexplicably.
The crowd in the lobby began to go wild, and some of the small families invited by the three major families began to run towards the entrance of the lobby, only to find that the soldiers around them had already locked the door and shot weapons at them.
Xu Zhe immediately looked in the direction of Lei Yanxiu, and the other party was actually tied up! And he was lying on the ground without knowing life or death! The guards beside him seemed to be under control and couldn't move.
So what's going on!
Approaching the soldiers who wanted to attack, he released an air blade to solve it, and Xu Zhe pulled the water dizzy and quickly hid in the hidden place in the lobby.
"What's going on with this?" shouted Shui Di as he took off his hat.
Xu Zhe didn't speak, thinking back to everything Lei Yanxiu had said, as well as all the strange phenomena in the base, it was obvious that she and Shui Di were just involved in the infighting of the bigwigs in the base.
It's just that this infighting is far more complicated than I imagined.
opened the measuring eye, and sure enough, Lei Yanxiu and his guards were fine at all, and the surrounding ability trajectories were extremely large and vibrant.
This is the Hongmen banquet set up by the Du and Liu families for Lei Yanxiu! And Lei Yanxiu is just calculating! Not surprisingly, a large number of guards will soon appear and wash the two families in blood.
As for the soldiers in the lobby...... A strong smell of corrosion wafted in the air, it was not the original soldier, it was a zombie weapon that had been transformed by Du Liu's two levels!
And at this time, what is Xu Zhe, the bodyguard who has just become the leader, going to do?
"Shuidi, we're going to start slashing zombies......"
"What, how can there be zombies?" Shui Di was not as sensitive to air as Xu Zhe, so he didn't find any abnormalities in the soldiers.
"It's the soldiers. After Xu Zhe finished speaking, he ran to the front excitedly to cut the corpse.
After more than a dozen blades, there was no phenomenon of blood spurting, and the heavy uniforms were wrapped in rotting corpses.
After cutting hundreds of them, the door of the lobby was pushed open heavily, and rows of guards with weapons poured in, and the order in the lobby quickly stabilized.
Under the surprise of the two families, Lei Yanxiu stood up unharmed, and walked to a group of elders who were old but still wrapped in young skin, and his palms clapped, and the heavy heavenly thunder smashed the human head out of the circular hole, like a container containing brains.
The elder in front of him didn't know why he was still standing, his hand covered with scars used the long spoon handed by his subordinates to scoop up a piece of tissue in his skull, Lei Yanxiu stretched out his slender tongue and licked it intoxicatedly.
"Are you immortal? I want to try it too......" Lei Yanxiu's back gradually squirmed, his clothes were punctured, his muscles piled up higher and higher, and more than a dozen pairs of black horns stretched from his shoulders to the top of his head.
Xu Zhe on the side only felt that the alien appeared...... But he saw that the people around him were all worshiping Lei Yanxiu......
"S-class superpowers!" Shui Di was a little excited, this was the first time she had seen an S-class in her life.
It's so ugly......
It's a pity that no one cares about Xu Zhe's complaints.
Seeing the changes in Lei Yanxiu, the Du and Liu families also showed expressions of death.
The lobby was quickly cleaned up, and after Xu Zhe and Shui Di were praised by a group of guards, they sent a few crystal nuclei for the two to leave.
"Shui Di, will the S-class grow horns?"
"Not necessarily, I've heard others say that the S-class is a key to human self-mutation, and there will be some physical abnormalities according to the type of genes and abilities in one's blood. ”
"Don't you think horns are ugly?"
Shui Di looked at Xu Zhe strangely, and said suspiciously: "Are you a stranger, how can such a powerful symbol be ugly...... Besides, the chief's handsome face is handsome!"
……
Before going to bed, Xu Zhe was awakened by the sound of the communicator, and he pressed the answer button unhappily, and there was a low cry.
Xu Zhe...... Whining...... Woo...... My parents were captured by the elders of the clan, and they beat my mother, and my father secretly told me that it didn't matter...... However, they didn't come back today, and just now I heard the second brother say that they were going to make my father a zombie...... Whining...... I don't know what to do, I was locked up by them, and my second brother just beat me...... I'm so scared......" Du Xiaoyue said as she cried, which seemed extremely clear in the silent night.
"How do you want me to help you?" replied Xu Zhe expressionlessly.
"I ...... I don't know...... I'm just so scared, they don't want me anymore, and the second brother wasn't like this before, he has been beating me all the time lately......"
"So, do you want me to help you kill him?"
Du Xiaoyue was stunned, did you kill it? No, after all, it was the second brother, but if she heard it correctly at the door of the room just now, it was the second brother and the elders of the clan who joined forces to kidnap their parents......
"What the hell do you want me to do? ”
There was still no response from the other side, only low cries and sobs, and just as Xu Zhe was about to hang up, Du Xiaoyue replied.
"Take me out, Xu Zhe, I don't want to be with my second brother, I'm going to find my parents. ”
"No way. Xu Zhe replied in a low voice, hung up and unplugged the battery of the communicator.
Turning over, looking at the huge moon outside the window, the hazy clouds covered it, like a white veil on it, Xu Zhe closed his eyes a little irritably.
