206, the night of the shock
The northwest town at night is quiet and silent. Dum streetlights flickered over the blocks, and the fog had already filled the city. In addition to the barking of dogs in the distance, there was only a slight rustling of footsteps.
On the breezy street, a few people wandered slowly, they looked aimless and confused, their heads hanging down and shaking weakly, lost their souls.
"The first ones! Hold it! ”
A patrolling policeman got off his bicycle and pointed to a few people wandering around not far ahead, shouting, "Who told you to come out so late?" I don't know if there is martial law here? Hurry home! ”
When the men heard the voice, they paused slightly, staggered and continued to walk forward a few steps, and then slowly turned around and swayed towards the patrolman.
"Tell me about you! Hurry back. The patrol officer was a little impatient: "Otherwise, I will arrest you all in the detention center!" ”
This trick has always been good against those thugs who often wander around, but today, I don't know why, those few people who can't see their faces clearly don't care about such a threat at all, and their steps have quickened.
"What are you going to do!" Seeing that the situation was not good, the patrol officer took off his baton from his waist and pointed at those people: "Don't move!" ”
But his words didn't work at all in front of these people, and the breath of the living people stimulated the sense of smell of those guys, speeding up the speed under their feet several times, swaying but rushing towards the patrol officer.
The baton had no effect on them, and the rubber stick was clearly on the flesh but it was like hitting a hard wall.
The men defied the young policeman's resistance. Rushed up and began to tear this young man who had only been a patrol officer for a short time with his hands and teeth.
"Ahh Help me! ”
The screams spread very far through the empty streets and alleys, but there were no more concrete echoes other than empty echoes.
Gradually, the shouts faded until they all ceased, and the quiet street regained its former stability, and the few people who should have wandered were still wandering, except for the flashlights that were still whirling on the ground, and the bicycles that had fallen on the side of the road, and the scraps of flesh and blood beside them.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a stack of rune papers burst out of the corner and clung to the wandering group's bodies, followed by a soft thud. The rune paper that stuck to them suddenly burst into glowing spots in the night.
After a series of explosions like a cannon battle. Those who wandered began to burn violently. The flames quickly covered their whole bodies, covering them in all directions.
If a normal person is burned by such a flame, it is absolutely impossible to say that he is silent. But the wanderers didn't react at all, and stood straight in place after the burning. Until the flames burned themselves into a puddle of ashes.
After the blood had been burned clean. Ning Qingyuan jumped down from a nearby house. Wiping the sweat from his head, he said into the walkie-talkie: "I'm late, and the streets are full of ...... It's not clean. ”
"One counts as one. Strive to survive until dawn. ”
Tonight is the first night of the outbreak of darkness in this area, since nightfall, Siyuan has successively cleaned up several batches of resurrected dead people, most of these dead people are hovering at the door of their homes or nearby, in just one night, there are about ten or so people who have not been able to hold back the innocent people who opened the door to these deceased relatives have been harmed.
These things are also strange to say, they don't know where to hide during the day, and as soon as the sun goes down, they start to pile up. However, Siyuan found a strange thing, none of these things have very strong lethality, not to mention being able to tear apart living people, even walking is very clumsy, it is estimated that any able-bodied person can get rid of them lightly.
"Be careful, there are probably different varieties here."
In the afternoon, in fact, Ning Qingyuan had already gone to the tomb mountain to investigate, and also opened a few coffins, and found that the coffins in the entire mountain were basically empty, and the corpses were all gone, because the grave had no traces of being turned over at all, and the coffin had no signs of being pried, but the corpse that should have been lying there quietly had already disappeared.
This incident attracted the attention of all the leaders in the county, and they ignored Siyuan's opinion and sent additional manpower to patrol the streets.
Although Siyuan knew that this was their leader who didn't want to do anything, but in Siyuan's opinion, these futile things were all useless work, and there was no way to stop these resurrected people who were induced by them from wandering around.
For such a long time, Siyuan was really the first time to see so many dead people resurrected, and the number of them made people chill from the bottom of their hearts. You must know that even some of the most vicious lands know that there are three taboos in the magic world: the cessation of time, the resurrection of the dead, and the creation of living beings, these things have exceeded the limits of what this world can bear, and once there is a large-scale resurrection of the dead, it is very likely that it will completely wipe humanity off the earth.
Therefore, even the most power-hungry people would not use a spell like this that directly reverted the dead to their pre-living state, even the most powerful enemies Siyuan had ever seen.
And now there is such a large-scale outbreak like a plague, which has to be said to be the strong malice sprinkled by God after the destruction of the earth's leylines.
If it weren't for the fact that these things that should have been classified as dust were repelled by the leylines of other realms, I am afraid that within three years, the whole world would be occupied by these resurrected but only bloodthirsty and manic zombies. "How so?"
Chiruo also used her weak spell to destroy these strange things there, but she found that these things actually grew more and more over time, and they couldn't be completely cleaned up.
"Let's withdraw first, it's useless." Siyuan sighed in the walkie-talkie: "Just keep an eye on them and don't let these things break in." ”
Having said that, there are tens of thousands of people living in this county. It's quite unrealistic for every household to stare at it. Luckily, none of these things seem to have the same thinking skills as the guy who killed the ranger, and they don't have the same amazing destructive power as the one who killed the ranger, so even if there is a knock, most of the villagers won't rush to open the door for them.
"When I was in a foreign country, I often heard people talk about zombie legends, but I didn't expect that we also have such a thing." Qian Ruo quickly withdrew to an anti-theft door, took off his hat and sat at the base of the wall, looked at Siyuan who was lighting a cigarette and asked, "Even you can't do anything?" ”
"How can I go head-to-head with such a celestial phenomenon." Siyuan was also a little helpless: "Now I can only try to find out their eldest brother and try to find the source from that guy." ”
"Big brother? You mean kill the ranger? ”
"Hmm." Siyuan nodded: "Fortunately, I asked the head of the place to give an order to restrict going out, and now this place is basically blocked, and the troops are stationed three kilometers away." These things can't get out. ”
"But we haven't found that so-called big brother for a day today......" Qianruo sighed. stroked his hair with his hand: "What kind of big guy in winter clothes, there is no such thing at all." ”
This said, even Siyuan began to have some difficulties, and he tried to find it. But things are too hidden. It is estimated that he retains his IQ during his lifetime. Such a guy who crawls out of the grave with an IQ is probably not much better than a thing that comes out with brute force.
"I ...... Hungry ......"
Suddenly, there was a bang on the window. A pale face appeared outside the aluminum alloy glass, and Qianruo was frightened on the spot, but when she looked closely, she found that it was a girl who was at most four or five years old lying on the window, slapping the window with her hands.
"A child?" Qianruo was probably also blindsided at that time, and he was about to open the door in unison: "Come in, it's too dangerous outside." ”
But the moment she turned the doorknob, Siyuan suddenly appeared to block him from opening the door: "Don't open the door!" That's not people. ”
Qianruo was stunned, turned her head to look, and sure enough, she found that the girl was stretching out her tongue, which had become pale, was licking Qianruo over and over again through the glass, looking very terrifying and weird.
"You mean the kid out there...... Also? ”
"Well, it must be." Siyuan walked to the window, looked down at the little living dead who had become restless because someone was approaching, and put one hand on the window: "Seal the demon and disperse!" ”
There was a muffled sound of "pop", and the weird child who licked the glass was bounced out by Si Yuansheng, and the powerful spiritual power air cannon made this person's ghostly thing live and embedded on another wall, and his limbs were broken into many pieces, and then turned into black water and flowed down the wall.
She ...... You! When did you become so cruel! Qianruo raised her head and looked at Siyuan: "Even if she is not human...... You...... She's only a little bit old! ”
Siyuan turned his head to look at Qianruo, his expression became extremely cold, and then a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and when Qianruo was doing his duty, suddenly a hand pressed straight on her face, pressing her against the wall and unable to move.
"Thinking ...... Siyuan ...... You...... What are you doing...... It hurts ......."
Qianruo's feet shook helplessly, crying and begging. But Siyuan didn't intend to let her go at all, he just pinched her face harder, stepped forward and said in an extremely cruel tone: "Even I dare to deceive, I have a lot of courage!" ”
At this moment, the door was opened with a click, and then Ning Qingyuan and Qianruo flashed in so quickly. When they saw Siyuan pressing another Qianruo in his hand, they were both stunned.
"Hehe, it's worthy of the Imperial Guard."
Qianruo, who was pressed against the wall, had his head pinched into a persimmon by Siyuan, but his voice came without any obstacles: "I can actually see it, it's very good." ”
When Siyuan heard this voice, a trace of gloom suddenly flashed in his eyes: "You are the black shadow in the Forbidden City!" ”
"Clever."
Qianruo on the wall slowly began to melt, and the foul-smelling black water flowed down Siyuan's arm, and along with the collapse of his voice: "I'm afraid even Zuo Mingxuan didn't expect such a result, this will be a great harvest for me." ”
"Whoever you are, you're going to die."
"Okay, beg for death."
After speaking, the conjured Qianruo was burned by the demon fire in Siyuan's hand to the point that there was not even a slag left, and the real Qianruo and Ning Qingyuan behind him were stunned to see the scene that was happening here.
"That's ......" Qianruo pointed to herself: "Me? ”
"Fake." Siyuan shook his hand and extinguished the demon fire: "It seems that someone has also smelled the smell here." Come over here to find fault. ”
As for how Siyuan found out that Qianruo was fake, it was too simple. The imitator imitated the real in terms of voice, demeanor, and tone. But there is something called soul specialty, that is, something that is deeply engraved in the bones, and no matter how much others imitate it, they cannot imitate it.
For example, when the fake Qianruo asked Siyuan why she was so cruel just now, Siyuan knew that she was a fake at that time. Because the real Qianruo would never say such a thing. The person who pretended to be Qianruo only knew to pretend to be a woman as much as possible, but as everyone knows, Qianruo is a female man at all, and he will not be angry at all because Siyuan killed a dead corpse.
If you work backwards like this...... The mastermind behind the child corpse case is probably a man, not only a man but also a man who has never been in love, and more importantly, he loves to watch TV series, especially idol dramas. Only the women in idol dramas are so pretentious.
"Wait. Where do I look like a man! Qianruo rolled up his sleeves and pointed at Siyuan: "You make it clear for me!" ”
"We're looking at something a little bit different." Ning Qingyuan shook his head helplessly, looking at the shadow of a dead man floating outside the window: "How can there be so many today?" And why did that person imitate Chiruo just now? ”
"I don't know, but he says he's going to have a good harvest. I'm afraid it's also the one who picked up the ocean. This man is proficient in making ghosts and refining corpses. Living corpses that spawn naturally here. Far from man-made, comparable to ......"
Siyuan suddenly paused when he said this, and paused for a long time before he reacted: "He wants to find the strongest!" ”
"Same goal as we are?" Qianruo's eyes rolled: "So he wants to imitate me to get information?" So how do you know if I'm real or not? ”
"Oh?" Siyuan glanced at Qianruo stupidly: "From the moment you rolled up your sleeves, I was sure that you were my Qianruo." ”
"Xiu'en loves to die fast." Ning Qingyuan pouted beside him: "I don't know what happened to General Kaguya." ”
"Do you still think these things can hurt that zongzi king?" Qianruo pursed her lips: "I was thinking about this matter so many witnesses." How can you hide it. ”
Siyuan gritted his teeth, looked out the window and took a deep breath: "If it doesn't work, it has to be done, what about the boys who came with the special affairs team?" ”
"At the hotel."
"Gotta summon them all!"
In fact, he already knew that the special affairs team had sent someone to investigate, and in the afternoon he felt that there were always people staring at him, and the spiritual sense of the eye of the sky was not a joke, so he paid a little attention to the group of boys from the special affairs group hidden among the villagers, and he was too lazy to deal with them, but now there is obviously a shortage of manpower, and it is really impossible to deal with this matter without calling some people over.
But this matter still had to wait until dawn, and he really didn't bother to toss the guys wandering around outside, and he would not talk about it until tomorrow morning in this temporary house.
This night was actually very terrible, if Siyuan still used to think about it, he would definitely be so scared that he couldn't sleep. Outside the window, pale and distorted faces often appeared, beating against the glass, wailing and crying out for hunger. It is unknown why they are not able to break the window, but the truth is that they will not be able to break free from the thin layer of glass and rush into the house unless someone opens the door for them.
"yes, why can't you get in?"
Ning Qingyuan, who was sitting in the living room to keep vigil with Siyuan, also asked curiously: "Their strength is still quite good." ”
"Because the breath of the leylines has not been completely cut off, the house is the last shelter given here by this leyline. Probably a few days later...... The house won't work anymore. Siyuan looked at the bleak scenery outside the window: "My little mountain god always says that you don't know how much I like you." She says this to everyone because the earth beneath our feet loves us more than it does itself. So Qianruo always asks me why I work so hard, because ...... I also love the world I live in. People are very selfish, and I am actually for myself. I've always had this feeling, but it's especially strong after becoming an omamori, and this kind of love can be said to be desperate, you know? ”
"Yes." Ning Qingyuan leaned on the sofa and smiled gently: "Then will someone say that you are very pretending?" ”
"What am I pretending? What do I like and who is qualified to say about me? Siyuan smiled: "That's why I persevered." ”
"Good people will be rewarded."
"That's for the best." Siyuan suddenly lowered his head and laughed: "I don't ask for much. ”
After Ning Qingyuan saw Siyuan's appearance, he was suddenly stunned. She found that this kid was too much worse than when they first met two years ago, two years is not a long time, but it seems that what happened to him in this short time has exceeded what others have experienced in a lifetime. He really matured unconsciously, the big boy who was a little shy and shy at the beginning was long gone, and now he was a mature and attractive man in front of him.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I think ......" Ning Qingyuan pursed his lips and smiled: "You have grown up." ”
"Hey...... I've never been small. Siyuan smiled: "What did you say...... It's weird, it makes you look like you've watched me grow up. ”
"That's right, I watched you grow up." Ning Qingyuan straightened his hair: "Unconsciously, I found that I no longer have the ability to refuse what you say, and it seems that it has become a ...... for me to carry out what you say Habit. Other people feel the same way, don't you notice? ”
"Haha, it's probably a natural leader."
"Stinky beauty." Ning Qingyuan stood up: "I'll go upstairs to rest, and you can go to bed early." ”
"I haven't slept until tomorrow morning." After Siyuan finished speaking, he looked out the window again: "Tomorrow is the next day, we must find out that guy!" I'm sure finding it will be easy to solve, and that bastard can't be allowed to get it first. (To be continued......)
