161 And they departed toward the north
Liu Xuan now felt more and more that there were people behind the zombies who were manipulating, and as far as the eye could see, countless skeletons were running towards the north.
From here to the Beth Empire in the north, the road is long, and at the current speed of the zombies, it will take two months to ride horses day and night.
Of course Liu Xuan wouldn't think about riding those war horses that were rotten to maggots, walking on the road, you could see countless flesh and decaying substances scattered on the earth, although Liu Xuan couldn't feel the sense of smell anymore, but he still remembered what a disgusting smell it was.
He wasn't that positive, and he didn't want to be so unprepared to rot along the way.
In order to protect his and Liu Meng's bodies, Liu Xuan found his former imperial seal from the palace, and then went to the ice warehouse to take out a large amount of ice cubes and cut them into countless small pieces, and then wrapped them in a quilt on the car, so as to ensure that the ice cubes would not melt quickly.
Although Liu Xuan did not study well during his lifetime, he was also a serious science student, and he remembered the second law of thermodynamics.
"Heat can be spontaneously transferred from a hot object to a colder object, but it is not possible to spontaneously transfer from a low temperature object to a hot object."
The quilt just has the effect of blocking conduction and isolating the high temperature of the outside world, so that Liu Xuan can keep the ice cubes for a long time.
Liu Xuan carefully wrapped the quilt in all the places on the royal bowl that might hurt his body, this carriage is more than a dozen square meters, enough for him and Liu Meng to use, and they don't need to bring food, except for Liu Xuan's mental fatigue and need to rest for a while, basically don't worry about anything else.
In the choice of livestock to pull the cart, it took Liu Xuan a lot of effort, the rotten war horse is not good, the skeleton war horse is running too fast, it must be very bumpy along the way, Liu Xuan in the entire nine capitals, finally picked two batches of big buffaloes with only skeletons left, they are very obedient, seem to have spirituality, and absolutely obey the instinctive will of the high-level corpse soldiers.
After putting on the carriage, Liu Xuan took Liu Meng to the royal belt and set off leisurely, seeing such a slow ox cart, as long as it was heading north, Liu Meng finally settled down.
This oxcart is unusually eye-catching among all the zombie armies, but those corpse soldiers don't care about them at all, for them, they are all independent individuals, without autonomous consciousness, and when they see other 'kind', they are regarded as air-like existences.
The two buffaloes with only skeletons left walked very slowly, but they were very steady, and they didn't need to rest, and at this rate, it was estimated that it would take a year or two to reach the distant Beth Empire.
However, this is also the effect that Liu Xuan needs, compared to the zombies running constantly on the road, and the skeletons with broken hands and feet, I don't know how many times faster.
And those corpse soldiers with war horses are fast horses, traveling 800 miles a day, and running frantically towards the north, this efficiency is estimated to be more than a month to get to Bes.
Simply, his ox cart didn't need to be commanded, let alone rest and eat, along the way, Liu Xuan and Liu Meng lay down in a comfortable royal bowl, looking at all kinds of skeletons and zombies around them, and couldn't help but laugh in their hearts.
He had no doubt that all these zombies could suddenly move towards the north like this, and there must be a more powerful creature behind them, and in any world, any species, there will always be a powerful existence ruling over their kind, and humans are no exception.
However, this is ineffective for the current Liu Xuan, but he can't stay, and there is a fourth sister to take care of, if Liu Xuan forcibly ties her up in Jiuyou, it is estimated that Liu Meng will not be able to get rid of that powerful subconscious even if he harms himself.
"Open your mouth." On the royal bowl, Liu Xuan took out a small piece of ice, cut it in half, looked at the indifferent Liu Meng beside him, and said in a low voice.
Liu Meng's face was expressionless, but she didn't resist at all, and when the ice cube reached her mouth, she instinctively opened her mouth and slid it into her throat.
This is a measure to keep the body from being steamed dry, Liu Xuan in order to maintain the original appearance, it can be said that he has done everything, studied many methods, and observed the changes of other corpse soldiers every day, even those corpses with intact bodies, without knowing how to replenish water, have already become dry corpses.
For this reason, Liu Xuan rarely goes to the sun, insists on taking a bath every day, and it becomes extremely difficult to drink water, so he can only use ice cubes to replenish water.
After saying goodbye to Hongyue, Liu Xuan suddenly felt the loneliness of this world, he was like living in a world where he was alone, surrounded by brainless and unconscious skeletons coming and going, and he was the only one who was a 'normal' creature.
He hadn't found a single corpse soldier to speak, and after turning into rotting skeletons, they were even less likely to speak.
After a few months, Liu Xuan has no chance to speak except for sleeping every day, and the only remaining opportunity to speak is to feed the fourth sister on the side to eat ice cubes.
Fortunately, for so many months, the only one who can be with him is his fourth sister, which makes Liu Xuan feel infinitely grateful and guilty.
He didn't know what kind of affection Liu Meng had at the beginning, and he was willing to live and die with him, but he knew that even if Liu Meng became what he is now, he would have no regrets, every time he thought of it, Liu Xuan would laugh at himself in his heart, and he even felt that he was so irresponsible and implicated Liu Meng.
Moreover, Liu Meng's dependence on Liu Xuan is beyond his imagination, and has almost formed an instinct, even if she herself doesn't realize it, Liu Xuan has never seriously cared about it before her death, but after becoming a corpse soldier, all of Liu Meng's actions have been proven.
After Liu Meng became a corpse soldier, he was also the only one among all the corpse soldiers who 'knew' him to him, which made Liu Xuan's heart moved, but also more cordial.
Taking care of Liu Meng has become Liu Xuan's mission-like existence, and he silently swore in his heart that as long as he still exists for a day, he will never let Liu Meng have any accidents.
Two months later, Liu Xuan and the others left the Nine Shadows Realm in the Imperial Palace, and the whole world, as imagined, was already in shambles, all they saw were rotten flesh and white bones, but there was no living thing.
The skeleton zombies of the entire continent kept pouring towards the north, some of them were slow, some were fast, Liu Xuan was so slow that it took two months to get out of the Nine Shadows, but the zombies behind were still endless.
Half a year later, Liu Xuan and the others passed through Beiyin, passed through Dameng, and then arrived at the Rama Desert.
The birds in the sky ate the rotting flesh on the ground, and they were infected and died, although Liu Xuan couldn't feel the world, but it was enough to imagine that this world was deeply wailing. (To be continued.) )
