Chapter 69: The Living

"What's going on out there, why are you so panicked?" The head of the Sifang River family pushed open the door of the banquet hall and asked the samurai who was guarding.

He has a long beard, white hair, and his eyes are oppressive from time to time.

He is the city lord of this golden post, and he is also the head of the Sifang Chuan family that has been passed down for generations, and the screams outside made him have to temporarily leave the banquet held for the distinguished guests of the Iron City, and come out to take a look.

As soon as I went out, I saw that the samurai who was supposed to be guarding the door had left his post without permission, and I was so angry that my beard was about to float.

As soon as he wanted to open his mouth and shout angrily, he saw the samurai guarding the door with a panicked face, walked a step and fell, ran and rolled around, and came to him.

Shortness of breath, dilated pupils, and constant shivering of the body.

"You idiot, what scared you like this, could it be that Kabane has attacked?"

The samurai looked at the head of the Sifang River family with a shocked expression, and just wanted to give a thumbs up to praise the city lord for his ability to predict the unknown, when the door behind the head of the Sifang River family was pushed open again.

"Father, I think he must have seen something terrible to get scared of this."

"Calamus, why did you come out, why don't you enjoy the banquet for a while." Seeing the Sifang Chuan iris coming out, the Sifang Chuan City Lord, who was still angry just now, looked at his eldest daughter with a kind face.

My family has a female newcomer, the eldest daughter of the Sifang Sichuan Chief, who often wears a capable and not rude clothes, and often assists the Sifang Sichuan City Lord in governing the Xianjin Station, and is his right-hand man.

"Father, I'm here to see if you need help." Sifang Chuan Iris smiled slightly, she didn't reveal that she just didn't like to stay in the banquet hall.

False smiles and flattery, except to make the guests of the Iron City a little happier, will not bring any benefit to the Golden Station, nor will it increase the monthly food supply of the Golden Station.

finally seized the opportunity, how could she go back, and how could she talk about enjoying the banquet.

"Let me ask my father about him, and besides, I'm curious why it's so 'lively' tonight." The calamus lifted the hem of her skirt and bowed down to plead.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you, and ask for my father."

For the request of his favorite daughter, the city lord of Sifang River has no reason not to agree.

However, looking at his more and more heroic daughter, he still couldn't stop feeling sad in his heart.

"It would be nice if it was a man."

He will eventually grow old, and there is no young man who can take charge of the Sifang Chuan family, and the Sifang Chuan Calamus is very much in line with his requirements, but unfortunately, no daughter's family has been able to take over the business of a family since ancient times, not to mention that when she was the head of the Sifang Chuan family, there was still a Xianjin Post that she needed to manage.

The complicated eyes of the city lord of Sifang Chuan, Sifang Chuan Calamus didn't see it, even if she did, I'm afraid she wouldn't contradict his father, and insisted on reversing his idea that women are inferior to men.

Only practice can produce true knowledge, and only by handing over the golden post to her, and then making some achievements to show the world, can it be proved that whether a person is capable does not lie in gender, but in that person.

"What's going on outside, don't panic, tell me the truth about what you see and hear, as long as it's the truth, no one will punish you." The calamus of the square river gently shook the samurai's hand and smiled.

Where can you bear kneeling in the samurai, this is the eldest lady.

With tears in his eyes, he constantly suppressed the fear in his heart, and finally defeated the fear with his heart, and shouted loudly:

"Kaba—"

"Kabane—here it is. Lady and Lord of the City, hurry up and run. If you don't run, it's too late. ”

Sifang River Castle Lord: !!

Don't take my joke seriously, I'll give you another chance to organize your language, speak well, and this time even if you say that those Diao people rebelled, I won't be angry.

Sifang Sichuan calamus: 0.0~

Kabane –

Regardless of whether what the samurai said was true or not, the name Kabane alone was enough to achieve the effect of stopping the cry of a child.

Living in this sad time, Kabane is the natural enemy of humanity, the hunter who treats humans as prey, and no matter how vigilant humans are, Kabane will always seize the moment when people relax and turn the situation around.

Man is the food of the Kabane and the most suitable source for the manufacture of the Kabane.

Suck the blood of the humans, transform them into the new Kabane, join the Kabane army, and lead the new Kabane in search of the new humans.

And so on, as long as there are human beings in this world, then there will never be a shortage of suppliers in Kabane.

The city lord of the Sifang River was furious, raised his palm and was about to slap it down, "Are you crazy, we have a moat and a strong and tall city wall, how can Kabane attack it." Seeing that I don't kill you madman today, I will give you the position of city lord. ”

Seeing that the sandbag's big slap was about to hit the samurai's head, Sifang Chuan Iris immediately stopped his father and persuaded him: "Father, don't do it." ”

"I can't let a deceitful guy stay in the Golden Pavilion." At this time, the city lord of Sifang Chuan had lost his mind, in fact, as long as he sent someone to take a look outside, he would definitely find that the usually quiet Xianjin Yi was already in a war-torn situation at this time.

But Kabane was the last thing he wanted to mention, and one of the many people who feared Kabane's presence the most.

As long as the person who is involved with Kabane has absolutely no good end, he should live in a safe place, as long as he does not starve to death, even if he survives, he can survive.

As long as you can survive and not fight Kabane for the rest of your life, what's wrong.

Because of fear, the lord of the Sifang River did not want to believe this fact, and fear made him cowardly, and in order to cover up his cowardice, he decided to kill this samurai who had left his post without permission, and then face the reality.

It's time to calm yourself down with someone else's blood.

But what he didn't expect was that his proud daughter stood in front of him.

Unlike the fury of the city lord of the Sifang River, the Irisa of the Sifang River took the lead in calming down, regardless of whether what the samurai said was true or not, they had to consider the worst-case scenario.

"Look me in the eye and tell me you're not lying." Fighting to keep her furious father from being timid, she summoned up the courage to ask the samurai for advice.

"It's true, Miss, I didn't deceive you and the city lord, I saw it with my own eyes, if you don't believe it, as long as you go out and climb the lookout, you can see countless Kabane scurrying around the city." The samurai felt that he was extremely wronged, but he had no better way, who called his status a world different from the two people in front of him.

"How is it possible, how on earth did they break through the moat and city walls to attack the Xianjin Station, this is impossible!" The city lord of Sifangchuan roared, he couldn't believe it, such a high city wall, such a deep moat, couldn't it stop those damn beasts.

"This is the day that will kill my clan!"

The samurai lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the sad city lord of the Sifang River, this man who almost killed himself just now, he didn't dare to touch his head.

said that he was very similar to proposing to let the city lord and the eldest lady run quickly, but at this time, it is better to remain silent for the time being, so as not to be used as a punching bag again, shouting and shouting and killing.

Sifang Chuan Irisa bit her lip, she was the same as the Sifang Chuan City Lord, she couldn't believe all this.

But what the samurai said is extremely easy to confirm, as long as you send someone to see if it is true or false, you can see it at a glance.

"Come to perch!" The Quartet Kawa iris shouted.

"The subordinates are here!"

The tall man hidden in the shadows walked out, his hand on the scabbard of the knife, and his face was murderous.

Jiuzhi Laiqi, a samurai who serves the Sifang Chuan family, is mainly responsible for the side guards of the Sifang Chuan calamus, and is well-known in the entire samurai circle with his outstanding swordsmanship, and vaguely has the title of the strongest samurai in the Jinyi Pavilion.

I saw him with a long face, half-kneeling in front of the Quartet Iris, bowing his head, and being silent.

"Come to Qi, go and officially decide whether what this gentleman who left his post without permission said is true, go back quickly, if it is really true......"

"The subordinates will definitely bring the truth." Jiuzhi Laiqi replied loudly, and then walked towards the outside of the mansion, in fact, he already had the answer in his heart, how is the security of Xianjinyi, he has the most right to speak. Although this post city is not rich, under the governance of the Sifang Chuan family, it is rare for people to die of starvation, and as long as people are willing to work, it is not a luxury to live.

But now the turmoil outside made him have to think about the harshest situation.

Whether it was Jiuzhi Laiqi, Sifang Chuan's calamus, or Sifangchuan City Lord lying on the ground in pain, they all knew that the worst would appear in Xianjinyi.

Sifang Chuan Iris bit her lip and watched her close guards go to inquire about the situation, but her mind was very complicated. It is impossible for humans to defeat Kabane, and as a member of the rulers of the Golden Station, she knows a lot more than ordinary people.

The only way to deal with Kabane is: the enemy chases me and runs, the enemy runs and I hide, and the enemy and I live in my house...... These three methods are not very effective, but they are the best way to ensure the survival rate.

In short, to sum it up in one word, "Gou".

Only by living can human beings have the opportunity to recuperate, and only by being beautiful can human beings raise the number of the total population and find a suitable law of survival.

The city surrounded by high walls is called the post city, and the living humans live in the post city, using the high walls to separate the Kabane from the humans, forming a relatively safe environment.

Just like the law of Gou followed by Yicheng, the same is true of Juncheng. The railroad tracks criss-cross all the post towns, and people transport supplies to each post city through the city of Juncheng. Use the thick iron sheet of Juncheng to protect people in the carriage, isolated from the murderous Kabane.

It can be said that Juncheng is like a microcosm of a post city, except that it cannot carry so many people and there is no land for people to cultivate, in terms of strategy against Kabane, the two are exactly the same.

After a while, Jiuzhi, who had a solemn face, hurried back with heavy steps.

The mood of the calamus of the square river seems to have fallen into the bottomless abyss.

"Kabane, those who have attacked, Lord Sifang Chuan City and the eldest lady, hurry up and take refuge, I will organize other samurai to block Kabane's attack as much as possible." Jiuzhi Laiqi was not afraid of life and death, and half-knelt on the ground, "I also hope that Lord Calamus can organize more civilians to go to the renovated Iron City, only by boarding the Iron City, we will have a chance to live." ”

"No, I can't leave you alone!" Sifang Chuan Calamus suddenly shouted, and then covered her mouth again, she didn't know why she said such ambiguous words.

Fortunately, at this time, it was already a critical moment, and neither of them paid attention to this matter, so Sifang Chuan Iris shook her head and forced herself to be sober.

Then, he returned to his previous expression and said calmly: "I will fight with you, Xianjin Post is the post city of my Sifang Chuan family, and my Sifang Chuan family is naturally obliged to fight against the attacking Kabane and rescue more people." ”

"Calamus-sama, you ...... You don't have to. Jiuzhi Laiqi sighed in his heart, he understood that this capable woman with her own attention would not easily change her attention because of danger.

As long as he nodded in response: "Lord Calamus, you must follow me when the time comes, Jiuzhi Laiqi swears, even if he loses this life, he will protect you." ”

"Don't worry, none of us will die, as long as we work together, we will always find a way."

At this time, the Quartet Chuan Calamus still doesn't understand that persistence will not bring victory, just like people often say that success requires hard work, if you don't work hard, how do you know that you are an untalented person. (Parentheses laugh.) )

————————————————

Sean looked at Takeda, who was separated from his head, with an indescribable sadness in his heart.

"Why is this happening, aren't you a salted fish, why do you have to protect others so desperately."

"You're awake, didn't you say that you want me to stand still, and you will definitely support me behind me?"

"Takeda, you waste wood, Kabane they are not extinct yet, those big men who enjoy it within the high walls are still eating human blood steamed buns, are you willing to die without taking revenge on them?"

·······

No matter how Shaun cursed, Takeda couldn't wake up.

His body gradually became cold, and perhaps Takeda was not very resistant to death, and there was no trace of sadness on his face.

Rather than becoming a Kabane and living in another form, being able to maintain a human body may be the only and final gift that God has given him.

The dead die, and are reduced to a puff of dust, and return to the earth.

Those who are alive still have to fight to keep alive.

Kabane invaded the peaceful post city, and countless people were bitten and sucked blood by Kabane, then stood up and joined Kabane's team to pounce on their former kind.

Unarmed civilians, in addition to wailing and asking for help, there is only one way out.

Where there is no Kabane, they run wherever they go, even if they understand that without the protection of the walls, the temporarily safe area will eventually fall under the rule of Kabane.

The hope of life constantly urges them, even if it is to live one more second, they have to fight for the right to see the world for one more second.

Under the invasion of Kabane, the people of the Xianjin Post felt for the first time the existence of equality.

However, there is clearly an outlier in the crowd.

He didn't go with the flow and run to a higher and safer place, as others do.

Instead, he went down against the current, dressed roughly, and dodged the crowd that was coming towards him.

"Ikoma, you must live, don't die, your dream has not been realized."

"I'm going to save you, you have to hold on!"

With a nervous face, the chubby man ran towards the prison of Xianjinyi, where his best friend and best work partner was being locked up.

No one knew if Schrödinger's cat was still alive before the box was opened, just like at this time, no one expected that Kabane really used Fusang City to break through the walls of Xianjinyi.

Because of this suddenness, it is difficult for Xianjinyi to parry.

When he knew that Kabane was attacking, he didn't think about running away as soon as possible, but remembered that when the Iron City arrived today, his "stupid and ridiculous" friend actually defended a guy who was suspected of being bitten by Kabane.

Against the backdrop of everyone's hatred of Kabane, it is hard to imagine that a normal person would defend a suspected Kabane infected person who could turn into Kabane in ten days and a half months.

At that time, he immediately covered Ikoma's mouth, hoping that Ikoma's words would not be heard.

It's a pity that Ikoma was convicted of colluding with Kabane and imprisoned in the cell of the Golden Station.

No one took pity on Ikoma who was taken away, and even Yusheng was only angry that those samurai were too ruthless, and in his heart he hoped that his friend would calmly think about why he wanted to make a mistake.

But...... The plan couldn't catch up with the change, but Kabane still came, so suddenly.

"Come on, run faster, you will definitely be able to save the foal, definitely!"

The city is broken, the people are still alive, and it is hard to imagine that a chubby fat man can quickly swim against the current in the crowded crowd.

With the belief of saving his friends, he used his strength to eat milk and ran wildly towards the dangerous area.

He had to worry about the sudden attack of Kabane, and he had to be careful not to collide with the escapees, plus his chubby body, and when he arrived at the cell of the Golden Station, there was nothing here.

"Ikoma-Ikoma-" Rushing to the cell where Ikoma was being held, he found that his friend was no longer here, and the lock of the cell was thrown aside, apparently his friend had already been released.

"Great, great."

He breathed a sigh of relief, believing that with the wisdom and courage of his friends, he would be able to escape safely to the Iron City.

Not only did Jiuzhi Laiqi understand that boarding the Iron City was the only way to survive, but as a repairman in Juncheng, he also understood that only the Iron City could take them out and seek a chance to survive.

However, just as he was about to hurry up and leave, there was an endless stream of roars around the Xianjin Station.

"Oh no, it's Kabane!"

After realizing that this area was gradually being occupied by Kabane, he didn't know what to do for a while.

Now there are two choices in front of him, one is to be shameless, and the other is to die with dignity.

The so-called shamelessness, of course, is to run away. But where could he escape, even if he used all his strength to feed, he would not be able to outrun the beasts.

The first choice passes, so die with dignity?

Looking at the fat belly, he looked left and right, hoping to find a sharp weapon, and committed suicide directly.

Isn't this flesh the best meal in Kabane's eyes?!

"What should I do, what should I do, don't come here!" Before he could figure out what choice to make, Kabane, who smelled the breath of humanity, appeared in the prison of Xianjinyi.

Looking at the chubby reckless Sheng, no matter how you look at it, it looks like watching a delicious meal.

Holding his head and squatting to defend himself, he closed his eyes resignedly.

"I didn't expect that Lord Yusheng didn't save the foal, but instead took himself, it's really miserable."

"Ikoma, you must remember me, remember that Lord Yusheng died to save you."

“...... It seems that Ikoma escaped on his own, ahhhhh ”

······

Time passed minute by minute, and in just one minute, he felt that he had spent a long year.

The body felt no pain, and the howls that lingered in my ears were gone.

Summoning up the courage to open his eyes, he felt that he must have seen a miracle, otherwise......

"I'm still alive!!"
