Chapter 172: The Siege
"Brother Chen, just do the old brother a favor, remember your favor, in the future, I will be a guide to accompany you to play all over the 100,000 mountains, don't underestimate our barren mountains and mountains, the towering and upright peaks, the endless sea of trees, the endless waterfalls, the undulating terrain, the lively wild animals, etc. Because of the different changes of the four seasons, it is even more exciting, but no one knows that there is a secret there, my brother I have been there many times and have found nothing, after the brother takes you in to enjoy it, maybe the luck of the brother is good, can participate in the mystery. ”
"Is that true?" Chen Pi also saw that Cai Xueji couldn't get rid of it, so she had to squeeze something more out of Baole to compensate.
"There is no lie." Bauler's answer was categorical.
Time flies.
Soon three days passed.
Regarding the sudden appearance of Cai Xueji, Chen Pi only said to Xu Nannan and others that he was a snow demon collected outside, but with the precedent of a snake belt, everyone did not show too much surprise, and being able to see the legendary snow demon close to each other satisfied everyone's curiosity.
In the first day, Cai Xueji was pestered by everyone almost all day long, and some trivial things in the Snow Demon Clan could also make them listen to them with relish and couldn't help but be happy, but the Tailed Beast Brigade was slightly dissatisfied with not catching up with the battle with the Netherworld King.
Tailed beasts are warlike and have no choice.
"From the current point of view, the domestic situation has a tendency to deteriorate further, and this trend has a tendency to spread to the world." Chen Pi lay on the soft sofa with his hands behind his head, looking up at the ceiling, his mind full of the latest news in the newspaper.
The official was overwhelmed by the mysterious incident, and was exhausted, and the mysterious investigation bureaus stationed in various places were busy every day, and even the probationary awakened people had been recruited into the army, and as for the residential area that had been washed in blood by Meiling and Naluo, the newspapers did not mention it at all, and it was obviously covered up.
However, Chen Pi can understand their approach, with the eyes of the awakened, it is not difficult to see that it is the masterpiece of the Netherworld King, and Naraku, who died before he was born, has no chance to complete the work of blaming others later, in the current chaotic situation, if the news of the Netherworld King's invasion breaks out again, the people of the country who are already panicked will be even more difficult to accept mentally.
However, other areas are not calm, although there is no chaos like Sichuan and Chongqing, but there are also a large number of strange incidents. For a time, the lumberjacks were in danger of themselves, and not only did not young people choose this profession, but when the number of unemployed people was rising, a large number of loggers voluntarily resigned.
Lin Chen really went to the wooded northwest as Cai Xueji said, and it was easy for him to do this as he made good use of the grass and wood puppets, but his courage was really not small, and a lone demon dared to break into the hinterland.
The whole world is in fear.
A large number of media outlets were amazed at the coming of the apocalypse, the huge increase in religious believers, including those evil organizations, and in just a few days, at least three missionaries of different religions had asked to meet with Xu Nannan's family and recruit him into the group.
There was a slight and hurried footsteps at the door, and Chen Pi turned his head to look and saw Zhao Youcheng standing at the door with a pale face.
"What's going on again, come in and sit down." Chen Pi waved his hand and said, Zhao Youcheng's face was very bad, it seemed that something big had happened again.
"Senior, Ye Fanghua sent someone to send a message, the Nether King has appeared again, this time, more than nine hundred and eighty people were killed, and the survivors are only two children under the age of ten. The remaining judges of the underworld had gone to watch the scene, and according to them, a single person was not capable of performing such a blood technique, and it must have been the reinforcements from the other side of the Hell Rift who had arrived. Zhao Youcheng sat on the sofa and said in a heavy tone, he who had experienced the bloody case at the Sichuan-Chongqing Airport, naturally understood the grievances between Chen Pi and the Netherworld, and his first reaction was that the Netherworld King came to take revenge.
Chen Pi slowly sat up from the sofa and said with a solemn face: "Then what do they mean?" ”
"Ye Fanghua hopes that we can go to the headquarters of the Secret Investigation Bureau in the capital as soon as possible, where we can be better protected, the revenge of the Nether King this time is very bloody, the more than 980 people have all been sucked out of blood, and all the pets in the residential area have been killed, even the underground there has been infiltrated with venom, the groundwater there is completely undrinkable, and all the vegetation has withered." Zhao Youcheng said.
Chen Pi was secretly taken aback in his heart, he couldn't imagine that the Netherworld Monarch would pollute the soil there in order to restrict his movements, but fortunately he didn't use the soil to escape again.
Seeing that Chen Pi was silent, Zhao Youcheng continued: "Sichuan and Chongqing also know the news, and specially sent a message to tell us to be careful, seniors, you trapped them with an enchantment at Sichuan-Chongqing Airport, this time they are coming back, and they will definitely take revenge on their predecessors, I also feel that at this time, seniors should go to a safe place to avoid their edge." ”
"You're right." Chen Pi said solemnly, "It seems that it is time to send you away." ”
"Send away?" Zhao Youcheng repeated strangely, "Where to go?" ”
"Nature is a safe place, a place that cannot be invaded in a short period of time."
In fact, Chen Pi still has a heavy intention that has not been spoken, the demon clan is obviously accumulating strength now, and the real offensive should be still behind, at that time, I am afraid it will not be so easy to dodge.
At this moment, Xu Xiaohui ran into the house panting with a panicked face, her neatly combed hair was also scattered, and her pretty cheeks became pale and bloodless.
"What's wrong?" Chen Pi hurriedly asked.
Xu Xiaohui took three steps and two steps to the TV that almost occupied a wall, and turned on the TV.
"It seems that something unusual is happening, just now we heard the constant screams from the waiters' rooms outside, so we looked at it curiously, and we saw this." Xu Xiaohui said with a frightened face.
I saw a city full of crashing car wrecks on the streets, and from time to time there were deafening explosions, and everywhere you could see were people fleeing in panic, screaming, crying, pushing each other, running in all directions like headless flies, and from time to time someone fell and was trampled under the feet of the crowd.
"This should be aerial footage." Zhao Youcheng clasped his hands in front of his chest and said with a puzzled expression, "Which city is this, has there been an earthquake?" ”
"Not really." Chen Pi said categorically, "There is no sign of the building shaking and collapsing on the screen. ”
"Riots?" Zhao Youcheng then asked.
Chen Pi looked at the picture carefully for a long time and said: "It's not very like, you see that these people are all running like they are running with their lives, neither smashing nor grabbing things, and the riot seems to be the main thing to smash and rob." ”
As the camera zoomed in, the two noticed that there were dense and pulsing black dots on the street above the frame, and it was from that direction that people were fleeing.
"Senpai, what's that?" Zhao Youcheng squinted for a long time before asking.
"It seems to be...... Frogs, toads, and the like. Chen Pi replied with some uncertainty, the distance was too far, the picture quality was quite unclear, and it was difficult for him to determine what kind of creature it was.
As the camera zoomed in closer, Chen Pi finally saw the true face of those black dots, and sure enough, as he said, they were creatures like frogs and toads.
It's just that it's getting too big.
Originally the size of an adult's fist, the frog now has the size of an ordinary basin on its back, and its turquoise skin has turned an eerie dark green, but its sheer size doesn't seem to affect its speed.
Thousands of monsters were like a black torrent, Chen Pi's first reaction was that they were demon beasts from the demon world, but after recalling it again and again, there was no record of this creature in Jizo's memory, and after glancing at the tailed beast and brigade, the demon cat also shook his head.
These strange frogs, while rapidly advancing on the highway towards the city center, opened their 'bloody mouths' from time to time, and at the same time, someone in the crowd of people in front of him screamed and fell, and then he was overwhelmed by the black torrent, dozens of strange frogs covered him under him, and the unfortunate man struggled a few times and then fell silent.
Two high-decibel screams sounded in the room, Xu Xiaohui didn't fully see the image in the picture until this time, and the huge sense of fear completely submerged her like a tide, Chen Pi hurriedly dodged in front of the TV, helped her to the place where the image could not be seen on the sofa, comforted her for a moment, and then calmed down.
"Senior, come and see." Zhao Youcheng said in a trembling voice.
Chen Pi walked quickly to the TV, Zhao Youcheng pointed to the crowd in the lower right corner of the screen and said, "Senior, look at those people." ”
Chen Pi looked intently, only to see a large number of people crowded into a small street square, because a large number of vehicles abandoned by the owner blocked the road that was not wide, the people who fled here were difficult to divert for a while, and a large number of people were stranded here, but the strange frogs that kept pressing behind them forced the crowd to rush forward frantically.
But in the process, it was clear from the air that every now and then someone in the square suddenly disappeared, and then the people who were surging forward behind him also disappeared in the same place, as if there was a bottomless pit there.
"What's going on?" Chen Pi turned his head and asked Zhao Youcheng with a puzzled face, it is impossible for these people to fall, this kind of person is close to everyone crowding, the speed of people moving is extremely slow, even if there is something mixed under their feet, they will only pounce on the back of the previous person, and it is completely impossible to fall.
Zhao Youcheng shook his head wordlessly, he couldn't figure out what the reason for this phenomenon happened.
At this time, I saw a commotion in the back row of the crowd, and it turned out that the forward of the strange frog was a street corner away from here, and the shadow of death had hung over the heads of these people, and it could pounce down at any time.
The people standing in the back row screamed in fear and rushed forward desperately, but they couldn't take a few steps at all, and some of the middle-aged men suddenly grabbed iron rods and other items from the ground, and hit the back of the head of the person in front of them like crazy, and suddenly blood burst out on the screen, and people fell to the ground screaming one after another.
Soon, more people joined the line, they mercilessly slaughtered their compatriots, just hoping that they could take a few more steps, a few meters away from the strange frogs, Chen Pi sighed silently, the inferiority of human beings was undoubtedly revealed at this time of crisis.
"Crazy." Zhao Youcheng scolded.
Chen Pi said indifferently: "It can be seen from the picture that these strange frogs must have advanced from outside the city to the city, and the guardians may have been killed." ”
The phone in the room rang suddenly.
The sudden sound made everyone in the room startled, Chen Pi easily connected, and what appeared on the screen was Ye Fanghua, whose face was pale and bloodless.
"Chen Pi, have you watched TV, the western suburbs of Sichuan and Chongqing have been invaded by mutant creatures." Ye Fanghua forced her composure and said, "At present, thousands of people have been killed, and the mutant creatures are advancing to the urban area, and the number of dead and injured is expected to be uncountable. ”
"I'm looking at it right now, it's really bad, what are you going to do?" Chen Pi glanced at the TV and replied.
"Our Yangcheng side is organizing people to go to Sichuan and Chongqing to support, and there are already three thousand awakened people rushing there, do the seniors have any intention of going?" Ye Fanghua asked.
Chen Pi pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "My duty is not to protect Sichuan and Chongqing. ”
Ye Fanghua nodded in disappointment and said, "Senior, have you received the news I sent about the Nether Monarch?" ”
"I appreciate your kindness, but I've already made some arrangements." Chen Pi rejected Ye Fanghua's request, the headquarters of the Awakened, that is a place where it is easy to enter and difficult to come out.
Hanging up the phone, Chen Pi turned his head and asked, "Are any of you familiar with the western suburbs?" ”
"It's close to the South River, and the water is abundant." Xu Nannan said with a frown.
Just when Chen Pi inquired about Nanhe's introduction, Zhao Youcheng shouted loudly: "Senior, what do you think it is?" ”
The strange frog in the TV aerial photography has not yet rushed over, and the crowd in the square has died under the cannibalism at this time, and there are dead corpses everywhere.
But what surprised Chen Pi the most was not this, but the snake-like monsters that were devouring the corpses, they had obviously broken through the hard floor tiles laid in the square, and rushed from the ground to the surface, the exposed body outside the cave was nearly two meters long, the waist was as wide as two ordinary people's waists, and there was a huge mouth full of fangs at the head position, which could easily swallow an adult.
There were dozens of such monsters in the entire square, and Chen Pi immediately understood why the people in the square suddenly disappeared just now, it turned out that they all fell into their bellies, they only needed to penetrate the floor tiles in the square, and then open their mouths wide, and the crowded crowd naturally took the initiative to send the prey into their mouths.
"What is this?" Zhao Youcheng said dumbfounded.
Then.
The strange frogs have rushed into the square, and it is obvious that the strange frogs are also quite afraid of it, and it can be seen that all the strange frogs try to avoid the range of these snake monsters as much as possible, but even so, there are still dozens of strange frogs that fall into the mouth of the snake monster and disappear in an instant.
"It's a terrible monster." Cai Xueji, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but tremble, women are inevitably afraid of these things that resemble insects, not to mention that they are so crazy and bloodthirsty, Chen Pi held his hands in front of his chest, looked at the miserable scene on the screen, and was silent.
This should be said to be not a creature of the demon world, at least in Jizo's memory, there is no creature that matches it, but Chen Pi instinctively feels that even if it is not a creature of the demon world, there must be a demon clan related, otherwise it is impossible for such a fierce beast to appear in the world for no reason.
"Sichuan and Chongqing are really a place full of disasters and difficulties." Chen Pi couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Chen Pi had an ominous premonition, according to Ye Huniang, it has been two months since the demon clan led by him passed through the gate of the demon world and arrived in the world, and the demon clan, who had been silent for so long, finally launched a formal revenge action, compared to these monsters in front of him, the previous tentative attacks were simply too gentle.
"Senior, you see, the agents of the Secret Investigation Bureau have appeared, and these monsters are going to suffer." Zhao Youcheng's excited shout interrupted Chen Pi's thoughts, and his mind was pulled back to the sky above the Nanhe River in the western suburbs.
I saw dozens of agents in black robes appear in the camera, and the leader Chen Pi also knew that it was Li Jian who came to support him when he was trapped at the Sichuan-Chongqing Airport, but it seemed that he was much older than at that time, and his face was tired.
