I saw that outside the tattered and old exit arch, layer after layer of infected people with no end in sight with the naked eye were rushing towards the direction of the town in a black cloud, they were as dense as ant nests and could not be counted, just standing there was enough to shock any soldier to lose the courage to raise his weapon.

In the middle of the dense infected crowd, a sturdy figure walked out. It was the same infected, horrible eyeball that had lost its rotten eye sockets and scanned the town around the town, and finally settled on the unknown life and death not far from the arch.

Ji Da raised his head and let out a high-pitched shrill hiss, and behind him, the cascading rotting infected people responded and responded. The mere sight of this scene made all the soldiers take several steps back in fright, completely giving way to the motionless man lying on the ground like a corpse.

The strong infected man took a few steps forward to pick up the girl who had fallen to the ground, and roared in a low voice, and then the corpse tide faded in tacit harmony, disappearing from people's field of vision as quietly and orderly as the tide receded.

“……”

"You were obviously able to stop her just now, Meng Ge. With your abilities, it's not a difficult thing to do, is it? Bai Hexi leaned against the tall wall with his eyes tilted upward, as if he had no bones. The wound on his face had been carefully treated, and he stared deeply at the direction in which the infected person had retreated, and was silent for a long time, before suddenly saying such a sentence.

The man standing on the side paused, ignoring the weapon that he had put away and remodeled into a strange black box. Meng Ge turned around and walked to the steps of the rooftop, and when he was about to cross the threshold, he finally replied, "You think too much, her strength is much stronger than you and I expected, and it is normal to miss for a while." ”

"Oh? Then how will you explain to those old guys when you go back, the twelve elders dispatched two but couldn't even catch a black girl? Haha, I don't want to embarrass this face with you, anyway, she's already infected with the toxin of the hallucination potion...... Isn't it too cheap for her to die like this? No one has ever dared to scratch my face. ”

“…… Baihe Creek. On the pitch-black steps that were about to be shrouded in shadows, Meng Ge glanced back at him. Forgot the battle with Qin Jiuyuan in the arena? I have long warned you and those people that the awakening of the black people is a matter of time, and if you continue to underestimate the enemy in this way, the Academy of Sciences will end up in the same fate as the Magician Guild. After that, he didn't care about Bai Hexi's response, and stepped out of the threshold and walked straight down the stairs.

Behind him, Bai Hexi's delicate and beautiful face suddenly twisted violently for a moment. He closed his eyes, tilted his head, took a deep breath, as if trying his best to forget the humiliating memories that could not be washed away, and the next moment the light flashed on the ring on his right hand, and a huge silhouette was faintly drawn on the empty rooftop, wrapped in a heavy and coercive steel aura.

……

Qiu Xuan opened her eyes from the thick darkness, and the bumps under her shook her uncomfortably, and she struggled to straighten up and look at the situation around her. At this moment, her vision was moving at a constant speed on the endless wasteland on the edge of the Wei River, and she was lying flat and was surrounded by something above her head, and her eyes were densely packed with people who could not see her appearance, making her live like a chief surrounded by some cannibal tribe.

She tried to keep her balance and poked out her head to glance down, and the next moment, a terrifying face with a half-rotten face that was about to fall and turn out met her.

Qiu Xuan: ......

Briefly startled for a moment, Qiu Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then found that all the people under her who were densely surrounded by her all turned their heads or raised their heads to look at her in an instant, without exception, with an amazing face that was crushed at the scene of the car accident and spliced together with broken stitches.

She was half-lying on top of the rotting arms that held her body, and there was an eerie silence for a moment.

“…… Ji Da? ”

An infected person who had walked in front of several positions turned his head when he heard the voice: "111! ”

Sure enough, it's you. Qiu Xuan raised her hand and rubbed her temples with a faint pain, and suddenly remembered something, and said, "Where is Susu?" Didn't you carry it on your back? ”

Ji Da tilted his head to look at her, as if he was trying to discern the meaning of the words, and just as Qiu Xuan was about to explain again, he stretched out his long arms and pulled out a thin figure like a chicken boy from the marching army of infected people.

The black girl named Susu was obediently carried in her hands, and she blinked in surprise when she saw Qiu Xuan. "Qiu Xuan! You're finally awake, thank you for saving me! This is the second time you've helped me, so if there's anything you need to use me in the future, just mention it! ”

Seeing that the girl's original red body had faded, her mental state was unprecedentedly high, and her personality looked much more lively than before, Qiu Xuan raised her eyebrows. "How do you feel when you wake up? By the way, how do you know that I saved you? ”

"It was Ziqi who told me. I feel better than ever now! Sorry, I can't describe it...... But it was a fullness and lightness that I had never had in my previous ten years of life. ”

That's good. Qiu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then saw Mencius, who was crowded into a pile of infected people not far away, struggling to walk towards them against the flow of people.

"Hi, Qiu Xuan, you're finally awake." Mencius walked to Su Su's side, although he still looked faintly resistant to the infected people around him, but in the past few days, he had overcome his fear and was able to get along peacefully. "After being swept away by the tide, I was separated from everyone, so I had to walk slowly along the edge of the Wei River alone, but I didn't expect to meet such a large wave of infected people."

Speaking of this, he seemed to tug at the collar that was squeezed messy, and continued, "I was so scared that I wanted to run away, but I didn't expect to see you!" Ahem, at that time, you were being carried forward like now, and it was hard for people not to notice, I thought you had offended such a large group of infected people, and they were going to carry you to a place to eat. ”

"But after all, it's a teammate - we owe you a favor! Later, I quietly followed behind for a while, and found that this was not the case, not to mention that I also saw the infected person you had to save in the first place. Mencius pointed at Ji Da cautiously, "They don't seem to have the desire to attack you, but more like a kind of protection." And it wasn't until one day, Su Su suddenly woke up, that I realized that she was among them. ”

"Well, did you already know that the infected people were already able to possess some wisdom and reason, so you tried your best to stop them from giving up the infected mercenary in the first place?"

"That's it." Qiu Xuan followed his words and sorted out the thoughts in his mind, and after probably matching the previous cognition, he began to think about the next step.

"Anyway, we'll have to go to Norbailey first." After getting used to the bumps from time to time and the unique smell of rotting corpses, Qiu Xuan has gradually become a little numb, and the large and small wounds on her body still exude a strong sense of existence.

"It's easier to find someone when you get to Nobel. By the way, the Academy of Sciences is looking for us everywhere, and among the people they sent is your grandfather Meng Ge. ”

"Have you seen your grandfather?!" Mencius's eyes widened in surprise, "My communicator is broken, and I can't contact the family, so I have to follow you back to Nobele, and he actually came in person!" Are you here to pick us up? ”

Facing the eyes of Mencius and Su Suji, Qiu Xuan couldn't say the sentence "Of course not, he's here to kill me" for a while, so he had to mumble two sentences, such as he might be busy, and deal with the past first.

"Oh yes, I remember walking about a dozen kilometers to the small inn of Norbery, we can go there first and see if there is any information about them." Mencius period.

Yes, if the journey is correct, she will be almost at the post station closest to the main city, and in an instant, she finally remembered the thing she had always forgotten - "Send me a message if you go ashore safely, and if you go along the Wei River, you will pass by a post station where our people will meet you." ”

Qiu Xuan was stunned, his fingers went down to the slightly cool ring in the depths of his pocket, and then the god raised his hand like a ghost and made a stupid movement, and softly shouted "Qin Jiuyuan" to the round ring.

“……”

The atmosphere was eerily silent for two seconds, and Mencius reacted, clenching his fist with one hand to his mouth and letting out a light cough. "Ahem, that...... Qiu Xuan, I know you're worried, but you don't need to ...... Uh, wait, are you guys already engaged?! ”

"Shut up."

“…… Oh. ”

The mighty crowd of infected people surrounded the only three humans and marched forward, and Qiu Xuan sat cross-legged to occupy the highest point of vision, and for a moment the various behaviors below were in full view.

Although Susu's recovery was expected, it always felt that it was too easy. If her previous conjecture was not wrong, when Su Su woke up again as a "black person", she should have awakened that she carried some kind of ability - regardless of whether that ability was good or bad. But now it seems that there is no difference except that he is a little more energetic than before.

Could it be that the totem imprinted on the black person by Fu Zeqi is different from the one she inscribed? Qiu Xuan touched her chin and fell into her own thoughts.

She didn't notice that a faint and almost imperceptible aroma that had been lingering around the tip of her nose gradually intensified, and when the strange aroma was so thick that it was inevitable that it was overwhelming, the mutation suddenly happened.

The first to mutate was an infected man who had been hidden in the ranks with little presence, and his walking pace paused for a moment, followed by a convulsion of pain in the decaying body. The already sharp and muddy nails doubled in an instant, and large and exaggerated muscles covered with corpse spots bulged from his body. He let out a sudden whistling of his neck, and his entire eyeball, completely exposed to air, was filled with an eerie scarlet.

He opened his bloody jaws, and with a single tear of his sharp nails, he tore the infected in front of him in a volley, and the sharp teeth of the saw blades tore off the flesh and blood of his companion in a few clicks, but in a few breaths he continued to attack the next target.

This was like a forenotice, and after him, the infected people stopped moving forward, and one by one they raised their necks and raised their heads to let out a terrible hissing sound.

Sensing that something was wrong, Qiu Xuan hurriedly stretched his hand and turned over the place where he was being held, and pulled Su Su with one hand and shouted towards Mencius: "Run!" Run out of their encirclement first! ”

"That'...... What did he do? Mencius pointed at Ji Da with some hesitation who seemed to be looking at the chaos in front of him with a blank face, Ji Da was still the same as before, but it was much more normal than those infected people who suddenly mutated and were subjected to a berserk mode.

Qiu Xuan hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and divided a little mental power to control Su Su on Ji Da's back to run with them. She rushed to the front and slid out the knife to clear the way without leaving half an effort, and her agility and strength doubled in a short period of time, and the infected people were like tigers. They attack indiscriminately and painlessly, and as long as it is a living creature that can move in front of them, whether it is a kind of human or a few humans who smell good, all of them have become the range of their frenzied attacks.

In a hurry, Qiu Xuan did not hesitate to consume his physical and mental strength rapidly, and he had no time to take care of the unhealed wounds on his body, so he forcibly doubled the speed on the original basis to enter a state of intensification of dangerous infection.

The five senses that gather or diverge have automatically planned the best attack method and route in an instant, coupled with the mysterious and precise sixth sense, Qiu Xuan's treacherous figure shuttles through the wave of infectious rage, and everywhere he goes, the stumps and palms are broken, and the cold edge flashes out to kill the decisive battle.

She fought a bloody way in the tide of corpses with a human body, and fought the last bit of remaining energy, and with a fierce knife in her hand, she finally saw the breakthrough of the encirclement.

"Mencius," she shouted behind her, "get out of here, and then keep running in the direction of the post station, you know." ”

"Autumn ...... Qiu Xuan. Behind him, there was the voice of the person who seemed to have seen something beyond his knowledge.

Qiu Xuan frowned and turned around, and saw Mencius's eyes trembling with wide eyes, and Ji Da, who had lost his command instructions, stood aside in a daze. And Su Su, who was no longer on Ji Da's back, was standing alone in the purgatory-like scene of the world at this moment.

The slender and thin black girl looked out of place standing in the frenzied crowd of corpses, but this was such a person who made the infected people who were beating each other stop their movements and took a few steps back in fear.

Su Su stood in the empty central clearing, and there was no trace of emotion in his eyes that were completely covered in pitch black. She suddenly raised her weird and terrifying eyes to look at Qiu Xuan, and her thin wrist was raised straight in this direction.

Without the hint of danger sensing, Qiu Xuan felt the cold hair stand up at the first time, and her pupils constricted for a while.

In the midst of the chaos, she vaguely heard a strange and familiar deep voice whispering in her ear: "Little girl, wake up." ”
