After Hua Yan and Shi Feng drank half a bottle of Lao Bai in the tavern, they were already a little red-faced, and they talked more.

"When did you say the Star Moon God Cult and the Light and Darkness Alliance came to this Steel City? How far have they expanded now? ”

Hua Yan took a sip of Lao Baigan, then gently put down the wine glass, looked at Shi Feng and asked.

"That's a long story, and that's what I want to tell you when I invite you out for a drink."

Shi Feng drank all the wine in the cup in a dashing manner, and said slowly while playing with the empty wine glass.

"After the nuclear explosion, Commander Han Chenggang led the army to take over almost all the underground shelters and subway systems in Yangcheng, and then opened the grain depot, gathered nearly two million survivors, and initially established order, after the continuous radioactive black rain ended, he began to mobilize all adult humanity to build the steel city, and he himself took the lead, braving the radiation to build the city wall, not long after the steel city was on the right track, the priests of the Light and Dark Alliance and the messengers of the Star and Moon God Sect came."

"Both of them want to take over the City of Steel, and they are fighting for this, Commander Han Chenggang also insists on not accepting any party to take over, and even does not hesitate to use force, and finally the three parties are deadlocked, and then Commander Han invited our Gu family to enter the City of Steel, and finally the current situation was formed, and then all parties agreed to establish a joint guild, Commander Han was promoted to the city lord and concurrently served as the guild president, and the Light and Darkness Alliance, the Star Moon Divine Sect, and the Gujia Martial Arts Hall each sent a representative as the vice president, and the guild issued various tasks, Each completed mission will earn points based on its difficulty, with which each faction can be exchanged for expanded places. ”

"For example, if the Light and Darkness Alliance completes a task and gets 100 points, then the Light and Darkness Alliance can use this 100 points to exchange for ten places to recruit disciples in the City of Steel, and if our Gujia Martial Arts Hall completes a task and gets 100 points, we can also get ten places to recruit students in the City of Steel, so I invite you to join our Gu family, but also to fight against the erosion of the Light and Dark Alliance and the Star Moon Divine Sect in this City of Steel."

After Shi Feng finished speaking, he casually put the wine glass in his hand on the table, his eyes shining, and he looked at Hua Yan.

Hua Yan also fell into deep thought, the form of the Steel City was indeed intricate and worrying, but he thought of another question instead, so he asked:

"What's going on with you ancient martial arts families? I haven't heard of it before, are there some other ancient martial arts families? ”

Shi Feng was a little surprised, but then he shook his head indifferently and said:

"I have always suspected that Brother Hua Yan is also a person cultivated by an ancient martial arts family, but I didn't expect you to really know the slightest, it seems that Brother Hua Yan doesn't know about the secret agreement of the Qin Emperor."

"Emperor Qin's Secret Covenant?"

Hua Yan's heart was shocked, and he blurted out four words, he remembered that when he killed Murong Xuan, before he died, Murong Xuan had said these four words, which made Hua Yan even more curious at this time, what was hidden behind these mysterious ancient martial arts families, so he said solemnly:

"Brother Shi Feng, can you explain it, listen to it in the next place!"

At this time, Shi Feng's face also became solemn, and he added another glass of wine to himself, then drank it all, and then said in a deep voice:

"There are a total of sixteen words in the Qin Emperor's secret covenant: the end of the world has not come, the family does not come out, and the foundation of inheritance is sunk in the Qin mound."

"How many families have survived now, I don't know much about the specifics, once I accidentally heard the head of the family leak, a certain time the whole family held a conference, attended more than ten families, according to legend, in the pre-Qin era, we ancient Chinese people have many soul people awakened some mysterious inheritance, and these inheritances are passed on to the world, that is, the I Ching in the 'dry', 'kun', 'water', 'fire', 'wind', 'thunder', 'mountain' Ze's eight runes, and some genius swordsmiths, can cast some special ancient swords, and then many soul people can use these ancient swords to imitate those inheritances and build runes in their bodies, and these eight runes have extremely special and extremely powerful abilities. ”

"After many soul people have constructed these runes, some people can even fight against ten thousand, as powerful as an ox, flying to the sky, etc., and some people have a much longer lifespan, until Emperor Qin was born later, his strength is unmatched, and there is a group of powerful subordinates, they hunt down and kill the rune powerhouse, burn the inheritance, and finally sweep Liuhe, and the eight desolations return to one. Later, a massacre was launched against all the soul powers, confiscating the soul gold and weapons of the world, casting twelve gold people, and almost all the inheritance of soul energy was destroyed. ”

"At this time, a powerful existence appeared, according to legend, at that time, 'white light rushed to the sky, and the pillar of light was like a wheel', this existence stopped the Qin Emperor, and retained the last complete inheritance, saved the few remaining rune powerhouses, and asked for the "Book of Changes" to circulate in the world, but after the existence disappeared, the Qin Emperor reached an agreement with the remaining rune powerhouses, which is the so-called Qin Emperor's secret covenant, which is the sixteen words I just said."

"And the remaining rune powerhouses have slowly continued to become ancient martial arts families, and for two thousand years, these ancient martial arts families have also collected and lost ancient swords in many ways, and used these ancient swords to continue to pass on to this day, but the most complete inheritance is buried in the mausoleum of Emperor Qin, since ancient times, countless people have wanted to explore the last inheritance, but no one has ever gone in and returned."

Shi Feng said so much in one breath, after finishing speaking, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and then stared at Hua Yan, at this time, Hua Yan quickly poured Shi Feng a full glass of wine, and then filled a glass for himself, then raised the wine glass and said:

"Brother Shi Feng, thank you for your guidance, come, do this drink, don't get drunk today!"

"Good~ If you don't get drunk, you won't return!"

Shi Feng also picked up the wine glass, and the two drank it all after touching it.

The information that Shi Feng said made Hua Yan feel deeply shocked, and he also connected with his own experience, "white light soars into the sky, and the pillar of light is like a wheel" When his father handed over his eyeballs, that existence also appeared, and he also felt the power of that existence, it was simply a vast and boundless consciousness, even the demon was frightened and retreated, who was he? Hua Yan had a big question in his heart.

And the image of the ancient Chinese people in his shrine also ended after the Qin Emperor unified the Six Kingdoms, and the Qin Emperor's secret covenant made all the ancient Chinese martial arts inheritance basically disappear in the world, only the "Book of Changes" circulated in the world, and the ancient martial arts family can only exist secretly, what is behind this series?

And now in this apocalypse, even this seemingly impregnable steel city is still full of dangers, with endless mutated beasts, demon beasts, and deadly radiation outside, and the light and dark alliance and the star-moon god cult inside, the fate of human destruction and extinction is always so close, close and almost within reach!

That night, Hua Yan and Shi Feng were both very drunk, and in the end, Hua Yan did not agree to Shi Feng to join the Shi family, which made Shi Feng a little disappointed, but the two still cherished each other and formed a deep friendship.

Under the Hunter's Guild Building in the Steel City, there is a passage through the ground, which passage enters the ground nearly 100 meters underground, connecting a corridor, and hundreds of offices are neatly arranged on both sides of the corridor, which is the administrative hub of the entire Steel City, that is, the office of the City Lord's Mansion now, there is a large office of nearly 100 square meters in the innermost part of the left, in front of a large desk in the office, there is a black leather sofa, behind the sofa is a row of filing cabinets, which are more than ten meters long, It was full of documents and materials, and behind this row of filing cabinets were two rows of bookcases, which were filled with all kinds of thick books.

In front of the desk is a large sand table of about 20 square meters in size placed two or three meters away, the sand table is mainly presented in the steel city and part of the surrounding terrain structure, behind the sand table is a large rectangular conference table, there are nearly 20 square meters, next to the conference table, there are 20 wooden square chairs, and there are six milky white wall lamps on the walls on both sides of the office.

At this time, there was an old man with gray hair, nearly sixty years old, and a dignified and resolute face sitting on the black leather sofa, he was the lord of the Steel City-Han Chenggang, he frowned and looked at a piece of information that had just been sent, the huge pressure made his back look a little hunched, there was a cup of coffee on the desk, and there was a hint of heat, after reading the document, Han Chenggang picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip gently, and then pressed a black button on the desk.

After a while, the door of the office opened, and a young officer in his thirties came in, he was the secretary of the city lord's office, he was more than one meter eighty, his body was straight, his appearance was handsome, and his eyes were sharp, and he quickly saluted Han Chenggang after coming in.

"Hello Chief!"

Han Chenggang also stood up, saluted him back, and then bowed slightly and said:

"Hong Zhan, you go and invite the logistics chief, I have something to look for him."

"Yes! Heads! ”

The young officer responded cleanly, and then walked out of the office quickly.

Half an hour later, a slightly fat, somewhat bald officer in his fifties came to the door of the office and knocked on the door, he was Luo Zhongfa, the logistics director of the Steel City.

"Lao Luo, come in~"

Han Chenggang shouted softly to the door, then came to the conference table with coffee in one hand and documents in the other, and found a square chair to sit down.

"The last mission failed!"

After seeing Luo Zhongfa sit down, Han Chenggang said in a deep voice, and then dialed the document to Luo Zhongfa on the conference table.

"What?"

Luo Zhongfa was obviously taken aback, then took the document, looked at it for a while, frowned, and then muttered.

"The people who went to the grain depot to pick up the grain were all wiped out!"

"What about the people from the Light and Dark Alliance who are on escort missions?"

"Two died, five escaped, according to them, they were besieged by more than a dozen demon beasts, these demon beasts also have obvious organizational discipline, they have a strong purpose!"

Han Chenggang took a sip of coffee and said slowly with a heavy face.
