In the scorching summer sun, the vision was distorted in the air. The whole world seemed to have turned into a big steamer, and the sweat of more than 100,000 people crackled like raindrops on the dry earth.

Fu Rong sat in a sedan chair carried by six people, followed by a sedan chair carried by twenty people in the Nine Dragons and Ten Phoenixes carried by his father. Despite the heat, everyone looked at them with devout adoration. Although Fu Rong doesn't have any habits for arousing, when tens of thousands of eyes are focused on her, she is still very proud and happy.

This was followed by a complicated ritual in which the old king stepped down from the palanquin. Fu Rong and her three siblings followed him towards the altar. The altar was only twenty meters high, but it took a full hour for all those involved in the sacrifice to walk down the stairs to the altar. This includes many prostrations, and kneeling halfway up the steps before returning to the altar and going up again. Of course, the function of these movements is not important, what matters is its sense of ritual. Although these procedures are cumbersome and complicated, there seems to be a hypnotic feeling, and before you know it, Fu Rong has finished the hour's movements and walked from the bottom of the altar to the altar. Then he began to touch his forehead against the slate that could bake the eggs, and began to kneel for half an hour.

Finally, with the high-pitched and loud voice of the high priest, the old king first bowed to Tiansan, then the four princesses and their royal highnesses bowed to Tiansan, and then dozens of ministers on the steps of the altar began to bow three times. Finally, hundreds of thousands of people around the altar began to prostrate nine times. Hundreds of thousands of people bowed together under the altar, and when you look down from the altar, it looks like a black wave constantly rolling, and the scene is very magnificent.

Then, many large wooden boxes with parachutes fell from the sky. They fluttered like feathers gently from the blue sky and landed in the clearing. Then the crowd erupted in thunderous shouts of thanks.

The kingdom is made up of countless independent oases in the desert, and if you drive your truck in a straight line for half an hour and don't see one, you probably have left the kingdom and have to go back the way you came. Otherwise, you risk getting lost in the endless deserts outside the kingdom.

Since the oasis is not very large, and the kingdom has a population of more than 1.5 million. Even if all the oasis land were to be planted with food, it would not be enough to sustain the survival needs of all people. For this reason, members of the royal family were required to come to the altar every two weeks to worship. After each worship, countless daily necessities fall from the sky. Not only food, but also some interesting books and electronics.

"Long live my king, long live long live, long live my king, long live long live." In the cheers of the people, the members of the royal family walked down from the altar and drove towards the palace in a sedan chair.

As the sun set, Fu Rong rode back to the altar on my white horse. From afar, her brother Mizumiya Misaki was still directing the convoys, transporting supplies from the sky to various towns.

"Brother, it's hard work." Fuei smiled and handed Misaki a bottle of mineral water. He was wearing his upper body, and he was covered in sweat. After taking the water, he drank it down, and there was a rumbling sound in his throat.

"Why didn't you come here with you in the palace?" Misaki said as he took four slips from a soldier at the same time, and then signed his name one after another.

"Life in the palace is so boring, all day long except to eat and sleep. Sometimes it's better to ride a horse and walk around for a while. ”

"It's not that there's a lack of fun in life, it's that there's a lack of the heart to feel it. Seeing that my father is not busy every day, I am really worried that his kidneys will not be able to withstand such a high-intensity work and die young. Misaki said, his eyes full of malice.

"Father does have some of that, but then again, if it weren't for God's blessing from Father's prayers, we would have starved to death."

"I don't think the things that fell from the sky had anything to do with my father. Maybe even if we do nothing, the heavenly supplies will still fall. ”

"Hey, be quiet." Tomoei put his head close to Mizaki's ear, looked at the soldiers around him, and whispered, "Brother, if you say these words that disobey your father, you will go to jail." ”

"It doesn't matter, I'm not going to stay in this kingdom anyway." Misaki said nonchalantly.

"What do you mean, not to stay in the kingdom?"

"On the surface, I was supposed to go back to the palace to tell you about it before the last shipment was shipped. However, you are showing up now, and I will say it right here. The last supplies were delivered by me myself, but instead of sending them to the border, I would carry them across the border desert. ”

"Crossing the desert at the border, do you have a fever? How to talk nonsense. Fuei put his hand on Misaki's forehead and smiled perfunctorily.

"I don't have a fever and I'm not kidding you. I'll be setting off before the sun goes down, and if you don't come with me, this should be the last time we'll talk. Misaki said as he looked at the sun as it was about to set, and there was a kind of anticipation in his eyes that he had never seen before.

"But crossing the desert is a capital offense, are you crazy?" Fu Rong struggled to control his emotions, keeping his voice low, afraid of alerting those around him.

"In my opinion, only those who stay here are crazy."

"What are you talking about?"

"Furong, the people here will get enough food even if they don't do anything. Staying on this land every day, except for eating and sleeping. Isn't this the same as a domestic animal? Although the livestock live comfortably, sooner or later they will be slaughtered. ”

"You're saying that in the near future, all of us here will die."

"I don't know, but I think my father must be hiding something from us by giving the order to ban crossing the desert. And are those supplies really given to us by the gods? Why do the gods feed us like domestic animals, and what is at the end of the desert? I think I've got to figure these things out, maybe I'll never come back, but I'd rather die in the pursuit of the truth than die here with so many regrets. ”

"Crazy, crazy. Brother, you're not kidding me. Fu Rong grabbed his arms and looked up at his resolute eyes.

"I know that you probably won't go with me, but if you don't go, then Yu Tianxiao won't go either. If that guy helped, I think crossing the desert would have been more effective with half the effort. ”

"Yu Tianxiao, who is that?"

"An ordinary citizen, but he will soon become the chief of the palace guards through his own strength. Fu Rong, although that guy may not be the best for you, he must be the person who likes you the most in the world, and I hope you can treat him well in the future. ”

"I don't care who Yu Tianxiao is, I just don't want my brother to leave my side. Why do you have to cross the desert, even if there is another world, will it be better than living now? ”

"And what's there to be nostalgic for here?" Misaki asked rhetorically, making Fuei speechless for a while.

"There are thousands of people who admire, noble status, a life of good food and clothing, and gorgeous palaces. I'm sorry, I'm not interested in any of this, I just want to know where I came from, what is the meaning of existence, and where does my true home belong? Misaki turned around as he spoke, slowly walking towards the last supply cart.

"Mizumiya Mizaki, if you dare to leave here, I will go back and tell my father, you can't leave it no matter what." Fu Rong threatened his back.

But Misaki didn't say anything, didn't look back, and didn't wave at her. In the fiery sunset, his figure grew smaller and smaller, but his back grew larger and larger, and it was not until he disappeared into the horizon in the truck that Fu Rong realized that he had been kneeling for a long time.

Until this disaster happened, Mizumiya Mitsuzaki did not return. No one knows where he went, no one knows if he managed to cross the desert, and no one even knows if he is still alive? The only thing he knows is that Mizumiya Mitsuzaki made the best choice in the first place.

I don't know if it's because I'm about to die, but these images suddenly appeared in Fu Rong's mind. She really regretted that she didn't go with her brother in the first place. Even if you die of thirst in the desert in the end, you don't have to live a day of fear like now. At the same time, one cannot help but wonder why the gods clearly want to give the kingdom food to live and bring the disaster of destruction to the kingdom.

Constantly breathing in the breath of decay, Fu Rong felt as if something viscous liquid was dripping on his face. Fu Rong slowly opened his eyes and found that Tianxiao was riding on his two laps, looking down at himself. At this time, his face was like ashes, his eyes were all white, and the surface of his skin was covered with bulging and blackened blood vessels, which had become exactly like a zombie. The only difference is that the corners of his mouth are raised upwards, as if he is smiling, and that expression seems to say that he has finally kissed you.

Within two seconds, Tianxiao opened the car door and rushed out. Fu Rong didn't get out of the car to chase him because she knew he had reached his limit. Fu Rong immediately closed the car door and drove forward with his foot on the accelerator. In the rearview mirror of the truck, she saw Tianxiao running frantically chasing her, looking like the group of zombies, and she was about to catch up with the back of the truck. Fu Rong stepped on the accelerator and threw him off little by little, until he disappeared from his field of vision, and Fu Rong was still worried that he would continue to chase me, so he didn't give the accelerator at all.

It wasn't until noon that a trace of green smoke came out of the front car cover, and Fu Rong let go of the accelerator, and then carefully observed the surroundings, and there didn't seem to be any zombies, so he stopped the car and let the engine cool down for a while.

I don't know when others don't feel sad when they leave in front of their eyes. Maybe I've lost too many people lately, cried too much, and I'm a little tired. I still know that even crying doesn't change anything, and in short, I have forgotten when I last cried.

In order to ensure safety, Fu Rong took out the binoculars. Look around. To her disbelief, she suddenly saw a tent. Two men and a woman were eating barbecue outside the tent, chatting and laughing.

"I'm not kidding." Fu Rong muttered to himself and immediately drove over. As the truck got closer to them, they seemed to sense something, and they all looked over to the truck.

"Are you crazy?" Less than five meters away from them, Fu Rong stopped the truck, got out of the car and rushed over. "Are you scared stupid by zombies? Unexpectedly, for most of the day, without any cover, leisurely eating barbecue. What if the zombies show up in a while? Before you pack your things and get into my truck, I'll take you to a safe place. ”

"Good!" The woman shouted, looking almost thirty.

"Okay, just hurry. I really don't know how you have survived so long, or if I am hallucinating. Fu Rong put his hand on his forehead and said helplessly.

"It's so cute!" The woman's excited shouting made Fu Rong suddenly wonder a little. "Wait a minute, what are you going to do?" Before I could react. The woman jumped more than ten meters in a standing long jump and came to Fu Rong's side, and hugged Fu Rong tightly in her arms. "Such a cute girl, can you let your mother hug her for a while?"

"Hey, what do you want to do?" Fu Rong struggled hard, but it had no effect at all, the woman was like a python entangled in its prey, the more Fu Rong wanted to struggle, the tighter she held it.

"Let go of me, I'm going to suffocate." Fu Rong shouted with difficulty, almost squeezing his voice out of his throat.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The woman seemed to have finally discovered Furong's pain, slowly let go of her, and then put her face on Furong's shoulder.

"Jiaxin, I didn't expect you to lack love, it's all because our brothers don't usually notice." A man sat next to him and said.

"Hmph, just your face that is poured with sulfuric acid is considered plastic surgery, and you still want to give me love, please find a black cloth to cover it, so that I can look at your face less and leave something in my stomach?" The woman looked at the man with disdain, and then immediately looked at Fu Rong with a smile, pinching her face, "But, this cute little baby, can you tell my mother your name?" ”

Fu Rong slapped down her hand that was pinching her face, and said dissatisfiedly, "It's okay to wander outside and not cherish your life, you don't even know me, you'd better tell me that you have amnesia, otherwise I will go to the palace, and I will punish you for the crime of disrespect." ”

"Wanggong, what are you talking about, hasn't it been destroyed by the zombie hordes a long time ago?" A man said with a puzzled look on his face.

"Hmph, as long as there is still a breath of Mizumiya Furong, the kingdom will be immortal." Fu Rong patted his chest and said proudly, "However, living in a place without cover like this is really a good means of suicide." You better hurry up and pack your things, my truck should be able to carry two people on the roof, you should hurry back to the underground palace with me, where is it safe to protect you from harm. ”

"The underground palace, I see." The woman said interestingly, looking at Fu Rong.

"You're not stupid by zombies, don't you feel scared at all. Of course, the most important thing is that you haven't even seen my name. If you don't need your cornea, can you donate it to someone in need? ”

"You guy." A man stood up dissatisfied, but the woman gave him a color and sat him down.

"Ah, I'm sorry for my little princess, I really don't believe such a cute little baby will appear in front of me. For a while, I thought it was a hallucination, and I asked my little princess to be magnanimous and please forgive me. ”

Although the woman's speech was very greasy, like a chocolate cake with too much cream. However, the words are not rough, and Fu Rong's mood has improved a little. She put her hands on her waist and said with a magnanimous expression, "Well, it is the duty of this princess to protect the citizens. Fu Rong waved his hand, "Then quickly pack your things and get ready to get into the car." ”

"My little princess, can I ask you to change your clothes before leaving?" The woman said as she pulled out a black tights next to the barbecue.

"It's not okay to change your clothes, but it's not the right time, if the zombies suddenly appear..."

"Little Gongju, you don't have to worry. There are no zombies around us. The woman said with a smile.

"Huh?"

"It's not a coincidence that we've been able to wander around like this without being chased by zombies, but there's a reason."

"You're saying you have a way to hide from zombies."

"Uh-huh." The woman nodded vigorously. "Of course, I can't tell you this secret yet, and I'll tell you when I get to your so-called underground palace, okay?"

"If you really have a way to deal with zombies, you are the savior of the kingdom, and I will definitely ask my father to let the three of you enjoy the treatment of the royal family." Fu Rong said excitedly holding the woman's hand.

"I know, I'm glad that Xiao Gongju can still think of saving us when he passes by in such a dangerous situation. We can't thank you enough. ”

"That's what I'm supposed to do as a princess." Fu Rong smiled shyly, then got into the car with the woman's black tights, sat in the driver's seat, and at the same time pressed the horn to urge the three of them to hurry up and get in the car and prepare to leave.

But I didn't expect them to pack up tents and barbecue grills and other items, the two men jumped directly into the truck box to the top, and the woman sat directly in the co-pilot's seat.

"Aren't you going to pack your bags?"

"No, it's all inconsequential. Okay, my little princess, you change your clothes first, let's hurry up. ”

"Oh." Fu Rong nodded, and quickly changed his clothes, but he didn't expect this dress to look big, but it was just right to wear, and it was very comfortable, no wonder the three people in front of him were wearing this kind of clothes.

"We're going." Fu Rong said as he stepped on the accelerator and headed back to the original route.

Along the way, the woman's head rested on Fu Rong's shoulder, making her feel weird.

"Let me make it clear that I'm not interested in the kind of things between girls and girls." Fu Rong said as he drove.

"Me too, it's just that you are so cute, I can't help it. But Xiao Gongju, you seem to have a weird smell on you. ”

"That's because I slammed the basin on myself."

"Huh?"

"It's not to avoid zombies, with this unpleasant smell on the body, the zombies in the distance won't smell the smell and chase after them."

"I see."

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

"How so? It's just a pot of on myself, and I don't know how many times I've poured something worse than on myself. ”

"Anything more disgusting than?"

"Well, so I hope you won't see that thing for the rest of your life, although that's impossible."

Fu Rong frowned, listening to the clouds in a fog, always feeling that the conversation was not on the same channel. "By the way, I haven't asked your name yet. My name is Tomei Mizumiya, and I am Her Royal Highness, the first princess of the kingdom, what is your name? ”

"My name, I don't remember, just call my mother as a little princess." The woman licked Fu Rong's cheek as she spoke, causing her to break out in a cold sweat.

"You're like this, I'm going to put you in prison when I get back."

"Haha, it's so cute that you look nervous." The woman smiled contentedly.

After driving for a while, the car suddenly ran out of gas. It is also too many times to slam on the accelerator on the road, resulting in a serious waste of gasoline.

"Is there no oil? What a disappointment, little princess, how far are we from the underground palace. The woman asked, putting her arms around Fu Rong's waist.

"Actually, we are already standing on the top of the underground palace, but the underground palace only has two gates, the south gate and the north gate, and we are now in the east of the underground palace. And pay attention to your hands, I'm a princess, you hug me like this, three years in the cell. Fu Rong said and looked at the cargo box of the truck, how could this truckload of materials be transported to the south gate.

"It's already here." The woman said as she looked at another man, who looked at the ground for a moment and nodded.

"Alright, let's start our cleanup."

"Huh?" Fu Rong tilted his head sideways and looked at the woman.

I saw that the woman's gloves were rapidly deformed, and suddenly changed from fibrous to full of metal. Then she jumped into the air, shouting in her mouth, "Super Rank Seventh-Order Attack, Tianchong Overlord Fist." ”

I felt a huge pressure falling from the sky, and then the woman smashed her fist to the ground, setting off a sandstorm. Fu Rong was blown by the wind and closed his eyes. Then I heard the sound of the ground cracking, and before I could stand up, the woman jumped over with a standing long jump, and a princess jumped into the air with Furong in her arms, and Furong hugged her tightly in fright.

"Are you human?" When the woman landed and put me down, Fu Rong hurriedly asked her.

"I am neither a man nor a god, I am the Heavenly Punisher." The woman's expression suddenly turned cold as she spoke.

"Heavenly Punisher." Furong Machinery repeated these three words, but he didn't have time to think about the meaning of these three words. Taking the position where the woman hit just now as a dot, all the places with a radius of nearly twenty meters collapsed.

Suddenly, the entire underground palace was exposed to broad daylight.

"What are you doing, you smashed the ground, what are we going to do when the zombies come?" Fu Rong looked at the woman angrily, wanting her to give herself a perfect explanation.

"I deliberately smashed the ground so that the zombies could kill these people." The woman smiled coldly, looking at the hole with a radius of twenty meters as if she were looking at her own masterpiece. At the same time, a man fired a red flare into the sky.

"What are you talking about, let the zombies kill these people."

"Well, literally. If there's something wrong, you shouldn't call these guys humans, you should call them domestic animals. But don't worry, you are not a domestic animal, you are a pet I personally selected. Mom will definitely protect you from the land of right and wrong in Asya, so don't move around. ”

"What are you talking about, and I'm not a pet, I'm a princess of the kingdom. Under one person, the princess of the kingdom admired by all people. Untouchables! Fu Rong said and punched him with all his life's strength, but the woman was like playing with a house. As soon as he raised his hand, he caught his full blow, and then clenched his fist lightly, so that Fu Rong's tears of pain were about to flow out.

"Although you are a little princess here in your mother's place, Mizumiya Fuei hopes you understand. Without me, you are nothing. Don't say that you, even this entire kingdom, are all the property of the Holy Alliance. The creatures here, the environment here, everything here are all prepared for the Great Angel's advent plan. The Holy Alliance will last forever, and the Holy Alliance will last forever. The woman shouted with her right hand raised.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Fu Rong looked at the woman in front of him with some fear, this feeling was like a newborn baby seeing a vicious dog for the first time.

"I'm sorry, my second grade disease is done again. My little darling, you don't have to be afraid of anything, just stay with your mother. The woman said and hugged Fu Rong tightly in her arms.

Everything in front of him and the language were beyond his comprehension, and Fu Rong felt so strange about this world for a while. Fu Rong had no idea and did not resist. It would be nice if it was just a dream, and now just wait for the dream to wake up. Fu Rong closed his eyes, believing that soon everything would pass.

I don't know why, although I was hugged tightly by a person, I didn't feel warm. Instead, I felt a chill envelop my whole body, as if something was about to be sucked away. Fu Rong opened her eyes in fear and saw the woman's expression of enjoyment, and at the same time she saw thousands of zombies pouring into the underground palace from the hole like a flood, and the sound of panic and wailing from the people came from underground.

Fu Rong knew that it was a dream, otherwise how could the zombies pass by as if they couldn't see themselves. Perhaps, even this disaster is a dream. How could there be zombies, and how could he execute his sister with his own hands? It must have been that I was too tired from work, so I had a nightmare. Fu Rong thought this and closed his eyes, the noisy sound seemed to be gradually disappearing, and the sky and earth became more and more quiet, as if he was the only one left. Suddenly, I seemed to fly, and my body suddenly became lighter, but I quickly fell, and at the same time felt a lot of pain.

Fu Rong opened his eyes, and at this time he was already lying on the sand. And just now the woman was already half-kneeling on the ground, and a foul-smelling red liquid kept gushing out of her chest. Furong felt something burning in midair, and she looked up to see a young girl levitating in the air with two sharp blades on her feet. She wears a beautiful and wide kimono, and even during the day, she shines like the North Star in the night sky. The flames around her fluttered around her like cherry blossoms, and her red hair made people feel the afterglow of the setting sun. Angel—that's the first word that comes to mind when Fu Rong sees her.

Wait a minute, whether you are in a dream or in heaven.
