Chapter 54: The So-called Unforgettable Arrow
In today's parlance, these dead and resurrected cannibalistic freaks are zombies. In today's interpretation, these freaks are ghosts resurrected from parasitic viruses.
Don't talk about the past, even now I don't know what to use to deal with this kind of resurrected zombie. This kind of zombie is not afraid of pain or death, and physical attacks are ineffective. Even if it is set on fire, it can fight against the flames for a while, causing a large number of deaths of living species.
The well-informed Liu Shenggu was also scared enough, although he knew about the existence of this kind of monster, he had never encountered it. This time, he knew the stakes were very high, and among all the people who died of the disease, I am afraid that the vast majority of them will be resurrected and become monsters.
As if to prove his conjecture, in the next hour, news of monster attacks began to spread from the major diseased areas. Attacks on the living continued, and messages of black death began to permeate the living area.
After the deliberations of the surviving people, the area where the epidemic was raging and man-eating monsters appeared was no longer suitable for habitation. All people should stay away from this area and travel far to report to the government so that the government can deal with the matter.
Just as discussed, the remaining living people, including Liu Shenggu himself, were evacuated and relocated. But because most people have been hit hard and physically and mentally exhausted, their migration is not too far. But, even then, they went to the official big city.
But after coming to the big city, they were surprised to find that the same infectious disease was spreading in this big city, and the man-eating monsters were rampant on the streets. There were fewer people alive in the city than they had escaped.
According to the people living in the city, whether it is in the city or outside the city, there is already a piece of blood and soil within a radius of a hundred miles, and it has become a purgatory on earth. Infectious diseases are covered, man-eating monsters are rampant, and a hundred miles away from the dead are about to become a dead place for no living people. And they, the remnants, will die sooner or later in it.
The infectious disease is still spreading, and no one knows how it spreads, not even Liu Shenggu. The man sent to report to the police did not return. Later generations learned that the official was actually successful, but the government did not believe in any man-eating monster, and instead of sending someone to confirm it, it arrested the official. According to the crime, it is a lie, to confuse the public, and to entertain the government.
Without the intervention of officials, hundreds of miles of blood and soil turned into hundreds of miles, forming a large circle around Wawu Mountain. In such a large area, it would be false to say that it did not attract the attention of the government. But this large-scale unknown terrorist lesion has scared the government, and it does not know what to do. The resort to measures in order not to cause panic throughout the country is the usual tactic of those in power.
Therefore, this place is not only a place of death, but also a forbidden place, no entry or exit, and isolation from the world.
It's weird, though. After being locked down for nearly a month, the residents of the originally dilapidated big city were infected and died one by one, and those who escaped from Wawu Mountain and were with Liu Shenggu, except for those who were found by zombies and eaten alive, none of these escapees died of infectious diseases.
With Liu Shenggu's ability, of course he knew the reason. These people who escaped from the mountains have a faint aura in their bodies. This aura is none other than the Vein of the Void Spirit, the water produced by that well!
The void spirit can prevent it, and the true spirit can cure the disease! This is something that Liu Shenggu has been confirming in the past month, and a month later, he has taken action for it.
At this time, no one vetoed the proposal to enter the mountain to find the spiritual vein, and it has become an urgent matter. Although the living can escape the disease, they cannot escape the attack of more and more zombies. If you get the vein of the true spirit, you will be able to subdue the zombies and change a land for survival.
In the early morning of one day, Liu Shenggu set off towards Wawu Mountain with a group of seven people who came voluntarily. With Liu Shenggu's calculations and discerning skills, they set off towards the Lost Soul of Wawu Mountain. According to Liu Shenggu, the vein of the true spirit is hidden hundreds of zhang underground, and there is no trace to be found, and there is no way to see it, let alone find the true spirit qi to save the danger.
However, in this place of Ecstasy, there is a section of true spirit veins that are exposed outside the mountain, exposed to the atmosphere. The origin of the ecstasy is also formed precisely because of the exposure of this section of true spiritual veins.
As long as the location of this true spiritual vein is found in the Ecstasy, no matter what is near this vein, it will be a holy elixir to save the calamity.
The location of the Lost Soul is a forbidden place that has been divided, and there is no need to find it at all, and the seven natives directly took Liu Shenggu in.
After entering the Ecstasy, a group of people suddenly fell into an endless confusion, a seemingly ordinary mountain road just walked out of the feeling of never ending, but the scenery along the way is completely different, and it seems that there is no repetition of the appearance of walking a section.
The eight of them walked for three days and three nights, observing the direction, but they were still on the periphery of the Ecstasy, and they didn't enter it at all.
In desperation, Liu Shenggu carried out yin and yang derivation. And this deduction actually caused a huge storm and catastrophe in the mountains.
The history of this catastrophe is also well remembered, although it is only a few words, but it also completely explains the horror of this catastrophe. A few seconds after Liu Shenggu's deduction, the wind and rain suddenly came, and for a while, the sky and the earth changed color, as if the sky was falling apart. The storm roared, and the towering trees rose upside down, rising into the air, and flying all over the sky. The rain poured down, and the torrents roared, like a fierce beast rushing. Everywhere they passed, everything was in shambles, and everything was destroyed.
Everywhere in the mountains, there are blank areas, large areas of the mountain are exposed in the rocky color, and the perennial evergreen green vegetation is dead in patches. Wawu Mountain once broke its muscles and bones, and it took more than ten years to put on green again.
In this catastrophe, evergreen plants were washed again. And those animals were even more deadly and injured. There are no living creatures in the ecstasy, but there are already corpses everywhere in the Wawu Mountain, up to the big mountain wolf mountain bear, down to the sparrow and mouse, all of them are in a tragic death.
Deep in the center of the catastrophe, Liu Shenggu and his party suffered the crisis of mass extinction. Eight people, after the catastrophe, two remained. And these two people naturally included Liu Shenggu, who crawled out under the corpses of their companions.
But although they were alive, both of them were seriously injured to varying degrees, and one of his legs was broken, and he could no longer stand and walk. Liu Shenggu lost an arm, and no stump was found in the vicinity.
This catastrophe was caused by the ecstasy of the soul. A hexagram is derived, causing a mutation of spiritual magnetism.
Liu Shenggu never thought that there would be such a catastrophe, and when he learned that it was a disaster caused by himself, he was once discouraged and did not dare to explore again.
Fortunately, there was another person who survived, and this person encouraged Liu Shenggu several times, and even cited disasters as an excuse to say that Liu Shenggu was a great man appointed by God to save all the people from danger, because only he could cause the color of heaven and earth to change, and he was a strange person with great power.
Inspired by this, Liu Shenggu finally went on his own, and according to the instructions of that hexagram, he broke away from the never-ending mountain road and entered the real hinterland of the Lost Soul.
As if he was really favored by God, Liu Shenggu followed the instructions of the hexagram all the way, was invincible, and went straight to the center of the ecstasy.
It is recorded in the official history that the heart of the ecstasy is like a paradise! Here, there are crystal lakes like mirrors, rare and exotic beasts, countless places of interest and ancient plants, rare and exotic treasures, thousands of precious resources, and fresh and pleasant air, which is really the scenery of the fairy world.
And it is also recorded in the wild history that the heart of the ecstasy is empty, and only a towering strange crystalline rock stands in it. The rock is swirling, sinuous and hollow, like a huge spring. This stone was once said to be an extraterrestrial flying stone, an out-of-bounds meteorite that fell into the mortal world.
However, in the illustration of the Yin and Yang Nine Wrong Palace, the center of the Lost Soul is recorded as a red cliff, a lifeless red land. And that red cliff is the vein of the true spirit that is hidden hundreds of zhang underground, occasionally exposed.
I don't know which of the three records is true and which is false, but in all the records, Liu Shenggu started the second hexagram since entering the mountain after arriving at the center of the Lost Soul Tai, and this hexagram is recorded in the diagram of the Yin and Yang Nine Wrong Palace, Liu Shenggu used that special hexagram style.
Not for anything else, just because Liu Shenggu was also afraid of the catastrophe that would be caused by another ordinary hexagram. And this special question, he didn't want to use it, but he was forced to do it.
After a hexagram, the heavens and the earth were distorted, and the center of the Ecstasy fell into boundless darkness for a time. And it seems that there is a gang wind blowing from an unknown region, and the whole ecstasy is full of gangqi and forest.
Then, a huge black sphere rose from the very center of the Ecstasy, and countless silver-blue currents swirled around the surface, and the wind swirled with a paralyzing feeling. After a while, Gangfeng reversed and swarmed into the black giant ball.
The wind swept through the ecstasy, and a large number of trees and rocks were rolled up and thrown into the black ball, which disappeared without a trace.
The black ball didn't exist for long, and in less than five minutes, it suddenly disappeared. At the same time, the trees and rocks that were rolled up were also disappeared, as well as Liu Shenggu!
However, it was not long before a meandering stream flowed out of the Ecstasy, penetrated half of Wawu Mountain, flowed to the outside world, and joined the river that surrounded the mountain.
And the people who drank the water of this river, who were afflicted by the disease, had a fever that subsided and turned red within a day, and basically recovered after three days. Those who have not been infected by the disease are not afraid of being killed when they encounter zombies. Zombies are afraid of the living who have drunk the water of the river!
The zombies who are not afraid of ordinary water, fire and lethal power can't escape the erosion of this river, and all the zombies contaminated by the river water instantly fall to the ground and return to the state of death and will not come back to life.
A massive counterattack lasted for three months, and all the zombies hiding were wiped out, and the corpses that fell to the ground were burned one by one. The epidemic has changed, and the zombie cannibalism has come to an end.
Three months later, a man with a broken leg came out of the Ecstasy. With his hands and countless efforts, he finally climbed out of Wawu Mountain, where he was found by the villagers who swept up the remnants of the zombies and brought them back.
It was only at this time that everyone learned that the stream flowing from Wawu Mountain came from Ecstasy, and the stream came from Liu Shenggu. At the same time, people also learned that Liu Shenggu had disappeared.
It didn't take long for the forbidden place to be unsealed and the outside world was reconnected. The first people to come in were not people from the government, but a group of weirdos in strange costumes. They immediately found the person with the broken leg who had witnessed everything with their own eyes, and asked them carefully to get all the information.
Soon after, in this city, a name called the Vector Otherworldly Flow was revealed. In order to commemorate Liu Shenggu, the local people combined this name with Liu Shenggu and called this event "the arrow of hard memory"!
