Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Empty City
"It's time to eatβ"
When Zhou Ping and Zhou Ji were about to gnaw on the bark, they saw Mrs. Gongzi walking over with a large pile of grilled fish.
The two of them were already so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs, and they hurriedly greeted them, looking at the oily fish.
"Give!" Zhou Yu saw that they were hungry like that, so he handed them out and said with a smile: "You guys eat first, and I'll go bake a little more." β
The two of them were not polite at all, took the fish and said, "Thank you, son!" β
Su Yong looked at the scene of the reversal of the master and servant curiously, and Zhou Yu explained: "They are extremely hungry, which makes Brother Su smile." Please come over and eat with Brother Su. β
Su Yong smiled and picked up a few grilled fish, "Su didn't eat in front of people, so he was out of company." Everyone knew his habits, and they were no longer surprised, and went with him.
Su Yong was eating grilled fish alone by the river, but it tasted like chewing wax, and fell into deep worry, since the beginning of the rush, his cold poison has been attacking almost every day, the pill given by the master has bottomed out, if he finishes eating, in addition to enduring the torture of the cold poison of the heart-devouring bones, he may not be able to save his life, he is not afraid of the death of a lonely soul and a wild ghost, but, if his body deteriorates like this, how can he refine the antidote pill for his sister?
"Mr. Su, I've brought you fish." Zhou Ping stood five steps away and bowed his head and said respectfully.
"I'm enough, thank you."
Zhou Ping knew that he had a strange temperament, and he didn't want to persuade him much, so he had to go back to his life. When he told Zhou Yu about Su Yong's reaction, Zhou Yu thought for a while, Su Yong's abnormal behavior and preoccupied appearance told him that this person must have something to hide from them, and I am afraid it will be difficult to solve.
"Mr. Su just eats so much, how can it be enough to fill his stomach?" Zhou Yu's voice sounded behind him.
Su Yong put down the veil, turned his head back to him and said, "Thank you for your concern, it's just that Su doesn't have much appetite today, so he can't eat much."
Zhou Yu pondered for a moment and said, "If Mr. Su has any difficulties, he might as well discuss with Zhou Yu, maybe he can help in the future."
Su Yong smiled helplessly, "Thank you for your kindness, it's just my difficulty, and no one can help." With that, he hugged his fists and retreated, leaving Zhou Yu in place to ponder the deep meaning of his words.
They arrived at a small city in Nanjun at dusk, and when they entered the city gate, they found that the city was barren and strange, with bare vegetation and no vegetation, and there was not even half a human figure on the road, and it was as dead and silent as a ghost town.
"Childe, this city is so weird." Zhou Ping became vigilant.
Zhou Yu didn't answer, he kept thinking about the vague breath in the air, where he had smelled it, and suddenly his whole body shuddered, and goosebumps rose all over his face, which was the sour smell from the pile of dead people.
After a closer look, the houses on both sides of the street were closed, covered with cobwebs, and there was no vegetation around them. He swallowed heavily from his throat and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid this is an empty city. β
Everyone suddenly realized that this place really didn't look like a popular person. Zhou Ji was puzzled: "Nanjun is the land under Liu Biao's jurisdiction, in recent years, there have been few wars, and the ministers are happy, how can there be such an empty city?" β
Zhou Yu said slowly: "The people of this city don't know why, they suddenly died overnight, although they have been dead for a long time, but looking at this situation, the news should not have spread. β
The atmosphere froze instantly.
"Zhou Lang...... Don't scare me......" Qiao Wan had goosebumps all over his body, and he moved a little closer to him, his voice trembling.
Zhou Yu hurriedly took her into his arms and gently stroked her back. The crowd turned a blind eye and was already numb.
Su Yong understood why he made this remark, this extremely corrupt smell has been fermenting for at least a month, not to mention that it is now a cold winter, which means that it is very likely that these corpses have been fermenting for more than several months, but why has no one come to clean up for months, no one has taken the news out, and no one outside has come in to find it?
He saw a well at the end of the street, so he pointed to it and said to Zhou Yu, "What is the situation in the city, just look at the water quality."
Zhou Yu nodded at him knowingly, and was about to go over there, Qiao Wan grabbed his sleeve, "Don't go over...... Somehow, her heart was beating fast, extremely uneasy, and she felt like something big was going to happen.
Zhou Yu knew that she was scared, so he stroked her hand and said, "Good, you wait here, I'll come back when I go and see," he glanced at Zhou Ping and Zhou Ji, "It's good to take care of Mrs. here."
"Subordinates obey!"
Seeing that he was resolute, Qiao Wan had no choice but to let go of his hand, and seemed to sigh: "Go and go back quickly." β
Zhou Yu and Su Yong walked towards the well together, and the further they went, the clearer the pungent smell became, and they had already determined in their hearts where the smell just now came from, and exchanged glances with each other. When I walked to the well, it was already stinking, and even if I was mentally prepared, when I looked down, I was still scared into a cold sweat-
Inside were all kinds of mutilated limbs, not even a complete corpse could be seen, the remains were almost decomposed, emitted a violent stench, and crawled with maggots......
Even though the two of them are used to seeing dead scenes, seeing this scene, their stomachs are a little overwhelmed, and they feel sour.
Su Yong looked at the wreckage carefully, his eyes became more and more frightened, these limb breaks were blurry and entangled, not as if they had been cut by a sharp weapon, but more like they had been torn off by life, he looked at Zhou Yu in horror, and saw that he looked surprised, it seemed that he should have also discovered this problem. Su Yong hurriedly said: "General, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time." β
Zhou Yu nodded, and immediately pulled him back, but when he turned around, he found that the place he came from was empty, and Qiao Wan and the others disappeared behind them silently......
The two of them stopped unconsciously, and Zhou Yu only felt that after a "buzz" in his head, it was blank for a moment.
"Damn it!" Su Yong was stunned for a moment, then rushed over there with a roar.
The ground is smooth, without any traces of blood or tokens left, they either disappeared in an instant between the lightning and flint, or they were taken away by someone without consciousness, the former is obviously unlikely, no one has such a high martial power to do it, if it is the latter, then ...... Are they drugged?
Just thinking about it, he only felt that his mind began to dizzy, and when he realized that he wanted to scream, he found that he couldn't make a sound at all, and he couldn't move, and he could only clearly feel that the strength of his whole body was being drained little by little......
At the last moment, he vaguely felt someone covering his mouth and nose, and then completely lost consciousness.
