Chapter 287: The Great Enemy is Now
The centipede blocked the door to the conference room, raised its head, and then squirted a green liquid at the trio.
The three of them immediately dispersed, and the green liquid squeaked and foamed white as it sprayed on the ground.
"What are you waiting for!" After Bai Zhi finished speaking, she was the first to pull the trigger.
The three of them concentrated their firepower and beat the centipede blocking the door.
The moment the centipede was shot, it let out a weird laugh, and then its body softened and stopped moving.
The three of them immediately looked back to back, carefully shining their flashlights on every corner of the room, fearing that there would be that kind of centipede.
After looking for a while to make sure that there was no second centipede, he turned his head to look at the centipede on the ground.
He observed for a while: "I've seen a lot of centipedes before, but I've never seen such a big one. ”
Tang She looked closer: "This reminds me of the first time I saw edge insects under the microscope." ”
Bai Zhi asked, "Is this a marginal worm?" ”
Tang She shook his head and said, "I thought it was the larvae of the marginal worm, because Zhan Tianya said at the time that from the microscope, the appearance of the marginal worm is like a very biological discovered by the Department of Paleoscience in the early years, and they are called putrefaction centipedes." ”
"I remember, Director Zhan did tell me about the putrid centipede before, exactly like what he described, and the cry was like human laughter, which sounded harsh and weird. ”
Tang She stepped forward and took a photo of the putrid centipede: "Just take the photo back to Zhan Tianya." ”
At the moment when the shutter was pressed and the flash flashed, countless blurred figures appeared around the three of them, but the three of them were unaware.
●
At the same time that Tang She, Xingshu and Bai Zhi killed the putrid centipede, Tang Anshu and the others also walked into the ruins of the desert.
Looking at these strange-shaped houses in their eyes, everyone was left with surprise and doubt.
"What the hell are these houses?" Yexin looked around as she walked, "Never seen before?" ”
Raimaru took a few steps and looked back, for fear that the woman named Aiqi would appear again.
Raimaru said absentmindedly, "Maybe this is the underworld?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense." Tang Anshu frowned and said, "I said it, don't associate it with gods and ghosts because of things that are outside the scope of your cognition, that is to scare yourself." ”
Lei Maru approached Tang Anshu: "But, you also saw it, the woman before, you can't see it, I can see it, she also said that there are other worlds, how can you explain it?" ”
Tang Anshu stopped and said: "Let's put it this way, if you appeared hundreds of years ago and killed someone with a submachine gun in your hand, in the eyes of the ancients, you are a person with divine power and spells, and they will believe that you claim to be an immortal." ”
Raimaru thought about it and suddenly realized, "Oh, I see. ”
At this time, Yexin pointed to a pile of sand next to her and said, "What is that?" Looks like a car? ”
Tang Anshu stepped forward, stood in front of the sand pile, and looked at the yellow sand on the surface carefully: "It seems to be a car, but it is different from the cars we have seen." ”
When everyone gathered around, Hu Shen said impatiently: "Hurry up, we have to hurry up and get to the ancient tower." ”
Everyone had to reluctantly leave the car buried in the yellow sand, and originally wanted to go in and take a closer look.
After walking about a hundred meters ahead, Tang Anshu suddenly felt something, and he subconsciously stopped: "Don't move." ”
The rest of the people also stopped abruptly and looked at him.
Hu Shen asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Tang Anshu said: "Do you feel that the surroundings are shaking? ”
As soon as Tang Anshu said this, everyone felt that the ground was indeed shaking slightly, and this vibration made Tang Anshu, Yexin, Benzoin, and Raimaru think of the headless monster in the shipwreck graveyard, and they couldn't help but immediately look around, for fear that that thing would emerge from some ruin.
Tang Anshu said: "Stick to the ruins next to you, walk slowly, don't make a sound." ”
Everyone followed behind Tang Anshu and walked forward, the further they went, the more obvious the shaking of the ground became, and finally, after turning a ruined building, Tang Anshu saw the headless monster with heavy steps and a group of zombies beside him.
Benzoin gasped when she saw this: "Oh no." ”
Hu Shen also looked at the behemoth in surprise: "What is that?" ”
Le Zhengxian asked in a low voice, "This is the monster you encountered before?" ”
Tang Anshu nodded and said, "Yes, that's it." ”
Le Zhengxian looked at it for a while, then retracted his head: "Why don't you have a head?" ”
Tang Anshu said: "You ask me, who do I ask?" Who knows what it is, but if that thing finds us, even if the zombies around him find us, they'll chase us until they kill us. ”
As soon as he said this, Raimaru leaned over: "Didn't you say that you don't believe in the ghosts and gods?" Then you still say it's zombies. ”
Tang Anshu looked at Lei Maru: "If you don't speak, no one treats you as a dumb person." ”
Benzoin pushed Raimaru away: "Shut up, what now?" ”
Tang Anshu said: "This thing can't be killed easily, and the most troublesome thing is the zombies around." ”
Hu Shen pondered for a moment and said, "Dingfeng, take out the rune paper in the thousand machine bags." ”
Zhang Dingfeng took out a stack of rune paper from the thousand machine bags and handed it to Tang Anshu's eyes.
Tang Anshu looked at the rune paper and asked, "What is this?" ”
Hu Shen explained: "This is the real Chenzhou talisman, that is, the corpse control talisman, as long as these talismans are pasted on the zombie's head, the zombie cannot move." ”
Tang Anshu said: "Master, this thing may not be useful. ”
Hu Shen has his own opinions: "I also said when I was in Wengcheng before, that kind of formation is useless on weekdays, but it can play a role in this place, maybe this rune paper is the same." ”
Le Zhengxian took the rune paper: "Even if these rune papers are useful, but there are so many zombies, it's impossible to paste them one by one, right?" ”
Hu Shen just said: "I'll talk about it when it's critical." ”
Tang Anshu looked at the building next to him: "It's better to be like this, we have been walking for so long, we are tired and thirsty, it is better to go in and rest for a while, recuperate our spirits, and find a way to deal with those monsters by the way." ”
After hearing this, Hu Shen turned his head to look at the headless strange man in the distance, originally he insisted on moving forward, but now in this situation, he had to listen to Tang Anshu's arrangement, so he had to say: "Okay, then take a rest first." ”
Tang Anshu immediately led everyone to rush into the window next to him.

Yongcheng, Eight Kings Courtyard Osmanthus House.
Even if Fu Guodong changed into civilian clothes, there was no one up and down the Eight Kings Courtyard who didn't know him, but seeing him so indifferent, it was not easy to say hello.
Fu Guodong walked straight to the gate of the courtyard of the osmanthus house, but found that the courtyard door was open, and through the door, he could see the table placed under the osmanthus tree, as well as two small stools, one of which had been sitting on the stool for a long time.
Fu Guodong stopped slightly, changed his smile and walked into the courtyard, hugged his fists and said, "Mr. Leng." ”
Leng Rui immediately got up and stretched out his hand: "General Fu." ”
Fu Guodong immediately held Leng Rui's hand, and when Leng Rui called himself a "general" instead of a "big handsome", Fu Guodong knew that Leng Rui was not here to embarrass himself.
After Fu Guodong sat down, Leng Rui poured a cup of hot tea: "General, I drink clear tea." ”
Fu Guodong smiled: "Although I don't like to drink tea, I can change the taste." ”
In a few words, the two of them made their own attitudes, the meaning of Leng Rui's words was very clear, if you want to talk about it, you must follow his way and accept his request, and Fu Guodong immediately said that it is completely okay.
Leng Rui picked up the teacup: "The general is completely different from the legend. ”
Fu Guodong pretended to be puzzled: "What is the legend of me?" ”
Leng Rui smiled: "It's a pedantic feudal and selfish person." ”
Fu Guodong took a sip of tea and said, "How come?" If I were that kind of person, I wouldn't have asked Mr. Guan to manage Yongcheng for me. ”
Leng Rui said: "So, the general knew that Mr. Guan was our person early on?" ”
"No, I didn't know at first." Fu Guodong shook his head and said, this is the truth.
Leng Rui asked, "Oh? That? ”
Fu Guodong explained: "What he did after coming to Yongcheng made me realize that he should be your person. ”
Leng Rui smiled: "We? ”
Fu Guodong immediately said: "Haha, I'm sorry, I'm used to it." ”
Leng Rui said: "Now that the situation in the country is very good, you and I are sitting at the same table drinking tea, so don't divide each other anymore." ”
Fu Guodong nodded and said, "Of course, of course, Mr. Leng saw me this time, what is the specific purpose?" ”
Leng Rui said: "The Seventeenth Army is coming, I have roughly estimated, it will only be half a month, have the coalition forces of the five provinces urged you to prepare for war?" ”
Fu Guodong said: "It's not a secret, the telegram is like a snowflake, but I can't hold on, after all, there is a new army of Fenghua outside the city." ”
Leng Rui said: "It doesn't matter, after the Seventeenth Army arrives outside Yongcheng, you will announce the change of banner, don't act rashly during this time, first stabilize the coalition forces of the five provinces, so as not to cause more trouble." ”
Fu Guodong nodded: "What Mr. Leng said is exactly the same as what I thought. ”
Leng Rui hesitated for a moment, and then said: "In addition, there is another matter, which is related to the Chamber of Commerce and the Concession. ”
Fu Guodong was stunned for a moment, and asked tentatively: "I don't understand what Mr. Leng means?" ”
Leng Rui Zhengse said: "Our ultimate goal is to recover the concession from the foreigners!" A hundred years of shame for the people of the Snow Country! ”
What Leng Rui said at this time was completely contrary to what he said to Rong Pingye and Jiang Boqi.
Fu Guodong's face changed: "This ......"
Leng Rui said: "What? General Fu thinks it's inappropriate? ”
Fu Guodong shook his head and said: "No, it's just that I think it may not be the time now, and besides, we still have to rely on the Chamber of Commerce in many places." ”
Leng Rui said: "Even if the foreigner is the father of the Chamber of Commerce, as long as the concession is recovered and the foreigner is driven away, the Chamber of Commerce will naturally follow the rules, I have calculated, in terms of troops, we have an absolute advantage, and we have the strength to take back Yongcheng Xingang, and the foreigners have to take care of Shanghai, and they lack skills." ”
Fu Guodong still hesitated.
Leng Rui said again: "It's not a secret, General Fu, even if the countries send a note to our garrison representatives at that time, we can start negotiations under the premise of having an absolute advantage, just like on the battlefield, we have the advantage, and the enemy will want to negotiate, so no matter what, we must let the foreigners see our determination first." ”
Fu Guodong was not a fool either, and immediately asked a key question: "Okay, so how to recover?" And how? Who to let do it? Is it my troops, or the 17th Army, or the Fenghua New Army? ”
