Chapter Seventy-Three: After the Frenzy
The next day.
After Su Yue and the other nine people went ashore, they were silent one by one, collecting the branches destroyed by the zombie army.
Not far away, Zhou Zhiruo was half-kneeling on the ground with a numb face.
Lao Zhou's expression was serene, his eyes were closed, and he was held in Zhou Zhiruo's arms without any breath.
After a while, a rudimentary wooden shelf was erected.
"Zhiruo!"
Hu Yifei gently walked to Zhou Zhiruo's side and called, "It's time to send Brother Zhou on the road." ”
Zhou Zhiruo's pale face instantly turned even whiter, and the corpse in her arms with long nails shook her head violently, and said weakly: "No, no! ”
"Zhiruo!"
Fluttershy, who already had a baby, and the others also stepped forward to comfort her.
But Zhou Zhiruo just hugged Lao Zhou's corpse and shook her head, deaf to the comforting voices around her.
"Hey!"
Su Yue sighed softly on the side.
After listening to their persuasion for a long time, Zhou Zhiruo slowly let go of her arms around Lao Zhou, and was lifted up by Fluttershy with a numb face, and the look in her eyes disappeared.
Su Yue knew this kind of look.
Grief is nothing more than the death of the heart, in this life, only one person is left, and that sudden loneliness will swallow everyone and make people crazy.
In his previous life, Su Yue had experienced it once.
Bang!
With Fluttershy's support, Zhou Zhiruo walked in front of Su Yue and knocked her head three times before Su Yue could react.
When Su Yue reacted, Zhou Zhiruo raised her head, and her forehead was already dark and green.
Just at a glance, you know how hard you just had.
"Get up."
Su Yue sighed slightly in his heart, the cause and effect of cultivators are so easy to end, which is also the reason why Su Yue is reluctant to let Hu Yifei call himself master.
After the catastrophe, the aura of heaven and earth slowly recovered, and the way of heaven slowly woke up.
Rather, it is an invisible cause and effect that is formed in the dark.
"From now on, you will be Su's sister."
Su Yue looked at Zhou Zhiruo and said in a solemn tone rarely.
Zhou Zhiruo's delicate body shook slightly, and in a place that the two of them couldn't see with the naked eye, there was a causal line that completely connected Su Yue and Zhou Zhiruo.
The red thread belonging to the empress on the causal line moved slightly, turned into a knife, and when it was about to be cut off, it seemed that it was clear that this cause and effect was not male and female cause and effect, and it also stopped gently, and continued to firmly entangle Su Yue's male and female causal line.
Like a king who occupies the mountain, he is extremely savage and domineering.
Half ring!
Da Shan, Xiao Liu and Xiao Zheng carried Lao Zhou's head, one supported Lao Zhou's waist, and the other carried Lao Zhou's heels.
The three of them gently placed the sleeping and peaceful old Zhou on the wooden frame.
Dashan then found a torch and handed it to Su Yue.
Syllable!
Su Yue gently rubbed out a trace of purple flame and lit the torch. Suddenly the torch burst into flames.
Su Yue glanced at Zhou Zhiruo, who was standing beside him with a pale face.
With a moving expression, he handed the torch to Zhou Zhiruo, and said softly: "Send your brother on the last ride." ”
Zhou Zhiruo numbly took the torch and looked at Lao Zhou lying on the wooden frame.
Half-banged, he threw the torch at the wooden shelf. Eyes closed.
"Wow-"
Crying again, he threw himself into Su Yue's arms, extremely desolate.
Su Yue's hands stiffened, and then gently patted Zhiruo's back in his arms, comforting him softly.
Rumble!
The purple flame lit by Su Yue was naturally not considered a mortal fire, and the wooden frame instantly burned brightly, and Lao Zhou lay on it, his expressionless face seemed to show a smile.
In Su Yue's spiritual eyes, he saw a phantom figure crawling up from Lao Zhou's body, smiling and waving at Su Yue, and then turned around and flew towards the ghost gate that had not yet dissipated.
In the blink of an eye, it has already appeared in the ancient city of Tongguan.
An hour later.
Holding a slightly old can of milk powder, Fluttershy said to Zhou Zhiruo, who was squatting on the ground, with a hint of apology, "I'm sorry Zhiruo, we only found this one that can be used to hold Brother Zhou's ashes." ”
Zhou Zhiruo's expression remained unchanged, and she quietly took the milk powder jar containing his brother's ashes and held him in her arms, as if she was holding her brother.
"What's next?"
After Da Zhuang and the others packed up their things here, they looked at Su Yue.
Su Yue sighed softly: "The wind and rain are shaking." ”
Several people also nodded a little heavily.
But isn't it, even on the banks of the Yellow River, there are zombies that cover the sky and the sun like locusts transiting, and other places can be better there.
Especially the so-called first-tier cities before the end of the world, the population in that city is not tens of millions.
After this outcome, the city was spared.
Didn't you see that even the distant Tongguan was left with a lonely ancient city wall after the zombie army.
The buildings of the city, large and small, were reduced to ashes by the onslaught of the lost army.
In contrast, the state of other cities can be imagined.
"However, at the very least, this emperor is a flat horse."
Su Yue suddenly said to everyone.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, isn't it, these zombies are almost all swarming towards the ghost gate in Shudu, isn't there no zombies on the road?
The crowd thought they should be happy at the moment.
But he was a little unhappy, after all, Lao Zhou was suddenly bitten to death by zombies in order to protect them, and Lao Zhou was suddenly happy before his bones were cold, isn't it too inhumane.
Su Yue was also silent.
Although the zombie army set off towards the Shudu realm, when this group of zombies climbed the mountains and waded through the water and just reached the halfway point, the ghost gate disappeared, and these zombie armies did not say that they were repaired in place, but would return the same way.
One more locust transit.
But.
"Shu is all over."
Su Yue sighed lightly in his heart, you must know that the number of survivors in Shudu is not less than the number of survivors in such first-tier cities, and there are tens of millions of survivors in the huge border of Shudu, but in the face of this zombie frenzy, there are not a few waves at all.
If they had detected the true identity of the white pillar of light before, they were afraid that those cultivators who thought they were the protagonists of the Mandate of Heaven would see what kind of treasure the pillar of light thought it was, and they would go to check it out, leading the other people who ate melons.
Those melon-eating masses who have not fully adapted to the end of the world still have a heart of watching the drama and blindly obeying in terms of accidents.
In that case, how many people in Shu can survive in front of this army of thousands of zombies crushed by black clouds?
If you don't wipe out, it's already an eye-opener.
"Let's go!"
After repairing in place for a while, Su Yue looked at the north and said lightly.
At least now the road to the imperial capital is in an idle period, and there will be no zombies encountered on the way.
As for when the zombies will turn their heads and fight back, Su Yue believes that the emperors of the previous life did not fall in front of the zombie frenzy, if this life fell because he changed history, then Su Yue felt that he could almost be regarded as a human sinner.
"Let's go."
After Su Yue finished speaking, he helped Zhou Zhiruo to the side like a wind that fell down.
Touched the latter's right hand, a cold one.
Su Yue urged a trace of aura, and Zhou Zhiruo, who had a numb expression on the latter, felt a heat on her body, and showed an ugly smile towards Su Yue and received: "Thank you, brother." ”
Su Yue smiled faintly.
Holding Zhou Zhiruo with one hand, he waved his hand towards Hu Yifei who was not far away.
Pointing in the direction of the imperial capital!
