The deserted city originally had another name, but because the dust was sealed for too long, Zhejiang and Zhejiang were forgotten in memory, because of its desolation, its emptiness, and was called the barren city.

Rows of towering ruins of buildings, covered with thick ice and snow dust, the lights of the past have long been gone, so they are replaced by dim ruins in the cold wind, leaving traces of the past civilization.

The concrete-paved road is full of potholes, some of which have been damaged by insects, and some of which have been damaged by human shells; On the side of the street, where broken glass pieces are strewn, there are many collapsed brands such as "Push Oil", "Foot Bath", and "Massage".

Bodies can be seen everywhere, like abandoned cars on the side of the road, all over the place, no one knows how they died, and they don't know whether they were once prominent officials and businessmen, or migrant workers who sold coolies, and now they are treated the same, and the corpses are all on the streets, and even their clothes have been recorded by other survivors.

Because of the cold temperature, most of the corpses did not have time to decompose, so they froze into ice cubes, but there was not much stench of rotting flesh, but the naked corpses everywhere, including men and women, old and young, one after another, were also shocking and shivering.

Especially at night after the glimmer of light has disappeared, walking on the streets strewn with naked corpses, under the halo of torches, corpses of various shapes and expressions, staring, disemboweled, hanging on the wall, headless...... It's terrifying.

Survivors who have fled to the plant forest say that the deserted city is not a dead city, and that in those dark corners, in the dark underground garages, a group of cannibals live in a strange and terrifying place.

They feed on culling the living, and when they are so hungry that they can't do it, they will also tear up the ice corpses on the ground, in short, they will never let go of anything that is alive and can be eaten.

Others say that they are no longer human, and that the insects and animals are undoubtedly "just to live and lose their humanity, and sometimes they can't even cook it, and they are devoured alive."

Therefore, few people are willing to come here to look for food, there is nothing here, only these terrifying things that are not human or ghost, Chu Yunsheng and his party are probably the only outsiders in the past few months, so when they hold torches "When they enter this city of the former civilization and now hell, in the darkness, the sneaky shadows attracted by the fire are hidden and hidden among the buildings like dark beasts."

Walking in such a deserted city like a black barrel, Lao Sun's broken map is useless, just like exploring in a strange dark forest, no one knows whether it will be a corpse or what will be after the next corner.

Estimating from the number of human corpses on the ground, "There must have been a large number of humans gathered here, otherwise if there were really cannibals, they would have been eaten up, and this place would eventually be the same as countless cities" still let the bugs break through, and it was too late to even break through.

The people who had fled from the plant forest were only those who had reached the deserted city, and by the time they arrived, it was a dead ruin.

History drowned it, and darkness forgot about it, except for those who died, "no one knows what happened here, how many fights, tragedies and struggles there were, and just like countless cities, quietly disappeared into a corner of the dark world."

They chose a large bathing center as a temporary foothold, which was a helpless choice, this deserted city, it seems that this industry was very developed in the Sunshine Age, and it can be seen everywhere.

After several years of struggle between humans and insects, people gradually learned some knowledge of insects, whether there is fire or not, it has little effect on them, they can be at ease in the dark, but the fire can scare away some other animals, like man-eating rats, elusive degenerate beasts" and those cannibal humans hiding in dark corners, perhaps zài.

At the same time, fire, bringing light, giving warmth, cooking food flail ......, at any time, it is one of the origins of human civilization, but also one of the symbols, surrounded by the fire, always give people a sense of security, there is a sense of zài.

Standing on the top of the third floor of the bathing center, like a steel insect beetle statue, motionless, blood-red and sharp eyes staring coldly at the surrounding movements, under the firelight, its lightning spear is cold, if you accidentally break into here, look up and see it like a devil in the dark world, you can be frightened.

But for the people in the bathing center, it is as reassuring as a miracle weapon, and with it, even a mouse does not dare to approach half a step. , chose the deserted city, in addition to the fact that people in the plant forest rarely think of this, but also because the food they brought was no longer enough, and they didn't bring it right, and when they fled and broke through, they lost more than half, and now it is only enough for two meals, and they have to risk diarrhea.

You must find a new source of food, otherwise let alone meet insects, even if you are hungry, you will starve yourself to death, Chu Yunsheng is no exception, he also needs food.

But there is no way there is still food in this deserted city, unless they also go to eat people!

How to find food in the dark, Chu Yunsheng is a layman, his experience in this area is limited to the early days of Shencheng, and in the future, he basically does not worry about food, and with his skills in this area, he is not as good as Lao Sun and others.

These people gathered together, on the coffee table in the hall, and whispered about how to trap mice, how to find water, how to dig into the ground, and so on!

In the darkness in the distance, there were occasional roars of wild beasts, which were extremely penetrating, and the chirping of insects made Chu Yunsheng a little worried, indicating that this place was very close to the range of insects, and he was also a little relieved, at least the people in the plant forest would not come to touch the moldy heads of insects.

He turned to the second floor, avoided Muxijun and the Veiled Woman, and took the mute girl, who had awakened, to a separate room.

"Brother Chu, I heard them say, it's Xiaocao who is not good, can you forgive her?" The mute woman in the earth mask recovered very quickly, and in the dark of night, she was able to speak again.

She didn't dare to beg Chu Yunsheng to stay, because in her consciousness, when facing Chu Yunsheng, whether she wore a Tubi mask or not, she had a deep sense of inferiority.

"I'm leaving, it has nothing to do with her, I've told her several times along the way, and you know my identity, Xiaochuan, do you think I'm really the first person in the world, I'm just a lost dog!" A touch of self-deprecation appeared on Chu Yunsheng's face, and there was a faint touch of nowhere to speak in his eyes.

Xiao Chuan looked into his eyes, "I felt a pang in my heart, and I didn't know how to think of the scene when Chu Yunsheng was in the thatched hut that night, fell in a pool of blood, and died and was in pain."

"I'm an extremely dangerous person, you seem to be safe with me, but in fact, they will find me one day, and you can't resist it at all." Chu Yunsheng smiled and said.

"Is it the aliens? I've heard Xiaocao say it. Ogawa couldn't help but ask.

Chu Yunsheng nodded, did not continue the topic, and said with a straight face: "Xiaochuan, what I said below, you have to remember it carefully, you can't make a mistake in a word, let alone forget it." ”

Xiao Chuan saw that Chu Yunsheng suddenly became extremely solemn, and he panicked in his heart, she was an ordinary girl who suddenly gained strength after all.

But when he heard Chu Yunsheng say word by word, he said slowly and clearly: "Among the five kinds of energy, the one you use is earth energy, I call it earth energy, and the energy is super stable" The first step is to establish a channel to feel it, the earth mask has already helped you do it, and the second step is to use the energy to transform your body, and the transformation of the earth energy is divided into three steps, the first step is ...... Finally, in terms of application, the Tubi mask may come with some "I don't know much, I can only rely on yourself." ”

"Do you understand?" Chu Yunsheng looked at her and seemed a little dazed, and asked.

Ogawa nodded, then shook his head again.

"I'll say it again, remember it with your heart,............" Chu Yunsheng briefly recounted the cultivation methods of the earth vitality in the ancient book.

"Remember" Xiao Chuan didn't expect that what Chu Yunsheng taught her was a cultivation secret method, such a precious thing, I heard that only foreign races have it, and even the previous master did not have.

"Just remember, in addition, the Tubi mask, if I guess correctly, after the two are combined, there will be a greater secret, and its power will not be lower than those aliens" If it is you who gets it in the end, you have to remember my sentence "No matter how powerful the power is, what is yours is yours, not yours is not after all, just do your best." Chu Yunsheng nodded, with his own experience.

"I don't have that skill." Ogawa whispered with low self-esteem.

"Xiaochuan, when you put on this Tubi mask, some things are doomed, if you don't go to him, he will come to you, and the two will eventually become one, so whether it's for Xiaocao or for yourself, you have to become stronger, you have to become stronger!" Chu Yunsheng said in a cold tone, when the dumb girl became the new master, she was destined to face the conflict of the Dongbi master, and if she didn't want to die, she had to become strong quickly. , The Dongbi Lord, who has already unified the Eastern and Western Plant Forests, even if Chu Yunsheng personally kills him now, the Dongbi Lord, who owns the entire Plant Forest Legion, will definitely be able to seriously injure him before he dies, not to mention whether the Fire Clan behind him will suddenly appear. If not, he wouldn't have time to wait for the Dumb Girl to recreate a new plant forest, and finally work together to destroy the East Lord.

Whether it was a serious injury or time, it was extremely important to Chu Yunsheng, and he couldn't bear it, he still had his own more important things to do, so in the end, the only thing that could help her, Lao Sun and the others was to teach her the exercises to cultivate.

"Also, Mu Xijun put a mask on you in order to use you to kill the Dongbi Lord, she has too many thoughts, in the future, before you fight the Dongbi Lord, you can trust her, because your goals are the same, but after that, you still have to be careful, but she is not the most dangerous person, the most dangerous is the woman wearing the veil, she is also one of the alien races, even I don't understand which side she belongs to." Chu Yunsheng lowered his voice and said.

"Isn't she a vixen, I heard that she used to seduce ............" Ogawa blushed and didn't continue.

"Fox ghost, she knows better than anyone else. By the way, there is also Lao Sun, maybe you don't like this person and think he is an out-and-out villain, but he is now the only helper you can rely on, Lao Sun and the mouth team have a characteristic, no matter how evil they are to outsiders, but as long as you and him are your own people, he is a good person to you, and after you recreate the plant forest, you can let him be the leader of the mask man and contain Mu Xijun and the veil woman. Chu Yunsheng shook his head and said.

Xiao Chuan nodded meekly, her poor head was simpler than Chu Yunsheng, and she seemed a little powerless to control in the face of the complex and intricate relationship.

"You go and let Lao Sun come up." Chu Yunsheng thought about it, and didn't seem to have anything else to say, so he said goodbye to Lao Sun again, and then prepared to leave quietly.

A hint of gloom flashed in Xiao Chuan's eyes, and he walked to the door and asked in a low voice, "Will you come back?" ”

"Maybe, maybe not." Chu Yunsheng finally said.

When the glimmer first appeared the next day, Chu Yunsheng carried a few mice that Lao Sun brought back with people in his arms, and quietly left the deserted city, Lao Sun was very grateful to Chu Yunsheng for recommending him as the new Mask Man Supervisor, for him, from a small squad leader, even more than a few levels, to become a Governor, in the past, it was simply unimaginable.

Chu Yunsheng re-proofread the direction of east, west, north and south, in order to compare the direction of the ancient book and the fourth map, if he did not learn geography wrong, the direction pointed directly to the city of Tianfu, the military, economic, and cultural powerhouse of the Western Kingdom, and the capital of Shu!

And not so long ago, it was still in the northwest direction, and it only took a few days to move so far quickly!

Chu Yunsheng couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, a chaotic dark world, the only one who could do this was a flying machine!

What kind of friend is it? You can ride back and forth in a flying machine!?

Chu Yunsheng couldn't figure it out, in order to prevent the other party from running around again, and in order to save time, he took the risk of letting the underworld spread his wings, carry him on his back, and fly into the dark sky
