Ancient Residence. Outside, the sun was shining and there was a lot of life.

Zhang Chen's stomach was growling. The morning I entered Wuliang Mountain, I really ate well. But after arriving at the forbidden land of Wuliang Mountain. He never ate any more food. Later, he stayed outside Langhuan Jade Cave for nearly a day and a night.

At this point I was very hungry. And Gu Yi Curie couldn't find anything to eat. Zhang Chen quickly put away the silk scroll of "Northern Spiritual Skill".

The kitten's voice said in his ear with some pity, "The plot of "Dragon Babu" has been completely changed. Without "Northern Shengong" and "Lingbo Weibu", Duan Yu was afraid that he would have to accompany the jade statue of the fairy sister to starve to death when he entered the Langhuan Jade Cave.

"It's fine." Zhang Chen said, "It's a big deal, I'll help Xiao Duan get out of the bottom of the immeasurable mountain." I helped him deliver the letter again. Even if he helped him save Zhong Ling, it was a gesture. ”

Kitten, "No, I think it could be wrong...... The world is not very stable in the first place. ”

Zhang Chen was facing the sunshine in the courtyard at this time. His face was warm, but his stomach was hungry and said, "If there's a problem, I'll help solve it." ”

The kitten said helplessly, "What will affect you is that you are adventuring in the other world." Will it affect me? ”

"It's even more fine. Don't worry, I'm not weak in martial arts now, so I don't need to worry about this kind of problem. Zhang Chen paused, "Kitten send me back." "It's been a long time. Going hungry is definitely not a comfortable thing. And after returning to reality, it is even more urgent. If you're not careful. then the battle will start at any time. It's best to go back quickly and take the opportunity to eat something first.

Kitten: "Okay. ”

……

White light, the whole world is slowly becoming clearer.

Winter.

The sky outside the car window was dark, and the dark sky above it was like a thick ink falling into the water, and the darkness was bottomless. On both sides of the road, the branches of the dry grass and poplar trees trembled in the cold wind, like the limbs of a group of dying men.

All the seat backs in the black Audi are still in a toppled state. It's empty. When Zhang Chen's consciousness returned, he was still holding the steering wheel with both hands in the middle of driving.

The world's time is slowly recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye. Xin Dong'er behind her was still devouring the mutated zombie in the red palace. Zhang Chen had to hold on until she finished devouring it before saying anything else.

Distance. At this time, there are still two waves of people chasing him. It seems that it is difficult to deal with any wave.

If there is anything different about Zhang Chen now. That is, he is not as sleepy as he used to be. In the past three days in the world of "Dragon Babu", he has indeed slept well.

Hungry and uncomfortable. He put one hand on the steering wheel and kept the car moving forward. WHILE TAKING OUT A 200G PEANUT-FLAVORED WAR READINESS BISCUIT FROM THE STORAGE SPACE.

It's hard as iron, and it's not tasty. But it's very filling and it's very calortic. At this time, there were no roadblocks for the part of the road that the car was walking. So you can eat it quickly. It took less than five minutes for Zhang Chen to chew this large piece of war-ready biscuit vigorously. Although this food is hard, it is very crumbly when bitten and hardly needs to be chewed for too long. Maybe I'm too hungry, but I don't think it's unpalatable.

After eating, Zhang Chen drank some water. People feel a lot better.

Xin Dong'er's devouring was less than a third left. It should be devoured by this afternoon. At that time, I will have to find a few books on the Book of Changes.

For Zhang Chen, "Northern Shengong" is no matter how good it is. But after all, you need to absorb people's internal force one by one to become stronger.

And the problem that Zhang Chen is facing immediately now is a big problem of whether he can run away or not.

If you can't escape, you will face the most tragic life-and-death battle. It was a fight he was absolutely not sure of. Even if it was those eight red-level mutant zombies, he might not be sure. Not to mention that there is a big monster that doesn't know how strong it is.

"If you win, you will fight, and if you can't win, you will run." This is Zhang Chen's summary of Mao Taizu's methods of conquering the world when he established the foundation of the Celestial Empire. In fact, this sentence can be condensed a little more. That is, it is not a problem not to win. Not being able to run away is the most fatal.

The primary problem Zhang Chen is facing now is the problem of whether he can run away.

"Lingbo Microstep" is a light skill that integrates dodging, accelerating, and attacking. Among all Jin Yong's novels, it is the most powerful kung fu to compete for the reputation of "No. 1 Light Gong". The effect is first and foremost close to 100% dodge. When Duan Yushi started this light work. Enemy attacks are almost always ineffective. Even when he closed his eyes, Yue Laosan couldn't hit him.

It also has two big advantages.

One is to run fast. In the original work, when Duan Yu and Qiao Feng were competing for light skills. He was originally a martial arts idiot. I couldn't run, so I ran around, and I was in a hurry. He stumbled and took half a step forward, just in time for the step in the "Lingbo Microstep". This unintentional step actually made him a few feet ahead. So the second step was "Ling Bo Weibu", and he actually caught up with Qiao Feng.

And there are many people who are outperformed by him, such as first-class masters such as Gu Mozhi and Murong Fu, who can't outrun him. At that time, Duan Yu didn't have much kung fu. You can outrun so many people just by running.

The second is that when he walks, he can still practice internal strength. That's pretty impressive. Although it is not stated in the original work how much internal force it has increased. But I can't stop you from running. The more you run, the stronger the internal force. Such a person, what can you do with him.

This is a kung fu that must be practiced first.

Zhang Chen took a map of Anbei Province from the storage space and began to study. In terms of time. It will be around four o'clock in the afternoon after Xin Dong'er has finished devouring. In terms of speed, the car should have arrived near a national quasi-first-tier city called Anyang City.

Under normal circumstances, Zhang Chen is reluctant to enter the city. The main thing is that it is too congested. When the zombie tide broke out. There are too many people in the city who want to drive away. As a result, most of the lanes do not need to be opened by forklifts, and there are almost no people walking.

Cars on national highways outside the city will move much faster than they do when they enter the city. But this time I had to go to Xinhua Bookstore. Otherwise, it is only a matter of time before they are caught up.

At half past five in the afternoon, Xin Dong'er's devouring was finally over.

Xin Dong'er's strength has been growing at a rate that is visible to the naked eye. Even Zhang Chen could directly feel her strengthening. But she has always been a little depressed.

"Don't worry." Zhang Chen smiled at this time and said to her, "It won't be long before our speed can be faster than the guys behind us." He said so. Xin Dong'er smiled, but didn't say anything. These days, she is devouring zombies. But Zhang Chen's desperateness is what she saw. Now suddenly it says it's going to be faster. She didn't believe it.

"I'll drive, you can sleep for a while......," Xin Dong'er said. She still thought that Zhang Chen was still in a state where he hadn't slept before.

Zhang Chen shook his head and said, "No need." Actually, you don't really need to worry about anything. ”

Xin Dong'er nodded but said. "I'm dying with you, and I don't regret it......" she said with a serious look. Zhang Chen looked at her white face with a hint of blush in the rearview mirror, smiled and said, "I'm serious." ”

Xin Dong'er nodded and said, "I believe ......" Zhang Chen didn't say anything more. Because Xin Dong'er's words obviously didn't believe it.

Luck had been good this afternoon. There aren't many traffic jams outside the city. So at around 5:50, the car had arrived at Chaoyang Avenue on the outskirts of Anyang City. The cars blocking the road are like a long queue with no end in sight.

In a city of this size, there must be survivors. Most often, there will also be gangsters. Xin Dong'er got out of the car. The last sunset of winter is falling. The cold wind blew her long black hair, and her slender and beautiful figure stood straight in the cold wind. In the past few days, her strength has been qualitatively improved. But what I saw on her face was an expression that was getting stricter and stricter.

Confronted with a formidable foe. The more prophetic the person. The more stressful it is. There is no way around it.

After Zhang Chen got out of the car. Tucked the car into its own storage space. Once you're in the city, you'll be able to walk much faster than you would by car. "Let's go. As much as possible! ”

When two people act together, the speed of the slowest person is the speed of the team. When Xin Dong'er and Zhang Chen ran, it must have been Zhang Chen's slowness. Because Xin Dong'er has been devouring that spider girl since she devoured it. She can already float in the sky most of the time. Zhang Chen kept pointing to the ground and accelerating with horizontal movement. This kind of running method is very exhausting for Zhang Chen, but it can't be saved at this time.

The location of Xinhua Bookstore is from Chaoyang Road, and then run thirteen stops. After the Celestial Empire entered the digital age, ordinary bookstores basically slowly disappeared. Even if it's still alive. Most of them also sell student learning materials. Because most people read books online. Therefore, only the state-run Xinhua Bookstore can barely survive. There is no way around it.

After nightfall, the city has no lights, it is very dark, and because it is cloudy, it is pitch black and you can't see your fingers. Except for the occasional black shadow of a tall overpass. It's almost impossible to see still things. In addition to the sound of the wind, there was also the sound of wild dogs or other things in the distance. Not sure why. Zombies don't eat creatures other than humans. This has led to a large proliferation of these wild animals.

It's winter. These irresponsible animals that have been bred. A future of food scarcity is being faced at this time. If it had been in the past, they might have teamed up to sneak up on human cattle and sheep. But now times are different. They can only come to the city to find human trouble.

Zombies are more violent. They do not actively attack animals. But if the animals actively bite them, they will definitely fight back. So these guys don't dare to provoke zombies. Eventually, in the winter, when you are hungry. They're probably going to have to come to trouble the surviving humans.

This winter, I'm afraid, will not be easy.

Zhang Chen and Xin Dong'er were very fast, because it was very dark. So it's hard to determine the direction. Zhang Chen can only barely get through the large buildings on the corner of Guò Street to locate them. He took a four-section long flashlight from the space and used it to read the street signs. Fortunately, he has an excellent memory, and he can remember in detail how many intersections he has passed. So I haven't been on the wrong path.

"Be quick......" Xin Dong'er said to Zhang Chen next to him. She ran with her feet on the ground, "those pursuers were speeding up......"

Zhang Chen said as he ran, "Got it." Feel relieved. We're going to run faster than everybody. ”

Xin Dong'er, "Hmm. ”

The city's Xinhua bookstore is an old store. It was here before the change. It is still in its original position. It's just that the structure has changed a lot. When Zhang Chen arrived. I found the bookstore right next to a large double-decker overpass. Its first floor, the second and third floors are separated, and the exits on several floors of the Tatsutaka Bridge are opposite.

When the two of them ran to the gate on the first floor, the turnstile outside was very well locked. Zhang Chen pulled it hard, and it felt very heavy. It seems that this is not an ordinary door.

Not far away, the howls of wild dogs and other canines were heard one after another. These guys are most likely looking for food at night. If you force the door open. If something like a wolf comes in later, it will definitely affect the time for me to find a book.

"Your sister." Zhang Chen raised his head and shone a flashlight, and there was a faint window on the second floor. He quickly climbed up the wall. The second-floor window of the bookstore was not closed. Zhang Chen and Xin Dong'er got in together.

"Help me clean out the zombies." Zhang Chen said this, and Xin Dong'er disappeared immediately.

Zhang Chen went to the nearest second floor first, and there was a lock on the glass door. Since there is a door outside. You don't have to worry about whether it's damaged or not. Zhang Chen directly opened the door with explosive force. That loud bang! of them spread far and wide in the night.

"I can't do it anymore." He placed the broken glass door against the table next to him. People go in. It's all the smell of ink and paper. There is a saying that storytelling is the inheritance of human civilization. But in this era, people don't even have anything to eat. I probably can't care if it's passed on or not.

There are two stairs inside, and then there are bookshelves, and there are tables. There are books everywhere. Zhang Chen took a large flashlight from his own space. Sweep on these pages, line by line. His IQ is much higher than that of the average person. So the speed of scanning the title of the book is still very fast. Many bookshelves have clear categories, such as economics and law, which do not need to be read at all.

In the darkness of the night, the city seemed to be full of predators.

Zhang Chen kept looking for it in various categories. Eventually, I found a counter. There are mostly four books and five classics and the like.

"Introduction to Easy Learning", "Introduction to Zhou Yi", "Brief Explanation of Easy Learning", "The Mystery of the Book of Changes", "The Secret of Qimen Feijia", "Jinhan Jade Mirror Qimen Dunjia", "Yilin Addendum" ...... There are a lot of these books. Zhang Chen was a little surprised. In the end, I also received two different editions of "Zhou Yi".

At this time, Zhang Chen understood a little. It turns out that "Zhou Yi" is just a commentary on the "Book of Changes" by King Wen of Zhou. There are also "Lianshan Yi" and "Returning to Tibet", but the latter two seem to have been lost. After Zhang Chen received these dozen copies, he felt that it should be enough.

And Xin Dong'er suddenly came in from outside at this time. She was originally very good at lurking, and she came back after this increase in strength. Zhang Chen could hardly find her, and could only use telepathy to feel her.

"How long will it take......" Xin Dong'er's voice was very low, in the dark night, as if she was afraid of being heard.

"Almost." When Zhang Chen said this, he suddenly swept to the corner of the wall and there was a copy of "Introduction to Go". He suddenly thought of the "Zhenlong Chess Game". It should be said that this is something that must be understood. If you can get the book, you will definitely get it.

Xin Dong'er suddenly whispered. "Hurry up...... I think here...... The city...... It's weird......"

Her words were faint in the dark night, and Zhang Chen heard something strange, but he heard the sound of wind blowing in from the window on the top. I can't hear anything. It should be said that when Xin Dong'er said so. Even Zhang Chen began to feel that there was something strange about this city. But now is not the time to care about that. Zhang Chen casually went to get the book. On that shelf, there are a lot of chess games. There are games like Go and other games like chess and bridge. Zhang Chen casually collected more than a dozen copies related to Go, and he didn't care if he could use it or not.

"Let's go." Zhang Chen said.

"Who are you?" A woman's voice suddenly asked beside her. "Who is it? Who is it? ............" The echo of the voice kept spreading.

Xin Dong'er: "Let's go." She hugged Zhang Chen and jumped up. The two have a heart-to-heart relationship. Zhang Chen followed her ability to move sideways through the air. The person who asked the question seemed to snort.

When Zhang Chen and Xin Dong'er rushed out. The whole world is black. And there is a very strong dog smell outside. In the dark night, green eyes can be seen everywhere around the Xinhua bookstore. Those eyes looked at Zhang Chen and Xin Dong'er who had just come out of the house.

The two of them ran out of the wall without stopping. Xin Dong'er can float. And Zhang Chen can walk upright on the wall. The speed of the two people is not slow. Zhang Chen could hear a woman's voice in the dark night, constantly asking around him, "Who are you......

Xin Dong'er's speed is not slow. She kept holding Zhang Chen to speed up, so the two of them slowly distanced themselves from the female voice chasing her. It's just that the girl doesn't give up. It has been following Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen could feel a kind of burning heat in the cold. It seems to be some kind of look. It's like being targeted by some predator.

And on the ground, the large group of canines has always been there, following Zhang Chen and them. But there was no sound. Only large groups of green eyes are seen. Xin Dong'er's ability to float was almost exerted to the limit on this day. When they need to go from building to building. Xin Dong'er hugged him and floated over. It's a pity that this ability doesn't come to home. So when you carry people, you will only float lower and lower. But you don't have to touch the ground. This night.

Xin Dong'er can still discern the direction, and in the dark, Zhang Chen can only hand over all the qiē to her. (To be continued......)
