Chapter 40: Sacrifice

Seeing that Wei Shengchuan and Yang Xiaojing were fine, Liu Cheng put down a boulder in his heart, and after chatting with the two for more than an hour, Liu Cheng asked the two to arrange a place for Cai Lianxue and Liu Shanlin to rest. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info couldn't find relatives at home, which made Liu Shanlin feel a big blow, the whole person looked depressed and decadent, and told Cai Lianxue to take care of it, and he himself left alone overnight. As for the trouble that Wei Shengchuan said, although Liu Cheng didn't know everything, in his opinion, this is not something that cannot be solved, and it is not too late to solve it tomorrow.

Liu Cheng's home and Wei Shengchuan's house are actually not far apart, and they can even see each other if there is no tree to cover them. Going home was one of the purposes of this trip, and now that he had already walked here, Liu Cheng didn't want to wait even one more night.

The vision at night is poor, and the effective vision is less than ten meters in the moonlight, and there seems to be nothing in the wild except for the crazy weeds. But this does not affect Liu Cheng, although he has not returned for many years, these field paths have not changed in any way compared to his memory. In the countryside, there are almost no xenomorphs in the wild, and all you need to pay attention to is the mutated creatures that may exist in the wilderness. Liu Cheng's pace is very slow, as if he is passing the time for a leisurely stroll, which is very different from the eagerness to go home in his heart: "This may be the feeling of being close to home." ”

After walking through the fields for more than half an hour, the familiar village finally came into view. Liu Cheng remembers that when he left, the young people in the village, including most of the people under the age of 50, left, except during the Spring Festival, when people were out of town to survive. So he can be sure that there won't be many people in the village when the end comes, which means that the whole village may be a ghost domain now, and there is not a single living person, not even a few xenos.

The quiet village is shrouded in a dense bamboo forest, and the moonlight rarely shines into it, like a monster waiting for its prey to fall into the net, with its terrifying mouth wide open. Not to mention such a village, even if it is placed in the current environment, even before the end of the day, I am afraid that people will not dare to go out of their homes easily at night. But at this time, Liu Cheng did not have any psychological pressure, and still maintained a slow, firm pace approaching, until the dense bamboo forest engulfed his figure. Because Liu Cheng found that there was a black shadow shaking by the pond in front of his house, and it could be seen from its rickety form that this was an old man who had changed into a different species. When Liu Cheng approached, the black shadow let out a low roar, there were no living people in the village, which meant that it had not eaten fresh flesh and blood after the apocalypse, and at this time, it was stimulated by the blood on Liu Cheng's body, and it was almost crazy. However, in the face of the crazy xenomorph, Liu Cheng's face did not even change, this xenomorph was so weak that Liu Cheng did not need any superfluous movements, just simply raised his legs and kicked forward, and the unlucky xenomorph flew into the pond without a sound.

The night, once again, was quiet, the breeze was blowing, the bamboo leaves rubbing against each other made a rustling sound, all this, if it were not for the darkness of all the houses, if it were not for the thick smell of rotten rotten leaves on the ground, what was the difference between it and before the end of the world?

Rummaging with the key in his hand, Liu Cheng gently stroked his finger on the key, feeling every detail on the key, and stood quietly in front of the door, but did not open the door for a long time. He hesitated, missed, and feared. Since he was left with only himself in this world, he has never returned to this home, not because he doesn't think about it enough, but because he misses it too much, recalls it too much, so much that he may be overwhelmed at any time. Standing in front of the door, he was afraid, afraid of the dust on the floor in the house, afraid that the furnishings in the house that could not be more familiar would be presented in front of his eyes, afraid of the moment of loss and emptiness when he opened the door.

"Squeak", the sound of the wooden door grinding is so clear and piercing in this dead night. The oncoming dust came with a bit of moisture, but Liu Cheng didn't have the slightest intention of retreating, even if it made him feel uncomfortable. Breathing in the dusty air, Liu Cheng muttered, "Strong, the smell of home, the smell of memories."

Without hesitation, he walked slowly into the house, although the moonlight could not shine in, but this did not affect Liu Cheng's familiarity with home, such familiarity would not be blurred even if it was ten years or a hundred years. If it was a different place, Liu Cheng would definitely be cautious before stepping into such an environment, first to determine if there would be any danger, but tonight he didn't, without hesitation, defenseless, let himself be swallowed in the darkness, because this is his home!

Standing in the center of the hall, Liu Cheng closed his eyes tightly, once this was a place for a family reunion, and at this time it seemed that he could still smell the smell of his mother's rice. After a long time, Liu Cheng silently moved to other rooms, as if he had completely forgotten that this world was already full of danger. Feeling the darkness, everything in the room comes to mind like an old movie. Without lighting any lights, there was no running energy to illuminate the space, Liu Cheng came to the kitchen, picked up a rag, and condensed a bucket of clear water from the ice energy in his hand. In the dark, Liu Cheng quietly picked up the things in the house one by one, wiped them clean, and put them back in place, from room to room, until everything was cleaned up. Such behavior may be meaningless to others, but for Liu Cheng, it is also a way for him to pay tribute to his past. He believes that this is the only way to make everything in memory more memorable.

Liu Cheng didn't take anything from the house, just took all the incense wax paper from the shrine, then locked the door and turned around silently. In the moonlight, he stared deeply at the old house that he grew up with and carried all the happy memories: "I will come back, this land will be in my hands again, and home will always be home."

Liu Cheng finally stopped when passing through the bamboo forest in front of the house, which is said to have been planted by his father when he was young: "Then you will protect this home instead of me in the future." The summoning energy in his body flooded towards the bamboo forest like a tide, and he wanted to turn these old bamboos into the guardians of his home, even if this might reduce the number of summoned beasts in his future control, but so what?

In half an hour, the bamboo forest in front of this house has completed the most important transformation of his life.

The moonlight stretches the shadows of the trees and casts them on the mountains. Beneath the shadow of the trees are three mounds of various sizes, two large and one small. Liu Cheng knelt quietly in front of the grave at this time, throwing dark paper into the fire one by one, very gentle and careful. In the empty wilderness, only a few trees that have turned into life-summoning trees are quietly perceiving all this not far away. And those two big tombs are the places where his parents sleep, and the small tombs in the middle are his clothes mounds, in Liu Cheng's heart, even if he can't live in the same world, he must sleep in the same land.

This night, Liu Cheng didn't say a word, didn't leave a single step, stayed in front of the grave to recall the past, and at the same time planned the future. The last days are not just about living, nor is it simply about living better, he has unfinished wishes and plans before the end of the world. Since the end of the world is coming, there must be no way to carry out the plan before the end of the world, but this cannot erase the fireworks in his heart.

Revenge starts with a strong self!

Gently wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, he stood up, his face calm again, his gaze swept over the empty mountains, and finally fell back to the three earth graves. Liu Cheng resolutely turned around, as if the sadness just now had not appeared. It was also at this time that Liu Cheng was in the mood to check out his masterpiece tonight.

Guardian of Tough Bamboo: A fifth-order wood attribute, a warrior awakened with the will of the summoner, summoned by a ten-year-old bamboo,

Strangulation - using the tough body as a weapon to form a brute force strangulation on the enemy;

Shield of Solid Wood - Draws on the power of nature to strengthen itself in a short period of time and form a solid shield of protection.

Wilderness Warden: Wood attribute fifth-order, a warrior awakened with the will of the summoner, summoned from a fifty-year-old tree,

Fury Release - Release your own seeds, forming a dense space strike, the seeds that absorb fresh blood will grow rapidly, absorb everything the enemy needs for growth, and form a second strike;

Waiting - Seeds will fall and go into a dormant state within fifty meters of the Wilderness Warden when they are naturally matured, until they are activated by the main body when needed;

Last night, Liu Cheng summoned twice, but at this time, he was very surprised when he checked the attributes of the summoned creatures, these two summoned creatures obviously had a different place from the previous ones, that is, "the warrior who awakened with the will of the summoner", Liu Cheng felt that he seemed to have grasped something, but it was not very clear. At the same time, what he didn't expect was that the summoning energy actually broke through on its own without knowing it last night.

The morning light of the last days is full of fresh smell. But at this time, Xie Yan and Xie Fat were not in the mood to enjoy it. Xie Yanyuan is a native of Santai County, a gangster with ten younger brothers. Before the mutation, he was arrested and sent to the police station for a group fight. After the mutation occurred, he rushed out of the police station with his younger brother who did not have a mutation, and by the way, he also took out two police pistols. After suffering from the aliens, several people realized that they should stay away from the county seat, otherwise they would die at the hands of monsters sooner or later. Fleeing along the way, several people met many survivors, and now those survivors are almost non-existent, but a few people are still alive, which is enough to show their ability. When passing by this place, several people found the residence of Mikatsukawa and others, so they also stopped. However, because Wei Shengchuan was not used to his ruffianism, the two were opposed.

After life settled down, Xie Yan developed the habit of getting up every morning and basking in the sun, but today he didn't have this interest. The reason is very simple, as soon as I got up in the morning, my younger brother came to report that a few people came from outside last night, and these people seem to have some skills, and the principal and Wei Shengchuan used to be brothers. When he thought of the foreign aid coming from the opponent's side, how could he sit still, although he had two guns in his hands, but there were not many bullets. And the other party has the ability to walk in the wilderness after the apocalypse, how can he be an ordinary person.

"Xiao Ai, can you tell me how to deal with it now?" Xie Yan lit a half-burned cigarette and puffed through the smoke while asking a young man with long hair tied back next to him. This young man's name is Ed, because of his flexible mind, he is considered a wise general under Xie Yan, and Xie Yan will usually discuss anything with him.

"Actually, Brother Xie doesn't have to worry too much, although we don't get along with Wei Shengchuan, we don't have a deep hatred, we can prepare for this matter with both hands." Ed said with a smile on his face.

"Oh? Prepare with both hands, you can tell me a good talk. Hearing Ed say this, Xie Yan also felt that it was the same thing. Although he didn't deal with Wei Shengchuan, it was all because of conceptual disagreement, and there was no actual hatred. With Xie Yan's permission, Ed whispered in Xie Yan's ear, and Xie Yan smiled and nodded again and again.
