Whew.

In a forest, a man with a girl on his back is running quickly, with a whistling wind, while behind them there are more than 20 insects of different sizes frantically chasing, the picture is thrilling.

These two are Zhang Yu and Belle.

Maybe it was because the two days of smooth travel used up all their luck, and they saw that they could reach Lucheng this afternoon, but when they woke up, they hadn't rushed much before they were suddenly blocked by the swarm.

After some fighting, after Zhang Yu successfully killed two adults and four larvae, the insects became more and more surrounded, and finally he could only flee with Belle on his back.

In fact, he wanted to resist with a Gatling heavy machine gun, but he couldn't infer the number of bugs in the vicinity because he was in the wild...... In such a situation, one is afraid that the sound of gunfire will attract too many insects, leading to a desperate situation. Second, although the amount of ammunition is not in short supply, it is not sufficient, and I am afraid that the bullets will be consumed before the insects are killed.

Besides, why fight if you can run?

"It's not good to be out of the school, it's early in the morning, and it really doesn't make people stop." Zhang Yu, who was frantically fleeing, glanced back at the swarm of insects chasing after him, and snorted.

Although he was being chased by terrible insects, Zhang Yu was not very nervous, after all, he had been chased by thousands of insects, and it was really difficult for Zhang Yu to have too much fluctuation in his heart with this number of insects.

It's not weird.

The only thing that worries him is that now it is really the same as what Daddy Belle said, the insects near Lucheng are already traveling morning and evening, which also means that their last trip will not be peaceful anymore.

Belle curled up on Zhang Yu's back, and her white arms wrapped around Zhang Yu's neck for two days, and said in a little panic: "Brother Yu, are you okay?" Am I too heavy? ”

"Huh." Zhang Yu, who was originally a little dignified, was amused by Belle's words, he tilted his head back, touched Belle's forehead, and teased: "My little fat man, it's time for you to lose weight." ”

Belle's petite body is less than eighty pounds, how can she feel heavy with Zhang Yu's strong physical fitness, at most, it is equivalent to an ordinary person helping a sandbag running, or that kind of children's version of sandbag.

"Huh?" But Belle had a glass heart, and when she heard it, she immediately panicked and said guiltily: "Yes, I'm sorry, I ...... I must lose weight! ”

"Stop talking, hold me tight!" Seeing that a very wide trench suddenly appeared in front of him, Zhang Yu's eyes began to sharpen, and his speed increased instead of decreasing.

"Ahh

When he reached the edge of the trench, he roared, and jumped with the force of his might, intending to jump over Belle on his back!

You must know that this trench is twenty meters wide, but it is not bottomless, and its length almost crosses the entire forest, like a moat, dividing this forest into "two halves", and no animal can pass through this trench except birds.

Not even the most jumping kangaroos.

Rise!

As if incarnated as a big bird, Zhang Yu waved his hands and feet, and actually rose into the air, crossed an arc, and really relied on his strong body to jump over the trench more than ten meters wide.

The huge inertia after landing made him do a squat, and there was a "crackling" crunch sound from his knees.

And such a thrilling move naturally scared Belle enough...... Her little face was pale, her eyes were closed, and she hung desperately on Zhang Yu's back, not daring to move.

As for the pursuing biters...... Although their shells are hard and their movements are flexible, they obviously don't have the same bouncing power as Zhang Yu, and after chasing them to the edge of the trench, they can only scream and watch Zhang Yu fly away.

But a wave of unevenness rose again and again, and Zhang Yu and the others had just gotten rid of this group of bugs, but they were soon targeted by another group of bugs.

So the fugitive continues.

Thanks to Zhang Yu's good physical strength, he ran wildly with Belle on his back for more than an hour, but he didn't get tired and lay down, but ran more and more energetically, and the whole person was full of energy and red face, as if he ate something that would make a man look great in a second.

However, just as Zhang Yu was about to pass through the forest, he had already seen the bright light coming from the gaps in the increasingly sparse trees in front of him, and something changed.

"Bang!"

With a dull gunshot, the head of one of the insects in the swarm chasing behind Zhang Yu suddenly burst, followed by a burst of machine gun sounds, and two figures suddenly fell from the trees in front of them.

"Huh?" Zhang Yu, who was still running, couldn't react a little, and watched these two figures jump past him...... In an instant, Zhang Yu couldn't see the faces of the two of them clearly, and could only tell that they were both men.

They are......

After running a few more steps along the inertia, Zhang Yu stopped his pace and turned his head with some hesitation to look at the two people who had already rushed into the swarm.

Modern costumes, halo-flowing weapons, and the pattern of the altar on the back of the hand......

They are apostles!

And just after looking at it for a moment, Zhang Yu immediately knew that the strength of these two individuals must be above him.

Because the movements of these two people are so smooth, shuttling through the insect swarm is as leisurely as a leisurely stroll, and in a hurry, there are insect corpses separated...... It's not how fast they are, it's not how strong they are, it's just experience.

If Zhang Yu is a reckless man with brute strength, then these two are like knights with good martial arts...... No matter how the bug attacks, they can always dodge it easily, and the counterattack is swift and sharp, often landing precisely on the bug's carapace with each attack.

In just a few seconds, seven or eight bugs died.

Zhang Yu also discovered that there were apostles nearby, and there was more than one! For he could clearly see that there was a machine gun spraying tongues of fire from a large tree not far away, and the dull sound of sniper guns from time to time somewhere.

"Why, what's going on, who are they?"

Belle jumped off Zhang Yu's back and looked around a little blankly.

Zhang Yu didn't answer Belle's question, just stood sideways in front of her...... Although it seems that these people are really helping themselves, in this chaotic thirteen domains, at least vigilance must be maintained.

And most importantly, he now has a powerless Belle by his side.

Suddenly, Zhang Yu saw a woman jumping down from a big tree and walking towards him.

"Hey, I said newcomer, don't be so vigilant, right? Can't you see we're helping you? ”

This woman is different from Belle's youthfulness, she looks unusually mature and moving, and she is the kind of woman that most men can't refuse. Heavy makeup is glamorous but not obtrusive at all, but it makes people feel that it should be so, wearing a black leather dress and leather skirt and long boots, although her proud figure is undoubtedly revealed, but when she raises her hands and feet, there is no trace of coquettishness, just simple sultry.

There is no doubt that this is a perfect royal sister type beauty.

After discovering that her words did not make Zhang Yu relax her vigilance, the bewitching woman stopped, kept a distance of about five meters from Zhang Yu, and said with a frown: "If we want to kill you, is it necessary for us to show up?" You're not so stupid as to figure out such a simple question. ”

Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "I just have one question, why help me." ”

Of course, he understands that if he wants to shoot himself, it must be easier when he is not vigilant, but he also understands a truth, there is no free lunch in the world...... He wasn't so stupid as to think that just because he was fellow apostles, these people were going to help him.

No, it should be said that it was the same apostle that he found it strange to help himself.

There are many reasons, such as the Thirteen Domains, which also came from the real world, and this alone made Zhang Yu dare not believe it easily.

In the real world, in modern society, although the development of science and technology allows human beings to enjoy the convenience of life, it is undeniable that in that world, it has also brought some extremely negative effects because of the development of science and technology.

In the age of the Internet, where disinformation is everywhere, human beings have become extremely lacking in trust, and even the most basic trust between people has disappeared. You lie to me, I lie to you, the more fake things spread, and the more absurd things are, the more people are interested......

After no longer having to worry about food and drink, luxury goods quietly attacked, constantly distorting human cognition, so there was a comparison, began to worship money, thinking that the central idea of "materialism" is that if you have money, you have everything, and the so-called faith is just bullshit......

Selfishness, prudence, love of vanity, mercenary, falsehood...... It's not that anyone can be left alone, it's just that the status quo is like this.

The people of that world, of course, know what is wrong with the people in that world, and most importantly, they are completely strangers, and the other side is far more powerful than their own...... How can such a situation make Zhang Yu not cautious? Moreover, after experiencing the box world, Zhang Yu understood a problem, that is, the relationship between the apostles and the apostles may not be as harmonious as imagined.

So the question is, why help him?

"Why?" The bewitching woman tilted her head, looked at Zhang Yu as if she was looking at a rare treasure, and muttered: "Sure enough, it's a newcomer, I really don't understand anything, and I don't know what our captain likes about you......"

Speaking of this, she paused before continuing: "Let's tell you this way, newcomer, we are short of manpower in our team, and we want to invite you to join our team...... Of course, we don't recruit everyone, and whether you can be a teammate that we can trust depends on your performance...... Do you understand why? ”

"Team?" Zhang Yu's eyes lit up, and he immediately thought of the scene of an apostle team fighting vampires in the ancient castle.

In that picture, although the number of apostles is not large, and their strength is not particularly powerful, they cooperate with each other to burst out with super combat power, slashing the terrible vampires one by one.

Moreover, Zhang Yu learned from the prompts on the screen that after the apostle formed a team, the personal main quest every month would be automatically promoted to the main quest of the team, and the reward after the completion of the main quest of the team would be much higher than the mandatory task of a single person...... So this also leads to the fact that if you want to survive in the Thirteen Domains, the team has become a must.

This is also the reason why Zhang Yu went to Lucheng despite the difficulties and dangers.

He just didn't expect that before he arrived in Lucheng, he met a team of apostles.
