Chapter Seventy-Eight: Cowardice
"How can there be so many crows?" Haomei looked at Zhang Bingdong and suspected that it was his ghost. "Don't look at me, yes, I was magically recruited, but I didn't expect there to be so many." The necromancer felt discomfort in his stomach, retched a few times, and had nothing, so he had to spit out and say, "Didn't you say that you didn't eat, but now your eyes are all over it, and there are several of them when you stretch out your hand!" ”
Haomei's eyes widened and said: "So much, I'm still afraid that they will eat me, where do you dare to fight their ideas!" "Coward!" Zhang Bingdong walked forward, sealed and chanted a mantra, and in a moment, a fluffy gray mist appeared out of thin air among the crows, quickly churning and spreading, and the crows touched by the gray mist staggered as if drunk, screaming and staggering. But instead of being frightened away by their screams, the crows around them fluttered their wings into the fog in panic, which made people very puzzled.
"Summon the Necromancer!" I saw Zhang Bingdong raise his hand, and a miserable green light flashed in the gray mist, startling the drunken crows in the fog. In the mist, the crows rose one after another, screaming dumbly and flying around the two.
In this way, the crows around scrambled into the gray mist, and then were startled by Zhang Bingdong's green light and joined the ranks of the crows flying around the two. Haomei calculated that there were about 500 crows startled by Zhang Bingdong each time, and in three hours, Zhang Bingdong emitted more than 40 green lights, so about 20,000 crows were transformed into undead crows.
In the end, Zhang Bingdong left more than 100 for food, and the rest were all transformed into necromancers. That night, the two of them were satisfied with a meal of fragrant crow meat. Haomei slept with a satisfied smile.
But Zhang Bingdong summoned the skeleton boringly and didn't sleep until the second half of the night, and he had an indescribable premonition that something might happen when he went back to the city this time, so it was better to prepare early. It was night, and three thousand skeleton soldiers stood silently in the small village in the dark night.
Early in the morning of the second day, the two of them hurried slowly, and finally saw the long "side wall" separating the "no man's land" from the residential area in the early morning.
It is made of stones, about two people high, three or four meters thick, a total of more than 100 kilometers, stretching on the hills, accompanied by a two-meter-deep blockade trench. At the commanding heights and key intersections, there are bunkers. An attempt to block the expansion of the struggle against the beast. The two of them quickly flipped through the hidden corners and sneaked into the human settlement on the outskirts of the city that the orcs had deliberately created.
Zhang Bingdong followed the Haomei rat through the crops, walked through the grass houses, and crept to a thin wooden door to make a cuckoo call. I heard a commotion in the room, and then a middle-aged man's voice asked softly at the door, "What bird is calling?" ”
"Cuckoo calls, spring is coming!" Haomei said a password. "Squeak!" The door opened, revealing a haggard bearded face: "Come in!" ”
The two hurriedly entered the door, and Hu Zhen looked outside the door before closing the door and coming in. Hu Zhen looked at Haomei's bloody face for a while, and said, "It's you?" Sending a letter again? ”
Haomei shook her head and said, "Not this time, it's for him to go to the city to find friends, Uncle Zhang, you have lost weight again!" Hu Zhen laughed miserably: "This kind of life, I don't say that you understand, by the way, I heard that the blood soul group uprising was surrounded and suppressed by the orcs, and now I don't know where the big army has been transferred?" ”
"I don't know, but the orc army passed Panjiayu two days ago and was massacred in Panjiayu! Most of the people in Panjiayu died. "What! ……”
…… While the two of them were greeting, Zhang Bingdong took a look at the environment.
The living room and the room are all made of wood, firewood and grass as the wall, and the house is simple and cold. In the hall, there was only an earthen stove, a simple wooden table, an empty rice jar, and the small room was even more clear, and it was just a large bed made of bricks and stone planks, which looked as if there was no quilt. There are four people in the family, in addition to Hu Xuan, there is also a thin child about four years old, squatting on the ground and chewing grass roots, while looking at Zhang Bingdong, it seems to be a little cold under the cold of Xiaohan. There were two women in the small room, hiding in the pit, only showing their heads and peeking at this side.
Zhang Bingdong wondered, why did he dig such a big pit in the bedroom? How to hide in a pit? It doesn't seem to be like this in the province of Start before! Could it be that the years since I went to aliens have changed? "It's going to be a bit difficult to find someone now!" Hu Ballast touched Hu Ballast and said, pulling Zhang Bingdong's attention back: "Now that the orc army has gone to chase the blood soul regiment, the city guard is empty, so the organization in the city is ready to take action." I believe I am busy preparing now, and it is estimated that it will be these two days! ”
"Huh?" Zhang Bingdong was anxious: "What should I do?" Haomei thought for a while and said, "It's better to go into the city and have a look, if you can't find anyone, it's good to do something for the uprising." ”
Zhang Bingdong breathed a sigh of relief. Hu Zhen also nodded and said, "You are also hungry, eat something and then leave!" So saying, he went to the stove and brought a large rough bowl with a small half ball of pasta in it.
"No need, Uncle Zhang, there is too little food here, you better keep it for yourself, I'm afraid it's still your day's ration." Zhang Bingdong was surprised: "How can you eat so little?" ”
Hu Zhen touched his chin and smiled bitterly: "I'm used to being hungry, so let's eat it." In this uprising in the city, if I had the chance, I would have fled with my wife and children. Zhang Bingdong asked curiously: "Why are your wife and daughter hiding in that pit?" ”
Haomei glanced at him: "What else, I don't have any clothes to wear." Zhang Bingdong was stunned.
The beard smiled bitterly, as if he was born with this expression, which had become so rigid that it was the same wry smile when he wasn't smiling. "Take your clothes off!"
Although Zhang Bingdong knew what she was going to do, he shouted: "What are you going to do? Don't be so savage, oops, that's excessive! The clothes were forcibly stripped off by the female robbers, and Haomei herself took off a coat. Zhang Bingdong was shirtless, helplessly watching her hand the two coats to the mother and daughter.
The shirtless man said unevenly: "I actually wore two coats, maybe it was premeditated." After a while, the female robber turned back, looked at Zhang Bingdong, and pointed to his pants.
Zhang Bingdong covered his pants in horror and said resolutely: "No, absolutely not, I only wear one pair of pants!" Haomei smiled and said, "If you don't take it off, will I take it off?" And I know you're wearing panties. ”
Zhang Bingdong was surprised: "How do you know? "I've covered it so much for the past two days that I haven't even taken a shower. How did she know? Zhang Bingdong's mind couldn't help but think of the picture of a female pervert taking advantage of her sleep and doing whatever she wanted, she really couldn't look good, I didn't expect Haomei to be this kind of person!
Haomei smiled and said, "Guess! How would I know if you're wearing panties or not, so stupid! "Dizzy, treacherous man, she has calculated!
As a result, the loser struggled desperately, and his pants were still pulled off, revealing the only big red pants left. A guy actually wears a woman's red pants! Haomei eats and laughs. The red pants said indignantly: "What are you laughing at, I also pulled it casually on the roadside, and I didn't deliberately want to wear it!" ”
Soon, Hu Zhen's 14-year-old daughter came up to the pit wearing Zhang Bingdong's clothes and pants, and after a while, his wife also wore Haomei's coat and came up with a piece of cloth around her lower body. Both of them are skinny and have vegetables on their faces, and they know at a glance that they have been starving for a long time. "Come and eat something good, right?" Haomei took out the dozens of roast crows that she hadn't eaten last night.
Seeing the meat, the family's eyes were fixed on it, but the man did not speak, and the mother and daughter also hesitated, wanting to stop talking. "How can this work, such a precious thing, we just need to eat this kind of noodles and be alive, you better keep it for yourself!" Hu Xuan excused himself, but his eyes had betrayed him.
"Uncle Zhang, it's okay, we ate a lot yesterday, and we're still full! It's all for you, so you can eat it with confidence" "Then we're welcome! Before he could finish speaking, the family began to gobble up.
Zhang Bingdong tasted a little bit of the noodles that Hu Ballast brought over, it was bitter and difficult to eat, and asked: "What kind of noodles is this, it's really unpalatable!" "The family's mouth was stuffed with something and they couldn't answer.
Haomei said: "A kind of mixed powder made by mixing sorghum rice, corn bones, and white potato seedlings together. Animals don't want to eat, let alone people. Orcs only squirt people's flesh and blood, where can you live or die. Zhang Bingdong looked at the family who gobbled up and had yellow muscles and thin muscles, and felt sad for a while. Thinking that if Ah Bing lives, I'm afraid he will have to suffer a lot.
As soon as he finished eating, the whistle of the assembly sounded, Hu Zhen hurriedly cleaned up, and said to Haomei before going out: "I will get a good citizen certificate, I am going to send forage to the city tonight, you can wait at my house for a day." After saying that, he hurried away.
The two had nowhere to go, so they had to chat with the mother and daughter who made up the seats, and Zhang Bingdong had a general understanding of the situation here. In order to facilitate management, the orcs took 10 miles outside the city as a residential area, and the next 10 miles were the farming area, and no people were allowed to live there, and 20 miles outside the farming area was a no-man's land.
When human beings enter the "residential area", they lose all freedoms of production, life, speech, and action, and can only be forced and slaughtered by orcs like cattle and horses, and live a life that is inferior to that of pigs and dogs. ”
The people in the "human circle" lived in an extremely miserable situation under the brutal rule of the orcs. Under surveillance all day long, men are forced to go out every day to farm for the enemy, going out en masse at 10 a.m. and returning en masse at 4 p.m.; The orcs stationed there also stipulated: those who return late will be punished, and those who take the opportunity to escape will kill their relatives. Young and middle-aged people were all assigned to the so-called "regimental corps," given spears and sticks, forced to undergo "military training" in addition to farming every day, and had to "stand guard and patrol at night."
The situation of women is even more miserable, they are not allowed to leave the "human circle", they serve and work every day, and are often humiliated by the orcs and their lackeys. Under the pretext of the "Blood Soul Regiment", they ordered all families not to bolt the door day and night, and often broke into people's homes at will to rape women, even young girls. How many victims were physically and mentally devastated, swallowed tears in their stomachs, dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and the slightest resistance would invite death, and some women could not bear the humiliation, so they took poison and hanged themselves. The beast army implemented a fascist policy of "controlling rice and grain, grinding and blockading" in the "human circle", stipulating that all grain and fruits should be owned in the warehouse, and it was strictly forbidden for the people to keep or buy and sell them privately, otherwise they would be severely punished for crimes such as "economic criminals" and "state criminals". Wang Jinding, a citizen of the Baimiaozi "human circle", only picked a few fruits from his own fruit tree to eat because he was hungry, and was found to be sentenced to be an "economic criminal" and was miserably divided.
The "rationing system" of life is implemented in the "human circle", which stipulates that each person is rationed a small amount of mixed noodles every year, 1 fire starting stick, half a catty of salt, and 3 feet of cloth. Taking cloth as an example, most of the "residential areas" only get 9 inches of cloth per person per year on average, and it is extremely difficult for the people to dress up. Many elderly people are surrounded by only a sheepskin or sack, and children are naked all year round; Some girls and daughters-in-law only put a piece of cloth around their waists, and in order to cover their shame, they had to dig a deep pit in the corner of the house, and squatted into the pit when outsiders came, just like the two women Zhang Bingdong saw. The "human circle" has a large number of people in the interior, and the living and sanitary conditions are extremely poor. Most of the people live in a kind of "horse frame house" with timber as a frame and firewood and grass walls, and some families live together. Outside the house was full of feces and garbage, the plague was epidemic in the summer, there was no medical treatment, and the infirm died of disease in batches; In winter, the ice and snow close the door, there is no green and yellow, lack of food and clothing, and many people die of cold and starvation.
The "circle of people" is divided into a team to manage, each team of 400 people, in a year, each team more than 160 deaths, less than 80 deaths, from which we can see how hard life in the residential area is. "It seems that we will not live long, we will also die, sooner or later we will die, we will all die!" As his wife spoke, the mother and daughter cried together.
Haomei and Zhang Bingdong were relatively speechless. In the evening, Zhang Bingdong and Ah Bing followed behind the long queue of forage trucks with heavy hearts.
The thick dark clouds obscured the sunset, but as the wind blew, the dark clouds had to move slowly, and the sunset would always shine through the cracks in the clouds with a blood-red light, perhaps, the sky was about to change!
The first time I entered the city, I drove more than ten miles in the evening, and arrived at the city gate in the morning of the second day.
There are only two rows of stubborn orcs guarding in front of the city gate, and dozens of Terran scum are checking the people entering the city for the orcs, and they have to search their bodies when they encounter suspicious elements. Zhang Bingdong followed the convoy and saw from a distance a young woman who was designated as a "suspicious element" by the captain of their interrogation team, pulled aside and used foul language and ridicule, ignoring the woman's soft smile and pleading, and put her hands up and down, as if no one was around.
"Beast!" Haomei airway. "Scum, there are enough arrogant ones!" Zhang Bingdong, who wore red pants, was also indignant.
"It's just a bunch of poor dogs, if the people in the city are mixed with the Blood Soul Regiment, the orcs will kill them!" A road to catch a car. Because they have to go into the city every two or three days to deliver forage, they basically don't check much. Zhang Bingdong thought it was okay, but the scum's eyes lit up when they saw Haomei, there had been no young girl crossing the city gate for a long time, and when they saw Haomei, they were like seeing fat flies, and they surrounded them.
"Stop! The girl ...... "Haomei turned around, and the scum captain stopped when he saw her bloody mottled face, and felt unlucky, it turned out to be a leprosy person, no wonder he dared to come out. Seeing Zhang Bingdong squinting at him, this anger suddenly turned to his red pants.
"You kid, what do you look at, you dare to wear red pants and take them off for me!" The rest of the scum burst into laughter.
What pants I wear is none of your business! Zhang Bingdong saw his arrogant face, the nameless fire, and the breath of the necromancer on his body couldn't help but be revealed, the people around him instantly felt gloomy, the temperature dropped several degrees at once, and the donkey in front of the car suddenly became restless and wailed. Haomei hurriedly pulled him, and Zhang Bingdong suppressed his anger and restrained his breath.
"What are you staring at me, boy? I'm impatient to live, isn't it! "It didn't alarm the orcs, but it made the captain think it was his own delusion, and the scum captain felt ashamed of his cowardice just now, and the whip left a bloody trail on the necromancer's face.
If it weren't for Haomei holding Zhang Bingdong tightly, the necromancer would have sworn to torture him for three days and three nights with the most vicious "fierce ghosts", and then use the most inhumane corpse explosion to speed up his despicable dog's life! "Third master, third master!" At this time, Hu Zhen greeted him with a smile: "The child has just arrived, he is not sensible, you have a lot of adults, spare his life!" We will all be grateful to you! While secretly stuffing a few silver coins into the hands of the scum captain.
"Count your acquaintances" The scum captain threw away the silver coin in his hand and said with satisfaction: "For your sake, let him go!" "Yes, yes!"
The long queue of hay trucks slowly swam into the city, and a crisis seemed to subside. Captain Scum sat down in his chair satisfied, unaware that he had just offended a necromancer known for his evil! "! I wish I had been him! Zhang Bingdong didn't notice it when he was angry, but now the blood on his face hurts hotly!
"Don't be impulsive, you were quick at the time, but the uprising in the city could be affected by you. Endure it and it's over. Haomei comforted. After the two thanked Hu Zhen and said goodbye, they went to East Street to find the contact person Haomei said.
followed Haomei around seven or eight alleys and came to a dilapidated house. I saw Haomei knock on the door twice with a special rhythm, and a thin scholar in his thirties opened the door, looked at Haomei for a while, and recognized Haomei. "Come in!"
After entering the door, I turned to a small room, where there were already three people, sitting around the table, and it seemed that the four of them were discussing before entering, maybe it was the uprising. Seeing the two of them coming in, they couldn't stop looking up and down, and Zhang Bingdong also looked at them. A bearded, tall and sturdy man, dressed as a coolie and with bright eyes, sat across the table. A lean mustache, sitting on the left side of the table, was squinting at the two of them. On the right is a majestic-looking, stout young man with sharp eyes.
At this time, the scholar opened his mouth and introduced: "This girl's name is Pan Haomei, Pan Jiayu, she has sent a few letters, and she has borrowed a lot of books from me and has not returned them!" Several people laughed, and the atmosphere suddenly became harmonious.
Then he asked Haomei: "Who is this friend?" "His name is Zhang Bingdong, a native of Meihua Town, Wuling County." Haomei Road.
The scholar nodded, comforted Haomei, and said: "We have all heard about Panjiayu, don't be too sad, the blood debt will have to be repaid sooner or later!" Haomei nodded, took a deep breath, pointed to Zhang Bingdong and said, "Teacher Zhiyuan, I came this time to ask you to find someone for him, a friend of his was captured by orcs on the outskirts of the city five years ago. ”
The scholar's face was embarrassed, and he said apologetically: "I'm a little busy these days, and I'm afraid this friend of yours can't help." "Teacher Zhiyuan, this is Uncle Jin Xiang's letter of introduction." Haomei handed the letter of introduction to the scholar.
The scholar was amazed at the letter and passed it on to the other three. Since the other two were illiterate, the young man took up the faith and said:
"Teacher Lin Zhiyuan: Zhang Bingdong is a rare intermediate necromancer, and he is the life-saving benefactor of Pan Jiayu in this orc massacre. In addition, I also hope that Master Zhang Bingdong can bring a boost to the organization in the city.
The person in charge of Pan Jiayu of the Blood Soul Troupe: Pan Jinxiang and several people looked at Zhang Bingdong again in surprise, but they didn't expect the necromancer who had been extinct for more than a hundred years to appear again, and it was actually the harmless guy in front of him who looked no different from ordinary people.
Lin Zhiyuan asked Haomei in disbelief: "Is he really an intermediate necromancer?" Haomei nodded and gave Zhang Bingdong a look.
Zhang Bingdong pursed his lips helplessly, he didn't seem to believe in himself, so he had to show off. Raise your right hand and recite the mantra silently. I saw a cloud of gray mist rising from the flat ground, constantly converging and shrinking into Zhang Bingdong's palm, and in a moment it solidified into a small skull the size of a fist. So that you don't believe me, Zhang Bingdong naughtily stuffed the little skull into Lin Zhiyuan's hand, and said with a smile: "I will give you a souvenir!" ”
Lin Zhiyuan didn't want to be rude at first sight, so he reluctantly took it, but he was afraid that there was corpse poison on the skull or the undead rot liquid would suddenly emerge from the eye hole, so he put it on the table like a hot hand. After all, necromancers are also famous for their use of poison in addition to necromancy and curses. The other three people carefully looked at the little skull, and finally believed in the fact that Zhang Bingdong was a necromancer. The four of them exchanged opinions, and Lin Zhiyuan stood up and asked very seriously, "Mr. Mage, are you willing to help us deal with the orcs?" ”
At a critical time, Zhang Bingdong weighed his words and said cautiously: "In addition to finding someone, I am willing to do a little bit of my best!" Haomei also added: "I have already worshipped Zhang Bingdong as a teacher, and he has also promised to help us kill the murderous demon king, the 'Fire Ghost God' Huokui Spine, and the pseudo-county within the length of the middle." After all this time together, I think he can be trusted. ”
After listening to Haomei's assurance, several people were much more relieved. Zhiyuan smiled: "I didn't expect that our Haomei not only read books, but also learned to read people!" ”
Several people laughed, and the room was filled with joy. "Mr. Master, since Haomei said so, and there is a letter of introduction from Pan Jinxiang, we will treat you as our own." Zhiyuan invited the two of them to sit down, served tea, sat down, and said sincerely: "To tell you, we are now launching an uprising in the city, and it will start in three days, so we can only do our best in these two days, whether we can find it or not depends on the heavens!" We are sorry for this. ”
Isn't it too little time to find people in two days, and I don't know much about your organization, if you just call out a few flat-headed people with kitchen knives and rush to make trouble, then I won't join in the fun and send it to death! If people don't find it, and they become cannon fodder organized by others, it will be really wronged. Seeing Zhang Bingdong's hesitation, Haomei rushed and said: "My master is also a sensible person, as long as the organization does its best, no matter whether people are found or not, my master will be obligated to start the incident, everyone can rest assured." Master, isn't it? ”
This dead girl, all you can squeeze me! Zhang Bingdong had no choice but to reluctantly say: "If I didn't find it, it's my friend's life, and I can't ask everyone to stop for me alone, so don't worry, no matter whether you find someone or not, I will do my best to revolt!" ”
After speaking, she glanced at Haomei, but the girl was eating and laughing. Seeing that Zhang Bingdong agreed, several people were happy, the necromancer was known as the most powerful mage on the battlefield, so that the uprising had another powerful force, and the uprising would be more certain.
As soon as he was happy, Zhiyuan set up a table of wine and food, and several people talked while eating. It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that there is a table of alcoholic dishes, but in fact it is just three plates of pickles, a small bottle of soju, and a bowl of musty rice per person. After the meal, (it didn't end in five minutes) the beard actually touched his stomach with satisfaction and said that he hadn't eaten such a good thing for a long time.
Zhiyuan drank the wine in his glass and said happily: "The matter is finalized." While posting notices everywhere to find people, we also asked the yamen to look for people with a lot of money, and we also asked the organization to secretly inquire about the military prostitute camps, tanning camps, cotton manufacturing camps, and cooking offices of various camps where young women are concentrated, and so on. Without further ado, let's do it now! In addition, the matter of the uprising will be done according to the previous counseling, and after three days we will see the signal! The three of them got up and took their leave.
There were only three people left in the room, sitting around the table. Haomei asked, "Teacher Zhiyuan, what are we doing now?" ”
Zhiyuan knocked on the table, pointed to a simple map on it and said with a smile: "The large army is in the north of the city, and you undead masters and apprentices will go to a place that is most suitable for you." There is a mass grave between the tanning, the cotton camp, the prisoner of war camp and the gold mine in the south of the city, and you go there as members of the corpse pulling team to wait for news and build an army of the undead. When they saw the signal of the uprising, they immediately stormed the prisoner of war camp and rescued the prisoners of war. By the way, we will dismantle the forces of the tanning battalion and the clothing and cotton battalion, and then go northwest to support the uprising in the gold mining area, and finally gather in the granary in the orc city, as long as the orc granary is burned and then withdrawn from the city, our uprising will be considered a perfect success. Zhang Bingdong said suspiciously: "We are making such a big noise, there is no reason for the garrison in the orc city to turn a blind eye, right?" ”
Zhiyuan smiled: "Of course, but there is no better opportunity than now." The 400,000 orc army is engaged with the 350,000 elite soldiers of the commander of the Central and Southern Theater of Operations. The Blood Soul Regiment responded to the front line and launched a major uprising in the southern part of Stara Province behind the enemy, and the 50,000 military horses defending the city pursued and suppressed, and now it is estimated that there are still about 20,000 beast troops and about 10,000 puppet troops left in the city, so now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for an uprising. Our original plan was to gather about 7,000 coolies, coachmen, youth, and students at the wharf in the west of the city, and about 15,000 people plus those who could be mobilized in the event of an uprising. First storm the puppet yamen, open the arsenal, and then divide into three ways to liberate the labor camp along the road, and gather at the orc granary, by this time there may be more than 20,000 people. At this time, it is good to burn the orc food and grass, if it can't, withdraw from the north gate, and then go south to find the main force of the Blood Soul Regiment.
Although the gold mines and tanning and cotton battalions in the north of the city also organized an uprising, but there was little work done there, and the main force of the uprising was beyond the reach of time and distance. The more Zhiyuan spoke, the happier he became, patted Zhang Bingdong on the shoulder, looked at the two and said, "It can be said that you are the savior of the more than 44,000 toiling people in the north of the city!" ”
"Really!" Haomei's eyes lit up excitedly, and she pulled Zhang Bingdong's arm and shook it vigorously: "Great, great, you can save so many people." The necromancer just smiled, but she was not as excited, no one cared about the 44,000 people in the north of the city, Zhang Bingdong didn't think that he was the two, to be exact, he would definitely play a turning role, maybe it was like the more than 44,000 toiling people, just playing the role of a chess piece, it was good to succeed, and it was only like that if it failed, and if one was not good, he would die!
Seeing Haomei's excitement, the scholar of Zhiyuan was even more excited, slapped the table and stood up, and said with great pride: "Once the north of the city is also successful, the south and north of the city will go together, gather the granary in the east of the city, at least there are more than 30,000 combat power, if we give some time to liberate the rest of the city, gather forty or fifty thousand combat forces, and storm the orcs' big armory, we really have the possibility to recapture Starcheng!" As long as they defend the city of Starta, the orcs will become rootless. With the help of the front, and our cooperation, it is really possible to defeat the orc army, so that we will not only change the disadvantage of the anti-beast struggle in the entire south, but also drive these mongrels back to their hometowns! Liberate the entire South in one fell swoop. ”
Haomei became more and more excited as she listened to the prospect he depicted, and unconsciously laughed out loud, and Zhang Bingdong, who was watching, shook her head. Zhang Bingdong was not as excited as them, although he also wanted to fight the orcs fiercely, but the matter of finding Ah Bing was always in his heart, and he couldn't be happy. Therefore, it is more calm to look at things than the two of them. I finally came to the city and got help from others, but I only had two days to find someone, which was too little. Looking for one person out of hundreds of thousands, two days is too little.
Ah Bing, you must live, you must let us find it, definitely.
The mass grave and the cross ridge of the corpse pulling team are a shortcut for people to get to the north of the city, and in previous years there was always an endless stream of pedestrians on the road. But today, the road is almost completely devoid of pedestrians, and if any, there are very few people walking. The reason is that the stench of dead people in Cross Ridge is too great, and there are always three or five dead people who are pulled from the gold mines in the north of the city to Cross Ridge every day, and the gold miners who either die of disease or hang themselves or are beaten to death, are always stripped naked, lying there naked, let wild wolves and wild dogs chew and bite flesh and blood, with feet and hands or legs and no head, which is miserable!
In order to reduce the interrogation of the orcs on the road, Zhiyuan took the undead master and apprentice to take this shortcut, who knew that when he saw the tragic scene on the side of the road, the performance of the two was much more than the scholar expected...... "Vomit!" …… Vomit...... Vomit......!!! The undead master and apprentice supported each other and vomited so much that it was estimated that all the food on the scholar's table was wasted on the ground.
Zhiyuan looked at the two of them helplessly, almost wondering if Zhang Bingdong was a necromancer, how could he react more than a normal person like himself, although he also reacted this way when he left once. "Let's go, it's like this when you get here, the mass grave is even worse!" Then he said angrily: "The sins of the orcs must be repaid, there are so many dead people, and you can imagine how difficult it is for the living." More than 40,000 people in the north of the city will see yours. ”
Haomei endured the discomfort, straightened up and said angrily: "Yes, we who are alive should cheer up and avenge the dead!" Pulled up Zhang Bingdong, who was still vomiting: "Master, you have to cheer up!" 40,000 people depend on you! "Oh, I ...... Vomit...... ...... vomit"
…… Although they listened to a lot of Zhiyuan's descriptions on the way and made sufficient psychological preparations, when they really arrived at the mass grave, the two were still frightened by the scene.
The "mass grave", formerly known as the loess ditch, is a deep ditch with a dendritic shape of more than 20 meters. It is located between the cotton tannery camp, the prisoner of war camp and the gold mine in the northern part of the city. Since the orcs ruled the city, the number of people who died too quickly was too late to be buried, so Loess Slope became the best gathering place for corpses in Beicheng District. As far as the eye can see, I can see violent corpses all over the ditch, crows covering the ground, wild dogs in groups, stench, and white bones and scales.
Several people were shocked by this hell on earth. Zhang Bingdong came back to his senses, only to feel bitter in his mouth, and cold hands and feet. The three of them exchanged glances, and they all couldn't wait to get out of here. Walked silently for a long time.
Zhiyuan turned his head and said to Haomei slowly: "Wild wolves form gangs at night in mass graves, competing to eat human flesh. They eat dead corpses with red eyes, and even the living don't dare to approach here, so be careful! Haomei smiled bitterly and said: "Teacher Zhiyuan, although I said that I worshipped Zhang Bingdong as a teacher, but now it is only three days and I haven't learned anything, can I not go?" ”
Zhiyuan also smiled bitterly: "Zhao Donglai of the corpse pulling team is a person from our organization, but he is usually busy with affairs, and Master Zhang Bingdong has to be busy summoning the undead, many things need you to be in the center, and the corpse pulling team is just missing a clerk, you can read and write, so you can be wronged for the time being." Yang Tian sighed and said: "You also saw just now, there are so many dead people, you can imagine how difficult it is for the living, for the sake of tens of millions of suffering compatriots, can't you bear this little suffering?" Thinking of the tens of thousands of suffering compatriots, Haomei's eyes became firm, and she swore categorically: "Teacher Zhiyuan, don't worry, for the sake of the suffering compatriots, even if I die here, I will not regret it, you can rest assured, I will never take a step back!" ”
Zhiyuan nodded and sighed: "It's hard for you, I forgot that you are just a child!" Haomei hurriedly said: "They are all 18 years old, and they are already adults!" ”
Zhiyuan nodded and said softly: "Let's go!" After walking about a mile, we came to the house where the grave keeper lived at the foot of a hill.
"Zhao Donglai!" Zhiyuan shouted in front of the house, and a middle-aged man came out, followed by five sloppy people, probably all of whom were from the corpse pulling team. All six of them have a common trait, that is, they look very haggard and have gloomy faces. Maybe it's like this when you deal with dead people a lot. The middle-aged man Zhao Donglai and Zhiyuan exchanged a few words, looked at Zhang Bingdong and Haomei and said: "The second son of the two of them has already told me, no problem, I see that they have just come, and they are not very adaptable, so let's live here for three days to get used to the environment, and then work after three days!" ”
"That's the best, they will be handed over to you to take care of, I have to leave in advance" Zhiyuan turned around and clasped Zhao Donglai's hand before leaving, looked at Zhao Donglai's eyes, and said slowly: "These days, you have to take care!" Zhao Donglai nodded, and Zhiyuan left without looking back, Zhao Donglai kept watching him go away.
When he turned around, he saw a few guys still squatting or standing at the door, and drank: "Why are you still stupid, don't go to the car!" There is something to do in the POW camp today! So a few people moved slowly, complaining in their mouths.
"In the past few days, there have been so many people dying in the prisoner of war camp, and they are going to tire me to death!" "I heard that the Blood Soul Regiment has lost another battle and captured a large number of people!" A thin young man, because he and Zhang Bingdong are the same age as the six people, Zhang Bingdong also pays more attention to him. It's just that his eyelids in one eye are half-drooping, and he doesn't know what's wrong with his eyes.
"What the hell is the battle, and you can't win, you just die on the battlefield, why do you still die here to tire us!" A bald thin man in his fifties scolded. Haomei couldn't listen to this, her eyebrows raised, and she retorted at that time: "The Blood Soul Regiment is all well-known men and heroes, are all people like you who are willing to be slaves of orcs, rotting at the feet of orcs!" ”
The old man was scolded by her and couldn't speak, but he felt embarrassed, and muttered: "It's just talking, it's necessary to react so violently, are you a member of the Blood Soul Group!" Haomei was angry by his attitude, and said loudly: "If you are a human being, you have to speak human words, although I am not a member of the Blood Soul Group, as long as I have a conscience, I will not say such a thing." ”
The others also criticized Haomei after hearing Haomei's words, and the old man stopped squeaking. The people talked about the war in the country, such as the attack of the orcs and the retreat of the front, and recently the country of Nasi raised the question of the redrawing of the national border, and stationed troops on the border, with sinister intentions. Whether the Eastern Holy Kingdom will be destroyed or not, and so on.
Zhao Donglai shouted: "What's the noise, hurry up!" So the group noisily pulled the car away.
Xiaoyan in the mass grave met Zhang Bingdong and looked at Haomei and said, "What are we going to do now?" ”
Haomei turned her head to look at him and said, "What else can I do, for the sake of 40,000 compatriots, summon an army of the undead." "I don't dare go to that place, it's disgusting!"
"For 40,000 ......" "You go with me!"
Zhang Bingdong saw that she immediately became embarrassed, and hurriedly added her words: "For the sake of 40,000 compatriots!" Haomei said with a sad face: "You are still not a necromancer?" Isn't that your necromancer's favorite place? ”
Zhang Bingdong also said with a bitter face: "I am different from those predecessors who have been poisoned by corpses and have numb consciousness, and although I have been learning necromantic magic, I have only been using necromantic magic for four days. Now that you've brought me to the city and given me such a big burden, to tell you the truth, I don't have any confidence at all. "Alright, let's go! Coward! I'm really scared of you! Hum! He turned around and went on his way in a rage.
Small wins. Zhang Bingdong followed with a grin. In order to prevent the corpse team from discovering the undead army, they had to hide the summoned undead army in the tree-shaped branch of the ditch, then they had to walk from the mouth of the ditch to the depths of the ditch branch, step on the carrion corpse, endure the stench, wave away the corpse flies, drive away the crows, and avoid the scavenging wild dogs. It's very uncomfortable just to think about it, let alone walk through it.
Of course, Zhang Bingdong opened the magic cover to cover the two of them, except for the rotting corpse under his feet, the others did not become a problem. At first, Haomei walked ahead with a fearless look, and after walking dozens of meters, she screamed, her feet slipped and staggered, and somehow, the neck of a corpse was broken, and her head rolled away, and black carrion and white maggots spilled out of her eyes. Only then did she become scared, turned around and grabbed Zhang Bingdong's arm tightly and followed. Zhang Bingdong smiled secretly, in the end, she is a girl, and she is timid!
Entering the depths of the ditch branch, the sun does not shine on the narrow ditch branch, the light is dim, and the ghost wind blows in the shadow, and it seems that a faint whimper can be heard. The corpses inside were stacked on top of each other, many of them already decomposing and exposed. The two of them looked at their feet and carefully tread on the corpse, but they could not help but see the dead man's cloudy eyes, his mouth that seemed to be about to pour out something, the wriggling maggots on the corpse, the swarms of flies, and the black blood stains...... Neither of them spoke.
Zhang Bingdong was so nervous that he almost forgot to breathe, and fear tightly captured the heart of this new necromancer who did not live up to his name, and he endured wave after wave of nausea and nausea. Zhang Bingdong felt cold sweat all over his body, and his hands and feet were cold. Haomei grabbed his arm tightly, Zhang Bingdong knew that she was no better than herself, by holding his hand, she could feel that she was trembling, and now it was her who dragged Zhang Bingdong tightly, and Zhang Bingdong dragged her away.
Suddenly, there was a muffled sound, Haomei stepped through the abdomen of a carrion corpse, her body fell, and her right foot sank straight into the carrion maggot, and she lost her knee! Haomei screamed wildly, pulled her arms around her waist, hugged Zhang Bingdong tightly and cried loudly. Zhang Bingdong was stumbled by her sudden hug, screamed in fright, and both legs sank into carrion. The feet are sticky and wet, and there is more meat. The worm wriggles, it's so disgusting that it can't be worse! The contents of the stomach are rushing up!
Zhang Bingdong wanted to pull his feet out first, but he couldn't move when he was hugged by Haomei. Seeing her so scared, crying in a mess and pitiful, it aroused a kind of courage to protect the weak. This courage made Zhang Bingdong forget everything, and just wanted to comfort this girl who was crying with her waist hugging her. He hugged her, patted her gently on the back, and comforted: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I won't leave you, I'm a necromancer, an expert in dealing with these things, don't be afraid, with me, don't be afraid of anything!" I'll always be with you! Don't be scared at all, it's just some dead stuff......"
The girl's crying was a little quieter, and Zhang Bingdong wiped away her tears and said, "Don't be afraid, I will always be here, I won't leave you, you pull out your feet first!" The girl nodded tearfully. Holding Zhang Bingdong's hand slowly, but suddenly there was an ouch, and his strength was discouraged again.
"What's wrong?" "There's a bone stuck in your foot!" The girl choked.
