In the defense circle of Runzhi City, Shen Tu Zheng looked at the dark sky, because the residents had withdrawn in front of him, there was no more flow of people and lights, there was nothing in the dark, only Run City and spotted candlelight, he had always been very unable to let go of his fellow disciples, but he couldn't leave Runzhi City for a while, and he was also very distressed.

Today's Runzhi City is built in a ring, and the huge project - Runzhicheng Defense Circle, with Runzhilou as the center, the entire Ruizhicheng has been protected layer by layer, as if it is wrapped in something, a total of four layers, in the shape of a bull's-eye, each layer will be guarded, and the outermost defense is very critical, once the outermost defense is breached, it will be easily conquered by the devil.

Therefore, there will be a lot of heavy weapons and cannonballs on the periphery, and the soldiers who organize the troops are already standing guard on the periphery, while most of the mages and one or two squads of the team are on the front line to stop the invasion of the demon army, freeing up more time to do a good job of defense, and some mages stay in Runzhi City to help the "Dividers".

"Senior Brother Shentu, we have improved all the weapons, and now they can be tested. ”

"Good. ”

The soldiers got the improved guns and practiced shooting at the target, which was indeed much stronger, and the soldiers all exclaimed and applauded.

Shen Tu Zheng hurriedly walked to an information receiving station in Runzhi Building, where it was to receive all the information of the soldiers who went to the front line, mostly very urgent information, he entered the door, the correspondent of the intelligence department was very busy, and Shen Tu Zheng casually brought in a person.

"Excuse me, is there any news over there?" Shen Tu Zheng became solemn and looked at the person intently, a little eager to get an answer.

The man shook his head, looking melancholy, and just said "not yet", and Shen Tuzheng gasped.

"Didn't the reinforcements come back?"

"Most of the reinforcements have been sent to other places, after all, Lugu is not the only place that has been attacked. The man suddenly heard someone calling him, and he hurried away with the folder.

Shen Tu Zheng was worried again, wandering around aimlessly.

"How can you be a brother, how can you leave Ah Yang. Shen Tu Zheng heard the sound of someone sobbing, with some reprimand and abuse, and he followed the sound and walked over.

"What's wrong with you?"

The choked old woman looked at Shen Tu Zheng, dressed in a white robe with strange characters, and knew that he was not a soldier, but a mage from afar.

"Are you here to help our mage?" the old woman asked him, her eyes open, still tugging at his robe.

"I am, I am. ”

In a moment the old woman fell to her knees and snapped all over, probably because of her old age and loose bones, and she was shaking all over her body and weeping even more.

"Master, you have to save my grandson, my grandson is still outside, please. The old woman's face was haggard, her eyes became red and puffy, the old man's face was covered with spots, her temples and white hair were messy and disorderly, her body was thin and trembling all the time, and her vicissitudes of life really made Shen Tuzheng feel sad.

"It's all my fault, I shouldn't have left my brother, we originally fled to the defensive circle, but my brother was suddenly lost, I couldn't find my brother, and finally only me and my grandmother arrived in Runzhicheng, after coming here, I regretted it very much, and I have been condemning myself, I was looking for help from the search and rescue team, but I didn't expect the search and rescue team to go and not return. Next to the old woman was the lost brother of Ah Yang, and as he spoke, tears began to fall, and he bit his lip fiercely, and he could see how repentant he was.

Shen Tu Zheng thought about it for a while, and coupled with the bitter pleading of the old woman and the young man, it was inevitable that he would be moved by compassion in the end.

"Okay, I want to find a way to save your grandson, old woman, get up. Shen Tuzheng gently helped the old woman up, the old woman struggled to support her legs, and the young man next to her also supported the old woman.

And so he agreed.

In the dead of night, Shen Tu Zheng returned to the Runzhi Building, hurriedly packed up his things, inserted the weapon into the leather wallet and tied it around his waist, did not forget to tie the black pottery gourd, brought the kettle, secretly opened the door, and poked his head to see if there were any patrols outside.

When it was quiet, he sneaked out of the Runzhi Building and ran to the outermost defensive circle, and in order to stop the sound of the collision and friction of weapons and water bottles when he was no longer moving, he always paid attention to holding his weapons and water bottles, and while running, he avoided the patrolling soldiers, and sometimes hid behind the walls to spy on them.

Shen Tu Zheng walked to the second defense circle from the inside to the outside, and there were more people in the second defense circle than the soldiers in the center, and they were all carrying automatic rifles and machine guns on the lookout, Shen Tu Zheng did not rush out, but observed the surrounding environment, and an idea came to his heart.

"There's a lot of people here, so we'll have to figure it out. ”

So, he made the gesture that the mage was used to, and suddenly Shen Tu Zheng's body became more and more transparent, from head to toe in an orderly manner from the entity to the transparent, this is the mage's stealth technique, but this stealth technique has a shortcoming, that is, the time limit, only a short ten minutes, due to academic inadequacy, probably only like the sect and hair care level can be more durable.

After Shen Tu Zheng's whole body was transparent, he made a preparatory posture for the start, he wanted to use the speed as light as a hair to cross the remaining two outer defense circles, so that he could do it once and for all, but the speed had to keep up, otherwise when the spell failed, the original form would be discovered, and it would be half the effort.

Shen Tu Zheng was like a bird with wings, very light, skimming the ground, running like the wind, kicking his front feet, easily churning on the low wall, no one saw that anyone was walking by, but felt a cool breeze coming, the flame in the brazier on the side was dim in color and fluttering, due to the large speed of air flow, the fire flickered and dimmed, and the moment it was about to be extinguished rekindled, and the soldiers were very surprised to see it.

Shen Tu Zheng was very anxious in his heart, in order to get out of the defensive circle as soon as possible, he sped up, but he found that his body began to flash and flash, thinking that it was not good, the time was almost up, just when he was anxious, the dawn of victory was in front of him, the fourth defensive circle arrived, and what was blocked in front of him was the cold defensive wall of steel, Shen Tu Zheng raised his head while running, thinking about rushing from the bottom of the wall to the top of the wall, in one go, he stepped on a small stone under the wall, with the help of this small stone to raise a few centimeters, and then jumped up, lying flat, running along the protective wall, in order to otherwise press the center of gravity down, Shen Tu Zheng moderately stabilized his body and increased his paceand keep going up.

At the moment when he climbed to the top, his body had already appeared, and just a patrolling soldier turned his head, and Shen Tu Zheng was at this moment, at the edge of the defensive wall, he fell slowly, not rubbing the wall with his feet, increasing the resistance.

"It's so dangerous, it's finally out. ”

As soon as the words fell, the searchlight of the lookout came to a "sharp turn", and a dazzling bright light shone on the edge of the defensive wall, for fear of being discovered by the sentry, Shen Tu Zheng immediately ran towards the dark side, the light of the searchlight never played cards according to common sense, and suddenly snapped to his heels, and suddenly the light turned to his head, fortunately he was clever and squatted down in time.

Shen Tu Zheng stuck to the wall, grotting all the way in the dark, and soon, he ran out of the range of the searchlight and entered a deserted and eerie area.

"Oh my God, this place, it's so scary when it's daylight, and it's so terrifying at night. Shen Tuzheng walked out of the defensive circle for the first night and saw this scene terrifying.

"I'm a mage, I'm afraid of this, and I'm going to be laughed at when I say it. Shen Tu Zheng slapped his face fiercely, took a deep breath, and encouraged himself to reduce psychological pressure.

He took out the map that his brother had given him from his small pocket, and although it was wrinkled and floating, and the drawing was a little clumsy, it could only be used improvised, and some of the routes were quite accurate.

"I'll take a look, this coordinate is where Ah Yang is gone, then I have to go like this. Shen Tuzheng looked at the map very carefully, analyzed all the routes, and followed the route guided by the map. Along the way, the bones are all over the field, some are still dried corpses, not long after they died, the towering trees around have already become bare dead branches, the dead branches are like black claws stretching out to the darkness, and a lot of long white strips are tied to the dead branches, in such a dark night, those white stripes have been floating in the sky, the wind is blowing, the sound is extremely harsh, as if the wandering ghost is attracting people passing by, floating very weird, it really makes people shudder, in addition to the ruins after the war, the gravel falling all over the ground, and the rugged land and rocks that are full of blood, the water here is dry, there is no grass, there is no life at all, not to mention that this is still a plateau with a harsh environment。 And for some reason, since the Demon Army, at night, the temperature dropped suddenly, and Shen Tu Zheng sneezed while walking, and shivered after the fight.

"Oh my God, why is it so far away, didn't you say that it is dozens of meters?" Shen Tu Zheng was a little tired, he couldn't see this inaccessible world for a long time, not to mention whether there were people or animals, not even a single undead, besides, this plateau is vast, the terrain is undulating, this road is not very easy to walk, and it is not yet dawn, so he can only walk in the dark.

He found a covered ruin to rest, took out the map, looked at it for a long time, looked at the map, looked around, and suddenly smiled.

"It turns out that it's here, and the emperor lives up to his wishes. He was glad that he was not far from finding the coordinates, and just as he was laughing, suddenly, a voice sounded.

"Who is it, who is there?" Shen Tu Zheng took out his gun and heard a whining sound not far away, this sound was sometimes long and sometimes short, a bit like a mournful sound, Shen Tu Zheng was fully armed, with all kinds of runes and magic weapons on his body, and walked over cautiously step by step.

"Who is it, answer me, undead, or demon?" He was still very vigilant, shouting and walking two steps at the same time, walking, he saw a dilapidated tower-like temple in front of him, now it was dilapidated, the stone platform was uneven, the tile roof exposed a hole larger than the other, the collapse caused by the fracture of the beams and columns, the shape of the door frame and porch could still be seen, some of the gods inside had been sparsely broken, but in the pile of ruins piled up by the doors, windows and tile walls, the voice became clearer and clearer, Shen Tu Zheng carefully lifted those tiles and lime walls, this scene made Shen Tu Zheng's face turn iron blue.

"Little brother, why are you here?" he saw a little boy squatting with his legs folded with his back to him, and something would make a whining sound, like a nasal voice holding his breath.

"My brother and I were separated, my brother couldn't find me, and I was scared, so I hid here and didn't dare to come out. ”

"Is your name Ah Yang?"

"That's right, big brother, how do you know my name?" the little boy kept his back to Shen Tuzheng, and he was still smiling.

"Your grandmother asked me to come to you, and she cried and cried and begged me, so I sneaked out and took you back. ”

Shen Tu Zheng felt a little uneasy in his heart, he always felt that this child was very wrong, he tried to find a way to make him turn around, so he began to try.

"Ah Yang, don't be afraid, there is a big brother here, I'll take you back, you turn around. Shen Tu Zheng held his breath and waited for the little boy to turn around.

"Big brother, thank you for coming to save me. The little boy smiled, which surprised Shen Tuzheng.

"It was your grandmother who begged me bitterly, and I can see that your grandmother loves you very much. Shen Tu Zheng touched the little boy's shoulder, frowned, and looked at him in confusion.

The little boy turned his head stiffly, and when he saw the side of his face, he found that his face was pale, and his cheeks were covered with black blood tendons, his body was motionless, as if he was fixed there, only his head was turned around, and he would not feel uncomfortable, like a marionette pulling strings, but when the little boy turned his head, Shen Tuzheng's face was blue.

"What's the matter, what's the matter, it's become an evil spirit?" Shen Tu Zheng immediately rubbed back, holding a gun at the little boy, the true face of the little boy finally saw clearly, ordinary people can't twist their heads to connect their backs in a straight line, his neck can always make a clicking sound, his pupils have become completely black, his eye sockets are sunken inward, his face is pale and gray, his mouth is deformed, it is directly cracked, and his mouth is full of conical tiger teeth, dripping those dark green liquids.

"Big brother, aren't you going to take me to see grandma, what's wrong?" The little boy has very good bone toughness, his limbs and body can twist, his posture is like that of a spider, and his steps are like that of a cat, which is very weird, and almost all of them crawl.

"You're an evil spirit, and I can't sit idly by. Shen Tu Zheng raised his gun and aimed at the head of the evil spirit, the evil spirit quickly climbed to the top of the abandoned temple with its powerful limbs, and in an instant, the evil spirit pounced on him from the top of the temple, Shen Tu Zheng dodged it quickly, he rolled on the ground, when he got up, he pulled out a series of true spirit runes from his pocket, which was full of runes, he read those rune words, chattering, and still gesturing at the true spirit bar, and when all the work was done, Shen Tu Zheng threw the true spirit rune at the evil spirit, saying that it was too late and that was fast, just when he was about to tie up the evil spirit, the evil spirit cunningly tore the true spirit bar, broke free from it, and crawled towards every corner。

"This evil spirit is very powerful, and even the true spirit bar can break free. ”

"Big brother, didn't you say that you took me to see my grandmother, why did you lie to me?" The evil spirit suddenly became violent, destroying the surroundings everywhere, and being tossed by the evil spirit, the entire temple was turned into tofu scum and completely razed to the ground.

"Are you really Ah Yang?" In fact, Shen Tu Zheng took a photo given to him by that buddy, and he compared it, and it was indeed somewhat similar, especially the family heirloom jade on the neck of the evil spirit, and he was even more sure that that person was Ah Yang.

"Yes, I'm Ah Yang, I remember, that's the name my grandmother gave me, my grandmother loves me, she gives me the best meat buns every day, my parents have never been able to take care of me, only my grandmother is good to me in this world. ”

"How did you die?"

"Hmph, how to die, since the invasion of demons, nearly half of the people in our village have died, and one or two souls have not been left, no one saved me at that time, no one came to save me, I was starved to death, very desperate, I hate this world, I hate demons, I hate humans. ”

"You're resentful too much. ”

Shen Tu Zheng held the gun heavily and pointed it at the evil spirit.
