Chapter 12: The Ghoul of the Wasteland, the Fallen of Miyagi
At night, after taking a bath, lie on your back on the tatami mats that are characteristic of Toei, and you will be able to clean your whole body with plenty of food and drink, and your skin will become sensitive.
The evening breeze blows through the body, making the dryness gradually subside, and it is really refreshing in autumn. The katana is placed close to his hand, and now he doesn't sleep too much, and as long as there is a slight sound around him, he will instinctively draw his sword and slash and slash.
In the past, I always thought that Cao Mengde's "good murder in dreams" was the pretense posture of a generation of traitorous males, but now Zhu Peng feels that his habit is very likely to be true, and if he has been on the bloody line of life and death for a long time, people's stress reactions will become more acute and simple and direct.
“zZ,zzZ”
“zZ,zzZ,zzZ......”
It is rare to have the opportunity to eat and drink enough and sleep sweetly, and today Zhu Peng slept very soundly.
In the darkness of the night, a thin figure crawled out of a small hole in the room, he waited quietly for a while, and after making sure that Zhu Peng was indeed sleeping soundly, he crept up, and then approached little by little.
Choke!
The afterglow of the room seemed to be condensed by the long knife that was bright in the snow, and the next moment the samurai long knife that seemed to glow by itself was at the throat of Hoshino Maya, she was the mistress shared by several generations of bosses, and it was really normal to know some secret doors.
"You have five seconds to explain why you're here. While speaking, Zhu Peng, who was a little dazed and woke up, covered his face with one hand and stabbed forward with a long knife in the other. The skin in Hoshino Maya's throat was pierced and blood beads overflowed, and the blood reflected the white skin that looked strangely miserable!
"I know where your father is!" shouted these words, closing his eyes tightly and waiting for the judgment of fate.
I don't know how long it took, Hoshino Maya slowly opened his eyes, but what he saw was that Zhu Peng had already put the katana into the sheath.
"You know...... Then why didn't you say it before, and if there is no reasonable explanation, I promise to cut you a hundred times before you die. Sitting cross-legged, supporting his head with his hands, Zhu Peng was still a little drowsy, a rare good sleep was interrupted, if it weren't for Hoshino Maya really chose the right words to deal with, she would have been pierced through the throat by a blade just now.
"I don't know where your father is...... But I know who knows where he is, please take me away, take me out of here, what I know must be of great help to you in finding your father. As she spoke, Maya Hoshino unbuttoned her kimono and peeled off her clothes, and under the gorgeous clothes was a bumpy girl's body, which was not yet eighteen years old like Ikemika, and her young skin was white, soft, and delicate.
"Give you these things to eat, go to the other side of the house and try not to make a sound, and if you come over again, I will kill you for whatever reason. Zhu Peng knows himself, and if he sees it too much, he can't help but go to the arch family, and with his temperament, he is another troublesome burden.
Pushing a bunch of food beside him to the other party with a katana, Zhu Peng fell asleep on his side on the other side of the room. Maya Hoshino stood in place for a while, then she put on her clothes and carried the food to the other side of the room, huddled in the corner and clicked and whispered to eat the cookies, she ate very carefully and greedily, even the crumbs of the chocolate chip cookies would be carefully licked clean, and tears were shed while eating, only more than half a year, but the memories of the past were as long as a century between them. This night, there were no words.
The next day, when Zhu Peng was fully asleep and woke up, Hoshino Maya had already prepared water for him to wash, looking at the busy appearance of this kimono girl in the room, Kawada Inu and those women were all envious.
Maya Hoshino obviously told them with his actions that he had once again completed the myth of "re-election".
"What do you know? How on earth can I find my father?" Zhu Peng suddenly asked after breakfast.
And Hoshino Maya, who had been prepared for this for a long time, was not in a hurry, and she replied fluently: "I have followed five masters before and after, and I have learned a lot of information from them that ordinary people cannot know, and if you want to find your father, you can only ask the 'wasteland ghoul'." Although they are called ghouls, in fact they are the only 'people' in this land who still retain their own civilization, at least, they are already the most human-like. ”
A smart person will not tell the kind of lie that can be easily exposed, and the fact that Hoshino Maya has been able to survive in this troubled world as a completely weak woman shows that she is definitely not stupid.
It's just that, looking at her faintly trembling hand when she was holding the food, Zhu Peng secretly sighed in his heart. This girl has eaten too much human flesh, cannibalism and does not know how to choose and protect herself, which has caused serious physical and mental damage to her, Hoshino Maya seems to be healthy and normal, but she is actually probably the most insane of all the people in this settlement.
However, with Maya Hoshino's description, Zhu Peng still chose to believe her description of the wasteland ghoul.
Wasteland ghouls, that is a group of people who adhere to the last bottom line of human civilization, they eat human flesh, but never hunt for eating human flesh, they only eat the flesh of the dead and even the flesh of the corpse, and kill germs as much as possible through pressure cooker cooking and other methods, which is also the origin of the word ghoul.
They inherit human civilization and stick to the final bottom line, but don't think that they are easy to get along with, in fact, no matter how you deal with it, long-term cannibalism will eventually make their minds and bodies react deformed, and the world has become extremely unsafe after all, so their stress aggression is also very strong.
However, the wasteland ghouls still maintain one of the characteristics of human civilization: trading, they will consciously retain all kinds of knowledge and information, and it is not an exaggeration to call them "omniscient" in the world of the Eastern Doomsday Wasteland.
The reason why Hoshino Maya knew about their existence was because they would consciously look for some "organizations" to expand their business, but ordinary organizations would not be able to pay precious survival materials for knowledge and intelligence, even if it was the corpses of the same kind that died.
"The ghouls I know are entrenched near Miyazaki Prefecture, and I don't know how many of them are still alive, but there are ways for them to exchange information, and if you find one of them, you have a good chance of finding your father. ”
“...... Why don't you have to come with me if I give you half of this food and complete the deal?"
"This area is about to be overwhelmed, Kawada Dog doesn't have enough strength and power to suppress those ghost women, and it is not easy for those ghost women to kill Kawada Dog, no matter who they win or lose, I have no room to live here anymore. After all, my biggest skill is to separate my legs for a man to, and Kawada Inu ...... He is not a man, and only by following you will I have a better chance of living. Hoshino Maya said this, Zhu Peng didn't say anything when he heard this, just looked at Hoshino Maya's hand that would keep shaking when he ate, Zhu Peng felt that no matter how much he struggled, this girl would die soon.
After breakfast, Zhu Peng found an oil tricycle to pull supplies and Hoshino Maya away, as for the final outcome of the Kawada dogs and those ghost women in this settlement, it is up to them to choose their own fate.
Dongying's road is well repaired, but after the lack of human civilization, the plants on both sides began to spread wildly, and some abnormal corpse beasts can even compare the speed with the oil tricycle, in the process of running on the road, the flesh of the two was seen by a group of giant rats whose bodies swelled dozens of times after the corpse, and they attacked and killed in groups, and the speed of the outbreak could really catch up with the oil tricycle.
"You come to drive, be careful, I'll be fine if the car rolls over, I'm afraid you'll have to feed the rats." One hand held the direction, and the other arm dragged Hoshino Maya to make her sit in the driver's seat and take the handle, and the next moment Zhu Peng turned over and landed in the back box of the tricycle, which was filled with engine oil fuel and some daily necessities, and Zhu Peng pulled out the snow shiny katana he was carrying in it, and any corpse giant rat pounced on it, all of them would be slashed by a sword, and the blood would be splattered.
Fortunately, these giant rats themselves have not gained any magical power except for physical strengthening, otherwise with their number and fecundity, it won't take long for Dongying to become a corpse rat island, and some people think that after the destruction of human beings, rats will become the next overlord of the earth, which is indeed not completely unreasonable.
"Ah......h
At this moment, there was a sudden exclamation from Hoshino Maya behind him, Zhu Peng suddenly turned around when he heard the sound, but saw a large number of abandoned cars blocking the road in front of him, although it was not completely empty, but if you want to cross the past safely at this moment, I am afraid that you need Hoshino Maya Akina's tricycle driving skills.
(Girl, it's time for you to show off your skills!)
complained in his heart, and the next moment the tricycle hit the butt of the abandoned vehicle straight up. food, engine oil, and even Zhu Peng, who was dragging Hoshino Maya by the collar at the moment before the crash, and the giant rat that flew and bitten, flew all over the sky.
.....................
If the center of gravity is unbalanced, martial arts will not be able to be displayed, which is also the fundamental reason why traditional martial arts attach so much importance to horse step pile gong.
Even the body technique in the Dongying martial arts system is just an imbalance in the center of gravity, and the backhand fight at the moment when the frame is dispersed is a last resort, not a mainstream technique.
It fell heavily to the ground, and the giant rats on all sides pounced on Zhu Peng's body, fluffy and dense, if a dense phobia patient saw this scene in front of him, he was afraid that his heart would collapse directly.
These corpse giant rats have a high IQ and know who is a threat, so they besiege Zhu Peng first.
fell heavily on the ground, but because of Zhu Peng's last pull, after all, the injury was not serious, and there was some blood on his forehead, and Hoshino Maya, who was a little bleeding on his forehead, got up and saw the man who was encircled, and her first reaction was to flee, but the next moment she reacted, with the speed of these giant rats around her, they chased and killed Zhu Peng after eating them, and she couldn't escape at all!
(Fight hard, I can only survive if he lives.) Searching around, he finally picked up the oil drum next to him, and finally staggered over it, but at this moment, a crimson blood-colored shockwave spread around the man who was encircled.
The giant rats on all sides and even the Hoshino Maya who rushed forward with the oil drum were all knocked upside down by the crimson blood-colored shockwave, and then slammed on the ground, before passing out, Hoshino Maya suddenly saw the man standing up intact, he was holding a blood-colored giant sword, dedicated to the raging flames, it was like a layer of boiling blood and fire soup, pure, purified, refined, and like the rising sun that had just risen in the distance of the sky. In the next moment, the extremely weak Hoshino Maya really passed out.
When Hoshino Maya came to his senses again, the pot he brought out was boiling with rich broth, and looking at the tumbling legs inside, it was obvious that the giant rats had been hunted instead of hunting.
“...... I thought you'd just walk away. ”
"People respect me for a foot, and I am a foot for me. Whatever the reason, you didn't abandon me and run away in the face of danger, am I not even a woman?"
"No, eat some broth. Don't worry, I chose the muscle part and simmered it in boiling water repeatedly, so there should be no problem. "Take a bowl and put some rat meat soup for the girl who has just woken up, in fact, the rat meat tastes good, especially Zhu Peng's repeated blending and cooking mellow, although he resisted a little at first, but after finding that the taste was really good, Hoshino Maya devoured it in a big gulp.
However, as she ate, the girl suddenly began to weep with tears in her eyes, and she covered her face with the bowl in her hand, which could only be hidden under the bright bonfire.
"What's wrong, it's not appetizing?" sucking on the meat and bones, Zhu Peng asked with a raised brow. This soup tastes good.
"No, it's not. It's just a little ...... It's a little uncomfortable, why didn't I meet adults earlier. With tears on her cheeks, Maya Hoshino smiled like this, but it made people feel even more desolate.
"yes. Hiss, many times I often have similar exclamations, hiss...... Why can't I always touch a good trader, hiss!" At this time, a word suddenly interjected, and Zhu Peng suddenly stood up when he heard the sound, but under the cover of the surrounding vehicles, he did not find who the person was.
"Information on human settlements, hygiene manuals for eating corpse animals, and ways to escape from Dongying. Powerful Apostle of Doom, don't look for it, if there is no way to hide from you, will you and I be able to survive until now?" After some searching, Zhu Peng finally found a small drone painted with a concealed color in the night sky, this thing was sold online before the end came, and it looked like such a high-tech thing, it was not very expensive.
"Do you sell any information? Okay, I want this man's current position. Watching the small drone in the high altitude slowly descending, its probe aimed at himself, Zhu Peng pulled out the photo from his butt pocket and aimed it at the camera.
At the same time, on the other side of the drone, an old man hiding in the basement was covered in horrific corpse spots staring at the photo, and when he saw the person in the photo, the old man was stunned for a moment, and then looked up and laughed.
"It turns out that you are his son! No wonder, no wonder ......"
"Do you know my father?" Zhu Peng frowned slightly when he heard this, could it be that his father was still a celebrity with a certain reputation in the other party's circle?
"It's very expensive to buy information about your relatives, can you afford it?" didn't answer Zhu Peng's words, the old man behind the drone said.
Frowning slightly, Zhu Peng, who knew that he was afraid of being ripped off, didn't say much, he came to the side to sort out the materials and the corpse of the giant rat that fell from the tricycle, and then pushed it over.
"Is it enough?"
"There seems to be some around you, as the apostle of doom, it is far easier for you to live than us, do you still have to reserve it for your relatives?"
"Those are not mine, I promised to give them to the woman. If you agree, I'll give you all that belongs to me, and if you don't, although I'd love to complete the deal with you, I don't have any supplies, and I can only go find other ghouls!" Standing in front of the pile of supplies, Zhu Peng said as he stared at the drone.
“............ Okay, then deal. After a moment of silence, it made such a sound, and then its wings spun in spun accelerate, and it turned back and flew away.
After about twenty minutes, the drone returned again, and then the voice-activated system above said: "Follow this drone, the map of where your father is is on it, but for the safety of both sides of this transaction, it will take you to a farther place and land, if you agree, then follow along." ”
The drone in mid-air was obviously modified, flew quite far, and deliberately took Zhu Peng to some cliffs to open up a relatively farther straight line.
Half an hour later, the drone slowly landed in front of Zhu Peng. Zhu Peng hurriedly walked over and took out the map above, which was a map of the Dongying border, and one of the places was marked with a red circle: "Kumamoto Prefecture, Miyagi's house." ”
When Zhu Peng saw this map and this address, he knew that the wasteland ghoul who had been hiding in the shadows had not deceived himself, because Miyagi Castle in Kumamoto Prefecture was not too far from Miyazaki, and if he deliberately deceived himself and went directly to Hokkaido, it would take him more than a year to go back and forth for verification.
"Be careful, the current Miyagi family is the place where the craziest degenerates are entrenched, even if you have the power of the Doomsday Apostle, you will die in it if you are not careful. ”
"Besides, little girl, do you want to stay here with your uncle? This guy is going to a very dangerous place, and it will be very difficult for you to live, if you wish, you can stay with my uncle and me, and I will take care of you from now on." The unmanned helicopter turned its head and said this, but it was talking to Hoshino Maya, who had just followed behind Zhu Peng.
"He's right, Maya, I don't have much energy to take care of you. This guy should have some material reserves and self-protection ability, and if you are with him, you can live relatively long in this apocalyptic wasteland. Turning around with the map, Zhu Peng said this, although it may not sound good to say this, but for himself, Hoshino Maya is a burden with little actual opinion, if he can get rid of it at this time, it will be a good thing.
"Your Excellency...... Do you think so, my lord?" Hoshino Maya's face turned a little pale, but after a moment she smiled bitterly and nodded in agreement. Maya Hoshino has always been a very sensible girl, and she knows very well what choices she can make again and again from a realistic point of view in order to live longer.
After Zhu Peng left, the old ghoul old man in the underground warehouse in the distance brought the delicate and timid Hoshino Maya home.
"Maya, although I am a little old, in this apocalypse, I have a solid fortress, enough food reserves for us to eat for twenty years, and I can continue to earn back more supplies, you can follow me with peace of mind in the future. There are good things to eat and drink together, there are all kinds of video games, audio and video in the back room, in short, after me, you will never have another hard day. Although he was old and had terrifying corpse spots on his body, the old man was full of pride when he said this.
After eating a meal of milk and rat meat together, looking at the Dongying girl sitting there on her side, the full chest and slender waist and slender legs, the old man couldn't bear to lean on it anymore, in fact, he was not as old as he looked, but he had been alone in the dark room for many years, and he had exhausted his organs for many years, which made him extremely old, but he also longed for a young and beautiful body even more.
Suddenly, however, the old man's eager movements stopped. After twisting the knife in his hand, Hoshino Maya turned over and overwhelmed the old man, pulled out the fruit knife and stabbed him with his backhand, the blood splashing on her cheek made her look like a female ghost.
"Don't you really think that two people can eat food for twenty years, and one person can eat food for forty years. ”
"I ...... Thought of it. However, a person ...... It's really lonely to be alone, really arrow. Stretching out his palm, trembling and caressing the girl's tender cheek, the thoughtful and careful ghoul old man said with a smile.
It's not that he didn't expect this ending, he gave the best conditions he could give, but in exchange for a knife without hesitation.
(I...... If you are willing to gamble, then admit defeat. )
..................
Two months later, Zhu Peng came to Kumamoto Prefecture with a long knife, Miyagi's house.
It was originally the family residence of a shogun in the Warring States period of the Toei period, and the entire castle was built according to the mountainous terrain, although it is not magnificent and majestic, but it can also be called exquisite and magnificent.
It's just that now the building is occupied by a large number of degenerates, the Apostles of Doom, who refer to the supernatural evolutionaries after the end of the Eastern Empire, and the ghouls of the wasteland, who refer to the adherents of the last civilization and the adherents of the principle of trade.
The degenerate, on the other hand, refers to a group of people who have completely abandoned their own humanity and completely returned to their animal nature, and have disregarded everything except survival.
When Zhu Peng came to the city of Miyagi's house, it was just dusk, and the sound of drinking and music and the screams of women could be faintly heard inside through the city wall.
(It's really blind to this city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and if the terrain is unguarded, what's the use?) Shaking his head and sighing, he found a corner of the city wall, Zhu Peng tied his katana behind him, and then climbed and jumped up along the edge of the wall.
Maybe no one has ever dared to provoke, Zhu Peng saw a group of men with guns and sticks shouting and insulting around several disheveled women in kimonos, and in the iron pot on the side, a woman who had been cooked floated at the same time...... Indeed, they have completely degenerated into a pack of wild beasts.
Instead of drawing his sword directly, Zhu Peng followed the ornate and bright layout of the city to find the direction of the core area of the building, and finally he found the leader of this degenerate organization and many leaders in the building of a small palace, they were feasting and drinking.
At the top of the center of the banquet sat a giant man in iron armor, flanked by two murderous weapons that looked like knives and saws, and just by looking at them, you could faintly feel how many resentful spirits were attached to them.
"Gentlemen, drink together!" the beast-like ironclad man raised the wine bowl in front of him, and he whispered like thunder, which also made the atmosphere of the leaders below even more atmospheric.
"Chi Yejun, Chi Yejun, let's have another drink together!"
"No, no, I can't hold on. Pushing aside the leaders who came to persuade the drink, Ikeya Hamazawa, who was the leader of the red people, came to the toilet with a flushed cheek.
In the toilet, there are two women in kimonos waiting here, they are already relatively old, of course, not for sleeping, but to prepare hot water and towels, when the leaders urinate, with hot towels applied to the back of the leaders, this is a kind of maintenance secret technique inherited from ancient China, once or twice has no effect, but if you can persist for a long time, it can indeed play a role in nourishing the kidneys and strengthening the yang.
Ikeya Hamasawa was shushing, when there was a sudden sound of popping and falling to the ground behind him, and the next moment, a cold and shiny katana fell across his neck from behind. When urinating, he was suddenly frightened, which would seriously damage his kidneys, and Ikeya Hamasawa was suddenly affected by this, and he was suddenly drenched.
"Brother...... Brother, you"
"Tell me, where is this man?" handed over the photo that had been folded in advance, this time Zhu Pengxue was obedient, he folded the photo so that only Zhu Youxi's face was revealed, so that others would not see through the relationship too easily.
Although I don't really care, being ripped off is never a good experience.
"This man...... He, he ...... "Looking at the man in the photo, Ikeya Hamasawa seemed a little surprised, and he was a little speechless for a while.
"What's wrong with him? Where? Cooperate a little to find him, I promise it won't be difficult for you. At this moment, dull footsteps like thunder suddenly came from far and near, accompanied by the sound of humming like a chainsaw.
"I ...... I feel the killing intent!"
With this somewhat familiar low roar, the next moment, two rounds of blood-red jagged blades in fierce operation broke through the wooden house and slashed in, like a crazy surging blood-colored madness.
Dongying is located at the junction of plates, within the seismic zone, so earthquakes are frequent, and therefore Dongying's houses mostly adopt a relatively light bamboo and wood structure, after all, the earth and stone structure is too easy to die if it collapses, especially the ancient buildings of Dongying, which is mostly civil and wooden structures, which is also close to the ancient style of the Tang and Song dynasties in China.
It's just that the wars in China were too frequent, and most of the ancient civil and wooden buildings that were not particularly sturdy were destroyed.
"Big brother...... I don't have anything" The blood-colored tornado-like double sword light swept over, and Zhu Peng's long knife retreated after hitting each other with his hands, but the leader Chi Ye Hamasawa was not so lucky, he was instantly smashed by the blood-colored sword light of the iron-clad giant, and the next moment two rounds of sword light storms swept more violently.
Rusi broke the house with one blow, and the power of smashing people with one blow was almost not like that of a human, but the ironclad giant man was carrying two things similar to small engines on his body, and under the connection of several metal wires, his combat posture was really a combination of attack and defense, like a demon god.
The leader of this degenerate organization does not seem to be in a very stable mental state, and his murderous nature is even more ridiculous, obviously in the base camp of the party, his first reaction after discovering the invaders is not to call people to surround and annihilate, but to kill them frantically himself.
Zhu Peng saw that this group of guys was afraid that he would be less, but he was afraid that his boss would be more, and this obviously usually did not "mistakenly kill" his companions.
However, the steel giant in front of him had red eyes, wielding two chainsaws with full horsepower, which was really deterrent enough, Zhu Peng's leg footwork was superb and explosive, and he could even be in the first moment when the opponent's chainsaw swung on him, his physical energy exploded, and the displacement speed of his body method was even faster than the opponent's swinging speed in an instant, not to mention that the opponent's knife trajectory was also very clear, so although his weapon was indeed a little strange, Zhu Peng was not worried for a while under the tossing and avoidance.
"Ahh
"Ahh
From time to time, there were screams of women or men in his ears, and Zhu Peng deliberately led the bulldozer in front of him to demolish the house, consuming as much of his physical strength as possible in a short period of time. At the same time, after the buffer of this period of time, there are also some leaders who do have the guts/delusions to fight for wealth and danger to attack with knives, wanting to create an opportunity for the big man to kill.
But after three or five leaders who had practiced kendo and were not weak were killed by the young swordsman in an instant, the rest of the leaders were quiet again, and people dared to come and take risks alone, it seems that they really have a considerable level of strength.
Boom, under Zhu Peng's deliberate calculation, the beast-like iron-armored blood-bladed man was completely buried by the house that he had collapsed, and in the moment before the house collapsed, Zhu Peng himself smashed through the window like a swimming fish and escaped.
(Almost, right?, no matter how good the physical fitness is, even if it is the physical fitness of the Doomsday Apostle, fighting like this with such heavy armor, and being pressed again, there should be little physical fitness left, right?) Martial arts is not a long-distance run, in fact, the physical fitness of the vast majority of martial artists is not necessarily better than that of athletes, but more is to burst out of physical energy in the shortest possible time to form the most condensed attack power, and then hit the opponent's vital point.
The vast majority of mainstream martial artists are actually similar to the assassins in the conventional concept of the world, which is one of the reasons why Buddhist martial arts are often the leaders of the righteous path in China, because this mainstream martial art is actually a kind of biased and unconventional way.
Buddhism, Taoism, and martial arts, which pursue the dual evolution and strengthening of the body and mind, are often added to the color of religious beliefs. This may be the reason that those who seek above get it, those who seek it get it, and those who seek it below get nothing.
Ordinary secular martial artists pursue more powerful force and instant lethality, which is to seek their subordinates, and even their physical fitness is not even better than ordinary people, and they are not necessarily healthier than ordinary people. The pursuit of health is to seek it.
The true Buddhist monks pursue the dual evolution of the body and mind, the pursuit of the path of the immortal Buddha, the door of all wonders, which is to seek the top and get it, but because of this attitude, they have become the leader of martial arts in China and even in Asia, just like the world-famous Shaolin Kung Fu and Taijiquan spread throughout Asia. Although, this is not necessarily what they wanted in the first place.
Between the ruins of the collapsed houses, Zhu Peng was surrounded by a group of degenerate leaders and even a growing number of degenerate minions, Zhu Peng didn't mind much, these people were not regular troops, a group of rabble, chickens and dogs, as long as they killed some, their morale would soon collapse, and what really made Zhu Peng care was the buried ironclad giant in front of him.
Although this guy has suffered a loss, the oppressive force brought to Zhu Peng is getting stronger and stronger, and at the same time, this guy's body shape is also more and more in line with someone in Zhu Peng's impression.
