In the mission introduction, after the official quarantine order was issued, more than 100 'infected people' in the entire nine districts were on the run, and a large number of them were lurking in the mountains and forests outside the residents' safe shelter area.

Xia Chan looked at the three swords that had just been maintained on the wall, the ironwood sword, the ordinary alloy sword given by the eldest brother, and the empty green sword ordered by Concubine Xu and Sister Xu, and finally took off the empty green sword and came out through the window.

Half an hour later, he had gone deep into the dense forest, which was rarely visited.

The reason why he dared to apply for the picket mission was due to the expansion of Xiaohai's group, which had expanded to the entire water source and forest in the entire Nine Districts within a few months, and those 'infected' who fled to the wilderness became candles in the night in Xiaohai's perception.

Deep in the woods, near the stream, a pair of disgraced father and son were eating their humble lunch in front of a campfire.

The boy had no interest in the half-cooked grilled fish stuck in the branches, and after eating the cassava that had been plucked out of the ashes of the bonfire, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and sat obediently watching his father gobble it up, and at this young age he looked sad.

"Dad, when are you going to be home?"

"When I go home, I don't have a home, and those people won't let my dad go. The middle-aged man spat out a bloodshot fishtail and spit viciously, grabbing the last one of the charcoal-black cassava as he spoke.

"Dad, I'm afraid~" A gust of forest wind blew, and the boy tightened his thin coat and hugged his knees.

"If you want to listen to Lao Tzu, go to the welfare home, and you won't starve to death. ”

"Dad, I don't want to be separated from you. The boy shook his head stubbornly.

"With you, Lao Tzu can't run far, and sooner or later he will be arrested. After the middle-aged man ate the last bit of food, his stomach was still hungry, so he had no choice but to squat down by the stream and burrow into the stream and pour a stomach full of water.

"Dad, there are more scales. The boy followed his father.

When the middle-aged man heard his son's words, he tore his sleeves hard, and at this time, from his elbow down was covered with faint translucent fingernail-sized scales.

He suddenly turned around and roared: "When Lao Tzu is blind, if you want to be afraid, get out, don't follow Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is about to become a monster who doesn't recognize his six relatives!"

The boy was frightened backwards by his bloodshot and hideous father.

"You're scared, get out!"

"I don't!"

Before he could finish spitting out, the boy was slapped by his emotionally uncontrollable father, and his mouth was broken, and his mouth was full of blood.

"Dad is not a monster, you will always be a father. The boy bravely stood up on his own, crying and shouting.

The man looked at his hand, and then at his stubborn son, he slapped himself hard, turned around and ran away, picked up a boulder with one or two hundred catties, and threw it out a few meters away with a fierce force, the stream was full of water, and he roared at the sky.

The boy knew that his father was about to lose control again, so he consciously stayed away and waited for his father to finish venting.

After ruling out the target of Xiaohai's false alarm, Xia Chan finally locked on a stream, one big and one small.

A hundred meters away, Xiao Hai wrote prominently on the tree: "The middle-aged man is an infected person, he has an alien aura that ordinary normal humans do not have, and the little boy next to him is normal." ”

"Is that little boy threatened? Xia Chan asked.

"According to my observation of human social relations, the two should be father and son, the man is not very conscious, but the little boy is not afraid of him. ”

"Oh, Xiaohai, what's the point of you studying human beings?" Xia Chan's mind jumped.

The fluorescent green letters on the trunk hesitated for a moment: "Human beings will always do a lot of useless and inexplicable things, I wonder if this is the power of emotion, according to this standard, Xiaohai seems to be born without such a thing as emotion." ”

Xia Chan observed from a distance for a while, and asked with interest, "Do you think you should let go of that father and son?"

Xiaohai quickly replied: "What is a boy compared to the survival of the race?"

Facing Xiao Hai's rhetorical question, Xia Chan was a little speechless: "I do know that these so-called 'infected people' have no real ability to infect, and letting go of an individual does not affect the overall situation." ”

"It's important for you to get a social point for catching an 'infected', it's the ladder up the ladder of human society, I remember reading a quote from a strong human being, only the strong have the qualifications to sympathize with the weak. ”

Xiao Hai's implication was obvious, Xia Chan was not a strong person, but he didn't agree with this passage, and just as he was about to refute the sky, a loud hiss suddenly came out.

Xia Chan raised his head and looked through the canopy, he couldn't see anything clearly, Xiao Hai had already preemptively appeared: "It's a big bird, and there are people on it." ”

"Big bird, people?"

A huge shadow swept over the stream, and the father and son, who had been alarmed in the open space of the cobblestone river beach by the stream, felt the wind that made them almost unstable, and before they could come to their senses, the sky resounded with a hiss.

This cry was filled with a special sense of joy, as if it had found prey.

"Daddy, Daddy, run!" was the first to react to the little boy.

The adult man with a fierce light in his eyes saw the giant bird in the sky hovering, and then swooped down again into the air, and with a low roar, he picked up his son, pulled his legs, and ran towards the forest.

A silver lightning bolt fell from the sky, and a silver arrow that shone brightly and shone with the sharp power of runes suddenly nailed deep into the path of the father and son.

The middle-aged man was also clever, and when he turned around and saw the direction in which the giant bird was coming, he suddenly turned around and turned towards the other side of the stream.

Whoosh!

Two more silver arrows were fired one after another, and the accuracy was unbelievable, and each time they were nailed to the way of escape of father and son.

The middle-aged man actually left the child and turned around and pounced in the direction of the giant bird, if he ran fast enough, the giant bird would inevitably miss due to the altitude difference due to the drop in altitude of gliding and diving.

However, the giant bird changed direction with a slight sweep of its wings at a low altitude, showed its huge claws, and swept along the river beach, and the wind passed, the trees swirled, and the stream swirled in the opposite direction, and the eight or nine-year-old boy who had just been separated from his father was gone.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man who had just fled into the forest area jumped onto a shale again, roared at the sky, seemed to have lost his mind, jumped off the rock with him, stepped on the stream, and chased after the giant bird.

But the great fowl had taken his son.

The man who had lost his mind suddenly saw a young man suddenly appear in front of the stream, and he tore it out without hesitation.

The young man's feet sank, and a wall of water suddenly erected, and the man slammed into it, and the thick qi stirred up and shocked him, and then the wall of water shook and shook like a cloth and threw the man to the shore.

With a hissing sound, an angry shout rang out from behind: "What a gut-"

The silver-feathered giant bird swept back again, but this time there was an extra boy on the giant claws of the giant bird.

The boy was thrown into the water, the wind howled, and the giant bird suddenly fell on the river beach, this bird and beast wings spread eight or nine meters, and the overwhelming silver frost-colored iron feather wings were folded, revealing the body of a monster.

The head is like an eagle, with two backswept horns behind the ears, the body is like an eagle, but the back half of the body is like a tiger and a leopard, the front paws are like an eagle, the hind paws are like a beast, and there is a long tail hanging down.

On the saddle of the back of the strange-shaped bird beast, there is a young man wearing windproof goggles, wearing leather armor, holding a spear, and a majestic young man, who is condescending to Xia Chan without anger.

"The Silver Knight. "The famous Air Cavalry Regiment in Phoenix City is not stationed in the Ninth District, but Xia Chan is not a stranger, although he only occasionally sees them skimming in the sky, just a small black spot.

"Boy, leave that guy behind while I'm not angry. The air knight felt that Xia Chan's aura was awe-inspiring, but arrogance had long been integrated into the blood of every air knight, and he would never bow his head easily in case of trouble.

"I'm sorry, I found this father and son first. Xia Chan glanced back at the man who rushed into the stream to rescue his son.

"Hey, interesting. The Sky Knight pushed the windshield to the top of his forehead, revealing a pair of unruly eyes, and suddenly he carried a domineering matte crossbow in his hand, "Boy, my Sky Crossbow doesn't recognize people, kill you, at most go write a check, and be locked up for a few days." ”

As he spoke, the sound of collapse sounded, and the sky crossbow had been wound.

"If you load the fire thunder or the frost thunder arrow, I will be afraid of three points. Xia Chan carried the empty green sword on his shoulders and shook his head, in the military career of the last timeline, he was no stranger to this kind of crossbow equipped with terrible rune crossbow arrows, the most classic fire thunder is a kind of rune crossbow arrow with arrow configuration bombardment secret thunder, arrow body branding armor piercing, wind breaking and sharp gold runes, one arrow is out, the muzzle velocity is twice the speed of sound, and the ordinary level 1 desolate beast within a kilometer will be severely injured at the lightest, and the heavy will be shattered.

"I know a lot, boy. The Sky Knight grinned, aimed the long sky crossbow in his hand at Xia Chan, who was a few feet away, and said arrogantly: "This ordinary elite arrow, with a muzzle velocity of four hundred and fifty meters per second, is a first-level armor-piercing rune arrow, and I am also curious if I can tear your mouth apart." ”

As if sensing the rider's emotions, the vulture let its neck hiss low, its outstretched iron feathers making a dense shaking sound like metal colliding.

There was a tense smell in the air, and the trampling of the stream passed away in the middle of the stumbling of the father and son.

Seeing that the prey was about to run, the young air knight was furious and pulled the trigger in his hand.

In Xia Chan's field of vision, who opened the 'Eye of Truth' and was waiting for a heavy realm, he seemed to see a scene of his chest being penetrated, he pressed the empty green machine spring, and the sword body popped out, not in a hurry or slowly, just right against the elite arrow that was shooting quickly.

While~

In the collision of sparks, in an instant, the empty green sword body slammed into Xia Chan's chest, and a force of a thousand catties hit his chest and abdomen from the sword body, causing him to drop four or five steps, and it took a turn to almost stabilize his footing.

At this time, the Sky Knight, who had already mounted the next arrow, aimed at him again.

The flying immortal stepped out, and Xia Chan's body resembled a snake curved line, shooting directly at the vulture and the empty knight.

The crossbow arrow shot out again, and Xia Chan's body twisted, and he couldn't pass by.

The vulture's wings fanned like a steel knife scraping its face, and Xia Chan jumped up like a tanuki and sent it with a sword, knocking away another elite arrow while pointing a sword on the silver shield raised by the empty knight.

The sword and shield struck, and a dull crackling sound sounded, and the body of the empty knight holding the shield shook violently, but Xia Chan did not take the opportunity to attack, but instead took advantage of his strength to come out backwards, giving up the great opportunity to attack in close quarters.

"Good boy, I remember you!" the Sky Knight raised his silver shield, forcibly endured half of his numb body, clamped his legs, and whistled, and the vulture flapped its wings violently in response, rushed a few steps forward on the river beach, and suddenly flew into the air.
