Lower Liang City.

It was once a big city comparable to the capital city in the Great Mo Dynasty.

But after more than ten years, this city was completely abandoned.

Now.

Zhang Yang from the current world, Jessica and Su Yao from this world, the three of them disturbed the desolate Xialiang City.

It's about three o'clock in the afternoon.

There is no sun, it is cloudy.

Zhang Yang and the three of them passed through the city gate and came to Xialiang City.

What catches your eye is the desolate long street, with all the houses and shops on both sides feeling abandoned, and there are many tattered clothes, some dilapidated stalls, and rotten wood on the side of the street.

Stepping across the stone bridge, the river in the city below the bridge has disappeared, leaving only the river and garbage.

Zhang Yang and the three of them observed the surrounding environment, Su Yao was very afraid of this strange desolation, and her small hand unconsciously held the big hand of Shen Yang.

Jessica took a closer look and said, "It doesn't look like it's inhabited, but the drivers mean there's still people here, but it's going to be wrong at night." ”

Jessica was suspicious of what the driver said, because in her experience, it was clear that the houses and streets here were the same as those of the old town, and there was no sign of life.

Zhang Yang's expression was indifferent, he continued to walk forward, and said casually: "This city is not small, and this is only close to the periphery of the city gate, maybe the people who stay here are in the center of the city, let's continue to walk inside, be careful on the road." ”

didn't notice any breath, there were no living creatures around, Zhang Yang also took Jessica and Su Yao to move deeper, no one on the outside does not mean that there is no one inside, although Zhang Yang is not sure that what the coachmen said is true, but he will not say that it is completely false, at least for now, there is definitely something wrong with this Xialiang City.

Three people walk on a desolate street, and the staggered streets, although not complicated, are like a big net, and it takes a lot of time to walk through them all.

Zhang Yang did not choose a detour and traveled directly in one direction. Jessica took out her tablet and began to use the special software of the Special Shadow Organization to simulate the entire Xialiang City.

Seeing the tablet in Jessica's hand, Su Yao's eyes showed curiosity, she had never seen anything like that before, but the surrounding environment made her very scared, so she didn't dare to ask anything.

After walking along the central road for more than ten minutes, Zhang Yang suddenly stopped, and Jessica, who was operating the tablet next to him, wanted to continue walking, but was gently pulled by Su Yao.

"What's wrong?"

Subconsciously asked, Jessica looked up, and dozens of meters in front of her, at the intersection of the street, there was an old man with his back bent and constantly knocking on the door in front of a shop that had not opened.

Seeing the first person appear, Jessica looked at Zhang Yang.

"Zhang Yang, there are people."

"People? Not necessarily. ”

Zhang Yang suddenly smiled, and the words he said made Jessica stunned.

Jessica's face was solemn, and she quickly put away the tablet in her hand, and then took out another pair of binoculars.

Through the binoculars, Jessica saw that the old man's right hand when he knocked on the door was black, and almost only the scalp was left behind the messy hair, and he was wrapped in a cotton shirt embroidered with red embroidery on a black background, which felt very strange no matter how he looked at it.

"Something is wrong!"

Taking a deep breath, Jessica didn't dare to continue looking, there was a little more fear in her heart at the moment, the fear of the unknown in this world.

Zhang Yang patted Su Yao on the shoulder at this time, and then said in a low voice: "Remember what I said, when I am not there, follow Jessica, if Jessica is not there, then hide alone, remember your and my code Zhang Shuai and Su Meili, you and Jessica's code is a special shadow, have you written it down?" ”

Hearing these words suddenly, Su Yao looked at Zhang Yang a little blankly, and only after a few seconds did she nod vigorously and let out a sigh.

And Jessica didn't understand why Zhang Yang told Su Yao this, and also whispered: "What's the situation?" Did you find anything? ”

Regarding Jessica's question, Zhang Yang explained softly: "The moment I saw that old man, I had a sense of danger, and the danger did not necessarily come from the old man's body, maybe it was lurking around, you have some combat ability, and your psychological quality is also strong, so I am more worried about Su Yao." If both of us are restricted, Su Yao's safety will be threatened. ”

Hearing this, Jessica frowned and stared at the old man who was still knocking on the door not far away, and subconsciously grabbed Su Yao's other little hand.

"Su Yao, don't leave my side."

"Good!"

Su Yao squeezed Jessica's hand and responded.

After admonishing him, Zhang Yang let go of Su Yao, and then walked and said, "Follow me, wait until the pillar in front of you, you stop." ”

Hearing this, Jessica and Su Yao didn't say a word, the two of them followed behind Zhang Yang, and Zhang Yang walked normally, touching his belt with his left hand, and several silver needles between his fingers.

Come to the crossing.

Jessica took Su Yao to hide behind the beams next to her, and Zhang Yang continued to walk, swaggering across the intersection before stopping behind the old man.

The old man stood on the steps, his right hand knocking on the wooden door like a machine.

"Old man, I'm lost, ask for directions."

Staring at the old man's back, Zhang Yang spoke directly, his expression calm.

The knock on the door was broken by a sudden sound, and the old man's movements came to an abrupt halt, and then the old man turned stiffly, revealing his face like a monkey's face.

Sharp-beaked monkey gills.

It's just that the old man's face is full of wrinkles, and there are many markings, his eyes are black, and there is no look in his eyes.

The right hand was pitch black, as if poisoned, and the sleeve of the left hand was empty, nothing.

Staring at Zhang Yang below, the old man grinned slowly, revealing a mouthful of dark red teeth.

"Ask for directions."

"Okay, okay."

"Wait for me to come down and show you the way."

The old man's mouth did not open at all, but a sharp and cold sound came from his body, and the scalp tingled when he heard it.

Zhang Yang watched indifferently as the old man jumped down the steps, then raised his left hand, and the silver needles in his fingers instantly fell on the old man's body.

But the old man's body was as hard as an iron plate, and although the silver needles broke through the cotton clothes outside, they did not pierce the old man's body.

The old man was not affected in any way, the smile on his face became more and more hideous and weird, and his speed became faster and faster, seeing that he was only a few meters away from Zhang Yang, and his black right hand had sharp nails at some point.

Zhang Yang's eyes narrowed when he saw this.

The old man walked quickly, and finally rushed directly to Zhang Yang, took out his right hand, and locked Zhang Yang's front door.

Suddenly, he felt a cold energy, Zhang Yang suddenly released his gang qi, and the incomparably powerful force instantly bounced the old man away and smashed into the shop behind.

The wooden door is broken.

There were a few screams from the shop, and there were other people inside, sounding like normal people.

In this regard, Zhang Yang's body shook, and he came to the old man in an instant, and while the old man had not yet gotten up, he directly raised his feet sideways and kicked the old man out again.

The old man fell at the intersection outside, and a dark purple aura appeared on his body, and as the old man got up again, those dark purple breaths shook off and turned into a puddle of black water under the old man's body.

The cold eyes stared at Zhang Yang standing on the steps, and the old man's mouth was completely torn: "Ask for directions..."

"You can't save them!"

"You're going to die too!"

"You're all going to die here!"

"No one wants to live!"

Suddenly, a terrible and shrill voice sounded, and this voice rushed out of the old man's body and resounded all around.

Zhang Yang's brows furrowed, and a fire appeared in his right hand, ready to deal with this extremely strange old man directly.

But the black water under the old man was like a passage, which swallowed the old man directly, and finally turned into black smoke and dispersed, and the old man also disappeared.

Seeing this, Zhang Yang came to the location where the old man disappeared, but there was no breath here, only a few residual fluctuations, but he couldn't track it.

Just entered Xialiang City.

Zhang Yang encountered such strange people and strange things.

The facts have already told Zhang Yang that there is a problem in Liangcheng this time, and most of the stories told by the coachman are traceable, not necessarily false.

The old man disappeared, and Zhang Yang immediately dispersed the fire in his hand and looked at the shop beside him.

On the second floor of the shop, there were a few eyes secretly watching Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang first glanced at Jessica's side, gave them a look, then turned to look at the shop, and then walked into it quickly.

The first floor of the old shop, the front desk and the table are covered with dust, and it looks like no one has used it for a long time.

However, there is no dust in the middle of the stairs, the sides are dirty, and the middle is clean, indicating that there are still people using the stairs.

Analyzing the details he had captured, Zhang Yang quietly ascended to the second floor.

The second floor is different from the first floor, the first floor is a loose table, and the second floor is a private room with a corridor in the middle.

Looking at the empty corridor, Zhang Yang didn't search them one by one, he had already felt the breath here, so he knew which room was full of people!

There is no sound under the feet.

Zhang Yang came to the door of the fourth room on the right.

There was no sound in it.

Crunch –

Pushing the door open directly, Zhang Yang saw a large table in the middle of the room, a screen and a bed at the back next to it, and a cabinet on the other side.

The windows are ajar.

Zhang Yang glanced at the house, stood in front of the door and didn't move, but said softly: "Come out, I know you are all here." ”

Zhang Yang's voice echoed in the quiet room, but no one responded to Zhang Yang, and there was no movement.

In this regard, Zhang Yang shook his head slightly, and then strode inside, driving directly to the bed behind the screen.

Staring under the bed.

Zhang Yang said again: "Come out, if you don't come out, I'll let the old man just now come over." ”

As soon as these words came out, three people suddenly rushed out from under the bed, they crawled out in horror, and then looked at Zhang Yang in a panic.

A grown man, two teenage children.

Looking at the three of them, Zhang Yang continued: "I passed by Xialiang City, came in and took a look, and only the three of you have been found so far, is there anyone else here?" ”
