Half an hour later.

Grey and damp streets filled with a faint gray mist.

Rushing footsteps, splashing dirty water.

Shen Qiu ran quickly, and out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the corpses lying on the ground, blood staining the ground.

These corpses contained KPI personnel and soldiers of the Red Alliance, as well as personnel of the Scorpion Legion.

Shen Qiu's heart sank to the bottom more and more, and the situation seemed to be very bad.

Judging from the number and direction of the corpses that fell, it can be basically judged that the personnel of the Red League were pressed and killed.

The sound of the firefight in the distance became more and more violent, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace and rush over as soon as possible.

Temporary stronghold of the Red Union.

A 10-meter-tall quadrangular steam factory made entirely of steel, with thick metal walls painted in praise of God.

At the top of the factory, round chimneys are erected.

At this time, a member of the Gray Scorpion Legion raised the gun in his hand and kept shooting at the factory gate.

Bang bang!

Sparks fly.

The heavy fire suppressed the people in the factory and did not dare to take the lead.

At this time, an awakened person named the Gray Scorpion Legion outflanked him and prepared to storm the factory.

Inside the factory, a man dressed in a KPI uniform and military uniform said anxiously to a very old man in a lieutenant colonel uniform, with a wrinkled face.

"Chief Guo Zong, what should we do now, we can't hold it anymore."

"Hold on, flares have been sent out, and support will be coming soon."

Guo Zong said in a deep voice.

"No, the other party's awakened person has come suddenly."

One of his subordinates shouted anxiously.

At this time, you can see three members of the gray scorpion of the special hardening system, approaching a certain distance, and rushing up frantically.

The bullets hit them with little effect, just a burst of sparks.

The rest of the Grey Scorpion Legion masters followed closely behind the three of them.

Seeing this, Guo Zong pulled out a saber and shouted murderously.

"In that case, let's fight with them, everyone is ready to follow me!"

"Yes!"

Everyone present went out one after another.

When the master of the Gray Scorpion Legion burst into the factory, Guo Zong took the lead in holding the burning saber and killed the other party.

The opponent also raised his weapon to fight.

Bite~

With the sparks flying, the first member of the gray scorpion to fight directly knelt down and struggled to support it.

Guo Zong suddenly drew back his saber, ready to kill the opponent with one sword.

Two more members of the Scorpion Legion swung their swords at the same time, one sword was wrapped with wind breath, and the other sword was flashing with thunder.

Guo Zong can only return to the knife to block!

Bell, bell~

For a while, Guo Zong was directly entangled.

"Ah~"

Suddenly, a miserable scream sounded, Lieutenant Colonel Guo Zong turned his head to look over, only to see a personal guard being killed and falling to the ground, and he suddenly shouted with his eyes split.

"Azie!"

At this time, the men of the Gray Scorpion Legion had already rushed into the factory, and they had a large number of people, not to mention more than seventy people.

On the other hand, there are only more than 30 people on Guo Zong's side, and a large number of people are all colored, which is their opponent.

Just when they could barely hold it anymore, a giant python condensed by water rushed in through the gate.

"Ah~"

Five members of the Scorpion were knocked out and slammed to the ground.

The members of the gray scorpion who were besieging were dumbfounded, they were all in the human realm, how could they have seen such a strong momentum and offensive.

Guo Zong and the others turned their heads to look over, and at the critical moment, Shi Yao rushed back with people.

At this time, Shi Yao's cold eyes revealed a hint of anger, and with a wave of her hand, a wave of water rose, sweeping towards the many gray scorpion members.

The members of the gray scorpion were terrified, some pressed their hands to the ground and raised walls of earth, while others released walls of fire.

But it was useless, and it was washed down by the waves in an instant.

And the most surprising thing is that these waves are like long eyes, and when they are about to sweep away their own people, they will branch and turn around.

Sun Ji and the others took the opportunity to rush forward and besiege those masters who carried them down.

In the blink of an eye, the situation was reversed.

Within a few minutes, the more than seventy gray scorpion members present were dealt with.

"Lieutenant Colonel Guo Zong, are you alright?"

Shi Yao walked up and asked coldly.

"It's okay, it's good that you rushed back in time, otherwise it would be more than lucky."

Guo Zong couldn't help coughing.

"Really?"

Suddenly, a cruel and arrogant voice came from the gate.

Guo Zong and the others were startled, turned their heads to look over, and saw groups of gray scorpion members rushing in.

At the head was a man dressed in black skull armor, with a full face, a scar on his left eye, a fierce look in his eyes, and a large knife embedded in the triangular module, and next to him stood a short, grim-faced man.

These two men are the top of the Scorpion Legion, Baikatou and Voji, respectively.

Shi Yao's heart sank suddenly, there were more than 300 people brought by the other party, and the most important thing was that Baikatu gave her a very dangerous feeling, obviously she had reached the realm of the master.

"Are you rats obediently surrendering, or do you want me to be rough?"

Baikathu twisted his neck and smiled hideously, this time he finally served these Red Alliance guys.

"Capture the thief and capture the king first, you hold on for a while!"

Shi Yao said a word of advice to Guo Zong, directly pulled out a blue long sword, and rushed straight towards Baikatu.

Then with a wave of her left hand, she condensed a water python and opened her bloody mouth to kill Baikatu.

You must know that compared with the water system awakeners who are usually more supportive, Shi Yao's awakened water system ability is very violent and full of lethality, like a rough sea.

"Look for death!"

Voji sneered, and raised his left hand straight in front of Baikathu.

The raging wind formed a wind snake that collided directly with the anaconda and exploded!

Woji couldn't help but take a few steps back, then stopped his body, quickly pulled out a three-edged thorn to meet it, and collided with Shi Yao.

Bite!

With the crisp sound of collision, Shi Yao's offensive was blocked.

Her brows furrowed suddenly, if it was a normal situation, she would definitely have the confidence to take out the enemy in front of her, but her physical energy was very depleted now.

You must know that in recent times, she has almost relied on her support.

And she didn't dare to expend too much strength to deal with Voji because there was a stronger Baikatu.

Seeing that Shi Yao was blocked, Bai Katu immediately waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to go up.

"Deal with them!"

Baikatu has no intention of doing it himself, and if he can use people to consume him, let the people below him.

As for the casualties, he didn't care at all, the last thing they lacked was human life.

When the group of Gray Scorpion Legion soldiers heard Baikatu's order, they rushed towards Lieutenant Colonel Guo Zong and the others.

Guo Zong and others rose up to resist.

The two groups collided again.

As a result, there were no surprises, and Guo Zong and the others soon fell behind and were in a precarious situation.

In particular, Guo Zong was besieged by five gray scorpion elites alone.

Rak~

As soon as he didn't pay attention, Lieutenant Colonel Guo Zong's right arm was cut a wound, and he raised his left hand and struggled to condense the raging flames, sweeping away the gray scorpion masters who forced back the siege, constantly gasping.

At this moment, a gray scorpion member showed a hideous smile, instantly split into a nezumi form, and attacked Guo Zong from behind.

Shi Yao noticed this scene and immediately issued a warning.

"Guo Zong, be careful!"

After Guo Zong heard Shi Yao's reminder, he suddenly turned around and waved the burning saber in his hand, and directly cut off the head of the rat man with one sword.

Blood splattered.

However, at this moment, a powerful gray scorpion member took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, kicked Guo Zong's back, and kicked him out fiercely.

Guo Zong fell heavily to the ground.

At this time, several gray scorpion members flashed fierce colors on their faces and rushed towards Guo Zong, who had fallen to the ground.

Seeing this, Shi Yao forced back Woji with a sword, rushed towards Guo Zong, and raised his hand with a wave!

Suddenly, a stream of water arrows shot over.

The gray scorpion members immediately retreated to dodge.

At this time, when the rest of the members saw Guo Zong fall to the ground, they also abandoned the battle and rushed over.

"Sir, are you alright?"

"It's fine."

Guo Zong gritted his teeth and stood up.

However, at this time, many gray scorpion members came over and surrounded Shi Yao and the others.

Baikatu smirked.

"Haha, it's the end of the crossbow, let's see what waves you can make this time."

Shi Yao and the others looked at the many gray scorpion members who were approaching step by step, and their expressions were tense, as if they were facing a great enemy.

Many people had desperate looks on their faces, but they didn't give up.

"Shi Yao, are you leaving? We cover your breakthrough, and we will definitely not be able to go. ”

Guo Zong lowered his voice and said to Shi Yao.

"Needless to say, after I joined the KPI department, there was no option to escape."

Shi Yao replied calmly, she has her own standards and dignity.

"If you want to go, dream, none of you can run"

Baikathu laughed feverishly, and even dared to talk about the breakthrough in front of him, as if he didn't exist.

At this moment, suddenly a stone fell from the beam above his head, and he laughed wildly at Baikathu's head.

Boom~

Baikathu's face changed, and he looked up at the top of his head.

I saw Shen Qiu sitting on the steel beam, swinging his legs and looking at Baikatu with a smile.

"Baikathu, long time no see."

Guo Zong and the others were immediately overjoyed, and looked at Shen Qiu excitedly, but they didn't expect that a mysterious master would come at the critical moment.

Baikatu stared at Shen Qiu for a moment, and recognized it at a glance. Although Shen Qiu was wearing half a mask, he was too impressed.

His face suddenly showed an angry expression, like an enraged lion, roaring angrily.

"It's you! It's good that you are a deflated three rats, and you dare to appear in front of me. ”

At the beginning of the cathedral, it was this guy who ruined his good deeds with another girl, and in the end he was almost killed in the church.

When Guo Zong and the others heard Bai Katu's words, their expressions also showed a hint of disappointment. I thought that a top master would come, but it seems that it can only be regarded as average.

"Why don't you dare?"

Shen Qiu replied with interest.

"There's a kind of you come down for me, and see that I don't kill you."

Baikatu yelled at Shen Qiu angrily.

Shen Qiu didn't hold it, he really jumped down as Bai Katu wished, and landed lightly.

He said, looking at Baikathu.

"Okay, I'll come down, how are we going to fight?"

"Just you deflated three rats, I will pinch you to death every minute, and you dare to find a sense of existence in front of me?"

Bai Katu looked at Shen Qiu, who was calm and relaxed, and his whole person was like a volcanic eruption.

However, just when Baikatu was about to lead someone to kill Shen Qiu and kill Shi Yao and the others.

Suddenly, a subordinate hurriedly ran in and said to Baikathu.

"Boss, the Blue Alliance dogs have outflanked them, and they should have been attracted by the signal flare of this group of guys."

When Baikathu heard this, his left hand suddenly clenched into a fist and gurgled.

"Those mad dogs of the Blue League!"

"Boss, the Blue Alliance is overwhelming, and if you are surrounded by them, it will be troublesome."

Woji hurriedly persuaded him, he was afraid that the boss would be angry and knock down here, and it would be troublesome to be outflanked by the Blue Alliance at that time.

"Lucky for you, those mad dogs from the Blue Alliance are here. Go back and clean you up, we'll leave! ”

Baikatu was very unwilling, but he also said cruel words to Shen Qiu and the others and led them to withdraw.

Many of the Scorpion members followed Baikatou away.

Shi Yao and the others looked at the back of Baikatu's evacuation and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you alright?"

Shen Qiu turned his head to Shi Yao and the others and asked.

"It's okay, thanks to you for coming to contain it for a while."

Guo Zong shook his head.

"It's just a coincidence, and it doesn't help much."

Shen Qiu replied with a smile.

Shi Yao raised her head and glanced at Shen Qiu who was wearing a mask, and she didn't know why she always felt that the person in front of her was very familiar, but she just couldn't remember it.

She asked Shen Qiu suspiciously.

"You are?"

Shen Qiu looked at Shi Yao standing in front of him, and was also very surprised, he really didn't expect to meet her here.

But Shen Qiu didn't say anything to Shi Yao, but spoke.

"Let's not talk about it yet, the people of the Blue Alliance are coming over, we must get out of here quickly, we can't leave if it's late."

"Okay."

Guo Zong and others responded one after another.

So everyone evacuated through the back door of the factory.

They ran on the gray streets, and Shen Qiu asked Guo Zong curiously.

"Is that all we have left?"

"We're the only ones left, and the rest are scattered."

Guo Zong still had a good impression of Shen Qiu, after all, he dared to run over to support him alone.

"Okay."

When Shen Qiu heard this, his brows were also slightly frowned, and the situation was even worse than he imagined.

However, just as Shen Qiu and the others ran around the corner of the street, they directly ran into a group of heavily armed Blue Alliance soldiers.

The leader was none other than Colonel Aroko, and there were more than a hundred subordinates following him, more than four times the number of Shen Qiu and them, and they were all in very good condition, exuding a good aura.

The moment Guo Zong saw Aroko, his face became very ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said.

"It's over, I didn't expect to bump into Aroko!"

"Chief Guo Zong, do you know him?"

Shi Yao asked solemnly.

"Of course I know him, he is a man known as the Wild Butcher, and countless masters of various forces have died at his hands! The most terrifying thing is that he once slaughtered a three-hundred-member elite group of the Gray Alliance by himself. Damn, I didn't expect to bump into him here. ”

Guo Zong's palms holding the saber were sweating profusely.

When Shi Yao heard Guo Zong say this, she was also like a great enemy.

Shen Qiu couldn't help but breathe, his eyes stared at Aroko, he didn't expect to bump into such a strong master as the Blue Alliance, it seemed that he had to fight hard.

At this time, Aroko was also stunned, he didn't expect that he would win the lottery and bump into the people of the Red Alliance.

A bright smile suddenly appeared on his face, but when his gaze saw the cyan saber hanging from Shen Qiu's waist, the smile disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

That blade of the blue sky was Hedri's general sword, and no one in the entire Blue Alliance military department knew it.

This guy is the top expert who almost killed Hedry.

Thinking of this, Aroko's breathing became unsmooth, and the muscles on his face kept twitching.

You know, he thinks he is extraordinary, but when he faces General Hedley, he is a trash fish sent to death.

At the same time, Osse and the others also recognized the sword on Shen Qiu's waist, and one by one they raised their weapons in horror and aimed them at Shen Qiu.

Shen Qiu's side was also holding their weapons tightly, with an uneasy look on their faces.

For a while, both sides looked at each other as if they were facing a great enemy, but no one dared to make a move.

However, at this time, Aroko's adjutant Osse was too nervous, and pulled the trigger of the modular pistol for a while.

Bang~

A bullet shot went out and hit the ground in front of Shen Qiu!

Punch a hole.

Shen Qiu's nerves were suddenly touched, and he was about to rush forward.

Aroko turned around and gave Other a melon seed to his head.

"Who told you to shoot?"

Oter replied nervously.

"I'm sorry! Sir, I'm too nervous to go wild. ”

Shi Yao and the others were also stunned, what the hell are these people from the Blue League doing?

After Aroko finished teaching Osser a lesson, he twisted his hair and looked at Shen Qiu fiercely and said.

"You wait, there's a kind of don't go, let's retreat!"

After finishing speaking, Colonel Aroko didn't wait for Shi Yao and the others to come back to their senses, and turned around with people and walked away.

Guo Zong and the others looked at Shen Qiu one after another, and asked with an incredulous face.

"You know him? Why is he so afraid of you? ”

"I don't know, I haven't seen him before, okay?"

Shen Qiu looked inexplicable.

"It's not about these things now, they seem to be calling someone, let's leave quickly!"

Although Shi Yao was also very puzzled, reason told her that now was not the time to ask these questions.

"Yes, let's go."

Shen Qiu echoed in agreement.

So Shen Qiu and the others immediately changed direction and ran towards the alley next to them.

A few hours later.

In the living room of a three-story retro stone building, Shen Qiu and the others sat on a chair that was moldy and dusty.

Sun Ji came over and reported.

"The coffin in this building has been cleaned up, and the corpses lying in it have been resolved."

"Well, hard work."

Guo Zong nodded in response.

At this time, Shi Yao also walked in from the door, and she reported coldly.

"We have all reconnoitred nearby, and there is no trace of the activities of the Blue Alliance and the Gray Alliance, so we should be safe for the time being."

The people who survived the scene breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and their expressions tightened and relaxed, and they were finally safe.

Guo Zong immediately arranged.

"Let's take care of the wounds, eat something to replenish our strength, seize the opportunity to recover our strength, and the next situation will be even worse."

When everyone heard Guo Zong's words, they all turned out their backpacks and shared their food with each other.

Shen Qiu saw that there was nothing wrong, so he walked up to Guo Zong and asked him.

"Sir, I've only been in this world for a short time, what is the situation now, can you tell me?"

"You don't need to call me that, you can just call me Guo Zong."

Guo Zong replied very kindly.

"Okay, Guo Zong."

Shen Qiu nodded and said.

"Let me tell you briefly, we are in this country called the Thousand Hidden Kingdom, and it is a corpse kingdom. The city where we are currently located is the royal capital of the Thousand Hidden Kingdom, and the entire royal city is divided into three layers, the top layer is the castle, and now the three alliances are all on the first floor. ”

Guo Zong introduced Shen Qiu.

"Why don't you go up?"

Shen Qiu asked curiously.

"We want to too! But the gates of the city that went up were closed. ”

Shi Yao replied coldly.

"Then you can climb the wall or find a way to fly over, you don't have to go through the door."

Shen Qiu asked puzzledly, when the door of the giant castle was closed, it was so difficult to go up, wasn't it the same. Could it be that the walls of this Thousand Hidden King City can be more difficult than that?

"You can think of it, of course we can think of it, and the people of the Blue League and the Blue League can naturally think of it. But it didn't work at all, because there were many mechanisms on the walls, and there were coffins hanging from the walls. Anyone who wanted to go up, none of them survived. ”

Guo Zong shook his head and explained.

"Huh? So exaggerated? ”

Shen Qiu replied in surprise.

"It's not an exaggeration at all, you'll know when you look back and see the walls between the floors."

Shi Yao stared at Shen Qiu and said, she was now more and more curious about who the man in front of her was.

Although Baikatou had called him the Deflated Three Rats before, Colonel Aroko's reaction was too unusual.

You must know that Aroko is a relatively well-known warrior in the Blue League camp, and there are few people he is afraid of. Not to mention that he was with so many people at the time, and he was obviously dominant.

"Okay, but I have a question that I have a doubt, but I don't know if I can ask."

Shen Qiu hesitated and asked.

"Just ask."

Guo Zong replied calmly.

"In your current state, it is a problem for the people of the Blue League and the Gray League to protect themselves. Shouldn't evacuation of this world be a priority? Why spend all the time with them. ”

Shen Qiu asked curiously.

Hearing Shen Qiu's words, Guo Zong and Shi Yao fell into a brief silence.

About ten seconds later, Guo Zong said to Shen Qiu.

"It's impossible to give up, the castle on the capital of the Thousand Hidden Kings has something we have to recycle, what is it, I'm sorry I can't tell you. In addition, too many of us have died here, even for them, we can't leave. ”

When Shen Qiu heard this, he also felt a heavy heart, so he replied.

"I see, but it's not a way to keep going like this."

"So find a way to find the key to the city gate and open it."

Shi Yao replied lightly.

"Is it just a city gate?"

Shen Qiu asked with a deep groan.

"No, there are four gates between the first and second floors, and the keys we are looking for are not these four gates, after all, such a big gate is opened, and it will trigger something."

"Which gate key are we looking for?"

"There are four city gates, and there are two very small side gates on both sides of each city gate for ordinary people to walk, and what we are looking for is the key to the eight side gates."

Shi Yao explained.

"That sounds like it's okay."

When Shen Qiu heard this, he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Eight entrances are better than just one, so you don't have to fight to the death.

"It's not that easy, we can't figure out which corpse the key is on. You must know that the first floor is where the corpses at the bottom live, the population is very dense, not to mention millions of people, standing for us to search, I don't know if the Year of the Monkey can be searched. ”

Guo Zong said in a deep voice.

"There must be traces to follow, so let's rest here, and I'll go search for the key."

Shen Qiu thought for a moment and said.

"I'll go with you."

Shi Yao saw that Shen Qiu was going to search for the key, so she immediately made a suggestion, and she had been leading the team to search before.

"No need."

Shen Qiu lightly refused and waved his hand to Shi Yao.

Shi Yao looked at this scene and suddenly remembered, and said with a slight movement in her eyes.

"You're Shen Qiu."

Shen Qiu was also a little surprised when she heard Shi Yao's words, but she didn't expect her to remember. However, he didn't deny or say anything, just smiled and left.

Shi Yao looked at the back of Shen Qiu leaving, frowning slightly.

ps: I'm sorry, the state of the yang queen has been getting worse and worse recently, and the cough is getting worse and worse, and for the time being, it can only be more 6000 a day, and when the state recovers, it will be more than 10,000 ha, please forgive me.
