Chapter 60: After the Fact
"Father and mother, big brother and second sister, master ......"
Qiao Xiu opened his mobile phone and found that there were already dozens of missed calls, all of which were from relatives and friends during the previous period.
And he fell into a deep sleep at first, and then as soon as he woke up, he sensed that Nobita was in danger and rushed down, followed by a fight, and a tour of the village, and he didn't have time to look at his phone, so naturally he couldn't answer and reply.
"Hey, Dad, are you alright?"
After reading so many missed calls, Qiao Xiu was the first to call his father.
"Ah, it's Ah Xiu, why didn't you answer the phone just now, it scared us to death, and I thought something happened to you. β
The father's side was obviously worried because he couldn't contact Qiao Xiu just now.
"Give me the phone, Ah Xiu, you dead boy, you, are you okay? β
Before Qiao Xiu could reply to his father's words, he heard his mother snatch his father's mobile phone over there.
"Uh, Mom, I'm sorry, I didn't hear the phone ringing because of my cultivation just now, so I didn't hear the phone ringing, I'm sorry, I'm tired, you're worried. That, Mom, something happened in my hometown tonight, and there's nothing wrong with you there, right?"
Qiao Xiu first apologized to his mother, and then asked with concern.
"Ah Xiu, don't you know, tonight the whole world has changed, and there are a lot of air gates in various places...... Mom, it's the door of space, oh yes, it's the door of space, and a lot of strange creatures run out of it to attack and destroy everywhere, killing and injuring a lot of people.
A large space gate also appeared on the outskirts of Maocheng, but fortunately, it was successfully blocked by the official troops, and the monster failed to break into the city, so we are all fine now.
I just heard from your brother that there is also a space gate near Nanzhen, we were worried about your situation, so we called you, but no one answered a few calls, scared us to death, and thought something happened to you. You kid, remember to answer the phone in time, you know?"
Hearing Qiao Xiu's question, the mother, who was just frightened, opened the conversation and talked about it.
"Oh, that's right, I'm sorry, Mom, I'm tired of worrying about you. β
Feeling his mother's mood, Qiao Xiu apologized again.
At the same time, through his mother's words, he can be regarded as having a general understanding of the situation tonight.
I thought that the situation here was just a special case, but I didn't expect it to be a global catastrophe.
"This is the result of the second outbreak?"
Thinking of this, Qiao Xiu's heart chilled.
"It seems that the previous idea is still too naΓ―ve, how can the great changes of the times be smooth sailing, all beautiful?"
If Qiao Xiu, who had embarked on the path of transcendence as a beneficiary of the first large-scale spiritual tide before, was mainly looking forward to the upcoming transcendent era, then after this time, he could be regarded as having seen the cruel side that he needed to experience from the ordinary era to the transcendent era.
Not only him, but I believe that many people will be like him, understanding that the transcendent era is not all good times, and the huge destructive power brought by extraordinary power may make the world chaotic and dangerous.
Blood and fire may be the main theme of the extraordinary era.
"Well, it's good to see that you're okay, you must pay attention to safety when you are home alone. β
The mother said it, and the emotions were released, and the mood calmed down.
"Well, got it, so do you. By the way, what about Big Brother?"
Qiao Xiu suddenly thought of his eldest brother, he was a member of the Maocheng Extraordinary Management Bureau, shouldn't he go to guard the gate of space?
"Alas, your brother has just been recalled to the bureau, and now it seems that he has gone to the outskirts of the city with a large army, and I don't know what the situation is, and we are also worried about him. β
Hearing Qiao Xiu's question, another worry in his mother's heart was also raised.
"I knew it was so dangerous, and I didn't agree with your brother joining the official in the first place. β
As a mother, in the end, she feels the most sorry for her child, so she complained a little angrily.
"Mom, it's okay, brother is just a logistics officer, he doesn't need to go directly to the battlefield, the rear should still be safe. β
After listening to his mother's words, Qiao Xiu could only comfort him like this.
Originally, he wanted to tell his mother about the affairs of the village, but now Qiao Xiu didn't dare to say it, so as not to worry and be sad for his mother.
Although the villagers who stayed in the village did not have close and affectionate relatives, many acquaintances and neighbors would still be sad to let their mothers and fathers know about the misfortune.
"Forget it, let's wait for the official to deal with the announcement. β
Qiao Xiu thought about it and didn't mention the specific situation in the village.
Qiao Xiu, his mother and father continued to talk for a while, telling them not to worry too much and to go to rest early, before hanging up the phone.
Then Qiao Xiu called Master Yang Zhen again, and learned that Master was guarding the gate of the space on the outskirts of Maocheng City along with the official masters.
Master Yang Zhen was also relieved to learn that Qiao Xiu was fine. Through official information before, he knew that a space gate had also appeared near Nanzhen, and a beast tide had attacked the surrounding villages.
Because of the extraordinary period, the master and apprentice didn't talk for too long, just said a few words, and hung up the phone.
After talking to Master on the phone, Qiao Xiu first replied to some friends' messages, reported his safety, and then dialed the official phone.
"Hello, I am a villager from Le Village, our village has just been attacked by wild beasts, and many people have died, please send someone over quickly. Yes, that's right, Nanzhenle Village. My name is Qiao Xiu, Qiao Xiu, and I am a Super Awakened Person, and probably the only survivor in our village. Most of those beasts ran away, some died, yes, that's probably the case, you guys come here......"
Qiao Xiu called over, at first it was still busy, and it took several calls in a row to get through, after getting through, Qiao Xiu told the other party the general situation, and learned that the official personnel were already in action, so he hung up the phone.
Next, he just waited for the official to send someone to clean up the mess, and he had nothing to do.
Then Qiao Xiu put down his phone, took out a few clean clothes, ran into the bathroom and took a hot shower.
After washing, seeing that the sky outside was already cloudy and it was almost dawn, Qiao Xiu, who was not sleepy, sat down cross-legged and began to practice the breathing method.
After this great change, Blue Star's danger index can be said to have soared, so Qiao Xiu is even more urgent to improve his strength.
As soon as he began to cultivate, Qiao Xiu felt abnormal, the concentration of dark energy around him had obviously increased a lot, and the dark energy factor was also more active.
"It seems that this second spiritual outburst is not entirely a bad thing......
Such a thought flashed in his heart, and Qiao Xiu quickly immersed himself in cultivation.
"Quick, hurry around and see if there are any survivors, and don't leave a family behind. β
It didn't take long for there to be a noise outside, and Qiao Xiu opened his eyes and withdrew from his cultivation state.
"It seems that someone from the official has arrived. β
Thinking so, Qiao Xiu jumped up from the ground, and then quickly went downstairs.
Chirp!
"Captain, come on, there are two corpses here, wait, and a ferocious beast!"
Before Qiao Xiu could go downstairs, Nobita's scream rang out, and at the same time, a man's nervous scream came.
"Suffered!"
Qiao Xiu knew that he was going to suffer as soon as he heard it, and Nobita's existence might have caused an official misunderstanding.
"It's a wounded otherworldly beast, kill it. β
Sure enough, another voice came, shouting to kill Nobita.
"Stop!"
Qiao Xiu was in a hurry, jumped down the stairs in a few steps, pushed open the gate and went out to the courtyard, and saw three men in official uniforms trying to besiege Nobita, he quickly shouted to stop.
"Nobita, don't attack, retreat. β
Ignoring the suspicious official trio, Qiao Xiu instructed Nobita again.
Chirp!
Nobita was also obedient, put away his claws and quickly retreated to the idle house.
"Who are you, and what does this transcendent beast have to do with you?"
Looking at Qiao Xiu, who suddenly appeared, the man in charge asked a little surprised.
"Hello guys, my name is Qiao Xiu, I am the owner of this house, and the big bird is my pet, it has nothing to do with the beasts that attacked the village last night, don't get me wrong. β
In the face of the official personnel, Qiao Xiu's attitude was quite polite.
"What you say is true?"
The man looked at Qiao Xiu carefully, and felt that Qiao Xiu hadn't had time to completely retract his powerful aura because he had just interrupted his cultivation, and he didn't dare to be too tough, but he still had to ask what he should ask.
"Of course it's true, don't you see, this big bird listens to me very much, it's called Nobita. As for my identity, it's easier to prove, I'm also an officially certified superpower, so I'll take it down and show it to you later. Also, that my master is Yang Zhen of the Eight Desolations Martial Arts Hall in Maocheng. β
In extraordinary times, in order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, Qiao Xiu explained his identity in detail, and even moved out the identity of Yang Zhen's apprentice.
"Ahh
When the official on the other side heard this, they were very surprised, and at the same time, their original guard posture also slowed down slightly.
It turned out that last time Qiao Xiu had an accident to save Sanxiao from serious injuries, Yang Zhen had already spread the news that he had been accepted as a closed disciple, and both the Maocheng martial arts world and officials at all levels in Maocheng knew that there was such a person as Qiao Xiu.
"Uh, that's right, I am indeed Yang Zhen's disciple Qiao Xiu. β
Being looked at by the three people on the other side with shocked and envious eyes, Qiao Xiu felt a little embarrassed, and at the same time, he also understood more and more how heavy Master Yang Zhen's weight was in the Maocheng Transcendent Realm.
"It turned out to be the tall feet of Pavilion Master Yang, so that's right. I'm sorry, because of last night's incident, I can't help but be a little nervous when I suddenly see such an extraordinary beast. β
At this point, the three people on the other side had roughly believed Qiao Xiu's words, and their vigilance had relaxed.
"It's okay, it's an extraordinary time, I understand. β
In this regard, Qiao Xiu naturally has no opinion. Not only did he have no opinion, Qiao Xiu also asked the other party to wait for a while, and then went back to the house to take down his superpower certificate and check it for them.
After checking their identities, the three of them were completely relieved.
After talking, Qiao Xiu knew that the other party was the combat team of the Gaoxian Branch of the Transcendent Administration Bureau, who had come down to support Nanzhen.
Among them, the team leader is named Yang Guo, and the other two are Li Yu and Guo Yu.
"Qiao Xiu, you killed this woman and this strange beast?"
After confirming Qiao Xiu's identity, the three of them focused on the two corpses in the courtyard.
After coming back last night, before Qiao Xiu had time to clean up the yard, the bodies of Zhu Hongyan and the red fox were lying in place.
