Zhuyun placed everyone in a hidden cave, and then walked to the entrance of the cave, and turned his eyes in the direction of the central district, where he lived, but a group of bandits suddenly broke in, they burned and looted, wantonly slaughtered their compatriots, and forced the people to the shelter cave.

One by one, the people ran into the shelter cave of Qingtan Mountain, lying on the hard stone wall, covering their bleeding wounds and groaning in pain.

Children are crying, adults are silent as they recall their fears, and young people, who were already happy to be adults, are tearing up their dirty clothes and weeping in despair.

The "gift" of the coming-of-age ceremony came too suddenly.

Before everyone could recover their senses, an explosion was heard in the distant woods. Flames the size of fingernails lit up on the silvery leaves, but in an instant, they spread and ignited the entire forest. The firelight lit up the sky, and the black smoke stained what should have been a silent and clear summer night.

Under the bright moon, a flock of frightened birds streaked across the sky, crying and flying rapidly in the moonlight.

"Elder Li, go all the way!" Zhuyun knelt on one knee, the firelight in his eyes gradually blurred, tears squeezed out of his eyes and flowed down his cheeks, he deliberately stood in the shadows, just to hide the irrepressible grief.

He looked at the sea of fire, bowed his head, and mourned in silence for all the victims.

"Elder Li, don't worry, I will definitely save Heichen, even if it is at the cost of my life!"

"Brother Yun. Behind Zhu Yun, Zhu Ziying walked out slowly, her left shoulder wrapped in a bandage, and her cheeks illuminated by the distant firelight.

Noticing her arrival, Zhuyun quietly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Ziying, why did you come out, you are seriously injured, you have to rest well." ”

"This injury was given by the eldest brother...... Zhu Ziying combed up the oblique bangs, revealing her whole face, and her originally delicate cheeks were covered with dust and blood, "Second brother, you are also seriously injured, and your physical exertion is not small, leave it to me here." ”

"Actually, you can..."

"I can help you, seeing you come forward to fight, and I can only run away, I don't want to do this anymore!" Zhu Ziying interrupted him, and her tone was a little more resolute, "Now that our home is in trouble, we are all responsible." ”

Zhuyun smiled, then straightened up with difficulty and walked slowly towards her. The steps are deep and shallow, and every step has a blood-red mark.

Zhuyun sweated, for the body on the verge of collapse, every step was a test of the body. Suddenly, his eyes went dark, and the strength to maintain his whole body seemed to be drained all of a sudden, his knees bent straight, and the whole person fell.

"Brother!" Zhu Ziying hurriedly held him up.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" At this time, Zhuyun had already fainted.

Zhu Ziying looked at Zhuyun's pale face, and her whole body was hot. This time, she really experienced what it means to be heartbreaking.

"Brother Yun, you have a good rest. ”

Zhu Ziying looked at the woods in the distance again, and the fire was still spreading. She gritted her teeth and helped Zhuyun's body to the cave where she was hiding.

Since the war ten years ago, Black Dust has implemented a series of measures to enhance its strength and self-defense capabilities. First of all, a standing army was set up, and each family was given young and middle-aged people according to the proportion of the population, guided by professionals, and drilled every day, with a fixed time, and the rest of the time was used for activities such as farming, in case a new war broke out; secondly, it was to integrate intelligence officers and capable people together to become a secret organization---- Yin, who was responsible for gathering intelligence on Heichen and protecting the safety of the elders, and at the same time performing some difficult tasks. The "hidden" organization operates and its secrets, and no one knows the rules and goals of its operation except for insiders and elders. "Hidden" are distributed throughout the black dust, their identities are hidden, they form an intelligence network, like spiders, once the prey is caught, they can take the fastest way to solve the problem; in addition, black dust built three shelter caves, the location of the caves and their concealment, black dust cost a lot of money, it took a lot of manpower and material resources to build. Each cave was carved hundreds of meters deep, and three caves were enough to hold all the Black Dust civilians, and they would only come in handy when they had to do so.

Now, Zhu Ziying and the others are in the largest cave located not far from the central area, and the entrance is sealed by a black dust barrier, which is difficult for outsiders to detect.

At this moment, there are thousands of people in this cave, all of whom have fled from all over the world.

A few candles were lit on the stone walls of the cave, and by the dim light of the candles, the expressions on everyone's faces could be seen clearly. When Zhu Ziying helped Zhuyun into the cave, the gaze that came over her made her a little stunned, and her eyes were full of panic, anxiety, and confusion.

It was quiet in the cave, there was no noise, and they did not forget to be afraid, but did not dare to be afraid. The children hid in their parents' arms and wept and sobbed, and the adults leaned together, their eyes glazed over, and they didn't say a word, because they were afraid that the guys outside might find this place at any time, and although there was an enchantment to protect it, outsiders couldn't detect it, but this time, there were people in the black dust, and they had become puppets of the enemy, and they could find this place at any time. Therefore, when Ziying came in, everyone was very nervous, and they were relieved when they saw her face clearly.

The crowd leaned on both sides of the cave to make room for the paramedics to move back and forth, but the invasion was too sudden and the enemy was strong, so there were heavy casualties. The paramedics carried the seriously injured and unconscious to a small stone cave inside for treatment, while the rest of the wounded leaned aside and simply bandaged their wounds.

Mo Chen walked to Ziying's side, looked at Zhuyun's injury, sighed, and said, "Carry it inside." ”

The cave, which had been abandoned for ten years, was suddenly packed, and the walkways became narrow, giving the impression of being dirty and dim.

Shen Tuo opened his eyes and looked at the dim environment, surrounded by refugees and the helpless faces of several elders. The whole cave was wet, and if you listened carefully, you could hear the sound of water dripping, there were many stalactites on the ground, and several children raised their heads and stuck out their tongues to catch the water, and they took turns doing this, lacking the sunshine and liveliness that children should have.

Shen Tuo sat up, and the pain in the back of his head came one after another.

"This is..."Shen Tuo walked in the cave with the support of everyone.

The people were all leaning on both sides of the cave, their eyes glazed, and when Shen Tuo appeared, as if they had seen a savior, they got up slightly, eager to refill their eyes in despair.

The medical staff were busy treating the wounded, their foreheads covered with sweat and their backs soaked. With all the supplies stored in the vault, the medicine was quite sufficient in the face of such a situation. The wounded lying on the stones, they groaned in pain, their clothes were ragged, and blood flowed.

Shen Tuo saw everyone's faces clearly with the help of candlelight, panic, uneasiness, and confusion, all of which were written. He took a step, and as soon as the soles of his feet hit the ground, his legs suddenly went limp, and he fell hard.

"Speaker!"

"Speaker, be careful!"

“......”

All at once they gathered around him and helped him up.

Shen Tuo grabbed a person's arm and stood up with difficulty, he searched among the crowd, his head dangling: "Why are there two people missing, what about Zhuyun, what about Li Qian? Where are they?"

"Old Shen, Zhuyun is injured and is being treated. However, Li rushed... He—" The thunderous voice gradually lowered, and finally shut up directly, without saying any more.

"Li Qian, what about the others, where did he go?" Shen Tuo staggered over to Lei Dong, grabbed his clothes, and pulled them a few times, "Where did he go?"

"Li rush... He... sacrificed, in order for us to retreat ... He sacrificed himself. Lei pointed his finger at the entrance of the cave, and the sky outside was lit by firelight, "In that sea of fire..."

"What did you say? What did you say!" Shen Tuo shook vigorously, his eyes widened, "It should have been me, it's me." Shen Tuo let go of Lei Dong, pushed away the guards who were helping him, turned around and walked towards the entrance of the cave, walking step by step.

"Li Rush, you... It's really rushed, you should be alive, it's me who is dead, it's me!" He coughed a few times, his body was a little unsteady, and the guard was about to move forward, but Shen Tuo waved his hand to make him stop, "I am a sinner, a sinner of Black Dust, I didn't do my duty as the speaker!"

"No, Speaker, it's not like that. There were people behind him who hurriedly persuaded them, and they all stood up and looked at Shen Tuo.

He turned, his whole face turned pale, and his gaze swept through the crowd, one by one, and another......

"Fathers and fellow villagers, Shen Tuo is incompetent, the leader is incompetent, and he has suffered a fiasco today, my sin!" he burst into tears and bowed his head to everyone to admit his mistakes.

"No, Speaker, no..."

"You're doing a great job..."

The people knelt down and explained to him, urging him not to blame himself.

"Old Shen, now is not the time to admit mistakes, we must face the difficulties and solve the problems!" Lei Guang looked at the crowd kneeling down one after another, and couldn't help but become impatient, "How can the eldest husband admit defeat easily?"

"yes. Elder Murong took over, "Now, the top priority is to discuss a good strategy to save the black dust, what is the use of giving up on yourself?"

"Speaker......"

"Speaker......"

One after another, the "Speaker" shouted, and everyone looked at Shen Tuo, in their eyes, this white-haired old man had always appeared as strong and resolute, but at this moment, he did not have the majesty of the past at all, but looked small and helpless.

Shen Tuo raised his head, looked at the trusting gazes of everyone, slowly closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. The brain was chaotic, with countless harsh voices lingering in the ears. But slowly, the words of the mockers faded away little by little, and the ugly faces of the mockers turned blank.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I, Shen Tuo, hereby swear not to expel the Dementor Family, not to revitalize the black dust again, and swear not to give up!"

"I would like to listen to Speaker Shen's dispatch, no more black dust, and never stop to death!" everyone replied one after another.

"What's the catch?" Kong Yan stood on the hillside near the border, looking out at the ink bamboo forest. Before the sun rose, the scene in front of me was blurry, like chaos.

"Lord Hui, when my subordinates were chasing Shen Tuo and the others, Li Jian stayed behind to drag us and others, and destroyed the path with an explosion, so... We only got Li Qian's corpse, which has now been injected into a new Xuanliu and become a puppet. Mo Feng replied.

"Death, or... In exchange for the survival of his companions?" Kong Yan's face was not quite right, she tilted her head slightly, and said to Mo Feng, "Continue searching." ”

"Yes, the subordinates retired. With that, he turned to leave, and as he left, Yu Guang glanced at Mo Yuyi, and then walked straight away.

Subsequently, Zhu Tianqing reported: "The army led by Zhao Wu and others has been severely defeated, and the vast majority of people have been taken, and now only a few hundred people have escaped, and Mo Hao, Shangguan Hua and Lei Guang are still searching. ”

"Zhao Wu is just one of the people who escaped, the black dust is quite big, and it is estimated that there are still many fish that have slipped through the net, so increase the efforts. ”

"Yes!" After speaking, he also left, leaving only Mo Yuyi standing behind Kong Yan.

"What about you, what's the catch?" she turned to look at Mo Yuyi.

"Lord Hui, there is no ......" Mo Yuyi shook his head.

Kong Yan turned his head again, motioned for him to step forward, then looked into the distance, and said, "The scenery here is good, do you have any impression?"

As soon as Mo Yu stepped forward, he looked around, and suddenly a picture flashed in his mind, the speed was too fast, and it disappeared before he could react. He took two steps back, and froze there, not saying a word.

"Really, no? I can't remember, or I don't want to say?"

As soon as these words came out, Mo Yuyi hurriedly knelt down to apologize: "My subordinates don't dare, but I really don't have any impression here." ”

"Don't be so nervous, it's just a normal chat, just get up. As he spoke, Kong Yan stretched out a hand in front of him, "If only you and I are present in the future, then you don't need to care about the so-called etiquette of superiors and subordinates." ”

"Yes. Mo Yu nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then gently held Kong Yan's hand. The moment it touched her palm, a cold feeling suddenly hit, which surprised Mo Yuyi. As soon as he stood up, he let go of his hand.

"Ziyu autumn leaves fall, snow in winter. The ink bamboo is noble, and it is spring when it returns. Kong Yan groaned.

The wind gently swept through Kong Yan's face, blowing her silver-white hair, and a few traces of cold air in her flowing hair slowly dispersed, wandering between the heavens and the earth. If a heavenly woman descends to earth, a smile can turn all beings upside down. As the sun rose, she watched the golden light gradually appear, standing on the grass, with a gentle breeze and a slight fragrance of flowers in the wind.

There is probably no more beautiful sight in the world.

The sun slowly rises, dyeing the eastern sky with a ruddy luster, and the soft sunlight slowly shines on the land, awakening the sleeping flowers and plants. The east wind dances, swaying the branches, and the leaves rustle. After yesterday's washing, the ruins also ushered in the first rays of sunshine. The devastated land is waiting for a new storm to hit......
