183 Hundred Ghosts Night Walk
Under the cover of night, the iron truck moved quickly.
Inside the car.
"Daoyou, are you okay?" Looking at the cold woman's dark green left shoulder, the younger Taoist priest couldn't help but ask.
Before the sword labor ghost blew himself up, although Xuanyuan recalled the grass soldiers, he only barely surrounded everyone.
And because the cold woman was too far forward, before the grass soldiers shrouded her, her left shoulder was accidentally infected by the poisonous source in the body of the sword ghost.
Fortunately, the young man reacted in time, directing the golden light to penetrate under her skin and stabilize the injuryβbut it only barely stopped her injury, unable to completely remove the source of the poison.
The cold woman showed a rare smile, and her tone was obviously grateful: "It's okay, when the Mitian New Area settles down, I can use the secret method to take it out." On the contrary, if it weren't for your magic weapon, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to persevere under the poisonous source infection. β
"I'm just icing on the cake, the most important thing is Xuanyuan. He was a little embarrassed to be thanked by the cold woman.
Xuanyuan looked at their interaction and smiled: "Don't be polite, the new area is ahead." We'll report this to the Federation, and maybe get some points. β
Everyone followed Xuanyuan's gaze, and in the distance, buildings loomed and dimly lit.
Cang Ting's eyes sank, and his voice was a little solemn: "Something is wrong, Xiao Yang, you stop the car first." β
"This ...... What's wrong?" The young man was puzzled.
"It's too dark. The middle-aged Taoist wearing the glaive crown squeezed in front and frowned.
"That's right, because of the marginal nature of the new area, its security is not 100% guaranteed. So, in general, there should be lookouts around the new area to detect unexpected situations in time. β
"But the building in front of you, you see, the lookout was lit up, but there was no one in it. Cang Ting pointed to an eye-catching tower in the distance and said to everyone.
The young Taoist priest was a little helpless and said, "Then let's do this now, go inside and investigate, or wait here?"
Everyone couldn't help but look at Xuanyuan.
Xuan Yuan didn't answer immediately: "Cangting, do you have any way to get in touch?"
Cang Ting hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes, yes, but that can only contact my master, he should be in another place now, I'm afraid I don't understand what happened here." β
"Who!" Just as Xuan Yuan was about to say what he had planned, he turned his head sharply and looked at the woods on the side.
Everyone's hearts tightened, and it didn't take long for the sound of Suo Suo to be heard in the forest.
"It's a human?"
"Of course it's human, didn't you see that this talisman is not burning!"
The conversation between a man and a woman came, and this voice made Xuan Yuan feel quite familiar, and he asked tentatively, "Li Dafu?"
"Hey, Xuanyuan Dao Chang!" A surprised voice came from inside, and then the two couples rushed out of it, their faces full of joy that could hardly be hidden.
"Ouch, Dao Chief, I'm looking forward to you!" Li Dafu's fat face burst into laughter, and his two eyes were almost squinted into a slit, "We've had a really hard time these days, you don't know that ......"
"Don't talk nonsense here!" Wang Xiaoli, a middle-aged woman in the back, caught up and squeezed Li Dafu to the side, "Dao Chief, we need your help!"
Xuan Yuan pressed his hand and said, "Don't worry, say it slowly, what is going on here, how can the new area seem to have no living people?"
Wang Xiaoli swallowed her saliva, remembering the original situation, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes: "A hundred ghosts travel at night, and the new area is completely ruined." β
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
......
......
In the forest on a moonlit night, Xuan Yuan and the others followed closely behind Wang Xiaoli and the others while listening to their stories.
"The night attack on the new area by the hundred ghosts happened the night before yesterday, and no one reacted. But fortunately, we were all prepared, so we didn't panic too much. β
"Because long before this happened, the new district was already panicked, and all kinds of speculation were rampant. β
"We are the sixteenth team of the development of Mitian New District, with a total of more than 340 people, and there is not a single one who is not alarmed. β
"It's not just the poisoning of the mountain that bothers us, it's all kinds of weird events. As long as it is night, there is an endless stream of seeping things. β
"Like a light bulb going off for no reason, like a faucet suddenly going from off to max, like a mirror bursting open......"
"In the process, there are also many people who want to break the contract and return from the edge of the inland sea to the inland city. But I don't know what the reason is, the federal government directly rejected everyone's request, and even we were placed under house arrest in this area in disguise. β
Xuan Yuan was silent, and suddenly asked, "How many people are there in the ruined temple where you are hiding?"
After Wang Xiaoli paused, her face showed a hint of loneliness: "Not including us, there are fifty-seven people in total." Of these, there were forty-seven young men and women, two elderly professors, five children, and one baby. β
A string of data was reported, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but widen.
The Daoist wearing the Glaive Crown was silent for a while, muttering to himself: "With such heavy casualties, how should the Federation end......
Xuan Yuan didn't care about other people's feelings, just frowned and asked, "The life and death of other people, you have ...... Sure?"
"Nope. Wang Xiaoli shook her head, "There may be other people hiding in the woods, but according to our judgment, they are probably dead." β
"What do you mean? Didn't you say that the ghosts had been hovering in the new area and weren't wandering around!"
"The threat is not the ghosts, but a dark green or dark purple monster that, according to one professor's guess, is called a knife ghost. β
"When we ran away, half of a girl's palm was sprayed by the poisonous gas of a monster with a dark purple body. Speaking of this, Wang Xiaoli was silent.
Tang Shuhui, who had been silent all the way, suddenly said at this moment: "What about later? You won't drive her out, right?"
"How come!" Wang Xiaoli retorted without hesitation, with a trace of sadness in her eyes, "Liuqing is a good girl, and I am still waiting for my brother to marry her home." β
"But in the end, we couldn't get her back to life. After her death, her remains had to be cremated. β
After speaking, Wang Xiaoli stopped talking. Everyone also had their own thoughts in their hearts, and they were silent along the way.
After walking for an hour or two, a little fire suddenly appeared in the mountain forest in the distance, and vaguely, it could be seen that it was a deserted temple.
