Volume 2 Corpse Transformation Witch Chu Chapter 125 Dark Night, Lonely You
"It doesn't matter. Gongsun Chao waved his hand casually, and suddenly got up holding his stomach and said to everyone, "It's rude, I'm going to find a place to solve my personal problems." After saying that, his stomach made a loud "growling" sound.
Xiong Zhong waved his hand with a disgusted expression: "Go quickly, be careful not to be bitten by a living corpse." ”
Gongsun Chao received the order and immediately fled.
Everyone looked at Gongsun Chao's funny back and couldn't help laughing, which added a bit of vitality to the solemn atmosphere.
After seeing Gongsun Chao leave, Xiong Zhong turned around and asked, "Mr. Ouyang has mentioned several times that he can't see the starry sky...... Did you find something unusual?"
As the next King of Chu, he is really more sensitive than ordinary people.
Ouyang nodded: "Yes, there are some perceptions, but they are just some unfounded speculations." ”
Xiong Zhong's expression was straight, his original cross-legged expression turned into a precarious seat, and he asked in a solemn tone: "Please Mr. Ouyang, don't be stingy with your words, and tell us your guess to this group of foolish people." ”
Hey, hey, you're too sincere, aren't you...... What do you want to do to make me loyal to you?
Ouyang raised his eyebrows, Quan Dang didn't see it, pointed to the sky and said, "If there is a vision in the sky, then there will be chaos in the country." I've heard of this, right?"
Xiong Zhong nodded: "Indeed...... Several teachers have said similar things. You mean ......"
"The current situation of the Chu State is not mentioned for the time being, you are naturally aware of the personal experience, which is almost equivalent to being in the most critical period of the change of royal power, and it is an important time node related to whether the Chu State is still alive in the world. But this time the astrological changes are not just about a certain star, but the whole sky is in darkness......"
Xiong Zhong's reaction was very fast, and he immediately understood: "What Mr. Ouyang means is that this chaos may be a chaos between the entire countries?"
In fact, the whole world, silly boy, this is no longer a petty fight between human beings.
"It's not bad, I just don't know what the celestial phenomena are like in other countries. Ouyang nodded and continued to explain, "If the celestial phenomena of several other countries are also like this, then we must be extremely vigilant against this zombie disaster, because this is very likely to be a great natural disaster that is rare to see in thousands of years and sweeps the entire continent." ”
"I see......," Kumanaka nodded solemnly, "I will definitely do my best to put an end to this plague." ”
"......" Ouyang opened his mouth, eager to explain that this was not a plague, but a parasite.
And if you can put an end to this "plague" directly with your ability, I will feel very shameless.
But after thinking about it, such an explanation might have to popularize primary creatures among bears from scratch, so I gave up such a troublesome idea.
It is already his limit to implicitly suggest that the end times are likely to come, and the more he talks, the bigger the problem becomes, and he must do things in moderation.
So there was a solemn silence around the campfire.
"Wow——!"
A near-breaking scream broke the silence in the distance.
The three of them immediately took their torches and swords, and ran towards the place where the sound came.
"There are living corpses!" Gongsun Chao ran out of the grove in a panic, and said to everyone, pointing to the forest.
Wang Sheng threw the long sword to Gongsun Chao, picked up the longbow, and took out a white feather arrow from the quiver and put it on the bow line, looking at the surrounding woods vigilantly.
Wang Sheng's bow technique is the Orion bow technique, which is somewhat similar to the "Iai Chop" or "Draw Sword Chop" of the Toei samurai, in which he lies on his stomach on the bow when he charges his strength, and as soon as a target appears, he will quickly pull the bow and shoot arrows.
Drawing a bow is a very physically demanding thing, as a hunter who has been alone in the deep mountains and old forests for a long time, such a bow skill can greatly ensure that his physical strength will not be consumed too quickly.
After Gongsun Chao took the long sword, he immediately entered the battle state, the long sword was drawn, and he formed a semicircle with several people, staring at the woods vigilantly.
"Be on your guard and slowly move closer to the campfire. Ouyang said.
"Yes!"
"Rustle!"
There was a sudden noise in the woods, which startled everyone's hands in clenching their weapons a little harder.
"——!Boom" The woods shook for a while, and then a dark figure ran out of the woods.
"Childe?!Mr. Ouyang?!"
Everyone looked at the African man and was stunned for a long time, not thinking out who it was.
Orion Wang Sheng's eyes were sharp, and he shouted tentatively: "Yi Chang Qu Tian?!"
"Yes, it's me. Wu Yu nodded his head.
"Qu Tian!" Xiong Zhong called out the name through gritted teeth, rushing forward and kicking it over.
"Childe, I'm ......" Qu Tian struggled to get up.
"Bang!" Kumanaka added another kick.
"You bastard, you bastard who has lost the dignity of nobility!"
Xiong Zhong stepped on Qu Tian's chest and pressed the blade of his long sword against Qu Tian's neck: "As a nobleman on the shepherding side, he actually abandoned his own people, do you know how many people have been lost and how much blood they have shed?!"
Before leaving, Xiong Zhong and Gongsun Chao went to check on the people hiding on the eaves of the nobles, only a very small number of them survived, and most of the people failed to escape to a safe place in time and became zombies.
The young and vigorous Xiong Zhong was furious, eager to correct Qu Tian in front of him on the spot.
"Don't be impulsive!" Ouyang pressed Xiong Zhong's gradually clenched hand, "Even if you kill him now, it won't help." ”
Gongsun Chao also persuaded: "Yes, Gongzi, it's not worth killing him, don't stain your hands for such a moth." ”
Xiongzhong looked up at the dark sky, took a deep breath, retracted his feet, sheathed his sword, and looked away.
That look, it seems that if he looks at Qu Tian more, he may not be able to help but cut him again.
Ouyang squatted down and asked, "Didn't you escape on a ship, why did you look like you were struck by lightning?" ”
"Ship ...... There was a plague on the ship, and the plague spread on the ship...... The nobles have become monsters!" Qu Tian said breathlessly as he lay on the ground, his expression a little frightened as he spit out the last word.
Xiong Zhong turned his head, glanced at Ouyang, and asked Qu Tian, "What do you mean by that?"
Qu Tian turned over vigorously, sat on the ground and said, "Someone brought the body of a living corpse to the boat, and everyone contracted the plague because of that corpse, only I escaped by jumping into the river." ”
"Wait a minute, infected with the plague?" Ouyang suddenly said in a loud voice, "Could it be that the mode of transmission has become airborne?"
If that's the case, then it's a big deal.
Except for a few people with their own natural antibodies who can live, almost everyone in this world is waiting to die.
No, the protagonist of this "life crisis" is a parasite, how can it be airborne?
"Airborne ...... What do you mean?" Qu Tian asked timidly.
As a nobleman, his knowledge reserve is not lacking, but in the face of Ouyang, a word from two thousand years later, the more he chewed, the more he felt secluded, and he felt somewhat empty-hearted.
"It's spread through the air, and if you don't get bitten, you directly become a zombie. Ouyang explained.
"It's not like that, a lot of people were bitten, and then it spread from person to person. Qu Tian explained.
"That's ......" Ouyang breathed a sigh of relief.
Really, I had to say something "plague", something "spread", the word was inaccurate, and it scared me.
"Where is that ship now?" asked Kumanaka.
"The plague spread while driving to think about it, and now it's ......" Qu Tian hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to continue.
Xiong Zhong was puzzled: "Didn't you go to Shouchun?
"We were originally going to enter Huaishui, and then go to Shouchun, but the person at the helm did not control the direction, as soon as the wind blew, the direction became the opposite direction, when we walked more than half the way, only to find out, and then turn around and too troublesome, so we simply went to Yingdu. ”
"If the ship has already arrived at the ...... of the period," Gongsun Chao looked at Xiong Zhong, "Isn't that already about to enter the range of Yingdu City?"
"Not necessarily. Xiong Zhong explained, "It is also possible to enter Rushui and go in the direction of Pengcheng." ”
Ouyang and Wang Sheng glanced at each other, not knowing how to answer.
One of them is an "alien", and the other is a rural hunter who has stayed in Yanlouyi since birth and has only been to Shouchun as farthest, so it can be said that he knows nothing about this kind of geographical knowledge.
Gongsun Chao said: "Whether it is Pengcheng or Yingdu, if such a ship of monsters arrives, without knowing the details, the army defending the city is really likely to fall directly." ”
"Yingdu should have received the news at this time, but I don't know if I'm ready. Kumanaka sighed.
"That ......," Qu Tian said timidly, "the messenger actually only went to Shouchun ......"
"What? you bastard!" Gongsun was so angry that he wanted to kick Qu Tian twice, but was stopped by Ouyang.
"Then it's troublesome...... Our plans to get to Jumu are on hold. Ouyang said, "If you don't notify in time, it is very likely that it will spread from Yingdu and radiate to the entire Chu State, and even the Central Plains and several countries bordering the Chu State will not be able to escape." ”
"The question now is whether to go to Yingdu or to Pengcheng......" Gongsun Chao was silent for a moment and looked at Xiongzhong, "Pengcheng's words are actually similar to going to Jumu, but Yingdu's words are ......"
"There's no need to be so entangled. Ouyang looked at a map drawn on parchment by the light of the torch and said, "Since we don't know if the ship has entered Rushui or is still in Huaishui, let's just go to Qi Siyi to have a look and find out if there are any clues."
When the time comes, if there are really no clues, we will divide the army into two routes, Gongzizhong and Wang Sheng will go to Pengcheng to find your teacher Gongyi class, and Gongsun Chao and I will go to Yingdu, although I have no official position, I am also a nobleman. ”
As he spoke, he took out the jade seal and shook it.
This is the best arrangement, which can not only protect Xiongzhong, but also bring reinforcements from the public loss class.
Xiong Zhong and Gongsun Chao glanced at each other and nodded: "Okay." ”
