●Extra● (1/6)
The sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy bent over and stared closely at a group of chubby beasts less than 20 centimeters tall from the bushes in front of him, for fear of making any noise.
Beside him, the foreheads of about a dozen other people were also covered in cold sweat.
Dudu beasts have snow-white fur, are round and chubby, and can make a "doo" sound. Just from their appearance, they are so cute and cute that it makes your heart melt. However, they are also among the top ten most ferocious animals in current records. of terrifying existence.
When they are angry, a bunch of sharp bone spurs will pop up on their bodies. Those bone spurs are highly poisonous. Any creature that touches them will be immediately corroded over a large area, and there is no treatment so far.
They hate sounds the most, and any movement is enough to make their group go crazy. Once provoked, they will definitely chase the person who provokes them to the ends of the earth until the person who provokes them is dead.
But this kind of creature has a ferocious attack power that is completely different from its appearance. There is a lot of oil and carbon in the nest where it lives.
The boy's Adam's apple slipped, and just as he was about to take another step forward, his arm was suddenly grabbed.
The young man was startled and looked back quickly.
Beside him, a bald man with a ferocious face scolded him silently, "Do you want to die?"
Being attacked, the young man lowered his head and looked at a wooden stick at his feet, shrinking his neck in grievance. He saw it.
The bald man glared at him again, and then turned back to tell the group of people behind him to be careful.
Everyone nodded, no one wanted to die.
After giving the instructions, the bald man took the lead and walked forward.
"Click."
The sound of sun-burnt branches snapping under the force of gravity broke the silence.
In that moment, the world was quiet.
The Dudu beasts gathered in twos and threes in front of them and were basking in the sun were suddenly awakened. They all turned their bodies to look in the direction of the sound.
Being watched, a layer of cold sweat formed on the foreheads of the people behind them.
"Boss, I didn't step on it." The young man immediately proved his innocence.
The corner of the bald man's mouth twitched fiercely, he lowered his head and glanced at the wooden stick at his feet, and he had the intention to kill.
The next moment, he turned around and ran without saying a word, "Run!"
As his powerful roar spread across the wilderness, the entire world that had been dead silent just a moment ago began to boil. Countless round and furry dumplings quickly jumped in their direction.
"Dudu..."
"Dudu."
A group of about ten people gritted their teeth and rushed forward amidst the beeping sounds. No one was willing to run at the end, because they all knew that once they were attacked, they would never get up again.
"Boss, you stepped on it!" the boy shouted loudly while running as hard as he could.
The muscles on the face of the bald man running at the front were violently twitched. If it weren't for the critical moment, he would definitely go back and beat him.
"Get back in the car!" Baldhead yelled.
Everyone walked around a bush in front of them and ran quickly towards the woods in the distance. They parked the car on the other side of the woods.
A group of people rushed into the woods at great speed.
The person running at the end looked back and glanced at the white dumpling that had already followed him. He couldn't even use up the energy to feed himself.
"Boss..." The young man couldn't run.
"If you don't want to die, run away!"
Quickly passing through the woods full of huge tree trunks, everyone looked happy when they saw the light ahead.
The bald man was the first to rush out of the woods. He was about to walk towards the car parked in front of him when he saw a figure facing him.
With slightly fluffy and messy short hair, a slightly thin figure, a backpack and an ax made from the bones of the Corpse King, the man has a handsome face.
They were too fast and rushed out too suddenly. When the other party heard the movement and looked back, their eyes were full of surprise.
"Run!" Baldhead shouted as a reminder.
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed past the man and ran forward.
Listening to the roar, Ji Yanqing instinctively looked towards the woods behind the few people, and saw a group of white dumplings jumping among the dead branches and rotten leaves. He instantly understood what was going on.
Looking at the crowds of people rushing around and the white dumplings that kept chasing after them, Ji Yan felt a moment of nostalgia. This scene seemed familiar.
"Run..." The young man rushed past Ji Yanqing and found that Ji Yanqing was motionless. He stretched out his hand to grab Ji Yanqing and run away with him.
Ji Yan took a step aside to avoid the boy's outstretched hand, and at the same time quickly took the ax wrapped in cloth from his back.
He stood with his legs slightly apart and stared quietly at the group of furballs in front of him.
There is no point in escaping, as once provoked, they will be chased to the ends of the earth.
Even in a car, the bone spurs of these doodle beasts can easily pierce tires and car window glass.
"boarding!"
"Go quickly..."
"What are you doing!"
A group of people rushed to the car and hurriedly got in.
When they found that Ji Yanqing was holding an ax and seemed to want to fight those group of hairy dumplings, the bald people's brows jumped fiercely. Isn't Ji Yanqing a fool?
The next moment, Ji Yanqing suddenly took two steps forward, swinging the ax in his hand, and hit the white dumpling in the front directly, sending it flying.
Bai Tuanzi drew a perfect parabola in the air, fell into the distant woods, rolled among dead branches and rotten leaves, and fainted completely.
Witnessing this scene, the group of white dumplings who originally chased the bald man and the others paused for a moment before rushing towards Ji Yanqing angrily.
Ji Yanqing was prepared. He took a step back and distanced himself. The ax in his hands danced at the same time, hitting a dumpling accurately every time.
In less than a minute, more than ten dumplings were sent flying by Ji Yan.
Seeing that they could not break through the defense line, the roaring sounds in the throats of a group of extremely angry dumplings became sharp.
Ji Yan didn't retreat but advanced instead, with a fierce look on his face, and he hit the ground hard with the ax in his hand, "Bang!"
●Extra● (2/6)
"Beep..." The momentum of the group of dumplings who were so angry just now suddenly weakened.
"Bang!" Ji Yanqing took another step forward, becoming more and more fierce.
Hearing the sound of the ax hitting the ground hard and feeling the shaking of the ground, a group of white dumplings looked at each other and looked at you.
Ji Yanqing stepped forward again.
Before the ax in Ji Yanqing's hand fell to the ground, a group of white dumplings turned around and ran away as if they were frightened. While running away, they did not forget to take away their fainted companions.
Looking at the group of white dumplings disappearing like a tide, Ji Yanqing's heart was full of nostalgia and a little funny at the same time.
Although the Dudu beast is ferocious, it has one characteristic, that is, it bullies the weak and fears the strong. As long as you are more ferocious than it, it will be afraid.
They suffered a lot when they first discovered Dudumon. Later, when they figured out each other's characteristics, everyone was dumbfounded.
Recalling what happened back then, Ji Yan put the ax on his back lightly.
Ji Yan glanced at the stunned group of people in the car next to him and continued walking forward.
This area was all wilderness, and he didn't expect that there would be a Dudu beast's lair next to it, and that he would meet people here.
"Oh, you..." The young man was the first to react.
The bald man followed closely behind. He quickly started the car and caught up with Ji Yanqing, driving side by side with Ji Yanqing.
He looked at Ji Yanqing from the car window. Ji Yanqing looked about twenty-five or six, and besides a backpack, he only had an axe.
"Are you alone?" Baldhead asked.
Ji Yan glanced at him lightly and said, "Yeah."
"Are you from the exploration team too?" Baldhead asked.
"That's right." Ji Yan was vague.
"Then why are you alone?" The young man stuck his head out of the window at the back.
An exploration team is at least ten people in size. That’s not to say that it won’t work with less people, but it’s so dangerous outside. It’s difficult for a ten-person exploration team to move forward, let alone one person.
"Something happened temporarily." Ji Yanqing was not prepared to elaborate.
"What's up?"
The bald man slapped the young man on the head from the window, "Why do you care so much? If you don't say thank you quickly, I will say that you third generation are not good enough..."
After being beaten, the young man held his head in grievance and pointed at Ji Yanqing, "Isn't he also the third generation?"
Ji Yanqing was barely a few years older than him.
Baldhead choked and was speechless. He raised his hand and wanted to hit someone again.
The young man hurriedly hid aside and said to Ji Yanqing, "Thank you for saving us."
Ji Yan glanced lightly at the bald head and the boy, "Yeah."
"Don't mind, it's my nephew's first time coming out with me. He's too young and hasn't started to grow a brain yet," said the bald head.
"I didn't step on it just now." The young man refused.
The bald man glared at him fiercely and ignored him, instead focusing on Ji Yanqing, "It's not safe for you to be alone outside. How about I give you a ride? Consider it a thank you for saving your life." ."
"No need." Ji Yan refused lightly. After a pause, he asked again: "Have you seen two fourteen/five-year-old children? Boys."
"Your brother?"
Ji Yan opened his mouth lightly and wanted to say it was his child, but then he changed his words and said, "Yeah."
The life of the Corpse King is much longer than that of human beings. Nearly a hundred years have passed, and he now looks to be only twenty-five or six years old. Ji An and Ji Le are only fourteen/five years old now, which makes them look real. More like brothers than father and son.
"Sorry, I didn't see it." Baldhead said.
Ji Yan nodded lightly.
"Are they lost?"
"Well, run away from home."
The bald head started chatting, "Children of this age are like this. They don't listen to discipline and always want to go out and have a try. They can't hold back..."
The young man standing next to him pursed his lips. He wanted to say something but was afraid of being beaten, so he could only put on a bad face.
"Why don't you go to Xiangyang and ask? There are a lot of people coming and going over there, maybe someone has seen it." Bald Head said.
"Yes, my uncle knows a lot of people from the exploration team. I can help you ask them when the time comes." The young man quickly helped.
"Call boss." The bald man slapped the boy on the forehead, which immediately caused the boy to wail.
Watching the interaction between the two, Ji Yanqing's lips curled up slightly, feeling a little moved.
Since leaving Xiangyang, he has not experienced this kind of life for a long time. Going out to explore with the people in the team seems to have been a lifetime ago.
Ji Yanqing looked around. He was still far away from Xiangyang, and there was no city nearby. Looking around, he saw lush plants and trees all around.
"That would be troublesome." Ji Yan said lightly.
"No trouble." The bald man stopped the car immediately.
A group of people in the car behind quickly moved aside to make way for Ji Yanqing.
Baldhead and the others were driving a small bus. The bus had been modified numerous times. The paint on the bus had long since peeled off and was stained with rust. There were about ten centimeters more reamers in the middle of the wheels. The glass was missing in many parts of the windows, leaving only a layer of iron mesh. .
The carriage has also been renovated. The front half of the carriage is used for seating people, and a small cargo box is separated in the back.
The carriage was not big, and a lot of daily necessities were stored in it since they were out for a long time. It was already a bit crowded for more than ten people. Seeing Ji Yanqing about to get on the carriage, a group of people quickly squeezed in again.
Ji Yanqing was wearing a white sportswear, which was incompatible with the group of people who were wrapped in three layers of clothing.
"Thank you." After sitting down, Ji Yan gently took off his backpack and put it on his lap.
"It's okay." A group of people in the car looked at Ji Yanqing secretly.
There were no scars on Ji Yan's tender skin. He didn't look like a member of the exploration team, nor did he look like a corpse king, because most corpse kings looked down on humans, let alone rescued them.
"Ahem." The bald man driving in front looked in the rearview mirror and said with some embarrassment, "We can't go back to Xiangyang right away, so we have to trouble you to wait."
Ji Yan looked away lightly.
●Extra● (3/6)
"We need to get some oil and carbon." Baldhead explained.
Ji Yan became clear.
The exploration team was not formed just for fun. Every time they go out, the energy consumed by the car needs to be exchanged and replenished with the supplies they bring back, so they generally do not use empty cars.
Nowadays, when supplies are scarce, the energy that provides kinetic energy to a car is quite expensive.
"Why do you want to get oil and carbon?" Ji Yanqing was curious.
Oil carbon is a very precious resource among all resources at present. It can be exchanged for a lot of materials compared to gold. However, due to the characteristics of the Dudu beast, only large teams dare to come.
"Hehe, isn't this the final of the Corpse King War soon? After I bring this batch of oil and carbon back and exchange it for points, I'm going to go to Devil City to try my luck." The bald man drove the car into the woods to find a place to hide, and filled his head with excitement. Blushing explanation.
Speaking of this, the faces of everyone in the car glowed red, and only the youngest boy flattened his lips in disdain, "Gambler."
"You know shit," the bald man said, "If the bet is successful, the odds are at least 10 to 1, and we won't have to do anything for the next year and just sit at home and enjoy it."
Speaking of this, other people in the car also joined in.
"When I get the money, I will definitely go to Xiangyang to open a room and live there for a month, with endless food and hot water available at any time..."
"Look at your potential."
"You are promising, what are you going to do?"
"Of course I will save the points. When I get old, I will get a room in Xiangyang. Then you will be drinking the northwest wind outside while I live in Xiangyang and watch. If I can get another wife..."
"roll!"
"Just like you, that woman likes you?"
"Men are fine too. As long as they are human beings, there are so many people alive now that we can still be picky."
…
&.
The people in the car were talking to each other one by one, with envy and expectation on their faces.
For them, Xiangyang is the only pure land in the world, and it is also a country where life and death are intoxicated.
As for the Corpse King War, to them it was like a national celebration.
Fighting with all your strength, shouting and cheering at the top of your lungs, the opportunity to get rich overnight, the store full of all kinds of rare things, the carnival where countless people gathered, it was a drunken life and death that could forget all the worries.
"Are you going?" The young man's face was also excited.
Ji Yan shook his head lightly.
"Why?"
"Let's talk about it then. I want to find my brother and the others first." Ji Yan said lightly. He had been tired of watching those games for a hundred years.
The boy was a little disappointed.
The car stopped in the woods, and a group of people got out quickly.
It was past two o'clock in the afternoon, and the hottest hours of the day had just passed. There was still an obvious heat in the air. Even if the breeze blew by, it still couldn't wipe away the heat on everyone's faces.
"Then you'll wait for us here first?" The bald man got out of the car with his gun and looked at Ji Yanqing.
Ji Yan put his backpack in the car lightly and got out of the car with only the ax, "Let's go together."
The eyes of the bald group of people were all bright. They had all seen Ji Yanqing's skills. With Ji Yanqing's joining, they would definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
"Okay, then we can divide it equally according to the number of people?" Baldhead asked.
"Okay." Ji Yanqing was not interested in the number of places brought by oil and carbon, but this kind of adventurous life made him miss it.
It was a rare trip out, so he planned to take the opportunity to do some exercise.
After discussing the distribution of supplies, the bald group of people quickly headed towards the woods to find the group of Dudu beasts from before.
They were already quite far away from their previous location, maybe ten minutes at least.
Dudu beasts are social creatures, and their habitat is very wide, covering the entire basin behind this forest.
Baldhead and the others were not planning to go back from their previous position. The Dudu beasts in that area must still be angry. Going back at this time would be asking for death.
"Be careful later and don't be stupid again." Bald Head warned as he led the way forward.
The young man looked around and saw that after being beaten twice in succession, he no longer dared to say anything.
The bald man walking in front was about to say something more when a beast roar suddenly came from the other side of the mountain range.
The forest trembled, the leaves swayed, and the sound that echoed throughout the forest was full of anger.
"Bang bang bang."
The roar of the beast is followed by the sound of gunshots.
The gunshots were dense and regular. The exploration team that encountered the Corpse King had a large number of people and should be a large organization.
Hearing the movement, the bald group of people who were excited just now turned pale in an instant.
"King of Corpses?" The young man was pulled behind by the bald man to protect him before he could finish his doubtful words.
Others quickly loaded their guns.
Bullets and roars intertwined, and the woods echoed.
Everyone listened with bated breath. After five or six minutes, the movement stopped.
In the silence, everyone looked at the bald head, waiting for him to make up his mind.
There are only about ten of them in total. If they really encounter the Corpse King, they will definitely die if they are provoked.
"You guys are right here, I'm going to take a look." Ji Yan quickly walked forward as he spoke.
The God of Death and Xiang Yang had an agreement that the Corpse King of the God of Death would not attack Xiang Yang's humans.
The bald man tried to stop Ji Yanqing but it was too late. Ji Yanqing had already run forward a long distance.
The bald man gritted his teeth and chose to follow, "Go and have a look."
A group of people ran quickly towards the mountain.
●Extra● (4/6)
When the bald men found Ji Yanqing, Ji Yanqing was squatting on top of the mountain and looking towards the foot of the mountain.
The mountain range at their feet was not high. It was originally just a hillside. The trees in the mountain mutated to form the mountain range.
At the other end of the mountain range, a beast-shaped corpse king fell to the ground, with two large corroded holes on his belly and neck.
The corpse of the Corpse King was surrounded by about a dozen cars, in which a group of people wearing various masks were getting off.
Some of them searched the corpse king's body, and within two minutes they found a piece of iron as big as an adult's palm.
The iron block is an irregular oval, with teeth marks on the edge, as if it was used by some zombie king to grind his teeth. The center of the iron block has the symbol of the God of Death printed on one side and a strange square pattern on the other. Pattern.
"It's the nameplate of the Corpse King." The bald head was surprised.
The young man looked doubtfully.
"After the corpse kings from various places pass the audition competition, the final winner will get such a nameplate. Only the corpse kings carrying the nameplate can participate in the zombie king finals in Devil City."
"Then they are..." The young man looked in surprise.
Ji Yan frowned slightly. There had always been incidents of corpse kings snatching nameplates outside the arena. After all, it was far easier to kill the winner and snatch the nameplate than to fight hundreds of battles to win the final victory.
He and Feng Yimo had thought of many ways before, but they had been unable to put an end to it.
"I can understand that zombie kings are robbing each other of famous brands. Why are humans robbing each other of those things?" The young man was puzzled.
"I heard that some corpse kings would trade with humans." Bald Head said, "Those shameless guys were originally dedicated to doing despicable things, but now they join forces with the corpse kings, I don't know what they are planning."
"A group of garbage."
"Remnants."
The young man looked down.
He had heard about the faceless ghosts. They concealed their identities and specially attacked other exploration teams when they were returning with supplies, killing people and then stealing the supplies.
There is no man's land everywhere after leaving Xiangyang, and the other party has always hidden their identity very well. Countless people in the exploration team are angry at them but there is nothing they can do.
"Let me tell you, the first generation of them are all gone, otherwise..." Bald Head snorted coldly.
This time the young man did not refute.
He was born too late, and almost all of the first generation had passed away when he was born, so he had never seen any of the first generation. However, he had heard about the heroic deeds of the first generation since he was a child and could even recite them backwards. .
"If they were still here, they would have dealt with these turtles long ago." Someone nearby said angrily.
"If they were still here, you would be scared to wet your pants if you think these people still dare to do this."
"Ah……"
Speaking of this, the bald man couldn't help but sigh, "If you ask me, one generation is not as good as the other."
The young man had a flat mouth.
"You can't say that. Those who couldn't do it in that kind of environment would have died long ago. Those who survived were all capable." The young man was silent, but someone next to him spoke.
The bald man had nothing to say.
"I like the Gunslinger the most among the first generation." The young man said suddenly, "One shot kills a corpse king. It hits the target with 100% accuracy. It's so cool."
Everyone looked towards him.
"She is quite powerful. I guess we won't be able to find another one in three generations." Baldhead said.
"That's necessary, otherwise can he be called the Gunslinger?" The young man's tail almost rose to the sky.
The bald man rolled his eyes at him angrily. He was not the one who was so powerful.
"I still prefer Team White. Most of the things in Xiangyang City were built by him. He built the automatic oil and carbon circulation system. It can provide electricity and hot water. If you live in Xiangyang City, you can have unlimited points if you have enough points. Use electricity and hot water as much as possible.”
"And that defense system, even the four-evolved beast-shaped zombie king will have to carry it around without being able to eat it."
"Li Pingsen is also very powerful. You can't even count how many good things he has brought back over the past few decades. Even the oil and carbon were discovered and brought back by him. If there was no oil and carbon, the white team's automatic circulation system would It’s just trash.”
"Then what's the use of bringing him back without the white team? Is it just a decoration?"
"I can't say things like that..."
"Okay, stop arguing." Seeing that several people were about to start a quarrel, the bald man quickly interrupted, "Team Mo, Team Black, Team Yellow, Team Qin, as long as you can name the first generation. Which one is not awesome?"
Everyone was silent, convinced by this.
Most of the people in their team are second generation. Compared to the third generation teenagers, most of them have seen those legendary figures in their childhood.
After so many years, their memories may have been blurred, but the changes in their lives over the past few decades are still fresh in their minds.
From a desolate world filled with unknown dangers to today's Xiangyang City, which never sleeps, all of them have seen these changes, and all of this took less than a hundred years.
There was silence in the woods, which touched everyone's hearts.
Everything they have now comes from the construction of the first generation. It is precisely because they know how hard-won everything they have now is that they have more respect and curiosity for the talents of the first generation.
At the bottom of the mountain range, the group of faceless ghosts did not leave immediately after finding what they were looking for. Instead, they began to dismember the corpse of the corpse king.
The corpse king's flesh and blood are highly poisonous and cannot be eaten, but their skin and bones are of great use and can be used to make various weapons. They are much stronger than steel and can be sold at high prices in the market.
Smelling the smell of blood in the air, everyone in the mountains frowned.
"If you ask me, God Xia is still more powerful." Someone muttered.
Speaking of Xia Chenshu, the group of people who were eager to argue just now had complicated expressions.
"I heard that he just stabbed two corpse kings' nests some time ago..."
Ji Yan looked over lightly, "What?"
"You don't know?" Ji Yanqing quickly said before he could question the man in detail: "It seems that there are two corpse king forces in the west that have been conflicting. God Xia somehow got into them. One, three and five are here. The forces were prepared, and 246 went there to help, and within half a month the two sides started fighting, and then he took advantage of the fierce fighting between the corpse kings and stole the skulls of the previous kings on both sides."
The bald head said: "Now the corpse kings of those two forces are looking for him everywhere, and the news has spread among the exploration team."
Ji Yan choked slightly and his expression suddenly became very exciting. This was indeed something Xia Chenshu could do.
But why would he go and steal someone's skull?
Ji Yan rubbed the bridge of his nose with a slight headache.
Ji Yanqing didn't want to worry about Xia Chenshu anymore, so he changed the subject, "Where is Ji Yanqing?"
●Extra● (5/6)
He had listened to the first generation that Bald and the others had talked about for a long time. Everyone he knew was mentioned, but he was not mentioned.
Ji Yanqing didn't care what others thought of him, but he was inevitably curious.
As soon as he finished speaking, the bald group of people all looked at him without exception. Their eyes were complicated, as if they were looking at a fool.
"What?" Ji Yanqing didn't know where he had offended the public.
"As for the season team..."
"This is no longer a matter of whether you like it or not."
"Xiangyang exists because of him."
The bald man's face was filled with rare seriousness, "There is probably no one alive today who would disrespect him in their hearts. Even speaking of him is a kind of blasphemy."
"Do you know what my grandfather said? He said that it took Xiangyang decades to complete a journey of two to three hundred years. He said that if there was no season team, we might not even know where to survive now, let alone What about the battle between Xiangyang City and the Corpse King?"
"And the second-generation captain Tong Yue."
"And those who later died on the way to explore."
Ji Yanqing didn't expect that he would receive such a high evaluation, and his heart became sour and heavy.
He left ten years after the county gradually entered stability.
&.
During those ten years, he and Xia Chenshu continued to complete the construction of the county town, turning Xiangyang into what it is today little by little. They continued to go out to explore, and found some energy substitutes after countless people died.
The most difficult thing was that after their life entered a stable second year, the gasoline was exhausted, the car could no longer be used, the power generation stopped, and the solar power generation could not even keep up with Lu Qing's energy supply.
They had long expected that such a day would come, but when that day came, they discovered that such a day would be far more torturous than they expected.
They had to give up using cars and move on foot. This alone made it difficult for them to go out and explore.
At the worst time, thousands of them went out for more than two months and brought back only a few mutated vegetables. Their food even required supplies from the county.
During that time, it was not that there were no complaints in the county. On the contrary, the voices were very loud. Countless people felt that they should not go out at all, as it was a waste of time and food.
Those who stayed behind in the county were dissatisfied, and those who risked their lives to go out felt even worse.
During that time, the entire county was depressed.
It took them three full years, and it was not until the fifth year that they finally found oil carbon that could produce a large amount of heat energy for power generation that they finally came out of that depression.
Looking back now, Ji Yanqing didn't know how they survived in the first place.
Regarding that period, there was only darkness and countless complaints and pain in his mind.
"It is said that Captain Ji is not dead yet, and he is in Devil City." The young man said.
"Who did you listen to?" Baldhead looked.
"That's what they all say."
"Fart." The bald man said bluntly.
"But my sister said that many first-generation people said that. They said that Team Ji just left the county and went to Devil City. They said that he was still alive and that there were still people who had seen him." The boy insisted.
"Then why doesn't he come back? Xiangyang is his home. If he is really still alive, why hasn't he come home in these decades?"
"He..." The young man was anxious, but speechless.
"Stop listening to their nonsense." Baldhead said.
"but……"
Ji Yan lowered his eyes slightly to hide the warmth in his eyes.
He chose to leave five years after they found Oil Carbon. At that time, the county had passed its biggest difficulty, they had found many substitutes, and their days were prosperous.
Over the course of ten years, the differences between him and others gradually emerged.
Uncle Wang and the others are getting older and their hair is graying, while Lan Zi and the others are also leaving traces of time on their bodies, and their faces are more tired and calm.
Only he has remained unchanged for ten years.
After gradually realizing this, an undercurrent surged in the quiet county town, and countless people were secretly discussing it behind their backs.
When Ji Yanqing noticed this, he knew it was time for him to leave.
He secretly found Tong Yue, Xia Chenshu and the others. He handed over the position of Captain Xiangyang to Tong Yue, and he said goodbye to Xia Chenshu and the others one by one.
They all tried their best to keep him, but they didn't mind, and neither did the people in the county. Most people had already guessed this in the past ten years.
He was very grateful, but still chose to refuse. It would be ridiculous for a corpse king to be the director of a human paradise. Moreover, he owed Feng Yimo, Ji An, and Ji Le too much along the way, and it was time to make up for it.
On the day he left, he didn't disturb anyone. He secretly took Feng Yimo, Ji An, and Ji Le out before dawn.
The place where they lived was not far from the gate of the county seat. He walked for a long time on that short journey, but no matter how slow he was, he still finished it.
When leaving the county seat, he couldn't help but look back.
He still remembers the scene he saw at that glance.
Under the weak morning light, in the quiet county town, all 20,000 to 30,000 people in the entire county, without exception, stood at the door. They all looked at him quietly and bid him farewell silently.
Xia Chenshu and the others did not lie to him. Most people had already guessed his identity as the Corpse King. They might have been surprised, but they all chose to accept him. They recognized him as the captain.
Ji Yanqing no longer remembers how he left, but that scene has always been deeply engraved in his mind.
As his thoughts drifted back, Ji Yanqing did not listen to the argument between the bald people next to him. He concentrated on observing the group of faceless ghosts below.
They had already dissected the corpse king, and they ignored the minced meat, internal organs, and blood all over the floor. They were removing the bones.
It was obviously not the first time they had done this, and their movements were quite skillful.
The whole process lasted only more than ten minutes. After cleaning the bones from the bones, a group of people quickly drove over to an empty truck and loaded all the bones into the truck.
After loading the things, the car immediately headed towards the side of the mountain.
Ji Yanqing stood up and said, "I'll go take a look."
"Together." Baldhead followed.
Ji Yan looked at it lightly and found that he had never come into contact with the faceless ghost, but he also knew what kind of existence the other party was. Provoking those people would be of no benefit to a small exploration team like Baldhead and his group.
●Extra● (6/6)
"Many people in Xiangyang are looking for them." The bald head understood what Ji Yanqing meant, "The reward is not low."
Ji Yanqing stopped stopping and quickly followed the group in front.
The God of Death has a clear rule that does not allow someone to steal other people's brand names to participate in the competition. Once found, he will be severely punished immediately. He wants to see who dares to do this.
The car moved forward quickly, and Ji Yanqing ran quickly in the woods.
The bald group of people had long been accustomed to life in the wild, and their speed was far slower than Ji Yanqing's, but they were not left too far behind.
After getting off the mountain, the car quickly circled the foot of the mountain in front and headed towards the right side of the mountain.
Ji Yanqing immediately changed his path and wanted to climb directly over the entire mountain.
A group of bald people followed quickly.
When they crossed the mountains again ten minutes later, the convoy was heading forward along the mountains they were on.
"There's an abandoned city over there, not far away." The bald man who caught up said breathlessly.
Ji Yan thought for a moment and quickly came up with an idea, "Drive and chase."
Baldhead quickly took a few people out of the car to find their car hidden in the mountains.
When everyone got in the car and started the car, the opponent's convoy had already reached the horizon, leaving only a small row of black spots.
"Don't get too close." Ji Yan reminded lightly.
The bald man understood clearly, controlled the speed of the car, and followed the other party from a distance.
There are bushes and overgrown woods everywhere in the wilderness, which makes it easy to hide. The only problem is that the ground is uneven and uncomfortable.
Half an hour later, when the convoy ahead stopped in front of the abandoned city, Ji Yanqing, who had not been in a car for a long time, felt that all the bones in his body were about to fall apart.
The bald group of people had long been accustomed to it. As soon as the car was hidden in the woods, a group of people immediately got out of the car and looked for dead branches and leaves to hide the car.
Ji Yanqing took this opportunity to walk to the edge of the woods and look at the ruined city in the distance.
A hundred years have passed, and the city ahead has long lost the coldness it had when the virus first broke out. It has been replaced by dense growth of mutated plants, various moss, and trees.
The mutated weeds and moss are so tenacious that they have not even been spared on building walls, and they have enveloped the entire city.
The two completely different atmospheres of greenery and lifelessness merge to form a distinct and weird scene.
The group of faceless ghosts should be changing their clothes in the city in front, where they have their temporary hideout.
After the convoy entered the city, many people immediately surrounded it.
The distance between the two sides was too far, and Ji Yanqing could not hear clearly what those people were saying, but he could tell that they were not a group of people.
"You guys just wait for me here." Ji Yan said lightly and walked towards the right side of the woods.
After hundreds of years of barbaric growth, the forest they were in had grown into the city.
Ten minutes later, Ji Yanqing entered the city from the woods.
The city ground is covered with lush and thick grass, which is soft and comfortable when your feet step on it, and also hides the sound of footsteps.
Most of the ordinary zombies in the city have awakened or been eaten by other awakened zombies and zombie kings. Now the whole city is empty.
Ji Yan walked through the building lightly and headed towards the direction of the group of faceless ghosts.
A few minutes later, Ji Yanqing saw a figure in the gap between the buildings ahead.
The group of people who had snatched the nameplate entered a room with their things, and several people who should be the captain followed immediately.
Upon entering, everyone looked at the nameplate.
A group of people did not take off their masks, and they obviously did not share their identities.
One of the men wearing a fox mask reached out and tried to get the nameplate.
The man in the bear mask holding the nameplate immediately ducked away, "What are you doing?"
"See what's going on?" The man in the fox mask who was dodged disagreed.
"Then use your eyes to see." The bear mask man said.
Fox Mask shrugged.
Seeing that the bear mask man was not prepared to be touched by others, others stopped reaching out but did not move their eyes away.
That nameplate obviously has other important meanings to them, and there should be a competitive relationship between them.
"We have already obtained the things. All we need to do next is to hand them over to him." The bear-masked man said, "Do you know where he is?"
"I just said we would meet here on the 20th."
Ji Yanqing was quietly listening to the words in the corridor on the second floor of a building next to him, when suddenly a few more figures appeared next to him.
His muscles tensed, and when he looked back, he saw a group of people with bald heads.
Ji Yan raised his eyebrows lightly. Baldhead and the others were very courageous. Don't they know that if they were discovered, the other party would definitely kill them?
If the other party's concealment of their identity as a faceless ghost was revealed, there would be no good consequences. In order to conceal their identity, they would definitely not hesitate to take action.
At this moment, the bald men took out a few pieces of cloth from nowhere and tied them behind their ears, covering their noses downwards.
Ji Yanqing looked at the reflective top of the bald head's head, and then at the piece of cloth on his face. For a moment, he even wanted to ask the bald head if his surname was Hei, and if his grandfather's name was Heilong.
Cursing in her heart, Ji Yanqing once again focused her attention on the people in the room in front of her.
"When the time comes, move more slowly. If something happens, no one will save you." The bear mask man said.
"Do you still need to be rescued?" The fox man reminded slowly, "That's a devil's city there. There are corpse kings everywhere around Feng. If he is really caught, he will definitely die. There is no need to save him at all."
Ji Yan frowned slightly, Feng Yimo?
"It's good to know." The bear mask man said.
"But let me tell you, there is no need for us to go to such trouble. Isn't that Feng Yi a roadie? Just find a way to trick him out of the Devil City. As long as no one is looking for him, he will never come back within three to five years. "The fox man smiled.
"Do you believe that ridiculous rumor? The majestic King of Corpses is a road idiot. Are you kidding me?" said the bear masked man.
Ji Yanqing's mouth twitched, and he felt complicated for a moment.
No, Feng Yimo is really a road idiot.
If he wanted to deal with Feng Yimo, he felt that the fox man's method was the most feasible. If no one came to find him, he would be great if he came back in three to five years.
And if he guessed correctly, the person under the fox mask should be Xia Chenshu, who had just stolen someone's skull and was hunted all over the world.
Xia Chenshu wants to kill Feng Yimo?
