The intelligence of the third-level zombies has evolved to a certain level. It actually found that they wear bells on the winter solstice. As long as they are close to a certain range, they will ring. Therefore, it is not far or near them from the winter solstice, just outside the safe range for the bells to ring. .
Night is the time when people's alertness is the lowest, and it is also the best time for zombies to attack, so even if he was talking to Yoshida on the winter solstice just now, he didn't dare to relax his vigilance. Sure enough, when he turned his head inadvertently, he vaguely saw a pair of eyes in the dark. A flash of fire flashed, although it was only a second or two, but it was enough for people to confirm their identity.
The winter solstice doesn't want to disturb it, otherwise the other party's vigilance will be stronger next time, and it will be more difficult to catch, but if all of them gather here, zombies will not appear easily, they will only wait for the opportunity for them to be single, and then add sneak attack.
The opponent does not eat or drink, and it is impossible to guard against it. Instead of passively fighting, it is better to take the initiative.
He whispered to Yoshida: "You don't move, I'll go to the toilet on an excuse, and then pull it away, you wake up the others."
Yoshida was so nervous that he didn't dare to move, he only dared to make a hum from his nose, which was barely audible.
The winter solstice got up and walked in the opposite direction where the zombies were lurking.
He left the bonfire, walked a distance, suddenly heard a rustling sound behind him, subconsciously turned around and swung his sword, a black shadow suddenly rushed, but disappeared instantly, the long guard sword swept away, and the winter solstice couldn't help but be stunned.
Another black shadow swept over from behind, a chill was aroused on the neck, and goose bumps appeared. The winter solstice stabbed the sword backhand, but it was still empty.
He seems to be fighting against the air. The enemy is not a zombie that is extremely hungry for flesh and blood, but an invisible person who cannot be seen or touched.
Could it be an invisible third-level zombie
Probably not, because the bell didn't ring twice.
His heart moved, and he suddenly turned his head and ran towards the fire when he came!
The bonfire was still burning, and the flames merged violently with the firewood, making crackling sounds from time to time.
But his comrades, Liu Qingbo, Liu Si, Zhang Song and others, and Yoshida Noriko, all fell to the ground in a mess, and the blood snaked out from under them and slowly flowed to his feet.
The Winter Solstice is unbelievable: "Old Liu! Liu Si!"
He paused at his feet and then turned to Liu Qingbo.
At this moment, danger was quietly approaching from behind him.
Ever since he came to the exchange conference and saw the winter solstice, Eguchi has always wanted to kill the winter solstice.
He may not be the most powerful disciple of Aoi Fujikawa, but he is definitely the most loyal and fanatical, and even changed his original name to a female name just to imitate his teacher.
When Fujikawa Aoi was exchanged back to Japan, although he finally saved his life, he was also seriously injured. Eguchi knew very well that with his own abilities, even if he added ten more of himself, he would not be able to kill Long Shen and other senior officials of the Special Administration Bureau, but the exchange conference was different. A newcomer who has time to become famous, even if he can kill one or two, can be regarded as avenging his master.
So he found Watanabe and took the initiative to sign up to participate. Watanabe was originally worried about the small number of people. Seeing Fujikawa Aoi's disciples taking the initiative to come, he was naturally overjoyed and hurriedly added him. When the group came to the United States and saw other teams, Eguchi learned that it turned out that Long Shen's disciple, the Winter Solstice, also participated in the conference.
In this way, it is more in line with Eguchi's original intention. He directly narrowed the target from all the Chinese to one person on the Winter Solstice. Fortunately, the two sides drew lots to the same island again, which provided the right time and place for Eguchi to commit the crime.
Eguchi knew that direct action would not work, and Watanabe would definitely stop him, but it would be much more convenient if he found a chance to sneak attack by himself.
On the ship that came to the archipelago, he originally wanted to do it, but the winter solstice kept hiding in the room and did not come out. The urge to push the opponent into the sea, but someone stopped him.
a Russian.
The other party claimed to have a deep hatred with the Winter Solstice, and gave him one thing, saying that this thing is enough for Jiangkou to protect himself on the island, and told Jiangkou that the ship cannot kill the Winter Solstice, and when he goes to the island, Jiangkou can have more. Chances are, the winter solstice, and even all the Chinese people, will be killed without knowing it.
Eguchi was skeptical, but the thing the Russians gave him did allow him to survive in the forest where zombies roamed.
He saw Yoshida Noriko, a woman who was hanging out with the Chinese in a blink of an eye, chatting and laughing, without the slightest shame, Eguchi gritted his teeth, secretly swearing that he would take care of Yoshida when he took care of the Chinese.
But along the way, the Winter Solstice people were always alert. Not only did they seldom act alone, but even the waves of zombies were not their opponents. Eguchi finally used the zombies to lure the opponent out and lure him directly into the enchantment. Let him fall into the illusion and cannot extricate himself, and then take the opportunity to start.
At this time, the other party was kneeling on the ground, shouting the name of his companion, while Eguchi was holding a short blade, and he approached quietly and quickly. Putting the opponent to death completely, Eguchi unknowingly raised a bloodthirsty smile in the dark.
He's going to kill this bastard and avenge the teacher!
But at this moment, Dongzhi suddenly turned around and looked straight at Eguchi!
Eguchi was surprised.
However, he was castrated very fast, and he was out of power at this time, so he could only continue to slam into the winter solstice. Light.
Eguchi was shocked by the suffocating suffocation. Not only did his short blade fail to stab the opponent, but there was a severe pain in his shoulder. Eguchi missed a hit and quickly slanted to the side, but the winter solstice seemed to have expected his move. , Jianguang came and went in a few vertical and horizontal directions, actually blocking all the escape routes of Jiangkou.
Eguchi turned and ran away without saying a word. He took out a piece of white paper from his pocket, pinched it between his two fingers, and threw it back.
The fluffy piece of paper, when it landed, turned into a samurai with a sword, and the other party shouted and rushed to the winter solstice with a sword.
"You worked so hard to lead me out, and you set up an enchantment to trap me, is that just a trick?" Dongzhi smiled brightly, raising his sword to hold off the samurai's offensive.
Although the samurai is fierce, the number of paths is limited, and the winter solstice soon finds out the details. This shikigami is much inferior to the one I encountered before. Not to mention Eguchi, it is not as good as Fujikawa Aoi, and it may not be as good as the first disciple Fujikawa Aoi brought out. Beiike painted.
"You are Fujikawa's worst student, aren't you? I've never seen such a bad onmyoji teacher as you. Why don't you just change your career and become a fitness instructor. With your three-legged cat kung fu, you can still teach ordinary people!"
During the winter solstice, while fighting with the samurai shikigami, there is still time to ridicule Eguchi.
Eguchi didn't speak Chinese, but he could understand a little bit, but it was useless. He cursed back in Japanese, but the winter solstice didn't change his face, and he didn't understand, which made Eguchi extremely embarrassed.
He couldn't help taking out of his pocket what the Russian had given him.
A small box the size of a palm.
With this box on him, Eguchi would be safe even if he was alone in the forest, because the zombies automatically retreated and turned a blind eye to him. He wanted to open the box several times to see what was in the box. , but every time his finger was pressed on the lock of the box, the words of the Russian named Anton would echo in his ears.
The opponent said: Turn it on when you are closest to your enemy.
Eguchi pressed his hand on the box. He was breathing rapidly. Seeing that his shikigami was cut in half by a sword from the Winter Solstice, his figure instantly changed back to a fluffy paper figure. Eguchi no longer hesitated, and turned the box toward the Winter Solstice. Press the switch.
The box was originally light, and the weight didn't change after opening it. Eguchi's eyes widened. There was no ferocious giant that he imagined jumping out of the box to kill the enemy, and there was no monster or anything.
But the winter solstice saw it. He saw a group of black weapons floating out of the box, and immediately opened back, a sword light washed away, and the black gas was bounced into Jiangkou's hand holding the box, and soon disappeared.
Eguchi's face changed, and he cursed.
But the winter solstice did not give him any time to escape or counterattack. With a stroke of the Changshou sword, the sword light turned into starlight, and the starry rain shone down and swept toward the enemy overwhelmingly.
In this ten-thousandth of a second, even if Eguchi suddenly grows wings or learns to escape, he probably won't have time to escape.
But instead of running away, the other party sneered and rushed towards the winter solstice.
The moment the Changshou sword pierced into Eguchi's body, a black mist rose up around Eguchi, and even Eguchi's face was twisted.
The Long Shoujian, which had already submerged half of the opponent's body, suddenly encountered an obstacle and could no longer advance half a point.
Eguchi grabbed the body of the sword with one hand, and he didn't care that his hand was cut with blood.
The winter solstice gritted his teeth, suddenly abandoned the long guard sword, quickly took a few steps back, and took out the Mingguang Talisman from his pocket.
The curse kicked off the talisman, and the talisman hit Eguchi's hand, but was grabbed by the opponent's five fingers and smashed into the palm of his hand.
Winter Solstice did not hesitate, and took out three talismans one after another and threw them.
The three fire talismans swept away in the upper, middle and lower directions. When Jiangkou stretched out his hand to block, Dongzhi stepped forward to draw out the Changshou sword, but was grabbed by Jiangkou as his chest, and the down jacket on his body was immediately scratched. It was as big as five iron whips swept across the Winter Solstice's chest, almost breaking his sternum.
Rao is so, the winter solstice also stumbled a few times, hit the tree trunk next to it, a hot pain rose from his chest, he didn't have to look down to know that the skin must be bleeding, maybe even bruised.
The opponent suddenly became incomparably powerful, it was like being reborn. Winter Solstice would never believe that this was Eguchi's true ability, because if the opponent was really that powerful, he wouldn't have to choose sneak attack.
All the changes stemmed from the box just now.
The winter solstice flashed, and a terrible conjecture emerged in my mind.
"... Popeye?" He couldn't help but probe.
Eguchi gave him a charming smile.
If such a smile from a handsome man like Popeye is creepy, Eguchi's smile is even more creepy.
The black energy around the other party became more and more intense, almost blending with the darkness. He didn't speak, and slowly walked towards the Winter Solstice.
"Your body is much better than his, and it suits me better." Eguchi said word by word, in English, but the tone of the pause was exactly the same as that of the demon of the day.
As soon as this statement came out, the Winter Solstice was already certain that the other party was Bobei Ye, who escaped from Xianda Village with a wisp of demonic energy.
At that time, Popeye was the phantom clone of the demon, and the winter solstice could only be pressed and beaten. Now, Popeye is not even a clone. It's just a ray of magic that the clone is unwilling to die, hiding in the dark to raise its essence Xu Rui wants to make waves again, but he doesn't believe that he can't beat it this time.
"Then see if you have the ability to take it!" Dongzhi laughed loudly, and the Changshou sword twisted into the sky, covering Eguchi's whole person and the black energy around him.
But Eguchi didn't look at the dazzling sword light, he just stretched out his hand flatly, grabbed the Changshou sword accurately from the thousands of sword lights, and twisted his backhand.
The Changshou Sword was twisted into a bunch of twists under the tremendous force, but it never cracked and broke, instead it shone slightly in the darkness, just like its owner, the more he suffered, the more he would not give in.
The power of the enemy was continuously transmitted through the Changshou sword. If it hadn't been for the Winter Solstice to grit his teeth and insist on fighting with the Heavenly Gang, he would have been eroded by the demonic energy of the opponent now.
After the battle of Xianda Village, Dongzhi also learned a little about the demons. The other party has the ultimate skin appearance that is enough to charm the world, and he also loves all beauty, including beautiful appearance and well-proportioned body. When he was in Xianda Village, Tianmo wanted to use his body as a host, but he didn't expect that there was only a trace of demonic energy left in Tianmo. The nature of liking beautiful skin has not changed. Compared with Eguchi's mediocrity, it is natural It is the winter solstice that is more attractive to the demons.
Seeing that the winter solstice was retreating step by step, while Jiangkou was advancing step by step, until the winter solstice reached the tree trunk behind him, there was no way to retreat, the black mist was getting closer and closer, and most of the company's long guard sword had been immersed in the black air. Raised one hand, slowly stretched to the winter solstice forehead.
The black air lingered on his fingers, surging endlessly, suddenly like an evil dragon that devoured people, and suddenly like a flaming black flame, quietly coming from the unfathomable depths of the abyss and hell, with boundless darkness, eagerness Swallow the prey and turn the whole world into another hell.
"A weak and weak mortal, why should you continue to struggle in vain?" Eguchi sneered, "Give me your body and memory completely, and I will make you stand above all mortals and make you stand in the world peak!"
"You have been destroyed by someone, and you are still thinking about the peak, go back to hell!" The winter solstice gritted his teeth, and his hand that had been clenched into a fist suddenly loosened, and a fire of talisman flew from his hand and quickly rushed to the top of his head. , and at this time there was also a loud bang in the sky, and a dazzling light cut through the fog and illuminated most of the forest.
At that moment, the entire Diana Island shook.
Scattered living creatures wandering in the dark forest shivered under the power of heaven, towering trees on the verge of death trembled with stubborn branches and fallen leaves on their bodies, and unknown shadows hiding under the trees fled in a hurry, even the unknowing ones. The zombies involuntarily wailed from the depths of their throats, knelt down on their knees, and curled their entire bodies into a ball, as if they were performing some kind of mysterious ritual.
The barrier laid by Eguchi was completely shattered by Tianlei, the truth was connected again, and the falsehood would eventually be destroyed.
After being cut off outside the barrier, Liu Qingbo and the others, who had just fought a fierce battle with zombies, finally saw the figure of the Winter Solstice.
"Winter Solstice!" Liu Qingbo didn't realize that his voice had a hint of high-pitchedness.
After the winter solstice left just now, before Yoshida could wake up the others, the zombies suddenly appeared and rushed towards Yoshida, who seemed to be the weakest. Like all hunters at the top of the food chain, when he felt threatened, he couldn't wait to think. To drag away the prey that is about to arrive, go to a safe place to enjoy it slowly, the zombies have lost the wisdom of human beings, and the instinct to crave flesh and blood is naturally no exception.
But at this time, Liu Qingbo and others had been awakened, and they then started besieging the zombies.
Originally, even if the third-level zombies were powerful, it was more than enough for a few people to deal with one, but I don’t know what happened, as if all the zombies in the forest were suddenly attracted, three third-level zombies and four second-level zombies appeared all at once. , the pressure of everyone doubled in an instant, and a fierce battle of life and death was inevitable.
After all the zombies were wiped out, everyone discovered that the Winter Solstice never showed up. That is to say, after he told Yoshida to lure away the zombies, he disappeared completely.
It stands to reason that the other party can never be too far away. There is such a big movement here, and he should have come back long ago, but everyone searched the surrounding area and found that the winter solstice was like the evaporation of the world, leaving no trace.
No one thought he would leave the team and run away, and everyone had a faint feeling that the other party might be in a bigger crisis.
Inevitably, everyone even anticipated the possibility of encountering unexpected events during the winter solstice.
As long as he thought of this possibility, Li Han'er found that a trace of panic would float in his heart.
This kind of emotion has not appeared in her for a long time. She grew up practicing in a famous school and grew up. She is talented and intelligent, not much inferior to her elder brother Li Ying. After joining the Special Administration Bureau, she has also experienced a lot of things. More profoundly, this time, the winter solstice was appointed as the head of the regiment. At first, she could only understand that the superior wanted to train new people, and did not think that she was not qualified to be the regiment leader.
But along the way, unknowingly, the winter solstice has become the cornerstone of stability in everyone's heart. In this endless dark forest, with his companions by his side, Li Haner is not afraid, but he is more or less disgusted. However, with the winter solstice, such negative emotions seem to be able to be reduced to the lowest point. Everyone seems to be forever Able to maintain an easy pace.
Li Haner knew that Yoshida envied their harmonious atmosphere, but Li Haner knew that most of this atmosphere stemmed from the winter solstice. His existence maintained a delicate balance between everyone. Without him, this balance point would be lost. Being broken, with the tempers of Liu Qingbo and Zhang Song, the two will definitely fight, and Yang Shouyi, she or Liu Si, have no ability or the will to subdue these two, the result is only It could be that the entire team is torn apart, completely ending their trip this time.
When the barrier was broken and everyone saw the winter solstice again, Li Han'er couldn't describe her mood at that time. Liu Qingbo's excited shout appropriately expressed everyone's mood, including hers.
At that moment, her heart almost jumped out of her chest, and it took a few deep breaths to slowly calm down.
Everyone rushed over.
The thunder struck, and Jiangkou was covered in it. During the winter solstice, he pushed the Changshou sword forward, and the turbulent energy wrapped around the edge of the sword. The slight vibration could almost be ignored in the sound of thunder, but the light on the sword became more and more intense. , and finally merged with Leiguang.
A roar erupted from Eguchi, but under the rolling thunder, the roar finally turned into a whimper, and the black gas completely turned into powder, like a little bit of starlight, and the thunderous aftertaste dissipated into the night, no longer the gloomy and terrifying before.
At the same time as the black qi dissipated, Jiangkou's body shook slightly, and then softened. The winter solstice kicked him away, and the other side stumbled backwards, ending his short life by bleeding from the seven holes and dying.
Liu Qingbo and others rushed over: "Are you alright!"
The winter solstice was too exhausting just now, and now I don't have the strength to speak, just shake my head.
Zhang Song and Yang Shou searched around and quickly found the box where Eguchi had just released the demonic energy.
"What happened just now, we encountered a large wave of zombies, all caused by this guy?"
The winter solstice took the water that Li Han'er handed over, took a sip, and finally recovered.
"It should be, Eguchi didn't know where the magic energy came from, and it was hidden in this box. He originally wanted to use the magic energy to deal with me, but who knew that Tianmo persimmon picked up a soft pinch and attached him first, and the result was together. I got it cleaned up."
Yoshida came over and looked at the empty box carefully. After a while, he shook his head and said, "This is not something from the Onmyoji, and it doesn't look like the one in the shrine."
Li Han'er: "The patterns on it are complicated and have a European feel."
The Winter Solstice said: "If someone gave it to him, it means that the demonic energy has probably not been completely eliminated. The demon is inherently fickle and can be divided into many clones. Maybe the person who gave him the box is in the team this time. "
Everyone looked at each other, and finally their eyes fell on Yoshida.
Yoshida couldn't help but take two steps back and said quickly, "It's not me, I'm normal!"
Li Han'er also said: "It's not Yoshida. The bell is very sensitive to all abnormal monsters and zombies. If it doesn't ring, it means it's not."
Winter Solstice said: "Everyone stayed in the hotel for several days and came here together. It is entirely possible for Jiangkou to come into contact with anyone. The scope is too large."
After killing the zombies, Liu Qingbo's face didn't look good. He told the Winter Solstice: "When we were killing those zombies, we found that one of the third-level zombies would not only hide its figure, but also showed some strength. Evolves, and, moreover, it uses tools."
Winter Solstice's face also became solemn: "Use tools?"
Liu Qingbo nodded: "The other party has a samurai sword in his hand, and he will attack us with the sword. The sword should have been left by Watanabe or another person before."
Although zombies were human before they were alive, after they died, their souls that belonged to humans have disappeared, and they have become low-level creatures that can only live on flesh and blood. There have been zombies with initial intelligence in the zombie simulation system before, but that It was a simulation after all, but now it is real.
The biggest difference between humans and animals is that humans use tools.
If there is a zombie in the world, it not only has a powerful attack power, but also has a wisdom that is not inferior to human beings, and even covets human beings, what will be the consequences
Even if it is far away from the real world, it is chilling.
Liu Sidao: "The Americans are really dying to develop this kind of monster, don't you think the world is not chaotic enough!"
Winter Solstice: "Humans always think they can control everything."
Humans are at the top of the food chain, with a sense of superiority over all living beings. This sense of superiority motivates them to continue to explore, but it is also a double-edged sword.
"We should have killed everyone here. When we meet the Yankees, we must ask them carefully. We must not let such creatures continue to flood. Who knows how they will evolve!" Liu Qingbo said.
Solstice nodded.
Liu Si stretched out his hand to help him, and Dongzhi got up with the help of his strength and patted the dust on his body.
"Are you all okay?"
Everyone was more or less injured. If you switch to another team, you may be worried about the risk of contracting corpse poison. However, Maoshan and Longhushan have been professionals in catching zombies since ancient times. The drugs that Li Haner and Zhang Song carry with them are enough to solve the problem. These hidden dangers, not to mention the various medicinal herbs that came from the Special Administration Bureau on the Winter Solstice.
At the moment, he gave everyone a piece of Shangqing Dan.
"Come and come, treat the disease when you are sick, and strengthen your body when you are not sick. Anyway, you have to turn it over when you go back. Don't waste it. If you don't eat it, you won't eat it for nothing!"
The author has something to say: In the next chapter, we will enter the Japanese battlefield. The events on both sides are going on at the same time, and Master and Wu Bureau are also very important.
Small theater unrelated to the text:
After the game, Song Zhicun called everyone together.
Song Zhicun: Please describe your team leader's performance in this competition.
Liu Qingbo: Due diligence, brought a lot of things...
Liu Si: Due diligence, I have brought what I should bring.
Zhang Song: Do your due diligence, and bring what you shouldn't.
Song Zhicun: Any more
Zhang Song: He gave us all the medicinal pills issued by the bureau, giving us a chance to make up for it, so don’t waste it.
Song Zhicun: (Roaring with heartache) One hundred thousand Yuan Qing Dan! ! Winter Solstice, you little boy!
