"Is this the battle of high-level Purple Moon warriors?" Tang Ling thought as he numbly stuffed beast meat into his mouth.
As he began to gradually recover, a lingering sadness arose in his heart. He had to think of something else to distract himself.
Su Xiao's giant sword fell, and the earth ball was cut into two halves. At this time, it slowly dispersed, revealing Qi Jun wrapped in the earth ball.
His body was slashed diagonally by a sword and split into two halves, but the vitality of the high-level Ziyue warrior was so tenacious that he was still alive.
Su Xiao held a cigarette in his mouth, squinted his eyes, and pressed his sword against Qi Jun's neck.
"I, ahem, no, I didn't expect it. I thought it was Zimu Potion." Qi Jun struggled to say a word.
"There are many things you haven't thought of. Go ahead. When you see Tang Feng, you should explain to him." Su Xiao's giant sword was about to fall.
"You, you will die." Qi Jun spat out a large mouthful of blood.
"I deserved to die." Su Xiao threw away the cigarette in his mouth, fell with his sword, and Qi Jun died.
Su Xiao's expression showed neither sadness nor anger, only a sense of exhaustion.
"Before the earth wall dissipates, those who cross will die!" Su Xiao turned around and looked at the mercenaries following the Qi army behind the earth wall, and just said this.
Then, he walked towards Tang Ling.
At this time, dawn is finally coming, revealing a ray of light in the east that makes people want to cry.
This night seems to have been dark for too long.
Su Xiao looked at Tang Ling with a relieved smile on his face.
Tang Ling looked at Su Xiao and wondered if it was an illusion. He always felt that Su Xiao was getting older with every step he took.
Su Xiao stopped two meters away from Tang Ling.
"How's your recovery going?" he asked.
"I haven't fully recovered my combat power, so I won't have any problem running with you on my back." Tang Ling stood up, grabbed the backpack on the ground, and carried it in front of him. He didn't forget to take Su Xiao's black cloak.
"Well, there's no need to carry me on your back. I'll count to one, two, three, and you run away." Su Xiao's body began to shake a little.
Tang Ling glanced at the figures who did not dare to move behind the wall, and said calmly: "I wonder what kind of strength these guys are? Now, it's up to you."
After saying this, Tang Ling walked towards Su Xiao, took a deep breath, put Su Xiao on his back, and galloped towards a certain place.
'Boom', the earth wall collapsed.
Seeing Tang Ling running with Su Xiao on his back, the more than a hundred mercenaries seemed to finally react and chased Tang Ling's figure with shouts.
Tang Ling looked back.
Fortunately, the strongest among these people should not be more than the second-level Purple Moon Warrior, so let's go die together.
There is always something familiar about the settlement. The running morning breeze is mixed with the smell of soil and grass roots, which always reminds people of their childhood.
At that time, Tang Ling had no parents, only his mother-in-law and sister, but he didn't have so many worries and sorrows. He just needed to live a simple life with the people he depended on.
Although I can't help but yearn for life in the safe zone.
Tang Ling has always been thinking about the past.
However, if possible, he would like to get to know someone earlier in a simple life, and that is Su Xiao.
Think of him as a father.
Tang Ling was really willing, although he had never thought about adding one more person to his most precious memory.
But at this moment, he really wants to.
Su Xiao doesn't have to be strong, and he can even beat him often, but he will still treat him well, hunt for him, let him eat, and even boil hot water to wash his feet.
In fact, it doesn’t matter. The simpler life is, the better.
Tang Ling didn't know what he was thinking about. He was just flustered. The flustered time passed by every second. He was flustered and he should do something to save it.
It's just because there is no other way, so I think wildly.
I want to be filial to Su Xiao and think about ordinary and simple details.
Tang Ling was not omnipotent. He could not stop time, nor could he stop the corner of his eye from seeing Su Xiao's skin slowly changing.
becomes dull and wrinkled
He seemed to be unable to bear the burden, so his running speed became slower.
He seemed to be too panicked, and he was running in the direction of safety area 17.
The person behind him was getting closer and closer to Tang Ling
Tang Ling saw a certain place that was once an exit. After coming out of this exit, Tang Ling's life changed drastically.
The exit is near!
Tang Ling paused suddenly, turned sharply, and rushed towards the exit.
But such movements did not widen the distance between him and the pursuers behind him. Instead, they got closer. The pursuers running at the front seemed to be able to catch Tang Ling with just one stretch of their hands.
Tang Ling seemed a little panicked and suddenly jumped towards a hole in the ground.
The pursuers behind him originally reached out to catch Tang Ling, but in the end they missed him.
But let’s forget it? The target of the Most Wanted Order! Of course it's impossible!
Therefore, the pursuer who was running ahead and was almost the strongest immediately followed Tang Ling and jumped into the entrance.
Then, one, two, three, a series of people jumped into the entrance.
Screams suddenly sounded.
Tang Ling grabbed the ladder by the wall with one arm and looked coldly at the mercenaries who were fighting with the snakes.
He didn't expect that the big snake that chased him in a panic would actually become his support at this time.
Fortunately, he is no longer as ignorant as before. Now he knows that this big snake is actually a level 7 mutant beast.
Think about it, where did you get the courage to fight
Of course, it alone cannot stop these pursuers, but it can't hold back its infinite number of followers. It can be done by fighting for some time and delaying for some time.
Thinking of this, Tang Ling let go of the ladder and jumped down. He easily avoided the chaotic battle group and ran towards the depths of the underground passage.
The pursuers were coming in a steady stream, but as soon as they entered here, Tang Ling was no longer so worried.
After all, it is impossible for non-aboriginals in the settlement to have a deep understanding of how intricate the underground passages are.
These maze-like roads, if you don't know the way, what's the use of being stronger
Tang Ling wasn't worried that his footsteps would reveal anything. After all, there were so many people underground, and their footsteps were so messy.
Carrying Su Xiao on his back, Tang Ling ran wildly, and his speed had returned to its previous normal speed.
Before, he deliberately slowed down just to lure the pursuers ahead to jump into the 'trap'.
After all, those who can run at the front are usually the strongest. This group of people is entangled by the big snake and its group of snakes, and even if the people behind them catch up, it will not be a worry.
After getting familiar with the underground passage, Tang Ling finally got rid of the group of pursuers. At this time, Su Xiao, who was lying on his back, also spoke, with a hint of age in his voice: "You brat, I didn't notice you." It’s so bad, can you think of such a trick?”
"You're kidding me, have I lived in the settlement for more than ten years in vain?" Tang Ling tried his best to keep his tone light.
"I didn't expect you to escape smoothly." Su Xiao said with emotion, this kid is really a miracle boy.
"Otherwise, what can I do? I also made a bet. If that big snake is no longer here, I will have to carry you on my back and fight for my life." Tang Ling passed through a blasted wall, and he knew that it was not far ahead. It's where Quark's shop used to be.
When he arrived here, Tang Ling felt some fear in his heart, a fear of being close to home.
He didn't know what would become of this settlement after it was wantonly destroyed by the zombies.
"Uncle, is there somewhere we can go?" Tang Ling asked. As long as he didn't escape from here, he would be dead sooner or later.
The underground of the settlement cannot always shelter them.
The key point is to escape!
Su Xiao did not speak, but took out a map from his pocket and patted it on Tang Ling's shoulder: "I wanted to give it to you just now, but who told you to run away with me on your back?"
Tang Ling put away the map and asked, "Is it far?"
"Not far, just nearby. The secret hiding place I left behind." Su Xiao said with a hint of pride in his tone.
"Is it safe?" Tang Ling asked.
"Absolutely safe! Even if you don't take me with you, you must go there. Otherwise, do you think the world is so big, where can you go?" Su Xiao seemed to have recovered from the fatigue of the battle, and began to have a relationship with Tang Ling. A back-and-forth conversation started.
"What will happen if I go to your place? Is it possible that I can go there?" Hearing that Su Xiao had recovered a little, Tang Ling began to feel inexplicably happy. He quickly grabbed a handful of vicious beast meat and put it in Su Xiao's mouth. Rise.
Su Xiao didn't refuse and swallowed it directly.
This action made Tang Ling smile like a child.
"Anyway, you'll know when you go there." Su Xiao answered vaguely while chewing the beast's meat.
The remaining passage is not long, just a short conversation, and it has reached the end.
At the end is a pair of gravel-blocked exits.
Several months have passed and nothing has changed here.
"Uncle, wait a moment." Tang Ling put down Su Xiao and began to clean up the pile of rubble.
For him who just left a few months ago, this might be a somewhat difficult task, but for him now, it only takes three to five minutes.
Tang Ling was very focused on his work. He didn't seem to see Su Xiao being put down at all. His face had changed.
He has become very old, as old as Coquelin, but he is still a tough guy in his prime.
Tang Ling moved away a huge piece of gravel, and the dust that was raised seemed to be blinding him. He wiped his face hard, and then kicked away the person who had been hit by the explosives. Pile of rubble.
At that time, when you ran away, you didn't even know what explosives were? But now, it is clear that only a few months have passed, so why does it feel like a lifetime ago
Tang Ling carried Su Xiao on his back again and stepped into the place that used to be Quark's store.
There is no light in this place, because no one has lived in it for a long time, so it is dark.
The entire place that used to be Quark's storage room was filled with an unpleasant smell of dried blood and decay that had not completely dissipated.
Even with Tang Ling's eyesight, it was difficult to see what was inside, but Su Xiao reminded Tang Ling: "I have a flashlight in my backpack."
Tang Ling hesitated for a moment. He really didn't want to see what the former settlement had become.
But in order to save time and get out quickly, he took out the flashlight from his bag and turned it on.
As expected, there were piles of broken limbs and broken arms here, which shows how tragic it was at that time.
But there is no need to worry about the zombies here, because the corpses are all chewed up and almost no one is intact. Those who can retain half of the torso are considered lucky. How can they become zombies
The corpse man was under control that night. When the silver-haired man in black robe left, the corpse man was naturally commanded to leave.
Hatred seemed to boil since he returned here. Tang Ling took a deep breath and coughed, but tried hard to calm down.
He kicked away the debris blocking his way and wanted to carry Su Xiao out of the storage room, but at this moment, he caught a glimpse of a remaining arm bone in the corner.
This arm bone has no hand bones, and there is only a small black hole in the front.
This made Tang Ling pause slightly.
He suddenly remembered that there were two rows of shelves in this storage room that day, but when he came back with his mother-in-law and sister, the two rows of shelves were no longer there.
Through this amputated arm bone, Tang Ling accidentally discovered a little secret of Quark. It turned out that this storage room had a basement.
The owner of the arm bone accidentally discovered this secret when he was struggling or something.
He started digging desperately, trying to escape to the basement, but
Tang Ling closed his eyes and calmed down, not wanting to think about it anymore.
In fact, he was not interested in Quark's collection, but he remembered the numbers that were suddenly read to him the night Quark was captured, which made Tang Ling hesitate a little.
However, after hesitating for less than half a second, he picked up Su Xiao and was about to leave.
However, Tang Ling's slight pause made Su Xiao seem to be a little interested, and he asked, "What did you find?"
As Tang Ling kicked away the sundries and moved forward, he said, "This used to be a sundry store in the settlement, the largest sundry store."
“When I lived in the settlement, I often came here to exchange food with the boss.”
"Then what? What will be here?" Su Xiao seemed very interested.
"Well, this used to be the boss's storage room. Now I suspect there is a basement here." Tang Ling did not hide what Su Xiao meant, and by this time they had already walked out of the storage room.
"Oh, then go back, go back quickly. I want to see if there is really a basement." Su Xiao shouted loudly.
Tang Ling glanced sideways at Su Xiao: "Uncle, we are running for our lives! Do you think the owner of a sundry store in a settlement can collect any good things?"
"I don't have much time to live anymore. I can still go on an adventure in the end, why not? I don't care about this time, we will be safe." Su Xiao insisted, almost yelling at Tang Ling.
The words "life is short" came out of Su Xiao's mouth so easily.
Tang Ling's heart tightened, and a wave of sadness, panic, and anxiety immediately surged into his heart. He also roared loudly: "Old man, what are you talking about?"
"Then are you going?" Su Xiao was not afraid of Tang Ling's roar. There were some things he never avoided.
Tang Ling suddenly felt aggrieved and wanted to cry loudly. What should he do, but he couldn't refuse Su Xiao. It seemed that going to the basement would make Su Xiao happy, and he couldn't refuse it.
Enduring such complicated emotions, Tang Ling turned around and entered the storage room with Su Xiao on his back. He walked straight to the amputated arm bone and stamped his foot downwards. Dense cracks immediately appeared on the ground. .
Su Xiao suddenly became excited. This crack showed that there really was a basement underground.
Tang Ling put Su Xiao down, picked a heavy object on the ground, and smashed it hard against the cracked areas.
With a muffled sound of 'boom', in the smoke and dust, under the light of a flashlight, a small underground secret room really appeared in their eyes.
"Carry me down." Su Xiao directed Tang Ling.
Tang Ling just wanted to satisfy Su Xiao quickly and left immediately. So without saying a word, he picked up Su Xiao and jumped down together.
After several months, this basement also exudes a faint smell of decay. There are actually a lot of dried meats piled on the ground. However, because a small hole was dug out, it is no longer an airtight environment. There is a faint smell. The smell of decay comes from them.
"Hey, look what I saw? This boss really collected some good things." Su Xiao seemed very excited.
Like Tang Ling, a foodie, he didn't pay attention to what to eat first when he came in. Instead, he used the flashlight to look at the shelves on both sides and started yelling.
There is actually nothing special on these shelves. It seems now that they are just some books from pre-civilizations and some things that Quark has pointed out, some things that are a little strange to Tang Ling now.
It should be some ore, but can Manglin produce any good ore? Was Uncle Su Xiao overly excited and actually fascinated by these things
"Here, put this away."
"This, this, and this" Su Xiao directed Tang Ling and began to collect some things on the shelf, mainly some stones or bones.
In order not to waste time, Tang Ling did not refute, but silently put all these heavy items into his backpack.
After seven or eight yuan, Tang Ling couldn't stand it anymore: "Uncle, can you just have high-quality products? These are very heavy."
"Have you spent all your time practicing in vain? Did you know? This boss has some eyesight. These are all high-quality materials. I have also collected so many crystals for you. You must learn to forge in the future." Su Xiao patted Tang Ling's hand. head.
This time, it was not as powerful as before, but Tang Ling was inexplicably excited.
He didn't care about forging or anything like that. Just because Su Xiao patted him, he started to put it away hard. He actively stuffed some things that Su Xiao didn't name into his backpack.
Until, he and Su Xiao saw a small black box at the same time.
"Is it really him?" Su Xiao suddenly became excited and pinched Tang Ling's shoulders.
Later, there will be a chapter of May summary
