Death is the Beginning

Chapter 197: Returning to the City and Searching (Part 1)

Views:

When Pei Jiao woke up from his deep sleep. At this moment, in a certain jungle in the south, which is far away from northern China, Zhang Heng led nearly a thousand humans slowly but resolutely towards the jungle.

It has been two days and two nights since he captured the Kui Niu Drum. During these two days and two nights, he has not been idle at all. On the one hand, he has settled the humans he rescued. A total of one hundred giant wolves were killed. Many horses, all of which were skinned and shaved by the people as food.

Of course, the wisdom of working people is limitless, aside from other things, this pack of giant wolves, which are bigger than ordinary cattle, is enough meat for hundreds of thousands of people to eat for several days, and these The people have suffered enough from starvation, and now that the wolf meat is enough, it is no less than heaven for them, so whether it is wolf meat, giant wolf internal organs, or even the huge bones The bone marrow inside was cracked and eaten, and more wolf meat was smoked and preserved. God knows how afraid they are to starve again.

In addition to wolf meat, Zhang Heng also retrieved a large number of plant seeds, roots and other food from the mountain barbarians. Among them is a kind of seed that is as big as a white bean and shaped like rice. After cooking, it looks like real rice, and it is even more delicious, with a hint of sweetness. It is a new variety that no one has ever seen before.

But thinking about the appearance of countless alien intelligent creatures that have never been seen before, it is only natural that these new types of plants appear, and these new types of rice have also been selected by the people who belong to farming, and they have been found. Some of the seeds are still intact. Although we don’t know the yield of this new type of rice, this is a hope after all, the hope that human beings can meet the food demand in the future.

In this way, Zhang Heng attacked everywhere in the past two days and two nights, and wiped out the gathering points and lairs of the surrounding mountain barbarians, goblins, elves, swamp wolves, and several intelligent creatures of other races. It was the peeling forest. Zhang Heng saw that the elf settlement in that forest had already been emptied, but there were hundreds of dead bones and human skins left there. He burned the forest all over, and until the end of two days, he rescued nearly 600 people, but most of these people were out of their minds. It will take several days of self-cultivation to recover. There are more than a hundred people who are already disabled, and it is common to lose hands and feet. Such things make Zhang Heng feel desolate and furious at the same time.

But he didn't kill blindly. For example, the goblin race, about 1.23 meters tall, with green skin all over, looks a bit like an abstract human being. Among all the alien races in the jungle, this is the only one without The alien race that captured humans, but it’s not that this race is kind and lives in peace with humans, but that the physical fitness of this race is actually worse than humans, but even so, they will swarm around the lonely humans, Zhang Heng said More than a dozen human remains were seen in their dens.

However, this goblin clan was spared from being exterminated. It was precisely because of their low physical fitness that the number was quite large. There were one or two thousand goblins in a gathering place, and Zhang Heng killed four or five hundred of them. The rest of the goblins all knelt on the ground. They couldn't run away, and they would die faster if they resisted. So these goblins surrendered in an instant, and they became slaves. Behind the large human forces in the village, they still look extremely humble.

That's good too. After Zhang Heng took back a goblin tribe, he didn't bother to find other goblin lairs. After two days and two nights, almost all the humans in this mountainous area have been rescued. There were about 1,340 people, but at least 400 of them were insane, they only ate food when they had it, and squatted on the ground trembling when they saw the alien race.

Among the nearly one thousand remaining people, there are also more than one hundred people who are disabled and unable to walk. Fortunately, this is the end of the world. Regardless of who was dirty or smelly, the group of more than a thousand people slowly followed behind Zhang Heng and Duan Rui, and walked out in the direction of the mountain.

As for other sundries and the like, to be honest, there were no other sundries. When the ghosts broke out and everyone escaped from the city, they only had time to grab a few pieces of clothing. Or they didn't even take any clothes, most of them only brought money or bank cards, but who knew that human civilization was destroyed so quickly and so thoroughly, would there be any use for these money and bank cards

After the alien race appeared, they were even more naked and fled to the mountains, and a very small number of people got some weapons from the police station or some accompanying soldiers, but in the past two years, hunting, There was basically no ammunition in the battle with the alien race, so the walk was clean and tidy. As for the food, it was the smoked and roasted meat steaks of giant wolves, and several large bags of plant roots and seeds. Then all the goblin slaves came to carry them, and even Zhang Heng was even more whimsical, leading people to make a lot of stretchers, so that those goblin slaves could bear the burden of people with walking difficulties or mental disorders, so he didn't bother to go Regardless of whether these goblins will lose their strength or not, they will kill them anyway. Do races that have eaten humans still want to live well

In this way, about four days passed. Although there were too many people, and most of them were weak, they still let everyone walk out of the jungle during the four days. , is on a highway that goes directly to distant places.

"Go straight along this road, and walk for about half a day, and you can go to the nearest town from here."

Zhang Heng walked at the front of the team. When he took everyone on the highway with him, at least half of the people present cried loudly. They all knelt and sat on the highway, stroking the smooth ground of the highway with their hands. The situation felt a little out of control.

Zhang Heng also remained silent for a long time, and he felt even more sad and uncomfortable for the people in front of him. God knows that human beings, who are the spirits of all things, were forced to escape into the mountains due to various reasons, and were even slaughtered and raised. When they returned from the mountains and forests and saw the creations of previous human civilizations again, this kind of emotional outburst was really hard to describe in words, and any language was pale and powerless before this kind of emotion. .

Duan Rui took out a map next to Zhang Heng. This map was finally found in the warehouse of a barbarian in the mountains. Although it was already tattered, it still marked the traffic map of the nearby towns, so it was considered a map. Everyone's current treasure, after Duan Rui and Zhang Heng searched for a while, and a few local people in the crowd signaled, everyone walked slowly towards the direction of the town.

In fact, this trip can be regarded as the trip of more than a thousand people, because according to some people who escaped from that town, that town has already been occupied by a group of foreign races similar to mountain barbarians, but this group of foreign races only Living on the plains, far away from mountains, forests and mountains, that's why they didn't go into the mountains to arrest them. If Zhang Heng loses to that barbarian tribe along the way, they really can't even escape. The only possibility is to be captured. Captured, killed and eaten, there is really no hope left.

However, there are quite a few barbarians, there are as many as thousands of barbarians, and at that time a large human settlement was next to this small town. When the barbarians appeared, they carried out a surprise attack on this large settlement. It has been a year since now. After being bred and eaten for such a long time, it is estimated that there will not be many of these captured humans left, but there must be thousands of humans. After all, the staple food of the barbarians is not humans, and the bred humans may breed some wild animals with them. Almost, it shouldn't be eaten and cut off...

Eat root, what a cruel word.

but! But they have already had enough of living in hiding like mice, with no food, no safety, and no hope... Instead of continuing to live like that, it is better to move forward with this only hope!

We are human!

Zhang Heng still remembers the little girl he saw when he woke up from the ground. Half of her chest was bitten off by a mountain barbarian, and she could only helplessly cough up blood...

There was also the little girl who stuffed him with a half-bitten dried wild date. It was her most precious thing, a treasure that her father gave up his life, and it was still in his pocket. Something to remember for a lifetime...

"Let's go! Let's go to the town!" Zhang Heng shouted to the people behind him, and then walked towards the town first.

This group of people, there are about a thousand humans, and the goblins who are following behind these humans. A group of people are walking on the highway. Except for Zhang Heng, the rest of them don't know what the future is. What, everyone has hesitation in their hearts, but they don't regret walking out of the mountain forest, not for anything else, just because of the shock and touch from the depths of their souls at the moment when they saw the expressway. This kind of impulse to regain self-esteem and self-improvement of human beings, as well as the courage that human beings have not yet fallen! Just for all of this, even death is worth it!

Fortunately... fortunately, when Zhang Heng appeared, human civilization had only been lost for two years. During these two years, human beliefs have not been completely lost. Human beings are still the same human beings. They only need to give them the environment and courage to change the world. A race good enough to be called human... thankfully.

In this way, Zhang Heng himself didn't know that his appearance had not only saved the lives of these people, but also saved their spirit and belief in the abyss, especially in this seemingly reckless, in fact, he The very sure action has reinvigorated the courage of these surviving people. As long as this battle can be won, as long as this group of people can continue to live, there will be new hope for the future of mankind.

Ten hours is a long time to say, but the sun in the sky dipped below the horizon, the stars began to fill the sky, and most of the people ate and drank. After two or three meals, finally, in the distance of the horizon, everyone saw the light of the flames , and the traces of the former town are faintly visible, but it is a pity that the town has been completely abandoned, or it has been transformed, and it has become a collection of strange buildings that cannot be described. It seems to be built of stones, broken steel walls, and some trees... a cottage

Yes, the cottage is very similar to the several mountain barbarian cottages that Zhang Heng exterminated.

The barbarian stronghold in the distance was already faintly visible. Until then, everyone did not move on. They all looked at Zhang Heng, and Zhang Heng was silent for a while, and let everyone stay in the dark for a while. He came to the elf princess who was bound among the goblins.

According to her, this female elf mage is the princess of the elf black forest tribe, that is, the princess of the peeling forest elf tribe who was set on fire by Zhang Heng. He yelled and cursed, and his demeanor was even more arrogant. He kept talking about the power of the elves, saying that Zhang Heng was just a low-level holy spirit, and there were hundreds of low-level holy spirits speaking in the holy land of the elves.

But Zhang Heng doesn't care about her. Of course, it's too late to talk about sex. Although Zhang Heng can slaughter a tribe of a foreign race without blinking, but if he really wants to give a woman of a foreign race to sex, it's too much. It is challenging his psychological limit, he will never do it, but other than that, there is much to say, Zhang Heng is really not polite, don't care about the charming appearance of this elf girl, just take out a The skinning knife, just peeled the skin from the hands and feet of the elf princess.

As a result, before the skin on one hand was peeled off, the elf princess had already given in, and told about the existence of the twelve major tribes of the elves, thirty-six small tribes, and a royal court. But only the holy land of the elves, she didn't say anything after being beaten to death. Even though Zhang Heng completely skinned one of her arms, she passed out several times without saying a word. Zhang Heng felt a little admiration in his heart.

But what about admiration? Everyone is of a different race. If you use my clansman to skin and bone, I will destroy your entire clan. Just like what Gong Yeyu said before, I have already lived and died. I should kill or have to kill. But it's meaningless to torture the elf princess any more, so he didn't bother to care about the elf princess any more, he cut off her tendons, and then ordered the goblins to carry them on a stretcher, and after preparing to settle these humans down, he went to find the elves Trouble for the tribe, because from what this elf princess said, there are one or several sacred artifacts in the elf tribe, the artifacts of the clan, at least they are natural weapons at the worst? The possibility of a real-name natural weapon is also quite high. It is even said that there is an artifact passed down from the elves in the royal court. Zhang Heng paid attention to it at the time. It might be a natural weapon of civilization, although his current strength is unlikely to wipe out the elves. family, but his partner can! .

Since he can survive from Easter Island, then his partner can definitely, keep this elf princess, and when he finds the rest of his partners, he will go to the elves to snatch women... Uh, I was wrong, grab weapons, and use that Grab the natural weapons of civilization!

At this time, Zhang Heng walked up to the elf princess. The elf girl was looking at him with resentment and hatred, but Zhang Heng ignored him, slapped her across the face, and directly knocked out a few teeth, and then sneered Said: "Stop looking at me with that kind of superior gaze, believe it or not, I will strip you naked and throw it to the goblins to play? I am very annoyed by you alien races, it is best not to challenge my limit, now I Let me ask you, what is the strength of those flat land barbarians among your hundreds of clans?"

The elf princess spat out her teeth, and she bit her lips tightly, but she never dared to look at Zhang Heng again.

Zhang Heng was silent for a while. Everything he saw in the peeling forest flashed through his mind. The tyranny in his heart burst out like magma. When she mentioned her, she wanted to throw it at those goblins. Only then did the elf princess burst into tears, and at the same time hugged Zhang Heng tightly with both arms... Her tendons in her hands and hamstrings were severed, and only her arms could move. , and said loudly at the same time: "I was wrong, I was wrong, don't give me to the goblins, I know many things about the elves and the hundred tribes, I was wrong..."

Zhang Heng snorted, then put her back on the stretcher, stared straight into her eyes and said, "Quickly, I don't have time to chat with you, my clansmen are still hungry, sleepy, and cold, I'm going to fight back to town as soon as possible."

The elf princess was really scared now, and she quickly said: "The mountain barbarians you call, and these flat land barbarians are all a large race called barbarians. Among hundreds of clans, there are holy places and clan ancestors. , that is to say, there are eight races of the holy spirit like you, namely our elves, barbarians, dwarves, giants, demons, seas, celestials, and undead. We are collectively called the eight strong The Clan is a race that has been passed down from the last few centuries of civilization. As for the other races, such as the Swamp Ten Clan, the Goblin Clan, and the Shui Clan, Snow Clan, and Werewolf Clan, they are all inferior races. They have no holy land. It is only because of the protection of a large number of unowned lands that it can be passed down to this day, and it is also a survivor of previous civilizations like us."

Zhang Heng nodded, and he suddenly asked: "The so-called holy land... is it a fantasy land?"

The elf princess froze for a moment, but she looked at Zhang Heng inexplicably and said, "Fantasy land? What is that?"

Zhang Heng thought for a while and said, "Many ghosts and ghosts will appear on their own... er, there are some creatures similar to the Holy Spirit, and the inside is very vast and huge. It is a kind of different world and different space."

The elf princess suddenly realized: "This is the land of no man. There are indeed many holy spirit-like creatures in it, but these creatures can be directly destroyed by physical attacks, but they are still very dangerous inside. Those other races that are not the eight major races, They all relied on the protection of the land of no man, so they escaped the apocalypse and can be passed down to this day. However, our eight major races don’t have to do this. Our holy land will not produce these creatures, and they can reproduce very safely. That’s why we It can be called the top eight clans."

Suddenly, Zhang Heng realized that he had heard Pei Jiao talk about his experience in the fantasy land on the North-South battlefield in the United States. The ghost, the leader of that fantasy land, seemed to be able to swallow the entire fantasy land in the process of evolving into a demon king. Perhaps this It's not devouring, but assimilating or controlling the fantasy land, maybe... Maybe the demon king's ghosts can control the fantasy land through some methods, so that ordinary people may also enter the fantasy land... No !

wrong! Human beings can now enter the fantasy land! The most basic condition to enter the fantasy land is that it must be a soul body, otherwise you must wear the Nibelungen Ring like Yu Ndchen, such a three-eyed creation, and the current earth environment has changed It has become a real subspace environment, and in this environment, the soul is already a body. In other words, the current human beings are already soul bodies, and they can already enter the fantasy land!

In the same way, the reason why those alien races without holy places can be passed down from previous civilizations is precisely the same reason. When the subspace is completely integrated with the earth, these alien races are also soul bodies, and they also have the duality of the body. Yes, then they can enter the fantasy land. After escaping the doomsday of the subspace, the fantasy land may be closed, but they survived and continue to survive and inherit in the fantasy land... It is also understandable to appear. When the subspace descended on the earth, a large number of imaginary lands opened up, then these alien races also left the imaginary lands and came to the earth. This is the reason for their sudden appearance!

So... can human beings escape the doomsday in the same way? It only needs Gong Yeyu to control a large fantasy land, then there will be no more monsters spawning in the fantasy land, and human beings can survive unharmed.

Similarly, Zhang Heng also had answers to several other puzzles, such as why alien races are usually so strong, and even this weak goblin race has far more stamina than humans. It turns out that they have been fighting those ghosts in the fantasy land Ah, I have been obsessed with the souls of ghosts. After a long time, I will naturally far surpass humans...

"It seems that we need to find other partners as soon as possible..." Zhang Heng muttered to himself, he caught the elf princess by accident, knew all these inside stories, and even more knew that the eight powerful clans all had private fantasies , in other words, they also have their own demon kings, which is not good news for human beings. It seems that the rest of them will be found as soon as possible. As long as Gong Yeyu and Pei Jiao are around, they will not be afraid of other aliens. The Demon King Rank powerhouse.

Putting these thoughts aside, Zhang Heng saw the elf princess's expression of fearing him and being afraid of him. Although he didn't feel any guilt in his heart, he felt a little pity. I threw some wild fruits on the stretcher of the elf princess, and at the same time said to the goblins around who coveted the elf princess: "Don't touch her, or I will pull out your skin!" After finishing speaking, ignore the elf princess again With the goblin, they walked straight to the front of the team.

Zhang Heng looked up as he walked, and in the distance, the *** was looming, and there... would be the first step of human's re-emergence!
