After dealing with the matter here, she had to go to Ningcheng as soon as possible to find He Yuanqing's father and brothers, and get back the two remaining red branches. Things would change later.
Jing Hexuan naturally followed.
Shi Bao said that he would be very good and wanted to go with him.
Shi Lingyao had no choice but to wrap him up in a small bag and carry him behind his back.
When we arrived at the gate of the city, there were a lot of people coming and going, at least for Shi Lingyao. Since the natural disaster, only those who had returned from various villages could see that the flow of people coming and going was quite a lot.
The guard stopped the two people: "Please show your pass."
Shi Lingyao looked confused.
Jing Hexuan cleared his throat: "I'm from Imperial New City."
The guard suddenly realized: "Hello."
But there was no intention of giving way.
The three of them stared at each other.
Shi Lingyao's patience ran out: "Why are you still stopping me?"
The guard looked disdainful: "Then who are you?"
Shi Lingyao: "..."
Jing Hexuan frowned.
Shi Lingyao took a deep breath: "If you don't have a pass, I'll find someone."
The guard sneered. He saw this kind of woman who wanted to live in Ningcheng by fawning over a master. It didn't matter how beautiful she was, she was not a man's vassal.
He said in a contemptuous tone: "It doesn't matter if you have an expert to guide you. You need to pay 10 Xuan Crystals to enter the city. If you want to apply for a residence certificate, you need to pay 100 Xuan Crystals."
Want money? That's definitely not the case.
She didn't plan to go in, so she released her mental power and swept across the entire Ningcheng, quickly finding the person she was looking for.
In a dark shack area in the corner of the city, the two of them happened to be studying a red branch in their hands.
"A friend of mine is coming to visit us. Can we go into the city and talk for a while?"
A man's gentle voice suddenly sounded above the city gate.
Everyone around was startled and looked around, wondering who the voice was talking to.
Seemingly seeing no reply, the man added, "Ningcheng is a very warm family, and friends are welcome to settle here."
Shi Lingyao snorted coldly: "You're just showing off this week, why do you still welcome others? If I were that person, I would have run away long ago."
The guard sneered: "Sorry, you need to pay 10 Xuanjing to enter the city. If you want to apply for a residence certificate, you need to pay 100 Xuanjing."
Shi Lingyao was speechless: "Your boss said you welcome others home. Now you just turn around and charge money, and you still need to charge money when you go home?"
The guard chuckled: "If it's that master, of course he doesn't need to charge money."
Shi Lingyao: "Okay."
During this back and forth, the two people her mind was locked on suddenly split the red branch into two and ate it!
Shi Lingyao was stunned. There had never been any precedent of a living person eating red branches, but she intuitively felt that the consequences would not be too good.
Too lazy to argue with the guard, as it was impossible to give money, she took off directly, leaped up the city wall with a light body, and disappeared in a few seconds.
The guard quickly turned the alarm bell: "There is an intruder! There is an intruder!"
For a moment, a piercing alarm bell rang in the sky, and all the surrounding guards were dispatched, chasing into the city with weapons in hand.
Jing Hexuan: "..." This level of troublemaking is not low.
However, Shi Lingyao didn't rush in without any scruples. She used her mind to transmit her voice, and her voice resounded throughout the North District of Ningcheng:
"Someone has turned into a zombie and eaten people near the northwest corner of the North District of your city."
The nearby citizens were in an uproar.
Let’s not say who this strange female voice is, the content alone makes people who hear it clearly feel horrified.
It's okay if it's further away. I subconsciously let out a sigh of relief. After all, it's still relatively far away.
People nearby screamed and ran to their homes, fearing that zombies would rush out and bite people at the next moment.
Only then did Jing Hexuan know why she suddenly forced her way into the city.
Mr. Yuan lives in the central area of the city, and together with the city lord Xing Chengzhen and others, the defense is the best in Ningcheng.
Since the natural disaster came and the zombie epidemic spread all over the world, Mr. Yuan has been studying hard to develop an antidote, but he has found nothing.
Three full years have passed, and it has finally emerged that humans are immune to zombie poison. This news is like a beam of light in the dark night, breaking people's despair.
Compared with others who were staring at He Yuanqing with joy and probing, Mr. Yuan was keenly aware that things were not that simple.
Jing Hexuan, such a cold-hearted person, ignored the heavy responsibilities on his shoulders and refused to go back to Xincheng in the south. He Yuanqing, an important immune person, sent two people back.
Either this person is not important, or there is someone more important than this person in the south.
So Mr. Yuan ignored the dissuasion and went his own way. He insisted on coming to Ningcheng and brought two students with him to conduct research on corpse poison in Ningcheng.
Jing Hexuan was not worried at all that Mr. Yuan would discover the secret that he had buried deep in his heart for many years. He was too lazy to talk to him about it, so he only asked the three of them to take turns following Mr. Yuan to protect his safety.
And he still runs to Taoyuan City every day, dedicated to increasing his sense of presence.
Right now, the girl he was keeping an eye on unexpectedly had a son. Although he knew there was something fishy about it, he couldn't help but become violent.
Shi Lingyao was unwilling to tell him the truth, which only meant that she still placed him in the circle of outsiders who needed to be wary.
This discovery put him in a bad mood.
In fact, he had roughly guessed the truth, but he still lacked a chance to verify the truth.
He doesn't dare to act rashly now. Many times, his words and deeds represent his position. Even if he wants to express his position now, he can't speak casually without knowing the specific situation of Shi Lingyao.
If you accidentally push the two of them into different camps, you will regret it.
Just like now, no matter what she wants to do, she will rush up to him directly without telling him the reason at all. If she likes to follow him, if she doesn't like to follow him, stay away.
But he didn't dare to ask for more. With her current attitude towards idlers, being willing to let him follow her was already a very good treatment.
In the central area of the city, Deputy City Lord Wang Jingsheng was reporting to Ningcheng City Lord Xing Chengzhen. He had just noticed a strange force of thought that swept around the city very quickly and then disappeared.
The two of them were discussing whether to find out where this person was, whether he was passing by or visiting, and it was best for them to take the initiative to greet him.
According to Wang Jingsheng, this person's level of mental power is much higher than his, and he is definitely a master.
At this moment, a piercing alarm bell rang from the north. This was the highest alert warning!
The two stood up quickly, looked at each other, and rushed out.
"Somebody come!"
When Shi Lingyao and Jing Hexuan arrived, the riot in the North District had just begun.
Those who responded quickly were already at home, with the doors and windows closed.
The slower ones were still screaming and running on the street, while the more daring ones didn't see any zombies and were looking around the street with vigilance.
Shi Lingyao went straight to the residential area she saw.
Alarm bells rang in the sky, and someone was shouting for people to quickly go back to their houses and maintain order on the streets.
Screams could already be heard in that shack area.
This was not originally a residential area planned by Ningcheng. Later, a new city was planned. In order to accommodate more people, a large area of residential housing was planned in the deserted suburbs here.
It's just that the houses were built in a hurry, and the planning and design were not perfect. The entire area was crowded and dirty, and the houses were only the simplest wooden houses.
The streets are already very narrow, and many homeless people have built shacks on the streets, making many places inaccessible.
The view is dim and the buildings are crowded.
For a moment I couldn't see clearly what was going on inside.
She turned to look at Jing Hexuan and took off the Shi Bao from her back: "You stop the zombies running out here."
Jing Hexuan frowned: "Where are you going?"
Shi Lingyao's answer was to turn around and get into the crowded and dark residential area, and disappeared behind a shack.
Shi Bao opened his short legs and chased after him: "Mother, wait for Shi Bao!"
