The flame pillar is menacing and has the potential to destroy everything.
Hundreds of blood-red tentacles instantly emerged from Zhao Yue's back to form a human shield, like open umbrellas, intertwined and entangled in front of Zhao Yue.
Flame and human shield collide!
Thick black smoke suddenly rose from the burning area, mixed with a pungent burnt smell.
"Okay! Lan Bingxu, take back the flames!"
Zhao Yue hid behind the tentacles, and shouted as the heat wave burst in front of him.
As the words reached Lan Bingxu's ears, Lan Bingxu hurriedly extinguished the flames in his arms.
The jet of flame light pillars lost their energy source and quickly dissipated into the air.
Everyone who saw this scene from a distance secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The oppressive feeling of this flame beam is too strong!
If anyone were to go up there, they would definitely become human carbon!
Lan Bingxu quickly came to Zhao Yue's side, looking panicked and worried: "Boss, are you okay?!"
Zhao Yue closed his tentacles, his whole body was safe and sound, without any scars.
"You kid, you actually have two powers and you didn't tell me in advance!" Zhao Yue raised his index finger, knocked Lan Bingxu on the head, and cursed with a smile.
Lan Bingxu scratched his head and smiled.
"I just wanted to give you a surprise, boss." Lan Bingxu was a little embarrassed. He didn't expect the power of the flames to be so powerful!
Fortunately, the boss is fine!
Li Xuan hurriedly ran over from a distance. After confirming that Zhao Yue was fine, he felt relieved.
"I lost this competition." Zhao Yue smiled softly and then said with a straight face, "But don't be proud! You still have to train hard!"
"I know, boss!" Lan Bingxu said seriously.
In fact, Zhao Yue still has teleportation ability that he has not used.
It's just that he was worried that Lan Bingxu was not skilled in controlling flames and might destroy the villa, so he did not choose to use instant abilities to dodge, but chose to turn his tentacles into human shields to resist!
The battle between the two was brief, but it left an indelible impression on everyone!
"Is this the power you have after being infected?"
Sha Peng looked straight at the garden, breathing rapidly and muttering to himself.
He also longs to have such great power!
When Zhao Yue and everyone returned, Zhao Yue's cell phone suddenly rang with a message notification!
Ding!
After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Yue took the phone in his hand and opened the messaging software with a slide.
Seeing the message on the phone, Zhao Yue was startled at first, then smiled, and then frowned slightly.
The message was from Zeng Zhiwen.
"Zhao Yue, if you receive this message, it means that I have arrived in the underground city."
"Thank you for providing the infectious materials before, which has brought a lot of help to our family."
"Of course, sending you this message is not just a thank you, there are other more important things."
"This message is sent by the trigger program."
"If you receive this message, it means that your safe house has been built and my promise has been fulfilled."
"However, don't be too happy too early. I am a businessman and I always like transactions, and this time is no exception."
"I like the sentence in "The Beheaded Queen" very much. All gifts from fate have already been marked with a secret price."
"The safe house is my gift to you. As for the hidden price, you need to find it yourself."
"When one day, I need you to do something for me, I hope you will not refuse, because this is an unspoken agreement between the two of us."
"Although there is no contract binding us, I believe you will not let me down."
"I have always been confident that my vision will not go wrong."
"Finally, I'll give you a free piece of advice."
"Never enter the underground city! It exists only for hope!"
"Also, complete my agreement as soon as possible... This is also the only... gift that I or the Zeng family can leave to this world of death."
The content of the message is not much. Looking at the sending time, it was just now.
The surprise of course was the news that the construction of the safe house was completed.
Previously, workers building safe houses went on strike due to government announcements about infection concerns.
In order to fulfill his promise, Zeng Zhiwen spent a lot of money and hired many robots to continue construction.
At that time, Zhao Yue estimated that it would take at least several months to complete the construction.
Unexpectedly, the construction was completed so quickly, which was beyond Zhao Yue's expectation!
If your guess is correct, Zeng Zhiwen should have sent many more robots later, otherwise it would never have been so fast!
As for other news, Zhao Yue couldn't figure it out and felt that it was in the clouds.
'Never enter the underground city! 'Zhao Yue can understand this sentence.
But the latter sentence 'It exists only for hope! 'What means?
And Zhao Yue also discovered something was wrong!
If this sentence is to tell yourself never to enter the underground city.
Then Zeng Zhiwen could have sent this message to himself in advance.
But he chose to use the trigger program to send it.
In other words, when he sent this message, he was afraid of being noticed by someone?
He didn't even dare to remind Zhao Yue directly, he could only remind him indirectly.
Of course, these are just my guesses.
Maybe he just thought of it and wrote it down casually, without any other deep meaning.
The whole news gives people a hazy feeling everywhere.
'The safe house is my gift to you. As for the hidden price, you need to find it yourself. '
This sentence is also elusive. What is the hidden price?
'When one day, I need you to do something for me, I hope you will not refuse, because this is a tacit agreement between the two of us. '
This sentence is also doubtful.
Zeng Zhiwen only said that he would need Zhao Yue's help one day, but he did not explain at all what he needed from me to help him.
He has entered the underground city, which prevents detection and completely cuts off outside signals.
In this case, the two of them can't contact each other at all!
Not to mention what one day will be like!
This news is really strange!
It feels like a riddle.
etc!
riddle?
Zhao Yue focused his eyes, read the message content again, and looked at two sentences.
'I like the sentence in "The Beheaded Queen" very much. All gifts from fate have already been marked with a secret price. '
'The safe house is my gift to you. As for the hidden price, you need to find it yourself. '
"The Beheaded Queen"? Is there any information hidden in this?
Find the hidden price yourself?
At this moment, Zhao Yue fell into deep thought.
This guy!
Why hadn't I noticed before that he was so good at telling riddles?
Zhao Yue covered his head. He knew nothing about riddles and deciphering!
There was no other way, Zhao Yue had no choice but to let everyone see the news.
After all, three cobblers are as good as Zhuge Liang!
What if someone guesses it?
However, the truth is cruel. Everyone has seen it, thought hard for a long time, and finally shook their heads, unable to figure out the reason. This aspect is obviously not their strong point.
It's like doing a math problem. If you can't do it, you just can't do it. Even if you invite ten bad students to come, you still can't do it!
Zhao Yue looked at Fatty Feng with hope, hoping that he could figure out something through fortune telling.
As a result, Fatty Feng gave him a blank look. Fortune-telling is different from arithmetic!
Zhao Yue had no choice but to go into the study room of the villa alone and prepare to study alone.
Throughout the afternoon, he searched for a lot of information about "The Beheaded Queen" on the Internet.
Lots of information!
But Zhao Yue looked at it for a long time and couldn't see any reason!
This information doesn’t seem to be helpful!
"This guy, what kind of riddles are you giving me! I'm really going crazy!"
Zhao Yue lay on the office chair and kicked the wall. The wheeled office chair immediately slid backwards under the force.
He felt melancholy. What bothered him the most was this kind of guessing that required brain power!
Keep it simple, isn't it?
"Why is this guy so confident that I will take the initiative to help him, and he actually left such a complicated puzzle for me to guess!"
Zhao Yue covered his face with his hands and gently pulled it down.
He read the information all afternoon and found nothing!
I know a lot about "The Beheaded Queen"!
After working for several hours, but in vain, Zhao Yue couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, so he had to put it aside in advance.
Guessing riddles is really not my strong point.
Since the news says that the safe house has been established, let’s start with the safe house.
After all, the location of this villa is too close to City B!
Just outside of city B.
Although we have not been attacked by monsters or infected people now, if we are not safe, a group of them will come one day and call at the door!
The villa has no defense measures, only a few walls and iron gates.
In order to enhance the viewing experience, some walls are made of wood and have no defensive function!
It is indeed dangerous for everyone to stay here!
That night, Zhao Yue called everyone together and held a small meeting.
Everyone expressed their opinions and expressed their thoughts and plans for the future.
To sum up, here are a few points:
1. First move the base and go to the safe house.
2. Discuss how to live better in the future.
3. Vow to become stronger and avenge my sister!
Needless to say, the last point was naturally brought up by Lan Bingxu, and then Zhao Yue added another one, how to avenge everyone!
Everyone was very efficient and the meeting was short, less than half an hour.
Everyone unanimously decided to set off immediately tomorrow and rush to the safe house!
The location of the safe house is a bit far away, near a village far away from City B.
The neighborhood is desolate, with few trees, and the surrounding area is undulating and surrounded by mountains!
The road up the mountain is steep and has the advantage of being easy to defend but difficult to attack!
This place was deliberately chosen by Zhao Yue.
What he took a fancy to was the desolation and precipitousness of this place!
As for the nearby village, Zhao Yue specifically checked it online.
The village is sparsely populated.
Because the road leading to the village is extremely difficult, the village's economy has not experienced any growth for many years and it has been in a state of poverty.
Even now, many people still live in mud houses built with thatched grass. It is not an exaggeration to call it a Taoyuan from another world!
With the development of satellite networks, villages have been connected to the Internet.
Many young people in the village have gradually become aware of the high-rise buildings and busy traffic in the outside world through the Internet!
Slowly, more and more young people choose to leave the village and go to the outside world, never to return.
Over time, until now, there are only gray-haired old people and a few children left in the village.
As for young people, there are only a handful of them.
Most of the children of these old people are filial. After becoming famous outside, they want to take the old people away and send them to live in the city.
It's just that these old people have long been accustomed to rural life.
The prosperity of the big city, the millions of intricate roads, and the tedious process of getting on the bus make them feel hesitant.
Some old people return and choose to stay in their hometown.
Perhaps falling leaves returning to their roots is the destination they really want.
What Zhao Yue wanted was a village like this, with not many people and a remote location.
This not only ensures that not too many infected people appear, but also ensures that no one will notice this place and prevent them from being disturbed.
Zhao Yue could only sigh that such a place was a perfect place of refuge!
While Zhao Yue was busy, a message ringtone suddenly rang from his cell phone.
The first thing he thought of was whether Zeng Zhiwen had sent any more messages?
Looking confused, Zhao Yue opened the message interface of the mobile phone software.
A cute sheep-headed avatar appears in the top column of the chat box, and there is an unread message prompt next to it.
"Save me!" The sender is from Zhang Ni.
A strange color flashed in Zhao Yue's eyes.
I instantly thought of Zhang Ni’s charming and enchanting figure.
Zhao Yue knew her, but Zhao Yue kidnapped her in order to get information about her parents!
After the giant earth wolf appeared, the relationship between the two changed somewhat.
Moreover, Zhang Ni also helped Zhao Yue with a small favor when he joined the research base.
After the two separated later, there was no further contact.
If she suddenly sent such a message to herself, she might be in a bad situation.
Remembering that she had helped him earlier, Zhao Yue immediately replied with a message asking for her location.
It took about three minutes before Zhang Ni responded with a message.
Not in city B?
In Yunding Mountain?
Zhao Yue looked at the location sent by Zhang Ni and frowned slightly.
He knew the location of Yunding Mountain. It was just north of City B. It was a mountain peak that few people went to.
There is also a temple on the top of the mountain called Yunding Temple, also known as Old Yunding Temple.
Since the temple was relocated, the old temple is no longer maintained, but there are still a few monks left.
When Zhao Yue went there a few years ago, the buildings inside the temple were highly aged, and the Buddhist statues and scriptures on the pavilions were so mottled that they were completely unclear.
At that time, there were only two red-robed monks in the temple. One monk was kneeling in front of the Buddha and chanting sutras, while the other monk was cleaning the fallen leaves on the stone floor.
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Yue informed everyone and rushed towards Yunding Mountain without stopping.
Yunding Mountain is almost twenty kilometers away from the suburban villa.
It was already night, the moon was sparse, and monsters' roars could be heard from time to time in the mountains in the distance.
Zhao Yue's speed was much faster than ordinary people. Running with all his strength, it only took about an hour to reach the foot of Yunding Mountain.
He quickly glanced at the stone steps leading up the mountain. There were many monsters lying on both sides of the road.
There were bullet marks on the monster's body, and it was obvious that a battle had taken place here.
It seems that the situation is much worse than I expected.
Zhao Yue stopped lingering and quickly ran towards the top of the mountain with quick steps like flying.
His figure was like a ghost in the darkness, and he was extremely fast, moving several meters forward in the blink of an eye.
Keep going along the stone steps and soon approach the top of the mountain.
The corpses of monsters on the stone steps became increasingly rare, until finally there were only a few.
Zhao Yue frowned, feeling strange.
It's just that now is not the time to think about this. When I see Zhang Ni, I will naturally understand the cause and effect.
A dilapidated and aging temple appeared in front of Zhao Yue. The tall and thick walls on both sides were mottled. The red paint almost fell off, leaving only white potholes.
In the middle is a tall wooden door made of oak. It is old and has cracks around it.
A trace of golden warm light came out from inside.
Zhao Yue slowly pushed the door open and entered.
The attics on both sides of the temple are towering. Although they are decayed, you can still feel the majesty and solemnity, like giant Buddhas standing silently.
The ground is made up of irregular rocks. There are already many cracks on the surface of the rocks, and dark green moss has grown on the edges.
On the ground directly opposite the gate, several thick pieces of wood were staggered and lit into a bonfire.
The warm and bright firelight flickered and swayed, dispelling the surrounding darkness and casting a layer of golden color on the surrounding buildings.
Next to the campfire sits a woman.
Her eyebrows were picturesque, her green jade fingers supported her fair face, and her starry eyes stared into the firelight, as if thinking.
The whole person looked stunning, like a fairy in a painting.
The sound of the door opening caught her attention, and she turned to look.
But they saw a man with a red-lined stone tower on his chest and a black mechanical watch on his left hand standing in front of the door with a confused expression.
When she saw Zhao Yue, a flash of light flashed in her eyes, and she whispered with a slight smile: "You're here."
Zhao Yue was surprised, he almost didn't recognize the other party.
Is this Zhang Ni?
At this time, Zhang Ni no longer had the charming feeling before, but had a more feminine temperament.
A completely different person than before.
"You don't seem to be in any danger." Zhao Yue frowned, his expression not very good.
"Want to eat barbecue? I baked it myself." Zhang Ni seemed not to notice the change in Zhao Yue's attitude. She stretched her white arms to the box wrapped in tinfoil at her feet and took out a bunch of barbecue that was charred on the outside and tender on the inside. It smelled very fragrant.
Her eyes curved into crescent shapes, and she handed the barbecue in her hand to Zhao Yue.
Zhao Yue did not take the barbecue, but just looked at her quietly for a few seconds, his expression turned cold, and he said coldly: "Since you have nothing to do, I'll leave first."
This woman is really interesting, she came all the way here in such a hurry.
But here she is barbecuing!
Zhao Yue felt a little angry, but he was quickly suppressed.
Zhang Ni's arm froze in mid-air and slowly retracted it.
Zhao Yue turned around and planned to leave.
She was seen hugging her knees with her hands and looking at the bonfire quietly.
Just when Zhao Yue stepped out of the threshold, Zhang Ni suddenly spoke up in a soft and gentle tone: "Zhao Yue, I miss you..."
"I don't know why, but since you left, I can't help but think of you."
"When I was in the underground base, I saw that you were about to be exposed, and I was frightened. I was afraid that your identity would be exposed."
"In desperation, I screamed to divert their attention."
"I didn't know why I did it at the time, but I just did it."
"Am I stupid?"
"Later, when you gave me the blue potion, I was really happy. I was so happy that I couldn't sleep all night."
Zhang Ni seemed like an abandoned child, sitting alone by the fire and talking softly to herself.
Zhao Yue's steps slowed down, but his eyes were cold.
After a long time, Zhao Yue slowly turned around and looked at Zhang Ni.
Zhang Ni felt something in her heart and turned to look at each other, with a slight blush on her cheeks.
"If you think this is fun, then please find someone else!"
"I don't have time to play with you here!"
