After making sure that no one was following him, Chu Xiang did not go back south directly, but headed southwest. When he was approaching the ghost town, the torrential rain for more than ten days finally stopped. There were sparkling ice crystals everywhere. After the rain froze, , but it’s not that cold anymore.
All the Yin Qi in the ghost town has disappeared, and many places in the space cracks have healed, but the places with larger cracks have not been completely closed.
The heavy rain had stopped. Chu Xiang found a cleaner house to stay, took off his clothes to dry, and began to think about how to deal with this specimen.
It is very risky to take it to Song Xiaoting for testing. The entire base is under surveillance. If the black hands know that Song Xiaoting is testing zombie specimens, Song Xiaoting will most likely be eliminated. But besides Song Xiaoting, Chu Xiang really can't find anyone else. Where can I get this specimen tested?
For safety reasons and to prevent being tracked and located, Chu Xiang did not bring his mobile phone. After thinking about it for a while, after drying his clothes, Chu Xiang transferred to Qingcheng.
Qingcheng is a big city and has not been attacked by nuclear bombs. Although it is not as good as the current scene of Wucheng, it is not far behind. A million people have lived in Qingcheng for a long time.
If the winter hadn't been too cold, Qingcheng's population might have been larger than Wucheng's. Qingcheng is surrounded by mountains, and there are many wild animals in the mountains. A river flows in the middle of the city. There are abundant fish in the river, and the food is much more abundant than Wucheng. Unlike Wucheng, many people can only eat human flesh when the situation is bad.
Like Wucheng, after the great changes, Qingcheng built a large city that was easy to defend and difficult to attack by virtue of its geographical location. The newly built city was located in Qingzhong District, surrounded by rivers on three sides, and a steel bar four to five kilometers long and twenty meters high was built on the other side. The concrete city wall isolates the entire area from the outside, and most access is via viaducts crossing the river.
But that was in the past, and Qingcheng is very different now. Due to successive years of falling temperatures, the river is frozen for most of the year, unable to stop the intrusion of wild beasts, and the urban area has been formed, making it difficult to move. The military government of Qingcheng can only Reinforced concrete walls were also built along the river, forming the current state of a besieged city.
Towering viaducts extend in all directions. Entering Qingcheng from the viaduct, overlooking the city below, Chu Xiang was speechless. The city below has not changed much. It has remained roughly the same as before. You can tell where it is and where it is at a glance. Qingcheng Chu Xiang is very familiar with it. He has studied almost every street and every building carefully.
A hungry beast crossed the frozen river and wanted to find some food in the city. However, it didn't know that the people in the city were also going crazy with hunger. Before it could cross the river, countless people were staring at it.
The ten-meter-high city wall along the river is full of people waiting for the beast to attack. When the beast is close, they will slide down the wall with a rope, quickly kill the beast, and then return to the wall from the rope. Some brave ones wore skates and flew across the wide river. The sharp ice blades left scratches on the ice, killing the beasts in the distance, and then returned to the wall.
Whenever a brave person skates alone to a distant place and kills a beast and brings it back, there will be waves of cheers from the wall. Sometimes those generous hunters will cut off some meat and throw it to the cheerers on the wall to win them over. Bigger cheers.
In the distance of the viaduct, there was a rumble of a motorcade rushing back, and the sound of joy came from afar. It was the motorcade returning home with full loads. When they heard the sound on the viaduct, the people on the wall shouted loudly, making those who returned safely feel full of pride.
There are soldiers guarding the front. In order to prevent large groups of wild beasts from attacking the city from the viaduct, once a large group of wild beasts attack, the modified bridge can pull up the bridge deck at any time to form a gap to isolate the wild beasts outside.
Like Wucheng, these soldiers guarding the entrance will not check the identity of the people entering or leaving unless they see someone suspected of being a red notice.
Of course Chu Xiang is not a red notice, at least not now.
Seeing that Chu Xiang was carrying a beast but without a weapon, the guarding soldiers took a few more looks. There were many people going out to hunt, and there were often hunters like Chu Xiang who came back with a full load, but they did not carry weapons, and it was rare for them to have such a leisurely attitude, so the soldiers took a second look.
Chu Xiang took the prey and exchanged it for a mobile phone in a store selling electronic products. Although the boss did not make any money, the dozens of kilograms of prey were enough for the boss and his family to eat for several days. It was much more cost-effective than a real money transaction, and his face was also He smiled more, picked a fully charged battery and installed it, and also gave Chu Xiang a charger.
He called Gongsun Qi and told him about the specimen. Gongsun Qi understood that the matter was very troublesome and asked Chu Xiang to wait for his news before hanging up the phone.
The familiar streets were filled with people coming and going in an endless stream. After wandering around for half an hour, Chu Xiang unknowingly found that he had arrived at the most familiar place again.
Familiar streets, familiar facades, and the gate of the community are still the same as before. There is no change. The difference is that there is an extra square in front, and a thick marble monument stands in the middle of the square.
Looking blankly at the stone tablet in the middle of the square, the words on the stone tablet gradually became clear to Chu Xiang's eyes, and five big characters printed into Chu Xiang's mind: Monument to Chu Kun.
"Chu Kun, Chu Kun Monument!..." As he murmured the words on the monument, Chu Xiang suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, laughing so hard that tears flowed down his face, and his sad laughter shook all directions.
The people around looked at the laughing Chu Xiang inexplicably. They didn't know why this man was so sad. They couldn't help but murmured a few times out of curiosity. Could this man have lost his mind and gone crazy?
Suddenly Chu Xiang stepped forward and punched, and the five or six-meter-high marble monument collapsed. Smoke and dust flew everywhere. Chu Xiang punched again, smashing the three characters of the monument into pieces, leaving only the two characters "Chu Kun" intact. Then with a heavy meal, the entire foundation of the stone tablet fell apart.
"What qualifications do you have to erect this monument?" Chu Xiang sneered, silently looking at the two characters "Chu Kun" on the stone, turned around and walked away, glanced at the six characters "Chu Kun Memorial Square" on the sign next to him, and slapped the sign with another palm. Got to be pulpy.
Witnessing the whole process, the people around were stunned. When the people living in the community came to their senses, Chu Xiang had already walked away.
When a group of young people from the community arrived, there was only a pile of broken stones left in the square. Stones engraved with the characters Chu and Kun lay quietly among the ruins, as if to mock their incompetence.
"Whoever knocked down the monument, find him and cut him into pieces." A strong, long-haired young man looked at the words "Chu Kun" in the ruins with a gloomy face, and said these words from between his teeth, full of murderous intent. .
"Yes, Brother Hua." The other young people said angrily.
People who witnessed the incident immediately told the group of young people. Enthusiastic passers-by immediately pointed Chu Xiang in the direction to leave and led a group of people to catch up.
Chu Xiang didn't go far and sat on a few trees by the side of the road. He just wiped away his tears, but when he thought of his dead brother, tears flowed out unconsciously.
He hates him so much that even if he pours all the water in the river, he can't wash it away. He didn't hate others, he hated himself. Why didn't he arrive two days earlier? If he had arrived two days earlier, this wouldn't have happened.
The Great Wall has ended in loess, but the heroes' fame will last forever.
Why am I telling you these things? What are the bad things to say? But these are the things. What's the use of living forever? I just want you to be alive and kicking now, not the two words engraved on the stone tablet.
Hero, what kind of hero do you want to be? Why is it you and not someone else?
Heaven is jealous of talented people, and won’t they live longer? Fuck that shit.
Tears kept flowing down, and the out-of-control emotions could not hold on to the changed muscles. He slowly returned to his original appearance, and his slightly thicker frame made the training uniform bulge.
"That's him." Someone pointed at Chu Xiang and shouted.
A group of people surged forward and surrounded Chu Xiang under the tree. The raging anger seemed to burn Chu Xiang to ashes.
"Go away." Chu Xiang shouted suddenly, the strong energy overflowed, and the strong wind stirred up. Immediately, several people were shocked to the point of bleeding, and they staggered to the ground. The remaining people retreated one after another, looking at the man sitting under the tree with tears streaming down his face in shock. people.
There are always many people in this world who are not afraid of death. When they heard that there was a lot of excitement here, a large group of people immediately gathered around them.
"Chu Xiang." Someone suddenly shouted in shock.
"It's really Demon Lord Chu Xiang." Someone said in panic.
"Chu Xiang and Chu Kun Memorial Square!" Someone seemed to have figured out something and was suddenly horrified.
Recognizing Chu Xiang's identity, some people in the crowd were shocked and some were happy, but whether they were happy or scared, seeing Chu Xiang's current appearance, everyone chose to retreat and stay far away from the man sitting under the tree. No one would I doubt that this man sitting on the tree will suddenly kill someone at any time. He looks so terrifying.
"Brother Hua, he is Brother Kun's brother." A young man with scars on his head and face whispered to the long-haired young man.
"Chu Xiang, Chu Kun, I should have thought a long time ago that for such a god as Brother Kun, how could his brother be a nobody." The strong young man with long hair sighed, suddenly stepped forward and knelt down.
"Brother Hua." The young man with long hair was surprised by his actions, and other young people who came together shouted in low voices.
Seeing this, the young man with scars all over his head and face stepped forward without hesitation and knelt down a little behind the long-haired young man.
The actions of the two people surprised the onlookers. Looking at the sitting Demon Lord and the young man who quickly rose to dominate, no one dared to say anything. This long-haired young man is well-known in Qingcheng for his ruthless and decisive actions. He will avenge himself and kill him if he has any grudges. The young men under his command are all life-threatening masters, but they are also sophisticated in their methods. Even the military government cannot find them. If you get the handle, if you accidentally anger this person, you will be in big trouble.
After the young man with scars all over his head and face knelt down, a dozen young men who followed him and surrounded Chu Xiang all knelt down. Several people who had fallen down with bleeding from their seven orifices also knelt there with support.
Chu Xiang suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed. The sad laughter continued for a long time, and suddenly one word burst out of his mouth: "Get out."
