The next day, early morning.
Golden sunshine covered the earth, and a black taxi appeared at the end of the road in the distance, roaring and roaring.
Ge Shu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, twisted his butt unnaturally. Ever since he saw Li Kui feeding dozens of evil spirits to the car, he always felt on pins and needles.
Looking up at the rearview mirror, I saw the little baby girl lying on the back seat, biting her fingers, and bubbles popping out of her mouth from time to time. Next to her stood a doll made of paper, with dark eyes like a living thing. It spun around and let out weird laughter from time to time.
"..."
"Uncle, what is that thing?"
Ge Shu was a little curious. As soon as he got in the car this morning, he saw this thing next to the little baby girl.
Li Kui yawned and didn't reply.
The surrogate paper man, worth five merit points, can withstand a fatal attack for the owner, including a series of negative states such as curses. It can be regarded as a farewell gift to his little baby girl.
Seeing that Li Kui didn't answer what he meant, Ge Shu took it for granted and looked at the scenery passing by outside the window. He couldn't help but feel distressed. When Li Kui and the baby girl entered the City of Hope, what should he do?
You must know that the City of Hope is really separated from Mushui Town by thousands of mountains and rivers. He is weak and has no car. How can he get back this way?
The thought of this.
Ge Shu felt as if his head was going to explode, his face suddenly became sad, he pursed his lips and looked at Li Kui pitifully.
"Turn away!"
"ah?"
"It's so ugly, it affects my mood!"
"oh."
Ge Shu felt aggrieved, but did not dare to say anything, so he could only sigh quietly.
Suddenly he thought about whether he could go find that beautiful woman. When they parted, they chatted quite happily. However, she had a husband-in-law and had just given birth to a child. Wouldn't it be a good idea to go and seek refuge with her?
Uh-huh!
The taxi came to a sudden stop.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Ge Shu asked anxiously, covering his head that hit the car window.
"Is there a walled city ahead on the map?"
Li Kui narrowed his eyes slightly and asked softly.
"Fortress?"
Ge Shu muttered and looked up ahead.
But I saw an abandoned walled city standing in the middle of the road, separated by two barriers covered with iron spikes. There were high platforms on the left and right sides, and figures with guns could be vaguely seen guarding and patrolling.
"Let me see, let me see!"
Ge Shu took out the hand-drawn map from his bag and looked at it carefully. His brows gradually furrowed. He glanced at Li Kui and smiled awkwardly: "It seems that this is another new change in the past few years. After all, it was a long time ago... …”
"Um."
Li Kui has long been accustomed to strange things.
The map drawn by Ge Shu made him take many wrong turns. In fact, it was a helpless move. He could not find a better map to replace it along the way.
"Uncle, do you think there will be an outpost of the City of Hope ahead?" Ge Shu looked at it for a few times and said cautiously.
"You're free!" Li Kui glanced at Ge Shu.
"ah?!"
"Why, you still want to follow me?" Li Kui couldn't help but laugh, "Further ahead is the City of Hope. If you follow me again, if I don't kill you, they will kill you too!"
"Well, uncle, I'm leaving, please take care of yourself!"
Ge Shu glanced at Li Kui. This is definitely not because he is reluctant to leave, but because he has not yet thought clearly about where he should go, and appears extremely hesitant and undecided.
The door opens automatically.
"Take care of yourself!"
Li Kui said sincerely.
Ge Shu burrowed into the ground like smoke, but went directly into the underworld.
at this time.
The walled city finally discovered the car parked on the road in the distance. People on the high platform shouted, and three old, dilapidated trucks rushed out of the fence and roared towards Li Kui.
The distance quickly closed.
Noisy slang accompanied by billowing smoke and dust surrounded Li Kui. Three heavy machine guns were pointed at Li Kui. The men holding the guns above were all men with vicious faces, their eyes were red, and they were gibbering without knowing what to say.
then.
A clean-looking man got out of the car and went straight to the car window. He first glanced at Li Kui, and then looked at the little baby girl lying on the back seat.
Li Kui narrowed his eyes slightly, and he could clearly see the change in the man's eyes.
There was scrutiny on him, and when he looked at the back seat, his gaze first turned from surprise to surprise, a surprise that he had yet to understand.
"Brother, where did it come from?"
The man took out a cigarette case, mixed a cigarette and gave it to Li Kui: "Your child?"
Li Kui didn't answer.
"Mine. I wonder if this is the City of Hope?"
"Of course, we are an outpost here." The man shrugged slightly and started to smoke without paying attention. "But we have requirements here. If you want to enter the city, you need to stay here for ten days for quarantine inspection!"
"Ten days?"
"right!"
Li Kui still looked vigilant and asked in a questioning tone: "How can I trust you?"
"If you don't believe us, you can just drive away."
The man exhaled a puff of smoke, his eyes still lingering on the little baby girl, and said firmly: "The rules are the rules. If you want to enter the city, you must follow our rules. Think carefully!"
After Li Kui looked around, he took in the expressions of these people, licked his lips, and nodded vigorously: "Okay, sure!"
As soon as he said this, the man's mouth curled up, revealing a few black teeth, and he stretched out his hand.
Immediately, someone pulled out a smoke bomb on the truck parked in the center, and a thick plume of black smoke suddenly rose up.
"Let's go!"
The man said hello and immediately returned to the car. One of the trucks followed Li Kui, and the other trucks started slowly and drove towards the walled city.
"Open the door, open the door!"
The iron gate slowly opened, revealing the inside of the walled city.
There are four buildings in total, two on the left and two on the left, four stories high. The exterior walls are earthy yellow. The overall look is quite dilapidated and dirty. The corridor in the middle is very cramped, and there is a faint unpleasant smell in the air.
"The car is parked here, don't worry, no one will touch it."
It was still the same man. He watched Li Kui take out a shotgun and a long knife from the car, his eyes flashed, and he said with a smile:
"You have to give this gun to us!"
"gun?"
Li Kui fixed the little baby girl on his chest, showed her a gentle smile, and then looked up at the man: "Don't you need this knife?"
"Knife..." The man looked at the long knife, looked at Li Kui again, and said with a hearty smile: "No need, after all, after ten days of isolation and inspection, we will become comrades in arms. !”
Li Kui raised his lips and showed a kind smile.
"Let's go, I'll take you to where you live."
The man leads the way.
"ah--"
A woman-like struggling roar came from the far corner.
The two of them paused.
But I saw a woman with disheveled hair and a bruised face running out from the corner, but soon four or five people surrounded her, tied her up, and dragged her away.
"This is?"
Li Kui's expression was slightly stunned.
"The stranger, we bumped into him yesterday when we were searching for supplies, and he killed many of us."
The man's eyes narrowed slightly, his murderous intent evident.
"oh."
Li Kui was thoughtful and immediately asked another question: "If the outpost is set up here, won't we be afraid of attacks from the living corpses of Yaksha?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a scream in the distance, followed by an explosion.
The man raised his eyebrows and smiled:
"We still maintain a fairly high-tech civilization, and those yashas and living corpses will be blown to pieces by cannonballs if they get close enough!"
Li Kui narrowed his eyes and smiled brightly.
