Two days after leaving Laoya Mountain, Lang Hua and his party finally arrived at the Huaiyu Mountain area in the southwest of Qianhu Plain.
This is already the easternmost side of the Kong family's sphere of influence, and it is also the most advanced position deep into the corpse-infested area.
Going further south is the mountainous area in northern Fujian controlled by the Zhou clan before the Human Corpse War.
The place where Lin Qian and Li Yishan fought was only a hundred kilometers away from here.
However, information was not smooth during the war, resulting in both parties not knowing the existence of the other party.
At the gathering place designated by the Kong family for everyone, Lang Hua met an unexpected person.
He was wearing a well-dressed high-lapel tuxedo, a white double-wing collar dress shirt, and black leather boots. He stood as straight as a pine tree, looking like a medieval European gentleman who had stepped out of TV.
But under this completely Western-style dress, there is a natural oriental face.
The face is thin under the gray hair, and the lips are tightly pursed, as thin as a blade, looking straight at Lang Hua like an eagle.
At this time Lang Hua was also looking back at him.
"Gu family, Gu Cheng." Lang Hua said word by word.
It was really beyond Lang Hua's expectation to meet someone from the Gu family on such an occasion, and it was Gu Cheng who didn't leave a good impression on him.
In Lang Hua's past life memory, the Gu family had never left Shanhaiguan three years before the end of the world.
Not to mention crossing the river to participate in this Jiangnan battle.
During this encounter, I really didn’t know whether the other person was an enemy or a friend.
If the other party has malicious intentions, Lang Hua will never sit still and wait for death.
"City Lord Lang, long time no see."
Seeing Lang Hua recognize him, Gu Cheng's lips curved into a smile.
He took a few steps forward, held Lang Hua's hand enthusiastically, and greeted:
"We should treat each other with admiration after three days of separation. Lord Lang, we haven't seen each other for a year."
"Gu..."
Lang Hua was waiting for a reply when he suddenly felt an inexplicable force coming from the opponent's palm.
This force seemed to contain majestic evolutionary crystal energy, which instantly numbed Lang Hua's right hand.
After that, the energy wanted to attack along Lang Hua's arm, but was accidentally shaken away by Lang Hua's cold snort.
"Mr. Gu Cheng, it's been a long time since we last met."
Lang Hua used the fifth-level crystal energy to repel the dark energy exerted by Gu Cheng. A trace of surprise flashed in the latter's eyes, and he quickly returned to normal.
The two of them clasped their hands in the field, both with smiles in their eyes but motionless.
This scene made everyone feel strange.
The next moment, other people in the venue suddenly felt a little stuffy.
Those with keen spiritual abilities present have noticed that there are two invisible and qualityless potential fields taking shape in the air.
The two potential fields expanded rapidly, sweeping the crystal energy in the air and crushing each other. In the end, they actually caused a strong wind to roar, blowing everyone left and right.
Just when someone strong here wanted to stop them, Lang Hua and his two men suddenly stopped their momentum.
At the moment when the potential field dissipated, several low-level ability users accompanying him not far away fell to the ground with a "plop".
They were weak and were actually stunned by this pressure difference.
As soon as he stopped, Gu Cheng suddenly complimented: "City Master Lang is a young hero. I haven't seen him for many days, but he is already a fifth-level master. It's really gratifying to congratulate him."
These words immediately caused an uproar in the neighborhood.
Everyone knows that Lang Hua currently occupies the top spot on the Prism Platform Heavenly Ranking, and his strength is unfathomable. Unexpectedly, he is already a fifth-level ability user.
At a time when most people are only at the second and third levels, one can imagine how scarce a fifth-level ability user is.
As soon as Gu Cheng finished speaking, Lang Hua immediately threw out a shocking counterattack.
"The boy is not talented, but he has just stepped into the fifth level, and the old gentleman is better."
Lang Hua himself admitted that he was in the early stage of fifth level, but he immediately exposed Gu Cheng's background.
This shocked everyone speechless.
In the energy confrontation just now, Lang Hua could feel that the energy density of the other party and his were evenly matched. It could be said that they were almost equal.
Lang Hua was surprised at first, but he soon felt relieved.
Only he who has experienced his previous life knows how strong these aristocratic families really are.
In the two years since the black fog of spores first spread around the world, only
This group of people noticed the changes in the world and participated in them, embarking on the path of evolution early.
Among the major families, people like Gu Cheng who are powerful but disdain to participate in the Prism Ranking are by no means an exception.
Lang Hua was already used to it.
Hearing that both of them were fifth-level masters, the person who came to stop them was also shocked.
He was too nervous to pay attention just now, but then he realized that he had broken out in a cold sweat under the pressure of the potential field, and his back was chilled by the wind.
This person is none other than Kong Fan, the little overlord of Jiangdong, a fourth-level early stage ability user who is said to be unparalleled in spear and sword skills.
After Lang Hua and Gu Cheng stopped holding hands, he came to the two separated people, held his hands deeply and said:
"Chengdu Lang, Mr. Gu, peace is the most important thing in everything. There are many people here and there are many things to do. I have been entrusted by my uncle to take charge of the affairs here temporarily. I hope you two will not make things difficult for my nephew."
"Hahaha, my nephew is joking. City Master Lang and I hit it off like old friends, how could we be at odds?"
Gu Cheng laughed and said:
"Just now, I just had a whim and had a little competition with City Master Lang. City Master Lang, don't you think so?"
Lang Hua also nodded and said: "That's true. This time we are here to help the Kong family fight off the enemy. We will definitely not trouble Brother Kong Fan. Please don't worry."
"That being the case, it couldn't be better. I'll thank the two Jiangdong survivors first."
Kong Fan thanked him again and said: "City Lord Lang has come from afar, please come with me to the tent to rest first."
"good."
Lang Hua also heard about the farce at the Qinchuan Conference a year ago.
Compared with then, Kong Fan seems to have grown up a lot. Now he behaves appropriately, neither humble nor overbearing, giving people a mature and steady look.
It seems that during this year, Kong Lianyi continued to delegate power to his nephews and nephews, and has cultivated a good successor for the Kong family.
With this thought in mind, Lang Hua followed Kong Fan into the tent in the camp.
Several people were already sitting in the tent, and they were all unfamiliar faces to Lang Hua.
Kong Fan introduced them one by one, and he realized that these were some medium-sized power lords nearby.
Some of them lost their bases under the siege of the zombie tide, and had no choice but to take their remaining soldiers to the Kong family.
Some of them had their bases still in the rear, but considering that their lips were dying and their teeth were cold, they responded to the call of the Kong family and brought people to help in the battle.
After the introduction, Kong Fan let people chat with each other and left first because he had to deal with other matters in the camp.
Although Lang Hua is currently famous, he comes from a poor background and does not have any impressive background. Therefore, no one came to talk to him after waiting for half a cup of tea.
Among the lords, the one Lang Hua was most familiar with was Gu Cheng.
In order to exchange the information in their hands, he had to start talking to Gu Cheng first.
"Mr. Gu, you are outside the customs. You don't want to arrive earlier than us. You can be called a soldier with great speed."
"City Master Lang is so polite. We arrived in Daxing first after receiving the order from the CEO, and then took the transport plane from the Self-Administrative Committee headquarters to come here. I can't compare with your hard work along the way. City Master Lang led the people to show off their skills in Beihuang Mountain When we arrived, we had just landed near Huatan Town."
"Huatan Town? Isn't that the forefront of the battle line? Isn't it the location of the city of ten thousand people that was attacked by the zombie tide five days ago? I heard that the zombie tide there is particularly rampant. I think your army must have gone through a fierce battle. I wonder what happened along the way. reward?"
"I can't say it was a fierce battle, but this zombie wave was extremely cunning, and my subordinates suffered a lot when they met for the first time. Has City Master Lang heard about the super zombie king hidden behind this zombie wave?"
"I heard about it. Our troops were lucky enough to kill a million-level corpse king in the Northern Huangshan Mountains. Before he died, the guy uttered human words, saying that there was another king above him."
"Oh? Is this happening?"
Gu Cheng pondered for a moment and then said: "That's right. Our army defeated a medium-sized corpse group led by a corpse general in Dageling. However, because they were not familiar with the terrain during the retreat, they were almost killed by three large corpse groups. I made dumplings. After thinking about it, I always feel that these corpse generals do not have the wisdom to fight together, and there must be a big guy hiding behind them."
While the two were talking, the curtain of the big tent suddenly opened, and two young men wearing strong armor walked in from outside the tent.
They all looked the same, except that one of them had disheveled hair and was dressed ruggedly, while the other was neatly dressed.
return
The one thing they have in common is that they both have a lot of blood stains on their bodies and weapons. Judging from the color, they are from black corpses, and it was not long ago.
Lang Hua took a closer look at the two men and discovered that they were brothers Gu Shiyi and Gu Shishi, who had met at the Qinchuan Peace Conference a year ago.
When the two of them came closer, the elder brother Gu Shiyi nodded to Lang Hua first, then leaned over and whispered to Gu Cheng.
Seeing Gu Cheng's frown getting deeper and deeper, Lang Hua couldn't help but ask.
"Old sir, it seems to me that Brother Shi Yi and Brother Shi have just fought a fierce battle. I wonder if there is any new news out there."
Gu Cheng answered frankly: "Chengdu Lang, have you heard about the two new variants of 'frog type' and 'big tyrant' that appeared in the nuclear explosion zone at the beginning of the year?"
"Well, we encountered him before when we attacked the Corpse King in the Pillow Leaf Stone Forest of Beihuang Mountain. To be honest, it was very difficult to deal with."
"Yes, Quanzi and the others had a battle with these guys not long ago, and they didn't take any advantage."
"I heard that 'frogs' and 'big tyrants' always move with the corpse tide. How come these two types of guys appear at the foot of the mountain?" Lang Hua said, suddenly widening his eyes and lowering his voice, "Is it possible that the corpse tide has already arrived? here?"
Gu Cheng frowned and thought, then asked Gu Shiyi to answer.
"Shi Yi, come and talk to City Master Lang about the situation."
"Yes, father. To tell you the truth, Lord Lang, we have discovered traces of a large group of corpses ten kilometers north of Huaiyu Mountain this morning. Among the forward troops, there are many 'frogs' and 'giant' ones."
His younger brother Gu Shi also interjected: "We have sent more than ten scouts to the west, south and east, but we don't know what happened. Currently, only the scouts from the east have reported that there is no problem in the east. One from the other two directions No one came back."
"Disappearing at a time like this?"
Lang Hua suddenly stood up.
He looked at Gu Cheng and seemed to see the same concern in the other person's eyes.
Gu Cheng also whispered at this time: "I'm afraid these people are in danger. Times and periods have changed, and this matter is of great importance. You two should return to the army quickly and prepare for preparation. Remember not to let the news leak."
He looked around at the lords present and saw that they were still sitting there drinking tea and chatting as if they didn't know anything. He said to Lang Hua and the others, "I'll go find Kong Fan to discuss this." Then he walked out quickly. Go.
Lang Hua also said, "I'll go too." Ignoring everyone's suspicious looks, he and Gu Cheng walked out of the tent side by side.
The two quickly passed through the crowd outside the tent, and after exiting the crowd, they flew directly into the air towards Zuoying.
The evolvers and low-level ability users outside the tent were whispering to each other, but the two of them ignored these voices and flew away.
"Hey, let me go. Didn't it say that flying over the camp is prohibited? The fifth-level powerhouse is awesome."
"That has to be a fifth-level ability user who can fly. I can't fly at all. Brother, you can fly, but you don't have the strength or the life to do it."
"My dear, are these two people at the fifth level? I have worked hard and hunted crystal nuclei to strengthen myself for two years, and now I have just touched the threshold of the third level. This is really..."
"Brother, I'm not as good as you. I have to support my family, and I've been stuck in the middle of the second level for a long time."
"It's true that comparing people to each other will lead to death, and comparing goods to goods will lead to throwing away..."
"Yes, if I hadn't heard that the rewards given out by the Kong family to those with abilities in the war are quite large, who would have risked their lives to come to this hellish place."
"That's right, it's better to cross the river and go north to avoid disaster. Did you hear? After the Zhao family blew up the bridge, the tide of corpses had no way to go north."
"Really? Then should we also..."
"Hush! Brother, please be careful. If the Kong family's supervisor hears this, he will be treated as a deserter!"
"This damn thing, you'll be beheaded if you complain. It's really unreasonable. When you begged us to come, didn't you say you can come and go freely?"
"Well, for others, the strong ones are free to come and go. But for us, hey, we are free when we come, but not when we want to leave."
"His grandma, it's better to just have a zombie wave, take advantage of the chaos and escape as soon as possible, and leave this ghost place as soon as possible."
"Okay, okay, brother, you have said enough. People in this world have to bow their heads under the roof."
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything. I can't afford to offend you, why can't I hide..."
