Between the cycle of life and death.
The palace of reincarnation.
Compared to other survivors.
Li Guodong, who lives with a pair of children, is undoubtedly lucky.
After entering the Palace of the Past, many survivors, no matter how they were treated, received something extremely precious in the last days: shelter.
Safe haven.
Protection from the zombie monsters.
In the apocalypse, human life is like duckweed.
This kind of protection is particularly valuable.
Especially when the person in charge of the Palace of Purity: the high priest, has repeatedly asked the management personnel of each department not to eat cards and bully the masses, and has provided super high treatment to the management personnel at different levels.
Due to various factors, there has never been any bullying in the Palace of Purity.
All these have enhanced the 'value' of the 'sanctuary quota' in the Palace of the Past to some extent.
And the most significant change brought about by this sublimation is.
The surviving survivors in the city all have a fond impression of the Palace of the Rebirth, which they only hear their voices but never see their faces.
Coupled with the behavior of the skeletons who only cleared away but left supplies to them.
Coupled with the militarized high-pressure management in the military safety zone circulated on the Internet.
And, the survivors who escaped from other survivor forces said that they lived like pigs and dogs, letting others beat and scold them and not knowing what the future would bring.
Under various factors,
The Palace of Purity in Shushan District is a great place!
This has become the concept of many survivors.
In fact, what they didn't know was that they almost lived like pigs and dogs.
The senior managers of the Palace of Purity once did not know where they got the costumes for cosplay.
There are military uniforms and ancient royal robes.
Regardless of whether it is because of the high priest's imperial robes, they, the senior executives, can also break the earth and become kings.
It was still out of a show of goodwill towards the high priest, to flatter him.
They just forced the royal robe onto the high priest.
No matter how much the high priest shouts: 'Oh! You are trying to harm me! '
The senior executives always believed that this was just a humble resignation from the high priest, so they became more determined in their efforts to "persuade him to ascend the throne."
Unfortunately, they didn't succeed.
Because what they didn't know was that what the high priest said at that time was not just a refusal as shown in the TV series.
Those words were the true words of the high priest, but unfortunately, all the executives at the time thought they were rejections.
Then, the high priest used the magic scepter given to him by the military to kill one of the leaders.
Under the harsh tactics, everyone was stunned.
Many middle and high-level people in the Palace of Purity don’t understand.
At this moment, in troubled times, among princes, generals and ministers, would you rather be kind?
Our Palace of Purity has the Skeleton God as its backing, and it has a very close relationship with the military. The military often comes to send us supplies.
So, what happens if an armed separatist regime becomes the emperor of the country?
Who can do anything to us?
The old era has ended long ago, and the new era will begin in our Palace of Purity!
The high priest only said one sentence at that time: I am only exercising authority on behalf of the temple master. I will not have any interest in the world in this life. I will devote my life to the great temple master: the Skeleton Temple!
Since then, many executives seemed to have understood something, and no one dared to talk about it again.
Even more dare not bully ordinary survivors like Li Guodong at will.
But, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
Some things are inevitable.
While other survivors huddled in the shelter of the Palace of the Past to survive all day long.
Li Guodong, a middle-aged man who was doing nothing and thought he had wasted half his life, woke up at this time!
He told himself countless times that under the changes in the world, the chosen one will surely become the speaker of the new world in the future.
But everyone is the chosen one, how can we stand out?
Gain experience and level up!
Get equipment and improve your combat power!
Get props and improve your skills!
None of the three clear paths before us could be taken by Li Guodong, a belated survivor.
Corpse beasts in the city are already very rare and even extinct, and demon species, if you pull out a sub-level at random, they will all start at the bronze level.
However, the average level of the vast majority of survivors is less than level five, and most are around level four.
The hierarchical gap once again crushed Li Guodong's idea of making the old Li family stand out.
However, Li Guodong did not give up.
More than a month ago, after spending a lot of materials and asking around, Li Guodong learned a piece of news.
The high priest launched a sharp-edged talent training program: This program recruits school-age children between the ages of five and thirteen. Because it is an elite education, the number of places is limited.
The deputy director of the Department of Jade Women taught these children how to make up their faces, think about their psychology, and dress up their appearance.
The Director and Deputy Director of the Department of Transportation taught these children how to drive and repair various types of vehicles, conduct map and terrain survey, etc.
The deputy director of the Department of Agricultural Sciences taught these children plant and herb identification, poison synthesis, environmental analysis, etc.
The deputy director of the Judgment Department taught these children the doctrine of the Palace of Rebirth and other matters.
The deputy director of the Demon Hunting Department teaches these children unarmed combat, mastery of cold weapons, identification of monster habits, modification of hot weapons and survival in the wild, etc.
And the most important point is that every month the high priest will send out the entire demon hunting department, led by the director, to lead the children of this 'elite class' to go out and kill the demon species in actual combat!
You know, that is a demon species!
Even if you can't get a kill, you can just get an assist, and your level will jump up like a rocket!
Not to mention that all disciplines are occupied by real managers of various departments in the Palace of Purity, so there will be many advantages in terms of connections in the future.
The fact that it can be upgraded alone is enough for Li Guodong, a middle-aged man, to give it a try!
Unfortunately, he and his son were overage and could not enter this 'elite class'.
But, his daughter is just the right age!
According to the information Li Guodong learned from the Population Section of the Logistics Department, there are currently more than 100 school-age children in the Palace of the Past.
The elite class will be divided into countless small classes for teaching.
Li Guodong naturally wanted his daughter to enter a small class taught by the director.
In order to allow my daughter to enter this small class.
More than a month ago, Li Guodong led his son deep into the city regardless of danger.
Just to get some supplies and please the big shots in charge of statistics and assessment.
All the survivors who live under the protection of the Palace of the Past know that upgrading is a good thing and can bring about an improvement in status.
But the city is too dangerous and they cannot upgrade. They can only live under the protection of the Palace of the Past as what the high priest calls an 'important cornerstone'.
No one was optimistic about the deep dive between father and son.
No one thought they would come back alive.
Including the father and son, they also think so.
But by accident.
Li Guodong and his son not only came back alive, but also brought back a large amount of rich supplies!
Because Li Guodong met someone.
A tall, muscular man in black wearing sunglasses!
That man has a flaming silver sword in his hand!
Any kind of demon can't survive a move in the hands of the man in black, and will be killed with a sword!
People are different, and for Li Guodong, materials can change his destiny.
But the man in black didn't even look at it. He just took the harvest and dragged the demon's body away.
Only Li Guodong and his son were left with silly smiles facing the supermarket with abundant supplies.
Later, Li Guodong, who is a responsible person, always felt that he should thank others.
After all, if there were no men in black, there would be no gains for the father and son.
But how to thank?
The man in black's behavior of not asking for supplies clearly means that he does not care about those things.
Li Guodong also had a flash of inspiration and thought of a good idea.
Don’t you like those foods such as vacuum cooked food, tobacco and alcohol?
It doesn't matter!
You should always like fresh vegetables, right?
Since the end of the world, fresh vegetables have disappeared, and the vegetables in supply stores have long rotted.
A small number of people can supplement their vitamins by taking vitamin tablets.
For most people, even eating enough is a fantasy, let alone nutritious meals and vitamin supplements, which in turn causes the body to gradually suffer from some minor problems.
There happened to be a chosen one with plant-like skills in the Palace of the Past.
The director of the Department of Agricultural Sciences was able to turn seeds, seedlings, etc. into fresh vegetables in just two days!
The emergence of extraordinary power has replaced many fields.
Of course, the quantity of this fresh vegetable is limited.
Part of it is used to reward the senior officials of the Palace of Purity, and part is used as a reward for contribution points to those who have contributed to the Palace of Purity.
In order to thank the man in black, Li Guodong exchanged some tobacco and alcohol for contribution points after returning, and then exchanged them for fresh vegetables produced by the Agricultural Science Department of the Palace of Purity.
As for how to find the man in black?
Simple, the target of such a powerful Chosen One must be the Demon Seed!
Then the demon species are very fond of materials.
So Li Guodong and his son followed the safe road opened by the increasing number of skeletons and headed towards the place where they had previously encountered the man in black.
In this way, they got in touch with the man in black.
What pleased Li Guodong was that the man in black not only accepted the fresh vegetables, but also informed them again of a safe supply location!
Moreover, the man in black seems to be very interested in the Palace of Purity.
At that time, the father and son informed the man in black of the various reforms in the Palace of Purity.
Those notifications were basically full of praise.
As for some food cards?
Li Guodong, who has reached middle age, has long been polished by society and has lost his temper. He knows very well where there is no such thing. Unless he is lying down, there will always be these troublesome things wherever there are people.
The man in black didn't say anything after hearing about the Palace of Purity.
He just said: Come here every few days to deliver some fresh vegetables. In return for the transaction, he will inform Li Guodong of some information on the location of safe supplies.
Ever since, the road Li Guodong paved for his daughter took shape.
Yes, the big tree attracts the wind.
Countless people are thinking about Li Guodong who went out frequently and came back with a full load every time.
Most people were afraid of the demons lurking in the city, so they didn't do anything.
But there are always people who have some weird ideas.
For example, setting up an ambush in a safe place that has been cleared by skeletons can make a fool of yourself.
But the amazing thing is that those who ambush Li Guodong never succeeded.
But today, the man surnamed Zhang seemed to be waving to end Li Guodong's good luck.
"The harvest is good, Xiao Li, tell me, where did it come from?"
The man surnamed Zhang pursed his lips towards the red leather truck, and then asked Li Guodong, who was slightly embarrassed.
In terms of age, the man named Zhang is about twenty years younger than Li Guodong.
But in terms of status, it's not too much to call him Xiao Li, at least Li Guodong didn't think it was a big deal.
The man surnamed Zhang went straight to the point in his words without any politeness at all.
The high priest once said: As long as believers who go out can bring back the harvest, they only need to hand it over to the general public as tax, and the rest is personal property, and no one is allowed to ask about its source.
But obviously, when it comes down to it, the execution is not very good.
The embarrassed Li Guodong did not say this to protect himself. At this time, he said this to a man named Zhang who had real power and showed his fangs?
That is undoubtedly asking for trouble.
Li Guodong replied honestly: "Wanda, Carrefour, and the train station to the east of Yaohai District."
"Wait a minute!" The attendant man rubbed his bare forearms, and a cold wind blew, making his skin crawl.
The follower glanced disdainfully at the eldest son standing behind Li Guodong, and said sternly: "Yaohai District?"
"you are lying!"
The man who followed him took a step forward, waved the spear hanging by his side, patted Li Guodong on the shoulder and said: "The people of the Demon Hunting Division haven't opened up the territory yet, so it's just you? How did you get there?"
"I"
Before Li Guodong finished speaking, the man who followed him sternly said again: "Don't say that you followed the palace master's soldiers to sneak in!"
As early as a month ago, Qi Lin's skeletons took the city central train station as their starting point and headed east, because there were more demons there and the killing efficiency was higher.
As for the skeletons left in the northern Yaohai District, there were only a few scattered undead teams responsible for executing the back-end burial plan.
This news made the high priest burst into tears at the time.
Because when Qi Lin was in action, for the sake of efficiency, he mostly passed through the suspected locations of the demon species and then moved forward quickly.
As for his true body, he took Black Wind to the locations where different types of demons appeared and waited.
As a result, people like the high priest who wanted to follow Qi Lin's army and take advantage of it were dumbfounded.
Beyond the train station in the center of the city and across the entire city?
Someone from the military said a few days ago that the train station was very dangerous and that some weird demon species had appeared. It had been listed as a forbidden area for survivors.
If you, Li Guodong, had this ability, how long ago would you have been on the top of Shushan Mountain and been reused by the high priest, and why would you be at the bottom of the mountain?
Therefore, as most people thought, the man who followed Li Guodong must have discovered a material distribution point or warehouse in Shushan District.
How else to explain that he was able to safely bring back so many supplies?
The red leather truck didn't even have any scratches from the attack!
This shows that he was not attacked by monsters at all!
This shows that Li Guodong's material acquisition place is in the safe Shushan District!
"As early as a month ago, most of the palace master's soldiers marched eastward. Now you tell me that Yaohai in the north is protected by the palace master's soldiers."
The attendant man patted the shoulder of Li Guodong, who looked ugly but did not dare to speak: "You'd better think clearly before speaking."
Li Guodong was also in trouble at this moment. He didn't get the supplies in Shushan District at all.
If someone thinks it was taken in Shushan District, but he can't tell the specific location, then he's definitely not going to have a good life.
The man surnamed Zhang behind him also comforted him in a timely manner: "Relax, tell the local authorities, I will organize a convoy to pull over, and report it to the mountain when the time comes, and the first achievement will be credited to you."
"It's really the supplies we got from Yaohai District and the east side of the train station. There were a lot of supplies there, but no one took them." Li Guodong explained with tears in his eyes: "I met a man in black, and the elder brother had a handful of silver. The sword will burst into flames!"
When he finished saying this, the man who followed him became a little impatient. He felt that Li Guodong was lying.
Just as he was about to interrupt, the man named Zhang behind him felt a thump in his heart. He hurriedly stepped forward and secretly touched the follower's body to signal him not to speak.
"That big brother is very powerful. The demon species couldn't survive even one move on his sword and was hacked to death."
"He keeps looking for demons to kill, but he's not interested in supplies!"
Li Guodong said anxiously: "To thank him, I went to the Agricultural Science Department to buy a lot of fresh vegetables. The Agricultural Science Department must have records of this, you can check it!"
"Every time I change the vegetables, I will go to the previous place and wait for the big brother as soon as I am afraid that the vegetables will not be fresh."
"The eldest brother said that I gave him food, but he didn't take advantage of me. He told me where the supplies were safe, and then I took my son there to collect supplies. That's how it goes, Brother Zhang!"
"I really didn't lie!"
At this moment, the man who was following him got the hint and did not dare to say any more. He just pretended to light a cigarette and secretly glanced at the older brother with a gloomy expression next to him with his peripheral vision.
"You said that when you met a man in black, the silver sword would burst into flames." The man surnamed Zhang tried hard to recall a piece of information that the big shot above had told him, and asked cautiously: "What are you wearing?"
Li Guodong saw that the man surnamed Zhang paid great attention to the man in black. Although he didn't understand why, he still replied: "It's just an ordinary black sportswear, oh, and the face is covered with gold embroidery." A patterned face towel and sunglasses!”
As soon as Li Guodong finished speaking, he saw the man named Zhang enthusiastically holding Li Guodong's hand and heading towards Shushan: "You are really lucky to meet that adult!"
The sudden enthusiasm confused Li Guodong and his son.
The man next to him was also confused.
Aren’t we here to squeeze some money and exploit it?
Why do you think your eldest brother looks so enthusiastic and excited?
Could it be that there was something wrong with that man in black?
The follower man calmly kept up with his elder brother.
No matter what's wrong, just follow the big brother.
The three of them were led to Shushan in a daze by the man surnamed Zhang.
And where they passed, the cold wind blew.
The man surnamed Zhang rubbed his arms that were covered in goosebumps from the cold, turned to look at the attendant and said: "The weather is so cloudy and sunny, go get a coat and get some food and drinks. Brother Li and I will have a drink after we finish our work." cup!"
Follower man:? ? ?
what's the situation?
Forget it if you don’t exploit him, how can you change your name from Xiao Li to Brother Li?
The man who followed him suddenly felt that it might be the man in black mentioned by Li Guodong that caused the change in his eldest brother's attitude.
He came to the eldest brother's side and waved his hand to signal Li Guodong and his son to step back.
Then he asked quickly in a low voice: "Brother Zhang, shouldn't we squeeze some money out of this father and son? Even if we can't ask about the location of the supplies, there are quite a lot of supplies on hand?"
"No matter how strong the man in black he talks about is, so what?"
"That kind of character has precious time and will never come to Shushan. That kind of character only likes to run to places where there are demons. There is no need for us to deal with Li Guodong."
The man surnamed Zhang looked at the confused Li Guodong and smiled, then coldly snorted to the follower: "Huh, what do you know?"
"The big shots above me told me that one of the few people the high priest has been looking for recently is this man in black!"
"The high priest is so anxious that he is so anxious that his mouth is watering! Every day when the director of the Demon Hunting Department goes out, he goes to tell them to find these people!"
"It doesn't matter whether the man in black comes to Shushan or not, and it doesn't matter why the high priest is so anxious."
"As long as we can give the high priest a little coolness when he gets angry."
The man who followed him suddenly realized.
Li Guodong's food delivery means that he can see the man in black.
The high priest is now anxious to find the man in black.
At this time, the intelligence value of the location where the man in black appears is not particularly high.
If the high priest can find the man in black based on Li Guodong's clues, then as the reporter, they will definitely be rewarded!
Maybe the rating will be even higher next month!
Thinking about the monthly salary and other benefits after the rating was raised, the man who followed him bared his teeth and smiled.
Regardless of whether they can find him or not, whether the man in black will come to Shushan after he is found, that is not something they need to worry about.
As long as they report this matter to the high priest, the credit for timely rain will not be lost!
"Hey! Brother Zhang, I understand!" The man accompanying him nodded quickly and bowed.
The man surnamed Zhang was also very pleased after hearing this. No one would want a follower who has a missing brain stem and can only see people through his nostrils.
"Go get a coat first. Why do I feel a little colder again?"
The puzzled man named Zhang kept rubbing his arms, trying to warm himself up.
"We'll wait for you here. You go get your coat first, and then get the food and wine."
The man surnamed Zhang ordered the follower.
The latter nodded and ran away quickly. When he passed by Li Guodong and his son who were buttoning their shirts, they showed their big teeth and smiled warmly in a very friendly manner.
The path to promotion is just around the corner.
Soldiers are very fast, so he felt he had to run faster.
