Under the oppressive and dead sky, there is a piece of scorched earth, with no end as far as the eye can see. Several slow rivers separate the black soil, meandering, and merge into the huge sinkhole in the distance; in the vast fields, raised mountain peaks are dotted, like suppressing The earth is falling.
Behind a row of broken mountain tops that seemed to have been cut off by something, deadly dust rose in the air, and a long dragon-like group of fluorescent lights lingered around half of the mountain, faintly looking for flight.
In the quiet and dangerous night, a few creepy screams occasionally came from the depths of the wilderness, and the night wind that drifted in was faintly mixed with the smell of blood.
A shadow with a knife wrapped in a black robe was moving at high speed. Zou Ran stopped and raised his hand. The six or seven black shadows behind him suddenly froze and turned around neatly to hide against the mountain next to him. superior.
The leading shadow quietly climbed up to a secret vent alone, took off his dark gloves, stretched out his white fingers to emit a faint green light, caught the night wind, and then put it into his mouth with the tip of his tongue, his brows condensed and relaxed, and he pressed Holding the handle of the knife, he turned around and sneaked back, saying in a low voice: "He is nearby. He will kill anyone on sight and leave no one alive. This is the imperial order!"
"Chang Yi, does he really have the [Cambrian Suicide Note] in his hand? I heard that it was left by the legendary No. 1 man in the world!" A shadow hidden on the edge of the mountain couldn't help but ask. .
The leading shadow raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "It's not your place to ask, don't ask, or the whole family will be executed!"
The shadow who asked the question shrank his head, his heart felt cold, he trembled, and he didn't dare to say another word!
At this time, a wisp of fluorescent smoke slowly rose from the side of a dark mountain peak, splitting into two forks. The leading shadow was startled and said: "No, the commander has already encountered him and was killed by him. Retreat in that direction. Quickly." Prepare to intercept quickly!"
But there was a heavy shock in his heart: [Cambrian's Suicide Note] is indeed the best skill in the world. In just a few months, he has become so powerful! No wonder the force of those immortals is so terrifying!
Seven or eight black shadows quickly flew away. Sweeping away from the ground, one by one disappeared into the night, and the mountains and fields returned to silence.
Later in the night.
At the end of the scorched earth, at the edge of a primeval forest, under a huge collapsed mountain peak. Hidden there is an unknown cluster of villages that are barely surviving.
In the village, an extremely oppressive and suffocating atmosphere enveloped everyone's hearts.
In a simple house made of a rusty bus iron frame that had been abandoned for who knows how many years, several sad-looking figures quietly gathered under the light of an oil lamp, and the jumping flames engulfed them behind them. The shadow was shaking a little messy and dull.
"Dad, I won't draw lots. I'll go. My second brother can work now, and my sister is only eight years old. Maybe she can wake up!" A little boy in his teens clenched his fingers tightly, his nails sinking into the skinny flesh. Li, biting his lip, raised his head and said with a trembling voice.
His eyes first fell on the face of his aging father, then moved to his sad-looking mother who was still holding his younger brother who was less than 1 year old, and finally landed on his timid and inferior figure hiding in a dark corner. Where the light couldn't shine, the body of a young man who should have been full of vitality turned out to be that of his sister, who was only a few years older than him.
The boy shivered with fear. When I thought that I would become such a "monster", my heart suddenly shook, and I began to regret it faintly.
But when he turned around, he saw his eight-year-old sister hiding behind him, because he was afraid. His thin little body was shaking violently. He gritted his teeth and held back.
Beside him, another slightly older boy lowered his head, wringing his fingers, unwilling to speak.
The wrinkled father was silent for a long time. He wriggled his lips and said with difficulty, "Let Fourth Sister go. It's not easy to support a boy at home."
After saying that, he was afraid to look at his daughter. He coughed, hunched over in pain and walked into the dark side of the room.
The decision of the head of the family is a final decision. The mother holding the child shed tears, hugged her little daughter's delicate and trembling body, and cried heartbreakingly: " My son..."
The boy who volunteered felt extremely complicated. He opened his mouth several times, but shuddered under the shadow of his "monster" sister. He avoided his sister's gaze and clenched his little fists in pain, feeling extremely guilty.
But his brother kept his head lowered and said nothing. He turned around and went out and worked hard. No one knew what he was thinking.
…
The next day, everyone in the village got up early, and some people didn't sleep at all.
The gray sky was filled with thick, deadly dust, which was dim and dull, suppressing everything in the world.
On the black and scorched land, a group of children around 10 years old, with the help of adults, gathered together. There were about a dozen of them, most of whom were girls, and the bodies of starved to death buried in a ravine outside the village. They are all the same, and people here invariably keep boys and give up girls.
"Everyone is here?" A slightly stronger middle-aged man asked after counting the number of people.
"We still need the mistress from Lao Yu's family, who should be here soon." The aunt beside the middle-aged man was wearing a piece of tattered clothes picked up from the ruins, shivering a little from the cold, and looked back.
"This winter is too cold, and the village's winter food supply is about to run out. If we don't go to the Death Forbidden Land, many people will starve to death this year..." The middle-aged man said, looking at the increasingly cold sky.
"Village chief, Lao Yu's family is here." The nondescript aunt stamped her feet and pointed to one side.
While the two were talking, the wrinkled father last night was holding his little daughter's hand with a numb expression, but his eyes showed heartache. He had already suffered such a heavy blow a few years ago.
The little girl was very familiar with the other selected children. Although she was still extremely scared, with so many people together, her fear seemed to be lessened, and she walked into the team silently with her head lowered.
"Okay, now that we are all here, get ready to go. There are only two safest entrances to the Death Forbidden Land. Don't let others take the lead." The middle-aged village chief didn't say much. Facing those parents, he knew what to say. It's all useless.
Most of them are girls. They are led by middle-aged people and line up in a row. Other young and strong people are ready with ropes. Follow behind.
When they passed by the village entrance, a little boy of about ten years old stood there proudly wearing the best clothes in the village. In fact, it was just a piece of clothing that cost more than ten yuan at a street stall in the Sunshine Era. His face was full of dignity, and the eyes of the little girls looking at him were full of envy and inferiority, because he was an awakened one!
"Dad, can my sister come back alive?" The little boy who volunteered last night pulled on a corner of his father's tattered clothes. Extremely sad.
The father wiped his wet old face with his hand, sighed and said nothing.
Everyone knows what the death zone means - food and death coexist!
No one and no monsters can come out of it alive. Except for very young children, they can enter the restricted area in a short period of time, but when they come out, they are either dead of old age, or they look senile, and they cannot survive either. How long, it feels like my life has been stolen!
But there is food. There are mountains of monster corpses, which are still sealed and frozen. As long as they can get out a little bit, it will be enough for them to survive the entire cold winter.
In order to eat and survive, people came up with an extremely cruel method. They tied a child of about ten years old with a rope and asked her to push the hook rope and rush in to hook as many monsters inside as quickly as possible. It's eventful. Then the adults outside worked together to pull out her and the monster's corpse.
Sometimes the hook rope gets stuck, or the monster corpse is blocked by something, and various unexpected situations cause long delays. By the time the adults finally pulled it out, the child had died of old age.
Only those children who went smoothly and had great luck could be pulled out alive, but without exception, they all turned into monsters like old children. Only a few years to live.
This is not the first time that the surviving village under the Broken Peak has done this. The most recent time was a few years ago, when a monster attacked and all the food was destroyed. They summoned them once. That time, they came out alive. , less than half!
What will happen this time?
The fathers all around sighed and were about to go back to prepare firewood for the winter when they heard a few figures running hurriedly outside the village. The leader was the eldest son of Lao Wang's family, and the people behind him were carrying a man covered in blood. young people.
He quickly told his son to go back quickly. He took a closer look and took a deep breath.
"Hurry, aunt, it's the second brother who's back. He's hurt, he's hurt!" the eldest son of Lao Wang's family shouted eagerly, seeming to be very familiar with this young man.
The young man struggled to open his eyes, and blood flowed into his eyes, making him look extremely ferocious. Many villagers were frightened and ran around in panic.
The young man took out a piece of paper stained with blood from his arms and said intermittently with all his strength: "Old Qi, put it away, put it away. This is what I, I, paid for with my life. He, they are going to chase him. He is coming." , I have to leave immediately to lure him and them away!"
After saying that, he couldn't help but fainted on the ground.
…
In the huge mushroom cloud-like forest, the little girls cautiously followed the adults, following the remote paths, and fearfully went deeper and deeper into the forest.
About an hour later, the towering mushroom cloud-like plants disappeared, and what appeared in front of everyone was a dead, empty forbidden land. There was nothing here, no matter animals or plants, no one dared to cross this thunderous pond!
Thick black mist spreads over the forbidden area. Standing outside, no matter how good your eyesight is, you can't see through the scene inside. No one knows what is inside except those children who have gone in and are still alive.
The adults were extremely afraid of the strange noises in the depths of the forest. As soon as they arrived here, they quickly tied ropes to the children, prepared hooks, and worked as fast as possible.
The youngest daughter of Lao Yu's family was the last one to be tied up. Under the urging of the adults, although she was extremely scared, she had no one to turn to because the village chief deliberately did not let their parents and relatives come over. She could only hold the thick rope and follow her. Behind the other children, I had to crawl into the thick black fog.
As soon as the children entered the black mist, they immediately ran like crazy. They learned from the adults that the faster they came out first, the greater the hope of survival for those who came out first, even though they would become a Monster, but still alive after all.
It was the first time for the youngest daughter of Lao Yu's family to see so many terrifying monsters, piled up like mountains, and some were even several times bigger than their village! She was almost scared to death. When she reacted, there were no corpses of the little monsters that other children had grabbed along the way. The remaining ones were either too big or too stuck to move.
She could only bravely crawl through the pile of corpses and walk inside. If she didn't hook anything, even if she ran back, she would be thrown back by the village chief.
After walking for about a while, she was so frightened that she thought she must have turned into a monster like her sister, and her legs and feet had lost all strength. In fact, she had only walked less than 50 meters!
At this time, a child hooked the stuck monster corpse. The adult outside pulled hard, and the huge pile of tall monster corpses immediately collapsed.
The children were running in fright, tumbling and tumbling away in shock.
The youngest daughter of Lao Yu's family also fell. Before she could get up, she saw something rolling down from the top of the pile of corpses. At this moment, the other children had already run away.
She was so anxious that she burst into tears.
"Well, where is this?" The thing was covered in rotten armor and looked like a monster. It exhaled a long breath and made a terrifying sound with its stiff tongue.
The little girl was so frightened that she choked. She was trembling as quietly as she could. Her whole body kept twitching and shaking, which was really pitiful.
