When the training class left the city together, Shen Qian had seen a strange mist of light floating in the air from a long distance away.
It's just that Shen Qian never understood what those distant or near light mists were.
Seeing this spot of light at this moment, Shen Qian's heart beat violently, and he also thought of those hazy hazes of light.
They all have brilliant colors.
The only difference is that the faintly moving light spot in front of me seems to be "alive".
Boom, boom, boom!
Just staring at the spot of light, Shen Qian couldn't tell whether it was his own heartbeat or the sound of footsteps sounding from nowhere.
A strange song rang out from the mouths of the nine cloaked men who ignored everyone, and began to resound lowly throughout the world.
There was a "swish" sound in the woods, and a staggering woman walked out of the woods, moving little by little in the direction of the nine people.
She has the better left side of her face, but the right side of her face is covered with black and purple lines. Her eyes are soft and full of hope, and she is looking down at her arms.
There, a baby stained with blood was lying in her arms crying loudly.
But the cry was like a ghost's cry, which made people's hair stand on end.
The broken umbilical cord hung low, and there was a large amount of blood between the woman's legs... The baby had clearly just been born.
Seeing this strange scene, everyone on the hillside was speechless for a moment.
Shen Qian was keenly aware that since the woman appeared holding the baby, the speed of the light spot suddenly accelerated and the area also expanded.
At this time, Zisun Fang, Huang Tao and others also noticed the light spot.
Their reaction was much more intense than that of Shen Qian.
"how come!"
"That is……"
"This is around Mingcheng, how is this possible!"
Huang Tao and others were shocked and lost their voices, as if they had seen something extremely terrible, their faces became extremely solemn.
"Commander Sun, this is the area you are responsible for patrolling. Could it be said that there were no signs before?"
Xu He's pretty face turned pale, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Sun Fang.
Sun Fang opened his mouth, but in the end he did not explain, but said solemnly: "Everyone, this matter is due to my negligence in the right camp, but now, I beg you to help me!"
"You all understand that an out-of-control 'door' is never allowed to be opened. This matter takes priority over everything else!"
Shen Qian listened a little confused, what "door"?
Are you talking about that light spot?
"This is indeed not the time to pursue responsibility. Whether it is coincidence or fate, since we have encountered it, it is naturally our duty to do so!"
Huang Tao took a deep breath and turned to look at the senior high school students behind him whose faces were pale due to exhaustion or emotional fluctuations.
"It's just that there's no reason for these kids to be in danger."
"This is natural." Sun Fang nodded.
"I didn't expect that I would encounter the worst situation just by saying it casually."
Li Ziyan, the principal of No. 2 Middle School, gave a self-deprecating smile and said, "Commander Sun, I will leave everything to your command."
"The strength of the nine sacrificers is currently unclear, but the woman should be just an ordinary scavenger."
Sun Fang quickly entered the state and spoke very fast.
"I'll try long-range sniping first. If that doesn't work, let all our high-level warriors take action first. The priority target is the child in the woman's hands. If I guessed correctly, the tree stump should be something like an altar, and the child is the one who opens it." door's key."
"Wait, what are you talking about!"
He Yanfeng, the principal of No. 6 Middle School, came to his senses and said in a panic, "What 'door'? What are we going to do?"
"Principal He, you are a social martial artist, and you are a high-level martial artist who has only recently made a breakthrough. Originally, these things should have been told to you by someone from the Martial Arts Patrol Division. It is not in line with the rules to say it from our mouths."
"But now that the situation is urgent, we can only act according to urgency!"
Huang Tao took a deep breath and said quickly, "Old He, you just need to know that if we let that 'door' open, there will be extremely serious consequences!"
"According to the "Advanced Warrior Law", even if you are a social warrior, once you break through to become a high-level warrior, you are obliged to..."
"Don't tell me, I won't go!"
He Yanfeng, who seemed to understand something, interrupted Huang Tao, took a few steps back, and shouted: "You guys have to go, don't hold me back!"
Xu He and others looked at the fierce-looking He Yanfeng with some contempt.
Shen Qian also complained a little. Seeing that Huang Tao was about to talk about the most important part, why don't you wait until he finishes speaking?
Sun Fang, on the other hand, was much more direct. He said coldly: "I'm sorry, Principal He. It's wartime now. I have the right to directly commandeer your personal force. Please obey the call. Otherwise, don't blame the ruthless military law!"
He Yanfeng's expression changed, and what he wanted to say finally failed in Sun Fang's cold eyes.
"Sniper rifle!"
Sun Fang stopped paying attention to He Yanfeng and shouted instead.
The military warrior on standby handed the assembled sniper rifle to Sun Fang. After Sun Fang took it, he adjusted the angle instantly and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
boom!
The sound of gunshots rang out in everyone's ears, and an extremely obvious vacuum scratch was drawn in the air.
With his spiritual power diverging, time seemed to be slowed down countless times. Shen Qian could clearly see that the spinning bullet suddenly split into colorful fragments as it approached the strange altar, and was then absorbed by the light spot above. .
"As expected."
Sun Fang didn't seem surprised by this result. He threw away the sniper rifle and took out a short metal stick from his back. With a "clang" sound, the short metal stick expanded and contracted and turned into a long black spear. .
"Song Ben, on alert for the battle, I allow you to take command at your own convenience. All high-ranking warriors, please follow me!"
After Sun Fang shouted the order, he jumped first, jumped down the valley, and rushed towards the altar.
Behind him were Huang Tao, who had taken out a long sword at some point, and Xu He, who was holding a short sword.
The pale He Yanfeng retreated subconsciously, but was hit by a cold touch on his waist.
"Principal He, let's go together!"
Behind him, Li Ziyan, who was holding a sharp blade, said with a half-smile.
He Yanfeng gritted his teeth and could only take out a set of shield knives and jumped down with Li Ziyan.
The ten top martial artists jumped down the valley together, but many students still didn't know what happened. Even Ouyang Fei and others were a little confused and came over to ask Shen Qian.
"You have to destroy that altar anyway, otherwise something big will happen!"
Shen Qian couldn't explain it clearly, so he could only tell a few people the conclusion he came to.
"What is that?" Gu Zifang was about to ask, but suddenly her pupils shrank and she pointed at the snow below and shouted.
But Shen Qian had already turned his gaze away, and then took a breath and lit up.
The depression in the valley suddenly changed after Sun Fang and ten others jumped down.
A hand covered with flesh suddenly stretched out from the snow and grabbed his foot.
Sun Fang's face changed slightly, and he shot away the hand, but three more hands stretched out from different directions and hugged his legs.
Not only Sun Fang, but Huang Tao and others also suffered sudden attacks.
The snow on the depressions receded crazily, revealing large areas of corpses.
The floor of this valley was actually filled with dead people.
At this time, all the corpses seemed to have come to life. They opened their unfocused eyes, which seemed to be shrouded in gray mist, and climbed up silently from the ground.
Shen Qian took a quick look and saw that from the bottom of the slope to the altar, there were densely packed "people" standing there. They slowly walked towards Sun Fang and others and surrounded them.
At a rough glance, there are at least thousands.
The scene of the dead resurrecting greatly shocked the students on the hillside, and Ouyang Fei and others also looked a little dull.
Shen Qian, who was wary, had anticipated various possibilities. Although he was shocked, he quickly calmed down.
"roll!"
There was a loud shout, and Sun Fang, whose expression remained unchanged, let out a bright light from the spear in his hand. With one sweep, dozens of corpses were swept away in an instant.
Huang Tao and others also performed well. With all their strength, they knocked down hundreds of corpses in an instant.
Shen Qian breathed a sigh of relief.
Although I have rarely seen high-level warriors take action, the explosive power of high-level warriors starts at 5000Kg, and their combat power is extraordinary. These dead scavengers cannot see their pre-birth cultivation, but their strength is not strong, and they are ineffective against Sun Fang and others. threaten.
The students on the hillside also cheered.
But in the next second, all the cheers were muted.
Because the corpses that had been swept away climbed up as if nothing had happened, and then pounced on Sun Fang and others at an even faster speed.
"There's something weird about these dead people!" Huang Tao's expression changed.
"You still want to say this?" Li Ziyan shouted, "Try beheading!"
Xu He gritted his silver teeth, and the sharp blade in his hand pierced the head of a corpse with difficulty, but the corpse did not stop its attack. It still opened its mouth and bit her arm with its yellow and white teeth.
Xu He had no choice but to kick the body away.
However, there were more dead people surrounding him.
"does not work!"
"Cut off your hands and feet, pass quickly, don't get entangled!"
Sun Yat-sen roared, struck the joints of the surrounding corpses with his spear, and finally managed to tear open a gash.
But soon Sun Fang's pace slowed down again, and the speed at which he knocked down the dead man was far less than the speed at which the dead men gathered around him.
"No, the bodies of these dead people are like damn thousand-year-old ice. Their defenses are too strong. It's too late. The woman is already almost on the altar!" Li Ziyan yelled.
Sun Fang looked back, and sure enough, the woman holding the child and walking slowly was less than a hundred meters away from the altar.
And the nine cloaked men standing around the tree stump were singing louder and louder.
"The second team and the third team continue to be on guard to protect the students, the ninth team is covered by thunder and fire, and the remaining seven teams enter the battlefield to clear the way for us!"
Sun Fang ordered loudly.
The sergeants of Changyouying who had been standing silently on the hillside took action quickly the moment Sun issued the order.
The warriors headed by Song Ben lowered the ropes from the hillside and slid into the valley one by one. Then they took out the standard long swords at their waists and rushed into the battlefield with shouts.
boom! boom!
The nine teams of military warriors on the hillside set up ten small psychic cannons and bombarded the corpses in front of Sun Fang and others.
The power of the psychic cannon should have been extremely powerful, but for some reason it seemed to have been weakened countless times in this valley. Although it seemed powerful, it could not do much damage to the corpses.
Shen Qian intuitively felt that this might be related to the existence of the "door".
After all, the principle of the psychic cannon and the psychic gun is highly compressed spiritual energy, and the light spot looks like it is made of spiritual energy. The bullets from the previous psychic gun seemed to be absorbed by it.
Fortunately, the sergeants of Changyouying who rushed into the valley played a great role. With their indomitable momentum, Song Ben and others cut into the corpses like sharp knives, advancing hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye. .
Sun Fang and others took advantage of the situation to follow up, but as the dead people who fell to the ground got up again, the sergeants also fell into a hard fight after the initial momentum.
Shen Qian saw a military warrior being dragged into the group of corpses and disappearing while roaring in pain. He also saw another military warrior being bitten on the neck by a corpse, but he still hugged the other person tightly and was with the other person. They fell to the ground together...
For these seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys, this was the first time they had seen the horror of war.
Most of the students couldn't bear to watch anymore and turned their heads while gritting their teeth. There were also girls like Lin Xiaoqian who couldn't help sobbing.
Shen Qian was silent, watching Song Ben, who was leading the charge and looking solemn, narrowly surviving the siege of the corpses several times, and felt a gloomy air condensing in his chest.
I... can I just watch?
Shen Qian, who had always cherished his life, could not control the urge to rush out at this moment.
"Hook request failed!"
"Bit! Yellow warning!"
"It is detected that the energy required for this idle mission is huge, and there are unknown variables on the battlefield. The remaining energy is less than 50%. To ensure that the host's survival probability is not less than 90%, this idle mission is automatically canceled."
Shen Qian felt helpless when he saw the reminder popping up in his mind again.
The system has no emotions, it will only consider the situation from the most objective perspective.
In other words, it doesn't care whether other people live or die.
But the more this happened, the more serious Shen Qian's inner torment became.
Observing now, he knew that he had the ability to change the situation to some extent.
Those dead people wearing cold armor and seemingly invulnerable, but their own original energy happened to have the means to restrain it.
Can……
The time he had to repair his original vitality was too short, and only the system could exert its maximum power.
The chanting between heaven and earth became louder and louder. The nine cloaked men ignored the fighting on the battlefield and raised their heads at some point, staring at the light spot in the air that had turned into a half-human-sized spot.
Their bruised and bruised faces looked particularly ferocious under the halo of light, but they couldn't stop the fanatical look in their eyes.
And the woman who was stumbling suddenly started running wildly, as if she had been urged by something.
She kept falling down, her legs were already bloody, but she firmly protected the baby in her arms, and kept getting up and running to the altar again.
Is it too late?
Shen Qian smiled bitterly. Before he could convince the system, the woman had already rushed to the tree stump and put the baby on it.
Heaven and earth trembled.
Snow began to fall in the originally peaceful valley. Shen Qian saw that the spot of light in the mid-air seemed to be stimulated by some kind of stimulus. It suddenly expanded to several meters in size and vaguely turned into the shape of a door. A black shadow emerged from it. come out.
The black figure seemed to be hindered by some kind of obstruction and was trying hard to pass through the door.
The first thing that came out was a hand, a hand with long nails as pale as a zombie.
The wind and snow between heaven and earth are more violent.
The hand was still in mid-air as it tried hard to reach the baby below, as if expressing some kind of desire.
It's like a sacrificial ceremony, and the baby is the sacrifice of the scavengers, just to summon the monster behind the door, or the "door".
This is Shen Qian's understanding.
Even at this time, Sun Fang and others still had no intention of giving up. On the contrary, Sun Fang even became energetic and the spear he waved in his hand was a little faster.
"This is a C-level or above 'door'. It will take a long time to fully open it. We still have a chance!"
Sun Dao roared, as if to encourage Huang Tao and others who were struggling to move forward.
But after the hand appeared, the corpse group seemed to become more crazy, and even became a little stronger.
The pace of Sun Fang and others' progress became slower and slower.
"Commander Sun, think of a solution quickly. The owner of that hand must be someone above the mountains and seas. If he steps out, everyone will die here!"
Huang Tao glanced at the door above the altar and shouted with a heavy expression.
When Sun Fang heard this, the struggling look on his face flashed away, but soon, he still issued the order loudly.
"Chang Youying obeys the order, no matter the cost, no matter life or death... pave the way!"
Before Shen Qian could figure out what "paving the way" meant, an extremely shocking scene appeared in his sight.
"Must win!"
A hoarse violent roar resounded in the valley. Shen Qian followed the sound and happened to see a warrior at the front rushing out and crushing a walking corpse beneath him.
He used his body to pave the way forward.
And he was just the first.
"Must win!"
"Must win!"
More and more warriors roared and rushed out, using their bodies as barriers to plow a way.
Sun Fang had tears in his eyes, but he rushed over to his comrade without hesitation.
The second fastest one was He Yanfeng, who had been frightened for a long time. He followed closely behind Sun Fang.
After sighing, Huang Tao and others quickly followed suit, waving their weapons faster and faster, trying to help the warriors reduce their sacrifices.
Shen Qian could no longer see the scene in front of him clearly. He took off his protective mask, and the tears in his eyes quickly condensed into ice crystals, which were dispersed by his energy.
"Shen Qian...Cao, are we just going to watch?"
Ouyang Fei, whose eyes were already red, clenched his fists, as if questioning Shen Qian and himself.
Click, click, click!
The sound of snow being trampled was heard from behind, and countless students screamed in horror.
Shen Qian turned around and saw countless walking corpses coming from behind the hillside.
It was the corpses I had seen on the road ahead.
They swarmed over in silence and were firmly blocked fifty meters away.
The second and third teams who stayed behind and the ninth team who gave up their psychic cannons, a total of 300 warriors formed the strongest defense line, and also silently blocked the incoming zombies.
There were too many zombies, and the defense line of 300 people was so thin. The warriors fell one after another, but they did not retreat even half a step.
The back figures of Shen Qian whose names were unknown, sacrificed their lives without hesitation, just for Sun Fang's order to protect the students.
Shen Qian only felt ridiculous, and the depression in his chest finally reached the top.
Those of them standing here, worrying, crying and shouting but doing nothing...
He really looks like an idiot!
Zhao Hanhai rushed out, Liu Simin, who was clearly shaking with fear, also screamed and rushed out, and more teachers rushed out...
Shen Qian didn't look again. He took off his protective clothing and strode to the top of the slope under the stunned eyes of Ouyang Fei and others who were still arguing with other students about whether to help.
"Shen Qian, you...what are you going to do?"
The classmates of Class 109 had unconsciously gathered next to Shen Qian. They were all shocked when they saw this. Wang Yangming, who knew Shen Qian best, guessed what he had guessed and asked tremblingly.
"Me, I..."
The biting cold wind blew against his face. Shen Qian turned around, threw away the protective clothing and grinned.
"I'm going to kill these hermaphrodites!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Qian jumped down from the valley.
