Qianqiu and Yang rushed to the east gate one after another.
The monsters were not as fast as the two of them, and the two of them arrived in time before the monsters invaded, allowing the police to close the city gate.
Qianqiu let out a big breath and said happily: "Lao Yang, it's okay, we finally caught up."
Looking at the closed city gate, Yang Xian thought carefully and said: "It's just a temporary victory. Although the monsters are blocked by us now from the city gate, there is no guarantee that they will attack more fiercely if they smell the human smell in this high town. . Or give up this high town and go directly elsewhere."
Qianqiu thought about it carefully and said: "What's strange to me is that the mountain roads are rugged and the villages are hundreds of miles apart. How can they smell human scent and follow them?"
Yang Xian shook his head and said: "We are short of manpower, and now we have no way to investigate the source and solution of these things. We can only temporarily protect these people who have not been infected by the plague or the zombies. We can't control much else."
At this time, a group of people arrived. The leader of the police officer hugged the two men and said respectfully: "Two young heroes, our Lord Gao of Gao Town invites the two young heroes to gather in the government office to discuss and protest together. The enemy’s method.”
Qianqiu smiled and said to Yang Xian: "I didn't expect this tall man to do things very quickly. We just helped him protect the people of a town, and he asked us to discuss countermeasures together."
Yang Xian nodded and said to the leading police officer: "Lead the way!"
【Gaozhen·Fuya】
The famous Gao Tong of the Gao Town Government Office was transferred from the Holy Capital to Gao Town three years ago. Although he lacks some daring, it also reflects his stable character and reliable work.
Gao Tong waited in front of the government office for a long time, and finally waited for Qianqiu and Yang Xian.
He saluted hurriedly and said: "Two young heroes, I heard from the messengers that you saved our Gao Town. I am really ashamed. I would like to thank you in advance for the people of this town."
Qianqiu waved his hand and said: "Stop talking about these nonsense, Mr. Gao, don't you have a cultivator in your huge Gao Town? Besides, the merchants in your Gao Town have so many contacts with Sihua Village, and they don't even know that these monsters will Come?"
When Gao Tong heard this, he felt a little helpless and said: "Although Gao Town is located in Dongfang Mountain surrounded by immortal energy, no cultivators are willing to practice here. They all say that the world is too full of fireworks... and there are quite a few After the cultivators achieved a little success, they went to join the Demon Subduing Guild in the big city. How could anyone want to stay in this small town? Besides, we have frequent contacts with this Sihua Village. We are ordinary people after all, and we are not as knowledgeable as you cultivators. many."
When Qianqiu heard the same thing, he said: "It seems that being in the deep mountains is also very inconvenient. Now, a plague broke out in Yishui Village, which created these monsters. These monsters came all the way and have destroyed the two villages of Jinguang and Sihua. Now, It’s your turn to go to Gao Town.”
Gao Tong also heard what Gao Yuanda said about the terror of those monsters, and hurriedly said: "Two young heroes, what should we do?"
Yang Xian said: "These monsters are transformed from corpses after death. They like to eat human flesh and have endless energy. If ordinary people encounter it, they will die. But they are also afraid of fire, water, and weapons. , their weak point is the head. If the head is smashed, they will be unable to move immediately. Fortunately, there are no monsters coming in the town now. Master Gao, how many days can the food in the town last?"
"If we don't exchange with the outside world, with such a large population, food will probably run out in seven days at most." Gaotong thought for a while and replied.
Qianqiu said: "This won't work. The next town is not close to here. Will these monsters leave soon? Mr. Gao, you have to send someone to ask for help."
When Gao Tong heard this, he became embarrassed, and after a while he said: "You two young heroes, there are monsters surrounding the four city gates now, and ordinary people like us can't go out to ask for help."
"Master Gao, which city is closest to here?" Qianqiu asked.
"Hurry and get a map for the two young heroes!" Gao Tong said to the master.
After a while, the map was brought up. Yang Xian took a closer look and found that the closest town to this high town was Wuxia Town, and the larger city was Maple Leaf City outside Dongfang Mountain.
"How about going to Wuxia Town for help?" Master interrupted.
Yang Xian shook his head and said: "Wuxia Town is just like your Gao Town. Now is not the day to recruit disciples, and there are not many people to help you. Now we can only go to Maple Leaf City and ask the Lord of Maple Leaf City to mobilize troops to relieve the siege."
The master nodded and said to Gao Tong: "Sir, we have several tunnels in the southern suburbs that can lead to Sanliting outside the town."
"Although there are tunnels, what about the horses? We can't let them run for help, right?" Gao Tong asked.
Qianqiu heard this and said, "Sanliting? Where is the entrance?"
"It's in an abandoned house in the southern suburbs."
Qianqiu asked again: "Is the exit facing Sihua Village?"
"That's right."
"Are you looking for death? There are monsters everywhere now." Qianqiu cursed.
Yang Xian spoke at this time: "Okay, let's do this. Brother Qian and I will take you two out. After you get out, one of you will go to Maple Leaf City to ask for help, and the other will go to Wuxia Town to convey the crisis."
"Thank you, young hero." Upon hearing this, Gao Tong realized that there was a solution and hurriedly thanked him.
Qianqiu put down the black cloth that he had been carrying on his shoulders and said, "Heibu, thank you for your hard work. Come down and have something to eat."
Yang Xian said: "Brother Qian, this Heibu is really sensible. Since yesterday, he hasn't made much noise."
"I'm also confused. When An Anjing was rescuing people, I thought he was scared out of his wits." Qianqiu said while feeding Hei Bu some water.
Yang Xian looked at the busy policemen and said: "Brother Qian, we are not optimistic now. If we can't find the source of the plague and cannot get rid of it, not to mention Wuxia Town will be surrounded by these monsters sooner or later. Other cities It will also fall."
Qianqiu nodded and said: "Right now, we can only protect the town below us first, but it would be great if there were more helpers at this time. I really regret not calling Xiao Hu and the others."
Yang Xian said: "It seems that we can only hold on until reinforcements arrive to save these people."
Then Qianqiu and Yang Xian successfully led two police officers out of the city.
Just as the two of them were returning from the east city gate, Gao Tong ran over again with his master and said: "You two young heroes, I have arranged manpower at the four city gates. It's going to be night, and nothing will go wrong, right?"
Qianqiu looked at the sky and saw that it was already evening.
Yang Xian said: "Asking the officers and soldiers guarding the city not to speak loudly will avoid arousing the monsters outside the city gate."
"Obey!" Gao Tong knew that he was incompetent in comparison, so he trusted Qianqiu and the two of them, almost to the point of obeying orders.
Finally, Sunset took one last hard look at Gao Zhen and finally went down the mountain unwillingly.
At night, the atmosphere was extremely quiet. There was no longer the prosperity of the past. Every household turned off the lights and stopped talking loudly.
Besides, Wang Xiaoqi and his wife left the city gate and rushed directly to the eldest brother's house to stay.
"Brother, big brother, open the door quickly, my brother is here." Wang Xiaoqi shouted while knocking on the door.
When the door opened, Wang Xiaoqi's compatriot brother, Mr. Wang, came out.
Boss Wang is not as strong as Wang Xiaoqi. He has not much flesh on his body. He is thin and skinny. He is also more shrewd in dealing with people.
He loves people. As soon as he opened the door and saw Wang Qingxuan, he reached out to hug her: "Brothers, brothers and sisters, why are you here? Oh, and there is my cute little niece!"
"Brother, go in and talk in detail." After Wang Xiaoqi said that, he opened the door and walked in.
After what Wang Xiaoqi told him, the owner of the dyeing shop, Mr. Wang, and his family were dumbfounded.
"Is there such a thing? So Gao Town is also in danger." Boss Wang said, "How did you escape from the village? This distance is not close."
Wang Xiaoqi then talked to Qianqiu and Yang Xian again.
Boss Wang listened, nodded, and said, "As long as you have a cultivator, it should be fine."
Speaking of this, Boss Wang hurriedly ordered his family to strengthen the doors and windows in the dyeing workshop to prevent monsters from outside the city from entering the town and entering the house.
After reinforcing the doors and windows and having dinner, Mr. Wang was a little worried again and asked a few guys to check the entrance and exit doors of the home. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little relieved.
At night, a large family gathered around the hall to chat.
"Brother, where do you think these monsters came from?" Boss Wang suddenly remembered and asked.
Wang Xiaoqi said: "I heard from the two young heroes that a plague broke out in Yishui Village, and then the plague infected people, and they died and turned into monsters after death. If these zombie monsters bite People, that people can also become monsters.”
"Boss, our accountant went to Mr. Wang's house in Sihua Village to collect the accounts early in the morning. It seems that he hasn't come back yet." At this time, Mr. Wang's wife suddenly mentioned.
Boss Wang waved his hand and said: "What time has it been? If the accountant hasn't come back, he hasn't come back."
"No, boss, I'm going to look after the cashier and go out to buy medicine in the afternoon..." the boy from the dyeing shop standing nearby mentioned.
"Buying medicine? What medicine should I buy?" Wang Xiaoqi asked with an ominous premonition.
"The accountant said that he fell down on the way to Sihua Village. I saw blood on his wrists, so I asked him to buy medicine quickly." The boy said while recalling.
Boss Wang suddenly stood up and asked, "Where was the counting house you last saw?"
"It seems that he is in the woodshed in the backyard, collecting firewood for cooking," the boy said.
When Boss Wang heard this, he said to himself: "Something's wrong. This old Li usually comes to the front to hang around after dinner. It's already dark today, and he didn't come either."
Wang Xiaoqi stopped sweating and said quietly to Boss Wang: "Brother, could this accounting room be..."
Boss Wang was also vigilant and ordered the young man to bring the woman and the elderly and weak members of the family into the house.
"Brother, let's go to the woodshed and have a look." He said casually.
The two took two sticks and oil lamps and walked to the woodshed in the backyard.
The firewood shed in the backyard usually only has some firewood piled up, it is a mess, and few people come to it.
The two of them walked inside under the dim light.
"Brother, what do you think that is?" Wang Xiaoqi pointed at one place with sharp eyes.
Boss Wang took a closer look and hurriedly walked over. When he lowered his head, he saw the counting house lying on the ground.
"He shouldn't have been dead for long. You can see that his body is still warm." Wang Xiaoqi said.
At this moment, the two of them heard a knock on the store door.
"Boss Wang, open the door!" Several impatient voices came from outside the door.
Boss Wang was a little startled by the sudden knock on the door, but he soon calmed down. He heard the voice of Gao Yuanda from the government, and thought to himself that it was a good time. If someone died, he should report it to the government.
"Squeak!" As soon as the door opened, Boss Wang saw Gao Yuanda holding a torch and leading a group of policemen standing outside the door.
"Sir! Are you here?" Mr. Wang greeted warmly.
Gao Yuanda glanced disdainfully, saw Wang Xiaoqi standing behind him, and said, "So this guy is your brother."
"Yes, this is my brother Wang Xiaoqi. He has been in Sihua Village. If there is no such thing as a monster, he has come to join me." Boss Wang said politely.
Gao Yuanda took out a piece of paper from his arms and said: "You must also know that monsters are besieging the city, and it is very hard for the government to resist. I won't talk nonsense to you. In order to work together to resist the monsters, I hereby come to collect money. Look at you How much do you want to pay?”
When Boss Wang heard this, he knew what he was talking about and said, "Sir, how much should it be?"
"One hundred taels, maybe." Gao Yuanda raised his eyebrows and casually said a number.
When Wang Xiaoqi heard this, one hundred taels? Ordinary people have been saving for ten years without even knowing if they have a hundred taels. Now this official asked for a hundred taels. Isn't this a blatant robbery?
He was about to go up to argue, but was pushed down by Boss Wang.
Boss Wang said: "Sir, one hundred taels is not difficult, but now there is something that urgently needs your decision!"
"What's the matter?" Gao Yuanda spat and asked.
Boss Wang said: "My accountant died and is now in the backyard."
When Gao Yuanda and the policemen heard this, they immediately turned to the official swords they were wearing and became nervous.
Murders rarely occur in Gao Town, so it's a big deal if someone dies for no reason.
Gao Yuanda hurriedly asked: "Where is the body? Take us there quickly."
