Bright moonlight,
The sparse shadows are horizontal and the water is clear and shallow.
Li Yu sat on the roof of the tallest building in the oil city, watching the fire outside the wall, taking advantage of the gentle evening breeze to light a cigarette.
Looking towards the main entrance from the roof, you can see four heads hanging on it. One of them was crushed by Li Yu during the day. It was so rotten that there was no way to hang it up again.
No guilt, no compassion.
From a long time ago, whether it was killing people or killing zombies, there was no big feeling. It seemed like doing a sparse and ordinary thing, as natural and casual as eating and drinking.
Next to him, there were Uncle San, Jackal, Ant, Li Tie, Cannon and others sitting and resting.
When Li Yu is free, he often takes Li Tie and others to ask Uncle San, Ant and others about their combat skills.
After all, Third Uncle and the others are all trained in the True Erba Sutra countless times, and none of them are weak in their skills.
A small fighting exchange meeting entered the intermission period.
"Xiaoyu, I heard from Jackal that you met a Taoist priest on the way here yesterday or two days ago?"
The third uncle's voice came from behind.
Li Yu turned his head and said to his third uncle: "Yes, I happened to see that Taoist priest is quite powerful. A person can survive for such a long time in the zombie wave. I felt that it was a pity to be bitten to death by zombies, so I saved him easily." "
The jackal playing with the knife in his hand said: "I remembered later that before I came to the Da Zhangshu base, I passed by Sanqing Mountain. There was a flood at that time, and that place saved me."
"Huh? Tell me, Jackal, you didn't even tell this story." Ant said with some interest.
The jackal's eyes flashed with memories, remembering the time of heavy rain and flood.
"A few months ago, there were heavy rains and floods. Xiaoyong and I ran to Sanqing Mountain to avoid the floods. At that time, we only had half a squirrel and no food. It was the time when we were running out of ammunition.
The rain was very heavy at that time, and the water on the mountain rushed down, almost like a stream. The water level at the bottom of the mountain was getting higher and higher, causing flooding.
We walked halfway up the mountain, and guess what we found? "
Cannon was the first to say: "Find a house? Then you hid in it and finally found a lot of food inside?"
The jackal looked at the cannon in surprise and blurted out: "How do you know?"
Cannon scratched his head and said, "Isn't this a dream that most survivors would have."
The jackal heard this and said with a smile: "Yes, but it just happened that the dream came true. The small house we found was very small. It should be a small grocery store built before the end of the world. After we went in, we found it in the dark wall Instant noodles, wine...even cigarettes.
At that time, I was thinking that this must be God's blessing and a miracle. With this food, we survived the heavy rain and flood. "
Everyone listened quietly, and even Li Tie, who was controlling a drone hovering in the sky, pricked up his ears to listen.
Jackal continued: "Then we continued up the mountain and saw the Sanqingshan Taoist Temple. Unfortunately, there was nothing inside, no people, and no food."
"However, we found a sentence there, written in large black calligraphy in the main hall."
"What is it?" Li Tie was too curious and turned his head and asked.
"When there is a big chaos, go down the mountain to save people." Jackal's eyes were shining, and he still vaguely remembered how he felt when he saw these words.
In a time of great chaos, they went against the current and went down the mountain to save people and save the common people.
No matter what, these people are worthy of admiration.
Whether it was Li Tie or Cannon, they were all shocked by the meaning of these eight words.
Li Yu suddenly said: "When it comes to this, I remember that when Zhong Chuchu came here, I once asked her how she knew about the Da Zhangshu Base. She told me that a Taoist priest showed them the way, and told her that she could Go south to Gan City."
"Zhong Chuchu said that this Taoist priest seems to have been looking for his senior brother. Is it possible that it is the same Taoist priest we saw two days ago?"
Cannon said: "It's unlikely. It can't be such a coincidence."
The third uncle shook his head and said: "I think it is possible. There are very few people wearing Taoist uniforms in the apocalypse. What's more, the place Zhong Chuchu said he met is also at the junction of Gan Province and Hubei Province, and it is also very far away from Sanqing Mountain. It’s close.”
Li Yu nodded and said, "That makes sense, but my main question is why the Taoist priest knew and asked Zhong Chuchu and the others to come to Gan City. If he said this, he must at least be interested in us. Something to know.
How did he know about us? "
Everyone was silent, and the jackal next to them suddenly asked: "Have you ever been near Sanqing Mountain?"
Li Gang said: "I have never been to Sanqing Mountain, but I have been to Chang City a lot."
"Ma Jun's gang of prison perverts, the Corpse Whisperers, we met these two gangs when we were collecting supplies there." Li Tie frowned and took over Li Gang's words.
"Yes, it seems that Dongfeng, Lao Wan and the others who joined us also came from that area." Dapao nodded.
After hearing what they said, the jackal nodded and said, "That should be it. Maybe he saw it when you passed by. Or there may be other reasons."
For a while, no one could guess the reason.
The silence was broken by Cannon, who said, "Do you think he can find his senior brother?"
"It's hard to say. Nowadays, transportation and communication are inconvenient. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. What's more, it's the end of the world with zombies everywhere." Li Yu shook his head and said.
After everyone finished talking, Li Yu patted his butt and said to Jackal: "Uncle Jackal, my third uncle said that you are amazing at flying knives. Can you teach me?"
Jackal said with some embarrassment: "Captain is complimenting me, my little trick is not on the table. Let's discuss it, discuss it. I didn't catch up to see you kill those people today, but Mr. Li, you I have some idea of his strength. It’s very strong.”
Li Yu waved his hand, and then followed Jackal to learn the skills of flying knives.
The cannon next to him pestered Lao Qin and asked for advice on shooting skills.
Li Tie also lowered the drone and found the ants.
The night is sultry, on the top floor of the center of the oil city.
A group of young people in their twenties were asking questions from a group of soldiers in their forties.
There are descendants from generation to generation, and as long as there are people, there is inheritance and there is a world.
Less than two hundred kilometers away from the Oil City.
Fengshan, Xinghua Township, An County.
A young man wearing tattered robes stood on top of this steep mountain.
The altitude of Fengshan Mountain is not high, but it is extremely steep. Some places even reach 90 degrees. The whole mountain is like this, making it extremely difficult to climb.
The most interesting moment is when this mountain is like a stone from the sky that landed in this place. There is no other mountain within three kilometers around it. It is all flat land. These flat lands used to be farmland before the end of the world, but now no one takes care of it. , overgrown with weeds.
The rugged mountain rocks have a slightly flat and smooth stone in the center.
The Taoist priest was sitting on a stone. The wind on the mountain was very strong, and there was no shelter around him, so the wind blew hard and blew his hair into a mess.
In front of him, there was a small fire.
Something seemed to be roasting on the fire.
Sizzling——
The Taoist priest quickly turned the roasted chicken around and roasted it on the back.
A long stick was inserted through the roasted chicken. After the Taoist priest turned it over, he inserted it back into the gap in the rugged stone.
The little Taoist priest looked outside the field and saw some vague mountain peaks in the distance, which seemed to be wrapped in a layer of gauze under the moonlight.
"If we hadn't met at the top of Qunyu Mountain, we would have met under the moonlight at Yaotai."
Inexplicably, a poem by Li Bai came to mind. I heard that Li Bai was a Taoist priest back then and had been looking for gods for several years.
"Brother, where are you?" The Taoist priest looked at the vast sky and earth, his broad and tattered sleeves and robes swaying in the wind.
There was a swishing sound.
Suddenly, the Taoist priest nuzzled his nose, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He quickly lifted up the stick wearing the roasted chicken and got away from the flames.
This pheasant was caught by him in this mountain this evening, a male, a female, and a nest of pheasant eggs.
However, he only caught one pheasant and kept the remaining pheasant to take care of the eggs.
Everything needs to be done appropriately, and nothing can be done to the fullest extent.
Seeing how golden and oily the roasted chicken was all over, with crispy skin, and the benefits of roasting it properly, my senior brother often praised him for the delicious roasted chicken. It's a pity that my senior brother doesn't know where he is now.
well.
He let out a sigh and couldn't bear the smell of the fragrant roast chicken anymore.
Um?
As if he just remembered, he quickly took out a mini gourd from his arms.
"I almost forgot about you." The little Taoist carefully poured some salt on the roast chicken from the mini gourd with his back to the wind.
Then he closed the lid and took a big bite.
"Yeah, it's delicious." He closed his eyes happily.
So satisfying.
It is full of fragrance in your mouth, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, mixed with the rich meat aroma, and the salt is like the finishing touch, making it extremely delicious.
The wings and chicken feet were grilled until they were crispy. Although there was no meat in them, they tasted the best.
He ate it in three gulps and felt a little dry.
I touched around and found the gourd hanging from my waist. I opened the lid and poured water into my mouth.
"It's gone?" Only a few drops of water poured out of the gourd. He licked the water that fell on his lips and murmured with some unfinished meaning.
Looking around, the bottom of the mountain is full of zombies. Although the zombies can't climb up, they can't get down now at night.
"If I had known, I would have packed some water during the day. I'm so thirsty."
He said somewhat helplessly.
"Um?"
Suddenly, he saw a wild banana growing ten meters away from him.
There was a hint of joy in his eyes.
He stood up with the sword in hand, and jumped up and down on the jagged rocks nimbly. His broad sleeves and robes fluttered, and his movements were graceful and unrestrained, giving him a feeling of immortality.
Click!
He chopped down the wild banana tree with one strike of his sword, and then quickly pulled out the bark of the banana tree with the sword in his hand.
Only a banana core with a diameter of less than three centimeters was left.
The water content in banana core exceeds 70%, which is actually equivalent to solid water.
Moreover, banana cores contain a large amount of sugar, which can improve internal heat, prevent gum swelling and pain, and promote gastrointestinal motility and digestion.
He just happened to have a bit of internal heat after eating roast chicken, so he ate some plantain cores to replenish water and reduce the internal heat.
Click——
Take one bite, it's sweet, moist, and silky
After eating and drinking, he lay down on the smooth stone slab.
Use the sky as your quilt and the earth as your bed.
Looking at the bright white moonlight and the gentle breeze caressing the mountain, he put the sword on his chest and rested quietly.
Oil city.
Since that day when Li Yu killed those people and hung their heads on the main entrance, the repair speed of the wall has inexplicably accelerated a lot.
Li Yu naturally knew the reason.
But he would not treat those people badly, so he increased the food provided to these collaborators by 30%.
Three days later, the wall repair work was completed.
Originally, their plan was to build it to a height of six meters, but after the actual repairs, it was a full meter higher.
Reached seven meters.
Li Yu was originally a little worried about whether the foundation below could withstand it, but he felt relieved after seeing some of the foundation stones poured under the wall.
The top and bottom are already integrated, so as long as the bottom is heavy enough, there won't be any major problems.
After repairing the wall, they continued to dig the trench outside.
This involves the security of the oil city and cannot be taken lightly.
Those collaborators who live outside originally finished repairing the wall, but now they have a new task, which is to dig a large trench outside the wall, centered on the Oil City Walled City.
This is great news for them, and they are extremely happy.
So I continued to invest in new projects.
