The night passed.
There was only a little flame left in the fire burning in the center.
Qingyang meditated all night. Although he did not fall asleep all night, he did not feel tired.
Closing his eyes reduced the amount of information he received from the outside world, allowing him to rest well while meditating.
Squeak~
The door that had been closed all night was pushed open by Niu Gao, and the morning light spilled into the house.
The morning sun is warm and gentle, with a healing aura.
The moment the sun shone in, Qingyang opened his eyes. It took him a few seconds to adapt to the light, and he slowly stood up.
Tap tap tap——
"What are you going to do?" Looking at Qingyang approaching, Sister Lan, who had just woken up, looked at him and asked.
Qingyang saluted, and then said: "Thank you for staying overnight last night. I'm going out at dawn. See you again if we have the chance."
After Sister Lan heard this, her consciousness became much clearer after she had just woken up, and she asked doubtfully: "Are you going to Oil City?"
Qingyang nodded slightly and said, "Yes."
"Oh, okay, then go ahead." Sister Lan nodded and said.
After last night, everything was fine.
At dawn the next day, the Taoist priest will leave.
This also made Sister Lan and the others relieved. It seemed that the Taoist priest's sudden arrival last night was an accident.
After Qingyang said hello, he turned around and walked out the door.
Niu Gao, who had just opened the door, looked at Qingyang who was slowly walking towards him, narrowed his eyes, saw Sister Lan behind him waving to him, and reluctantly got out of the way.
Seeing this, Qingyang nodded slightly and walked outside.
Sister Lan, Niu Gao and others walked out of the house and watched Qingyang walk out of the wall and walk towards the oil city.
Niu Gao was a little curious and said to Sister Lan: "Sister Lan, why don't we go and have a look? I would like to see if this guy will go to Oil City as he said yesterday."
Sister Lan was noncommittal, but her actions already told the answer.
She watched the little Taoist priest go away and followed him from a distance.
soon.
They saw this little Taoist priest walking towards the Oil City at a leisurely pace, facing the rising sun.
The rising sun stretched the little Taoist priest's back very long. No one knew what would happen after the little Taoist priest passed by.
There were other survivors in the small village. Two early risers saw Sister Lan and Niu Gao standing on the roadside and walked over curiously.
"What are you doing so early? Well, who is that person? Looking at this direction, he is going to Oil City?"
Sister Lan ignored him. Instead, Niu Gao next to her said enthusiastically to the person who asked the question: "I'm telling you, last night..."
........
Ten minutes later.
Taoist Qingyang was less than a hundred meters away from the Oil City. Not far away, he saw trenches dug on the ground with concrete at the bottom.
It seems that water has been added to the groove, and it is sparkling when it is illuminated by the sun.
These excavated trenches have not drained out the oil yet. A layer of concrete and sand was just laid down two days ago. The sun was very strong these two days. In order to prevent the concrete from being exposed to the sun and to improve the solidity of the concrete, , so a layer of water was sprinkled on top.
As he approached Oil City, the scene in Oil City became clearer.
At the main entrance in the middle of the wall, and on the left and right walls, there are two people standing with firearms. Next to them is a machine gun, and there is a person sitting behind each.
In addition to these four people, some people further on the fence can also be seen, patrolling back and forth.
Just when Qingyang was about to continue walking forward, a sharp voice came from the other side of the wall: "Stop! If we move forward we will shoot."
The guard stared at Qingyang, with the safety on the gun in his hand, his finger on the trigger, and the muzzle of the gun pointed at Qingyang. If this person made any move, he would
Can shoot.
They had seen the Taoist priest a kilometer away. If they hadn't seen that he was not carrying a firearm or driving, so they had not tried to dissuade him. Unexpectedly, this man walked all the way to the door without fear.
The guards couldn't help it anymore and spoke to stop him.
Qingyang heard the guard's warning and retracted his foot that he had just stepped out. Looking at the guards on the wall wearing regular military uniforms and holding uniform firearms, he became more convinced that this place was the military.
From a distance of a hundred meters, normal speech was inaudible, and he didn't have a speaker like the man on the wall to speak.
So in order to make the people on the wall hear clearly, he could only get angry and shouted loudly: "Ignorant Qingyangzi, come to visit."
The voice was loud and powerful, and came slowly.
The guards looked at each other.
"What's the fuss about?" one person said in confusion.
"Ask him what he wants to do, and if he has nothing to do, tell him to get out. This is not something just anyone can enter."
"good."
So a guard took a loudspeaker and shouted: "This place is not open to the public, what do you want?"
Hearing this, Qingyang thought for a while and said, "I want to meet your leader. A few days ago, a helicopter rescued me from the zombies. I came here to say thank you."
"Helicopter? Did Mr. Li and the others encounter it when they came back a few days ago?"
"I don't know. Hurry up and inform Mr. Li and the others. Where is Captain Bi?"
"We are on patrol. I just called Captain Bi. Today, Mr. Li and the others are going back to the Da Zhangshu Base. They are with Mr. Li now."
"Okay, ask the person outside to wait."
The guard holding the loudspeaker shouted to Qingyang: "Wait a moment."
When Qingyang heard this, he crossed his hands and held them in front of him, waiting quietly.
........
Sister Lan, Niu Gao and others at the edge of the small village watched Qingyang stop a hundred meters away from the oil city.
"Why did he stop?"
"I don't know, let's take a look."
Meanwhile, Oil City Center.
Li Yu watched Cannon and the others put away the water pipes used to add water to the vehicle, turned his head and said to Zuo Ruxue and Lao Bi in front of him:
"We'll be leaving soon, so I'll leave this to you.
Lao Bi, let me remind you again that you must do a good job of protection here. If you have any questions, please contact me via the military radio at any time.
Zuo Ruxue, you also need to familiarize yourself with the equipment in the oil plant during this period, including smelting and the like..."
"OK."
"OK."
The two replied in unison.
Li Yu nodded and was about to continue speaking when Lao Bi's walkie-talkie rang next to him.
After hearing the news about the guards on the wall, Lao Bi raised his head in surprise and said to Li Yu: "Mr. Li, a Taoist priest came outside and said that a few days ago..."
Li Yu was standing next to him. He naturally heard what the person on duty said to Lao Bi. After thinking for a few seconds, he said to Lao Bi: "Let's go and have a look at the wall. Speaking of this Taoist priest, I’m also very curious.”
Li Yu was naturally very curious. When Dongfeng and the others came here, they heard news from a Taoist priest who was coming to Gan City in the south.
Zhong Chuchu said the same thing.
In addition, Jackal also mentioned not long ago that Taoist priests went down to save people on Sanqing Mountain.
The most important thing is that they did meet a Taoist priest on their way from the Da Zhangshu Base to Oil City this time.
At that time, Li Yu thought that this Taoist priest was quite skilled and could persist for so long among so many zombies.
After walking a few steps, Li Yu stopped and said to Zuo Ruxue: "Just in time, go and call Zhong Chuchu and the others over to see if they are the same Taoist priest. I have heard it said so many times, come here now , finally we can meet each other."
Zuo Ruxue nodded, and for a moment she was a little curious about the Taoist priest outside the wall.
soon.
Li Yu came to the wall. After hearing the news, Cannon, Li Tie, and Uncle Jackal all rushed over.
Li Yu looked at the Taoist priest outside the wall with a telescope.
Looking carefully, he could confirm that this Taoist priest was the Taoist priest they met on the road a few days ago.
After not seeing each other for a few days, the Taoist priest's robe became even more torn and dusty. It looked like he had walked all the way here after that day.
It only took them two hours to fly the helicopter, but it took several days for the Taoist priest to get here.
It is not an easy task to come from such a long distance. Driving is already very tiring, let alone walking.
You should consider the problem of avoiding zombies at night, the lack of physical strength for walking every day, etc.
"Well, it should be him." Li Yu handed the telescope in his hand to Li Tie next to him.
Li Tie took the telescope and saw more clearly.
He said with some sour teeth: "What the hell is this cruel person? He came all the way here just to say thank you?"
The third uncle looked at the Taoist priest quietly, with an incomprehensible expression, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The jackal, on the other hand, looked happy, with a hint of admiration on his face.
"Let him come in!" Li Yu said to Lao Bi.
When Lao Bi heard this, he said with some surprise: "Should we just let him enter the Oil City?"
Li Yu nodded and said, "Just follow the process."
Lao Bi understood, and then he shouted to the Taoist priest with a loudspeaker: "Come here."
In the distance, on the edge of a small village.
Niu Gao watched the Taoist priest standing for a while, then continued walking to the oil city.
"Move. Look, the Taoist priest has really passed by. Guess whether he will shoot."
"I won't bet with you." A man next to him said angrily.
"Tsk, I don't even dare to do this. Okay."
...
When Lao Bi saw the Taoist priest walking under the wall, less than ten meters away, he said, "For the sake of safety in the city, please open the Taoist robe and take a look."
Qingyang had no choice but to lift off the tattered Taoist robe. It was empty, with only a small package on his back.
Li Yu waved his hand and said, "No need."
Looking at the Taoist priest below, he asked: "I am the person in charge, what do you want?"
Qingyang put on his Taoist robe, raised his head and saw Li Yu, and recognized that it was the man who helped him that day.
A very familiar person, he had seen him more than once.
So he thought about it and said, "Qingyang, a poor fellow, has met all of you.
I came here to express my gratitude.
A few days ago, I was trapped in a zombie wave. Thanks to the help of lay people, I was able to escape from the zombie wave.
grateful. "
After speaking, he saluted Li Yu to express his gratitude.
Li Yu shook his head and said, "With a little effort, what's the second thing you do here?"
It has to be said that Li Yu saw the Taoist priest again, only ten meters away, and saw it more clearly. The Taoist priest in front of him was the person with the cleanest eyes he had ever seen.
He had never thought that there would be such a pair of pure eyes in the apocalypse.
This Taoist priest should not be too old. In addition to what Uncle Jackal said he saw on Sanqing Mountain before, and now he just saved him casually, this Taoist priest came so far to express his thanks, and he couldn't help but admire him in his heart.
He has kind thoughts in his heart that are rare in the apocalypse, and he has good skills.
Such people are as rare as creatures about to become extinct in the apocalypse.
.......
Coincidentally, at this time, Zhong Chuchu, whom Zuo Ruxue informed, also arrived.
As soon as Zhong Chuchu stood on the wall, she saw Qingyang outside the wall and blurted out
Then came out: "Taoist Priest Qingyang!"
When Qingyang heard this, he couldn't see the figures on the wall clearly because it was morning and he was facing backlight.
After looking at it for two seconds, I saw Zhong Chuchu clearly on the wall. With a smile on his face, he said, "Jun Zhong, we meet again."
When Li Yu saw this scene, it seemed that he was the same person. It seemed that Dongfeng met the same person as Zhong Chuchu and the others.
After thinking about it, he said to Lao Bi: "Open the door and let him in."
Then he said to Qingyang: "Come in and talk."
After all, he is looking down at others now and is quite disrespectful to them.
After hearing this, Lao Bi called down and asked someone to open the city gate.
After Qingyang saw the city gate being slowly pushed open, he walked slowly inside without hesitation.
At this time, Li Yu was curious and wanted to ask him.
Why did he know that Gan City could go, and why when he met Dongfeng and Zhong Chuchu, he asked them to come to Gan City.
How did he know?
The answers to all this can be known immediately, which inexplicably makes Li Yu a little excited.
The door opened and Qingyang stepped in.
When he came in, he saw the vehicles, tanks and infantry transport vehicles that Li Yu and others were ready to set off.
There was also the familiar helicopter he saw a few days ago.
After he came in, Lao Bi asked someone to close the door immediately, and then watched him vigilantly. If he made any move, he would be waiting with bullets.
After all, the sneak attack on Li Yu happened just a few days ago. He didn't dare to let his guard down anymore.
Li Yu also came down from the wall, and Zhong Chuchu, Uncle Lan, and Shen Xiaoxiao all came down.
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Qingyang and said familiarly: "Master Qingyang, long time no see. I heard that you came here after a long absence?"
Qingyang smiled and nodded and said, "Yeah, it's okay, it won't be long."
Li Yu coughed twice. He still had many questions to ask. He had to return to Da Zhangshu Base today and he didn't have much time to chat here.
Shen Xiaoxiao closed his mouth.
Qingyang also looked at Li Yu.
Li Yu asked: "How many things did you just say you came here for? The thank you just now is the first thing, what about the second thing?"
Hearing this, Qingyang thought for a while and said, "In the year of troubled times, Pindao and his senior brothers went down the mountain to rescue people. Unfortunately, he and his senior brothers were separated in a zombie wave more than half a year ago. I have been looking for them since then, thinking Excuse me, have you ever seen Taoist priests wearing Taoist robes? One is tall and thin, and the other is short and fat."
Li Yu suddenly remembered that Dongfeng and the old Dong had also said that they met a Taoist priest who was looking for his senior brother.
It seems that this Taoist priest is still looking for his senior brother.
However, Li Yu had not seen it before. He turned to Lao Bi, Lao Luo, Li Tie and others next to him and asked, "Have you seen it?"
Everyone shook their heads, saying that they had never seen it before.
After Qingyang saw that they all said they hadn't seen him, he was visibly disappointed. He had been looking for it for a long time in the past six months.
When I was at the Taoist temple, many things were done by my senior brothers. Later, after I got separated from my senior brothers, I encountered many things that troubled me.
I searched for more than half a year, from south to north, but couldn't find it.
"Alas..." Qingyang sighed leisurely.
Li Yu, who was standing opposite Qingyang, could no longer suppress his curiosity and asked Qingyang: "I answered your questions, can you answer some of my questions too?"
"Do you know Dongfeng? He's over there at Poyang Lake."
"I've seen it."
"You have met Dongfeng and the others, and you know Zhong Chuchu and the others. According to what they said, when they were fleeing, you gave them advice to come to Gan City in the south? Why? Do you know anything about us? How do you know us? "
Li Yu asked several questions in succession. He had been curious about these questions for a long time.
.
.......
It is on the edge of a small village two kilometers away from the oil city.
Niu Gao, Sister Lan and others were stunned to see the gate of Oil City opened and the Taoist priest walked in.
Niu Gao said in disbelief: "How is it possible? This is unreasonable."
Someone next to me said, "If I had known earlier, I would have made a bet with you."
Sister Lan looked at the slowly closing door and didn't know why.
There was a smile on her face that she couldn't even detect.
"I just said, what he said is true, ha!"
.........
