308 Desperate Situation
Thinking of this, a chill crawled up behind Qing Yi, making his hair stand on end.
Suddenly he raised his eyes and looked at his mother, "Where is the Snake Lord?"
Qing Yi also died once, and was kidnapped from the underworld by Xiao Hua. She was resurrected and is still alive today, so her mother's resurrection was not surprising.
Xiao Hua has this ability, and Snake Marquis, who is the Jade Emperor's prince, naturally also has this ability.
Yueniang said: "I don't know what Snake Marquis is planning. He went out last night and never came back. Today I only sent someone to take Xiaotao away so that I could have a chance to escape and find you. Ping'an, Mom, I'm sorry for you."
"Let's not talk about what has passed." Qing Yi will no longer be as obedient to her mother as she was before, sacrificing everything for her mother, including her love, but her mother can come back to life, what has passed is , she didn't want to care too much about it anymore, not to mention that now was not the time to care about the past.
She asked some more about the guards in Zengcheng, but Yueniang was trapped in the pavilion, and the Snake Marquis would never let her know about something important, so she knew nothing about what was going on outside.
When those people were taking Xiao Tao away, she overheard that the King of Northern Xinjiang met Qing Yi at the Mist Bamboo Forest, and they used Xiao Tao to tie up Qing Yi's hands and feet. ""
With the Snake Marquis absent, the guards would naturally be a little lazy, allowing her to find an opportunity to sneak into the foggy bamboo forest.
When I entered the forest, I found zombies everywhere.
While hiding from the zombies, she searched for Qing Yi. God was wise, and she found Qing Yi and Xiao Tao as she wished.
The foggy bamboo forest has been occupied by zombies, and they cannot return. Qing Yi looked at the other end of the mountain road and asked, "Mom, do you know where the front leads?"
The Duke of Chu and Yueniang were childhood sweethearts, and the Mist Bamboo Forest was the most beautiful place in Zengcheng. When they were young, they would go into the forest to hide and seek with the neighborhood children from time to time, so Yueniang was also quite familiar with the Mist Bamboo Forest, and it was this The reason allowed her to find Qing Yi in the forest.
Yueniang said: "Further ahead is the Xue family's cemetery, passing through the cemetery. It is about two miles. It is behind the foggy bamboo forest. There is a mountain road over there that can go down the mountain. After going down the mountain, go west for two miles. . It’s Zengcheng.”
Qing Yi made a quick decision. "Then we will go around this road to the back mountain to have a look. If the back mountain is like this, we will try to return to Zengcheng first."
If the news reaches Xiao Hua and others successfully on the eighth day of the lunar month, Xiao Hua and the others will evacuate Chengzeng. We also have to go through the city, so we should have news about them only when we get to Zengcheng.
Look at the sky, the sun has turned to the west, and when it gets dark, it will be even more dangerous. I don’t dare to delay any more, so I jump off the stone platform first and help my mother down. When I am about to help Xiaotao, Xiaotao suddenly steps on the edge of the stone. The moss slipped under his feet and fell into the cave.
Qing Yi secretly screamed that he saw a ghost, jumped back to the platform, squatted down at the entrance of the cave, looked down, it was extremely dark below, and Xiao Tao could not be seen, so he called softly: "Xiao Tao."
A slight moan came from Xiaotao inside the cave.
Qing Yi felt anxious and asked urgently: "Xiao Tao, how are you injured?"
Xiao Tao said: "I broke my foot and it hurts so much."
Qing Yi sighed, luckily, "Don't worry, I'll come down to save you." He held the hanging vines on the stone wall and was about to slide down. She looked back at her mother, then turned around and pointed Yueniang up the stone platform again. She was afraid that she would leave her mother alone, and she would not be able to take care of her if anything happened.
Sliding along the tree vines to the bottom of the cave, although the light at the bottom of the cave is not good, you can see clearly. Below is a cave connected on three sides, but I don't know where these three roads lead to.
Xiao Tao was sitting on the ground, with blood seeping from her light green skirt.
Qing Yi threw away her skirt and rolled up her underwear. She saw a bloody mess from her calf to her knees. She squeezed it with her hands and found that the calf bone was slightly fractured. It will be fine in two or three months. She breathed a sigh of relief, " It’s nothing serious, I’ll carry you up.”
Tears welled up in Xiao Tao's eyes, "Xiao Tao is useless, she always drags the lady down."
Qing Yi put Xiao Tao on her back and grabbed the tree vine, "What nonsense are you talking about? It's because of me that you ended up in this hellish place. I'm sorry."
Xiao Tao shook her head vigorously, "There are too many things Xiao Tao can't do with Miss."
"What are you bringing up after things that have passed?" There was an extra person on Qing Yi's back, and he could no longer move as quickly as one person. He climbed to about halfway up and listened to his mother calling in a low voice from above, "Peace, peace."
Qing Yi's heart skipped a beat, "What happened?"
Yueniang lay down as low as possible and looked fearfully in the direction of the foggy bamboo forest, "There are many zombies coming out of the forest and coming this way."
Qing Yi vaguely realized something, took a deep breath depressedly, and stopped, "Is there anything strange in the other direction?"
Yueniang said: "No."
Qing Yi said: "Before they notice you, stick to the mountain wall and leave in the other direction."
Yueniang said: "What about you?"
Qing Yi said: "We will think of another way."
Yueniang said firmly, "If you want to leave, we will leave together, if we want to stay, we will stay together. I will not leave alone."
Qing Yi knew how stubborn her mother was and had made up her mind, but no amount of persuasion was of any use.
Xiao Tao said: "Miss, please leave me alone and go alone." As she said that, she was about to loosen her hand around Qing Yi's neck.
Qing Yi glanced back at her, "If you dare to let go, I will jump down with you."
Xiao Tao's face changed, and she didn't dare to make her own decisions anymore.
Qing Yi took Xiao Tao up to the stone platform and looked forward. When he looked, he was covered in chicken skin. There were densely packed zombies in the forest. He didn't know how many there were.
The first zombie was already three steps away. If they went down at this time, they would definitely be discovered by the zombies.
The mother's feet were small and she couldn't run fast, and Xiao Tao had injuries on her legs. It was impossible for her to escape with the two of them alone.
She gently pulled her mother, who was lying on the stone platform, and motioned for her to lean back as much as possible with her and stay as far away from the edge of the stone platform as possible.
At this point, we can only gamble on luck and bet that these zombies are just passing by.
As for whether the road ahead will still be passable after they pass by, it is unknown.
But the zombies did not pass by the platform as she expected. Instead, they came straight towards the platform. In a blink of an eye, they surrounded the platform, waving at them with their claws and teeth, trying to catch them.
But the stone platform was as big as three tabletops, and the zombies' withered claws could barely reach across the stone platform, but they couldn't catch them leaning against the mountain wall.
Xiaotao's face turned pale, "They found us."
Mrs. Yue closed her eyes in despair, "They smell the blood on your legs."
Qing Yi cursed in a low voice, "Dog nose."
She couldn't help but secretly worry, even if they couldn't come up, if they didn't leave for a few days and nights, the three of them would starve to death here.
Looking around to see if there was anywhere else to escape, Xiao Tao suddenly grabbed her arm and said with a trembling voice: "They are coming up."
It turns out that the zombies are crowded with each other, and some of them will inevitably be pushed to the ground. The ones behind immediately step on the fallen zombies, and their bodies will naturally rise a little higher. If this continues, it will be a matter of time before they climb up.
Qing Yi finally changed his expression, shook his hand, and took a gamble, "Let's go into the hole."
Although I don't know where the next three roads lead, let alone whether they will be dead ends, there is always a glimmer of hope. If you stay here, there is only a dead end.
The three of them climbed down the cave along the tree vines. There was a faint light projection reflected at the end of one of the passages. Since it could transmit light, it meant that this passage was not very deep.
Qing Yi took Xiao Tao and headed towards this passage, with Yueniang following closely behind them.
The passage was indeed not long. After walking very far, I saw a ray of sunset reflected in the corner ahead.
The brilliance reflected on the stone wall, with a faint yellow halo, nothing special at all, but Qing Yi felt that this was the most beautiful sunset light she had ever seen, because as long as they turned this corner, they could escape from death.
Just like a person who has sunk into the sea and suddenly sees the land ahead, his heart beats wildly with joy, and his steps can't help but speed up.
He ran too fast and couldn't help but take in more breath.
His breath was filled with the rotten smell of zombies. At first, Qing Yi thought it was the smell coming from the zombies outside the cave, but logically the smell should have faded as they moved away. However, after the smell faded for a while, it became stronger and stronger.
Qing Yi's eyelids twitched, something was wrong, he stopped suddenly, and stared at the corner ahead without blinking, at the sunlight projection on the stone wall at the corner.
Yueniang bumped into her head first, and steadied herself, "Why..." Before she could finish her question, she heard a sound of squeezing coming from the front, and cold sweat instantly broke out on her forehead.
The whispering sound paused for a moment, then suddenly accelerated its rhythm and quickly approached. Judging from the distance from which the sound came, it was only five steps away from them at most.
During this pause, a zombie appeared around the corner, and then two, three, four, five... countless zombies appeared in their sight.
They saw the zombies, and the zombies also saw them, and suddenly they went crazy and stretched out their hands to chase them.
"Run away." Qing Yi shouted and ran towards the road quickly, but with the injured Xiao Tao, he couldn't run any faster.
Yueniang was frightened and frightened. She touched Xiao Tao's other arm, hoping to help Qing Yi run faster, but the footsteps behind her were getting closer and closer.
The flying hair was caught by the zombie running at the front. Yueniang's scalp was pulled as if it was about to be torn off, and she screamed.
Qing Yi looked back and saw, her eyes darkened, she swung the Red Water Sword in her hand and cut off the hand holding her mother's long hair. The zombies did not slow down in pursuit of them because of the broken hand.
Qing Yi turned around and chopped off her hands, but her figure was inevitably affected. In the blink of an eye, the zombies were chasing them closer, so close that they could even feel the coldness on their hands seeping into their skin through their clothes.
She felt despair for the first time, maybe because she had seen too much death. Even at this time, there was still no fear of death, only despair.
despairing of the unfair fate between heaven and earth.
