Chapter 128:
Practitioners are always light sleep and alert, especially in an unfamiliar environment, especially women. No need for Yang Shou to call, Li Han'er woke up automatically.
She rubbed her eyes, glanced at her watch, and quietly got up and walked over.
"Go to sleep, I'll watch." She said to Yang Shou.
Yang Shou nodded and was about to get up when a movement came from the forest behind him.
It sounded like something was stepping on a branch on the ground, but Yang Shouyi and Li Haner keenly caught it.
The two looked at each other, one went to wake the others, and the other got up and walked a few steps towards the sound.
The direction of the forest was dark, and I couldn't see anything clearly. The flashlight was flickering, and the visibility was not that far.
The others were woken up one after another, and everyone moved very quickly. They all slept in their clothes and holding weapons. At this time, they crawled out of their sleeping bags, and they were all awake.
"There was a sound just now, like someone or an animal stepped on the branch, it might be a false alarm, but I think it's better to wake you up." Yang Shouyi said apologetically.
"Be careful sailing the ship for ten thousand years. Anything can happen in this place. Be cautious." The Winter Solstice gave him a compliment, got up and walked forward with the long guard sword. "I'll go take a look, you guys are waiting in place."
"Let's go together." Li Han'er said, the people were already behind, and the others didn't say much, but they all followed. The winter solstice warmed my heart, so I had to let them go.
Before departure, the American William disclosed several important information to them.
First, on these islands, there are monsters from Western myths and legends, such as the banshee Harpie with eagle claws and eagle wings, and the black rooster Gu Lincolnbi.
Second, William said that he didn't know much, and the above two monsters were just one of them. There must be unknown dangers waiting for them, and they should not be taken lightly.
What is the combat effectiveness and true temperament of those far-off creatures, they have no concept of the winter solstice. Myths are just myths after all.
Just like Wuzhiqi is a legendary monster who makes troubles and causes trouble, but I have personally encountered it in the Winter Solstice, and found that it is not only not a scourge, but actually sticks to its promises more than human beings. Its enemies and friends are dead, but it has been guarding the stele. If it hadn't been eroded by demonic energy, there would never have been any incidents where students from Shencheng were killed.
But one thing is for sure, never underestimate these monsters.
They may often have intelligence that is not inferior to human beings. The organizing committee thinks that they can control the competition within a reasonable range. In fact, it is not necessarily. The winter solstice has a vague premonition that this time the archipelago competition may slide to an impossible situation. controlled abyss.
Just as he was thinking, a few people slowly stepped forward and came to the place where Yang Shouyi and the others heard the movement just now.
Nothing.
But there are indeed branches on the ground.
When the winter solstice bent over to pick it up, the branch had been broken in two, but the bark was still sticking.
"careful!"
When Liu Qingbo blurted out, his hand had already stretched out, grabbed the arm of the Winter Solstice, and pulled him towards him!
At the same time, just at the place where the Winter Solstice was standing, a hand jumped out of the soil. The five fingers were long and sharp. He wanted to grab the back of the Winter Solstice's ankle, but was interrupted by Liu Qingbo and grabbed it.
The reason why the winter solstice didn't pay attention to his feet just now is because he has been paying attention to the top.
Yang Shouyi slashed over with his sword, and the hand was directly cut off by him, but more hands emerged from the soil around them and grabbed at them.
"There is something on the tree, go back to where you are!" The Winter Solstice suddenly shouted.
Almost as soon as he made a sound, a black shadow swept straight down from the tree, and his figure was as fast as lightning!
Li Haner and Zhang Song fired their swords at the same time, and it was only in the winter solstice that she realized that Li Haner's Fu Jian Shuangxiu was well-deserved, her sword would never be much slower than anyone present, two sword lights flashed, blocking the shadow for a while, but the shadow The momentum came too fast, and Li and Zhang were also bounced back.
The shadow was about to pounce on them, and the second sword of the Winter Solstice and Liu Qingbo had arrived!
The sound of breaking the sky came, but it was Liu Si's whip shadow heavily on the back of the monster, causing it to let out a roar.
Rao is a monster with extremely fast speed and strong attack power. It was also a little embarrassed under the siege of these five people. It quickly looked at the sky and jumped into the depths of the forest.
Zhang Song subconsciously wanted to chase, but was quickly grabbed by the Winter Solstice.
"Don't chase! Go!"
The six hurriedly left the forest and returned to their original resting place.
The bonfire is almost burning, and only a small flame remains, which will be extinguished in the cold wind.
Everyone looked at each other in dismay. Just now, the situation was sudden. Although it was not a moment of life and death, it also meant that it was a bit of a shock.
"It seems that the message that tree sent me is correct." Liu Si broke the silence, "It says that the forest is a place of death, and the further you go, the more dangerous it is."
Li Han'er bent over to pick up some firewood and threw it into the fire to rekindle the fire and bring warmth to people again.
Liu Qingbo said: "But it also means that golden apples are most likely to appear in the forest."
Yang Shouyi frowned and said, "How come those things just now look like zombies?"
Zhang Song pouted: "Haven't you experienced the zombie simulation of the Special Administration Bureau? Those things are zombies, but I guess the Americans must have upgraded the version here. The one who just jumped down from the tree and attacked us was probably the last time. The kind of advanced version we encountered, with rudimentary intelligence."
Li Haner said: "At that time, Bureau Song wanted to let Yang Shouyi and me experience the simulated system, but the system seemed to be poisoned on the day of the experience. After killing the virus for a day, it was delayed."
Crowd: ...
The corners of his mouth twitched on the winter solstice: "Why is a high-tech product cooperating between China and the United States also infected with a virus?! Are the operating system people watching **** every day with that system!"
Yang Shouyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "So what are we going to do now?"
The winter solstice pondered: "Since we have already arrived on the island, we must go to the forest, but it is too dangerous at night. We will start again during the day. Before it gets dark tomorrow evening, no matter if we can find anything, we must leave the forest. I There seems to be a line between here and the forest, and as long as we don't cross that line, we're safe."
This opinion is the safest, although Zhang Song felt that the head of the regiment was a little too cautious, but the winter solstice is for everyone's safety, and other people naturally have no opinion.
Liu Si smiled and said, "Didn't the Japanese also go to an island with us, maybe they are in a daze right now!"
Liu Qingbo: "Let me just say, Yankees love zombies so much, they will definitely make an island for it. No, my prediction has come true!"
Winter Solstice: "Thank you, then please predict that we will have a smooth journey in the future!"
Liu Qingbo scratched his face: "I feel a bit difficult, maybe we will meet a horror zombie ... !!"
Dongzhi and Liu Si, who were sitting on either side of him, stretched out their hands to cover Liu Qingbo's crow's mouth with lightning speed.
With Liu Qingbo's reaction, Rao couldn't avoid these two hands, so he could only slap their hands away and roll his eyes hard.
Li Han'er couldn't help laughing.
With Winter Solstice and Liu Qingbo around, it seems that no matter how big the problem is, it won't be frustrating.
In the second half of the night, everyone was able to spend the rest of the night peacefully. In order to make sure everything was safe, Li Han'er also placed a simple talisman around the area where they were resting. As long as something approached, they would react immediately.
Due to the fog, the day on the island came later than outside, but the night came earlier, which means that the daytime is very short, so just as the sky was getting bright, everyone packed up and began to enter the forest.
Winter Solstice said: "I remember when I participated in the zombie simulation before, those zombies were all graded, the most common ones should be the ones that appeared on the ground last night, and the second-tier ones were the ones that ambush us in the trees. Its action is very fast, and it already has low-level intelligence. There is another kind that Li Ying and the others encountered. It has higher intelligence and can even pretend to be 'invisible' like a chameleon. I suspect that there are not many Yankees. Studying the third type of zombie, we must be more careful later, and try not to get scattered after entering the woods."
Li Han'er thought about it, took out a few bells from her backpack, and distributed it to everyone, one for each.
"This kind of bell can sense the enemy's attack, that is, it will ring at the moment the enemy attacks you. The time is very short, but it is better than nothing."
Even if it is only a second or half a second, people can quickly prepare and reduce casualties.
Everyone put bells on their bodies and went deep into the forest step by step.
Every once in a while, Liu Si would communicate with the trees in the forest, but according to him, the forest was covered with the breath of death, and the roots of the trees had gradually decayed. These trees could not provide any useful information, and could only tell Liu Si, The Americans are likely to use this island as an experimental base for cultivating zombies. Later, when they found that the situation was out of control, they decisively abandoned it, and all the creatures here were also infiltrated by corpse poison.
After hearing this, Liu Qingbo scolded: "I knew the Yankees didn't have a good heart. They threw all the **** here, and then let us clean up the **** for him!"
Winter Solstice smiled: "Maybe the situation on William's side is worse than ours, at least we haven't met the eagle-claw banshee he said, and the leaders didn't send us to die. If they really do this, they will exchange meetings in the future. There is no need to continue to hold it, they will definitely not sit idly by in Wu Bureau and Dragon Bureau!"
Liu Qingbo rolled his eyes, and was about to say that when we are here, the day lily will be cold, and we still talk about revenge and not revenge. After thinking about it, he feels that this is too destructive to his prestige, so he changed the topic: "Speaking of the Dragon Bureau and them. , is there another mission?"
The winter solstice thinks that they are on an island in the Atlantic Ocean that is 18,000 miles away. If you know it, you will know it. There is no possibility of leaking. When they go back, Long Shen and their mission should have been completed long ago, so he nodded: " Yes."
Zhang Song suddenly asked: "Wu Bureau and Long Bureau they went to Japan?"
Winter Solstice accident: "How do you know?"
Zhang Song cut a sigh: "Before we left, only Song Bureau showed up, and only Song Bureau spoke. For such a major event as an exchange conference, in normal times, Wu Bureau is such a person who loves to show, and he will definitely not let anyone go. The opportunity to perform, this time is so abnormal, there must be another task."
Winter Solstice: ... that makes sense, but he was speechless.
Everyone couldn't help looking at Wu Ju's nephew who was "showing love".
Yang Shouyi said: "You continue, I didn't hear anything."
Zhang Song said: "We have been looking for the stone tablet for so long, but there is no clue. Everyone is saying that the thief will be captured first, and the leaders must have thought of it. Only by finding the tortoise grandson of Otoyu Jiuyan, everything can be solved."
Winter Solstice gives a thumbs up: "Contemporary Di Renjie!"
Liu Qingbo laughed.
Although everyone chatted, their attention was always highly concentrated, and they did not relax more than half a point.
At this moment, Liu Si, who was walking at the end, suddenly rang the bell on his body!
Then, on the winter solstice at the front, the bells around the waist also tinkled!
There are enemies in both directions!
This thought rose in my mind, and the next second, there was a sound in the air, very subtle, if you didn't listen carefully, you couldn't hear it at all - a tree suddenly jumped out from the tree closest to the winter solstice, and the other person was born like a The bark is ordinary, and there is no breath at all, so when they passed by the winter solstice just now, they didn't find it for a while!
In the blink of an eye, Dongzhi realized that this should be the kind of zombie that Li Ying had encountered before. He was extremely intelligent and could pretend to be "invisible", but he didn't expect that his words would be a prophecy, and he would meet him so quickly. superior.
The opponent's speed was extremely fast, but the winter solstice had already held the sword in his hand, and the moment he heard the movement, he also used the sword. The sword pierced into the flesh, and soon a blood hole was twisted in the monster's chest and abdomen, but the monster did not retreat but advanced, and its claws remained Grabbing it towards him, the pressure of the opponent's body quickly pressed against him, and the Winter Solstice was hit by it and made him retreat again and again.
At the same time, Liu Qingbo's sword swept over. This sword was powerful, and the power of the Demon Slayer Sword was rare in the world, and it directly slashed the monster's head out from behind.
But this is not the end. Liu Si also encountered a high-level zombie monster. Li Han'er is working with him to deal with it. The others did not have time to rescue, and suddenly stretched out countless ghost hands from the soil to grab everyone, ten fingers sharp , a claw can penetrate the clothing and go straight into the skin. Those nails are still purple-black on a closer look. This is a typical corpse poison. Once the skin is scratched, it may be infected with the corpse poison and gradually become a walking corpse.
During the last training, it was in this simulated environment that Winter Solstice lost several teammates, but it was just a simulation after all. Now these zombies are real, but compared to that time, they are now stronger. Many, dealing with these things, of course, is not a problem.
At this time, the six people spontaneously occupied a position, and they were not too far away from each other, so that it was convenient to rescue teammates and be rescued in time.
The high-level monster that attacked Liu Si was extremely difficult to deal with, and the opponent's intelligence seemed to be no less than that of humans. Seeing Liu Si and the others came prepared and powerful, they immediately retreated and retreated, and they disappeared completely within a second. With the concealment of the breath and the overwhelming forest, even Liu Si could not find its existence in it.
The other few people have been cleaning up the ghost hands that appeared on the ground. Zhang Song's fire talisman played an extraordinary effect at this time. When he put down the talisman, a fire was ignited, and the ghost hands struggled and wailed in the fire. , was quickly burned to coke.
Liu Qingbo said casually, "It's better to set fire to this piece of wood, just to destroy all these **** zombies!"
The corners of Zhang Song's mouth twitched: "Do you want to die from exhaustion, how much talisman fire!"
Winter Solstice also smiled bitterly: "Brother, don't joke, this forest can't be burnt clean for three days and three nights!"
They still have time to talk. It can be seen that although these zombies are annoying, they are not a big threat to them. This is due to the fact that there is no pig teammate in the team. All of them are very powerful. If you release any one, you can stand on your own. Song's talisman fire is exactly the nemesis of zombies. If you change the team, it may not be so smooth.
Zhang Song burned down a few talismans and burned at least a hundred ghost hands. Those ghost hands seemed to know the fear, and finally stopped appearing, and even those high-level zombies who could hide never appeared again.
Even so, the Winter Solstice still reminds everyone to be careful, because no one knows if there are zombies watching them secretly, and the bell given by Li Haner will not ring as long as the enemy is not close.
Once these zombies have intelligence, they are very difficult enemies. They have enough patience to lurk and wait in the dark until humans relax their vigilance, which is the moment they succeed. The will and endurance of ordinary people, as well as weak bodies, are destined to be It is not an opponent of zombies, like the invisible zombies just now, its strength is actually very strong, the sword stabbed in the winter solstice just now, because it did not hurt the vital point, and the zombies did not feel pain, so they still roared towards the winter solstice and grabbed them, The explosive power of the other party in an instant is a bit too much for the winter solstice, let alone ordinary people.
The surroundings regained calm, and Li Han'er found that there were no bird calls in the forest, as if it had completely lost its vitality. It was more like dead silence than calm.
She told this feeling, only to know that her companions had already noticed it, Liu Si said: "When those trees couldn't give me any information, I felt that this island, except for us and the Japanese, , there may be no other living creatures."
Maybe there were, but they were all wiped out by zombies, and the Americans surrounded the forest, and the zombies could not leave the forest, that is to say, even if an alien creature was infected with the corpse poison, it could not leave the forest, but could only enter but not exit. It eliminates the possibility of these things escaping to the outside world.
Inside and outside the forest are like two worlds.
Not long after the crowd walked forward, they heard a woman's voice, hurried and panicked, and suddenly rose high.
Li Haner said: "It seems that the Japanese are calling for help!"
Liu Qingbo said slowly: "Go slow, go slow, let them fend for themselves, it's better to wait for us to pass, they have already died."
Because of Otowa Hatohiko's matter, everyone has no good opinion of Dongyang. Although the others didn't speak, they actually thought the same thing. After thinking about the winter solstice for a while, he decided to go and have a look, and he blocked other people's opinions in one sentence.
"What if the other party has already got the golden apple?"
The call was not far from here. After a few minutes of running away, they saw a young woman trapped in two second-level zombies. She was holding a long stick in her hand with a rope wrapped around it, struggling to fight with the zombies. fight.
The second-level zombies are agile, although they are not "invisible", they move fast and have strong attack power. It is very difficult for her to deal with two zombies alone, and the two zombies seem to be afraid of the long stick in her hand and dare not get too close, etc. When a woman's physical strength is exhausted, she is completely reduced to a zombie prey.
Her skills are actually very good, but her fists are hard to beat with four palms. One of the zombies rushes up, and she is slammed into the head and flew out in an instant. When the woman heard the movement behind her, before the stick could be retracted, she couldn't help but feel a little despair, thinking that she would definitely be able to escape.
In fact, she had glimpsed the Winter Solstice not far away, but she didn't think the Chinese would be willing to save her. Maybe they just waited for them to be bitten to death by zombies, and then took action to deal with these zombies. Thinking of this, Yoshida Noriko She didn't ask for help either, she closed her eyes and waited for death to come.
But the **** of death did not come as scheduled, and her neck was not bitten off by the zombies.
A talisman came from another direction and threw it directly on the head of the zombie that rushed towards her. Together with the upper body of the zombie, the upper body instantly caught fire. The monster fell heavily to the ground. Yoshida Noriko opened her eyes and watched the burning zombie slam into her. He stumbled over and couldn't help but take a few steps back. With a stick, the zombies on fire were instantly swept away. Together with the one that landed just now, Liu Siliang whipped his head away.
The feeling of escaping from the dead made Yoshida Noriko's face look dazed for a moment, and the frightened emotions quickly calmed down.
"Thank you very much, my name is Yoshida Noriko." She bowed to them at the Winter Solstice in blunt Chinese.
Zhang Song pouted, if it wasn't for the Winter Solstice request, he would never have taken action.
"You're welcome." Winter Solstice said.
Of course, he didn't like these Japanese too much, but between humans and zombies, only humans are allies. If those zombies kill Yoshida, it will be their turn next. For zombies, the killing will never stop unless there are no more living creatures in the world. Their arrival will undoubtedly make the hungry zombies on the island smell delicious.
"What about your companions?"
Yoshida's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "We are separated. I have a companion who was overtaken by zombies not far ahead. Can you come with me to rescue him?"
Liu Qingbo laughed: "Your companion was overtaken by zombies, why are you here, leaving him to escape alone?"
Yoshida hurriedly said: "No, we all ran for our lives and got separated by accident. There were two other people. We had a disagreement, and I left with the other person..."
She didn't say much, and the Winter Solstice was actually a lot wary of her. She didn't answer her request to save people, but said, "We have to move on. If you want to go, let's go together. I don't promise to save your companion."
Yoshida was a little disappointed, but she also knew that she didn't have the ability, so she couldn't force others. Now that she has only one person, it is naturally safer to follow the big army, so she agreed immediately.
She seems to know that other people don't like her very much, so she just follows the winter solstice.
On the winter solstice, she saw a stick tied with a rope on her hand, "Are you a witch?"
Yoshida nodded: "Yes, I am the shrine maiden of Meiji Shrine."
Winter Solstice Zhuangruo smiled unintentionally: "Then you should also know Fujikawa Aoi, right? I heard that he is a famous priest and Onmyoji of your Japanese practitioners."
Yoshida whispered: "Since ancient times, priests and onmyoji have been two completely different professions. Mr. Fujikawa is the only master who can practice both, and he is also a model of Japanese practice."
Winter Solstice couldn't tell from this sentence whether she and Fujikawa Aoi were on the same road, and didn't ask any further.
"Mr. Winter..." Yoshida wanted to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by a movement not far away.
Before she could react, Liu Qingbo, Zhang Song and the others had already raised their swords and swept out, and collided with the second-level zombies who were also rushing towards them. Two more third-level zombies were hiding in the dark. Taking advantage of Liu Qingbo and Zhang Song's lack of skills, they stared at the Winter Solstice and their group, quietly went around behind them, and attacked unexpectedly from behind.
They move very fast, but they have Li Haner's bells on their bodies on the winter solstice, and they are mentally prepared. Now they turn around and sway their swords, and the sword energy directly bounces the zombies away, but the fighting power of this monster is far stronger than those of ordinary zombies. After half a second, he grabbed another hand towards the body of the sword and the other hand towards the head of the Winter Solstice. The Winter Solstice bent over to avoid it, and was about to sweep away the zombies with the sword when the stick of Yoshida Noriko swung over. Directly beat the zombie to the side, the other party seemed to be provoked, turned his head and rushed towards her.
Li Haner is facing a second-level zombie, which is fast, but does not hide its body shape. The opponent not only has sharp claws, but also has fangs that can cut gold and jade. It looked very disgusting. Li Haner didn't want to be splashed by the monster's sticky saliva. In the early stage, she always defended more than attacked. Later, the monster thought she had figured out her routine and rushed in the direction she was accustomed to avoiding. Unexpectedly, Li Han'er slashed the sword at this moment, and Zhang Song's sword light slashed behind him, one after the other with Li Han'er's sword, and just ended the monster.
"There is someone there!" Li Han'er gasped for breath.
Zhang Song looked in the direction she indicated, and sure enough, there was a little corner of his clothes behind the tree, and it seemed that someone was lying there.
The two walked over to take a look and found that it was one of the Japanese with Yoshida Noriko.
"Mr. Watanabe!"
Yoshida ran over, his face pale.
A blood hole the size of a bowl opened in the opponent's chest, revealing the white bones underneath, which seemed to be torn off by the monster. Judging from the pained expression on his face, one can imagine the torture he experienced before he died.
Zhang Song bent down and found that Watanabe made a fist in his right hand, as if he was holding something. He stretched out his hand to break it, but the other party was so tight that he didn't break it apart. Zhang Song used some strength to pull out two silver coins from his palm.
The author has something to say: the Dragon Bureau will not be skipped, it is also an important battlefield
ps, in order not to forget the settings, please remind the previous article that the golden apple is the champion item, and the silver coin is the second item that determines the ranking. If no one finds the golden apple, the winner will be determined by the number of silver coins. If the golden apple is found, the golden apple will be the first.
