Tomb Robber: Oops, I think I met a tomb robber.

Group leader Xiao Fubao: What is your progress now? How is the pollution cleanup going?

As soon as Xiao Fubao came out, everyone in the group paused for a moment, and soon someone reported the situation on his side.

Zhang Shougui: The Tu Lu people are already rushing to the next garrison. Everything in front has been cleared. There is only 30% left on the route. It can be completed within two months.

Zhang Haiqing: There are still 40% left on Wumian's side. There was a troublesome garrison before, and the amount of talisman paper consumed was about twice as much.

Wang Can: Those who have cleared the area individually or in small teams have registered with me. So far, only 40% of the area has been cleared. The places they went to are too remote, so the progress is slow.

Zhang Daonan: There is not much talisman paper left in stock, and we are rushing to make more.

Everyone reported their progress. Little Fubao made an estimate and after confirming that the progress was normal, he asked about other things.

Group leader Xiao Fubao: Have you encountered any unusual situations during the past two days of clearing? Or have you encountered any strange weather conditions while traveling?

This question was asked a little suddenly. Everyone in the group paused for a moment before starting to respond.

Zhang Haike: Is it a different situation? Does my accidental mudslide count? It rained quite heavily here, and there was a mudslide when we passed a mountain. Luckily, no one lives here, so we were fine.

Zhang Jinshan: As for my side, it feels okay. We are walking in the desert, and apart from the hot spots, there is no other change.

Zhang Daojun: We are still in the cemetery and don’t know what’s going on outside. However, the blood corpses in this cemetery are a bit agitated. We don’t know why exactly. Does this count as a situation?

Zhang Zhenxian: On my side, the new bronze that we moved in a year ago has already started to crack. Is this a problem?

When everyone was talking about the situation at the beginning, Xiao Fubao was relatively calm. But when Zhang Zhenxian spoke later, the smooth fur on his body suddenly stood up, and the other people in the group also quieted down in an instant.

Cracked bronze?

Are you saying that bronze, forged by the heavens, resistant to pollution, and designed to last for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, is cracking?!

It would be normal for bronze from thousands of years old to have cracks, damage, or defects, but this one is only a year old, and it’s brand new, pulled out of the Tiandao inventory by Xiao Fubao!!

They would rather hear him say that new and unprecedented rice dumplings appeared in the cemetery than hear such horrific news!

Group leader Xiao Fubao: Which region are you in? Besides the bronze cracking, are there any other problems?

Zhang Zhenxian: I am at the No. 76 garrison here in Shaanxi. Apart from the bronze being cracked, there is no other problem. Wait a moment, I'll take a closer look.

As soon as this message came out, before others could react, Xiao Fubao popped up messages frantically in the group.

Group leader Xiao Fubao: No, no, no, no! Don't come near me! Get out of here, right now! Don't go in again! Don't get close to Bronze!!

Group leader Xiao Fubao: Zhang Zhenxian, did you hear me? Don’t go in, don’t get close, just leave the garrison, immediately!

These two messages from Xiao Fubao popped up almost instantly. Everyone in the group tensed up, and Zhang Zhenxian, who had already raised his leg and was about to step towards the broken bronze, suddenly froze for a moment, then his face changed slightly, and without even replying to the message, he immediately turned around and quickly used his lightness skills to run out.

They are all smart people who have lived for thousands of years. Even if Xiao Fubao didn't say anything, just based on the extremely aggressive tone of his voice, he knew that there was definitely a big problem here. Although death now may only mean returning to the state of a ghost, in order to protect this body resurrected by his lover, he will still protect himself as much as possible.

Zhang Zhenxian: He’s still running, he’s still running. I’m not getting close. There’s no movement coming out of inside for the time being. I’ll tell you if there’s any situation.

Zhang Zhenxian: So what's going on? Did the corpse inside mutate or something? From what I can see, nothing's happened. Only the bronze is cracked. The other zongzi and other things are still normal, no major reaction.

After running quickly for a distance, Zhang Zhenxian climbed the rock wall while asking questions in the group. The little Fubao who was being asked never calmed down from beginning to end. He and Zhang Qiling both had suddenly changed expressions.

On Xiao Fubao's light screen, a huge scarlet exclamation mark occupied most of the screen, and the bright blood-colored font below completely blocked the rest of the screen.

[Attention! Attention! The enemy has awakened! World pollution levels are rising! The exact situation is unknown, but the concentration has increased by 4% and is continuing to rise. The contaminated territory is also expanding, having increased by 1%].

?!

Little Fubao felt as if someone had hit his head hard, making his brain buzz and he almost died.

Su, Su woke up? ! !

But Tiandao hasn't awakened yet, and my sister is still like a child! !

It’s going to be a rat!!!

Because Xiao Fubao was busy looking at the scarlet pop-up reminder in front of him, he failed to respond in the group in time. Zhang Zhenxian couldn't help but ask again. The other people in the group also frowned slightly. Just when they wanted to ask together, Xiao Fubao's message full of collapse tone popped up frantically.

Group leader Xiao Fubao: Because that guy has woken up ahh ...

Group leader Xiao Fubao: Pollution levels are rising around the world, and the areas polluted by it are beginning to expand again! !

Group leader Xiao Fubao: The bronze is broken because the garrison you're in is too close to that guy's territory. The bronze can't hold on any longer!

Group leader Xiao Fubao: Did you hear that? That guy! He’s awakened! ! ! !

boom!

Almost as soon as Xiao Fubao finished speaking, everyone felt as if they were struck by lightning, and their heads started buzzing.

That guy, woke up?!

At this moment, Zhang Zhenxian, who had slowed down his pace a little, took a breath and quickened his pace again, almost running out.

Damn it! Even though Xiao Fubao said this place was only affected, that doesn't mean there aren't other problems here. What if that thing suddenly wants to come over and take a look?!

Group leader Xiao Fubao: Now, everyone, come back! Don't worry about the remaining pollution, everyone, go back!

Group leader Xiao Fubao: You are now in a physical state, which makes you more susceptible to pollution than when you were souls, so come back first. Enough pollution has been cleared, and the remaining ones are relatively far away, so there won’t be any big problems, so don’t worry about them for now!

Xiao Fubao said this in the group, and at the same time quickly sent everyone the fastest return route map. Now most of the areas that Zhang Haiqing and his team had passed through had been cleared of pollution, and its detection function had also been greatly improved. There would no longer be a discontinuous situation where it would be unable to detect a place when encountering a polluted area. The detected map was also becoming more complete, and the number of times it could provide help was increasing.

Everyone in the group already knew the urgency of the situation. They didn't ask any more questions. They just responded with an "OK" in the group and quickly turned around and left.

At this point, it has been confirmed that it has awakened, so there is no need to ask useless information such as how and when it woke up. The most important thing now is to think carefully about how to face the horror that is about to come.

After seeing a series of good things in the group, Xiao Fubao turned to look at Zhang Qiling with a serious expression, and squeaked.

"My sister is still in her childish state, and I don't know when she'll return to normal. You all should stay as you are and stay with her for now. I'll discuss this with them once the others return."

Zhang Qiling frowned, but still nodded and responded in a low voice.

"Brother! It's time to eat!!"

Just as Zhang Qiling finished responding, the little girl's voice came from the house, accompanied by the sound of her clattering feet on the ground. Xiao Fubao retracted the screen in an instant and turned back into an ordinary hamster, while Zhang Qiling restrained the emotions on his face, turned around and strode towards the door. When he met the little girl face to face, he bent down and picked her up with one hand, then continued to walk into the house.

"Have a meal."

Zhang Qiling only said one sentence, and the little girl nodded and followed suit: "Yes! Let's eat!"

Because Zhang Qiling rarely showed emotions on his face, when he came back with the little girl in his arms, Hei Xia Zi and his group didn't see anything on his face, so they were just a little confused and had no idea that something terrible had happened.

Zhang Qiling still fed the little girl this meal. When she was almost done eating, he took her to brush her teeth and wash her face, and then sent her to the living room to sit and watch cartoons.

Everything was no different from usual, but Hei Xia Zi and his companions still discovered some differences.

When feeding the little girl, Zhang Qiling deliberately put Xiao Fubao on the side of the table. After feeding the little girl, he took her to brush her teeth and watch cartoons. He did not come over to say that he would take Xiao Fubao back to the little girl. Even when the little girl said she wanted to watch cartoons with the little hamster, Zhang Qiling used the little hamster to eat as an excuse to discourage the little girl from holding Xiao Fubao and did not bring Xiao Fubao to her.

Something happened!

You know, in the previous three months, Zhang Qiling had always given the little girl whatever she wanted, almost obeying her every request. Unless something like what happened in the afternoon happened, which might make the little girl's hair dirty, he would make some suggestions to let the little girl change her mind. But now he directly rejected the little girl's idea with a lie and did not return Xiao Fubao to her. This was the first time in three months!
