"Strange things, what strange things?"

Zhuge Tian asked.

"This!" Liao Hua took out a translucent object. "It looks like what you took out, Han Xing, but the people below said they have never seen it before."

"This is..." Zhuge Tian was stunned.

What Liao Hua handed him was actually a plastic product.

And this thing...is not his.

He only vaguely remembered that this thing seemed to be called... a book cover.

It was used by students in the past to wrap around books to protect them.

But he was born in the end of the world and had never been there. It seemed that he had only encountered this thing when he went to school to look for resources.

But... this is the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, why would there be such a thing?

Could it be that there is another time traveler?

Or are there some other items that traveled through time with me?

Like this book cover!

Zhuge Tian was a little confused for a moment.

"Is this the only thing you found?"

There was only half a plastic book cover. Zhuge Tian carefully put it away and then asked Liao Hua.

"Yes, I've only found this so far. What is this?"

Liao Hua asked curiously.

"Book covers are used to wrap books." Zhuge Tian gave a brief demonstration and then said, "But this thing is not mine."

"It's not yours?" Liao Hua glared, "Could there be another immortal disciple?"

"I don't know!" Zhuge Tian shook his head.

"But the disappearance of Kong Ming and Zi Long this time is likely related to this."

Zhuge Tian stood up: "Let's go and take a look over there!"

The place where I found the book cover was under a big tree.

The ground became muddy because of the rain.

There are no signs of human activity.

And such a book cover is, or can be said to be, of no use at all.

But why is it here?

Is someone trying to convey some message to you?

Zhuge Tian was confused. This discovery was second only to the fact that his master was truly a god.

"Who found this book cover?" Zhuge Tian asked Liao Hua.

Then Liao Hua quickly called a young man over.

"His name is Tie Niu, and he discovered it."

Tie Niu smiled at Zhuge Tian in a simple and honest manner.

"Was it found here?"

"That's right." Tie Niu nodded and gestured with his hands: "It's right here. There's probably a rock about this big pressing on it."

"But the rain washed away some of the mud, and it had a bit of a sheen, so I was able to see it."

"Hey!" Liao Hua came over, turned over the grass nearby and said, "There should be a path leading here."

"But because it rained again in the spring, new grass grew, and we were walking around on it, so it was covered up."

He just saw the place where Tie Niu pointed out and found that the grass roots there were slightly different, so he figured it out.

After careful inspection, I found that there was indeed a line of green grass under the mud and water, which was thinner and shorter than the ones next to it.

Liao Hua asked the others to move aside, and he walked ahead alone along the green grass to clear a path.

If there are too many people, it will be easier for these things to be trampled into the mud.

The main force followed behind.

After walking around for a long time, we were already deep in the forest.

The trees here are much denser, and even at noon, there is still insufficient light.

"Everyone, stop and rest for a while." Liao Hua said to Zhuge Tian, ​​"Although we found a hidden path, we can't guarantee that Kong Ming and the others are in this direction."

"There's nothing we can do!" Zhuge Tian sighed. "We arrived too late. All the traces and clues are gone. Now we can only try our luck."

The forest here is too dense. Liao Hua once tried to climb a tall tree and observe with a telescope, but he didn't find anything.

After finishing the meal, we continued on our way.

"Brother, here!" Tie Niu suddenly shouted.

"What's wrong?" Liao Hua turned around.

"We've discovered a new road here." Tie Niu pointed at the ground and said, "This also seems to be a road."

Liao Hua went over to take a look, and indeed saw a more obvious road.

"You are truly a lucky general!" Liao Hua patted Tie Niu's shoulder, then asked Zhuge Tian: "Hanxing, which way should we go?"

"What do you think?" Zhuge Tian looked at the two hidden roads.

"We have more people, so let's split it in half!" Liao Hua said, "How about we take a thousand people this way, and Xingba takes another thousand to the other side?"

Zhuge Tian thought about it and felt that even if there were only a thousand soldiers from Wolong Village, their fighting power would be sufficient in this forest.

"Xingba, be careful! If anything happens, fire flares into the sky!"

Zhuge Liang gave Gan Ning three signal guns.

Gan Ning nodded, took it, and led a thousand people to the other side.

"Let's go, let's continue searching along this road."

Zhuge Tian and his companions walked forward and unexpectedly came to a mountain stream.

"Hanxing, we have a discovery." Liao Hua used the spear in his hand to pick up a stone, which flew away, revealing half of a pair of tactical boots underneath.

"It seems to be here, that's right!" Zhuge Tian looked at the half pair of tactical military boots and was sure that this was the one he bought from the system.

"Wait!" Liao Hua stopped Zhuge Tian who was about to go inside.

"The situation in this mountain stream is unclear, so caution is the best approach."

Zhuge Tian also knew that he was a little anxious, nodded and said, "Leave two hundred people behind to guard this exit in a defensive formation. If anything happens inside, we can retreat."

The mountain stream becomes narrower and narrower, and water drops from it from time to time.

When I walked inside, I found it was the entrance to a cave.

"Everyone, be careful!"

After Zhuge Tian finished speaking, he took out a high-intensity flashlight and a P28C from his bag and walked in front.

Liao Hua and Xu Chu each held a large explosion-proof shield and stood on Zhuge Tian's left and right.

The others also took out their weapons and lighting devices and slowly followed.

"Crash..."

As soon as he entered, a few bats flew over his head, scaring little Lu Meng.

Lu Meng touched his forehead and said, "It seems... very hot here."

Zhuge Tian and the others also felt it. After entering the cave, they felt the temperature had risen a lot after walking a few steps. It was at least a few degrees higher than the temperature outside.

“Someone must have been here before.”

Liao Hua observed and found some traces of human activities.

I just don't know how big this cave is.

Fortunately, there are no forks in the road, only one road going in.

After walking for about half an hour, Zhuge Tian finally saw the exit in front.

Taking a deep breath, Zhuge Tian, ​​Liao Hua and Xu Zhu walked out first.

After exiting the cave on this side, the terrain becomes much wider.

It looks like it's in a valley.

There is also a clear path on the ground.

"Let me go ahead!" Liao Hua said as he swung the sword in his hand.

"No, I'll do it!" Zhuge Tian blocked Liao Hua behind him and said, "You and Zhongkang just need to protect me on both sides."

From here you can see high mountain walls on both sides. If someone is ambushing, this would be an excellent ambush location.

But having come this far, Zhuge Tian had no intention of retreating.

He brought a lot of his own family assets with him.

Even if something really happens, we can still break out.

Sometimes, good things in this world don't work and bad things do.

After the 800 people led by Zhuge Tian had basically all entered the valley through the cave entrance, many archers holding longbows suddenly appeared on both sides.

In front of Zhuge Tian, ​​a burly man wearing a ghost mask appeared, holding a mace and rushing towards Zhuge Tian and the other two.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Zhuge Tian pulled the trigger decisively, shooting two shots at the body and one at the head. Even gods would shake their heads.

When those archers and the ghost mask first appeared, they were making strange "ooh-oh-oh" sounds.

After three gunshots, everyone saw the burly man at least 20 meters away from Zhuge Tian, ​​with three lines of blood spurting out of his body, and then he fell backwards.

The originally noisy scene suddenly became silent.

The archers stared blankly at the dead man in the ghost mask. This was different from the original arrangement.

What to do now?

At this time, the soldiers of Wolong Village had formed a defensive formation.

Not everyone of them had a shield, but they had practiced this situation during normal drills.

After forming a defensive formation, you can effectively reduce the damage from bows and arrows.

Zhuge Tian, ​​Xu Chu, Liao Hua and more than ten people with explosion-proof shields formed a shield wall and began to advance.

When these archers first appeared, they did not attack immediately, actually to intimidate Zhuge Tian and the others.

I didn't expect Zhuge Tian to be so unsportsmanlike. He took out his pistol and shot the leader with three shots.

When they realized that their leader was missing, some wanted to run, some wanted to fight, and some started shooting arrows.

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

Zhuge Tian followed Xu Chu and the others' shield wall to the bottom of the mountain wall, took out a grenade, pulled the ring and threw it up.

The archers above thought it was a stone thrown from below and didn't pay any attention.

Three seconds later, there was a loud bang, and several people who were close to it were blown to pieces.

Those who were farther away were also dizzy from the shock.

Although Zhuge Tian can buy things in the system, good things like thermal weapons and grenades are all sky-high prices.

It may not be very useful for fighting large-scale wars, but such small-scale battles are definitely very deterrent.

The archers just started shouting and screaming, but when the grenade exploded, they were like chickens with their necks strangled, and they fell silent.

Just when Zhuge Tian was about to rush forward with his men, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Master Hanxing, for the safety of Master Kongming, please stop."

Zhuge Tian was stunned and looked back, it was Tie Niu.

At this time, the young man named Tie Niu no longer looked as honest as he did at the beginning.

He seemed like a different person, with a confident smile on his face.

"boom!"

There was a gunshot.

Tie Niu's face froze, and then he looked at a bloody hole appearing on his thigh.

"what!"

Covering his legs with his hands, his face suddenly turned pale and he fell to the ground.

"You...hiss...ah! Are you crazy? Do you want to kill Kong Ming?"

Tie Niu looked at Zhuge Tian in disbelief. He never thought Zhuge Tian was a madman.

"Haha, the rule of survival in the apocalypse is to never accept threats." Zhuge Tian narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "Since you can say that, it means you have some status. If you can't exchange Kong Ming and the others, then I will kill you and then avenge them."

"Let the captives be forced to lay down their weapons under threat. The final result may be that both Kong Ming and the others will die here."

After Zhuge Tian finished speaking, he asked Xu Chu to capture "Iron Ox" and then asked Liao Hua to send a signal flare to notify Gan Ning and others.

"you……"

After hearing what Zhuge Liang said, "Tie Niu" didn't know what to say for a moment.

"You're unlucky!" Zhuge Tian looked at the wound on "Iron Ox": "The bullet just grazed the artery."

"If the bleeding isn't stopped effectively, you should know you won't live long."

On the way here, Liao Hua said that Tie Niu had been in their village for some time.

I didn't expect that he was also someone's undercover agent.

Moreover, he has been behaving himself well since he came here and has not revealed any flaws.

"So, who are you?" Zhuge Tian asked, "You deliberately led us here, didn't you?"

"I am... Liu Bian!"

"Liu Bian?" Now it was Zhuge Tian's turn to be stunned. He had thought about the other party's identity, but he didn't expect the other party to say that he was Liu Bian.

The Han Emperor Shao, who should have been poisoned by Dong Zhuo a few years ago.

He looked at the archers on the cliff wall and found that they had stopped moving. It seemed that they had recognized him.

These people should be his subordinates.

"Interesting!" Zhuge Tian bent down and pulled out a butterfly knife from his boots, walked in front of Liu Bian, and attacked with lightning speed.

"Puff!" There was a muffled sound.

The butterfly knife was inserted into Liu Bian's thigh, and then it was twisted to take out the bullet inside.

"Ah..." Liu Bian couldn't help but cry out in pain, and then immediately suppressed the cry.

"Squeak..." Zhuge Tian sprayed the external injury spray on him again, which made Liu Bian grimace in pain. However, this time he was mentally prepared and was tough enough not to cry out in pain.

After knowing that the other party might be Liu Bian, Zhuge Tian really couldn't let the other party die like this.

He had too many questions, so we stopped his bleeding first.

"Kong Ming and the others were captured by you? Are they safe now?"

Liu Bian originally wanted to say a few words, but when he saw the butterfly knife flying in Zhuge Tian's hand and his dangerous eyes, he was really a little scared.

Zhuge Tian, ​​whom he usually met in the village, was always lazy. He always felt that the village had Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu for literature, and Zhao Yun, Xu Chu and Liao Hua for martial arts, but he really couldn't see what special abilities Zhuge Tian had.

I didn't expect that after I really became his enemy, I found out that he was actually a lunatic.

He suspected that if he said anything more, Zhuge Tian would stab him twice more.

"We caught them. They should be safe now."

After hearing what Liu Bian said, Zhuge Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he stared at Liu Bian intently and suddenly spoke:

"Red light OK, how about green light?"
