Space-time SWAT

These two years have been catastrophic years.

In the beginning, there was a six-month drought, and almost no grass remained in the north. Hunger led to riots, and many nomads further north took the opportunity to invade south.They burned, killed, looted, committed all kinds of crimes, and massacred villages and cities at every turn, leaving thousands of miles of the Central Plains deserted and empty of bones.In less than a year, [-]% of the people in the entire Central Plains were killed, and no one buried and collected the corpses, so they slowly turned into bones, buried among the weeds and broken walls.

The village where Wugu lives is on the border. Most of the villagers are of mixed blood, and they all have the blood of the northern nomads. Therefore, they are not recognized by both sides, and life is very difficult.When the war broke out, their village was the first to be slaughtered.Wu Gu escaped with his daughter by chance, and his wife, children and other relatives were all killed by the butcher's knife of unknown robbers.

In such a horrible era, those who died in the war had no choice but to accept their fate, while those who survived did not dare to have the idea of ​​revenge. Their only wish was to struggle and continue to live.

Wu Gu wandered around with his daughter, but couldn't find a safe place. He only vaguely heard that Xianbei Murong established the Yan Kingdom in the north.They are cruel and ruthless to the Han people, but they are very tolerant to the Xianbei people. Even mixed-race children with Xianbei blood can live there.

Wugu is a mixed race of Han and Xianbei, and his name has an obvious Xianbei style, so he decided to take his daughter to the north to find the place where the Yan Kingdom is located.

It is about one or two hundred miles away from Suicheng, the legendary border town of Yan State. Wu Gu felt full of hope, and his pace became stronger.

After walking for a long time in the wilderness, he finally saw a small stream gurgling by, with sparse green grass and small trees growing on the bank.He was overjoyed, and quickly walked over, filled the leaves with water, and fed it to his daughter bit by bit, then held the stream water in his hands, and drank happily.

Then, he let his daughter sit on the relatively soft green grass.Then he broke a branch, went to the stream, saw the small fish swimming in it, and inserted the tip of the branch into the fish accurately, and got a dozen small fish in this way.He pulled a large pile of dry grass together, picked two flint-like stones, and hit each other dozens of times to get sparks, and finally ignited the pile of dry grass.He sticks small fish with branches, roasts them over the fire, and feeds them to his daughter first.

Wu Yun was so hungry that he gobbled one after another, chewing and swallowing even the fishbone.When she was full, she blushed a little and said happily, "Father, this fish is really delicious."

"Yeah, I'll make it for you next time." Wu Gu smiled and ate all the remaining fish.

He had no utensils, could neither hold water nor keep the fire, so he could only extinguish the fire completely, then picked up his daughter and walked upstream along the stream.

It was dusk, the setting sun was like blood, and the sky was cloudy.The autumn wind blew across the wilderness, and the dead grass fell down, revealing a lot of bones.

Wu Gu's intuition was a bit wrong, could something terrible happen at night?He stopped, turned around, and looked far away, trying to determine if there was any hiding place nearby.

Then he saw a row of huge stones in the northeast, tall stones standing in the wilderness, a bit like Stonehenge that has not been built or has collapsed and weathered after thousands of years of construction.As soon as his eyes lit up, he immediately walked quickly with his daughter in his arms.

As the sky became darker and darker, the sense of urgency in his heart became stronger and stronger, so regardless of his physical strength, he walked faster and faster, and then couldn't help running.Finally, when there was still some bluish-white light left in the sky, he rushed to the front of Stonehenge.

He settled down and ran around Stonehenge. After roughly understanding the formation, he put down his daughter and quickly ran around to move stones of different sizes, and arranged them around the three adjacent stone formations. into a defensive formation.

He walked into the formation with his daughter in his arms, and put the last flint in his hand into the formation's eye.An invisible force rose up, keeping the howling wind out of the circle, making the space of about fifty square meters warm and stable.

Wu Gu sat under one of the stone pillars, and let her daughter lie down on the smooth stone floor, with her head resting on her lap.He patted her lightly, and said softly, "Yun'er, go to sleep, dad is here with you."

Wu Yun stretched out her little hand obediently, held one of his fingers, closed her eyes, and replied in a childish voice, "Okay, Dad wants to sleep too, Yun'er will stay with Dad."

"Okay." Wu Gu smiled, seeing that she fell asleep soon, so he leaned against the stone pillar, closed his eyes and meditated.

The last ray of sky light disappeared on the horizon, and darkness enveloped it completely.There is no star or moon in the sky, the ground is pitch black, the wind is howling, flying sand and rocks.The sound of the wind and sand and stones beating the ground was also mixed with some weird slight noises, most people would definitely not be able to hear them, but he could hear them very clearly.

At this time, he suddenly remembered that this era of frequent natural disasters is no longer a normal world.Every night, an army of undead, the so-called "scourge army", appears.They will kill all humans they see, lay siege to any colony of humans, devour their flesh, pollute their souls, and make them one of their own.

They are very difficult to destroy, unless one can break through their defenses and destroy the soul fire within them.However, they also have a weakness, that is, they are afraid of the light of the sun and the moon, so they will never come out during the day, and they will only come out at night when there are no stars and moons.The scale of the Scourge is getting bigger and bigger, and the darkness and fierceness they bring can already change the weather at night, making every night covered with dark clouds and covering the sky.Therefore, every night, when they come out to wreak havoc, human beings must hide in cities with strong walls to survive.

The nearest Suicheng is the first line of defense to prevent the Scourge from invading the country of Yan. It is built on the mountainside, and the road leading to it is only on the ridge. There are cliffs on both sides. If you are not careful, you will stumble Fall down the valley.The city wall is very high and thick, and those skeletons who are lucky enough to get under the city wall are also difficult to break through.The general who guarded the city was Murong Ke, a fierce Xianbei general who became famous at the age of 14, and guarded the entire city as if it were solid.

The terrain of Suicheng facing the south is extremely dangerous, but facing the north is a flat hillside, where you can grow crops and raise livestock. Although life is difficult, you will not die of starvation.Living in this city is much safer than anywhere else.This is also the reason why Suicheng's reputation quickly spread throughout the Central Plains.

However, even in such a dangerous situation, the difference between Han and Yi is still obvious.The Han people in the south refused to accept the barbarians in the north, and the various nomadic peoples in the north also rejected the Han people and hostile tribes very much.The army of undead has divided this world into fragments, human beings can only fight on their own, huddled in a tiny place, lingering on their last breath.If things go on like this, the human race will surely perish, and this world will become a land of the undead, completely plunged into darkness.

Wu Gu thought calmly.How can it be?The human world cannot be surrendered to the undead in the dark.The demons must be repelled so that the race can continue to survive.

These ideas arise naturally, without a messianic hero complex, without ambition to dominate.He felt that he should do it, and believed that he could do it.

Hearing all kinds of scary voices from outside, he was very calm, without any fear or flinch.

Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps sounded near the formation, heavy, vain, and irregular, as if two humans were running away.

He carefully removed his daughter from his lap, slowly lowered her to the ground, then stood up, looking into the darkness outside the formation.

Soon, three vague figures rushed over, but were blocked from the formation.The three of them fell on the invisible protective cover, their faces full of fear, and they shouted loudly, "Help! Help!"

Afraid of alarming the evil forces in the darkness, Wu Gu moved the stone with his toes, put the three people into the formation, and then moved the stone back to the original place to restart the formation.

At this moment, the three young and middle-aged men fell in and groped to get up, sitting where they were, not daring to move.Wu Gu also sat back beside her daughter, looked at them indifferently, and didn't say a word.

After a while, a man dared to ask, "Excuse me, is there anyone here?"

Wu Gu could feel their deep fear, so he replied calmly: "Well, you just stay there and don't move, you can sleep. It's safe here."

"Yes." The man seemed to be pardoned, and his voice changed with excitement, "Thank you, thank you, thank you benefactor."

"Go to sleep, we have to hurry tomorrow." Wu Gu said gently, and then stopped making a sound.

The three of them were so exhausted that they also lay down on the ground together.They soon perceive that there is no wind and it is very warm.The chaotic movement outside also seemed to be separated by a layer, far away from him.This made them very relieved, they simply thought of nothing, and soon fell asleep.

Wu Gu leaned on the stone pillar, closed his eyes and feigned sleep, relaxed and rested while still maintaining vigilance.

The violent noise outside lasted all night.The undead are killing each other, trying every means to devour the soul fire of their companions in order to achieve the goal of promotion.Even the undead after death want to become stronger, which makes their killing and devouring instinct infinitely magnified and difficult to control.

It was already late autumn, and the night was longer than the day, so the night of such a dangerous chaos was longer.It wasn't until the darkest hour before dawn that the wind outside gradually weakened, and those strange movements quickly disappeared.

Wu Gu opened his eyes, seeing a ray of dawn flashing in the sky, he couldn't help but let out a long breath.

He looked around with the help of the rapidly extending skylight.Many big rocks turned into gravel, and small stones turned into gravel, which shows the fierce fighting all night.There are more bones scattered among the withered grass, most of them are in the shape of animals, and a small part are in the shape of humans.All the bones were pale and brittle, apparently completely lifeless, to the point where they were about to turn into fossils.

He withdrew his gaze, looked at his daughter who was still sleeping beside him, and then at the three sleeping men lying side by side not far away.
