It was all empty rafts that came back to the west bank, and no one but the boatman would risk his death.

The four of Chen Chrome and his party boarded a small boat, perhaps because it was particularly conspicuous among the sheepskin rafts full of rivers.The old boatman was able to persevere in ferrying when the danger was approaching. He was one in a million calm, but he was still confused by these four weird-looking people. Crossing the river westward against the crowd was a completely desperate approach.

Chen Chrome explained, but the old boatman was confused and couldn't understand anyway.Of course, Chen Chrome didn't understand why he still stayed on the Yellow River to punting in such a dangerous situation.

The old boatman just smiled and said: "Ferry from generation to generation, and finish this last pole."

After finishing speaking, he yelled and sang a bold and unrestrained folk song that has echoed on both sides of the Yellow River for thousands of years.

Responses came one after another from the surroundings, and the singing came and went, and it was actually a little fierce, with a resolute optimism.

The old boatman looked back and laughed loudly: "My son is thirteen, and he can also go boating."

Chen Ru followed his gaze, and there was a small boat in the capsized waves. The man driving the boat was a tall and thin young man with dark skin, like a bean sprout.

The boy's eyes were as cool as water, without any emotion.

With a "bang", the bow of the boat hit the rock, and the penny was slowly pulled out of the water by the old boatman and landed on the shore.

The refugees rushed over, unkempt, pushing and shoving.

The old boatman said with a smile that there is no rush, and he will definitely deliver the last person.

The refugees scrambled to dig out their pockets, taking out dried meat, knives, jewelry, and even a large amount of gold and silver, which instantly stuffed the old boatman's pockets to the full.The old boatman's hands were rough and cracked, he weighed a knife and coin in his hand, and shook his hand at Chen Chrome.

Seeing this, Chen Ru thought that the other party was saying goodbye to him, so he followed the example of the boatman and waved to him from afar.

Beichen laughed loudly, and cursed: "This idiot who is greedy for money and desperate for life! Just forget about being stupid, and bring your son to work together."

Li Xinglan remained silent, squinting his eyes to look around.

Chen Chrome hadn't turned his head around yet. Wasn't the old boatman just trying to save people?Of course, I admired him very much and was willing to give money, so I immediately stuffed a lot of coins for the boatman out of my own pocket.

The sunset glow is gorgeous, orange red and golden white rays are like a tide, spreading from the sky to the east, and the whole sky is glowing with magnificent blue purple, like a dream.

The evening is coming to an end, and the night is coming. The last wave of refugees have crossed the Yellow River one after another, and dots of sheepskin rafts are floating on the shore.The old boatman's son ran to look for him with a bamboo pole in his hand.

The child's voice was hoarse and seemed to be changing, and his tone was very stiff: "Father, if you don't leave the Qin Kingdom, the evil spirits are coming."

The old boatman patted him on the shoulder, and smiled: "Wealth and wealth come from danger, your wimpy temper is [-]% like your old lady who wants to die."

The child seemed to be angry, but he didn't dare to say: "Father, we have to go! When will the money not be earned?"

Chen Chrome was about to leave when he heard a loud slap in the face. Turning around, the old boatman's son was beaten to the ground, covering his face.Black and thin, he looked very much like a starving people in the embers of the war in Burundi.

The old boatman spat on his hand, slapped him again, and cursed: "You lose money, learn from your old man, get up!"

The sky was gloomy, like the haze under the wings of a huge vulture, and the child lay motionless on the ground, as if he had become a vulture's meal.

The old boatman kicked him hard, but he still didn't move.

Li Xinglan shook his head: "Chen Ge, let's go, the poison of a tiger doesn't eat its eggs, it's good to be alive."

Chen chrome turned his head three times and bumped into Beichen's back. He felt sticky on his forehead and heart, and he stretched out his hand to touch it, only to find it was a ball of dirty blood.Looking forward, Beichen's clothes were wet, but it was dark red, so he never noticed it.

Beichen's injury hasn't healed yet, who is to blame?I can only blame myself.

The ground trembled, like an alarm before an earthquake, the sky was dark, and the storm was waiting for people to strike at the most difficult moment.

On the bank of the river, the old boatman was still picking and choosing. His son was sitting on the ground, covering his face and staring at him bitterly, motionless.

Li Xinglan patted Chen Chrome to bring him back to life: "There are too many zombies, let's avoid them in the trees."

More than 2000 years ago, the Yellow River was extremely clear and the trees on both sides were lush.

There is a sandalwood forest by the river here, and sandalwood trees nearly 20 meters high abound.Everyone chose two denser ones, and climbed to the top in twos and threes.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--!"

There were screams one after another, passing through the forest, straight into the sky, and the black crows seemed to be shaken ink dots.

The army of zombies lined up neatly, advancing at a high speed, like a tank phalanx, crushing the fleeing civilians, leaving behind broken limbs and broken bones.

The dirty blood in their throats coagulated, their muscles trembled mechanically, and their vocal cords rubbed against each other, making a very strange and terrifying "clucking" sound.The voices gathered together, although they were chaotic, but due to their large scale, they almost shook the ground, and the trees swayed like flowers and plants.

The leaves rustled down like a rainstorm, and there was a loud crackling sound.

However, as winter was approaching, the leaves had all lost their moisture and became extremely shriveled. Tens of thousands of dead leaves fell off one after another, as if a very thin blade had been scraped by, even drawing a line of blood on Chen Chrome's pale cheeks.

There are a few sudden purple spots in the zombie army. They are not tall, with thin waists. The purple robes fit the body shape. There are delicate silver armors around the chest, waist, neck, and wrists. They all wear bamboo with white gauze. hat.

The silver armor is white and translucent, with little rays of light like sparkling waves, and the white gauze is spotless, exuding a strange holiness.Through the white gauze, Chen Chrome could see that they were wearing golden brass masks on their faces, with protruding eyes, eerie and frightening.

They held the back of their left hands with their right hands, stretched the fingers of their left hands under the mask, and blew a sharp whistle.

That's the call to arms!

Dozens of golden geese shot out from the shadows in an instant, like golden fireworks bursting suddenly, and went straight to the fleeing people.

At the rear of the team, the heavily armed Xuanjia Qin soldiers stood proudly, expressionless.Each of them was pushing a big wooden cart, and the stench in the cart was a corpse with sound limbs.

At the end of the line, there was a man in purple standing.The man was very strange, and he didn't make any movements. He stood crookedly, gently lifted the mask with one hand, and stretched out the skin bag on the side of his waist with the other hand, and stretched it out in front of him for a while.

The zombies stopped in place one after another, letting the golden geese gallop ahead, smelling the bloody smell with ferocious faces, they hugged the corpse in front of them neatly and began to bite, making a loud "cluck" sound from their mouths.

Chen Chrome was filled with grief and indignation, almost wanting to stand up and fight.

Li Xinglan stretched out his hand to hold him down, and said, "I don't have to stop you, but you have to think about it. Not counting those who will be transformed, nearly a thousand zombies, two hundred Qin soldiers, and fifty golden geese, even if we die in battle , can you save someone?"

Chen Chrome endured the desire to cry bitterly, but finally did not rush out, and asked in a nasal voice, "Shoot Jiang Shi to death?"

Li Xinglan thought for a moment, and said, "There are too many zombies. To be honest, with them around, the zombies can still be controlled. What will happen if they are gone?"

Chen Chrome slammed his head against the tree trunk, causing his own head to bleed.

Li Xinglan stretched out his hand to stop him, but when Chen Ke found out, he barely stopped, but the back of his hand was still bloody, and his heart ached even more.But he didn't dare to cry, because he didn't want to be a child anymore.

There was only the last wave of people crossing the river, and they were soon overwhelmed by the golden geese.

The man in purple took the zombies across the river, but knew that they couldn't swim, so he had to divert his way along the river.

The man in purple walking at the end of the line was the slowest, lowered his head to write and draw, whistled when he was done, and tied a small roll of sheepskin to the feet of the golden goose that had returned to normal .

The golden goose hovered in the air, and the man in purple walked away and whistled, and it swirled and spread its wings to the west.

next moment.

With a sound of "咻", Jin Yan was shot through the leg muscles by a small arrow, and instantly lost his balance and fell downwards.However, a very thin wire was tied to the tail of the little arrow, and the golden goose was pulled into the leaves.

Chen Ru pinched the golden goose's wings, carefully lifted it up to his face, and was surprised: "Why is this one so fragile? Does it have thoughts, can it talk?"

Beichen: "They are all golden geese, with different monster powers and different natural status. This one is no different from an animal. The two of them a few days ago are not young, and their blood is pure."

Chen Ge was afraid that the others would be infected, so he didn't let them get close, so he held the small sheepskin roll with one hand and unfolded it.

Chen Chrome: "???"

Li Xinglan: "?"

Beichen let out two "hum hums" from his nasal cavity, triumphantly: "Here, my monster race characters. Heh, human beings."

Beichen unfolded the scroll: "?"

He actually forgot that he had no culture at all.

The fox probed his brain and read out: "One day, one thousand two hundred. Corpse soldiers are heavy, so they can't wade in the water, and change their way. The rest of the characteristics are the same as the previous ones."

Li Xinglan: "Thank you, it's a military newspaper. The writing is very thin, like a pen dipped in water. This is a rare paint, but they are advanced."

Chen chrome pinched the fox's face and asked him to erase the word "no" and "diversion".

However, the fox didn't have a pen, so imitating Chen Chrome's usual expression, he looked at him with a bitter face: "Mi?"

Li Xinglan smiled, took the small sheepskin scroll, rubbed it in his palm, made a fist, and spread it out in front of Chen Chrome, like a handsome and mysterious magician.

Chen Chrome exclaimed: "It's gone! You, you won't..."

Li Xinglan shook his head, tied the small sheepskin roll to Jin Yan's leg, and said, "Throw it all away, maybe I ate too much last time."

Chen Chrome was a little worried: "The power of the soul, when to use and when to withdraw, can you control it? If there is something uncomfortable, why didn't you tell me?"

Li Xinglan's lips moved, and after listening for a while, he said: "Before, I had to separate my soul from my body and turn it into controllable particles under the stimulation of Cangya grass. A switch. But eating too much that day, it seems that the whole soul has completely separated from the body and turned into a torrent. After dragging you out of the darkness, they are called by the nature of heaven and earth, which is very mysterious, as if they want to return to some place.”

Chen Chrome: "There, Lingshan Soulhai, can you see it?"

Li Xinglan raised his head, and following Chen He's pointing, he saw a gorgeous and charming nebula, like a flower blooming in the sky: "A nebula, is it the spirit mountain and sea of ​​souls you often say?"

Chen Chrome nodded: "Yes, Li Hong said that after a person dies, the soul will return to the spirit mountain and the sea of ​​souls, and live forever."

Li Xinglan frowned: "Maybe, no one can prove it. Fortunately, in the dark, I felt a force that condensed my soul particles that had begun to drift away, and it was even more stable than before. Now, I can freely control my soul, and even the free particles in the surrounding air, and let them be used by me. This is a natural existence, and there is no need to worry.”

Chen Chrome was stunned: "It's like using your ears to distinguish whether the current used when listening to music is hydropower or thermal power. Metaphysics, this is too metaphysics, I can't understand it. What kind of power is that?"

Li Xinglan patted his head and smoothed his hair*, and said, "I don't know yet, but it should be friendly."

Chen Ru was so happy that he carried himself away for a moment, and without further questioning, he let Jin Yan out casually.

Everyone fell to the ground, and the muddy ground was full of pits and hollows, which were traces of being crushed by zombies.

All the corpses were picked up by Qin Bing, except for some broken bones with meat hanging on them.

The forest is like a huge corpse furnace, devouring everything, leaving behind indigestible fragments, fragments of human beings.

There was only one broken boat left on the river bank, and all kinds of copper coins and iron coins were sprinkled on the broken boat, shining golden light, which was considered a considerable fortune.

Unfortunately……

Thinking of the boy who fell to the ground after being slapped, Chen Ru became so angry that he kicked the boat to pieces.

The hard wooden planks shattered and splashed, and landed one after another with a "bang bang bang bang", revealing a tall, thin, dark-skinned boy with eyes like cold water.
