Withered vine of the end of the world rebirth

Winter is always a season that comes unexpectedly.

Together with it, there is also the unique snowstorm in winter and the accompanying cold.

Lingzhuang is actually not far from Lingyun, and the straight-line distance between them is only the distance from Lingyun's back door to the front door three times.

But the bad thing is that this is not only the end of the world, but also the winter of blizzard from time to time.

Originally, a lot of roads were blocked after the end of the world, but at this time it was completely impossible to drive forward because of the wind and snow.

As a last resort, a group of five people had to get off the car outside the original expressway and walk on foot.

It was not snowing at this time, but the ground was covered with white snow.

The originally spacious and clean expressway was now jammed with all kinds of vehicles.

Not only cars, but also motorcycles, bicycles, tricycles and so on.

Those things that don't fit the style of painting here naturally only appeared after the end of the world.

In addition to all kinds of vehicles on the road, there are also some bloodstains that have solidified, blackened, and darkened.

——There are no pieces of residual limbs. In today's zombie-infested world, it is impossible for this kind of place to have minced meat left.

Everything seemed very, very peaceful—more eerie tranquility.

But now, in this place where no living people have been seen for a long time, there are finally the sounds of human activities again.

Five figures, a mix of men and women, wearing thick winter coats, are walking on it.

It was snowing all over the sky, and it seemed that it was not easy for them to walk.

"Hey, this road is really slippery." A woman in a bright red coat pulled down the hoodie that was in front of her eyes, and glanced at the front with a gloomy face, "How far is it?"

Yu Yan, who was on the side, heard helplessly and helped her tidy up the hat that she had folded at random, and said: "Hurry up, at our speed, we can walk out of this road in about an hour at most. After leaving the road, Lingzhuang will be on the road." It's not far away—I think it's right at the entrance to the road."

"You're talking nonsense, I clearly remember that it was far away from the entrance!" Zhao Li's expression was a little irritable, "When will this go - I'm so hungry, no one will prepare food for me qaq"

"..." Yu Yan's expression was a little stiff, and he glanced at Mu Hanyuan who was at the side, "...Xiao Li."

Zhao Li froze for a moment, and then realized something.

The woman in the not-so-thick red dress turned her head away, her movements were as stiff as if she was wearing dozens of down jackets.

Sure enough, seeing the front, Mu Hanyuan, who had always had a cold expression, suddenly turned a little pale.

After a while, Mu Hanyuan finally said, "Sister, just keep going—it's almost here."

Now Zhao Li finally stopped being willful and nodded quickly.

On the other side, Miao Xiang and Luo Xiangwen kept silent, but moved forward with difficulty relying on each other.

Although it was very difficult to walk on the icy road after it had just snowed, but they were all supernatural beings after all. They stopped talking and concentrated on their journey, and they arrived at the intersection very quickly.

In fact, Yu Yan didn't lie to Zhao Li - after crossing the intersection and turning a corner, the Lingzhuang they were looking for was finally within sight.

Lingzhuang is a quite ancient manor, with pavilions, towers, pavilions, small rivers and lotus in it.

It looks like an exquisite small courtyard in the south of the Yangtze River.

The owner of Lingzhuang is surnamed "Ling", perhaps because of the surname with a strong meaning of water halo, the successive owners of Lingzhuang like water very much.

——The first owner dug a big deep pool in the backyard, the second owner added an artificial waterfall there, and the third owner built a "protection river" winding the entire manor. The four masters also dug a pond several feet deep in the front yard...

Up to now, the inner and outer surroundings of Lingzhuang have been surrounded by the river Tanchi.

If a fish lives here, it can swim from the vermilion-painted gate of Lingzhuang to the inner courtyard full of exotic flowers and trees.

"Haha, look at this posture, if it weren't for knowing Ling Lao's temperament, I would almost think he raised a mermaid here."

Several people pushed open the vermilion door, and were taken aback when they saw such a scene inside. Zhao Li, who had finally been silent all the way, couldn't help but make a joke.

Yu Yan glanced back at her with a helpless expression.

"Old Ling?" Miao Xiang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly opened her mouth, but for some reason, she became interested in the "Old Ling" that Zhao Li said, "Do you know the owner of Lingzhuang?"

"Yes, yes, I came here to pick plums and eat them when I was a child." Seeing that Miao Xiang was interested, Zhao Li couldn't help talking, "Then there are many fruit trees planted in the backyard, and they are delicious. , let me tell you here..."

Zhao Li and Miao Xiang have the same lively temperament, but Miao Xiang is more innocent and soft, Zhao Li is a little more carefree because she grew up in the military camp, but chatter and chatter - there is always a lot to talk about.

When Chu Mo saw Zhao Li for the first time, he felt that this person and Miao Xiang would definitely get along.

It's just that the two of them didn't have the chance to get in touch before, and this time they finally went on a mission together, and there was a "estrangement" because of Chu Mo's disappearance.

——In fact, Zhao Li felt that because of the relationship between Miao Xiang and Chu Mo, she knew that he was Ling Yun who went out with them at the beginning, but only she and Yu Yan came back. ;

——As for Miao Xiang... Don't be kidding, Zhao Li didn't take the initiative to talk to her before, how dare she approach her? !

So the atmosphere along the way this time was cold, and it was even more embarrassing.

But now that the chatterbox is opened—it is naturally out of control.

The atmosphere along the way was too condensed, so seeing the two chatting like this, neither Luo Xiangwen nor Yu Yan expressed any intention of stopping, and even interjected a few words from time to time.

The scene suddenly heated up.

——Finally, it looked like he was going on a mission.

Mu Hanyuan didn't interrupt, but walked beside them, listening to the four of them chatting sentence by sentence.

This Lingzhuang is not far from Lingyun, according to the original road conditions, it is only half an hour's drive away.

This distance is naturally very short for people before the end of the world.

Although Mu Hanyuan said that he was very busy in the military camp when he grew up, and he no longer went with his sisters, but he went there quite a lot when he was a child.

The scenery in Lingzhuang is excellent, and it is a well-known scenic spot.

Especially in midsummer, when all kinds of lotuses and lotuses are blooming all over the village, it is really beautiful.

However, no matter how many people come here for fame, there are only a few who can enter Lingzhuang.

The current owner of this Lingzhuang, Ling Lao, is already the 500th owner of this Lingzhuang.

The Ling family has a long history, but few people have heard of it, because the Ling family has lived a hermit life for generations.

The same is true for Ling Lao.

Mu Hanyuan was only eight years old when he met Ling Lao for the first time. At that time, Ling Lao was already over fifty years old, but he was still full of energy.

Her half-grey hair was combed meticulously, and she was wearing a half-grey Tang suit. Every time she sat under the biggest tree in the inner courtyard and read a book with a smile on her face.

According to his mother, the Ling family has a long history of education, and Elder Ling is very knowledgeable and talented. When he was young, he was also a professor at the national level. When he was old, many famous universities came to ask him to take the position, but Elder Ling refused. I just insist on staying in this century-old house and being that Tinglan person.

Mr. Ling took the initiative to submit his resignation. When he returned here, he was only in his 40s, but he lived quietly for most of his life.

Mr. Ling had only one son in his life, who was like a dragon and a phoenix among human beings, but he died young, but he passed away at 30, and his childhood sweetheart wife was taken away with him.

She left behind an only daughter who was less than 8 years old, and lived with her old man who had worked hard all her life in this huge Lingzhuang.

Time flies, and now it has been 16 years since Mu Hanyuan came here last time, the water in the pool is faint, but the person who sat under the tree and read has long been buried in the mud.

"I remember that Ling Lao has been gone for almost 10 years?" Yu Yan suddenly said as they walked into Lingzhuang, looking at the clean and clear water in front of him.

"Yeah, I remember that I still came to Ling Lao's Sanqi." Zhao Li replied, looking at Yu Yan with some puzzlement, "What's wrong?"

"Then the water here...how can it be so clean?" Yu Yan pointed to the pool in front of him, and said, "I remember that there should be no one here in the past few years, right?"

Zhao Li was taken aback for a moment, but also looked carefully.

Sure enough, the water in the pool was clear, and the bottom could almost be seen.

Linglao Xijing lived alone with his granddaughter for so many years.

When so many people wanted to visit him at the risk of "visiting the scenery of Lingzhuang", they were all rejected by Ling Lao.

If it weren't for Bailixue's mother and Ling Lao's daughter-in-law being good friends, even they wouldn't be able to get in.

For so many years, the only one who can really live here is his granddaughter Ling Luo besides Ling Lao.

But this Ling Luo had already died 11 years ago.

——It was precisely because the only relative, the granddaughter who had been with her since she was a child, suddenly contracted a serious illness and died of a serious illness, so Ling Lao would not have gone with him in just one year.

Ling Luo was only 18 when she died. She inherited the excellent genes of the Ling family and was as beautiful as a flower, but she passed away because of an infectious disease.

The life like a flower has just bloomed, and it has withered.

Ling Luo went there so quickly, it is said that he died before he even had time to send him to the hospital.

This incident dealt a great blow to Ling Lao.

Perhaps because of this, Old Ling also died a year later, and even left a will before his death saying that Lingzhuang would be permanently closed and no one would be allowed to enter.

Because he made great contributions when he was young, the higher-ups respected him very much, and this Lingzhuang was originally the ancestral house of the Ling family, and the higher-ups didn't stop him, so he was allowed to go.

It should have been 10 years ago since the last time someone came to this Lingzhuang.

——Why is this pool still so clear?

The water in Lingzhuang's village can't be stagnant water, but it can't be regarded as completely running water either.

Although it is also connected to a certain river in the outside world, it is just a "secret connection".

If no one has been taking care of it, it is impossible to maintain the current clear appearance.

But—in the time since 10 years ago, who can take care of this place?

The Ling family has been passed down for more than 500 generations, and it is impossible to have any "distant relatives".

"Be careful, everyone," Mu Hanyuan frowned, his expression becoming more serious, "There must be something mysterious here."

——Things that are visible to people and normal cannot be called "Xin Mi".

"En." Several people nodded, and quickly adjusted their formation, trying to achieve the best position.

It was the first time for them to work together, but each of them was one of the best, or even supreme, existences in Ling Yun, so the arrangement was surprisingly tacit.

"The people in Lingzhuang—"

Zhao Li frowned, and was about to speak, but suddenly heard Luo Xiangwen shouted loudly: "—be careful!"

Several people were taken aback for a moment, but they saw that the originally calm water in front of them suddenly had huge waves!

It seems that this is not a "water pool" for viewing, but a vast ocean that has been silent for a long time!

But now, Wang Yang suddenly woke up!

The power of sea water—to what extent?

In the past, Zhao Li just understood that it was huge; however, "understanding" does not mean "understanding".

It's as if you always know that a dish is delicious, but you have to try it yourself to know how delicious it is.

Otherwise, no matter how many times you listen to other people's descriptions, how many videos and pictures you watch, you will never really know.

——The same is true for the power of the sea water.

It is heard that a wave can plan a shark that will not be able to swim away in the future for a thousand meters;

I heard that the power of a wave can make a building with a copper wall collapse instantly;

It is heard that the energy accumulated in one minute of one side of sea water can supply hundreds of machines to work at full capacity at the same time;

I heard...

No amount of hearing can compare to this moment.

Zhao Li is in the same place now, looking up at the huge waves above her head, she just feels that her mind is blank.

It turns out...the water potential can be so terrifying.

It seems that when we go back this time...it's time to add a water-type superpower to Ling Yun's team...

Zhao Li couldn't move and could only think wildly.

Just now she walked in too fast by herself, and now Mu Hanyuan, who is closest to her, is more than 50 meters away from her at this time.

How long does it take for a person to move a distance of more than 50 meters?

How long does it take for a wave to drop a distance of more than 50 meters?

"Damn it!" Mu Hanyuan quickly used an ice-type supernatural power to seal the huge wave above Zhao Li's head.

The huge wave, nearly 50 meters high, was actually slightly frozen by him.

However, before the few people could breathe a sigh of relief, they saw that the ice-like waves on the surface were still flowing slowly!

Mu Hanyuan actually only froze its form!

However, its downward trend has not diminished at all!

The situation at this time is even more critical than before!

It doesn't feel good to have a chunk of ice thrown at you!

Zhao Li looked at the ice above her head that was even reflecting light, and felt her body was so stiff that she couldn't move at all.

——Even if she looked at the movement, in such a short time, she couldn't run away from the waves!

But now, because of Mu Hanyuan's lack of physical strength, the ice layer on the surface is even slowly melting.

Ice slags kept hitting Zhao Li's head and face!

For a moment, several people only felt extremely hopeless in their hearts.

Even Zhao Li felt that this time she was about to make a date here.

But if she died here, what would Xiao Yan do?

Who will choose the clothes she should wear that day, who will comb her hair, who will make up for her, who will tell her "I am here" when she is afraid, who... who will protect her What about her?

Zhao Li was in a daze.

In the next moment, a vine with a diameter of nearly ten meters appeared suddenly, and it attacked Zhao Li with lightning speed!

Zhao Li's pupils instantly widened!

But its target was not her.

The vine, which could only be hugged by 5 people, was like a huge green steel wire, cut in the middle of the wave!

And the next moment, the vine flipped back violently!

Almost at the same time, Mu Hanyuan's ice ability was completely removed, and the ice layer turned back into a flowing water layer!

However, because the vines turned over before, the already extremely inertial waves also turned over completely!

The huge wave fell backwards, completely falling back into the pool!

The sound of the huge water waves is deafening, making people take a step back!

This almost unsolvable disaster was solved just like this!

A few people were still a little stunned, and they all turned their heads to look at the position of the side door.

——They are all high-level abilities, so they can naturally feel the source of the energy fluctuations when the vines appear.

The sound of the huge waves seemed to be still in my ears, and the countless small water droplets brought up by the waves were still jumping in the air.

The noon sun is just right, and it looks colorful.

Beside the slightly open side door, a blue figure was standing there quietly.

Mu Hanyuan saw that the man raised his head, showed his beautiful eyes, and smiled at him.

He said: "Han Yuan."
