Apocalyptic waste

Chapter 357 The Imperial City Gathers

The leader of the Protestantism is the descendant of one of the five families mentioned by Yu Chifeng a hundred years ago. It is a pity that their lineage is not as good as Wu Zongji's. After several ups and downs in the world, they have lost their former reputation and become No different from ordinary people.But compared to the other three families who didn't know what they were reduced to, he was lucky. At least he still kept the secret key of his family and knew about the secret.

It is precisely because he knows about the secret treasure and has the ability passed down from his ancestors that he will take advantage of the situation after the end of the world and want to restore the family's former glory.

So far, he can be considered to have made a career, and his status in Yunzhou base can be regarded as almost equal to that of the base's high-level executives, but because of the traffic congestion in the last days, his influence is only limited to Yunzhou base.If you want to extend your tentacles to other places, it is really difficult to do it in the short term.

This time he came to the imperial capital with the head of the Yunzhou base, because he knew that it was impossible for him to collect all the secret keys, so he wanted to come and see if he could use the secret key in his hand to exchange for some secret keys. something of value.

However, after witnessing the destruction process of the Ruzhou base with his own eyes, he was no less shocked than Liu Qiye and the others. He locked himself in the room alone and thought for a few days, and finally he decided to take out his secret key for free. There are only two conditions, one is that he wants to see the secret treasure with his own eyes, and the other is that he gets [-]% of the income from the secret treasure, and that [-]% must be used for all survivors, and it cannot be taken as Wu Zong's private treasure.

Wu Zong's people agreed.So far, the five secret keys have been collected, and they can be opened only when the secret is found.

It's just that Wu Zong's people are not sure whether the secret treasure can fight against the owner of that finger.

"Let everyone come, just to say two things." Elder Long Hua, who had a childlike face and hefa hair, received the heads of the various bases in Wu Zong's martial arts lecture hall.

As for this old man, those who knew his status in the first place needless to say, but those who didn't know it now also know it.Such a person, if it wasn't for a special period like now, they might not have the opportunity or qualification to come into contact with them in their entire lives.Therefore, no matter in terms of age or the status of the other party, everyone showed enough respect.

"First, when everyone sees the finger falling from the sky, they feel irresistible, worried, and unspeakably terrified. Have you ever thought about the tsunami, earthquake, and wildfire before the end of the world, and they also overwhelmed the city? Have you ever seen anyone worrying every day? Therefore, I have a sentence for you, which can generate a heart of resistance to heaven and not worry about what will happen to heaven." After all, he is a strong man with knowledge and heart far superior to ordinary people. When others are still in despair and confusion, he has already High morale.

People who can become leaders are not mediocre, and if they heard the words, they realized something, but before they thought about it, Elder Longhua continued to speak.

"Secondly, my Wuzong has found all the secret keys to open the secret treasury. When the secret treasury is opened, the contents will be used in the world. I hope everyone cheer up as soon as possible, and don't miss the people under your command." After finishing speaking, the sleeve robe Swayed, turned around and left without saying a word of nonsense.

The leader of the Protestant religion probably didn't expect that Wu Zong was more powerful than he imagined.

The heads of all the bases, including Song Ting, were stunned by the heavy news revealed in Longhua's words. It took a while to realize that they didn't dare to chase after Longhua, but they grabbed Liu Chenghan and wanted to ask about the secret. According to the situation, what is the specific distribution method.

"I don't know, I haven't seen it either. Whether it is allocated or not, we can discuss this issue after we find the secret treasure. After all, you go back, build your own base first, improve the strength of the base, and let the base members There's nothing wrong with living a good life." Liu Chenghan didn't know if he really didn't know or if he didn't know, in short, he laughed for a while, giving people the feeling that he revealed something and didn't reveal anything at all.

"After the secret storehouse is opened, the summit meeting of the base will be restarted. I hope to see you all again." In the end, without waiting for others to ask, he dropped a sentence and quickly slipped away.

Everyone was a little disappointed, but they didn't dare to ask Wu Zong's people, so they had to leave resentfully.On the contrary, Song Ting, Liu Qiye and others looked thoughtful, whether they were pondering the words of Master Longhua, or the true intention of Wu Zong to become so selfless all of a sudden.But no matter what, although Master Longhua's words were brief, they acted like a shot in the arm, and relieved everyone's depressed mood because of what happened to Ruzhou.As for how many people can really gain from it in the end, it depends on their own fortune.

There was nothing wrong with the imperial capital, and everyone returned home like an arrow, and didn't stay any longer, they all packed up and left.

Liu Qiye and his party traveled along with Zhang Yi Nanshao and the others, because Song Ting had [-] people with him, and the journey went smoothly.In the end, Jiang Hong stayed at the base of the imperial capital, and Lan Lan, who had already woken up, chose very firmly to follow them back to the base of hope.Surprisingly, Zhao Xin also followed them.

"I will learn to fight." I don't know if it was too much stimulation that day, Zhao Xin can finally speak, even if he speaks very little and the sentences are short.If it was a slightly longer sentence, he would choose to give up after thinking about it for a while.It's not that I can't say it, but I don't want to say it.

Zhao Xin is very stubborn, no matter how much Jiang Hong can't keep him, it is inevitable that he will be a little sad.

"I'll be redundant when she gets married." This was Zhang Yi's answer when he asked why after leaving.

This kid can see quite clearly.Zhang Yi couldn't help laughing, this was the first time he laughed since the accident in Ruzhou, Nan Shao noticed that the eyes looking at Zhao Xin were much gentler.

"Aren't you afraid that we think you're redundant?" Zhang Yi teased him.

Zhao Xin didn't speak, but shook his head.This child is young, but he seems to have a good way of seeing people.He doesn't hate Jiang Hong, but he knows very well that when Jiang Hong has another man, it will be difficult to take care of him.As for Zhang Yi and the others, they were different. He could tell from the fact that they taught Lan Lan patiently.

No one knew that he was not indulged in his own world at ordinary times, he was watching everything that happened around him, but he was just too lazy to talk.

Song Ting's team has a large number of people, and their strength is also strong. The mutant beasts who are getting smarter and smarter look far away, but most of the zombies who like to chase people are stuck in the snow and cannot form a corpse wave. The journey from the imperial capital to the Hope Base was smooth.

Invited, Liu Qiye and his party, who already had the intention, went to the Hope Base as guests for a few days, and the two finally discussed and decided to move people from Sanjia Village.I hope the location of the base is good and the place is large. Even after Song Ting's people enter, there will still be enough space to accommodate the entire Sanjia Village.

Of course, Liu Qiye thought more about it. This trip to the imperial capital made him truly feel the powerlessness of Sanjia Village.And the Song Brothers are all good people and strong. If the villagers come here, they will be safer than being isolated and helpless in Sanjia Village.As for being the leader or not, he really didn't care.

Now that it has been decided, it is natural to migrate.I hope that there are many people from the base to escort them, so as to bring everyone here as safely as possible.

This time, Nanshao and Zhang Yi did not go.Li Muran didn't go either.

Li Muran was fine if the sick ghost attacked, but he would not be able to use his supernatural power again for a year or two, which shows how serious the injury was this time.Fortunately, now that we have returned to the Hope Base, everyone's safety is guaranteed, and there are not many opportunities for her to use her abilities, so she is not anxious in a short time.

Zhang Yi didn't go because he had something on his mind.He knew he had to go to the sick ghost.It doesn't matter whether you can't pull your face down, it's just that you feel distressed.

The day he went to see the sick ghost, he happened to see Song Ting there.Song Ting was standing in the yard, and the sick ghost was standing under the eaves. The two seemed to be talking about something.Not wanting to disturb the two of them, he thought about coming back later, and was about to turn around when he heard Song Ting speak.

"I know you are the same person as him. I came here just to ask for an answer, why?"

Why?Zhang Yi paused slightly.Song Ting's words were endless, but he knew what Song Ting was asking, and he just wanted to know why.

If he could say anything, the sick ghost would never be too secretive. After hearing about it, he said coldly, "The weapons you used violated his taboo."

Song Ting was stunned.

The weapons they used, if they were thermal weapons, why were they okay before?If it's not a thermal weapon, then it's the newly developed batch that is being refitted... That batch is a beam energy weapon that uses crystal nuclei as an energy source. It is more lethal than ordinary guns and has great potential for development.He was once proud of it, and planned to use it as Ruzhou's secret weapon against the imperial capital.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be this... At that moment, his face was white as paper, and his heart was filled with remorse like a river tide, but he couldn't save any fresh life.

"Why? I don't understand," he murmured.

"Depending on external things, you lose your foundation." Regarding this matter, the sick ghost seemed to sigh a little, so he explained a few more words: "On this wasteland, if you want to survive and not be obliterated, the only thing you can do What he wants is to grow according to his requirements. This time is just a warning, if someone is obsessed with pursuing the sharpness of weapons, he will lose patience and will give up this land."

Of course Song Ting would not naively think that giving up is simply throwing them away and letting them go free.With trembling lips, he asked with difficulty: "His request..."

"Fight, kill, grow, don't stagnate," replied the sick ghost.

Song Ting didn't know if he listened. He bowed deeply to the sick ghost with a desolate expression, then turned around and left the yard in a trance. When he passed by Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi didn't respond to his greetings.

After listening to the sick ghost's words, Zhang Yi finally understood why the sick ghost was willing to give them any exercises and suggestions to enhance their physique and their own strength, but never said a word about transforming their weapons.

"Sir, I agree to the Yangyang matter." Entering the courtyard of the sick ghost, he bowed to the sick ghost who was still standing under the eaves, he said.In the past, it was the sick ghost who begged him, but now it was him who begged the sick ghost instead, so his posture naturally lowered.

The sick ghost had expected this scene long ago, but his expression was calm, neither complacent nor happy, as usual.

"Wait." He said only these two words.

Zhang Yi looked up at him in astonishment, and at that moment he was a little panicked, afraid that he had taken a fancy to other children.

"Let him come here every day, there are still many things to teach him." Fortunately, the sick ghost didn't worry him for long, so he spoke again.

"Yes, I will let him study hard, sir." Zhang Yi quickly agreed, feeling more grateful than ever before.

In fact, at this time, after seeing the finger that fell from the sky gently wipe away the powerful Ruzhou base like dust, he felt an unprecedented sense of urgency in his heart.I am both reluctant and anxious about sending Yang Yang away. Naturally, I am reluctant because the child will leave his father again at a young age, and live alone in a completely strange place. I don’t know if I can protect myself, but I am anxious. It was because he was anxious to send Zhang Ruiyang out of this prison immediately, in case something like Ruzhou Base would happen again.

However, no matter whether he is reluctant or anxious, he can only wait according to the request of the sick ghost.Apart from waiting, and cherishing the time between father and son as much as possible, and instilling his own survival experience into his son, there is nothing else he can do.

Many times he woke up in the middle of the night, thinking about sending his son away, so he couldn't fall back asleep and could only keep his eyes open until dawn.Seeing people lose weight day by day, Nan Shao felt very distressed, but there was nothing he could do.

Fortunately, this time did not last too long.

-

The five secret keys are merged together, and the lines on the back are connected to form a treasure map.

Wu Zong was really stimulated this time. He even distributed the treasure map to each base, and then received useful information from each base. The two sides worked together to find relevant information after repeated comparisons of old and new maps. In a month's time, the approximate scope of the secret treasure was finally delineated, and it turned out to be in a small city called Qingshui near the imperial capital. More than 100 years ago, there were still high mountains, dense forests, undulating hills and few people.Who knows that with the passage of time, it has been replaced by rows of high-rise buildings and intricate roads.

It is not easy to determine the specific location of the secret in such a city, and there are countless zombies and mutated plants in the city, so it is far less convenient to find it than before the end of the world.But when huge manpower and material resources are invested in one thing, as long as it is not far beyond the scope of human ability, no matter how difficult it is, it can be solved.

After several days of searching and speculation, the exact location of the secret was locked.

Near an unfinished building in the Xishan District of Qingshui City, surrounded by a large swamp of rotten lakes, the stench is suffocating.People in Qingshui said that because the location is not bad, the government tried to fill up the area several times and develop it into a commercial area, but the result was nothing.Later, this land was bought by a real estate developer at a low price, planning to build a high-end residential area, but it only started, and then stopped, so this land has been left unused, and no one will take it over.

There are all kinds of rumors, saying that before the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was invaded by the invading army, many people died, and they were all thrown here, so it was not clean and haunted.If you can't move, something will happen.No one knows exactly what happened, but it's true that this place has been rotten all along.What's more strange is that the road section passing through here is a high-incidence area for car accidents, known as Devil's Horn.

It was also because of the special nature of this place that the people looking for the secret treasure immediately turned their attention and found the target faster than expected.

However, after finding it, they found it. Facing this rotten lake and swamp where even mutated plants don't grow, the leaders and deacons of Wu Zong who came to Qingshui from all bases to watch and open the secret treasure were at a loss.One is because as far as the eye can see, there is nothing related to the secret treasure except for the rotten mud pond and the rotten grass leaves and tree roots.If it weren't for the abnormal performance here, no one would have thought that the secret treasure would be placed here.In addition, the people who were sent in to check the situation walked around in the same place as if they were dazed after entering tens of meters inside. No matter how people yelled, they couldn't hear it, and it was not until the next day that they turned out inexplicably.When asked the reason, they couldn’t explain it clearly. They just felt that there was a road ahead, so they kept walking along the road, but they couldn’t reach the end. They didn’t realize it was wrong until they were extremely tired, but they couldn’t see it when they turned their heads. Road, you can only go forward, and then come out as you walk.

In this way, things will be difficult.Many people were wondering if it was a ghost hitting the wall, but some Wu Zong elders went in and walked around and came to the conclusion that a formation was arranged here to prevent people from entering.

However, if you know it, you know that Formation One has been completely lost due to the decline of several other families. Facing this, they can't think of a solution except to stare blankly.

"I'm going to ask Mr. Sick." Just when everyone was at a loss, Song Yan, who had been acting very low-key in the crowd, suddenly said.Although Song Ting brought a population far exceeding the original hope base, the hope base was still dominated by Song Yan, which was Song Ting's request.Therefore, it was Song Yan who opened the secret collection this time.In fact, if Song Ting was really allowed to come over, Song Yan would not be at ease.After all, his elder brother is in his fifties and almost sixty, and he was hit by the Ruzhou incident again, so how dare he suffer another long-distance travel.

"Very good!" After he mentioned it, Yu Chifeng remembered that there was an expert in Hope Base that even he was afraid of, and immediately expressed his approval.Originally, it was agreed to invite him to open it together when he found the secret treasure, but he was too busy to forget it. At this time, it is hard to say that he really needs to use his power to solve this problem.The only thing to pray for right now is that he has dabbled in the formation.

"Let me go and have a look." The sick ghost who received the news said to Zhang Yi.This is what he kept making Zhang Yi wait.Although Zhang Yi has agreed to let Zhang Ruiyang leave the wasteland and become a key link in breaking the situation, in order to make him completely give up and cooperate wholeheartedly, it is best to kill his last chance of luck.This so-called secret treasure is the hope of everyone, so let them see what is inside.

Zhang Yi thought about it and didn't refuse.For him, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he is naturally unwilling to let Yang Yang leave him to face a dangerous and unpredictable strange place alone.If he goes, Nan Shao and Zhang Ruiyang will definitely accompany him.

It only took one day for the group to reach Qingshui.

When he came to the location of the secret treasure, he ignored the elder Wu Zong who was approaching him. He only glanced at the rotten lake and swamp, and the sick ghost understood what was going on. He didn't talk nonsense, and he didn't even bother to listen to other people's nonsense, so he asked Yuchifeng directly: "Enter the formation, or break the formation?"

Yu Chifeng and the others were stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, and hurriedly said to wait for them to discuss it.In fact, the discussion didn't last long, and the final answer was that they hoped to keep the formation, and the implication was naturally that they wanted a way to enter the formation.

In this regard, the sick ghost didn't bother to show off or ask for any benefits, it was because the formation in front of him was so simple that he was ashamed to use it as a condition, not to mention that these people really didn't have what he wanted.

"This is the most superficial phantom array, there is no difficulty, the way to enter is fixed, just keep in mind." He explained a few words casually.

The so-called meeting is not difficult, probably so.In the eyes of the sick ghost, the formation can only be stepped into in a few steps, but in the eyes of everyone, it is like a moat across the sky.

Kansan against Liugenqi... The last step was taken, and the scene in front of him suddenly changed.Where there are any rotten lakes and swamps, withered grass and fallen leaves, there is only a tall stone city wall standing in front of it, fulfilling its guardian mission meticulously like a simple and loyal guard.

The city wall is more than 30 meters high, extending to the left and right without end. It is constructed of four or five tons of long stones, imprinted with a hundred years of time, and under the gray sky, it looks profound and simple, with a boundless ancient meaning.

And where they stood was a wide square that was also paved with stones. Perhaps because of this, there was not a single mutated plant as far as their eyes could see.

This is the secret treasure?Except for the sick ghost, everyone was amazed by what they saw. According to their thinking patterns, in their original imagination, the secret treasure should be in a cave or crypt. Surrounded, could it be that there is still a small town inside?To provide people with refuge?

With such guesses and an indescribably weird feeling, Master Longhua pressed the combined secret key into the same-shaped insertion mouth on the huge iron-cast city gate.After waiting for a while, the ground began to vibrate, and there was a faint thunder-like sound coming from the depths of the ground, as if a prehistoric beast had begun to wake up.As the vibration intensified, the city gate in front of him slowly opened a gap.

People waited with bated breath. Amidst the heavy rolling sound of the pivots and gears that had been sleeping for hundreds of years, time seemed to be torn apart, revealing a scene that was never remembered by history.

The well-shaped wide avenue and the rough megalithic buildings, each over 20 meters in height and thousands of square meters in area, are arranged on both sides of the avenue like a crouching monster.A sense of savagery and coldness rushed towards us, shaking people's hearts.

Passing through the arched city gate and stepping on the stone road that seems to have been built yesterday but has the traces of a long time, everyone has the feeling of being suffocated by the great boldness of their ancestors.

Did not encounter any organs and dangers.This place was originally built to deal with human catastrophe, and it is not a treasure house for burials. Of course, it will not add unnecessary troubles and dangers.

"very impressive!"

"It's great!"

It took a while for people to get out of that shocking mood, and they unconsciously admired it, and at the same time, they also raised some expectations for this secret treasure.Maybe, maybe there is really a way to deal with the end of the world here?Even Zhang Yi couldn't help but his heart beat slightly faster, but when he looked at the sick ghost whose expression didn't change at all, his hot heart went cold again.

It is built so strong and majestic, could it be that it really provides people with refuge?But looking at the size and structure of this house, it doesn't look like a habitable place.With such doubts in mind, everyone's eyes naturally fell to the end of the main road, where stood a hall that looked like the entire megalithic city lord's building.

The main hall is about 50 meters high and covers an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters. The structure is simple and crude, but it gives people a heavy and majestic feeling, as if it can support people even if the sky falls.

All the answers may be in there.

Everyone was looking forward to it, but at the same time they were apprehensive. They expected that there would be a fundamental solution to the end-time crisis, but they were also worried that everything would be in vain.

Walking through the long main street, the tall stone houses on both sides stood silently like guards, as if they were guarding something.Stepping up the high steps, looking at the two unpretentious heavy wooden doors in front of him, Longhua Daoist paused for a moment before stretching out his hand to push them open.

Although the wooden door was heavy, it moved silently, and people subconsciously held their breath for fear of disturbing anything.

However, when the door was completely opened, everything that appeared disappointed everyone.

Behind the door is a hall with a size of only more than 200 square meters. There are no carved beams and painted columns in the hall. things.Of course, there is no danger.

There are words on the stele.

The catastrophe is approaching, and I have no power to mend the sky, so I have to do my best to gather the power of the world. It took 13 years to build this stone city. I prepared five thousand blood silk armors, five thousand white swords, and one thousand white wax spears. Two thousand short spears, and several treasures, should be able to find a place to breathe for our clan.However, these are all external things and cannot be relied upon. In addition, there are thousands of copies of the secret skills of various schools in the world, and eleven training places, nine illusions for ordinary trials, and one illusion for special trials. You can make good use of them.At the time of our clan's life and death, we must not have a view of family status.There is also a book pavilion attached, ancient sayings and essays, isolated copies of secret books, three religions and nine streams, all masters and hundreds of craftsmen are all included, thinking that the inheritance should not be cut off, and it must be reduced to first-class beasts.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't believe it. Except for the small monument in front of the main building of tens of thousands of square meters, the huge space is actually used to store books.

They checked all the other stone houses, and found that, as mentioned on the stele, there were only two weapon storages in the entire stone city, and the rest were all training grounds for improving their strength.

It is not too surprising that it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish, but people still can't help but feel a moment of disappointment, followed by deep despair, but life must go on.It's as if everyone knows that life is only a hundred years, and the destination is death, but they will still try their best to live a wonderful life.No one will be left behind in what should be fought and what should be grabbed.

And these have nothing to do with Zhang Yi. After the last hope was extinguished, they returned to the Hope Base, leaving Song Yan in the imperial capital to compete for the distribution of weapons and armor in the secret store and the number of people who entered Shicheng to practice. .Although it is hoped that the base has a big killer of sick ghosts, no one would dislike that there are many things to improve the strength, not to mention that it will involve the communication with other bases for a long time in the future.Not grabbing or occupying means that we are driven out of the mainstream circle and are increasingly ignored by people.This is very unfavorable to the survival and development of the entire base.

"When are you going?" Zhang Yi asked the sick ghost again when he went back.

"Anytime." This time, the sick ghost didn't make him wait any longer.

"As soon as possible." Zhang Yi proposed, but his heart was like a knife.The sooner the better, even if the son is still young, but instead of staying with him in danger, his life is in the hands of others, it is better to send it out as soon as possible, it is a way to survive.

Zhang Ruiyang looked at his father in a daze, not knowing that his fate had been decided.
