The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 159 Third Order System
Zhao Yanxun loosened the lid of the wooden box, only to hear a "snap", and the box closed tightly.

Zhao Yanxun took a few steps back, with a hint of panic in his expression, at this moment he understood everything.

The white jade wall contained in the box, the moment he opened the box, a wisp of black air spewed out.

This black air is the meteorite radiation, and only he can see it with the blessing of the system.

No wonder the system will take the initiative to warn, no wonder Hou Yunhe will mutate, presumably it is related to this thing.

At this moment, the guards were staring at the red sandalwood box. They really didn't understand what terrible things could be contained in a small box.

Walking to Hou Shiyun's side, Zhao Yanxun pointed to the box and asked, "Where did you get the things in the box?"

Zhao Yanxun was also very puzzled, why a round of white jade wall would emit black air like meteorites.

"The jade bi was a gift from someone else. Because it is precious and rare, my father couldn't put it down and refused to show it to others... When he was in good health, he used to play with it from time to time, and he didn't allow anyone to touch it!"

It could be seen that she didn't understand what her father did, because even she had never touched this jade bi.

But Zhao Yanxun knew that it was Hou Yunhe's overvaluation of this jade bi that Hou Shiyun didn't mutate with him.

"After my father fell ill, this thing has been stored in the box, and it has not been opened during this period!"

Having no time to pay attention to Hou Shiyun's careful thoughts, Zhao Yanxun then asked: "Then do you know who gave this object to your father?"

Hou Shiyun replied: "It seems to be a gift from a big family outside the city. I think it is to ask my father to do something!"

When saying this, Hou Shiyun looked extremely embarrassed, after all, corruption and bribery are disgraceful.

"Except for that box, don't touch it, look for the ledger in the room!" Zhao Yanxun instructed the guards.

On the shelves in the room, except for not many books, the rest are all antique calligraphy and paintings.

These things are of great value, and even more of them have no market value, and most of them are obtained through bribery.

In fact, in this era, being an official and accepting bribes is actually nothing unusual.

Officials generally record the origin of things, after all, it is easy to confuse when they receive too many things.

While the guards were searching, Zhao Yanxun came to the bookshelf again and picked up the red sandalwood box.

"Your father was killed by this jade bi!" Zhao Yanxun said slowly.

Hou Shiyun nodded in confusion, but didn't ask why. The horrible incident she experienced tonight made her feel that nothing else was important.

After a while, a guard shouted: "My lord, here is a handwritten booklet!"

The booklet was handed over to Zhao Yanxun, and upon opening it, it turned out to be a booklet recording bribery.

Flipping through the pages, Zhao Yanxun was an eye-opener. Every bribe recorded on it was written down in detail with the time and reason.

Zhao Yanxun browsed quickly and found the record about this white jade.

"April 24th, 25th year of Tai'an, He Hongxian, Hejiazhuang, Hecheng County, presented top-quality white jade..."

On April 25th, just a few days after I arrived in Yuanyang, this guy got the white jade.

Corroded by the black energy emanating from the stone, Hou Yunhe immediately fell ill and never appeared again.

But why, other people who were eroded by black energy mutated directly while they were alive, but Hou Yunhe only changed after he died.

After much deliberation, there is no explanation. Zhao Yanxun can only attribute it to the fact that it is white jade, which is different from the radiation of the black meteorite.

But in the final analysis, he still knows too little about meteorites.

"He Hongxian of Hejiazhuang?" Thinking of this briber, Zhao Yanxun instantly understood many things.

After he came to Yuanyang, the first place where he found zombies was Hejiazhuang in Hecheng County.

That is to say, the mutation in Hejiazhuang was most likely caused by this white jade.

No wonder I didn't find the meteorite at that time, but I couldn't find the source of the disaster, and it had already been sent to Yuanyang City.

Zhao Yanxun shook his head helplessly, the world is really unexpected.

"Ding, the meteorite core has been detected, it can be used to activate the third-order system!"

Zhao Yanxun was stunned by the notification sound from the system in his head. He was thinking about finding a place to bury this thing!
But through the system prompt, Zhao Yanxun learned that this thing is the core of a meteorite, no wonder it is not as dark as an ordinary meteorite.

Third-order system?Thank God you finally came... Zhao Yanxun was a little excited for a moment.

"Activate!" Zhao Yanxun did not hesitate.

"Ding, the meteorite radiation has been absorbed, and the activation progress is [-]%!"

"Fuck..." Zhao Yanxun couldn't help cursing.

"Ding, activate the Tier [-] system for the first time, and reward the host with an out-of-print meteorite sword!"

"Meteor Iron War Knife? What is it?" Zhao Yanxun asked in his heart.

Then a dialog box popped up in the system in his mind, which introduced the details of the sword.

From the appearance, this knife is not much different from the knife in Zhao Yanxun's hand at the moment, the main difference is that this meteorite iron knife is extremely strong.

"System, how to activate the third-order system?"

"The meteorite core is required for the first activation, and the rest of the activation progress can be carried out with the meteorite core shell!"

Meteorites are needed to activate the progress, this thing is not easy to handle, and Zhao Yanxun felt a little difficult for a while.

He was not in a hurry to get the saber, only to see that he opened the lid of the wooden box a little, and no black air escaped from it at this moment.

Open the lid completely, and there is a jade bi inside, which is no harm to the world, which makes Zhao Yanxun feel relieved.

Taking the jade bi out of the box, Zhao Yanxun handed it to Hou Shiyun and said, "This is your father's relic, so you can keep it!"

After saying that, Zhao Yanxun walked out of the study with someone, his business has been done, now it's time to go back and rest.

Hou Shiyun froze in place, holding the jade bi, she couldn't help crying, her family was ruined and her family was ruined, which made her extremely desperate.

The crying sound behind him made Zhao Yanxun stop in his tracks.

He turned around and said calmly: "It's dangerous outside tonight, let's go to the palace to escape for the night!"

His words of concern are like a ray of light in the long night, and it is hope for Hou Shiyun.

In fact, Zhao Yanxun uttered these words by accident, and it seemed strange to bring Hou Shiyun back to the palace.

"Thank you, my lord!" Hou Shiyun wiped away tears.

Here Zhao Yanxun went back to the mansion, and a large number of guards of the palace were still scattered in the city to clean up the zombies.

The zombies are few in number, so they don't pose much of a threat. It's the night that really bothers them.

"It's not bad. The gates of all the squares are closed, and the monsters can't do anything!" Liu Enfu said in a deep voice.

"My lord, I heard that... In a few days, we will go out of the city to clean up the monsters. Has your lord heard about this?"

Glancing at the general flag under his command, Liu Enfu said expressionlessly, "Why, are you scared?"

"There are endless monsters outside, can we really clean them up?"

Although I have confidence in Zhao Yanxun's leadership, there are countless zombies outside, and it is extremely difficult to kill them all.

"Don't worry, all princes have their own plans, we just need to follow the prince's guidance!" Liu Enfu said slowly.

The miraculousness Zhao Yanxun showed is the support for their persistence and the source of their hope.

At this moment, a guard in front shouted: "My lord, there is one in front!"

Liu Enfu immediately reprimanded: "What a fart, just kill him!"

"I don't know what's going on with Wang Zong!" Liu Enfu murmured.
