"We can't take the main road anymore," Rong Tan said, "We have to go around to the gate of the city."

The rain in the sky is still pattering, not only has it not stopped, but it is getting bigger and bigger.Wearing a robe, Rong Tan turned his head to look at Li Mu, only to see that Li Mu's face was slightly wet, and a drop of rainwater was about to fall on his chin, so he stretched out his hand and wiped it for him.Li Mu frowned slightly, and said, "We can go over there."

Rong Tan looked in the direction he pointed, and saw that there seemed to be a small road at the end of the small forest on the right, and he didn't know where it led.There were a few walking corpses in the woods, standing there blankly.

Rong Tan was very nervous. These walking corpses are becoming more and more difficult to deal with now, and their sense of hearing is more acute. According to what Lu Guangye said at the beginning, their sense of smell will also become more acute. Once they are bitten, the smell of blood will come out. No chance of survival.What's more, there are too many walking corpses here, far more than what they encountered on the road.The only way to survive is not to disturb them, and walk through carefully, otherwise, once they are disturbed, the corpses will besiege them, even if Li Mu and he have supernatural abilities, they may not be able to kill them all. There are so many walking corpses here, one walking corpse Take a bite and gnaw them until there are no bones left.

But this also has an advantage, don't worry about dying and turning into a walking corpse.

The ground was a little muddy after it rained, and the boots were covered with muddy water.Rong Tan propped up his robe to keep out the rain with one hand, and grabbed Li Mu's arm with the other, not daring to vent his breath.The path was even muddier, blood was everywhere, and the fishy smell was mixed with the smoke from the city, creating an indescribably unpleasant smell.Probably because of the long journey, these walking corpses are already in ragged clothes. The most frightening thing is that these walking corpses seem to have not eaten for many years. They are skinny, with sunken cheeks, and their eyes are bigger and more Godless, it seems that the skeleton is covered with a layer of skin.

Does such a walking corpse still have fighting power?Rong Tan really wanted to give it a try.He looked around, and suddenly grabbed Li Mu.

Li Mu looked back at him, and he pointed to one side quietly, then let Li Mu go, and walked over quickly.

Li Mu quickly followed, but at the place where Rong Tan stopped, he saw a man who had just died.

Said he was a man, in fact, he could not tell he was a man just by his appearance, but the clothes he was wearing were very familiar. This was the accompanying guard brought by Lu Guangye, and their Rong's family crest, peony, was embroidered on the chest.

Li Mu saw it too, his face changed slightly, and soon returned to normal.There were walking corpses not far away, Rong Tan wanted to comfort him a few words, but he was afraid of disturbing the group of walking corpses, so he had no choice but to give up.But since the guard died not long ago, it means that the master and the others have just arrived in Qingzhou City not long ago, maybe they can still catch up.

He didn't speak, but only quickened his pace, followed by Li Mu, the two of them got closer and closer to the gate of the city, and there were more and more walking corpses around them, and finally they couldn't move anymore.Outside the city wall is the moat, and there is only a suspension bridge in the middle, but the crowd of walking corpses on the suspension bridge is too dense, and it is too difficult to pass through the middle without being noticed.

Looking up, the city gate has been completely crushed, only the shield part of the general's portrait is stuck at the gate, leaving a gap half the height of a person.Everything under the blue-gray city wall turned dark red, all stained with blood.

"It seems that if we want to enter Qingzhou City, we have to enter through other city gates."

Generally, a city has four gates in the southeast, north and west, but a big city like Qingzhou has more gates.They immediately rushed to the other gates, only to find that there were many walking corpses gathered outside the gates of the other gates.Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Rong Tan had an idea: "By the way, isn't there a water gate? No matter how powerful these walking corpses are, they won't even be surrounded by the water gate, right?"

"I've thought about it a long time ago, but your body is just right, the water is too cold now, you..."

"I'm fine, I'm so good at water, you forgot? Since you thought about it long ago, why didn't you say it earlier. I was just sick, so I'm so delicate. Besides, what happened to the master and the others, we don't care I know, I'm really worried, if I can't enter the city today, I won't be able to sleep or eat."

The old master is Li Mu's biological father, so Li Mu is naturally no less worried than him.It's just that he was really worried about Rong Tan's body, so he only said: "Let me think about it again."

"Don't think about it, let's go. If you think about it, it's dark, and accidents are more likely to happen."

Rong Tan pulled Li Mu and left: "Quickly tell me, where is the water gate?"

Not every city has water gates. If there are water gates, there is usually a river running through the whole city, so there are two water gates in the city. In Qingzhou City, there is a river that is famous all over the world. It is called Jiuqu River, because this river is located in Qingzhou. There are nine bends in the city.The reason why Rong Tan knew about this river was that the Jiuqu River and the Yanglong Bay in the capital were in the same vein, connected by an underground river.

When they arrived at the water gate, they found that it was much safer than the other city gates. Those walking corpses didn't know how to swim, and the few floating on the water were no different from dead people.Li Mu said: "I don't know what's going on at the other end of the water gate, you just wait here, I'll go and see if I can pass."

Rong Tan nodded, took over the burden, and watched Li Mu go into the water. He originally wanted Li Mu to take off his clothes before going down, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. In these extraordinary times, it is better not to be naked. Tighten your body to avoid accidents, and you have to run naked for your life.It doesn't matter to him, he can't let Li Muguang be chased by walking corpses.

But Li Mu didn't come back after a long time.Rong Tan stood on the shore and waited anxiously, not knowing what was going on, and panicked terribly.It looks safe from the outside of the water gate, but it's hard to say what's going on inside the water gate. If Li Mu is already entangled by walking corpses, it's not easy to get out. It's even more likely that she has suffered an accident at this moment. In the end Tan was really anxious, so he called out in a low voice: "Li Mu, Li Mu!"

Before he called out, he took a special look around. The walking corpses closest to him were more than ten feet away, and his voice was as low as possible. Now that he has become so sensitive, he turned his head almost the moment he made a sound.Rong Tan was startled, a walking corpse rushed over first.This walking corpse made a move, and almost immediately a bunch of walking corpses rushed over.Rong Tan was so frightened that he hurriedly ran in the opposite direction, but those walking corpses who were already skinny looked faster and more urgent than before. , but still couldn't run away from the walking corpses, seeing that the walking corpses were about to grab his robe, Rong Tan jumped into the moat.

He only heard a "plop", and the icy cold autumn water surrounded him in an instant.He quickly threw away the burden on his arms, and kicked his legs to swim to the surface of the water, but only heard a few dull "plop" sounds, and then saw a walking corpse burrowing into the water, right in front of his face, Pale and thin cheeks, hollow eyes, a wide open mouth, and a skinny arm.He hurriedly turned around in fear, but the walking corpse grabbed his ankle, and more and more walking corpses jumped into the water like the wind, densely packed, and all of them sank from the surface of the water!
