In the dead of night, in the guest room on the corridor on the second floor of the inn.

The thin window paper was gently poked open, and a faint fragrance permeated the air, mixed with the smell of ecstasy and yanghua, soundlessly.

The people who tossed and turned inside for half a night finally fell asleep peacefully, lying on the bed, their bodies gradually became motionless.

Chi Diao twitched his nose sharply, opened his eyes in the dark, and saw the darkness in front of him, whether it was morning or dusk.Others feel sad, but he feels at ease.

The cub on the bed rolled and whimpered, and Chi Diao tucked it into his clothes.The little guy has gained some weight these days, and his body is getting rounder and rounder.Chi Diao stuffed a cloth pocket on his chest, specially as its small nest.The little guy quietly found his place and stayed there, a pair of bright amber eyes shining strangely in the darkness.

He touched the purple jade gourd at his waist and the cold wooden sign again, and listened to the window to make sure that no one was outside. He gently opened the door with his bare feet, and Chi Diao ran out along the corridor. .

As soon as he went out, he was so excited by the thick bloody smell outside that he couldn't help sneezing.I touched the door next to me, and my hands were still warm and slippery.

The owner of the blood was right next to him, and the fat shopkeeper with a round and blessed face had become a dead man at this moment.Head twisted to one side, severed arm thrown aside.The mouth was stuffed with cloth strips to prevent making a sound.

The downstairs hall was empty, with doors and windows open.

The cold wind poured in from the outside, and a strong smell of blood radiated out. A newly formed walking corpse staggered in, looking for the target.

Chi Diao hid in the room and saw that the walking corpse found the food lying on the ground on the second floor.

----

"There are too many of us, and those walking corpses are especially sensitive to smell. Moving together may attract attention."

Chu Jinhe tied up his long sleeves which were not suitable for activities, put on a large black cloak to cover his face, closed his eyes and opened his mouth slightly.

"It's better to divide the troops into two groups. Follow me all the way to the east, go out of the city and enter the forest, and follow Ernyi all the way to the south to the gate of the big city. If you can escape by chance, you will gather at the mouth of the river ten miles away."

He sighed.

"From now on, each will depend on his destiny."

Twenty-one stood behind him, showing no intention of moving.

"My order is only to protect you, Lord, and other things have nothing to do with me. It is above your order to protect your life."

After some discussion, six or seven selected guards followed Chu Jinhe on the [-]st and [-]th, and the rest went to the south gate.

The two gangs parted ways in the dark under the small building behind the inn. Chu Jinhe seemed calm on the surface, and he had already made plans in his heart.Since the walking corpses cannibalize human flesh, there must be fewer walking corpses and less danger in places such as mountains and forests where there are few people.

They tossed about in this inn, and the rest of the guards walked from the front to attract the attention of the walking corpse, and the probability of escape increased by three or four points.

There is no way to do this, if he doesn't want to die, someone must die for him.And he felt that his own life was much more precious than those people's lives.

With the creaking leaves under their feet and no lights on, the group of people sneaked out of the alley like a group of mice that could not see the light.

A pale hand stretched out from the darkness and grabbed the arm of the last twenty-nine.

Nianjiu screamed in fright, and threw his whole body backwards, almost falling to the ground, but fortunately, Nianji pulled him back.

Chu Jinhe, who was walking in front, let out a low drink, turned his head and saw a pale face in the hazy darkness.At this time, the gloomy face was inexplicably tinged with ghostly aura.

Nianjiu hid behind Nianyi and spoke tremblingly.

"There are... there are ghosts!"

Twenty-one didn't do anything, because that person was not a ghost, but a living person.

Recognizing that face was Lu Muzhuo, Chu Jinhe breathed a sigh of relief.

Chi Diao's blind eyes didn't blink in the dark, and there was no sound under his feet.He is like a beast that hides in the night, or a ghost that cannot see the light.

"You took all the food away, there was nothing to eat in the inn, only a lot of dead people eating people."

He didn't say anything, he just stood at the end of the line and expressed his attitude.

A fluffy head protruded from his collar, grabbing Chi Diao's collar and staring at Chu Jinhe with him.

Chu Jinhe frowned, acquiescing to Chi Diao's existence, waved his hand at the people in front, and said in a low voice.

"Keep going, into the forest. Be careful, don't attract the attention of those ghosts!"

-

This mountain city is built on the narrow and long Chishui River, a few hundred meters away from the city is a steep cliff next to the water.Only the most protruding point is connected to a wide road, which is barely out of the range of the mountains.

Twenty-one had seen the map of the mountain city, and a group of ten of them walked along the path to the river, holding their breath and tiptoeing.On the road, I met a new walking corpse. One of the guards was caught off guard and his neck was bitten off. After biting another person, the walking corpse was also cut off by Twenty-One with a long knife, and he could no longer live. .

On the bank of the river, the river was rushing, with white waves, and a few bones were stranded on the bank. They were black and indistinguishable skeletons of humans and animals.The mountain forest on the opposite side was also shadowy and dark.

There are two ways to leave this mountain city, one is to go south, walk through the long and narrow urban area and exit the gate.The other way is to cross the river and enter the mountains.

But if you want to enter the mountain, you must cross the river.

The river ferry was empty, and the boatman and the boats were missing. The pond fishing was probably turned into a walking corpse or a piece of meat in the stomach of a walking corpse.Anyway, it is impossible to use the boat to carry them across the river.

"Go up this road for a mile and a half and there is a bridge." Twenty-one folded a branch to look at the patterns on the leaves.

Chu Jinhe gritted his teeth looking at the guard who was hanging at the end because of his injury.

Now they have no other way to go.

The forest becomes denser as you go up, and the road becomes narrower and narrower. The trees are densely packed together and grow inseparably.

Chi Diao walked beside Chu Jinhe, his footsteps were light and skillful, and quietly, in stark contrast to the stumbling of others.

"That wounded man, you better be careful."

He leaned close to Chu Jinhe's ear and said.

"We're running out of manpower, and we need someone to bring that food and water. I don't think it's right for a person who is useless to say that."

Chu Jinhe's voice was cold, and he lowered his head without looking at him.

"He was injured by that kind of walking corpse. Remember that Xiao Er who died in the inn yesterday? I suspect that anyone who is bitten by this kind of walking corpse will eventually become such a walking corpse."

Chi Diao said to himself.

The author has something to say:

Good night!!
