Zombies are a disaster that human society is caught off guard, but in fact, even if there were no zombies, the world would not be able to last much longer due to the overwhelming needs of human beings. The outbreak of the zombie virus just brought this disaster forward.

In any case, when the disaster is in front of them, it is impossible for many people to calmly deal with it, especially when they see the compatriots in the opposite camp being killed one by one, but they are helpless. Many people who rushed to the gate of the base could not make a sound.

In addition to the screams and tearing sounds in the camp, there was a strange dead silence on the base side, and even the well-trained officers and soldiers on weekdays trembled slightly as they held their guns.

The distance between the camp and the base was not far or close, which happened to be the furthest distance for shooting. Shooting here would not save those people, but it would undoubtedly be a great risk for the officers and soldiers to pass by. Therefore, the base decided to stand still after careful consideration.

It was a monster they had never seen before.

The whole body is blood red, covered with large and small pimples, some even ooze pus, and there are long barbs on the limbs. The moment the monster locks on the prey, the monster will stick out its long and powerful tongue, and it will kill it in one fell swoop. The prey's head is pierced, and the brain-stained tongue is retracted.If it weren't for the shadow of human beings left in his behavior, no one would have thought that it evolved from zombies.

It turns out that any creature will evolve, and zombies are no exception.

"Then, what kind of monster is that..." A staff member in charge of guarding at the gate of the base turned pale and couldn't even speak.

Shen Fei sneered, "You see, it's the evolution of zombies, we met them on the way here, if you hadn't left those people on the opposite side, they wouldn't be helpless now!"

He was a little agitated, and Xiang Yuan patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

The staff member said, "We don't want to, but there is really no place there..."

Shen Fei ignored him no more.

After more than ten minutes, the shouting on the other side gradually became much smaller until it was completely calm.

But everyone knew that it was not the real calm, but the prelude to the storm. After those evolved zombies killed all the people in the opposite camp, they must be the next target.

A man dressed as an officer stood in front of the soldiers. Zou Yang didn't understand military ranks, but looking at him, he seemed calm.

Zou Yang found that since following Zhou Yin, his physical and psychological qualities have been steadily improving. Not to mention that he is still very calm when he sees evolutionary zombies. If he saw ordinary zombies before, he would probably be scared to death. Yes, so it is said that people are trained.Now he has even made a plan, if Zhou Yin and the others want to part ways after arriving in city b, then he can't just follow them, or risk his life, and he will be a good man again 18 years later.

"Sink into the dantian." Zhou Yin stood beside him and suddenly said.

What?Zou Yang didn't react for a long time.

"Aren't you going to learn spells?" Zhou Yin didn't look at him, his eyes fell on the opposite camp.

Zou Yang was taken aback for a moment, and then almost jumped up with joy, only then did he realize that the timing and location were wrong.

"Master, now?"

"You don't need to call me master, I didn't accept you as an apprentice."

"Oh," it seemed that he had to make persistent efforts, Zou Yang received Zhou Chen's wink of "you earned it", scratched his head, and choked out a sentence, "Brother Zhou, what is inside, what does it mean to sink your dantian?"

This is how martial arts novels are written, he knows, but we have never practiced martial arts!

Zhou Yin: "...Three inches below the navel is for the lower pubic region, breathing in the hut to enter the pubic field. The left thumb presses the root of the right ring finger, and the right middle finger connects with the thumb, intending to guard the dantian."

Zou Yang was still not stupid enough, he hurriedly made gestures according to Zhou Yin's instructions, and stood upright.

Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale, go down hard... no, go down and hold the breath.

Everyone stared at each other with high nervousness, and no one noticed their small movements.

Zhou Yin stretched out his hand to Zou Yang's elbow and flicked it lightly. Zou Yang only felt a numbness in his arm, and then a warm current poured in from the elbow joint, slowly rushed to his head, and flowed along the blood and meridians. It flows to all parts of the body, warm and very comfortable, and at the same time, it seems that a wave of "qi" has gradually gathered in his dantian.

An inexplicable feeling arises spontaneously. When Zhou Yinyi said that the zombie virus is actually a cloud of "qi", Zou Yang always felt that he was in the cloud and had no specific concept, but now he can finally understand it. It really cannot be described in words, but you have to experience it yourself.

"Concentrate and imagine that a fire is slowly generated in the palm of your hand and then burns."

The aura that Zhou Yin gave to Zou Yang was really insignificant to him, but it was of great use to Zou Yang, because the aura in this world itself was extremely lacking, far inferior to that of the Taichu Continent, so the people here were considered to be cultivators. He will not be able to reach the realm of ascension in his whole life, but as long as Zou Yang continues to practice according to his guidance, even if he cannot ascend, it is not impossible to reach the Nascent Soul Stage.

Zou Yang closed his eyes and did as he was told. With Zhou Yin and Zhou Chen by his side, his sense of security skyrocketed unprecedentedly. Not to mention the evolutionary zombies on the opposite side, even if he evolved a few more levels, he would not be afraid anymore.

His mood gradually calmed down, and the surrounding noises were gradually fading away. He tried to guide the qi in his body to flow from his dantian to his hands, and then imagined that his hands were slowly warming up, with a ball of fire burning in his palms, as Zhou Yin said. rise……

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly felt that his hands were very hot. He couldn't help but opened his eyes, looked down, and found that there was indeed a mass of red flames at the place where the palms were clasped. With a sound.

Shen Fei and the others turned their heads to see Zou Yang staring at his palm in disappointment.

"Xiao Zou, what's the matter?"

"It's okay." Zou Yang came back to his senses and smiled at them.

Seeing that the two of them turned their heads, he approached Zhou Yin, "Brother Zhou, it's gone!"

"Because you are not strong-willed and distracted at every turn." Zhou Yin said lightly.

Zou Yang stuck out his tongue.

Zhou Chen smiled, "Teaching apprentices is such a trivial matter, why don't you, Ayin, do it yourself, let me do it!"

Zou Yang subconsciously felt that he was not as reliable as Zhou Yin, and looked at him suspiciously.

Zhou Chen didn't miss his eyes, and smiled kindly, "Every change is the same, from changing fire to killing zombies, it's the same truth. A great man of yours said that practice is the only criterion for testing truth. I think Quite right."

The second monk Zou Yangzhang couldn't figure it out, "Master, what are you talking about?"

"You'll know later." Zhou Chen was unpredictable.

Zou Yang did know soon.

Those evolved zombies killed everyone in the camp, and quickly targeted the base.

They obviously already possessed initial intelligence, at least they will not rush forward like ordinary zombies, but stay in the camp without moving. Under the cover of the tent, they swish a few times and rush into the nearby woods , soon disappeared.

The sun had already set, and no matter how bright the lights of the base were, they could only illuminate one area. The trees were pitch-black, making it difficult to see what was going on inside.

The security of the base has been raised to the highest level. Except for the soldiers at the gate, defenses have been set up all around. The surrounding barbed wire is connected to high-voltage electricity. Some people in the base hurried back underground because of fear, and some were more courageous. , relying on the surrounding high barbed wire, still standing there watching the excitement.

Time passed by every minute and every second. After all, it is impossible for people to concentrate all the time. Just when some people's spirits were relaxed, several black figures suddenly jumped out of the forest and rushed towards the base at an extremely fast speed. No worse than a cheetah.

"Shoot!" the officer yelled.

As soon as the voice fell, gunshots rang out one after another, densely echoing in the mountains, and many birds flew up from the woods. It was like a pot exploded in the silent night.

Bullets have no effect on zombies. Unless they can hit the neck and completely cut off their nervous system, otherwise even if they hit the heart, the zombies will still continue to move.

The dense bullets hit those evolved zombies, but they stopped their speed in the air for a while, almost without any impact, and the speed and agility of these zombies were much higher than ordinary zombies. When he reacted, the zombies were already in front of him.

The long sharp claws clawed down, and the soldier didn't even have time to let out a scream. His facial features had become an unrecognizable mass of flesh and blood, and he fell down with a plop.

"Withdraw! Withdraw! Withdraw inside!"

The situation is very bad, the officer shouted hoarsely, and the staff at the door ran desperately inside, but the speed of the zombies was too fast, and two of them who ran slower were immediately pierced through a hole in the back, and their intestines It flowed all over the place.

When the large army retreated, Zhou Yin and the others became conspicuous targets. A few evolved zombies had obviously been eyeing them, their blood-red eyes rolled around, and their long tongues suddenly rolled towards them.

The target is Zhou Yin.

Zou Yang suddenly heard Zhou Chen lazily say behind him, "It's time to test the truth."

Then he was pushed on the back, and his body involuntarily rushed towards Zhou Yin, just blocking him and the zombie.

Nima, cheating, I'm not ready yet!

Zou Yang's mind went blank, he stared blankly at the long, thick and ugly tongue piercing his forehead.

"Take care of the dantian, the qi meridians, and the hand turns into a blade, which is as sharp as a sword." At the critical moment, Zhou Yin's voice filled his ears, Zou Yang didn't have time to think about it, and followed the method Zhou Yin taught him just now, Gathering energy in the palm of his hand, he grabbed the zombie's tongue.

Suddenly, he felt that the originally fast zombie was actually not that fast, and his eyes could even catch its attacking trajectory.

The palm of his hand seemed to be getting hotter. He didn't even think about it. According to Zhou Yin's words, he concentrated and imagined that all the energy in his body was pouring into his palm, and then turned into a blade of energy, and grabbed it!

The zombie let out an ugly howl, lost its balance and fell to the ground. It could see that this group of people was not easy to deal with. It stared at Zou Yang with bloodthirsty eyes, and turned to the gate of the base. pounce.

Zou Yang grabbed half of his tongue, feeling nauseous enough, looking at the slippery mucus in his hands, he wanted to cry but couldn't care less about being happy: "Where can I wash my hands?"

The base killed the dozen or so zombies at the heavy cost of losing dozens of soldiers. In the end, one zombie almost broke into the base and was turned into coke by the high-voltage electricity.

No one knows when the zombies evolved, and no one knows how many evolved zombies are hidden around, but even the most ordinary people in the base know that this base is not as safe as they thought before. Zombies keep coming, and if they don't have more manpower and weapons, then one day, the base will end up like the opposite camp.

Because of the vast land and sparse population in the northwest of country Z, everyone ran here in the early days of the zombie outbreak. Now there are not a few bases like this, and there are dozens of them, but this is not a long-term solution. Humans are beginning to realize that zombies may still evolve. , They need to fight a protracted war, and the cycle may be years or decades.

The work of researching virus vaccines is still going on. Human beings not only have to fight against zombies, but also their own compatriots. In the face of survival crisis, many people give up their humanity, like Li Shun and Tang Jing, and many people stick to their principles. Like Shen Fei and Xiang Yuan, in this tug-of-war, there are more and more zombies and fewer and fewer living people, but the remaining survivors did not give up hope.

Zou Yanglu's move, because it was in the dark and the scene was chaotic, no one noticed, and he didn't want to take refuge in the base. After last night, he became more determined to learn from Zhou Yin , You must know that offense is the best defense.

Shen Fei and Xiang Yuan finally decided to stay at the base, while Zhou Yin and Zhou Chen continued to walk in the direction of City B, and Zou Yang naturally followed.

After a long journey, accidents and dangers coexisted, and ten days later, the three finally arrived in City B.

City b is the political center of country z, with the largest population in the country. When the biochemical crisis first started, it was also the hardest hit area. However, because the central government and the command center are here, it took a lot of manpower and material resources to clean up the zombies. When Zhou Yin and the others arrived, the zombies had basically been controlled outside the fourth ring, and within the third ring was the residence of the survivors, with a blank area drawn in the middle for martial law.

Evolutionary zombies appearing elsewhere, of course, in City B. Fortunately, there are many heavy weapons here, and both sides suffered casualties. After the zombies evolved to a level, the speed of mutation began to slow down. No more advanced evolutionary bodies have been found yet.

A road leading to the outside of city b has been cleared. Zou Yang and the others entered city b from here. All personnel entering city b must go through strict inspections. If they are found to be infected with the virus, they will be immediately quarantined on the spot, so So far it is safe within the third ring road.

Zou Yang is actually mentally prepared for not being able to find Guo Ziyu again, but he has never given up hope in the slightest, and he is more attentive when learning spells with Zhou Yin, hoping that when he finds Guo Ziyu one day, he will be able to protect him.

The National Museum in City B is well preserved. For safety reasons, even many cultural relics from the Forbidden City have been moved here. Due to the extraordinary period, it is not open to the public.

The two stood outside the museum, inconspicuous.

"Master in the future, you said that the source of the virus is inside?" Zou Yang frowned.

"Go in and have a look." Zhou Yin said, walking forward first.

"Hey, wait, don't you need to call Mrs. Mistress, won't it be too..." dangerous for us to just go in like this?

"Do you know where he is?"

"Uh, I don't know."

I don't know what method Zhou Yin used. The locked door opened as soon as it was pushed, and the alarm system seemed to fall into a deep sleep. The two of them seemed to be in a no-man's land.

The treasures inside are dazzling, and each piece is worth millions. Even today when human beings are facing life and death, they still have extremely high value.

At this moment, Zou Yang shuttled among the various glass display cabinets, and suddenly came up with a thought: I failed to recognize the owner by dripping blood on those antiques before, maybe the value of those things is not good, if the things in front of me are recognized by blood dripping one by one Lord, I wonder if we can try out the space?

But just thinking about it, Zhou Yin walked quickly, he hardly looked at these things, and went straight to the innermost workshop.

In the empty exhibition hall, only the footsteps of two people echoed.

In the innermost workshop, a half-person-high cubic wooden box came into view.

Zhou Yin raised his hand, the wood shattered and fell down one after another, revealing the contents inside.

A bronze tripod.

Zou Yang studied it for a long time. "Future Master, this is the source of the virus."

Zhou Yin hummed and observed it.

This is a three-legged tripod with exquisite patterns of gluttonous fish and insects carved on it. After years of baptism, it has changed from a golden color at the beginning to the current copper green.

No matter how Zou Yang looked at it, he didn't see the strangeness of this tripod.

Zhou Yin glanced at him, "Why are you so far away?"

Zou Yang laughed dryly: "Master in the future, I'm not as invulnerable as you. It would be bad if I got infected by the virus."

"The infected people all reached out to touch it. It's okay if you haven't touched it. Come here."

Zou Yang walked over obediently, looked in the direction Zhou Yin was pointing at, and gasped, "What is this, like a talisman?"

Zhou Yin nodded, "It should be used to seal, if not, the 'Qi' above has already come out, even if you stand so far away, you will be infected."

Zou Yang understood: "That is to say, the original virus could be transmitted through the air, and later someone sealed it on this tripod, so only people who have touched it can be infected?"

Zhou Yin said: "There should be more than this source in this world. If I'm not wrong, you have Egypt and North America."

Zou Yang was taken aback, "Where is it?" He didn't notice that Zhou Yin used "you".

Zhou Yin said: "Pyramid."

Egypt has the Pharaoh’s Pyramids, while Mexico has the Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon. Before the outbreak of the zombie tide, news reports indicated that it was the time for large-scale archaeological excavations of the pyramids in these two countries.

Zou Yang opened his mouth wide, digested it, and sorted out a set of thoughts, "So it actually makes sense. Whether it's ancient Egypt, the ancient Indians in Mexico, or the people of country Z, there were murders and sacrifices in ancient times." According to the heavens, if the virus first appeared, to the ancients, it was indeed like being possessed by a demon, so they used living sacrifices to seek peace, and later the virus spread, so they had to put a seal on it , but I didn’t expect that after thousands of years, it was still dug out, so people who came into contact with it were naturally infected with the virus.”

"Maybe." Zhou Yin was noncommittal. In fact, his understanding of the history of this world was not as deep as that of Zou Yang, but what Zou Yang said might be close to the truth.

"So this virus, where did the 'qi' you mentioned come from? Why did this kind of thing appear in the first place?" Zou Yang asked.

"I only know that it doesn't belong to this world." Zhou Yin said.

"And how do you know?"

"Because I don't belong to this world." Zhou Yin said shocking words in his usual indifferent tone.

With a wave of his hand, he put the cauldron into the Sumeru Ring, ready to take it back and study it carefully.

Zou Yang was still immersed in the shock of what he said just now, even with the tripod tripod suddenly disappearing in front of his eyes, it was not so difficult to accept.Because Zhou Yin never joked, Zou Yang believed it almost without thinking about it.

Ever since he met Zhou Yin and the others, he knew that there were various things about them that were hard to explain with common sense. It's no longer enough for an expert to sum it up in one word.

"...Master in the future, do you mean you are an alien? So is your wife? Did you go to the earth to do research? Is the civilization of your planet far more advanced than that of the earth? What, do you still have the same kind here? Why do you grow up? You have to be exactly the same as us? How many light-years is the earth from you? How did you come here, did you take a time machine? By the way, there are so many zombies on the earth now, have you ever thought about helping the people on earth, or like in science fiction, Alien civilizations come to Earth for civilization observation, you are just observers?"

Zhou Yin was silent for a long time before speaking: "I don't understand what you are talking about."

Zou Yang: "..."

The two walked out of the museum, and Zhou Chen was leaning against a pillar outside. Although Zou Yang thought he was flirtatious, it was undeniable that Zhou Chen's appearance was indeed very good. Even in this apocalyptic world, women often took the initiative to flirt with him In contrast, because of Zhou Yin's frequent facial paralysis, no one dared to approach him.

"We're leaving." Zhou Yin said.

"Where are you going?" Zou Yang was taken aback.

"The journey is over, the things have been taken, it's time to go back."

Zou Yang remembered what he said just now, and hurriedly said, "Then come back?"

Zhou Yin said lightly: "It depends on the situation."

The universe is vast and there are countless worlds. When they come here again next time, it will be many years later.

Zou Yang seemed to realize something too, forced a laugh, then knelt down suddenly, and seriously knocked his head three times.

"Master in the future, although you won't let me call you Master, if it weren't for you, maybe my body would have been terribly cold somewhere, no matter whether you regard me as an apprentice or not, I will never forget the kindness you and my wife Yes!" he said solemnly.

Zhou Chen whistled.

Zhou Yin accepted his obeisance safely, and said: "I have taught you the basic skills of cultivation and the tricks of a few spells. Next, it depends on how you master it and what achievements you will have in the future. It is also your own chance. If there is fate, we will meet again."

The implication is that Zou Yang, a disciple, has been acquiesced.

"Master..." Zou Yang's eyes turned red and he choked up.

Since the apocalypse, he has no relatives. Although he didn't say anything, he has long regarded Zhou Yin and the others as relatives. Although he has always had a belief in his heart that he wants to find Guo Ziyu, Zhou Yin is the one who can survive. really depend on.

Zhou Chen grabbed Zhou Yin's waist and waved away the flies.

"Okay, don't act like a child, don't you still want to find your little fish, go and go!"

"Master, take care, remember to come back to me, I will live on, find Xiaoyu, and bring him to see you!"

Zou Yang wiped away his tears, turned his head three times at a step, and his figure slowly disappeared into the darkness.

Zhou Chen took a sip.

"I didn't expect you to accept apprentices here."

"He has good aptitude. If it weren't for the lack of spiritual energy here, the progress of cultivation would be faster."

"It's not slow now, with your aura, it's enough for him to benefit from it for a long time."

Character determines fate, and Zou Yang has the opportunity he has today because of his own behavior. If he hadn't invited Zhou Yin to join him when he left X City, and abandoned him for his own survival, there would be no later stories In contrast, Pei Xiaoyue went to a completely different fate.

Zhou Chen left City B at that time, but Pei Xiaoyue did not follow him, because Ni Shanshan had been in society for many years and was always wary of strangers like Zhou Chen, so she finally decided to stay in City B. Pei Xiaoyue, for a friend, So they didn't go with Zhou Chen. When they came back here, Zhou Chen used his spiritual sense to detect and found that there was no trace of Pei Xiaoyue in city b.

In this way, there are only two possibilities, either Pei Xiaoyue is dead, or she has left city b, and the former is far more likely than the latter.In troubled times, two girls simply cannot go too far.

Zhou Yin: "Where did you go just now?"

Zhou Chen: "Guess?"

Zhou Yin: "..."

Zhou Chen: "Don't go, dear, my husband told you that, look!"

From the storage space, he brought out a plate of roast duck as if by magic.

Zhou Yin: "..."

His Majesty the Demon Emperor was triumphant: "It took me a long time to find all the space in the storage ring, and the recipes in city b were basically searched by me. I can eat them every day when I go back, and I don't repeat them!"

Needless to say, one can imagine how big the demon emperor's storage space is, and such a huge space that can accommodate everything is actually filled by Zhou Chen with delicious food. He obviously pretended that the things in it would not deteriorate. Idea, I plan to pack it back and eat slowly.

Zhou Yin: "...don't tell others that you know me after you go back."

Zhou Chen: "Kiss, wait for me!"

The author has something to say: the final chapter of the Other World chapter is over, there should be another episode about Yun Zong, quack, let's talk about the conclusion tomorrow!
