Ye An

There was no sign of life in the hall, the broken window sash hung on the wall, the cold wind rolled in the snow, covered the lying corpse, and froze into a silver-white ice shell.

The long table in the room was broken, the wooden chair fell down, the candlesticks on the table and the dome were artificially damaged, and the candles that should have been fixed on the candlesticks disappeared.A large amount of blood was splattered on the wall and the ground, and the solidified dark red was cut off at a certain place, and the cut was too neat. It was obvious that animal skins had been laid before and were all swept away by people, leaving such strange traces.

At the end of the hall lay the corpse of an old man, face down, with a broken head, unnaturally bent limbs, and iron arrows pierced into his body.Like the dead guard, the old man was also frozen in ice and snow.

Xiao Yun stepped forward, and the soles of his shoes crushed the scattered ice particles and snow slag, making a creaking sound.

Stopping in front of the old man, Xiao Yun casually picked up a broken wooden pole, turned the old man over, and saw his distorted facial features clearly.

Due to the cold weather, the body showed no signs of corruption, and the old man's expressions and movements were frozen at the last moment of his life.

"Ronald."

Recognizing the old man's identity, Xiao Yun threw away the wooden pole and stepped up to the second floor.

The stairs were covered with dark colors, and several corpses were hanging on the handrails, including both city residents and guards.Judging from the condition of the corpses, it is difficult to determine the exact time of their death. However, there are blood-stained packages in the arms and feet of the city residents, and the knife on their bodies is also pierced from the back. It is not difficult to know what happened before they died. imagine.

After crossing five or six corpses, Xiao Yun speeded up and came to a long and narrow corridor.

On one side of the corridor is a suspended handrail, and on the other side are more than ten wooden doors arranged side by side.Most of the wooden doors have been opened, and the door leaves and door frames have been damaged to varying degrees. There are large dark spots all over the ground, as well as broken weapons, scattered metal bottles, wooden boxes, and broken animal skins.

Xiao Yun walked forward along the corridor, and every time he passed through an open wooden door, he could see that the room was very messy, some were lying dead bodies like in the hall, some were emptied, the walls and floors were damaged, even Windows were smashed.

The cold wind poured in along the broken window, whistling and circling in the corridors, hitting each other, making strange and piercing sounds, like the roar of a demon.

Xiao Yun quickly crossed several rooms, stopped in front of a closed door, tried to turn the handle on the door, but found that the door was locked from inside, immediately stepped back half a step, drew out the long knife behind his back, and slanted Swipe down hard, and clear scratches immediately appeared on the thick wooden door.

Xiao Yun withdrew his long saber, pushed lightly with his hand, and the broken wooden door fell inward.

With a blunt sound, the situation in the room appeared before his eyes.

Overturned tables and chairs, scattered bones, and a wooden beam fell from the sky, pressing down on the body of the dead.Due to the angle, the appearance of the corpse could not be seen clearly. It could only be judged from the clothes and weapons that the people in the room were not ordinary citizens.

After confirming that there was nothing in this room that he was looking for, Xiao Yun didn't intend to waste time and continued to search forward.

At the end of the corridor, behind the hanging hides, is a hidden secret door.

The secret door was ajar, shaking slightly in the dark, creaking.

Xiao Yun quickly walked forward, tore off the remaining animal skin, pressed the shaking wooden door, and found a slanting corridor behind the door, which was dark and deep, and he didn't know where it led.

"Boss?"

Jason's voice came from the first floor, Xiao Yun withdrew his long legs that were about to step forward, turned around and returned to the suspended escalator, and looked at Jason and others who walked into the hall.

"what's up?"

"Zhao Weng found the underground grain depot." Jason said loudly.

"A lot of things?"

"Yes, millet alone is enough to feed the whole city for two or three years." Jason said excitedly, "There are also wheat, salt, seasoning and dried meat. These guys have hidden a lot of dried fish. There are too many things. There are not enough clothes, and there are not enough manpower."

Xiao Yun pondered for a moment, then said: "There is a forest outside the city, bring people to cut wood, make sleds and trailers. If there is not enough time, just spend the night outside the city, and let everyone be careful."

"Yes!"

Jason conveyed Xiao Yun's order, and the hunters acted immediately.In the process of logging, they not only have to beware of mutant beasts, but also Qiancheng people who fled into the snowfield.

Zhao Weng also sent his men to cut wood and make sleds.

Xiao Yun did not go out of the city with everyone, but continued to explore the City Lord's Mansion and walked into the dark wooden door.

The corridor behind the door is extremely long. It was relatively flat at first, but it sloped down abruptly in the middle, as if hanging in mid-air, leading directly to the ground.In order to save time, Xiao Yun gave up climbing the stairs, formed an ice bridge along the slope, and quickly slid down from the bridge.

The ice bridge continued to extend until at some point it touched the ground.

Xiao Yun jumped off the bridge and landed firmly on the ground.

There is neither soil nor slate under his feet, but a large piece of cold metal.There was another corridor in front of it. There were no wooden doors on both sides, but metal fences. Behind the fence was a hollowed-out rock wall. There were bones of various mutant beasts scattered in it, as well as human bones. The smell was extremely unpleasant.

At the end of the corridor is an iron door carved with strange patterns.

Seeing the pattern on the door, Xiao Yun's eyes sharpened suddenly, and he quickly stepped forward, pushed open the iron door, and walked into the room behind the door.

There is a fireplace in the room, animal skins are hung on the floor and walls, two wooden chairs are placed by the fire, animal skins are piled under the chairs, and a wooden plate is placed on the animal skins. Some were stinky and obviously the meat had spoiled.

There were two old people sitting on the chairs, one was dead, the body was dry and decayed, emitting an unpleasant smell, the other had a broken right leg and hadn't washed it for an unknown amount of time, and his hair was tangled on top of his head, like a ball of hay.His face was dry, and lice crawled through the strands of hair, crawling all over the old man's body, trying to suck the last drop of blood from him.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the old man slowly turned his head. Because he was unable to move for a long time and had no medical treatment, his wound had rotted and was covered with maggots.

"You are here." Recognizing who it was, the old man let out a strange smile, his sunken eye sockets looked like two black holes, his mouth was grinning, and there were still black pieces of meat between his teeth.

"Grey." Xiao Yun recognized the identity of the old man, and looked at the dead Afri, only to find that there were many strange wounds on the body, as if someone had been cut open after death, and the whole piece of flesh and blood was taken away.

As if he couldn't see Xiao Yun's expression, Gray tore at the barbecue with great mouthfuls, chewing it until it creaked.

"You are here, Qiancheng is gone, everyone is dead, dead!" Gray looked like he was insane, his eyes were fixed on Xiao Yun, the corners of his mouth widened, his appearance was very strange.

"I have something to ask you." Xiao Yun drew out the long knife and pressed it against Gray's forehead.

Gray let out a strange laugh, he didn't care about the blade that was close at hand, and continued to tear the barbecue, and said vaguely: "You want to ask about the past?"

"Yes."

"I can tell you." Gray continued to smile strangely, with madness and malice flashing in his eyes.

"Oh?"

"If you want me to say something, just kneel down and beg me." Gray finished eating the last piece of barbecue, with meat dregs hanging from his mouth, and kept grinding his back molars, "Kneel down and beg me, kneel down like a dog and beg me, I I'll tell you! Everyone who knows about this matter is almost dead, I may be the last one, want to know the truth? Please, please!"

Gray laughed wildly, Xiao Yun's eyes were cold, and the next moment he swung a knife suddenly, cutting off one of Gray's arms shoulder-to-shoulder.

"what!"

Gray let out a scream and covered the wound with his hand. He didn't want his hand to fly farther and farther before his eyes as soon as he raised it, and finally landed on the ground and rolled to Xiao Yun's feet. He was trampled by the black sole, and his bones were crushed in front of him. broken.

In the blink of an eye, Gray lost both arms, and blood gushed from the wound, attracting lice that were crawling all over his body.

Ironically, the lice managed to prevent more blood from splattering from the wound while devouring the blood, delaying his death.

In severe pain, Gray fell off the wooden chair and rolled painfully on the ground until he rolled to Xiao Yun's feet.

The hard soles of the boots stepped on Gray's head, Xiao Yun leaned forward, supported his knees with one arm, looked down at Gray who was crying in pain, and said coldly: "Say."

Gray wailed blindly, ignoring Xiao Yun at all.

Xiao Yun didn't waste his words, turned the blade, and cut down along the wound on Gray's shoulder, causing him extreme pain, but he couldn't die immediately.

"Say."

Xiao Yun would repeat this word every time he slashed the knife.

When Gray couldn't hold on anymore, he would take out the wound medicine, sprinkle it on Gray's body at will, and pour it into his mouth, so that he would always have a breath, and he couldn't die even if he wanted to.

Finally, when the long knife was cut again, Gray collapsed.

"Kill me, kill me!"

Even if he devoured the flesh and blood of the dead, he persisted in surviving, but under such torture, he really felt worse than death, and his only thought was to end his life as soon as possible, so as not to endure such torment anymore.

"Are you willing to say it?" Xiao Yun's blade was hanging in front of Gray's eyes, less than half an inch away from his eyeballs.

"Say, I said, kill me, kill me!" Gray kept wailing, and finally turned into a beast-like howl, "Many cities participated in the incident back then, and there were settlements! Sea beasts were attracted , All the ships going out to sea sank on the bottom of the sea, some people know the place, some people know! Someone gave medicine to the city lord and everyone on the ship! The tsunami was caused by people, but I didn’t expect it to be so big, so big..."

Gray spoke incoherently, and when he mentioned what happened in Haicheng that year, he was a little confused.

"The tsunami caused by the lord of the Black City, he died later, the owner of the Black City changed, and all his relatives were killed. I didn't expect there to be blood. Ronald is always lucky..."

Gray continued to talk, away from Haicheng, and began to talk about the changes in Heicheng 30 years ago.

"We wanted to go to Heicheng, but it didn't work. We had to come to Qiancheng. Waste, it's all waste!"

The fire in the fireplace kept dancing, illuminating the dimly lit room.

The shadows of Xiao Yun and Gray fell on the wall, swaying and elongating with the beating of the flames.

Outside the city lord's mansion, the hunters brought back a large amount of wood and were working with the caravan to make the sled.

Suddenly, a member of the caravan exclaimed, pointed in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, and said in horror: "Look!"

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and saw ice thorns rising from the ground one after another, rising continuously, like giant swords piercing the ground, piercing through and surrounding the City Lord's Mansion.Accompanied by a roar, a huge icicle rose from under the city lord's mansion, shattering the entire building and appearing in front of everyone.

Xiao Yun stood on the top of the icicle, his black clothes and black hair danced wildly in the wind, his eyes pierced through the snow curtain, his whole body was cold, surpassing the biting cold wind.
