40,000 Years of Cultivation

The two carried large bags of toxic plastic items that were burned and carried them to open places on the street outside, pretending to be burned in the open, but they took the opportunity to expand their perception to the limit and scan for suspicious signs in all directions.

The white mist is still lingering in countless threads, except for the sound of drizzle "rusting", there is no sound, the sound of the "stomping" of the boots and the roar of the spar chariot's tracks crushing everything, all gradually The line drifts away.

The two looked at each other, made up their minds, and took off the gas masks at the same time.

They tiptoedly walked under a broken wall on the corner of the street, carefully removed the collapsed concrete slab, revealing the wreckage of a squeezed and deformed shuttle car.

Thangka curled his fingers and tapped three times on the bumpy shell of the shuttle car: "Tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk."

Then he clenched his fists and hammered twice: "Boom!"

There was a long silence in the wreckage of the shuttle car, and then there was a "squeak", and the back cover slowly opened, revealing two small and haggard heads, and a series of "cough" sounds.

"Xiao Tiantian seems to have a fever."

Zhou Xiuyun hugged her daughter tightly in her arms, as if she was going to keep her arms warm in her heart. She hesitated and said, "It's still raining outside, what should I do?"

Thangka put his hand on Xiao Tiantian's forehead and cried, "It's hot!"

Looking at Xiao Tiantian's appearance again, his brows furrowed, his eyes closed, his cheeks flushed, and he lost the laughter of yesterday.

"If you don't do anything, take fever-reducing medicine if you have a fever. We must go!"

Chu Zhiyun said coldly, "No one will take you out today, and you won't be able to leave tomorrow!"

"what?"

Zhou Xiuyun was shocked and wept with joy, "You two are going with us? This, this is really great, great!"

"Stop talking nonsense and go!"

Chu Zhiyun found a large piece of rainproof felt, wrapped Xiao Tiantian, and together with Thangka, carried out the large package hidden in the wreckage of the shuttle car.

Now that they took this step, they couldn't look back anymore. The two looked back at the direction of the camp deeply, and without looking back, they embarked on the road of escape with Zhou Xiuyun and Xiao Tiantian.

"Here, the map shows this way!"

The "compass" loaded with a three-dimensional map is held by Thangka. He leads the way at the forefront. Zhou Xiuyun walks in the middle with Xiao Tiantian in his arms. Chu Zhiyun holds two arrow-burst guns behind him-in colonization. Weapons are not uncommon on the front line. Even in civilian towns like Xinle City, there are many magic weapons shops. When the citizens fled, they also lost a lot of offensive magic weapons on the streets and corners, but Chu Zhiyun collected a lot of them. Knives, guns and swords, barely used to strengthen courage.

They gradually walked into the depths of the city. The surroundings were silent and seemingly empty, but it seemed that there were countless beasts with eyes all over them, holding their breath, behind the fog, looking at them without blinking.

"Out of this downtown area, the northern suburbs of Xinle City should be right in front of me. As far as I know, it is an agricultural area, so no purification mission has been arranged."

Chu Zhiyun whispered, "Persevere there, it should be safer."

"Have you heard, Xiao Tiantian?"

Zhou Xiuyun whispered to the daughter in her arms, "It's safe soon, right now."

There was a smile at the corner of her mouth.

But Thangka suddenly stopped, raised his wrist high, and walked around like a ghost hitting a wall.

"what happened?"

Chu Zhiyun said in amazement, "Why didn't you leave?"

"I'm lost."

Thangka muttered, "I can't find a way to get out."

"impossible!"

Chu Zhiyun hadn't spoken yet, Zhou Xiuyun was anxious, "The route is clearly drawn on the map, and there is a navigation mode. Just follow the arrow on the navigation and go straight!"

"I know, but the map is stuck, it's dead, you see—"

Thangka shook the "compass" in his hand, and the arrow on it was indeed like a stiff dead fish. "Probably there are too many high-rise buildings nearby. Today it is rainy and heavy with fog, blocking the signal, right? , I’ll find a slightly opener or higher place and search for the signal..."

Tangka walked east, turned west, struggling to climb up a high wall and ruins, searching for something innocently.

Chu Zhiyun and Zhou Xiuyun had no choice but to follow him, praying silently in their hearts not to be hit by anyone at this time.

Their luck seemed to be really good. They had no dangers along the way. They neither ran into classmates, nor did they encounter the soldiers of the purification unit on patrol missions.

But the good luck seems to be completely exhausted at this moment, because when Thangka uses both hands and feet to climb a high wall that is not too high, even when Chu Zhiyun and Zhou Xiuyun also climbed up, they couldn’t get under their feet. Suddenly there was a loud and deafening noise in the distance, not only did the entire wall collapse, but even the ground was blasted out of a big hole.

It's a landmine or a roadside bomb!

When evacuating valuable areas, planting a large number of landmines and roadside bombs is a very common tactic in long wars of attrition.

Speaking of it, this trick was even the first of the holy ally. In the "imperial counterattack" in the past two decades, although the holy ally was defeated, they used the "scorched earth strategy" to transform most of the world. To make a piece of deadly mud, the most powerful weapons are mines and roadside bombs.

The seemingly simple and inconspicuous low-level magic weapon has caused headaches for countless powerful people, let alone the trembling ordinary soldiers.

The large-scale landmines and roadside bombs spread by the Holy Alliance brought endless troubles and deep impressions to the empires, and they didn’t get indecent. Now it’s the Empire’s turn to retreat. Naturally, they have to leave a few small pieces for the Holy Alliance. Little "gift".

It is estimated that Thangka was inattentive just now, involving the tripwire of the roadside bomb, which caused a big explosion.

Maybe it was a coincidence, or maybe the person who dropped the bomb deliberately did it. Below this piece of ruins, there was a meeting point for several sewer pipes. Except for the hardened pavement a few meters thick, the underground was actually hollow!

The ground collapsed, and there was nothing under their feet, like falling off a cliff, falling into the sewer pipe together.

It rained all night, and a large amount of rainwater had collected in the sewer pipe, almost not reaching the top of the pipe.

The war must have broken pipelines in some places and blocked some key lines, so that where there were no blocks, the water flow became more turbulent and turbulent.

"Puff!"

The four people fell into the cold and dirty rain water, like falling from a waterfall into a deep pool. They only felt that the sky was spinning, and they couldn’t tell the direction. Great suction came from all around and under their feet, like an invisible monster, pulling Hold their feet and drag them to the bottom of the water abruptly.

"Thangka, Zhou Xiuyun, Xiao Tiantian!"

Chu Zhiyun thought she was the strongest among the four-how many catties Thangka had. She knew very well that Zhou Xiuyun was a civilian without the power of a chicken, not to mention Xiao Tiantian.

According to her original cold and ruthless character, she can only call two thangkas at most, and she doesn't care about the life and death of Zhou Xiuyun and Xiao Tiantian at all.

After all, everyone is just one-sided stranger.

But somehow, the scene of playing with Xiao Tiantian in the "Children's Paradise" yesterday appeared again, and Xiao Tian's silver bell-like laughter appeared in her ear again, and her brows were frowned and her face was full of pain. .

No matter how hard Chu Zhiyun shakes his head, there is no way to shake this sound out of his brain.

"Is this the demon?"

The big girl thought wildly, "Is this a demon, **** it, **** it!"

She cursed wildly while kicking her legs hard, trying to find where Xiao Tiantian was.

It's a pity that the water flow here is too rapid and chaotic-a total of seven or eight sewer pipes in all directions converge here, and seven or eight streams of water generate seven or eight huge vortices that interfere with each other and increase each other, floating in the sewage of fallen leaves and garbage. Visibility was extremely low. She was up and down in the water, her eyes were so painful that she could hardly open her eyes, and she was so grey when she looked out.

And the voice she made echoed on the black pipe wall, and bounced back, wondering if it could be heard by Thanka and the others.

I don’t know if it’s auditory hallucinations, she heard the cry of the little girl, and she was trying to swim past, but at this moment, a cold and biting sensation suddenly came from her ankle, as if she was being grabbed by something. She pulled it to the bottom!

"Grumbling!"

Chu Zhiyun drank a few sips of sewage, feeling that he was suffocating.

When she came up again, the light disappeared and she was rushed into the depths of a certain sewer pipe.

The current was too rushing and strong, like an invisible sledge hammer hammering her chest, she felt that her breastbone was about to be completely shattered.

"How can the sewer flow be so strong?"

Chu Zhiyun couldn't believe it, "This, it doesn't make sense at all!"

Regardless of whether there was reason or not, she was blasted almost unconsciously, and she could only follow the current, letting the current take her to nowhere.

The strength flowed out drop by drop along the limbs and ten fingers, and her consciousness gradually blurred. After an unknown period of time, she gradually sank to the bottom of a swamp.

"Could it be...is this the punishment of the gods?"

Chu Zhiyun thought this way in his last consciousness, "I was wrong. I was tempted by the demon and turned away from the way of the gods, so I lost the favor of the gods, so that I would die in the depths of the black sewage so inexplicably? "

at this time--

She suddenly felt that she had a pair of strong and powerful arms that held her tightly in her arms, leading her to escape from the dark abyss, and from the shadow of death, pulling her from the wet and foul sewage to the shore. !

"Crack!"

The owner of these arms broke a light stick and waved it vigorously to drive away the darkness with light.

And his figure was also shrouded in light, like angels of the gods descending from the sky.

Chu Zhiyun watched intently, and when his pupils gradually adjusted to the radiance of the opponent's body, he found that the person who saved her turned out to be Thangka!

The youth's face was unspeakable calmness and perseverance, and he was still holding a familiar piece of felt in his arms. The felt arched and arched like a cat, it was Xiao Tiantian!

"Wow……"

Chu Zhiyun felt that he suddenly softened, and he couldn't help but let out a cry.
