Bright!

Corrupt plant roots, like thoughtful spiritual snakes, are spread all over the land outside Lighthouse City, entwining themselves with the strange black tides that pounce on Lighthouse City.

And the initial target of those weird things in the dark tide was indeed Lighthouse City.

But after being obstructed by the corrupted rhizome, the weirdos began to hesitate.

They seemed to have discovered something new, something that attracted them.

Is it the Tree of Corruption itself?

Or maybe it's something deeper...

Some of these strange black tides are still charging towards the lighthouse, but some are staying in place and starting to tear up these rotten roots, trying to find the object that attracts them.

And those weird things that go straight to the lighthouse will continue to be hindered by the corrupt roots, creating a chaotic fighting situation between the two sides.

Even those ghost species used their ancient sound energy to transform into entities and began to bite and scratch at the corrupt roots in front of them.

The corrupted rhizome is alive, and after being attacked, it will fight back, piercing into the weird body and absorbing the soul and nutrients inside.

Nutrients are transferred to the roots, allowing the rotting tree to continue growing.

The soul is transmitted to the crown of the rotting tree through the roots and trunk, providing energy for the soul torch.

The fight of flesh and blood is vividly reflected here.

While Zion was using artillery fire and energy to destroy the Black Tide army, a bloody battle was going on outside the lighthouse.

The fight lasted until early morning, when the red moon retreated.

…

In the lighthouse city.

A somewhat guilty militia leader came to Zhou Bi. His expression was submissive and he hesitated to speak.

He was also pushed here because there were some issues that needed to be negotiated with Zhou Bi.

To be honest, he wasn't very good at making this kind of negotiation, because Zhou Bi was already a master in his eyes.

Talking to the master will probably get you into trouble.

This is the life experience of veteran migrant workers.

Rather than having such a political conversation, he prefers to take the lead on the construction site, have a full meal, and a few meat meals every month, that would be the best.

"Congressman Zhoubi..."

Zhou Bi glanced at the old migrant worker and saw that the black tide had not come and the whole lighthouse was strange, so he was troubled.

"What are you doing? Tell me if you have something to say."

"A few brothers asked me to come over and ask you something..." The old migrant worker stopped again.

Zhou Bi was a little impatient.

"Can you finish what you have to say at once? Why are you hesitating here? Are you bothered?"

"No, boss, I'm just here to ask, if nothing weird happened last night, will the salary be paid?"

Hearing the humble words of the old migrant worker, Zhou Bi felt a little uncomfortable.

He has said similar words before.

After all, he grew up in the lower city when he was a child, and it was the worst area, the lawless zone.

The demands of these downtown people are really very low. They just want to get what they deserve.

But even for such a simple request, you have to be obedient and say it to yourself carefully.

When did I become as arrogant as those uptown gentlemen?

"I'm sorry, fellow, I just spoke harshly. Now go back and tell your brothers that the money will be paid as much as it should be, and there won't be a penny less.

Let the villagers stand guard. From now on, you will all be citizens of the lighthouse. "

"Well, on behalf of everyone, I would like to thank Councilor Zhou Bi!"

Seeing the simple smile of the old migrant worker, Zhou Bi also smiled.

"Thank you for what? It's me who should thank you."

It was already dark, and the red moon in the sky had completely dissipated.

Zhou Bi found Jin Mingzhu, who was in charge of the military force:

"Now that the black tide has dissipated, I want to take a look outside to see what happened this time."

"Well, I have the same idea. I always feel that this black tide is not that simple."

As for going out to explore, Jin Mingzhu proposed it last night.

But what Zhou Bi meant at that time was to wait for the Kuroshio to pass.

Now that it's bright, it's definitely time to go out and explore. It's time to go out and see.

"Okay, I will immediately order the elite night watchmen to follow us out. Do you want to go too?"

"Yes, but we still have to keep a part of the military force. The people of Lighthouse are currently unstable. Even if we survive this dark wave, we still have to hold on to the most basic security forces.

For those who stay, you need to find some reliable people. "

"I know that the people who stay must be my confidants."

Jin Mingzhu was making various preparations. About 30 minutes later, a team had already assembled outside the city.

They took the new chariot provided by Zion. When they arrived about 2 kilometers outside the city, Jin Mingzhu felt an ominous atmosphere.

"It tastes good."

"Taste?" Zhou Bi didn't understand.

"Congressman Zhou Bi, Lord Jin Mingzhu means that there is a strong smell of blood in the air." A night watchman replied.

As armed forces, they are very sensitive to the smell of blood.

Especially the weird blood energy. As night watchmen, they can detect it from a long distance. After all, there are warlocks and warriors in the night watch team.

"Is it the weird smell of blood?"

"There should be a battle happening further away. Judging from this scale and the current environment, it should be a huge battle."

Jin Mingzhu looked solemn. Lighthouse was very weak now. Could someone be helping them?

Seeing Zhou Bi didn't speak, Jin Mingzhu asked.

"Xu Le promised to help us before. Is it possible that he will help us this time?"

"Xu Le? That guy hasn't come yet. He's unreliable. He's unreliable."

Although the relationship between Zhou Bi and Xu Le was quite good, Xu Le's absence from such a life-and-death matter was enough for Zhou Bi to give Xu Le a bad review.

But in today's lighthouse, it is normal for Xu Le not to come, but it is a very strange situation for him to come.

"Let's go. You should be able to see the specific situation when you get to the front."

"good."

The car unknowingly sped up a bit.

Even the night watchmen became curious about the situation outside.

As the car advanced, Jin Mingzhu's pupils, which had the strongest eyesight, suddenly shrank.

"Front."

"What?"

Not far from the team, a huge corpse was lying on the ground. Its skin was shriveled, and there was a large gaping hole at the top of its head, as if it had been pierced by something sharp.

Although the body had become mummified and decayed, there were still some blood stains on the ground.

And there was still fresh blood.

This means that the battle was not that long ago at all, and it might even have happened just now.

"Is this...the giant's body?"

"I know."

As congressmen, Jin Mingzhu and Zhou Bi have certainly seen the giant. Even if they have not seen it with their own eyes, they have seen photos.

This is a terrible impact type of strange black tide. The last black tide caused huge losses to the lighthouse.

Many areas in Xiacheng District have suffered this weird impact.

Their hard skin and strong vitality allow the giants to attack the city unscrupulously.

Only cities like Zion equipped with super-powerful energy weapons may be able to truly resist and eliminate the threat of giants.

"How did it die?"

"Who knows? Let's go and have a look."

Zhou Bi took courage and gradually approached the giant's body. As they got closer, the entire night watchman team realized that something was wrong.

The corpse here is not just a giant, but also many other kinds of weird things.

Pieces of weird things died here, and they piled up into mountains and seas, becoming a sea of ​​corpses.

The smell of blood and death here is ten times stronger than before.

"Ugh!~"

Zhou Bi finally couldn't hold it back and started to retching.

He is not the kind of person who has never seen dead people. As a member of parliament, and a member of the Lower City District, it is normal for his hands to have some blood on his hands.

Otherwise, it will be impossible to convince the public when doing things.

But even so, he couldn't help it.

The picture in front of me was really impactful. Pieces of weird corpses were piled up everywhere, just like the waste meat in a slaughterhouse.

But the problem is...the piglets and lambs in the slaughterhouse are not as huge as the weird ones in front of them.

"It's really, really outrageous."

Jin Mingzhu supported Zhou Bi, and the group continued walking towards the depths of the corpse.

Suddenly, a thin sound came from another giant's corpse. The sound was not too quiet, and many people in the team heard it.

This also includes Zhou Bi whose ears are not very sensitive.

"You...did you hear any strange noise just now? It was from this corpse, I..."

"I heard it." Jin Mingzhu confirmed.

"Oh, that's okay. It seems like it's not my imagination."

"It's definitely not an illusion."

After Jin Mingzhu said this, Zhou Bi's expression changed again. Is there nothing in the body?

"Wait, there's something dirty!"

"There are no dirty things in this world. Don't be superstitious. There are just ghosts and some special weirdness. Don't scare yourself."

"knew."

After some criticism and education, Jin Mingzhu stood in front of the giant's corpse and drew out his sword.

While holding the knife, her aura suddenly changed.

A warrior aura that was far more powerful than Alley erupted from Jin Mingzhu's body.

The torrent of souls transformed from the energy of the golden tree gathered at her wrist.

"Come out." Jin Mingzhu warned.

But the voice in the corpse didn't respond. I don't know whether it was because I couldn't understand it or because I couldn't hear it.

Clang!

Jin Mingzhu suddenly drew his sword, and a strong slash of sword energy erupted instantly.

This kind of move that Bai Jing needs to sacrifice his life and Ai Li and Wang Shu need to use evil spirit to complete, Jin Mingzhu can actually use it directly with the power of his own body.

The giant's body was cut in two by the sharp sword energy.

In the shadow of the corpse's abdominal cavity, something covered with barbs and like a tentacle was moving through it.

Jin Mingzhu was shocked, but the sword in his hand did not slow down at all, and struck again.

Clang!

The tentacle-like thing was cut off by her on the spot.

It stayed in the giant's abdominal cavity and was still twisting.

Jin Mingzhu frowned slightly and said to the subordinate beside him:

"Go over and have a look."

"yes."

Jin Mingzhu is not a good man or woman. Like Zhou Bi, if they were a "kind" person, they would have been eaten away and no bones would be left.

The more times like this come, the more careful they have to be.

Because the entire hope of the lighthouse's rebirth rests on her and Zhou Bi.

Can't take risks.

The night watchman turned on the light and walked carefully towards the corpse. Then he used the hook lock in the night watchman's equipment and flicked it out, and then hooked out the tentacles.

Appearing under the light, this tentacle revealed its original appearance.

It's not red.

It's blue, gray, red, and some residual gold.

Most of the red on it is weird blood stains.

And this thing is not a tentacle.

It looks more like a plant rhizome.

The barbs on it are just normal plant barbs.

"So... this is a normal plant?" Zhou Bi asked.

"It seems so, sir." The night watchman nodded, but he also felt that this answer might not be satisfactory.

Jin Mingzhu picked out the rotten branch with a knife.

After being cut off, it immediately lost its vitality, as if it had been abandoned.

"Have you cut off contact..."

Jin Mingzhu suddenly took action, cut the giant's broken body into two pieces with one knife, and then sheathed the knife.

"Tug the giant's body away with a car and see what's underneath."

"yes."

With the help of a team, such a task would always be carried out quickly. After the giant's body was dragged away, everyone finally saw clearly what was happening below.

Holes, there are many holes under the body.

There are large and small caves, and the thickest caves can even reach more than 2 meters in diameter.

This caliber exactly matches the hole in the giant's head.

"Xu Le said before that he would come to help us..." Jin Mingzhu said suddenly.

"Let's discuss this issue later." Zhou Bi interrupted the topic directly.

Jin Mingzhu understood it, and then stopped mentioning it.

Next, they began to search for some weird materials that could be used, but they couldn't get much.

Then the idea of ​​burning the corpses was abandoned. There were too many of these weird corpses, and it would be too risky to burn them.

And they don't know yet whether these corpses have any other uses...

The dark tide has passed, and there are some things that really should be confirmed with Xu Le.

"When I go back, I will go to Zion myself."

Sitting in the car returning, Zhou Bi said seriously.

"Have you decided yet?" Jin Mingzhu also understood Zhou Bi's thoughts.

"Yes, it's confirmed, but before I go, can I make a small request to you?" Zhou Bi looked at the newly born sun on the horizon, looking a little desolate.

Jin Mingzhu felt a little emotional, nodded and said:

"Say it, I promise you."

"Can I have sex with you before I leave? This is what I dream of!"

A few seconds later...

Bang!~ Zhou Bi fell off the car.

…

When they returned to the lighthouse, the two were going to go back to the office to deal with this morning's affairs.

Then make plans to go to Zion.

But as soon as he came back, Jin Mingzhu's body suddenly tensed up, blocking Zhou Bi behind him.

"Be careful, someone is coming."

"Congressman Kim Myung-joo's perceptive ability is very good."

With a fluctuation in the space, the space door of darkness mixed with soul flames was opened, and Xu Le slowly walked out.
