Doomsday leader

Seeing someone approaching, the seven survivors' panic subsided slightly. One of them pointed in a direction in the darkness and whispered: "It seems to be over there."

Zhang Xujing stood two steps forward. He had already heard the strange noise coming from over there. Comparing the frequency of the insect demon's limbs walking, he could basically confirm that it was an insect demon.

He was about to open his vaginal eyes to observe, when he heard the noise suddenly became clear, and he could clearly feel that the insect demon at that location was approaching quickly!

Zhang Xujing recited the incantation and just picked up the talisman when he heard a scream and a one-meter-tall insect-like creature jumped out from the darkness.

The people around screamed, and saw Zhang Xujing's quick eyes and quick hands, stepping back and pressing the talisman in his hand quickly. The power of the talisman and the superposition of Qi caused the insect monster's head armor to crack without any resistance.

He kept pressing the talisman again, and the insect monster finally stopped moving. The cracked head was empty, and there was no crystal core like an evolved zombie.

Zhang Xujing was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something. He turned the insect demon over and stepped on its upper abdomen. He saw a red crystal flashing inside the broken upper abdomen. He was struck by his extremely fast hand.

Quickly copy it into your pocket.

A middle-aged man behind him was shocked and came closer in a few steps, "Junior brother, what did you just see? Is this a talisman?"

"Yes, evil-breaking talisman." Zhang Xujing said calmly.

"Breaking evil talisman, breaking evil, breaking...isn't this a talisman?" Kong Linghai suddenly reacted and his expression became exaggerated, "Junior brother, you..."

Zhang Xujing was not in the mood to discuss it. Just in case, he still opened his dark eyes to wait and see. The thin dark green gas was slightly blurred, and the evil spirit above the road seemed to be heading towards him.

It would be easier to deal with the insect monsters if they dispersed aimlessly, but if they gathered together, there would be hundreds of them. Even he could only run away with his sister on his back, and he might not be able to escape.

Zhang Xujing turned around and walked to the front of the team. Seeing his sister's frail body carrying a big bag, she said nothing. She sighed inwardly and asked Shen Dongling to return to the back for protection. He took the lead in speeding up the pace and continued to set off.

"Junior brother, junior brother, tell me about the talisman." Kong Linghai couldn't help but come forward.

"Let's talk in a safe place."

"Hey, okay."

The weeds under our feet were constantly swaying, the wind was blowing, blowing into the distance with a heavy breathing sound, the sky continued to appear oppressive black, and the endless mountains that could be seen at a glance only gave people a sense of suffocation.

"Brother Zhang, have you decided where to go?" Liang Anni swallowed her dry and sore throat and looked at the endless mountains ahead. They had been walking for four or five kilometers.

"Our current direction can go around to the highway and see if there are any cars that can be driven on the highway." Zhang Xujing said, calculating the distance in his mind. From here, we can just go around the place with the evil spirit, but there will not be any on this road.

Good to go.

"I wish I had a car." Liang Anni licked her chapped lips.

"Zhang, Brother Zhang, I can't walk anymore. Let's take a rest." Qian Nan's originally pretty face had lost its color. If Zhang Ning hadn't pulled her and Pei Yan helped her several times, she would have fallen behind.

Tang Bo was breathing heavily, and his slender legs seemed to be filled with lead. He huffed and puffed: "Brother Zhang Ning, what Qian Nan said is that we should rest, I'm almost exhausted."

Zhang Xujing looked at her sister who was also tired and couldn't bear it. This girl was very stubborn and would not let others help her no matter what.

Looking at other people, their physical fitness has actually reached its limit, but in this place.

Zhang Xujing opened his dark eyes and looked back. A faint evil aura lingered in the air. He didn't know if the insect demon was chasing other survivors, or if there were any scattered insect demons coming here.

He looked around. It was a barren mountain overgrown with weeds. The terrain was relatively flat. Except for a few huge rocks embedded in the mountain, there was not even a tree. If the insect monsters' sight was not affected at night, they would be easily discovered. It was not safe here.

.

Zhang Xujing felt a little helpless and was about to take Qian Nan's backpack when she saw Kong Linghai look at Qian Nan and then step forward and said: "Come on, girl, give the bag to Brother Kong."

Qian Nan looked at Zhang Xujing and then at Kong Linghai, who was smiling, but took off his backpack and said, "Thank you, Brother Kong."

"You're welcome." Kong Linghai said with a smile and took it.

The small team continued to set off, climbed over two mountains, climbed over a low cliff ravine, and a road with obviously different colors in the darkness appeared in front of them.

It is a road paved with loess.

There are roads, which means there are villages or towns. Where there are villages, there will be people, and if there are people, there will be zombies.

A dozen exhausted men and women walked on the loess road. The dirt they brought up stained their trouser legs and made it uncomfortable to get into their shoes. From time to time, you could see a few raised mounds of dirt and tombstones on the roadside. In the environment

It is very eerie under the background.

More than ten minutes later, the outline of a village appeared in everyone's sight. The black outline looked like a lifeless portrait.

When everyone arrived near the village, they were surrounded by endless silence except for the sound of wind. In the dark night, the loess road extended into the silent village, which looked so strange.

"Junior brother, are there any zombies here?"

"I don't know. It's not far from the highway. I'm going to take a break here tonight. Senior brother, let's go inside and take a look first."

"Shall I go with you?" Kong Linghai hesitated.

"You don't have to go." After Zhang Xujing said that, he stopped caring about Kong Linghai and said to Shen Dongling behind him, "You just stay here and watch."

"Okay." Shen Dongling nodded.

Seeing Zhang Xujing walking away alone, Kong Linghai sighed and followed him.

"Junior brother, now that the end of the world is approaching, why do you think of protecting these people? We don't talk about saving all sentient beings." Kong Linghai said while watching the movement of several zombies at the entrance of the village, "Have you ever heard of a saying that Bodhisattva in troubled times does not ask questions?

Laojun carries his sword to save the vicissitudes of life, don't you want to save the vicissitudes of life?"

Zhang Xujing shook his head and said: "In principle, I only protect You Ning and save the vicissitudes of life. We will talk about it later... But now you have also seen that you can't help yourself."

"That's right." Seeing Zhang Xujing take off the mahogany sword from his back, Kong Linghai was a little stunned and asked: "What are you doing? You don't want to use the mahogany sword to fight zombies, do you?"

"Otherwise." Zhang Xujing held up her sword and strode towards the entrance of the village.

Behind a few thick black poplar trees, a few zombies crawled out after hearing the noise. Unfortunately, they smelled the smell of human flesh and before they could get excited, they were stabbed to the core by a mahogany sword.

The already somewhat broken body became even more flabby under the wash of Yang Qi.

"It's the same as what I thought." Kong Linghai was a little confused. Although he had been away from the Taoist temple for many years, he had been a Taoist priest for twenty years, and he knew the principle of the conflict of yin and yang. It was just that he didn't understand it. It felt uncomfortable to think about it.

Very.

The two of them fought from the north to the south of the village. Just in case, every household was searched, and no less than a hundred zombies were killed along the way, all of which were villagers who had been here before.

"Junior brother, why don't you leave?" Kong Linghai looked at Zhang Xujing and stopped in front of a courtyard, not knowing what he was looking at.

"Senior brother, there is something strange here." Zhang Xujing's tone was strange.

"Weird, what's going on?" Kong Linghai came over after hearing this, but after looking at it for a long time, he didn't see why.

"Here." Zhang Xujing pointed to the courtyard door. The door was split in two. One half was thrown on the ground, and the other half was hung on the wall pillar. On the hanging half door, there were obvious signs as thick as ten fingers.

Hole.

Kong Linghai was still confused when he saw it and said, "Is there a problem?"

"There is a problem." Zhang Xujing's tone became a little serious, "These holes should have been poked by hand."

"Hands? How is that possible? This wooden door is three centimeters thick anyway. Wait, wait, junior brother, don't be joking." Kong Linghai seemed to have thought of something incredible, and his expression became very exaggerated.

"Go in and take a look." Zhang Xujing said, pushing open the door halfway and walking into the courtyard.

The dark courtyard is very simple, with a two-square-meter vegetable garden, a shed made of wood and grass, and the outer walls of the house are also made of earth blocks.

Zhang Xujing just glanced briefly and walked into the house. The door was open. As soon as he entered the house, he saw two corpses lying on the ground. They were both men. Their bodies were intact, but the clothes on their bodies were damaged and there were marks on their shoulders.

There were obvious scratches and his eyes were wide open.

Zhang Xujing leaned over and opened the head of the deceased, and saw two blood holes on his neck. The blood had dried and turned black. He sighed and said, "Sure enough, senior brother, you are right, it is a zombie."

Kong Linghai also went to check on another corpse. When he saw the same blood hole, he couldn't help but be in a trance. "Sure enough, this thing ran out of the deep mountains and old forests."

"This is the deep mountain." Zhang Xujing said, "They used to bury themselves deep in the Yin place, but now that the evil spirit has returned, they will naturally come out with it."

He heard from his master that zombies are neither monsters nor ghosts. Their bodies do not decay after being formed. Without the nourishment of evil energy, it will only affect their actions but not their survival. Although the Taoists killed many zombies during the Republic of China,

But some of them hid underground before the evil spirit dissipated.

For example, on the Internet, archaeological teams often dig out mummies, marvel at the longevity of their bodies, and put the mummies on display in museums. In fact, they are zombies, but they cannot move because they have no evil spirit to support them.

"Let's go, the zombies shouldn't be here, otherwise they would have jumped out if they smelled human scent." Zhang Xujing's expression returned to calmness.

Kong Linghai couldn't help but ask: "Junior brother, if you are really a zombie, can you beat me?"

"It's no problem for those after Daoguang's reign, but for those before Daoguang's reign..." Zhang Xujing muttered: "It's more important to run away."

Kong Linghai opened his mouth but said nothing.

On the other side, after hearing that they were going to rest, a dozen men and women did not insist anymore and sat down on the ground regardless of the dust. If there was a bed, they might just fall asleep. But soon, the sound of zombies roaring

After hearing the news, the spirits of a dozen or so people were slightly refreshed due to conditioned reflexes.

"Brother Zhang, will everything be fine?" Qian Nan looked at the dark village and said worriedly.

"There aren't many people in this place, so it shouldn't be a problem." Pei Yan half leaned on his backpack.

"My sister hasn't said anything yet, so you are worried first." Liang Anni joked.

Qian Nan lowered his head when he heard this and did not respond.

Liang Anni beat her sore and numb legs. Every time she took a breath, the pain caused by her respiratory tract made her frown, "Sister, I have never been so tired in my life."

"Fortunately, there were no bugs chasing us along the way." Pei Yan said. As a police officer, although her physical fitness was much better than that of ordinary people, this kind of trek beyond the limit also made her miserable.

On the other side, there were two or three people lying on the ground, staring blankly at the sky, and some were staring at the backpacks on Zhang Ning's and the others' backs.

"Zhang Ning, is there food in your bag? Is there any water?" Tang Bo collapsed on the ground and crawled over with his hands on the ground.

Zhang Ning raised her heavy eyelids and said weakly: "I didn't bring any water."

"Well, then there is something to eat." Tang Bo's eyes were glowing green. He was so hungry that he was almost fainting after trekking until now.

"Don't move." Zhang Ning turned around hard, preventing Tang Bo from touching the backpack.

"Tang Bo, you'd better get out of here." Liang Anni raised her eyebrows, "Stay away from You Ning."

"I, I'm so hungry." Tang Bo shouted to Liang Anni, "Then, give me your bag."

"Tang Bo, at least wait for Brother Zhang to come over." Qian Nan reminded, others were still fighting zombies in front, it would be unreasonable for them to eat it directly here.
