Infinite Sims
Chapter 231 Countdown to Death
The fighting lasted all night.
When the first ray of light falls during the day, the last trace of sound finally disappears.
The residents of Syracuse, who had suffered from insomnia all night, opened their doors, only to see corpses in the streets and alleys, even if the snowflakes kept falling could not cover up the blood.
Except for a small number of ordinary barbarians among the corpses.
Most were barbarians and minions in uniform.
In the impression of the people of Syracuse City, there was no corpse of an extremely powerful opponent, but it seemed that the fight that lasted all night was nothing more than a ridiculous infighting.
Not long after, the servant army pouring in from outside the city began to clean up and count the dead.
Facing the mess everywhere and the majesty of Zhengluqi, no one dared to ask questions without interest, and few dared to discuss what happened.
City Lord's Mansion.
Teams of soldiers shuttled among them.
"Report to the General!"
A soldier knelt in front of Duo Chi'er and said, "The corpses in the mansion and the city have been counted, and there is no trace of Ms. Huang, and no corpse matching Ms. Huang's characteristics."
Duo Chi'er's eyes were cold: "So, a big living person disappeared?"
The soldier's voice gradually became weaker: "Subordinates...subordinates don't know."
is dead? Or hid?
Duo Chi'er ignored the soldiers in front of him, and scanned his surroundings with hidden angry eyes.
Every corpse and every building burned by the flames seemed to be telling me the embarrassment and powerlessness of the night.
A city with a population of just over 100,000 "swallowed" nearly 30,000 soldiers.
And when he sent troops to surround the entrance and exit of the city, the plan was disrupted by the corpses that rushed out later. If the day hadn't come in time, the lost troops would have at least doubled.
"The ability to bring the dead back to life is definitely beyond human ability, and..."
Duo Chi'er looked at the door panels of the main gate of the city lord's mansion that had been dismantled behind him. The door on the right had "Killer" written on it, and the door on the left had "200,000 dead souls in Yecheng".
"Murderers, 200,000 dead souls in Yecheng."
"Could it be that they are really the ghosts of the dead? Now they are looking for revenge on me?"
Duo Chi'er murmured softly, and a stern look flashed across his calm face: "If that's the case, then if I can kill you once, I can kill you again!"
In the vast snow.
A long river divides the land, and the water in the river is surging, even the narrowest part is several miles wide, and it cannot be crossed by small boats.
On the river bank, a carriage pulled by two horses moved forward quickly.
This carriage is much larger than ordinary carriages.
Sitting inside were Huang Lanxi, Wan Jinghao who had only recovered his body during the day, the little guy Shenger Wansheng, and his nanny and the nanny's child who was taking care of him.
Sitting outside the car was the nanny's husband, a strong man with dark skin.
As for Jiang Ren, he is somewhat independent.
Wearing a mysterious man's two-piece suit, he sat on the roof of the carriage and let the cold wind blow his body.
"It's wonderful to meet again."
Jiang Ren shook his head with a smile when he heard the soft words from below.
Although Wan Jinghao kept saying that he was a dead person, he could not meet and communicate with Huang Lanxi, so as not to delay and hurt her.
But when it came time to face it, he still couldn't control himself.
"Next, send Huang Lanxi and the little guy Wan Sheng to the other side of the river, and then you can do your own thing."
Jiang Ren looked at the rushing river beside him, feeling calm.
As long as you find a place where the current is gentle, and then take out a small boat you have drawn, you can cross the river to the other side.
After that, you don't have to worry about the pawns that may appear behind you at any time.
Then, with a little more time, send number two to her father.
Nothing to do.
Jiang Ren calmed down, and his mind sank into the ghost vine.
Different from the active life energy in the living body and the dead energy in the dead body, you can only feel the cold, gloomy, and hopeless negative energy in it.
Huge, deep, boundless, almost invisible.
"Speaking of which, is my body a species of this world?"
Jiang Ren remembered that when he first came to this world, his body was a demon seed that fell from the sky.
Originally, because of the lack of means to understand outside information.
He always thought that there might be a dark world hidden deep in this world, and there were strange species like the demon species in it.
But ever since he was able to control his behavior, he discovered that the high probability was an illusion.
It has only been a few months since he came out of Industry City, but it is enough for him to conduct a preliminary exploration of this world and what the final result will be.
However, apart from martial arts.
Don't talk about other inhuman things and things, not even a reliable rumor.
"Judging from the landing time at that time, I was at least 10,000 meters high when I appeared in this world. I am afraid that there is a lot of probability that it is a species from another world."
Suddenly, Jiang Ren paused.
A feeling of heart palpitations appeared, he quickly got out of the body, entered the body above the carriage, and looked up at the somewhat dim sky.
Snowflakes are falling slowly, and a few dark clouds hang high in the sky.
"It is going to rain?"
Jiang Ren thought subconsciously, but soon came to his senses: "No, no, it's not raining."
somewhere.
He felt an uncomfortable force on his body.
That feeling is like the feeling of restraint after a slim-fitting dress is dehydrated and shrinks after being washed, and then forcibly worn on the body.
That force did not appear suddenly.
Rather, it existed long before today, otherwise it would be impossible for him not to discover it.
If it wasn't for the fact that I had sunk my mind into the main body for a long time just now, coupled with the keen perception of the beast's intuition and the original power, otherwise, even after another week and a month, I might not be able to discover it.
"This feeling of restraint is probably the shackles that this world puts on me."
Jiang Ren felt it carefully, and his face gradually became expressionless.
He once got some partial knowledge from other worlds: When an alien invasive species appears in a world, the invasive species usually has only two endings.
One assimilation, one annihilation.
Since he had never felt targeted before, he had never thought about it.
"Judging from the current situation, the world should want to subtly tighten the shackles on me as time goes by, until one day I get rid of me, or abolish me..."
"No, in my current form, abolishing me is undoubtedly killing me."
Jiang Ren didn't know what the deadline was, but he could predict that his time was running out.
Duo Chi'er could not be resolved, and he himself received a death notice. It was really a house leak and it rained overnight, and unfortunately came one after another.
Jiang Ren tapped his head, suspecting that the misfortune had something to do with Duo Chi'er.
After all, judging from the current situation, if there is no meddling in this world, then Duo Chi'er is the proud son of heaven and the protagonist of the world.
And if he changed the world line slightly, and even wanted to kill Duo Chi'er, shouldn't he be hated by the heavens?
"Will it be better if you stay away from him?"
As soon as this idea came up, Jiang Ren sneered.
In reality, it's okay to endure it for the sake of the family.
It's not possible to live in other worlds just to see other people's faces, right?
"The follow-up must be accelerated."
Out of the corner of Jiang Ren's eye, he saw that the surrounding river was much calmer, so he asked the driver to stop the carriage.
Immediately, one of them jumped out of the carriage, came to the back of the carriage, the driver's blind spot, and took out a small boat from the warehouse of the mall.
[Item: Black Canopy Boat]
[Introduction: You can swim in the lake or cross the river]
[Remarks: This is a sturdy ship, you can use it to cross the sea with peace of mind, it will definitely not let you down, it is impossible to disintegrate, it is definitely possible.]
"This boat can't carry horses, so we can only let them go."
Jiang Ren unfastened the harnesses on the horses, and after freeing the two horses, he called all the people in the carriage down.
The water surface is relatively calm and there is no strong wind, so it is a good time to cross the river.
"."
The coachman was a little surprised and puzzled when he saw an extra boat by the river, but he pondered for a moment and said nothing.
Ever since he was able to drive a carriage out of the city unimpeded amidst the shouts of killing everywhere, he knew that the employer who hired him was definitely a big shot.
And the less you know about important people, the safer you will be.
"Master Jiang, thank you for your help."
Huang Lanxi came to Jiang Ren with Wan Sheng in her arms, bowed her knees slightly to express her gratitude.
Even though Wan Jinghao was unwilling to talk about many things with her in detail, she still knew from his few words that the person in front of her was not as old as she appeared to be.
"No need to be too polite." Jiang Ren said and got on the boat.
Huang Lanxi chased after her and said: "Young Master Jiang is very kind and virtuous, if you need anything, just tell me, if I can't do it, my dad can..."
After hearing this, Wan Jinghao opened his mouth, wondering if he should stop her.
Jiang Ren looked at her: "What do you think I need?"
Huang Lanxi, who was interrupted, was stunned for a moment, and then smiled wryly: "I'm overthinking, don't blame Mr. Jiang."
Just now I just wanted to repay my favor, but what can a person who is suspected of manipulating hundreds of thousands of corpses and even killing the strongest barbarian, Zheng Luqi, flee wildly, what can't be done?
What he can't do, it's even more impossible for Dad to do it.
"Get on board and set off."
Jiang Ren shook his head and picked up a paddle.
With just two short words, three adults and a baby who were still on the shore also boarded the boat.
With a distance of several miles, the river is not as calm as the lake, and the boat is too small, so it will inevitably take a lot of time.
But under the control of Jiang Ren and Wan Jinghao, the boat reached the other side without any surprise or danger.
Abandon ship, land.
A group of six people packed lightly and set out on the road, planning to find a family to rest first, and then see if they could buy horses or other means of transportation with money to go to Beiyan City, the capital of the Great Zhao Empire.
But not long after they walked, they encountered a group of ten cavalrymen.
As the only woman on the scene.
At the first moment, Huang Lanxi attracted the attention of these cavalrymen.
Not to mention, she was already more beautiful than most women, and she had an aura that surpassed that of women of her age. At first glance, she looked like a child from an unusual family.
"Whose name is it? Where did you live? Where did you go?"
Ten cavalrymen surrounded them tightly. The leader was a young man with a pale complexion and a frivolous voice. When he was speaking, he stared at Huang Lanxi, wishing he could take off her white cloak.
Jiang Ren didn't reply, and turned his attention to Huang Lanxi.
After all, this is the territory of Dazhao. If it can be resolved peacefully, then try to resolve it peacefully.
Seeing this, Wan Jinghao put his hand on his waist unconsciously.
After realizing that he was not carrying a weapon, he turned his attention to the saber on the young man's waist.
"Young Master Xu."
Huang Lanxi saw the young man's face clearly, and immediately called out happily.
After her father was transferred to the imperial capital and was reused, as her father's only daughter, she participated in many second-generation gatherings such as poetry clubs due to human relations.
Among them was Xu Ran, the son of a fringe official in the court.
Xu Ran reluctantly looked away from her and asked, "Who are you?"
Huang Lanxi announced her name and asked, "How is my father?"
Now that Wan Jinghao has been found, and he is still beside her, the person she misses the most is her father, Huang Zeshu.
Xu Ran was startled, then nodded and smiled, "Okay, very good."
Before Huang Lanxi could reply, he covered his mouth and coughed twice, looking at the baby in her arms: "This is it?"
"Son of a friend."
Huang Lanxi teased Wan Sheng for a while, and then introduced Jiang Ren and others.
However, out of caution, she did not disclose any more information about Jiang Ren and Wan Jinghao except their names.
Xu Ran nodded: "That's good, that's good."
Huang Lanxi felt that he was a little strange, but she still asked: "Mr. Xu, do you know how far the nearest house is from here? Can you point me to the way?"
"It turned out to be Miss Huang. It's great that you came back safely."
Xu Ran immediately ordered his men to get out of the way, and then patted the place in front of him: "This place is about a hundred miles away from the imperial city, and the nearest village is also more than ten miles away. It's a long way, why don't I take you there?"
"I appreciate Mr. Xu's kindness, but walking is more suitable for me."
Huang Lanxi glanced at him, her expression gradually turned cold.
Not to mention that Wan Jinghao is by her side now, even if he is not by her side, she will not ride a horse with a man unless the man is Wan Jinghao.
Xu Ran's face was a little gloomy, but he quickly returned to normal.
The invitation to ride a horse together failed, and he graciously offered to give up the horse he was riding, or let her choose one of the nine horses under his command.
In this regard, Huang Lanxi still chose to refuse.
Unless Wan Jinghao and Jiang Ren also got on a horse each, she would not consider riding alone and watching them walk.
Xu Ran's ten cavalry led the way, followed by Jiang Ren and his party.
During this process, Xu Ran still did not give up.
He kept looking for topics with Huang Lanxi, and wanted to get closer to her, but even when he saw her and Wan Jinghao's intimate words and deeds, he didn't have the intention of retreating in spite of the difficulties.
"Next, things should get interesting."
As a bystander, Jiang Ren watched the scene silently.
Judging from Xu Ran's words and deeds, it is obvious that he is not a rule-abiding person. After mastering the power, this kind of person is located in the wilderness. Facing a woman who has repeatedly asked for it, he does not know how long he can maintain his rationality.
Unexpectedly, nothing happened halfway.
When they saw the village and the people, the group immediately quickened their pace.
