Death is the Beginning Chapter 8: : Returning to the City and Searching (Part 1)

When Pei Jiao woke up from a deep sleep. At this moment, in a certain jungle in the south, which is far away from northern China, Zhang Heng led nearly a thousand humans slowly but resolutely towards the jungle.

It has been two days and two nights since he captured the Kui Niu Drum. During these two days and two nights, he has not been idle at all. There were more than a hundred horses, all of which were skinned and shaved by the people as food.

Of course, the wisdom of the working people is limitless. Not to mention, the meat of this pack of giant wolves, which are bigger than ordinary cattle, is enough for hundreds of thousands of people to eat for several days , and these people have suffered enough from starvation. Now that the wolf meat is enough, it is no less than heaven for them, so whether it is wolf meat, giant wolf internal organs, or even the huge wolf meat The bones were cracked hard to **** the marrow inside, and more wolf meat was smoked and preserved. God knows how afraid they would be to starve again.

In addition to wolf meat, Zhang Heng also retrieved a large number of plant seeds, roots and other food from the mountain barbarians. Among them is a kind of seed that is as big as a white bean and shaped like rice. After cooking, it looks like real rice, and it is even more delicious, with a hint of sweetness. It is a new variety that no one has ever seen before.

But thinking about the appearance of countless alien intelligent creatures that have never been seen before, it is only natural that these new types of plants appear, and these new types of rice have also been selected by the people who belong to farming. I found some of the seeds that are still well preserved. Although I don't know the yield of this new type of rice, it is a hope after all, the hope that human beings can meet the food demand in the future.

In this way, Zhang Heng attacked everywhere in the past two days and two nights, and wiped out the gathering points and lairs of the surrounding mountain barbarians, goblins, elves, swamp wolves, and several intelligent creatures of other races. Especially in the peeling forest, Zhang Heng saw that the elf settlement in that forest had already been emptied, but there were hundreds of dead bones and human skins left there. A fire burned the forest all over, so until the end of two days, he rescued nearly 600 people, but most of these people have lost their minds. It will take several days of self-cultivation to recover. There are more than a hundred people who are already disabled, and it is common to lose hands and feet. Such things make Zhang Heng feel desolate and furious at the same time.

But he didn't kill blindly. For example, goblins, about 1.23 meters tall, covered with green skin, looked a bit like abstract humans. This is among all the alien races in the jungle. The only alien race that did not capture humans, but it is not that this race is kind and peaceful with humans, but that the physical fitness of this race is actually worse than that of humans, but even so, they will swarm around the lonely humans, Zhang Heng saw more than a dozen human corpses in their lair.

However, this goblin clan was spared from being exterminated, precisely because of its low physical fitness, but the number is not large. There are one or two thousand goblins in a gathering place. After Zhang Heng killed four or five hundred . The rest of the goblins all knelt on the ground. They couldn't run away, and they would die faster if they resisted. So these goblins surrendered in an instant, and they became slaves. Behind the large human forces in the village, they still look extremely humble.

That's fine. After Zhang Heng directly recovered a goblin tribe, he didn't bother to find other goblin lairs. After two days and two nights, almost all the humans in this mountainous area have been rescued and are alive. There are about 1,300 to 400 people, but at least 400 of them are insane, they only eat food when they have it, and they squat on the ground trembling when they see foreigners.

Among the nearly 1,000 remaining people, there are more than 100 people who are disabled and unable to walk. Fortunately, this is the end of the world. Helping, no one cared about who was dirty or smelly, this group of more than a thousand people slowly followed behind Zhang Heng and Duan Rui, and walked out in the direction of the mountain .

As for other sundries and the like, to be honest, there were no other sundries. When the ghosts broke out and everyone escaped from the city, they only had time to grab a few pieces of clothing. Or they didn't even take any clothes, most of them only brought money or bank cards, but who knew that human civilization was destroyed so quickly and so thoroughly, would there be any use for these money and bank cards?

After the appearance of foreign races, they were even more naked and fled to the mountains, and a very small number of people got some weapons from the police station or some accompanying soldiers, but in the past two years , Hunting, and fighting with alien races, there is basically no ammunition, so this walk is clean and neat. As for the food, it is the steaks of the giant wolf meat smoked and roasted, and there are several large bags of plant roots. And the seeds, all were brought by those goblin slaves, even Zhang Heng was more whimsical, and led people to make a lot of stretchers, so that those goblin slaves could bear the burden of people who have difficulty walking or who are insane. I don't bother to care about whether these goblins will lose their strength or not, anyway, if they refuse to accept it, they will kill them. Do races that have eaten humans still want to live well?

In this way, about four days passed. Although there were too many people, and most of them were weak and weak, within four days, they still let everyone walk out of the jungle. What I looked at was a highway that went directly to a distant place.

"Follow this road and walk for about half a day, and you will be able to go to the nearest town from here."

Zhang Heng was at the front of the team. When he took everyone on the highway with him, at least half of the people present cried loudly. They all knelt and sat on the highway, stroking the smooth ground of the highway with their hands. The situation felt a little out of control.

Zhang Heng also remained silent for a long time, and he felt even more sad and uncomfortable for the people in front of him. God knows that human beings, who are the spirits of all things, were forced to escape into the mountains due to various reasons, and were even more slaughtered. After being raised, when they returned from the mountains and forests and saw the creations of the previous civilization of human beings again, this kind of emotional outburst is really hard to describe in words. Any language is pale and powerless before this kind of emotion.

Duan Rui took out a map next to Zhang Heng. This map was finally found in the warehouse of a mountain barbarian. Although it was tattered, it still marked the traffic map of nearby towns. So it can be regarded as everyone's current treasure. After Duan Rui and Zhang Heng searched for a while, and a few local people in the crowd signaled, everyone walked slowly towards that town.

Actually, this trip can be regarded as a trip where more than a thousand people broke their boats, because according to some people who escaped from that town, that town has already been occupied by a group of alien races similar to mountain barbarians, but this The group of aliens only lived on the plains, far away from the mountains, forests and mountains, so they didn't go into the mountains to arrest them. If Zhang Heng lost to the barbarian tribe along the way, then they really couldn't even escape. It may be that he was arrested, killed and eaten. There is really no hope left.

However, there are a lot of barbarians, there are thousands of barbarians, and at that time, a large human settlement was next to this small town. When the barbarians appeared, they carried out a surprise attack on this large settlement , although it has been a year since then. After being bred and eaten for such a long time, it is estimated that there will not be many of these captured humans left, but there must be thousands of humans. After all, the staple food of the barbarians is not humans, and the bred humans may breed some wild animals with them. Almost, it shouldn't be eaten...

What a cruel word.

But! But they have already had enough of living in hiding like mice, with no food, no safety, and no hope... Instead of continuing to live like that, they might as well move forward with this only hope!

We are human!

Zhang Heng still remembers the little girl he saw when he woke up from the ground. Half of her chest was bitten off by a mountain barbarian, and she could only helplessly cough up blood...

There was also the little girl who stuffed him with a half-bitten dried wild date. It was her most precious thing, a treasure that her father gave up his life, and it was still in his pocket. This is something he will remember for the rest of his life...

"Let's go! Let's go to the town!" Zhang Heng shouted to the people behind him, and then walked towards the town first.

This group of people, there are about a thousand humans, and the goblins who are chirping behind these humans. A group of people are walking on the highway. Except for Zhang Heng, the rest of them do not know what is going on in front of them. Everyone is hesitant about what the future will be, but they don't regret walking out of the mountain forest, not for anything else, just for the shock and joy that came from the depths of their souls at the moment when they saw the expressway. Touched, the impulse to regain self-esteem and self-improvement as a human being, and the courage that human beings have not yet fallen! Just for all of this, even death is worth it!

Fortunately...Fortunately, when Zhang Heng appeared, human civilization had only been lost for two years. During these two years, human beliefs have not been completely lost. Human beings are still the same human beings. They only need to give them the environment and courage, and they are still the same. Enough to change the world, enough to be called a race of humans...fortunately.

In this way, Zhang Heng himself didn't know that his appearance had not only saved the lives of these people, but also saved their spirit and belief in the abyss, especially in this seemingly reckless, In fact, his very sure actions re-invigorated the survivors. As long as this battle can be won, as long as these people can continue to live, there will be new hope for the future of mankind.

Ten or so hours is a long time to say, but that day the sun dipped below the horizon, the stars began to fill the sky, and most of the people ate and drank. After two or three meals, finally, in the distance of the horizon, everyone saw The light of the flames, and the traces of the former town are faintly visible, but unfortunately, the town has long been completely abandoned, or it has been transformed, and it has become a collection of strange buildings that cannot be described. It really looked like it was built of stones, broken steel bars, and some trees... a cottage?

Yes, the cottage is very similar to the mountain villages that Zhang Heng exterminated.

The barbarian stronghold in the distance was already faintly visible. Until then, everyone did not move forward. They all looked at Zhang Heng, and Zhang Heng paused for a while, and let everyone stay in the dark for a while. After resting, he came to the elf princess who was bound among the goblins.

This female elf mage, according to her, is the princess of the elf black forest tribe, that is, the princess of the flayed forest elf tribe that was set on fire by Zhang Heng. She woke up after being captured by Zhang Heng At that time, he started to yell and curse, and his demeanor was even more arrogant. He kept talking about the power of the elves, saying that Zhang Heng was just a low-level holy spirit, and there were hundreds of low-level holy spirits in the holy land of the elves. .

But Zhang Heng will ignore her. Of course, talking about Lun X is too late. Although Zhang Heng can slaughter a tribe of alien races without blinking, but if he really wants to give a foreign woman to Lun X , but this is challenging his psychological limit, he will never do it, but other than that, Zhang Heng is really not polite. He took out a small skinning knife and peeled the skin from the hands and feet of the elf princess.

As a result, before the skin on one hand was peeled off, the elf princess had already given in, and told about the existence of the twelve major tribes of the elves, thirty-six small tribes, and a royal court. She came out, but only the holy land of the elves was beaten to death and she didn't say anything. Even though Zhang Heng completely skinned one of her arms, she passed out several times without saying a word. This made Zhang Heng feel a little admiration in his heart.

But what about admiration? Everyone is of a different race. If you use my clansman to skin and bone, I will destroy your entire clan. Just like what Gong Yeyu said before, I have already lived and died. I should kill or have to kill. But it's meaningless to torture the elf princess any more, so he didn't bother to take care of the elf princess anymore, he cut off her tendons, and then ordered the goblins to carry them on a stretcher, and after preparing to settle these humans down, he went to find the elves Trouble for the tribe, because according to what this elf princess said, there are one or several holy artifacts in the elf tribe, the artifacts of the clan, no matter how bad it is, it is at least a natural weapon, right? The possibility of a real-name natural weapon is also quite high. It is even said that there is an artifact passed down from the elves in the royal court. Zhang Heng paid attention to it at the time. It might be a natural weapon of civilization, although his current strength is unlikely to wipe out the elves. family, but his partner can!

Since he can survive Easter Island, then his partner can definitely, keep this elf princess, and when he finds the rest of his partners, he will go to the elves to **** women... Uh, I was wrong, **** Weapons, **** out the natural weapons of civilization!

At this time, Zhang Heng walked up to the elf princess. The elf girl was looking at him with resentment and hatred, but Zhang Heng ignored her and slapped her across the face, knocking out a few of her teeth. Then he sneered and said: "Stop looking at me with that superior gaze, believe it or not, I will strip you naked and throw it to the goblins to play? I am very annoyed by you alien races, it is best not to challenge my limit, Now let me ask you, what is the strength of those flat land barbarians among your hundreds of clans?"

The elf princess spat out her teeth, and she bit her lips tightly, but she never dared to look at Zhang Heng again.

Zhang Heng was silent for a while. Everything he saw in the peeling forest flashed through his mind. The tyranny in his heart burst out like magma. At the same time, when she mentioned her, she wanted to throw it at those goblins. Only then did the elf princess burst into tears, and at the same time hugged Zhang Heng tightly with her arms... Her tendons in her hands and hamstrings were broken, and she was unable to move. At the same time, he said loudly: "I was wrong, I was wrong, don't give me to the goblins, I know many things about the elves and the hundred tribes, I was wrong..."

Zhang Heng snorted, then put her back on the stretcher, stared straight into her eyes and said, "Quickly, I don't have time to chat with you, my clansmen are still hungry and sleepy, It’s cold, I’m going to fight back to town as soon as possible.”

The elf princess was really scared now, she quickly said: "The mountain barbarians you call, and these flat land barbarians are a large race called barbarians. Among the hundreds of tribes, there is a holy place. There are clan ancestors, that is, races with holy spirits like you. There are eight races in total, namely our elves, barbarians, dwarves, giants, demons, seas, celestials, and undead. They are the eight powerful races, which have been inherited from the civilization of the last few epochs. As for the other races, such as the Swamp Ten Clan, the Goblin Clan, and the Shui Clan, Snow Clan, and Werewolf Clan, they are all inferior races. There is no holy land, it is only because of the protection of a large number of unowned lands that it can be passed down to this day, and it is also a survivor of previous civilizations like us."

Zhang Heng nodded, and suddenly asked: "The so-called holy land...is it a fantasy land?"

The elf princess froze for a moment, but she looked at Zhang Heng inexplicably and said, "Fantasy land? What is that?"

Zhang Heng thought for a while and said, "Many ghosts and ghosts will appear on their own... Well, there are some creatures similar to the Holy Spirit, and the inside is very vast and huge. It is a kind of different world and different space."

The elf princess suddenly realized: "This is the land of no man. There are indeed many holy spirit-like creatures in it, but these creatures can be directly destroyed by physical attacks, but they are still very dangerous inside. Those who are not from the eight major races The rest of the races rely on the protection of the land of no man, so they escaped the apocalypse and can be passed down to this day. However, our eight major races don’t have to do this. Our holy land will not produce these creatures, and they can reproduce very safely. That's why we can be called the top eight families."

Zhang Heng suddenly realized that he had heard Pei Jiao talk about his experience in the fantasy land on the North-South battlefield in the United States. , maybe this is not devouring, but assimilating or controlling the fantasy land, maybe... maybe ghosts at the level of the devil can control the fantasy land through certain methods, so that ordinary people may also enter the fantasy land. In the field... No!

No! Human beings can now enter the fantasy land! The most basic condition to enter the fantasy land is that it must be a soul body, otherwise you must wear the Nibelungen Ring like Yu Ndchen, such a three-eyed creation, and the current earth environment has changed It has become a real subspace environment, and in this environment, the soul is already a body. In other words, the current human beings are already soul bodies, and they can already enter the fantasy land!

In the same way, the reason why those alien races without holy places can be passed down from previous civilizations is exactly the same. At that time, they can enter the fantasy land, and after escaping the doomsday of the subspace, the fantasy land may be closed, but they survived and continue to survive and inherit in the fantasy land... In this way, The sudden appearance of these alien races is also understandable. When the subspace descended on the earth and a large number of fantasy lands were opened, then these alien races also left the fantasy land and came to the earth. This is the reason for their sudden appearance!

So... can human beings escape the doomsday in the same way? It only needs Gong Yeyu to control a large fantasy land, then there will be no more monsters spawning in the fantasy land, and human beings can survive unharmed.

Similarly, Zhang Heng also has the answers to the other puzzles, such as why alien races are usually so strong, and even this weak goblin race~IndoMTL.com~ has far more endurance than humans. Fighting those ghosts in the fantasy land, eating the soul obsession of ghosts all the time, after a long time, naturally far surpassing humans...

"It seems that we need to find other partners as soon as possible..." Zhang Heng muttered to himself. Fantastic things, in other words, they also have their own demon king rank powerhouse, which is not good news for human beings, it seems that the rest of them will be found as soon as possible, as long as Gong Yeyu and Pei Jiao are there, but also A powerful demon king who is not afraid of other alien races.

Putting these thoughts aside, Zhang Heng saw the elf princess's expression of fearing him and being afraid of him. Although he didn't feel guilty, he felt pity. I found some wild fruits and threw them on the stretcher of the elf princess. At the same time, I said to the goblins who coveted the elf princess: "Don't touch her, or I will pull your skin!" The elf princess and the goblin walked straight to the front of the team.

As Zhang Heng walked, he looked up. In the distance, lights were looming, and there... would be the first step of human re-emergence!
