Chapter 5: Common Basics, Threads and Horrors
The messy room was covered with broken glass and blood plasma dyed every inch of the ground red.
The young man holding a weapon could see the beautiful woman's cheeks on the other side of the gap in the cabinet... Zhu Peng saved the mother and son, but did not save this family that also retains warmth in the purgatory on earth.
"... Sorry, this is for you. Please, don't let your husband's efforts and sacrifice become meaningless." Looking at the warm corpse on the ground and his unclosed eyes, Zhu Peng squatted down and stroked the man's eyes, and at the same time shattered his neck bones with a vague method. When Zhu Peng stood up again, he took out a broken purple gem and handed it to the other side through the gap, hoping that it would make the mother and son more likely to survive.
He carried the two-handed long sword inlaid with flawless emeralds again. Zhu Peng pulled out two metal javelins from the return arrow bag and assaulted the formation to break through the enemy. When he used the two-handed long sword to use the fierce sword to leverage the force to fight the force, he was always invincible. When facing opponents with excellent martial arts, the left shield and right sword attacked and defended one by one. However, facing a group of zombies, even the zombies that were strengthened by the demon tide in the first realm were faster and stronger. At this time, double-held and double-killing is the most efficient way of fighting.
Walking out of the place that could have been called "home" now is now fragmented. When walking in the corridor, Zhu Peng had forgotten the tragedy he had just witnessed. His spirit is the three treasures of Taoism. The tragedy can be felt but it cannot be kept in his heart forever, otherwise it will hurt the spirit and damage the foundation of Taoism.
Facing the zombies whose eyes were shaking with scarlet eyes, he relaxed with his five fingers in the middle of the javelin. The metal javelin rotated around his left wrist and elbow with force, like a slender and lively poisonous snake; his right hand held the back of the middle of the other javelin, which was also snake-shaped but different from the left hand, but slightly swayed the head of the skull in a calm and giant python-like posture.
Wudang Five Poisons, the Golden Snake and the Silk Hands of the Two Snakes (cooperate to kill you together). This was originally a short-term fight skill that specializes in hitting the vitals of the human body, and a very sinister and cruel martial arts. However, at this time, Zhu Peng used the boy qigong to deal with monsters from the abyss, it seemed extremely upright, with a sense of artistic conception of devouring evil and exorcising demons with evil.
Only instinctive zombies were almost the same as wild beasts. Zhu Peng did not run and they did not run. Both sides approached each other slowly and staggeredly. When the distance between the two sides was only one or two meters away, Zhu Peng shrank and rushed over and threw himself into the group of corpses. The zombies in front, back and left and right wanted to bite him at the same time, but were blocked by each other. In just a short moment, only the small corridor was left with the sound of whistling through the air and a series of rain-like striking pipa.
The golden javelin in Zhu Peng's hands, even if it is not thrown into the three attributes of ice, fire and heavy blow, has an astonishing lethality. He held the middle of the two javelins and rushed into the corpse group and quickly attacked. The tip of the gun and the tail of the gun were used together, flying up and down. The surrounding zombies fell to the ground as if they were spreading. Finally, a violent knee-flash hit the chest of a standing zombie in the back row. As the sternum of the first zombie broke and shattered, the two zombies also collided like shells under the collision of huge impact force. They broke through the iron railing and fell down together.
This scene happened to be seen by several female ninjas running and rushing. A man in a strong suit roared on the broken balcony of the iron railing with both hands. The spreading roar attracted all the movable zombies on the floor. They ran to the balcony of the sixth floor at a speed that ordinary athletes did not have to rush to the overly arrogant human, and then were swept down one after another by the opponent's short and fast attacks.
No matter how strong he was strengthened by the demon tide, he was still unstable. Only the attack consciousness lacked self-protection instinct; no matter how strong he was strengthened by the demon tide, he fell from the height of the six-story building, and he would become meat paste. Seeing that the man even tied up a large group of zombies with iron chains, and then violently knocked dozens of zombies downstairs with a fierce knock, the group of zombies that bloomed in that moment seemed like an alternative firework scattered in the air, and fell on the ground like dumplings. The man holding two guns in both hands flew over the eaves and walls, clearing out the entire building and even nearby zombies layer by layer, integrating the surrounding environment into martial arts, which made his killing efficiency extremely amazing.
"This is too amazing. In less than ten minutes, he killed one or two hundred zombies by himself... When did such a powerful new professional come to Jinling City?" These Japanese girls wearing ninja clothes did not train since childhood, but were "half-way monks" selected by the Japanese martial arts organization from the Japanese remnants after the Cataclysm of the Doomsday. Although they used the convenience of some wizard worlds to greatly reduce their practice time, allowing these originally ordinary Japanese beauties to have physical strength that is not inferior to ordinary Shinin, in terms of spiritual will... they can only say that they had just developed a skin and were sent out to use it.
"No matter how powerful this martial artist is, it is also a problem that needs to be understood after this magic disaster mission. Lord Miyagi Sectus has already brought his main combat power to kill the zombie boss. Our mission is to find the believers of the Abyss to cut off the magic source. Otherwise, as time goes by, the magic disaster will become more and more serious and finally destroy the entire Jinling." He looked at the young martial artist who was advancing and retreating like the wind on the roof. The ninja leader waved his hand and they merged into the shadow again. When they appeared again, they were already at a very long distance. These ninjas obviously integrated some of the thieves professions in the wizard world into their own profession system, showing a very powerful system devouring ability.
The nearby monsters were swept away, not just zombies, but also many giant spiders hiding in the darkness as big as washbasin. They were also affected and eroded by demonic poisons, and expanded the scope of the recipe to humans while retaining their predatory instinct.
Their attacks are more mysterious than zombies. Although they have never been bitten, Zhu Peng estimated that the toxicity of these giant spiders is probably stronger. However, the inherent territorial consciousness of creatures still affects these new monsters. They do not have the strong desire for food as strong as zombies, and are more waiting for rabbits within a certain range. On the top floor of the building, after repeatedly confirming the safety of the surroundings, Zhu Peng took out his mobile phone from his arms and called out a downward view of the city that he had just taken on a helicopter from the photo folder.
Unlike other professions participating in this mission, Zhu Peng is a black wizard apprentice with a complete inheritance. Some basic theoretical knowledge is within his learning scope of the magic rituals such as "soul sacrifice". The powerful black wizard trades with the alien plane and even the demons in the abyss, the devils in the purgatory. Because they have always used other people's souls, it doesn't matter whether they have profit or loss. As long as the transaction is successful, it is often profitable. There is a huge trade deficit between different planes. Many vegetation that grows like weeds in the abyss or purgatory are rare herbs in the normal plane. On the contrary, it is similar. Abyss and purgatory can almost never have the rich and huge soul resources in the normal plane world.
Simply put, the apprentice of the Black Wizard can roughly deduce the pitiful and hateful believer of the abyss through the top view on her mobile phone. Where she holds the magic ritual now is much more efficient than the blind and purposeless search of other professions.
"If I had to set up a black witchcraft array in this urban area, then I would choose a cemetery, school and large shopping mall..." I muttered to myself, and Zhu Peng marked the three positions in the enlarged top view.
There is no need to explain the cemetery. There are great advantages in the selection of materials and formations here. After the abyss descended, a large number of human corpses were piled up here and it was difficult to deal with. There was no energy and conditions for large-scale cremation. If a black witch array was set up here, the environmental bonus would definitely reach a certain extreme value.
However, the military staff are not stupid. Once a magic disaster breaks out in this city, the most dead people will be places where they are repeatedly inspected. If that woman really held a magic ritual here, the professionals scattered in the spread of the magic disaster would have received the news and killed them directly. The place is a good place, but it is too conspicuous, and it will not be here. The cemetery is the most popular place, and there is no darkness under the light.
Schools from ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad are often built on cemeteries. In terms of Chinese Feng Shui, cemeteries are where evil evils gather. In terms of the wizard world, they are densely packed with negative energy particles. Regardless of the East or the West, this type of basic Feng Shui knowledge is the same.
Establish a school on the cemetery, and use the yang energy of many students to harmonize the Yin evil, and finally achieve the goal of balance between Yin and Yang.
But now there is no such building configuration in Jinling City. The abandoned schools have completely become unbalanced by Yin and Yang, and the negative energy particles are highly active. Ordinary people will instinctively feel uncomfortable when they go to abandoned schools. The most terrifying thing is that how many children die in the school when the doomsday comes. Yang is eaten by Yin, Yin is stacked on Yin, and the resentment is striking. Here, it may be more suitable for building a black witchcraft array than a city cemetery with many corpses.
Then there is the mall. During the day, people are surging, at night, people are gone, and the yin and yang in the world are in a certain balance. When buildings like commercial buildings are too strong during the day, there will naturally be enough yin energy to fill and make up at night. In addition, the buildings are high enough to not surging, if a black witch magic array is set up on the top floor of the commercial building at night, it can greatly increase the success rate of summoning the devil's consciousness. It is like an ant ignites a fire at a high place, which is easier for people to see.
According to the Feng Shui knowledge that he knows and combined with some basic cognition of negative energy particles, he slowly deduces it. Zhu Peng later marked the abandoned gas station and the abandoned cold storage, but compared with the first three, they can only be regarded as backup options. If the previous three places were lost one after another, Zhu Peng would go to these two places to search and explore.
(Unfortunately, I don’t know much about that believer in the abyss, otherwise I could probably narrow the range of choices again through her life experience.) Just as Zhu Peng sat on the ground and looked at his phone and thought, the recorder he wore on his chest suddenly flashed a yellow-green indicator light.
"A22, why did you stop? You are not injured? You are the one with the highest record among all professions. My god, I killed 279 demonized creatures in more than 20 minutes. Have you rushed to the zombie group to use your ultimate move? Keep moving and maintain this record until the end of the magic disaster. You are definitely an MVP professional. I heard that the military region has prepared a large reward for this magic disaster. Brother, do it well, I'm optimistic about you." A large number of words with a stiff accent suddenly came from the steel recorder. Zhu Peng frowned slightly when he heard it. This voice reminded him of the English teacher who failed the course three times in four years of college (the end of my senior year is coming). The old man has been in China for nearly ten years, and he is also half-baked with American Chinese.
"This recorder can also call and locate us? Who are you, from the military region?"
"Uh, let me introduce myself first. My name is Hanwei Lichard, but my friends like to call me Li Hanwei. I am a Chinese American who specializes in "anti-jamming communication". The thing you are wearing now is one of my works. Do you know how difficult it is to make a device that can communicate short-rangely in a super chaotic magnetic field environment like the abyss?" This is the second chattering chatter that Zhu Peng encountered since Honda, Yama. They all have a very magical ability: they can jump on topics with unusual weirdness and consume a lot of time on both sides.
"...Uh, I think we can talk about your scientific research results in a different time. Mr. Li Hanwei asked you a question. Can you find out what job did the believer of the abyss and her husband do before?"
"Oh, wait, I'll be searching and chatting with you. You have to know that ordinary professionals don't know that the recorder they wear has communication functions. I see that your recorder is really great, so I can't help but get to know you. After this magic disaster mission, we'll have a meal together. I treat you to let us be a pair of good friends in the future... Well, I found it. The woman is Han Xueyi. She is 34 years old today. She worked as a teacher before the Doomsday. After the Doomsday, her children all died in the disaster, and then there was no record of her work. About half a year ago, her husband also died in a riot." The sound of Li Hanwei's words came from the recorder. The information revealed in it made Zhu Peng subconsciously enlarge the map on his phone and focus his attention on a ruined building.
"Do you know where this eldest sister Han's children died? What kind of work does her husband do?"
"The Doomsday Calamity broke out so suddenly, of course her children died in the school. As for her husband's work... My God, her husband is the director of the school. I understand what you mean, you mean Han Xueyi was hiding there to hold a magic ceremony." Li Hanwei's scream of sudden enlightenment came from the recorder. After a while, he lowered his voice and said to Zhu Peng:
"Don't worry, I will keep the secret for you and will never tell other professionals. You should quickly interrupt this evil spirit ceremony. The highest reward for the military region must be that you will not run away."
Two tasks assigned by the Jinling military:
Main mission: behead, kill the believers of the abyss, and cut off the dark magic from outside the city;
Side mission: Purify and clear all pollution sources in the urban area.
All the monsters within the scope of the magic disaster are considered sources of pollution. It requires a lot of manpower to clear them, but it is not difficult. The problem is that if the main task is not completed, dark magic power is constantly pouring in, and the demonized creatures are simply unable to kill. Therefore, although the side missions are busy and tiring, the main task is a key technical job. Whoever can complete it will be the biggest winner of this magic disaster mission.
(Maximum reward…)
Stepping into the balcony and looking at the buildings in the distance, the large ball of light hanging high in the sky had already restrained most of the light. It was the darkest and darkest moment of the day. The shadow of the dilapidated city merged into darkness and turned into a giant beast that devoured everything and enveloped the entire Jinling.
In the endless darkness, it seems that some kind of terrible pulse is nurtured.
Close your eyes and calm your mind. A dark aura covered Zhu Peng's cheeks, making the young man look like he was wearing a painted black mask. He also existed in the dark world, so he could feel a certain kind of horror more clearly.
