"As long as the border checkpoints are closed, our business will be particularly good.
I'm a little grateful to those zombies."
A horse thief held a straw stick in his mouth, chewing it and talking lazily.
"Bah, don't talk nonsense, be careful to provoke zombies."
A younger horse thief was obviously a little afraid of undead creatures and was spitting repeatedly.
"We have so many brothers, are we still afraid of zombies?
If they really dare to show up, I will chop them off one by one."
The horse thief with the straw stick in his mouth said disdainfully.
"Don't lie. I heard that those zombies were very ferocious. They slaughtered a town a few days ago and left no one alive."
The young knife said tremblingly.
"If they are really so vicious, why were they beaten to pieces by the monks from Danantang in the past few times?
I think if they cause trouble a few more times, they will be wiped out. Let’s seize this time and rob more business trips, because the future will become increasingly difficult.”
The horse thief with the straw stick in his mouth said angrily.
"Those monks charge too much money, and besides, they can't always stay here.
Once they leave, the zombies will still appear."
The horse thieves were all talking about it.
"Xixissuosuo", there was a sound in the nearby grass, it didn't sound like wind.
The horse thieves didn't pay attention. They were still chatting. No one could have guessed that there would be uninvited guests in this barren mountain.
"I have to go relieve myself."
The horse thieves had been waiting for too long, and finally someone couldn't bear it any longer, so he got up and slipped quietly into the dark.
I don't know how much time passed, but the horse thief still didn't come back. Some people found it strange.
"Why has Xiao Zhu been there for so long? Could he have run away secretly?"
"Maybe it's constipation."
Someone snickered.
"I gonna go see."
The leader of the horse thieves, Boss You, frowned and said, "Calm down and don't be exposed. If you let those merchants escape, I will skin you."
The horse thieves remained silent, but as soon as Boss You left, they started laughing and whispering again.
Boss You left and didn't come back for a long time. By the time the horse thieves realized this, it was already completely dark.
"Why hasn't the boss come back yet?
Nothing will happen, right?"
A horse thief said doubtfully.
"Are you kidding? The boss is so skilled, what will happen?"
His companions scoffed.
Before he finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps in the grass.
The horse thief smiled and said, "Look, they must be back."
All the horse thieves turned around and looked at the source of the footsteps, but their pupils dilated at the same time, with a horrified expression on everyone's face.
"Jie Jie..." A burst of strange laughter echoed in the mountains, followed by several miserable screams.
Soon the top of the mountain returned to its usual calm, and on the mountain road in the distance, a string of dots of firelight came from far and near, marching with difficulty.
"Chen Laowu, how long do we have to go? It's already dark, why haven't we arrived yet?"
A fat businessman asked Chen Laowu breathlessly.
"You actually asked me and didn't even look at how much you brought. At this rate, I'm afraid it won't arrive tomorrow morning."
Chen Laowu's eyes flickered.
"How far is it from Shanbei Town?"
Li Xuan asked. He had been following Chen Laowu because he was afraid of what this guy might do.
"If everyone speeds up a bit, it will only take more than an hour."
Chen Laowu pointed to the front and said, "Ahead is the Yixiantian Valley. Let's take a rest when we get out of there."
"One line of sky?"
Li Xuan squinted his eyes and looked ahead, and sure enough he saw a small road sandwiched between two mountain peaks.
The steep mountain walls and narrow paths are simply the perfect place for an ambush.
The fat businessman was not afraid of deception. Hearing that he could rest, he wiped the sweat from his face and said, "It's time to take a rest. As long as we can get to Shanbei Town before midnight."
"Don't worry, we'll be here soon."
Chen Laowu chuckled and quickened his pace.
Li Xuan followed Chen Laowu closely, and he could already conclude that Chen Laowu's accomplices were ambushing him in Yixiantian.
Li Xuan winked at Kuanghu and Xue Chang, and protected Yao Lin, Bai Ziwei and Sima De in the center, and cautiously headed towards the sky.
When they came to the intersection of Yixiantian, the businessmen behind Chen Laowu couldn't help but gasp. It was really too dangerous here.
"Hey, is this really the road?"
The fat businessman came over again and asked Chen Laowu nervously.
"Of course, if you don't believe me, you can go back."
Chen Laowu shrugged his shoulders.
After walking for so long, how could we possibly turn back? Even though the fat businessman was unhappy, he could only watch helplessly as Chen Laowu took the lead and walked into the path.
Li Xuan followed him like a shadow, and at the same time raised his head to look at the blurry line of night above his head.
"Hiss..." Li Xuan sniffed, feeling something was wrong.
When Chen Laowu heard the noise made by Li Xuan, he turned around and asked with a smile: "What are you doing?"
"I seem to smell a smell of blood."
Li Xuan said that he was very familiar with this smell. Not long ago, many people should have died nearby.
"How can it be."
Chen Laowu covered it up and said, "There are barren mountains and ridges around here. Not to mention people, even wild animals are rare."
"I didn't say there must be someone."
Li Xuan said with a smile.
Chen Laowu glanced at Li Xuan suspiciously and quickened his pace.
He was very familiar with the road conditions here, and he left Li Xuan behind in a few steps.
Seeing that Li Xuan did not follow closely, Chen Laowu felt a little relieved. As long as he walked a little further, there would be an ambush point. When he got there, he would escape. As soon as the stone above his head fell, this group of caravans would be in his pocket.
thing.
Thinking of the gold ingots that he was about to get, Chen Laowu's saliva almost started to flow. While he continued to open the distance between him and Li Xuan, he turned around and shouted: "Everyone, hurry up. You can rest after you get out of here."
Li Xuan watched Chen Laowu walking further and further away, feeling uneasy in his heart.
He did smell the smell of blood, and it was very strong. The smell of blood seemed to be mixed with a familiar rotten smell.
"Why does it smell like a zombie..." Li Xuan frowned slightly. He felt that this journey was becoming more and more dangerous.
It's okay if it's just horse thieves, but if zombies are also involved, you have to be extra careful.
"Hehe..." Chen Laowu walked briskly to a slightly opened road, which was exactly where he had agreed with his companions.
Looking back, Chen Laowu felt relieved and saw that the nearest Li Xuan was twenty meters away from him.
He put his fingers into his mouth and blew a sharp whistle.
The whistle sounds very loud and harsh in the calm night, tearing apart the harmonious atmosphere.
