Chapter 7: 61-70

Chapter 61

After entering the city, Yang Shu was even more dumbfounded than when he first came. The changes here were earth-shaking. The houses were no longer exquisite, but became spacious and bright. They were comfortable and there were fewer decorations. The shops selling things were basically small shops, and they sold some unknown things. Some of the strange things were expensive.

After Yang Shu came in, he looked left and right, like a person who came to the city for the first time, and attracted a lot of attention.

The main reason was that Yang Shu, a person wearing tattered clothes, was actually with such a good-looking man. Wouldn't this make people jealous? If the strength is good, then nothing will happen. But if the strength is poor, coming in is equivalent to seeking death.

Most superpowers would rather stay in a deserted city than come to a crowded city. The reason is that it is too impetuous here and it is too easy to be bullied. The situation in Kyoto is getting more and more chaotic. If the city walls here are not strong enough to resist the increasingly powerful zombies and mutant beasts, no one would be willing to stay here.

At first glance, Yang Shu brought such a good-looking person in, and it was certain that he would attract other people's attention.

Yang Shu felt something was wrong as he walked. Why were all the people around him staring at him?

"What are they looking at me for?" Yang Shu said while touching his face. There should be nothing.

Luo Tianrui was more perceptive than Yang Shu. Most of those eyes stayed on Yang Shu for a second or two, and then turned to him... to be more precise, on his face. A complicated look appeared in his eyes. Is

Kyoto so chaotic now? They dared to stare at someone as prey so unscrupulously in broad daylight, and they looked ready to move. Isn't the public security here too bad?

"Are you two new here?"

After being stared at for so long, the first person finally approached them. This was like a signal. Those people suddenly became very enthusiastic and asked them where they were from, whether they came to find relatives or what they were doing.

Yang Shu's mouth twitched. It was so obvious that there was something wrong. Did he treat them as fools?

"I came to find someone." Luo Tianrui looked at them, wondering if entering the city was the right decision.

The person who asked the question was puzzled: "Your accent doesn't sound like a local."

"Now there is no such thing as local or not local."

Luo Tianrui casually blocked the words. The man opened his mouth and didn't know what to say to refute. Isn't there no so-called local and foreign now? But they are all fugitives in the doomsday, living a precarious life, and have to look at other people's faces.

"Then who are you looking for?"

"You don't know..-" Yang Shu wanted to pull Luo Tianrui away after saying that, and didn't want to say anything more to him. The eyes of the people around him became more and more strange.

The man was still saying: "If you tell me, I can help you find it."

Yang Shu's body movement is not something that ordinary people can catch up with. Luo Tianrui himself is also fast. They quickly walked out of the encirclement. From the outside, it really looked like they were going to be escorted to somewhere.

After getting outside, Yang Shu pinched Luo Tianrui's chin, "You are quite attractive."

Luo Tianrui smiled but said nothing.

Looking at this smile, Yang Shu has become somewhat immune after spending some time together, but others don't. There was a bang, and someone wailed: "I fell into the ditch!"

"Hahahaha..." Yang Shu's laughter point was originally low, and now it was more like someone in a martial arts novel who had his laugh point pressed, and he couldn't stop laughing.

Luo Tianrui said that as long as Yang Shu was happy, he didn't care about anything else.

"Is this person crazy?" someone said. A

companion said: "Shh, keep your voice down, they are superpowers."

After hearing this, Yang Shu didn't want to laugh again. Superpowers, are they amazing? They are so scared.

"Let's go back and take a look first?" Since they are in Kyoto, the house they lived in before should still be there. Even if it is not, we have to see if there are any familiar people there now.

Luo Tianrui also had this idea, "Yes."

Yang Shu didn't know the way, and Luo Tianrui didn't know the layout of Kyoto after the major changes, so he took out the manual and looked at it. There were a few general road signs on it, and he barely found the place with these road signs.

Why do you say barely?

Although the land in front of them was where they lived, the house was obviously not. Both the outside and the inside were different from before.

"Should we go ask others?" To be honest, they didn't even know what year and month it was.

"Go to the restaurant and ask."

"Okay."

Yang Shu looked down at his clothes and decided to find a corner to change his body before going out, so that he and Luo Tianrui would not look like lovers but a young master and a servant.

After changing clothes and coming out, there were indeed fewer people watching them, but there were not none, after all, Luo Tianrui was handsome.

The restaurants and hotels here were opened together. There were only five in the whole of Kyoto. Those who could afford to live there were the masters, and those who couldn't afford to live there could only live with the homeless in the back streets. If they lost their arms and legs in the middle of the night, it had nothing to do with others.

When Yang Shu heard these words for the first time, he felt that either their alliance of superpowers had collapsed, or they had no real power, otherwise how could the city be so chaotic? Even Commander Li's military district three would not be in the current situation. They didn't want to pay attention to the outside world, but just lived in their own world. They were stepped on by people with higher status and then stepped on people with weaker status. This made Yang Shu feel very uncomfortable.

No matter how uncomfortable he was, he still had to ask questions. The best way was to ask the hotel waiter.

Fortunately, the waiter in the hotel was quite considerate. When he heard that they wanted to ask for some information, he directly quoted the price: "Ten bullets, or a crystal core of a third-level zombie. You can ask anything you want. There is no one in Kyoto who doesn't know about it."

"Is this okay?" Yang Shu took out a piece of high-quality jade and asked.

The waiter took it and looked at it carefully, then smiled and said, "This is very good, it's okay."

Yang Shu looked at Luo Tianrui and motioned him to ask.

Looking deeply at the waiter with eyes as blue as the sky, Luo Tianrui asked, "Who is in power in Kyoto now?"

The waiter said with empty eyes, "The three former military regions were merged into the Maintenance Army, which is jointly ruled by Commander Yun and Commander Li. However, the wife of the eldest young master of the Luo family has a lot of say and is also a considerable force."

Yang Shu frowned and asked, "What about the former Superpower Alliance?"

The waiter paused and said, "After the second young master of the Luo family and his lover disappeared, the alliance was gradually squeezed out of Kyoto and is now stationed in Xing'an City."

After hearing the word "back then", Yang Shu had a bad feeling, "How many years ago was it?"

"Two years ago."

They had only been missing for two hours. Even if the time they spent in the space was included, it was definitely no more than twenty days. Two years had passed here. Yang Shu felt a little confused.

Luo Tianrui silently withdrew his spiritual power. The waiter scratched his head as if he had forgotten something. Seeing them, he asked, "What would you like to eat?"

Then Yang Shu heard Luo Tianrui say, "Didn't you order a few signature dishes? You've already received the food, and you regret it?"

The waiter was speechless after looking at the fine jade in his hand. How could he forget it after receiving it? But it was his fault for forgetting it, so he could only smile and say, "Don't worry, guests. I'll ask them to bring all the signature dishes."

"It's okay." Luo Tianrui forgave him calmly, and the waiter thanked him repeatedly and left.

Yang Shu, who was watching the whole process, stared at him for a long time, and then said faintly: "Tianrui, you have learned bad things."

Luo Tianrui smiled and poured him a glass of water, explaining: "Looking at his expression, I know we gave too much. In this case, it's okay to ask for a few dishes. It's not like we didn't give anything."

Yang Shu thought so, so he didn't bother about it anymore. He picked up the cup and drank a sip of water. The next second, he spit it out, frowning and sticking out his tongue to look at the cup, "What is this?"

Luo Tianrui thought it was scalded, and paused after hearing the words, "What?"

"It's so bitter and astringent, even harder to drink than tap water." Yang Shu's taste buds have been nurtured by the space, and it would be strange if he could bear to drink such unpalatable water at first.

Luo Tianrui's taste buds are different from Yang Shu's. Yang Shu thinks that the food is delicious, but he feels like chewing wax, and he doesn't feel anything special about the food that he thinks is not delicious. "Then change to another cup."

Perhaps thinking of something, Yang Shu's voice became softer, "It's not that bad if you drink it carefully. Forget it, I've spent money."

Luo Tianrui smiled brightly, "Okay."

It was rare to see Luo Tianrui smile so brightly. Yang Shu was caught off guard by this smile and was hit by it. He was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses. He grabbed his face and said viciously: "From now on, you can only smile at me, do you hear me?"

Luo Tianrui agreed without thinking, "Yeah."

Yang Shu was embarrassed to say that it was his fault for being so obedient. He coughed dryly and changed the subject, "I think after drinking the water, I'm not interested in the so-called signature dish anymore."

"It shouldn't be very delicious either." Luo Tianrui could imagine that the water used to sell money was so bad, let alone the food? But he ate everything the same. Only the fruits and vegetables in Yang Shu's space could taste a little bit, and he didn't care much about the taste.

Yang Shu instantly lost his expectation for the food, and even had a bad face when eating. After taking a bite, he thought that this was food that should not be wasted, so he did not spit it out. The rice tasted like sand, but there was not much salt in the dishes, and there was a fishy smell. How could he eat it? He had

to force himself to eat it even if he couldn't eat it. He had to fill his stomach before thinking about what to do next.

Yang Shu suddenly missed the half of the rotten steamed bread that he stole from the kitchen when he was so hungry. He ate it with relish at that time, and even licked his fingers clean. Compared with the exquisite food in front of him, it was not as delicious as the rotten steamed bread.

Seeing that he was having a hard time eating, Luo Tianrui ate all the food without saying a word, so as not to waste it and not to embarrass Yang Shu.

Yang Shu was very moved by this, and touched Luo Tianrui's stomach, which was still as hard as before, and did not bulge at all. Then I touched my belly. It was almost like a whole piece of abdominal muscles. I felt a little upset.

Chapter 62

After finishing the meal painfully, Yang Shu and Luo Tianrui went to the hotel room to rest under the envious gaze of others. .-

The room was spacious and clean, but a little too simple. There were two beds and two folded quilts, plus a small wardrobe. There were more than ten clothes drying racks in the wardrobe and a not-so-big bathroom with only a shower head and a basin.

"Is this a high-end residence?" Yang Shu felt deeply that he had been cheated.

"Uninterrupted water and electricity, probably a high-end residence."

Yang Shu: "...Oh."

It must be said that what Luo Tianrui said casually was actually true. When a waiter came over, Yang Shu specifically asked about it. He said that water and electricity were supplied here all day, which was much better than other places. Ordinary residences did not have this treatment at all. It was very good to have a bed.

Yang Shu was a little speechless about this. Has the living standard dropped to this level?

There was a lot of news received that day. Yang Shu really needed to find a quiet environment to sort it out. After washing up, he lay on the bed with a faint smell and looked at the ceiling.

"Tianrui, you said we have been out for so long... it is a long time for them, do they still remember us?" Yang Shu did not expect to be lost for two years, and was lucky that the Superpower Alliance was not destroyed. What if they did not remember them?

Luo Tianrui knew that Yang Shu still had feelings for those people, and did not want to be forgotten for no reason, so he comforted him: "Wait a few days to find the map and figure out the situation here, then go over and take a look."

"Okay."

It's funny to say that Yang Shu came here without any worries, but he did not expect to have friends in just a few months.

Yes, friends.

Changing to a new environment, Yang Shu could not fall asleep for a long time, mainly because he was uneasy. For the mysterious cloaked man who didn't know whether to live or die afterwards, and for the words he said, the words that he hadn't thought of for a long time suddenly came to mind. He suddenly opened his eyes in the early morning, and saw Luo Tianrui who had not slept all the time, and asked with a twitch of his brain: "What is a training camp?"

Luo Tianrui paused for a moment because of his incoherent words, thinking that he had a nightmare, and patted Yang Shu's back and said softly: "To concentrate on doing something together is usually to select better talents."

Yang Shu was no longer sleepy, he turned over and sat up, and got Xiao Qi out.

Even though he was called out in the middle of the night, Xiao Qi's chubby face had no expression, but asked in a serious tone: "What's the problem with the host?"

"What do you mean by the doomsday training camp numbered 4848 Earth X028?"

Yang Shu didn't think so much when he first crossed over, but when he thought about the cloaked man's words about selecting people to fill the gaps, he suddenly got the right idea. .

Luo Tianrui frowned slightly, doomsday training camp?

Xiao Qi: "System upgrade, the host has the right to ask. All the people on Earth No. 4848 are undergoing assessments of higher planes, screening out the most suitable people with resources, survival of the fittest, and not wasting the resources of any planet or plane."

These words may be a little difficult for Yang Shu, a time traveler, to understand, but Luo Tianrui understood.

"Survival of the fittest?" Luo Tianrui smiled coldly, "Why do they decide our development?"

Xiao Qi's eyes flashed, judging from the host partner's words, he could answer: "Earth No. 4848 has reached the requirements to be upgraded to a medium plane, but there are still nearly 70% of people who are not qualified to waste resources, so they can only be screened."

"Why do we need to screen after meeting the requirements? It's not possible without upgrading?" Yang Shu couldn't understand this behavior. Killing so many people just to screen out those useful people? "What about the other 30% who died by mistake?"

"That means they are among the 70% who have not yet reached the conditions for upgrading." Xiao Qi's words sounded harsh and cold. There is no such thing as the chosen one.

Only those who survived can meet the conditions. No matter how talented a person was in the past, he is dead and is considered "waste". The survivors, even if they have been drinking, gambling, whoring and smoking, have also met the conditions. How funny? Luo Tianrui was silent for a long time and then said: "Why does the strength of zombies increase after each double sun?" "The double sun is a material ball that promotes evolution, not a real sun. It does not increase the strength of incomplete bodies, but it is easier for incomplete bodies to absorb this material, so they appear to be stronger than humans." Yang Shu thought for a while, "When will it end?" "All ordinary people will die, or all will reach the level of people in the middle plane." Yang Shu opened his mouth, feeling like he didn't know how to start. Luo Tianrui asked, "How many are left?" Xiao Qi's eyes flickered several times before he said, "It's not clear yet." Not many people died in the first three months after the apocalypse, so the second double day accelerated the evolution of zombies and increased their appetite, because evolution requires a lot of energy. Then ordinary people were either forced to become superpowers or became food for zombies, and most of them became zombies, which is what Xiao Qi called incomplete bodies. "What are virtual data and filling loopholes?" Luo Tianrui didn't know if Xiao Qi would know about this, so he just asked tentatively. Xiao Qi was able to give an answer: "This is Earth Training Camp No. 4848. There are many training camps like this. The host partner is virtual data, and the host comes from a low-level ancient plane. The loophole refers to an error in the program for the birth of intelligent life, which needs to be filled by people with excellent luck before the birth of intelligent life." Yang Shu received too much information at once, and his mind was a little confused. After letting Xiao Qi go back, he rested his head on Luo Tianrui's arm for a long time without speaking. In fact, the main reason was that he didn't know how to speak. Luo Tianrui understood some things after getting this information. He was in the state before the birth of intelligent life. If he was lucky, he would be selected to leave and fill the so-called loophole. If there was no loophole, he would become an intelligent life after the training. Suddenly, his face was warm, and Luo Tianrui woke up from his contemplation, looking at Yang Shu with complicated eyes. Yang Shu smiled and said, "Let me kiss you to see if it's a fake person." This sentence successfully made Luo Tianrui laugh. He rubbed Yang Shu's face with his nose intimately, "Is it real or fake?" "Hmm... I don't know, come closer?" Yang Shu said and moved closer, his warm lips pressed against Luo Tianrui's cold lips, carefully touched and then moved away, and then touched forward again, as if playing. "Yeah." Luo Tianrui chuckled and clasped Yang Shu's head with one hand, gradually deepening this light kiss. Over time, the tenderness slowly changed, from comforting each other to biting. Although Yang Shu liked being kissed by Luo Tianrui, he didn't like being at a disadvantage. He got anxious and angry, and his technique couldn't keep up. He accidentally left a tooth mark on Luo Tianrui's lips. The faint smell of blood further stimulated Luo Tianrui's plundering nerves. The ambiguous sound of water could be heard from time to time in the not-so-big room. Fortunately, the sound insulation was OK. Yang Shu felt his body temperature rising, and he felt dizzy from the burning. Luo Tianrui smelled a strong sweet fragrance, which made him want to crush Yang Shu to the bone. Yang Shu was bitten on the neck, and he groaned. It didn't hurt, but it was a little itchy. He subconsciously hugged Luo Tianrui tighter.

The hot skin burned the light-colored thin lips red, but left one red mark after another on them. Yang Shu saw a pair of silver eyes staring at him in a daze. He couldn't help but smile and lean over to kiss her, which completely broke the string of reason in Luo Tianrui's mind...

The scorching sun stubbornly tried to get in through the thick curtains. The big bulge on the bed moved, and a soft hand poked out from it. After a while, the quilt was kicked away, and the person on the bed gasped in pain.

This time Yang Shu didn't have any sleepiness. He frowned and looked at Luo Tianrui, who didn't sleep or feel tired, with resentment. You know, his body recovers very quickly, but he still feels sore in his waist and thighs and weak hands and feet after waking up. What kind of trouble is this?

A trace of guilt flashed across his azure eyes. Luo Tianrui kissed Yang Shu's slightly swollen lips and massaged his waist with his fire and wood abilities. "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

Yang Shu wanted to say that he was hungry, but when he thought of the food he had yesterday, he lost his appetite. He wanted to shake his head, but his stomach kept growling.

Luo Tianrui probably guessed what Yang Shu was thinking, so he asked, "How about I cook some porridge in the space?"

"You know how to cook porridge?" Yang Shu looked at him with surprise and his voice was hoarse. "

Can you tell the difference between rice and salt?" Luo Tianrui said helplessly, "...Yes."

It's not like he has never suffered before. If he didn't know how to cook porridge, he would have died countless times outside. Although most of the food he ate during the mission was compressed biscuits and raw food, he would still make it himself occasionally if he had some time.

After thinking for a while, Luo Tianrui added: "It's not as delicious as what you cook."

"That's good." Yang Shu felt sick as soon as he moved, but he was still quite happy, "It's edible."

They didn't let their husbands cook, but Yang Shu felt that it was unfair for two people to live together and one of them had to pay. He had always wanted to find a husband who was good to him and would help him with work. Yang Shu felt that he was finally getting lucky after being unlucky for so long.

Before Luo Tianrui got up, put on his clothes and went to cook porridge, Yang Shu hugged him and kissed him, smiling: "Meeting you is the luckiest thing for me, much better than Xiao Qi. No matter if you are a human, a zombie or a string of non-existent numbers in the eyes of others, in my eyes, you are Luo Tianrui, my best and cutest husband."

After listening, Luo Tianrui looked silly, staring at Yang Shu blankly, and didn't say anything.

Yang Shu felt even cuter, and a little embarrassedly went back into bed, "Hurry up and make something to eat, or I'll starve to death."

"Okay." Luo Tianrui felt that the darkness of the whole world was dispelled by a beam of light called Yang Shu.

It's great to meet you in this life.

Chapter 63

The porridge is still delicious.

It is not burnt, fragrant and soft. It is filled with mushrooms, bacon shreds, and some cabbage, plus a stack of scallion egg pancakes. Yang Shu is very satisfied with the food. As for the egg pancakes being a little salty... Yang Shu said it doesn't matter. Anyway, the little husband makes the best egg pancakes. If you haven't eaten them, your objection is invalid.

When they were in the hotel, they didn't forget to get information. On the surface, the waiter said it very clearly, but in fact, you still have to ask other people, or go and see for yourself, because some things are not something a waiter can know.

Looking at it this way, they really see something. For example, Commander Li and Commander Yun go to Gu Chen's place every week. Even if there are rumors that they are having an affair, they are not moved. I don't know why.

After a few days of rest, Yang Shu probably figured it out. They don't know what brought them back. After two years, other things have not changed. It is the same as what they know. The subsequent development is not very optimistic.

After Yang Shu and Luo Tianrui were determined to be missing, Zhang Qian developed a medicine for the epidemic. After solving the problem, he became very popular. Many people offered him olive branches, but Zhang Qian did not want to continue researching day and night. He just wanted to eat delicious food every day and live a retirement life. He said that he had joined the Superpower Alliance.

Therefore, many people watched eagerly, waiting to see if Luo Tianrui would come back, but unexpectedly, there was no news for two consecutive months. Shi Guangxuan and Yang Fei were looking for them on the one hand, and they were also suppressed by various forces on the other hand. At first, they all endured it, thinking that they would just wait for the two bosses to come back, but there was no news. Those people no longer suppressed them secretly, but turned to openly.

Many people in the Superpower Alliance left, and there were also those who had been following Shi Guangxuan and believed that Yang Shu would come back. With the support of the big banyan tree, Shi Guangxuan and Qi Jia, they could still barely stand. Later, Gu Chen spread the news that Qi Jia was a half-zombie, and people in Kyoto asked him to leave. In desperation, Shi Guangxuan had to take everyone to leave Kyoto and go to Xing'an City, where he settled and changed the name of the Superpower Alliance to the Big Tree Alliance.

Hearing the name of the Big Tree Alliance, Yang Shu's expression was a little embarrassed, "This is definitely a name given by Shi Guangxuan."

Luo Tianrui's eyes showed a smile, "Yeah."

Yang Shu's heart was very upset, and he said that he should find an opportunity to decide the name of their team. Now it's called the Big Tree Alliance. I didn't know it was the Uncle Alliance...

Thinking of this, Yang Shu made himself laugh and pinched Luo Tianrui's fair cheeks, "It doesn't look like an uncle at all."

Luo Tianrui didn't know where Yang Shu's imagination had gone, so he had to look at him helplessly and let him pinch his face.

The matter was roughly understood, but the fact that two "rich people" came to the hotel and lived in high-end housing for several days was spread by someone. When he heard the news that someone invited them to dinner early in the morning, Yang Shu was a little confused.

"The confidentiality service here is not very good." Yang Shu looked at the waiter who came to pass the message with a bad face and said coldly.

The waiter's forehead was covered with sweat. Nowadays, "rich people" are equal to powerful people. Killing a few ordinary people is just a matter of waving his hand. It would be a lie to say that he is not afraid, but he can't afford to offend that distinguished guest. He just hopes that Yang Shu's temper can be better than that of the distinguished guest. "This... the distinguished guest said that he will be in the private room on the third floor in an hour."

"Humph." Yang Shu rolled his eyes at him.

Anyway, the message has been passed on. The waiter smiled awkwardly and left. As for whether Yang Shu and the others go or not, it is none of his business. He just reminded them that if they want to live a peaceful life in Kyoto in the future, they'd better go and have a look.

After the waiter left, Yang Shu half leaned on the bed and unconsciously played with his long hair. After a while, a figure appeared in front of the window. He stopped and stood up. After confirming that it was Luo Tianrui, he said, "Someone just said that we are invited to dinner."

"Yes, it's Gu Chen." Luo Tianrui put his arm around Yang Shu's waist and quickly jumped down from the upstairs. As he walked, he said, "He is expanding his manpower and talking nonsense. I suspect he is not from here."

Yang Shu was stunned. "Is he a time traveler like me?"

"It seems so." Luo Tianrui thought of what he heard downstairs. Is the Zombie King a villain? His identity really has a significant impact on this so-called virtual world. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh sarcastically.

"Then why are we running?" This is what Yang Shu wanted to ask. Were we discovered? Impossible, with Luo Tianrui's skills, it was already very good that he didn't kill Gu Chen quietly, why did he run?

Luo Tianrui did not stop, but took out a red crystal from his arms. It had similar energy fluctuations to the green crystal he had absorbed before, and contained a lot of energy. "They had already discovered it when I brought it out of the research institute. I heard from Gu Chen that it was one of the source crystals."

"The one you absorbed that day was also a source crystal?" Without mentioning this, Yang Shu forgot to ask him how he got so badly injured. Yang Shu thought that Luo Tianrui had just encountered a stronger opponent than him, and after winning, he took out the opponent's crystal core. What source crystal is he talking to him about now? What the hell?

"Well, I found it from an eighth-level mutant vine in a cave."

Originally, Luo Tianrui only noticed a strange energy fluctuation and wanted to check the situation. He didn't intend to alert the enemy. Who knew that it was actually a trap signal sent by the vine, and they would rush over when he passed by. The vine was covered with dense barbs, and it was no different from steel when it was swung over. If an ordinary psychic came over in two strokes, he would be able to shed a layer of skin, and he almost couldn't hold it.

Yang Shu looked at the fiery red source crystal curiously. The energy was indeed huge. "Do you want to absorb it?"

"Here you go."

Luo Tianrui didn't want to experience the feeling of Yang Shu being almost swallowed by the flames again in his life. Only by making Yang Shu stronger could he feel relieved.

"But it's a waste for me to absorb it without superpowers. No matter how great my ability is, it's just better healing ability and a stronger body." Although Yang Shu was very curious about the source crystal, he didn't want to absorb it. This thing was obviously more valuable to Luo Tianrui.

"It's better to have a stronger body." Luo Tianrui looked at his waist meaningfully.

Yang Shu followed his line of sight and his face darkened. Is he saying that his waist is not good? Don't think about it. Can the best body withstand the torment of a zombie who doesn't need to eat or sleep and can be energetic as long as there is energy?

"It's better." Luo Tianrui said this very calmly. If Gu Chen knew, he would definitely be upset. A good source crystal was said like a ten-fold tonic soup. It would be strange if he didn't feel upset.

"... Let's forget it." Yang Shu finished and gave him a serious analysis. "I can now speed up the absorption of the surrounding energy. I really don't need the source crystal. Otherwise, I will definitely not be polite to you. What's the relationship between us? Right? Your identity is more dangerous than mine. Qi Jia is just a half-zombie, but so many people exclude you. You know you are the most powerful zombie. They will definitely vent their anger on you. What should I do then? Therefore, it is most useful for you to improve your strength. What's more, I am not in such a hurry to use it. This source crystal has the same effect as me practicing and absorbing jade with my skills. Why waste it?"

Luo Tianrui insisted unusually, "Don't waste it."

"Then keep it first." Yang Shu didn't want to hesitate any more. If no one of them was willing to absorb it, then keep it first. Anyway, there is no rush.

Luo Tianrui sighed lightly, "Okay."

"Where are we going now?" Yang Shu didn't forget the miserable situation when he entered the city before. The military defense of Kyoto was still in place. He almost died in it.

"Go to Xing'an City. I have a defense distribution map of the entire Kyoto, and I will be able to get out soon."

Luo Tianrui has been in Kyoto for quite a while. Apart from missions, he has been in Kyoto most of the time. However, he does not miss this place very much, not even one-fifth of what he had in Xing'an City. Of course, he likes the cabin that Yang Shu built himself more, but it was blown up and not repaired later.

Thinking of the peaceful days in Xing'an City, Yang Shu smiled with curved eyebrows, "Okay."

The fifth floor of the research institute.

After a burst of noise, Gu Chen's angry voice came, "A bunch of useless things! What's the safest place in the country? Bullshit!"

The three people who were reprimanded were silent. They were also very depressed. They didn't know that someone could sneak into the place where the source crystal was stored quietly. If the source crystal had not been gone and automatically triggered the mechanism, they might not have known that the things had been stolen.

After waiting for a long time, one of them said, "The whole city is under martial law now, he should still be in the city." "

Should?" Gu Chen stared at him fiercely, "I want him to leave his life in Kyoto! Why don't you go find him quickly? Do you have to wait until he leaves before looking for him?"

"Yes!" The three immediately stood up and responded.

Suddenly thinking of something, Gu Chen said, "Wait a minute."

The three people who were about to go out stopped at the same time and looked at him in confusion.

The haze on Gu Chen's face had not yet dissipated. He gently stroked his fingers and said, "Go to the nearest hotel and ask them if the two people are still there." "

Yes."

For some reason, Gu Chen always felt that something was wrong with the two people, and he suddenly panicked. He has become more cautious than before. He must make things clear when he is suspicious and believe in his intuition.

After hearing the news from his subordinates that the two people had left, Gu Chen became more convinced of his thoughts and asked someone to describe their appearance. After listening to it, he was so angry that his teeth itched.

What Luo Shu and Yang Rui? That's Yang Shu and Luo Tianrui!

They can actually come back...

Gu Chen was sure that the villain couldn't beat the protagonist before, but he saw Wei Le's body, which disappeared without making any waves. Is this the legendary protagonist halo? If so, he could only laugh.

Now the situation is getting more and more out of control. No matter what happens next, he must get the source crystal back and never let them get ahead again!

Chapter 64

"Ah--"

In the vast desert, Yang Shu rubbed his itchy nose while running. Who is talking about him again?

"Cold?" Luo Tianrui asked with a frown.

Yang Shu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Sneezing means being sick? It may be because the wind is too strong."

Most people would like to ask, what is the relationship between strong wind and sneezing?

However, Luo Tianrui automatically interpreted it-the strong wind made it dry, and the raised sand blew into the nose, causing a sneeze.

Is there something wrong? No problem.

Even if they traveled day and night, it would take two days to arrive. The problem was that Yang Shu felt that there was no need to rush. They couldn't walk, so they just worked hard to travel during the day. Because

of Luo Tianrui, the zombies and mutants didn't dare to approach, saving a lot of trouble along the way, but there were also some blind people.

A fire illuminated half of the desert. Yang Shu held a roasted rat leg sprinkled with cumin in his hand, and the fragrance was fragrant.

This big rat was blind, so Yang Shu grilled it. After peeling off the needle-like fur on the outside, the meat inside was surprisingly tender, not as hard as before.

When Luo Tianrui came back with a big wild boar, he saw Yang Shu biting the rat meat, with a satisfied and comfortable look on his face. After

seeing Luo Tianrui, Yang Shu waved to him happily and patted the place next to him. "Come here, this rat meat is delicious, very tender."

"Yeah." Luo Tianrui put the big wild boar aside. The bloody smell was a bit strong, which made the aroma of the barbecue covered a lot.

Although he couldn't taste anything, Luo Tianrui still took a bite of it and praised Yang Shu's cooking skills. "It's delicious."

Yang Shu smiled and said, "I thought it would be hard, but I didn't expect it to be so tender. It's just a little chewier than the field mouse meat I ate a long time ago."

"Yeah."

Sparks jumped in the firewood pile, making crackling sounds. It was so quiet all around. After killing all the mice, the wild boar was put into the space to be roasted tomorrow. Then I went back to the space to take a shower and sleep.

I have to say that it is really nice to have a space. At least there is a place to sleep when you are out in the open, and you don't need to bring your own luggage.

The next day, I got up early, took a deep breath, and came out to see yellow sand all over the place.

Yang Shu was almost used to it, and shook his head and prepared to leave with Luo Tianrui.

"Wait a minute." Luo Tianrui suddenly stopped and said.

"Huh?" Yang Shu looked confused.

Luo Tianrui smiled slightly, "You can take a ride today."

Yang Shu "???"

Ten minutes later, there was a rumbling sound in the distance, as if a group of something was running over, and it was not small in size.

When Yang Shu got closer, he could see clearly that it was a group of three or four meters tall horses with stripes all over their bodies and strange appearance. They ran very fast, raising countless wind and sand.

"What is this? Horse?" Yang Shu's eyes widened. He really didn't want to classify this creature as a horse. To be honest, it was a bit ugly, but it was also a little cute in its ugliness. Ugly and cute, ugly and cute is like this.

Luo Tianrui smiled and said, "Zebra."

Yesterday, I wanted to get a zebra to eat, but they ran a little too fast. I didn't expect that one would come to my door early this morning. In that case, I'd better take a free mount.

Yang Shu was silent for a long time. They are all horses, why is Bai Xue so much more beautiful? ! Thinking of Bai Xue, I don't know how she is doing now...

Before Yang Shu could feel sad for long, the zebras got closer and saw the opportunity to jump directly onto the back of the leading zebra.

The leading zebra started to twist its body crazily and kept calling out after knowing that there were two more people on its back. Finally, Luo Tianrui shocked it and it was quiet.

Yang Shu almost shook his breakfast out. Well, not as steady as Bai Xue.

This group of zebras was going in the same direction as them. After the leading zebra was quiet, the other zebras also calmed down and continued to move forward as if they had forgotten about them. When they deviated from the direction, Luo Tianrui would shock the big zebra and then continue to run.

Halfway through the run, Yang Shu suddenly felt something was wrong. "Why are so many mutant beasts running away?"

He thought the zebra herd was an exception, but there were indeed many mutant herds around. Yes, they were still in groups. When he was bored on the back of the big zebra, Yang Shu counted them. The smallest group of wild boars had 20. Why did they all run into the desert?

"Maybe there is a mutation." Luo Tianrui was not sure. In this case, the possibility of a natural disaster is greater than the possibility of encountering a strong enemy.

Yang Shu nodded, "I want to say something, but Qi Jia said that this sentence can't be said casually."

"Huh?"

"I have a bad feeling."

Luo Tianrui "..."

"Haha, just kidding."

Time passed very quickly while talking. Although the zebra herd was a little crazy, its speed was still amazing. Yang Shu had already seen the outline of Xing'an City from a distance.

At this time, on the wall of Xing'an City.

"Not good! Seventh Brother!" A young man shouted in a jumpy voice.

The man sitting on the wall typing casually said, "What's

going on?" "There is a group of mutant beasts running towards us on the opposite side!" The young man was so anxious that his voice was trembling.

Qi Jia suddenly stopped, looked up at the opposite side, and instead of calling for help in shock, he smiled.

The young man opened his eyes wide and asked in disbelief, "Seventh Brother, are you okay?"

Seeing this situation, shouldn't he call people over and be ready to fight at any time? Why are you still laughing?

Qi Jia silently rolled his eyes at him, but still couldn't stop smiling, "What do you know? Go and call everyone up."

"Okay!"

The young man went down quickly, but heard the second half of the sentence, "Just say that our two eloped bosses are back."

The young man stumbled and fell down, fortunately the wind-type supernatural below used the wind to cushion him, otherwise he would have broken his legs. The pain in his body was terrible, but the young man howled on the city wall as if he didn't feel it, "Seventh Brother! What do you mean?" Qi Jia stood up

and stood on the city wall looking into the distance. After a while, he smiled and said, "They are back."

"Who?" A figure landed beside Qi Jia, with a slightly puzzled tone.

Qi Jia raised his chin, "Here, the missing persons."

"Brother Yang and Brother Luo are back?!" Shi Guangxuan's eyes lit up, and after looking at the group of wind and sand, he excitedly jumped down from the wall and headed towards the opposite side.

Qi Jia "...Fool."

Those who didn't know what was going on watched Shi Guangxuan running towards the herd of zebras like a madman. One person couldn't help but sigh, "Guangxuan is really energetic. He just chopped off a sixth-level fox and then chopped off a big zebra."

"Huh? Didn't this kid say he was tired?"

"Who knows?"

Yang Shu, who was sitting on the big zebra, felt the familiar energy fluctuations from afar. When he saw a figure rushing towards this side quickly, he held it in for a long time and uttered a sentence, "Is that kid crazy?"

Hearing this, Luo Tianrui just smiled faintly.

Shi Guangxuan's speed was more than several times faster than before. He waved the whip in his hand and shouted excitedly, "Brother Yang! Brother Luo!"

This scene was hilarious no matter how you look at it. Yang Shu laughed out loud, "Tian Rui, do you think we should shout at him too?"

"Forget it." It was such a short distance away. Wouldn't it be like a fool to keep shouting?

Yang Shu had never thought of riding a zebra into Xing'an City. With Shi Guangxuan coming over, they abandoned the zebra even faster.

The leading zebra felt lighter and ran away quickly, fearing that they would climb onto its back again.

Shi Guangxuan stood on a sand dune, panting, looking at the two of them happily, not even feeling the trembling calves. "It's really you."

"It's not us, why are you still shouting?" Yang Shu saw that he looked pitiful because he was so skinny and sweaty, so he took a peach from the space and gave it to him, "Eat something?"

"Thank you, Brother Yang." Shi Guangxuan caught the big peach, rubbed it on his clothes and took a big bite, almost crying with happiness, "Brother Yang, you are finally back, if you don't come back, I will be so greedy."

Yang Shu rolled his eyes at him, "So you are here just for food? Give me back the peach."

Shi Guangxuan finished a big peach in three or four bites, and said with a smile, "No, I don't miss you too much."

"Don't come on, go back quickly, it's so hot." Yang Shu felt stupid standing on the yellow sand pile and talking in the middle of the day.

"Okay!"

The newly built Xing'an City is much smaller than the previous one, but the solidity and height of the city wall are beyond words.

When he was about to reach the city gate, the big iron gate that was always closed opened. Looking at those familiar or unfamiliar faces, Yang Shu suddenly felt a surge of emotion. It turned out that he also had friends.

Qi Jia stood at the gate and smiled at them, "Welcome home."

Yang Shu looked at him for a long time before saying, "I almost thought you didn't recognize me."

"How is that possible?" Shi Guangxuan blinked at him, "If we even forgot the boss, we would be too stupid, right? Besides, even if we forgot, don't we still have Rongrong, Baixue and Dahuang?"

"Okay, let's go back quickly, the sun is so hot." Yang Shu took a deep breath and said, trying to hold back the tears that were about to overflow.

"Okay!"

At noon, the big wild boar that Luo Tianrui killed last night was roasted, and there were also a bunch of fruits and vegetables that he was reluctant to eat. After making dozens of dishes, a group of people gathered around the table to eat.

Zhang Qian, who was always lazy, also became energetic. After a group of people got drunk, he grabbed Yang Shu's arm and said, "If you don't come back, I will lose a lot."

After entering the pit, I realized that the water was supplied by Yang Shu. Without good water, the dishes would not be so delicious. In the past two years, Zhang Qian felt very sad.

"I will definitely come back." Yang Shu wanted to say that this was just an accident, but he didn't know where to start.

"Today's food is so delicious." Zhang Qian was also drunk and fell asleep with a bowl in his arms, still muttering that it was delicious.

This lunch was the most comfortable meal they had had in two years. Not only was it delicious, but mainly because the person in charge was back and he wasn't as confused as before. Especially Shi Guangxuan, who cried and pulled Yang Shu and said, "Brother Yang, I was so tired when you were away, but I didn't dare to say I was tired, because they all pointed at me for food, sob... " The

sudden sob made Yang Shu almost spit out his food. Seeing Shi Guangxuan's changed appearance, he finally just patted his shoulder comfortingly. When he raised his eyes, he saw Luo Tianrui who had been dragged to drink and smiled.

It's good to be back.

Chapter 65

The meal lasted until the afternoon, and the newcomers also met the two legendary bosses. Apart from other things, this strength alone has been unanimously recognized by everyone, not to mention the unreserved support of the highest-ranking people. The boss who can make his subordinates miss him so much must not be very bad. After seeing the real person, everyone was basically relieved.

The villa is still the same villa, but some things and furnishings have been changed, and their room has not been moved at all. After opening the door, Yang Shu was a little surprised. It was exactly the same as he remembered.

"We haven't touched your things. Someone comes to clean every day. Tell us if you need anything." Qi Jia opened the door and leaned against it.

Yang Shu nodded after looking at it, "Basically there is nothing missing."

Qi Jia smiled, hesitated and asked, "Where did you go at the beginning?"

"Do you believe me when I say you were abducted by aliens?" Yang Shu said half-jokingly.

Qi Jia thought for a while and shrugged, "Why not? The end of the world has come, so it's not that hard to accept aliens."

Yang Shu looked at Luo Tianrui, "Well... they were indeed captured, and it only took us a few days, but it took you two years, understand?"

"Travel through time?" Qi Jia thought of many reasons for their departure, one of which was that they traveled to another world, but he didn't expect that they traveled to two years later. This operation... was suffocating. "

Yeah." Yang Shu also knew that it was ridiculous, but the fact was that he had no choice.

Qi Jia was silent for a long time and said, "It seems that my imagination needs to be bigger."

Yang Shu's mouth twitched, and he didn't know what to say.

"Okay, you guys take a good rest, and figure things out slowly later, don't rush." ​​Anyway, no matter whether Yang Shu said it was true or false, now was not a good time to talk, and it would be possible to sort out the whole story by calming down first.

"Okay."

After such a long journey, Yang Shu was indeed exhausted physically and mentally, and there were many things in his mind that he hadn't figured out completely.

After closing the door, taking a shower and changing into pajamas, Yang Shu smelled the familiar yet strange warm smell. He rolled over several times on the bed, and finally lay down in the soft quilt, not wanting to move, and wanted to hum comfortably.

"Go to sleep if you are tired." Luo Tianrui gently covered his eyes.

"Well, then I will sleep

for a while." After the body relaxed, sleepiness overwhelmed him, and Yang Shu fell asleep in a short while.

After Yang Shu fell asleep, Luo Tianrui suddenly looked at the window, and saw a tender green branch quietly poking in. He whispered, "Fall asleep."

The branch rolled around the window several times before leaving, and before leaving, it gently stroked the back of Luo Tianrui's hand, like a naughty child.

Luo Tianrui stared at the back of his hand for a while, his eyes gentle.

A line of sight fell on him. Luo Tianrui looked up and paused slightly when he saw the source of the sight...

After a relaxing sleep, Yang Shu opened his eyes and felt that the whole world was different. He no longer felt lost as he had in the past few days. He was just startled when he woke up.

When he woke up and saw his little husband holding a child who looked like him and feeding him water, Yang Shu was indeed scared, but he quickly realized that it was Xiaolu.

"Tianrui, is Xiaolu okay?" After being away for such a long time, Yang Shu didn't know what this legendary puppet would become. It was actually bigger than the one he had seen before, and it was not that he didn't grow slowly.

Luo Tianrui shook his head, but he looked like he wanted to say something but stopped.

It was rare to see him so entangled. Yang Shu jumped out of bed and sat beside him and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Go ask Yuan Fan what's wrong with this puppet. He seems... not quite right." Luo Tianrui couldn't tell what he felt. He became different from before and more lively.

"Hmm?" Yang Shu held Xiao Lu in one hand and weighed him. After looking left and right, he said, "He's fatter."

Xiao Lu blinked his big, wet eyes and looked at them eagerly. After a while, he stretched out his chubby little hands and pinched Yang Shu's cheeks. He smiled with curved eyebrows and called out in a baby voice, "Dad..."

Yang Shu "!!!"

This call of "Dad" made Yang Shu quickly contact Yuan Fan. Fortunately, Yuan Fan just came out of the alchemy and didn't hear any inappropriate sounds.

"Xiao Lu, he...he called me dad!" It was the first time that Yang Shu met a child calling him dad. The most important thing was that this child looked like Luo Tianrui. It felt like Luo Tianrui was calling him dad... Horrible!

Yuan Fan "Hmm?"

Yang Shu held Xiao Lu in front of the panel, "See if there is anything wrong."

Yuan Fan looked at it carefully for a long time and asked, "Did you give him anything to eat?"

"I don't know."

After hearing this, Yuan Fan's face was black. How could he judge?

Yang Shu slapped his head, "I'm confused. I'll go ask them first and get back to you later."

Before Yuan Fan could speak, Yang Shu was offline.

Yuan Fan: "..."

Please leave him alone, crab.

After washing up, Yang Shu carried Xiao Lu to find Qi Jia, who had just returned from training. Seeing Yang Shu's energetic look, he smiled and said, "What are you rushing to do?"

"Well, Qi Jia, what do you usually feed Xiao Lu? He actually called me dad!" Yang Shu felt that he couldn't express his shock without tens of thousands of exclamation marks.

Qi Jia was more shocked than him, "Isn't it normal for Xiao Lu to call you dad? Could it be that he called me dad?"

"No..." Yang Shu felt deeply powerless.

Seeing that he was so happy, Qi Jia stopped teasing him and said, "We usually only feed him some crystal cores. He doesn't eat food, but we have to feed him. If he is hungry, won't you be heartbroken when you come back? This child is good in everything, but he eats a little too much crystal cores. Apart from eating crystal cores, he doesn't need anyone to take care of him. He can lie in bed all day without crying, making trouble, or changing diapers."

Yang Shu looked at Qi Jia and then at Xiao Lu, who looked innocent, "... In fact, it's okay not to feed him."

"He will cry." Qi Jia seemed to think of some terrible scene, and his whole body trembled.

"Cry?" Yang Shu stared at the little ball in his arms and asked curiously, "Cry for a while and see?"

Qi Jia was about to say that he wouldn't cry if he wasn't hungry, but before he could say anything, he saw Xiao Lu pouting. He subconsciously covered his ears, but the magic sound still reached his ears, which was a little too sharp.

As for Yang Shu?

Yang Shu felt a burst of magic sound filling his ears, and his ears were buzzing. "Stop——"

Xiao Lu stopped obediently, blinked and looked at him, without a tear in the corner of his eyes.

Yang Shu: "..."

"Is Xiaolu hungry again?" Shi Guangxuan jumped down from the upstairs with a handful of crystal cores. He didn't even look at whose hands they were. He stuffed a crystal core directly into her. His speed was so fast and his movements were so smooth.

Qi Jia held his forehead helplessly. He didn't want to know this idiot.

Xiaolu bit the crystal core with a well-behaved look on his face.

Under Yang Shu's gaze, Xiaolu easily broke the crystal core into pieces, just like chewing crisp bones, without any effort at all. Yang Shu then realized that Xiaolu's big white teeth were not only for good looks, but also very sharp and strong.

Maybe because Yang Shu's gaze was too focused, Xiaolu shyly twisted her body and took a crystal core from Shi Guangxuan and gave it to Yang Shu, "Dad...eat, eat."

"...good boy." Yang Shu was really touched, "You can eat it yourself, I can't bite it."

Xiaolu blinked and chewed it up to eat obediently.

After accepting the fact that the puppet had become his son, Yang Shu wiped his face. He thought carelessly, what's the big deal, isn't it just another son? After all, he is also related to the young husband by blood, so it's okay to raise him as a son. He

didn't have to give birth to a fat white child himself. After Yang Shu calmed down, he felt that it was pretty good, especially when he saw that Xiaolu was so obedient and sensible, his seven points of love became ten points.

After listening to Yang Shu's words, Yuan Fan was silent for a long time, and finally said seriously, "Maybe it has opened its spiritual intelligence. If you like, you can continue to use crystal cores or spiritual water to raise it. After a while, it will have a normal person's mind and body, but it may not be suitable to be a substitute puppet. If you don't want it, you can erase his consciousness now, and he can continue to be a puppet."

Yang Shu paused his hand that was playing with Xiaolu, and after a while he said, "Forget it, it's good to raise it."

Yuan Fan nodded and said no more.

"By the way, I'm free recently. Do you have any herbs you need to grow?" Yuan Fan made the herbs for them very straightforwardly. Yang Shu didn't like to owe others, so he asked when he remembered this.

"Yes, but that kind of herbs is more troublesome to take care of and takes a lot of time."

Yang Shu didn't care. "It's okay. Just tell me the steps in detail."

"Okay."

Yuan Fan handed Yang Shu a small bag of golden seeds and explained the planting steps one by one. After listening, Yang Shu repeated it to him and planted it carefully in the ground in front of him. He was actually praised for being smart.

In fact, Yang Shu wanted to say that this was not technically difficult and was much simpler than planting grain.

Through the panel, Yuan Fan saw a large area of ​​golden rice fields and a large area of ​​fruit trees, and said with some envy, "It's great."

"The fruit is delicious. Do you want one?" Yang Shu casually gave him a big peach, and picked one and rubbed it on his clothes and took a big bite. It was sweet and juicy, and very thirst-quenching.

Yuan Fan looked at the peach in his hand and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He wasn't the shy person, so he rubbed it and took a bite. A faint spiritual energy flowed through his mouth and all over his body. He suddenly opened his eyes wide, "Spiritual fruit?!"

"Huh?" Yang Shu looked at him in confusion, "Isn't it just a peach?"

Yuan Fan "... Believe me, ordinary peaches don't have spiritual energy at all."

Although the spiritual energy of peaches is very little, it is very pure, and it is the best for warming the meridians.

"Maybe it's because of the trader?" Yang Shu didn't feel any spiritual energy, but he felt that it was bigger and tastier than ordinary peaches.

Yuan Fan nodded slightly, stared at the peach in his hand for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Yang Shu, are you interested in doing a deal?"

Chapter 66

"Trade?" Yang Shu tilted his head to look at him, as if puzzled.

Yuan Fan smiled slightly and explained, "I have an elder's son here. He is born with deficiencies and has been weak and sick since childhood. He usually needs to be nourished with spiritual energy, but there are few spiritual fruits that are so pure that ordinary people can absorb spiritual energy without worries. Most of the spiritual fruits here are medicinal fruits, and their properties are uneven. The elder asked me to refine medicine. I have elixirs that can cure him, but I am worried that his body can't withstand the medicinal properties, so I want to exchange some of these spiritual fruits with you for him to eat for a while. The things that the elder gave are very good. He can choose a spiritual tool and a ten thousand year old medicinal material at will. If you agree, I want the medicinal material and you want the spiritual tool. How about it?"

The spiritual tool... sounds like a good thing.

Yang Shu said straightforwardly, "How much do you want?"

"One hundred peaches." Yuan Fan knew that there were many fruits in Yang Shu's trading device, but he couldn't shout blindly. For Yang Shu, ordinary peaches can still be sold at sky-high prices here. One hundred is a reasonable price.

Yang Shu thought he wanted thousands of peaches. "...Okay."

A peach weighed about one pound, and it was quite a lot when piled up. But Yang Shu looked at the countless peaches on the tree, and silently gave dozens more, "Take it first. If a hundred is enough, I'll give you the rest. If not, ask me for more."

"Okay." Yuan Fan took it and asked, "Do you have any detoxification pills?"

"I still have several bottles." I gave some away during the epidemic, and the rest were kept in the space and not eaten much.

Yuan Fan thought for a while, "I was studying the Guidan the other day. It's a pill that can be used for self-defense. It can also disguise a person into another appearance. It can last for a month. If you want to remove it, take an antidote. Do you want it?"

"It sounds good. Give me a few."

This exchange may seem a bit deliberate to others, but for the two people who are not very good at dealing with others, this is their way of building friendship. Friends, there must be give and take.

The towering banyan tree provided a large area of ​​shade in the backyard. When Yang Shu came out of the space, he saw Luo Tianrui sitting under the big banyan tree and watering it with an expressionless face. Although he had a stern face, his movements were very gentle. Bai Xue was eating grass under the tree, her fur was as white as snow. On the tree lay a lazy three-tailed orange cat with a slightly fat belly.

All the branches of the big banyan tree revealed happiness, and they moved without wind. Qi Jia and Yang Shu could clearly hear it singing "Dear~ Yang Yang's~ partner~~ I like you so much~"

The ecstatic wave sound made Yang Shu want to laugh, especially when he saw Luo Tianrui watering the trees with a serious face, he really couldn't help it.

"What are you laughing at?" Luo Tianrui couldn't hear the song of the big banyan tree, but it didn't mean that he couldn't hear Yang Shu's laughter.

Yang Shu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and shook his head, "Nothing... Hahaha..."

Xiao Lu didn't know what he was laughing at and laughed along. Luo Tianrui looked at the happy appearance of the big and small and smiled faintly.

"What a happy family of three." Shi Guangxuan, who had just returned from patrolling outside, exclaimed sincerely.

"Oh, Guangxuan wants to start a family?" He Yi, who was following behind, joked after hearing this.

Shi Guangxuan's face was a little hot, and he subconsciously glanced at Qi Jia, who was typing under the shade of the tree, "Ahem... don't talk nonsense."

He Yi smiled, and that look said it all.

After Yang Shu stuffed Xiao Lu to Luo Tianrui, he jumped onto the branch of the big banyan tree, picked up the big orange cat and started to play with it.

"Meow..." The big orange cat looked at Yang Shu with contempt, shook its tail, and changed direction to continue lying.

"Tsk, you want to dig a hole again?" Yang Shu poked the fat belly, saying that all cats are bloated, and he thought this cat was solid.

The big orange cat then reluctantly rubbed Yang Shu's leg with its tail, and said in a good manner, "Meow~"

"So good." Yang Shu stroked the cat with satisfaction.

Luo Tianrui held Xiaolu and put him on Baixue's back. The little guy was not afraid at all. He giggled and hugged Baixue's neck, and his two short legs were shaking. It

was light and peaceful. Thinking back to yesterday, it was just like an illusory dream.

The situation in Xing'an City is much more stable than that in Kyoto. The main reason is that the population is small. There are only a thousand people in the whole Xing'an City, which is convenient for management and they work hard. The mutant plants developed by Zhang Qian can survive tenaciously, so there is yellow sand everywhere outside, but this place is still an oasis.

"Brother Yang, Brother Luo, this is the current distribution map of Xing'an City. I have recorded who does what. You can get to know each other. I will tell you about the things here." Shi Guangxuan moved a chair and sat under the tree, holding a stack of papers.

"Okay." Yang Shu let the big orange cat go, jumped down from the tree and sat next to Luo Tianrui.

Shi Guangxuan first opened the blueprint and showed it to them. "Currently, Xing'an City is divided into four districts. Two districts are for living, one is for daily training, and the other is for growing crops, surrounding the villa where we live. The new area next to the villa is Brother Zhang's research room. There are many dangerous things in it, and he won't let us touch it."

"Well, don't touch his."

"The seeds of the grains we usually eat were developed by him. They taste better than those in Kyoto, and the survival rate is also quite high. But they must be harvested on time, otherwise they will become aggressive. Harvest once every ten days, and after two harvests, all must be pulled out and new ones planted. Brother Yang, you must have discovered one thing when you came back. The higher the level of the mutant beast, the more tender the meat on its body. Brother Zhang said the same is true for plants. He is now studying how to reduce the aggressiveness of plants."

After Shi Guangxuan finished speaking, he opened the notebook again, "Everyone here is responsible for what task, and they are generally not transferred unless there is an emergency. Now basically everyone has food to eat and something to do. At the beginning, we accepted some outsiders, but many of them committed suicide, so we came up with the idea of ​​making everyone work, even the children have to help sweep the floor."

Yang Shu glanced at them and nodded, and said with a smile, "Well done." "

Hehe." Shi Guangxuan scratched his head embarrassedly, "It's all everyone's credit, I didn't do anything."

"Why are you being modest? Before, there were outsiders who were causing trouble and grabbing territory. Didn't you drive them away?" Zhang Jin felt terrible when he thought about that time. After Xing'an City was built, many superpower teams came. Some said they would join, while others wanted to grab territory and people. They had to grit their teeth and practice. As the main combat force, Shi Guangxuan, Qi Jia and Yang Fei sometimes couldn't sleep for more than a month. It was better for those people to come in broad daylight. The worst thing was that they would throw a few bombs in the middle of the night, which injured many people.

"On the night when Xiaoqi and Xiaofei were delayed by mutant beasts and didn't come back, three groups of people came. If it weren't for you, we would have been gone long ago." Zhang Jin actually admired Shi Guangxuan very much. He was only a little over 18 this year, but he was completely different from before. He became more mature and capable of taking on responsibilities.

"So amazing." Yang Shu patted Shi Guangxuan on the shoulder to show his appreciation.

Luo Tianrui also rarely said "not bad".

"Stop praising me, I'll get cocky if you keep praising me." Qi Jia said coldly, put down the laptop in his hand, drank a sip of water, and looked very happy. Sure enough, life was better when Yang Shu was around, no, it was much better.

"Seventh brother is right, I'll get cocky if you keep praising me." Shi Guangxuan knew his own weight. It was true that he liked to be praised, but he still had self-awareness.

"So obedient." Yang Shu joked and flipped through the personnel book. After reading it, he said, "I'll go and try with Zhang Qian to see if we can make the food taste better."

"With Brother Yang here, there will be no problem." Shi Guangxuan was full of confidence in Yang Shu.

Luo Tianrui stared at the distribution map for a long time, then pointed out several problematic areas. "Improve these areas, and then tell me in detail about your training plan and the pattern of mutant beast attacks."

"Yes, we saw a lot of mutant beasts running towards this side on the road. Do you know what happened?" Yang Shu would have forgotten about it if he hadn't mentioned it. The main reason was that he had a good meal as soon as he came back and slept all day and forgot about it. Thinking of this, Yang Shu felt that his memory was a little poor.

Shi Guangxuan frowned, "We are not sure about this. They seem to be running towards this side. In fact, they rarely attack us. Fengcheng, fifty miles away, is often attacked... I joked with everyone that it might be because there are more people over there and the meat smells good."

"That possibility cannot be ruled out." Yang Shu said, looking at Luo Tianrui meaningfully.

Luo Tianrui understood what Yang Shu meant and nodded slightly to him.

According to Xiao Qi's meaning, only evolved people are qualified to survive, and Xing'an City is basically full of superpowers, and there are few people, so it can be considered to have met the requirements.

Of course, other possibilities cannot be ruled out. We still need to wait and observe to know what exactly is going on.

"Really? Brother Yang, don't scare me. Does this mutant beast know where human flesh is delicious?" Shi Guangxuan shuddered after thinking about it, and it was terrifying to think about it.

"Stupid." Qi Jia threw a stone at him, "You are more timid than a grasshopper."

Shi Guangxuan pouted, aggrieved.

Yang Shu looked at him for a long time and said with a smile, "Please get married here, thank you."

Shi Guangxuan: "..."

On the contrary, Qi Jia raised his eyebrows, "When are you two going to get married?"

"Anytime." Yang Shu smiled brightly.

Luo Tianrui looked at him gently.

"Tsk tsk..." Qi Jia couldn't help rubbing the goose bumps on his arms, "Okay, I'll do it for you in two days, and it will be a big deal."

"Okay." Yang Shu didn't think there was anything wrong with this. Anyway, he didn't have any so-called family, and it was nice to have a group of friends around.

Others lamented about this trend, saying "Time flies."

They actually liked the fact that the two bosses were not hypocritical or pretentious, and it would be even better if their relationship was stable. For them, there are only benefits and no disadvantages.

Chapter 67

After chatting and laughing for a while, it was time to do serious work. Luo Tianrui and Shi Guangxuan and his group went to improve the defense of the villa and the training plan for everyone. Yang Shu and Qi Jia went to Zhang Qian's place to study food.

The house built alone was very large, and there was nothing exquisite. Most of it was tools that Yang Shu didn't know what they were used for.

When entering Zhang Qian's research room, Yang Shu thought he would see a miniature tunnel with many bloody statues and the like, but he didn't expect it to be too neat.

"Is this your house?" Yang Shu was curious, but he didn't move around.

Zhang Qian said with a messy hair, "Can't you tell?"

"I thought you liked bloody statues more." Yang Shu stared at the green bugs in a petri dish for a while, and then looked at the bird with butterfly wings in the glass bottle. "The things here are really strange."

Yang Shu just looked at it without touching it, which made Zhang Qian look much better. He didn't like others to touch his things, and thought that according to Yang Shu's personality, he would touch everywhere, but he didn't expect him to just ask a few questions.

"What's so strange? Didn't zombies with butterfly wings grow in the past? When evolving, they need to devour, then merge, and then the survival of the fittest, degenerate the unwanted parts, integrate the needed parts, and finally form a new individual."

Zhang Qian tapped the bottle of the glass bottle with his finger. The well-behaved bird inside suddenly opened its mouth and screamed shrilly, staring at Yang Shu with a pair of blood-red eyes.

"It seems that the little guy likes you very much." Zhang Qian smiled dotingly, and those who didn't know would think he was smiling at Yang Shu.

Yang Shu "...Oh." Should he feel honored?

After strolling around casually, he got to the point. Zhang Qian asked, "Where did you get that water?"

"Change the question." He asked directly, and Yang Shu answered straightforwardly.

Zhang Qian didn't think that Yang Shu would tell him the truth, so he said, "I found that there is very pure energy in the water. It's not just water energy, but a very pure energy... Can you understand me?"

Yang Shu pursed his lips slightly, "Yes, it's energy without any attributes, very pure."

It's probably the same thing as the spiritual energy that Yuan Fan mentioned...

Zhang Qian nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, I don't know where your water comes from, but I'm sure that this water cannot be condensed by a superpower. This kind of energy can make plants rejuvenate. If the seeds are soaked for a long time, the seeds will evolve to the best germination state, and the ones that grow out will naturally be much better than those grown by hybridization."

"I roughly understand what you mean." But it's not entirely clear how much he understands.

Zhang Qian didn't expect Yang Shu to understand everything. "I want some of this water to soak the seeds I want to plant now, divide it into several cycles, and choose the best one. If you take your time, you don't need to soak the seeds later, and you can use the grown seeds directly. Do you understand?" "

It means that I am responsible for giving you water, and you are responsible for studying the results, right?"

"That's right."

Yang Shu heard him say that he was a little tired, "Then why don't you just tell me how much water you want? Why do you have to say so much?"

Zhang Qian didn't say he was tired, he was tired of listening.

Hearing this, Zhang Qian's mouth twitched, "Isn't it because I'm afraid you won't give me water?"

"Just tell me how much you want." Yang Shu has always been afraid of trouble, so just tell me, why explain so much?

"First, I want a bucket." Zhang Qian was too lazy to say anything.

Yang Shu was about to agree, but Qi Jia said, "Half a bucket, ask for more if it's not enough."

Zhang Qian raised his eyebrows slightly, but Qi Jia's expression was very serious, so he let it go, "Okay then."

Yang Shu didn't understand what they were talking about, and after giving half a bucket of water, he completed the task, "I'll go take a look around."

"I'll take you there, some places have been changed." Qi Jia was afraid that Yang Shu would run into a trap, and he might not get hurt, but what if he got scared?

"Okay."

The newly built Xing'an City is much smaller than before, but the streets are much wider and cleaner, and there are no bloodstains everywhere. If there were no small shops, Yang Shu would have thought he had returned to the world before the end of the world.

It's really hard to associate this place with the end of the world when walking on the road, it's too peaceful.

"Except for the occasional mutant beast attack and some people who want to grab territory for no reason, the rest of the time is very peaceful, as if the end of the world has never happened." Qi Jia said as he walked.

"Are there still people who want to grab territory now?"

The walls of Xing'an City are very strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the people inside are not vegetarians. How could someone want to come and grab territory? Whether to rob or not is one thing, but the cost of conquering Xing'an City is no less than that of building a new one, so why?

Qi Jia blinked, "Why not? There are a lot of them, believe it or not, we just released the news that we went to find someone, and at least three teams of people came to challenge us at night."

"So exaggerated?" Yang Shu had a general understanding of the fact that Xing'an City was a hot commodity.

"This is still considered a small number, do you think we don't want to send people out to find you? We really can't leave. Once we leave, this place will be occupied. We were ambushed outside several times and almost couldn't come back."

Thinking of those days, Qi Jia didn't know how they survived.

Yang Shu felt sad when he heard it, "We are sorry for you in this matter. I just lost my way at that time. The development of things later was out of control. When I came back, I saw a large area of ​​yellow sand and thought I was in the wrong place."

"Speaking of which, you are really pitiful." Suddenly, after traveling through two years, the originally good situation fell to the bottom again.

"That's right."

Yang Shu's head was filled with all the information he knew, and he had a splitting headache just thinking about it. No matter who is living a good life, if someone suddenly appears one day and says that you are a virtual character and looks at you as a pitiful creature, your mind will be in a mess.

If it weren't for coming to this world, Yang Shu would never have imagined that there are people who can fly in the sky, and there are cars faster than carriages, let alone imagine that a person can condense a fireball in the palm of his hand and even use it to fight.

So, there are all kinds of wonders in the world. Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist, maybe you just haven't encountered it.

When you come to this world, you have to abide by the rules here. Yang Shu has broadened his horizons and knows that cannibalism is not necessarily in times of famine, but also poisoned.

Walking on the street, Yang Shu could feel that someone was watching him secretly, but there was no malice, so he didn't care too much.

After walking around, Yang Shu carefully memorized the streets. He was afraid of getting lost. Just one mistake resulted in two years of blankness. If everyone can live to be a hundred years old, wouldn't it be that he would live two years less than others for no reason?

Wait, how old is he now?

Yang Shu ran off the road while thinking, and never returned on the road. He came to his senses after hearing a shout.

Qi Jia often lost his mind when walking. No one should say anything to each other when they were distracted. After seeing the training ground, he came to his senses and coughed dryly, "This is where we usually train. Many fitness equipment are collected from outside."

"Not bad, it's quite big." Yang Shu looked at the large open space surrounded by barbed wire.

There were people gathered in a circle in the center. Yang Shu wondered, "What are they doing?"

"Are they sparring?" Qi Jia looked carefully for a while and said with a smile, "Someone is challenging Boss Luo."

"Challenging Tianrui?" Yang Shu's eyes lit up, "Let's go and take a look."

"Yeah."

In fact, Qi Jia could already imagine the scene of them being abused. Not to mention what Luo Tianrui did before, his level was also beyond their reach. Isn't this asking for trouble?

Yang Shu excitedly surrounded him, and pushed through the crowd to see Luo Tianrui punching the man away, without even using his supernatural powers. He immediately shouted "Good!"

Luo Tianrui turned his head slightly and saw Yang Shu applauding him, and the corners of his lips slightly raised.

The fierce fist wind hit him, and Shi Guangxuan said happily, "Brother Luo, you will suffer if you are distracted during a fight!"

But Luo Tianrui still did not move, and only seemed to slowly move away when the fist was about to hit his face.

Shi Guangxuan continued to hit him, faster and faster, but Luo Tianrui's dodging speed was also getting faster and faster, like a slippery fish. Every time he was almost hit, he could always avoid it appropriately, which made people angry.

The others were dumbfounded. It would be better to solve the problem one by one as before. At least they would not feel frustrated. When they were about to succeed, they fell to the bottom in an instant. They felt sad for Shi Guangxuan.

"Brother Luo!" Shi Guangxuan was furious very quickly. The aura around him changed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the space was distorted.

"It's over, it's over. This kid is going to get serious."

They had seen this move before. Although it was not the same as those superpowers of water, earth, gold, wood, and fire, it was more effective than those superpowers. They had seen Shi Guangxuan use this move to tear the enemy into pieces in an instant. It was said that this was the power of curse, referred to as curse power.

Luo Tianrui looked at Shi Guangxuan quietly, and his figure suddenly disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already behind Shi Guangxuan, and he grabbed his neck with one hand. The place densely covered with curse power twisted violently for a moment and then returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

"What a fast body movement!"

Shi Guangxuan calmed down and said with a wry smile, "I lost."

Luo Tianrui let go of his hand and said calmly, "The strength is good, but the speed needs to be improved. The attack range is too wide, the targeting is too weak, and the weak spot is too obvious."

After hearing this comment, Shi Guangxuan was stunned, "Is that so?" "

When you use your superpowers, your back is your weak spot. Just now, the superpower was only aimed at my body, which is too large. If you can use it well, you should focus your superpowers on my head. It consumes less energy than taking care of the whole body, and it can kill the enemy faster."

Shi Guangxuan swept away his previous frustration and nodded seriously, "I remember it."

"Yeah." He could listen to it, and Luo Tianrui was still willing to spend time teaching, "I'll make a new training plan for you later."

"Okay!"

"Are there any other people?" Luo Tianrui glanced around calmly.

Those who didn't go up looked eager to try. Luo Tianrui looked at the number of people and said, "Let's go together."

Someone said, "Boss Luo, what if I hurt you?"

"If you hurt me, I'll give you more meat tonight."

"Okay!"

Chapter 68

Under the temptation of meat, everyone was in high spirits. Unfortunately, if they beat one by one, two by two, and a group of people came, they would all be beaten down in a few minutes, and there was wailing on the ground.

"My Tianrui is really awesome." Yang Shu applauded with starry eyes.

The younger brothers who were beaten and stuffed with dog food "..."

This life is unbearable.

In order to make up for the injured hearts of the younger brothers, they still added meat in the evening. They were two fifth-level wild boars that Luo Tianrui and Yang Shu hunted when they went out for a walk. That size was enough for them to eat for several days. Originally, people who didn't go out to guard the wall couldn't eat much meat in a day. Because the wild boar was too big, everyone got a lot, and they ate it together in the evening.

"In the past, when there was meat to eat, I was picky about food. I wouldn't eat meat that was too fat or too thin. Now I eat raw meat as long as it's not rotten meat." Zhang Jin sighed while shaking his head while eating.

He Yi said with a smile, "There is no harm without comparison. It's great to be able to eat meat. How much effort did it take to hunt a fifth-level mutant beast before? Now we have something to eat, so we should eat it quickly."

"Okay!"

Yang Shu was a little surprised, "You think the meat is too fat or too thin when you have it? You had a really good life in the past." It

was really embarrassing to say it, and the picky eater blushed a little. When the older generation said that their generation couldn't eat meat, they thought it was a bit exaggerated, and it was hard to imagine the scene of eating tree bark when they were hungry. Now they don't even have tree bark to chew. After the doomsday is over, will the newly born people also think they are joking?

"Life is pretty good now." Shi Guangxuan squinted his eyes and put a piece of bright and stewed pork belly into his mouth. It was really delicious.

"That's right, Lao Liu's cooking skills were also one of the best in the past. He could fry the unpalatable leaves and make them delicious. Wild boar meat is even more delicious." Yang Fei is one of Liu Jianxin's loyal fans and also an apprentice.

"Okay, eating won't stop you from talking, hurry up and eat, it's time for someone from Fengcheng to come and lobby again." Liu Jianxin finished speaking and began to eat in silence.

This sentence successfully shut everyone up. Yang Shu wanted to ask what was going on, but the most important thing for him at the moment was to eat, so he decided to ask after he finished eating.

As a result, before Yang Shu finished eating and asked, a young man ran in from outside in a hurry, "Oh no! Someone from Fengcheng is coming again--"

Everyone looked as if they were used to it, and even said indifferently.

"What are you talking about?" Yang Shu asked with interest.

Luo Tianrui stuffed a piece of pork belly into his mouth, "They said they wanted Fengcheng and Xing'an City to merge, and several surrounding cities have already merged with Fengcheng."

Yang Shu finished eating the meat and asked, "Didn't you refuse?"

"They are thick-skinned. They start talking when they can't beat us. Sometimes they deliberately lead herds of mutant beasts to our place to show that what they said is right. They always put them on the moral high ground, saying that when the doomsday comes, humans should live in peace and move forward hand in hand, and not be selfish. It's ridiculous. If they weren't selfish, they would share their weapons and food with us." Shi Guangxuan rolled his eyes as he spoke. His look was exactly the same as when Qi Jia complained.

Yang Shu looked quite happy. Qi Jia beside him didn't think there was anything wrong either. He agreed, "We found a lake before. It was Zhang Qian who found it with a detector. As a result, they said the next day that it belonged to Fengcheng. Because it was close to Fengcheng, what could we say? After a stalemate for several days, we found that it was too far away and didn't go there again. Later, a big crocodile woke up in the lake and ate more than a dozen people. That grandson actually said that we deliberately put it in."

"We asked how to put it in, and he said that we knew there were crocodiles in it a long time ago and deliberately didn't tell them. I just wanted to laugh at him." Zhang Jin also felt very angry when he thought of this.

"It's really... weird." Yang Shu didn't know what to say.

"Anyway, they are the holy light, and we are the vulgar devils. The problem is that they have fooled many people to come and cause trouble for us. It's simply unreasonable." Shi Guangxuan had a lot of complaints when he thought of them, and he couldn't help but complain.

"Then I have to go and see." Yang Shu felt that he hadn't met such people for a long time, and wanted to go and see the fun.

"Go and see, just don't get yourself hurt." Their only way to deal with those people is to treat them coldly. As long as they don't fight, they won't pay attention. If they fight, they will fight back.

Yang Shu saw that they were not interested, so he pulled Luo Tianrui to watch the fun.

Everyone suddenly remembered a very important thing-their boss is back, why can't they bully him back? In the past, they endured because those people were annoying, and their strength was not bad, but now the fifth-level mutant beasts are eaten as food, why can't they beat those people who are getting more and more aggressive?

With the urge to beat people, everyone rolled up their sleeves, picked up their weapons and followed Yang Shu and Luo Tianrui out.

What are you enduring? I can't endure it anymore!

In front of the gate of Xing'an City.

Twenty people on bicycles were knocking at the door. It was almost the same as smashing the door. The bang bang bang sound was so loud that it hurt people's ears.

The people guarding on the city wall pretended not to hear it, silently cracked melon seeds, and threw melon seed shells on the heads of those people. They didn't say anything when they were scolded, and treated them as air.

This is what Yang Shu and his group saw when they came over. No matter how much those people outside said, no one in Xing'an City paid any attention.

"If you do this again, we will not be polite!" The bald man in the lead said viciously.

"When have you ever been polite?" Qi Jia said coldly.

Someone paid attention to him, and the bald man became excited, "Why are you not polite? Every time we come here, we bring enough sincerity, but you are too much. Not only do you not open the door, you refuse us from entering, and you throw melon seed shells on our heads!"

Qi Jia picked his ears impatiently, too lazy to talk about those things.

Just when the bald man thought that the people in Xing'an City were going to pretend to be dead again, a strange voice asked, "What sincerity did you bring here?"

The bald man looked up and saw a handsome man with a baby face, his eyes full of curiosity. New here? The bald man looked at them and curled his lips, "Where are you from?"

"Don't change the subject. What I want to ask is, what sincerity did you bring here? Are the weapons in the car a gift to us? Or are those people in the back sent to us as slaves?" Yang Shu asked seriously.

The bald man choked, "We are sincere..."

"Then you have nothing to give?" Yang Shu suddenly realized, "What kind of sincerity is this? Are you here to find trouble sincerely? Others have to give gifts when they visit, but you have a bad tone and attitude, and you smashed a hole in our door. No one with a brain will let you in, right? Do you think we are stupid? Or will you let us in? If so, then tomorrow we will bring weapons and people to your Fengcheng to try. If you don't open the door, I will also smash the door."

The younger brothers held back their laughter, and Shi Guangxuan echoed loudly, "Yes! We will smash the door too!"

A group of people who came out to watch also shouted "Smash the door!"

The bald man was stunned. When did these people become so confident?

A short-haired woman next to him whispered, "Something's wrong."

The bald man frowned, "From today on, Xing'an City is ours. Our eldest brother asked the people in Kyoto that Xing'an City will be under the jurisdiction of Fengcheng Management. If you don't agree, they will send people to beat you up in a few days. If you don't believe it, just forget it."

"Who in Kyoto said that?"

"Gu Chen, do you know him?" The bald man said with contempt. He thought that Yang Shu must have never heard of it, and he said it mainly for Qi Jia and the others to hear. "The people in Kyoto said that Xing'an City is given to us. It is illegal for you to refuse."

"Legal?" Qi Jia looked at him as if he was a fool. "No one cares about killing people. Screw your legality! Did Kyoto contribute at the beginning of Xing'an City's construction? Did it provide people? Or materials? They didn't contribute anything. They made us belong to another city for no reason. Go to hell."

The bald man snorted. "This is none of our business. Anyway, I've got your message. If you don't leave, I'll blow up your place in three days."

After saying that, the bald man was about to leave. Yang Shu suddenly jumped down from the city wall. "Since you're here, show some sincerity."

Bald man: "???"

Yang Shu curled his lips and punched him in the eye. He said slowly, "I'm very satisfied with your weapons and cars. Thank you."

Everyone: "..."

The things were snatched away as a matter of course. There was no way. The bald man wanted to resist, but he was punched every time he resisted. His mind was not so clear anymore. Others dared not get close to him. If they were not careful, they would be punched or kicked. In the end, they ran away with the man in shame, and they didn't even dare to say a harsh word.

"What a coward." Shi Guangxuan said with a smile as he looked at their backs when he drove out.

"Let's get the stuff back first."

Yang Shu was not very optimistic about the situation. He was not afraid of fighting alone, and he was also fine with a group fight, but he knew that there were bombs in this world with small power and those with great power that could destroy a city. If it was really what Gu Chen said, then the news was basically true, and he was looking for an excuse to raze Xing'an City to the ground.

But there was one thing Yang Shu couldn't figure out, "Does Gu Chen have such great power?"

"He should have something else in his hands."

Otherwise, no one would agree with Gu Chen's words. It was too willful to destroy a city at this time.

Yang Shu just felt a headache, "We should have killed him directly at the beginning." Anyway, Gu Chen couldn't beat them. If they kept wasting time like this, the city would be destroyed now, and it would be too late for them to rush over now.

"Hmm." Luo Tianrui's eyes were slightly cold, "Xing'an City is going to expand."

Yang Shu sighed, and was a little puzzled when he heard the second half of the sentence, "Expansion?"

"Only by having a strength that makes people fear you can you avoid being passive all the time."

In this situation, it is impossible to stay in peace forever. It is not terrible to make people hate you. What is terrible is that when the enemy's strength is increasing and is preparing to annex you, you are still happily thinking that the world is so beautiful.

Chapter 69

"Okay, let's start with Fengcheng and kill one to warn the rest."

A thousand people dead is nothing, but what about thousands or tens of thousands?

Xing'an City can be regarded as a paradise, but they can annex the surrounding cities.

It must be said that Fengcheng's actions gave Yang Shu a lot of inspiration. They now have better grain seeds than Kyoto, more powerful supernatural people, and perfect cultivation methods. Can't these attract more followers? When there are more people and their status is high, who dares to target them again?

After deciding to start with Fengcheng, Yang Shu told Qi Jia and the others about the matter, and asked everyone to go back to their rooms to have a good rest and go to Fengcheng for a stroll tomorrow morning.

It was not known that Yang Shu would bring his brothers here tomorrow. The Lord of Fengcheng was pacing back and forth where he lived. Although the news he received was beneficial to him, he had to think more.

Gu Chen has a grudge against those people in Xing'an City, but there are only Xing'an City and Fengcheng around here. If Xing'an City is destroyed and merged with Fengcheng, then, will he be the next person to be dealt with? His current strength cannot be compared with Kyoto, and the only choice before him is cooperation, even if he wants to withdraw.

Three days...

The Lord of Fengcheng wiped the sweat from his forehead with difficulty. He has never hoped that Xing'an City will be stronger than now. He still understands the principle that the lips and teeth are cold.

Under the scorching sun, five modified cars suitable for running on sand and not wasting much fuel roared forward.

The patrolmen of Fengcheng saw the car that was robbed yesterday from a distance. They stared with wide eyes and their mouths could fit a duck egg. It was just robbed yesterday, and it was driven out today. Is the original owner really good at showing off?

When the Lord of Fengcheng heard that someone from Xing'an City had come, his expression was somewhat complicated. The Kyoto side had given them three days. Could it be that they were coming to surrender? But why did it feel so awkward to come and surrender in the car that they had just stolen yesterday?

No matter what the people from Xing'an City came for, the Lord of Fengcheng decided to take a look. He couldn't hide.

After seeing that the leader was a baby-faced man and a man with silver hair beside him on the city wall, the Lord of Fengcheng knew that things were serious and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The legendary boss of the Xing'an City gang was back, so he was relieved.

To be honest, if Gu Chen hadn't asked him to suppress the development of Xing'an City, he really didn't want to confront that gang.

Have you seen a city wall built with 800 people that is as strong as the Kyoto city wall? Have you seen grain seeds that are easier to raise than those in Kyoto? Have you seen a group that resisted the invasion of dozens of troops and mutant beasts and remained intact?

The Lord of Fengcheng really admired them. Their strength improved too fast. He remembered that he saw Shi Guangxuan as a fifth-level supernaturalist before the end of last year, and he reached the sixth level three months later. Now he didn't know what strength he had. As for the others, their strength increased at a terrifying rate.

Last year, the Lord of Fengcheng knew that if he hadn't done his best to kill the people from Xing'an City, he shouldn't provoke them again, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. But at this point, there was no turning back. He could only grit his teeth and ask with a smile, "What do you want to do in Fengcheng?"

"We come to discuss something with you with full sincerity." After Yang Shu finished speaking, Shi Guangxuan and Zhang Jin behind him threw a dead sixth-level iron-horned rhinoceros with bird wings from the car.

The Lord of Fengcheng's eyelids jumped, and the smile on his face almost couldn't be maintained. "What's the matter?"

"Aren't you going to open the door to let us in? We come here with full, full, sincerity, which is much better than those who come here with nothing, right?" Yang Shu said with a fake smile.

The patrolmen in Fengcheng shrank their necks one by one, and no one dared to say a word. Being able to kill a sixth-level iron-horned rhinoceros without any damage and standing here talking to them, anyone with a little bit of brains would know to shut up. No one is the protagonist these days, and even if there is, it would not be them. Since they don't have the aura of the protagonist, they should be more careful.

"Um..."

"Open the door!" Yang Shu was too lazy to talk to him.

The Lord of Wind City sighed lightly and asked someone to open the door.

"Lord... No." After opening the door, can they still have a good life?

"Open it."

Thinking carefully, they don't have a deep hatred... right? The Lord of Wind City coughed dryly with guilt. Well, if he had a better attitude, he should be able to survive?

I thought I had to take tough measures, but I didn't expect that the Lord of Wind City would agree to open the city gate. Yang Shu felt a little regretful.

After seeing the regret in Yang Shu's eyes, the Lord of Wind City praised his wit. Fortunately, he didn't refuse.

After the people came in, the people of Wind City were unilaterally on the verge of a fight, but Yang Shu was very calm and even wanted to laugh.

They looked quite arrogant before, but once they arrived at their base camp, it was as if they saw countless little sheep. They were obviously scared to death but still pretended to be powerful. It was funny no matter how you looked at them.

"What do you want to say?" The bald man stood next to the Lord of Wind City and glared.

Yang Shu glanced at his eyes, which were as dark as a panda. The bald man's anus tightened and he took a half step back. "Who are you?" The bald

man was about to speak, but the Lord of Fengcheng waved his hand to signal him to go down. "His name is Xiong Hu, and my name is Yu Wei, and I'm the Lord of Fengcheng."

"Hello, my name is Yang Shu, the boss of Xing'an City." Yang Shu looked at Yu Wei, "Fifth-level psychic?"

"Well... fifth-level wind system."

The current conversation was still very harmonious, and Yu Wei's heart settled a little. Before he finished speaking, he heard Yang Shu say, "Are you in the same group as Gu Chen?"

This straightforwardness made Yu Wei a little unacceptable. He opened his mouth, subconsciously looked in one direction, and then said, "I always stand on the side of the country."

"Just don't stand on his side." Yang Shu inadvertently glanced in the direction Yu Wei was looking at. He was a very ordinary-looking man. He frowned slightly after hearing what he said.

Yu Wei was about to say something, but swallowed his words of explanation. It was obvious that it was in the best interest of cooperating with Xing'an City. He had heard a lot about Gu Chen's style of doing things. He was much more difficult to deal with than the straightforward Yang Shu, and he liked to be capricious. When there was a challenge, he would naturally change partners.

"In that case, I'll tell you. From today on, Fengcheng will listen to us on major matters and you on minor matters. If there are any problems, raise them now. If there are no problems, then it's done."

Yu Wei: "???"

What's done?

"No...you want to take over Fengcheng?" Yu Wei thought it was at most a cooperative relationship, but this was a plan to annex it.

"It's not a takeover, but it's more restrictive than cooperation." Yang Shu thought for a while and gave an example, "We are in a hostile relationship with Gu Chen, and you must also be the opposite of him."

Yu Wei: "..." Has the relationship gotten so bad?

"If you don't agree..."

Before Yu Wei could finish his words, a shiny sickle was placed on his neck, and he didn't dare to say the rest.

A short-haired woman stepped forward and said, "Why can't we talk about it in a quiet way? Why are you being so violent?"

Yang Shu put away the scythe in a flash, "I'm just informing you, it doesn't matter whether you agree or not."

Yu Wei's mouth twitched, this way of negotiation was really simple and rough. "So there is no choice?"

"You can refuse." Yang Shu said and waved the scythe in his hand, the meaning was very clear - if you refuse, you will die.

"Are you unreasonable?" The bald man was so angry that he wanted to punch Yang Shu.

Yang Shu looked at him in surprise, "So you are reasonable?"

The bald man said, "..."

Yu Wei struggled for a moment and said, "I agree, but you have to make some things clear, right? For example, the benefits after the merger, and what we need to do."

Seeing that his attitude of refusal was not particularly firm, Yang Shu asked Luo Tianrui to come out to talk.

"We have easier-to-grow crops, and we can share the seeds with you. We can also teach you the cultivation techniques. And you need to give us one-fifth of the total crystal cores every month. We also need to know the deployment map and the number of weapons of Fengcheng. Resource sharing is equivalent to an affiliated city."

When Yu Wei heard about the cultivation techniques, he was already tempted. No matter what resources are, they are not as good as the techniques to enhance strength. After all, resources can be obtained, but this is the first time he has heard of the cultivation techniques.

As for whether there are cultivation techniques, Yu Wei believes that they have them, otherwise how can the strength of the people in Xing'an City improve so quickly? And they do not absorb more crystal cores than them.

Reaching the fifth level in the first two years is the limit, and exceeding the fifth level is basically impossible. The people who exploded and died are proof of this. Later, the strength of mutant beasts and zombies became higher and higher. The fifth stage, which could not be stepped out, suddenly reduced the danger level, and the success rate was 50-50.

Later, it was found that as long as the absorbed crystal core was of a high level, the fifth stage was not a scourge. The conclusion given by the research institute was that the crystal cores of low-level zombies and mutant beasts had too many unstable impurities. The higher the level, the purer the crystal core, and the greater the possibility of safely passing the fifth stage after absorption.

But where did so many high-level mutant beasts and zombies come from for them to absorb pure crystal core energy? Most people stopped at the fifth or fourth level. The highest level known so far is the leader of the Wolf Fang Gang, who is at the seventh level.

Thinking of this, Yu Wei couldn't help but look at Luo Tianrui. His strength seemed unfathomable, and he might be even stronger than the leader of the Wolf Fang Gang.

People with high strength are not able to make people feel that he is very powerful and terrifying at first glance, but have learned to be introverted. At first glance, there is no difference from ordinary people. The leader of the Wolf Fang Gang belongs to the former, while Luo Tianrui belongs to the latter. However, the truly terrifying ones are often the latter.

"If what you said is true, we agree." If there is a technique, what is the use of the annexed city? Even if it is given to them, what's the harm?

Yang Shu nodded with satisfaction, "Very straightforward."

"As for Kyoto..." Yu Wei frowned. He agreed only under the condition that Xing'an City was still there. If it was destroyed by Gu Chen, no matter how good his words were, it would be in vain.

Chapter 70

"Do you have his contact information?" Yang Shu felt it necessary to contact Gu Chen to ask him what he meant and inform him that they were back.

Yu Wei had already decided to stand on Yang Shu's side, so he no longer hesitated and pointed out the man in the crowd and said, "He is the spy arranged by Gu Chen in Fengcheng. He is the one who usually contacts Gu Chen with his mobile phone."

"Oh?" Yang Shu looked over.

The man didn't expect Yu Wei to give him up without mercy. He was stunned for a moment, then his face changed drastically. He wanted to run away, but was entangled by several blood-red vines. He had to stretch his neck and yell, "Yu Wei! You dare to betray Mr. Gu, you will die miserably!"

Yu Wei's face was not good either. "At the beginning, the mayor of Yuecheng surrendered to him. Gu Chen said nice things, but he killed him directly after he was no longer useful. Don't tell me you don't know about this. Gu Chen and I are at most a cooperative relationship. I have experienced his character. I don't want Fengcheng to become the second Yuecheng." He

didn't say it before because he didn't dare to offend him openly. Gu Chen was not a good partner. Now that he has decided to cooperate with Xing'an City, he must draw a clear line, otherwise he will be a nobody inside and outside. When Gu Chen and the people of Xing'an City hunt him down together, it will be completely over.

Yang Shu was surprised at Yu Wei's straightforwardness, and also felt that this person had a good vision and a bright future.

"He deserves to die!"

Hearing this, Luo Tianrui frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong with his state.

"Why waste time talking to a person with a brain disease?" Shi Guangxuan went up to the man and took out his cell phone, which was a smart phone. "Oh, Kyoto is developing well. Smart phones have been restored. I wonder if there is network and whether we can have video chat."

"Video?" Yang Shu leaned over curiously to take a look. He knew there was such a thing as a cell phone, but he had never used a real one.

Shi Guangxuan's fingers slid on the phone a few times. After unlocking it, he really saw a little penguin. He couldn't help but laugh, "There is actually a chat software. Great."

After opening it, there were only two contacts, one was Gu Chen and the other was Luo Tianqi.

Qi Jia said after reading it, "It seems that it has not been developed to the point where everyone has it."

"Given the current situation, if it can be developed to the whole people, then we don't have to worry." Shi Guangxuan fiddled with it for a few times and muttered , "Why is the network different?"

Fortunately, after a few tinkerings, he was able to connect. Shi Guangxuan asked, "Brother Yang, do you want to call?"

"Call." Yang Shu looked at Shi Guangxuan and clicked. An interface appeared, and soon Gu Chen's face appeared on it.

As soon as the call was connected and he saw Yang Shu's enlarged face, Gu Chen's heart collapsed. After holding it in for a long time, he uttered, "Where did you get the phone?"

Yang Shu held the phone back a little, and poked Gu Chen's face on the screen in surprise. What a magical operation. "Your little brother's."

Gu Chen "..."

After studying for a while, Yang Shu said to him, "We are back. You said you would blow up Xing'an City in three days, right?"

Gu Chen was about to speak, and then heard Yang Shu say, "If you want to blow it up, that thing will be gone. It's red and beautiful."

"It's you!" Gu Chen was so angry that he was about to explode, "Give me back the source crystal!"

"Huh?" Yang Shu blinked, "What source crystal? I don't know."

Gu Chen was shocked. He was still pretending to be stupid after saying so much? ! "You stole the source crystal from the research institute, and now you say you don't know?!"

"Did you? I don't know." Yang Shu looked innocent and lied very poorly. "Anyway, I've told you, so let it go. I don't want to see your face."

After saying that, Yang Shu pressed the red square, and Gu Chen's face disappeared.

The whole process took only three minutes. Yu Wei suspected that Gu Chen would be angry to death.

In fact, Gu Chen was really angry to death. It was true that the source crystal contained a lot of energy, but it was also fragile. According to Yang Shu, they have not absorbed it yet. If they are still in Xing'an City, the source crystal will definitely break if the city is blown up.

But if we don't kill them now, will there be another chance in the future?

"Are you sure that a few bombs can destroy them?"

Luo Tianqi's words made Gu Chen suddenly enlightened. Yes, Xing'an City can be gone, but those people can't be killed. A sneak attack may kill more than half of them. It is clearly stated. If they have been prepared, the bombing will only do harm to them.

"Then now..."

Luo Tianqi saw that he had regained his sanity and said in a much more relaxed tone, "Let them toss around. The most important thing is to get the source crystal back. Don't forget that the source crystal is not only useful to us. Wasn't it for everyone to find the source crystal in the first place?"

Gu Chen was stunned for a moment and understood what he meant. Yes, the reason why everyone was asked to find it back was that the source crystal could restore the vitality of the earth. Now that Luo Tianrui and Yang Shu have stolen it, they just need to spread the news and use the righteousness and the pressure of the people. They are not afraid that they will not return it.

Thinking of this, Gu Chen calmed down. After getting the source crystal, he must kill Yang Shu!

"A-choo--"

Yang Shu rubbed his slightly itchy nose and continued, "That's what happened. We'll talk about the rest later. You can keep the iron-horned cattle. We'll go back first. Contact us if there's anything. Remember to send someone to Xing'an City to get grain seeds tomorrow."

The headache for Yu Wei was solved at once. He responded with a dreamy look on his face, "Okay."

Things went too smoothly. On the way back, Yang Fei was still a little unresponsive. He thought he would have to fight at least, but Yang Shu solved it with just a few words? The others looked like they were used to it, making him look very different.

Yang Fei was very entangled in his heart, so he had to ask the people in the car, "He Yi, has Boss Yang always been like this?"

He Yi, who was driving, glanced at him and smiled, "Yes, simple and rough. He doesn't care about those twists and turns. He fights head-on. If he can't win, he runs away. At present, he can still win."

Yang Fei: "..." Why does he feel that this boss is a little unreliable? Illusion, right?

"Just get used to it. There's no point in thinking too much. Even if the sky falls, we still have Boss Luo."

It must be said that the latter sentence made Yang Fei feel much more at ease. It's enough to have someone reliable.

"A-choo--"

Yang Shu sneezed again. He rubbed his nose hard. "Why do you always sneeze recently?"

"Are you feeling unwell?" Luo Tianrui touched Yang Shu's forehead and asked.

"No." Yang Shu felt that his body was in great shape.

After confirming that the temperature was normal, Luo Tianrui put down his hand and continued driving.

"Ding Dong--"

"Huh?" Yang Shu looked at the trading panel that suddenly popped up automatically and felt a little strange. If there was a message, it should be a reminder instead of popping up directly, right?

Before Yang Shu could figure it out, a man wearing a black cloak with a pale face and a pair of blood-red eyes appeared on the panel, with a weird beauty.

"Who are you?" Yang Shu was sure that he had never seen this person before. He looked at the coordinate number again. It was not Moqier's or Yuan Fan's, but a new coordinate number.

The man looked at Yang Shu and said, "Are you a new user?"

"...No."

"Well, do you have a hundred-year-old spiritual farm? I need a lot of skull fruits that are more than five hundred years old. I can exchange them with potions and weapons, as well as magic patterns." The man said in a cold tone.

Are you here to trade with him?

Yang Shu nodded, "Yes."

"Do you need potions or weapons? Or magic patterns?"

"What are potions like? What are magic patterns? I don't really need ordinary weapons." Yang Shu's first impression of this man was pretty good. He was a little cold, but his attitude was okay, and he looked pretty good.

The man said, "Potions can be used to detoxify, strengthen the body, beautify, and heal serious injuries. Magic patterns are a kind of formation, which has two types: attack and defense. The attack type needs to be triggered by mental power, and ordinary people can rarely use it. For your world, the defense type is more cost-effective. If ordinary weapons are not needed, it is best to exchange for potions or defensive magic patterns."

"Okay, how to exchange?" Anyway, the things were planted in his space, and Yang Shu was not afraid that he would break his promise.

When the man heard Yang Shu's straightforwardness, his face looked much better, and he tried to soften his tone. "One five-hundred-year-old skull fruit can be exchanged for three eighth-level potions or two eighth-level magic patterns. One eighth-level repair potion can make a seriously injured person with only half a breath alive in five minutes. One eighth-level magic pattern can withstand five large explosive attacks, and the area within a five-mile radius will be fine."

Yang Shu's eyes lit up, this is good. "Can I exchange it for an eighth-level potion and a seventh-level magic pattern?"

The man frowned, "I can give you an eighth-level potion and an eighth-level magic pattern. I can't make a very low-level magic pattern with my current strength."

Yang Shu's mouth twitched, and the invisible show-off was the most deadly. "...Okay then."

"Skull fruit is a bit dangerous fruit. You can't pick it directly with your hands, otherwise it will bite you. It's best to pick it with your mind."

Yang Shu "???"

What kind of fruit can actually bite people? ! What the hell is mind?

Seeing Yang Shu's confused look, the man couldn't help but ask, "Can't you use your mind to make the things in the spiritual field obey you?"

"Huh? You can use your mind to make them obey you?" Yang Shu wanted to say that he hadn't unlocked this function.

The man frowned slightly, "You can ask the trader, anyway, I can do it. If it doesn't work, I'll find someone else, otherwise it will be very troublesome to treat you if I bite you."

Yang Shu asked Xiao Qi with a dark face, and got the answer that it was possible. He felt bad all over. Then what was he working so hard to harvest rice for? !

Covering his heart and swallowing a mouthful of old blood, Yang Shu told the man that it was okay, and the man gave him a small purple seedling and paid a deposit - an eighth-level magic pattern, saying that they would try the effect.

"Well, what's your name? My name is Yang Shu."

"Feinuo."

After trying to plant the skull fruit seedling with his mind, Yang Shu wiped the sweat off his face. His head hurt like a needle, so he had to throw himself into Luo Tianrui's arms and ask for a hug.

Luo Tianrui drove with one hand and massaged Yang Shu's temple with the other hand, and injected some wood energy into him, "Take your time, don't rush."

​​"Yeah... It's so comfortable." Yang Shu hugged Luo Tianrui tightly, wishing he could stick to him.

The people in the back of the car felt a little bit of pain. They didn't pay much attention to Yang Shu's mumbling before, but now they heard the discordant voice again, and they looked up at the sky helplessly, which was really sad for single people.
