Chapter 39 Section 12

At this time, Li Longju was running wildly in the pitch-black path of the army, and Lu Guichen shook his head vigorously to shake off the rain on his face.It was raining all over the sky and the ground, and I couldn't see anything clearly. Looking for someone here was like asking a blind man to hit the bull's-eye with an arrow a hundred steps away.Gu Yueyi was behind him, and there was no one else.The man who ran like a horse has been chasing them. He has the nose of a hound, and every time he separates a few light cavalry to intercept him, and soon he follows up again.But in the dark night, only the howling of those Qingqi in the distance could be heard, and there was no sound at all.

The sound of footsteps was approaching again, Li Longju and Gu Yueyi's horses were both strong and panting from exhaustion. Lu Guichen thought that this so-called man who believed in God was a complete idiot, just like what Xi Yan said.They couldn't find Ye Zhengshu at all, and they didn't know where that crazy old man was.And the man seemed to think they knew.Now Lu Guichen doesn't care if that man kills them too, he would rather be as that man thinks, they know where Ye Zhengshu is.In this way, even if he turned around and fought to the death with that man, it was worthwhile.

Time is running out, people are dying in Shangyang Pass every moment, fortifications collapse one after another, and the traps that trap zombies have begun to fail. "I'll hold him back!" Gu Yueyi yelled, "Don't stop!" "Can't stop!" Lu Guichen also shouted. He heard that terrible footstep, just behind their horses, maybe ten feet, maybe five feet, or even closer.He wasn't sure that Gu Yueyi could resist that thing, Gu Yueyi had only one person, and Bai Yi's giant knife couldn't kill that thing. But Gu Yueyi had already grabbed the horse fiercely. The moment the horse stood up, he pulled out the saber from his waist, turned around and slashed without even looking at it.The knife hit, but there was the sound of cutting metal. Before Gu Yueyi could dodge, the opponent's heavy body collided with Gu Yueyi's horse at the speed of a galloping horse.The war horse couldn't maintain its balance while standing upright, and was knocked over violently. Gu Yueyi flew out like a kite with a broken string, rolled in the mud, and couldn't even stand up.

"Can't stop!" Gu Yueyi yelled with all his might. The man waved his arms and threw himself at Gu Yueyi on the ground. The sound of horseshoes came from behind him, and two horses, one black and one white, galloped out of the heavy rain. The men on the horses unleashed their weapons, and the moment they passed by the man's sides, they accurately hit his back.The man was impacted by a huge force and threw himself forward, but he struggled to stabilize his figure. "What a hard back armor!" Xi Yan praised, and shouted at Lu Guichen in the distance, "Go! Send orders to find Ye Zhengshu!"

He wants to get off his horse, foot fighting is his specialty.But the man had already jumped behind his horse, Xi Yan heard the sound, swung his sword and swept backward like Gu Yueyi, in order to force him back.The man didn't dare to face Jingdu's sword head-on, and he dodged short, grabbing Mo Xue's hind hoof with both hands and pulling hard.Mo Xue couldn't bear such force, and was pulled down to the ground. Xi Yan rolled down from the horse's back and was not injured like Gu Yueyi.He raised his sword over the top, and was about to turn around and chop, but he was caught in the lower back.The man used the same trick he used to attack Ye Jin, and his speed was too fast.Xi Yan was shocked, he twisted his upper body with all his strength, and before the man exerted his force, he punched the man's injured eye socket hard.

He used all his strength in this punch, and it felt like he had hit pig iron on the opponent's face, causing severe pain in the metacarpal.The other party was also thrown backwards, his hands could not help but let go, he fell to the ground, rolled sideways away from the man, and watched the man slowly stand up straight again. "It keeps going like this, what a hard neck bone!" Xi Yan shouted, "Bow and arrow!" There was an ear-piercing whistling sound from the heights, and the feathered arrows fell together with the heavy rain. The sound of the rain blurred the direction of the incoming arrows. The man wanted to dodge, but was stunned for a moment. Three long arrows had pierced into his chest side by side.The arrows pierced his armor, each penetrating two inches into his body.He looked at the big arrows on his chest. Those arrowheads were slender and sharp as needles, and the feathers on the tails of the arrows were pure white.

"Hexue's arrow!" He shouted. Three more feathered arrows fell from the sky. The man raised his head, but he couldn't see the person who was shooting the arrow hidden in the dark sky. The heavy rain blurred everything.He had no choice, he folded the copper shield with both hands to block it above his head, all three arrows pierced into the copper shield, and the tail of the arrow vibrated violently.The man grabbed the tails of the three arrows and pulled them out. The arrowheads were bloody.The arrow had pierced the copper shield and wounded his arm. But he didn't dare to pull out the arrows in his chest, he could feel those sharp arrowheads sticking to his heart.

With the arrow, he ignored Bai Yi's approach and rushed towards the direction Lu Guichen left. Lu Guichen felt that the road in front of him seemed to extend endlessly.He couldn't remember how many intersections he had turned, how many roads he had run, and how many fortifications he had passed through which were breached by zombies.It was pitch black in front of his eyes, and it was raining heavily. He hadn't found anyone, not Ye Zhengshu at all.If you look down from the sky at this time, he is advancing rapidly on the well-organized military path of Shangyang Pass, but this city is like a huge maze, and he can't find the exit.He was already close to the fire gate, but he didn't know it, and all the places close to the fire gate were darkened, the flames of war were extinguished, and everyone here had died in battle.

Many years later, Lu Guichen sat with a girl on his lap under the canopy of the Tenghea Grassland. He told the girl that life is like this. You want to find a home, but the world is a huge maze. I don't know which turn to turn and which one to not. Maybe you are trying to move forward, but you are getting farther and farther away from where you want to go. At this time, he looked up at the sky, at the thousands of stars, and remembered that night when he ran wildly on the military path of Shangyang Pass, and remembered another person.But he held the sword and fought hard all his life, but he got farther and farther away from this person.In fact, there is a light in the depths of the dark labyrinth. He was going to look for it, but he couldn't find a map to get there after exhausting everything in his life.

Lu Guichen reined in his horse suddenly. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but the moment he passed the corner just now, he saw a little fire.This is the camp in the southwest, and the light of the fire is on the side of the military road, which should be a military building.At this time, there should be no one in the barracks, and everyone has gone to the battlefield, including a few wounded soldiers. Lu Guichen held Yingyue out of the sheath in his hand, and cautiously approached the corner.As soon as he turned around, he saw the burning barracks.In the dark night, this light is especially warm.

The door was ajar, Lu Guichen did not dare to take it lightly.He took a slight step back, gathered all his strength, and rushed into the barracks. The moment he rushed in, he raised his long knife from bottom to top, so that if the opponent tried to attack from the front, the blow would not be able to hit him. The empty door he broke through from the front.Lu Guichen's knife missed, and he rolled on the ground, trying to dodge the enemies who might be hiding on both sides of the door. There are also no enemies from the side of the door. Lu Guichen defended with his sword horizontally, and slowly stood up straight.He saw the fire burning warmly under the stove. A man wearing a black cloak sat in front of the stove, stretched out his thin hands, and slowly added firewood to it.Lu Guichen's arrival didn't seem to disturb him at all. Lu Guichen slowly turned around in a semicircle with the knife, keeping a distance of two feet from that person.Now that he could see that person's face, he was ecstatic in his heart, it was Ye Zhengshu, although he had only seen him twice, he could be sure.But Ye Zhengshu didn't look at him, this crazy old man became very quiet now, he was humming something, and he was adding firewood in his hand.Lu Guichen thought that his madness was completely faked. At this time, Ye Zhengshu's expression was a little melancholy and frustrated, but he was peaceful and serene. Whenever he saw the flames flickering from the stove, his face would also smile. Pull away and smile. Lu Guichen hesitated, now he only needs to step forward and chop off Ye Zhengshu's head.But he didn't dare, this old man was too quiet, as if he was completely defenseless, but he didn't know if this old man would be as scary as the man on the tower. He moved his steps slowly, and felt that something was crushed under his feet. It was a disgusting sound like crushing flesh.He lowered his head and saw a scorpion at his feet.It was only then that he noticed that there were many insects and ants under his feet. They were all kinds and mixed together, crawling around irregularly, as if all the animals had crawled out of their nests to escape before the earthquake.But these insects and ants dare not approach him, there is not even a small ant in the circle around his feet, and wherever his steps move, the insects and ants there will naturally avoid them. He looked at Yingyue in his hand in surprise, this long knife was vibrating uncomfortably, emitting a full moon-like brilliance.He thought that these insects and ants were afraid of this knife, which gave him more courage. He took a deep breath, strode forward and slashed with his knife. He didn't use all his strength in this knife, so that if the opponent had any unusual attacks, he still had time to retreat or dodge. Ye Zhengshu turned his head suddenly, saw Lu Guichen, and also saw his knife.He seemed to have been greatly frightened, that serene expression completely disappeared, and he became crazy again, crawling back on his hands and feet, narrowly dodging Lu Guichen's slash.He made all kinds of strange babbling noises in his throat, bowed his head and hunched his back, wearing a black cloak that dragged the floor.Looking for a way to escape.He ran to the corner of the wall and pushed it hard, but found no way out, and ran to the corner of the other wall to push it hard, like a huge old mouse, behind him were densely packed insects and ants, like a road in the ground. The wandering black wind. Lu Guichen was stunned.He didn't understand what was going on with all this, and he stood before the stove with his knife in his hand. The crackling fire in the stove warmed the person's body, and his body, which was drenched in the heavy rain, seemed to be slowly rejuvenating.Lu Guichen glanced at the fire, and suddenly remembered something. He is crazy. Nothing wrong, but occasionally he can still think of his wife, the night when he was kicked out of the house and took a nap in the kitchen outside, so when he was burning a fire here, he became quiet, just like Lu Guichen's own mother When holding the doll, it is very tender.Their memories all stay at a certain time and place long ago. Ye Zhengshu's memory stays in the cloud when he was young, and Le Mo's memory is on the night when she gave birth to Lu Guichen. Lu Guichen felt that his hand holding the knife became weak, and he didn't know how to cut it down with his knife. At this time, heavy footsteps came from outside the house, and Ye Zhengshu finally found the door and got out. Startled, Lu Guichen chased him out of the door.He made a huge mistake, he should put out the fire here first, otherwise anyone can easily find here. What came with the rain was a serrated broad blade, and the man leaped up like a black eagle and swooped down.Lu Guichen swung his sword against the enemy, Yingyue and Broad Blade clashed in the air, Yingyue's sharpness gained the upper hand, and one of the Broad Blade was cut off and flew out.The man landed heavily, and Lu Guichen Yingyue walked away, his whole body full of flaws, but he did not pursue.He ran after Ye Zhengshu's back. "Kill him!" Xi Yan's voice came from behind.But he himself was too far away to catch up. Ye Zhengshu ran fast, he seemed to have found the way ahead, he ran with all his strength in the heavy rain, he didn't look like an old man at all.But the man is faster, he is simply a black lightning bolt. Lu Guichen couldn't hesitate any longer, he had already lost one chance, and he couldn't lose the last one.He kicked the ground violently, like a powerful arrow shot close to the ground, and at the same time he waved his arms, and Shadow Moon flew out. Knife Throwing! The five-foot long knife was overflowing with brilliance, spinning into a full moon, passing by the man with a shrill whistling sound, and chasing after Ye Zhengshu's back. Ye Zhengshu didn't stop, but ran towards the dark rain.It wasn't until the long knife passed by the back of his neck that he staggered to a stop.He took a few steps forward, arms outstretched, like a duck learning to walk. The man stopped.Lu Guichen also stopped, and he saw a figure running from the opposite side.The slender figure also stopped, standing quietly in the rain with his arms wide open, just like Ye Zhengshu.In her sight, Ye Zhengshu's head tilted from his neck and fell to the ground with a "bang". Lu Guichen couldn't see that woman's face, and he was glad that he couldn't, he didn't dare to look at the expression on that face.When he saw Ye Jin on the tower, he once suspected that she and Ye Zhengshu were not father and daughter, and this identity was just a cover for infiltrating into Shangyang Pass, but now he thought how could he doubt all of this?Could it be that when a person sees Ye Jin wipe away the gum bit by bit from Ye Zhengshu's dull eyes, but doesn't feel so much love and dependence?Lu Guichen felt that he was really stupid.He succeeded, but he was not excited at all. He suddenly thought of why Ye Zhengshu ran there desperately, with his arms wide open like a staggering duck. It was because he felt his daughter was coming, and he wanted to... To embrace the one and only kin, there is a place where this crazy old man can escape his fear. He turned his head up to the sky, letting the rain splash on his face. "Kill the Corpse Warrior! Stop him!" Xi Yan's voice was like thunder. Lu Guichen came back to his senses.He was shocked to find that Ye Zhengshu's headless body did not bleed, the body stood silently, and thousands of insects and ants were crawling out of his body.Not seeing it with his own eyes, Lu Guichen couldn't believe that so many insects and ants live in a person's body, he thought it was an illusion, the bodies of those insects and ants were slightly transparent; did not disappear. Insects and ants crawled frantically on the ground, some were washed away by the rain, and some gathered together.In the end, they split into two paths, one crawled towards Ye Jin, and the other crawled towards the corpse warrior.The distance was too far, Lu Guichen couldn't see Ye Jin's situation, but he saw those insects and ants crawling on the corpse warrior's body with his own eyes.The man suffered too many injuries from repeated beatings, and almost turned into a blood man. Those insects and ants seemed to be sucking the blood that flowed out of his body, and then burrowed into his wound one by one.His injury was healing rapidly, and these insects and ants clearly brought extraordinary strength, Lu Guichen was so shocked that he couldn't hold the knife steadily. The last scorpion with a green tail got in from his hollow eye socket, and the blue scorpion tail twirled outside before finally disappearing. As if illuminated by divine light, the man stretched his arms to accept the thousands of insects and ants, and looked up at the sky.At this moment he was finally consummated, he smiled coldly, and slowly lowered his head to look at Lu Guichen: "You common man! Your ambition to invade God has finally failed, and nothing can stop God's attack!" His expression was majestic and noble, making it impossible to imagine that tens of thousands of bugs had just invaded his body. He strode away and hit Ye Jin hard on the chest, then carried her on his shoulders and disappeared into the rain. Xi Yan panted and rushed to Lu Guichen's side: "Don't be dazed! Chase! Otherwise, the military order will punish you!" "But... what's the matter?" Lu Guichen felt that those insects and ants seemed to be crawling in his mind, which made him collapse. "I don't know, no one knows. The masters of Chenyue have power and can do incredible things. But we must kill him now, the Gu insects have gathered on him and Ye Jin, if we don't kill them, The array of corpses will not end!" "Kill them? Kill Ye Jin?" Lu Guichen's voice trembled. Xi Yan slapped him on the face: "Otherwise, I will kill all your remaining comrades in arms!" Lu Guichen shuddered, recovered from the shock, and gasped for breath. "Quick! They are heading towards the Fire Gate, which has already been breached. There are no city guards and no zombies. He can easily leave the city from there!" Xi Yan yelled at the rain screen, "Bai Yi! Bai Yi! Go to the Fire Gate !Call everyone you can to the Fire Gate!" The white horse pierced through the rain curtain like lightning, galloped past Xi Yan and Lu Guichen, and submerged into the rain curtain again.Bai Yi chased after him without looking back.The two Chu Wei Qingqi who followed his horse got off their horses and quickly put the reins in the hands of Lu Guichen and Xi Yan.
