Dawn of a New Era

In the reception hall of the funeral parlor, the atmosphere was lively.

It's a pity that you can't drink alcohol during work, Mr. Chen, I'll toast you with tea instead of wine! At the dining table, the company commander in charge of the funeral home stood up and said.

As soon as someone from below reported that a martial artist had come, the entire senior management of the funeral parlor was alarmed. Not only the company commander accompanied him, but even the instructor and the deputy company commander came over.

Even the instructors of these people are all military warriors. Compared with ordinary people, they are more aware of the power of martial artists. .

If a company-level troop like theirs hadn't set up their formation, I'm afraid they really wouldn't be able to withstand a sneak attack from others.

Company Commander Zhou, you're welcome! Chen Shouyi said, put down his chopsticks, and touched the teacup.

Taking advantage of the rare opportunity, several people immediately asked for some experience and skills in martial arts practice and combat. Chen Shouyi didn't hide his secrets and answered them all.

Although it's only been a year since he really started practicing martial arts, and he can't compare to anyone sitting here, but in terms of the subtlety of power control and rich combat experience, an ordinary warrior can't compare at all.

After all, no warrior could experience the battle of life and death repeatedly in the virtual memory world like Chen Shouyi.

These are precious treasures, and for others, they must risk their lives to gain experience.

Now Chen Shouyi was already a martial artist of real value in terms of strength, experience, and skill.

One meal took more than two hours.

Chen Shouyi glanced at the gloomy window and said, The atmosphere here seems to be a little off. Nothing happened, right?

Several people looked at each other, and finally the company commander said with a smile: After all, this is a funeral home, where the dead gather, and you know that, given the current environment, it is inevitable, but fortunately, the problem is not big, and it is still under control.

Chen Shouyi had a vague feeling that the other party seemed to be hiding something, but he didn't care. This is the earth, not a different world. No matter how rampant the spirit was, where could it go?

After chatting for a few more words, Chen Shouyi proposed to visit his sister.

Company Commander Zhou immediately offered to accompany him, but Chen Shouyi politely refused.

...

Chen Shouyi left.

The reception hall quickly turned cold, and even the light seemed to be dimmed a little.

It's really powerful! If there is a martial artist sitting here, I'm afraid it can really suppress those spirits who are getting stronger and stronger. The deputy company commander felt the obvious change in the environment and sighed.

What kind of person is a martial artist? He will come to this kind of place. It is my sister who comes here to take a trial class. I am worried, so I come to have a look. Zhou Lianchang shook his head and said with a wry smile.

With the death of Colonel Xiao, there were only two martial arts masters in the entire Jiangnan Province, so how could they be put in the funeral home.

I hope tonight is safe and sound. If something happens to his sister, it will be terrible. The instructor said worriedly. They couldn't bear the anger of a martial artist. Will find them out.

Although it is a bit unlucky to be in charge of the funeral home and the environment is gloomy, it is still much better than going to the front line.

Probably not. It was burned just the day before yesterday. At least it can be stable for a while. Company Commander Zhou said.

At this time, a soldier came running quickly, with an anxious look on his face:

Report!

What's the matter? Zhou Lianchang said, subconsciously looked at the time, it was only eight o'clock, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

Under normal circumstances, the funeral home is most prone to accidents after midnight, and it is very safe before that.

The parasite outbreak, the corpses have filled the morgue!

The faces of several people changed drastically when they heard the words, and they stood up with a bang, and the chairs were taken away.

...

Chen Shouyi walked in the brightly lit corridor.

Looking at the darkness in the distance, strands of mist cling to the ground like living things, swaying slightly. In this cold mist, countless weak spirits are fighting and devouring each other.

many!

Just a glance,

Chen Shouyi saw no fewer than dozens.

During the day, nothing can be seen here, but at night, these spirits emerge from the ground, walls, or other dark corners.

Children, old people, youth, women...

Chen Shouyi felt in a daze that he had entered hell.

Fortunately, in another world, he had seen many such scenes. Faced with such a terrifying scene that would frighten ordinary people, his expression was calm, without the slightest disturbance.

These spirits almost have no sense of mind, most of them have blurred facial features, and are quite weak. They look muddled, and most of them have only instincts left. Bitten, devoured cleanly.

Ironically, these spirits were all of the same kind in life, but after death they devoured each other and became food for each other.

In the corridor, a pale old lady wandered around in a daze, with a faint smile on her wooden face.

The next moment, she screamed heart-piercingly like burning her butt, and ran away desperately.

It's a pity that her speed is too slow.

While escaping, her speed became slower and slower, her figure gradually faded away, and her soul gradually evaporated. With a piercing roar, she turned into a spot of light that was difficult for ordinary people to distinguish with naked eyes, and completely disappeared.

On earth, the ability of my divine creature is too weak! Chen Shouyi estimated the time and shook his head.

It took almost a minute from approaching to the complete dissipation of this spirit. If it was in another world, he wouldn't even need a fraction of a second for such a weak spirit.

Of course, if I use my will, I can instantly kill it.

Immediately, he lifted his feet and walked towards the morgue in front.

...

At this time, not only the corpses had filled the morgue, but there were more than a dozen corpses at the door.

Chen Xingyue and Wu Huifang worked together to lift a dead body off the tricycle and put it on the tarpaulin. They felt physically and mentally exhausted. As for the fear at the beginning, they had already been forgotten, and their nerves were completely numb.

Corpses, all corpses.

The entire body room, including the ones outside, already has no less than 500 corpses, which would be the sum of seven or eight days if it were normal.

In the incineration room next door, it was too late to burn.

From time to time, there were parasites, jumping from the corpse to the ground, jumping around alive and kicking, and was immediately trampled into a pulp.

This is absolutely abnormal! Wu Huifang whispered to Chen Xingyue.

I know! Chen Xingyue nodded and said. Normally, many people would die from parasites. Moreover, these parasites have strong vitality. One can tell at a glance that they are not ordinary parasites, but creatures from another world.

She was silent for a while, then said: I'm afraid that tomorrow, more people will die.

I don't know how the safe zone is? a girl next to him interjected.

It should not be affected yet. These corpses are all from the reservoir.

The atmosphere was silent for a while.

This is the sound of footsteps, coming from a distance.

Suddenly there was a commotion among the crowd, the martial arts teacher saw the figure of the other party, walked over quickly, and said excitedly: Mr. Chen, hello, hello.

He knew Chen Shouyi, and he was the one who arranged for Chen Xingyue to sign up.

Hello, Teacher Kang.

When Chen Xingyue heard the familiar voice, a flash of excitement flashed across her face, she quickly raised her head, and almost blurted out Brother, she felt that he was so pleasing to the eye at this moment.

Chen Shouyi pretended to scan his surroundings, glanced at Chen Xingyue calmly, and chatted with his martial arts teacher.

Wow, the handsome guy is here again. Wu Huifang's eyes sparkled.

The skin is so good!

He seems to be a big shot, why did Mr. Kang call him Mr. Chen?

Several women immediately gathered together again, whispering.

General Manager, that is, Chief Security Advisor. I heard from my dad that one must have the strength of a great warrior to become a General Advisor. There are currently only two Chief Security Advisors in our city, one is Qin Liuyuan and the other is Chen Shouyi and Chen. It's him. Wu Huifang said with bright eyes, her father is a veteran martial artist, and she can be regarded as a family member, and his father usually tells her something about the martial artist circle.

Chen Shouyi's promotion to martial arts was not made public, and only some upper circles knew about it.

However, for their warrior apprentices, they are still unattainable figures.

Chen Xingyue listened to her classmates chattering excitedly, and the original dull atmosphere was swept away. She was expressionless and silent, but looked at her brother from the corner of her eyes from time to time.

Since her brother came, she felt that her heart had finally calmed down completely, and even the cold atmosphere here seemed to have dissipated a lot.

...

Mr. Chen, why don't you give these students a lecture and talk about your experience in martial arts practice. Kang Jiande complimented.

The character of the martial artist is similar to that of a technician in a certain way. He is dull, not good at speaking, and he is not good at communicating. He only focuses on his own field, but Kang Jiande, as a martial arts teacher, is an exception. He can always flatter the horse just right.

Chen Shouyi glanced at it, and all the students were like quails, showing honest smiles. He shook his head and refused with a smile, Forget it.

Then he asked, Why are there so many corpses here?

After Kang Jiande explained the whole story, Chen Shouyi's face became serious.

Parasites! ?

This is not a trivial matter. If it spreads and spreads, how many people will die in Hedong City.

...

Just as he was talking, Company Commander Zhou quickly walked over with a group of soldiers.

He nodded to Chen Shouyi, and then ordered to all the soldiers: All of them, move the corpses to the open space and burn them on the spot.

There was a commotion among the students.

Chen Shouyi also looked a little surprised, but thinking about it, it seems that there is only one way now.

Next, the corpses were carried by soldiers and students to the open space in front of them one by one.

Seeing that Chen Xingyue was carrying these corpses covered with parasites like the other students, Chen Shouyi wanted to speak up several times, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Why don't you call Chen Xingyue over? Tang Jiande suggested in a low voice.

No, just let her exercise. Chen Shouyi shook his head.

My sister is such a face-saving person, in front of her classmates, if she is so special, she will feel ashamed and angry.

For half an hour, the corpses were piled up in the open space to form a mountain of corpses in disorder. Fortunately, the funeral parlor is completely closed and under military control. If the family of the deceased finds out about desecrating the corpse like this, the sky will probably be turned upside down.

The soldiers on the side picked up the diesel barrel, opened the lid, and began to pour a lot of diesel.

ignition!

With one order.

The flames began to burn brightly.

Soon, there was an embarrassing feeling of mystery.

Chen Shouyi lightly covered his nose, his stomach was rolling, and he felt that within a few days, he would not be able to eat any more barbecue.

His eyesight was sharp, and as the flames burned, he saw that the parasites in the corpse seemed to be stimulated by the high temperature, and began to squirm violently under the skin.

At the beginning, there were only one or two, but after a few seconds, it became densely packed, as if countless earthworms were crawling inside.

These earthworms were as small as a needle, and as thick as a little finger, about half a foot long. Several parasites tried to get out of the mouth and nose of the corpse, but when they touched the flames, they quickly retracted into the body.

The atmosphere was quiet for a while.

Only the beeping of flames burning corpses.

The fire was burning hotter and hotter, and the smoke was billowing.

However, there were too many corpses, and it was impossible to burn all the corpses at once. At the same time, new corpses were brought in and put into the fire. During this period, the fire was turned off several times. Diesel was poured on again and the burning continued.

It was not until three hours later that all the bodies were burned to ashes.

...

The night was getting darker.

The morgue became empty, with only a few dozen corpses placed inside.

Chen Xingyue and her classmates helped clean the morgue, and then sprinkled lime on the ground. After everything was done, she yawned and secretly glanced at Chen Shouyi.

His mind was a little unbalanced, he was so busy, but his brother had nothing to do.

I want to go to the bathroom, is there anyone going with me? At this moment a female classmate said out loud.

I'll go with you.

I'll go as well!

Xingyue, are you going?

Chen Xingyue hesitated slightly, the bathroom was a bit far away, and it was already midnight, but as the monitor, she still nodded.

Several girls set off together and walked to the door.

Tang Jiande, who was asking Chen Shouyi for advice, came back to his senses and asked, Where are you going?

Go to the bathroom!

Go and come back quickly! Tang Jiande didn't care. Several classes have come to experience the funeral parlor, and there is no problem.

As for Chen Shouyi, he didn't even care. He glanced at his sister and saw that she was pretending to be calm and her eyes wandered, and he couldn't help but feel amused.

He watched several people leave and continued chatting with Tang Jiande.

However, after talking for a few words, he heard a scream.

As soon as Tang Jiande came back to his senses, he felt the ground tremble slightly, and at the same time, a gust of wind blew past. He quickly looked into the corridor, but he couldn't see Mr. Chen's figure.

So fast.

In half a second, Chen Shouyi had already rushed to the toilet.

A few girls stood at the door of the toilet, their faces pale and frightened. Chen Shouyi was relieved to see that Chen Xingyue was safe and sound.

What happened?

Brother, go and save Tian Zhenzhen. As soon as Chen Xingyue saw Chen Shouyi, it was as if she had seen life-saving straws. She immediately grabbed his arm tightly, her whole body trembling slightly.
