in the ancient last days

Chu Zhao walked in the front with a lamp. The entire underground passage was pitch-black, and the faint yellow halo in the area under their feet flickered as they advanced.

Chu Zhao walked in the front, and the people behind him followed him cautiously.

Fatty shrunk in size, and being held in Li Xingsu's arms seemed quite comfortable, so he meowed coquettishly.

Chu Zhao in front of him looked back, his face was silent, but his heart was a little jealous: "Little丨色丨猫".

The vice-team tightly held the hand of the captain of the sixth team. It was ridiculous to say that he was always afraid of the dark, who had always been calculating and bold. After a pause, he slowly clenched the opponent's hand.

The deputy pushed his glasses.

Chu Zhao found a sand wall in front of him, he picked up a stone and threw it, and the sand wall dispersed.

He continued to bring a few people in, and when he saw something, his eyes widened slightly: "This is...!"

The few people behind had forgotten to breathe.

In front of you is a dark cave, on the rock wall of the cave, countless natural gemstones, opal, lapis lazuli, ruby ​​crystal... In the cave of dim light, it reflects the fascinating brilliance The streamers are densely inlaid on the bi, just like a peerless beauty who has never seen the light of day.

Several people were already dumbstruck, bathed in a piece of precious light, they forgot to breathe.

Jewels that are priceless in modern times are buried here in dark caves.

If Chu Zhao and the others hadn't come to the mutant rat's cave, these gems might not have seen the light of day for the rest of their lives.

Pangpang didn't even want Li Xingsu's fragrant embrace, jumped off the ground excitedly, turned around the wall, meowed non-stop at the shiny gemstones, his pupils glistened.

Chu Zhao lost his mind for a moment, then turned his eyes away and said, "These gems have the ability to confuse the mind, so don't stare at them for too long."

Hearing the words of the city lord, the people who were about to fall into the bright jewels hurriedly looked away. Li Xingxu was not affected and continued to follow Chu Zhao.

Feeling the faint strength, Chu Zhao held up the lantern.

The light of the fire illuminated everything within ten steps, and through the light, Chu Zhao saw the small white flowers gradually swaying and blooming on the stone platform at the end of the road.The petals have strange shapes, they obviously grow in the dark underground, but the branches and leaves are very vigorous, faintly revealing a strange green color.

As soon as you see it, you know that this flower is different.

Chu Zhao looked along the root of the flower and saw a few black fragments in the soil, and the power emanated from here.

Could it be because of these fragments that the flower draws its strength to grow?

This is the cave of the mutant rat, and the mutation of the other party may also be related to this dark fragment.

Chu Zhao took out a gray handkerchief and carefully wrapped the flower with the soil.

During this period, Li Xingsu had been staring at his movements intently.

"Young Master, what should we do with the corpse of this mutated mouse?"

After confiscating the gems and flowers in the cave, the leader of the sixth team and the mutant rat corpse dragged by the deputy team asked out of breath.

The captain of the sixth team scratched his head, and turned his gaze to the eyes of the huge mutant mouse on the ground, feeling a little bit reluctant?

"I always feel that if I just throw it away like this, it would be a waste..."

The deputy team pushed their glasses and nodded in agreement. After all, they worked so hard to lay it down, so it's a pity to throw it away like this.

"Well, since you're reluctant..." Chu Zhao stroked his chin, and suddenly thought of a solution.

After a few minutes.

Li Xingsu: "..."

"Chu Zhao, is this the solution you mentioned?"

The tantalizing and tempting aroma of meat overflowed, Chu Zhao held up a bunch of roasted rat meat, frowned and took a bite: "Well, it tastes like pork belly." Hearing this, he glanced at him: "I like to eat it or not, and I don't feel compelled to eat it." you."

Li Xingsu's face was messed up in the wind, he really couldn't accept eating oshu....

The roast meat entered his belly, and a hot current spread out from his belly. Chu Zhao felt his whole body relax, his limbs and bones warmed up, and the muscles that were sore from fighting gradually relaxed.

He secretly thought: Sure enough, there is something special in the flesh of the mutated rat.The power that humans cannot absorb, but can be obtained from violent mutant animals, if so... He thought about the hundreds of insect corpses in his game package, and suddenly felt a sense of ecstasy.

The feeling of getting rich overnight?

There were golden scorched marks, and an alluring fragrance gradually emanated from the shelf. Li Xingxu, who was still stubbornly resisting at first, stared at the skewer of barbecued meat, and swallowed uncomfortably, it smells so good, how could it be so fragrant... .

Chu Zhao shook the wooden skewer: "Master, I heard that you don't usually eat meat, such an opportunity is rare, are you sure you want to miss it?"

After finishing speaking, he sprinkled a bunch of cumin powder and chili powder on the barbecue, and the fragrant and seductive smell kept penetrating into the tip of Li Xingxiu's nose. The rationality and impulse in his mind were constantly fighting, and Li Xingxu's mouth had already unknowingly slowly opened.

Chu Zhao looked a little funny.

Pangpang ate his mouth full of oil, and patted Chu Zhao's thigh hard with his furry paws, dissatisfied, meow, why is the master in a daze, meow, and roast meow for himself!

Unable to hold back, while Chu Zhao was turning around to feed Pang Pang, Li Xingsu quickly picked up a bunch, chewed them calmly, and his eyes gradually became brighter.

Chu Zhao glanced at it, then turned his head to touch Chubby's ear, raised his head and smiled, "Hurry up and eat, we'll start working when we're full."

The smile on the corner of his mouth made people feel that he was in a good mood.

Although I don't know why Master Shaojun suddenly became in a good mood, the captain of the sixth team was also very happy, and ate hungrily. This mutant mouse is so delicious!

Seeing someone snatching food, Pang Pang instantly accelerated his eating speed, his eyes were fierce, and he flicked his tail in the air while eating, meow, it's all fat meow! !Aww, the master will bake some more meow~

.....

A group of people returned to the city with the corpse of the mutated rat, and instantly attracted people from the whole city to watch.

Even the child who had just been weaned for a few days was sitting on top of his father's head, babbling and pointing at the giant mutant mouse carried by the team, excited: "Brain tree, brain tree (mouse, mouse)! "

Seeing this, Chu Zhao couldn't help but twitched his mouth, and the captain of the sixth team puffed up his chest proudly.

"The Taoist chief should have a headache," the deputy team pushed his glasses. "Judging from the expressions in the eyes of the women on the street, the threshold of the Taoist chief's house will be broken by matchmakers from all over the city in the next three days."

"Agan, why don't you say Shaojun? Shaojun is also very popular!" The captain of the sixth team objected.

Vice-team: "Fool, Daochang Li's identity is obviously closer than Shaojun's."

Li Xingsu smiled, and Chu Zhao could always surprise him. Looking at the eyes on the street, he could somewhat understand why Chu Zhao had to carry the mutated rat into the city with his subordinates even though he clearly had the spell of heaven and earth but didn't use it.

This city is very strange, and the people living here have a vitality that he has not seen elsewhere.

It is his luck to see such a city in the troubled times, and all this is due to the owner of this city, Xincheng Chu Shaojun.

It seems that he made the right choice to come to Xincheng. Chu Zhao may be the one who can end this troubled world.

Chu Zhao himself had no idea what Li Xingsu was thinking, so he sent someone to find Sun Dahu and Hong Ping.

"Huh, huh, young master, what did you call me for?" Duhu asked, running over in a hurry, seeing the corpse of the mutated rat behind Chu Zhao with an adoring expression.

The young master is truly amazing!

"Young master, you should bring Dahu with you when you go out this time. Don't say anything else, Dahu can help you carry it back..." Dahu scratched his hair, and was excited when he heard Chu Zhao's words: "What, barbecue Dinner?!"

"That's right," Chu Zhao said with a smile, amplifying his voice deliberately: "Order, take this mutated mouse and the worm corpse I brought from Qujiang to deal with, and we will have a city-wide barbecue in Xincheng tonight! "

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh"

The people who heard it rejoiced, the little boy was thrown high by his father excitedly, and he was stared at in disapproval when he saw it. The newborn is very precious now!

"Hey," his father put down his raised hand awkwardly, and scratched the child's nose: "Eat meat."

The little kid laughed so hard he couldn't see his teeth: "Puff, puff! Eat meat!"

"Hahaha." His father smiled happily.

At night, there are bonfires in Xincheng.

Chu Zhao sat with the eldest princess and Chu's father. There were several fires burning in the open space in front of them. Smoke curled up into the sky, and the aroma of barbecue filled the air.

Chu Zhao bowed his head and pulled three skewers over. While spreading honey, he asked Chu Changqing, "Do you want pepper?"

"Yes! Please Zhao'er add more."

"No, Dad, you've eaten enough, you can't add more. Eating too much is bad for your stomach."

Chu Changqing's face was obviously a little disappointed.Since eating chili with the eldest princess, the door to a new world has been opened.

Hearing his son's ban was like lightning from the sky.

Chu Zhao raised his forehead, he didn't expect that his parents love spicy food so damn much, and now they can't enjoy it any more. A few days ago, the husband and wife had blisters at the corners of their mouths because they ate too much mutton skewers, but they still didn't change their temperament.

These few days of persuasion and persuasion made him almost exhausted physically and mentally.

The eldest princess was talking softly with Chu Yinyue, and when she felt something, Danfeng's eyes shot straight over like searchlights.

Chu Zhao's right wrist trembled just like that.A little bit of pepper was shaken off like a grain of salt, in stark contrast to the long meat skewers, he: "..."

Without changing his face, he switched to the other hand.

The eldest princess pursed her lips in satisfaction, and continued to communicate with her aunt.Father Chu took his skewers without chili peppers, cast serious eyes, and wanted to discuss with the child again, such as treating the child like his mother, and getting some powder?

the other side of the field.

Ye Ling squeezed his ass to Liuli's field, and just sat down, the girls present immediately stopped their movements and looked at him one after another.

"Vice President, you..." The girl hesitated to speak.

They were all female nurses from the medical team. It was too eye-catching for a man like Ye Ling to squeeze in so carelessly.

Ye Ling didn't think so at all. He waved a paper fan in the winter, looking like a romantic boy, "What do you want to eat, Liuli? I'll roast it for you! Would you like to try roasted vegetables? Look, this lettuce , healthy and delicious...."

Ye Xuanzhan, who was a few steps away, covered his lips in embarrassment. He silently turned his face away, hoping that no one in the room would remember that he was Ye Ling's father.

Xiao Yu'er monopolizes Master's favor, laughs so hard that he can't see the bottom of his teeth, and feels that his senior brother is so pleasing to the eye tonight.

At this time, Li Xingsu stood up wearing a Taoist uniform, walked in front of Chu Zhao, and broke the silence.

"Young Master, can I take a step to speak?"

The movement was noticed by a group of people in the distance. Seeing that Master Li took the initiative to look for Chu Zhao as if he had something to do, he couldn't help but whispered in doubt.

Chu Zhao raised his head and looked back at Li Xingsu who was smiling.

Chu Changqing drank and patted him on the shoulder: "Go." Boy, go and exchange feelings with your subordinates, there is a father here!

After Chu Zhao left, he quietly reached out to the small bottle containing chili powder.

……

In the dark night, under the thick ancient pine tree with their arms around each other, Chu Zhao said lightly to Li Xingsu, "What can you do with me?"

"I came to Shaojun to reveal my identity to you. I am ashamed to say that I have not shown any Taoism before in order not to reveal my identity. So I am very curious, what is Shaojun's name in the battle on the sand today? How do you know that I am proficient in divination?"

"??"

Chu Zhao stared at Li Xingsu strangely.

I couldn't help but curl my lips, and finally told the other party the truth: "Actually, I didn't know that you would be able to calculate. Even if you didn't help me today, I wouldn't know. In the end, you stood up by yourself."

Li Xingsu was silent, and found that Chu Zhao was right. Thinking about it carefully, the other party had no intention of putting him in danger by arranging him on the mountainside.

The opponent has calculated everything, if he is defeated by the mutated rat, that distance is enough for the deputy team to take him out of danger.

Li Xingsu sighed: "I misunderstood Young Master."

Chu Zhao: "What about you, what are you going to do when you come to Xincheng?"

He could tell that the other party was different from other people who came to the new city after the doomsday. With the other party's ability, even if they didn't come to the new city, they could live well anywhere.

"To tell you the truth—I am the third-generation single-handed disciple of Xuanyang Palace No. 70."

"Before the fall of the sky, the master should have this calamity in this world. Watching the stars at night, he found a red star accompanied by the Big Dipper rising into the sky, so Pindao followed the order of his master to go down the mountain to find the person who broke the situation."

"What do you think I am doing? Could it be... Is it possible that the one who broke the situation was me?"

Chu Zhao twitched the corner of his mouth.

Li Xingsu smiled: "It seems that Shaojun has already guessed it."

Chu Zhao: "??"

He was just kidding!

Li Xingxu's eyes were sympathetic, and he said with a smile: "There is no turning point in this catastrophe. I went down the mountain and passed through Xincheng, but found that the scene here is different from other places. Chu Shaojun, you are a rare and interesting person."

Chu Zhao: "If you're looking for someone to save the world, you're looking for the wrong one. I don't have that ambition, nor do I have that ability."

Looking at the fire in the distance through the foliage, it is reflected in the eyes, just like sparks.

He thought a lot about things before time travel, his childhood after time travel, and the figures who left him.

"My ability is limited. What I can do now is to protect the people in Xincheng. Li Xingsu, you have no problem staying in Xincheng. Do something....I won't let you go."

Chu Zhao said coldly, his deep dark eyes were as cold as a wolf in the night.

Li Xingsu watched him turn and leave.

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

Father Chu: Go son!Go and communicate with your subordinates.

(Look quietly shifted to the small bottle of pepper~)

Some digressions:

Tomorrow is Ching Ming Festival. I would like to express my deep condolences and blessings to the martyrs who died in the fight against the epidemic, the compatriots who died, as well as the front-line medical staff and volunteers.Recently, I have read a lot of news about the epidemic situation abroad, and I am deeply touched. I am honored to live in such a powerful country!

I wish all the little angels are safe and sound. At this time, the only thing I can do is to try to update every day and accompany you.

PS: It is raining in the city where I live today, and then the knuckles of my right hand hurt, as if I used my hands too much QAQ.I checked the doctor's advice and said that it is best not to use cold water when washing your hands, and then I used the active oil that my grandma gave me, and it seems that there is no serious problem for the time being.

The second watch is waiting for me to finish coding in the morning, and it will be released at around [-] noon, so chirp~
