Earth Upgrade [End Times]

Sheng Yan walked to the back of a house, and couldn't bear the pain in his feet, so he leaned forward and almost fell.

Yu Feng carried him on his back, looked around, and said to everyone, "Go over there."

There were broken walls and ruins standing in the wasteland, and there were very few intact houses. He signaled everyone to go to a seemingly isolated house tens of meters away.

This is a small wooden house with two rooms in total. The large one should be the living area and the small one is the kitchen. The house has been standing here for many years. material.

After getting closer to check the materials, Sheng Yan said in surprise, "It's iron wood."

Qiao Si'an and Wang Ke worked together to put Zhou Xue into a corner of the room, Wei Weiwei hit the wall with the sharp tip of the ice cube, and concluded, "It's very hard."

Yufeng locked the door after setting up the banquet.

There are all tables and beds in the room. He opened the cabinet to check the items. The clothes and bedding inside were still there, but they smelled musty and would break if pulled a little.

Qiao Si'an and Wang Kewei Weiwei also joined the ranks of investigation.

There is a window on the back of the wooden house. The window is intact and open.

There is a pair of tables and chairs under the window, and a bookshelf stands on the wall, on which there are several books, as well as old pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

Too tall for the feast to stand upright and no way to view.

He sat on a chair to check the external environment, and was shocked to find that the maple forest that existed in the morning in front of him was sunken in a large area at this moment, and the mud trees collapsed, and the top of the tree could not be seen, as if there was a huge hollow underneath.

"Look over there." Sheng Yan pointed out the window.

The room was small, and we walked to the window in a few steps, and everyone stared at the collapsed place.

Qiao Si'an said: "The previous earthquake was caused by the collapse here, right?"

Wang Ke answered, "Why did it collapse suddenly? Could it be that there was a cellar under there, and the surface was cracked by the strong sea wind, and finally collapsed after a day and a night?"

Qiao Si'an rolled her eyes: "Who's cellar is so big? Good guy, the whole maple forest has disappeared, and its area is half the size of a village."

Feast: "I have a bad feeling."

This kind of anxious mood made him treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor, and took out the medicine bag Duchen gave him.

"Everyone carries a gun with them just in case, there is hay and wood under the eaves, and they dig wood to make a fire and cook something to supplement energy."

The medicine package Du Chen gave was a vacuum package that kept pace with the times, and the inside was paste-like crushed medicinal materials.

He took it to his nose and sniffed lightly: "The ingredients are indeed detoxifying herbs."

Yu Feng came over while he was taking medicine to apply to the wound: "Wait."

Feast: "What's wrong?"

"Let me take a look." Yufeng took the medicine bag to check, and after a while he concluded: "It is beneficial and harmless, it can be used."

Wang Ke was stunned: "Do you understand this unknown object?"

Qiao Si'an also complained: "It looks like boiled chopped vegetables, or the kind that boiled and add some water for half a month."

Even Wei Weiwei, who was slightly gloomy along the way, gave Shengyan and Yufeng their eyes for a few seconds.

Generally speaking, the effect of herbal medicine is slower than that of western medicine, but the one given by Du Chen is not. After applying it to the wound for a while, Sheng Yan felt that his strength recovered a little, "I feel that it will be no problem to last for another three or four days."

Yu Feng said at this time: "I'll go over there to check."

Sheng Yan smiled bitterly: "If I am not poisoned, everyone can explore together. The ghosts appear after the collapse. There may be gains in going there."

He asked: "Sitting and waiting is not an option, let's divide into two ways, Zhou Xue and I stay in the wooden house, you go there together."

Yufeng: "No, we need a person who can move normally to stay behind."

Zhou Xue fell into a coma halfway, and has not yet woken up. They all left, which is equivalent to leaving the two sick patients in the house, and it is easy for ghosts to come to the door.

After she finished speaking, Zhou Xue weakly opened her eyes after hearing a few light coughs.

She looked at everyone guiltily: "Thank you for believing in me, but because of me, you were forced to leave the base, sorry."

Sheng Yan said with a smile: "We are not too unsuitable for that kind of environment, so we don't need to feel guilty."

Zhou Xue felt even more guilty.

She paused for a few seconds, struggled to stand up against the wall, approached the window, and looked directly at the destroyed maple forest, "Don't go and check, there is a strong and cold air coming out from there, I can feel it , there is an extremely powerful thing living there, and he has extremely strong resentment and hostility."

Sheng Yan was surprised: "Can you sense this?"

Zhou Xue: "Well, this is my ability. It's called Paper Ghost. It makes me look weird like a paper doll in a yin and yang shop. My aura and body have also undergone slight changes. Although I still look like a human being, my essence is He is no longer human, so he has a strong sense of these supernatural things.”

She paused and said: "Ghosts become powerful by eating people. What the little monk said is correct, but in fact, ghosts can also be eaten. I was in human form when I was stabbed in the heart by ghosts. Suppression, in fact, is already dead, but my heart was saved by the eruption of ghost energy from the ghost energy bead left by the ghost bone, the ghost energy beads can swallow ghosts or protect ghosts, I don't know why he didn't swallow me."

At this time Qiao Si'an and Wang Kewei Weiwei searched the house thoroughly, Wei Weiwei pointed to a picture scroll hidden behind the closet and said, "Look."

The painting presents a maple forest, and a human-shaped shadow lies on a boulder under a certain tree.

Sheng Yan only looked at it for a moment, and said: "During the period of the Republic of China, the painter sat in my current position, and the scene depicted was the maple forest in front. At that time, the trees in the maple forest were all young and arranged neatly. In that painting People don't know if it has something to do with ghosts."

After thinking for a while, he said, "It is necessary to search the room carefully to see if there is a hidden compartment."

Wang Ke complained: "How could there be a hidden compartment in this palm-sized place, and it's not a rich person who tried his best to hide money."

Sheng Yan: "Just search. Have you ever seen a house made of iron and wood? Besides, iron and wood are built inside the house and ordinary wood is used as a cover. This is strange no matter how you look at it."

The window faces the west, the sky is gray and cloudy, and it is raining continuously. Sheng Yan sits upright, as if holding a pen and painting, and stares ahead.

Maybe it was an illusion, he felt that there was a straightforward coldness all over his body at this moment.

He shivered, rubbed his arms lightly, and suddenly heard someone talking outside the window, it was the indifferent voice of a young man.

"Does it look good?"

Sheng Yan's face turned pale, and he pretended to be calm and looked up. There was nothing in front of the window, but the scenery ahead changed.

The cloudy and drizzle changed to a sunny day, and there was a lonely autumn outside, the stream was winding outside the window, and the red maple was like fire.

Standing under the big tree on the other side of the stream was a young man dressed as a knight.

Sheng Yan couldn't see the other person's face clearly, but felt the cold wind blowing, making people feel like falling into an ice cave.

"Feast." Someone patted him on the shoulder, Sheng Yan suddenly came back to his senses, and the foreground and coldness faded away.

"A ghost upper body?" Yu Feng frowned.

Sheng Yan shook his head: "I don't know, I seemed to be hallucinating just now."

At this time, Zhou Xue suddenly screamed and fell to the ground.

When everyone looked over, she stopped screaming and searched around with terrified eyes: "Something attacked me with Taoism, and it disappeared now."

Sheng Yan was in shock, and Wei Weiwei made a new discovery.

She smashed a wooden board in the corner, took out a thick stack of drawing paper from it, and piled it on the desk.

Joss was looking at the bookshelf, and brought a few books from the hidden compartment on the back.

Wang Ke rummaged through boxes and boxes, but found nothing.

Everyone gathered around the desk, Zhou Xue looked at the feast with apprehension: "You have Taoism left on your body, it was by your side just now."

The serious paper ghost Zhou Xue was talking to them by his side, and having seen ghost bones, everyone was known for their courage. Although they were frightened, they did not panic.

Shengyan's rational analysis: "So there is another person in this room besides us. It attacks you with Taoism. It is probably an upright person. Even if it is a ghost, it is not an evil ghost. Otherwise, sister Zhou Xue should have sensed him early in the morning instead of being caught. It was only discovered after the attack, of course, it cannot be ruled out that it was triggered passively because of something everyone did, and when the opportunity disappeared, it disappeared.”

Qiao Si'an rubbed the goose bumps on his arms: "Although, it's still creepy, it's going to be dark soon, do we really have to stay here?"

Wei Weiyi's cold face also showed a little fear at this moment, and his eyes flicked around the room.

Zhou Xuedao: "It doesn't have murderous intentions, so there should be no problem."

Sheng Yan opened the drawing paper: "Let's see if there is any information about the village in these things."

The whole stack of drawing paper was 10 centimeters long. He turned the pages one by one, and saw that there was a maple forest inside. Sometimes there was a person standing under the tree, sometimes that person was standing on the single-plank bridge, sometimes he was sleeping, and sometimes he was laughing.

These paintings are not monotonous ink paintings, but watercolors. The author's painting skills are very good, and the people in the paintings are wonderful and charming. It can be seen that he is a handsome young man.

In the paintings on the top layer, the boy is always smiling. The further you scroll down, the more immature the painting, the characters' lines are not so smooth, and the facial expressions are slightly cold.

When I turned to the last few pages, there was a wasteland with wild grass and wild flowers, and in front of it was a stream and a sycamore tree.

The simple characters stand against the tree, with their faces slightly sideways, as if they are looking at the person in the painting.

There is a crooked small character at the bottom of the painting.

"I've been driven to live in this abandoned house for a long time. Everyone was afraid and hated me, but this big brother didn't hate me, and asked me if I look good? Looks good! Very good-looking! The most beautiful in the world ∩_∩! But I dare not say, because he is a ghost."

Yufeng flipped through the books beside him: "Some methods of practicing Taoism."

Qiao Si'an said: "Only this information, nothing else."

Feast summed it up: "The one who lives in the house is a self-taught Taoist priest. He had a rough childhood. There was a ghost living opposite. They knew each other and even developed some deep emotions."

Qiao Si'an said: "If you can be [-]% sure that the ghost is the person in the painting, things may turn around. He has advanced intelligence and can negotiate."

Feast: "Seal the village and create ghost bones. He will definitely take other actions. We already know this information, and we are roughly sure that he is the person in the painting. There is no need to go to the collapsed place to investigate. Take the time to recover your strength, etc. He came."

Qiao Si'an opened the wooden door to move the wood with everyone, and Sheng Yan closed the window that made him feel uncomfortable.

Only Sheng Yan and Yu Feng have learned how to drill wood to make fire. Now, Sheng Yan is one of the wounded, and the task naturally falls on Yu Feng.

When Yu Feng suddenly stopped moving after 2 minutes, Sheng Yan found a problem.

"Feng, come here." Sheng Yan said, and the next moment he said to Qiao Si'an: "Squad leader, use your ability to drill wood like Feng did before."

He had a rare serious expression, and Qiao Si'an and Wang Ke looked at each other in blank dismay, and went to work together.

Wei Weiwei sat by the door, pointed at the crack of the door and watched the outside vigilantly.

She saw a group of people approaching the wooden house in a straight line. It was already dark outside, and the violent wind and rain were beating on everything, mixed with rumbling thunder and occasional flashes of lightning.

In a split second of "daylight", Wei Weiwei could clearly see that it was Old Zhao and the survivors, some of them were carrying a crudely made wooden stretcher, and there was a person lying on the stretcher.

Wei Weiwei slammed the door shut to block out the faint fire in the room.
