Earth Upgrade [End Times]

"I thought what I speculated was the worst ending, but I didn't expect it could be even worse."

The scenery inside the ghost gate is changing, the blood moon and the land full of Bianhua flowers distort and dissipate, and the lush green appears and disappears in this chaotic time and space.

At the end of Shen Qingliu's memories, Sheng Yan grabbed the imperial seal and ran away, and at this time he had already run near the gate of the ghost gate.

The heavy door was twisting, and the outside scene could be seen through the crack that was accidentally opened.

The desolate yellow sand rolled, distorting the surroundings into a huge oil painting, and Daju stood in front of the gate of hell, like a mistaken stroke in the thick ink.

One of its paws pressed against the door, and it penetrated easily.

It rushed into the gate of hell, trying to roll up the feast and imperial seal, but all it touched was nothingness.

The world is dissipating, collapsing, and everyone gathers until it is swallowed by ink.

"Crash..."

"Woooooooo..."

The dense explosions and howling ghosts and wolves rang in the ears, and the feast suddenly woke up.

He kept lying on the steering wheel and raised his head. The high beams penetrated the storm and illuminated a world. This is the big turn where he braked suddenly when he hit a ghost.

Qiao Si'an's surprised voice came from behind: "Hey, why are we in the car?"

Wang Ke was confused: "Is this reality or a ghost realm?"

Wei Weiwei stared out the window: "There is a truck with lights on in the rear lane, and the lights in the service area are on."

Yu Feng looked down at his watch: "Three o'clock in the morning."

The big orange meowed to show its existence, it silently changed its sleeping position, and put its butt on the rear of the car.

Sheng Yan glanced back at everyone: "Go down and check, or continue driving?"

Qiao Si'an and Wang Ke said in unison: "Drive."

Wei Weiwei said coldly: "Someone got off that car, it was the person I met in the service area."

Feast started the car: "The temperature has picked up, it should be a normal world now, let's take a walk to see."

The van made half a circle around the curve, and finally drove to the straight section. Their field of vision broke into the hill surrounded by mountains, and the tiny shadow of the Taoist temple stood quietly on the hill.

After crossing another mountain suspected to be Jingmo Ridge, the front is a flat jungle.

At the end of the jungle, there are a few firefly-like light spots, they stop lightly on the road, and turn into a group of white figures in the distance.

Feast puts on the brakes.

Parked right in front of the car were female ghosts and Shen Qingliu, and behind them, a group of ghosts who had participated in the selection stood quietly.

Shen Qingliu was still a blur as always. Due to the loss of a large amount of ghost energy, the female ghost's figure and facial features were somewhat blurred, as if covered by a layer of fog, but her ability to think independently was still there.

She didn't approach or open her mouth, but her voice echoed clearly in the car.

"When I was young, I was gifted with outstanding talent. I was known as a rare genius in cultivating in a hundred years. Because of my outstanding appearance, I was sought after by many men and envied by women. That day, I only knew how to overdraw my life by the spring and kill those three fellow disciples, but I didn't know what happened after that. And a special experience."

"I have been investigating why I have dreamed for several years, so I often run around, go to various dangerous places to find the magical objects that can be dreamed back, but all return in vain. The memory engraved in the soul will not deceive me, it is I Back then, I was too stupid to believe in villains and abandon my relatives.”

"I have cut off my Taoist partner and decided to practice the ghost way. I am afraid that my life will be the life of a lone star because of my Taoist partner. I have been dead for too long, and I have nothing else to give you. The patriarch asked for a deed, and he gave me two. If one is cut off by me, this one will be given to you? Even this deed, heaven and earth, hell and hell, can’t stop you from meeting each other.”

A red line suddenly appeared in front of the feast. If you look closely, you can see the word "Yue Lao".

"Thank you." The female ghost's voice spread again, and the figures of her, Shen Qingliu and all the ghosts turned into fluorescent lights and disappeared into the vast rainy night.

Sheng Yan picked up the red thread and tied it around his wrist a few times, using it as a bracelet, "Now we can be sure that we really left the dungeon."

Qiao Si'an watched his movements from behind: "Why did you tie the red thread to yourself?"

Feast's hippie smiley face: "Guess."

He started the car and drove through the rain.

Qiao Si'an turned to look at Yu Feng, and found that he was still indifferent, without any expression.

She sighed softly: "Oh..."

Wei Weiwei tilted his head slightly, looked at her, and then continued to pay attention to the outside world.

"Boom buzz..."

The huge roar pierced through the wind and rain and penetrated into everyone's ears. Several beams of strong lights lit up in the forest in front of the right, and the looming shape of the helicopter was outlined in the shadows of trees in the night.

"We're still alive!"

"Get out of here!"

There were a total of 15 people in the cabin including the captain. Everyone woke up one after another from a deep sleep. Excited to survive, they eagerly urged the captain to start the helicopter.

The captain was sweating profusely, but the rotor speed tended to be static, and finally calmed down. He turned on the walkie-talkie with trembling hands, and the words burst out like a cannonball, "Headquarters, the helicopter is malfunctioning and cannot take off. Please support!"

The van passed by the helicopter, and through the rain-washed glass and the bright light inside, they could see fifteen humans inside.

Qiao Si'an snorted, "There are Yuan Fei and Qingyu inside, shall we go down and have a look?"

Feast: "No, they will contact the headquarters for support, and there should be no more terrorist incidents in this area."

The car passed by slowly, and Wei Weiwei stared at the helicopter coldly. By a window, Yuan Fei was urgently repairing Qingyu's chest with supernatural powers, but the wound on Qingyu's heart was still bleeding.

Yuan Fei finally realized that it was futile, and she said sadly, "Dead? Why did you die?"

Wei Weiwei read her lips, suddenly smiled lowly, leaned back lazily on the back of the chair and closed his eyes to rest.

Qiao Si'an looked at her in confusion: "Why are you laughing?"

Wei Weiwei spoke briskly: "I found something interesting."

Yu Feng withdrew his gaze from the helicopter, and stared at the road ahead with a calm expression.

Arriving at the entrance of the expressway at [-]:[-] in the morning, the rain has greatly reduced and the driving road has become unimpeded.

After everyone's unanimous agreement, Shengyan planned to drive Wang Ke home, but they encountered a problem just after passing the ramp.

A long section of the road ahead was flooded by rain because of the low terrain, and cars could not enter at all.

Wang Ke thanked everyone for their kindness, and said, "Just send it here. I have the speed ability. I will walk all the way in the middle of the forest, and I will be home soon. I am still waiting for you in Z city. Let's go, thank you for this journey." .”

He didn't give everyone a chance to refuse, and strode into the woods with a cool wave.

His back was gradually covered by the trees, and only his voice echoed in the sky, "Take care, we will meet later."

Everyone got in the car, drove the car back to the highway, and then got out to eat on the spot.

After resting for half an hour, he changed his seal and drove. Sheng Yan sat on the co-pilot and spread out the map, "Let's not go to the service area on the way."

Qiao Si'an nodded quickly and seriously: "Resolutely don't go, I have a psychological shadow on the service area!"

Sheng Yan pointed to a certain place on the map: "It was sunny in the first half of the day. Let's speed up and reach this small county town at one o'clock in the afternoon. How about we rest here for the night?"

Qiao Si'an: "No problem."

Wei Weiwei said, "Yes."

Yufeng: "Yes."

Arrived at the small county at 12:30 noon, and found a gas station to fill up the gas. Everyone found a house in the building complex closest to the expressway to rest.

The night went surprisingly smoothly.

At six o'clock in the morning, everyone packed up their bags and set off for City Z. There were puddles of water everywhere along the way.

Sheng Yan pays attention to the surrounding scenery, only to see dense mountains and forests, vast lakes and rivers, at a glance, the traces of human beings are being eroded by the ever-expanding nature.

He stared at the intertwined trees and muttered to himself, "Is it an illusion? The trees are growing collectively."

Qiao Si'an frowned: "I have a feeling that I am entering the depths of the primeval forest. Were there such dense and large trees on this highway before?"

Wei Weiwei stared at the sky, and saw a flock of sparrows flying by, and they were surprisingly big.

"Not normal," she said.

Sheng Yan grinned: "Is it because of Lingbao?"

Qiao Si'an leaned on the window and looked: "It is said that there is a spirit treasure in Daxing'an Mountains, guided by the rainbow, why didn't I see it?"

Feast: "Who knows, let's talk about it in the city."

Arriving in City Z at ten o'clock in the morning, Qiao Si'an proposed to get off at a certain fork in the road.

Wei Weiwei also took advantage of the opportunity to get off the car, the reason was to go to Daxinganling.

Sheng Yan and Yu Feng said goodbye to them, and after driving for another ten minutes, they were blocked by a road submerged in deep water.

They had to get out of the car and walk.

Daju slept for a long time yesterday, and continued to sleep in the car early in the morning. Now that he got off the car, he was refreshed and jumped up to the bridge.

"Let's go up too." Sheng Yan stretched his arms and legs and walked towards the overpass.

City Z is not developed, and the urban drainage system is also very poor. At a glance, it is surrounded by low buildings and ordinary street trees.The continuous torrential rain formed a large area of ​​water in City Z, causing many houses to be submerged in shallow water.

Most of the water is only shallow enough to submerge a person's ankles, and a bit deeper up to the knees.

The section of road that blocked their car's way was downhill, and the deepest point was nearly two meters below the horizon. The car would definitely be scrapped if it went in.

They stepped on the water and climbed to the roof, intending to make a detour.

"Fortunately, it's not very far from the orphanage. It's an hour's walk." Sheng Yan had fun in bitterness.

When he reached the highest point of the overpass, Yu Feng stared at the water surface in the deep water area, and suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

Yan Yan turned his head and followed his gaze to look at Shen Shui: "Why?"

The water was cloudy, with leaves and branches floating, and a log moving slowly on the surface.

Sheng Yan looked up at the sky: "The wind hasn't blown yet, so what's moving?"

Another piece of wood floated to the surface of the water and slowly moved to both sides.

Sheng Yan sensed something was wrong from this action, and pulled the imperial seal to greet Daju, "Run!"

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, two [-]-meter-long crocodiles crawled out of the water like lightning.

They rushed to the two ends of the bridge respectively, trying to catch the turtle in the urn.

The two people and the cat were only two meters away from the end of the overpass, and there was already a huge mouth of a fierce beast at the end like a ghost.

Sheng Yan holds the gun in both hands, turns sideways, and shoots at the same time with one hand facing forward and the other hand facing backward, "Bang! Bang!"

Yufeng's tone was quick to assist: "Stop."

During the short pause of the crocodile, Daju jumped with bent legs, jumped behind the crocodile, bit the crocodile's tail and threw it at the crocodiles that emerged one after another in the water.

The two and the cat took the opportunity to sneak into the alley and hide in the house.

Sheng Yan stood in front of the window and stared. The group of crocodiles dived into the deep water and disappeared.

It was not until twelve o'clock, and the surroundings were calm, but the feast looked dignified, "Is it the calm before the storm?"

When Yufeng opened the refrigerator, the stench came in bursts. It should be that the long-term power outage caused some meat and vegetables in the refrigerator to spoil.

Yu Feng did not change his expression, took out a bagful of eggs, and closed the refrigerator door.

Find instant noodles and sausage from somewhere else and turn on the gas.

"Are we reduced to eating instant noodles?" Sheng Yan looked at the things in Yu Feng's hand and complained bitterly.

Daju glanced at the instant noodles, his eyes showed disgust, he turned his head and got down on the ground.

Simply settle for lunch, feast and look around, "It's windy and rainy, and there are many ripples on the water surface. I don't know if it was knocked by the rain or caused by the crocodile. I checked the location with my eyes, and the opposite street is the home of a random girlfriend. Let's first Go there and have a look, and find food for Daju along the way."

The terrain in this area is relatively flat, and there was no deep water when arriving at the destination. When passing through a shallow water area, Daju was lucky enough to catch a few arm-long fish.

Yan Yan observed the shape of the fish: "Is this crucian carp? Why is it so big and mutated?"

Yu Feng pried open the fish's mouth with a dagger: "The teeth are very sharp, they are mutations."

The home of a casual girlfriend is a commercial house, and all the facilities are in one room. Taking advantage of Yufeng, I am cooking fish in the kitchen and feasting on the room.

This house has snow-white walls, and the floor is paved with white tiles. It should have been clean and tidy a long time ago, but now, the ground is covered with muddy footprints. The cakes on the table collapsed on the ground, and candles A few were chopped off, and several mobile phones were shattered on the floor.

Feast checks the phone, but it has been declared scrapped with a black screen.

He said in a volume that could be heard by Yufeng: "At the time of the incident, there were at least ten people in the house. They had knives. After entering the house, they searched each room. The owner tried to call the police, but his mobile phone was snatched and fell to the ground. He His girlfriend stood at the table and cried, but the candle was cut off and threatened. He came out to follow them casually, and no blood was found on the walls and floors, so it is impossible to speculate whether the family was killed."

Yufeng has already cooked the fish, and put these things on the table for Daju to enjoy.

He came to the bathroom with Sheng Yan and found a mobile phone in the box in the hospital.

The phone was pressed under the box by a piece of toilet paper, and there was a roll of paper on it. It would be hard to find if it wasn't for Sheng Yan to reach out and touch it.

Sheng Yan entered the password, and the light of the phone flickered, he said, "It's just a random phone, I need to check to see if there is a power bank and a cable."

Fortunately they found these two things.

Connect the power supply, turn on the phone again, open WeChat to check, and find that there is a message being entered.

Sheng Yan: "Casian was sending messages to our small group at the time, but those people had already reached the door of the bathroom, and he had to hide his phone. The group of people were in a hurry and didn't notice that the phone was left behind. Maybe they noticed it afterwards , but didn’t come back to search, it must have been blocked by something, I guess they encountered all kinds of disasters and terrorist incidents like us.”

The input line reads: They are talking, the upgrade of the earth has entered the start-up stage, the earth will face the era of great chaos, the road to the no-man's land of Daxing'anling...

The words stopped abruptly.

"So it is very likely that casually is in the no-man's land of Daxing'anling? Is it one of the bases of the God of Death?" Sheng Yan put away his mobile phone, and his eyes fell on the messy living room. The dean recalled everyone at the beginning because he received an order from his superiors to transfer before the era of chaos, why did they evacuate so urgently?"

"Because they only have a certain time period to start the upgrade of the earth, is it too late?"

"Leave a message before casually, he decided to go with those people, begging them to let the family go, and now it is revealed that those people ignore outsiders and tell the secret directly, so the family was taken away and silenced, or the enemy thinks there is chaos anyway The time has come, and there is no need to hide secrets anymore, but let them go with mercy?"

Sheng Yan was thoughtful: "There is another possibility. The enemy found the mobile phone, and they deliberately left clues, waiting for us to fall into the trap?"
