[Sword Three] End Times and Tang Dynasty

Finding a certain roof, Tang Huai landed smoothly.

The specially laid blue brick pavement has long been poked by the harder bamboo, and there is almost no place to step down. The only way to move in this area is to walk from the slightly sparser roof.

However, the original scene of this building complex is completely lost. The towering giant tree in the central square is covered by dense bamboo, and the bamboo leaves and branches stretch out, covering many smaller single rooms.For other ordinary people, it is impossible to judge their specific positions with the naked eye.

Fortunately, after arriving here, Tang Huai is no longer unfamiliar with the general environment, so he first took out the flashlight and searched up and down the four-story building.The building looks clean and tidy, except that the surrounding windows are blocked by bamboo, so the building can only rely on flashlights for lighting.

As Tang Huai expected, there were no living people, zombies, water, electricity, or other mutant creatures in this building.From the situation inside the building, it is not difficult to judge that the people here should have had enough time to evacuate. Most of the food and clothing were taken away, while some electronic products and other things were left where they were.

Returning to the roof, Tang Huai felt a little more at ease, and began to move between buildings through the roof.

As long as the houses along the way can be entered, he will search them all over the place.After comparison, he found that there were not many traces of personnel activities in the living area, but the closer to the training area and the official area, the more obvious such traces were.

What does this mean?

Tang Huai recalled every detail while searching.

First of all, the external farmhouse area that should have many tourists and various animals is completely occupied by these bamboos, which are harder than stones. There are no people, zombies, or anything other than bamboos within the territory of bamboos. Mutated species and even their dead bodies.

Second is people.Tang Huai didn't think that the Tang Sect's strength was enough to completely withdraw all Tang Sect personnel. After all, it would take too much time and financial resources to train an ordinary member of the Tang Sect who could perform "that kind of" task, so more people in the Tang Sect They are ordinary people who are no different from the outside, and there are even many old people and children!But where are they now?

Finally, in the core area that is forbidden to the outside world, why is there no clue to where these people went?

Unless...the people living here haven't gone anywhere, they are still in this place!

Thinking of this, Tang Huai's heart arose again.This is his base camp, the place where he spent the longest time from birth to growing up, and also his only home.

Even he almost died in the sudden severe cold, what would happen to the others?

At this moment, a strange smell different from the cold bamboo fragrance passed through the dense bamboo forest, and Tang Huai stopped.

Tang Huai was not unfamiliar with this smell at all, just like the smell he would smell when he opened the refrigerator and took out the meat that had been frozen for too long and had begun to rot.Not long ago, when he was hunting zombies in the ice and snow, he was enveloped by such a smell.

It has been more than two years since Tang Huai left Tangmen for the last time. On weekdays, missions can be transmitted through modern means of communication. During this year, the buildings in the core area of ​​Tangmen have undergone a small change, and the densely covered bamboo completely obscures the line of sight. As a result, Tang Huai couldn't find his way now.

However, following this smell, Tang Huai came to a familiar area after going through more than a dozen small independent buildings - the Tangmen Arsenal.

Only the door of the armory is above ground, the rest is below ground.The perimeter of the arsenal has been specially reinforced. Although there are limited cracks on the ground and some loose stone bricks, the whole has not been damaged by bamboo.

At this moment, the door of the arsenal was open, and a stronger smell of rancidity and blood came out from inside.

Tang Huai jumped off the roof of the security hut on the farthest edge and rushed in with all his strength.

"Sure enough, it's my dear junior brother. I knew you would make it there, and it's not in vain for the sect master to hold on for so long." Tang Ming raised his hand and shot, and many humanoid flesh who were pierced by bamboo and kept standing One of the blocks, just like that, had its head smashed.

Tang Huai was stunned at the door.

The figure and clothes of the half-rotten man were exactly the same as Tang Huai remembered, even though the head had been broken.

Tang Ming said with a smile: "You were not so slow before, are you being held back by our people? Go back and find them to settle accounts for you."

Tang Huai didn't listen to what he was saying, he was terribly calm, and slowly looked around the exhibition hall of the arsenal.

There are all kinds of rotting bodies around, old people, children, women, young adults...all of them have been pierced by bamboos of different sizes.Some people had their hands and feet pierced, others their waists and abdomens, but no one was hit directly to the vitals.Many people struggled so hard before they died that the green bamboo was almost dyed black and red.

More than half of those people's pierced bodies were rotten, but the head, heart, and pierced wounds were not rotten.

"Okay, since you can come here, it means that you are qualified to join us, do you need me to introduce you?"

Tang Huai still didn't pay attention to this sentence, but walked slowly among the corpses, watching as he walked.

Although the faces of many people here have undergone natural decay, Tang Huai can still recognize them.

The middle-aged man in front of a showcase on the front right is Tangmen's doctor. In the past, Tang Huai was injured during training, and he was responsible for the treatment.

The young woman not far from the doctor's body was the proprietress of a farmhouse outside, and her husband was a Tang Sect disciple in charge of business.When the proprietress is in a good mood, she will return to the Tangmen training area to show off her skills and comfort the other junior disciples who have worked hard. Tang Huai has eaten her dishes many times.

There is a little girl on the left, only 13 years old, she is the daughter of the proprietress, at a young age, she is better at cutting vegetables with one hand than Tang Huai.Tang Huai remembered passing the kitchen once, and was dragged in by the proprietress to start a small stove, and helped her chop vegetables by the way, but he was actually outcompeted by this little girl, and he walked around the kitchen for several days because of this matter.

"I ran a little bit, I'm too lazy to chase. Oh, by the way, the old lady had a leg pain a few days ago and was taken outside for treatment, so I'm not here, and I don't plan to trouble her, isn't it a bit high..."

"Tang Ming." Tang Huai interrupted his senior brother, his wandering eyes finally dropped, and at the same time, a crossbow appeared in his hand, "Among the operatives who were pointed out to hunt down your family back then, at first With me, I was later excluded from this task by the sect master. But if he didn't, I would definitely do it."

Tang Ming was still sitting in the only clean and tidy bamboo forest at the end, without raising his eyebrows: "I know this, and I don't blame you. I will deal with it even if the others didn't do anything."

"So," Tang Huai continued on his own, and loaded the arrow into the crossbow as he said, "I am the eternal blade of the Tang Sect. If you don't kill me today, I will chase you to the ends of the earth, I swear."

Tang Ming stared at him, and the corners of his lips curled into a sharp and doting arc for a long time: "Reckless."

Ten minutes later, stepping on the fresh blood that was still steaming, Tang Ming reached out and raised Tang Huai's face: "Your resilience has been greatly improved. What new ability is this?"

Tang Huai was pierced by countless hard and slender bamboo branches, three of which were inserted in his right hand alone. Even so, the crossbow in his hand was still not loose.

Tang Ming knew that it was useless to ask questions, so he glanced at his watch: "Okay, I still have things to do. I'll ask you one last time, don't you consider joining us?"

"S... city, zombies, it's...you..."

"Yes. Your aptitude is good, and you are also a supernatural person now, so you are fully qualified to be a member of us."

Tang Huai vomited another mouthful of blood, Tang Ming wiped the blood off his lips, and sighed: "Forget it, take care of your wounds, I'll wait for you to chase me." After saying that, regardless of the blood still gurgling from Tang Huai's wound, Just throwing him among a room of corpses, the sound of footsteps gradually faded away.

"The next energy fluctuation will be seven days later. At that time, I hope you will stay away from here. This side is no longer suitable for you to step in."

Before going out, Tang Ming left the last sentence. Tang Huai heard his footsteps completely disappear outside the door. The crossbow in his hand finally fell out of his hand and fell to the ground, and then he lost consciousness.

Four days later, Tang Huai woke up leisurely.

He was alone in the small room, and the dull pain in his head made him understand that it was a high fever caused by wound infection.He moved his fingers, and the pain from the bamboo piercing through his palm was already very slight.

[Xuanzi [-]]: Host, I'm sorry, you had some infection when I was fully awake, I'm in the process of clearing and healing, please wait another day.

Tang Huai didn't have the strength to stand up yet. This situation was very similar to the time when he was infected by the zombie virus and was shot to the brink of death.Xuanzi Lingba needs to consume a lot of energy to clear the virus in his body and repair his damaged body, which makes him very hungry and thirsty now.

Since he couldn't do other things, and couldn't hear people walking around, Tang Huai could only close his eyes and rest his mind again.His endurance has always been very good, and he can bear it for another day.

In the darkness and silence, the passage of time became blurred, and Tang Huai's consciousness drifted away from his body again.

The warm medicinal juice was fed into the mouth, and Tang Huai regained consciousness.The concoction was not bitter, it moistened Tang Huai's thirsty throat, and he instinctively chased for more concoction.

An unfamiliar male voice was a little magnetic because it was deliberately lowered. The other party fed the last drop of medicine in a hurry before letting go of Tang Huai's lips: "Tsk... I didn't see that you are so hungry..."

Before Tang Huai was fully awake, his brain automatically blocked the words, but the other party didn't delay, and quickly took another big mouthful of the medicine juice, and fed him mouth to mouth again.

After feeding the medicine, the other party didn't speak, and a brisk little tune sounded. Tang Huai only felt that the last bit of pain in his whole body dissipated along with the little tune, and his brain finally started to function.
