[Sword Three] End Times and Tang Dynasty

Buildings were looming in the thick fog, and strange roars came from the direction of the hospital from time to time, adding to the terrifying atmosphere.

The sunshine in early July was unexpectedly without a trace of heat, and the hazy circular outline on the horizon was more like a clumsy decoration.

The temperature is dropping little by little, and Tang Huai feels very keenly. According to this cooling rate, in less than two hours, the outdoor temperature in City S will drop below zero. He needs a batch of warming supplies.

It has been more than three days since the disaster broke out. Due to the intervention of the government and the army, a large number of civilians should have left City S. The rest of the people have either become zombies, or they can only wait to become food for zombies, or they are like Tang Like Huai, he has enough strength not to be afraid of zombies.

Tang Huai held a short knife in his hand. He didn't want to take a gun, as it would cause unnecessary trouble.His pace is regular and his goal is clear - the largest sporting goods store in S City southwest of the hospital.

Judging from what Tang Ming revealed, when this disaster strikes, some people will benefit, and Tang Huai himself is one of them.The strength of those people may increase day by day, and the threat will also increase accordingly. Tang Huai is not interested in competing with others outside of missions. He still has missions to complete.

It was not a problem for Tang Huai to avoid slow-moving zombies in the dense fog.His feet are fast, and the sporting goods store is only 10 minutes away.

Tang Huai, a sporting goods store, has been here several times. When the zombie virus broke out, the store was still open, and it was close to the hospital. It was one of the hardest hit areas.

Dozens of mutilated zombies wandered around the store, and a bloody corpse was hung on the viewing tree. When Tang Huai approached the store door, he found that he didn't need to go in through the door, because the glass on the first floor of the store was almost completely broken up.

There were piles of sundries near the door, which were probably used by the people in the store to ward off zombies at that time.Tang Huai walked around the perimeter for half a circle, and then went in through a window where no zombies appeared.

The fog inside the store is very light, and the view is not bad.Tang Huai leaned on the side of the shelf and listened carefully for a while, and judged that there were at least two dozen zombies nearby.

Tang Huai didn't like wasting energy if it wasn't necessary.He first fetched an outdoor hiking bag, walked among the shelves all the way, and threw in what he needed when he saw it.Because his movements were too flexible, these dozens of zombies didn't even capture his figure completely.

After looting a batch of supplies, Tang Huai headed to the clothing area on the second floor, and on the way eliminated two salesperson zombies blocking the way.

Compared with the first floor, the situation on the second floor is even more tragic. This should be the second line of defense against zombies, but unfortunately it also collapsed.

Turning over layers of carts and overturned shelves, Tang Huai stood on the top of the messy artificial barrier and scanned around. There were four and a half people lying horizontally under the shelves, and the remaining half was probably in the stomachs of other wandering zombies. .

Due to the power outage, the entire second floor looked very dark, but this was not a problem for Tang Huai, as his eyesight was excellent.Because of this, he saw a small figure sitting on the ceiling ventilation duct in the distance.

There should be no living people on the second floor, except for the quiet child on the ventilation duct.The other party had already spotted Tang Huai, but he didn't cry or make a fuss, just sat on the ventilation duct and looked at him.

[Xuan Zi Zero Eight]: Please help this child.

Tang Huai had this in mind and installed the crossbow and crossbow bolts he had found from the first floor.

He did not forget that the system that saved his life required him to take in three apprentices and take them out of the division.Although he didn't understand what the system required to bring out a teacher, Tang Huai himself had been taught many skills by the master of the Tang Sect, so he knew what the standard for a good seedling was.

Even if you were an adult, you would quickly collapse in such a horrible and harsh environment, and then engage in irrational self-mutilation or even suicide. However, this child who may only be six or seven years old not only used his weight advantage to occupy the zombie The impossible-to-approach ventilation duct has survived for more than three days!

Not only that, when he saw someone coming, he didn't cry, let alone shout for help. Based on this alone, Tang Huai was willing to help him.

By the way, he can also try the "Tang Sect" skill that Xuanzi Lingba mentioned.

With the Frightening Feather Jue, the Stone Splitting Crossbow!

The faintly blue crossbow shot out of the air, hitting the head of a zombie that kept growling, and that head exploded like a watermelon falling from a ten-story building!Immediately afterwards, the crossbow bolts split and scattered, and the scattered shards also pierced into the heads of several nearby zombies, and the violent impact directly broke their skulls!

The power is not bad.

With one blow, a small number of zombies gathered at the child's feet were eliminated, and it also attracted the attention of the surrounding zombies, who all turned around and moved this way.

Tang Huai took out the second crossbow bolt and loaded it into the crossbow, and raised the crossbow machine again.

A minute later, Tang Huai stood between a puddle of flesh and blood, raised his head and said, "Come down."

The child on top of his head pursed his lips, blinked his eyes, and did not move.

Tang Huai didn't say it a second time, holding the crossbow in his right hand, and his left hand hanging by his side.

The child took a breath, scanned the layers of corpses below, moved to the point where the flesh was thickest, put his hands together, and fell from a height of three meters.

Neither the pain nor the nauseating sensation he had imagined came to pass, and he fell into a strong arms.

Tang Huai could feel the little guy in his arms trembling and his heart beating too fast. This scene was surprisingly similar to a scene in his memory.The little guy hugged his neck tightly, and the whole person wanted to shrink into his arms, obviously terrified.

...is still a child after all.

He patted the little guy's back hesitantly, Tang Huai said, "Let go, I'll take you away, be quiet on the road."

The little guy immediately let go, Tang Huai left the pile of dead people, walked to a ventilated window, pulled the mountaineering bag away, and put the little guy in with one hand.

There are already some things in the mountaineering bag, and the little guy stepped on them, just enough to lie on Tang Huai's shoulders.But he didn't do that. Instead, he held tightly to the shoulder strap of the mountaineering bag and kept his mouth tightly shut, showing that he would never hinder Tang Huai.

Tang Huai was even more satisfied. He picked up the mountaineering bag and turned around to search for clothes in the clothing area.

The little guy was very quiet during the process. Even when he saw Tang Huai wrapping up a lot of clothes and then suddenly disappearing them, he didn't say a word.

There was nothing Tang Huai needed on the third and fourth floors of the sporting goods store, so he went straight to the fifth floor, where there were several restaurants.Even after three days, some food should still be edible.

Gathering all the edible food, Tang Huai left the sporting goods store.

The temperature dropped another two or three degrees, but the fog became thicker, and the visibility was less than ten meters.Relying on eyesight at this moment would hinder Tang Huai's footsteps, so he could only rely on hearing instead.It didn't matter, he had done relevant training a long time ago, and he didn't expect to be able to use the skills he learned in his early training today.

The current basic survival supplies have been successfully obtained, Tang Huai does not want to stay outdoors, and his new target is an ordinary residential area next to the small river in the south.

Most of the residential areas in City S have installed natural gas pipelines, and many residents choose to use induction cookers to cook food, but neither of these two things can be used now, and Tang Huai has no interest in them.

What he needs is an open fire. Even if he doesn't know how to cook, it's good to be able to use an old-style filling gas stove to boil water. Boiled water can also make instant noodles, which can provide a lot of heat that the human body needs.

At present, only people in ordinary residential areas still use bottled gas, so Tang Huai simply trotted all the way to the destination.

Because he has to carry the little guy behind him, his load has exceeded 50 jins, but his speed is only fast compared to the previous one.

There is a river in the south of City S. People used to live along the river. Later, the government changed the sides of the river into viewing corridors, and many residential areas were built beside the river.Tang Huai climbed into the mossy community partition wall, glanced at the rusty window rails of the residents in front of him, and immediately decided to choose this place.

As soon as Tang Huai stepped into the corridor, he heard a rush of footsteps coming from above.The footsteps obviously couldn't come from zombies, it was very light and the frequency was very fast, it was like the steps of children running and jumping.

... a child again?Tang Huai simply stopped, and after a while, the sound of footsteps stopped above his head, and two small heads protruded from the stairwell, one of which was bald.

Tang Huai didn't speak, nor did he go upstairs immediately.

"Big brother," the child with hair spoke first, and the crisp childish voice was like a stream in the mountains, "Are you also here to hide from monsters?"

After waiting for a while and seeing that Tang Huai didn't respond, the child called out again: "Big Brother?"

Tang Huai ignored it, and already shifted his gaze to the iron gate next to him, wondering how to open it.

Seeing this, the naked child immediately shouted, "Please wait a moment, benefactor!"

Tang Huai was taken aback by the strange address, and turned his gaze away again.

"Benefactor, it's very cold outside. We have something to eat, and we have prepared quilts to keep out the cold. Would you like to stay and take shelter from the wind?" Seeing that Tang Huai didn't answer right away, he continued, "We have hot water and warm clothes. Instant noodles."

[Xuan Zi Zero Eight]: Please help these two children.

Tang Huai thought for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Okay."

So he followed the two children to an ordinary house on the third floor.

The room is very clean, the windows have been closed tightly, and the curtains have been drawn. The living room connected to the kitchen and bathroom is full of quilts and clothes, and there are two bowls of instant noodles on the small coffee table in the middle, which is already a bit cold.

Tang Huai knew as soon as he entered the house that the wall he climbed in was next to this house. He didn't deliberately hide the movement. The two children probably just set their sights on him.
