I take skeletons to the apocalypse

Xia Xi heard a huge roar in his heart, as if a high snow mountain suddenly collapsed at this moment, and the world was turned upside down, so a heavy snow fell in the center of his heart.

It was a liking he had accumulated for a long time and desperately suppressed.

The surprise when we first met, the joy when we saw each other, the willingness to follow and accompany us, even the grievance and resentment when we misunderstood, but we still couldn't help being soft-hearted, and couldn't help being entangled again and again.

It turned out that from the very beginning, more than one person fell.

It's just that Xia Xi woke up too late, making this love affair three and a half years late.

Fortunately, everything is still in time.

On the island, the wind on a winter night was icy cold, but Xia Xi felt her cheeks burn.He gripped the cold railing tightly in his palm, but he couldn't calm down at all.

He seemed clumsy even to resist the kindness of ordinary people, and he was even more at a loss when facing Jing Lan's confession.

Xia Xi didn't speak, but wrapped his arms around his narrow and strong waist, buried his face in the crescent of his neck, and sniffed the clean breath on his body.

Jing Lan's chin was swept over by the windproof fluff on Xia Xi's hood, and she felt as if a fluffy cat was being coquettish in her arms.

His heart softened as if it was about to melt.Although Xia Xi didn't say anything, he felt as if he had gotten the answer he wanted.

After a long time, he heard Xia Xi say: "In my hometown, if a person likes another person, he will plant a thorn flower for him. The thorn flower matures in summer. On the day the flower blooms, the person who loves it She will weave thorns into a garland, and if the other party accepts it, she will bite her finger, smear the blood on the thorn flower, and then put the garland on her head, and the thorn flower will shed its thorns, and the flower will bloom."

"Like this." Xia Xi bit her finger, and used her blood to draw a flower on Jinglan's heart.The shape of the flower is somewhat similar to that of a rose, but the petals are much more complicated.

Fortunately, Xia Xi had the foundation to learn to draw the magic circle before, otherwise she might not be able to draw it in one go.

For a period of time at the end of winter, it was a rare comfort. After the warm spring, everything revived, and various mutant creatures that had formed groups began to multiply and develop in large numbers.The clover crisis has been eliminated, and more humans survived this spring than expected.

Each refuge has formed a relatively stable and mature defense and survival system.The tragedies of large-scale downsizing and even group destruction basically never happened again.

After a period of practice, the Zhuguang people have also improved their strength considerably. Xia Xi and Jing Lan have successfully upgraded their abilities to level five.The members of the first echelon of Chasing Light, such as Chao Mo, have also possessed strength above level four.Some of the remaining members have basically reached the third-level ability.

The island has plenty of supplies, no worries about food and lodging, and there is not much pressure to survive except to guard against the attacks of some mutant creatures from the sea and the sky.

Laboratory research on artificial humans has also made progress.Relying on the artificial human samples given by Xia Xi, Jing Yue produced many robots, which were responsible for daily security patrols on the island, and even cooking, cleaning, transporting, and building.

They have the same executive center as artificial humans, and rely on supernatural spars as energy sources, but they can only be called robots, because they do not use the human body as a template, nor do they have such precise components as the brain, so they lack some The ability to act autonomously can only rigidly execute fixed instructions.Compared with the robots before the doomsday, the calculations that can be completed are a little more complicated.It is completely incomparable with the artificial humans in the doctor's hands who can complete instructions independently and grow through cultivation.

But Chao Mo thinks this is very good.Machines can replace a lot of labor and alleviate the problem of labor shortage on the island.

The scales and teeth of the fifth-level sea sharks are made into armor and weapons in large quantities. Except for some of them that are kept for use, the rest are sold to some shelters and organizations that are close to Chasing Light.

As for the spar, it was embedded in the ship as a new energy stone.Because the sea shark has the ability to control sea water, the ship inlaid with energy stones also has the ability to control the water flow. Not only the speed has been increased by more than three times, but it can also avoid the wind and waves caused by extreme weather at sea when necessary.

The research on sea slug skin has also been further developed. When they change their appearance, they don't need to put on a whole skin. They can also choose to take medicine extracted from sea slugs to complete short-term small-scale appearance adjustments.

This potion is very convenient to use, Xia Xi took some away, and since then, there has been one less Mr. Black Crow wearing a mask in the base, and one more handsome young man with black hair and black eyes.

Everyone knew that this black-haired young man had a face made by a black crow, but only a few people knew that Jing Lan once had a lover named Xia Xi, who looked somewhat similar to this face.

Jing Yue's guess about the substitute seems to have been further confirmed, but Jing Yue is so devoted to the research on artificial humans that he seldom even leaves the door of the laboratory.I never cared about the relationship between the two of them.

The strange thing is that after the chaos on New Year's Day, the Jingting City Research Institute seemed to have died down, except for the development of new medicines, and did nothing more.

The peaceful days passed by like running water, and in a blink of an eye, the sky became warmer.

The time came to mid-April. On this day, Xia Xi followed the boat that went out to purchase as usual. His purpose of going to sea was different from others. Others were to buy things, or had tasks, while Xia Xi was to replenish the skeletons at hand. .

Xia Xi, who has a level five ability, can control as many as five hundred skeletons.And there are only 71 artificial humans in his hand including the ones he snatched from the doctor.

Xia Xi's method of collecting skeletons is simple and rude. He uses the name of chasing light to pick up work outside. Wherever there are mutated creatures that are difficult to deal with, he can ask him for help.But he doesn't accept the living people's appeals for help, only accepts the wishes of the dying. Whoever is willing to pledge allegiance to him with bones after death, he can fulfill the last wish of the other party.

This is also due to the new ability Xia Xi gained after level five, he no longer needs to establish contracts with others face to face.As the only necromancer in the entire continent, no matter in any corner of the world, as long as the undead want to make a wish, he can sense it.As long as he fulfills the other party's last wish, he can collect the other party's undead.

This time he left the island because he received a last wish.There were 27 people who made a wish this time. Although the specific situation is not known yet, it can be seen that the other party has encountered a lot of trouble.

The last wish cannot convey too detailed information, but can only tell Xia Xi the approximate location, and more detailed content Xia Xi can only know when the bones are contained.

The place where the accident happened was near Lanshu, so Xia Xi didn't dare to delay at all. After all, there were his friends there, and he didn't want any danger to Lanshu.

"Pay attention to safety. The research institute has been too quiet during this time, which makes people feel uneasy. The area around Lanshu has been quite peaceful. Suddenly there are so many people asking for help. I am worried that the doctor's side has taken action." Jing Lan Stuffed a box of baked cakes into Xia Xi's arms.

He originally wanted to accompany Xia Xi on this trip, but a few days ago, people suddenly disappeared on the island. After a day and a night, neither the missing person nor any suspicious clues were found.Chaomo was worried and asked him to stay and help with the investigation.

"You too." Xia Xi put the snacks in the trunk of the motorcycle, and pushed the motorcycle onto the boat: "I always feel a little weird about the disappearance. Maybe it's the doctor's trick. I'll come back as soon as possible. You should pay more attention to it." .”

After a simple farewell, the ship set off. This was not a very long journey. After replacing the sea shark's power spar as the power source, the transport ship could arrive at the pier in seven hours.

The boat departs in the morning, and if all goes well, it will return at noon the next day and return to the island by dinner.Even with a slight delay, the third day will arrive.

Gu Ming was already the appointed captain, and he was in charge of managing the crew as usual. After inspecting the hull, he gave the order to sail.

On the way, Gu Ming had nothing else to do, so he went to Xia Xi: "Mr. Black Crow, let me accompany you to the villa this time? Although I may not be able to help you in a fight, running errands is still okay."

Xia Xi said gently: "No, if you really encounter any danger, bring one more of you, but it will increase the danger, and I will be easily distracted."

Gu Ming was disgusted, and lay down on the fence listlessly: "Oh."

Xia Xi smiled helplessly: "But there is something I want to ask for your help."

Gu Ming hesitated instantly: "Just say it!"

"I want a road map for delivering medicine to Lanshu City."

There is a special route for the delivery of the stock solution of the clover mother plant, which is hidden and much closer than the normal road.The original solution is delivered once a month, and it was delivered last week in April.Gu Ming's mission this time is only to exchange materials, and he doesn't need to come to Lanshu.

So Xia Xi specially brought his modified motorcycle this time. The speed on the road can reach [-] kilometers per hour, and the built-in flying device can fly straight over some steep mountain roads and rocks.According to the previous route of transporting clover prairie liquid, it took only ten hours to arrive near Lanshu.

He walked towards the place where he called for help according to the direction he sensed.This location is not far from the defense line of Lanshu City, in a deserted village by the river.

Approaching the village, Xia Xi noticed something unusual.It's not in the defense zone, but it feels unusually quiet.The motorcycle is equipped with an instrument to detect the fluctuation of the supernatural power, but there is no response at the moment.

Even though more than [-] people were killed here, less than two days later, there is not even a mutated plant or a mutated insect in the huge village. This is obviously unreasonable.

Xia Xi stopped and sent a few skeletons into the village to investigate.

Over this period of time, Xia Xi has collected a hundred skeletons. Even without the fifty artificial humans, the skeletons in his hand are enough to string a string of one hundred and eight bone beads, and he is still a little rich.

When the skeleton entered the village, Xia Xi also gained corresponding perception and vision.Several skeletons searched separately. The house has been abandoned for a long time, and it has been covered with cobwebs. It is full of dust. It is obvious that no one has lived in it for a long time. There are several corpses floating in the pond at the end of the road. The flesh has rotted, and the yellowed bones are exposed. Obviously also died for a long time, not the person who called for help this time.

But the road has some traces of being cleaned up, and it looks very new, just recently.

A dry well at the head of the village has blood stains in the stone crevices at the opening, as if someone left a reminder on purpose.

The skeleton searched for a while, and finally found traces of new bones beside the haystack not far from the dry well.There are a total of 27, no more, no less, exactly matching the number of people asking for help.It's just that these people don't look like supernatural beings. They don't even have the most basic weapons and equipment on them. They only wear work clothes that are easy to move. They look more like factory workers.

The bones were found, but in order to hear the more specific wishes of the deceased, Xia Xi had to face the bones.It's not enough to rely on long-distance contact with skeletons.

But it looked too much like a trap to invite the king into the urn, Xia Xi didn't want to enter rashly, he chose to let the skeleton move the bones out.

In order to save time, Xia Xi awakened 27 remaining consciousnesses at once.

[Tell me, what happened, what is your last wish? 】

The consciousness has collapsed a bit, but I still remember my last obsession.Hearing Xia Xi's question, they all spoke.

【They killed me, you have to avenge me. 】

[My family is still in their hands, but we must protect them. 】

[To protect the factory, there must be no accidents in the factory. 】

[Save people, send the living back to Lanshu City. 】

……

The clues were a bit messy, Xia Xi asked them one by one.

【who are you? 】

[Factory workers. 】

[Which factory. 】

[Pharmaceutical factory, a pharmacy that makes antidotes in the west of the city. 】

[Do you know who killed you. 】

[I don't know, they wear helmets and can't see their faces. 】

Is the murderer human?Xia Xi was slightly taken aback.What killed 27's workers in one go was man-made, not a mutant biological attack.

Xia Xi wondered, could it be that the doctor discovered the location of the factory and sent someone to destroy it?

[Where is the murderer hiding? 】

[I don’t know, after they killed us and left us, they left with the rest of us. 】

[How many people are there. 】

[Many, at least a hundred. 】

[How many hostages are there? 】

[More than 100. 】

[All workers? 】

[No, there are people from the hunting team. 】

【last question.How do you know the way to offer sacrifices to Me? 】

The remaining consciousnesses were dangling, chattering and unable to put together a clue.

At this time, one of the clearer consciousness rushed forward: 【It's Zhang Yunhan.She is the vice team of the hunting team, and she said that she can provide a way to lure you over, in exchange for the other party to let us go.But the masked ones didn’t make promises, and still killed us. Before they killed them, they kept repeating in our ears that if they had any last wishes, they would sacrifice their own bones, and someone would come to fulfill our last wishes.Then you come. 】

Yunhan?

Xia Xi's face changed, she was also arrested?
