Doomsday Allure

Chapter 16 The Crown Commercial Building

Wei Buzheng didn't stay in the hotel, nor did he enter the Qingyu Space.

An hour ago, at a place about [-] kilometers away from Yajin City, he began to feel Wu Chong's breath, which was not strong, but it gave him a different feeling from the previous few days, and it also brought him A strange feeling that the rain is about to come, as if this wave is only the vanguard, and the main force is still behind.

Before Da Neng left, he explained Qingling and Wuchong. In the middle, he said that Qingling and Wuchong (spiritual energy and magic energy) are actually general names for two kinds of energy with different attributes, just like the green vegetables that people usually say and meat, which respectively contain many kinds of vegetables and animal foods with different specific attributes.

There are also many kinds of spirits, the most common ones are gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder and lightning, and there are also a small number of mutated spirits. Every world is different, and even the great power cannot describe them.

The same is true for Wu Chong, which leads to zombie-like, beast-like, petrified, non-specific forms..., etc., and so on, etc., to seize the internal attribute energy of the item, and make the item lose its function or external form , is the most common attribute of Wuchong.

However, Qingling and Wuchong are like the positive and negative sides of a piece of paper or the relationship between day and night. They are two sides of a thing that must be interdependent and exist. There is no world where only Qingling or Wuchong exists. rush.

The relationship between Qingling and Wuchong can sometimes be understood as carnivores and herbivores. If there are no wolves or any other carnivores in a forest for a long time, then the deer herd will not be far from extinction.

But in a normal world, the number of Wuchong is always far smaller than that of Qingling. Once there are more Wuchong than Qingling, what awaits is the destruction of this world.

From this point of view, Wu Chong is more like a villain, but if he can overcome Wu Chong's early domineering behavior and maintain a clear heart, Wu Chong and the master of Qingling will reach the same goal by different routes.

In addition to Qingling and Wuchong with many different attributes, there is also a kind of energy, which is called Chaos Yuanli by immortals and comprehension circles.

No one can tell exactly what the chaotic power is, but the yearning for the chaotic power is so strong that everyone in the cultivation world and the immortal world cannot add it up.

Chaos energy only exists in the initial state of chaos during the opening of a new world, but not all new worlds have chaos energy at the beginning of the opening, it appears without any rules, and it appears for a very short time, it is really a little longitudinal Fleeting, if it is not captured and refined in time, it will soon disappear into the invisible and return to the endless universe.

Da Neng said that the top gods and gods who have the opportunity to obtain the chaotic power have different feelings about the chaotic power, and the abilities obtained after refining it are also different, so he has no way to tell Wei Buzheng that the chaotic power What kind of strength is, if Wei Buzheng is lucky enough to meet him, he doesn't need anyone to teach him, he will know it himself.

This is also one of the reasons why Wei Buzheng can stay in the real world as much as possible. The chaotic energy is too rare and precious, and the time it appears is too short. Maybe Wei Buzheng entered the sapphire space to drink saliva, it has appeared and disappeared, and is gone forever.

Now, Wei Buzheng has a different feeling from the past, regardless of whether he has the power of chaos, it is beneficial for him to stay outside to practice.

The city of Yajin without electricity was pitch black. Wei Buzheng walked about 500 meters and saw a small garden for residents to relax on the side of the road, so he walked in.

The small garden is exquisitely maintained. There are five or six camphor trees with tall trunks and dense crowns. Below are lawns, stone paths and landscape stones, and there are several benches beside the path.

Wei Buzheng sat on the innermost bench and began to breath and listen.

He meditated until dawn, and only opened his eyes when he heard the sound of running in the morning.

The Wu Chong here is extraordinarily willful and domineering. Wei Buzheng can feel its strong impact on the tendons and meridians, but he doesn't feel the power of chaos.

After sitting on the bench for a few minutes, Wei Buzheng picked up his bag and ran to the road, walking side by side with an old man jogging, and asked him where the largest shopping mall in Yajin was.

The old man said that there are two largest and most high-end shopping malls in Yajin, the old Yajin Commercial Building and the upstart Crown Shopping Mall. Yajin Railway Station is relatively close.

Surrounded by mountains, Yajin is a city that emerged because of the mining industry. The history of the city is not long, only 40 years, and the scale is not large. It is the only area in Uza Province where the per capita income of residents can be compared with the metropolises in the developed eastern regions.

Wei Buzheng has been in Shengya Company for four years and has been to Yajin three times, but he always came from Wuda direction, at the railway station or the expressway to the industrial park, and he had never been to Yajin City, because Yajin City is in the Huaxia Kingdom ranks in the top three most inhospitable cities for human habitation. One hundred and ten kilometers away from Yajin, the sky starts to become gray and the air smells of soot. Wei Buzheng always pays Goods, just leave when you get the money, and don't want to stop for more than a minute.

Saying goodbye to the old man, Wei Buzheng ran faster, he wanted to find a place to have breakfast.

Suddenly there was a little coolness on his forehead, Wei Buzheng raised his head, and the thin raindrops fell on his face.

I*, why didn't I think of buying a raincoat?Wei Buzheng thought to himself, turning his head to look for a place to shelter from the rain.

A car horn sounded behind him, and he made way to the side of the road.

The horn is still ringing.

Wei Buzheng turned his head, a red taxi followed behind him on the left, the driver leaned over and looked at him from the passenger window: "Boys, do you want to take a taxi?"

"Sit." Wei Buzheng was ecstatic, his eyes were full of scrapped cars these days, and he almost forgot about taxis.

"Where are you going?" Wei Buzheng closed the door, and the driver asked.

"Go to the place with Huaxia Bank first, and then go to the Crown Mall."

"Then go directly to the Crown Mall. The lobby of their mall is full of banking outlets." The enthusiastic driver pushed on the meter and quickly got on the fast lane.

After getting in the car, Wei Buzheng looked out through the window, only to find that most of the cars parked on the side of the road looked normal.

He asked the young driver: "Didn't your cars turn off inexplicably these days and then couldn't move anymore?"

The driver said: "Yes, there are a lot of them. The stalled cars are all cheap cars. We don't have many other things in Yajin. There are many rich people and many famous cars. The broken cars with less than [-] cars can't be seen at all. More than half of the cars in our company It won't work for a few days, I just bought my car in July, so it's fine."

This is indisputable. Yajin’s shopping group for rich men and wives is as famous as its harsh ecological environment. He asked again: “Aren’t there any zombies here?”

The driver said, "You're talking about ghost disease, right? People suddenly look like ghosts, their face and body are blue, and their eyes are almost white."

Wei Buzheng nodded: "Yes, I came from Jiman's side and met two. I heard there are many over there."

The driver said: "We don't have many here. I heard that there are more than a dozen in Yajin Municipal Hospital. Experts say it is pneumonia syndrome. Our family hospital also posted knowledge to promote the prevention of infectious diseases, such as wearing masks and opening windows for ventilation. Yes, it’s similar to other infectious diseases before.”

Wei Buzheng smiled and didn't say anything. He had a little expectation in his heart, hoping that this kind of disease would be less and less in the east, and maybe in the east, the power had been restored, and the cars and trains were fine. I used to go home by car.

Yajin City looked gray from a distance, with no atmosphere at all, but the roads were well repaired. Except for the traffic lights, there was no traffic jam at all. Half an hour later, Wei Buzheng arrived at the Crown Mall in the new urban area.

While collecting the money, the driver said, "The Huaxia Bank is the first one on the left when you enter the door."

Wei Buzheng took the change and got off the car: "Thank you."

There is a small square in front of the shopping mall. Wei Buzheng ran fast to avoid getting caught in the rain. When he arrived at the promenade in front of the shopping mall, he found that the taxi driver was also covering his head with his arms and running towards this side.

Wei Buzheng waited for him to come, and said, "I gave you the money."

The taxi driver smiled and pointed to the cart selling egg-filled biscuits: "I'll buy this."

Because of the rain, the breakfast carts that were originally on the square came to the corridors of the shopping mall.

Wei Buzheng smiled and said, "I'm planning to buy it too."

Maybe because of the rain, not many people came to eat breakfast. The taxi driver bought an egg-filled biscuit and a cup of soy milk and left first. Wei Buzheng reported both in front of the taxi driver. After he left, he immediately told the boss : "You can work hard, I want as many as I can make before the mall opens."

The boss looked up at him in disbelief.

Wei Buzheng took out 100 yuan: "Deposit. Uncle, what time does the mall open?"

The proprietress squinted at him with the trick we've seen a lot.

The boss held up the money to check the authenticity: "At eight o'clock, there is no electricity now, the door opens early in the morning and closes early in the afternoon, um, really."

Wei Buzheng flashed into the space to check the time. At 21:[-], he went to the nearby pancake and fried dough stick stand to order, and bought [-] tea eggs.

At eight o'clock, the mall opens on time.

Wei Buzheng brought two big bags of egg-filled biscuits, two big bags of finger biscuits and a big bag of fried dough sticks, and walked to the side of the mall. He found the passage leading to the underground parking lot. Because there is no electricity, the underground parking lot cannot be used, so there is no There were people guarding him, so he walked in, but there was no one inside. He quickly put his things into the space, and then turned back to the main entrance of the mall.

Walking into the gate of the shopping mall, Huaxia Bank's business hall is in the most conspicuous position, and there is no line at the business window. Wei Buzheng handed in the deposit slip and ID card: "Take them all out."

The salesperson took the deposit slip: "One hundred thousand, take it all?"

Wei Buzheng said, "Yes, it's urgent."

Five minutes later, Wei Buzheng came to the fifth floor of the mall, the sports and outdoor sports store, with his bag on his back.

He bought twenty pairs of shoes, and then he wore them inside and out. He bought several sets of quick-drying material cold-proof clothes, and he also bought two identical thickened sleeping bags. Can't get rid of it, the weather is getting colder, he can't freeze it, can he?

I didn't forget the raincoat, just three pieces.

Every time he finished buying things from one family, he went to the bathroom, and after he came out, he changed to another house farther away to continue buying.

He usually wears plain colors. Today, he listened to the seller’s advice and tried to dress brightly when traveling outdoors. He bought several red and green ones. The scarves and hats are not the same black and deep sea blue as before. , bought a few red or other bright colors.

It took four to ten minutes before and after to buy everything I thought of.

The fourth floor is bedding and high-end men's clothing. Wei Buzheng found his favorite bedding brand. He bought a total of ten goose down quilts, silk quilts and wool quilts, and five sets of bedding sets. gave him two thread blankets, two blankets, a pair of pillow inserts, and a pair of cushions.

There were too many things, so the shop owner asked someone to help Wei Buzheng deliver them to the underground parking lot. Wei Buzheng said that his friend's car was parked here and he would come and drive it later.

The shop owner sold more than 3 yuan of items at once, only caring about being happy, so he didn't think that Wei Buwei's statement was reasonable, just follow the requirements of the VIP members.

The supermarket is on the first floor, Wei Buzheng put the bedding into the space and went up.

He had no chance to look for crop seeds before. When he saw the wheat kernels and various beans in the supermarket, he asked the waiter to weigh them all for him.

The waiter said: "How much do you want? No, I'll go to the warehouse and get it for you. Customers will come up immediately. After you buy it all at once, what about other customers? Besides, it's quite troublesome to get it out little by little."

Wei Buzheng said: "Success, but you have to hurry up, if the warehouse is far away, I don't want it."

Yajin's Wu Chong is very special, he still wants to find a place to continue practicing after shopping.

The waiter said: "It's in the underground garage, and there are a row of rooms on the side below, all of which are warehouses."

Wei Buzheng was overjoyed: "Go, go now."

The waiter took a flashlight from the cabinet below and wanted to get a plastic bag, but was stopped by Wei Buzheng: "I want the whole bag."

In the dark underground parking lot, the waiter and Wei Buzheng struggled to drag the sack out.

Two sacks each of wheat kernels, barley, mung beans, soybeans, peas, red beans, and black beans. Wei Buzheng also ordered ten bags of various rice and one sack of peanuts.

Except for peanuts, all the other kinds are packed in standard [-]-jin packages, so they don't need to be weighed next to each other, and Qingyu Space doesn't reject sacks, so Wei Buzheng doesn't need to unpack them next to each other.

After paying at the entrance of the parking lot, the waiter said: "Your friend will come over in a while, tell me, and I will find someone to move it to the car for you."

Wei Buzheng said, "Thank you."

As soon as the waiter left, he ran back and collected the things.

Inspired by buying bedding and food, after returning to the supermarket, he asked the seller of table paper and toilet paper to also send the whole package of goods to the underground parking lot for him to collect.

Finally, he began to sweep up all kinds of convenience foods and vegetables.

The waiters at the food counter are hired, not the boss. After ordering the items and sending them to the parking lot, they have to go back to the mall to check out.

Just as Wei Buzheng handed over 2 yuan to the cashier, and was about to continue shopping for candies, there was a sudden rush of water in his lower abdomen, followed by a familiar aura that surrounded him: it was Wu Chong.

This time, Wu Chong came more fiercely than ever before, Wei Buzheng's muscles and veins swelled with pain, and his blood surged, he almost cried out.

Taking a deep breath calmly, Wei Buzheng turned around and walked towards the candy with steady steps.

He doesn't like to eat chocolate. He buys chocolate because he knows that this kind of food is high in calories. When food is scarce in the last days, a small piece can fill a big bowl of rice.

The big supermarket has a lot of choices. In addition to ten boxes of chocolates, he also chose a few boxes of toffee. When he was choosing fruit candies, a shrill cry sounded from behind, accompanied by the sound of the shelf collapsing.

Wei Buzheng turned around and saw a group of people screaming and running towards the cashier: "Eating people, biting people, zombies eating people—"

Wei Buzheng put down the scattered fruit candies in his hand, and said to the waiter, "Just those just now, how much?"

The waiter was looking at the cashier, and looked away when he heard his voice: "I, I, let me do the math for you, ten boxes of chocolates are... ah, oh my god, they are really zombies..."

The waiter threw away the calculator and fountain pen in his hand, covered his head and yelled.

Wei Buzheng turned his head.

Three men and one woman, with gray and slack faces, cloudy white eyes, and two extremely long gray-white teeth protruding about an inch from the mouth, and one of them was covered in blood on the mouth and chin.

Several people were chasing after a group of screaming and running people. Two people were covered in blood and appeared to have been bitten or scratched.

The waiter in the candy area finished calling, turned around and ran away.

Wei Buzheng called to her back: "Run to the parking lot, there are too many people at the gate."

But the waiter couldn't hear him, and rushed into the crowd running towards the mall's gate.

This time is the morning rush hour of the supermarket, there are so many people, customers and supermarket service staff are all running outside, everyone has lost their composure, Wei Buzheng knows that he can't help much in this kind of situation.

He turned around and ran towards the entrance of the underground parking lot. He ran to the entrance of the elevator that was out of service, and saw a female zombie with curly yellow hair biting a man's shoulder.

The man yelled and beat her on the head, but the woman didn't seem to notice it. Not far from the two of them, four or five men and women were standing there with blue and black faces, sunken cheeks and narrowed black pupils.

Wei Buzheng ran a few steps over and kicked the biting woman on the shoulder. The woman and the man fell to the ground at the same time, but the woman still did not let go.

Wei Buzheng was about to find something to throw at him, when he heard louder screams behind him. He turned his head to look over, and found that the faces of the young people standing at the entrance of the supermarket who were in charge of checking tickets seemed to have been frightened just now. Turn into black and thin.

Wei Buzheng saw zombies for the first time. He didn't know whether the living people turned into zombies because of Wu Chong, or because of some special virus, so he didn't know whether his innate chaotic spirit body could resist the zombie virus.

He didn't dare to stop, turned around and rushed down the safety stairs leading to the underground parking lot.

A few people who were not too frightened to lose their thinking also rushed down after him.

The light rain was still falling, and Wei Buzheng discovered that Yajin, who seemed peaceful and peaceful three hours ago, had now turned into a hell on earth.

On the street that was still full of traffic two hours ago, there was no car running at this time, and all the cars had turned into a pile of scrap iron.

Wei Buzheng didn't know where to go. He ran to the square of the shopping mall and saw a pile of car wreckage where he got off the taxi just now. There was a taxi sign on it that had not been completely corroded. The young and enthusiastic driver was silent Sitting still in a pile of rust: he turned into a zombie.

Standing in the rain, Wei Buzheng looked blankly at the people bumping into the road like headless flies, the zombies chasing them, and the zombies who were quiet and dazed.

A low growl from the chest came from behind, Wei Buzheng turned around, avoided the hand of a tall zombie, stepped away, kicked him in the waist, the zombie fell to the ground, Wei Buzheng turned to Run east.

Before running 100 meters, the crowd running in front of him suddenly screamed and turned around. Wei Buzheng stepped aside to the side of the road, and the screaming crowd ran past him, followed by three zombies waving their arms. Wei Buzheng saw There was a flash of light on the zombie's waving hand, and he found that it was the zombie's nails.

On the black or gray hands of the zombies, there were white nails about two inches long.

The zombie who ran in the front grabbed the middle-aged woman who fell behind with his right hand. With a thought, Wei Buzheng saw a stainless steel pot appear in his hand. He raised the pot and smashed it hard at the zombie, but it was too late, the zombie His nails had scratched the woman's back.

The zombie was hit on the head by the stainless steel pot, stood still, and raised his hand to touch the turquoise slime dripping from his forehead, holding it up in front of his eyes.

The two zombies behind seemed to be attracted by the movement of the stainless steel pot falling, and they also stopped, standing there looking at the pot, looking very curious.

The middle-aged woman ran away with the crowd crying and screaming in despair. Wei Buzheng yelled at the zombies: "You have been human for decades, and you become a dog when you get a little crazy?"

The three zombies stood there, still looking at what they were interested in, but no one paid any attention to him.

Wei Buzheng was a little dazed after shouting, he took a few steps back and turned his back to the wall of the roadside shop, so as not to be attacked suddenly.

The people on the street were still running, and those running and slowing down, and finally turning into a very slow and stagnant wandering state, were people who suddenly became zombies or zombies.

Those who ran kept away from Wei Buzheng and the three zombies.

Wei Buzheng stood by the wall, watching the three zombies, until another zombie on the road was about to catch up with a young mother who was running with a child in her arms. body.

The young mother and child ran away, but only for more than 20 meters, their speed slowed down, and finally turned into walking forward very slowly, like sleepwalking.

The zombie that was hit didn't stop either, he just froze, and then continued to run after the crowd, but at a much slower speed. When he ran past the mother and child, he didn't stop, nor went up to bite.

From time to time, there were screams coming from all directions, but the street of Weibuzheng was quiet: more and more people turned into zombies while running, and those who didn't turned into being chased by zombies, ran out of sight.

When he came to the mother and child, the one-year-old child had also turned into a little zombie. Wei Buzheng felt that the way he looked at him was still innocent and ignorant.

Seeing that no one was awake, Wei Buzheng put his right hand on the child's forehead.

Wu Chong followed his fingertips into the body, and about a minute later, Wei Buzheng took his hand down and carefully observed the child's face.

After a few minutes, he stepped out of the way in disappointment, allowing the mother and child zombies to continue on their way.

He felt that he had absorbed the Wu Chong in the child's body, but the child did not return to normal.

Standing in place for a while, Wei Buzheng turned around and walked towards Crown Mall.

The Wu Chong in his body was still surging, and it was getting more and more intense. He had to find a safe place to vent.

When the chaos first opened, all kinds of spiritual energy will be violent (of course, compared with Qingling, Wu Chong is more violent), which will bring huge disasters to the creatures in the existing world. Those who can - that is, the spiritual root that practitioners call - have great benefits. At this time, the spiritual energy can promote the growth, nourishment and tempering of the spiritual root, which is the stability of the energy order in the new world. After forming, the properties gradually become incomparable to the peaceful aura.

For Wei Buzheng, who has an innate chaotic spirit body, all auras are the same, Wu Chong is arsenic to other people, but to Wei Buzheng, it is honey like Qingling.

As the most domineering spiritual energy, Wuchong is more effective than Qingling in tempering the tenacity of meridians and flesh. Wei Buzheng's current body is pure enough but not tough enough.

The cooperation between Wu Chong and Qing Ling can make Wei Buzheng's chaotic spirit body reach the perfection in terms of purity and tenacity at the same time.

These were the last words Da Neng told Wei Buzheng before he left that day.

From yesterday morning to now, he has not rested. Just now in the supermarket, he felt unprecedentedly mighty and thick Wu Chong. He originally wanted to buy something quickly, and after he came out, he would find a hotel to enter the space, sleep for a while, and then come out, so that he can rest assured He started to practice, but now, he decided not to enter the space.

Wu Chong is domineering and powerful. He wants to perceive Wu Chong's attributes as soon as possible, let it forge his body, increase the capacity of Qingling and Wu Chong in his body, so that these two energies can change from quantity to qualitative change, and finally achieve the goal of being able to control Qingling. Ling and Wuchong are released in person and used as weapons to protect themselves and their grandparents in the end times.

Wei Buzheng returned to the Crown Mall.

The door of the commercial building was open, and the inside was in a mess. There were no living people or zombies, only dozens of zombies wandering slowly among the shelves.

Wei Buzheng walked among a group of zombies at a normal speed, and the zombies didn't seem to sense him.

He found that there was a problem in the food area and the drink area, and all the plastic packaging was being corroded rapidly. He suddenly thought of the bags he used to pack braised noodles and puff pastry in Qiaotou, Linjiang Town. When he realized something, he ran immediately In the past, all kinds of pure water, mineral water and beverages that have not been completely corroded were put into the clean ceramic basins that had been washed in the space.

There was a strong smell of alcohol and it was found that some of the bottles had corroded plastic caps.

For domestic liquor, bottle caps with wooden stoppers have been eliminated for hundreds of years. Now, no matter how exquisite and beautiful the bottle is, the bottle caps always use plastic or rubber. Both of these are corroding now, but the rubber is much slower.

Wei Buzheng casually put all the wine that he felt would be unstoppable sooner or later into the space.

He doesn't like alcohol, but in the last days, everything is in short supply, and alcohol can be used to sterilize.

Although the packaging of the food was also damaged, the food would not evaporate, so Wei Buzheng did not touch it.

He didn't touch other things that seemed to be in good condition.

He avoided the swimming zombies and went up to the second floor. The second floor is full of women's clothing and shoes. The floor is full of fallen clothes hangers, clothing bags, and shoe boxes. Dozens of female zombies are sitting on the sofa in the rest area. They are in a daze, and more are walking slowly aimlessly.

He saw two female zombies, but they didn't run frantically, they just walked back and forth at the speed of normal people, as if they were eager to leave and couldn't find the exit.

Wei Buzheng didn't dare to disturb the zombies, so he went up to the third floor cautiously.

The third floor is a monopoly of high-end brand clothing. In the small Yajin City, rich people gather together, and high-end luxury goods never worry about customers.

But compared to the relatively ordinary clothing area below (Wei Buzheng saw the price tags of some clothes by accident on the second floor, and he thought they were expensive enough), there were far fewer people here.

The rich will always be a minority.

On the third floor, there are only two gorgeously dressed female zombies and a shop assistant zombie in a blue suit.

The two female zombies seem to be conscious, still looking at the clothes on the shelf, but if you look closely, you will find that their eyes are out of focus.

The female clerk stood at the counter of her clothing store, staring at the book in front of her in a daze.

There were a dozen large bags of clothes thrown at the stairway. It should be that when the customers who just bought clothes were about to leave, zombies and zombies appeared, and they threw everything down in a panic.

This should be the least crowded floor of all the floors.

Wei Buzheng bent down and picked up a few discarded bags, took them to the northwest corner farthest from the stairs, stopped at a shop with an English shop name, and slowly opened the door of the fitting room: there was no Zombie or undead.

He went in, stacked the big bags of clothes on the ground, then sat on them, adjusted his breathing, and began to shove.

He imagined opening every cell in his body, and Wu Chong was like a stream of water, slowly flowing along the meridians and tendons, permeating spiritual power into every cell of his body along the way, and in an instant, he seemed to be sinking into the vast ocean of Wu Chong , boundless...
