Night of apocalypse

After a long time.

Shen Qiu appeared under a house that was closer to the castle wall, and did not approach the city wall hastily.

He squinted his eyes and carefully observed the wall in front, which was about 150 meters high, higher than the previous wall.

There are still a large number of coffins hanging on the wall, and a large number of white silks are densely covered.

As for the mechanism, although Shen Qiu is not very clear, there should be a high probability.

Overall, the difficulty of climbing is higher than before.

And the most troublesome thing is not the problem of climbing over, but there are a large number of corpse guards on it, and these corpse guards are not sleeping, standing on the city wall like logs.

Shen Qiu's expression kept changing, he lowered his head to glance at the time on the bracelet, and then walked back.

He temporarily gave up the plan to forcibly climb over, not because he was cowardly, but mainly because he felt that it was inappropriate now, and the target in broad daylight was too conspicuous.

At that time, even if you go up, when you are chased and killed by the corpse man, you will not be able to hide if you want to.

So simply wait until it gets dark before acting. Since the corpses here are still lighting kerosene lamps, it means that their eyesight has not been greatly evolved, and light and darkness still have an impact.

Now there are more than five hours before it gets dark, and it is not appropriate to stand under the city wall for such a long time, so I might as well go back and find a safe building to squat in.

Just as Shen Qiu walked back for a certain distance, he was suddenly taken aback.

He saw the street in front of him from a distance, and a familiar figure looked around there, like a thief.

Yun Xiaoxi?

Shen Qiu observed carefully, and it was really her. Then he showed a smile, and a hint of teasing interest arose.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Qiu walked towards Yun Xiaoxi from the side alley.

Not long after, Shen Qiu walked around behind Yun Xiaoxi, and saw Yun Xiaoxi walking forward step by step in a distracted manner.

Hi!

Shen Qiu reached out and patted Yun Xiaoxi's shoulder.

Yun Xiaoxi was frightened immediately, she reacted instinctively, turned around and kicked Shen Qiu's abdomen with all her strength.

Boom!

Ouch~

Shen Qiu's abdomen was suddenly hit hard, and the severe pain made him turn pale, and he couldn't help squatting down while clutching his stomach.

It's me, you're too ruthless, aren't you?

Only now did Yun Xiaoxi see clearly that it was Shen Qiu who was sneaking up on her. Immediately, his eyes turned red, and he squatted down, crying.

Woo~

Seeing Yun Xiaoxi squatting and crying, Shen Qiu was stupefied, he comforted him dumbfounded.

Uh, why are you crying? I was the one who was beaten, okay?

As a result, Yun Xiaoxi cried even more sadly, and stretched out her arms to put her arms around Shen Qiu's neck.

Shen Qiu was a little flustered immediately, and apologized quickly.

Okay, okay, my fault, I shouldn't be joking with you, don't cry.

Woo, I finally found someone. I thought I was going to die here alone.

Yun Xiaoxi said to Shen Qiu sobbing.

Shen Qiu couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, he thought something was wrong.

It's okay, it's not okay.

However, in the next second, Yun Xiaoxi, who was holding Shen Qiu in her arms, slipped and fell to the ground weakly.

Hey, what's wrong with you, where are you hurt?

Shen Qiu also panicked immediately, and asked hastily.

I'm hungry.

Yun Xiaoxi said weakly.

Shen Qiu was also taken aback when he heard this. Then he quickly took out a pack of compressed biscuits from his pocket and handed it to Yun Xiaoxi.

Yun Xiaoxi, who was originally weak, suddenly came to life, took the biscuit and tore open the package, lifted the mask slightly, revealing the small cherry mouth, and started to gnaw wildly.

Eat slowly, there are still more.

Shen Qiu took out the separate mechanical capsule and activated it still on the ground, took out water from it and handed it to Yun Xiaoxi.

Yun Xiaoxi took it, and immediately dazzled the whole bottle of water.

Shen Qiu silently handed her a bag of food, and he couldn't help shaking his head. Thinking back to the first time I saw her, she was also starved to death.

Now that they met again, she was still starved to death, Shen Qiu was a little bit dumbfounded.

You don't know how I've lived these days. I thought I was going to starve to death.

Yun Xiaoxi replied inarticulately.

Shen Qiu sighed, and then took out another mechanical capsule that was still on the ground. He sorted out the contents of the individual mechanical capsule, moved the contents into the complete set of mechanical capsules, and left a lot of water and food. Yes, then shrank the capsule and handed it to Yun Xiaoxi and said.

You hold this mechanical capsule, which contains food and drink. In case we are separated, the contents inside can save your life.

When Yun Xiaoxi heard Shen Qiu's words, her little head shook like a rattle.

No, I don't want to be separated from you, it's too scary here.

After hearing this, Shen Qiu also smiled dumbly, and said helplessly.

I said just in case.

Not in case.

Yun Xiaoxi shook her head vigorously, but refused to take the capsule.

Okay, stop making trouble. It's impossible for me to be by your side all the time, holding this capsule, which contains a lot of food and drink, which can save lives at critical moments.

As Shen Qiu spoke, she forcibly stuffed the mechanical capsule into Yun Xiaoxi's hand.

All right.

Yun Xiaoxi regained her sense a little, and took it.

By the way, why are you here? And you are so lucky that you overlap directly to the second floor?

Shen Qiu knelt down and chatted with Yun Xiaoxi.

Yun Xiaoxi was even more aggrieved when she heard Shen Qiu's words.

I don't know what's going on. I was staying at home, but somehow the broken box glowed and overlapped me in. I didn't prepare anything. If I came in normally, how could I be so miserable.

Shen Qiu was slightly startled when he heard Yun Xiaoxi's words.

What about the box?

At this.

Yun Xiaoxi immediately took out the dark metal box and handed it to Shen Qiu.

Shen Qiu took the box, his expression became very exciting, he said to Yun Xiaoxi.

Let's go to the next house.

good!

Yun Xiaoxi replied while nibbling on the compressed biscuits.

Soon after, the two appeared in an inconspicuous residential building.

Shen Qiu dug out the theory of evolution, and then kept playing with the dark metal box.

Why do you keep looking at this box? It's just an empty box.

Yun Xiaoxi asked curiously while pulling the beef jerky.

Not necessarily.

Shen Qiu replied with a smile.

Could it be possible to conjure something?

Yun Xiaoxi asked suspiciously.

definitely.

Shen Qiu touched the thin stick hidden in the dark metal box, and pulled it out.

He tried to turn it, and suddenly the whole box was like a Rubik's cube, which could be turned.

Looking at this scene, Yun Xiaoxi said very miraculously.

Hey, it can turn?

Not only can it turn, but there is something inside.

Shen Qiu did not hide from Yun Xiaoxi.

Ah? How is it possible!

Yun Xiaoxi was also very surprised when she heard Shen Qiu's words, she always thought the box was empty.

Really, but now there is a problem.

Shen Qiu fell into a tangled expression.

What trouble?

Yun Xiaoxi asked curiously.

Someone told me that according to the cover pattern of this Theory of Evolution, if you turn this box, you can get something. But the front and bottom covers of this Theory of Evolution are different, which one should I follow?

Shen Qiu flipped through the Theory of Evolution, and if he observed carefully, he would find that the sun-like eyes branded on the front of the book were open, while the back was closed.

This made Shen Qiu a little confused.

Why do you think so much, just turn it all over again.

After Yun Xiaoxi finished speaking nonchalantly, she continued to eat beef jerky with her head down. Eating is the most important thing now.

Shen Qiu's eyes lit up immediately after hearing her words, as if the truth was correct, so he started to turn the box.

After half an hour.

Shen Qiu successfully transformed the lines on the box into the pattern on the front cover of The Theory of Evolution.

Click!

Suddenly, the dark metal box made a crisp sound.

Hearing the movement, Yun Xiaoxi also stopped to eat.

Shen Qiu took a deep breath and opened the box with a little excitement, a purple and bewitching flower came into the eyes of the two of them.

It's amazing, there is really something, what is it?

Yun Xiaoxi asked in surprise.

Shen Qiu picked up the bracelet and pointed it at the flower, trying to get Xiao Qi to identify it.

??? Suspected of eternal flower, but not sure.

Xiaoqi gave a vague answer.

Shen Qiu stroked his chin without paying too much attention, he took out the flower and put it into his mechanical capsule.

Then Shen Qiu closed the box again and turned the box again.

This time he was going to put together another figure.

Ten minutes later, the pattern on the box was spelled out to look like the bottom of the theory of evolution.

Click!

The dark metal box made a crisp sound again.

Shen Qiu's eyes lit up when he heard this voice, there is really something there.

He was quite happy to open the dark box, but when he saw the contents of the box, he was stunned.

This is a key made of black gemstones. This key is very complicated, and it is densely covered with irregular key teeth.

Shen Qiu picked up this key curiously, and observed it repeatedly.

Where is this key?

Yun Xiaoxi asked curiously.

I don't know.

Shen Qiu was also quite puzzled.

Could it be the key to the gate of the castle?

Yun Xiaoxi asked with bright eyes.

Probably not, the door key will not be so small and delicate.

Where would that be the key?

Forget it, don't guess, go back and bump into a similar keyhole, try it and you will know, here it is.

Shen Qiu was not too entangled, and then directly handed the key to Yun Xiaoxi.

Yun Xiaoxi was also taken aback when she saw the key Shen Qiu handed over.

What for me?

One person keeps the same!

Shen Qiu replied casually.

No, you keep it, so I feel more at ease.

Yun Xiaoxi shook her head and replied.

real?

Um!

Okay then, let me go first.

After Shen Qiu finished speaking, he directly put the key and the box into the mechanical capsule.

At this time, Yun Xiaoxi suddenly thought of something, and then said.

By the way, you can ask the person who told you there is something in the box, he should know something.

That person died a long time ago. As for the box, it's actually a mission reward that person gave me in advance.

Huh? What did that person ask you to do?

Kill the king.

Shen Qiu replied indifferently.

Yun Xiaoxi was also shocked when she heard this, she immediately shook her head like a rattle, and said to Shen Qiu.

Shen Qiu, it's better not to go, the monsters here are very perverted. The king is probably stronger, and you have already received the reward? There is no need to go anymore, right?

When Shen Qiu heard Yun Xiaoxi's words, she also smiled dumbly and said to Yun Xiaoxi.

If it were someone else, and the rewards are all in hand, I probably really quit. But since I have promised her, I can't give up halfway. And there is another very important reason why I continue to perform that task .”

what reason?

Yun Xiaoxi looked at Shen Qiu very puzzled.

The king of Qianyin Kingdom is called Mellon. Before he became the king, he was missing for a while. Later, he seemed to be on the hook, dismantling the old kingdom and becoming the new king. At the same time, he led the entire civilization to perish. .Now I suspect that something must have happened during his disappearance. He must know something. If he can be taken down, maybe there is a chance to unravel the real reason for the overlap. We must know that our current world is following their lead follow suit.

Shen Qiu explained to Yun Xiaoxi with a serious expression.

Yun Xiaoxi was also shocked when she heard this.

If that's the case, then we're really going to have to give it a go.

That's right, it is indeed a fight. But it is not completely impossible. Although the monsters in this world are powerful, they are still within the scope of cognition. They are not as perverted as Monkdo beasts. We still have a chance of.

Shen Qiu nodded, in fact, if it was changed to before, he really wouldn't necessarily be involved in these matters.

But after seeing so many ruined civilizations, and the precarious Hongmeng, he clearly realized that there will be no eggs under the overturned nest.

If their civilization is really destroyed, they may not be able to survive alone.

So what are we going to do now?

Yun Xiaoxi stared at Shen Qiu and asked.

When it gets dark, we'll find a way to enter the castle.

Shen Qiu said very bluntly.

Okay, then let's have a good rest.

Yun Xiaoxi nodded heavily.

Qianyin Castle.

Mellon returned to the sacred and gorgeous golden robe, put on the triple crown, and sat on the throne on the watchtower.

The huge blood pool in front of the gazebo moved.

Click!

I saw two opposing stone platforms extending from the wall of the pit, closing to the cross, and forming a road on both sides.

Eleven blood knights led many corpse soldiers, escorting a large number of captives.

At this time, Eric walked to Mellon's side and reported respectfully.

Your Majesty, most of those who broke in were captured. But some individual masters and some minions escaped.

Is the sacrifice enough?

Mellon asked hoarsely.

It's still close, I will send more people to search and arrest, and I will definitely gather the sacrifices that His Majesty needs.

Eric hesitated for a moment, and reported the truth.

No, hang them up, I believe, they will come to rescue.

There was a look of fanaticism in Mellon's eyes. He had been waiting for this day for too long, and finally everything was ready.

clear!

Erik replied respectfully.

Not long after, all the captured prisoners were put into special cages and hung on crosses.

Time passed little by little, and gradually night fell.

At this time, Shen Qiu and Yun Xiaoxi quickly ran towards the wall under the castle.

It didn't take long for the two of them to reach the bottom of the wall smoothly.

Yun Xiaoxi looked at the towering city wall and the coffin hanging on it, she swallowed a mouthful of foam.

Shen Qiu, can we really go up?

After Shen Qiu observed carefully, he found that there seemed to be fewer corpse soldiers on the city wall, and they became sparser, so he immediately said to Yun Xiaoxi.

It's not easy to go up, the difficulty is very high, let's go around the castle to see where it is the weakest.

good.

Yun Xiaoxi nodded.

By the way, this weapon is for you.

Shen Qiu then handed the Blue Sky Blade to Yun Xiaoxi.

Yun Xiaoxi took it subconsciously, but when she saw clearly that the cube atomic module was embedded in the sword, she was also stunned.

This weapon is too expensive.

If you want to hold it, you can hold it. When you turn around and fight, there are two different things if you have a weapon in your hand or if you don't have a weapon in your hand.

Shen Qiu couldn't help tapping Yun Xiaoxi's head lightly and said.

Oh, well, then I'll use it first.

Yun Xiaoxi nodded when she heard what Shen Qiu said.

Walk.

Shen Qiu didn't talk nonsense, he led Yun Xiaoxi along the city wall, looking for a weak breakthrough.

After more than an hour.

Shen Qiu and Yun Xiaoxi walked, unknowingly getting closer to the south gate of the castle.

At this moment, Yun Xiaoxi said in surprise.

Look, Shen Qiu, the gate of that castle seems to be open.

Shen Qiu was also very surprised when he heard Yun Xiaoxi's words. Immediately looking at the past from a distance, it turns out that the south gate of the castle is really open.

What's the situation? The door is open?

But it seems that there are corpse guards, but the number doesn't seem to be many.

Yun Xiaoxi observed carefully and said.

Shen Qiu looked at the open south gate and the sparse defensive force, and couldn't help but feel a drum in his heart, there must be a demon if something goes wrong.

At this moment, Shen Qiu suddenly noticed movement behind him, then turned around and shouted in a low voice.

who?

Yun Xiaoxi sensed something was wrong, and immediately turned around.

At this time Lieutenant General Hedley came out with a group of subordinates.

not good!

Shen Qiu saw that he was a member of the Lanmeng, his pupils shrank slightly, and lightning flashed all over his body, ready to fight.

stop.

At this time a voice sounded.

Shen Qiu and Yun Xiaoxi turned their heads to look over, only to see Shi Yao, General Dimlock, Baikatu and others walking over.

Shi Yao!

Yun Xiaoxi shouted in surprise.

Xiaoxi.

Shi Yao was also taken aback, she didn't expect Yun Xiaoxi to be here too.

Yun Xiaoxi immediately ran up very happily, hugged Shiyao and said.

It's really you, why are you here?

Looking at this scene, Shen Qiu frowned slightly, feeling very uneasy in his heart.

People from the Red League, the Blue League, and the Gray League are actually walking together. No one will believe this.

At this moment, the gazes of Hedley and Dimlock couldn't help falling on the blue sky blade pinned to Yun Xiaoxi's waist. Their expressions were a little unnatural, but they soon returned to normal.

Shen Qiu asked in a deep voice at this time.

Shi Yao, what's going on, why are you with people from the Blue League and the Gray League?

Yes, Shi Yao, why are you with them?

Yun Xiaoxi also asked very curiously.

Baikatu and others didn't mean to explain. After all, the members of the Red League let them explain themselves.

We've called a truce.

Shi Yao said simply.

armistice?

Shen Qiu became even more curious.

Our people, as well as theirs, were captured by the troops of Qianyin Kingdom and are now locked in the castle. We all managed to escape, and then bumped into each other! Now we have reached an agreement to work together to rescue people.

Shi Yao simply explained.

Ah, it's so serious!

Yun Xiaoxi was also very surprised when she heard this.

After listening to Shi Yao's words, Shen Qiu glanced at the members of the Blue League and the Gray League, and found that there were only a hundred people left in the Blue League, and only a few dozen people in the Gray League.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at Hadley.

How many of you were arrested?

too much.

Hedley twitched his face fiercely. Among all the people, they were the most arrested, with a total of more than 600 people.

Shen Qiu turned to look at Baikatu.

How many people in Baikatu were arrested? And I remember that you Gray Alliance don't seem to care about casualties, so you actually want to save people?

It's none of your business, I'm happy to save people.

Baikatu replied angrily. In fact, if his elder brother and several important younger brothers hadn't been arrested, he wouldn't want to save people.

Shen Qiu finally turned to look at Shi Yao.

How many of us were arrested?

I only know about 20 people. I don't know the others. But Lieutenant Colonel Guo Zong was also arrested. Shen Qiu, please help us save people together.

Shi Yao calmly said to Shen Qiu.

Hedley also spoke at this time.

This kid is very strong. With him joining, our chances of winning will increase by one more point.

When Baikatu heard Hedri's evaluation of Shen Qiu, he was slightly taken aback, and looked at Shen Qiu in a different way.

For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Shen Qiu.

Facing everyone's expectant eyes, Shen Qiu spoke directly.

I reject.

Why?

Shi Yao and the others were also startled.

This is purely to die.

Shen Qiu replied calmly.

We are a little short of manpower now, but we are still gathering scattered people, and we should be able to gather some people.

Hedley explained.

Then I also refuse.

Shen Qiu replied unceremoniously.

Why? Guo Zong and the others have been arrested, and now we must work together.

Shi Yao looked at Shen Qiu very puzzled, she thought it would be a matter of course, but in the end Shen Qiu refused.

Yun Xiaoxi also asked in puzzlement.

Shen Qiu?

Shen Qiu said directly and calmly.

We were arrested in the twenties, and there were no friends or team members of mine. What does it have to do with me? Why should I risk my life to save them?

Do you know what you're talking about?

When Shi Yao heard Shen Qiu's words, she said angrily.

I know. The problem has nothing to do with me. I don't want to take risks. I want to take risks for you.

Shen Qiu said unceremoniously.

you

Shi Yao's chest heaved a little with anger.

Shen Qiu, don't be like this, Shi Yao, don't be angry either, just speak up if you have something to say.

Yun Xiaoxi was also a little panicked, so she quickly persuaded both sides.

Baikatu, Hedri and the others looked at this scene with no special changes in their expressions. According to their thinking logic, it is normal for Shen Qiu not to want to get involved, after all he has no important person to be captured, so why take risks.

Then Shen Qiu said directly to Yun Xiaoxi.

Xiaoxi, let's go.

Huh? This

Yun Xiaoxi was also stunned.

Xiao Xi, don't go with him, this kind of person is not worth it for being selfish.

Shi Yao said very angrily.

Xiaoxi, do you want to go with me or stay with her, it's up to you to choose.

After Shen Qiu finished speaking, she turned around and left.

Yun Xiaoxi was also in a difficult situation for a while.

But when she saw Shen Qiu leaving, she quickly apologized to Shi Yao, and then chased after Shen Qiu.

I'm sorry! Shi Yao.

Shen Qiu, wait for me!
