Chapter 44 He is walking eastwards and the evil ghost is coming!
Chu Xiuyan leaned against the wall and asked Zhang Chun to measure his height.
Zhang Chun looked helpless. He estimated the boy's height and gradually his expression changed.
The system said indifferently: [I've already told you that you have grown three centimeters taller than when you first landed in this world. You have successfully broken through the 1.7 meter mark. Congratulations.]
Chu Xiuyan said dissatisfiedly: [I am 1.78 meters tall in the real world, give me back the remaining 8 centimeters! Damn it!]
"It seems to have grown a few centimeters."
Zhang Chunqi thought it was his own illusion at first, but after careful observation, he saw that the boy had indeed grown taller, despite having hardly changed in the one month he had been in the Yellowstone settlement.
He? Through the gap in his bangs, he saw the black-haired boy in front of him running around the room cheering, his emotions fully revealed on his face, and he couldn't help but gradually feel a headache? , and finally turned into a long sigh, motioning the boy to give him the task bracelet? .
After a few operations, he logged into the backend and turned on the intercommunication mode, directly connecting to the real-time positioning map of the ruins city that was transferred to him - the Lion Boss version.
That green dot hasn't moved for a long time. I wonder what happened on the other side?
Zhang Chun returned the bracelet to Chu Xiuyan and turned back to his desk. "Anyway, if you feel bored, you can go to the east to look for Jing Heng. Cui Zhiyong will also go there. You can discuss the specific time of departure later. By the way, if there is any danger on the road, let him go to investigate first. Don't just eat the fruits on the trees casually, and..."
He looked up and found that the black-haired boy who was still running around had disappeared without a trace.
I guess maybe he was waiting? He didn't have time to talk to Choi Ji-yong about the departure, so he didn't think much about it and continued to work?
The beast tide has ended, but the follow-up work is still busy. He has to familiarize himself with the positions of the departments in the A3 base, rescue operations, reconstruction work, and even negotiate with the city of Ruins about the ownership of the A3 base. All of these things make him unable to spare any extra energy for a while.
Unfortunately, the original subordinates were scattered to different areas and could not come in a short time.
Zhang Chun opened a document and lifted his bangs slightly, which blocked his vision. The title of the document at the bottom was "Expansion Project Centered on A3 Base".
Thirty thousand people.
He? Want, 30,000 people, how can? How can we completely control the A3 base in the shortest time?
That golden pillar that suppressed the vine dragon could still suppress the strange sounds in the base for a short period of time, and his presence could also delay the emergence of those villains, but what about after a month, or two months?
The blood crystal pollution on him, the abnormality on Yunyan, the [God] behind the golden pillar, any one of them, once exposed, could become the fuse that triggers a riot in the base and backfire on itself.
If he wanted to use the power of the base to protect certain people, he had to be prepared for backlash in advance.
So he needed a faster speed and more severe means, so that this base could only echo his voice.
Zhang Chun came back to his senses, and the ink from the pen left deep marks on the white paper.
He continued writing his plan calmly.
——【Forge the city】.
Half an hour later.
Cui Zhiyong walked in, put one hand in his pocket, yawned lazily, crossed his legs skillfully, and sat on the sofa, crunching snacks.
Zhang Chun was disturbed by his noise and looked up at him: "Why are you still here?"
Cui Zhiyong looked at him blankly? "I'm here? You? For breakfast?"
Zhang Chun's attention was directly extended from this sentence to another place. Something flashed in his mind and his expression changed slightly, "Yun Yan didn't come? Looking for you?"
Cui Zhiyong seemed to be frightened, and yelled: "Him? Come? What do you want to see me for? Did you say something bad about me to him?!"
"It's over, it's over..."
Zhang Chun quickly activated his special powers and began to look for the black-haired boy.
Using the soil and the earth as his "eyes", he quickly looked around the base and searched the forest to the east, but after more than ten minutes, he still didn't find any familiar figures.
Zhang Chun stood up with an ugly look on his face and kicked Cui Zhiyong who looked confused, "Get up! Yun Yan ran out to find someone by himself, you hurry up and follow him!"
Cui Zhiyong continued to eat snacks and said casually: "No, where can I find him? Huh? Besides, nothing will happen to a person that old. He is not only three or four years old."
"The last time he went on a long journey alone, he visited the A3 base, the [Heart], the [Forest God], the alien organization in the northwest, the base leader in the ruined city, and the base that was almost destroyed..."
Every time Zhang Chun said a key word, Cui Zhiyong's movements slowed down a bit.
"He followed Jing Heng's location. Although he was going very fast, he would definitely be distracted by other things on the way. So you followed the shortest path and then dispersed the search in both directions... Don't you also want to develop water-based supernatural power monitoring technology? Now is your chance to master it, go!"
Zhang Chun gave Cui Zhiyong an emotionless smile. "If you fail to find him, and fail to find Jing Heng, then your pornographic books will be ruined—including the ones you drew yourself. You know, even if you hide them, I will find them."
Choi Ji-young: “…despicable!”
He angrily threw the snacks on the table, and trudged to pack his bag to leave.
At this time, Chu Xiuyan was buying braised pork in the store. He was about to go to the east to find the Lion Boss and return to the Huangshi settlement to give some braised pork to everyone in the village.
After saying goodbye to the old lady in the store with a smile, he walked straight to the east gate, completely unaware that Zhang Chun was looking for him.
[You are not going with Cui Zhiyong? ] The system asked.
Chu Xiuyan said very cleverly: [I go out to play alone, and we go to work together. Of course, the former is more comfortable.]
However, the moment I stepped out of the base gate, I felt a sudden sense of weightlessness? The next second, my eyes went dark, and then I felt the pain of landing heavily on the ground... Actually, it wasn't very painful, just a sense of confusion.
Chu Xiuyan's first reaction was that the hole he had dug before was not filled yet?
Then, two voices came from the hole above his head.
"Well, I've told you that your method is wrong. The skill of digging pits is not about quantity but precision. Even if you dig out the whole mountain, once the target becomes alert and unwilling to approach, those pits will be completely useless. It's basically a waste of effort. The essence of digging pits to block people is to catch them off guard and unexpectedly."
A head popped up on the left. It looked less than ten years old and wore a brown cap. It glanced at Chu Xiuyan at the bottom of the pit and said hello, "Hey, newcomer."
A head popped out from the right, with long red hair hanging down. Mingji half-knelt on the ground and lifted the hair that blocked his view to the side of his ear, and said thoughtfully? "Is that so? That's it, I got it."
The handsome No. 6 patted his trouser legs, stood up and said, "Well, that's it. I have to continue catching birds. Contact me when you have time."
Mingji asked casually: "Going to the northwest again?"
Number Six nodded: "Sooner or later I will have to sell all the intelligence in the northwest."
After saying that, he turned and walked into the forest, waving goodbye.
Mingji looked up at No. 6, but when he looked down again, he found that the black-haired boy at the bottom of the pit had disappeared without a trace. Before he could get up, he became alert. The next second, he heard a heavy kick from behind, and the man rolled into the bottom of the pit in an instant.
"ah!"
Mingji fell to the ground with his buttocks, shaking his head to lift up the hair covering his face. As soon as he looked up, he saw a familiar face emerging from the cave entrance.
The black-haired boy imitated him? In his previous appearance, he half-crouched at the edge of the pit and said faintly: "It was unexpected and beyond my expectation. I have already learned the essence, Mr. Stupid Senior."
Mingji: “???”
He almost laughed out of anger, but he didn't care about being angry for the moment. He was busy combing his tangled hair, and then quickly said: "I don't have time to chat with you. I'll give you a code name [Nine]. Do you want it? "
Chu Xiuyan held his chin and said indifferently: "Do you have this power? By the way, don't you have any identity proof?"
Ming Ji sneered, his eyes showing a hint of amusement: "If anyone dares to say you are not, or if anyone dares to steal your code name, just kill them one by one until no one dares to use [Nine], isn't that enough?"
Chu Xiuyan's nonchalant attitude changed. He fixed his gaze on the red-haired man at the bottom of the pit, raised the corners of his mouth, and said meaningfully: "In other words, if I want it? [2], then I can also snatch it from you?"
Mingji: “Okay.”
He grinned, his red hair fluttering slightly. Although he was in a low position, his momentum did not decrease but increased. He hooked his finger at the young man and said provocatively: "Want to fight? You little brat who doesn't respect your seniors?"
Chu Xiuyan shrugged. “Forget it. I think the number [2] is stupid.”
Mingji: “Hey!”
The momentum that had just risen was punctured like a balloon, and the red-haired man who flew back to the ground said, "I'm here to say goodbye to you too. I have to go to the ruins city to save people."
Chu Xiuyan tilted his head: "Why are you saving people again? Search and rescue dog?"
"I'll beat you, bastard!"
After bidding farewell to the red rescue dog that was busy grooming his hair, Chu Xiuyan continued walking towards the forest to the east.
The giant golden pillar stood tall, and no matter whether you looked up or down, you could not see the end.
With the Golden Pillar as the center, a large area of trees around it was destroyed, just connected to the area where Chu Xiuyan had cut down all the trees two days ago. Many teams in construction uniforms came and went in a hurry, as if measuring the distance. Chu Xiuyan walked over and asked, and they said they were going to build a road.
"Then? Where should we repair it?"
A worker replied: "The gentleman said that he wanted to connect all five areas in the east."
Chu Xiuyan was stunned for a while before he matched the "that adult" the other party was referring to with Zhang Chun.
In an instant, a thought came to my mind.
[Has the uncle become You know who? Hahahaha! ]
As if something funny had been done, Chu Xiuyan covered his stomach with laughter as he continued to go deeper into the eastern forest.
Many corpses of strange animals can be seen on the road. As the sun rises in the dark forest, it gradually becomes brighter. Many beams of light shine through the layers of leaves, casting mottled light and shadows.
According to the positioning monitoring map given by Zhang Chun, he found the first stop, which was the first settlement explored by the Lion Boss.
Not far from the A3 base, all the houses, big and small, collapsed, and many corpses were exposed to the sun, completely stiff.
The underground shelters were destroyed and few survivors were found.
"Because this mother and daughter didn't have time to escape to the shelter, they hid in the cellar and smeared pickles on their bodies to cover up their smell. They became the only two survivors in this settlement."
Zai Zhe pushed his eyes? Mirror said.
He is in charge of the rescue operation in this direction.
At present, the A3 base has dispatched more than ten rescue teams, most of which are a combination of psychics and armed elites, who are advancing the rescue and exploration work in a fan-shaped manner to the east.
Chu Xiuyan looked around and saw that the only member of Tianxu team was Zai Zhe, and two unfamiliar psychics.
Zhang Chun dispersed the original team of psychics and reorganized them.
[Ah… want it? Damn it, you have a brain! ]
Chu Xiuyan shook his head, looked at Zai Zhe and said, "I want to ask a question."
Zai Zhe smiled and pushed his glasses: "Please."
"Why would you? Carry a coffin?"
"My intuition tells me that there is the remains of the lion boss ahead. I really want to take it back."
Chu Xiuyan was silent for a while, then asked, "Excuse me, are you dissatisfied with the character of the gentleman villain, the black-bellied eyes? The mirror man plus the S-level domain-type superpower?"
Zai Zhe said, "I can't help it. My parents run a funeral home. The more famous the deceased is, the better the drainage effect will be. After using it, I can sell it on the black market for money. It's the best of both worlds."
Chu Xiuyan: "You are also a demon walking in the world, hello fellow."
Although Zai Zhe didn't understand the boy's thinking process, it didn't stop him from politely responding, "Hello."
He paused, "Since you are Zhang Chun's child, you should have the right to hand over his body to me to deal with, right?"
“…”
Chu Xiuyan imitated Zai Zhe's expression and smiled? "Go away."
He decided not to say goodbye to Zaizhe, leaving him with a cold back and heading straight into the eastern forest.
The second and third stops were all settlements that had been reduced to ruins, and the system detected that only a few survivors were still alive.
Did you encounter any survivors who were out looking for food? When the blond man passed by, he nodded, "He? He helped us treat our wounds and cleared the nearby monsters, and then continued to the east? Left... May I ask, when will the rescue team..."
Chu Xiuyan looked at the sky. The system reported noon. "It should take another two hours or so."
The other party's nervous expression relaxed, "That's great, thank you, thank you..."
Chu Xiuyan continued to walk eastward and was not far from the Lion Boss's location mark.
Soon, the system issued an alarm.
[Ahead? There are traces of fighting, be careful.]
Chu Xiuyan jumped onto a tree branch and looked around at the area ahead from above.
Trees within a radius of hundreds of miles fell down and broke, and the ground was full of holes and a mess. It was obvious that it had experienced a very horrific battle.
Chu Xiuyan's gaze paused slightly.
Not far away, beside a tree stump, there was a short cloaked man lying on the ground. Dry blood-red vines extended from under his wide sleeves. There was a bloody hole in his chest, and there was no trace of his heart.
Chu Xiuyan walked over quietly and lifted the hood with a branch to see the other person's identity.
The alien team led by the bartender who intercepted the Tianxu team, and the old man who could turn into a tentacle monster.
The system suddenly said: [On the right, five hundred meters, there are two more. ]
Following the system's prompt, I went over to check and found that it was a merchant and a heavy knight.
In other words, among the six-member team of Inhumans, all the A-level ones are dead.
Only the S-class bartender, the socially anxious guy, and the red-haired lady were left.
"This attack method is very similar to that of the Lion Boss. In other words, the bartenders chose to evacuate after the mission failed, but ran into the Lion Boss who came to rescue and search, and the two sides engaged in a fierce battle."
After searching around, I found a mission bracelet stained with blood.
Chu Xiuyan folded his arms and sighed: "Poor Boss Lion, you have suffered so many disasters."
System: [The person might not be dead yet. ]
"The bracelet? If it's lost, where can I find it?"
He? After a pause, [Dear Daddy~]
Just as the voice fell, before he could wait? The system reminded him, Chu Xiuyan reacted very quickly, tapped his toes, and instantly took a few steps back. The next second, two sharp long arrows appeared on the spot, and the tails were still buzzing.
"Interesting. Let's make a bet. Who's the bartender, the socially anxious guy, or the red-haired lady?"
System: [Gambling is prohibited in youth comics. I don’t gamble anyway. It harms the health of young people.]
[As for our hot-blooded comics, I think they are already 21+. 】
Chu Xiuyan leaned down, turned his wrist, and a sharp scarlet sword fell into his palm. He fixed his eyes on the dark forest where the arrows were coming from, and smiled brightly.
"Seniors, are you playing hide-and-seek with me? Be careful, don't let me find you~"
After saying that, the whole person turned into a shadow and rushed into the dark forest.
Just as he was about to thrust the blood sword in his hand, he suddenly met a young face, with tearful eyes filled with panic and fear.
Looks like? Only seven/eight years old, a girl, with long light brown hair, wearing thin clothes that are totally unsuitable for winter, and scarlet blood crystals scattered all over her bare/exposed arms.
Chu Xiuyan shifted his sight and saw a little boy coming out of the bushes a few meters away. He looked anxious and frightened. He was also young, wearing thin clothes. There were some blood crystals on his thin arms, and there were even bruises and needle marks on his wrists.
There was also slight movement in the trees on the left.
System: [Host?!]
The blood sword in Chu Xiuyan's hand turned into tiny pieces of blood crystals when it landed on the girl's head, and then he? He slapped the girl's head, causing her to lose her balance and stagger to the ground.
His tone was cheerful: "I told you to play hide-and-seek, but you're still standing there stupidly - idiot! I found the first one!"
"The second one!"
He? Just picked up? the boy in the bushes and threw him towards the surprised girl.
Then his eyes met the treetops on the left and he turned his wrist and walked towards them step by step with great momentum.
"The third one!"
"Woooooa ...
A crying boy fell from a tree? He was crying and holding his head, shaking.
"Evil Ghost-sama, please don't? Eat me, wuwuwu!"
Chu Xiuyan: [Oh wow, I have a new title. ]
System: [So, may I ask, do you know how to comfort a child who was frightened by you? ]
Chu Xiuyan was silent: […I can cry with them.]
