【A13-75.3-H53】
These are spatial coordinates, a common encryption method used by Execution Blade.
After breaking down and cracking the code, the true target coordinates can be obtained.
"It's around here. I'll go check the north side, and Deacon Xu, go check the south side. If you find anything, don't act on your own; contact me first."
"yes."
After flying on a sword for more than an hour, we arrived at a remote mountain village in the western part of the Eastern Region.
Su Cheng lit a cigarette, and then he and Xu Zhanfeng went their separate ways.
This was originally Cheng Liang's job, but the calamity came earlier than expected. Su Cheng knew very well that Cheng Liang was clearly not yet capable of fighting against this calamity.
Twenty years too early.
If he were still alone, he certainly wouldn't bother with such trivial matters.
But he is no longer alone; this is the world he lives in with his disciples...
Su Cheng shook his head, trying to stop thinking about these useless things.
"Heh, I'm really good at making excuses for myself..."
Walking towards the center of the village, it was clear that there were no living people left in this small village.
The miasma obscures vision and contains toxins that can paralyze the nerves; most people will be poisoned within fifteen minutes.
Within this poisonous fog, there were also some [Apostles] who had escaped. They did not need to eat, nor did they know if they had any thoughts; they only pursued the sole desire for killing.
"careful!"
Just as Su Cheng was about to step into the village, someone grabbed his sleeve and threw him three or four meters away...
Suzhou looked toward the newcomer...
It was none other than the reborn villain's eldest disciple.
"Sect Leader Su, this miasma is poisonous. How can we enter without any protection?"
Chu Youwei stood in front of Su Cheng like this, like a wife complaining that her husband didn't bring her anything after get off work, as if she was disappointed in him!
While Su Cheng was surprised, he pretended not to know anything, thinking to himself that he was indeed his SSR, and was quite interesting!
"Is that so? Thank you for your help, Miss Chu. Did you also notice the anomaly here?"
"Me? What does the anomaly have to do with me? I'm here to protect you, that's why I saved your life, you'd better remember this life-saving grace!"
Su Cheng chuckled inwardly; this guy really does know a lot!
"That's natural."
After saying this, Su Cheng stopped talking and then prepared to enter the village again.
Chu Youwei tugged at Su Cheng's sleeve and pulled him back, saying with a serious expression, "No, I already said it's poisonous, why are you still going in?"
Su Cheng originally planned to use a magic weapon to dispel the poisonous fog, but now he was in no hurry and wanted to see what else Chu Youwei knew.
Watch as Chu Youwei slowly tiptoed and used her fragrant silk scarf as a mask to tie over Su Cheng's face...
Will this even work?
"It's useful, but not much. If you leave it on for too long, you'll still get poisoned. But I have some pills. This is a breath-holding pill. With this, I won't be afraid of poison gas."
Su Cheng knew about this; it wasn't some powerful elixir, usually used for diving or feigning death.
After eating, lying on the ground, as long as you don't move around, is the same as being dead.
Seeing that Chu Youwei poured two pills into Su Cheng's palm, and then ate two herself, they went into the village together.
Under the thick fog, visibility was only about ten meters in radius. Su Cheng guessed what soft thing it was after walking a few steps.
"It's been about seven or eight days."
Su Cheng squatted down and examined the corpse, which was only half a body remaining. Such a gruesome sight was not uncommon; it was a common occurrence in the village.
Chu Youwei wasn't surprised to see the corpse, and neither was Su Cheng.
Both of them were the same; even without entering, they could roughly guess what the village looked like.
"Most people are brutally murdered after they have lost consciousness and are in a coma, so they don't suffer."
Chu Youwei said that compared to the apocalypse she had witnessed, these corpses were nothing more than a grain of sand in the desert.
The villagers of Sucheng carefully searched the village but found no trace of the Apostle, nor any survivors.
“Look at this corpse. There are obvious bite marks on the wounds, as if it was attacked by a wild beast.”
"Hmm, there are scratch marks on the walls here, so the killer must have been quite large."
Su Cheng nodded: "If that's the case, the murderer will most likely have left traces when he left."
On the broken wall, the wide intervals between the arm-length scratches can also provide evidence of the killer's physique.
It's a reverse deduction; Su Cheng and Chu Youwei could probably guess what was responsible for the crime, but at this moment, they both took on the role of actors.
Chu Youwei pondered how to naturally guide her master, while Su Cheng calculated how much Chu Youwei actually knew.
The two of them tacitly played the role of detectives, neither of them wanting to be the first to speak out. They both knew that if they showed too much, they might arouse the other's suspicion.
It seems that neither of them wants to be pushed away by the other, nor does the other want to maintain a distance, so they deliberately maintain a suitable distance.
Sometimes close, sometimes distant; caring but not ambiguous; valuing but not pressuring.
Following the trail left by the "murderer" deeper into the area, Chu Youwei casually asked a question.
"Sect Leader Su, you seem to have a very strong ability to accept new things?"
"You seem to know me very well?" Su Cheng was never the type to passively take a beating, but he rarely confronted women. In general, Xiao Ai was responsible for handling such matters.
"I know them fairly well. The apprenticeship ceremony is coming up in a few days, and I have some understanding of all the sects."
