As night fell, sporadic fires began to burn outside Zhiyi City.
Xiao Jingzhou was holding the learning machine and saw a window pop up on it.
Battery too low?
What is electricity?
He only knew that in the upper right corner, there was a small grid that gradually faded away.
Now it has changed from green to red.
He reached out and clicked to confirm, and the lamb in the learning machine was still talking.
The next moment, the screen went completely black.
What's going on?
He reached out and poked at the screen.
...
...
Could it be that the book that Miss Jiang sent was damaged by him?
Thinking of this, Xiao Jingzhou immediately put down his learning machine and wrote a letter to Jiang Zhenyu.
…
21st century.
Jiang Zhenyu stayed up all night, sleeping from day to night, but still felt tired, as if his body had been drained of energy.
She took out a bottle of ice water from the refrigerator and took a few sips before she felt sober.
She walked into the living room carrying the water and saw a learning machine on the coffee table and a letter in a wooden bowl.
[I am very sorry, Jingzhou seems to have damaged the book the girl gave him.
I wonder if this book can be repaired? 】
broken?
Did you knock? Touched?
Jiang Zhenyu pressed the power button and found that the battery level had dropped to 0.
It turned out that there was no electricity.
She took out a USB charger and charged the learning machine.
Only then did he write a letter back to Xiao Jingzhou, telling him that the learning machine was out of battery, not broken.
[Fortunately, it’s not broken.] 】
Jiang Zhenyu remembered that Xiao Jingzhou said that they would reach the place of exile in the next two days, but he didn't know what the situation was now?
[We will enter the city tomorrow.] 】
Very good!
Xiao Jingzhou and his companions finally arrived.
This way you can receive the goods openly.
During the day, she was so busy delivering food that she completely forgot to ask about Gu Zhenbei's situation and wrote another letter to him.
[Miss Lao is worried about my uncle, he is safe and sound.] Tomorrow is autumn, and the prophecy the girl saw before should be rewritten. 】
Jiang Zhenyu was very happy to know that Gu Zhenbei was fine.
She can be said to have saved a generation of heroes!
…
"Your Highness, what did the immortal say about the Heavenly Book?"
When Lu Chen learned that the Heavenly Book was broken, his heart almost burst out of his throat.
Xiao Jingzhou put away the letter and said calmly: "The god said that it is out of power. We can continue to use it after charging it."
He didn't know what no power meant, but he could vaguely guess that it was a problem with the small grid.
The fewer small grids there are, or even if they turn red, it means there is no power!
Lu Chen didn't understand what was going on, and when he heard these words, he automatically understood that the Heavenly Book needed immortal energy before it could continue to be used!
The people gathered around the fire, looking at the dark city walls in the distance, all felt depressed.
Gu Zhenbei saw the depressed crowd and encouraged them:
"We have gone through so much hardship to reach Zhiyi City, and we have the gods protecting us along the way. Why should we be afraid of this?"
These words instantly resonated with everyone.
"We have the gods' blessing, everything can be solved!"
“Yes, yes, yes!”
"Maybe after we enter the city, we can settle down!"
Zhang Da and others were far away, and when they occasionally heard the word "immortal", they sneered and thought that Gu Zhenbei was deliberately being mysterious.
The next morning, it was dawn.
The group hurried on their journey.
Xiao Jingzhou ordered his men to cover their entire heads and faces, leaving only their eyes exposed.
after all.
People who have been hungry for a long time have protruding cheekbones, sunken cheeks, and dull eyes.
They had no shortage of food along the way, and some of them even gained weight.
Only by hiding can you avoid being discovered.
Zhou Wu led a few people into the city to explore the way, and Lu Chen followed closely behind.
Soon, Lu Chen ran out of Zhiyi City.
“Your Highness, the situation in Zhiyi City is not good, and no one from Ximen has survived.
Zhou Wu led his men towards the city, and his subordinates came specially to report the news. ”
After hearing Lu Chen's words, everyone began to feel uneasy again.
Xiao Jingzhou didn't want to cause confusion, so he immediately ordered, "Enter the city!"
As soon as he stepped his right foot into the city gate, he smelled a strange smell.
Lu Chen whispered in his ear: "I hope Your Highness is mentally prepared."
The group entered the west gate of Zhiyi City.
The street stalls were empty, the shops were closed, and the scene was very depressed.
There were pieces of yellowed white cloth on the ground on both sides of the street.
The skinny and dark hands or feet hung limply outside the white cloth.
Flies were hovering over the white cloth, and a foul smell of decay assaulted everyone's nostrils.
Looking at the corpses all over the street, it was like walking into a mass grave.
Even though everyone was mentally prepared, they still felt their hair stand on end at the shocking scene before them.
A few meters ahead, I saw a rotting corpse under the scorching sun, with flies crawling all over it, which made my scalp tingle.
Going further in, there was no white cloth covering the bodies, and the bodies were dumped casually on the street.
When I reached a fork in the road, a frightened voice suddenly sounded behind me.
"Look, what that is!"
When everyone heard the sound and looked, they saw a mountain of corpses as high as a person on the fork in the road!
"This is not Zhiyi City, it's clearly a dead city!"
Those who died earlier still had a piece of white cloth, but those who died later didn’t even have a piece of cloth and were just thrown on the street.
I think it was the people behind who didn’t even have the strength to bury the bodies. You can imagine what the situation was like in the city.
Think about this.
The group of people had worried looks on their faces, but they still walked in.
Zhang Da endured for a long time, but still couldn't help but vomit.
He hadn't eaten for a long time and almost vomited out his bile.
The group walked to the next street corner.
A few emaciated and skinny people were wandering on the dilapidated streets.
There were many people lying on both sides of the street. At a glance, they all had thin cheeks, protruding cheekbones, and dry and pale mouths.
Xiao Jingzhou led his men to the streets. The wandering people seemed unaware, their eyes were empty like wandering ghosts.
A commoner stepped on someone and accidentally tripped.
The person who was stepped on lay motionless on the ground with his mouth open, and looked as if he was in extreme pain before dying.
And there are quite a few people like this on this street!
The scene of the living and the dead coexisting together still shocked everyone.
Lu Chen asked fearfully, "Your Highness, is this really a city?"
I'm afraid the hell is just like this!
Xiao Jingzhou's frown has never relaxed since he entered the city.
He thought about the tragic situation he would face after entering the city.
I just didn’t expect that the situation of refugees in Zhiyi City would be more difficult than that of the refugees in the small town!
At that time, Zhou Wu came with a few people.
He had just vomited and his face didn't look good.
"Your Highness, the people on this street are all like what you see before you."
"I took some people to the government office, but unfortunately the door was closed and no one answered my calls."
Zhou Wu brought back two pieces of news, neither of which was good.
Everyone's mood sank even further.
Xiao Jingzhou asked, "Where is the place where the officers are escorting the prisoners?"
Zhou Wu said: "It's a street behind the government office. I'll lead the way!"
The group walked two streets and arrived at a row of houses.
Zhou Wu picked up the big knife, raised his hand and chopped towards the gate, and the copper lock fell to the ground with a clang.
Open the door.
A group of people walked into the yard, and dead branches and leaves were scattered all over the ground.
Clothes, shoes, socks, and even pots and pans were scattered around the yard.
Walking into the yard, I saw the door of the house was open and chairs were scattered on the ground, obviously it had been robbed.
Lu Chen's eyes widened: "If even the government's territory is so rampant, how chaotic will Zhiyi City be?"
