On the desolate land, the north wind blew past, and a cloud of gray smoke was rolled up.

The sky is covered by strange black clouds. It is not the kind of cloud generated by natural weather, but like the internal organs of living things, constantly wriggling, and spreading maliciousness to the covered area.

The malicious will condense into tangible black dust, falling from the clouds like snowflakes, but unlike real snowflakes, this black dust is a poison that is more deadly than strong acid.

Without the blessing of sacred power, ordinary people walking under this kind of black ash, I am afraid that they will soon be eroded and infected, and in the end, they will be turned into a floating soil.

The mutation started a year ago.

At that time, Yi Qing was still busy running because of the friction between humans and demons, and the integration of the two races was not smooth-so although the savior did not come to pick him up as agreed, he did not care too much.

Until one day, a meteor that was dazzlingly visible even in daylight pierced the sky, and finally fell on the emerald green field.

For a while, the inhabitants of this world were panicked, thinking that the invader who had only used a phantom two years ago and nearly crushed the two armies of humans and demons had finally begun to invade the world.

Only Yi Qing and a few people who knew the inside story disagreed with this, thinking it was just a coincidence.

After all, in their cognition, Xu Shenxing, who had saved the world and even tried to reconcile the two demons, couldn't do such a thing.

Investigators were sent from both sides to explore the mystery of the falling meteorite. The final content was very simple. Naturally, what fell from the sky was not a terrifying demon, but a huge, crystal clear crystal.

As a result, the facts tell them that things are not that simple.

A few days after the meteorite fell, with the emerald green field as the center, the entire world began to be infected by evil forces, and everything seemed to have changed.

The vegetation gradually withered, and the animals became crazy and full of aggressive desire.

Even humans (the demons) were not immune from this disaster, being dominated by the kind of unclear evil force.

If it's just like this, it's okay, it's just a different world version of Resident Evil at best. It's not a particularly troublesome situation for people like Yiqing and others who come from the earth and have been influenced by a large number of zombie films.

What really makes them feel helpless is not that humans have become walking corpses capable of attacking others, but that they have become like children’s graffiti, without a definite outline, as if they are a combination of countless bad lines, and even A monster whose flesh and blood and human form have been lost.

Mankind has no way to defeat the enemy.

No matter it is swords, arrows, fire, freezing, lightning... or even the full blow of the power of the demon king or the power of the brave, these things cannot be wiped out. It can only be a single monster that loses its outer contour. This kind of state that can be restored in only one day at most is not even "heavy damage" to these monsters.

This near-invincible power also caused a strange voice among human survivors: some survivors seem to think that humans (demon races) are not dead when they become like this, and they are considered to have evolved to a new stage. It is a right that all mankind should enjoy and cannot be avoided like a snake and scorpion.

These survivors formed a cult group and began to oppose the temporary government agencies formed by humans and demons in order to deal with the current situation. They stumbled everywhere... Fortunately, these people left the refuge on their own before they jumped, and were affected by the outside world. The power is infected into monsters, and according to the current situation, they become monsters and there is no difference between them...

With the passage of time, the recent situation of the temporary coalition government between humans and demons has become worse and worse.

Under Xia Xueyao’s leadership, it can be considered that the newly formed church is almost unable to suppress the evil forces from the outside world, and several survivors’ refuge materials have begun to run out, and large-scale famines are likely to strike at any time. .

The cloud of despair and destruction has shrouded everyone's heads.

For this reason, Yiqing and the others had to take some soldiers with written suicide notes to the outside world to find usable materials to maintain their expenses...

"Have you found anything useful?" Yi Qing asked as he looked at Lin Qian's team coming back from another direction.

"Nothing was found. The demonized beasts over there have been destroyed." Lin Qian sighed and slumped her shoulders, looking like she was in a bad mood: "What about you?"

In fact, it can't be said that there is nothing at all. Some of the soldiers behind Lin Qian are holding some foods such as bacon that can be preserved for a long time. It's just that compared to the entire asylum city, this thing is not even a drop in the bucket.

"It's the same on my side." Yi Qing looked serious. He took out an inverted triangle pendant from his pocket. The pendant exudes a brilliant white glow, but if you look closely, you will find that the pendant itself is like white jade. The texture, nearly two-thirds of it turned black: "The talisman can't hold it anymore, I can only wait for three teams for half an hour at most..."

"This time I returned to no avail." Lin Qian's mood worsened, and she kicked the little stone off the ground like an angry child.

"It's good luck to be able to go back all the way back."

Yi Qing smiled bitterly and comforted her.

Suddenly, the brave young man's face was stagnant, and he turned to face one direction and pulled out the long sword behind him.

His movements immediately touched the tight nerves of all the soldiers, and they pulled out their weapons one after another, even Lin Qian picked up the small staff.

After a while, in the direction where the visibility was quite low due to the black snow, several soldiers appeared. They were running towards this side, looking quite embarrassed.

"No..." Lin Qian tried to open up her perception. After feeling the embarrassing thing that was chasing them, she couldn't help swallowing, and there was a kind of fear or distress on her face. expression.

In the next moment, those things appeared in everyone's field of vision.

Those are creatures born after several humans were infected.

No, maybe it’s a bit inaccurate to describe them as creatures. They are monsters that are difficult to describe in words. They are like scribbles made by a person's letter pen. The whole body is made up of countless twisted and bent lines, and there is nothing specific about it. contour.

The monsters range from small, slightly larger than monkeys, to giants like moving villas.

Yi Qing quickly estimated the combat power ratio of the two sides in his heart, and then came to a conclusion.

There is no chance of winning.

"What are the guys in the third group doing!"

"The monster was actually brought here! Did they forget to go out for exercises!"

"Isn't this going to hurt us too!"

Some soldiers have begun to clamor and complain.

Yi Qing understood them very well. In fact, before he set off from the refuge city, the city defense officer had informed him: It is better to let the soldiers die in battle than to lead the monsters near the city.

This was agreed with the soldiers from the beginning.

The high salary and the abundant supply at this time of material shortage are for this moment.

However, everyone's consciousness is different, and it is not uncommon for situations like the third team. After all, not everyone can overcome the fear of death.

"All of them, ready to retreat! Lin Qian, leave it to you!"

Yi Qing said loudly, and he himself was about to rush in the direction of the third team.

"Idiot Yi Qing, what do you want to do!"

Lin Qian couldn't help being anxious, and grabbed Yi Qing's clothes.

"If you want other people to escape, someone must stay behind and block those things!" Yi Qing turned his head and said seriously.

As a brave, although he couldn't kill those things, he could still do it if he just blocked it.

It's just another matter whether you can come back round after blocking.

"It will die! I don't know that there is a Stage IV in there!" Lin Qian shook her head vigorously: "And if you become that kind of thing..."

"Don't worry, I'm different from others... The former brave ambassador Xiaohei seems to have left something on me. In short, compared to other people, I should be the least likely to be infected."

Although Xu Shenxing didn't reveal the "War God's protection" until the end, Yi Qing was not a fool. After training on the battlefield of another world for so long, he had already vaguely noticed the existence of the protection.

"But..."

Lin Qian wanted to say something, but Yi Qing's raised finger pressed her lips.

"The former Mr. Brave didn't come here to pick us up as agreed. I'm afraid he was delayed because of something similar. Since he chose to pass on this power to me, then I can't let him down." The boy turned towards Lin Qian. Gentle but firm, said: "These people will be handed over to you, and an appointment has been made. We must let them return to the city safely."

"...Hmm." Finally the girl nodded unwillingly, and left with the soldiers, but before leaving, she gave him a deep look as if she wanted to imprint his figure in her mind.

After watching the girl's figure disappear into the black wind and snow, Yi Qing smiled bitterly and said to herself: "Using her mind...I'm really bad."

But immediately his gaze became resolute, and he let the soldiers of the third team run past him. It is hard to say whether these guys can return to the refuge city alive, but at least there is still a chance.

Yi Qing glanced at her slightly trembling hand, facing the attacking monsters alone, taking a deep breath.

"In the name of the current brave Yi Qing, I will never let you hurt anyone again! Let me go!"
