Chapter 253 Return to the Epidemic Area
Mou Laoyao seemed to have forgotten Zhou You and warmly invited him to the wedding.

He was sometimes in a trance, sometimes excited, and soon left Zhou You and the others behind, disappearing at the end of the street, crying and laughing like a madman.

Zhou You watched his back, thinking about a sentence that Mou Laoya had just mentioned casually.

"The bride's relatives are here too, let's have some fun together!"

The woman who was transformed by the ghost made up a background for herself that both her parents had died and she was alone. How could she have any relatives?
A madman would not lie. Since he said that, he must have seen something related to the enchantment, which made him mistakenly think it was a "relative".

Thinking of this, Zhou You narrowed his eyes and found a clue.

Could it be that Mou Laoyao has seen a mysterious creature near the epidemic area?

This old man is really lucky to be able to survive after seeing the evil creature.

"Young Master, I'll take you out first!"

Zhou You took Du Hua Youxing and Du He back along the same route and they reached the checkpoint in less than three hours.

The apprentices of Panshi Martial Arts School are still on duty and it is not time to change shifts yet.

"Doctor Hua, are you out?"

The Qi and blood disciples of Panshi Martial Arts School greeted Hua Youxing enthusiastically. Injuries are inevitable when learning martial arts, so the two sides are very familiar with each other.

Hua Youxing smiled and responded, "I will remember the favor you did me today."

The other party guarding this checkpoint has received a military order, and releasing people secretly involves certain risks.

The Qi and Blood disciple watched them leave and suddenly frowned. It seemed that Zhou You and Doctor Hua had a special relationship!

So amazing! Even the arrogant Dr. Hua fell in love with him!

"Master Zhou, after today, Du He and I will move to the capital city."

After walking for a while, it was quiet and deserted all around, so Hua Youxing spoke to Zhou You.

"I'm afraid Gongliang City will follow the same fate as Su City. We can't stay here any longer. Let's find a way to move away!"

"Just now in the epidemic area, I collected a high concentration of disease gas. The plague can no longer be eradicated on its own."

"Once the plague breaks out, even warriors will be hard to escape. It's extremely dangerous!"

"When there is plague, there is famine, and when there is famine, there is war."

"Gongliang City is almost finished."

These top-secret inside stories are highly credible coming from Hua Youxing's mouth.

The Yaowang Sect she belongs to is proficient in epidemic prevention and control. Even the entire Xingren Hall was moved away, which shows that the Gongliang City ship is about to sink.

Zhou You thought about the rumors he had heard recently.

Although the inner city was safe and sound, many families had moved away and a large number of houses were left vacant.

These families, who were either rich or noble, must have learned the news in advance and started jumping off the boat to survive.

Wang Jianxiong had made preparations a few years ago and sent Lu Qiang to the provincial capital to purchase properties and prepare for his future.

"Zhou You, why don't you come with me!"

Before leaving, Hua Youju was really reluctant to let him go and boldly extended an invitation.

Du He opened her mouth wide and said, "Young Master, you are too explicit. Women should be reserved!"
"Thank you, Young Master."

Zhou You smiled gently, "When I have time someday, I will definitely go to the city to find you."

Even after being apart for half a day, Hua Youxing still felt her face burning. Noticing Du He's strange look, she couldn't help but ask, "Did I look very embarrassed just now?"

"No, Young Master, I didn't see anything."

Du He puffed out his chest, his expression as serious as a soldier being inspected by a general.

It’s still the same level, it’s time to change shifts.

"Is it you?"

The students of Panshi Martial Arts School saw that the warrior who was changing shifts was wearing the training uniform of Tiefeng Martial Arts School.

It would be fine if it was any other martial arts school, but I didn't expect that the one who came was Tiefeng Martial Arts School, which strictly speaking is not "one of our own".

The Qi and Blood disciple who led the Tiefeng Martial Arts School also had the surname Bao. He asked angrily, "Why can't it be us?"

A conflict is about to happen...

Whoosh!
A subtle sound of breaking through the air was heard, and a dark shadow passed over everyone's heads. It looked like a large bird, or a bat that roamed at night. It was so light and thin that one would almost float away if one looked at it. A sharp-eyed apprentice of the Ao Quan shouted, "Is it a human?"

Mastiff boxing has the skill of improving eyesight, which requires a lot of talent. Not even one person out of a thousand can master it. This apprentice is the lucky one, as he managed to master it by accident.

In the pitch-dark night, he could thread a thread as thin as a hair through the eye of a needle without any error.

Others only saw a dark shadow, but he could clearly see that it was a person with extremely high martial arts skills flying by at high speed.

What about the speed?

The Mastiff apprentice whispered to the disciple surnamed Bao, "Is he about the same as the master?"

The owner of the hall is Bao Tiefeng, a real martial artist.

Although the voice was low, the scene was quiet and everyone heard it clearly.

What? The person who just broke in was a martial artist?

Disciple Bao glared at him and said, "Shut up, don't speak nonsense. What did you see?"

“Obviously…”

The Mastiff Fist apprentice was still trying to figure out what was happening, but when he noticed the gloating looks on the faces of the people from the Panshi Martial Arts School, he suddenly came to his senses and changed shifts.

Now Tiefeng Martial Arts School is guarding the checkpoint. If a mysterious martial artist breaks into the epidemic area, the responsibility will fall on them.

Even the museum owner can't cover up this matter.

"…I am dazzled by my vision. It is just an ordinary flying bird."

The black shadow was naturally not a flying bird, but Zhou You who sneaked into the epidemic area.

After he sent Hua Youxing and Du He away, he turned around and transformed himself into Lu Zhigang, using his Qinggong skills to pass the checkpoint.

The defense line surrounding the epidemic area is an iron wall for ordinary people, but it is just a paper fence in front of him.

He jumped over, leaving the intrigues between the two martial arts schools behind, and the panel prompts echoed in his ears.

"Trial Project (three stars): Completed the rescue of people from the epidemic area, experience points +1500."

"Trial Project (Four Stars): Kill the Plague Ghost, in progress."

"Trial Project (Three Stars): Kill 10 Transformed Elves, progress 9/10."

Great, I went into the epidemic area a second time, not to save people, but to kill plague ghosts and evil spirits.

Ghosts are different from living people. The large-scale spread of plague and the extinction of humanity are actually good things for ghosts.

The epidemic area has become a paradise for evil spirits, which roam freely and eat people at will.

Perhaps influenced by their usual habits, these creatures avoid gatherings of people and only target solitary targets.

Zhou You just met up with Hua Youxing and had no chance to run into the enchanter.

Now that I have entered the epidemic area alone, the situation is completely different.

……

"Come here, buddy."

A man in the corner waved at Zhou You, "I have life-saving medicine, rice, vegetables and meat."

Food to fill hunger and medicine to treat diseases are good things that cannot be bought with real money in epidemic areas where supplies are scarce.

He waved sincerely, his upper body leaning out of the door, his lower body disappearing into the darkness behind the door.

"A mere illusion."

Zhou You waved his sleeves, a white shadow flashed, and with one swing back and forth, he smashed the man's head into pieces.

The true appearance of the white shadow was actually a flying hammer made from a martial artist's skull, with a chain woven with hair and tendons, which could be retracted and released freely.

Zhou You was promoted to the later stage of Qi and blood, and had no obstacles in practicing weapons, with complete hardware and software.

The weapon training method of this tiger-head hammer is not top-notch in Wang Jianxiong's hands, but it is perfectly suitable for Zhou You.

With just a simple move, the illusion of disguise that deceives passers-by is instantly destroyed.

A strong wind blew open the half-open door, revealing piles of white bones in the dark shadows, messy and towering like a pile of firewood.

The skin of the dead ghost's lower body had already burst. It was because he had eaten too much human flesh, and his stomach had stretched the camouflage of the human skin, so he simply showed only the upper body to deceive people.
