doomsday lamb

There is fire everywhere here.

Sparks in the smoke flew with the strong wind, igniting everything.

The air was filled with the stench of burnt carrion.

The lack of oxygen for breathing caused Hou Shan's eyes to turn black, his brain to feel dizzy, and his whole body to feel weak.

Hou Shan's heart was beating as fast as a drum, and his breathing became more rapid.

The smoke had already made the wet cloth dry and scorched.

The spare wet cloth was already dried in the clothes before I even took it out.

Hou Shan tore off his face towel and breathed in the smoky air.

He held the long knife in his hand, guarding against the special feeling that might appear at any time.

"Is there anyone else? Is there anyone alive?" Hou Shan shouted in the smoke.

No one answered, and the only thing that could answer him was the roar of the corpses in the distance.

After killing all the small group of corpses that caught up, the death squads paid an equally heavy price.

Hou Shan stood there with his sword in his hand. He could feel the corpses approaching, but he could no longer lift the sword.

"Well, in normal times, I would beat a hundred of you each!"

Even with his super endurance, Hou Shan was already at the end of his strength.

He can say a few harsh words, but he is no longer as brave as he was then.

"Hoo, ho, ho..."

At this time, every breath he took was so difficult.

The air he breathed in was rough and hot, as if it was going to set his insides on fire.

Hou Shan raised his head and made no move, as a gorilla rushed towards him impatiently.

Just when the gorilla's giant palm was about to hit Hou Shan's forehead, a long knife flew from the sky.

With a "swish" sound, the blade pierced the gorilla's palm, and then inserted it straight into its eye socket without losing force.

The gorilla fell to the ground suddenly, and a figure quickly approached.

Drawing the sword with one hand, he lowered his waist and kicked away a ghost monkey that was trying to sneak attack.

Then he swung his sword and slashed, cutting the seven or eight ordinary black corpses surrounding him into two halves.

The whole process only takes a few seconds, but it can be said to be completed in one go.

By the time Hou Shan came to his senses, this handsome young man with black hair and black clothes was already standing in front of him.

He held a knife in his hand, and his eyes were one part firm and one part forbearing.

A calm and solemn atmosphere filled the air, and Hou Shan felt a chill in his heart.

"Who are you?" Hou Shan asked in surprise.

"The person who came to save you." Lang Hua replied.

Tianbao also arrived at this time.

He opened the barrier and enveloped Hou Shan's mountain-like body.

The hot and bitter air becomes a gentle air flow after being purified by the barrier.

Cleansed by this air current, Hou Shan's breathing gradually stabilized.

Seeing Tianbao, Hou Shan was a little surprised for a while.

"Why are you here?"

"City Lord, everyone has arrived at the foot of the mountain safely. I'm back to pick you up."

Hou Shan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "Okay, it's good to arrive safely."

At this time, more and more black corpses appeared from the corners of the mountain steps.

Lang Hua took advantage of the situation to climb up the cliff, then jumped up in the air and slashed with all his strength towards the top of the cliff.

"Empty Blade Slash!"

Lang Hua somersaulted to the ground and stood in front of the two of them again.

"Click, click..."

After he landed, the sound of cracking could be heard from above the sky.

Big and small rocks fell from behind him.

First some gravel, then larger rocks.

In the end, the huge boulder that stretched across the sky actually split into pieces and fell into the crevices of the cliff.

The rubble was piled up into a stone slope three to four meters high, blocking the passage tightly.

There are corpses on the other side of Shipo, and living people on this side of Shipo.

"You go, I will leave this place to you." Lang Hua said at this time.

"Thank you for your kindness. Please, righteous man."

Hou Shan bowed his hand to him, and then quickly left with Tianbao's support.

After the two left, a somewhat nimble ghost monkey climbed over the boulder and attacked

Most of these ghost monkeys are of the third level, with flexible bodies and sharp finger claws, making it easy for them to cross the rocky slopes.

There were seven or eight of them in total, forming an arc and approaching Lang Hua step by step.

On the other hand, Lang Hua didn't move at all when he saw the ghost monkey coming.

The breeze blows and slowly disperses the smoke in the valley.

More than ten black shadows suddenly rushed out from behind Lang Hua.

It's like they appeared out of nowhere,

They had already killed the group of ghost monkey corpses before they had time to react.

The light of the sword was as fast as an phantom, and the valley was silent.

Compared with these silent killers, the group of ghost monkey corpses are no match at all.

…

Ten minutes later, the exhausted Hou Shan and Tianbao met others at the foot of the mountain.

Lin Xiao and others who escaped from Songlin Ridge, as well as the friendly troops of Langya City who met for the first time.

"City Lord Hou! Tianbao!"

"Captain Lin, it's great that you guys are okay."

Among the reinforcements in Langya City, only Duan Hei is not a new face.

"Adjutant Xiao Duan, thanks to you this time, otherwise we would have been dead or alive..."

"City Master Hou is so polite. That's why we came here."

Duan Hei signaled Luoyang to bring people to cover the flanks, and then said to Hou Shan and Lin Xiao:

"Now that everyone is here, let's set off quickly."

"Are you all here?" Hou Shan thought of the young man in black who was cut off from the back, and said hurriedly, "Brother Xiao Duan, there is still a righteous man in the mountain. If he hadn't come to save me, I would have died at the hands of the black corpse..."

Duan Hei smiled when he heard this and said: "That is our chief officer, Captain Lang Hua, the deputy lord of Langya City."

"That's what he meant. The area is not out of danger yet. Before leaving, my parents asked me to take you to a safe area first."

"That's...okay."

After reuniting with Hou Shan, Duan Hei immediately led the team to evacuate to the east of Huangshan Mountain in the north.

An hour and a half later, Lang Hua caught up with the large army in a valley outside the mountain.

From a distance, he saw two distinct groups of people resting on the grass.

One group of people were fully armed and neatly dressed, while the other group was ashen-faced, as black as if they had just been dug out of charcoal.

"Sir!" "Chief!"

Duan Hei and Luoyang shouted one after another.

By this time, Lin Shanshan was already awake, sat up from the stretcher, and looked much better.

After checking her injuries, Lang Hua began to discuss the next route with Hou Shan and Lin Xiao.

"City Lord Lang, where will your army go next?" Lin Xiao asked.

"Send Buddha to the west. I plan to send you to your destination first, and then take my people south to support you." Lang Hua said and looked at Hou Shan, "I wonder what you two have planned."

Lin Xiao said bluntly: "The Kong family has a stronghold a hundred miles east of here. I plan to take people back there for temporary repairs. City Lord Hou, what about you?"

"Me?" Hou Shan looked at some of the survivors in Songlin Ridge and couldn't help but sigh, "They have been following me for more than a year, from a few dozen people at the beginning to more than 10,000 people. If Captain Lin doesn't dislike it,

I plan to send them to your place to recuperate first. I will make plans after they recover."

After hearing this, Lin Xiao's eyes seemed to light up

She hurriedly said: "Welcome, welcome. In the end of the world, you and I are both members of the human race, and we should interact with each other."

Support each other.”

"What about you? City Lord Hou." Lang Hua asked at this time.

"After this experience, I have come to understand that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. I, Hou Shan, am not destined to be the local emperor, nor am I a handsome man who can lead an army. Perhaps the battlefield is the place that really suits me."

Hou Shan bowed his hands to the two of them again.

"City Lord Lang, I, Hou Shan, can never repay the kindness you have shown to the Kong family. This time when I go back, I want to shamelessly ask Captain Lin to help me find a position in the Southeast Corps. If we are destined to meet in the future, we will meet on the battlefield.

"

This last sentence was addressed to Lang Hua, and Lang Hua could only nod his head after hearing this.

Hou Shan declined Lang Hua's invitation, and finally chose to join the Kong family camp just like in his previous life.

This was something Lang Hua expected.

But for the invincible war king Hou Shan in his previous life, if Lang Hua said that he was not greedy, that would be absolutely false.

Warring King Houshan, Captain Xuefeng Lin Xiao...

If these two people hadn't died in the last ten years of the last life, they would have died.

In the later period, the Kong family's power in the East China Sea could last at least a year and a half.

Just today, when Lang Hua saw these two people, he understood that it was impossible for Langya City to take Hou Shan under his command.

Although providing help in times of need is worthy of gratitude, the friendship of sharing weal and woe is incomparable to others.

The Kong family mobilized a huge amount of manpower and material resources to rescue this small Songlinling base, which really gave Hou Shan a lot of face.

More than a dozen support troops rushed thousands of miles, regardless of the loss of supplies. Xuefeng's ace went deep alone, and captain Lin Xiao personally went into danger...

After this battle, Hou Shan must have devoted his life to serving the Kong family.

Although the Kong family succeeded in taking over Zhanwanghou Mountain this time, the price it spent was so high that even the new local tycoon Lang Hua couldn't help but be speechless.

"Mountain fires are ruthless. I wonder if the vegetation in Songlin Ridge will be able to recover next year?"

Looking at Beisonglin Ridge not far away, shrouded in gray smoke, Hou Shan couldn't help but sigh.

Lang Hua was also touched by his words.

"Sorry," Lang Hua said, "this is the only way I can think of to save you."

"City Master Lang, I don't blame you." Hou Shan shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "You can save our lives, which is already a great kindness. How dare you expect anything else."

Hou Shan looked at the smoke-covered mountaintop, imagining the mess it now looked like with scorched earth everywhere, and the fists in his hands gradually tightened.

He said: "If I, Hou Shan, can return here one day, I will take this mountain back from these monsters."

"It will definitely happen." Lang Hua comforted him and said, "The bones and blood of millions of black corpses will become the best fertilizer. In the coming year, there will be birds singing and flowers fragrant here."

At this time, Luoyang ran over with a communicator in his hand to report to Lang Hua.

"Chief, the satellite shows that there are a large number of black corpses approaching us near Beihuang Mountain. The command headquarters advises us to evacuate eastward immediately."

"Don't panic, everyone." Lin Xiao said at this time, "I have just contacted the defense area and have called for artillery support for us."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw streaks of red appear on the eastern horizon.

The whistling sound came from a distance, and a series of shells flew overhead, causing people to look up.

After the first round of corrections, a new round of shelling was about to begin.

Thousands of rockets covered the sky like dark clouds, coming from the east and falling to the west.

Their final target is the area with the densest concentration of black corpses in the remaining corpse tide in the North Huangshan Mountains.

The ground roared and shook, rocket launchers beat gongs and drums among the high mountains, and bursts of fireworks could still be seen until late at night.

For a long time to come, it will be the last trace left by human forces on this land.
