Outbreak of 32

  Xiao Qingzhu's action was very swift, just on the second day after Du Siling finished the phone call. All employees of Haoheng were taken out in the name of autumn outing, including family members living in the employee dormitory.

  The huge factory building was empty and deserted, with no one left behind, not even a security guard or the last caretaker.

  Du Kongyang gave Du Siling a dagger named Leng Dian, said to be an ancient treasure sword, possessing majestic positive energy, able to annihilate evil creatures like withering grass.

  But the little guy didn't know how to get more and more restless. After Du Sulin took her to the amusement park, she had to stay by Du Sulin's side at all times.

  That night, Duslin stood at the highest point of the Deep River, gazing out. The sky was shrouded in a thick, black mist that couldn't be dispersed by the faint golden light surrounding it. The little creature transformed into a crystal dragon and circled above Duslin's head.

  As if it were there and yet not there, Duslin seemed to hear a howling sound, like the cry of a wolf but with an eerie undertone.

  Du Kongyang expended his energy to set up a large formation around Haicheng, blocking the evil spirit from escaping.

  "Tomorrow you follow your aunt and leave Shen River, got it?" Du Siling said with narrowed eyes to the little guy.

  The petite crystal dragon nodded obediently and followed Du Sulin's gaze towards Huang Cheng. Because she was facing away from Du Sulin, he couldn't see her eyes, which held a mix of reluctance and determination.

  The little girl didn't have a household registration, so Du Siyan pulled some strings and got one done for her as quickly as possible.

  Du Qinglan, her name is under Du Shilin's household registration. Relationship: mother and daughter.

  Until late at night, Du Sulin returned to her room. The dim yellow light drove away some of the cold outside for her.

  October has arrived, an October in the north, and the nights are very cold.

  As usual, Xiao Qingzhu called, and naturally, they couldn't avoid a long conversation. After hanging up the phone, Du Siling threw herself onto the bed. The little guy lay beside her, his plump little hands playing with her scattered black hair, his bright eyes staring at Du Siling without wanting to leave even a bit.

  "I know you have a lot to say." Du Sulin tilted his head, facing the little guy with a calm tone as if talking to an old friend.

  One big and one small, facing each other like this, four eyes staring at each other.

  "If it's the dragon language, can you express your meaning now?" Du Slin stretched out his hand and pinched the little guy's cheek, smiling.

  Her physical body is gone, leaving behind an incomplete dragon soul. Perhaps the small creature in front of her, like a porcelain doll, is the last dragon in the world. Due to their shared heritage, the affection from her soul cannot be erased. For so many years, she was alone, living in endless loneliness as a child, it's heartbreaking just thinking about it.

  "Hmm." The little girl's eyes blinked, and even she didn't know the answer to Du Sulin's question. For a moment, she was bewildered, stunned in place without reacting.

  She was able to understand human intentions because she had possessed spiritual wisdom for many years, and during the days of her oppression, she knew everything that happened outside. After a long time, she could also understand the language of humans.

  As for the dragon tribe, she had never seen them. From distant memories, there was only a heaven-shaking and earth-splitting dragon's roar, filled with sorrow and anger.

  "Alright, don't think too much, go to sleep." Du Sulin saw the little guy's vacant eyes when he was dazed and his heart tightened, softly coaxing.

  "Hmm." The little guy's wandering thoughts were brought back to reality by Du Sulin's voice, her eyes suddenly closed, and she fell asleep listening.

  Du Sulin, such a simple and kind child, should grow up happily like normal children, shouldn't have to suffer so much. Just thinking this, the little guy wrapped his arms and legs around Du Sulin's neck, then revealed a smile, not forgetting to drool with the characteristic clear saliva of children.

  Douslin's smile at the corner of her mouth never faded. She turned sideways, hugged the little guy, and fell asleep unknowingly.

  The next day, Du Sulin was awakened by the urgent knocking on the door by Du Kongyang. Du Kongyang told Du Sulin with anxious and worried eyes that the answer had been found, and Haicheng's corpse had exploded.

  The specific time is not certain, maybe it was when Duslin fell asleep, or maybe just now. A large group of zombies are impacting the great array of Huangcheng. Fortunately, the formation was laid out in advance and temporarily sealed, otherwise the consequences would be unthinkable.

  While Haoheng was in a relatively remote suburb, and because of the surrounding array, people nearby didn't know what happened inside.

  The cycle of yin and yang has a good place where it can isolate the mortal's line of sight, making people think that there is nothing in Huāng Chéng.

  From ancient times to the present, there have been many definitions of zombies. In "The Great Thousand Record", it was mentioned that a zombie has stiff limbs, its head does not hang down, its eyes do not slant, its legs are not separated, and its body does not rot.

  There are various definitions, some true and some false. To summarize in simple terms, after a corpse is buried for hundreds of years, it can continuously absorb yang energy underground and be reborn by borrowing the vital energy of humans. After rebirth, they lose their memories from their past life and become extremely powerful, which is what people commonly refer to as a zombie. However, there are also a few cases where, due to strong attachments in life and unwillingness to part with their body at death, the soul remains attached to the body, causing it to become a leader among zombies after transformation, known as an "xiānguǐ" or "flying zombie". It is said that xiānguǐ can swallow clouds and kill dragons, moving about like the wind.

  The ferocity of a zombie can be judged by the color of its pupils, ranging from high to low: red, green, yellow, blue, white and black. This is for sixth-level and below zombies. Above sixth level are the roaming corpse, the lurking corpse, and the legendary unrotten bone. If flying zombies at the sixth level are considered the kings among zombies, then roaming corpses and lurking corpses above the sixth level are the emperors among zombies. As for the unrotten bones, they should be mythical creatures.

  What Du Sulin is thinking now is just hoping that in the group of zombies of Huanghai, there are no legendary untransformed bones. Otherwise, it would be too scary.

  "Go, go quickly!" She made a swift decision, turned around and went back into the house to pack her luggage.

  "Uh." The little guy was picked up by Du Si Lin while he was still asleep, and when he opened his sleepy eyes, what entered his vision was Du Si Lin's furrowed brow. He stretched out his hand to smooth out the wrinkles, but was instead stuffed into Du Kong Yang's arms.

  "Remember, listen." Duslin said after finishing this sentence, and then raised his head to meet Du Kongyang's eyes.

  "Tai Guang......" Du Kong Yang opened his mouth, her heart wanted to stay, but she knew she had to leave. Because her spiritual power was not as strong as Du Si Lin's, and when she encountered Huang Jiang, she would be very hard-pressed. "Come back alive." She finally only said this one sentence.

  "Hmm." Duslin opened his arms and pulled both of them into a hug. If I'm lucky, I'll make it back alive. She said silently in her heart.

  ……

  As soon as Du Sulin arrived near Huan Cheng, she heard a crisp metallic collision sound.

  Haocheng was alone nearby, Du Sulin turned over with his hands behind his back, and three thousand green silk fluttered in the gentle breeze.

  It was just 6:00 in the morning. She wanted to call Xiao Qingzhu, listen to this woman's voice, but finally endured it. Because everything had to be hidden from Xiao Qingzhu. So she only sent a good morning message to her.

  Maybe this morning, will be the last time in his life that Du Si Lin says "good morning" to Xiao Qing Zhu.

  Perhaps from the moment Du Sulin stepped into Huan Cheng's world, there was no longer her, no longer Du Sulin.

  Golden light surged, Du Sulin plunged into the golden light.

  As soon as she entered, she was stared at by a group of zombies. Black and hollow eyes, sharp fangs, disheveled and dry hair scattered all over, clothes from various eras, they stepped closer to Du Siling step by step, baring their teeth and brandishing their claws.

  Du Sulin didn't stop, she just walked straight forward. She wanted to take a walk around this place, she wanted to know how many zombies were here.

  The spiritual power instantly transformed into a golden giant dragon, swirling around Du Sulin's body. Any zombie that approached was reduced to powder and dispersed in the air.

  All the way, Golden Dragon opened a bloodless road for Du Sulin, and the most numerous ones were the black-pupiled, lowest-ranking Hei Jiang.

  Or it's just a white fungus.

  They looked like they had no pupils, their entire eyes were as white as snow, making one's heart skip a beat.

  And the common point of all zombies is that they won't speak, only let out a howl like wolves, their eyes are empty and hollow, with only a thread of yearning for the vital energy on Du Sirin's body.

  "Ahhh——" As this sound echoed, more and more zombies began to surge towards Du Siling. Another wave of zombies formed a dense circle around Du Siling, with the innermost circle consisting of zombies with yellow eyes, shining like a bright sun against the snowy white sclera. The outer two circles were blue-eyed zombies, their calm eyes now gleaming with ferocity. A sea of white and black zombies gathered at the periphery, letting out wave after wave of menacing calls.

  Douslin stopped in her tracks, surrounded by a temporary absence of zombies due to the divine dragon's presence. However, she understood that an extremely intelligent zombie had appeared within the boundaries of Huacheng. Perhaps it was Fei Jiang, or maybe something even more powerful. It was using its unique zombie language to command all the other zombies, as evidenced by this encirclement, which clearly wasn't just a coincidence caused by the zombies in front of her.

  "Ahhh——" Another earth-shattering cry, the encirclement began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye. All the zombies rushed towards Du Siling simultaneously, their sharp fingernails swiping at him, and Du Siling leapt up, stepping on several zombies' heads to reach higher ground.

  "Dragon God!" Du Slin seized every second, her hand seals were extremely fast. "Disperse!" She shouted loudly, her eyes shone with golden light, and the soft green silk behind her flew up. The golden giant dragon turned into countless small dragons as soon as her voice fell, rushing towards the densely packed zombies below.

  Just then, Huang Zong also caught up with Du Si Lin's side.

  Step by step, fortunately, their moving speed was not fast. Du Sulin slightly squatted down, pulled out the dagger hidden in his boots, and actively charged towards that group of zombies!
