Now, Poyang Ze was very big. Its length from north to south had increased to more than two hundred kilometers, and its width from east to west had reached more than one hundred kilometers. There were shoals filled with ice and snow everywhere. The surface of the lake was filled with white mist. Coupled with the elegant water monsters, it looked like a fairy sword in the human world.
Of course, if there were no stranded ships and collapsed buildings in the distance.
When Yan Ge and the others found one of the cultivation propagator's contact points, it was already the time when the hazy shimmer disappeared, and it was already dark.
The contact point was set up in a village that had been abandoned for who knew how many years. Only the two-story farmhouse and the tractor that had been dismantled in front of the door could still struggle to prove that there might have been people, dogs, and fields here.
Twenty years of destruction was enough to show the fragility of modern civilization. When Chu Yunsheng picked up a mobile phone from a remote corner of the farmhouse that had more than ten big holes, Yuan Xuejian's beautiful eyes were wide open in curiosity.
However, her surprise did not stop there. Then Chu Yunsheng quickly found a house that seemed to be once a rich family. For him, it was not too difficult, because there was a rusty car parked outside the door. If he looked carefully, he might be able to vaguely see the logo of Volkswagen.
Yuan Xuejian followed Chu Yunsheng from the beginning to the end. She was surprised to find that Chu Yunsheng seemed to be very familiar with the things from the distant age of light. Perhaps it was because of his age, but it was very rare for people to live to his age.
In fact, Chu Yunsheng came here to find a mirror. It was not a big deal. There was nothing in this house that could be used to eat or warm the house. However, there was still a mirror that was useless, although it was broken.
Wiping off the thick layer of dust on it, Chu Yunsheng looked at the old face reflected in the mirror. He smiled and put it aside. Then he found some simple tools, boiled some hot water, and washed the bathtub. After that, he drove away Yuan Xuejian who was following him like a tail and soaked himself in the hot water.
The cultivation propagator's "meeting" was still two days later, and the seventh nerve-like line had not fully recovered yet. Chu Yunsheng actually had a lot of time now. In addition to cultivating, he suddenly felt that he should clean himself up. Since he came out of the zero-dimensional space, he had not washed his face even once.
It wasn't that he was sloppy. During this period of time, he hadn't thought about this at all.
From the storage talisman, he took out the "soap" that he bought from Shu Du city and washed himself thoroughly from head to toe. Then he used a sharp knife that was made from a monster's shell to shave his beard and nails. Finally, he put on a new set of clothes and stood in front of the broken mirror. He felt that he didn't need to absorb life force, but he still looked a few years younger.
When he opened the broken door and came out again, Yuan Xuejian couldn't help but smile in surprise. She had to admit that her smile was very beautiful, especially her white teeth. Unfortunately, it didn't attract Chu Yunsheng's attention. It made her a little confused. She even suspected that Chu Yunsheng was not a man.
In fact, if she knew that although Chu Yunsheng was just an ordinary office worker in the age of light, not to mention that he had met Lin Shuiyao, who claimed to be a model instead of an actress, just the Ice Race, which was his mortal enemy, was enough to make him feel numb. Otherwise, she would not be so confused.
"Where are the others?" Chu Yunsheng looked around under the light of the torch. He found that only Yuan Xuejian was there. Yan Ge and other people were nowhere to be seen.
"They have gone to exchange cultivation techniques. Naturally, the loose cultivators would not let go of such an opportunity." Yuan Xuejian said absent-mindedly while looking at Chu Yunsheng's new clothes. No one knew what she was thinking about.
"Why didn't you go?" Chu Yunsheng suddenly realized another problem. He didn't wait for Yuan Xuejian to answer and said, "I forgot to ask you, what are your plans for the future?"
Yuan Xuejian was "kidnapped" by him from the fortress. From a certain point of view, it was him who suddenly changed Yuan Xuejian's original life trajectory. However, Chu Yunsheng did not plan to keep her with him all the time. If it was proven that she was related to Jing Tian, it would be a different story. But now, apart from the "fake" grandfather-granddaughter relationship, they were actually a pair of strangers.
"I …" Yuan Xuejian's face suddenly became gloomy. After a while, she recovered and said with a forced smile, "In fact, it is not a bad thing to be a wandering martial artist. At least, I can travel around. Maybe one day, I will lose my life because of this. But it is still better than being sent around like a toy."
Chu Yunsheng nodded his head and did not say anything. However, a trace of disappointment flashed across Yuan Xuejian's eyes. It was not that she was interested in Chu Yunsheng or Yu Hanwu. But from the simplest point of view, following a mysterious Yuan Tian stage three martial artist who could easily kill a whole fortress was much safer.
She was still at the age of dreaming. Sometimes, she would imagine that the hero in the white cloud armor would be like what she had heard. One day, he would be like the most powerful man in the world in the Yellow Mountain, wearing a shining armor and a gorgeous battle suit, stepping on insects and snowflakes to take her away.
But she didn't know that Chu Yunsheng was not a fortress, he was simply a deep-water bomb!
Of course, Chu Yunsheng didn't have the energy to study a girl's psychology. So he left Yuan Xuejian and went straight to an empty room to continue his boring and mechanical cultivation.
He had other plans for Yuan Xuejian, but it was still too early to talk about it. After all, he was the one who caused this. So he planned to make arrangements after he went to the Zhiwu forest. If Xiao Chuan and the others were still trustworthy, then he would leave her there. If they had also changed, then there was nothing he could do.

While Chu Yunsheng was waiting and cultivating in Poyang Ze, a holographic video had already caused an uproar.
In a round white command building, a man with a gloomy face watched the video over and over again. Every detail, every movement, and even the pronunciation of every word of the person in the video were extracted and analyzed by the scientists. They compared the data day and night. Reports piled up on his desk.
At the same time, several core people who were dealing with important tasks outside were extremely surprised to receive an urgent recall. So they quickly flew back.
The gloomy man rubbed his sore eyes. He had been watching this video for three days and three nights.
Picking up a cup of hot water, he stood up and walked to the smooth, transparent window. Overlooking the entire city under his rule, his eyes were deep and filled with a cold light.
After a while, he walked back and pressed the communication device. Three beams of faint green light intersected in the air, showing the holographic image of a woman in a top-secret uniform.
"Is it all done?" the man said lightly without any expression.
"There are more than a thousand people left in the fortress. All of them have been destroyed. No one is alive!" The woman replied coldly, as if there were only more than a thousand ants, not more than a thousand people.
"I will send you the information about that woman. From now on, monitor her father's fort 24 hours a day. Once you find any trace of her, report to me immediately. I will give you the highest authority to report to me at any time!" The man suddenly increased his tone and said in a deep voice.
"I understand. Also, I need instructions. If that person appears together with her, what should I do?" the woman still said coldly.
"I have my own arrangements. You just need to complete your task. Go!" the man said coldly.
"Yes." The woman solemnly performed a military salute.
The gloomy man immediately turned off the communication device and then adjusted to another frequency band. The three-dimensional image of a middle-aged man immediately appeared.
"I am very disappointed." The gloomy man scolded with a cold expression.
"There was an accident on the way and they intervened. In order to avoid leaking the top secret, I had to pretend to retreat." The middle-aged man explained.
"I don't want to listen to any explanation. Within three days, you must find the target and confirm his identity." The gloomy man raised his voice and said firmly.
"Yes! I have a new clue! "The middle-aged man immediately said.
The gloomy man didn't look at him anymore. He directly turned off the communication device and turned on another red device. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Let the team go!"
