"Then will you come back?" Lian Yi said, "Tell that box. I know you don't want to lie to the person in the box."
"Big Brother Shentan, why don't we stay?" Si Liren said.
There was fragrant smoked meat here. The thick slices of meat looked very greasy, but they didn't feel greasy at all. Instead, their mouths were filled with fragrance.
It wasn't that he wasn't strong enough, but that one's willpower had a huge advantage. If you wanted someone to hand over their subconscious, you had to be much stronger than them.
In the middle of the night, the old man Golden Corpse didn't look scary at all. In fact, he looked quite friendly.
Li Shentan turned around and said with a smile, "Why do you say that?"
If there was a chance, Li Shentan was willing to come back here after everything was over.
The last time he was so concerned about others was when he was helping Ren Xiaosu.
He took out a piece of paper and a pen, and seriously wrote down the precautions: When the garlic is dried, the fire must be low, and it must be flipped twice an hour for eight hours …
The warm-hearted Big Sister Lianhua almost said that she wanted to check Zhang Baogen's body.
"How about this, let's play a coin toss game. If it's heads, you let me go," Li Shentan said. "If it's tails, you win, and I stay."
Li Shentan frowned. "Looks like this has something to do with the Sacred Tinder Mountain that Grandpa mentioned before. That Sacred Mountain is probably a huge nanomachines production base. What else did you see after that, Baogen? "
"Big Brother Shentan," Zhang Baogen's eyes lit up. "I remember I accidentally entered a misty forest and then fainted. How did you find me?"
Li Shentan was stunned. He took out the silver coin from his pocket and flicked it high into the sky with his thumb. Lian Yi's gaze followed the silver coin.
This made the other men in the village envious.
Lian Yi thought about it and said, "No, if it's heads, I'll go with you. If it's tails, you stay."
However, Li Shentan knew better than anyone else that no one could be spared in this era. Someone had to do what needed to be done.
After spending a few months together, Lian Yi also had some understanding of Li Shentan.
At this moment, Si Liren was eating the preserved fruit that Big Sister Lianhua had brought over as she asked, "Big Brother Shentan, are we leaving now?"
Therefore, anyone with a brain wouldn't send troops here to die.
Originally, Li Shentan wanted to go to the south to watch the typhoon, but he ended up stopping here.
"The people who were being controlled didn't manage to catch up to me, so they turned and headed southwest. They weren't moving very fast, probably at the average walking speed of a normal person." Zhang Baogen said, "Many of them even wore out their shoes in order to chase after me, but they didn't even look at the soles of their feet. In the end, their feet were also worn out, leaving bloody footprints on the ground."
When Zhang Baogen saw that they were really going to leave, he immediately panicked. "Wait, Brother Shentan, give me a night to recover, I'll go with you."
The so-called miasma was the decaying gas produced by the leaves and animal corpses that had accumulated in the forest over the years.
Li Shentan sat next to him and fiddled with the fire pit. He said with a smile, "Grandpa really didn't train you for nothing. You look like you're living in a chaotic world now."
Even if everyone was a sharpshooter, each bullet would be equivalent to one life. Even if they ran out of bullets, there would still be more enemies to kill.
They did not have much luggage here. After Si Liren secretly stuffed a bunch of snacks into the metal box that carried Chen Wudi, she carried the box on her back.
"The place where you fainted isn't far from the Lian tribe's village. Someone controlled the silver corpse to gather herbs and brought you back." Li Shentan said with a smile, "And it seems like the other party wants to keep gathering herbs. They're harvesting Yin to replenish Yang, and Yang to replenish Yin."
In the past, it was Lianyi who visited this small building more often every day. But now, it was Big Sister Lianhua who would come here five or six times a day to deliver clean clothes and prepared food.
"You really were lying to me," Lianyi said.
"It's just like how I controlled the Li Consortium's people back then." Li Shentan said with a sigh, "Where did the vehicles that Grandpa sent out to investigate the Sacred Mountains go?"
Moreover, it was impossible for them to kill an enemy with a single shot.
Li Shentan would definitely not abduct the Lian tribe to leave with him just to increase his strength.
He still owed Ren Xiaosu a promise.
However, Old Master Golden Corpse, who was supposed to be standing at the entrance of the village, was already waiting for Li Shentan outside the wooden fence of the village.
Li Shentan paused for a moment, but he did not turn around to look behind him.
"That's true." Si Liren smiled happily.
During the second distillation of the liquor, he must …
Little Liren was sitting at the side with her back against the large metal box and eating snacks.
Zhang Baogen immediately shuddered. "Why? Are there still female ghosts in Xiuzhu Province?"
Si Liren watched from the side. She realized that it seemed like it had been a long time since Li Shentan had been so concerned about anything.
In just an instant, Li Shentan realized where the danger was. "I'm afraid that all the residents and refugees in the Central Plains are on their way to the Southwest and Northwest. How many people are there? Even if the Southwest and Northwest Army is at its peak and is willing to slaughter these civilians, they still can't stop them from moving forward, can they? "
"Little Liren and I will leave tonight." Li Shentan said, "Liren, let's go."
Li Shentan stood up. "Baogen, you stay here and have a good rest. What's going to happen next is no longer suitable for you to participate in."
Little Liren, who was eating pork jerky, was stunned. "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Li Shentan did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Why did you tell him? This has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't care about this."
Li Shentan said in a serious tone, "I have a reason why I have to leave."
In the dark of the night, Li Shentan tiptoed out of the village. Little Liren was much more relaxed since she could fly.
Si Liren said from the side, "Didn't you say that you would no longer hypnotize good people in front of Big Brother Wudi?"
Hypnotizing someone who trusted him like that would always make him feel a little uncomfortable. But Li Shentan knew that although this might be the first time, it would definitely not be the last.
Li Shentan turned around and smiled at him. "But this time, I'm doing a good deed. I believe he'll understand."
However, Li Shentan knew that being kind was just a façade. This person's combat strength was solid enough to beat up most of the supernatural beings in the Central Plains.
There was a natural miasma barrier near Xiuzhu Province, and the natural environment was relatively harsh, so it was not suitable for a large-scale march. Even a supernatural being like Zhang Baogen had fallen prey to it, let alone a normal person.
"The Central Plains seems to have been taken over by artificial intelligence. When I was investigating the Wang Clan at Stronghold 73, the entire stronghold's residents all turned into robots at the same time. Their eyes were completely unfocused and empty like the abyss." Zhang Baogen said with lingering fear, "It wasn't easy for me to escape from the encirclement. At that time, there were other supernatural beings I didn't know in Stronghold 73, but they were caught up to midway."
Over the past few months, Li Shentan and Si Liren had even specially built their home here. It was a two-story wooden house.
After inhaling the miasma, symptoms such as headaches, fainting, and itchy skin would appear. Fortunately, Zhang Baogen was a supernatural being, so his cardiopulmonary and metabolic functions were far superior to those of ordinary people. Therefore, his breathing immediately stabilized after Li Shentan cooked the medicinal herbs for him.
"Mhm, the Lian tribesmen probably won't discover us if we leave at night," Li Shentan said.
He continued to write, "Remember, if you encounter any outsiders, you must use the gold, silver, and bronze corpses to fight them. Remember not to get close to the strange animal carcasses."
It wasn't until he finished explaining everything that he heaved a long sigh of relief.
Footsteps could be heard coming from the forest. Lian Yi looked at Li Shentan calmly. "I knew you were going to leave the moment your friend was brought back to the village. Why did you have to leave?"
Zhang Baogen was stunned. "What about you, Brother Shentan?"
It seemed like a terrifying situation that no one had ever imagined had appeared. The enemies they had to face in the Southwest and Northwest might even outnumber the bullets they had in reserve.
After saying that, Li Shentan said to Lian Yi, "Go back to sleep now. When the first ray of sunlight shines on your face tomorrow, you'll wake up … It's not that I don't want to stay, but there's something I have to do."
This feeling was like asking her Big Brother Invincible to guard the snacks for her.
"That won't do." Li Shentan smiled and said, "We have to go to the Central Plains to make sure Grandpa is safe. Besides, there's still something else we have to do."
"There aren't any female ghosts, but there are a lot of big sisters." Li Shentan chuckled and said, "Let's talk about what's going on first. Why did you abandon the satellite phone and come to Xiuzhouzhou?"
If any of their tribesmen fell sick, everyone would be at a loss again.
"Let's go," Li Shentan said with a smile.
Si Liren looked at Li Shentan and asked, "When are we leaving?"
Li Shentan sighed. Actually, he had tried to control supernatural beings before, but it was quite difficult for him to control a supernatural being like Lian Yi.
He told them about this because he was worried that the nanomachines would control other creatures to get close to the village and control the Lian tribesmen.
"Oh." Si Liren said, "I'll listen to you. But aren't you going to say goodbye to Big Sister Lian Yi?"
Before leaving the village, Li Shentan looked back at this paradise and thought to himself that the happiest time of his life was probably spent here.
He told them about this because Li Shentan was worried the Lian tribesmen would forget about the process after he left.
"I don't think your mind is here anymore." Si Liren muttered, "In the past hour, you've already muttered 'I wonder how Ren Xiaosu is doing' twice, so you're definitely going to leave Xiuzhouzhou. But I'm curious. What will happen to Big Sister Lian Yi if you leave? Will you bring them along? They're very good fighters, so they should be able to help us. "
A traveler's footsteps were captured by the scenery along the way, so he did not have to worry about whether he could reach the destination.
He did not have to worry too much, and he did not have to face any danger. He could perform magic for the ladies and aunties. Everyone would look at him in surprise and applaud him like a child.
People in the military often joked that the bullets in the military were the least valuable because there were so many of them that it was not difficult to produce them.
"Where do we leave from?" Si Liren asked.
If they were fighting with the golden or bronze zombies, then there was no need to worry. No matter how powerful the nanomachines controlled by the artificial intelligence were, they could not control the dead.
According to the customs of the Lian tribe, Si Liren had a higher status as a girl, so she lived upstairs while Li Shentan lived on the first floor.
"No." Li Shentan shook his head.
"We can't go through the village gate." Li Shentan said, "Lian Yi's golden zombie is guarding there. We'll climb over from Auntie Lianyun's house."
Si Liren floated next to Li Shentan and said softly, "Big Sister Lian Yi is crying."
There were simple people here, and their favorite thing to do every day was to sunbathe.
"Wow." Si Liren's eyes widened. "Li Shentan, why don't you let me stay here too? Aren't you afraid that I'll be in danger if we go out?"
"You can't take them with you." Li Shentan said with a smile, "The outside world is getting more and more dangerous. It's better for them to stay in Xiuzhouzhou. With the protection of the golden and silver zombies, I think it'll be very difficult for someone to invade this place."
Even if someone really did send someone, the Lian tribe would be more familiar with this place than the enemy. There were too many places they could hide and retreat to, and no one would be able to find them.
Li Shentan said with a smile, "Little Liren is so powerful, so why would she be in danger?"
Zhang Baogen hesitated for a moment before saying, "I've been to all the strongholds. Not only the strongholds, but I've also been to the grasslands and the uninhabited forest in the south."
That night, Zhang Baogen finally woke up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he jumped up vigilantly and looked around.
But as the silver coins flipped, Lian Yi's eyes gradually glazed over.
Li Shentan said with a smile, "Why do you still want to go out? You're not someone who likes to fight to begin with. It's so nice to stay in this paradise. Who knows, maybe this is where you're destined to end up."
As the silver coins flipped in the air, they made a crisp sound.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shentan headed north.
But it was different now. Li Shentan knew that the easier it was for Lian Yi to be hypnotized in front of him, the more Lian Yi trusted him.
"I'll leave when Baogen wakes up," Li Shentan said.
However, just as Li Shentan was about to walk out of the building, he suddenly turned back.
