Chapter 3: Transforming into a Skeleton

    On the way home, Luo Qingyu gritted his teeth and bought a dollar of fat meat, and when he returned home, it was already close to evening.

    Nowadays, only his parents are working at home, and he and his younger brother are both jobless, although he is very hungry and wants to start the meal quickly, Luo Qingyu still starts cooking only when it is nearly dark.

    The so-called cooking is actually a few sweet potatoes with a small amount of rice, and as for the leaves, they are the cheapest wild vegetables.

    There were no electric lights in the house, only candles, which were just lit when the parents returned as expected.

    Parents are now only more than 40 years old, but due to long-term malnutrition, work and exhaustion, looks like seventy years old, whenever you see the parents look, Luo Qingyu always have a kind of inexplicable heartache.

    There's meat? Where did you get the money?

    Luo Zhong looked at his eldest son in surprise.

    Luo Qingyu smiled slightly and said with a kind lie, I found a job, I'm working as an accountant at a farm outside of the city, I got an advance of a month's salary, I'll be working starting tomorrow.

    Tomorrow, Luo Qingyu will go out of the city, and it is very dangerous to go out of the city, so he does not dare to tell the truth.

    Good good good. An unseen smile appeared on Luo Zhong's dry face.

    With this money to buy meat, it would be better to buy more rice, and fat pork is so expensive, it would be better to buy half fat and half lean meat, buying pure fat meat is too wasteful. Huang Lianhua snapped and nagged, her mouth said no, but when she saw the fatty meat, she still couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

    There is a serious shortage of food in the end times, and meat is even more so. Fatty pork has fat and is resistant to hunger, so it is more expensive.

    As for his younger brother, Luo Qiuyu, at this moment, he was sitting on the edge of the dining table with a worried face, silent.

    As always, it wasn't long after dinner before his parents went to their room to rest, and his brother went back to his room just as silently.

    The house is a two-bedroom, one-bathroom house, his parents live in a single room, he and his brother in the same room, divided into bunk beds, as for the living room, it is impossible to live in the living room, because the living room serves as a kitchen, piled up with groceries.

    Back to the room.

    Brother Luo Qiuyu first asked with a face full of curiosity, Brother, you ...... borrowed money?

    No. Luo Qingyu, although as worried, but still comforted: The debt thing, you don't have to worry, I will solve it, in addition ...... after I go out to work, the things in the house you have to help some more, and ...... if ...... if I'm busy at work and didn't make it home, you just ...... forget it, don't say it, go to sleep.

    In fact, Luo Qingyu was not sleepy, but felt very cold, now he just wanted to lie down on the bed and hide under the quilt, peacefully recuperate, and build up strength, so as to cope with tomorrow's adventure out of the city.

    Little by little, time passed.

    In a daze, Luo Qingyu fell asleep.

    But not long after, Luo Qingyu woke up again once again, woken up by hunger, this hunger was a feeling he had never felt before, at the same time, he smelled a strong fragrance.

    Opening his eyes to take a look, this look caused Luo Qingyu to be shocked.

    How is this ...... this possible.

    Stretching out his hands, at this time, there was no muscle at all, only a skeleton frame, his body and legs were the same, the bones were dark gray.

    I ...... how did I turn into Grayskull!!!

    Gray skeleton, gray skeleton is undead creatures, only after the blood corpse of the difficult monsters, bones are exceptionally hard, unusual swords and knives can not hurt the skeleton's bones.

    At this moment, he had not only turned into a gray skeleton, but also possessed the same vision as a gray skeleton; he was quite sure that it must still be the middle of the night, but he was able to see everything around him in the darkness of the night, and he could especially see creatures that possessed thermal energy more clearly, such as, the cockroaches under the bed, the mosquitoes flying above his head, and his brother who was asleep in the bed.

    And the source of his scent turned out to be his brother, who slept on the top bunk ！！！！

    Thirsty~~

    Luo Qingyu couldn't help but let out a strange longing sound.

    No, he's my brother!!!

    Luo Qingyu forced himself to hold back his *** and stumbled to the living room.

    Damn, how did this happen! Did I catch a new virus???

    Just a moment ago, there was a violent instinct in his body, the kind of instinct that made him almost twist off his brother's head with his hand and then suck his brother's soul after his death, if his willpower wasn't strong enough, he couldn't help but say that tragedy would have happened.

    At the moment, even though he was staying in the living room, a strong scent hit his senses, a scent that emanated not only from his brother in the room, but also from his parents in the other room, and even the next door neighbor.

    Suddenly, Luo Qingyu's body shook and trembled.

    He thought of terrible things, if ...... if the body did not change back before dawn, once he was discovered by others, then he would suffer from the pursuit of the city guards, and the chances of living were zero.

    Thinking of this, Luo Qingyu instantly became all anxious.

    Change back, change back.

    Luo Qingyu had an anxious face and tried to use his mind to change back to his own body.

    Just then ......

    Click.

    The door to his parents' room opened and it was his father, Luo Zhong, who appeared, Qing Yu? Or is it Qiu Yu? Taking so long to go to the bathroom? It's so dark and you don't know to light a candle.

    Seeing his father appear, Luo Qingyu's body instantly stiffened.

    Jabla ......

    Father struck a match.

    It's Qing Yu, what's wrong? Too excited to sleep because you're going to work tomorrow?

    The light of the candle was dim, but still see the surrounding situation. And Luo Qingyu also staggered for a moment, at this time, he once again changed back to his original appearance, still wearing the original old clothes, only, the skin became a little pale.

    Huh. ......

    Luo Qingyu smiled, quietly relieved in his heart, and followed his father's words, En, a little bit unable to sleep.

    It's fine, just get used to it. Saying this, Luo Zhong put on a coat and waved to Luo Qingyu: Since you can't sleep, dad will accompany you to chat for a while, to be honest, dad is also too excited to sleep right now, before I was worried that you wouldn't be able to find a job, now that you finally have your own job, the stone in dad's heart has finally been put down.

    Since you were a child, you understand things, and people are smart, but unfortunately there is no qualification for cultivation, however, now finally get over it, after going out to work, remember to work well, must be down-to-earth and serious work, now it's too difficult to find a job, once you miss it, you will regret for the rest of your life.

    ......

    The father and son had a long conversation, and eventually, the father was the first to top it off and went to his room to go back to sleep.

    While Luo Qingyu was so excited that he couldn't sleep at the moment, being able to transform into a skeleton, such an ability, was something he had definitely never heard of in the past, there must be some special reason.

    After fumbling for a long time, Luo Qingyu then realized that the amber necklace worn on his chest had changed a little.

    At this moment, the color of the amber, which was transparent, changed to a translucent gray, and the flies that had solidified in the amber disappeared without a trace.

    What kind of treasure is this amber necklace? So magical.

    Luo Qingyu once again scrutinized the amber necklace.

    Change!

    Luo Qingyu sent out a thought.

    As he expected, as the thoughts appeared, the muscles on his body disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his entire body once again turned into a skeleton.

    Looking into the mirror, Luo Qingyu was able to see his head for the first time after turning into a skeleton.

    At this moment, his head still did not have half a muscle, but there was a slowly burning ghost fire inside his head, and his entire body looked a bit eerie under the illumination of this ghost fire.

    Luo Qingyu didn't have a single muscle in his body, but his bones were unusually flexible, gently picking up the water cup.

    Snap.

    The glass of water exploded instantly.

    After this ...... transformed into a skeleton, the power is surprisingly so strong, I just held the cup according to my previous strength, and the cup was actually pinched and burst!!!! With my current strength, I should be able to easily deal with an ordinary warrior.

    Feeling this, Luo Qingyu's heart once again became incredibly excited.

    With the ability to transform into a skeleton, at least he wouldn't have to worry so much about going out of the city tomorrow, after all, he was now someone who had the means to defend himself.

    The next day dawned.

    After having breakfast and bidding farewell to his family, Luo Qingyu moodily picked up his traveling bag and went out.

    There were a lot of people who went out in the morning, especially on West Street, at this time, West Street had already been bustling with activity, those who sold breakfast were basically ordinary people, while most of those who purchased breakfast were martial artists, and even Luo Qingyu saw two passing Spiritual Masters.

    Spiritual power masters were a special profession, they cultivated themselves by absorbing the ghost fire of skeletons in conjunction with the corresponding gong methods, their own strength was very strong and their destructive power was even stronger, they could be said to be the nemesis of skeletons.

    Kid, with this body, you're not planning to leave the city, are you? A young warrior carrying an axe stopped in front of Luo Qingyu and condescendingly asked.

    Eh, I'm just going to take a look at the outer edges of the city. Luo Qingyu was somewhat baffled.

    The young warrior snorted coldly, Kid, I don't know where you get the confidence that you can avoid the undead pursuit, I advise you to better put away your unrealistic fantasies, rookies like you, I met people, not a hundred of them but at least dozens of them, and they all ended up as snacks in the mouths of the undead.

Chapter IV. Small gains

    Luo Qingyu was being preached to by a youth he didn't know, his mood was a little strange, after all, in the end of the world, he had seen too much human warmth and coldness, and now he was surprised to run into several good people in a row.

    Thank you, I know what I'm doing. Luo Qingyu bowed slightly in thanks.

    The youth was a bit surprised, It's good to know, then hurry up and go home, the wilderness is not for you kids to roam around.

    Eh, I'll be safe. Luo Qingyu could only respond stiffly.

    You ...... The youth was a little annoyed, but could do nothing about it.

    Sanji, it's time to go. A middle-aged man called out to the young man.

    Alright, I'll be right there. Saying that, Jiang Shanzhi sighed, Since you're looking for death, I can't stop you, however, you have to remember one thing, although the undead are terrifying, sometimes the martial artists in the wilderness are even more ferocious than the undead, so take care of yourself.

    After saying that, Jiang Shanzhi turned around and left with a big stride.

    The youth left, Luo Qingyu inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief, facing that youth, Luo Qingyu unexpectedly had a sense of fear that he had felt in his last life when he faced his homeroom teacher.

    At that moment, Luo Qingyu utilized the remaining four dollars and fifty cents on his body to purchase a portion of food and a small shovel.

    Departure, whether I can earn money or not, next depends on luck, I hope my luck is always that good. Luo Qingyu said silently in his heart.

    Walking out of the city gates, what met his eyes were three large roads, followed by a wide open space, where crowds of people gathered in twos and threes, some of them were fixed teams, some of them were temporary groups.

    Just as Luo Qingyu was considering which path to take, a large-eared youth walked up to Luo Qingyu and reached out to gently pull Luo Qingyu.

    Dude, you're going out exploring?

    Eh. Luo Qingyu was once again baffled.

    The big-eared youth smiled faintly, Our side of the team is also going out to explore, I see that you are alone, why don't you join our team? Don't worry, although our team is temporarily organized, the captain is an experienced expert, it's safer to team up together.

    Luo Qingyu was a bit moved, in fact, the information of the wilderness he had read a lot, but without practice, it could only be said to be on paper.

    What conditions? Luo Qingyu asked.

    It's impossible to have a master lift without conditions.

    Hey, brother looks like a person who understands, the conditions are simple, although we are teamed up together, but when we get to the wilderness it's all up to our personal chances, but no matter what items we obtain, all items need to be paid to the captain at 40%.

    Eh, sorry, I feel it's better to act alone. Luo Qingyu kindly refused.

    If he couldn't transform into a skeleton, he might have agreed to the other party's request, but since he had a means of protection, there was no need for him to have 40% of his income deducted by others for nothing.

    After saying that, Luo Qingyu turned around and left.

    Of the three avenues, Luo Qingyu chose the rightmost because there were the most people walking on this side, and of those teams, the overall strength was relatively ordinary, so by this projection, the wilderness at the end of the road on the right should be relatively safer.

    Luo Qingyu refused to team up, Big Ears felt a bit disappointed and could only return to report to the captain, Captain, he's not willing to team up with us.

    Oh.

    The one who answered the voice was a middle-aged man with a scar on his face, the middle-aged man's eyes flashed with brilliance as he silently responded, Since that's the case, forget it, let's set off.

    The mouth said, but the heart sneered, that guy looks like a rash, but so confident to break in, there must be special treasures on his body, we have to find an opportunity to get him killed, to see what kind of good things there are in the end.

    At that moment, the scarred man led a group of rookies and trailed behind Luo Qingyu.

    The wilderness near Jiang Xing City had long been searched by an unknown number of waves of humans, and it was almost impossible for there to be anything of value, and in response to this, Luo Qingyu could only bury his head in the sand and rush.

    I don't know if it's an illusion, since he was able to turn into a skeleton last night, Luo Qingyu realized that his physical strength had increased quite a lot, if it was usual, walking that far away, he would definitely be exhausted, but now he still had plenty of physical strength.

    The further away from the city, the fewer silhouettes he encountered, and after ten kilometers, Luo Qingyu couldn't see any silhouettes.

    Damn, forgot to purchase a map.

    At this moment, Luo Qingyu realized that he himself didn't carry a map and could only rely on his memory, Go over this mountain in front of us, the opposite side seems to be Luohe town, no matter what, let's cross this mountain first.

    The quickest way to go out and search for supplies is to enter a town that has been extinguished, but of course, towns are most likely to hide undead creatures and are very dangerous.

    Thinking of this, Luo Qingyu made sure no one was around and entered a bush.

    Transformation.

    With a thought, the muscles on Luo Qingyu's body quickly disappeared, and in a moment, his entire body was only a skeleton frame, and to his surprise, the clothes on his body disappeared, but the traveling bag on his back was still hanging on his back.

    Eh!

    Luo Qingyu was slightly startled in his heart, There's actually someone behind me? It should be a coincidence that they are passing by.

    It was difficult for any creature to hide under Grayskull's keen sense of smell, not to mention, the one behind him wasn't wearing any scent-concealing gear.

    Looking back through the grass, Luo Qingyu didn't see any silhouette, but he knew that the silhouette was not far away behind the big tree.

    Forget it, I'll hide in the bushes and transform, there's no way that guy will notice.

    Thinking of this, Luo Qingyu took out a set of grass clothes from his traveling bag, and after the grass clothes were put on his body, he jumped forward towards the mountain as fast as he could.

    Not long after Luo Qingyu left, the man who was hidden had a gloomy face, How dare you enter the mountain forest, count your life.

    This person was the same Scar Man that Jiang Xing met outside of the city, Scar Man was very clear that venturing into the dense mountain forest was almost no different from seeking death, and for his own safety, he could only give up hunting Luo Qing Yu.

    Shoo ...... shoo ......

    Luo Qingyu was like a joyful rabbit traveling through the mountains.

    A gentle breeze came in.

    Hahaha ...... cool ......

    Luo Qingyu couldn't help but hahaha laugh, this smile contained too much, sixteen years of torment, finally ushered in the transformation of life. As a skeleton, how he yelled and screamed again, but he couldn't make a sound, at best, it was a faint sound of bones colliding.

    Nature without human damage, the trees are now very lush after almost 100 years of growth.

    There's a rabbit over there.

    Incarnated as a skeleton, most of Luo Qingyu's vision was presented through heat sensing, even when hiding in a tree hole, Luo Qingyu was still able to vaguely distinguish what an animal looked like.

    Gently approach the rabbit's hiding spot.

    Thumbs up!

    Luo Qingyu's palm probed out with great speed, easily grabbing both ears of the rabbit, which struggled desperately under his skeletal claws.

    Hey, hey, ten bucks in hand.

    A hare could be sold for about ten dollars, which Luo Qingyu knew very well.

    Once again sensing a bit to make sure that there were no humans close by in the surroundings, Luo Qingyu twisted the rabbit's head and put it into his traveling bag, secretly saying, This rabbit can be used as lunch, and the rest of the portion will be brought home for mom and dad to eat.

    Huh. ......

    This is the Yin Star Grass, hey, hey, not bad, not bad, it's true, it's only when you go out that it's easiest to get rich.

    Yin Xing Herb, one of the antidote medicines, this one herb is valued at 3 dollars.

    Other than that, I dare not say, as a school master, in terms of medicinal herbs and monster differentiation, Luo Qingyu was absolutely certain.

    Along the way, Luo Qingyu found a lot of medicinal herbs one after another, adding up to a value of more than 30 yuan mark. 30 yuan income, equivalent to a month's income of an ordinary senior worker.

    Soon enough, Luo Qingyu went over the big mountain, his memory was correct, not far below the mountain was a small town.

    As the destination was about to arrive, Luo Qingyu's movements instantly became cautious.

    Seeing that he was about to approach Luohe Town, suddenly, several strong scents hit his sense of smell.

    There are people in front, the number is at least more than 10!!! Recognizing through his sense of smell, Luo Qingyu was shocked in his heart, he simply did not expect such a calm town to hide so many humans.

    At that moment, Luo Qingyu could only lurk on the ground and wait quietly.

    Strange, according to reason, Luohe Town is close to Jiangxing City and has long been swept by martial artists many times before, but there are still so many people today.

    Luo Qingyu curiously darkened.

Chapter 5 - I'm beating you for your own good

    Competition for patience, Luo Qingyu is not afraid, so many years have survived, do not care to wait a few more hours.

    At that moment, Luo Qingyu waited quietly.

    Little by little the time passed, and it looked as if it would be noon, when ......

    Boom!

    A loud explosion rang out in a bungalow covered in brocade vines, and if the sense of smell was correct, there should be a human hidden in the room.

    The explosion, like cold water dripping into a calm frying pan, instantly became boiling.

    Roar.

    Roar.

    ......

    A hissing sound rang out from every room.

    Eh!

    Luo Qingyu's scalp instantly went numb.

    Because the ones that appeared were not real humans, but blood corpses, so by extrapolation, the scent he smelled just now was not real humans, but these blood corpses, and real humans must be wearing scent isolation equipment, not so easy to smell the scent.

    Blood corpses, blood corpses belong to half creature half undead monsters, which are human beings who have suffered from the infection of undead death.

    Blood corpses have no reason, can only rely on instinct to kill creatures, somewhat similar to the combination of zombies and zombies. They do not have the stiffness of zombies, very flexible, but also carries a virus similar to zombies, once infected by the virus, can not be treated in time, the infected creatures will become another brand new blood corpse.

    Just then ......

    Three figures popped out from the corners of different houses, three martial artists. Two of them held axes and one held a longsword.

    Psst!

    Psst!

    The axe instantly split the two blood corpses in half, scattering blood all over the ground.

    Another martial artist with a sword, his body lightly penetrated into the group of corpses, his longsword lightly gestured a few times, and in an instant, the bloody corpses turned into pieces of meat and fell directly to the ground.

    A few breaths later, a dozen or so blood corpses were slaughtered.

    Suddenly.

    Bang!

    At the top of the house, the sniper shot the bloody corpses that originally looked dead but rose up again, and if the sniper hadn't suddenly struck, one of the martial artists might have been injured.

    So far, a dozen or so blood corpses had been cleanly eliminated.

    Gollum.

    With such exaggerated combat power, Luo Qingyu looked dumbfounded, honestly, this was the first time he had seen a martial artist fight against a blood corpse in the real world.

    ......

    After the battle, the sniper lying on the balcony growled with an unhappy face, Old Li, you bastard, it's because of you that I wasted a bullet for nothing, do you know that sniper rifle bullets are very expensive.

    Bah, what's the use of me wanting your dog's life, your dog's life isn't worth anything. The female sniper condescendingly bristled.

    Alright, stop bickering, hurry up and clean up the battlefield, we made such a big commotion, someone is sure to come later. Speaking was the martial artist with the sword, Old Li, this is already the fourth time you've been careless, in order for you to become more careful, half of your share from this outing goes to Mei Niang.

    Ah ...... Lao Li instantly bitter face, Boss, or not this punishment even if it, Mei Niang a girl to be so money why, on the contrary, I have an old man on the top, the bottom of the small to be raised, life is bitter ah.

    The sword-wielding martial artist snorted coldly, Got a problem with that?

    Uh, no comment, no comment. Old Li hurriedly waved his hand.

    Yeah!

    The female sniper waved her fist up with a happy expression.

    At that moment, the four martial artists took out their implements and began to extract the blood of the blood corpses, which contained viruses but were not of low value.

    There were a full thirteen blood corpses, but the blood obtained could only fill one bottle, about two liters or so, as the blood corpses contained a much lower amount of blood within them than humans.

    ......

    In the grass, Luo Qingyu, for the sake of his own life, had long ago quietly canceled his transformation and changed back to his human appearance.

    Kidding aside, if the other party accidentally discovered that there was a gray skeleton here, they would surely exterminate it instantly, and they wouldn't even have time to explain themselves.

    The team personnel over there had packed up and were just about to leave.

    Gollum ......

    A long stomach gurgle came from Luo Qingyu, a sound that broke the surrounding tranquility.

    Who!

    The four martial artists instantly entered a fighting position, and the female gunman even pulled out a small pistol to take aim.

    Luo Qingyu was instantly scared silly, his body was drenched in cold sweat, hurriedly raised his hands and stood up and shouted, Don't, don't shoot, I ...... am just passing by, stock passing by, without any bit of malice.

    Being pointed at by a gun, and four high force martial artists gazing at him, Luo Qingyu felt the fragility of life for the first time, his face became a little pale, after all, his life and death are in the other party's thoughts. Luo Qingyu swore that in the future, he would go out and eat well, and would never be in this situation again.

    Seeing that the person who had appeared was a yellowish-faced, skinny human, the four martial artists gazed around slightly.

    Suddenly, one of the fighters called out in surprise, It's you?

    Hearing the voice, Luo Qingyu looked over carefully and realized that the person in front of him was the very martial artist who had advised him to give up his adventure this morning, his name seemed to be called Shanji something or other.

    Yes, yes, yes, it's me. Luo Qingyu hurriedly responded.

    Are you alone? Jiang Shanzhi asked suspiciously, the other party was so weak that it was impossible to approach them silently.

    Ennn, it's just me. Luo Qingyu hurriedly nodded his head.

    The other three martial artists looked towards Jiang Shanzhi and only dropped their guard after receiving a nod from Jiang Shanzhi.

    You, come here.

    Jiang Shanzhi hooked his finger at Luo Qingyu, that look, that attitude, as if he was looking at a slag.

    Luo Qingyu was helpless and walked over with a face full of apprehension.

    Jiang Shanzhi reached out and plucked Luo Qingyu's traveling bag with one hand and flipped through it, Yo, the harvest is quite good, a hare, a few herbs, it should be worth more than forty dollars, not bad, not bad.

    The other three martial artists couldn't help but cover their faces and turn to look at the other side when they saw Jiang Shanzhi's performance. ,

    Pop!

    Luo Qingyu a reaction is not as good as, directly by Jiang Shanzhi ruthless slap, the whole person confused, at the same time, the ear came Jiang Shanzhi angry voice: Waste, say you waste still do not believe.

    You! Luo Qingyu was instantly enraged, in two lifetimes combined, this was the first time he had been slapped.

    Snap!

    Jiang Shanji backhanded another slap on Luo Qingyu's other cheek.

    Yo, quite a temper, come on, return a hand, if you dare to return a hand, it means you have the guts, come and try? Jiang Shanji stared at Luo Qingyu with contempt and said.

    At this point, Old Lee looked a little down, Sanji, almost there.

    Hmph. Jiang Shanzhi snorted coldly, Kid, if I run into you in the wilderness next time, I won't kill you, but I will break your legs.

    After saying that, Jiang Shanzhi turned around and left.

    The rest of the three also followed Jiang Shanzhi's pace, only Luo Qingyu was annoyed and staggered in place, not daring to make the slightest move.

    The four of them had probably walked a few dozen meters away when Jiang Shanzhi suddenly turned back to glare at Luo Qingyu and said in a cold voice, Still not following me, do you want me to kill you?

    Crazy, absolutely crazy.

    Luo Qingyu growled inwardly, but he didn't dare to resist in the slightest and silently followed.

    Luo Qingyu just followed him up, but Old Li was smiling slightly, Young man, don't hold a grudge against Sanji, he's just a knife mouth and a tofu heart, he beat you up, but it's really for your own good.

    Seeing Luo Qingyu's silence, Old Li smiled once again, ''It seems like you don't believe what I'm saying and aren't convinced. Then I'll say it, you're going out of the city for the first time this time, right? You don't even have a map on you, this is one of the easiest mistakes a novice can make."

    Also, your harvest today is good, but it is your doom. The undead are scary, but the cold-blooded people in the end times are even scarier, if we didn't bring you back to the city, with your harvest today, you would have already been hunted down by other martial artists before you even got close to the city, and similar to a rookie like you who ventures out on his own, the moment he leaves the city, he would have already been targeted.

    I ......

    Luo Qingyu wanted to say ''I have means of self-protection'', but the words just reached his mouth and he retracted them.

    If it was as Old Li had said, then the humans he had run into in the morning when he transformed into a skeleton might be bloody hunters. If he bumped into them when he returned to the city, even if he turned into a skeleton and killed the other party back, what could he do? Once he transformed into a skeleton, his special ability was exposed in plain sight, and he would be just as dead left and right at that time.

    Thanks. Luo Qingyu said silently.

    Hey, that's right. Old Li instantly smiled and patted Luo Qingyu's shoulder, This time, you're lucky to have run into us, although we're not really good people, at least we won't hunt innocent civilians.

    With that, Old Li said to Sun Meiniang, Meiniang, doesn't your uncle run a farm? Be a good person to the end, turn around and ask your uncle to arrange an errand for this young man.

    Rookies out on the road, especially these yellow-faced, no-half-force lads, no one would come out to die if they weren't driven crazy by life, and Old Lee had seen too many of them.

    Sun Meiniang sniffed and immediately smiled, Okay, no problem, who made me happy today, Old Li, you can be a little more careless next time, I will definitely save your life again next time.

    Old Lee's face darkened.

Chapter 6: A little bit weak

    After determining that the group of martial artists had no intention of harming themselves, Luo Qingyu summoned up the courage to ask weakly, Thank you, my lords, but can I ...... transfer the job to my brother?

    If he hadn't gained the ability to have a job, he would have jumped up and down with excitement, but now, the appeal of a job was no longer enough. Yaya eBooks

    You ...... Old Li was instantly speechless.

    This rookie, it looks like he's not dead yet and wants to keep coming out of the woodwork.

    Jiang Shanzhi, on the other hand, stared grimly at Luo Qingyu and said coldly, Do you intend for me to break your legs right now?

    I ......

    Luo Qingyu was instantly cowed.

    Just then.

    Suddenly.

    Luo Qingyu a faint fragrance came to his face, and the direction of this scent came from the collapsed building next door.

    Be careful, there are blood corpses. Luo Qingyu hurriedly reached out and pointed to the side and yelled.

    As Luo Qingyu's voice fell.

    Bump!

    A hole suddenly broke out of the wall on the left side, and at the same time, a blood corpse clad in a grass coat pounced, its sharp claws lashing down on Sun Meiniang's face.

    Crunch~~

    At the critical moment, Lao Li put his long axe in front of Sun Meiniang, and with a crunching sound, the handle of the axe was shortened by a sharp claw, and then, with a pfft sound, Lao Li's arm was left with a long scratch, and blood was splattered.

    At this time, Jiang Shanzhi axe hard round, touch sound, ruthlessly cut on the blood corpse's stomach.

    However, the blood corpse was only chopped back a few steps, and the grass coat draped over its stomach fell off, but its flesh was unharmed.

    Seeing this, the crowd's faces changed.

    Damn it, it's a silver level blood corpse, he has already given birth to a spirit. As the captain, Cohen couldn't remain calm at this moment, You guys back off and assist me.

    Immediately, Ke En didn't care about retaining his strength, and all of his spiritual energy coalesced on his long sword, which emitted a dense green light.

    A Threadbare.

    The long sword stabbed at the blood corpse's head with lightning speed, however, the blood corpse was exceptionally sensitive, its head gently deviated and grabbed a backhanded grab at Ke En's shoulder.

    Cohen's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly took a sliding step to avoid it, and backhanded a vertical slash.

    Thumbs up!

    The sword qi that had been unbeatable was only able to cut through the skin of the silver blood corpse in the face of it, and not a single bit of blood flowed out.

    Bang Bang Bang ......

    Sun Mei Niang also made a move, her pistol fired wildly, the gun hitting the blood corpse's head, but these bullets only encrusted into the skin of the blood corpse, and a pungent roasting smell rose from the skin.

    Bang!

    Jiang Shanzhi once again chopped an axe at the blood corpse's head, however, the blood corpse had no intention of dodging it at all, and its head instead met the axe tough.

    Clang~~~

    The axe collided with the blood corpse's head, and while the blood corpse's head was fine, the axe crumbled through a gaping hole and rebounded quickly, and Jiang Shanzhi's hands, which were tightly gripping the axe's handle, kept trembling.

    We're no match for it, you guys run, I'll hold it off. Old Li, whose arm was drenched in blood, held his axe in one hand and stood in front of the crowd with a resolute face.

    Don't, Old Li you still owe me four lives. Sun Meiniang was equally resolute.

    No, I only owe you three lives now, don't forget that I saved your life just now. Saying that, Old Li growled once again, Don't flinch, all of you run, I've been poisoned by blood, I can't run fast enough, I can't run at all, if you're really good to me, remember to take care of my family.

    Cohen's face struggled for a moment before he coldly said, Let's go, and Old Li stays.

    After saying that, Ke En pulled Sun Meiniang at the first opportunity and quickly escaped backwards without looking back.

    Shoo ......

    Matter willingly, the blood corpse gave up the first time to kill the old Li, instantly rushed to the front of the Kerns, stopping the crowd to go, and simply spat: Food, all ...... dead.

    Lao Li wanted to stop the Blood Corpse and delay time for his teammates, however, the difference in strength between the two was too great, and the difference in speed was just as great.

    Pom~~

    The Blood Corpse's legs stepped, and its jump-like posture once again pounced on Sun Meiniang.

    Ke En was the one next to Sun Meiniang, there was no way he wouldn't save Sun Meiniang, and at that moment, his sword energy burst out again and cut across.

    Clunk ......

    Blood corpse use hard and sharp claws backhand slap, a grab, bar sound, the long sword was instantly broken, at the same time, the blood corpse right foot out, the target to Ke En's chest, if a kick real, with the blood corpse powerful strength, absolutely can put Ke En chest kick through.

    Cohen's face went white, at this moment, his body had just lost its balance there was no way he could dodge it.

    Oh ...... is dead.

    I didn't expect to die here after just two years of wandering around, and I even dragged a lot of people down with me.

    Seeing that he was about to die, Cohen instantly thought about many, many things, if life were to start over again, perhaps, he would still choose to become a Spiritualist just the same, not willing to be mediocre.

    ......

    Fuck!

    The strength displayed by the blood corpse made Luo Qingyu's scalp numb, if all of these martial artists in front of him died, he definitely wouldn't be able to escape either. Since this was the case, he no longer cared about hiding his abilities.

    Whoosh ......

    Luo Qingyu scurried out in an arrow step, at the same time, his body skeletonized at the fastest speed possible, and after transforming into a skeleton, his entire body was covered in power.

    Bending over, he fished with both hands, and the whole thing was a heck of a lot of fun.

    Luo Qingyu's hands grasped the blood corpse's foot wrap with death, then ......

    Pom ...... Pom ...... Pom Pom ...... Pom Pom ......

    With a left fling and a right smash, Luo Qingyu used the blood corpse as a wooden stick, frantically smashing it on the ground left and right.

    At this moment, Luo Qingyu's head was blank, knowing that even if he transformed into a skeleton, he was likewise no match for the blood corpse, all he had to do now was to keep smashing the blood corpse into unconsciousness, and not allow it to regain its balance, or else, the ones who would die would be them.

    Luo Qingyu's actions caused Ke En, Sun Mei Niang, Jiang Shanzhi, and Old Li to become dumbfounded.

    **!

    This ......

    My God!!!

    ......

    Looking at the dumbfounded four, Luo Qingyu felt like he was going crazy and hurriedly roared, Quickly think of a way to finish it off ah, once it regains its balance, the ones who die will be us.

    However, no matter how loud Luo Qingyu hissed, the sound that came out was a grunt.

    At this moment, no one was more excited than Old Li, who was the one who reacted the fastest, and hastily roared, Captain, what are you still waiting for, hurry up and do it, that skeleton is the rookie just now, one of our own.

    In fact, without the need for Old Li to remind them, the crowd also knew that the skeleton was Luo Qingyu, after all, the traveling bag carried behind the skeleton was the most favorable evidence.

    At that moment, Koen held his half-sword flat and held his breath.

    The sword power coalesced a little bit.

    After a few breaths, Cohen thrust his shortsword forward with vigor.

    Sword of obliteration!

    A sword shot out, Koen's entire body was deflated, the obliterating sword power was very strong, but it needed to store up power, it was not very practical in terms of combat, but it was used today.

    Thumbs up ......

    The short sword was like a long eye, after the blood corpse was shaken into mid air by Luo Qingyu, the short sword instantly missed against the neck of the blood corpse, the short sword pierced through the neck of the blood corpse and clicked in mid air.

    Suffering a powerful impact, the bloody corpse also flew out of Luo Qingyu's hand.

    Phew ......

    It's finally safe.

    Luo Qingyu had a feeling that he was about to be deflated.

    Turning back to look in the direction of the blood corpse, at this look, Luo Qingyu's two eyes stared straight. At this moment, the blood corpse did not die, but rather popped up and swung a palm at Luo Qingyu's chest with a face full of grimace.

    Pom ......

    Luo Qingyu flew out a dozen meters and then skidded on the ground for another five or six meters before stopping.

    Ahem ......

    Luo Qingyu sat up in shock, fearing that the blood corpse would chase after him again, however, unexpectedly, the blood corpse maintained its palm waving posture, then slowly fell backwards.

    Pom ......

    The bloody corpse fell, splattering the ground with dust.

    A faint mist floated up from the blood corpse the moment it died. Luo Qingyu instinctively pounced over and sucked it in through his nose with a mesmerized face.

    A wisp of mist went down his nose and into his skull, while at the same time, the originally gray bones lightened a bit, vaguely moving towards silver.

    When the crowd saw Luo Qingyu's movements, their bodies, which had just relaxed, instantly tensed up again, and the four of them looked at each other.

    Gollum.

    Old Li gulped, Is this guy a skeleton? Or is it a human? Why do I have a bit of a heart attack now, what should we do if he storms out and goes after us.

    Sun Meiniang similarly swallowed her saliva: Old Li, don't worry, if he storms out, the first person he will retaliate against will definitely be Jiang Shanzhi, my goodness, just now, Jiang Shanzhi even smacked this guy two slaps. Saying that, Sun Meiniang turned her head to look at Jiang Shanzhi: Uncle, what was the feeling of the two mouths smacked just now? I haven't smacked a skeleton's mouth yet.

    ......

    Gang Sanji stood in place with a stiff face, as silent as constipation.

    After a few breaths, Luo Qingyu stood up with some reluctance, the breath sucking was finished and there was no more.

    With a single movement of Luo Qingyu standing up, the four of them reflexively assumed battle mode once again.

    Er ......

    Immediately, Luo Qingyu canceled his transformation and ** slowly appeared, once again changing back to his human appearance, saying sardonically, Did my appearance scare you guys?

    Sun Meiniang was the one who reacted the fastest, excitedly running to Luo Qingyu's side, pinching Luo Qingyu's arm behind her, asking with starry eyes, Handsome, you're so powerful, how in the world did you do it, to be able to transform into a skeleton, this ability is absolutely top notch.

    Just as Sun Meiniang's words fell, Ke En immediately shouted coldly, Meiniang.

    Ah ...... Sun Meiniang instantly reacted and spat out her tongue, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, everyone has their own secrets, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, I'm being abrupt, you don't have to answer the question I just asked.

Chapter VII. Anchorages 2600

    Actually, I ...... Luo Qingyu just wanted to replace it with a lie, saying that he swallowed some beads or something.

    But before the words were finished, they were immediately interrupted by Ke En, who walked up to Luo Qingyu and stretched out his hand, Formal acquaintance, my name is Ke En, Intermediate Spiritualist.

    Then, Old Li struck a cool pose, Li Pingan, known as Old Li, Junior Warrior.

    Gunner, Sun Meiniang, although she hasn't become a warrior yet, she has already forged her body to the ninth level, and she is a little bit short of being promoted to become a warrior, and also, Meiniang is a doctor oh. Sun Meiniang compared a scissor hand pose.

    Jiang Shanzhi, Junior Warrior. Jiang Shanzhi still stiffened his face in response.

    Luo Qingyu's first time encountering this kind of formation, being respected by so many big shots, there was an indescribable feeling in his heart, responding, Luo Qingyu, just graduated from high school, I ...... my ability to transform into a skeleton, and have a skeleton's keen sense of smell. After some hesitation, Luo Qingyu weakly asked, That ...... can I join your battle team.

    Such a united team was extremely rare in this post-apocalyptic world, Luo Qingyu envied these people in front of him, and somewhat desperately wanted to integrate into them.

    Yes. Koen responded with a beaming look on his face.

    Welcome, welcome handsome. Sun Mei Niang smiled with her eyebrows.

    Good, good, great, I was still thinking about how to pull you into our team. Old Li exclaimed excitedly.

    No. Esanji responded.

    As Jiang Shanzhi's words had just fallen, he immediately ushered in three gazes that wanted to kill, at that moment, Jiang Shanzhi hurriedly explained, I'm not opposed to joining our battle team, but you'll have to smack me two times so that I'll welcome you to join.

    Er ......

    Luo Qingyu didn't expect Jiang Shanzhi to be so blunt, and immediately waved his hand, Brother Shanzhi, when you hit me before, it was for my own good, I long ago stopped resenting you, you don't have to take it to heart.

    Two mouths. Gang Sanji still responded with a serious face.

    No fight. Luo Qingyu shook his head again.

    Pop! Snap!

    Jiang Shanzhi forcefully smacked himself two big mouths, two slaps fell and blood came out from the corners of his mouth, I smacked myself two mouths, we're even, welcome to join our team.

    Eh ...... thanks. Luo Qingyu was a bit embarrassed.

    Old Li was speechless and explained to Luo Qingyu, Don't mind him, he's just a crazy person who recognizes death.

    En. Suddenly, Luo Qingyu froze slightly and pointed at Old Li's injured arm, That, Old Li, don't you need to prioritize your wounds?

    Ow ......

    Old Li gave an exaggerated scream, Mei Niang, hurry up, hurry up and put the antidote on me, and by the way, hurry up and bandage me, it hurts ...... it hurts me to death.

    Although Old Li had been infected with the blood corpse virus, as long as he used the antidote in time, he wouldn't be infected; medicines that could eliminate silver level blood poisoning were expensive and its price, fortunately, they had already prepared for this type of medicine.

    Next, Sun Mei Niang bandaged Old Li's wounds while Jiang Shanzhi and Cohen dissected the Silver Blood Corpse's body.

    While dissecting, Cohen recited, The blood crystals in the silver blood corpse's head are worth 2,000, the blood from the blood corpse's body is valued at around 500, and also, the blood corpse's teeth are valued at 100, so the total haul for this blood corpse is around 2,600.

    After saying that, Ke En turned his head to look at Luo Qingyu, Little Luo, if it wasn't for you making a move this time, we would have definitely died here, so the harvest of the silver blood corpses all goes to you.

    2600 dollars!

    Luo Qingyu's two eyes lit up, this was an astronomical figure that made his heart thump, with this money, he could pay off the loan for his younger brother, but he was self-aware, shaking his head, he said, We're a team, let's distribute it according to the team's distribution, after all, if there was no collaboration between all of us, I'd be just as dead here, it's not possible for me to kill a silver level blood corpse all by myself.

    Koen refused, You didn't join the team before the battle, so these harvests go to you, you don't need to have a burden on your heart.

    Hehehe, Qing Yu, just take it. Old Li smiled nervously, Don't you see that this is a lot of money, but it's not durable, as a team member, you need to buy a lot of equipment. Of course, this amount of money is also a bit of an allegory for settling down, after all, no one can guarantee that every battle will be safe and sound.

    Sun Meiniang smiled cheekily, Handsome, if you don't need it, just give it to me, I find myself quite short of money.

    Thanks. Luo Qingyu sincerely said thanks.

    Today's team's gain seems to be a lot, but the loss is also quite a lot, Cohen's longsword is broken, Lao Li's arm is injured and wasted a pricey antidote to poison, so by this reckoning, these team members are in a state of loss.

    ......

    The crowd packed up and immediately returned to the city.

    After all, with Old Lee injured and the captain's weapon broken, he was no longer fit to continue the adventure.

    As for whether there are any supplies in Luohe Town, this point Lao Li answered with great certainty, this place has been swept no less than a hundred times, do you think there are still no valuable things?

    On the way back, Old Li told Luo Qingyu a whole lot of matters to pay attention to when venturing out, and quietly broke the news about Jiang Shanzhi's 'condition', Jiang Shanzhi's younger brother was because he didn't know how to venture out alone, and ultimately died tragically, which led to his temperament becoming nosy.

    Eyes were about to return to Jiangxing City.

    Old Li took out a simple communicator, somewhat similar to a walkie-talkie, but without the talking function of a walkie-talkie, it can only receive simple signals, This communicator can be used, right? This is for you, if the signal light is single-flashing, we'll meet at the West Street, there's no way to fix the exact time, but the time won't be more than five days. If the light is double flashing on, then we will meet at the Sky River Tavern.

    This I will use. Luo Qingyu nodded.

    Hey, handsome, does your brother still need work? Sun Mei Niang asked.

    Need. Luo Qingyu replied with great certainty.

    If his brother had a job, he wouldn't be idle and set up.

    That's fine, just have your brother report to Field Farm tomorrow. Sun Meiniang said with great certainty.

    Okay, thanks.

    Hehehe, you're welcome, just take care of me more from now on.

    ......

    At that moment, Old Li, Jiang Shanzhi, and Sun Meiniang left, leaving Luo Qingyu and Ke En behind.

    Let's go too. Koen said quietly.

    Eh.

    On the way back, Luo Qingyu had already told the matter of his family owing Mountain River Money Bank, wanting the captain to help pay back the money. After all, it was a dangerous thing for him, a small person who was nothing, to hold a huge sum of money and pay it back at his door, especially since the Mountain River Money Bank was still not clean.

    The sooner you pay back the money, the sooner you have peace of mind, and, with interest rates so high, delaying repayment will only increase the more you pay back.

    Mountain River Chambers.

    Mountain River Money Bank belonged to a private organization, to put it bluntly, it was a place for loan sharks, and it was also a loan shark that possessed legitimacy, if there was no background behind it, Luo Qingyu did not believe in it a hundred times.

    Luo Qingyu followed behind Ke En, and the two of them had just stepped into the entrance of the money shop when the attendant at the door did a double take.

    Welcome, two honored guests, this way please.

    Before he could say what business he wanted to conduct, the waiter immediately brewed two cups of strong tea. After all, this was a money bank, and the customers who came here were all God, and saying God was a nice way to address them.

    In the eyes of the waiter, these two were simply two fat pigs, as long as they dared to enter the money changer, they would not want to live a good life.

Chapter 8: Miao Winter

    We've come over to repay the loan, call your manager here. Ke En said faintly, and at the same time, the aura of a strong man faintly emanated from his body.

    Eh ...... The waiter's face stiffened when he heard that it was a repayment, cursed a bad luck, and could only slink off to find the manager.

    Not long after, a fat man with a big belly greeted him with a fawning face, This lord, you want to repay the loan?

    It's not me, it's my brother who has to pay back the loan, he took out a loan of $1000 from you three months ago, you figure out how much you have to pay back in total until now. Even in the face of the manager of Mountain River Chambers, Cohen still assumed an indifferent posture.

    Name? Fatty asked weakly.

    Luo Qiuyu. Luo Qingyu answered.

    Alright, I'll take care of it for you, you sit down first. After saying that, the fat man glared at the waiter beside him, What are you still standing there for, why don't you feel like taking some snacks out to these two adults.

    ......

    With Kerns helping to hold down the fort, the repayment process was quick.

    My lord, this is the bill, please go through it, the previous loan of 1000 yuan, the interest for three months is 800 yuan, since the time is more than two days, the additional default fee is 200 yuan, the total need to pay back 2000 yuan, in addition, we, the Mountain River Money Bank, will give you a favorable deal, you only need to pay back 1800.

    The entire process of repaying the loan was not at all difficult, and the additional $200 default was even
