From Zero to Hero in the Doomsday - Chapter 655
Chapter 655 Ripples Rise Again and Again
Sure enough, this was exactly what Chen Guangda had guessed. Except for the few people who were in charge of guarding the place, everyone slept until night. They didn’t get up until seven or eight o’clock in the evening. However, most of them still looked sickly. They probably wouldn’t be able to recover for three or five days.
“Ah ~ comfortable ah …”
Chen Guangda braced himself and said, She directly jumped up from the ancient bed where the dragons and phoenixes were carved, and the sleepy big-eyed sister also climbed up. However, the little girl did not have the consciousness to serve Chen Guangda and put on clothes. She lazily tied her ponytail and teased, “I found that it’s better if your arm is broken. If it’s broken, then you’ll be obedient. That fake empress seduced you, right?”
“A public toilet, you can’t smell it …”
Chen Guangda shook his head in disdain. She turned around and kissed Xia Fei’s lips. After a simple wash, the two of them went out affectionately. Unexpectedly, the door was already brightly lit. Not only were the lights inside and outside Throne Room bright, but even the street lights on the road were lit. Clearly, they had activated the backup generator.
“Aiya, boss! You’re finally here. I’ll be waiting for you to open the banquet …”
Duan Deyin greeted him from Throne Room in a flash. He nodded and bowed as he welcomed Chen Guangda and the others inside. Although the banquet inside was far from sumptuous, it was quite tall. From dishes to chopsticks, it was a standard royal tableware. Anything he took out was a priceless antique. It was an exciting thing to set up a banquet in Throne Room.
“Welcome Your Majesty and Empress …”
A group of imperial concubines dressed in tulle suddenly greeted them and knelt down in front of Chen Guangda. Chen Guangda immediately looked at them in astonishment, but Duan Deyin smiled flatteringly and said, “We are having a banquet tonight called the Royal Night Banquet. The Emperor will naturally be taken care of by you. Have a taste of the Emperor’s treatment!”
“Haha ~ Your Majesty takes turns to do it. Come to your house tonight, don’t refuse …”
Not far away, Zhou Shengwu suddenly burst into laughter. He should have been here for a while. He was sitting with Su Tong, chatting and laughing while drinking wine. However, Li Tingyu said in a weird tone, “Isn’t he just a local emperor? His family is already three wives and four concubines. A real emperor isn’t as romantic as him!”
“Where is Great Eunuch Wang? He hasn’t come to collect your bet yet …”
Chen Guangda suddenly shouted loudly. Wang Dafu immediately rushed in from outside. He looked at Li Tingyu, whose face had suddenly turned red, and smiled obscenely, “Beauty! If you want to gamble, you must admit defeat. You shouldn’t be a person who doesn’t keep your word, right? How did we do tonight? I will definitely be very gentle to you!”
“Hmph ~ So what if I break my promise? You guys cheated me and still have the face to gamble. Dream on your big head. I won’t let a man touch me even if I die …”
Li Tingyu slapped the table angrily and played a rogue. Everyone immediately burst into laughter. Actually, everyone had already guessed that Li Tingyu would be so shameless. No one really thought that she would sleep with Wang Dafu. However, Zhou Shengwu suddenly asked angrily, “I heard that you swore an oath under my name, right? Can you not be so wicked?”
“If I’m not wicked, you won’t be able to sit here alive. Hurry up and kneel down to thank Huang Enhao …”
Chen Guangda rolled his eyes carelessly and sat down with Xia Fei in his arms. However, even if they made it clear now, it was still the same. They were now fully armed. Even if Chen Guangda said that there would be no helicopters to rescue them, the survivors here did not dare to do anything to them. It was better to pretend that they did not hear anything.
“Gentlemen, please allow me to start. I wish you all a long life, and in the future, your advancement to power and wealth will be as fast as a rocket …”
Duan Deyin directly picked up his wine glass and walked to the middle. Today, they were all following the ancient banquet style. Every two of them sat at a long table. Apart from Chen Guangda and Xia Fei, who were sitting in the middle, the others were lined up on both sides.
But there weren’t many people who could actually sit here, Or rather, it didn’t change much from before, The ones who could sit on this Throne Room were still the same bunch of people. Most of the commoners could only have a quick meal outside. However, the protagonist had changed from Duan Deyin to Chen Guangda. Perhaps the only thing that could make everyone happy was the sudden addition of a lot of food and the unnecessary rescue operation.
“No! I want to toast Brother Dog and the others on behalf of everyone. Without Brother Dog and the others fighting righteously, we won’t have the chance to sit here and drink and brag …”
Chen Guangda suddenly waved his hand and stood up. The others also hurriedly stood up and thanked Brother Gou. Brother Gou was also a very straightforward person. He raised his head and drank a large glass of white wine. Then, he laughed loudly and said, “Our family doesn’t talk to each other. In the future, we will be brothers. It’s only right for me to cut into each other’s ribs!”
“Alright! Then we won’t say anything polite. Anyway, we will definitely remember that we owe you a life …”
Chen Guangda also picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. The atmosphere immediately became lively. A group of imperial concubines directly transformed into singers and danced with the accompaniment of a small band. As the only star here, Wang Ou not only drank a big glass of wine from Chen Guangda, but also came up to present a song.
“Ah? Why hasn’t that slut Chen Xiaoyu come …”
After three rounds of drinking, Chen Guangda felt that there was something missing. The most coquettish Empress did not appear, but Xia Fei spat out the smell of alcohol and said mockingly, “What’s wrong?” Just now, he said that he was a public toilet, and he started to miss him in a short while. If you can’t, then flip through Wang Ou’s token. He’s been secretly making eye contact with you! ”
“Nonsense! Don’t you find it strange that she doesn’t come to such an occasion …”
Chen Guangda rolled his eyes at her angrily, but before he could finish his sentence, two guards hurriedly ran in from outside and shouted at Chen Guangda with pale faces, “Sir! Empress … no! It was Chen Xiaoyu who died, hanging herself with Wang Fang!”
“What? Did you commit suicide? Where did you commit suicide …”
Chen Guangda suddenly stood up from behind the long table. Unexpectedly, the two guards trembled and said, “Eighteen locust trees.” Chen Guangda immediately let Duan Deyin lead the way. The others did not have the mood to eat or drink anymore. They hurriedly picked up their weapons and followed along.
After all, they were almost killed by a locust tree spirit, If another eighteen trees jumped out, the consequences would be frightening. A large group of people quickly left the Taihe Palace Square and arrived near the courtyard of the Internal Affairs Office. From afar, they could see a dozen old locust trees fluttering in the wind. The luxuriant leaves waved in the air like ghost claws. It was frightening to look at them in the middle of the night.
“Old Duan, come with me and take a look. The rest of you are waiting here …”
Chen Guangda took out the flashlight and the Corpse Claw Spear. But just as he was about to go forward, he was pulled back by Duan Deyin. Duan Deyin actually said to him in a trembling voice, “In front of the eighteen locust trees is the Broken Rainbow Bridge, also known as the Broken Soul Bridge. If ancient concubines make mistakes, they will be pulled out and killed from there. Moreover, these old locust trees are relic of the Yuan Dynasty. They are even more evil than the one we killed!”
“I don’t believe in evil today …”
Chen Guangda walked out with the Corpse Claw Spear without fear. Duan Deyin had no choice but to forcefully follow him, while the rest of them set up a formation on both sides. Brother Gou and the others even asked everyone to cover their mouths and noses with something, but Chen Guangda quickly shouted in front, “Come over here, it’s not a living plant corpse!”
“Holy shit! It can’t be a big-headed ghost …”
Just as Wang Dafu walked over, he shouted loudly. He saw two women hanging upright from the old locust tree. Not only were their bodies naked, their withered corpses were sucked out of blood. Fifth, he immediately climbed up the tree and cut two ropes with a knife. The two female corpses fell heavily to the ground.
“Damn it! What a big-headed ghost! That guy is following me …”
Chen Quan frowned solemnly. The carotid arteries of the two female corpses had pierced holes. They were exactly the same as the high school students who were hanged in the hospital. Duan Deyin immediately asked in surprise what the big-headed ghost was. Chen Quan shook his head and said, “That thing is even harder to deal with than tree spirits. It can create illusions in large areas. You have no idea where it will hide!”
“This … is so evil …”
Duan Deyin and the others immediately looked at each other. Many of them even had goosebumps like hedgehogs. However, Li Tingyu suddenly walked to the side puzzled. She used her flashlight to shine on a neat pile of clothes in the bushes and said in astonishment, “Why are they dressed so neatly? Are they here to date someone?”
However, Chen Guangda shook his head without any surprise. “They all said that the big-headed ghost would create illusions for people. It could make anyone deceive them into coming here!”
“Since it’s so powerful, why don’t you kill us together? It doesn’t look like a living corpse to eat one by one …”
Li Tingyu still looked at him suspiciously, but Chen Guangda pointed at his head and said, “Big-headed ghost has another special ability, which is reading minds. I have killed two big-headed ghosts before. Perhaps he was afraid of me so he didn’t act rashly. These things are very smart!”
“Come with me for a moment …”
Li Tingyu suddenly turned around and walked to the side. Chen Guangda frowned in puzzlement or followed behind. He did not know what the little girl was up to.
“There’s half a muddy footprint on the locust tree, and there’s a row of mud on the grass. This means that someone came here before us and climbed onto the tree …”
Li Tingyu stared at Chen Guangda and whispered, “But he didn’t want us to know that he was here, so he chose to leave the grass. So I suspect that this person is the real murderer. He didn’t kill any big-headed ghosts at all. He killed two women and then hung them up, deliberately blaming the big-headed ghosts!”
“Are you kidding me? Who can suck their blood dry if they’re not big-headed ghosts …”
Chen Guangda looked at her in confusion, but Li Tingyu shook her head and said, “Because that person is wearing military boots. The patterns on his footprints are exactly the same as ours. Only we are wearing military boots here. If it was our people, how could they not report it? Unless this person … is no longer a human!”
“Not human? This …”
Chen Guangda was shocked. He suddenly turned around and looked behind him. However, he suddenly thought of an extremely terrifying possibility that instantly caused his entire body to freeze.
