Chapter 854：

Only the city defense troops were standing guard and patrolling, and there was no long queue entering the city like in the past.

"The business district is going to be lively again, we have to wait for the ghost wave to pass..." Diane sighed.

Because of the phantom tide, people became nervous, and there was almost no mind for entertainment, and now they were trying to survive. On land, people from large and small tribes began to move to the nearest big city.

"Xuanwu City should be able to block the tide of ghosts..." Diane's ice-colored eyes flashed, and she felt a lot of peace in her heart.

stomping on...

Gao Cao ran up to Shanhaiguan and said with a serious expression, "Mr. Dai, there is a situation in Tianmenlou!!"

"What's the situation with "four-one-zero"?" Diane jumped off the city wall with a shock.

"Something is always following us in the water." Gao Cao said solemnly.

"Let's go and have a look." Diane raised her eyebrows slightly and strode down the stairs of the city wall.

Gao Cao quickly chased after him, rushed down Shanhaiguan in a third step, and walked through the Hanging Pavilion along the stairs.

In the Hanging Pavilion, it is the closest to the sea. If you continue down the passage next to the Hanging Pavilion, you will enter the Tianmen Tower, which also means entering the water level.

The two hurried to the square in front of Tianmen Tower, watching the sea water outside the glass barrier.

"Where?" Diane frowned, staring at the deep water.

Gao Cao pointed to the area close to the rock turtle's body, and said solemnly, "Mr. Dai, look over there."

Diane approached the glass barrier, looked sideways, and really saw a few groups of black creatures.

She frowned and whispered, "What is that?"

"Director Dai, do you want to go out and have a look?" Gao Cao asked respectfully.

Diane hesitated for a moment, but nodded and said, "Go, bring some pearls."

"Yes!!" Gao Cao nodded.

He first went back to Tianmen Tower and took several empowering pearls of different abilities.

Gao Cao put the pearl controlled by the water element in his mouth, and tied a rope made of spider silk around his waist. Without a sharp tool to cut it, it would be difficult to break it.

He held his breath, jumped into the water from the Hanging Pavilion, and sank to the Tianmen Tower.

It wasn't until he couldn't hold his breath that Gao Cao swallowed the empowering pearl in his mouth.

"I can breathe." Gao Cao breathed a sigh of relief, his body drawing oxygen from the water.

The empowering pearl he took only lasted for three minutes, so the later he took it, the longer he could stay underwater.

Gao Cao adjusted the direction and controlled the water flow to bring him closer to the shadow.

grumbling-

annoying sound

When he got closer, he could see clearly what the black shadow was chasing beside the rock turtle.

□Q

Gao Cao opened his mouth wide, and bubbles came out of his mouth.

He saw clearly that there were more than ten ghosts swimming towards him.

"It's a ghost!!" Gao Cao's face changed, and he felt the breath of suffocation from the approaching ghost.

That is the breath of the seventh-order. Among this group of ghosts, there is at least one seventh-order ghost.

He controlled the flow of water, wrapped his body and approached the water.

In front of Tianmen Tower, Diane also saw the ghost that was speeding up, and her face became ugly.

"Give me the pearls and I'll deal with them," she called coldly.

"Yes!!" The deputy took two empowering pearls from his arms and handed them to the ice-haired woman.

A city defense army exclaimed: "Not good, Lord Gao Cao is going to be caught up."

Diane hurriedly looked back, but before Gao Cao returned to the water, the ghost was already approaching him.

"Oops, run!!" Diane's face changed.

"It's too late." The five fingers of the deputy clenched into fists, as if foreseeing that Gao Cao would be torn to pieces by the ghosts~~~

An angry voice came from downstairs of Tianmen.

Several waterspouts rushed up from the deep sea and washed away several ghosts.

Underwater, the sea dragon beast appeared and charged towards the ghosts angrily.

"It's a sea dragon!!" Diane let out a long sigh of relief.

The sea dragon beast appeared, and there was only one dead end for these ghosts.

"It scared me to death." Gao Cao's face turned pale, and he was dragged back to the hanging pavilion by the spider silk.

"Captain, are you alright?" the city defense army asked with concern.

"It's alright." Gao Cao pretended to be calm, not to lose face in front of his subordinates.

"Captain is fine." The city guards breathed a sigh of relief.

"Stop standing stupidly, pay attention to vigilance." Zan Yan strode forward.

"Yes." The city defense troops shouted in unison, raised their hands and gave a military salute, took up their weapons and watched the sea vigilantly.

"Get up quickly." Zan Yan stretched out his hand to help Gao Cao up.

"It's a big shame." Gao Caohui spit, making the salty taste in his mouth less...

Zan Yan patted Gao Cao's shoulder and comforted: "Relax, there's nothing to be ashamed of."

Gao Cao took a deep breath and said solemnly: "I never thought it would be a ghost, I almost couldn't react."

"Get ready to fight!" Zan Yan's eyes flashed.

"Well." Gao Cao raised his eyes and looked at the sea.

There were ripples on the surface of the water, showing how fierce the underwater battle was.

Whoa whoa???

The sea surged, and the two ghosts rushed out of the water, spreading their wings and flying towards the sky.

"Attack!!" Zan Yan waved his hand to give an attack command without saying a word.

"Yes!" The city defense army responded in unison, pulling the trigger of the crossbow in their hands immediately.

shhhhh???

The crossbow arrows flew out, and more than half of the crossbow arrows hit the two ghosts.

Bang bang bang! ! !

The moment the crossbow arrow hit the ghost's body, an explosion occurred, and a heat wave enveloped the ghost.

The explosive arrows fired by the city defense army were developed by Mu Liang, and after the first batch was produced, they were supplied to Sanguan Fortress.

- A burst of explosive arrows shot out, shooting the two ghosts into a sieve.

The virtual ghost screamed, and his body fell backwards.

Before waiting for the ghost to enter the water, the sea dragon beast came out, opened its mouth to bite the ghost, and dragged it into the sea.

Before long, the sea became calm and the battle ended as quickly as possible.

Underwater, at the Tianmen Tower.

Diane is still holding two empowering pearls in her hand. Before she can take it, the sea dragon beast has already solved all 3.6 parts of the virtual ghost.

"It's easy." Diane twitched the corners of her mouth, almost forgetting that Tianmen Tower was guarded by a holy beast.

The darkened sea water soon returned to normal, and the ghost ghost's body was dragged away by the sea dragon.

stomping on...

Gao Cao returned to Tianmen Tower and asked curiously, "Mr. Dai, is the ghost being eaten by a holy beast?"

Diane shook her head, "I don't know."

Gao Cao looked worried: "If the holy beast eats the ghost, will it be infected..."

"Continue to stay here, I will go to the Inner City Heights." Diane urged with a serious face. She was going to the highlands and explained what happened to Mu Liang.

"Yes, Director Dai, please rest assured." Gao Cao raised his hand and gave a military salute.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

ps: [1 update]: The second update of the positive code. .

1007: Youth forever. (2 more)

Heights, in the study.

Mu Liang leaned on the dragon chair, relaxed Erlang's legs, and listened to Yue Qinlan's report on the recruitment situation.

"This time, a total of 16,000 people were recruited from Burial Valley. Among them, there are more than 2,000 young and old, most of them are the families of the young and middle-aged." Yue Qinlan held the notepad and said item by item.

"Anyone who is more than 2,000 years old is acceptable." Mu Liang nodded slowly.

If only young adults are allowed to come to Xuanwu City, and their families are kept out, it will not win the hearts and minds of the people.

Besides, if the old man wants to work, he can still do some manual work, such as weaving baskets and pottery work.

Yue Qinlan said gracefully: "The sixteen thousand people have been settled in batches. When the buildings in the Acropolis are decorated, they will be arranged to go to the Acropolis."

"Well, you can arrange it." Mu Liang nodded.

He thought for a while, then instructed: "Do a good job of publicity, let them know that the laws and regulations of Xuanwu City are not decorations, you can grab a few thorns as a warning."

"Okay, I will arrange it." Yue Qinlan nodded and wrote it down.

"Is there anything else?" Mu Liang put down his crossed legs, sat up straight and looked at the elegant woman.

"There's one more thing, it's about the 24th guard branch of the patrol police in each acropolis." Yue Qinlan turned to the next page of the notebook in her hand.

The Acropolis is improving the infrastructure, among which the patrol division is very important to maintain order in the city.

"Eight people from the inner city patrol guards were transferred to the Acropolis, two from each Acropolis, to serve as the head and deputy head of the patrol division."

Mu Liang thought for a while and said, "Let's recruit some more people from the military camp to be patrol officers."

The position of the head of the patrol division is under the deputy guard, that is, the rank is lower than that of Cheng Mao, but higher than the rank of other patrol guards.

"This is equivalent to the promotion of eight people. It is better to conduct an assessment to select people." Yue Qinlan said with a serious face.

"Well, let Cheng Mao pick it up." Mu Liang said gently.

Yue Qinlan raised the corners of her lips and replied gracefully, "I understand."

Cheng Mao went from the sheriff to the current deputy guard of the patrol guard. As early as the reform of Xuanwu City, his position was also promoted several times, and he has the right to arrange the personnel of each patrol guard branch.

The chief and deputy chief of the patrol guards, the chief and deputy chief of the branch, the sergeant of the upper, middle and lower levels, and the patrol police of the first, second, and third levels.

A perfect promotion channel.

"Today's work has been reported." Yue Qinlan said, closing the notepad.

"It's been hard work recently." Mu Liang stretched out his hand, condensing a mass of life elements, covering the elegant woman.

Yueqin's blue water blue eyes flashed, and she said softly: "Fortunately, it's not heavy work."

Her body became extraordinarily relaxed, as if she had been washed inside and out.

"Recently, I found that my skin seems to be getting better." Yue Qinlan gently pinched the skin of I's cheeks.

Mu Liang explained:

"The element of life is part of the reason, and part of it is because of drinking the water from the tree of life.

"Water on the branch of life?"

Yue Qinlan asked in surprise, "Is drinking that water good for your skin?"

Mu Liang said softly: "Well, the water outside the Glass Palace, after being nurtured by the tree of life, that water is no longer ordinary water, it can keep people young."
