The mutation happened too quickly.

A weak woman, in the blink of an eye, has become a devouring monster.

Before everyone could move, the woman swallowed the flesh in her mouth, opened the bloody mouth again, and with a crunching sound, the second bite directly opened the other party's throat. A large amount of blood bubbled out of the sergeant's mouth, and his limbs twitched, blood splattered on the ground beneath him.

Alfonso reacted first, he sat up from the ground and took a few steps forward, his greatsword slashing a spark on the stone on the ground, and the blade swung a perfect half-moon slash from the bottom up. The cold light of the sword shadow, the red splash of blood, the monster's head flew into the air.

With the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, the camp regained its calm.

A church guard crawled to the sergeant's side, and the other party's weaker breathing and gradually cold body made him turn around and shake his head.

With a faint sigh, Alfonso slowly walked over to the monster's corpse, his servants following him.

Walton kicked the body that had lost his head, tilted his head and asked his companion, "Leslie, as far as you are concerned, is this woman a xenomorph?"

The boy with the red stripe on his forehead knelt down on one knee to check it, thought for a moment and said, "No." ”

The knight, armed with a broadsword, found the woman's severed head in the camp and turned it over on tiptoe. Todd leaned over and saw something strange at the junction of the cervical vertebrae by the light of the surrounding fire. There was not only blood and nerve fluid, but there seemed to be something pale black. Curious, he squatted down, took a closer look, and after seeing what it was, he suddenly stepped back with a numb scalp.

What kind of pale black liquid is that, it is clearly a myriad of black insects, condensed together!

Leslie walked behind Todd and saw this with a look of surprise on her face. I saw him walk up to the knight and whisper something hurriedly.

The priest got a little closer, and heard the words "puppet" and "relief society".

With his sword behind his back and his body facing the town, Alfonso said to his men, "Stay here and guard the carriage." ”

Hearing this, Walton, a short and fat man, and Adelina, a woman in white robes, immediately objected: "Chief, we are going too!"

"You can't help. The knight shifted his steps, only to find Leslie in front of him.

"What about me? I can always help. ”

After thinking for a moment, the man hidden behind the iron mask nodded and agreed to the boy's request.

To his surprise, Todd and Karin came to his side, asking to accompany him, perhaps remembering something, and finally he agreed to follow him.

A group of four, packing their bags, walked out of the camp gates, and walked towards the town, drowned in flames and wailing.

If they hadn't been here once, Todd and Karin would never have recognized it again, but the scene in front of them actually belonged to the town of Overwatch, which was famous for its tourism and food.

Falling tables and chairs clogged the town's roads, and the scorching heat set the quiet garden on fire. Pools of dark red blood and scattered human remains on the ground remind visitors that a tragedy had happened not long ago.

Along the way, I couldn't hear anyone's voice, but I couldn't see anyone. The street was eerily quiet, except for the crackling of flames, the only sound in the background.

After a few turns down the alley and a five-minute walk up an uphill road, the tall and majestic figure of the Overwatch appeared in the distance at the end of the town.

"If we can get there and find the defenders inside, we'll be relatively safe. Todd said to the others.

Hush!

Alfonso suddenly put his finger to his lips and motioned for everyone to look up.

Karin turned to the side and looked up at the side of the road, gasping and widening her eyes at the sight before her.

A corpse was hung on a tree like stored food, and two bloodied people squatted on the branches, burying their heads in the chest and abdomen of the corpse, and the piercing gnawing and swallowing sounds were terrifying.

Taking a step back, the knight was going to find another way around here. Only to find the priest behind him, he patted himself on the shoulder and pointed to the sides of the team.

Above and below the ramp, two slow-moving groups of infected people arrived, sandwiching a team of four in the middle.

The danger approached, causing Todd's temples to flutter.

Besieged!

Alfonso turned around and began to check the terrain around him. A small commercial street built on a hillside cliff road, with trees planted along the cliff on one side and a row of sturdy houses on the other, there is nowhere to retreat and nowhere to hide.

Turning to the door of the nearest house, he touched the building panels of the house with his hand, the walls were a mixture of brick and stone, and the door was made of hard pine. He took a few steps back and aimed one shoulder at the gate, a run-up and a dash. The loud crash echoed throughout the street, and the hut shook slightly from the impact.

But!

The door TM didn't even get knocked open!

Todd looked through the crack in the door and finally understood why, behind the door, a bolt made of steel was embedded in the wall and back of the door, firmly holding the door panel.

Isn't the priest speechless, didn't he say that people in the past were all untouched and never closed their doors at night? ! What does it mean to put such a big iron rod behind the door?!

The sound of the door slamming on the door caught the attention of the monsters, and one roar after another rang out all around. The enemies on both sides of the road sped up, and the two guys who were feeding in the trees also jumped down and pounced on the team, and the situation gradually developed in the worst direction.

Alfonso clenched the big sword in his hand and began to count the number of monsters, the enemy was about fifty, although the action was not fast, if it was besieged head-on, it was definitely not a good thing.

Karin in the team, looking at the scene in front of her, bit her lip, suddenly took out the dagger from her arms, and chiseled wildly on the door panel, drilling a small hole two centimeters in size.

Immediately understanding what she wanted to do, Todd's hand grabbed the girl's clothes, and as soon as he shouted the word "no", the girl disappeared in the doorway, and the sound of a stone falling to the ground came from the other end of the door. After a few moments, the heavy door opened.

Alfonso and Leslie looked first at the open door, then at Karin.

The first thing Todd did when he walked into the house was to protect the girl behind him, while looking warily at the papal knight and his attendants.

To his surprise, the two belonging to the Inquisition did not ask any questions, as if nothing had happened just now, and turned around and plugged in the latch.

Soon, the infected swarmed in, slapping and banging on the doors and walls. The four of them had their backs outwards and their faces inward, stubbornly resisting the only barrier in front of them.

After another two or three minutes, there was a sound outside the house that sounded like the wild howl of a beast, deafening and piercing through the clouds and cracking stones.

The infected outside stopped their form and stopped attacking.

The floor beneath his feet began to tremble, and the wooden beams of the roof fell dust.

A humanoid creature nearly two meters tall walked slowly from the far side of the street, and as he passed the house, he approached the door of the team's hideout and stopped. The space inside the room suddenly darkened, and the light of the moon and flames was blocked by the huge monster outside the door.

After a moment's pause, the humanoid departed and walked in the direction of the Watch Castle, the bright red flesh on his back, occasionally with a vibration similar to a rattlesnake's tail swinging.

Those who were stagnant and infected moved their bodies again, and followed closely behind, walking into the distance.
