Chapter 111: The Long Night (Part 1)
When the six figures suddenly appeared in the garden of the Red Devil Pavilion, the various monster servants and fairy maids present were all temporarily stunned. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
However, they soon found out that they all knew the person who came, and the one who started was their own.
"Ah, it feels so good to be home!"
Nalan stood on his hips and took a deep breath. Immediately afterwards, he frowned again and said:
"What does this smell like?"
His gaze wandered around, eventually landing on a large pile of decomposing corpses in the corner of the wall. As corpses, they were still too badly decomposed, most of them were white bones with rags and rotten flesh, as if they had been dead for months and had been gnawed by wild beasts, and the smell was simply stinking. Only some of the bodies were still intact, only the heads had been mutilated, and most of the rest had been chopped to pieces, arms and legs piled on top of each other to form a small mountain. Even the red bricks and green grass around were stained black by the filthy juice that flowed from the corpse.
Yes, it was jet black, and it was a little greasy, and the bird knew what age the pile of corpses was, and what came out of it was not blood at all, but a foul-smelling and sticky black juice like oil, which stuck to the body and estimated that it would not be washed clean for a month.
"About that, eighty...... No, hundreds of dead corpses......" Nalan Yu stood in the distance, staring at the mountain of corpses, and estimated in his heart. Then he stopped the two fairy maids who had passed by him, pointed to the mountain of corpses, and commanded:
"You two, go to the house and get a piece of rag clothes that are ready to be thrown away, and then set the pile of corpses on fire, and when you light the fire, you will be careful to slip through the net!"
"Okay, Lord Nalan!"
The two maids, smiling as usual, jumped away as if they had been tasked with serving tea and water and wiping the floor. This attitude was so relaxed that Nalan Hao was suspicious in her heart, and she always felt that they would give the house to the house with a shake of their hands.
"It's impossible, it's not Fran, how could it be so reckless......" He comforted himself with the thought, and then turned to face the five girls who still hadn't figured out what was going on.
"Alright, children, I know you have a lot of questions in your minds, and I'll just pick out the key points for the time being. He clapped his hands and said loudly, "The pile of corpses over there, I think you noticed it the first time you came here." That's the enemy we're going to face tonight!"
"Enemies?" Reimu asked, puzzled, "just that, I thought they had been dead for at least two hundred years." ”
"No, no, no, they were alive and kicking two hours ago. If you give them another chance, they will swarm and peel your flesh off the bone. ”
"It's a zombie again, huh, why do I say 'again'?" Reimu crossed her hands across her chest, a look of disdain on her face.
"Yes, zombies again. They are ruthless, fearless of death, and have an eternal quest for the flesh and blood of the living, and will pounce on you one after another until you destroy them all, or be wiped out by them. ”
"After getting out of here," Nalan Twilight pointed to the gate of the Red Devil Pavilion not far away, "there is no safe zone, the devil knows what is hidden in the forest, I hope everyone can pay attention and don't capsize in the gutter." ”
"You seem to know a lot about what's going on here, zombie?safe zone?" Yuuka looked at Nalan Twilight with her red eyes, only to hear her ask:
"Tell me, when did you find out about this?"
In fact, she had already vaguely sensed something when Nalan Twilight began to become impatient. But she didn't say a word, or rather, there was no need to expose the matter at that time.
But now, she felt that there were some things that had to be said in front of everyone.
"Just last night, after all, this was the beginning of the fight. Nalan Hao said, beckoning to a man in black who was holding a small hammer and iron nails in the distance, knocking in front of the window of the main building of the Red Devil Pavilion, and shouted:
"Suzuki, come here, I'm looking for you!"
When the guy heard his voice, he was stunned for a moment, and then he hurried over, not even having time to put down the tools in his hand.
"Mr. Nalan, and all of you......" Goro Suzuki said with sincere fear when he saw Nalan Twilight, "When did you come back?"
"Just now. Nalan replied. Then he said to the five maidens:
"This thing, Goro Suzuki, I don't bother to talk about the specifics, anyway, you know he's a vampire who came in from outside. I had a small bbit of blood stored on his body, and as long as I used this blood to invade his nervous system, I could get his audiovisual signals. He can also be a teleportation point if necessary, which is why we can fly here directly from the ship. ”
"Your abilities are really powerful, aren't they?" Yuka said with a smile when she heard this.
"No," Nalan waved his hand, "I'm just good at application. ”
"Suzuki!" he said to Goro again, "Explain to them a little bit what those guys are up to." ”
He was referring to the group of servants standing in front of the main building of the Red Devil Pavilion. Most of them were short, winged fairy maids, while the rest were taller, horned, or fur-covered, and were youkai assistants that Remilia had summoned from somewhere. The gang were all armed with small hammers, and were nailing thick and thin planks to the windows one by one, and they were very busy.
"Ah, do you mean that?" Goro said, raising his hand and shaking the hammer in his hand, "We're rebuilding our fortifications right now to withstand the next wave of corpses. Due to the lack of manpower, Miss Remilia also specially recruited a group of wandering monsters from the nearby forest, allowing them to stay in the Red Devil Pavilion during the mutation, but they must participate in the defense together. ”
"Wait, wait," Reimu interrupted him with a pause gesture, "Zombie tide, mutations, just plain little zombies, what are you talking about? What happened in Gensokkyo when I wasn't there?"
"Well, what's going on......" Goro touched the back of his head, looking a little embarrassed, "Where to start?"
"It's good to talk about it from your own point of view. Shotimaru was carrying a thick notebook in his arms, but his expression was more serious than before.
"Probably from last night......," Goro recounted slowly, "At that time, there were some suspicious figures shaking outside the Red Devil Pavilion, so Miss Sakiya asked me to check it out. ”
"I walked in and saw that it was a bunch of zombies. As soon as they saw me, they pounced on me in despair. Although I immediately eliminated them, after that, more and more zombies began to pour in from all directions, surrounding the Red Devil Pavilion, and launching wave after wave of attacks in an orderly manner, and almost broke the Red Devil Pavilion gates several times. ”
"During the day, they hide in the shadows of the trees and disappear, but they don't disappear. Now, the second night is approaching, and their activity is becoming more frequent. ”
"I don't know what happens elsewhere, but I've heard that the Japanese side is also under siege by a massive zombie moiety, with heavy casualties. It seems that people killed by zombies will also be resurrected as zombies, so in areas where humans gather, the situation is much worse than here. ”
Hearing this, the faces of the two human girls, Reimu and Marisa, immediately turned gloomy. Marisa, in particular, pressed the brim of her hat low, hiding the part above the bridge of her nose in the shadows so that people could not see it, but her teeth were biting her lip tightly, and this action completely revealed her mood at this time.
"Thank you, Suzuki. Nalan nodded and said, "Now, you can go back to work." Now that the next wave of corpses is coming, you'll have to work harder. ”
"Yes. ”
Suzuki half-bowed and ran back to his post. The six people who remained in place looked at each other, all had something to say, and they didn't want to be the first to speak, and the sound of banging and shouting around them surrounded them, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.
"Well, I'll go first!" was Marisa who was the first to break the silence, "Now that I've been attacked, I'll have to go back and see, after all, my family is there!"
After she finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Reimu.
"You're stupid, you dare to run out without a broom!" Reimu yelled at her, "Gensokkyo is full of zombies now, what if you go out and get surrounded?"
"Ahh
Marisa patted her head and realized that she had just wanted to hike through the treacherous Enchanted Forest and run all the way back to the village. Her broom broke some time ago when she was competing with Sakiya for speed and furious, and now she's just an ordinary girl with a powerful single-shot weapon.
"I'm sorry," Marisa blushed and lowered her head, "I was impulsive and worried you." ”
"Really," Reimu grumbled angrily, "When will you change your hot head!"
Then, to Marisa's surprise, Reimu did not persuade her to stay in the Red Devil Pavilion for refuge, but leaned up and grabbed her arm, and said to Alice:
"Alice, you're in charge of the other side. ”
"Uh-huh, okay. ”
At first, Alice looked confused, but she quickly grasped Reimu's meaning and reached out to grasp Marisa's other arm.
"Eh, what are you doing here, isn't that good?"
Marisa looked nervous, apparently unable to guess Reimu's purpose. Although she also yearns for the life of hugging left and right, now is obviously not the time, and Xianglin is not by her side.
"I warn you, I already have someone in my heart!"
"I really don't know what you're going to have in your head," Reimu said as she glared at Marisa with retarded eyes, "Have all the intelligence you should have been assigned to this strange place?"
"So, then what are you doing here! All of a sudden, it's so close, it's not very good for three girls to pull and pull in this big court, right?"
"What are you doing, what else can you do if I stop you? Damn, even if I stop you, will you be able to sit still? Rather than leaving you here as a time bomb, you might as well just take it away!"
"Ahh
Hearing this, Marisa suddenly realized, knocked on her palm, and said:
"If you can sit still, it's impossible to sit still!
"Alright, stop talking nonsense, hold on tight and get ready to go!"
Marisa...... Hello stinky ......."
"It's too much, Alice, even my dad never disliked me, twice!"
So, Reimu and Alice were in charge of one side, and the two of them rose into the air together, steadily lifting Marisa up, and just like that, they flew farther and farther away in laughter. I really hope they can maintain this optimistic attitude when they fight.
"Ah, gone. Yuxiang covered the light with her hand, looked at the three figures that were gradually fading away in the full sunset red, and said.
As soon as her words fell, another gust of wind rose, and when she looked up, she saw Shotimaru flapping her wings, and suddenly she was even higher than the Red Devil Pavilion.
"I still have to go back to the Monster Mountain, so I won't accompany you, you two have a slow chat!"
She shouted these words, and the volume of each word was lower than the previous one, and when the last "ah" word reached the ears of the two from the distant clouds, her figure had completely disappeared.
"Another one!"
The fragrance is still the same, and he said in a plain tone like a garden sightseeing.
"What about you?" Nalan asked her, "Why don't you go home and have a look?"
"Well," Yuka nodded, "it's time to go back, Ligrau is staying at home alone, and she must be trembling with fear now." ”
"After all, without me, it still won't work!"
She smiled lightly, put the straw hat on her back to the top of her head, slowly turned around, and left.
Nalan stood still, silently watching her figure disappear into the dark and deep enchanted forest in the distance. With her departure, the last rays of daylight on the horizon also fell below the horizon, and the earth fell into complete darkness.
The day is over, and the long night begins.
"It looks like it's going to be a long night. ”
Nalan Twilight looked at the sky, the fading sunset, and muttered to himself.
