Chapter 123: Landing in Tsukikicho: Novella

"The smell is worse than the smell of decomposing corpses, I heard that the church in Tsukiki Town has been abandoned for decades, but the patients who were forcibly quarantined last time to avoid being hunted down by the army of the Sage Town government have fled here to take refuge. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

A tall sailor took a flashlight around the corner to inspect it, covering his nose with his hand and frowning as he did so.

"Could it be that these patients have already died here, and then they were pulled out by the army of the Star Town Government and the nameless tombstone was disposed of casually, it was really terrifying, and the thought of spending it here tonight really gave me goosebumps. The other small, small-eyed sailor said.

"You two don't spread rumors here, although there are indeed some Pandora virus patients who have taken refuge here before, but they have been thoroughly disinfected, and although the nameless tombstone outside is indeed a person buried with Pandora virus, but it has been burned with disinfectant water and gasoline, and there is no claim that the virus leaked, so don't say that this is the source of infection, this statement is incorrect. ”

Alvin took a flashlight to inspect the empty cathedral, and after hearing the conversation between the two sailors, he couldn't help but accuse them.

"We know, Sergeant Bates. After being reprimanded by Alvin, the two sailors could only bow their heads and say.

"Follow me inside and check it out to see if it's safe. Alvin said to the sailors behind him.

"It's too dark here, help light the candles and oil lamps here, and see if there are any wild beasts hiding here, there was a violent storm outside, but there are a lot of mud marks on the door of the church, so you should be careful and check if there are any wild beasts hiding in the church. Alvin said, holding up a flashlight.

"Yes, Sergeant Bates, we see, let's go over there and check it out, there's a strong musty smell in there, go check it out. Said a sailor with black curly hair and dark skin.

Alvin held a flashlight and a pistol at the same time, checking step by step in the deep and dark church, because there was obviously no forest at the entrance of the church just now, but there were a lot of footsteps at the door of the church, which did not look like human footprints, but a little like the footprints of large beasts, it was really strange, obviously there was no forest near here, how could there be such huge footprints, it looked like compared with human footprints, it was indeed half the size, but if it was a large beast, those footprints were a little like humans, in short, there was a mysterious creature that entered the cathedral just nowAlvin had goosebumps when he thought of that huge footprint, before he was in the Navy during his internship training, he had gone to a very large forest for three months to survive the battle, those three months were simply hell on earth, all kinds of large creatures would rest on the way to the march, jump out from behind the trees, and then attack you with those very sharp claws and tough teeth like a table knife, that survival battle, when participating in the 3,000 soldiers, the result was that at the end of the training, 2,200 soldiers had been eliminated, and only 800 soldiers became candidates for promotionIt's a life-and-death combat training.

"Sergeant Bates, here's some white bones that haven't rotted yet, come and see, there's some beer and bread, and some lights, candles that haven't melted, you see, some weapons, like daggers, and shotguns, and a few boxes of bullets next to them. ”

A boatswain named George said.

Alvin walked over, picked up the flashlight, and carefully examined the ground, and found that this place was inhabited by people almost not long ago, and judging from the degree to which the beer and bread had become moldy, and the degree to which the candles had melted, it should be possible to deduce that the time was a month ago, and although the white bones on the ground were rotting in a large area, the skull had not completely rotted, which was really rare in such a hot and seaside place, but it may be due to the air quality in the church, after all, it was airtight, so it would cause the corpse to decompose more slowly。

Although there is no way to tell whether it is a man or a woman, judging from the dagger and shotgun next to it, this is a very old shotgun, with a large caliber and firepower, and according to his knowledge of the use of weapons, this shotgun should be used by a tall and strong man who is at least about 180 years tall.

This type of shotgun is rarely used now because of the old style, and basically no one uses this kind of shotgun in the army, and the dagger on the ground is a very sharp military thorn, and the style is not used by ordinary people, it looks more like a weapon in the army, in terms of design, it is a bit like the weapon of the Principality of Talia, which is very popular in the market, is it possible that this person's identity is a samurai or a bounty hunter hired by people.

But why does it appear in this kind of cathedral in the canyon of Tsukikicho, this church has been abandoned for many years, it was the refugees of the Pandora virus incident last month who fled here to take refuge, usually no one comes here to worship at all, and nearby is the small village of Tsukikicho, there is a small southern forest on the side of the small village, and the forest is inhabited by some outsiders who sometimes take refuge here because of boat crashes, maybe they are those outsiders who take refuge here temporarily, so there is reason to understand, but this should have nothing to do with the footprints at the door of the church outside。

Even if it is a man with a huge size, the footprints cannot be so large, the footprints at the door just now, it looks like they are about 70 yards, how can a normal person have such a large size, unless it is a giant or a giant ape, but the canyons near Yueji Town are rich in butterflies and the like, and the small forest in the south is also a very small forest, there can be no such creatures as giants or giant apes, it is really strange.

"Alvin, you've been inside for so long, have you found anything?The nobles outside are exhausted, is there anything new inside?" Cyril dialed Alvin's magic communicator.

"Report Lieutenant Ruyue, I found a footprint almost 70 yards in the door of the church, and I found a pile of white bones in the church that had not yet had time to rot, and there were some moldy beer and bread next to it, and an old shotgun, and a spur in the style of a military spur, I do not know any direct connection between the two. Alvin asked with a frown.

"The footprints of 70 yards are certainly not the footprints of ordinary people, I guess they belong to the Giants, but there are no such creatures as the Giants in our kingdom, I have heard that the northern forests of the Grand Duchy of Melperi are inhabited by the Giants, but I have never heard of the legend of the Giants entering our kingdom. ”

Cyril is also confused, in the entire Midgard continent, only the Grand Duchy of Mel Pomini has such a creature as the Giant Clan, and other countries have never heard of the existence of the Giant Clan, but if the Giant Clan enters the Eleto Kingdom, it will definitely be driven out by the kingdom's air force or naval forces, from the canyon and coast near Tsukiji Town, the Giant Clan that can enter Tsukiki Town can only be transported by sea transportation, but it will definitely be checked out by the navy on the spot.

"Alvin, if the current situation of the church is checked, we can go in, as for the matter of the giant's footprints you mentioned, let's put it aside for the time being, don't worry, wait a minute, there are still Major Dyers' naval units with us, they are fully armed, don't worry about the existence of any giants, isn't it." Cyril said.

"Okay, I see, I'm going to arrange for the sailors to do a little cleaning and light the candles, because it's so big and so dark that you can't see your fingers. ”

Alvin said with a frown.

"You help clean up the first floor, and take these rotten white bones to the nameless tombstone, otherwise those noble ladies will definitely be very unbearable, and after cleaning, we can rest here for a night." ”

Alvin said to the sailors.

After a brief cleaning, the inside of the cathedral looked much cleaner, and Cyril had arranged for the nobles to have a simple rest here, as well as to distribute food and drinking water, but because the cathedral had been abandoned for a long time, the pampered aristocratic ladies all frowned when they came in, and covered their noses with white handkerchiefs that smelled of perfume, because although it had been cleaned by Alvin and the sailors, it was in disrepair after all, and the original bright glass windows had partially faded, and the walls had begun to crackIn the dark corner, there were some small cockroaches and rats squirming, and some aristocratic ladies were so frightened that they didn't want to rest and spend a night here.

"The smell of the air is so bad, and there are so many little cockroaches and rats, it looks like a haunted house, how can we sleep here, let alone eat. Mademoiselle de Cartier said aloud with a frown, not at all in keeping with her elegant and noble image.

"It's like, I don't know how long no one has lived here, and it's full of small cockroaches and mice, and there are so many cobwebs in the corners, I'd really rather go back and stay on top of the lifeboat, it's hell on earth. Miss Anna, daughter of the Earl of Halsol, said in a coquettish voice.

"Please be quiet, young lady, I know you have a lot of opinions about this place now, but we can only rest here for one night tonight, you have no choice, I hope you can understand our current situation, can you?"

Cyril said patiently.

"Lieutenant Ruyue, can we come and distribute food now, there are already a lot of people here who are hungry. A pale and pale aristocratic man who was already hungry said.

"I'm sorry, you guys have a rest here, we will arrange for the distribution of food as soon as possible, Miss Kadil, Miss Harthor, please be considerate of us two, if it weren't for the desperation, we wouldn't be resting in this kind of place, I promise you, because many people here are very tired tonight, so we can't continue to hurry, after resting here tonight, we will go to the high-class hotel in Rose Town tomorrow morning to rest, because tomorrow morning there will be military planes coming to carry us。 ”

Cyril said with a strong spirit.

Most of the nobles have seen the Doris cruise ship hit the iceberg, and those nobles who refused to cooperate were swept into the sea by the giant squid, and they all disregarded their aristocratic status, just hoping that they could survive, even if it was a night in the wild.

"Alvin, why didn't you see Herok, where is she?" After a moment of panic, Cyril remembered his sister, Herok, who was already injured, and didn't know what was going on.

"There are too many people here, let's distribute food and drinking water first, and I'll contact Corporal Bills right away. Alvin said with a tired face, after the wreck of the Doris tonight, 150 nobles were swept into the sea by the giant squid, as well as the mysterious giant footprints here, the unknown large sea beast in the sea, maybe there are more unfortunate things to happen, so it's really a mess.

"First mate Banksy, you have someone to help distribute canned fruit and rice, as well as drinking water and cheese, and try to make food available to everyone. Alvin said to Banks' first mate.

"Okay, Sergeant Bates, I'll arrange it right away. First Officer Banksy nodded.

Alvin dialed Bills' magic communicator, but it never got through, it was strange, where was he going now, who was still on the deck of the Doris.

Alvin may not know that Bills's magic communicator accidentally fell into the ice-blue waters because he was carrying Herok on his back when he first landed on the shore, but Bills himself didn't know it.

Major Dyers brought a lot of food, including canned fruits, pineapples, yellow peaches, strawberries, oranges, and canned vegetables, dehydrated spinach, canned tuna, and a large box of drinking water, as well as cheese, canned beef, compressed biscuits, and cocoa drink powder, all of which were army food, so most of them were dehydrated and put in tinned iron cans, which belonged to the type of food that was quick and easy to carry.

"Hurry up and get food, there's canned fruit, there's canned vegetables, there's canned tuna, drinking water, and compressed biscuits. ”

Banksy shouted loudly.

The nobles were all overjoyed, finally had food to eat, they were all in the dusty cathedral, sitting on the ground, holding canned fruit and drinking water, but they didn't know how to open the canned fruit, especially the noble lady, all with slender jade hands smeared with bright red nail polish, but they didn't know how to open it, anxious and sweaty, all of them complained.

"Lieutenant Ruyue, how can these things be opened, and if they can't, how can we eat?" said the Duke of Kartier with a grumbling face.

"Major Dyers, everything here is canned, but none of them use cans, and there is no such tool as a can opener. Cyril asked with a sturgeed spirit.

"You have to wait a minute, I'll send someone inside the warship to see if there is a can opener. "Dyers hasn't slept all night, so even if you are in good shape, you can't help but feel like your eyes and eyelids are fighting.

"Sergeant Embling, you send someone to see if there is such a thing as a can opener inside the warship, by the way, let them also go ashore to rest, because we are responsible for the safety of the Tsukicho Cathedral tonight, after all, we are the only ones who can protect the safety here. ”

Major Dyers picked up the teleportator and spoke to Sergeant Embling.

"Okay, wait a minute, Major Dyers, I'll go to the ship and sort it out. Sergeant Emblin said, "Now that the giant squid has been repulsed, none of the nobles who were dragged down to the bottom of the sea by the giant squid have surfaced, which is really worrying.
