Chapter 114: Changes in the City

As we approached the evening, unconscious patients continued to be taken to various hospitals. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info There are men and women, old and young, with different physical conditions, and even the tunnels where they were found are different, and there is no direct commonality. The only thing that is the same is that they fell into a coma after suffering from some strange disease, and the fever did not go away.

The doctors tried all kinds of methods, but they couldn't do anything, and they didn't even know what the cause was.

Until a patient got up without warning, threw down the passer-by in front of him in full view, and bit the throat of the other party with his teeth, killing the other party. Looking at the blood all over the ground, the feeble moaning, and the biting of the chirp, the people around them fell into a stupor, and did not react from the shock.

It wasn't until the "patient" raised his face that everyone saw a face covered in blood and crispy meat on the corners of his mouth, and finally realized something.

"Eat...... Cannibalism! The madman has risen up and eaten people. ā€

There was a timid person who couldn't help but scream, and while waking up the people around him, he also alarmed the "patient". The other party dropped the corpse in his hand and threw down the speaker with incredible speed, and the bloody scene was staged again.

Two passers-by were killed one after another, and no matter how stupid a person was, he knew that staying where he was looking for death and left screaming. However, whoever is louder will be the first to attack those strange "patients".

The terrible thing is that there are dozens of patients with the same symptoms in the hospitals, and they get up one after another and attack the people around them desperately. Many unsuspecting or unaware passers-by bore the brunt of the attack, most of them were bitten to death, and even those who were lucky enough to escape were killed.

After that, the bitten person actually came back to life, got up from the ground, and joined the crazy "party". The whole hospital was full of panic fleeers, and the dead and blood stains could be seen in the corridors and rooms.

Most of the people who come to the hospital are sick people, more or less immobile, and some are even unable to move at all. But once they were bitten to death by these living dead, they not only came back to life, but all the previous problems and obstacles were gone, and as time went by, their movement speed was even faster than that of ordinary people.

Similar scenes are still playing out in many places, and strangely, all of them are happening in places where large numbers of people gather. After the outbreak of the epidemic, ordinary people who were caught off guard only thought that someone was making trouble and didn't pay much attention to it. When the surroundings became more and more noisy, and they realized that something was wrong, the disaster snowballed and got bigger and bigger, to the point of no control.

There were outbreaks of the epidemic in various parts of the second line of defense almost at the same time, and people did not know that this was the first symptom of mutating into strange ghosts, and by the time the government realized that things were not right, things were out of control, and there were strange ghosts everywhere, the basic command system was paralyzed, and there were people fleeing.

In the governor's yamen, Shen Kaikang was busy with all kinds of alarm communications, the communicators in the office were burst, and all kinds of communicators rang non-stop. As the director here, his communicator is rarely turned on, and once there is, it is a big deal. But today, the sound has not stopped since the first sound.

"There is definitely a problem, it is impossible to have so many accidents for no reason, what about the army? Where is the army? Does Wangfu know that? ā€

Suddenly, a patrol officer rushed into Shen Kaikang's office and shouted: "The head is not good, those crazy people have become a click!" ā€

"What!" Shen Kaikang took the case. "How is this possible, the strange ghost has not appeared for nearly twenty years, and it is just a matter of appearing, why does it appear in the city?"

No matter how unreasonable things are, they have already happened, and no amount of denial will help.

Taking a deep breath, Shen Kaikang forced himself to calm down: "Notify everyone to return to the team immediately, and at the same time inform the masses to hide in their homes, lock the doors and windows and reinforce them, and don't go out." Although the strange ghosts are terrifying, it is still difficult for them to easily break through the door, the army and the government will immediately send someone to rescue them, and the advertisement will go down, and going out now will only add unnecessary sacrifices. ā€

"Yes."

Being able to be the director of the yamen in the county town of Qingyun County, Shen Kaikang certainly has real talent and learning, he has been a soldier, has fought battles, killed people, and fought against strange ghosts twenty years ago, although he was still very young at that time, it did not prevent him from knowing more and calming than the subordinates present.

"Open the armory and distribute the weapons inside."

After receiving Shen Kaikang's order, the officials couldn't wait to open the warehouse and distribute the heavy weapons inside, mainly mechanical crossbows and hand-drawn rifled guns. Compared to the types used in the army, the mechanical crossbows used by the officials were inferior in terms of loading arrows and power. Manual rifled guns don't autoload ammo and are slower, but that doesn't mean they can't kill Wraiths.

Shen Kaikang asked people to distribute weapons while loudly ordering explanations.

"Boys, listen up, don't give me heroes, the strangers are not ruffians or outlaws, they attack like crazy, they will not be afraid, but you only have one life, I don't want to see any of you hurt, because that means I will personally make up for it and send you on your way, so check my weapons and equipment."

"Check your armor, gloves! Put an iron piece in your wrist! Get me a blast shield with a lot of strength! Don't underestimate the wraith's strength, even if it looks like an old woman, it can easily bite you to pieces, unless she's toothless. ā€

"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed loudly, and even though it sounded very contrived, they laughed out loud, and now only in this way could they hide their inner turmoil.

"That's it! Grab your weapons and bring as much ammo as you can, I don't know how many wraiths I'll encounter along the way. Leave some of them for me to defend me, and some of them come with me! ā€

Shen Kaikang's primary target is the Martial Arts Alliance Guild, where there are the main forces of the four major alliances, and with their help, whether it is manpower or weapons and equipment, they can provide support. He believed that as long as it wasn't for the influx of strange ghosts into the city, the situation would soon be under control, and each family would have the ability to protect themselves, and besides, there were some high-end places that were suspended independently, and the strange ghosts couldn't go up at all. Send civilians up, the strangers will not pose a threat, and without new strangers to join, it will be a matter of time before they are quelled, depending on how much is lost in the process.

The patrols, fast arrests, government servants, errand servants, etc. in the county add up, and it is no problem to say less than 10,000 people. Although there are not many scattered within the second wall, it is enough to see when gathered. Shen Kaikang managed about 3,000 people in the southern district, and in a short period of time, he only gathered 700 people. Leaving 300 people to fortify the yafu to rescue the refugees, the remaining about 400 people marched briskly under his leadership.

No matter how you say it, they are all trained officials, and most of them are in the middle and late stages of the Yellow Extreme Realm, and a very few have reached the Great Perfection of the Yellow Extreme Realm. Only Shen Kaikang, he and a few small bosses reached the early and middle stages of the Xuanji Realm.

[The number of people is still a little less, and when you encounter a group of strange ghosts, you must not touch it. 怑

Feeling the surrounding atmosphere, Shen Kaikang was always unsure.

"Click! Click! Click! ā€

A terrifying roar came from not far away, and Shen Kaikang immediately motioned for everyone to stop.

"Hu Hechang, you take fifty people to guard behind us to prevent strange ghosts from appearing behind us."

"Yes!"

"The others disperse, pay attention to the surrounding situation, don't rush to attack when you see the ghosts, first confirm the number of ghosts around, we will solve the number of ghosts if there are not many of them, and we will bypass them if there are too many of them."

"Yes!" xn

After all, they have all participated in the task of capturing and encircling and suppressing, and everyone moves lightly and cooperates tacitly. Soon a patrol spotted a group of strange spirits, who were lying on the ground and eating corpses. As a result, a servant had never seen such a terrifying and disgusting picture, and vomited directly.

A large number of wraiths were alarmed, and they began to run in the direction where the group were.

Due to the scattered servants and limited firepower, they could not deal with a large group of strange ghosts, and the leading officials immediately ordered: "Retreat!" Go back! Tell your grown-ups that the strange ghost is coming! ā€

When the pathfinders ran back, Shen Kaikang had already organized his manpower and was waiting for them. The first time he saw the strange ghost appear, the mechanical crossbow began to shoot. Thin arrows sliced through the air at great speed, piercing the wraith's skin. When a human encounters such an attack, it is absolutely killing on the spot, but the strange ghost only pauses and continues to charge.

"Steady shooting! Don't mess around! Shoot at their heads and orange hearts! ā€

No matter how hard Shen Kaikang tried, it was difficult for ordinary officials to maintain their normal hearts in the face of the charge launched by a large number of strange ghosts, almost half of the people here had never killed anyone, and they usually only maintained law and order, dealt with disputes and other daily chores. It's not the quick arrests or patrols that arrest the key criminals, and it's not the city guards.

"Concentrate on shooting in the middle, don't let the strange ghost get close, and pay attention to finding cover."

After all, he hadn't been a soldier for many years, and Shen Kaikang usually just ordered his subordinates to do it, waiting for the results. Who would have thought that he would stay on the front line with his men today, he deliberately wanted to stay in the rear, but now his morale is low, and sudden changes will disrupt the current position. If he can't do his best to save it, in the end, his subordinates will suffer heavy casualties, and he will be safe, and the court will have to use him as a scapegoat in order to calm the people's grievances.

Even considering the situation in terms of the worst scenario he could think of, Shen Kaikang found that he still underestimated the seriousness of the situation.

"There's a ghost on the wall!"

Someone shouted, and the person who heard it immediately subconsciously turned the crossbow mouth to aim at the strange ghost on the wall, and in the blink of an eye, the strange ghost on the wall was beaten into a hedgehog and nailed to the wall. But in this way, the firepower to suppress the middle lane suddenly became smaller, and the ghosts did not slow down, and in this gap, they approached further, and the officials standing at the front could clearly see the hideous expressions on the faces of the ghosts.

"Ahh I don't want to die! ā€

Finally, some people can't face the fear of death and choose to run away. Shen Kaikang looked at it and sighed in his heart!

"It's over! The formation is going to collapse, and we can't hold it! ā€

In the face of the strange ghosts that were close at hand, the ordinary officials panicked, and they were not high in the first place, but now they were even worse, nervously pulling the trigger, regardless of the shooting, until all the arrows were consumed, they still only pulled the trigger and refused to let go. It's a pity that the strange ghosts who are not attacked in the fatal place can't die, even if their bodies are pierced, they are still safe.

The contingent of officials urgently formed was gradually approaching the brink of defeat.
