Chapter 68: The Girl
Wella was looking for a pendant, and from her staccato narration, everyone had a rough idea of the ins and outs of Bedtown.
The ancient building was destroyed, and the townspeople were very sad, but life still had to go on, so a large number of craftsmen began the reconstruction project under the command of the mayor.
Originally, it was just a simple individual incident, but the subsequent development was beyond everyone's expectations. I don't know when a series of changes have been heard in the town. At first, it was just a riot of nearby monsters, running to attack passers-by; Then the clergy of the church discovered that the grave in the town had been dug up, and the bones inside were missing.
The most horrific thing is that all the graves have been ripped open from the inside, and there are scratches on the inside of the coffin lid, as if the corpse crawled out on its own.
Rumors of the living dead began to appear in the town, and at first everyone laughed at them as crazy gossip, but as the number of missing bodies proliferated, more and more people had witnessed the living dead. Many attentive people found that the vast majority of the living dead were actually townspeople who were sleeping in the backyard of the church.
There was a panic in the peaceful town, and a large number of residents tried their best to flee the place, but in order to calm the situation, the authorities blocked various channels of information and secretly sent additional Janissaries to exterminate it.
But as time passed, the number of the living dead continued unabated, and many of the soldiers who died in battle were also dominated by unknown forces and slowly transformed into the living dead. Seeing that the comrades-in-arms who used to fight side by side have become indifferent and ghostly, many soldiers have lost confidence in the confrontation, which has had a very great negative impact on the morale of the army.
In the end, we fall into an endless vicious circle.
The cathedral zombies besieged the city, and Wella, who was chased by the living dead, fell to the ground and fainted in the process of escaping, so she was able to escape, but she woke up to find that she was the only one left. The zombies on the periphery had been wandering, and she was trapped in a small room. What broke her heart the most was that the pendant her mother gave her was gone.
"My mother died when I was very young, and the pendant was the only memorial she left me, I ...... I ......" With that, Wella buried her face in her palms and twitched.
"Don't worry, I'll help you find the pendant." Heywood, who also lost his mother at a young age, felt the same way, and he hurriedly spoke of relief, and at the same time glanced at the man who had been following him with disdain, "I'm not as cold-blooded as some people. ”
"Cold-blooded people" twitched twice, the scales on their arms looming, and they pondered whether to kill the other party directly.
"Thank you." Wella burst into tears and laughed.
"It's okay, it's okay, we should help each other." Heywood was in a good mood, while Raphael, who was beside him, had a dark face and seemed to be going crazy at any moment.
Rolling his eyes in the face of Heywood's childish behavior, Du Yuhan turned his head sideways and whispered to Kevin, "You say this woman is weird?" ”
Kevin glanced at the girl's slender shoulder again, "I feel a very powerful energy in her, but there is no breath of living spirit. ”
"Could it be the living dead?"
Kevin thought for a moment and shook his head, "Not really." ”
Du Yuhan touched the back of his neck, even Kevin didn't know what it was, so he didn't understand it even more. He poked his finger at the hairball on top of his head, "Where the hell do you want to take us?" ”
"Squeak!" The hairball rubbed Du Yuhan's outstretched fingers.
"It's useless to be coquettish."
"Squeak!"
Just as one person and one ball were mixing with each other, Kevin's eye swept an object out of the corner of his eye.
"Huh?" He hurriedly squinted, and instantly pulled Du Yuhan's arm in ecstasy, "Han, look! ”
Du Yuhan followed Kevin's finger and looked, in the boulder pile not far away, there was a half-broken stone totem, the stone statue was about half a human height, and many strange patterns were carved on it. In the shadow of the weeds, a little broken silver-blue was found.
What's that?
When he looked closer, he saw a small spring in the withered yellow bushes, from which a stream of silver-blue water was bubbling up, and from time to time many bubbles were gushing. Unlike the springs I've seen before, this one is very viscous and covered with tiny bubbles, which look more like some kind of jelly-like gelatinous object. Du Yuhan squatted down and dipped his fingers a little closer, and sniffed, the cold liquid actually had a kind of medicinal fragrance.
This spring water is so special...... Spring?
Du Yuhan was stunned, his face was full of ecstasy, and he hurriedly turned his head to Kevin to confirm, "Spring water?" ”
Kevin smiled and nodded.
Maya, the spring of the Giant Spirit Spring! Isn't this the material for the preliminary round of the modeler contest?
For a while, he was patronizing to learn to extract elements, and then he was so overwhelmed by the things in Beetown that he almost forgot about it.
Du Yuhan didn't say a word, took out an empty bottle and filled it with a large bottle, carefully sealed it with a tarpaulin, and carefully put it into the space ring. Caressing the ring on his hand, he smiled contentedly and hurried to follow the group.
I didn't return empty-handed on this trip, and I had to prepare for the competition when I went back.
Well...... What kind of model do you want to make?
*******
I don't know if it's daytime, they didn't even see a single living dead on the way, and under the leadership of the girl, several people came to a ruined rubble. After a long turn, he stood near a large pit.
Judging from the long wooden chairs that are still undamaged, it looks like a main hall used by worshippers. The area of the main hall is very large, the depth of the front and back is hundreds of square meters, but the towering walls around it have been demolished and scattered, and the place where the statue of the god of light was originally placed has been smashed out of a deep pit with a diameter of more than ten meters wide.
The pit was very deep, and it was dark inside, but occasionally a few rays of blue-blue energy rushed out of it like a snake, quickly radiating in all directions. A lot of rubble was blasted out around the pit, and some of the lighter stones and dust were suspended in mid-air by the powerful energy of the ground, and occasionally twitched a few times with the fluctuation of energy.
"This is it?" Du Yuhan looked around, and there was a dead silence in the main hall. He sniffed hard, and there was a very strange smell in his nose, not like an ordinary corpse smell, but more like the smell of some kind of gasoline.
Wella nodded, "I don't quite remember how it happened, but I remember being hit by someone while running away near the main hall...... The pendant must have fallen right then! Please, that pendant is very important to me! Please help me find it! ”
"Don't worry, we'll help you. You take a break in your chair first, and you'll be fine soon. With that, Heywood rolled up her sleeves and began to rummage slowly, and Wella hurriedly bent down to look for it in other corners.
Seeing this, a few other people who were reluctant also stepped forward to help. Now that you're here, it's not too bad to look for it.
Beneath the shattered wooden beams and stones, several highly decomposed corpses were pressed, but nothing was found except cockroaches, rats, maggots, and insects. Wella felt very anxious, although she didn't know why she was so attached to the necklace, but there was a voice in her heart that kept urging her, and she kept muttering, "Where is it?" Where is it? I have to find it! ”
As Kevin flipped over a charred corpse, a golden glow flashed around his neck. He pinched it up and brushed away the dust from it, revealing a copper-yellow pendant.
"Found it." Kevin raised his head and shouted, and just as he turned the body over and was about to remove the pendant, his subordinates paused, "Huh? ”
"Found it? Did you find it?! Hearing Kevin's call, everyone else moved closer to this side, and Wella was the fastest, she lifted her skirt and didn't care about the debris under her feet, and rushed towards Kevin.
Seeing Wei Na kneeling happily beside her, eagerly pulling the corpse, Kevin stared at the other party, pulled Du Yuhan to quickly take a few steps back, and flipped over the seal with both hands, a divine energy was ready to go.
"Kevin, what's wrong?" He was very puzzled by his lover's behavior, Du Yuhan turned his head to look, and found that Heywood, who wanted to join in the fun, was also protected by Raphael, who was vigilantly watching Wella's every move.
How is this?
"Found it! The pendant is here! Wella smiled as she held the necklace in both hands, and she couldn't help but kiss the pendant several times. But when she looked back and wanted to express her gratitude, she found that everyone was far away from her, "You guys...... What's wrong with you guys? ”
Raphael pursed her thin lips and said nothing, Kevin looked at her unaware appearance, and his half-lowered eyes covered the unbearable under his eyes: "You should go." ”
"What?" Wella was stunned.
Kevinjun's face was tense, his eyes stared at the panicked girl, the sacred elements around him resounded violently, and the whole person looked solemn. "I'm sorry for that, but it's time for your soul to leave this world."
The rest of the people couldn't help but breathe when they heard this, and everyone's eyes fell on Wella.
Wella was very surprised, and felt at a loss, she laughed dryly, "You, what are you talking about?" What soul? Am I not standing here alive? With that, she touched her chest with her hand to calm the sharp heartbeat, but there was a dead silence under her hands.
She couldn't help but be stunned.
What about the heartbeat? What about her heartbeat?
Wella looked around at everyone in a panic, and when she saw that their eyes were all focused on her feet, she quickly looked down. There was a corpse lying at his feet, charred and blackened by the devouring of the great life, but a small part of his head had survived, still maintaining the horror and despair before death. Although it was highly decomposed, some of the deceased's basic physical features could still be discerned.
That face looks exactly like her.
Wella was shocked.
"This ...... The God of Light is above...... This is...... I?! She screamed in shock, and the pendant fell to the ground and shattered with a thud.
