Chapter 104: Pink Mist
The abnormality on the city wall alarmed Luo Qiu, and Mobuck floated up against the big sun, only to see that there was chaos on the city wall, and most of the guards who had shrunk their heads were gone, and the rest of them were also looking around, unintentionally on duty.
"Your Majesty, it looks like humans are going to run. Mobuck said.
"Oh, this is running?" Luo Qiu was surprised, he hadn't even made a move, he just summoned the skeletons in the front row, and the humans began to run?
Human nature likes to hesitate, there is a fluke mentality, and if you don't see the coffin, you don't shed tears, Luo Qiu thought that at least the city wall collapsed before the human race would retreat, but he didn't expect that he only withdrew the skeletons in the front row, and they began to run, which was beyond his expectations.
He didn't want to think about it himself, under the two million skeleton Chen soldiers in the city, there were still millions being transferred here, which was enough to dispel everyone's luck mentality.
"Run, run, run, save us the need to clean up. Luo Qiu waved his hand.
Mobuck was a little surprised: "Ah, aren't we chasing? While they are in chaos now, a few of our mages can put a few Teddies on top at once." ”
A wall that is undefended by no one makes no sense no matter how high it is, and a mage can easily send people to this height.
"If you don't chase them, why are you chasing them, I don't really want to kill people, tearing down the wall is the most important thing. Luo Qiu shook his head and said.
"But didn't Reinhardt say that he wouldn't do it if he didn't add more manpower?" asked Mobuck.
Luo Qiu shook his head: "This is not in a hurry, I asked Teddy to search for the sandmen, and three thousand people have been arrested one after another these days, which is enough for Reinhardt to allocate for a while." And capturing prisoners is definitely the easiest to catch when they are scattered, and when they run first, you will catch up with 500,000 people at night, and catch as many as you want. ”
From Ande, Luo Qiu knew that there were 30,000 permanent troops in Motiecheng, but according to him, there were more than 10,000 vacancies among these people, but in fact there were only 18,900 people, and they were all old, weak, sick and disabled.
This is not surprising, after all, the city of Motie is a frontier, the wasteland is barren, there is a lack of goods, and there has been no war in three hundred years. But anyone who has the ability is estimated to be transferred out of here in every possible way, and the rest are naturally the old, weak, sick and disabled.
In addition to the garrison, there were more than 20,000 inhabitants, and according to Ender, when he was thrown down, Hopeless had already issued an order to order the troops of nearby cities to rush to support, and after so many days, there should be more than 100,000 reinforcements to rush to the city of Mill.
In this way, there will be about 200,000 people in Motiecheng, and the retreat of 200,000 people is not an easy task, let them run for a day first, and make a force at night, they will soon be able to catch up.
Seeing that the King of Steelbones had all been arranged, Mobuck stopped talking.
......
Twenty kilometers north of the city, there was a swamp that blocked the city's path to the next human city, where the humans filled in a gravel road.
The two road builders were resting on the sill, but they were awakened by the sound of horses' hooves, and when they looked up, they saw a group of luxurious cars speeding by, without slowing down at all.
Looking at the gravel that was blown away by the horse's hooves and wheels, the road builder looked distressed, and now he had to spend a lot of effort to repair it, and he hated this kind of random drag racing guy the most.
However, the road builders only dared to muttered in their hearts that this kind of luxury convoy was not something they could criticize, and they could only consider themselves unlucky.
Getting up, one of the road builders glanced at the methane and asked curiously, "What kind of plant is this pink bud? ”
He was talking about a plant in the swamp with a slender pole but a large pink bud on top of it, where he had been maintaining the gravel road for many years, and only recently had it been spotted and more numerous.
"I don't know if I can eat it, so I'll try it when I go back and pick it up. The companion said that road guards like them are poorly paid, especially in such remote areas, and the salary is sometimes not enough for living expenses.
However, the swamp is very rich, and it is easy to pick a little when the road is usually maintained, which can cost a lot of food, and they have eaten a lot of swamp plants, and now a new species suddenly appears, and of course they want to taste it for a new taste.
However, as soon as the words fell, the pink buds suddenly exploded, and a pink mist spread out from the buds, slowly spreading.
Not only the nearby one, but also the places that could not be seen, the buds exploded one after another, and the pink mist spread, gradually covering the entire swamp.
The two road repairers bore the brunt of the attack, and were soon surrounded by the powder mist, they stood in the powder mist in a daze, inhaling a lot of powder mist, and after dozens of seconds, the two road repairers suddenly stared wide, and their eyes were instantly bloodshot and red.
They began to gasp for breath rapidly, and more mist was inhaled into their bodies, and at the same time, the mixed muscles tightened, the blood vessels bulged, the green tendons were exposed, and the pain cried.
As they inhaled more and more mist, their muscles crumbled and tightened, and their tendons twisted and twitched, as if something was about to emerge from under their skin.
When the collapse reached a critical point, their skin cracked, revealing a blur of flesh, and then phalanges proliferated, their palms grew larger and larger, and their nails turned into sharp toes.
The jaws are dilated, the cheeks are deformed, the teeth are jagged, and finally, the two road repairers become two normal-sized ghouls.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves came from outside the powder mist, and the road builders, who had been driven by the instinct of the ghouls, moved their ears and immediately pounced in the direction from which the sound came, and their deformed feet stepped on the ground, kicking several meters away, far exceeding the speed of normal people running.
Rushing out of the pink mist, I saw a richly dressed aristocratic young man and two attendants, who were looking at the pink mist in disbelief, not knowing whether to rush in or retreat.
Then, they saw the ghouls rushing out of the fog to make them terrifying.
The aristocratic youth screamed and almost fell off his horse, and the two squires, though also startled by the vicious ghoul, bravely struck their horses forward and blocked the noble youth, one of whom swung his sword and slashed at him.
The ghoul instinctively raised his hand to block, one wrist was cut off, and the attendant just showed a happy expression, but found that the ghoul with the severed hand was unaware, and the broken wrist and intact claws pinched it together, throwing the attendant to the ground.
Strangling the squire, the ghoul pounced on the horse, tore it up, and then devoured it.
Another ghoul threw the other squire off his horse and devoured his horse.
The aristocratic young man was so frightened that he could not care about the loyal attendants, and he fled back for his life when he hit his horse, and was thrown off his horse, and the attendants who had escaped for their lives also turned and ran wildly.
With the ghouls who had food, they buried their heads in gnawing, and they didn't care about the aristocratic youth and squires who fled, and as a large amount of flesh entered the body, the body shape and appearance of the two ghouls changed drastically.
Their length is growing rapidly, their hands and feet are getting thicker, their toenails are getting harder, their backs are high and bulging, and their entire back muscles are getting more and more developed. Sharp bone spurs are more prominent on the shoulders and back of the head. The ghoul with the severed hand had a wrist that quickly grew back.
The powder mist didn't drift here, but a few minutes later, the body of the strangled squire suddenly writhing and entered a horrific process of living corpse, eventually turning into a normal-sized ghoul.
A corpse killed by a ghoul turns into a ghoul?
As soon as the new ghoul regained his mobility, he pounced on the corpse of one of the horses and devoured it desperately, the fresh flesh full of strong temptation for them.
The pink mist permeated the swamp, drifting onto the gravel paths, and those who inhaled the mist quickly transformed into ghouls, frantically attacking the living horses on the road, gnawing at fresh flesh.
The corpses that they killed and didn't have time to gnaw at were turned into living corpses, joining the ghouls, and as the powder mist spread and the number of ghouls increased, the living corpses spread like a plague, and the number increased.
In the Iron Grinding City, in a dwelling, the undead stroked a huge wine barrel, and muttered with a strange smile: "Slaughter, steel bones, slaughtering 300,000 humans in the Iron Grinding City, you will become the public enemy of all species in the continent." ”
With that, the undead snapped the machine, and the entire large wine barrel collapsed, and the pink liquid vaporized into a mist and dispersed from the doors and windows.
