The god of chaos of the night meditates on what slow-paced humans are thinking. The sound of the wild deer running is compatible with the rain and mist in the thick darkness, which is the rhythmic muffling of thunder, exploring in the clouds, shuttling in the invisible gray and black with a blue-white light, and when it shines, the white giant stands up, swaying its body full of moisture, and between heaven and earth, the rain begins the final sanction as the ruler.

The princes of one side, the fallen refugees, the men who fought against death. Pang Tong raised his head to watch the rainstorm come again, and now he felt cold. He felt nervous, and after entering the first floor of the castle tower, he walked up the stairs to the second floor, and then to the third floor. The view is at its widest here, of course, during the day. A bed lay across the wall, Pang Tong sat down, and Dian Wei sat cross-legged on the ground. Wu Dong walked over and said, "Do you want anything?" ”

Pang Tong looked at the red candle flame in the darkness swaying on the table opposite, and sighed deeply: "Hey, let's have something to eat." ”

After a while, steamed buns, leg meat and other things were put on the table. Pang Tong looked at the food on the long table, and hurriedly said: "As long as the four big steamed buns are prepared, the others will not be bad in winter." We don't have that much food to stock up on in case of a crisis, do we? ”

"If you can go deep into the city, you can find a lot of them in private houses. If we only rely on those who are placed here, we will be deprived of food in less than seven days. ”

Pang Tong said: "Oh, it's good, you can still have such a bold assumption. But it's something that has to be done. I want to go north. ”

Wu Dong's face was pale, his blood regressed, and he said, "To the north, there is the source of the plague. ”

"Yes, I just want to see what this plague looks like, otherwise my heart will be uneasy."

Wu Dongbi bowed respectfully, picked up two big men filled with sliced pork hind leg meat, and left with great respect for Pang Tong.

Dian Wei said: "Such a cruel scene, can't the huge people see enough?" ”

Pang Tong lay down on the bed, his heavy torso falling into endless prostration. This kind of relaxing feeling can only be matched by sleeping.

"Ah, if you don't go, you'll be upset. This is my city, and it has become like this. ”

"No, well. In a city of 200,000 people, only those of us survive on the walls. I think it's something that can't sleep. It's better to leave as soon as possible. ”

Pang Tong smiled: "If the defense line here is difficult to hold, go over the wall and leave, there should be ropes or something." Then he began to snore. The heavy head fell asleep.

The next morning, when he woke up, the two walked down. Steamed buns were being distributed on the city wall, and the soldiers on duty were sleeping by the wall. Wu Dong's eyes darkened heavily, and he said, "There was no enemy attack overnight. ”

Pang Tong seemed to have expected something and nodded, no sadness or joy. He muttered, "Are these guys afraid of the night?" It's weird. If you are afraid of daytime, it is still understandable, after all, there is sunlight, and ultraviolet rays or something will have a special reflection. But the words of the night? Do they need the energy of the sun, ultraviolet rays? ”

Dian Wei and Wu Dong glanced at each other, but they grinned as if they didn't understand anything. Pang Tong didn't want to think about whether they could understand it or not. Anyway, as long as he can think like this, he will definitely find the answer.

Monsters with long noses were sniffing around. It was early in the morning, and from the city walls, there were constant scattered walkers below. The soldiers were well fed and fed. Quietly waiting. Pang Tong came to the wall and watched the monsters that were pouring out of the building. He named them human monsters, and everyone after that called them collectively. Because the gate was closed, people outside who wanted to go into the city to visit relatives or do business were at a loss. The people who came to the south gate of the city watched the situation above. The soldier poked his head out and responded, "Hurry up, the city won't open the door!" Come on! ”

The people who were constantly driven away by the words were indifferent, wondering if there was an epidemic, or maybe there was a war? Coup?

Pang Tong breathed in the fresh air from the wall. Mother Earth wrapped her soft and broad bosom around him in the nearby void. He felt reassured that the earth was so close and that everything on the earth gave birth to everything. Everything is born and dies with fear and happiness. However, he is the kind of person who prefers fear, because happiness is too nourishing to stimulate the nerves, to make people think of danger in times of peace, to enlighten, or to reach the truth in dialectic.

"It's coming."

He said calmly. Watch as the demon-like human monsters explore the food, gather together, form a mass, and head this way. And there were many people coming from all directions, and they came out of the houses, and they came out of the streets. What's more, they actually walked through the east and west walls. Now, there are four crossings to guard, and the form is urgent.

Walking in a messy step, approaching in a fast, slow, various postures and forms, and then running. The corpse on the stairs is a good thing. Because these guys are running around with no brains, there are a lot of people who slip on it and fall down. Stupid picture. However, there is one thing that Pang Tong sees, these guys will not eat the corpses of those same kind on the ground. They are purposeful and selective. They seem to have a special sense of smell or heat to distinguish between friend and foe. Pang Tong thought about this question very seriously. Then, the two sides of the wall first launched a defensive offensive. Those fangs and claws are very difficult to deal with, and they are very powerful. The defense force is very difficult. On the other side, the ropes were all hung from the wall, presumably in preparation for escape. However, Pang Tong ordered when he saw that the sides seemed to be unable to resist. All the people retreated to the tower, closed the two gates of the tower, and piled stones behind it. The pace of this retreat was not smooth. Because the enemy's attacks are crazy. Pang Tong and Dian Wei made their way to the left side of the wall to defend themselves against the human monsters coming from the west wall.

Pang Tong slashed open the neck of the man who poked out his head and tongue, and his attack was very effective. Then another sword pierced the heart of the boy who had just gouged out the eyeballs of the soldier beside him. He got the rhythm and the point. He exclaimed: "Their weaknesses are only hearts and heads!" ”

The arrows fired by the archers took root in the human monsters. The part of the arrow pulled the body back and moved it without the slightest pain, and the arrows hit the arms, chest, abdomen, and legs, and the body only moved a few times as if it had been hit. When the arrow pierced the back of his head, he decisively lay down.

Everyone understood, struggled for a while, and then Pang Tong said: "Start retreating!" "The enemy probably thought that these people were starting to go downhill and were going to surrender. The food was in sight, and the crowd of people and monsters followed their steps back, and everyone began to enter through the two gates, into the tower, and poured in continuously. Pang Tong was fighting, and the soldiers were all emotional. And Wu Dong, as a civil official, has already run into the city tower, which is also a matter of no way, and those who are powerless are weak.

Most of them went in. Pang Tong's gaze froze with a desolate look. The men who had just stood together and fought stood up again, they were infected, the whites of their eyes were red, and they roared into the sky with a wolf-like roar, revealing their canine teeth, and saliva dripping viscously from the corners of their mouths and between their teeth.

The survivors, including Pang Tong, all fled into the tower. The door was shut. Behind the door, the prepared stones were stacked on top of each other. Although the door seems to be breached at any time by the monsters behind it like wild dogs, there is no need to be afraid of these stones.

The people who breathed a sigh of relief seemed to be about to loosen up, and they wanted to lie down immediately. As a result of an instant liberation from infinite death and fear, he came to a place that seemed to be considered absolutely safe. Their hearts no longer beat violently, and the instincts of their bodies, which supply blood to quickly pressurize to burst out of power, gradually descended.

Pang Tong came to the third floor, and he casually pulled a chair and sat down. Wu Dong came behind him and said, "My lord, the food and water are in the city tower, and there are ropes, what do you think?" ”

Pang Tong said: "They can't get by. Hold on for a while, if you can't find a way to get off the wall, we can be regarded as benevolent and righteous. He turned his head to look at the subordinate again, and said, "But is that good?" Something more serious may happen and endanger the world. I still can't help it, I want to go north......"

At this point, he was interrupted, and a soldier rushed up and said, "My lord, we have just killed four of our companions, and they have scratches on their bodies. ”

Wu Dong frowned heavily in his heart. Pang Tong leaned back in his chair and said, "You are wise, don't be too nervous, and don't be too relaxed." We still have a way back. Let's go down. ”

Dian Wei held the halberd in one hand and said, "My lord, going over there is equivalent to death." ”

Pang Tong closed his eyes and said nothing. It was a dreary morning. You can still hear the roar of those hateful people on the wall. They had already taken the entire city wall, and only the tower at the south gate had not been captured.

The face of the blue-faced fanged ghost flashed in his mind, and Pang Tong opened his eyes suddenly. He walked to the window in the tower. What I saw were human monsters who seemed to be wandering, their clothes were ragged, unkempt, and their faces were covered with blood, all like wandering spirits and wild ghosts. Pang Tong felt that these monsters gathered together directly, and then burned all the fires, what a happy execution. Wait, if you have a little mercy, should you think about how to restore them to their original state, is it possible?

No, if it's yourself, if you can remember what you did before and recover, or be told what you did before. In this case, it is better to die. What a cruel reality it was, full of the flesh and blood of relatives or other strangers, ah, what a painful sin, who made the people of this city suffer for unknown wrongs?

Pang Tong told himself: "The root cause must be found." He didn't know where he had the guts. It seems that the whole person is being pushed forward from behind by some inexplicable force.

"Your Excellency!"

Dian Wei snorted. Pang Tong hurriedly turned around with an impatient and sleepy expression, and quickly came to the window leading to the city. What I saw was a monster of people who kept coming here. It seems that they are ants that have spotted friendly signals, looking for special sounds, smells, and other signals to transmit signals, and approaching this way. Moreover, there were a few two-zhang tall that caught Pang Tong's attention. He couldn't help but ask, "How did these guys get to that point?" Genetic mutations? ”

There was another tremor in his heart, as if a fist was slamming in his chest, and then he screamed, "Bastard! Tell the archers to prepare it for me! Dian Wei immediately followed Pang Tong's request and asked the archers to crowd the outward-facing windows on the first and second floors, and the windows on each floor could probably stand ten people, which was quite spacious. The archers were not responsible for taking the arrows, but were lit by others wrapped in oilcloths, and the archers took them and began to shoot at the approaching giants, two feet tall.

If you let these guys go up the wall, there will be a way to break through the door and knock down the pile of rocks behind it.
