Volume 2: The Holy War of Blood Chapter 22: My Name, Gabriel
"It's almost dawn, and it looks like we've been in the sewers all night. The moment he walked out of the cave, Raven couldn't help but sigh.
From here, you can see that the sun is slowly rising over the horizon, dispelling the darkness that envelops the city, and the soft and warm sunlight shining on everyone really makes everyone feel like they are in a different world after so long in the darkness.
Bathed in the sun, Ye Xiang also completely relaxed for the first time, but this sense of relaxation only lasted for a few seconds, and soon he turned into an extraordinary calmness again.
Calm, steady, super intuition, these are all Ye Xiang relies on to fight. No matter how severe the situation is, Ye Xiang can always accurately make the judgment that is most favorable to the situation, and this calmness and composure can often turn the tide of battle.
Never be dominated by your own negative emotions, this is the fighting rule that Ye Xiang has always believed in. Anger, hatred, grief, and so on will dominate one's reason, and those who have lost their mind will undoubtedly have the only way to go.
On top of that, the most important thing in battle is to never let your guard down, because the enemy will never give you a chance to breathe.
"Don't be careless. Ye wanted to remind everyone, "Don't you feel that the atmosphere outside is very strange now?"
After Ye Xiang's awakening, the others reacted from the relaxation bathed in the light, and they soon discovered that the current Akureyri City was full of a strange and strange atmosphere as Ye Xiang said just now.
The dilapidated streets are completely devoid of pedestrians, and even more strangely, even the corpses that used to lay out on the streets have disappeared without a trace. Although some of the buildings have been badly damaged, even those that have not been damaged too much have not been exposed to the slightest hint of human life, and the city seems to have become a ghost town.
"Where have all the people gone?" Nicholas swallowed, the eerie silence emanating from the city that made his hair stand on end. "Have they all been killed by that guy?"
"But if there is no corpse, I can't say it. Raven retorted, "Akureyri is a city inhabited by tens of thousands of people, how can it all disappear in one night." And even if all the inhabitants were dead, how could there be no corpses left. ”
"To muster up the spirit of 12 points, that guy must still be there, Beelzebub could launch a surprise attack on us at any moment. After analyzing it in his mind, Ye Xiang gave an order to everyone.
The enemy is in the dark, and our side is in the light, this is one of the forms of battle that Ye Xiang does not want to engage in the last time. We have completely lost all information about the enemy, and the enemy is likely to have all aspects of our whereabouts, so the probability of winning the battle can be said to be infinitely close to zero.
But at this moment, Ye Xiang had already made up his mind not to retreat, because the human race had no way to retreat, and now only they could create a miracle by letting go.
Walking through the ruined streets, no one in the group could believe that this was the city of Akureyri they had seen the night before. There was no breath of living creatures, only countless ruins, and the vehicles had burned into a cloud of charred scrap metal, only occasionally emitting wisps of black smoke, which was simply a post-apocalyptic scene.
"By the way, why are you still with us?" Raven couldn't help but ask, looking at Garrot, who was still in their ranks. "Didn't you say we'd leave when we got to the end?"
Garrot shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "I said so, but if you look at the situation in the city now, it's completely different from the old situation. So I'm going to change my plan of action and join you for the time being. ”
"It's a rarity. Ye Xiang smiled for the first time in a long time, he actually felt that the man in front of him was a little likable now. "You really like to do what you want, in other words, you can say that you are a lawless fellow. ”
"Lawlessness? I like that word. Garrot's pace was particularly brisk, "Rules are used to restrain others, just do what you want at any time." ”
"You're a lot like this guy. Ye Xiang looked at Shore who was supported by Raven and Nicholas and said, "A very impulsive guy who forgets all the orders and rules is really a headache for me who has nothing to do." ”
"I hear you. Shore snorted softly, startling both Raven and Nicholas, who were normally holding him.
Shore opened his eyes, still a little pale, but he had eased a lot, and he stretched out his arms to push Raven and Nicholas away, and stood on his feet on the ground.
"When did you wake up, Captain?" asked Raven, who had been taken aback by the captain's sudden awakening, but then the joy and excitement that followed after a brief moment of surprise.
"It's been a while since I've been awake. Xiao Er grimaced at everyone, "I've heard a lot of interesting stories along the way, and I've also heard Ye Xiang's complaints." ”
"Wait a minute. Nicholas suddenly elbowed Shore's neck from behind. "Captain, you've woken up a long time ago, haven't you? We've been taking care of you for so long, and there's a limit to your pranks. ”
Raven's expression suddenly became gloomy, and he said in a serious tone, "Eh, it seems to be the case." Deceived into our feelings, and it looks like we're going to have to let you die here, Captain. ”
"Pain, pain, am I wrong?" Xiao Er begged for mercy again and again, "Ye wants you to help me tell them, I won't do this again next time, help me plead for mercy." ”
"Who told you to pretend to be faint for so long?" Ye wanted to spread out his hands to show that he was helpless, but his expression was clearly secretly happy.
"Pretend to be a little bit more like. Shore shouted, "How can anyone make such an innocent gesture with a smile on your face!"
Garrot looked at the frolicking crowd with great interest, and it was so good that he thought to himself, I and my brothers used to be like them, and now I miss it. But the time that has passed will not come back, and all I can see now is this harsh reality.
"Alright, let him go. Ye Xiang had already tried his best not to laugh out loud, "I believe that our captain already knows that he is wrong, and he can't stay here too long." ”
Nicholas let go of the arm that was locking Shore, and Shore rubbed his throat and complained to them loudly, "It's too hard, Nicholas." And Raven, what you said scared the hell out of me. And there are you, Ye Xiang, who actually didn't save me when he saw death. ”
"Are you done complaining?" Ye Xiang kicked Xiao Er's ass, and he jumped up in pain. "When you're done complaining, let's go, and don't forget that you're our captain. ”
"Got it, got it. Shore stuck out his tongue at him, "I already know the general situation, and now we should be on the docks." If nothing else, the ship that will meet us should have arrived. ”
"It's 6:09 a.m., and by a conservative estimate, we should be at the main port terminal in 30 minutes. Ye Xiang lowered his head and glanced at his watch, "But we don't know when the ship from the headquarters will arrive, and the communication here has completely broken down, and we have to think about it on this day." ”
"If we just plan and don't act, when will we be able to reach our destination?" Xiao Er patted Ye Xiang on the back vigorously, "We should act immediately now, and everything should be dealt with according to what happened!"
"I just hate your reckless character of doing things without a plan. Ye Xiang raised his eyebrows, but soon showed a helpless smile again. "Forget it, you're the captain, you have the final say, just follow your orders. ”
"Then I'll assume that you agree, and then everyone will act according to what I just ordered. Shore stretched his bones, the fatigue he had felt after awakening had been swept away, and now he felt that his body was extremely relaxed.
In the darkness, countless pairs of blood-red eyes silently watched the people in action, and the messages conveyed by these eyes finally converged into Beelzebub's mind, and it can be said that he is now the one who rules the city.
"Mess with them, that heavenly bastard. Beelzebub spat a little unpleasantly, "I didn't expect you to help humanity so selflessly, it's really a bit unexpected." But it doesn't matter now, I've got a very interesting multiple-choice question for you. ”
"What are those?" Shore paused, a scene he had never seen in his life.
A large number of the original residents of Akureyri suddenly came out of nowhere in the originally silent city, but these residents are simply very different from normal people, or they are shocking.
Each of them had a pair of blood-red eyes like flies, and their limbs were twisted forward, in a very strange posture that could not be done by humans. Their language seemed to have deteriorated, and their mouths could only produce a muffled roar, and the citizens swarmed around them.
"Are they citizens, but are they really human beings in this way of looking and acting?" Raven couldn't help but exclaim, these people in front of him were more like the zombies he had seen in the movies than "people".
"They are living people, but they are not human beings. Garrot spoke.
"This is simply a contradiction, how can it be both human and not human?" Ye Xiang retorted.
"From a biological point of view, they are indeed human. But if you look at it from another point of view, their brains have been controlled, and these people are nothing more than Beelzebub's puppets, so I say that they are both human and not human. ”
The truth of what Garot told shocked everyone present, and if that was the case, wouldn't they be killing people if they did it?
"It's worthy of you, you can see through the mystery at a glance. One of the citizens spoke suddenly, but it was clear to all that the master who spoke was Beelzebub, who controlled them.
"You've used this trick once before, can't I see it?" said Garrot, a look of disgust.
"So what would you do if you had given up everything compared to before? Beelzebub seemed in high spirits, and he couldn't help but want to see how the game would play out.
"At that time, your eldest brother chose not to harm them and let them go with the flow, and your second brother chose to carry out justice and eradicate them all. Now it's your turn, because your brothers are there, so you don't have to do it, so how will you choose now?"
Galot's forehead had burst with veins, and Beelzebub had offended his scales. "Never let me hear from you filthy monsters about my brother. The crowd standing beside Garrot clearly felt a powerful coercion, and this coercion took their breath away.
"What a powerful force, not at all on the same level as us. Shore struggled to support his body and not fall to the ground with the coercion on his back, but it was obviously very difficult.
"This is his power, sure enough, his identity is right with what I thought, this power is enough to match the gods!" Ye Xiang also began to gasp. Garrot only used a little bit of insignificant strength, and Ye Xiang felt that he was almost completely unable to breathe.
"I'll make a choice to show you, Beelzebub, you filthy monster will soon be gone. Garrot's eyes suddenly surged with endless killing intent, and the killing power emanating from his body seemed to tear the air apart.
"That's right, Garrot. Oh no, I ought to call you Gabriel, but what kind of being have you become, even by giving up the name given by God himself?
"Shut up!" six white wings with a holy glow suddenly spread behind Gabriel, and the whirlwind that swept them all to the ground. "Sure enough, it's just as I thought, he's Gabriel!" Ye Xiang shouted against the wind.
At this moment, the Archangel of Courage was shrouded in a holy light, and the majesty that belonged only to the creation of the gods would never allow anyone to offend, and even the people of Team X couldn't help but suddenly have the thought of wanting to grovel.
"I am the archangel of courage, Gabriel. Gabriel's voice did not have the lightness and casualness of its predecessor, but had a sense of ancient majesty and solemnity. "Gluttonous Eater, Beelzebub, thou hast committed the seven unforgivable sins, which have become the wrath of man and God, and I will put you to justice on the spot!"
