The sword light and the dagger were intertwined, and in the blink of an eye, 7 lantern ghosts fell to the ground one by one, Lin Xi really did not underestimate the strength of the two of us, in the case of 5-8 lantern ghosts alone, as long as they were focused enough and did not make mistakes, there would basically be no danger, and at this time, after the lantern ghosts fell to the ground, wisps of souls floated out of their lanterns, turning into a figure standing in front of us, a total of more than ten.

There were men and women, old men with stooping bodies, and children of four or five years old, but each of them had a strong layer of death on their faces, and they just appeared in front of us.

"Finally, I was relieved ......"

An old man in a gray robe said blankly: "Since the plague drifted into the town, everything has changed, and people have become very irritable and have lost their normality. ”

On the side, a middle-aged man was burly, and a choked sound came out of his throat, and said: "Father, Mother, they have all become unconscious bloodthirsty walking corpses, these damned demons, they bring destruction, they bring death......"

"Mom, Mom has become a different person......

A child said ignorantly and dazedly: "We can't go back, the town is dying......

……

As he spoke, their bodies became void one by one, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into clouds of smoke and flew up, disappearing into the air.

"There is a plot interpretation ......"

Lin Xi looked at the sky with a pair of beautiful eyes, looked at the disappeared people, and said, "It seems that this town was infected by the undead plague, and then it went into decline step by step. ”

"Hmm."

I nodded and said, "But...... The plot is so specifically designed, there must be a lot of things going on, since these people have become puppets of the undead, I don't know what happened to that little Ilan......"

Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, with a hint of worry in his expression: "Let's kill it quickly!" ”

"Hmm!"

All the way forward, we continued to clean up the lantern ghosts, and just after we cleared the second batch of lantern ghosts, one by one dead figures appeared in front of us again, their faces were expressionless, just a soul with the last wisp of consciousness, just passing us and walking outside the town, muttering to themselves-

"Everybody has chosen to leave their homes, but where can we go? Hengfan Town is our home, and if we are displaced, where can we go? ”

"Lord Li Qiuyang has already led the military doctors to the town, but ...... Their medicinal soup is simply not able to resist the invasion of the plague of the undead, our bodies are changing day by day, and many people have left ......"

"Those who left town early, are they okay?"

……

I frowned as I watched as these ghosts departed one by one, and some even passed directly past me, as if only a remnant of spiritual consciousness remained, and the rest was nothing.

"Lu Li......"

Lin Xi glanced at me and became even more worried.

I frowned: "Don't worry, this is a starry sky-level mission, and in the background setting, little Alan is definitely not dead......

"No, I'm just ......"

She bit her red lip and said, "This town should have become a dead city, if little Ailan hadn't died, how desperate would it be to face a town like this......"

"Let's go, let's move on."

"Hmm!"

……

Further back, batches of lantern ghosts are cleared, and they are also approaching the town step by step, and the experience points along the way are quite rich, but the plot is very depressing, and every word of these ghosts makes us more worried about whether our mission target is still alive.

After about an hour or two, Lin Xi and I advanced step by step, and finally came to the entrance of Hengfan Town, and just in front, there was a group of lantern ghosts that looked extremely vicious, and after they were all cleaned up, figures flew out of their lanterns, which seemed to be militiamen, standing in front of them blankly.

"Young adventurers, you're late." Among them, a middle-aged militiaman shook his head and sighed, saying: "We are already sick to the bone marrow, hopeless, our souls cannot be redeemed, we ......"

I stepped forward, looked into his empty eyes, and said, "Uncle, do you know Ailan?" Where is her home, where is she? ”

"Alan?"

He showed a look of confusion, and then suddenly realized, "Oh, you're talking about the poor child, she's been abandoned......"

"For ...... Why did you abandon her? Lin Xi asked.

The militia let out a long sigh and said: "On the third day of the undead plague, little Ailan showed symptoms, her hands and feet were cold, and pieces of pale lumps appeared on her body, which was a sign of imminent corpse transformation, and everyone said that the child could not be saved, so ...... Her parents abandoned her, and on the fourth day she had fled the town, leaving little Ellen alone......"

"Why ......"

Lin Xi frowned, pursed her red lips, and her beautiful eyes were full of anger.

"Nothing ......"

The spirit of the militia said lightly: "Everyone is thinking about their lives, and her parents are the same, who would not care about their own lives......

As he spoke, he looked into the air and said, "We have followed the words of Lord Li Qiuyang, and finally died in the town, we ...... Although we are militia, we are worthy of the empire, worthy of the human race, and we have no regrets even if we die......"

In the next second, the figures of a group of militiamen dissipated one by one.

……

I took a deep breath and looked ahead, there was another large number of lantern ghosts refreshed there, so I frowned and said, "Lin Xi, let's not be distracted, after brushing off these lantern ghosts, we can enter the town to find the whereabouts of little Ilan......"

"Hmm!"

So, the two of them opened fire, and after about ten minutes, they killed all the lantern ghosts, and among the layers of corpses, one figure after another flew up, and it was a group of souls imprisoned in the lantern, just in the forefront, a soul holding a cane coughed again and again, and the appearance was very clear, it was a mayor.

"Young ......"

The mayor looked at us and said, "You guys are already late, Hengfan Town has fallen, Lord Li Qiuyang tried hard to resist but still failed, the garrison was almost wiped out, you are late......"

I frowned: "I know, we have met Li Qiuyang." ”

"Huh?"

The mayor was stunned for a moment and said, "You ...... Lord Li Qiuyang, how is he? ”

"I'm already dead." I said in a deep voice.

"Huh!?"

The mayor's body trembled slightly, his eyes were full of sorrow, and he said, "We have been in Hengfan Town, and we have finally gone to destruction...... Lord Li Qiuyang, he finally fulfilled his promise and died in his post......"

Lin Xi stepped forward and said, "Mayor Town, we are here to rescue Ailan, where is she, is she still alive?" ”

"Oh, that's the kid......"

The mayor's soul eyes turned red, and he said, "Her parents have abandoned her early and fled the town, alas...... When the people of the town found little Ilan, no one dared to approach her, but gave her food and water from afar, but ...... The Alien Legion is already about to invade the town, so I sent little Ellen to the barn north of the town three days ago, I don't know if she's still alive, poor child......"

"How can there be such parents in the world!"

I frowned, but didn't continue.

The mayor looked at us and said, "Actually, one of our medical officers said that little Ailan was not infected with the undead plague at all, she was just sick, but this is an extremely incurable disease, and it takes at least a few thousand gold coins to cure it, so her parents are not unaware of this matter, but they are afraid that it will not be cured, and it will cost a lot of money, so they abandoned her and left her alone in the town to fend for herself......"

Lin Xi trembled slightly, and tears swirled in his eyes: "Barn...... Is the barn just north? ”

"Hmm."

The mayor looked at us and said, "I wish you could find her, and if you could redeem her...... Young children, you are the hope of this world, and only you can save this dreary and deplorable world, goodbye......"

As he spoke, the souls of the mayor and a group of soldiers turned into white light and flew into the air, all of which vanished.

……

"Lin Xi, the north of the town!" I say.

"Hmm!"

She nodded heavily, and rushed side by side with me, and the two of them crossed the entire town like this, and soon after, a deserted and dilapidated warehouse appeared in front, and just when Lin Xi pushed open the barn, he saw a small figure lying under the window in the north of the barn, a girl in shabby clothes, with a sick face, already dying.

"Little Alan!"

I rushed over with Lin Xi.

“……”

She looked at us blankly, but still showed a smile and said, "Big brother, big sister, you are ...... Did your father and mother send me to see me? ”

Lin Xi almost burst into tears in an instant: "Yes, we are ......"

"Great."

Little Alan looked at us, weak and weak, and said, "It's a pity...... It's a pity that I don't have the strength to meet them, so I'm afraid I won't be able to meet them with you...... I ......"

"It's okay, it's okay......"

I shook my head and smiled, "We're all here, and we'll be here with you." ”

"I ...... I ......"

Little Alan's breath became weaker and weaker, but her beautiful little face was full of relief, and said, "Big brother, big sister, thank you...... I didn't expect that someone would come to accompany me in the end, I ......"

She was nearing the end of her life.

I directly switched to the paladin's account, and a ray of holy light fell on her, but to no avail, little Ilan's health bar was always at the critical point of death, and it was not something I could keep at all.

"Lu Li, no need...... No need to ......"

Lin Xi knelt on the side and looked at me with teary eyes.

And at this moment, Xiao Ailan's weak hand held two small wooden cards in his arms, which were two wooden cards engraved with her parents' names, her consciousness had begun to blur and confusion, but she held the two wooden cards tightly and put them to her mouth, and whispered to the wooden cards: "Goodbye Dad, goodbye Mom." ”
