Chapter 152: The Fall of Half of the City
Kazik's life and death are uncertain, and Jeno is not at ease.
He glanced at the fire behind him, and figured that Kazik wouldn't be stupid enough to burrow back into the forest if he hadn't died.
Then he can only ......
Jeno looked in Piltover's direction.
He picks up the communicator and tries to call Caitlin, but finds that he can't get through, which Hex says is because "the user doesn't exist".
"Is this a broken communicator?" Jeno thought of the disadvantages for a moment, and felt that it would be better to go back and see Caitlyn as soon as possible.
"Let's go back." Throwing the overheated and damaged focusing flamethrower to the guards, Jeno didn't wait for the fire to burn out, and returned to Picheng with the guards ahead of time.
What Jeno had feared happened.
Passing through a grove, Jeno saw three scattered Vishra muskets abandoned under the trees, next to a large pool of sticky blood, not yet dry.
In addition to this, the surrounding grass showed signs of battle, some of the dead grass was charred black, and there were a few patches of clothing hanging from the trees.
"There was no trace of the body dragging it, but the body was gone...... Kazik isn't dead yet! ”
To be able to cause such traces of battle, Jeno can't think of a second creature other than Kazik.
The three guards who had returned early were all fed into the stomachs of the wounded Kazik to recover from their injuries. Only by eating them on the spot can there be no trace of the corpse dragging behind.
Jeno never doubted the appetite of the Void creatures, as their bellies might be connected to the Void, a claim that is pending, as this is just his speculation, or it can be understood as a metaphor. If he had the chance, he could try to dissect it, but he didn't really want to die to satisfy his curiosity.
"Write down the names of the deceased and give them a pension." Jeno can only do this for a few guards who died in battle, this is the usual method of dealing with the major families, anything can be solved with money, even death.
There is not much to say, and even some people join the guard for this pension and accidental death insurance, but most of the people who hold this idea are Zuans.
Before he could enter the city gates, Jeno called out to Caitlyn.
"What? How could you call the police like that! Caitlin came from the charcoal brazier with her breasts crossed, and appeared in front of Jeno, as if she had just been roasting comfortably.
Seeing that everything was as usual, Jeno breathed a sigh of relief.
"Heighten your vigilance, if there are any strange creatures mixed in the city, don't solve it without permission, and notify me immediately with a communicator."
"What a strange creature, you name it." Caitlin asked rhetorically, she was a very curious woman.
"I can't tell, it's just not human anyway. I'm tired, let me into town. "Strange creatures are the possible cannibal plants, manipulated vegetative people, or the Void creatures and native species of the rainforest, and because there are so many types, Jeno doesn't bother to explain them all.
Because he was really tired, and after the shot, he was empty, and he just wanted to go home and sleep, but as long as Kazik was not dead, he couldn't sleep.
Fortunately, Kazik did not enter the city, and Jeno was able to rest for a while.
Jeno handed over the pass, which was stained with dragon lizard saliva water, and the fishy smell hit.
"Hmm-"
Catelyn instinctively threw her head back and made a long sound, full of disgust, and skipped the process of checking the pass.
Returning to the manor, reporting the death list, and seeing that the Camilles were not there, Jeno took the first step to carry the unconscious Niko back to his room to sleep.
Who knows, this lay, the outside has undergone earth-shaking changes.
The wildfire was quickly extinguished, and in the ashes, the shoots regrew and climbed upwards at a speed visible to the naked eye, recovering in just one afternoon.
In the silence of the night, when everyone was asleep, countless vines and thorns with a magical glow broke through the rock, weaving into a green wave, and rushed towards Piltover.
Several guards guarding the gate saw the movement outside the city and ran out of the guard box to check, and the flashlight illuminated a scene of the end of the world - those plants that would not move on a daily basis were all twisted together and turned into a wave swarming.
"Damn, I've long seen that something is wrong with this rainforest, this is definitely a cursed rainforest!"
The guards in the clock tower were awakened by the sound of sirens, which woke up the sleeping people one after another, and the sound of the bells even went underground.
Under the guidance of the guards, the residents of the entire south of the city carried out an emergency evacuation, and rushed to the north of the city, and the canyon bridge was surrounded by water.
Caitlin tries to dial Jeno's communicator, but she realizes that her modified communicator has been reimbursed, so she has no choice but to join the evacuation team herself.
In the early hours of the morning, the terrifying green tide finally stopped in front of the canyon in the center of the city.
……
Last night, Jeno slept deeply.
He didn't know what time it was, because he didn't hear the chime, and looking out the window, he could only roughly guess that it was not yet noon.
Touching something cold in the bed, Jeno remembered that he had slept with Niko yesterday.
He lifted the quilt and found that Niko not only liked to burrow into the quilt, but also liked to burrow into his clothes, where it was warm, and he liked to curl up in a sleeping position, no wonder he was hunched over at a young age.
Ahem, in fact, the hunchback is all caused by body structure.
He didn't disturb Niko to sleep, this guy had to sleep at least twelve hours a day in the cold, and it was much easier to sleep than to be awake.
After getting dressed, Jeno pushed the door open and went out to find Camille, he felt that the air was unusually fresh today, and he took a breath to lift his spirits.
As he walked around the manor, he noticed that there were noises everywhere outside the walls, and that there were almost no guards or attendants walking in the manor, which was very unusual.
The sound prompted him to the outside of the manor, and when he pushed the door open, he was stunned by the sight before him.
Many refugees sat against the fence, lined up for a whole street, and the gate of the manor was not flooded, but it was almost too much for cars to pass.
He took a closer look at the refugees and found that most of them were not well-dressed, lacked clothes and trousers, but the occasional expensive piece of clothing, a clock, or a novel Hex reinforcement proved that these refugees were not poor, if not expensive.
Each of them looked sluggish and shivering in the cold wind, but they maintained their demeanor and did not shout indiscriminately.
There was no bell in the morning, perhaps it was stopped so as not to interfere with their rest.
Philos' attendants were handing out breakfast to them, and though it wasn't a delicate thing, everyone would say thank you when they received it.
I asked a guard guarding the gate to inquire, only to find out that these people turned out to be citizens from the south of the city last night.
It was just the guard's next words that made him think he hadn't woken up yet.
"What? You said that Nancheng District was captured? ”
