Volume 1 The Fuse Chapter 21 Sacrifice

"Be careful!"

In a flash of the sword, a zombie intent on attacking Liya was cut off its head.

Michelle appears to Lia's left and saves her again.

However, another zombie jumped from the roof of the house and was lying on Michelle's somewhat rickety back, biting the back of his neck.

It's like Michelle is carrying a zombie on her back.

The long sword stabbed out, piercing the zombie's head without hindrance.

Frozen, shattered.

I dealt with the zombie, but Michelle was bitten off a piece of flesh on the back of her neck.

He trembled, gritted his teeth and endured the pain, but he didn't let out a snort of pain after all.

"Grandpa Michelle!" Liya exclaimed.

Michelle trembled and stretched out her hand, touched Liya's head, and comforted:

"It's fine."

He squeezed out a smile.

The smile was trembling.

After a moment, Michelle looked at me and said:

"Lord Hero, I'm about to lose it, you must protect Liya."

"Don't worry, even if you don't say it, I will see Liya as important as my life."

"That's good."

As if she had finally put an end to something, Michelle breathed a deep sigh of relief.

After a moment, he sighed and muttered:

"Livis, that's all I can do."

"Grandpa Michelle, you ......"

I looked at Michelle, the wound on his waist was about to spread to his armpits, the wound on his neck was also spreading, and his eyes were already faintly red.

He's going to be a zombie soon!

"Roar—"

There was a zombie roar from behind, and we turned around at the same time to look, and five or six zombies appeared in the direction we had just come.

"Take Liya away, I'll cut it off."

Michelle stood in front of us, his voice unusually hoarse, like the roar of a zombie.

"Grandpa Michelle, let's go together."

Lea was reluctant to leave Michelle behind.

I looked at Michelle's rickety back and hesitated.

Is it just to abandon Michelle?

My conscience will be condemned......

No, as cruel as it is, Michelle has no hope of living, and I still have Ria and I.

If we wait for more zombies to arrive, maybe the three of them won't be able to leave.

I'm sorry, I had to make a cruel decision.

Michelle turned suddenly.

"Roar—"

His eyes were red, and he let out a zombie roar.

The red light flickered on and off, flickering erratically.

Liya shrank in fright and grabbed the corner of my coat tightly.

"Let's go!"

Michelle shouted the last words and turned to rush towards the zombies.

His voice was extremely hoarse and indistinct.

"Liya, let's go!"

I grabbed Ria and ran forward.

Behind him came the sound of blades piercing flesh, and the sound of roars one after another.

One of the roars seemed to retain a hint of humanity.

"Liya, run faster."

The roar behind him faded away.

However, the firelight flickered, providing too narrow a view. The darkness and dead silence around it made it even more terrifying.

The cold moonlight sprinkled in the alley, and there were many shadows in front of me, I don't know what it was.

I threw away the torches, motioned for Liya to be silent, and pulled her to the corner of the abandoned house.

A rotten door panel was brought from the side, barely able to hide.

"Roar—"

A roar came from afar, and sure enough, it was a zombie.

I don't know how many, but if it's a few, it's not difficult to deal with with the power of the blood moon.

If it's a big swarm, it's bad.

What's even more troublesome is that once the fight starts, it is likely to attract other zombies in the vicinity.

Try to avoid fighting at this time.

The roar is getting closer, coming this way.

Hopefully just passing by, don't spot us.

The roar suddenly disappeared.

Silence fell again.

In the moonlight, a few shadows appeared in the doorway.

A strong stench of decay permeated the air.

It must have been discovered.

Leaving Liya in the corner, I crept to the door, my sword against the wall, holding my breath.

A bony paw slowly reached in, very close to my right shoulder.

Can't do it yet, wait for it to come in.

Cutting off a hand doesn't hurt it much, and it will kill with one hit.

The bone claw probed and retracted, as if it were a temptation.

Do zombies also have an IQ?

For about ten seconds, it was still quiet outside the door.

If it weren't for those shadows on the ground, I would have thoughtlessly thought that the zombies had left.

Thankfully, they don't have the intelligence of a human after all, and they don't know that the shadows on the ground have exposed them.

After another moment, I don't know how many seconds passed.

I was about to lose my breath.

No, if you can't hold it at all, you will inevitably pant for breath, and the movement will be too big.

I endured the discomfort, exhaled slowly, and then slowly took a deep breath.

A head popped in.

Hand up, long sword up.

The zombie's head rolled to the ground.

"Roar—"

The remaining few rushed in.

Four, and four zombies.

With a horizontal sword, he directly killed the two zombies that rushed to the front side by side.

Following the inertia, I quickly spun around, and when the sword was re-aimed at the door, I stabbed it out with both hands.

A zombie was pierced through the chest by a long sword, and it instantly froze and shattered.

At the same time, however, another zombie was already coming at me.

The long sword had just been stabbed, and it was too late to attack again.

Rushing forward, dodging the claws that caught me, I came behind the zombies.

Holding the sword high in both hands, he aimed it at the head and slashed it down.

The last zombie halved and then shattered.

The battle time is very short, and it should not alarm the other zombies.

Getting the corpses of the zombies into the dark of the house, I quickly ran out into the street and picked up torches again to melt the frozen zombies.

These zombies were able to spot us, most likely because of the smell.

The stench of frozen zombies is greatly reduced, and we can only melt them, allowing the stench to diffuse and mask our smell.

After doing this, the torch still can't be carried with me.

Darkness is both dangerous and can temporarily hide our bodies.

In the corner, I crouched in the corner with Liya, and the door panel was just enough to block the two of us.

It's really humiliating to say that as a hero, you have to hide in the corner.

But beyond that, I can't think of a better way for the time being.

It didn't take long for Liya to vomit from the stench!

I had no choice but to tear off a piece of fabric from my clothes and hand it to Liya.

Me: Bear with me, it's safer to wait until dawn.

Lia Silver: Well, I'm fine.

I was communicating with Liya on the team channel, and then I noticed that there were a lot of messages in the system's alliance channel.

The second generation of local tyrants and Mr. Niu have escaped under the cover of many cavalry, taking Princess Fanny, Bart and several servants.

The heroine and the medical expert are still in the city, hiding in a corner like me.

According to Mr. Niu, the operation suffered heavy losses, and in order to cover the princess out of the city, the cavalry was almost wiped out.

Most of the heroes were sacrificed, and most of the rest were wounded, so they had no choice but to cut off their hands or feet. But they are already relatively lucky, and those who are bitten on the neck or other key parts are left with only a dead end.
