Volume 1 The Fuse Chapter 22 Out of the City

Darkness shrouded in dead silence.

Occasionally, a faint sound could be heard, but it was a zombie roar coming from an unknown place.

Time passed very slowly.

One second, one second, one second.

I don't know how long it will take before dawn.

In the darkness, Lia's head touched my shoulder and bounced back in an instant.

Me: Sleepy?

Lia Silver: Not sleepy.

Me: Sleep on my shoulder for a while.

Lia Silver: Master sleeps.

Me: I'm not sleepy. Sleep in peace, I'm here.

Lia Silver: yes.

Leah leaned back on my shoulder, but I don't know if she was asleep.

Actually, I'm also very sleepy. But in this case, vigilance must be maintained.

You can't let Liya be vigilant, I'll rest!

Besides, with her current strength, if a zombie appears, it is estimated that she will not be able to react.

The night passed, and there was no danger again.

Although there were zombies passing by several times, the terrifying howls emitted woke Liya up.

Luckily, we weren't found.

It was dawn and the sun was shining through the door.

"Leaβ€”"

"Leaβ€”"

I whispered to wake up Liya, pushed the door open, and said:

"It's dawn, let's go out of town."

Ding Dong –

Chat interface private channel:

The second generation of local tyrants: Hey, are you there?

Me: What?

The second generation of local tyrants: Is that kid dead?

The kid?

He's talking about Liya.

Me: What do you mean, who are you cursing?

The second generation of local tyrants: If Fanny hadn't asked me to ask, I wouldn't have bothered to care if he lived or died.

Me: Then please rest assured, he's okay, he's alive and well.

The second generation of local tyrants: Really? It's a pity that he didn't die.

Me: It's a pity for your sister!

"!"

I blurted out and cursed.

Ding Dong –

Ding Dong –

Too lazy to bird him.

"Master, what's wrong?"

I looked at Lia, who was staring at me with wide eyes and a blank expression.

"It's okay, it's the second generation of local tyrants."

"Hair?"

She was even more dazed.

"That's a word in our world...... Forget it, it's better that you don't understand. ”

"Oh......"

"Actually, it's just a nickname, a title, a title."

"yes, I see."

"Leah is so clever," I said casually, as I said:

"Let's go."

"Hmm."

She seemed happy, as if she had forgotten that we were still in danger.

Even though it was daytime, I wasn't sure if the zombies were hiding out of fear of the sun, but they were still cautious and cautious.

With the position of the sun in the sky, I determined the cardinal direction. Although I thought there were some detours, I finally came to the city gate.

I didn't encounter any zombies along the way, and I didn't hear any more roars.

It seems that it is indeed much safer during the day.

"Teacher Niu!"

"Little brother, are you alright?"

"It's okay, are you waiting for us here?"

"Well, if you're in danger nearby, I'll be better off backing up."

"Thank you!"

I was impressed. It's so dangerous here, Teacher Niu didn't go back to the royal capital overnight, but took his servants to stay here and be ready to answer at any time.

Teacher Niu waved his hand and said:

"The City of Fear is so dangerous, and it seems that the evil force behind it is not simple at all. We should unite more than ever to fight the darkness. ”

"Teacher Niu is right. Woman, haven't they come out yet? ”

"Not yet, but it should be almost."

There are no local tyrants and princesses around, so they should go to the royal capital.

"Little brother, rest down." Teacher Niu said.

"I'm also here waiting for the heroines to come out, in case I need support, I can also help."

Teacher Niu looked at me and smiled slightly, and said:

"The panda's eyes are out, so let's rest first. I'll wake you up if there's anything to do. ”

Black eye?

Is it so serious? It's only one night.

"Then I'll rest first, and call me anytime if you need help."

It should be safe for the time being, and it's time to rest for a while.

It's a pity that when I look around, there is no quilt, no bed, and no tent.

Well, the baggage was thrown away in the city, and now I can only make do with lying on the ground for a while.

However, it doesn't matter if you don't have a bed, you can't do it without a pillow.

I was looking around the neighborhood.

"Master, what are you looking for?"

Riya's voice came from behind her.

I replied as I searched:

"Find a flat stone to use as a pillow."

"Master."

"Huh?"

When he looked back, he saw Liya sitting outside the city gate, with her back to the city wall.

She patted her knee and said:

"Pillows."

This......

Does that mean telling me to rest on her lap?

"Liya, what do you mean?"

"Master, the stone is too hard, it will give you a headache."

Well, I see.

But I'm a little embarrassed.

I walked up to Liya and scratched the back of my head, feeling the heat on my face.

"There's no way, I can't seem to find any stones nearby, so I can only work hard for Liya."

"Liya is not hard, the master does not have to worry."

I lay down and rested my head on Leah's lap.

It's soft and feels comfortable.

It's not as good as a real pillow, but it's much better than a stone.

I slept deeply and had a sweet dream.

In my dream, I hugged a soft and comfortable pillow and slept soundly.

I think I finally understand why some people like to sleep with a pillow in their hands, it's really comfortable.

I don't know how long I slept until Liya's voice came into my head.

"Masterβ€”"

"Huh?"

I woke up and saw the heroine and the medical experts, and their servants.

"Heroine, expert, are you alright?"

"We're fine, it's just ......"

The heroine looked to the side where her servants were standing.

Several servants have lost an arm or a leg.

"Lady Woman!"

A big man with a broken leg, supported by a one-armed woman, jumped over and jumped.

"Lady Heroine, we want to terminate the Servant contract."

I've seen them when I was in the Goblin Forest.

The big man's name is Jack, and I don't know the woman's name.

I understand their offer to terminate the Servant Contract.

After seeing the horror of the City of Fear, normal people would not want to come again, after all, survival is the first instinct of any life.

I don't think they're cowardly.

On the contrary, I think they made a very rational decision.

The woman looked at Jack and asked:

"Why?"

Jack looked ashamed, lowered his head after a moment, but did not answer.

The woman pondered for a moment, then turned to look at the woman beside her.

"Kenie, you say."

It turned out that the one-armed woman's name was Kenie.

Keenie glanced at Jack, then turned to the heroine and said:

"I'm sorry, Lady Woman! The way we are now, following you is just a burden, and we can no longer be your right-hand man......"

"Then be my wings."

The woman interrupted Kenie.

Jack looked up at the woman and said excitedly:

"If the adults don't dislike it, I'm ...... I want to follow you forever. ”

Facing Jack's gaze, the woman said:

"I remember that I once said, guard all your life, never abandon it, and the road ahead, there is me and you."
