Volume 1 The Fuse Chapter 42 A woman is soft-hearted

Moments later, we walked towards the wounded soldier.

"Your Excellency!"

When he saw us coming, he stopped when he wanted to turn over and get on his horse, and saluted us instead.

He still looks energetic and moves very quickly.

I came up to him and asked:

"What is the injury?"

"Thank you for your concern, it's just a little injury, it's not in the way."

There was a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

But my expression was serious.

"I'm asking you what part of the injury is there."

I accentuated my tone.

"This ......"

He was visibly stunned for a moment, and he didn't react until another soldier next to him touched him with his elbow.

"Report to your Excellency, it's your left arm."

He raised his left arm and rolled up his sleeve.

The wound has been bandaged and it is not clear that the specific situation is clear.

"Untie."

"But, my lord, ......"

"Untie it!"

"Chen Yingying," the spirit on the side said to me:

"Isn't it appropriate to untie his wound after it has been bandaged?"

I turned to look at the psyche.

"Phantom Lord, I have already said before, those wolves are zombies, don't you know what the consequences of being injured by zombies are?"

"What is a zombie?"

Whew-

I exhaled a cloudy breath to stabilize my mind.

I almost forgot that the people of this world don't know what zombies are!

I was so anxious that I forgot to explain it to them first. Moreover, the tone of what he spoke to the soldiers just now was also a little too tough.

"Zombies are a kind of monster, they have no emotion, no consciousness, only bloodthirsty instincts. Once bitten by them, they will become just like them and become a new zombie. ”

I glanced at the soldier and continued to say to the Psychic Illusion:

"So once you are bitten by a zombie, you have to cut off the injured part before you become a zombie."

The soldier's trembling voice came from the side:

"Great, great! I was just scratched and not bitten ......"

I turned to look him in the eye and spoke in a slower tone.

"So I want to see if your injuries have worsened, if the injuries worsen, then it proves that being scratched will also turn into zombies, and the same will cut off your arms, and I am also for your good."

"Untie." This time it's a psychic order.

The soldier slowly unfastened the bandage, revealing the claw marks on his arms.

It was indeed a scratch, but there was a large red patch near the wound, and the muscles at the wound were beginning to rot.

I pulled out the saber from his waist.

"Don't, don't, I'm fine, I'm really fine......" He hurriedly knelt down and pleaded with me.

I said helplessly:

"The wound has already started to deteriorate, so you can only cut it off as soon as possible to avoid turning into a zombie."

"My lord, my lord, my lord......" he turned to the phantom, pleading continuously.

"Chen Yingying, if the wound is contaminated with impure things such as sand and dust, there will also be redness. Judging from the current wound situation, it can't be concluded that it is a trend of transformation to zombies, right? ”

"Yes, yes, I just accidentally fell and my wound was covered with dust...... the soldier quickly explained.

"But Lord Psychic, his wounds are already showing signs of decay, and it is very likely that they will continue to deteriorate, and it will not be solved by cutting off his arm at that time."

The psychic fell silent, clearly hesitating.

"My lord, my lord, my lord, I'm willing to bet, it's going to get better...... Phantom Lord, please give me a chance, I'll be fine. Don't cut off my hands, please give me a chance......"

"Chen Yingying, wait a while and decide depending on the situation."

Alas-

Women, after all, they are still soft-hearted.

"Well, I hope my judgment is wrong!" I looked at the soldier again and said:

"If the injury worsens again, be sure to let me know as soon as possible."

In fact, I am already suspected of overstepping my authority, because this soldier is a psychic subordinate. But I can't help it, I'm afraid she won't be able to bear to do it to her own subordinates when the time comes.

It's a girl after all!

The Phantom turned over and got on his horse and waved his hand.

"Back to camp!"

"Lord Psychic, before I came, I had already ordered the team to set off for Marina City."

"You-"

Linghuanxiu frowned slightly, and then shouted at the soldiers behind him:

"Let's go!"

It's not that I don't want to have a good relationship, it's just that the situation is urgent and there is no room for delay.

Looking at the back of the spirit, I sighed helplessly, then turned over and got on the horse, rode with Liya, and chased in the direction of the large army.

During this time, I also quietly observed the wounded soldier a few times. Although his arm had been rebandaged and the wound was not visible, everything was normal from the look on his face.

It seems that I really misjudged this time, and getting scratched doesn't turn into a zombie. It's better that way, though.

It didn't take long for us to catch up with the big force.

Two cavalry captains greeted us.

"Hero-sama! Phantom Lady! ”

I looked at Angus and asked:

"Did you encounter wolves along the way?"

"Report to your lordship, I heard a wolf howl a few times, but we all followed your lordship's orders and went around from a distance."

"Well done, order the team to move forward at full speed and get out of this plain as soon as possible."

"Yes, sir!"

All the way to the east for nearly a hundred miles, during which I heard the howl of wolves from time to time, as well as the abnormal sounds made by some other animals.

As they approached the edge of the grassland, Psychic ordered the team to stop and repair.

"Lord Spirit, it's not dawn yet, let's get out of this grassland as soon as possible."

"Chen Yingying, the team has been running for a day during the day, and they haven't been able to rest well at night, and now they have been running for so long, not only the soldiers are tired, but the horses also need to rest."

Looking at the surrounding soldiers, it was indeed sleepy and tired, and all of them were mentally exhausted.

Liya was already lying on my back, and if it hadn't been for the bumpy ride on the horse, she would have fallen asleep.

"It's true that everyone has been working very hard, but you can also hear that all the animal cries along the way are clearly abnormal. It is estimated that this grassland is no longer safe, so it is better to leave here as soon as possible and get to the town ahead to rest. ”

"Chen Yingying, it will take at least half an hour to get out of this grassland, but the soldiers are all exhausted."

Before I could speak, the spirit continued:

"As the leader of a team, you must be responsible for your subordinates and not let the soldiers carry out impossible tasks."

"I'm just here to ...... everyone"

The soldiers all looked at me with pleading in their eyes. Even the cavalry captain Angus hung his head from the sidelines, looking listless.

"Okay, everyone just take a break here, but you have to be on high alert."

The soldiers let out a cheer, then dismounted and sat on the ground, and some even fell asleep on the ground.

"Ahh

A scream suddenly rang out, followed by a roar. The soldiers rose from the ground.

"What's going on?"

Psychic shouted at the same time as me.

A soldier rushed to report in a panic.

"Great, great, monster!"

Hurried to the place where the screams sounded, only to see a soldier pressed to the ground by several people, and his mouth kept letting out a hoarse roar.

"Roar—"

He struggled to get up, but was held down by several men.

When he looked up, I saw his face, the same soldier who had been scratched by the zombie wolf earlier. By this time, his arm had completely festered, revealing the white bones inside, and there was a purple-red bulge on his neck that spread to his face like a small snake.

His eyes had turned blood-red, revealing a thirst for flesh.

Another soldier next to him had a piece of flesh torn off his right arm and was shivering.

"This ......"

The Phantom stood aside, mouth open, but speechless.

I looked at her and said:

"He's become a zombie."

Lingleng stayed in place, still not speaking.

I had no choice but to order the soldier who had turned into a zombie to be killed, and then the body was burned with fire.

She didn't stop it.

Another soldier who had just been bitten on the arm crawled up to me and kowtowed.

"Hero, hero, save me, save me, I'm not like that......"

"If you don't want to be like that, you can only cut off your right hand as soon as possible."

He was silent, he hesitated.

"I'm sorry, that's the only way at the moment, and the bite will happen sooner."

After saying that, I watched him quietly and let him decide for himself.

Because I believe that after experiencing the horror of zombies firsthand, he will definitely make the right decision.

After only a few moments, he gritted his teeth, stretched out his right hand, and handed the saber at his waist to me.

"Please help me."

He regained some composure.

I reached for the hilt of my knife, after all, even in this situation, knowing that I would die if I didn't cut it, few people could cut off their own hands themselves.

"Let me come!"

A coquettish cry came, it was a spirit.

It seems a little inappropriate to say that it is coquettish, after all, girls are born with a thin voice.

And she looked resolute at this time, and she must have understood that the previous wrong decision had killed the soldier, and the soldier in front of her was also going to break his arm.

Lingphantom took the knife and shouted in a low voice:

"Hold back!"

The soldier nodded heavily.

The knife flashed, and an arm fell to the ground.

"I'm sorry!"

She apologized to the soldier and then bandaged his wounds herself.

Whew—

Whew—

The strange wolf howl sounded again, and the sound was not very far away, and it came from multiple directions.

"Evacuate quickly!"

It was an order from the spirit, and she had already seen the horror of the zombie wolf.

The soldiers had already turned on their horses at the moment when the wolf howl sounded, waiting for the order to evacuate, as if the exhaustion on their bodies had long been swept away.

The team moved eastward as fast as they could, and the wolf howl was constantly heard in the rear.

After a night of running wildly, the sky was already light. The wolf howl behind him gradually faded away.

Throwing off the zombie wolves, the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down.

At this time, the team had moved away from the grassland and into a mountainous area, thinking that it was already safe.

And judging from the situation in the last city of fear, zombies should be afraid of the sun.

But I'm not sure, just like I used to think that if I was scratched, I wouldn't be infected and turned into a zombie.

"Look, sir."

Angus suddenly called out to me, pointing his right hand to the north.

Looking in that direction, a human figure can be seen on the top of a hillside. Vaguely, it seemed to be a middle-aged man.

The man sat on a large four-legged monster with several smaller monsters beside him.

The monsters resemble dogs, but are larger than normal dogs.

In particular, the one under the man's seat was about ten times larger than an ordinary dog, with three heads, and the hair on his whole body showed a strange color from red to black, with a collar around his neck, and his eyes glowed with a strange orange light.
