Chapter 5: The Unaware Wood
The roar spread throughout the entire Xianjin Station.
Wood, who had already rushed into a dense forest, shuddered.
Can't stop.
It's been a lot of delay, and no matter what, we have to get there when the Iron City is launched.
Wood's speed is getting faster and faster, and it can't be overstated that it is fleeting, and the vampire system is vividly displayed at this moment.
'Bell-bell-bell-bell-bell......'
The endless bell rang rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it had already resounded in the entire Xianjin Station.
Panic pervades the station.
Wood on the run can't care so much, he has only one goal, that is, to get to the Iron City alive.
But......
'Huh——! ’
Wood suddenly felt a sound of breaking the air coming from behind him, and after becoming a half-vampire, his five senses and reflex nerves were strengthened, and he immediately felt the changes behind him, and subconsciously stopped.
Looking up, a horror appeared in Wood's eyes.
He suddenly realized that there was a flaw in his plan, a big flaw......
Kabane is not concentrated in one area.
The road to the Iron City is not as simple as you think!
At this time, he remembered an inconsequential character in the original book, the head of the Sifang Courtyard, the person in charge of the Xianjin Station.
That is, the father of the main character Sifangyuan Calamus, he is on the road to Jiatiecheng...... It is turned into a cabana.
Unfortunately......
The most important point was overlooked.
The thought in his mind was sharp, but only a moment had passed, and the thing above his head tumbled to the ground, and there was a booming explosion, bursting out bursts of firelight, so bright in the dark night.
It's a carriage!
The whole body is made of steel.
One...... Carriages carrying Kabane.
On the overturned carriage, one figure after another staggered appeared.
Even though he had seen it through the cold screen, Wood's body began to tremble.
That's the real monster......
Tattered clothes.
The skin is dead gray.
In the place of the chest, a heart was glowing, and around it were extended roots like veins, like blood vessels covering the bodies of those monsters.
That's what it is...... Kabane!
When they saw Wood in the forest, the Kabanes screamed.
"Ahh Ahhh Uh-huh, ah......h
The creepy voice made Wood's already extremely white face even paler.
Escape!
You have to run.
I remembered that the safest place now was the Sifang Courtyard family in the highlands of the central area, where the survivors had all fled, and finally went to Jiatie City together.
And the most important factor in this is not the Iron City, but the ......
Kabaneri.
A special being between Kabane and humans, this special being has Kabane's powerful strength, speed, self-healing power, and at the same time has human wisdom and agility.
The reason why the survivors of the Sifang Courtyard family in the central area were able to reach the Iron City safely was because of a girl who was resting here, the 'Nameless' Kabaneri!
"Ah......hh Ahhh Ahhh......hh
But in an instant, the large group of Kabane had already rushed towards him.
Wood shuddered at this, and completely instinctively raised his left hand Gatling, and pulled the trigger with his right hand.
Be useful!
With a silent thought, Wood pressed the trigger.
Six barrels of the central shaft began to rotate.
'Da Da ......'
The deafening sound of gunfire instantly resounded throughout the forest, and the bullets rained down on the Kabane, making a series of 'puff puff' sounds, and the recoil that returned back shook Wood, but in a blink of an eye, he got used to it.
"Kill everyone who wants to kill me!!"
That's right!
Whatever it is, anyone who tries to kill me will die!
Wood's face was hideous, and he looked so crazy, or rather, he was mad now, driven mad by the fear of death.
The bullets swept down as if they didn't need money, and under this kind of bullet rain, there was no need for any accuracy at all, and Wood only needed to control the power that Gatling fed back.
One by one, Kabane was knocked to the ground by the rain of bullets, but Wood did not stop, and kept shooting left and right on the ground with a hideous face.
Dust rose from the sky, enveloping all the Kabanes on the ground.
The shooting lasted for nearly a minute, and Wood came back to his senses, the smoke and dust rising from the ground had gradually dispersed, and the blood-stained soil reflected in Wood's eyes, and Wood looked stunned.
The flesh was scattered to the ground, and under the torrential rain of bullets, all the Kabanes were torn to pieces, and the disgusting smell of blood permeated the air.
Wood only felt a churn in his abdomen, but in the blink of an eye, he forcibly pressed him down.
Now is not the time to vomit.
Although Gatling's power greatly surprised Wood, the sound of the gunfire just now would surely attract the attention of the scattered Kabane, and once surrounded, even if he held two Gatlins, he would definitely die.
Wood hesitated, then turned around and headed towards the center.
It was too dangerous to go to the Iron City alone, but it was safest to go to the Iron City with that nameless attraction to Kabane.
There are definitely not a few people who go to the Iron City with the same idea as themselves.
They will all be the Kabane of the Reserve, knowing that although bitten, they will become Kabane in three days. But once they are bitten to death on the spot, they will immediately change into Kabane after a few minutes of faking death.
There is no doubt that there are definitely a lot of Kabanes on the way to the Iron City.
Determined to make up his mind, Wood did not hesitate, relying on his night vision ability to move all the way through the shadows.
Using his speed and eyesight, Wood avoided Kabane from a distance.
The road was unobstructed, and in just half an hour, he had already reached the central area.
Hidden in the shadows of the house, sneaking into the brightly lit streets, Wood felt gratitude to the vampire for the first time, and without the vampire's abilities, he might have died many times along the way.
"Hurry up and run."
"Go to the Iron City!"
“……”
Vocals?
Although it was inaudible, the enhanced hearing allowed Wood to instantly discern the direction of the sound, and when he turned his head, he saw that the dense figures in the passage of the high ground in the distance were running in a certain direction.
Wood breathed a sigh of relief that he would be safe as soon as he blended in with those people.
Don't be careless now!
There is an unknown number of cabanes hidden in this brightly lit street, and a careless person may be besieged.
Wood stomped the ground, and his figure rushed out like a ghost.
……
A petite figure kept shuttling around the house, two crimson steam canisters in his hands shooting from time to time.
It was a young girl with shoulder-length black hair as black as ink.
It wears a red costume mixed with white and black, which is a type of combat uniform from the design point of view.
And behind her was Kabane, who was attracted to him somehow much.
'Bang bang bang-'
The girl's nimble body is like a nimble cat, jumping from rooftop to rooftop, and each shot will cause a Kabane to die.
The precision is staggering.
The body is also agile, not like a human being.
"Huh?"
A pleasant voice came out of her mouth, and when she looked in the direction that she had just caught out of the corner of her eye, she was greeted by a strange boy hiding in the shadows of the house.
The girl's brow furrowed.
In this case, you are still carrying such a large box?
Is he an idiot?
With a curse in her heart, the girl was ready to withdraw her gaze and ignore this self-defeating little ghost.
It's not that she's cruel, it's that she's now attracting Kabane's attention, and naming the path for that imp in the past would hasten his death.
But at that moment, the boy moved!
The girl's pupils shrank, and a look of shock appeared on her pretty face.
In her field of vision, the boy turned into a black line, constantly moving from the shadow of one house to another, and she was blown away by the speed at which she moved.
Fast as the wind.
Lightning Thunder.
And this figure seems to be integrated with the night, and she can't even capture the breath of the other party.
"What a terrible speed!"
Seeing the strange young man disappear into the night in a blink of an eye, the girl was shocked, and couldn't help but wonder, why did such a powerful person look so flustered? Isn't it always fearing these Kabanes?
……
Wood had no idea that he had just been exposed to the eyes of a young girl, nor did he know what the girl was saying about him.
In fact, even if he met Kabane in person, he didn't have to be afraid, because with Wood's speed, Kabane couldn't touch him at all, but the fear of death made Wood ignore his speed.
