Act V Survivors

And survivors?

The square-faced warrior's rather square face couldn't help but show a look of surprise, and his gaze couldn't help but fall on Su Chen's body, and at this time he saw the little boy in Su Chen's arms, whose face was as pale as white paper. The boy's chest was still rising and falling, but it was weak, and the boy could die completely at any moment—he was now unconscious. So the square-faced warrior immediately stepped forward to probe the little boy's snort, and finally said helplessly: "The good news is that he is still alive, but the bad news is that he will not live long." He has been poisoned by the corpse, and now that he is alive, he is already blessed by the gods. We don't have a priest, and it's hard to deal with the poison on his body. ”

"There's not a lot of poison in him." Su Chen said this, his 'rumor' skill gave him a clearer understanding of the little boy's physical state - of course, rumors are not medical treatment, and Su Chen doesn't know how to treat this little boy. But this did not prevent him from inferring from some of the little boy's manifestations that the poison in him was actually not deep: "His skin was pale, but he could not see clearly the nerves under the pale skin...... In this way, the poison of his corpse has not yet reached the point of incurability. If we could see the thick, pitch-black nerves through our skin, the current situation would be irreversible. ”

"Is that so......"

The square-faced warrior was silent for a moment before saying, "Perhaps we can bring him back and have our apothecary prepare him with a potion." Then whether he is still alive or not can only depend on the will of God. ”

“…… That's all there is to it for now. Su Chen nodded, and then he carried the little boy behind him and walked out of the town that had become a purgatory on earth with the square-faced warriors. Su Chen, who walked out of the town, subconsciously opened his task log, because just now when he was carrying the little boy out, he heard a system prompt, and Su Chen, who didn't know much about this game, also realized that this was the prompt sound for him to complete the phased task when he found that his mission log suddenly lit up.

[There are hardly any living mouths in the villages that the necromancers have swept through - except for a little boy.] I might be able to take him in for treatment. 】

Su Chen's eyebrows were raised, but before he had time to think about anything, the square-faced warrior beside him pulled out his weapon from his waist with a serious face, the sharp heavy sword reflected the seeping cold light in the sunlight, but it could not dispel the surprise in Su Chen's heart at all. At this time, there was a cry of 'hungry ......' everywhere in the town, and then in Su Chen's eyes, the corpses that should have died one by one got up one by one and staggered slowly towards him. To tell the truth, Su Chen felt that he was facing the legendary 'Resident Evil', and he couldn't help but look around - first find a pistol to calm down.

He, of course, did not find the pistol. In fact, under the leadership of a few mercenaries, Su Chen easily bypassed the zombie group that had just gotten up from the ground, and if it wasn't really impossible to avoid along the way, the square-faced warrior would not aim the weapons in his hand at those slow-moving zombies, but even if the escape route was very clear, there was not much relief on the face of the square-faced warrior-

"It's weird."

After splitting the head of a zombie with another sword, the square-faced warrior couldn't help but say, "These zombies were supposed to come alive after nightfall, but now they seem to have been attracted by something, and they have woken up from their slumber...... We're afraid we've accidentally touched some 'signal' from a necromancer. The square-faced warrior's words made Su Chen's gaze unconsciously fall on the little boy behind him.

"He's the only survivor here...... At least the only one we came across. He may have some secrets, but now is not the time to think about this - we have to pick things up, can we hold it up, boy? ”

"Although I am a spellcaster, this does not mean that my strength cannot even be carried by a seven or eight-year-old boy." Su Chen said with a smile. These mercenaries in front of them are all going to be at the forefront of the battle, and it is simply impossible for them to carry a person on their backs to fight. In contrast, he is more suitable to play the role of this backer. And judging from Su Chen's years of experience in playing games, this little boy must have a task clue on his body, otherwise he would not have mentioned this little boy on his task panel.

"Let's hurry up then."

The square-faced warrior glanced at Su Chen, and then said in a deep voice. At this time, the sun had already set in the west, but when the light of the setting sun shone on Su Chen's body, he still felt that the time in this game was inevitably too fast...... Maybe it's a psychological effect? Su Chen thought in his heart. But at this time, he had no intention of stopping at all, and when the mercenaries defeated the zombies in front of him, their footsteps ran along the avenue in the center of the village to the gate of the village.

Su Chen didn't forget to look back while running sweaty, and then he saw a group of zombies rushing up as if they were the school gate after school in middle school, even from such a long distance, Su Chen could smell a disgusting smell of corruption. After hesitating for a while, Su Chen immediately followed the fast-running square-faced warrior and the others, and didn't dare to look back anymore - where had a child from such a peaceful place in the real world ever seen such a scene?

If it weren't for the system to eliminate emotions such as nausea, Su Chen estimated that he would have a psychological shadow.

"They're still chasing us......"

After escaping from the village and walking onto the avenue, the square-faced warriors found that the zombies behind them had no intention of stopping, as if they were animals that had smelled the most delicious food, and had no desire to stop. Although after turning into zombies, they are not much different from animals.

Su Chen's forehead was already gradually sweating. He didn't expect that even physical strength was simulated in the game.,Although the body can still hold up.,But it's clear that he was an otaku before that.,He's not very used to this kind of running that consumes physical strength.。

And Su Chen, who ran to this time, couldn't help but ask a question: Who TM came to tell me why the agency people also feel tired?

"No, we can't just bring these guys to the caravan, or we'll all be out of luck." The square-faced warrior's face showed a little solemnity, and he would turn his head to look behind him from time to time as he accelerated and ran - those zombies seemed to smell the most delicious pieces of meat and chased after them, at this time everyone felt that their physical strength was about to bottom out, but they still did not see any hope of breaking free from the zombie army.

Just when the crowd was almost in despair, the sound of horses' hooves rang in their ears. Then they saw - the horse's head was covered with an all-metal hood, and the knight on horseback was wearing silver armor that reflected the blinding light. When these knights appeared on the grassland in front of them with riding spears in their hands, Su Chen and the others even forgot to run away, and looked at those heavily armed knights in amazement.

Then they heard a very loud voice - "Everyone prepare!" ”

Then the spears were raised flat, and the faces of the knights at the forefront were obscured by their silver helmets, and their faces could not be seen clearly, but their resolute and unmoving countenances could still be seen. It's just a lineup of more than two horsemen, but it looks like it's facing thousands of horses, and the momentum is enough to silence anyone.

It's a pity that those zombies are not included in the category of 'human'.

They are still charging forward.

Then, with a gesture from the knight who was at the forefront, all the knights began to ride the horses under their crotches and rushed towards the zombies below without stopping. For a moment, Su Chen and the others could only hear the rumbling sound of horses' hooves around their ears, the sound of horses' hooves beating their eardrums like a drum, they couldn't help but get out of the way of the charge, and then they watched the silver knight legion rush into the zombie horde.

The battle didn't last long before it was over—before the sun had set, the sky was rendered a blood-red, and it seemed that only the remnants of the sky could adorn the battlefield that had just experienced brutal slaughter.

At this time, the knight who was the leader rode a horse and came to Su Chen and the others, and then she took off her helmet, and at this time Su Chen found out that this knight was actually a woman. It's just that her face naturally has a serious expression that belongs to a knight, so almost no one will think of her as a delicate woman.

Especially now that she has just led a team of knights to completely destroy those zombies.

"Civilians, report your identity." The knightess said, "Otherwise, I will arrest you for robbery." ”

Anyone who sees a few heavily armed people in the field will think about the bandits, Su Chen expressed his understanding, but he had to excuse himself. But before he could speak, the square-faced warrior on the side had already handed the identity tag of his mercenary to the female knight, and said, "We are traveling from the city of Belentna to the Fort of the Northland, and if you follow this road all the way to the west, you should be able to see the rest of us stationed there...... My lord. ”

The knightess glanced at the people standing in front of her respectfully, and then said, "It seems that there is a sick number among you, so come with me." I will send you to the location of your caravans, if you have not deceived me. ”

"You are merciful, my lord."
