Chapter 549: Zombie Siege (Part I)
In the next few days, things deteriorated further as Ruan Chi expected, and those corpse poisons spread like a plague, and soon there were three or four kittens to thousands of people today.
The reason for this situation is not that Sister Orfina does not work hard, but that the selfishness of human nature is the cause.
Although some people were bitten by zombies, they didn't dare to tell others because they were afraid that they would be caught and locked up, until they finally bit others when the corpses changed.
In such a vicious circle, the number of zombies naturally increases.
Although the Kingdom of Bostan sent a large number of soldiers to suppress and arrest all the zombies, as the number of infected corpse poisoners increased dramatically, the prison used to hold them gradually became crowded.
Not only that, but the most terrifying thing is that so far, the Holy See has not had any effective way to stop the spread of corpse poison, not even holy water.
Although Sister Orfina asked the Holy See to mobilize a lot of priests, once she was infected with corpse poison, no matter how many people there were, it would be in vain.
In desperation, Sister Orfina had to temporarily order that people who had not yet been infected with the corpse poison should stay at home and not move around at will, so as not to be attacked by zombies.
Now the whole city of Saipan is already panicked, if it weren't for a legendary figure like Sister Orfina, I am afraid that there would have been a riot long ago, and she might still be obediently hiding at home.
Also panicked and restless was Rhodes, the eldest prince of the king at the time, who was with his second brother, sister and queen mother at this time.
"Mother, are we really not leaving? Although the Holy See has sent someone to deal with it, but in the past few days. The number of infected people in the city is increasing. The prison for those zombies won't fit anywhere. I'm really worried that if we don't leave, it will be too late for us to leave when the whole city of Saipan becomes a zombie paradise. ”
Rhodes was trying to convince Queen Tritini at this time.
But Queen Tritini was still unmoved, but looked at him coldly, and said: "Silly son, why are you still so confused when you become a king, do you think the Holy See really can't do anything about this disaster?" ”
"Is there a way for them? Even the Virgin is now at a loss. I don't think she can help it. Rod pouted disdainfully.
"Big brother, your guts are too small, aren't you? It's not just some zombies, even if the Holy Mother can't help it, the entire Holy See can send some people over and directly kill all the people who have become zombies. Compared with the eldest prince, the young third princess Raphna is much calmer.
"What do you know? Those zombies are terrifying. "A few days ago, in order to cheer up the soldiers in the city who suppressed zombies, Rhodes went to the scene of the suppression. At that time, the bloody scene, Rod still remembers it vividly, and now that he thinks about it, he still feels that his scalp is fried.
"Son. Now no matter what, you have to carry it. As long as you lead the ministers and the people to win this battle, then your throne will be secure. Queen Tritini said earnestly at this time.
"But, I'm still afraid." Rod shuddered.
"Afraid? If you run away today, I'm afraid you won't want to be the king, and once you lose the throne, that's when you really have to be afraid. "Queen Tritini doesn't have a good breath.
When Rod heard this, he seemed to feel that it made sense, he finally sat on this throne, and if he lost it now, he was very unwilling.
"Okay, I'll carry it." Rod finally gritted his teeth.
"This is my good son." Queen Tritini nodded in satisfaction.
……
At the same time, Ruan Chi was walking down the street with Rachel at this time.
"Early in the morning, what are you doing here?" Walking side by side with Ruan Chi, Rachel asked a little incomprehensibly.
Because of the zombies entering the city, the originally lively streets have become quiet, and the shops and taverns on both sides are all closed.
"I didn't plan to do anything, I just stayed in the house for a little bit and wanted to come out and relax." When Ruan Chi answered, his tone was very casual, and his eyes kept looking back and forth on the street.
"Come out for a walk, you liar, really be my three-year-old child." Rachel pursed her lips, naturally not believing Ruan Chi's nonsense.
"I was going to come alone, but you had to come with me." Ruan Chi said innocently.
"It's okay for you to say, you got up early this morning and sneaked out, if you hadn't been caught by me, you would definitely have to run out and do something shady."
After saying that, Rachel turned to look at Ruan Chi, as if to see something on his face.
"Well, am I so unbearable in your mind?" Ruan Chi was a little crying and laughing.
"Almost, anyway, I've known you for so long, I've never seen you honest, if it weren't for the old lady who lost her body to you, how could she end up committing to you, now that I think about it, it's really a bit of a loss." Rachel said with a grimace.
"......" Ruan Chi was sweating profusely when he heard this, and he didn't dare to reason with her anymore.
The two walked for a long time, and finally saw people in front of a church, all of them civilians who had come to collect holy water and return to it for backup.
Although the effect of holy water on corpse poison is minimal, in order to increase the hope of survival, those civilians can't control so much.
Now in the entire Saipan City, I am afraid that only this place may have people, when Ruan Chi and Rachel came here, they saw a long queue at the door of the church from a distance.
There were several long tables, two clerical officers of the Holy See were busy distributing holy water, and there was a group of soldiers from the Kingdom of Bostan nearby to maintain order.
Ruan Chi glanced at it a few times, didn't find anything abnormal, and was about to turn around and leave, but at this moment, a burst of exclamations suddenly erupted in the crowd.
"Come on, there are zombies here!"
With this roar, as if a stone had been thrown into the calm lake, there was a ripple, and everyone dispersed with frightened expressions, and in a few moments a father and son were surrounded by the crowd.
"That kid is a zombie, I see he's hurt!"
The man who first noticed the problem yelled, pointing to the father and son, who were surrounded by the crowd.
"No, my kids haven't turned zombies yet. I beseech you don't take him away. "The father was probably in his forties. The face of the national character. Holding a four- or five-year-old boy in his arms, he said in an excited tone.
"What's going on?" Rachel watched the scene in amazement, a little unsure.
"The child should have been bitten, but the father of the child doesn't seem to want to hand it over." Ruan Chi touched his chin and summed up the matter in a few words.
Sure enough, Rachel quickly noticed that the child who was being held by his father had a dull expression and white eyes. Hold a thick gauze close to the wrist of your left hand.
Although the child's father covered it well, the child's wound was still dripping blood, and the blood with the corpse poison was dripping black on the ground.
At this time, the Bostan soldiers who were responsible for maintaining order had already surrounded them, and according to the fixation, the infected people had to be arrested and locked up.
The child's father obviously knew what kind of fate his child was going to face, and when he saw the soldiers surrounding him, he was even more excited, knelt on the ground and said, "No." You can't take him away, he's just a child. ”
said. The child's father turned to the two clerical officers and pleaded, "God of Chaos, please have great mercy on this child. ”
When the two priests saw this scene, they were a little sad, but they were also helpless about the child's father's request.
The holy water had long been proven to have no effect on corpse poison, and the child was already infected, in other words, he was hopeless.
"Sir, you better leave this child, looking at his appearance, it is estimated that he is going to be a corpse, and you will be very dangerous." For the sake of the child's father, one of the priests tried to persuade him.
"No, don't try to separate me from the child." The father was even more agitated when he heard this, and he took out a scythe from his bosom.
The father kept waving his scythe and shouted, "Stand back, all of you stand back for me." ”
"What now?" Rachel frowned, obviously a little worried that things would get bigger.
"Doesn't seem to have anything to do with us?" Ruan Chi said distressedly, he didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing if he went out casually and walked around.
Rachel obviously wanted to intervene, and without waiting for Ruan Chi's consent, the person had already moved forward.
At the same time, the Bostan soldiers had surrounded the father and son, and the first big man shouted to the father, "I am the Welsh captain of the City Guard, and I warn you to lay down your arms and hand over the child at once, or else do not blame us for using force." ”
", I'm not going to let you take my baby."
Wales' expression was cold when he heard this, since the other party refused to cooperate, then don't blame him, in fact, the new King Bostan had already ordered that as long as anyone infected with corpse poison is found, he can be arrested by coercive means, so Wales doesn't care about the life or death of this kind of civilian.
"Grab it!"
With a cold snort from Wales, the soldiers immediately rushed forward with weapons in hand, and the father was even more agitated when he saw this, holding the child in one hand and waving the sickle in his hand in the other.
The two sides were about to fight each other, and at this moment, Rachel arrived, and saw that her figure was like a fluttering butterfly, suddenly rushing out from behind the crowd, and in an instant in front of the father.
"Who?" Seeing someone break in, Wales's expression changed, and he motioned for his men to stop, and shouted at Rachel.
"Don't be nervous, we're here to help you."
Rachel hadn't spoken yet, Ruan Chi here happened to catch up, although he didn't quite agree with Rachel's "nosy" problem, but Ruan Chi couldn't really care, so at the same time as Rachel made a move, Ruan Chi was ready to turn over the rhetoric.
"Who are you?" Wales frowned, looked at Ruan Chi and asked.
"We were sent by Sister Orfina." Ruan Chi said lightly.
"Sister Orfina?" Hearing this, although Wales did not speak on the surface, his attitude slowed down a lot, "Since Sister Orfina sent it, then please leave it to you." ”
At this time, the Tucson mutated, and the child who was being held by his father suddenly let out a high-pitched cry and then bit the father's arm.
"Ahh York, what are you doing? “
The father let out a snort, but instead of letting go of the child, he held him back, hoping to calm him down.
But the child had lost his reason by this time, not only his eyes were white, but his mouth was cracked to reveal his fangs, although the corpse poison had invaded his brain.
"Oh no, that kid is going to be a corpse." Wales' face changed and he exclaimed.
"Sir, don't worry, this side will solve it quickly."
Ruan Chi smiled, as soon as the words fell, Rachel had already made a move, her movements were very fast, and she came to the father and son in an instant.
"Sorry, it's a little rougher." Rachel first showed an unbearable look, and her two hands were already wrapped around a faint layer of cyan fighting energy, and she grabbed the father and the child respectively with lightning speed.
"No!"
At the father's screams, the child was ripped apart by Rachel, and the two were subdued by a group of soldiers.
"Tie them all up and lock them up." Wales ordered.
Rachel breathed a sigh of relief when the father and son were dragged away, but she felt a little uncomfortable looking at the way the father yelled.
"It's not good, it didn't hurt them." Ruan Chi walked over and said with a smile.
"But the father and son will be imprisoned next, and it is estimated that it will be impossible to meet again." Rachel whispered.
"When did you learn to empathize with them? Don't you hate Terrans very much? Ruan Chi said with a smile.
"I hate Terrans very much, but that kind of thing happens to a father and son, and it's impossible for anyone to ignore it." Rachel said lightly.
At this time, two priests from the Holy See came over, and one of them said with a grateful face, "Thank you two for helping us, I wonder if you are with Sister Orfina?"
"We are the adventurers that Sister Orfina invited back." Ruan Chi said.
"I see, I don't know what is going on with you?" Another priest asked.
"We didn't have anything else to do, we were just passing through." Ruan Chi said truthfully.
“……“
After such a small episode, after leaving the church, Ruan Chi and Rachel were about to go somewhere else, but at this moment, the voice of Deep Blue suddenly sounded.
"Host, there's a large set of complex numbers approaching?"
"What's the situation?"
Ruan Chi was stunned for a moment, and was about to ask what was going on, when the light in the sky suddenly dimmed, Ruan Chi and Rachel looked up at the same time, and just saw a gray mist floating outside Saipan City.
"Why is it foggy all of a sudden?" Rachel looked puzzled, it stands to reason that it is July now, and it is a hot summer, even if it is the Kingdom of Bostan in the south, it should be impossible for rain and fog to appear.
Unlike Rachel, Ruan Chi could see the origin of this gray mist at a glance, and with the hint from the dark blue elder sister just now, he had already directly supported his forehead, "War Mist, how did this thing float here from the Forgotten Country?" (To be continued......)
