Chapter 269 - Harmony
For others, polyester may not care so much. But for Arrow's words, this retired warrior, the current carpenter, turned around and looked at the guild leader with a puzzled face.
"President Arrow? What do you mean ......? ”
Arrow smiled, nodded slightly, and said, "What I mean should be obvious, right?" We can stop doing it for the time being, and when the people from the Holy See of Light come, we can find a way to save this lady, can't we? ”
Coco on the side became a little nervous, and hurriedly gently pulled Ailuo's sleeve, and said softly: "Brother President!" Are you trying to make that ...... Do bad women come to treat? That woman is so cruel, how can she save people? ”
As for Coco's question, Arrow was inconvenient to answer for the time being, but smiled and said, "What do you think of my proposal?" Whiskey, polyester, I would like to ask, will those ghouls actively attack these infected people? ”
Whiskey thought for a moment and said, "Well...... I haven't seen any of these scenes. It seems that once they become infected and turned into zombies, these ghouls will no longer attack them...... Have you ever seen a ghoul attack a zombie? ”
The men looked at each other and shook their heads. Seeing this, Arrow also had a bottom in his heart, and continued to smile and said: "Since corpse eaters don't attack zombies, then we can tie this lady somewhere here first. Well...... I think it's good on that pipe? We can tie her up here so that she can't run around and so she doesn't hurt people again. ”
"Then, when the rescue of the Holy See of Light comes, we will come here with the priest to save your wife, won't that be enough?"
Hearing such an answer, Polyester seemed a little hesitant. He thought for a moment and said with some hesitation: "So? But ......"
"Okay, don't. Or do you think there's a better way to solve the problem right now? ”
Polyester looked at Arrow, and after a moment of silence, the long sword he was holding was finally slowly put down.
Seeing this, the anxiety on the husband's face immediately changed to joy, and he kowtowed to Polyester and Arrow again and again to express his gratitude.
Without further ado, Arrow asked Polyester and Whiskey to step forward and tie the woman firmly to the pipe. That is, at the moment when she was just tied, the woman's pupils lost the last bit of focus, and the whole person lost her mind like a zombie, and kept opening her mouth to everyone. Looking at that posture, it was completely a feeling of wanting to eat the human flesh here as soon as possible.
Seeing his wife become what she is now, the husband is also a little hesitant now. But his mood stabilized a little, and after a word or two with his wife, who had turned into a zombie, he returned to the crowd and stayed quietly.
At this point, Coco pulled Arrow again. But the guild leader still smiled and nodded at her, but did not answer the girl's question.
And the answer to this question......
It is naturally impossible to save people.
If the people of the Bright Sect wanted to come, they should have come a long time ago, and they shouldn't have dragged it until their own border guild arrived here, and there was not a single priest in the entire city who worked.
As for letting that woman with powerful light magic come to the rescue, in terms of her character, the possibility is really low.
So, this poor woman must have completely turned into a zombie, and there is no way to recover, right?
But even so, it shouldn't be killed here now.
Although Arrow is unclear about the relationship between whiskey, polyester and these civilians, when these civilians are incapacitated, the two retired soldiers with weapons in their hands will kill one of them "who is theoretically completely hopeless, and may still be dangerous", which can also lead to a very serious problem.
That is, the issue of "trust" between these civilians and these two retired soldiers.
In fact, Arrow felt that he should wake up to the fact that there was indeed no problem with the fighting ability and judgment of the correctness of things of the two soldiers, Whiskey and Polyester, but they had a shortcoming, that is, they did not know how to do some emotional thinking outside of reason at the right time.
They didn't think about what these civilians would think of them after killing people in such a grand way. In this underground passage where there are no known number of corpse eaters, if there is a disagreement between the teams, it can be even more deadly than being surrounded by corpse eaters!
Therefore, at this time, it is better to adopt a more gentle treatment method to make these civilians feel that these two people are not completely emotionless killing machines, and it is better to come.
On the other hand, it will take time for the husband to be able to understand that his wife is indeed hopeless. Such a relatively long period of time can also allow him to recover from the impulsive emotions just now and move on to the rest of his life.
Naturally, this kind of practice of clearly knowing that this woman is no longer saved, but still preaching hope to these civilians, can not let Coco know.
While Brad, Cream and the others were handling the four corpses and examining their hearts, Arrow glanced at the seemingly quiet crowd and said to Whiskey and Polyester, "Why are you two here?" What about vodka? He must have come to you for a note he left behind. ”
Whiskey raised his sleeve and wiped the sweat from his forehead, shook his head and said, "Vodka? When that guy got to my house, he hid in the attic and was too scared to come out. When I came out, he didn't know where he had gone, and he probably had escaped from the city. ”
At this time, Polyester responded: "The owner of the Firebird Bar?" He came to me and said that he had a shipment hidden in the underground passage and hoped that I could help him get it. But I didn't have time to talk to him at that time, so I reluctantly answered. Now think about it...... Let's hope he doesn't come here alone. ”
Thinking of the vodka boss who had the same face as the little liquor boss, but didn't feel stable no matter how he looked at it, Arrow's eyebrows rose slightly, and to be honest, he was a little worried.
Coco then spoke, "So, Uncle Whiskey, Uncle Polyester, and everyone, what are you doing here?" ”
Whiskey smiled at the little necromancer and said, "We're here to exterminate the ghouls here." ”
Hearing this, Arrow's brows couldn't help frowning slightly: "Exterminate the corpse eater? You guys? And what about those in the back? ”
Polyester also walked over now, waved his hand and said, "President Arrow, you can listen to us finish talking." Well...... Let's start from the beginning. ”
"About half a month ago, those zombies suddenly began to emerge from various sewers, causing a certain amount of panic in the entire Tianhe City. The Count then asked everyone to hide in their rooms and not go out, and at the same time sent troops to exterminate the monsters. ”
But then, the Count's extermination seems to have failed, and the Count promised everyone that he would ask for help from the capital and from the Church. But we just can't wait that long. After all, there are still some people living in the underground passages of the entire Tianhe City, these people may not have much money and have no way to live in the bright sun, but they are still residents of Tianhe City after all. ”
At the same time, the Earl promised that since his soldiers were currently unable to open the underground passages, he would be willing to reward anyone who was willing to do their part to exterminate the Ghouls! To be honest, that's a lot of money~~~"
"Therefore, the two of us together, we feel that at this time, even if our two soldiers have retired, we should also take on the responsibility of surrounding the people. So just two days ago I came in through a sewer that was still open and safe. No, that's saved so many people. ”
Arrow crossed his hands on his hips with a little cry and said, "In other words, you two are here to save people for money?" Sounds like something that only a money-paying adventurer would do. ”
Polyester smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "After all, the earl really gave too much." Let's not talk about my condition, let's talk about this guy, isn't he a blacksmith? If he wants to build a blacksmith shop, he needs enough money. So as long as this mission is completed, he will be able to use the money to build a blacksmith shop and live well with his wife and children. ”
Hearing Polyester say these words with a little teasing, Whiskey couldn't help it, and said with a smile: "Don't just talk about me, aren't you also doing these things for money?" In the past two days, you have been telling me that as long as this mission is successfully completed and you get the money, you can successfully open your own carpentry shop. Isn't that what you've always dreamed of? You also said that you will build a house for your wife and children by your own hands when the time comes! ”
The two retired soldiers laughed, which also made the atmosphere here a little more relaxed.
After the two of them teased a few words, Arrow continued: "I see, the Earl's soldiers failed in their overcome...... How do you know? Because along the way, the corpse eaters we met seemed to have changed from ordinary civilians (pointing to the broken clothes on those corpse eaters), and we didn't see any soldiers turned into corpse eaters. On the other hand......"
