Chapter 274 Anti-ambush
After calming the civilians a little, Arrow also smiled at Rui Ying and said, "Mr. Histan, if you can calm everyone down a little, don't make them nervous, and let them know that they will be saved if they follow me, then I really thank you very much." β
The old man looked at Arrow with some suspicion, but nodded anyway and stepped back into the crowd.
But when Arrow breathed a sigh of relief, Brad, who was at the front of the team, sent out a "whispered" message again.
"Shhhh
Eero turned around, and in the light of the fire, an "old friend" appeared on the narrow road ahead. The corpse eater was very small, and in terms of size, it could even be a thirteen or fourteen-year-old turned corpse eater.
Through the light of the fire, Iero could even make it clear the torn prison uniform it was wearing, and it looked like the corpse eater had once been a prisoner in this prison.
"Squeak-"
The little ghoul was slowly wandering along the passage, it didn't seem to notice the crowd behind it, and it was now crawling slowly along the passage. The tail of the weak spine didn't even look strong enough that its entire upper body was pressed to the ground after less than two steps, dragging it along continuously. The skin on his body did not completely fade away, some of the skin drooped in front of his chest, and as he dragged continuously, the skin was pulled down little by little, revealing the muscles inside that did not form any deterrent effect at all.
Some of the intestines dragged out of the broken ribcage were still attached to the body, perhaps because they had been dragging on the ground all the time, and the intestines were covered in mud and dust. Obviously, even after becoming a corpse eater, this child still has not been able to gain any great status and power.
The space was small, and Coco stretched out his staff and waved, and the undead soldier appeared at the front of the group. It crept close to the young ghoul, sword stabbing and drawing steadily.
With the blood pouring out, the young corpse eater didn't even have time to let out a scream before he was already lying on the ground, no longer moving.
Retracting the undead soldiers, Coco couldn't help but grit his teeth: "That earl...... Even such a young child ...... That bastard! β
Now was not the time to express his feelings, so Arrow gently rubbed the little necromancer's head and led the team onwards.
As the ramp continues to descend, the number of zombies and corpse eaters blocking along the way also begins to increase.
But with this narrow passage, those corpse eaters and zombies, no matter how numerous they are, can only appear in front of everyone one or two. Among them, the number of zombies and some juvenile ghouls is especially high. As he continued to walk forward, Arrow took a moment of caution and noticed that he could barely see the adult ghoul at the front of the group.
"Calculate the time, it should be daylight by now."
Cream muttered softly.
After a night of walking, coupled with mental stress, the crowd has now become very tired. Especially the civilians, everyone is almost in the process of taking three steps at a time.
Rui Ying rubbed his eyes, and the older one was obviously a little overwhelmed. Seeing that the mermaid song in front of him was still walking non-stop, he couldn't help but step forward and grabbed Brad's sleeve.
"Can you ...... Let's take a break? We've been walking all night, and we're all tired. If it's already dawn now, can we find a place to get some sun? Aren't those monsters afraid of the sun? β
Brad didn't answer, and turned his head to look at Arrow in front of him.
But Arrow looked at the map in his hand, nodded slightly, and said, "Hold on a little longer, it shouldn't take long to reach your destination." β
As soon as I heard Arrow say the destination, the people who were already a little confused in the back immediately cheered up!
Arrow knew what they had misunderstood, but it was not up to him to explain it in detail in this situation. can only let everyone continue to follow themselves forward.
About five minutes later......
Brad at the front of the team pushed open a door, and suddenly, a huge space appeared in front of everyone's eyes! In addition, there is the familiar sound of rushing water!
If you look closely, this large space is as wide as a large square, and there are huge opaque water pipes that almost take ten people to hug together. Directly in front of these pipes, a large amount of water is pouring down the pipes, pushing the blades to rotate.
These are connected in series, and the blades about ten meters in size are constantly rotating under the lapping of the water, and along with these rotations, the huge gears at the end of the blade bearings also roll, driving the various instruments in the entire large space to run non-stop.
There is no doubt that this should be the power center of the entire Tianhe City.
A huge energy delivery center that takes advantage of the huge waterfall and will never run out as long as the water does not run out!
Perhaps because of the various machines in operation, the temperature here is a little more muggy than from the outside.
Arrow raised his torch to observe the surroundings and nodded slightly. He then asked everyone to extinguish their torches, leaving only the one in his hand.
"Now, everybody is hiding in the corner. Next, no matter what happens, don't make a sound, and don't move. Be quiet, calm and patient. As long as we can do this, we have an absolute chance of survival. Guys, got it? β
Hearing Arrow's solemn command now, there is naturally no problem with the mermaid's song, whiskey, and polyester. But the expressions on the faces of the civilians were very suspicious.
After a brief hesitation, Rui Ying seemed to remember what Arrow had just said, turned to the civilians and said, "Okay, let's listen to what the guild leader has to say. I'm sure the president wouldn't want to hurt us, because he had the money to get us out. β
With a skeptical mood, the civilians finally nodded. At the moment, Rui Ying and the civilians were led by the Mermaid Song, and they were scattered in groups of two or three to hide in various corners of this huge square. After all the people were hiding, Arrow walked to the center of the huge space with the only torch in hand.
The brightness of the firelight was really not very abundant, and Arrow could only take a deep breath now, open the prop bag, and pour out all the blood beads inside, and place them on the ground.
After all this was done, he quickly moved behind a large pillar, extinguished the torch in his hand, and waited quietly.
Darkness once again descended on everyone's heads at this moment.
In the darkness, Arrow couldn't even read his fingers, and naturally couldn't tell where he and the other guild members were.
If that monster appeared in front of him at this time, then even if the members of his guild wanted to save it, they would probably not be able to save it.
Slow down your breathing and let your heart beat slower.
Arrow clutched his chest, trying to let himself think about something good, so that his heart would not be crushed by the fear he was now.
I don't know how long I waited in this darkness, but just when Arrow thought his calculations were going to be wrong......
Pap--pa-da-pa-ta--pa-pa-
The familiar footsteps were heard again in this empty square......
ββββ
Inside the Earl's Residence.
"Rest assured! We have sent the most professional team, and we believe that the results will be available soon! β
With a smile on his face, Count Karp kept promising the three sad-looking men in front of him.
These three people in uniform, you look at me, I look at you, they all seem to be a little helpless. After thinking about it, one of them finally said a little helplessly: "I hope your team had better hurry up and not delay time." We've been delayed for too long. β
"Haha, definitely! Certain! β
Seeing Count Karp's promise, the three of them shook their heads and turned to leave the reception room.
After the three of them left, Margaux walked in with a small pot of tea, and when she saw Count Karp, who only looked out of breath but not in breath, she smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Your Excellency." You said that too, right? This kind of professional work has to be done by professional people. I believe you will be able to get a satisfactory result. β
Seeing Margaux, a relaxed smile finally flashed on Count Karp's face full of sadness, and he nodded and said, "I know it will be possible." But after all, this kind of thing is too big, and I'm really afraid of a careless ......."
Margaux poured the Count a cup of tea, and the Count took a sip, pursed his lips, and continuedβ
"What if something goes wrong if you're not careful?"
In this regard, the smile on Margaux's face was still so charming and understanding: "Lord Count, I know that you are worried about the life of His Excellency Eagle Histein. But in this case, everything we can do has been done. Besides, you can't trust the people you send out? β
The Count exhaled slightly, nodded and said, "Letter...... It's trustworthy. It's just a mermaid song...... Alas, forget it. It's really useless to be in a hurry now...... That dead old woman hasn't given me any good looks all day now. Wait for me! If I wait until this time is over, I will divorce that dead old woman even if I say anything! When the time comes, my dear little beauty, I will make you a countess in the open! What I have in the future is what you have! β
