Section 135: Boiling (7)
Susan.
It seems that someone is calling themselves.
The Northland woman tried hard to open her eyes, but she felt very tired, and she couldn't open her eyes when she was tired.
Susan, wake up.
Someone shook himself.
This time, the Northland woman opened her eyes, and she struggled to raise her head and saw the woman kneeling in front of her.
Not knowing her at all, Susan shook her head, she couldn't feel her left leg, so she struggled and sat up with the help of the woman.
She saw her legs, still there, but they were smashed to a bloody pulp.
"Susan, there was a sudden explosion on the other side of the circle, and now the whole area over there has collapsed, what are we going to do?" She asked.
Susan shook her head effortlessly, "Who are you?" She asked, reaching out to wipe the object covering her left eye, and she saw the blood on the back of her hand.
"Susan, I'm Hamm." The girl looked at Susan with a sad face: "What's wrong with you, how could you forget me." β
"I ...... My head hurts. Susan looked bitter as she looked at the companion in front of her, "Is my head badly injured?" β
"Yes, it's all blood, but it doesn't look deadly, or you'd have died." The girl smiled, "Great, I thought you were going to die." β
"I ...... Maybe luck is still on my side. She smiled, and then stood up with the help of the maiden named Hamm.
The passage was full of dust, and Susan found that she couldn't remember where it was, why she was here, and she shouldn't have been on the circle before.
Suspicious, she saw someone coming from the other side, and just as they were about to shout, they saw something unusual about the personβit was a dead man with a broken neck, looking behind him, moving at a very unusual pace.
Hamm and Susan raised their hands to cover each other's mouths at the same time, and then, rejoicing in each other's strength, they began to cautiously retreat to the other side of the passage, as more and more corpses came out of the passage, and only the upper half of the dead was crawling.
It saw the two girls and screamed.
Now, there was no need to be careful, and they quickly turned and began to run.
"What's going on!" Susan looked behind her.
"It looks like a believer with Nurgle has mixed in!" Hamm looked behind her, watching the corpses run on their hands and feet, and she reached out and put a greasy spell behind her.
The corpses rolled in a ball, but some simply ran down the wall in pursuit, others flew over the greasy zone with a single jump.
"There's a dead end ahead!" Susan let out a scream.
"Come here!" Hamm grabbed Susan's hand, and the two of them rushed into a small room, where Hamm closed the door and Susan knocked down the tool cabinet in front of the door, and then saw the corpses start pounding on the door frantically.
"You go up the ladder first!" Hamm shouted.
Susan turned and climbed up the iron ladder that led to the street.
At the top, she pushed the lid open, and then she heard the dense gunfire outside, and she poked her head out to look around, and found that she was surrounded by a small space of trees, as if in some small square.
"Susan, what are you waiting for!" Hamm's voice came from below: "Oh my God, there's gunfire outside." β
Susan climbed out of the maintenance shaft, pressed against the ground, and reached out to pull Hamm up.
There are corpses down there, and they may be able to run and jump, but they are corpses after all, and not being able to climb up ladders is their greatest weakness.
"Oh my God, where is this, the battlefield" Hamm lay dead on the ground, every now and then a bullet passing through the bushes, she clearly didn't want to sit up and test her luck with her own life.
"If you can, we," said Susan, and the two of them saw a man appear outside the bushes, and he appeared in a jumping position, noticing two women in the bushes as he was in the air.
"Believers in Tongue Birds!" Hamm shouted!
Susan pulled out the dagger at her waist, facing the bayonet, she didn't want to sit still.
Then the man's head exploded, as if he had been hit by a bullet, and he lost his balance and fell to the ground, the musket in his hand coming out of his hand.
Susan grabbed the musket and tossed it to Hamm, pulling the revolver herself from Chaos' waist.
The two women found supplies from the ammo pouch on Chaos' waist, and Ham pulled the bolt of the gun and checked the bullets inside: "It's a military rifle, but this Chaos is not a soldier, did they attack the arsenal"
"Who knows." As soon as they finished speaking, Susan and Hamm saw a man in the usual clothes of the citizen jump into the bushes, and he saw two women: "You" and he fell, and the gentleman of the citizen, who had received a bullet in his head, was obviously unable to continue talking.
Susan was silent for a moment, tossing the revolver and bullet pouch to Hamm, who then took the short-barreled shotgun from the citizen's hand and removed the bullet pouch from his belt.
"What's going on!" Hamm looked around, and finally she pointed the gun in her hand in the direction where Chaos had just appeared.
Susan did the same - the citizens and the chaos walked in opposite directions, that is, on one side were normal people like armed citizens, and on the other side were the believers of the Tongue Bird.
Then the two girls noticed a problem - the manhole cover that was crushed by the corpse began to move.
"Oh my God......" Hamm said with despair.
"Climb fast!" Susan turned and began to crawl to the side of the citizen.
Under the horrified gaze of the two girls, the manhole cover was lifted, and the corpse crawled out of the repair shaft with its hands and feet, and it stood up, and then was set on fire in an instant, like a sack, but it still did not fall.
There was a rare silence on the battlefield, and Susan shouted loudly at this time: "That's a monster! Moving corpses! β
With her scream, the corpse turned and ran in the direction of Chaos.
Susan and Hamm looked at each other, then climbed as fast as they could, crawling through the bushes and beckoning to the townsfolk and guards behind the bunker, and Susan knew she would survive.
"Climb fast!" The little creature poked his head out and shouted, pointing behind Susan.
Susan and Hamm turned their heads and saw half of the corpse crawling out of the bushes, and then the corpse that could run.
Crawling to their feet, Susan and Hamm sped to cover.
It wasn't until she jumped over the low wall that Susan had time to turn her head and look again, and found that the running corpse had fallen to the ground, and the head of the crawling corpse was gone, and it had stopped moving.
"Hit them on the head! If you don't have faith, hit them in the lower limbs! After the boy finished speaking, he reached out and lifted Susan and Hamm up, he glanced at their robes, and drew a musket from his waist: "You are followers of the Lord of Wisdom"
"Don't shoot! I'm a sleeper agent of the Church of War! Hamm dropped the gun and raised his hand: "The archbishop of the God of War Church can prove my identity!" β
"Well, you can live a little longer, you." The kid pointed his gun at Susan.
Susan shook her head: "I, I don't remember anything. She finished speaking, clutching the wound on the back of her headβout of death, she felt pain.
"I testify that the Presiding Bishop gave her one thing! If she hadn't lost it, it would have been on her. Hamm said, pointing at Susan.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Marin was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then he nodded: "You come to search her." β
So the girl quickly found an envelope from the northern woman's body.
Marin took two steps back, then asked the others to step back, and then ordered the girl to open the envelope, from which she took out a small notebook, a piece of stationery.
Marin thought for a moment and stretched out his hand: "Give them to me." β
The girl very obediently handed over the letter and the small notebook.
Marin opened the small notebook, which was the identification of Sidney's Joint Military Intelligence Headquarters.
It is hereby proven that Jonny Yanko is a member of the Sidney Joint Military Intelligence Headquarters, and the witness: Kerns One-Eyed Macrim.
The small book is very old, the cover and the paper inside are damaged, and the portraits on it are even blurred.
Marin stretched out his hand and beckoned, a halfling man walked over, he was an intelligence officer sent by the Sidney Joint Military Intelligence Headquarters, responsible for screening their personnel, Marin handed over the small notebook in his hand: "Look at it, this thing is not yours." β
The halfling looked back and forth, then turned inside and looked: "I can confirm that it's true, but I don't know who the person inside is, I don't know who Kerns one-eyed Marklim is, I don't know who it is, I need to inform my superiors." β
"Okay, I'll leave it to you." Marin said, opening the letter.
Sidney Joint Intelligence Headquarters, Sleeper Jonny Janko, testifies that Susan, a northern woman in possession of this letterhead, is an undercover member of the Church of Justice.
Marin gasped, he handed the letter to the paladin, who looked at it, and then frowned: "I can't confirm the authenticity, but if she is really our person, then there will be proof, and I need to prove her identity to the bishop." With that, he handed the letter back to Marin.
Marlin ignited a flame with the tips of his fingers, setting the letter on fire.
"Here's a team to escort them and Mr. Halfling from Sidney's Joint Military Intelligence Headquarters, if they're one of our people, there's a good chance they're one of the heroes who broke the ritual." After Marin finished speaking, he turned to look at the corpses that were still moving: "Now, let's get rid of these things." β
"It looks like Nurgle's technique, how many tissues are in the Lord of Wisdom?" The paladin had already killed a corpse that had rushed into the defense line by this time, and the holy weapon in his hand was extremely effective against this monster.
"I hope there aren't too many of these monsters right now." Marin had shot a corpse with a shotgun, and if it had been a normal person, the four single-headed shotguns that pierced through his chest would have killed him long ago.
And the corpse was still moving forward until Marin broke his head.
If it were not a sacred weapon, it would have to crush their heads, that is, destroy their brains...... Is this proof that they are still alive.
Marin asked the paladin about this, and the middle-aged man nodded, then shook his head.
"They can indeed be said to be alive, because their bodies are still hot, but they are dead, because their shells are more like a cage that haunts their souls at this very moment." The paladin's analysis made Marlin nod - yes, the cage, they were dead, but their souls were locked in their corpses by Chaos.
Poor fellows.
