Verse 195: The Shadow of the Tree (2)

Originally, the lord's wedding, the city in front of Marin should still be in a welcoming atmosphere, but now there is no sound in the city, like a dead city.

This reminded Marlin of Fort Carter in his dreams, but at least there were mechanical voices, unlike here, where only the sound of each other's footsteps remained.

Silent Hill doesn't have an outer wall - unlike Fort Carter, Fort Carter was originally a pioneer and surrounded by either spirits or evil neighbors, and even in modern times, it needs walls to protect itself from the invasion of spirits in the wild.

Silent Hill is different, this is the Central Province, and any spirit in the wild that dares to challenge humans will be killed as quickly as possible, so much so that Marin heard that the spirits of the Central Province walk around people, and only those spirits that flow over will attack humans without fear of heaven and earth, and of course their fate is only death.

The walls of Silent Hill tightly wrap the three blocks of the temple area, the aristocratic district and the administrative and commercial district, and the few remaining townspeople do not have city walls.

Marin: All they had to do was pass through several residential areas to reach the temple area.

Passing through a few farmlands, Marin looked at the farmhouse on the side of the road, looking out the window and looking inside, he couldn't see anything, Marlin cut a thermal visual technique, and then saw one or two very vague figures in the farmhouse - insects are cold-blooded, even if their host is a hot-blooded creature, but when the transformation is completed, it no longer emits a lot of heat energy as before.

This should be a relatively safe test environment.

Marin stopped the two mentors and told them what he had discovered, and Mentor Merkel and Mentor Emmett Selk nodded in agreement with Marin's idea.

So Fio and Bloodroar stepped forward and knocked on the door with the back of their axes.

Surprisingly, Marin didn't notice any movement in those figures.

The two mentors who were hiding in the carriage also poked their heads out, and Tutor Merkel expressed his doubts: "They don't have hearing? ”

"I don't know, maybe break the door and see." Marin ordered his axe to attack the door, so he turned the axe, and Fio and Bloodroar attacked the door, as soon as the axe slashed open the door, the insects in the room screamed, and they rushed out of the door, turning their heads left and right in the sunlight, as if trying to find the murderer who broke the door, and they did not notice the axe in front of them.

Didn't notice Marin, who was standing not far away, either.

"Hey." Marin spoke, quietly, but definitely audible to the others, if they were still human.

This time, the wormmen turned their heads to look at Marlin, and then strode towards Marlin.

The largest of them was split in two as they passed by Fio and Bloodroar, and Marlin overturned the smallest insect with a crossbow nail in his hand, the armor-piercing bolt worked very well, and the head seemed to be a mortal threat to these insects.

The remaining two insect men leaped into the air, and were then netted into a ball by the twigs of the World Tree that had been turned into nets.

Fio ran over and happily slashed off the head of the wormman that had come out of his net.

By this time, Marin had basically understood the characteristics of these wormmen.

First of all, these insects basically have no vision, or no vision in the daytime and in places with high brightness, because Marin didn't notice him at all before he made a sound, even if he was standing less than thirty meters away from them, there was no cover between the two sides, and Marin didn't crouch or lie down.

Secondly, their positioning of the sound source is also a big and small weakness. They didn't react when the axe knocked on the door, and they didn't feel anything until the axe split the door, but they didn't react at all to the dead thing, even though Fio was jumping and jumping in front of them with a roar of blood.

Third, they attack in an extremely instinctive way.

Marin and the two mentors pried open the carapace of the insect man's chest and found the worm fetus, among which the mother of the victim was larger than her husband and children, and it was probably the first in the family to be infected.

This also proves that the young man is definitely out of his sanity, and when Marin trampled the worm under his feet, he heard the sound of sobbing again.

This time, there were more whispers in the cry.

But only for a moment.

"Next time, we'll break down the door and see how the Zerg will react when they see humans in the shadowy region." Marin looked at the two mentors and said.

"Wouldn't it be too dangerous?"

"It's okay, I can handle it."

Of course, Marlin was not talking big, in another farmhouse, Marin confirmed the three insect targets in the room, and the two mentors stood by the doors on both sides as cover, Marin kicked the door open, and then walked in with a crossbow in his hand holding a shield made of twigs of the World Tree.

The wormman roared and rushed towards Marin, the first bug died again from the armor-piercing crossbow arrow, the blood roar stopped the other worm at the waist and broke it, and then the outstretched feet restrained the worm's legs, and when it fell forward, Marlin's free hands grabbed the worm's neck and twisted it directly.

The worm with its neck twisted is not dead, but it loses control of its body and can only roar on the ground.

The worm man whose body was cut off by the blood roar did not die, but he no longer had the strength to make a move, and the organs that fell out were the cause of death, and Marin even saw the sac, as well as the worm fetus in it.

"They have vision in a dark environment." Mentor Merkel shook his head: "Looks like we're in trouble. ”

"We need to do another test." Marin said as he removed the bolt from the corpse and walked to the farmhouse next door.

The two mentors followed him for some reason.

This time, Marin pulled out a stun bomb and stopped knocking on the door, throwing it in front of the window.

There are no glass windows in the farmhouse, they are all made of lattice wooden windows and curtains, which bounce into the room with a loud noise.

Marin and the two mentors looked around, and found no uninvited bugs that came out of the door, so they opened the door with confidence, and looked at the bugs that fell to the ground. ”

"Affects the nerve centers of the human being through loud noises and flashes of light."

"Nerve center? What's that? Mentor Merkel was stunned for a moment.

This made Marin realize that the world did not know as much about the human body as he thought, and he could only put it another way: "You can think of it as a generic term for the organ that controls the human body." ”

"It's the soul that controls the body, Marin."

"I know, Lord Merkel, but the soul cannot make human beings move as naturally as the human body, and the nerve center is the soul that controls its own body...... Switch. For the first time, Marin was sad that he wasn't a medical student, because he really couldn't put it all in the most accurate words.

Fortunately, both of them understood the meaning of the word switch, so the two nodded, and Mentor Emmetselke asked, "You mean that the worm man's control of the human body is to control the switch on behalf of the human soul, and when your shock bomb affects the center, the worm fetus will die because of the loss of control of the switch." ”

"You can think so, and don't we have a basis for it." Marin gestured to the wormmen on the ground.

"Are they alive or dead now?" Mr. Merkel looked at Marin: "If they are still alive, what are we going to do to be able to save them." ”

"I don't think there's anything to be saved anymore, when they control the switch, the human soul is completely disconnected from their body, and when the worm dies, their soul can't continue to take over the body, because they're already distorted, and Master Merkel, both physically and theologically, they're already dead."

Marin looked at the old man in front of him, he knew that this old man was the old teacher of the Church of Love, and knew that he wanted to help all the innocent...... But these innocents are dead, they have become man-eating monsters, and everyone faces them as a dangerous encounter: "We must end this as quickly as possible, or we will all die when the sun goes down." ”

"Let's go, Mentor Merkel." Mentor Emmett Selke patted the old man on the shoulder.

"I know, Marin, and Mentor Kwasser, but the God of Love tells me to do everything possible to redeem innocent ......" Speaking of this, the old man sighed, "We must end this." ”

The three of them made their way along the dirt road, through the farmhouse and countryside, and when they began to enter the city, the solid stone road replaced the previous dirt, and there was no longer dust, but the noise of the town was gone, and Marin let his blood roar go ahead, and he walked on one side of the street, and the two mentors walked on the other side, so that even if he was attacked by something, it would not be possible to become a situation of catching them all.

There are insect people in the streets and alleys, but they tend to gather together, giving Marin a deep understanding of their habits, these insects are indeed photophobic, and they seem to be completely unsightly of their prey standing in the sun.

Far away, Marin saw the corner, and a large number of insects gathered in the shadows below the hollow layer, which made Marin have to stop, and he looked at the two mentors, who also stopped.

"If we go into the shadows, we will definitely be attacked." After speaking, Tutor Merkel walked to Marin's side: "The alley is also full of wormmen, we can't shoot, shooting will attract wormmen, do you have bayonets?" ”

"Coming to the military bayonet, my father and grandfather passed it down to me." Mentor Emmet Selke pulled out a bayonet from its scabbard.

"Sharpness, it's a good thing, 1772, your grandfather fought in the Great Patriotic War?"

"Well, a veteran of the Great Patriotic War, in the second half, fought with Chaos for thirteen years." Mentor Emmet Selke stuck another bayonet into the bayonet mount.

"My father died in the Battle of a Thousand Sons." The old man loaded the bayonet.

Marin coughed and stretched out his hand to make a request, and the two instructors followed his gesture to look down the alley, and found that a certain person had cut a bloody path with his walking axe.

"We're leaving." Marin walked into Xiao Hei after speaking.

There's time for you to chat, and the blood roar has already chopped all the way away.

Following the bloody path that the blood roar split all the way to the end, Marin found that his axe had stopped, so he also stopped, holding a crossbow in his hand, and poked out one eye to take a look: "There are no bugs, I see the city wall." "At the exit of the alley is a section of the city wall.

"There are a few bugs outside, it doesn't look like you killed them with an axe, maybe we should go out with a white flag."

"No, you don't." Marin removed Bloodroar from the handle of the axe that Fio had turned into, pulled out a white handkerchief and tied it to it, and let Fio walk out on top of it.

"I never thought that the World Tree Twigs could be used like this." Tutor Merkel said with a puzzled expression.

"Me too, with Marin, there are always surprises in life." Mentor Emmett Selke looked at the other side of the city wall with an embarrassed expression: "Who is it!" ”

Carterburg, the tiny twigs that Fio split out spelled together a big place name.

"Fort Carter, Central Province plays!" The voice was full of exclamations of disbelief: "Oh my God, how did you get through the alley, come out, and I told them not to point a gun at you." ”

So Marin poked his head out, and then the first one walked out, and the two mentors followed him.

The man on the wall leaned out half of his body: "A child, an old man, and you, Kwasel, how can you live so long in Fort Carter." ”

"If I don't outlive you, how can I die in peace." Mentor Amett Selke said very unhappily.

"You damn stinky brother!" The man on the wall cursed, and then lowered three hanging baskets from the wall, Marin jumped in, and the first was pulled up.

At the top, Marin jumped out of the hanging basket and saw all the big living people with dark circles, young guys, old men, and eleven or twelve-year-old things.

"I thought there were no more people alive in the city." Marin said to the loud voice, this seems to be another Emmett Selke mentor, but it seems that he doesn't have time to take care of his hair, and he doesn't have good hair oil and hair dye, so the bald man grinned after hearing Marin's words: "Marin, if you come a few days late, maybe there really won't be any living people." ”

"Hello, I'm Marin, Marin Gayat." Marin smiled and reached out and shook it with the old man's hand.

"I'm also from the Goddess of Harvest Church, but I'm a bishop, and my younger brother who is not angry is this kid with a white hair on his head, who really doesn't come early, doesn't come late, and comes to die at this time." The old man looked at his younger brother who had been lifted up and shook his head.

You shouldn't call it Rahabrea.

Marin spat out a groov, then reached out to help the two old men.

"Let's stop our quarrel first, brother, we have something to say."

"Of course, the matter between our two brothers will be put aside for now, and if you have anything to say, just say it." The old man said as several old men sitting next to him followed him.

Well, this is really the Sunset Red Bishops.
