Verse 496: The Sorrow of the Old Days (4)

Marin threw the dagger in his hand, spoughtling the farthest living corpse to the ground, knocking over a shelf behind it.

The sound of its swords hitting the shelves caused its companions to turn their attention to the other side, giving Marlin the opportunity to slap the Silence Enchantment down the hall with a silent gesture as fast as he could, intercepting its screams along with the sound of the shelves falling to the ground.

At this moment, there was no more sound from the sizzling flares, no more muffled sounds from the firing pin striking the primer when Marlin pulled the trigger of the pistol, and no more dull sound when the bullet burrowed into the skull of a living corpse.

And when the substitutes of the Lord of Justice joined in with assault rifles, the shells no longer reverberated when they landed on the ground, and their bullets pierced through the living corpses and hit the walls without sound, and the mouths of the living corpses opened wide after being shot, and even the fallen shelves and the corpses on the ground did not make any sound.

Everything happens in silence, continues in silence, and ends in silence.

Watching the last of the living corpses fall to the ground, Marin raised his left hand and pointed to the far end of the hall, where there was a half-hidden gate through which the three substitutes of the Harvest Goddess bypassed the fallen corpses and went to close the gate so that some monsters would not enter through this gate.

Originally, if they came in, it would be a feast for the living corpses, but now the situation is different.

The punishers of the Lord of Justice began to inflict the final blow on the living corpses with their pistols, and true death is the best gift that humans can give to the living.

Marin changed the magazine for his pistol, and when the big room was closed and the living corpses were named one by one, Marin scattered the Silent Enchantment.

"I thought our gunfire would attract a lot of living corpses." The commander of the halfling punisher said with a sigh of relief.

"These living corpses are contaminated by chaos, they are no longer the same as those living corpses to our south, they are stronger, more fearless, and more importantly, they are no longer life." The Substitute Punisher of the Church of Justice cut off the head of a living corpse, and he handed it to Marin.

Marin only glanced at it and confirmed that it was completely different from the living corpses that Marlin had seen when the train was heading south.

These living corpses are more like real moving corpses, with pale, stiff skin that resembles albinism.

"That's why my IR scan failed?" Jason sighed at the living corpses, "Look, Marlin, this is the best gift that Chaos has left us in this world, and these artifacts that we were prepared to use to transform uninhabitable areas into such horrible shapes. ”

"You guys?" The head of the Church of the God of Justice was silent for a while, and when he looked at Marin, there was already some fear and horror in his eyes.

"Don't be afraid, there are many secrets left before the Great Destruction, and you are only seeing the tip of the iceberg now, don't be afraid, because it is the poison of the heart." Marin looked at the person in charge in front of him and said.

The latter took two deep breaths and nodded vigorously, acknowledging Marin's statement.

The energy core was a metal structure with a circular shape, which was not present in this hall, and Marin saw the words on the wall - entrances and exits.

Then he glanced at the metal doors that had been lowered: "The door is closed, that gate is ajar, are there any footprints?" He looked at the closed door and asked the halfling.

"There aren't many, just a few footprints, and you can see that these monsters don't use this door much when they go out here." The halfling gave an answer, which reassured Marin a little - at least the living corpses don't usually use it when they go out.

"Is there an underground zone here, Jason?" Marin asked, putting the pistol away, and leaning against the door, pointing the muzzle of the gun at the only open passage.

"Yes, there are three tiers, I'm connecting to the old database, confirm...... Energy Core ...... In the innermost engineering materials area on the first floor. Jason said as he typed the floor plan on Marlin's retina.

"Good, at least not in the underground." The head of the Church of the Lord of Justice understood the significance of Marin's movements, and he followed Marin as he moved to the passage.

"Jason, prepare a pulse scan to see how many entrances and exits there are between the first floor and the basement level."

"No, count down to fifteen seconds, fifteen ......" Jason began to count down, and Marlin turned sideways and saw that the passage was empty—it couldn't be considered nothing, after all, the bones scattered on the ground didn't know which unlucky one belonged to.

The group of halflings approached the entrance of the passage against the inner wall at this time, and the glassed halfling poked his head out to look at the upper part of the passage, gave a thumbs up and stepped back, his companion pulled a flare, put it on the ground and rolled into the passage.

Not surprisingly, Marlin watched as the flare rolled into the hallway, lighting up the entire hallway.

"Looks like it's okay, there's only one way we go?" Jason asked, giving Marin an answer: "Four, two in the daily shopping area, one in the food area, and one in the far north of the engineering area." ”

"It's less than I thought." Marin asked the halflings to go back the way they came, telling the halflings on the second floor outside the window to take cover, and giving them the order to retreat - if they were found alive and there was only one way to die, he gave them the order to escape on their own.

Although Marin didn't know if the halflings would leave them behind, at least they couldn't be left dead and unable to save themselves.

Then he led the substitutes of the Church of Justice in front, and two halflings covered Lulu - this night watch girl was what Marin wanted to get rid of the most, but he didn't expect this dead to be unwilling to go, saying that the night watchman was afraid of death, and he also wanted to witness the end of the people he followed.

Since there is a way in heaven that you don't take, then Marin can only take this girl to hell and have no way in.

The bones in the hallway were examined, and they were very fresh victims, and they were supposed to be the same adventurers who entered the ruins as Jon, but unfortunately they were unlucky enough to venture into the lair of the living corpses, which eventually turned into a meal.

"Looks like those protective machines are finished." Jason noticed a mass of mechanical wreckage in the corner, and his exclamation made Marlin hand over the collected identification documents to the Righteous Lord's substitute for punishment, and then came to the wreckage: "The living corpses have broken them? ”

"No, it's the traces of laser weapon cautery, you see, in these places, there are holes after melting, and here, the laser weapon burned out the central drive system of its spine after destroying its shell, maybe the remnants of the second or third period, they have been here, and our friend with the canned herring should be the one from the last period of the third period...... After his death, the living corpses gradually took over the place. ”

"Laser weapons, I wish we could get one." To be honest, Marin had never seen anything like this, and it would be nice to see it in his eyes.

"As long as you can capture the most important factories, we can mass-produce laser weapons." Jason said.

"Let me guess if they're in Moscow." When it comes to factories, Marin thinks of drones and satellite factories in Moscow.

"No, they're in the Hangzhou Bay Area." Jason's voice was full of laughter.

"When I didn't say it." Rolling his eyes, Marin leaned against the wall and pointed his gun at the half-hidden door, where the head of the Just Church raised his gun alongside him, and the halfling pushed it open for them.

After Marin gestured to confirm that there was nothing in the front door, the halfling on the other side of the door leaned in halfway, glanced at the side of the companion who pushed the door, and then looked at the ceiling, then he walked into the door, and the halfling who pushed the door entered the door and glanced behind the door: "Security." ”

"Security room." Jason followed Marlin into the room, and he looked at the cabinets that had been pryed open: "Normally, there should be laser guns in these cabinets, but unfortunately, it looks like someone has already taken the lead." ”

"It's been a few years." Marin smiled and looked at the surveillance screens on the wall: "By the way, I'm curious, why do supermarket security guards equip laser weapons?" ”

In Marin's opinion, the supermarket security guard will have to deal with the work by ordering batons and steel fork pepper water.

"You see, this is the inherent thinking of East Asians, you don't really need laser guns there, but where you are now is the land of France." Jason said with emotion.

"I know, France Ferrat is unbearable." Marin said.

"You see, you are the inherent prejudice of other countries against the French in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, and you know that when the supermarkets here opened, it was when the French zero-dollar shopping wave was surging?" Jason said as he smirked, "I've added the knowledge of your time." ”

"Even zero-yuan purchases are here, you are really enough." Marin rolled his eyes and found a card on the table: "This is a security card?" ”

"Yes, but I'm not sure if this thing is still useful."

"Let's keep it first, according to probability, there must be somewhere in the world where the card reader is waiting for this card." Marin put the card away and exited the security room.

The substitutes of the Church of Justice were already standing in front of a fire door, which had failed, and many shelves and boxes had blocked the door, and I don't know when these barricades were responding.

As a rule, Marlin used the Silent Barrier to control the area, and the substitutes sorted out a passageway.

Marin was the first to pass, leaning against the wall, pointing his gun at the dark hall, which was supposed to be the daily necessities area, and followed the substitutes who came in, and they turned on the purple light hanging under the muzzle, illuminating the hall and the living corpses that were densely packed together.

It's like canned sardines...... No, it would be better to describe it as a stargazing pie that is PTSD when a person with a dense phobia sees it.

If it weren't for the fact that they had taken the tracking potion before the operation, the living corpses would have smelled them by now.

And now, through an iron fence, Marin led the team in silence, and through this priority passage, they entered the circular passage that surrounded the store.

I thought we were dead.

Lulu's psionic whispers rang in Marin's head.

Yes, if you scream at that time, we will really die.

Marin said as he walked up to a living corpse, stabbed the dagger through the back of his head, where the cervical vertebrae met his skull, and lowered the spiked corpse to the ground.

I'm not stupid.

The girl behind her said as she patted Marin on the shoulder.

Over there.

Marin turned around, and under her guidance, saw a small ghost.

That's a ...... Wandering Spirit.

The substitutes also saw the child.

In Marin's eyes, the little ghost sat with its legs crossed next to its bones, the clothes on which there were still fragments, and a small tablet beside the bones.

Marlin stopped Lulu from following him, and he approached the ghost, and when it looked up, Marlin nodded at its dark eye sockets.

Hello, kid, are you lost?

Talking to the ghost in a soul whisper had an effect, and instead of screaming, it nodded like a human.

Hello sir, is it safe outside now?

Is it safe out there now?

Looks...... It should be the dead of the Age of Great Destruction.

Since then, because of the proximity to the subspace, human beings have been able to gather souls?

With such doubts, Marin held out his hand.

Yes, it's safe, I'll take you out to find your mom and dad.

Thank you, sir.

The ghost also held out its hand, and the moment it shook hands with Marin, the bloody ghost in its eye sockets twisted, grinning and wanting to shriek, to laugh at the stupidity of its prey until it found itself burning.

The identities of the hunter and the prey were flipped and flipped again, and the resentful souls that became prey were ignited by the divine energy, and the pathetic souls who couldn't even hiss were finally turned to ashes in Marin's hands, because they were so completely purified that they couldn't leave even a little loot.

Marin brushed the dust off his hand, then picked up the small tablet, put it in his pocket, and turned to walk over to the substitutes.

Let's go, guys, we still have something to do.

How did you find out that child had a problem?

Lulu chased after her, and she walked up to Marin's side and asked in a very curious tone.

That's intuition.

Marin said this, not ready to speak out about his talent—in his eyes, the seemingly poor child was purple and black.

That's what you said to me last time.

Lulu frowned, obviously not deceived by Marin, but it seemed that she had discovered something, and finally didn't ask again.

Fortunately, he didn't ask again, otherwise Marin really wouldn't have thought of how to convince this person.

Do you want him to tell this girl that he can see the sins of a soul?

How can I say that?
