Chapter 68: The Plague and Insect Plague
Among the street restaurants of Ratam.
"You can always spot her, so why don't you just catch her?" I asked.
"You said it all, the only person in the world who can kill her is you. If you don't let you see her, what's the use of me catching her, not to mention, I may not be able to catch her. Zuo Yuan's eyes always looked at the long street outside the door, as if he was waiting for something.
"Then don't you think she's deliberately seducing you?"
"So what, if you see her, you can kill her, can't you?"
"You really trust me."
Continuing to eat, a long procession passed through the streets, all dressed as believers and armed with firearms, like an army. This is not the first time this has happened in Ratam. At least five such teams passed by on the way before.
"I've wanted to ask for a long time, what is that?" I asked Zuo Yuan.
"Believers."
"Of course I knew it was believers, but they had guns in their hands. Isn't it strange? ”
"Strange. The guy who was in Latam on the way just now gave me some news. Those who have guns are on their way to the covenant of darkness. ”
"The church?"
"That's right."
I don't understand: "Why? ”
"It seems that something has happened in Latam recently, and I am still waiting for news on the specific content. It will be passed on soon, but it probably has something to do with the Covenant of Darkness. ”
Therefore, this is the reason why Zuo Yuan is not in a hurry.
At this moment, the basket behind me shook, and at the same time, a procession passed through the street again, dressed as before, and armed with firearms. There are both men and women in the team.
I accidentally glanced at it, but found that there was a figure in the team that made me feel familiar.
"How could I ......" I stood up abruptly, intending to chase after me to see if I was dazzled or if I had actually seen an acquaintance.
Zuo Yuan put one hand on my abdomen and looked up at me: "What are you doing?" ”
"In that team, there are acquaintances of mine. I'm going to go over and see if it's him. ”
"You're not going to see Du Youlan, are you?" Zuo Yuan smiled.
"I would be happier if I saw it. But now I'm just surprised. ”
"Go ahead."
Zuo Yuan's reply surprised me, he didn't have any intention of stopping me, and directly agreed with me to chase the believers. But then again, our relationship at the moment is cooperation, and we all have interests in this matter, and I don't seem to have a reason to run away from Zuo Yuan. Of course, all this is premised on him really believing in me.
But I always felt that everything was not so simple.
Sure enough, I was just about to leave, but Zuo Yuan suddenly stopped me again.
He pointed to the cloth basket behind me: "Go chasing people, it's a little tiring to carry things, right?" She stays. ”
"Yes." I don't mind that.
Yao Qianwen immediately came to my side, "Then I'll come with you too, uncle!" Whoever you find, I'll help you! ”
But he was also rejected by Zuo Yuan: "No need, the people you know don't seem to have so many repetitions." ”
Yao Qianwen's escape plan has once again come to naught.
"When will you be back?" Before leaving, Zuo Yuan asked me.
"When are you leaving?"
"In one day."
"Then I'll be back in a day, waiting for me here."
"And what if you don't come back?" Zuo Yuan slowly came behind Yao Qianwen, and a pair of hands suddenly fell on her shoulders, this time she was caught off guard, Yao Qianwen trembled, "I still have a lot of that tank last night, and it should be very interesting to throw her in to play when the time comes." ”
"What...... What tank? "Although I didn't tell Yao Qianwen about the tragic situation of the flesh and blood skeleton, her expression at the moment probably has tens of thousands of more miserable guesses in her mind.
I stood in front of the restaurant, ignoring Yao Qianwen's eyes for help: "I don't know her that well, if you want to threaten me with her, I may not come back." However, your threat is also redundant, we are a cooperative relationship, and there is no need to escape. ”
"Hehe, just kidding, let's go."
That being said, it's no joke.
If I can't see Zuo Yuan in one day, Yao Qianwen will definitely become the next flesh and blood skeleton.
I have to come back.
Leaving the roadside restaurant, I could still see the tail of the previous line of believers, so I immediately chased after it. After crossing several streets, the speed of the procession began to increase, and then at an intersection, it split into two groups, a third of them, and took the other line.
I've been on the road before, and I've seen the map of Latam, and it doesn't seem to be the Dark Covenant Church that separates the whereabouts of that part of the believers.
And the person I'm concerned about is in that third.
Following their route, I discovered that it was a road leading to a nearby village. Although it is not the same route as the Dark Covenant Church, it is generally in the same direction, and the location of the village is also very close to the church. Along the way, I found many warning signs, which I did not understand in the official language of Latin America, but the patterns on these warning signs were all blurred pictures of flesh and blood, rotting human bodies, and thick sores, like patients tortured to the point of pain in the plague.
It seems to warn people not to go near the village in front of them.
Plague?
I continued to follow the group in front of me, but since I had already reached the country road, there was no one else on the road except me and the group of believers, so I could not follow it all the time, so I could only wait for the group to leave for a while and explore alone.
As the country road deepens, farmland gradually appears on both sides.
However......
"Why is this happening?" I was amazed at the yellowed plants on both sides, which is not what this season should be.
The heart of gold began to beat.
That strange intuition reappeared, as if a voice had told me to go down and find out.
I don't know what kind of crop it is, but it's very tall, tall enough to get lost in the depths. But at the moment, this distance is enough for me to find some problems.
It's a pit that bugs gnaw on.
Every crop around me has it. It seems that there has been a plague of insects here before.
"Crops die and wither yellow, if it is just a simple insect plague, it may be destroyed, but the plants that have not been bitten will all die. What kind of worm is that? "I thought back to the previous tracking, and now this position is off the route to the Dark Covenant, but only in the direction, and this farmland is very close to the Dark Covenant Church.
"Is it related?"
I crouched down and searched between the crops, and there was always some insect corpse left behind by a large insect infestation. I wonder what kind of worm that is. In the midst of the same ruined yellow weeds, I found a shriveled corpse. Holding it in his hand and looking closely, this thing looks like a locust, but the head is larger, the eyes are slender like inclined diamonds, the edges are stinging, and the palatine teeth are extremely long, and it looks hideous and terrifying, not like ordinary insects.
However, at this time, I pinched the index finger and thumb of my left hand, and suddenly became numb and painful!
I tried to let go, but I found that the surface of the insect corpse had sharp prickly hairs! It had pierced deep into my fingers, and the worm was stuck and could not be removed. The turbidity in the eyes of the pair of oblique diamond insects gradually dissipated, and the dry body of the insect began to plump, and the palatal teeth trembled and opened!
Spread your wings!
It, resurrected.
The resurrected monster worm made a strange sound from its buzzing wings, and I instinctively prepared to strangle it, but before that, it was smacked into the skin of my thumb by its huge palatal teeth!
