Chapter 53: Fakes

I was dumbfounded, and he couldn't figure out why a girl he had never met would make such accusations against him

How so, Sophia said softly, Ray is our good friend, and he has never harmed anyone

The little girl shook her head: it won't be in a few days

Ray asked: What do you mean, little sister, do you know something?

The girl didn't answer, but asked another question: Did you have been bitten by a walking corpse of insects?

The little girl who walked on the worm house said a new term that made Ray stunned, could you be talking about those weirdos out there with skin like fish scales and biting everywhere?

That's what the adults call them

By the way, little sister, your mom and dad, Dani broke up the topic

At the mention of her parents, the little girl was silent for a while, then tears flowed down in strings, and finally the little girl could no longer hold back and howled and cried

Sophia hurriedly hugged the little girl and gently comforted her affection, and after a period of comfort, the girl slowly calmed down, but apparently stimulated by extremely sad affection, her mental state was very bad, and she fell asleep next to Sophia

Although the little girl was asleep, she had just told her intermittently that the partners had roughly understood what had happened, and the little girl's name was Tina, and she and her mother, Tonya, brother, and father, a family of four, originally lived in the capital Silver Mountain, and the little Tina family lived a stable life. Although martial law has been imposed on the capital since April last year, the impact on the little Tina family, as an ordinary family, has been minimal, but the shape has taken a sharp turn at the end of July, and the little Tina family, like many families in the snowy Federation, has been broken and displaced

At that time, a mysterious plague suddenly broke out in the capital, spread rapidly, and then swept the country like a snowstorm, and no one knew where the plague came from, let alone who was the first to be infected;

But death is not the end, but the beginning of another nightmare, and the corpses of those who die of this strange disease will grow out of a black bug that no one has ever seen before, which will live in large numbers on the head of the deceased, feed on the brain, and after a few hours, the dead will be resurrected in full view of the eyes of the public, as a walking corpse, roaming the streets and alleys

They are bloodthirsty and extremely hungry, and once they are resurrected, they will frantically attack any living thing and devour their flesh and blood, and it is common for the attacked person to be dismembered, but what is even more terrifying is that as long as they are bitten by the walking corpse, whether it is a human or an animal, even a slight wound will immediately become infected, and after a few days, it will be another same tragic cycle...... The biting of the mouthparts is the main way for the plague to spread on a large scale, and in just two months, the once glorious Snowy Federation has become a country ruled by worms and walking corpses, and a very small number of uninfected survivors are struggling in the cracks, looking for any extremely faint hope of survival

In order to escape, Tiny Tina's family joins the journey east, and the ordinary family initially sets off from the capital with a huge group of survivors who have never felt safer than ever before, but the safest place is often full of dangers, and it is not known who secretly caught the infected patients in the queue for a few days, and the plague broke out in the middle of this otherwise clean team

A patient who had never been infected with the plague had never been cured, and even the best alchemists and doctors in the Federation could not find a cure, and any thought of luck was extremely dangerous, and the only way to prevent the living from becoming a worm walking corpse was to kill the person before he could completely die and then burn the corpse to ashes with a hot flame

However, if the infected person is their own relatives, can everyone be so ruthless, no, the vast majority of people will not be many people will secretly hide their infected relatives, even if they know that doing so will endanger the safety of others, but they are still willing to believe that there will be no miracle at all, and in the face of the disaster, the inferiority of human beings will be exposed

But feelings are not never given way to reason, there are exceptions to everything, when Tina's brother was sick, the father was bitten by his own son because he couldn't do it, and when the person who had to face this painful choice became his mother Tonya, in order to protect his daughter Tonya, he had to endure the cramping in his heart, and burned his son, who had become a worm, a walking corpse, and a husband who was still alive, to ashes

Because of this, Tonya and Tiny Tina survived and managed to reach the eastern border city in early November last year: the mother and daughter knew that they could reach the country that had not yet been infected by the plague by crossing the woods to the east, and although the reputation of the barbarians was not very good in the world of Olopa, it was better than staying in the Federation to be eaten alive by the walking corpse, or turning into another walking corpse, but the mother and daughter did not expect that another disaster awaited them in Porfishagrad

Tiny Tina didn't want to recount the day when her mother sacrificed herself and rushed to the street full of walking corpses with the old man who tried to hurt her daughter

Go back to the cellar and don't come out - mother's instructions, although little Tina is still young, but after so many terrible upheavals, she is already very sensible, with a kind of maturity that other peers do not have, even if her mother is not around, little Tina did not panic, she is very strong, in this small cellar, on the large amount of dry food and food in the box, she survived alone, because she did not know the situation outside, little Tina did not dare to run out casually, eat and drink, Lazar was all in the cellar, and for a long time the cellar produced an extremely unpleasant stench

It is hard to imagine that a 7-year-old girl could overcome loneliness and fear and spend nearly three months in this claustrophobic basement, and if it were not for the fierce battle between her companions and the worm corpses that caught her attention, she feared that little Tina would be buried in the cellar forever, and for three months she had been waiting for her mother to return, and although she knew that it could not be realized, if she lost this hope, she was afraid that little Tina would not survive a day

After listening to Tina's account, Ray looked at the bitten right hand and sat on the ground without saying a word

She must have had a hard time these days, and Sophia caressed Tiny Tina's dirty hair, feeling pity

How is our Snowy Federation ...... How could it be...... Ishinova could not accept the fact that she cried like a little girl who had been wronged

No, it won't be true, and Lyle is just as hard to accept

The two brothers and sisters who were born and raised in the Snowy Federation were devastated, and when they left the Federation a few months ago, although the Federation was already under martial law at that time, most of the people and things were quite intact, but who would have thought that when they came back again, it would have become a hell on earth, but from another point of view, they were actually very lucky, if it wasn't for Cassius and Ray taking them away, the disaster that happened to the rest of the Federation might have befallen the two brothers and sisters as well

I don't know what about the others, grandmother, grandfather, sealed mother, and Sister Elena who helped them leave......

Compared with the sadness of the two siblings, Cassius, who also grew up in the Snowy Federation and regarded it as his second home, seemed unusually calm, not because he was hard-hearted, but now that he was sinister, there was no time to waste on sadness, and Cassius's attention was attracted by an inconspicuous old cloth bag in the corner

Joyka came up behind him and patted him on the shoulder: what did the fat man find

Cassius stood up and handed the bag to Joica

What is this, Joyka saw that this heavy cloth bag was filled with dozens of spars, and how familiar these spars looked...... Joyka suddenly thought of something, surprised, how could there be so many

Joyka's surprise is not unreasonable, these spars are very similar in appearance to the Star Key carried by their partners, and they also found this place because of the resonance of the Star Key, if these spars are all Star Keys, then it is completely beyond their cognition, you must know that there are only 10 Star Keys in the world, Sophia, Joyka, and Cassius each have a Star Key inherited from their respective teachers, and in the space ring of Cassius, there are Eleana Soul Shadow, The three Star Keys that Spiruk Ironforge and Yundi gave them for temporary safekeeping, plus the one that Owen took away, means that there are already 7 Star Keys in the hands of their friends, so there should only be 3 Star Keys scattered elsewhere

Cassius didn't say a word, he took out his star key, and took out a zongzi spar from the cloth bag, looked at each other for a while, and then raised his head and said to Joyka: These things are not real star keys, they are just a bunch of fakes

fake

If I'm not mistaken, someone has made a lot of copies out of a real Star Key, but the imposters are always impostors, and these fakes only have a part of the power of the real Star Key, which is why our Star Key resonates, but the frequency of the resonance is chaotic and suddenly disappears, Cassius explained in a serious way

Hehe, it's getting more and more confusing, and Joey Ka Dao who would make such a bunch of fakes, and what is the purpose of doing this

Who knows, but since this pile of fakes was found in this cellar, maybe this little girl will know something.
