Chapter 44: Project Lyra

As soon as the cold snort of the Soul Lock Warden sounded, a black shadow fell from the sky, and this black shadow was a huge spider.

Suddenly, a burst of black light flashed from the spider's body, and I saw that the spider turned into a woman, a woman with an extremely hot body and an extremely bewitching appearance.

And the feet of this bewitching woman turned out to be the long legs of a spider, but they were even more slender and seductive.

Behind the bewitching woman, there is also the growth of this sharp spider leg, which brings out the woman's evil charm and mystery to the fullest.

This enchanting woman's name is Elise, known as the Spider Empress, and she, like the Warden of the Soul Lock, comes from the Shadow Isle, where the undead gather.

"Hammerstone, Karthhas asked me to warn you, the world is not as simple as it seems, and the humans here are not as weak as they seem."

"Moreover, there is no source of black fog in the Shadow Isle in this world, and if you suffer a fatal injury, no one can save you!" The Spider Empress said arrogantly to the Warden of the Soul Lock.

Hammerstone was accustomed to Elise's haughty attitude, and he waved the lantern in his hand as he said, "Karthus is too worried, this world is weak, and this is the perfect place for me to enjoy torture. ”

At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew, and a lich with the staff of destruction appeared in front of Hammerstone and Elise out of thin air.

Except for the creatures of the Shadow Isle, no one could have imagined that this ordinary-looking lich was none other than the one of the strongest people on the Shadow Isle, the Death Chanter - Karthas.

Suddenly, Karthas pointed the staff of annihilation in his hand at Hammerstone's face door, and said in a cold tone: "Hammerstone, I don't want to stop you from enjoying the torture, but until I complete the 'Lyra Project', you must temporarily put away your edge. ”

Facing Karthas's staff, Hammerstone finally had to give in slightly, and said: "Karthas, I can listen to your warning for the time being, but I can only tolerate it for a month at most, if I don't torture me with new playthings, I will completely become a madman." ”

"Hammerstone, you're already a madman!" Suddenly, Elise, the spider queen on the side, couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Hammerstone, it won't take that long, I will be able to get Lyra running in half a month, and then no one will be able to influence my plans!" Karthas, the Death Carn, replied to Hammerstone.

……

Looking at the situation on Ning Feng's side in a blink of an eye, after resting for more than half an hour, Ning Feng's face gradually became ruddy, and the whole person's mental outlook was much better.

As the team continued to advance, it also encountered a lot of soldiers and civilians along the way, who were all stragglers in the first two waves.

Of course, in addition to the people who fell behind along the way, there were also many people who were abandoned by the team.

Those who were abandoned by the team either had serious injuries that were difficult to treat, or they had zombie bite wounds on their bodies.

For these people, the third wave of evacuation team where Ning Feng was located also did not dare to accept anyone.

Anyone who wants to return to the evacuation team, whether military or civilian, old or weak, women and children, must go through strict checks.

Only those who pass the examination will be accepted for reintegration into the ranks, otherwise they will be expelled.

And once they can't return to the big army, then these people who are left behind will face the result of being trapped in the city until they are eaten by zombies and monsters, or become a member of the zombies.

There is no doubt that if you can't return to the big army, there is only a dead end.

Therefore, when some people fail to pass the examination, the fear of death in their hearts turns into endless rage.

"Fuck! You don't want Lao Tzu to live! Lao Tzu wants you to be buried with me! ”

At this moment, in the middle of the evacuation procession, a strong man suddenly rushed through the cordon formed by the soldiers from the side of the street, holding a stringed grenade in his hand, and rushed straight to a minibus in the team.

It turned out that the strong man was bitten by a zombie on his arm, so he couldn't pass the inspection of returning to the team, so he took revenge.

Therefore, this strong man suddenly had a seizure, ready to have a common end, and wanted to pull a few unlucky eggs to hell with him.

The people on the bus that the strong man ran to were all from an orphanage, and except for the director of the orphanage, Granny Chen, there were all young orphans on the bus.

Fortunately, the soldiers on both sides of the team were on guard enough, and when the strong man crossed the cordon, some soldiers opened fire on him.

After a few gunshots, several bloody holes appeared on the strong man's chest in an instant.

And the strong man's running body has also become weak and weak, and it is difficult to take a step forward.

Seeing that the strong man was about to fall to the ground, but just before death completely came, the strong man suddenly returned to his light and threw the grenade in his hand towards the minibus in the team.

"Grass!"

Seeing that the strong man had already been shot, and he could still throw the grenade out, everyone inside and outside the team couldn't help but shout.

In an instant, the vehicles and people around the minibus rushed to avoid the distance, but they collided with each other because of the panic, so that no one could escape.

Suddenly, the grenade landed next to the minibus, and the orphans on the minibus also screamed in fear.

Just as the tragedy was about to unfold, a young man suddenly appeared next to the minibus.

I saw the young man pick up the grenade on the ground and run out of the team without looking back.

But before he could run more than ten meters, the grenade exploded with a "boom", and even the young man was blown away.

As the youth and the grenade exploded together, the orphans on the minibus were only dizzy by the shock wave of the grenade, but none of them were in danger of life.

"Xiao Xu!"

At this time, Granny Chen, the director of the orphanage on the minibus, stared at the smoke from the grenade explosion, but couldn't help crying with tears streaming down her face.

If this Granny Chen is not mistaken, the person who sacrificed her life just now to pick up the grenade and stay away from the minibus was none other than Chen Xu, who walked out of her orphanage.

……

Chen Xu is an orphan who grew up in Granny Chen's orphanage since he was a child, and after entering adulthood, Chen Xu left the orphanage and went to live independently in society.

And Chen Xu is also a grateful person, every month he will go back to the orphanage, visit Granny Chen, who raised him, and donate some money to the orphanage.

Although this money is not much, it is Chen Xu's salary on weekdays, which he earns with sweat.

……

Since the end of the fight, Granny Chen has also experienced a lot of tragedies, but seeing a good child like Chen Xu die without even a whole corpse, how can she not cry bitterly?

"Mother-in-law, everyone is saved, why are you still crying?"

At this moment, an extremely familiar voice sounded in Granny Chen's ears.
