Chapter Seventy-Six: Expulsion
Goblins are small and cowardly creatures, but they were brought from other dimensions by demons after all, so they have many unknown abilities. After the outbreak of the Walking Dead Plague, some people unexpectedly discovered that the goblins were completely immune to the Walking Dead Plague, and they were bitten by the Walking Corpse, and they would not die of a high fever like other creatures, let alone become a walking corpse after death. The people then boldly untied the goblin slaves and used them against the growing number of walking corpses, but it soon became clear that doing so was simply a cocoon.
Although the goblins are immune to the plague, they are affected by the mysterious power that drives the mages mad, and it seems that the thin demonic blood in the goblins can echo with that mysterious power, as soon as the handcuffs of the demon are unshackled, the goblins will go berserk within a day or two, even if they are handcuffed again. The speed and strength of the mad goblins are greatly increased, and the destructive power is amazing, and they are more difficult to guard against than the mad mage.
In addition, some unscrupulous alchemists used a large number of goblins as raw materials to refine the antidote to the plague, which terrified the goblins who had not yet unshackled, and after more than a thousand years of being used as slaves by humans for cheap labor, they finally rebelled against their former masters and fled from the human cities en masse. At that time, the people of the Federation were so overwhelmed by the cataclysm that they had no intention of caring for the goblins who had defected, and had to leave them to fend for themselves in the wilderness.
The goblins in the Pentanif Mountain Farm, because they are relatively young and live in a relatively isolated environment, have no idea that humans use their kind to do real things, so they still maintain the "nature" of serving humans, and bear a lot of heavy work in the shelter, and the goblins do not compete with humans for food (due to immunity to the plague, goblins can feed on the defeated insects and walking corpses), so the people in the shelter have no problem living with goblins.
In addition, the more advanced red goblins among the goblins also have an important ability, in addition to having higher intelligence and larger body size than the low-level green goblins, they can also sense nearby patients infected with the plague, giving other survivors enough time to react and drive away patients who have been bitten by walking corpses to ensure the safety of the shelter. Just now, two red goblins sensed that one of the new guests was infected with the plague, and everyone in the shelter surrounded the cabin, clamoring for them to be kicked out.
Cassius boldly stepped up to negotiate with the crowd of refugees, but as soon as he spoke, he was rudely interrupted, who refused to give any explanation and were bent on driving them out of the shelter. This unreasonable move made Joyka and Dani immediately angry, and almost caused an armed clash between the two sides, but fortunately, Sergeevich, the top person in charge of the shelter, came in time to relieve the siege.
He was a man in his 40s, not tall, but he looked very stable, and Tsvetaeva and Vasily stood behind him, one on the left and one on the right. "I have heard about your heroic deeds, and I am grateful to you for saving Tsvetaeva and Vasily. But unfortunately, we are unable to admit infected patients. It's the rule. Sergeevich gave the order to evict the guest in a polite tone.
"Sir, you're the person in charge here, aren't you?" Sophia stepped forward and said respectfully, "I'm a priest who studies the magic of light, and one of our companions has indeed been bitten, but I've used magic to control the poison in his body, and I'm sure we'll find the antidote soon, and we won't bother for long, and we'll leave on our own after we've rested and recharged." ”
"Don't believe her!" shouted someone in the crowd, "leave you for the night, and all of us will be bitten tomorrow." ”
"Yes, you're not welcome here. Many people chimed in.
Lei, who was the person concerned, stepped forward expressionlessly. "I'm the one who was bitten by the walking corpse!" the audience fell silent, and the refugees looked at Lei in horror and retreated. Ray was speechless about his deterrent, but he continued to state his conditions: "That's right, I'm infected, so I'll leave." But my companions are clean and uninfected, and for their sake of having delivered you, allow them to rest here for the night. Just one night, is that okay?"
As soon as Lei's words came out, they immediately caused whispers from the refugees. But Cassius panicked: "Ray, how can I leave you alone outside?"
"Don't worry. Lei squeezed out a smile at his brother, "It's not my first time camping, and it's only one night anyway." ”
"Senior, let them stay overnight. Vasily interceded with Sergeevich, "In any case, the lives of me and Tsvetaeva were saved by them, and if they hadn't appeared in time, we wouldn't have been able to bring food back, and everyone would have starved to death." ”
"This ......," Sergeevich pondered, considering whether to accept Vasily's words.
"Absolutely not!" Tsvetaeva suddenly stepped forward and shouted angrily, "Who knows if there is a second patient among these people?
These words caused another shout from the crowd.
"You crazy woman again!" said Joika, furious, for the first time in his life to speak to a good-looking young woman, "haven't you been crazy enough in the city?
......Hearing that her two most important men were humiliated, Tsvetaeva really turned into a "crazy woman" and threw herself at Joyka like a mad dog, but fortunately Vasily stopped her from behind and hugged her.
"Idiot. Joyka scoffed at the woman who was not self-sufficient, he raised his head and swept Sergeevich with a rebellious look, "Hear me clearly, we don't want this place, let's leave now! ”
"What?" the crowd exploded again, and all sorts of curses rang out continuously.
"Is this still a good way to live?"
"Take everything away, so what are we going to eat?"
"yes, I've been out of food for days. ”
Cassius felt compassion and said to Joyka, "It's not easy for them to get to this point. Just leave the supplies, and we'll take away a few days' rations. ”
Joyka didn't speak, his silence was answered. In fact, Joyka didn't plan to take all the supplies with him, the reason why he said this just now was just to scare these revenge guys.
Sergeevich thought for a moment and promised: "Okay. Vasily, go and scoop up four days' rations for them. ”
However, before Vasily could answer, Tsvetaeva fluttered again and screamed like a ghost: "Don't go! Those things were bought by Ivan and Sidorov with their lives, and not a single gram of rations can be left for these guys!"
"It's not good. "After all, they have a lot of credit for the successful return of these supplies. ”
"Am I wrong?" Tsvetaeva's tone was not at all embarrassed, on the contrary, she felt that it was a matter of course, and roared in a sharper voice than before, "There is no cure for the plague of the walking dead, sooner or later they will all become walking corpses!
"Miss Tsvetaeva, don't go too far!" Sophia, who had always been good-natured, couldn't stand the woman's arrogance.
"Shut up, stinking bitch!" Tsvetaeva scolded back, tit-for-tat.
"Say it again!" Leonard was furious, strode towards Tsvetaeva, raised her right hand with a knight's glove, and slapped Tsvetaeva with one more word. Although it is against knighthood to beat an unarmed lady, since the other party has insulted the princess, it is a different matter.
"Knight Grimm. Sophia snorted, and Leonard had to retreat. Sophia knew that she couldn't mess with this woman, so she said directly to the top person in charge of the shelter: "Mr. Sergeevich, I won't make it difficult for you, leave all the supplies to you, we have the ability to find another batch in the city." ”
At this time, Sophia suddenly remembered that she had not discussed it with her friends before saying this. She turned her head and looked awkwardly at her companion behind her. Everyone gasped involuntarily. "You've already said that, what do we have to say? There is a fundamental difference between us and these idiots. Joyka spread her hands and unabashedly vented her disgust with the refugees, "This place stinks, I don't want to stay for a second, let's go." ”
Under the "supervision" of the refugees, the partners packed their bags, took the dog sled, and left the shelter together. Although Sergeevich had given the order to let him go, many people were still worried about the snow dogs, horses, and other supplies on the sleds that his companions had brought, and tried in vain to gain an inch. "You're all dying anyway! Why are you taking so much stuff?" Some people also put forward this ridiculous bandit theory. The companions had to be firmly guarded, as if he were a Ukrainian, and he rode a horse, armed with two guns, and looked around murderously, so that the other party had no chance.
After walking out of the gate of the shelter, Vasily was in charge of closing the door, and no one expected that Vasily's face was so full of indebtedness that he did not dare to look directly at any of them, but he still did not hesitate to close the door.
"Bastard, y'all stink inside!" Dany kicked against the wooden door.
"Save some effort to warm your stomach. Joyka advised her not to do such pointless things.
"I can't swallow this!" Dani said indignantly. She raised her foot and kicked the wooden door several times. What made her so angry was not only the complete failure of the plan to take a hot bath.
At the beginning, the companions came to Wellonk hungry, fought two vicious battles, walked for hours on the mountain roads, and finally ended up being driven to the wilderness, and now that it is dawn, everyone is still hungry, and Danny is not the only one who can't swallow this breath.
"Why don't you snatch things back?" asked Uzi, in his accustomed mind.
"This is not the plains of Slancia. Ukrainian, the male set will not work here. Cassius replied.
"What now?" asked Dani.
"What else can I do?" said Joyka, "just go back to the city and search again, as Sophia said." ”
Just as everyone was discussing, Ray suddenly scooped up his spear, didn't even want a sled, and walked quietly and quietly down the mountain.
