Chapter 125: Paradise
This time, Lin Ci and a few people saw her appearance clearly, but she was a beautiful girl in her early twenties. She also looks good when she is angry, her two eyebrows are raised, her apricot eyes are angry, and she is heroic.
She wore black half-gloves in both hands, and jerked out the weapon at her waist. At first glance, it looks like a dagger, but the shape of the knife is a little different from ordinary daggers, it has a peculiar shape, and there is a semi-circular part under the blade, which is the finger clamp.
The blade has a handguard compartment, and the upper blade is a straight false blade. The girl was placing her index finger on the tip of the hilt, a technique that could be used with both thrusts and cuts.
Lin Ci recognized the knife, this dagger called the Tiger Knife is the favorite of special forces, the knife is fierce and of excellent quality.
As it darkened, the Ripper climbed down from the trees around them, and there was even a Glutton. The strangely small-headed monster was the leader, and it fell to the ground, crouched and hissed with its long beak, and the rippers sprang up from the ground with their hands and feet.
Kate first rolled up the parts of the sniper rifle on the ground like a whirlwind, and the girl watched in amazement as the gun that had been disassembled into parts was quickly reassembled in mid-air, and finally Kate put the gun in her hand, and blinked her eyes before the lightning flashed out.
Before the girl could react, a ripped Ripper at the front suddenly flew upside down, and Kate's figure appeared in the clearing a second later, and he flipped his hands and pulled out a dagger-shaped blade.
The blades intertwined, slicing off the head of a monster that pounced on the left.
Lin Ci moved, and Han Mengdie, who was sitting on the ground and gnawing rabbit meat, had an extra long sword Heiyuan in his hand. The black abyss slashed, sending out a black light that beheaded the Ripper who lunged at her back.
Twilight stood up, two icy winds howling in her hands, and slammed her hands out in front of her, instantly blowing an ice wind that froze the two rippers running close to the ground into ice sculptures.
With a sniper rifle in hand, the heroic girl did not show weakness. Raise the gun, turn around, crouch, and shoot the monster straight for the head with one shot.
Then she rolled to the side, so that a lunging Ripper caught the air, and she was on the ground, holding the gun up, and shot the Ripper in the head at a very close distance, and immediately splattered blood everywhere.
The gluttonous eater finally couldn't stand it, but this cunning guy didn't pick on anyone else, but ran towards Lin Xi. It swooped in the air, and Lin Ci fell backwards, kicking on the stomach of the gluttonous eater, so that it rolled over and fell next to Lin Ci.
Lin Ci went to roll, locked the glutton's head with both hands, and twisted his waist suddenly, only to hear the sound of a broken bone sounding with a click, Lin Ci let go of it again, and the glutton's head shrugged down, but it was Lin Ci's neck that was twisted.
The fire was lit again.
Lin Xi handed the hot rabbit meat to the girl, and the girl devoured it. In the distance, Kate pulled the monster's corpse away, and Lin Ci glanced in that direction and smiled bitterly in his heart.
Now the blood devouring can't look at these things anymore, otherwise how could there be no movement. I had to show a strong desire to prey before, but now there is no movement at all.
After the girl had eaten the rabbit meat, Lin Ci briefly introduced nature, and then asked her, "What's your name?" ”
"My name is Alice. Who are you and why are you here? ”
"It's a long story, we're coming from Port Greene to Luxembourg, why are you left alone in this woods." Lin Ci handed her a kettle.
The girl was not polite, she picked it up and drank it, then wiped her mouth and said, "I have to take care of my brother, he is sick." I want to take him away when he's well. ”
"You still have a brother?" Kate was surprised: "Apart from you, are there any adults?" ”
Her face was a little gloomy, and she said after a long time: "When we just left, there were indeed a few adults around us. However, they either caught it or let the monster eat it. ”
"Catch it back? What's catching them, and where are they? Twilight was as careful as a hair, and she heard some clues.
Sasha stood up, pointed in the direction of Luxembourg and said, "I heard you say that you are going to Luxembourg before?" ”
Lin Ci nodded: "That's right, what's wrong?" ”
Sasha said seriously: "You'd better not go, take a detour to somewhere else." It's dangerous right now, and that's where we got out. ”
"Can you elaborate on that, girl?" Kate frowned, and asked seriously.
Sasha sat down, drew a circle on the ground with a branch, and drew some people in the circle, she looked up, and the light of the fire shone on her face, "Luxembourg is now called Paradise by them, and there are nearly a thousand people living there. ”
Lin Ci was surprised: "There is someone there?" ”
"That's right, but there's something else besides normal humans." Sasha spat out a word that Lin Xi was no stranger to them: "Xenomorph." ”
"Xenomorph!" Lin Ci shook his head and said, "Wait, you mean, Luxembourg is now a mix of aliens and humans?" ”
"It's not mixed, it's captive! Those monsters keep people in captivity like cattle and sheep! ”
In the following time, Lin Ci had already learned a little about Luxembourg from her.
To put it simply, Luxembourg is now occupied by xenomorphs, and those guys have turned the city into a pigsty and kept more than a thousand humans in captivity in the city.
Alice says that the xenos have no special requirements for the residents, and that they are almost free in the city, except that they are not allowed to leave the city.
They can even go on with their old lives without having to work, and the xenomorphs will provide them with food on a regular basis.
There are also entertainment facilities such as bars, night clubs, shopping malls and cinemas in the city, and it can be said that the life of the city's residents is a hundred times better than before.
For many people, they don't even think about their future, they just know how to have fun in time, and Luxembourg is truly a paradise.
From time to time, Xenomorph broadcasts programs on dedicated channels, mostly documentaries based on the world outside Luxembourg.
They use these programs to show people how dangerous the world outside the park is, and once they leave the city, they can't get their shelter, which makes more and more people willing to stay in the city and wait until one day suddenly disappear.
Originally, Alice and they had no chance to escape, but not long ago, a big man in Luxembourg suddenly left, and a lot of guards were dispatched.
This gave them a chance, and a dozen of them, including Alice, escaped. However, the Luxembourg side quickly launched a pursuit, and in the end, only she and her brother succeeded.
"Thank you for the food." Alice shook the bag of rabbit meat in her hand, which Lin Ci gave her. In return, she gave Lin Ci a route that would bypass Luxembourg and take the route to Rotterdam.
"Won't you come along?" Lin Ci looked at her suspiciously.
Alice hesitated: "That's a good suggestion, but my brother is very weak now, and I want him to recuperate for two days." ”
Since she said so, Lin Xi was not reluctant. Suddenly, Kate made a "huh" and pointed to a location in the woods: "Look, it looks like it's on fire." ”
Everyone looked up, and sure enough, in the night, there was a faint fire flickering on Kate's finger. Alice didn't have time to pick it up, so she picked up the gun and rushed out.
Lin Ci was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Let's go, let's go and have a look." ”
They made their way through the woods, and Alice ran fast.
After running for twenty minutes, they finally stopped. The place where it stopped was a clearing, where a simple wooden hut should have been built, but now the hut was on fire, and only a frame remained.
Twilight blew on the hut, and suddenly the cold wind breathed, and flakes of ice and snow fell from the wind, and the fire was immediately suppressed. After a while, it was extinguished, and Lin Ci took a branch to pick up the debris that was still carrying the embers, turned around and came back, "There is no one inside." ”
At this time, Han Mengdie came over and pulled Lin Xi's sleeve. Lin Ci saw that her expression was different, followed her over, saw obvious claw marks on a tree behind the house, and then found traces of dragging something on the ground. These traces stretched all the way forward, and in that direction it was Luxembourg.
Soon Alice also saw these traces, and her face suddenly turned pale: "Oh no, Xiaofeng may have been captured by them." ”
The girl immediately put the gun on her back and was about to run out with her feet raised, but she caught Kate: "Slow? Do you want to deal with those xenos on your own? ”
"Then what can I do!" Alice hugged her head and cried.
"Now the guards of Luxembourg are weaker than ever. Since the one named Miro is gone, there are far fewer guards than there used to be. ”
"Miro? You continue. Lin Ci said.
Alice nodded and said, "Aren't you going to Rotterdam?" If I'm right, you're going to go to sea from there. Even if you arrive in Rotterdam, do you know where to find a boat to go to sea? Do you know where you can get enough supplies to use at sea? Also, do you know how to sail? ”
A series of questions really knocked Lin Ci down.
Alice raised her head and said, "I know where to get a boat, I know where there is enough food to keep us from starving to death at sea, and I know how to sail!" ”
"How do you ......"
"Our family is engaged in maritime transportation, family business. I've been on cruise ships since I was six years old, and I know everything I need to survive at sea. So......" Alice held out her hand, "Let's make a deal and help me save Xiaofeng." I'm responsible for sending you back? ”
Lin Ci glanced at Kate and the others, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.
The biggest prerequisite he was willing to agree to was that there were no fourth-order monsters in Luxembourg. If it is only a xenomorph below the third order, it can be leveled with Han Mengdie's skills.
They headed for Luxembourg overnight.
Luxembourg, once an ancient city, has been turned into a demon cave where demons have taken root and humanity has turned a deaf ear.
At night, Luxembourg is lit up. The power station on the outskirts of the city by the river still provides an inexhaustible supply of electricity to the ancient city, and the streets are bustling with people.
The Grand Ducal Palace, which used to be open only to tourists at certain times, is now occupied by xenomorphs.
The palace is brightly lit, and in a study room with a rich seventeenth-century style, the windows are open, and you can see the shining lights of the city from here, and you can even faintly hear the sound of people coming from there. It wasn't until someone pulled the window shut that the study seemed quiet.
The window was closed by a man under thirty, very young, with blonde hair and a very crisp haircut.
"How is it, Mr. Erumman, honorable mayor, are you satisfied with your current life?" The man laughed.
The man known as Eruman wiped the sweat from his forehead and bowed slightly, "Mr. Singh." My life is a hundred times more comfortable now, no, a thousand times more comfortable than before! ”
The young man named Singh leaned forward slightly, took off his cigar and smiled, "In that case, why would anyone want to escape from Paradise, can you tell me the answer, dear Mr. Mayor." ”
Aruman suddenly fell to his knees with a thud, and said with a trembling body full of fat, "It's none of my business, Mr. Singh, I don't know what's going on in those idiots' minds!" ”
"Oh, is that really the case?"
"It's true!"
Singh sat back, took a cigar and asked, "Then tell me, Mr. Eluman." What should be done about those who try to escape the park? ”
"Don't they ......?"
"That's right, unfortunately, my trackers have sharp noses, and some of them have already been caught."
Singh rubbed his hands: "I care more about what you think than these guys." What are you going to do with these people? ”
Eruman kept wiping his sweat, gritted his teeth, and said, "They have violated the rules and must be put to death!" Mr. Singh, I propose that they be hanged and executed in public so that others can see what happens if they break the rules! ”
"Oh?" Singh's face suddenly gloomy: "Mr. Eluman, I didn't expect you to be so cruel and make such a suggestion to your own kind. Originally, I was going to lock them up for a while. ”
"This ......," Aruman suddenly tensed.
Singh suddenly smiled and said, "But your suggestion is very good, just do as you say." ”
A smile cracked across Aruman's face.
"However, since you made the suggestion, it's up to you to implement it!"
Suddenly, the smile on the mayor's face froze again.
"Why, you don't want to?" The young man leaned forward slightly.
"No, no, gladly, sir!" The mayor hurriedly said.
"I'll leave it to you." The young man walked up to the mayor and patted him on the shoulder: "You can stay here tonight, whatever kind of woman you want to spend the night with." ”
With that, the young man walked out of the study. When the door to the room closed, Eruman was truly relieved, and he sat down on the floor.
Singh walked down a staircase that led to the basement, but all palaces and castles of some age have places that resemble basements, and this Grand Duke's Palace is no exception.
