"Interesting, so someone has already been in the penguin before us?" An Kexin crossed his hands around his chest and walked back and forth on the boat: "In other words, it is possible that what Joeford has in his hands has been taken away by outsiders. It's good that we're one step slower. ”

"It's okay, miss. As long as we know what other ships are passing in the strait, we should be able to find those 'thieves' very quickly. Wick said.

An Kexin sighed and said, "In this case, I can only go to see him." ”

"Well, I can only go see him."

Dieppe.

Formerly an old town of the Western Alliance, it is now a ghost town.

The scene that once sailed thousands of miles on the harbor no longer exists. There are still many sailing ships moored in the harbor, but they are already in tatters, some have sunk to the bottom, and only their sails are sticking.

Others simply fell apart, with the wreckage floating on the surface of the water and being pushed by the waves on the pier in a heap.

What used to be a beautiful harbor is now more like a marine garbage dump.

On deck, Wellington spread his hands and said, "I've been here before, and it's not quite what I remember." ”

"It looks like the situation for humanity is not optimistic." Lin Ci frowned slightly, "I think it's more important to go ashore to collect supplies next." ”

Wellington shrugged and said, "Then do as we say." ”

Kate also immediately said: "I have to go ashore too, otherwise, I will faint to death." ”

Lin Ci had a rough idea, and then looked at Han Mengdie and the others and asked, "Who else wants to go ashore?" ”

Soon they were assigned manpower, and there were two groups of people ashore. One group is Wellington, Chen Hu and Lao Xia; The other group is Lin Ci, Han Mengdie and Kate. While the others stayed with the captain and waited for them to return, the Sally stopped outside the inner harbor, and Chen Hu and Wellington went to the cabin warehouse, and when they opened it, a fishy smell came to their faces. Wellington frowned and said, "It's time to breathe in here." ”

Chen Hu agreed.

The two took the dinghy out of the warehouse and put it on the surface. The people who went ashore went down to the rubber boat one after another, and Lin Ci and a few people rowed the oars, and the rubber boat began to swim towards the pier.

After they were gone, a dark shadow quickly emerged from the warehouse, and it crept underwater, then leaned against the bottom of the ship. The starfish variant that had come out of the Penguin with Lin Xi was stinging at the bottom of the ship, its body covered in bubbles, absorbing water, and its body gradually swelling.

At the other end of the harbor, on a small yacht, someone was lying on the deck and watching the Sally in the distance with binoculars.

At this time, a man came out of the cabin and said softly, "What's the situation?" ”

The man took off the binoculars, but it was a woman in her twenties.

"There was a yacht on the shore and it looked luxurious. Go tell Marty, oh yes. Some of them went ashore, but there were others on board. ”

The man nodded: "I understand, you continue to stare here, I'll go and go back." ”

Moments later, he disembarked from the boat to the docks, then ran across a street and disappeared into a dark alley.

It's also a harbour city, but Dieppe is nowhere near as big as Rotterdam. It's more like a seaside town, and from the pier is a street that surrounds the pier, and the street floor is paved with cobblestones.

"It wasn't like that before." Wellington pointed to a coffee shop across the street.

"Let's get down to business!"

Lin Xi turned around and walked to another way.

The city is eerily quiet, walking on the road, full of empty buildings. The sound of the wind blowing, whining, like a ghost crying.

Lin Ci and the three of them walked on the road, moving while on guard.

"You should find something along the road, look, there's a grocery store over there, maybe a map or something."

He pointed to a shop diagonally across the road.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound in the quiet street. It was like someone was tapping on something with a water pipe, and Lin Ci didn't care about it at first, but then, the sound gradually intensified.

If it's just one or two hits, it may be the result of something colliding with the wind. But it would be a little strange if it was as regular as it is now.

"Are there any survivors here, let's be careful." Han Mengdie reminded him.

Lin Ci frowned.

"What should we do?" Kate paused.

After being silent for a while, Lin Ci suddenly smiled, "Since you're here, how can you not go in and have a look?" ”

Dangdangdangdang -

A series of sharp banging sounds rang out in the building, and the sound could be heard far away, especially in such a quiet city nowadays, almost a block away. So in those corners of the city, in the shadows, some figures moved quickly, attracted by the sound.

"Please, Marty. Don't do that, don't put me down! ”

On the roof of a building, an iron cage was staggering down, a chain welded to the cage, and a winch on the other side of the chain.

Two men are pushing the winch to allow the cage to hang down the building. On the edge of the rooftop stood a burly man with a rare short silver-white hair, biting a cigarette, crouching on the edge to face the man in the iron cage.

"Don't be afraid, Xiao Jiu. I promise you didn't have anything at all. ”

In the iron cage was a girl, who looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a black T-shirt.

Moments later, the cage hit the ground and she was placed on the ground.

With high-rise buildings on three sides and a street park in front of it, it is conceivable that it was a good place for a leisurely stroll in the past. But now, it's a dangerous place.

After the percussion above stopped, the girl gasped more and more frequently, and she almost cowered into the corner of the iron cage, looking in horror in the direction of the street park.

A moment later, a dark figure emerged from the street, it was a skinless, pitch-black man, two eyes looked in the direction of the iron cage, and then quickly crawled over with his hands and feet.

Ripper!

Then new types popped up, a dozen or so in the blink of an eye, and finally a Brain Eater, these monsters rushed through the street park and ran towards the iron cage.

In the cage of metal tubes welded to the thickness of her arm, the girl finally couldn't help but scream. Outside the cage, a Ripper slammed into the cage and clawed at it, but only a spark was clawed.

The other rippers quickly surrounded the cage, screaming at the girl in the cage, not bothering to reach in and kill her. Instead, they kept clawing at the iron cage and catching out large sparks.

The girl was forced to crouch in the middle, looked at the monsters outside in horror, and kept screaming: "Help, save me, Marty." ”

At this moment, the ripper outside the iron cage separated. The Brain Eater came to the edge of the cage, its slender mouth digging into it, its small mouth hissing.

On the roof of the building, the strong middle-aged man stood up, stretched his waist, and said to the two men in the back, "It's time to perform." ”

Just as the man was about to jump off the building, suddenly a voice sounded in the direction of the street park: "Let go of that girl!" ”

The man was stunned, looked up, and saw three figures running into the park. Suddenly, there was a flower in his eyes, and there was only one left among the three.

It was a rather tall young man, and as if noticing his gaze, the man looked up.

Lin Ci raised his head and looked at the rooftop of the building in front of him, just in time to take a look at the white-haired man. Then I saw the man retreat, and in the blink of an eye he had disappeared from the rooftop.

Who is that?

On the other side, Kate and Han Mengdie have crashed into the new type. The two of them swam around the iron cage, and one monster after another kept falling. In the end, Han Mengdie half-squatted on the head of the brain eater, and when the monster was still unaware, Han Mengdie stabbed the black abyss vertically, and the long sword stabbed out of the monster's jaw. The Brain Eater shook, and his huge body fell to the ground.

Lin Ci came to the side of the iron cage, saw that the cage was locked, and glanced at Han Mengdie. The latter raised his hand with a sword, splitting the lock entirely. Kate opened the door of the cage and reached out to the girl inside, "Come out." ”

"Who are you?" The girl was a little frightened.

Then he looked up again, looked at the empty rooftop, and shouted, "Marty, Marty, are you there?" ”

But no one responded.

The girl's face immediately became gloomy, and she pushed Kate hard and said, "Damn, I messed up all my good deeds." Apparently they were just close to letting me join! ”

Lin Ci was confused and said, "Miss, if I'm not mistaken, we just saved you, didn't we?" ”

"Hell, who wants you to come to the rescue." The girl circled around Kate a few times, then stopped and said, "There is no mutation, so what you have in your hand is a killing blade?" Are you Taiyi? ”

"Stop, stop, I don't know what you're talking about." Kate raised her hand and said, "We've just arrived in Dieppe. ”

"Just arrived?" The girl frowned: "How did you guys get here?" ”

"No comment." Lin Ci said, it seems that this girl is not simple, and he said: "Since you don't have to help, then let's leave it alone." ”

"Wait." The girl suddenly stretched out her hand to stop her.

Lin Ci's face turned cold, and he said impatiently: "What do you want to do?" ”

"You ruined my plan, don't you have to make amends?"

"Compensation? How do you think we can compensate you? Lin Ci laughed angrily, he had heard that girls were unreasonable, but this was too arrogant in front of him.

The girl looked up at the sky, thought for a while, and said, "I haven't thought of it for a while, and I'll tell you when I think of it." ”

"So you're relying on us?"

The girl secretly glanced at Lin Ci and the three of them, and suddenly grinned: "It seems that you guys are coming to Dieppe for the first time, and I am quite familiar with this place." If you need something, I might be able to help you. ”

"Then why are you helping us?" Lin Xi was puzzled.

"Does that need to be said? I'm leaving this place, and besides, I can give out some information. ”

"For example?"

"The Divinson family."

Lin Ci's face was suddenly full of surprise: "Is there a so-called family in this city?" ”

"That Marty just now is DiVinson's right-hand man. Among them, DiVinson, Marty, and others are xenomorphs. ”

The girl held up a finger and said, "The Divinson family will capture the humans they meet, enslave them, but also protect them." ”

"You're not afraid of those monsters, do you have special abilities?" Lin Ci looked at the girl vigilantly.

"The Divinson family has a lot of resources, food. Only by relying on them can I live. ”

"Well, you can follow us. But first, we need fuel, do you know where there are gas stations? ”

She raised her little face, thought for a while, and said, "Don't think about the gas station in the city, even if there is, the underground oil storage tank has already been drained by Divinson." However, there was an oil storage plant outside the city, and Divinson probably didn't stretch his hand that long, so he didn't know if it was occupied by monsters. ”

Lin Ci nodded: "Take us to have a look." ”

"You're not afraid of monsters?"

Lin Qiying smiled, but did not say a word.

"Big Brother Divinson."

Someone pushed open the door of the church, which was long deserted, the tables and chairs were scattered, and only half of the statues remained. On the half of the statue, the man named Marty was sitting there, meditating.

Hearing the voice, he frowned a little displeased and said, "I said, don't come and disturb me while I'm meditating." ”

The man who had seen the Sally on the docks ran to DiVinson's side and whispered in his ear.

Divinson's eyes suddenly burst with a hint of essence, and he said with a chill: "Luxury yacht? Hey, it looks like we've hit a fat sheep this time. ”

"But big brother, I'm afraid it's not that simple. Ellie was watching them, and I saw it when I came over, and there were still people on board. So said the messenger.

"Someone stayed on board, that means someone went ashore?"

"yes, there were six of them, I can count them clearly."

Marty touched his chin, and then said, "When I was holding the joining ceremony for Xiao Jiu just now, I killed three guys halfway, and they should be the group on the boat." ”

"I know those three." A cowboy walked out.

"Oh, tell me about that yet." Divinson stood up.

"Those people are in the merchandise area near the central building."

Divinson still frowned, and after a moment, he smiled slyly.

Dieppe Commercial Street is the largest block in the city, and Wellington has been here once, so he brought Chen Hu and the others here directly.

They have searched six convenience stores, supermarkets and even restaurants.

"Looks like they've been looted." Wellington walked into the last store.

In front of him, there were only a few boxes left on the shelves, and there was hardly anything to eat. As for the freezer, the freezer has long since ceased to function and is equally empty.

"Let's go to the warehouse and have a look." Although Chen Hu said this, he could already predict the result.

However, he still walked with Lao Xia to the warehouse, and Wellington walked to the drink area.
