Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Overture

After a series of tosses and continuous rushes, a group of people were tired, hungry and tired. [Book * Ha. Ha^small^said. Hang Yi and the others are like the end of a strong crossbow, and their physical strength is difficult to support the use of superpowers again. At this time, if there is another 'wave' of wolves or zombies, it is estimated that they will really die here.

Fortunately, there were no further attacks on the rest of the journey. More than forty minutes later, the man leading the way pointed to a church in front of him and said something excitedly. Helen tells Hangyi that the town of Troitsk has arrived, and this church is the largest Orthodox church in the town.

The crowd was excited, and after walking for so long, they had long wanted to find a place to rest. It's past eleven o'clock in the evening.

However, when they got closer, they were stunned by what they saw.

Hundreds of walking corpses wander the streets of the town of Troitsk, loitering outside churches and other buildings. The town looks lifeless, as if it had become the town of death.

Xinna gasped and said in shock, "Oh my God, won't the whole town become walking corpses, right?" It's brutal! ”

"Hopefully there are still people alive." Lu Hua said.

"Yes, the church lights are on." Sun Yuchen said.

The group was now at the edge of the woods, several hundred meters away from the church. They have not yet been spotted by the walking corpses on the streets, but as soon as they appear, they will immediately become the target of public criticism. Mi Xiaolu asked, "How do we get there?" ”

Hang Yi asked his companion, "Do you still have the physical strength to use superpowers?" ”

Lu Hua said: "Even if it can be used, it can only exert 20% of its strength, and it won't last long." ”

Han Feng said: "It's only a few hundred meters from here to the church, let's rush over quickly, and the superpower only needs to hold on for a few minutes." ”

"There's a question - can you guarantee that if we rush to the 'door' of the church, the people inside will open the 'door'?" Ji Kairui considered it comprehensively, "If they don't open the 'door', we have nowhere to hide, and we will be in a very dangerous situation." ”

Hang Yi thought for a while and said to Lei Ao: "Lei Ao, if you don't use the Wind Blade, if you just fly, can you do it?" ”

Lei Ao said: "No problem, flying doesn't consume much physical strength. I don't have a problem flying for a minute or two. ”

Hang Yi said his plan: "You see if this is okay - Lei Ao flew over to attract the attention of the walking corpses and try to lure them away. Then we ran quickly to the church. If the people inside open the 'door', we go in, and if it doesn't, we look around for other buildings to hide. ”

This approach is actually quite risky and not a one-size-fits-all solution. But other than that, it doesn't seem like I could think of a better idea. Lei Ao said: "It's okay for me to lure them away, the key is you, pay attention to safety." ”

Hang Yi patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, we'll improvise." ”

Lei Ao nodded, walked out of the woods, and walked alone towards the opposite street. He deliberately walked in the opposite direction to the church and shouted, "Hey, y'all, do you want to have a supper?" ”

Sure enough, the walking corpses on the streets were attracted to him. ( The good-looking 79 Lei Ao went straight forward, and a walking corpse pounced on him, but instead of flying, he kicked the walking corpse over, and provoked: "Come on, stand up and bite me!") ”

Lu Hua watched this scene from a distance and exclaimed: "Is he crazy, why hasn't he flown yet, can't he plan to fight with this group of walking corpses?" ”

Everyone's hearts were clenched. I saw that Lei Ao knocked over two more walking corpses with his fists and flying feet, and then dozens or hundreds of walking corpses rushed towards him. At the critical moment, Lei Ao suddenly rose into the air, about two meters above the ground, and the hands of the walking corpses reached into the air, almost reaching the tips of his toes. Lei Ao deliberately hovered low at a low altitude and gradually moved in the opposite direction of the church, and the walking corpses were almost all drawn away by him.

"Let's go!" Hang saw the right time and let out a low sigh. A group of people bent over their waists and sneaked towards the church at night. They crept to the church's 'door' and didn't seem to notice them. Hang Yi knocked on the big 'door' of the church, and the man who led the way said in Russian: "Please, please let us in!" ”

But there was no response inside the church, and the 'door' did not open. Everyone was a little anxious, Hang Yi increased his knock on the 'door', and Hai Lin also shouted in Russian: "There are a lot of walking corpses outside, please, please open the 'door'!" ”

Perhaps because of the louder voices they had, some of the walking corpses who had been attracted by Lei Ao noticed this. They abandoned the "supper" that they couldn't reach in the air and walked towards a group of people.

"Hey...... Hey, they're coming! Lu Hua said in a panic, "My defensive wall can only protect me alone at most!" ”

Han Feng anxiously pounded on the 'door', regardless of whether the other party could understand it or not, and shouted in Chinese: "Hey, are you guys also a church?" To leave somebody in the lurch! ”

"Isn't there anyone in there?" Mi Xiaolu also panicked, "Let's look for other hiding places, they are getting closer and closer to us!" ”

As he spoke, the nearest walking corpses had approached. Ji Kairui stepped forward, and his right hand turned into a copper hammer with great destructive power, smashing the heads of the two walking corpses. Sun Yuchen also used his mind to attack the walking corpses, but he was no longer able to throw them down in the air, so he could only overturn or push them away, which was very difficult to deal with.

Hang Yi realized that he could no longer hope in the church, and that he had to move quickly before more walking corpses arrived, otherwise their superpowers would be equivalent to lambs to the slaughter once they ran out. However, he looked left and right, but could not find any other place to stay. The church was built on the edge of the town, and there are few other houses nearby.

Just when they were almost in a desperate situation, things took a turn for the worse. The 'door' of the church finally opened, and two Russian men stood guard next to the two 'doors', waving and shouting for them to come in quickly. A group of people were overjoyed and hurried into the church. Hang Yi shouted to Lei Ao not far away: "Lei Ao, come in!" ”

Lei Ao also saw the 'door' open, and he quickly flew towards the church. Several walking corpses also tried to enter the church with their teeth and claws. Sun Yuchen drummed up with all his strength, shouted, and used his mind to lift the walking corpses a few meters away. Taking advantage of this gap, everyone entered the church, and the two Russians quickly closed the 'door'.

Hang Yi and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and when they looked at it, this church was medium in size, about a few hundred square meters, and the space was very high. The various arrangements and decorations are typical of the Byzantine style. But at this time, they did not bother to look at the interior of the church, because a dozen people in the church were staring at them with frightened and suspicious eyes.

Hang Yi realized that these people had just witnessed Lei Ao flying in like a superman, as well as Sun Yuchen's "fighting cattle across the mountains", of course, they were extremely shocked. He said to Helen, "Explain it to them." ”

(*For ease of expression, the following Russian dialogues are in Chinese)

Helen nodded and said to them, "Don't worry, we're not bad people. We just want to seek refuge. ”

An old man in a black robe, with silver hair and beard, walked over. He appears to be the pastor of this church. Compared to the surprise and trepidation of the others, he seemed much more calm. The priest looked at Lei Ao and Sun Yuchen, then at Hai Lin, and said, "Can you explain?" ”

"Some of us have magical powers, but most of us are ordinary people. Like me. Helene said.

"With your abilities, it seems that you should not be afraid of those things out there." The pastor said.

"Normally, that's the case, but even if it's a superman, there are times when the physical strength is exhausted." "We were attacked by walking corpses on the road, and then we went all the way to the town of Troitsk, where we were attacked by zombies and wolves. Some lost their lives. We are hungry and cold now, and if you don't open the door, I'm afraid we will be torn to pieces by those walking corpses. ”

The priest glanced at the two Russian men who had just opened the 'door' and said, "They are worried that the visitors will not be good and that they will let the walking corpses in." Unlike you, we have no defense, and if the walking corpses rush in together, we will be dead. ”

Hailin nodded in understanding: "Thank you for finally opening the 'door'." ”

"God will not allow death to happen. I am ashamed of our hesitation. ”

The priest turned around and said to the people who had taken refuge in the church, "They are not in danger, and they may even be angels sent by God to help and deliver us." ”

People are willing to believe in priests - before Leo came down from heaven, and it was indeed like an angel descending. They 'showed' friendly and kind glances at this new group of friends.

From noon to now, Hang Yi and the others have not eaten anything, and they are already so hungry that their chests are pressed against their backs. Han Feng said to Hai Lin, "Can you ask them if there is any food that can fill our stomachs?" ”

After Helen 'communicated' with the pastor, the pastor nodded at the 'women' and 'women'. The women and women took out some rye bread, biscuits, and mutton pies, as well as bottles of purified water, and distributed them to the people. After everyone thanked them, they began to eat.

Han Feng only got a lamb 'meat' pie, and he ate it in three or two clicks, and asked embarrassedly, "May I ask...... Anything else? ”

Helen told him, "The pastor told me just now that this food is used by the church every week to help the wanderers and the poor, and the reserve is very limited. What was brought out to us just now was their last food and water. ”

"The last?" Han Feng sighed, "Okay, just pad your stomach a little." ”

After eating, Helen talked to the pastor and the rest of the church for a while. Then, she walked up to Hang Yi and the others and said to them: "It's terrible, the whole town of Troitsk has become a land of the dead almost overnight. Almost all of the people in the town, except for the survivors who took refuge in the church, were turned into walking corpses. ”

"When did this happen?" Hang Yi asked.

"It's tonight, to be precise, what happened when we were stuck on the road." "A lot of people in the town were staying at home. No one would have imagined that the zombies that came out of the cemetery would silently surround the entire town. It wasn't until the windows were smashed and the zombies broke into their homes and attacked the living that people found out that they were in hell and that disaster was coming. Many were bitten to death, and they later joined the ranks of the walking dead...... Only a dozen people escaped and took refuge in this church. ”

"What about the others? It's not all going to be dead, are they? Lu Hua asked.

"I don't know, but I'm certainly not optimistic." Helen sighed.

Everyone was silent for a moment, and Hang Yi said: "We drove to the town of Troitsk, and then we encountered a traffic jam - now it seems that the traffic jam was obviously planned by someone, in addition to letting the walking corpses attack us, another purpose is to use this time to turn this town into a 'town of death' before we walk to the town of Troitsk."

"In this way, there must be a superpowered person who has been secretly following us, and after learning of our destination, he launched this crazy sniping operation. This guy is a completely mad lunatic who will go to great lengths to turn the entire town into walking corpses in order to kill us! ”

Mi Xiaolu said: "If a person can control the corpse and fight the dead, then his superpower must be related to 'death'. ”

"I've thought about that before, but what good is it when we know our opponent's superpowers? This man hides in the shadows and doesn't 'confront' us head-on at all. Hang Yi said angrily.

Everyone was silent for a few minutes. "Actually, I'm thinking about another question. ”

The crowd looked at him, and Sina asked, "What is it?" ”

"Don't you think it's naΓ―ve for this attacker to just want to kill us through these walking corpses? ”

Sina looked at him puzzled. Ji Kairui explained, "The strength of our eight superpowers combined should not be underestimated by the Old Gods or any other attackers. But these walking corpses outside that only pounce and bite people don't pose much of a threat to us, no matter how you look at it. In fact, even the big 'doors' of a church can keep them out, isn't it naΓ―ve to expect these walking corpses to kill us all? ”

"But we were almost 'cornered' by them just now." Sina reminded.

"That's because we didn't eat, and we were on the road and fighting with our superpowers, so we got into trouble. But if we regain our strength and are in full condition, the walking corpses of a town are no match for us at all. ”

Hang Yi felt that Ji Kairui's analysis made sense, and asked, "Then what do you think the opponent is playing?" ”

Ji Kairui pondered for a moment and said: "I can't guess what he (she) thinks, but I have a gut feeling that everything that is happening so far is just a prelude, and the real killing is behind."
