Chapter 16: Shock
Quiet, eerie, these yellow mist not only did not have the rotten taste that Rorschach had imagined, but carried some ...... Sweet?
"Shhhh
The sudden sound was not from the snake, but from the woman's knife that cut through the air.
She suddenly kicked her feet and slashed at the twisted snakes in front of her.
Those writhing bodies with their bellies turned white gave Rorschach goosebumps, he wasn't afraid of snakes, but that didn't stop him from looking disgusting.
"Whew-"
The sword light brought up a large piece of broken snake flesh, and blood was scattered on the ground in an instant.
Rorschach hid behind her, watched, and swallowed.
He didn't see what otherworldly weird abilities this woman was using, in other words...... She was able to do everything she was doing now because of the knife skills she had practiced!
What a great person......
But soon, Rorschach sensed something was wrong, and her movements slowed down.
Are you tired?
Rorschach watched her battle carefully, he couldn't see it himself, although his pupils were still black at the moment, but when he stared, the clear black became like an invisible abyss.
No...... She's not tired.
It's the knife that's getting heavier!
"Hey! Their blood is wrapped around your knife! β
Rorschach's warning came in time, and she reacted immediately, it was unrealistic to want to kill a bloody path directly.
After striking a semicircle with a knife, she immediately flew back and returned to the carriage.
"How's that, is there a way?" Rorschach looked at her expectantly.
She didn't speak, and Rorschach was a little disappointed, so she said, "Then try my way." β
She turned her head in confusion, looking into Rorschach's eyes for the first time.
The ice-blue eyes made Rorschach's heart beat with an unfamiliar force, and he gestured with his thumb to the side.
"Look, it's alive, and it's ...... There was not a single snake on his body. β
She followed Rorschach's finger and immediately understood what he meant.
Horse!
The coachman died tragically, but the horse was unscathed?
While Cornelia was still thinking, Rorschach had already rolled over and rode on, and at the same time said, "Could you please untie the frame?" β
"Clickβ"
A flash of knife flashed, and the frame fell from behind the horse's butt.
Rorschach was still lamenting her superb sword skills, but she saw that she had already jumped on the horse, rode behind Rorschach, and then naturally picked up the reins.
"Smack-"
The reins were thrown over the horse, and the horse immediately ran forward.
Rorschach stiffened, he could never have imagined that she would sit in the back, let alone that the man who was wrapped around the horse would be him......
β¦β¦
"Let's go!"
Jason's current appearance was terrifying, and the soldiers of the Defense Department looked at him with fearful expressions.
"Come over here!" Elsa shouted.
The soldiers swarmed up and retreated in Elsa's direction.
Jason fought and retreated, his pupils twinkling with fear.
He thought he was a monster, but what he didn't expect was ...... The real monsters are those in the depths of these fogs!
"Brother, come here!"
Elsa shouted in a trembling voice.
"Hmmm......"
Jason repelled a terrifying monster that pounced on him with a single punch and hurried back towards Elsa's place.
As soon as Jason arrived, Elsa closed the door.
"Bang bangβ"
A violent crash sounded outside the door, and the metal door not only trembled, but also deformed......
"These ...... What kind of monster is it? Jason sat on the ground, gasping for air.
The blood-red color on his body had disappeared, and white water vapor was coming out of his body.
"I don't know......," the leader of the remaining Defense Division soldiers leaned against the wall, clutching his shoulder, "They suddenly burst out of the mist, their movements were agile, their strength was huge, they were furious, they were terrifying, and my left hand was gnawed off by one of them." β
Jason glanced at Elsa and got up to look at everyone in the lumberyard warehouse.
Most of them are still young people, and they don't have families.
"We're dead...... Duran is finished, the kingdom of Lil is finished, and the entire southern border is ...... No, the whole world is finished! "They're monsters, they don't die if they hit the head with a flintlock pistol, they eat us all, they all ......"
"Shut up!" The squad leader, who had lost one of his arms, kicked him over, "I'll throw you out if I talk again!" β
"Sooner or later, I'm going to die...... The warehouse door won't keep them in the way for long, and we're ...... Soon it will be their food......" The voice of despair spread like a devouring viper in everyone's heart.
At this moment, an ordinary soldier suddenly came out of a dark corner.
He took the flintlock pistol and pointed it at the man who had been saying dejected words.
"Limu, what are you going to do?"
"Bang-"
The gun went off.
Without hesitation, the bullet pierced the soldier's heart, blood splattering all over the ground.
There was a sudden silence in the warehouse.
Jason and Elsa looked warily at the soldier named Limu.
"You're crazy?!"
The squad leader, whose face turned pale with pain, walked up to him and tried to snatch his flintlock pistol.
"Captain......" Limu's voice was hoarse and deep, and he raised his head, revealing a young face, "His presence will only hasten our deaths. β
"Bastard!" The squad leader glared at him angrily, "He's a comrade-in-arms, do you understand, comrade-in-arms!" β
"He's not." Lim looked up at the squad leader.
"He didn't fire a shot when the monster appeared, he didn't fight at all, he kept running away," Limu's hoarse voice echoed through the warehouse, "If you don't believe me, you can check his ammo usage." β
"......"
"Captain," Lim looked at the disabled soldier calmly, "he's dead, and I can lead everyone out alive, are you going to kill me?" β
The team leader suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
Liam...... Liam?
Obviously he is a recruit just recruited by the Ministry of Defense, if this person is allowed to grow up......
The team leader looked at the people around him, and everyone's faces were almost desperate, and there was no longer the flying and vigorous spirit of a young man in his twenties.
Except for the two members of the Special Defense Department who suddenly appeared, and the new recruit named Limu in front of him.
"What if...... You can really bring everyone out of the fog alive, and I will treat this incident as if it never happened. β
He let out a cloudy breath and finally compromised.
Lim was right, the soldier was dead.
Dead person...... It's worthless.
β¦β¦
"Female ...... Heroine? Rorschach exclaimed tentatively, "Did you hear anything?" β
After being taken out of the snake siege by this woman in a position that embarrassed him to death, Rorschach was much more honest.
However, to Rorschach's surprise, the woman shook her head and spat out a word: "No." β
That...... Could it be that I'm hallucinating?
Rorschach frowned slightly and closed his eyes.
In the depths of the yellow mist, there are some ...... The roars of strange creatures that I had never heard before, but these roars were ten thousand times more terrifying than ordinary beasts......
Will it be...... What is it?
