Chapter 74: Shadow, Piety
At the north gate of the Nancheng base, scattered survivors registered at the city gate, far less than the shoulder to shoulder in the first few days of the establishment of the Nancheng base.
This is also because the survivors who have the ability to rush to the Nancheng base have already arrived, and most of the survivors who did not come nearby have either failed to come over for various reasons, or have died on the way.
Occasionally, some teams of adventurers drove cars and weapons rented from the base to the wilderness, and went to the nearby abandoned towns to find supplies, so as to return to the base in exchange for food, weapons, etc.
These people will have a relatively large harvest in the first few days of the end of the world, and when all those foods have spoiled due to the loss of good preservation, and other materials have been scraped by the adventurer team several times, and the last screw cap is removed, the harvest will be less and less, and they can only gain by hunting zombies and mutant beasts.
A team of adventurers leaves the Southside base in three vans. This team of adventurers consisted of more than a dozen strong men, but there were no adepts among them, and even those with guns were very few, most of them were armed with a base-made standard machete.
In the van behind, the sturdy young man put the machete on his lap, crossed his palms and fingers, and put them together in front of his chest, his eyes closed, and his expression was extremely reverent. This is the prayer he now prays once in the morning, noon, and evening.
Ever since the sturdy young man decided to spread the brilliance of the two Sons of God to every inch of the earth, he has been working in this direction. This venture to find supplies was to begin to accumulate the initial funds needed for the mission.
Originally, with his guts, he didn't dare to venture into the wilderness at all, even if the benefits would be even more lucrative.
However, since the sturdy young man found his spiritual support, he gave all his all to the God in his heart. Thus, he overcame his cowardice and timidity, and replaced it with firmness and fearlessness.
When the adventurers on the side saw the sturdy young man like this, even though they were disdainful and mocking in their hearts, they didn't say it.
In this kind of eschatology, no one wants to try, and after blaspheming the faith of a devout believer, that believer will not be desperate for anything.
It didn't take long for this team of adventurers to leave the warning range of the South City base.
The tarmac road was fragmented by newly grown weeds and shrubs, and only asphalt blocks in the grass and street trees on both sides prove that it was once a road.
The original street trees are also growing unusually tall at this time, and the canopies of the trees on both sides are joined together, blocking most of the sunlight and making it seem as if the vehicle is passing through a green tunnel.
The people in the car did not want to enjoy this view, but clenched their weapons in their hands. In such a place, it is a vantage point for setting up ambushes, and it is necessary to be on guard.
If it weren't for the fact that this place was originally a road, even if it had been destroyed, it was smoother than in other places, and it was easier to discern the route, they would not have come here at all.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the shadow of the driver's backrest of the first van, and a hand poked out of the shadow like a ghost, and stabbed the dagger in his hand from the driver's back into the heart.
"Ahh
The driver screamed, lost his strength, and lay on the steering wheel, spitting blood out of his mouth, and gradually lost his breath.
The adventurer sitting in the co-pilot saw that the car was out of control, and instinctively wanted to hold the steering wheel, but when he turned his head, he saw that in the shadows, there was a humanoid black shadow staring at him, with a weird smile on his mouth, and he disappeared into the shadow again, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated.
"Bang ......"
The van lost control and crashed directly into the street tree next to it, and black smoke gradually rose from the engine, and it shuddered a few times before stalling.
"There are enemies!" The adventurer in the first car reacted and immediately got out of the car and shouted.
The two vans in the back also stopped, intending to ask what had happened, after all, there was not even a shadow of the enemy in sight.
However, the enemy in the shadows did not seem to want to give them time to prepare, and from time to time they emerged from the shadows and killed people before everyone could react, and the panic caused by the unknown continued to spread.
Compared to the other adventurers who were in a panic, the sturdy young man calmly analyzed all this, and in his heart, in addition to being abandoned by the gods of his faith and shaken by his own faith, even death was not enough to make him panic.
"The enemy is a stranger, and the ability should be able to blend into the shadow, everyone pays attention to the shadow under each other's feet, and runs to a place where there is light."
When the crowd is panicking, as long as there is a voice telling everyone a plan, even if that plan is wrong, it may be echoed by others, not to mention that this proposal has a certain amount of truth.
So everyone began to do as the able-bodied young man had told, and wanted to escape from the gap between the street trees to the sun outside.
It's a pity that they all ignore that even if they don't use their abilities, their physique is far stronger than that of ordinary people, except for those adventurers with guns in their hands, even if others find the ones in the shadows, they can't save their lives.
Even if several adventurers had guns in their hands, after the adept melted into the shadows, the bullets had no effect except for a crater on the ground, and the adequateness dragged them under the shadow of the tree.
"Forehead ......"
The sturdy young man groaned in pain, and he seemed to be being cared for by the supernatural because of his conspicuous performance, and he cut his hamstrings with a dagger and fell to the ground. The dagger seemed to have injured an artery, and the blood flowed uncontrollably.
After severing the hamstrings of the sturdy youth, the Avatar in the shadows did not kill him, but instead attacked the other adventurers, trying to make the sturdy young man bleed to death.
The other adventurers were so focused on running away that none of them even glanced at them, reminding their sturdy youth many times before.
The sturdy young man sat up with his hands on the ground, folded his hands in prayer, but did not bother with the bleeding wound on his foot, which would have caused him to bleed to death.
Because he knew that the Stranger would not let him go, and even if the bleeding was stopped, it would only delay the time of death.
The only regret is that he has not yet spread the brilliance of the Son of God to every corner of the world, not even a person who will inherit his will.
"My Lord, Thou art the source of light and darkness, the embodiment of hope and justice, Thou hast washed away the sins and iniquities of the world with calamity, and thou hast given thou hast given a little power to the world, thou art both light and darkness, one and ten thousand, thou art incarnate and walked in the world, purifying the filth with light, devouring evil with darkness......"
The sturdy young man's blood pooled under his feet, and the pain, sweating on his forehead, cold hands and feet, shortness of breath, and weakness could not shake his pious prayers.
In this process of gradually approaching death, the sturdy young people have no fear of death, and their belief in the Son of Light and Darkness is more pious, and every aspect of the Son of Light and Darkness, the purity, immaculateness, solemnity, sacredness, and profundity of their Divine Power of Light and Darkness also emerges more clearly in their minds.
The sturdy young man seemed to feel a carefree heaven beckoning him, and the closer he came to death, the closer he was to heaven.
At the same time, the heart core that had appeared in his mind since the awakening day, but had been silent, trembled slightly, as if it was about to wake up.
At this time, except for the sturdy young man, everyone else had been killed by the supernatural person, and the gap between the supernatural and ordinary people was not so easy to break.
Originally, this supernatural man planned to kill the sturdy young man directly, but seeing that he was still praying at this time, he wanted to see if the sturdy young man would expose the fear in his heart at the moment when he was closest to death.
This supernatural belongs to the Ye family, codenamed Shadow, and the reason why he ambushed this team that didn't even have supernatural abilities was to get rid of this sturdy young man.
The Ye family wanted to keep the situation of the golden blood as secret as possible, so naturally they wanted to kill the insiders, but Duan Yang and their strength were too strong, and they immediately left the Nancheng base, so those victims became the primary target.
If you want to kill some people in the base, even if you want to avoid arousing the suspicion of other forces, you have to go through the arrangement. It just so happened that at this time, the sturdy young man actually wanted to leave the Nancheng base temporarily, and the shadow who was in charge of this extermination mission came over in advance to ambush him, and first wiped out the sturdy young man, as for the others, it was completely harmful to the pond fish.
The shadow wandered among the shadows of the trees, and seeing that the young man was still praying sincerely, he did not waver in the slightest, and considered whether he should go over and add a few more openings to him, to see if he was really not afraid of death or pain.
