27. Counterattack

There were no footsteps behind him, and the howling and fighting of the animals became farther and farther away, but none of the five of us had any intention of stopping, and just kept running along the shore of the lake.

The fog in front of me showed no sign of dissipating at all, the surrounding trees were becoming fewer and fewer, and the sound of water that had been with me all this time was gone. The physical strength of the bearded deputy sergeant and the other two policemen is really good, and they haven't been tired after running for so long, it seems that people can really burst out with unimaginable potential when life and death are at stake.

After a few more minutes of running, the fog finally began to fade, and a dilapidated wooden house appeared in front of us, the left half of which had collapsed, and the roof on the right side was missing a few pieces of wood. Along the way, we saw many barns and wooden houses, and although each house was very dilapidated, none of them were damaged to this extent.

Perhaps it was the sense of security in the house, and the mustache immediately leaned against the wall and gasped for air as soon as he ran to the door of the broken house, and the other two police officers staggered to the door of the hut and sat down on the porch.

I didn't feel tired yet, but my heart was beating very fast, and I had to sit down and rest to get my heart rate down, otherwise my heart would probably "shut down" due to overload!

"Do you know this house?" I came to the door of the hut, sat down with my back against the wall, and asked Mustache.

The mustache didn't seem to have the strength to answer my question, and just waved his hand at me.

"We ...... We haven't been here. Another officer gasped and replied, "Based on the direction we ran out earlier, we should be farther away from town." ”

"Can you call someone to drive us up?" Qiao Wei also came over and asked.

"Yes!" The officer, who still had the strength to speak, nodded at us, then took off the walkie-talkie from his jacket and began calling for help.

Soon there was a response on the intercom, and the officer probably said where we were.

After confirming that a car would come to pick us up soon, I could breathe a sigh of relief, and Qiao Wei's face also showed a slightly relaxed expression, and the brows that had been locked were also stretched.

While waiting for the police car to answer us, several of us kept looking in the direction we ran to, I think everyone should be like me, although everyone didn't say it, but they must have prayed in their hearts that those leather walkers would not chase after us.

Gamm's giant wolf seemed to be very powerful, and the group of skinwalkers didn't show up until the people who were answering us arrived.

To my surprise, it was not a police car but two trucks that came to pick us up, and the only people who drove were not policemen, but ordinary civilian drivers. The deputy police chief also explained that the police force in the town is insufficient, and in addition to the police in the management of public security, there are also neighborhood joint defense in the town, especially in today's situation, the police station generally has joint defense team members on duty, and it is the town's neighborhood joint defense team that comes to meet us.

We didn't go to the barn by the lake again, and went straight back to the police station in the town in the van.

The first thing we did when we arrived at the bureau was to go straight to the water dispenser and replenish the water lost today. Then the mustaches and the others all went to find silver things as weapons as we told before, while Qiao Wei and I tried to use the current time to rest, and waited for Qiao Wei's father to come over to support by the way.

At eight o'clock in the evening, a black truck drove to the door of the police station, Qiao Wei's parents all came, and there were three other exorcists, who brought a cart of silver swords and high-light ultraviolet searchlights, plus mustaches, and the silver tools they found were enough to arm a team of twenty or thirty people.

Mustache gathered all the fifteen members of the town's neighborhood defense team, and after all of them were exposed to ultraviolet searchlights to rule out the possibility that they were skin walkers, Deputy Sheriff Mustache explained the current situation in the town to the members, and showed them a picture of the skinless muscular man he had taken in the lakeside barn.

I really didn't pay attention to when the mustache took those pictures, maybe he had thought about stopping the townspeople from saving themselves from the moment he saw the muscular people hanging in the house.

These joint defense team members in the town are actually ordinary townspeople, their work is in the town, and they have the deepest feelings for the town, so they will volunteer to do this unpaid joint defense work. These joint defense team members have long been aware of the abnormal situation in the town, but no one can tell what is going on, and now that the deputy sheriff has finally come forward to explain the situation, these joint defense team members have no suspicion at all, and they all respond positively.

After doing a good job in mobilization, Qiao Wei's father also directly took over the post of commander-in-chief of the town's clean-up work tonight.

After assigning the silver weapons and searchlights, Qiao Wei's father also divided the police and the joint defense team into two groups, one group was led by him, and the other group was handed over to Sister Qiao to command, while Qiao Wei and I were arranged into a separate group with three other exorcists.

Qiao Wei's father and Sister Qiao's team were mainly responsible for cleaning up all the leather walkers in the town, while Qiao Wei's team and I were assigned the most important task - to kill Eden, the goddess of youth. After the task was assigned, the three of us immediately started to act.

Qiao Wei and I, along with the three exorcists who helped, went straight to the block where Sheriff Redfield's house was located, and with us the second group of joint defense team members led by Sister Qiao.

If there is one of the most dangerous places in the town, it is undoubtedly the death trap that Eden has set for the thirteenth main god, Loki.

During the day the street was deserted, and everyone hid in their houses like ghosts, but on cloudy days they all came out and attacked us, and when the clouds cleared and we returned, they were once again in their homes.

At first I thought they were buying time to resurrect Red who had been shot, but now I understand that the people hiding in the house were leather walkers wearing human skin coats made by Eden, and now they were in their time.

The whole block was pitch black, and there was not a single house with lights on, and a dozen of us drove straight into the block from the front and parked directly in front of Sheriff Red's house. Qiao Wei, as a pioneer, was the first to get out of the car, and then went straight to the door of Red's house, and I and the other three exorcists followed Qiao Wei closely.

The other members of the joint defense team, as well as Sister Qiao, did not join us, but stayed on the street in defensive formation, ready to meet the leather walkers who rushed out of the surrounding houses. Of course, Sister Qiao's side definitely doesn't need us to worry about it, I just need to concentrate on dealing with the enemy in front of me.

This time Qiao Wei did not knock politely on the door, and when he arrived at the door, he kicked the door open, my eyes kept staring at the door, although I couldn't see the situation behind the door, but I always felt that as long as the door was opened, something would suddenly rush out of it to attack us.

The actual situation was as I expected, and at the same time as Qiao Wei kicked the door open, two figures rushed towards us.

Our side had already made a decision, and directly turned on the ultraviolet searchlight to shine on the two people, and under the strong fluorescent light, the two people immediately let out a howl of pain, and then quickly retracted the momentum of the attack and turned to flee back.

This reaction had already explained the identity of their skin walkers, and Qiao Wei and the other three exorcists were also unrelenting, and directly threw out the silver flying knife and stabbed the two of them in the back, and the two black shadows fell to the ground in response.

We quickly chased after them to confirm that the two men had been completely crumbled by the attack of the silver weapon, and judging from the clothes left on the ground, one of them was Sheriff Red, and the other was supposed to be the sheriff's son.

"Don't scatter, be careful, Eden is not afraid of these lamps and daggers, pay attention to cover me to launch a fire array!" Qiao reminded loudly.
