Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Reaper
"What the hell is going on?" Zhang Chen's eyes widened as he stared at the spectacular scene of hundreds of corpses, and for a moment his chest became difficult to breathe as if he had pressed a boulder. www.biquge.info Where do these corpses belong? Are they all newcomers to the Scarlet Capital, how could they all die in this place at the same time? And who killed them? A series of questions, accompanied by the smell of blood, suddenly surged into Zhang Chen's mind. At this moment, he seemed to vaguely hear Zhao Boyuan's call, and couldn't help but look up, only to find that the kid didn't know when he had run to the weeds next to the corpse and was waving at him.
This couldn't help but remind Zhang Chen of the first time the two of them were in the elevator world on the forty-eighth floor, Zhao Boyuan couldn't tell whether he was obsessed or fanatical and held those glass containers with mutated zombies and browsed carefully, at that time he looked at him like a monster.
"This pervert, how did he manage to observe carefully in the face of the corpse stench emitted by so many corpses?" Zhang Chen muttered, and then reluctantly ran towards the overgrown clearing where Zhao Boyuan was.
The truth was as Zhang Chen expected, he hadn't run a few meters away from his steps, and a disgusting stench poured into his nose involuntarily. Although he hadn't been exposed to that smell, the smell of hundreds of corpses at a time like the one in front of him, mixed with the smell of rotting limbs, still made his stomach tumble.
Xinyan followed behind Zhang Chen, this little girl was very smart, she knew that the stench of the corpse's decay was extremely irritating to the body, so she tore off a piece of gauze she had just bought from the spirit ring in advance and blocked her mouth and nose to use as a mask, which could cover most of the irritating gases. On the other hand, Liu Weiqiang, who walked at the end of the line, was not so lucky, and his thick neck was crooked after walking a few steps, and he vomited in the open space on the edge of the pavilion.
When Zhao Boyuan saw Zhang Chen coming, he showed him the arrow in his hand. Zhang Chen took the arrow and found that it was no different from the arrows usually seen in TV costume dramas except for its long length, so he asked suspiciously: "You want to say that these people were all killed by bows and arrows, but they don't look like it, it seems that there are knife wounds!" ”
Zhao Boyuan sighed and said, "Yes, you haven't been here for a long time, and it's normal not to know the sign." But if I tell you that the hundred corpses you see were killed by the same two men...... he said, sitting on the ground like a wounded child, and the bright eyes of the former pair dimmed at this moment, and he called out a name feebly:
"Reaper. That's their name. Look at the tail of this arrow, you can faintly see a complex circular pattern, which is the symbol of the reaper. According to rumors, the Reapers, consisting of two people, one good at bows and the other good at swords, they are fierce by nature and have killed countless people, and if it weren't for the fact that they were two people who shared the crime of murder, there should be a place for them in the top ten of the current Red Notice! Damn, these two lunatics aren't going to make it to Area Four too! ”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the four of them suddenly became very ugly. Being able to kill a hundred newcomers casually, these two people must be more than one level stronger than them, and if they meet before waiting for the last moment to come, most of them will not escape the fate of being killed.
"What now? Need to change the target area? It seems that the situation is a little more unexpected. Xinyan looked at Zhao Boyuan, who was sitting on the ground without saying a word, and asked with a smile. Slowly, Zhang Chen found that Zhao Boyuan's head was raised, his fists were clenched and relaxed, staring at the corpses motionlessly.
"First of all, I don't know what's going on in Area Four that caused these two madmen who shouldn't have been here to come all the way to kill people. Compared to the number of blood vessels we have our eye, the rewards offered by Area Twenty are far greater than here. As it stands, it's clear that they're killing people on sight along the way, and they're heading toward the interior of Area 4, which shows that their purpose isn't just to kill. Secondly, we can't make a U-turn to Sector 14 or Sector 19, both of which require a long detour and require us to pass through this area. ”
Zhao Boyuan frowned as he explained. Suddenly, he stood up from the ground as if he had been struck by lightning, and his sudden movement startled Zhang Chen and Xinyan.
"I see!" He suddenly spoke, grabbing Zhang Chen's shoulder, "Remember the day you said that Rose told you about this offensive and defensive battle." This is the only thing that has a higher allure than reaching Area Twenty. ”
Zhang Chen suddenly realized when he said this, and said, "You mean, they came to Area 4 to find the portal that connects to the real world?" ”
"What other plausible explanation could there be?"
"But if that's the case, there's no point in us going to Area 4 again, there will definitely be masters from all continents in the Scarlet Capital, aren't we looking for death when we go?" Xinyan said with a frown.
"I'm afraid that's really the case, I think we should change our goal as soon as possible, and if we can't do it, we will retreat to Area Six, and from there it will be Area 11 if we go north, and in the past it would be Area 19. There's no way around it. Zhao Boyuan smiled bitterly. He really didn't expect that the originally well-planned goal would be disrupted by this magical portal, and it would fall short.
Hearing this, Zhang Chen held his chin and thought for a while. looked at Zhao Boyuan and Xin Yan, and said seriously: "Don't you think it's abrupt to conclude that there is a causal relationship between the two just by the name of a reaper and that ethereal space-time gate?" In any case, the question of whether or not the purpose of the two reapers, as a portal, is debatable. Or maybe it's just a simple act of revenge? ”
"You mean, we went into Sector Four as planned?" Zhao Boyuan looked at Zhang Chen in surprise, "We are not enough to stuff the teeth of those two murderers, I heard that they have already reached the category of E-level newcomers, and if they really meet us, they will definitely die!" ”
Zhao Boyuan's voice seemed a little anxious, when he saw the calm and reassuring expression on Zhang Chen's face, he knew that the other party couldn't think of any more effective way, and the familiar expression that was always not mixed with any emotions always reassured him.
"Along the way, how many situations have we experienced that seem to us to be mortal? Brother Boyuan, never underestimate miracles! We'll now go to Area Four. With that, he endured the stench that filled the sky and walked deeper into the overgrown plains.
