Chapter 21: Directions
The pouring rain enveloped the town in a curtain of water, and the huge sarcoma on the ground finally stopped growing, and fell silent as if sleeping, with only the occasional throbbing.
Dr. O'Connor fell headfirst into a puddle of water, round wafers tumbling onto the muddy ground. He looked up, and the rain almost blurred his vision, only to see huge figures surrounding him.
The adult blood corpse beast stared at the food on the ground with bloody eyes, although the ** in his heart became stronger and stronger, but these blood corpse beasts were like disciplined soldiers, but they just maintained a posture of encirclement but did not act rashly, and after a while, the two blood corpse beasts in the center bowed their heads respectfully, made way of a passage, and a slightly emaciated figure slowly walked in.
"Dr. O'Connor, thank you very much for your help to your master, these powerful blood corpse beasts are your greatest credit!" The emaciated figure crouched down, revealing a rather pale face, which was Kelly that Eren had been looking for.
"Ghost, I've said it many times, I'm definitely not going to help you." O'Connor fished out the lenses in the muddy water, shivered, wiped them with his sleeves, and put them away.
"It seems that you haven't figured out the situation yet, please take a look around, these strong blood corpse beasts are your masterpieces? Otherwise, how could my master have made such a bio-factory here? The ghost smiled grimly.
"I did it?" O'Connor struggled to remember, he suddenly raised his head, "Hmph, you want to lie to me, my body has no drug response at all, and you can't fool me with such a trick." Did I do it in my dreams? ”
The ghost smiled, he grabbed O'Connor from the ground, and then tore the clothes on O'Connor's chest with a single dip of his right hand: "Dr. O'Connor, please lower your head and see what this is?" ”
The ghost let go of his hand, and Dr. O'Connor staggered back a few steps, his head down, a look of horror on his face.
In the heart of his chest, there was a strange creature lying on his stomach. The creature was a pile of rotten flesh, fist-sized and covered in sarcoma, with seven thumb-thick tentacles poking out of the creature's body and stabbing into Dr. O'Connor's body, one of which went straight under his ribs, down his spine, and finally into the back of his head.
"You...... What have you done to me? Dr. O'Connor grabbed the strange creature and tried to tear it off, but as soon as he touched it, he felt a piercing pain spread throughout his body, and Dr. O'Connor screamed and fell to the ground, the sharp pain causing her to convulse.
"This parasitic beast is directly connected to your internal organs, and the longest tentacles burrow into your brain, if you force it, tsk...... Maybe you'll tear your heart and brain off, and you'll be delicious! ”
The ghost smiled and walked up to Dr. O'Connor, and toe the doctor up to lie down on his back: "The Demon Brain can achieve full influence on you through the mind control of the parasite. Keep your eyes peeled for the bio-factory you built. So, Doctor, please see the facts, you are already one of us. ”
"Why don't you control me completely, and you want me to wake up?" Dr. O'Connor said, fighting through the pain.
"My original intention, of course, is to directly destroy your will and make you a puppet of your master." The ghost pulled Dr. O'Connor up, then ripped the man's torn clothes to cover the parasite, "But the master believes that humanity's greatest treasure is imagination and creativity. Although you are a walking dead and you have inherited all the biological knowledge, the master wants more, and he needs you to work for the master willingly. ”
Dr. O'Connor looked down at the parasite, then at the bloodcorpse beast around him, and said bitterly, "Do I have any other choice?" ”
"Very wise!" The ghost shook the doctor's right hand vigorously.
"I have another question, this place has attracted the attention of the Knights, and more knights will come soon, how do you deal with it?" Dr. O'Connor asked.
The ghost snapped his fingers, and the middle-aged knight from before walked up quickly, and the ghost pointed at the other party with a smile: "This is the pretender created by the master with his own native blood, they are the same as humans, even the precision instruments of the knights cannot detect it." So here, the whole biofactory will be invisible. ”
The ghost looked at the huge sarcoma: "And the flesh forge will soon go underground." The only thing we had to worry about was the two guys who ran away. So the two of them, must die! ”
With a wave of his hand, the Blood Corpse Beast let out a roar, and then rushed out of the Golden and Silver Town.
"Doctor, let's discuss the next step in the work plan of the biofactory......
At this moment, Alan and the two were still hiding in the canopy, and after a period of calming down, Allen's mood finally stabilized.
Alexia checked her gear, she had left her armor on the ground before going underground, so it was still a tight-fitting leather suit, and the rain was soaking even more tempting. She scrutinized the alchemy musket and sniper rifle in her hand for the ensuing battle.
"How are we going to inform the Knights' headquarters?" Alan didn't dare to keep his eyes on Alexia, so he turned his back to the other party at the moment, and looked into the distance to monitor the movement around him.
"My communicator is broken, we must find the nearest branch of the Order and send a message." Alexia said without raising her head, "I'm afraid it's going to be very dangerous along the way." Those monsters won't let us go so easily. ”
Alexia suddenly raised her head when she said this, and asked, "I actually wanted to ask for a long time, who is Raymond in your mouth?" Why was he able to create so many monsters in such a short period of time, it was so unconscionable? ”
"Raymond joined our previous bounty team half a year ago. At that time, our team was in some trouble and needed a lot of money. At this time, Raymond approached us and gave us 5,000 gold coins. "Captain Henry didn't say where he came from, we just know that this guy is a rich man, he doesn't lack equipment, he doesn't lack money, and he entered the bounty team just to find excitement." ”
Alexia nodded, she put away the alchemy weapon and said, "I think the family behind him should have some strength, and it is very likely that he has already controlled most of the family's resources, otherwise I really can't understand why he can completely transform the gold and silver town in such a short time." ”
"Family power?" Alan couldn't help frowning, "If that's the case, then we must contact the Knights as soon as possible." How's the rest? Alan finally turned his head and asked.
"It's OK, let's go!"
Alexia jumped down, stabbed the dagger into the trunk of the tree and landed directly to the ground, while Eren jumped off without any equipment. The two of them began to run towards the nearest human town!
Since most of the surrounding towns have been attacked by zombies, and the number of mutant zombies is increasing, the destination chosen by the two is a medium-sized city, Luoyin City.
As a medium-sized city, Falling Silver City has an independent airship port and is responsible for the release of some major bounty missions in the surrounding area. The Republic has a permanent army of 1,500 men stationed here, as well as three airships for combat purposes, which can be used for ground fire support. The armed forces of Falling Silver City are enough to deter the surrounding supernatural lifeforms, and even some high-level zombies do not dare to easily move around Falling Silver City.
Alexia unfolded the map, and a bright red line marked the path of the two men.
"At this rate, it will take us at least ten days to reach Falling Silver City!"
Alexia frowned and said, "So, we need a steam-powered car!" ”
"Find a place to get one." As he spoke, Alan set his gaze on a small town not far from here, and he pointed, "Go here." ”
The two of them set their sights on their target and began to speed up, Alan wanted to say that it would be faster to hold Alexia, but in the end he didn't speak. However, Alexia stopped abruptly after running for several minutes, and then walked in front of Alan: "Don't think about it, I'm just trying to save some time." As she spoke, she put her arms around Alan's neck.
Alan was stunned for a few seconds, and finally it dawned on him, he stretched out his arms to pick Alexia up by the waist, and then suddenly his feet were violently forced, and the whole person rushed out like a cannonball.
"The virus is powerful in transforming you." Feeling the wind whistling in her ears, Alexia whispered in Alan's ear, "As long as you don't lose your mind, the Knights will not work against you." We've named a self-aware virus infected like yours as an Inhuman. You will be under our surveillance for the rest of your life, but as long as you are not affected by the virus, we will not disturb your life. ”
Alan's eyes lit up when he heard this, he looked at Alexia and asked, "Is this true?" ”
"Of course, I don't have to lie to you!" Alexia replied.
"That's great!"
Alan suddenly thought of Captain Henry, and now he no longer had to hide his identity, after all, with a legal status, it would be much easier to act in the future.
After a brief conversation, the two fell silent until they approached the target town.
Gently put Alexia down, Allen's hanging heart finally let go, the feeling of nephrite in his arms made him a little uneasy, fortunately, the time of this intimate contact was not too long.
"Let's go, try your luck!"
