Chapter 009: The Little Cockroach on Fire
"What's that?" Ham shouted, pointing to a fiery red light in the darkness two meters in front of us.
I heard the sound and saw that the fiery red light was slowly rising from the ground, and when it was mid-air, it flew towards me and Ham with a whirl.
I immediately pushed Ham out of the way, dodging the attack of the fiery light.
Seeing that the first blow was not successful, the fiery red light turned around and flew towards the two of us again. At this time, Ham and I stood on one side, and the fiery red light flew straight to the middle of us, and less than half a meter away from us, the fiery red light suddenly flew towards Ham.
"Run!" I immediately shouted at Ham.
Ham immediately took dozens of steps back after hearing this, but the fiery red light was pressing forward step by step, and Ham couldn't dodge the unknown fiery red light no matter how much he dodged.
That's not the way to go, I'll have to find a way to get rid of this unidentified fiery light.
I took out the only three spirit runes left from my pocket, and then put a spirit rune in front of me between the index and middle fingers of my right hand, and read it out of my mouth: "Dragon God Edict, Water God Yin Ji borrows the law!" ”
Suddenly, the spirit rune in my right hand turned into a cloud of water, and flew enchantingly towards the fiery red light.
Because of the control of water, the so-called water can extinguish fires, and the spell borrowed from the water god Yin Ji is entangled with the fiery red light, and it is inseparable for a long time.
Although it could not extinguish the unknown fire, it indirectly freed Ham from the siege.
Ham, who had escaped the fire, quickly ran over and sat beside me, looked at the fire and water entangled in the air, and said, "It's really scared to death!" Walker, why did it only attack me? ”
"That's the question I want to ask you, too." I asked Ham, "Why did he only attack you?" ”
Ham was stunned and looked at me in astonishment, unable to answer my question for a long time.
I sighed and said, "This fire can't just come out of nowhere, and it can't just attack you for no reason. Ham, do you have something else to hide from me? ”
Ham said without hesitation, "I've told you everything I know, and there's nothing to hide from you." ”
"But why does it only attack you and not me!"
"I" Ham was speechless.
I didn't speak again, silently watching the fire and water in the sky, and I couldn't calm down for a long time.
Ham must have something he hadn't told me, or he wouldn't have been able to explain that this fire was only attacking him and not me! But what else is he hiding from me? Why didn't he tell me all the ins and outs? Could it be that Ham's little cardboard box contains secrets that I can't predict? Is this secret what makes the church full of zombies?
呲呲呲――
While I was pondering, I suddenly heard a sound in mid-air, and the unknown fiery red light was extinguished by the water mass!
The fire fell to the ground and turned into a black mass.
Ham and I immediately ran over to find a small cockroach lying on the ground!
It was the little cockroach that chased Ham just now, and Ham and I were both embarrassed when we saw the truth. Neither of us expected to be scared half to death by a small cockroach. In order to vent his anger, Ham raised his right foot and tried to trample the corpse of the little cockroach.
I hurriedly stopped Ham, for I noticed two strange holes in the little cockroach's carcass, which were not large, but were unusually obvious when carefully separated.
I squatted down to take a closer look at the two holes, and found that the two holes were made side by side, and each hole was the same size and shape, which was most likely made by two teeth. But what kind of thing has such small teeth? In other words, the zombie that bites the cockroach must be an animal smaller than the cockroach. The animal is most likely an ant, a bee or a fly.
Compared with these, what makes me even more puzzled is that the cockroaches are also bitten to death by zombies, why do cockroaches have fire all over their bodies? And the zombies who are killed by the zombies outside are nothing more than purple-eyed zombies without thinking? I went through all the knowledge in my head, and I couldn't find the reason why the cockroach turned into a zombie monkey and was on fire.
"Walker, what are you thinking?" Ham asked curiously, seeing that I was silent in thought.
As soon as Ham finished speaking, we grabbed Ham by the collar and said sharply, "Ham, tell me honestly, what else are you hiding from me?" ”
Ham replied without hesitation: "I didn't!" Man, trust me, I told you what I knew! ”
"Then why is it like this?" I pointed to the corpse of the cockroach on the ground and asked, "If it's just a zombie, it won't be on fire!" And it won't just attack you! Ham, tell me honestly, have you done something against your conscience before? ”
Ham was stunned and overwhelmed, and he looked at me blankly, not knowing how to answer my words.
After a while, Ham still didn't tell me a useful clue, so I let go of Ham's collar and got up and walked around the little attic.
It is a small attic with a very strong Western style, and on the outside of it is a large clock when the church tells the time, and on the inside of the small attic is a wheel made of marble that supports the clock. It is precisely because of these gears that the hands of the clock outside are constantly turning.
I touched and checked the gears and didn't find anything out of the ordinary. And the frightened Ham still sat there and thought deeply. I didn't pay any attention to Ham, I think Ham must have forgotten something even about himself, he must be reminiscing now, and when he remembers some clues, he will tell me. What he needs now is time, quiet, and I shouldn't disturb him.
I looked out through the window of the small attic and was surprised to find that through the small window of the attic I could see the scenery outside, and it was not within the enchantment.
I was overjoyed, and this discovery gave me the desire to live.
I immediately told Ham what I had found, and explained that we could break the barrier through this small window and get out of the zombie-infested western cathedral.
Ham wasn't as surprised as I had imagined, and the first question he asked was something I couldn't think of.
He said, "We can go, but what about Riley? What did she do? ”
Ham really likes Riley, and when he is about to get out of danger, Riley is the first thing that comes to mind. But also, the two of us were originally here to look for Riley this time, but we didn't expect to be chased by zombies for an afternoon, and Riley's figure was not seen. What a ridiculous thing this is!
"Walker," Ham asked me, "are you mistaken, Riley shouldn't be in there?" ”
"Impossible!" I rejected, "I can't be mistaken, as long as the handkerchief you give Riley's, she'll be in this church." ”
"But why didn't we find Riley after searching all the churches?"
"I" faced Ham's repeated questioning, and I was speechless, not knowing how to answer.
The two were silent for a moment before I said, "Ham, listen to me, what we need to do now is to get out of here first."
"Impossible!" Before I could finish my sentence, Ham rejected my offer, "I'm not going to leave here until Riley is found." ”
"But if we don't get out of here immediately, we'll all be bitten to death by the zombies outside!" I said in a stern tone, "Do you really want to die here?" ”
Knock knock knock -
Knock knock knock -
Before Ham could reply, there was a deafening sound from the iron door of the little attic! All the people who were bitten to death by the zombies downstairs have been transformed, and the zombies after the corpses have smelled the smell of people and are rushing towards the small attic. And that's not worrying, because the temperature of the church has risen, and the zombies that I had frozen with snow have also regained consciousness because of the melting of the snow!
Now, in the entire church, two or three hundred zombies are attacking the small attic in an orderly manner as if they have heard someone's order!
Although the Iron Gate has my spirit rune in charge, they are outnumbered, and they will not last long, and the zombies will soon break through the Iron Gate! Now that Ham and I don't break the barrier and leave, we'll never have a chance to leave!
Thinking of this, I looked anxiously at Ham, hoping that Ham would give me a letter and leave this damn church with me!
