Chapter 166: Convergence
I thought it was just a matter of going out to get a map, but it turned out to be full of turmoil, and even the one-eyed vulture of Vulture Castle was recruited, and it led to a Rebecca who could compete with Galahad, such a result was something that Turtledove and Bug didn't expect anyway.
Speaking of which, if they hadn't risked Goliath away to protect the innocent residents nearby, they might not have had so much trouble later, and they might have already gone back to join Schultz and Natalia.
Fortunately, after all these twists and turns, the turtle dove and the insect are still all bearded and tailed, and the injuries are a few places, but fortunately it is not too serious, and it can recover after a few days of rest.
But now is not the time to rest.
……
Slipping away from under Rebecca's nose, the turtledove and the little worm accidentally bumped into the patrol, fortunately the patrol leader had been saved by them before, and at this time, thinking of the old love, he opened one eye and closed one eye to let them go, so if it is calculated, this should be called good retribution.
Anyway, the two young men finally fled back to Schultz and Natalia's hiding place, and the turtledove, carrying the bug, looked around, and only made sure that no one was paying attention to it nearby, and then he quickly knocked on the door a few times.
It was Schultz who opened the door, and his expression was three points more impatient than that of the turtledove.
"Why are you only back now?"
Schultz let the turtle dove and the worm into the house, he was going to ask the two young people where they went, why they could toss a whole morning with a map, but when he saw that the worm was carried in on people's backs, and half of the skin on the turtle dove's arms was carbonized, and the black was not scary, Schultz suddenly didn't know what to say.
"What's going on?" Schultz asked, "How did you get this way?" ”
"Don't mention it."
The turtledove did not have time to answer Schultz's question, he first found a chair and put the worm down, and he ran to the mirror to check the injury on his shoulder, - the blood splattered by the parasitic beast after the self-explosion was indeed extremely corrosive, and he only had a few drops on his shoulder, and the corroded skin was still a small black spot earlier, and now the black dots have been connected.
It is estimated that this thing is not only corrosive, but also very toxic, otherwise why would the turtledove feel soft under the soles of his feet for a while, as if he had stepped on a cotton sleeve, and his steps were fluttering.
Trying to touch the carbonized skin, the tip of the turtledove's fingers hurt as soon as he touched it, and he grinned, as if someone had pressed it on it with a red-hot iron plate, and the musculature under the skin probably appeared to be necrotic.
"What the hell is going on?"
The little worm lay on the table for a long time and did not speak, Schultz had no choice but to continue to come over and ask the turtledove, looked back at Schultz, and the turtledove said:
"Me and she basically walked through the ghost gate."
So the turtledove told Schultz in detail about the whole process of leaving here and going to the residents' committee to find the map, and when he finally heard the name "one-eyed vulture", Schultz frowned visibly.
But by the time he heard the name "Rebecca" from the turtledove's mouth, Schultz's frown was almost enough to kill a fly.
……
"Are you sure it's Rebecca?"
If he hadn't sat in a chair, Schultz would have sat on the ground in shock, he knew much more about Rebecca than Turtledove, and had dealt with the woman a few times before.
Schultz himself is already a very powerful character, although it is still slightly inferior to Galahad, but don't forget that Rebecca is a fierce man who can seriously injure each other with Galahad, so the final results of Schulz's dealings with Rebecca are not too pleasant.
At least not very pleasant for Schultz.
"I don't know any Rebecca, but the worm can't be mistaken, right? Besides, it was the one-eyed vulture who said it herself, and if you can't do it, you can go out and see for yourself, not that I am exaggerating, I watched her drag Goliath to the ground with a whip. ”
Schultz's questioning made Turtledove a little unhappy, and said that how could he joke about this kind of thing, and when he heard Turtledove say that the woman was whipped, and her strength was strong enough to surpass ordinary people's understanding, Schultz was finally able to determine that Turtledove was right.
"It's really Rebecca," Schultz looked a little nervous, "if it's really her, we are not her opponents when we get together, and this is a big problem." ”
"Then let's run!" Turtledove said to Schultz, "Didn't you see that it was noon now, didn't you say that you would leave the abandoned city at noon, what are we still delaying here, hurry up!" ”
"I can't run."
Schultz shook his head and smiled wryly.
It turned out that when the turtledove and the worm went out to find the map in the morning, Schultz was not idle, but went out to check the blockade of the abandoned city border, and glanced at the situation on the Tide Caller's side from a distance, - the Tide Caller is always the thing he wants to kill the most, after all, after solving the eighteenth test subject, Schultz can be regarded as completely letting go of his mind.
Who knows that the tide caller's side is okay, the governor's people have been strictly guarded and trapped in the underground boxing arena, I believe that after a while, the tide caller of the trapped beast fight will be completely solved.
As for the blockade of abandoned urban borders, it is not so rosy.
First of all, Schultz did not expect that the governor would devote so many men to the border, there were a large number of guards on almost every road out of the city, let alone people, and it was difficult for even a small mosquito to fly out half of it.
Earlier, Schultz had seen a large number of unknown troops stationed in the city, whose origins he did not know at the time, but now after listening to the turtledove's story, he realized that those forces were most likely vulture castles.
Who would have thought that the support of the vulture castle would be so fast, there was turmoil only last night, and this morning it rushed to the gate of the abandoned city,
It's the Governor's man, and the one-eyed vulture, although the Tide Caller is a sure thing, but the border of the abandoned city has become impregnable at this time, and if you want to leave the abandoned city at this time, it seems that you have to fight with the patrol guarding the border.
……
Among the four people, the worm has lost most of its combat effectiveness, the turtledove's physical condition is not optimistic, Natalia is also seriously injured, only Schultz still maintains the combat effectiveness of his heyday, but with three "drag oil bottles", it is unknown how much strength Schultz can exert.
"I do know of a hidden passage to get out of here."
Turtledove and Schultz turned around, and Natalia, who was sleeping in the back room, had woken up for some reason, and she was standing in the doorway, changing into another outfit.
