Chapter 585: Night
This day is destined to be an unusual day.
An unknown but apparently vast scene has descended - the Holy Grail War. Heroic spirits are being summoned one after another.
But in the world, the summoning of a few heroic spirits in this mere area is inconspicuous, like throwing a Mentos in a Coke can, and it will only set off stormy waves after precipitation.
In contrast, there is an even more inconspicuous little thing that is also happening on the mainland.
It is a coastal city, and it has a resounding name: Qinhuangdao City.
This city, which has the nicknames of China's Summer City, Jinjing's Back Garden, and Bohai Pearl City, is still tenacious and alive after ten years of perseverance in the last days.
Because it is more than 300 kilometers away from Beijing, Qinhuangdao is still very little affected by the Beijing base, even if the people from the Beijing base come to solicit propaganda many times, even if the conditions of the Beijing base are excellent, but the distance of more than 300 kilometers is enough to make the vast majority of people afraid to move forward in this last days.
Moreover, after these years of development, and because of the dependence on the sea (lake), the pressure of food is much easier, so in this coastal city, it is also a base of tens of thousands of people.
Of course, after experiencing the large-scale advent of the Sphere Beast, all the bases with some strength have more or less obtained some Boundary Stones. It's just that for a small base like Qinhuangdao, all the demarcation stones obtained add up, and they are only enough to cover the core area of the base. Therefore, most of the remaining people should be on guard at all times for the sudden arrival of the Advent.
It was night, and the salty and wet sea breeze was unusually cold.
In a small dilapidated room in the corner of the base, a man and a woman, as well as a young boy who looked to be about ten years old, slept in their arms.
The room is very small, only three or four square meters, which is enough to put down a bed, so the family of three in the room can only squeeze into this small bed and snuggle up to each other for warmth.
Cold winter nights. It is not easy to get through it peacefully, and at this time, at the door of the room, a zombie suddenly appeared in tatters, with rotting flesh and blood and looking terrible. After appearing, he stayed in place for a few seconds, and then he smelled the fragrant smell of the three members of the family in the door, opened his rotten mouth, slammed open the drooping door, and then threw himself on the bed!
The loud sound of the door breaking woke up the occupants of the room. The man who was on the outermost side to shield the mother and son from the wind had just opened his misty sleepy eyes and was awakened by a sharp pain coming from his back. He turned his head and saw an ugly and hideous zombie face, and he was immediately shocked out of his body, but out of the instinct to protect his wife and children, the pain in his body seemed to be suppressed, he turned over and kicked the zombie in the chest hard, kicking it directly out of the room.
Although the zombie is terrifying, as long as it is a normal adult man. Hit the vital point to kill. What's more, under this movement, the other people in the neighborhood were also awakened, and they all walked out of the door to see the zombies. They all picked up wooden sticks and bricks, swarmed up, and beat the zombies to death.
After the zombie died, it turned into a point of light and slowly escaped. After questioning the injured man, the others went back to their homes and went back to sleep.
It's just a zombie that happens to come to you. A man who has lived a long time in the last days. Who hasn't encountered a Descender who suddenly came to him once or twice?
This kind of thing is like a car accident, it seems far away, but in fact, I don't know when I was walking on the road and suddenly encountered it. Either someone else encounters it, or you encounter it yourself. People who have been tempered in the last days, even if they are just ordinary people, already have tough nerves.
Only some neighbors who had a good relationship with the man came to offer a few words of condolences or bring some medicine and gauze.
The night gradually fell silent.
There is a convoy inside the base, which is responsible for dealing with these arrivals who descend on the base. But it's just a zero-level zombie, and it's not worth the special dispatch of the escort team.
The man returned to the room, took off his clothes, and there were three shallow blood marks on his back. This is the trace that was scratched by the zombie just now.
The blood was very shallow, just a skin wound. And so many years of experience also let everyone know that these zombies are just tigers made of paper, in addition to looking vicious and disgusting. Even if you are scratched, there is no such terrible "virus", at most it is just a headache and brain fever for a few days.
So after dressing and bandaging, even the man himself didn't take this little injury to heart, patted the woman's arm, barely erected the door to block some cold night wind, and then continued to sleep with his wife and children in his arms.
The wind is cold.
After about half an hour, everyone fell asleep again. But the man suddenly opened his eyes, there was no human light in his eyes, but a dead silence, and not only since when, the wound on the man's back has rotted a large area, even spreading half of his body.
Then, the man's nose twitched twice, as if he smelled something, lowered his head, and without hesitation, he bit the neck of the little boy in his arms, his teeth closed fiercely, and he tore off a large piece of flesh and blood!
As soon as the little boy's screams were heard, he was strangled in his throat. The woman was awakened by this movement, and when she saw this scene, she immediately screamed.
The man raised his head, glanced at her coldly, let go of the little boy with blurred flesh and blood in his hand, and pounced on the woman
A few minutes later, three figures covered in blood, one large and one small, staggered out of the room, and then followed the fresh "scent" to the next neighbor's room.
Under the cover of darkness, the blood began to spread but no one noticed. Fear, start to spread!
Beijing base.
In the room, a group of people at the core of the Beijing base gathered.
In addition to Chen Mu and Su Xuan, there are others. Angel, Yan Pei, Li Tianxin, and Dr. Li Hengguang were all present.
In addition, there was a blonde girl sitting straight next to Chen Mu, who did not feel the slightest discomfort because she was the focus of everyone's attention, and sat there quietly and comfortably. It was King Arthur Saber who was summoned as the "Knight of the Sword" position!
Chen Mu looked at the embarrassing atmosphere in the field, coughed dryly, and then introduced the origin of Saber, the first person to ask was Li Hengguang: "Chen Mu, that is to say, this Saber signed a contract with you, so now it is your servant, right?" So, is she an Adventist or not? The barrier of our base should be able to block all unauthorized adventers from entering, and Chen Mu shouldn't have given her permission, right? Why is she able to move freely? (To be continued......)
