Chapter 13 (Lost Friends)
Chapter 13
Dark shadows flickered in the night sky, and strange noises filled the surroundings of Chen Fei and the others who ran all the way to the city center. I saw Chen Fei and Long Mei supporting Shi Yun, who had a large piece of skin and flesh ripped off his legs, and the garrison officers covering their group had been killed and killed by the strange beasts that had caught up on the way to retreat, and the leaders of this team of garrison officers were Xie An and Fan Jiu, who were responsible for rescuing the citizens of Ling Bo and Chen Fei's family.
The black shadow approached step by step, Xie An Fan Jiu and the few remaining garrison officers around him were already scarred, they each sorted out the ammunition of the assault rifle in their hands, counted the few bullets, they knew that the damage of firearms to most alien beasts was absolutely limited.
Since the last Earth Altar Beast Attack, Hidden Blue City has been asking the Alliance Headquarters in the Shadow City to send troops to strengthen its defenses. finally asked to be accepted, but what was waiting for was an army of alien beasts that was even more terrifying again.
If it weren't for the godhead team led by Zero Bo to notify the Qianlan City garrison in time and provide support, Xie An and Fan Jiu didn't know what Qianlan City would be ravaged in just a few hours.
"Chen Fei, although the attack of the alien beast is much slower, please speed up, there is already a hidden team that looks like a strange beast approaching us, although there are not many of them, but with our current situation, it is difficult to annihilate them. Xie An, who was running at the end of the retreating line, urged.
Facing the retreating citizens in front of him who had already suffered casualties, Xie An was even more unbearable, but the situation still did not improve, and he and the remaining garrison officers did not dare to relax at all.
"Captain Xie, I can still fight, let me join you. Chen Fei turned around and said to Xie An.
"I can also fight, and I will ...... with you," Shi Yun on the side gasped and cried out, only to see that his left leg was already dripping with blood, and he only roughly pricked the wound with a strip of cloth.
Xie An glanced at the two of them and shook his head with a wry smile. Fan Jiu on the side immediately rejected the proposal of the two, "You are friends with Zero Bo, he and his team are rushing to the rescue, so we must protect you before this, this is the duty of our garrison officer, and we don't want to involve you in battle." But Fan Jiu didn't finish speaking, he looked at the injured citizens who were still moving forward, and couldn't help sighing.
"We can't all count on Zero Wave, what he can't protect, I'll protect. The alliance's reinforcements have been delayed for a long time, and Zero Bo has not been able to come for a long time, are we considered to be abandoned?" Shi Yun shouted angrily, and the two eyes that were already red looked at Xie An and Fan Jiu behind him.
"Whether we are abandoned or not, we still have to work hard to live, we have our own beliefs and protections like Zero Wave, don't we? Long Mei beside Shi Yun spoke, Shi Yun looked back at the girl he had been secretly in love with for a long time, and her gloomy and desperate eyes made Shi Yun extremely heartbroken.
"Click, click, click...... We finally caught up. Suddenly, there was a strange laugh from around the retreating ranks, and the retreating citizens were already terrified of this evil sound. Immediately chaotic formation, random and crazy scattered in all directions.
"Click, click...... The massacre began...... Find the key......" As several black shadows landed, more than a dozen sturdy beasts with sharp claws rushed through the chaotic citizens.
"Fire!" Fan Jiu roared, and the remaining garrison officer raised his gun at the same time, pulling the trigger while rushing towards the alien beast in sight. I saw tongues of fire gushing out, knocking several killing beasts to the ground, but the fallen beasts staggered and stood up again, and the wounds on their bodies from the bullets were not enough to kill. The panicked citizens who fled greatly hindered the shooting of the garrison.
"Captain Xie, be careful. A garrison officer suddenly pounced on Xie An from behind, Xie An stumbled to the side, and the guard officer who pushed him away behind him was instantly pierced by a sharp claw in the chest, and fell to the ground in pain.
Xie An didn't have time to take a second look at his teammate who fell to the ground, and another strange beast appeared in front of him, waving his claws, "Damn! bastard!" Xie An rolled to avoid the falling claws, and at the same time pulled out his matching gun and aimed at the head of the strange beast at close range, and the gunfire exploded with the explosion of the strange beast's head. "Let you pay for your blood debts!" Xie An drew his saber and held a gun in one hand, rushing towards the wanton beast.
At this moment, Fan Jiu also threw away the assault rifle that had run out of bullets in his hand, pulled out his own matching gun, and replaced it with the last one*. "Even if you can hold a ......" There were already several deep claw wounds on his chest, blood was constantly dripping from the corners of his mouth, and his body had begun to shake slightly. It seems that he has done his best.
A strange beast that was staring at Fan Jiu rushed towards him again with its sharp claws, Fan Jiu exhaled, stabilized his trembling hand, and raised his gun to shoot. The accurate marksmanship shot through the head of the strange beast that pounced, but the corpse of the strange beast knocked Fan Jiu, who had no time to dodge, into the ruins on the side, and Fan Jiu spurted out another mouthful of blood, rolling to the side with the body of the strange beast.
"Fan Jiu!!" Xie An on the side exclaimed, seeing his dearest teammate brother seriously injured and falling to the ground, he was already sad and indignant. At this time, Xie An was the only one left in the garrison, and he looked at his teammates who had been slaughtered all around, and then at the several strange beasts that were approaching him.
"Wow~Kakka...... Is this the end?Do you feel hopeless?" A strange beast monster led by him smiled and waved his claws, walking step by step towards Xie An, who was covered in blood but still standing in front of him.
Xie An threw away his rifle that had already run out of bullets, and pointed the only remaining saber in his hand at the strange beast in front of him. “...... You must die here, disgusting monsters, and Wave Zero's team will kill you all. Xie An gasped, the corners of his mouth pulled up slightly, but as his face trembled, tears slipped down Xie An's face in large pieces.
"Well, please call out your savior. Before the beast's words fell, Xie An raised his hand to block with his saber, but he had already exhausted his strength, and the saber flew out in an arc, and his left shoulder was instantly pierced by the five-fingered claw. A sharp pain hit, Xie An's eyes widened, beads of sweat the size of beans ran down his cheeks, and a low and painful sound came from his throat.
"What a tough guy. The beast smiled evilly, and the claws that were inserted into Xie An's shoulder were pulled away, and with the blazing blood, Xie An's left arm was torn off alive and fell aside. Xie An could no longer support it and fell to his knees, and the wail of pain was terrifying. The beast stretched out its long tongue and licked the blood from the tip of its claws. The arrogant hissed in satisfaction. And Xie An, who was on the ground, had already exhausted his strength, looking at the citizens who had suffered heavy casualties in the corner. The eyes gradually lost their light.
"It's your turn......" The hordes of strange beasts slowly approached the frightened citizens huddled in the corner. "Your helpers haven't come yet, and the killing continues. The alien beast at the head shook off the blood on its claws, and the owner of the blood had fallen quietly on the ground not far away, lifeless.
As the strange beast approached, Chen Fei immediately stood up and tightly protected Shi Yun Longmei and the citizens behind him. "Who is the key to the otherworld? Hand it over and spare your lives. The claws of the beast's hands collided with each other and made a crisp sound.
Long Mei, who was behind Chen Fei, didn't wait for Chen Fei to speak, and rushed forward to block Chen Fei. "With me, let them go, and kill me if you want to. ”。
Seeing this, Shi Yun on the side shouted angrily, "Are there still few people you killed? He knew that Long Mei didn't have any otherworldly stones at all, and before the words fell, Shi Yun grabbed an assault rifle that had already run out of bullets in his hand and smashed it on the head of the alien beast that was the leader. The head of the strange beast was slightly on one side, and Shi Yun, who was swinging in the air, had already stumbled because of his leg injury, and the strange beast raised his leg and kicked Shi Yun away. Shi Yun was like a kite with a broken string, falling on the ruins on one side, crushing blood.
"Shi Yun !!" Long Mei looked at Shi Yun and shouted in a panic, and Chen Fei immediately pulled out her legs and ran towards Shi Yun. I saw that the strange beast didn't wait for the panicked Chen Fei to react, reached out and grabbed Long Mei's neck, lifting her in the air, "Before you lose your breath, hand over the key to the other world." As the beast spoke, the force on her hand increased, and Long Mei struggled hard, but the suffocation feeling became heavier and heavier.
Shi Yun and Long Mei's lives were on the line, and they had already broken the last line of defense in Chen Fei's heart, causing Chen Fei's will to resist quickly began to disintegrate, tears began to flow on her face, and she watched Shi Yun who was seriously injured and struggling behind her, and Long Mei, who was tightly choked by the strange beast in front of her, and gradually stopped struggling. Kneeling on the ground in despair. "Little Zero...... Where are you? Where are you!!"
"Let go !!" A cold voice appeared in front of the alien beast led by it, and a killing intent as cold as the voice instantly wrapped the alien beast that was still pinching Long Mei's neck just now like a sharp knife. And at this moment, the clawed hand that he was pinching Long Mei had been clamped by a greater force full of anger, and he had to let go of Long Mei's neck.
Long Mei collapsed limply into the arms of the man holding a long sword. And Chen Fei behind the figure was already so excited that she couldn't cry, "Zero...... Little Zero ......" Zero Bo looked around at the situation, his eyes full of sadness and cold anger. The huge momentum made all the surrounding beasts, including the leading beast in front of him who was arrogant and wanton a few seconds ago, all stunned in place, not daring to move.
Zero Bo turned around and gently put Long Mei in his arms on the ground, he brushed Long Mei's neck with his hand, but he couldn't feel any pulse of life. At this moment, Chen Fei and Shi Yun also staggered to Long Mei's side, and the moment they saw Long Mei, Shi Yun finally couldn't support his body, and sat on the ground weakly, and the sad whimper gradually sounded.
"I'm sorry, I'm late......" Zero Bo muttered in pain, not even daring to look at Chen Fei's tearful eyes. I don't know if it was because of excessive sadness or the anger that was about to explode, Zero Bo's hand holding the long sword turned white, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
