Chapter 153: The Chase
Merlin had already run into a few sporadic monsters on the street when he escaped, and he first tried to run a little way to the nearest north gate, only to find that the density of monsters was increasing exponentially.
If he could have tried to force his way through before he was injured, but now it seemed that the road was impassable, so Merlin turned around and ran towards the west of the city, where it was a civilian area with complex structures and easy to hide.
In other words, others may still worry about whether this move will cause problems for those innocent civilians, but a cold-blooded animal like Merlin has never had a similar burden, as long as it can buy him a chance to breathe, let alone this little person in the civilian area, even if the whole of Solal is burned, he will not care.
When the old man rushed to the west of the city with the god-killing puppet, it was a complete chaos, and those monsters focused the first wave of attacks on the city gate and the armament station, and it stands to reason that the civilian area is still safe for the time being, but I don't know who spread the news of the monster's entry into the city, which immediately caused a huge panic.
People crying dad and shouting mother's luggage, ready to flee for their lives, the road is full of people on their backs, and scattered goods, the old man shot to kill a few people, but to no avail, even if the people in front of them feel scared, but they are pushed and coerced by the people behind them, there is no way to escape, or can only hug up.
The old man patted the god-killing puppet on the shoulder, "Can you find out where he is?"
The latter nodded, and the chaos in front of him could only blind his vision, but the god-killing golem used the Force to track the target and would not be affected, so it quickly locked on Merlin's position.
The latter is now hiding in a small shack, trying to evade the pursuit in this way.
The old man sneered, "It's not that easy to escape. ”
At this moment, the street could no longer walk, so the god-killing puppet decisively chose another route, squatted, bent its knees, and stepped on the ground fiercely, and under the action of the reaction force, its figure jumped high and landed on the roof of a building. Obviously huge but with a flexibility not inferior to that of a gecko, it jumped repeatedly on the roofs of one building after another, and soon arrived in front of the small shack.
Even in the civilian quarters, this is the lowest place, and the people who live in this area do not even have a hut to live in, but are only crammed into shacks like livestock, and the number of poor people at the bottom like this is always the largest in every city.
It's no wonder that Merlin chose this place as a hiding place, because as far as the eye can see, there are dense broken shacks everywhere, and some people simply sleep on a straw mat.
Most people are unclothed, their eyes are lifeless, full of numbness, even if they are attacked by monsters, they can't make them have any more emotions, life is already like this, no matter how miserable it is, how miserable can it be?
However, those who have children at home are still ready to flee with their children in their arms, but compared to those ordinary people before, they don't even know if they can survive the escape without food
The old man was not polite, and commanded the god-killing puppet to overturn the shack directly, but to his surprise, there was only a skinny man and his equally skinny daughter below.
The old man was shocked and angry, "What about people?!"
The god-killing puppet's gaze fell on the burning stove, where an iron pot was shelf, and the red liquid in it was tumbling and bubbling, emitting an alluring fragrance that even the lifeless walking corpses around them smelled the aroma and showed a look of greed on their faces.
"Good guts!!" The old man had repeatedly reminded himself to guard against the other party's cunning, but he didn't expect to be hit, who would have thought that Merlin would be so cruel to himself, judging from the size of the iron pot, he put at least one-fifth of the blood, used as bait to mislead the god-killing puppet, this price is not small, no wonder there is a rich force everywhere nearby.
The old man has begun to panic a little, the two sides have fought twice, he obviously has an advantage in strength, but he has been led by the other party's nose, and his confidence has begun to shake unconsciously, and he doesn't even know if his next move will be expected by the other party.
This is a big taboo in battle, and the old man knows this, so after a short period of panic, he tried to calm the restlessness in his heart, and with a glimmer of hope, asked the god-killing puppet on the side, "Elsewhere, are there any Force fluctuations?"
However, the latter disappointed him this time, and he stood still without any reaction when he heard the words.
It was also the first time for the old man to use this ultimate weapon, and he didn't know enough about its internal mechanism, he didn't know if the god-killing puppet's current reaction was due to the interference of the nearby Force, so he planned to leave here with the latter first.
However, just as he took a step and was about to turn away, his heart suddenly moved.
He thought of a possibility, which even he thought was a bit crazy, but because of that, it was more in line with the guy's style.
The old man stopped, turned his head sharply, and his gaze fell on the scrawny man, who was startled and shrank back, with a hint of fear in his eyes.
Although his reaction did not look like a fake, the old man still let the god-killing puppet slap the other party to death, until he saw the man turn into a ball of meat sauce, the old man's heart was a little calmer, but then he was enveloped by a wave of disappointment.
Guessing wrong again also means that he has completely lost the trace of Merlin, although it is difficult for the other party to escape from the city now, but the old man does not want to wait any longer, lest it will change later, and if he can't see Merlin's body for a moment, his heart can't let go for a moment, and he is also worried that Merlin will be picked up by others after he hangs up.
Therefore, the old man did not wait any longer, and manipulated the god-killing puppet to run towards the other streets, no matter what, Merlin had always been here, so it was very likely that he was still nearby, and there might be some clues left in his hurry.
Not long after the old man's figure left, Olavien also arrived, her eyes paused on the little girl guarding her father's corpse, and a hint of inexplicability flashed, but then she did not stop, and continued to chase the god-killing puppet away.
When everyone was far away, the little girl raised her head, obviously her father had just died tragically in front of her, but there was no sadness in her eyes, which was obviously abnormal even in the lifeless slums.
"Damn, I chased after me so closely, I almost got into a goof. ”
What came out of the little girl's mouth was Merlin's voice, because of the existence of the god-killing puppet, he was also forced to be anxious this time, even if he had camouflage props on his body, he still almost overturned.
In order to confuse the pursuers, he not only recognized a new father, but also filled a tube of blood, and now Merlin is unprecedentedly weak, and he can barely maintain even the most basic disguise, and complains in his mouth, "I will never take this kind of ghost errand again." ”
