Chapter 62: Fighting the Darkness
Standing here and observing the fog carefully, Louis had already pulled out his lightsaber, the biggest advantage of this weapon is that it is easy to carry, you can take it with you wherever you go, and it will not attract people's attention.
Artoria goes out in civilian clothes, but that doesn't mean she's out of combat, and she can handle most enemies even empty-handed.
They stared ahead for a moment, but no more red was seen, as if what the two of them had seen before was just an illusion.
At this moment, the dense fog next to it began to change, and the dense fog further west of the area that had been cleared earlier was gradually turning yellow.
"Looks like we're going to change our plans. ”
The fog turns yellow, which means that monsters will come out of the fog at any time, which is not something to be happy about.
Just when the two of them were staring nervously at the yellow mist, Myron hurried over, and when he saw the two of them, he was first relieved, and suddenly stunned when he saw a large piece of fog turning yellow.
"There's a yellow fog here, too?"
Myron's words made the two of them realize what was happening: "Where else is the yellow fog?" Louis didn't look back, just stared cautiously at the changing fog, turning on the Force to detect enemies that could appear at any time earlier.
"West of the village. ”
Myron's answer was very succinct, and Louis immediately made a judgment after hearing it: "It used to be the north of the village, but now there is a yellow fog on the south and west sides, so the next one is the east side of the village?"
"I've been to the east before, and there is no yellow fog in that direction for a while. ”
The fact that it does not appear for the time being does not mean that it will not appear next, and at the same time, no one can guarantee that the yellow mist will not appear again in the north, Louis turned his head to look at Artoria: "You go back to get weapons and equipment first, I'm here to keep an eye on ...... What about Bruce?"
Bruce was staring west at the yellow fog. ”
It turned out that Bruce had already gone to the west of the village to keep an eye on, and Louis thought about it and said his own method directly: "Artoria will go back to get the equipment, and then come back to replace me...... Then I'm going to get the gear and replace Bruce!"
"That's it!" Artoria felt that there was nothing wrong with Louis's arrangement, and then she also said her thoughts: "When I retrieve my weapons and equipment, I will deal with this yellow fog in front of me, anyway, the original plan was that I was in charge of the south side." ”
"No problem, and then I'll go straight into the fog to the west!" Louis thought for a moment and said to Myron, "You and Bruce may have to keep an eye on the village to make sure that nothing happens to the east and north of the village." ”
"Leave this kind of thing to me with confidence!"
Without wasting time discussing any more details, Artoria and Myron rushed directly to their lodgings, while Louis stayed here, staring cautiously at the yellow fog in front of him.
He tried to condense his senses into a bundle and probe deeper into the fog, especially the place where there seemed to be red, and he wanted to see if there was a connection between the flash of red and the yellow fog.
Louis felt that there must be some connection between the two. How could it be such a coincidence? After a flash of red, a thick fog begins to turn yellow?
"Maybe that place is the heart of the fog?"
This may not be impossible, but if they want to really get in touch with the core, I'm afraid it's not that easy, they need to clean up the dense fog around them before they can get close to the location of the core, and no one knows what the core is. Maybe it's a device, or maybe it's a more dangerous fog?
Louis was on guard while thinking about it, staring at it for a long time, not to mention monsters, not even a small animal came out, it seems that although the yellow mist can bring creatures from another world to this world, it does not necessarily throw some creatures out, there may be a certain probability or other factors?
For such a long time, Artoria had already finished dressing up and rushed back with her weapons and equipment.
Similar to Louie's habits, she was also dressed in civilian clothes this time, put all her weapons in her bag, and then nodded at Louie and rushed straight into the yellow fog.
After Artoria entered the fog, Louis hurried to his lodgings, and then began to gather his weapons and equipment: "I knew that I wouldn't put it back on the shelf." ”
I came back for a meal, cleaned up the weapon before putting it on the shelf, I didn't expect to set off again so soon.
After complaining a few words, the movements of his hands were not slow, and he quickly sorted out the weapons and ammunition he needed, put them in his backpack and set off.
Rushing all the way to the west of the village, I met Bruce standing guard at the entrance of the village.
"Are there any monsters appearing?"
"Nope!"
Louis nodded, he didn't rush in like Artoria did, but explained something to Bruce: "It occurred to me that if these fogs are connected to various worlds, then what comes out of the fog may not all be monsters or other intelligent beings that we can see. ”
"You mean...... Ghosts?"
"Maybe it's microbes, germs, etc., and when you get back, ask Myron, is there any way to guard against this threat? ”
Bruce nodded, then watched as Louie walked into the fog, then turned and walked towards the village, where he too went to get some weapons and equipment.
He was destined to not be able to rest tonight, and Myron, like him, had to keep an eye on two thick fogs to prevent something from popping out suddenly. At the same time, Louis mentioned that he also needed to ask if there were any means of prevention or detection, and that the sage who had mastered the mysterious power knew how to deal with it......
Louis had several experiences with a piece of equipment on his back and had several experiences, but this time he didn't test whether he could team up to play the game, so he was just on the lookout for possible enemies. When the scenery around him changed and he was no longer in the fog, he knew that he was in another world again.
Looking left and right, he seemed to be in the middle of a wilderness. At the moment, the sky is not very good, and it looks very gloomy.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Louis feels that even the ground under his feet has a dark feeling, and the first feeling he has when he comes to the new world is that it is very bad.
"It doesn't look like some safe world!"
There was no living creature to be seen on the left and right, and when the vegetation was scarce and green grass could be seen on the ground, there were dry trees, which had not a single leaf on them, and there were more than one or two.
"I had a very bad premonition...... It's not supposed to be a fun world. ”
Put down the backpack behind him, take out body armor, tactical vest, and hang all the weapons and ammunition that can be hung on his body, and hold the HK416 assault rifle in his hand, and his confidence has become much more sufficient after being fully armed.
By the way, I checked this mission through the Seal of the Brave, and only got an unclear sentence: fight against the darkness!
"What kind of bullshit mission is this!"
If the Mark of the Brave that issued the mission was not on his left hand, but a separate prop, it would have been thrown to the ground by Louis at the moment.
He doesn't even know where to start with this kind of task, how can this be accomplished?
"I just finished talking to Bruce about the task that there may be a pitfall, and I didn't even have half a day to meet it, so I'm lucky...... Could it be that you have shot too many guns and become a gunman?"
The headless task made Louis very depressed, and he could only adjust his mentality by complaining. Carefully observe the surroundings, and use the eagle's eyes to see if there is anything that can be used as a reference, and figure out what world you have entered.
After looking around, Louie didn't see any life outside of himself, except for proving that the area was very desolate.
Fortunately, he saw a winding road not far away, and he was going to follow it, no matter which of the two directions, he would find the town, right?
Even the worst of them can meet human ...... Or the gathering area of intelligent life, Louis felt that in the moment when he had no clue, this was the most reliable choice.
Walking in the direction of the road, standing on the road and looking at the road that stretched in both directions, he muttered, "The Force will show me the way!" and walked firmly towards one of them.
As it turned out, the Force would not guide Louie as a rookie, and he walked for half a day without seeing a trace of a town or a village.
As he stopped again, using the eagle's eyes to look around, he finally saw the moving creature.
"It's a living person...... Doesn't it seem to be a living person?"
To his right, a little far from the road, Louis saw a figure wandering slowly across the wilderness.
That posture...... That action......
"Zombies?"
Louis was very depressed, and after walking for a long time, he finally saw a movable corpse.
After thinking about it, Louie still got closer and took a closer look at the appearance of this zombie, wanting to judge where he was.
"The wilderness, the pale and slow-moving living dead, if a hard-haired mouse jumps out at this time......"
The combination of these things only reminded him of that world, and if his guess was correct, he had indeed won the jackpot.
"That mission doesn't mean that I have to deal with the Dreadlord, can I walk in front of that guy now? I'm afraid I can't even deal with his men?" Sighing helplessly, Louie raised his assault rifle and aimed at the zombies who were already not far away, and then pulled the trigger.
Thankfully, this zombie is no more difficult to fight than the zombies encountered in Resident Evil, and unfortunately, there is no reward for Louie to kill this zombie.
Sighing, Louis returned to the same path he had taken before, and just as he was thinking, 'My luck shouldn't be that bad, maybe this is not the Dark World!', when he saw a tall woman with a bow and arrows and a spear approaching him.
