Chapter 45: The Starry Sky Behind the Smoke
The blood moon in the sky glowed a bewitching red, and the corpses on the ground had piled up into mountains, and the soil on the land had been soaked with blood. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The severed limbs and severed arms on the ground that originally belonged to mutant beasts were slowly dissipating, and even some blood stains were slowly fading.
It was as if it had never been there.
Only the human corpses in that place were left, and they fell to the ground to complain about all the ordeal they had endured.
Taking advantage of the retreat of the mutant beasts, the adventurers in St. Regis went out of the city to bring many corpses back to the town.
Some of the surviving adventurers are looking for the corpses of their relatives or friends in the corpses, and they can find the complete corpses that are quite good, but many of them will be torn apart and bitten by mutant beasts after death, and even eaten part of them, and it is really difficult to find the corpses of these people.
Many women and family members hid their faces and wept, thinking that important family members had died in the war, and even the corpses were not left.
The members of Team 001 were leaning against a large tree within the city walls, telling them about what they had experienced today.
"Why is your task so difficult?And the time is actually different from ours, it should be because of your strength" Lin Ziyi frowned and looked at Lin Zihan, she didn't say her real doubts to her face, but Lin Zihan already understood, she wanted to ask if it was because of the subsystem.
"No wonder you haven't come out for so long," Fang Jianguo said abruptly, wiping his shield.
"It should be because your strength is stronger than ordinary people, otherwise ordinary tasks are too easy for you, so the system deliberately increases the difficulty of your tasks?"
After hearing Lin Ziyi's guess, Yun Rou also felt that it made sense, and then turned her head to look at the others and asked if there was a better answer.
Ying Xinghai and Xin Yidie shook their heads after glancing at each other, and the two of them couldn't think of any reason.
"Since that's the case, don't think about it, if you come, you'll be safe, fortunately, it's not too late for me to arrive before you have an accident" Lin Zihan knew in his heart that it might be because he had a subsystem, so he increased the difficulty of his task.
Fortunately, his strength is still quite strong, so he won't be able to fight the D-level mutant beast.
"Everyone, someone is looking for" Liao Mengmeng's voice came from afar.
Liao Mengmeng, this guy, went to the battlefield to clean up the corpses just after the battle, saying that he was helping to clean up the battlefield, but in fact, he went to take the opportunity to collect some materials on the corpses of mutant beasts that did not completely disappear.
Lin Zihan and the others walked towards Liao Mengmeng when they heard this, and when they walked to the city gate, they saw Liao Mengmeng standing with Zhong Jilu.
"Captain, this is Zhong Jilu, the commander of the South Gate this time, and a member of the Adventurer's Guild" Liao Mengmeng introduced Zhong Jilu's origin to Lin Zihan.
"Hello, Captain Lin, I heard your name before, but I didn't expect this to be the case when we met for the first time" Zhong Jilu directly stretched out his left hand to greet Lin Zihan.
Lin Zihan shook hands with her and said modestly, "Hello Commander Zhong, I'm just an ordinary adventurer, but my strength is a little higher than others, so I don't have to be so polite."
Zhong Jilu smiled after hearing this, "Captain Lin, don't be polite, your strength is obvious to all of us, but you have forced back the C-level demonic beast."
"So, what is the purpose of Commander Zhong?"
Lin Zihan didn't talk to Zhong Jilu either, and asked her directly about her intention.
"I'm going around the bend with Captain Bulin, I'm here to beg Captain Lin if he can temporarily station the team at the south gate?"
Zhong Jilu looked at Lin Zihan and them expectantly.
This is also something that cannot be helped, because the system has not yet announced that the mutant beast siege has officially ended, so there will definitely be other mutant beasts and even demonic beasts attacking in the future.
For the sake of the town's plans, she had to ask Lin Zihan and their team to temporarily garrison the city wall, so that they could be ready to face the mutant beast herd.
"If it's just this, I can promise you, but it won't help if only our team stays here" Of course, Lin Zihan would not refuse Zhong Jilu's request.
After all, they also hope to protect Regis Town and let him be harmed by the attack of mutant beasts, and their current net worth and lives are in this Rigi Town, even if Zhong Jilu doesn't say it, they will stay.
"Yes, it doesn't make much difference if only our team stays" Liao Mengmeng pouted on the side, as if she was not satisfied with her and wanted to stay.
"Don't worry, I've already arranged for other adventurers to go and talk about it, and most of the adventurers should agree to stay on the city wall to keep vigil."
After hearing Zhong Jilu's answer, Liao Mengmeng's expression was a little better, it seemed that she felt that there were so many people with her, so she didn't care.
When the others heard this, they nodded secretly, which was acceptable.
After seeing everyone's expressions, Zhong Jilu said to everyone, "Please come with me, and your team will also follow me to the city wall, so that you can also have a more keen insight into the movement of the dusk woods at night."
At this time, a member of the Self-Defense Forces ran to Zhong Jilu and said, "Command, the statistics are out"
"Okay, let's talk while we go" Zhong Jilu beckoned Lin Zihan and the others to follow him, and then asked the team member about the results.
"There are more than 4,000 adventurers in the town to defend against the attacks of mutant beasts, and we, the Adventurers Guild in Regis Town, have also dispatched a thousand self-defense forces to help defend against them.
A total of 2,000 adventurers and more than 500 self-defense forces participated in the defense of our south gate, and the casualties counted so far have reached 600 adventurers dead and missing, and most of the rest are more or less injured.
More than 100 people were killed and missing by the Self-Defense Force, and most of the rest were injured, and the statistical results of the other two city gates have not yet come, but it should be less than ours, after all, our side is facing the dusk woods and is facing the most mutant beasts."
Zhong Jilu couldn't help frowning when he heard it, and sighed deeply: "Hey-I didn't expect that the casualties were still so big."
Arrange for the priest to treat the wounded, and then arrange for the surviving adventurers to identify the bodies of their family and friends, and if they find them, let them take the bodies back and bury them.
And let them bring their personal badges to the Adventurer's Guild to receive a certain amount of compensation, and if the rest of the corpses are not claimed, you will be responsible for burying them."
Lin Zihan and the others following behind them must have heard Zhong Jilu's conversation, but I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional for her, but Lin Zihan felt that it should be more biased towards the former.
Zhong Jilu also turned to Lin Zihan and asked, "Captain Lin, can the priest in the team help treat those injured people, you also know the current situation, we are in great need of manpower."
Regarding Zhong Jilu's request, Lin Zihan did not take it upon himself to agree for Yun Rou, but looked at Yun Rou and asked her to make up her mind.
Yun Rou looked into the distance, those who were being treated were being arranged in a simple greenhouse, and there were many people waiting for the priest's treatment, moaning miserably from time to time, Yun Rou couldn't bear to be moved after seeing it, "I'll go, they need my help"
"Then I'll go and help too."
"I'll go too, I'll go"
Lin Ziyi and Xin Yidie also walked out of the team together, saying that they would go together to help.
Seeing that they all went to help the injured person, Liao Mengmeng also went with him.
Zhong Jilu looked at them and thanked them heartily, and then asked the self-defense team member to take Yun Rou and them to treat and help the survivors immediately.
And the rest of Lin Zihan and Zhong Jilu walked on the city wall.
The cold wind of the night blew on the faces of several people, making people feel a little cool, but the faint smell of blood in the air still made people clearly think of the battle in the afternoon.
Outside the town of Rigi under the starry sky, it is particularly desolate, with all kinds of potholes and mud, broken guns and arrows.
Looking at the dusk woods in the distance, Zhong Jilu's voice sounded slowly: "Originally, I thought that the C-level demonic beast should appear at the last moment, but I didn't expect that a C-level fire-type jade-faced fire fox appeared in the previous battle.
If there are mutant beasts attacking the city in the future, I don't know how many C-rank monsters will appear."
Lin Zihan and the others also looked in the direction of the dusk woods, and no one knew how many creatures were hidden there.
No one knows how many or how high-level mutant beasts and demonic beasts they will face.
Thinking of this, Fang Jianguo and Ying Xinghai's mood was also a little low, and they didn't know if they could still guard the south gate of Rigi Town.
"Pray that we will have the good luck next time, after all, the system should not want to wipe us all out."
Lin Zihan comforted everyone's emotions, if everyone was so low, then they would have already lost half of them before the mutant beast attacked the city.
Zhong Jilu turned his head to glance at Lin Zihan and laughed self-deprecatingly, and then walked slowly towards the distance of the city wall.
Then came a faint voice.
"Possibly"
