Chapter 14: The Truth About the Disaster
Chapter 14: The Truth of the Disaster
"Master Cottma, do you think this little priest brought back by Pruss is really reliable? This kid hasn't even healed himself, can he heal the brothers in the cave?"
Just as Mino entered the cave where the wounded person was, a man in a black robe looked at the backs of the three Mino men engulfed in darkness with a worried face, and a gray-bearded but sturdy old man next to him was talking.
Regarding the black-robed man's worries, the sturdy old man patted him on the shoulder, and smiled with a seemingly hearty but bitter look: "But if you don't believe him, what else can we do?" Mo Wensi, if the more than 30 wounded in the cave are not rescued, let alone the counterattack plan, we may not even be able to survive, if we are injured and die, who is willing to go out, there is only one way to die here." β
"Yes, I can only hope that Pruss has some ability to bring it back. β
Maybe Mino's too young appearance made the two of them lose confidence, so they just squatted on the bluestone next to them and chatted casually to pass the time, but both of them deliberately avoided unpleasant topics such as Mino, the wounded and the future, and casually chatted about some lighter topics, but both of them were obviously absent-minded, and turned their eyes to the hole from time to time.
"Come out! Mo Wensi, go and ask ......"
Seeing that the people in the cave had finally come out, the stout old man stood up in a hurry, and was about to open his mouth to ask, when he heard the cheerful shouts of Prus.
"It's all healed, it's all healed! The priestly brother named Mino healed all the injured uncles!"
"What? it's all cured!"
Probably this matter was too important, even though he knew that Pruss was not the kind of child who liked to lie, he still glanced at the strong man on the side suspiciously, and after receiving his confirmation nod, his tense brows and feet finally relaxed.
"Yes, great, it's good to be cured. This good news came so suddenly that the stout old man was so excited that he couldn't speak for a while, and he only knew that he hugged Pruss and applauded, and it took a while before he finally eased up: "Since the young men have been cured, then everyone's doubts can be dispelled, Mo Wensi, you take Suo Kang to inform everyone of this good news, and by the way, pick up our previous plan and plan it carefully." β
"No problem, I'll go. Hearing the old man's command, the black-robed man named Mo Wensi turned around and walked to the other side with the strong man who had Mino on his back, "But Master, won't you go back with me and celebrate with everyone?"
"Celebration, what's there to celebrate, no meat and no wine, this kind of celebration is not interesting, old man, I might as well go and see our new little hero, old man, whether I can go out alive to drink and eat meat depends on whether this kid is strong enough." β
After saying that, the stout old man ignored the stiff facial expressions of Mo Wensi and Sokon, patted Pruss on the shoulder, and walked towards the cave where Mino was.
......
"Eh, when the young man wakes up, he gets up quickly, and he always lies down and shouts. β
In a daze, Mino had just regained a little sense of self, and just when he was suffering from a headache due to the sequelae of mental exhaustion, he heard an old man's voice urging him.
"Who are you, old man, and I'm not treating the wounds of Prus's uncles, and where's that little one?"
Reluctantly opened his eyes, Mino raised his eyes and saw a sturdy old man with white hair and beard squatting next to him and looking at him, while holding a large wine jug in one hand and pouring it into his mouth, looking indescribably bold.
"Pruss has brought you something to eat, and as for the old man, I'm the leader of this survivors' camp. β
While listening to the old man's explanation, Mino carefully checked the environment he was in.
Although he is still in a cave, he is no longer the same as before, and under his body is a bunch of simple beds made of broken old clothes, although it is extremely simple, it is much better than those injuries who can only lie directly on the ground, so it can be seen that his situation should still be quite safe.
This made Mino secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and while restraining the dizziness in his head, he began to talk:
"Old man, you are the leader of this survivor camp, to be able to take on such a heavy responsibility at such a critical moment, your old man's prestige must be very high on weekdays. β
After saying this, Mino made a look of expectation, his brain was spinning rapidly, and he was about to analyze what he wanted from the old man's words, but he didn't expect the strong old man to put down the wine jug after listening to it, pursed his lips, and said with some disdain:
"You can just say what the young man wants to ask, old man, I promise to know everything, and forget the clichΓ©s or something. Wiped off the remaining water stains on his mouth, the old man patted Mino's shoulder, "Obviously a priest, but there are so many eyes in his heart, the young man doesn't learn well." β
The old man's words made Mino smile and explained rather embarrassedly: "Isn't this cautious? Old man, you know a person who is careless when he goes out and is sold. β
"I know, but young man, your worries are a bit redundant, you have helped us a lot, we are grateful that you are too late, especially here for the lack of medical treatment, you are our only life-saving straw, it's too late to love you, which bastard dares to hurt you is with the old man, I can't get along with the old man......"
There were a lot of words in and out, in the midst of which there were all kinds of thanks, complaints and curses on the living dead, which were mixed together in such a mess that Mino's head was dizzy, and seeing that the old man was getting more and more energetic as he spoke, and regardless of any politeness or impoliteness, he hurriedly stopped to:
"Old man, I have received your gratitude, but I was chased and killed by those living dead as soon as I entered this Sword Furnace Town, and I have been on the road since I was rescued by Prus, and I still don't know much about the current situation, why don't you introduce it to me?"
"Also, old man, I patronize the poor mouth, but I have forgotten this stubble, you newcomers are interested in these things, old man, I will give you a brief talk to the young man. β
The stout old man who was interrupted by Mino to talk about sex was neither annoyed nor embarrassed, laughed, and after admitting his mistake heartily, he began to introduce the cause of his current situation to Mino:
"This thing has to start from the day of the opening festival, which was supposed to be in good swing, and everyone gathered in the center of the town to watch the sword trial, but in the middle of the way, the old boy in Memphis did not know what was sick, and suddenly jumped on the stage of the martial arts competition, and declared his allegiance to a devilish archduke. β
"Then just when everyone was at a loss, a huge aura of black qi burst out from his body, enveloping the whole town, under the shroud of this aura, most of the people in the town have become the kind of monster you encountered at the beginning, at first we didn't know the name, but then Mo Wensi came, we knew that this is a monster called the living dead. β
"There were few people who were not converted, plus they were caught off guard, and most of them were sacrificed at once, plus there was a sudden attack from Memphis, who suddenly had the strength of the sixth-level peak, and the big guy suffered heavy casualties, and the more than three hundred survivors only survived more than a hundred in the end, if they hadn't retreated into the sewer by luck, I am afraid they would have been completely buried there. β
"Even so, most of the people who survived were injured, if it weren't for the fact that most of the women and children couldn't squeeze into the venue of the sword trial conference, and the slag cakes that were sent down hadn't had time to eat, and when they escaped, they brought some food, supplies and medicines, I'm afraid there would be only a few men left who could fight. β
"Relying on the complexity of the sewers and the desire of the living dead to hunt outsiders, we survived in this sewer, and then waited for the survivors among the outsiders such as Mo Wensi, and the strength improved a lot, so we barely had this survivor camp that survived, but it was just barely surviving. β
probably also saw Mino's dizziness at this time, so the old man also made a long story short, and explained things clearly in two sentences, so that Mino had an intuitive understanding of the current situation, and was no longer as hazy as before. (To be continued.) )
