Chapter 17: Seeing Ran Bing outside the Golden Hall, endless spreading fear.
Ran Bing was rejected, the Golden Hall, the imprisoned people
γSky Farmγ
[Source: This was originally the airlet area of the Aerial Prison of Tartaros, the predecessor of the lighthouse, and was later transformed into a lighthouse agricultural area, providing fresh vegetables, fruits, beef, milk and other food for all the lighthouse residents. γ
[Since soil cultivation techniques were largely abandoned before the cataclysm, the lighthouse's self-production of food relied entirely on soilless cultivation in the inner area of the center, while the outer soil area was used as a livestock zone, open at noon and night1 for the cattle to feed.] γ
[In normal times, only the core management and the Ministry of Agriculture are allowed to enter here, and the dust people are only allowed to enter the ceremony on the day of the flower burial to bid farewell to those who died in the battle and were brought back to their bodies.] γ
Crimson clouds fluttered in the sky, and the golden-purple sun shone gently and peacefully through the clouds, shining gently and peacefully on the lighthouse, and the plants were thriving in the sky.
At this time, it has been a day since the failure of the encirclement and suppression. Mark, who was originally doing routine training at the Hunter Training Ground, rushed here when he received Ran Bing's message.
The greenery is verdant, the unknown small flowers, colorful and random grow in the corners and corners, the breeze blows, and the fresh air is mixed with sweet and elegant fragrance.
And Ran Bing stood under a big tree in the middle of the farm with a melancholy look on his back.
"How's your recovery?"
When Ran Bing saw Mark, he immediately restrained his expression and showed a very happy look.
"When you saw me injured, I didn't get better the next day."
Ran Bing glanced up at Mark, and after he wanted to speak, the two walked side by side, walking aimlessly along the path of the farm.
The sun is dappled and golden, as if everything is going to be beautiful.
"By the way, you said that if one day, we can really go back to the surface to live, ......" Ran Bing glanced back at Mark, and immediately turned his head to the side, and then asked yearningly: "You...... What's the plan? β
Mark's face was stunned, his eyes were complicated, he looked at Ran Bing, who was moving his head to the side, and hesitated for a moment:
"It's too early to say that, but first we need to figure out what Twilight used to get along with the Eaters, and what Charles used to hide himself from the Eaters. Then ......"
Ran Bing then raised his head and looked at Mark wistfully: "I heard that people in the old world used to form families. β
"Huh?"
Seeing that Mark didn't answer or speak, Ran Bing couldn't help but lean over and ask.
"Who will you be with when you ......?"
"Where did you hear that!"
"Who will you be with?"
"I've never thought about these things!"
"I've thought about !!"
"And you!"
Abrupt clouds and mist cover the sun, wind, clouds, fog, thunder are everywhere, and heavy rain is coming!
The bright sunlight quickly dimmed, and everything seemed to be shrouded in a world full of dead air, and everything just now was lovely, and the living beings seemed to be just a dream.
"In the future, don't say these words again!"
With these words, Mark turned and walked outside without the slightest hesitation.
"Why?"
"It's an order!"
"Really?"
Then Ran Bing held back the tears in his eyes and trotted after him.
"Is this an order from the Commander of the Wilderness Hunters, or an order from the future City Lord?"
"An order is an order! All the hunter has to do is obey! β
What happened to his sister (1), Mark does not allow it to happen to Ran Bing again, absolutely not, while the worst has not happened now, everything is still in time, so as long as he is resolute......
"In your eyes, I..., I'm just a hunter......"
"Isn't it?!"
"Have you run out of Eaters?"
"Is the ground safe?"
"The corpses of the Hunters, have you counted them?!"
The wind howled, and a gray-white mist gradually shrouded the lifeless land.
"I'm ......, I'm going to the Hall of Dawn......"
"Just tonight..."
"That's the order I'm going to obey, do you want me to finish it?"
As Ran Bing asked, the world fell into a dead silence.
I hope, I certainly don't, but ......
Just as Ran Bing was waiting for an answer and Mark was hesitating, they suddenly heard a faint cry for help......
"Help, help, is there anyone......"
It was the voice of an adult man, with tears and desperation in his words, as if he had faced something extremely terrifying.
At this moment, as the instinct of the guardians of the human race, the two immediately glanced at each other, frowning and rushing in the direction from which the voice came.
At this moment, the two seem to have become partners who cooperate seamlessly and have an incomparably tacit understanding.
"Except for the core personnel and senior management of the lighthouse, it is not open to the public at such an ordinary time. How can there be a cry for help? β
"Listening to the sound, it's really a cattle farm, maybe the handler was locked in by accident, right?!"
Mark hesitated, and judging by what he heard, it didn't seem that simple.
As Mark and Ran Bing walked into the farm, the sound was gone.
"This..."
Ran Bing glanced at Mark, the matter was too bizarre, which made her think of the large-scale disappearance of the population that happened not long ago, and when she was encircling and suppressing Twilight on the ground, she accidentally encountered a large number of zombies, causing great casualties and losses to the hunters and the lighthouse.
This operation can basically be regarded as the worst in the history of the Hunter's ground operations.
The source of the zombies seems to be the missing dusters, but this incident is so weird and bizarre that the survivors are silent when they return to the lighthouse.
Oh no, how did you bring Mark in? In just a moment, this group of untouchables will really be demons.
What to do, although I broke the neck of the duster who was crying for help as soon as I found out, it was too late......
What should I do, if these people are discovered, the head of the guild will definitely kill me.
Shangmin Saige couldn't help but think of the terrifying scene when he had spied on the cultivation of the head of the society, and suddenly his legs went limp, and his soul felt tremors.
No, the matter here must not be known by Mark and Ran Bing, otherwise no matter where he escapes, he will be sucked into the soul of the head of the guild and used as nourishment for planting flowers.
But what should I do, I can't beat Mark and Ran Bing......
At this time, Mark and Ran Bing, who were already suspicious and speculative, were already standing outside the cowshed.
What to do? What to do?
Segan's heart was beating violently, like a burglar, only to find himself blocked at the door by the owner of the room.
Why don't you ...... and run away?
Saige looked at a small cowshed at the end, although he didn't know exactly what was there, but he had seen the leader drive a group of people and disappear into the cowshed.
At the moment when Mark and Ran Bing opened the cowshed and walked in, a black feeling disappeared in the cowshed at the very end.
"This ......"
"It's Captain Mark! Captain Mark has come to our rescue! β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
As Mark continues to discover places on the lighthouse where the dust and the people are imprisoned, those who survived the siege also begin to tell about the horrific zombies they have seen and experienced.
A huge panic swept through the lighthouse overnight like a hurricane.
Morgan, who heard the news, urgently summoned the upper management of the lighthouse to conduct an unprecedented all-staff investigation, but found nothing. γ
However, the number of missing people continued to be reported from the districts to the upper floors of the lighthouse, and the horror continued to spread.
Originally planned projects, such as the reproduction of the Hall of Dawn, have also been put on hold.
It is said that Saige, who escaped from the cowshed, would not believe that it was a teleportation circle, and even less believe the person he saw in front of him!
"What the hell is wrong with this world?"
Saige couldn't help but ask.
