Chapter 36: To the Royal City
Ethan is here.
It's like a lonely ship adrift on the Black Sea, and finally meets a companion who can lend a hand.
Along the way, he could also perceive something, and without too many words, Jiang Chenchuan told him about the current tricky situation.
After listening to the silence for a long time, Ethan raised his head and said:
"In other words, our recycling object is in the royal city."
"So to speak."
Jiang Chenchuan nodded.
"Then you say, the old man you met in the Conjuretor's Guild......
"I don't know, he seems to have something to say to me, but the situation at that time ...... It's really inconvenient."
The mystery left in the Conjurer's Guild can only be planned after everything is over.
Ethan stood by the window, and from time to time he could see an infected person passing by the street below, his strange body close to overdraft, and it wouldn't be long before he died of exhaustion like Skiopa.
The lives of all infected people are limited, and it's like turning on a countdown device, just waiting for the moment when the clock goes to zero.
If they had arrived any later, they would have faced a city of death full of infected bones.
And how should those who survive the higher-level infections and survivors get along?
"Let's go, meet up with Yulia Decavo first."
Ethan turned around and beckoned, ready to leave, so as soon as he said a word to Da Silva, the two of them left Da Silva's safe house.
Blood dripped down the cracks, soaking the walls and staining the land of despair.
Screams can be heard not far away, and they can be seen everywhere in Ronalk City, all of them are the survivors of the defeat, and the infected have found their whereabouts.
It used to be more frequent, but now it is more stable, only occasional mistakes and accidents will happen, Jiang Chenchuan and Ethan were in the dark, and saw a group of infected people pounce on them and eat the poor human being.
They are no longer interested in infection, and only this pure killing can temporarily arouse them.
When chaos has become the norm, no one cares about the rules that are made, they are not afraid of the passage of life, and when they die, the infected people scatter in a hurry.
The man's chest was still heaving slightly, and only his last breath was left, but his lower body was already a few meters away.
"We're too late, we can't be saved."
Looking at the tragic situation at the scene, Ethan said slowly.
"Let's go, where's Yulia?"
For every second they delayed outside, Yulia became more dangerous, and looked up at the bloody and dark city, the chaotic buildings spread to the end, and looked ahead, the tallest gorgeous building was the so-called "King's Domain".
"Go here."
Ethan commanded.
It didn't take long for them to come to a hidden place, and Yulia was hiding in it, and there was no light, so it was really impossible to find it.
"Mr. Ewell!"
The voice sounded in the dark, looking in the direction of the sound, Yulia was waiting for them, and after a smooth convergence, Jiang Chenchuan explained to her the current situation in Ronalk City.
Originally, it was planned for Yulia to go to Da Silva's house for a while, but Yulia decisively refused.
"No, I'm a museum worker, and it's my job to recover relics."
Yulia said firmly.
Jiang Chenchuan and Ethan glanced at each other, and after a brief exchange, they decided to let Yulia join the operation.
"But maybe...... I won't have a chance to protect you, Yulia, and remember that no matter what, you're going to leave Ronalk alive."
In the end, I could only explain helplessly.
Faint flames danced in the darkness, light gray smoke blended into the night, and the occasional figure that flashed in the street soon disappeared again.
Tonight's
There were no dark clouds in the sky, and the stars twinkled in the darkness, exuding a faint brilliance, embellished with the cold winter.
The night in Ronalque City is silent, but not completely silent, and every now and then the sound will make every normal person tremble with fear.
When the sound died down and it was suffocatingly quiet, Yulia could hear Jiang Chenchuan's steady breathing in the darkness, but they were constantly approaching the royal city.
According to the map and Jiang Chenchuan's familiarity with it, he could probably arrive at dawn.
In order to attract the attention of the inhabited, they can communicate without talking without speaking, and the silence along the way makes the tacit understanding between the three gradually increase, and basically as long as they gesture, they can roughly understand what the other party means.
The icy air invaded, but they didn't feel cold at all, and the closer they got to the royal city, the more they could feel an invisible pressure pressing on them.
Looking up, the tall building was pitch black, with no light, and even Ethan wondered if there were any infected people living there.
"God...... I guess I don't need light."
Yulia could only guess so.
Everyone's hearts don't know what kind of creature the "evil god" in Dasilva's mouth will be.
It was an unpremeditated operation, but fortunately, there were no direct confrontations with the infected along the way, probably due to fear, and the closer you got to the location of the royal city, the fewer infected people were active.
Therefore, if any soldier infected person was sent by the nobles to act, it was all a rumor, there was no nobleman control, and the royal city was filled with a dark aura from the abyss, which made Yulia shudder.
"Wait."
Ethan, who was opening the way at the front, suddenly squatted down, and Yulia in the back naturally didn't dare to act rashly.
Looking at the road ahead, there seemed to be a figure standing in the darkness, and when I looked at it from a distance, the figure was still wearing armor, with some metallic reflections, and the skin exposed between the gaps did not seem to be normal people.
"Infected?"
"Those tall soldiers?"
The three of them spoke in almost inaudible voices, but none of them came up with an answer.
The voice just stood there, motionless, and in front of him was the royal city, like a mighty and tall guard.
"No, it looks like it's dead."
After squinting and observing for a while, Ethan said slowly.
"Dead?"
Jiang Chenchuan frowned slightly, he didn't know why, he could feel a chill surging out of the royal city from time to time.
"Just check it out."
Bold as Ethan, he comforted his companions, and secretly approached alone, Yulia held her breath nervously, and Jiang Chenchuan patted her shoulder to comfort.
Ethan's figure moved in the darkness, and it wasn't long before he was seen coming back from a distance touching the stone wall.
"How?"
Yulia asked with concern.
"It's dead, it's a strange death."
