Volume IV The Rule of Chaos 143 Human Nature
There is a word called ...... "worrying".
I've never been sure if I'm a "worrying" person.
Possible...... I'm kind of a pessimist.
I've always been preparing for failure and death.
Yes. When I was younger, I saw too much death and felt what it means to lose. Even when I was a child, my thoughts about what to do in the future were how to choose a job that might never be unemployed.
So I developed a habit that I can't help but think about it when I need to make a choice, no matter how big or small...... What happens if I fail, and what happens if I don't choose that way, choose another.
Some people say it's called choice difficulty, perhaps.
On top of that, I always think about people close to me.
It should be called an afterthought.
It's not that I'm expecting them to die, I'm just preparing, ready to lose at any moment. I'm prepared that when I lose maybe I'll be less upset, I'll take it easy, or...... I was able to deal with it with a more natural expression.
It sometimes makes me feel divided, but I can't help but not let myself think like that.
Including this time.
When I rushed into the dark alley, I had already imagined what might happen. Although they were all blurry images and images, I told myself that this was the best protection for myself in the face of the unknown.
It's just that this fleeting picture will not be that sweet and warm anyway. I wasn't hoping for anyone to die, and I didn't want to know what the effects would be if he did, but the realization that I knew everything would still pass by, and I knew that Arthas couldn't die.
There was a roar in the alley, a sound that was not normal at all, and the sound all around me made it impossible for me to tell where the prince was.
Just then a man rushed towards us from the darkness, and when I could see the bloodied face illuminated by the torch, it was as if the guy had just come from hell.
"Stop!" I immediately shouted. I can't tell if it's a human or a mutated walking corpse.
My drink didn't help, and the guy was rushing forward in the blink of an eye. The paladin who took the initiative to guide me just now reacted really quickly, and he drew his sword and slashed directly at the guy's head.
It is said that hitting people does not slap each other in the face, but it is just an ordinary mutual assault, and the best way on the battlefield is to do everything possible to greet each other on the head. The guy who was cut off in the head in an instant fell. Except for the distant roar, the alley suddenly fell silent, but the silence made me a little creepy.
I'm guessing if there's another one to break out of that dark alley...... Or a group. After being stunned for two seconds, I said, "We have to withdraw!" ”
I was just as I finished speaking, and just as I finished speaking, I heard footsteps in the depths of the alley, but those staggering footsteps told me that danger was approaching!
When a figure appeared again in the area illuminated by the fire, the walking corpses that emerged immediately after it swooped down on us, the feeling was not the same as the orcs charging at us, the posture of those things was not to kill us, but like the excitement of a person who has been hungry for a long time to see food, and the desire to breathe of a person who is starved of oxygen.
Right...... It's the desire!
The two paladins showed what they were supposed to be! It's also one of the few times I've had a crush on a paladin.
The golden glow that burst from their bodies lit up the entire alley, and I could see what was happening in front of me. And the way the alleys packed and rushed towards us, I only felt my scalp tingle when I looked at it.
The golden light was dazzling, but I didn't think the two of them would be able to withstand the zombies just by shining that light. "Retreat!" I yelled and turned around and ran.
Yes, I just turned around and ran, at this time, there is no gentleness and frugality, escape! It's just to escape!
The radiance emitted by the paladin has reduced the running speed of those guys to a certain extent, but in the face of this kind of monster that I don't know if there are still brains, I play with them to find death! And Alsace ...... Apparently looking for death!
I slapped the horse's buttocks, and the horse ran away, and I could only wish it peace.
Rush out of this alley and turn towards the alley next to it, which feels a little safer. The golden glow on these two guys helped a lot, at least I didn't trip over the corpses on the ground.
Listening to the footsteps behind me disappear, I felt as if I had thrown them off, so I stepped on the wooden box in the alley and climbed directly onto the roof, I don't know why, this place at this time gave me an unexpected sense of security.
I got goosebumps as I stood on the roof and looked around, the dark city was so strangely set off by some fires that it was a breath of death, not to mention whether Arthas would survive or not if he would be a complete corpse when he was found.
I dragged the two of them to the roof, and they were stunned when they saw this.
"Tonight...... It doesn't matter if the prince lives or not...... I hope all three of us are alive in the end. I said it softly. I didn't look back at the expressions of the two men, and they didn't squeak.
"Those people...... What's wrong? One of them asked.
"They're all crazy...... Still ...... Cursed? The guy who led the way just now said.
"What's your name?" I turned to him and asked.
"Lenid, sir, my name is Lenid Barsalome." He said.
I looked at him, "I hope I'll remember your name when we get out of here." What about you? I said to the young man next to me.
"Segard." He said.
"Segard, Lenid. All right...... Well! I said. Actually, I don't really want to explain to them what happened to those people, "It's better not to let them get caught, bitten or uh...... Be careful. ”
The three of us shouted loudly over the rooftops of the house, but there was no response until a heart-rending cry from the alley not far away caught our attention. This voice is too miserable!
Segard shouted in that direction, he raised his sword in his hand, and the light from the blade of the sword lit up the surroundings, "We have to go down from here!" I can't get over here! ”
Because we couldn't get through it directly, we had to jump off the house and go around. But the cry of the child in front of me made me panic a little.
There was a fire in front, the cries of the women, the cries of the children made my scalp explode. But when we rushed over, I was shocked by the sight of not only the houses on fire, but also the people in the houses!
I rushed up and tried to kick the door, but was stopped by several soldiers, who shouted at me, "Don't open it!" ”
I was stunned for a moment, and the people in the house put their hands through the cracks between the planks, and their supplicants cried out that I wanted me to save their lives.
Especially when I saw that there was still a child, I kicked and broke the wooden board that sealed the door.
"You're crazy!" Soldiers ran towards me.
I ignored them and chose to keep breaking down the door until they rushed up to me and someone pulled me away, "What are you doing!" ”
"There's a living person inside!" I rebuked.
"What the hell don't I know there's a living person in there?" He stared at me and yelled.
"And the kids!"
"The Prince's order! All those who are infected will be put to death and burned! ”
"How do you know they're infected!"
"Get out!" The guy didn't explain it to me.
Lenid and Segard came up to separate the two of us, "Take it apart and save people!" I shouted.
"Who are you! You dare to disobey! The man drew his sword directly.
"Where's Artace!" I'm angry too.
"If you don't want to obey orders, you'd better find a place to hide, and if you dare to make trouble, I'll kill you immediately!" The guy said viciously.
I flew up and kicked the man to the ground, and all of his companions pulled their swords out.
"You go, you don't need to care about it here, they will die or live in the end, but it shouldn't end up like this!" I say. But before my words could fall, I heard an even more miserable cry from the house, an exclamation.
The woman in the house screamed like crazy, but the sealed door left her with her hands scratching frantically, her throat screaming for help.
I immediately turned around and reached for the door, only to see a mutated walking corpse in the house, and the woman was struggling desperately, she wanted to come out. But the walking corpse had already pounced on the woman.
I hesitated when I saw this. The woman begged for help like crazy, and I wanted to reach out to save her, but ......
"Save my child! Save my child...... Save ......" The woman supported her back to give the child in her arms a little space, and she fought for the child's chance to survive, as the child's cry tore at my nerves.
I drew my sword and stabbed it straight into the gap between the planks, and I stabbed the walking corpse, but it wasn't fatal. I wanted to stab it to death, but I couldn't.
I drew my sword and slammed the wooden door, and when I slashed off the head of the walking corpse, the woman was dying. I don't know if the head belongs to her husband...... This question is no longer meaningful.
The men looked at me with their swords in hand, and as I removed the remaining planks, the woman threw herself to the ground, struggling to her feet and pushing the child out of her arms. Then she threw herself on the ground.
Her back had been torn apart by the walking corpse she had just had. Looking at the crying child on the ground, I reached out and picked her up. The crowd exclaimed. I looked back at them with my crying child in my arms and said, "This is absolutely not going to work." But their eyes were complicated.
"This child's life is in my hands." I said, uncloaking the cloak, and sucking the child around my chest.
"What if the kid is infected......" Lenid's words were full of concern. This is the first person in a long time who can express concern about me.
"I'll stay away from you." I say.
"I didn't mean that......" he whispered.
The woman probably won't survive, so I lifted my sword and plunged it into the back of her neck. "She doesn't deserve to be humiliated again."
