Chapter 23 Bring a knife without an umbrella on a rainy night
Ingrid Hanigan is a liaison to the U.S. Field Operations Support Division, specializing in intrusion into various security systems and handling mission-related intelligence.
Five minutes ago, she sent a coordinate to Leon.
He was told that he would need to take Ashley through the village to a farm in the northwest direction, and then follow the farm path north until he reached the evacuation site.
The person who answered them would be waiting there.
However, as soon as possible, the weather is getting worse and worse, and both communication equipment and evacuation lines will be affected.
Leon is well aware that the evacuation plan has failed, but he must go to the location with Ashley, otherwise the next plot will not be triggered.
And the two of them are now on the edge of the entire village.
The village, though remote, has been around for hundreds of years.
Due to the lack of a unified plan, over the years, hundreds of houses of different shapes and heights are scattered in every corner of the village. Coupled with the messy outbuildings such as barns, barns, and fences, the terrain inside is extremely complex.
Hanigan can only give a general direction, and can't do it like Kaishen Gong.
How to cross the village and reach the next target location is completely up to Leon himself to remember the plot of the game while groping forward little by little.
The rain was getting heavier, and the night sky was obscured by gloomy black clouds, and the light was completely lost.
There was always the sound of the wind whistling in her ears, as if the evil spirits of hell were crying, and Ashley, who was already in shock, was frightened, she covered her ears with one hand, and grabbed the corner of Leon's clothes with the other.
"Leon, let's get out of here quickly, I'm a little scared..."
She was soaking wet and shivering.
But Leon didn't speed up, because the visibility was too poor and the village was uneven, so he wouldn't be affected, but Ashley might not be able to keep up.
And most importantly, on such a rainy night, there are many villagers patrolling!
They all held torches, and the rain poured them down, but they didn't move, and even burned even more vigorously.
Under the light of the dancing fire, the face distorted by the parasite infection became even more ugly.
"Stay here and don't move." Leon told Ashley to hide next to a wooden cart, and he sneaked behind one of the villagers.
The sound of the rain obscured his steps, the cold wind blew away his breath, the moonlight covered by the clouds could not reflect the cold light when he drew his sword, Li Ang was like a shadow, only the snake eyes shone brightly.
There was a slight thump.
The tip of the sword was like a poisonous snake letter rushing out of the hearts of the villagers, he opened his mouth, and let out a weak ho-ho sound, the torch in his hand fell into the mud pit, and the flame shook a few times, burned out, and disappeared gently like his life in this good night.
Leon gently lowered the body down and silently walked towards the next target.
The harsh environment that made it difficult for others to move forward was like a fish in water for him.
A few minutes later, Leon returned to Ashley's side.
At this time, the president's daughter was curled up and squatted in the corner, her two fists clenched in front of her chest, trying to keep her eyes open and look around.
"Don't be afraid, it's me."
In order to appease her, Leon tried to suppress the voice of joy from the killing.
"Why did you come back?" Ashley pounced on her with a crying voice, the feeling of being the only one in the world just now was really very uncomfortable.
Leon tapped her on the back and hid the blood-stained sword behind her back.
"Okay, okay, stop crying."
"I've cleared the way ahead, let's go."
Ashley wiped away tears: "I didn't cry!" ā
Then he carefully checked Li Ang from head to toe to confirm that he was okay before relieving himself.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm afraid you're too impulsive." Ashley silently grabbed Leon's hand: "What are you doing in a daze, let's go?" ā
Li Ang smiled dumbly: "Okay, let's go." ā
The two continued to explore, and the corpses along the road were hidden by Leon, and the blood was washed away by the rain, and Ashley had no idea what had happened here a few minutes ago.
"There is light! To the fore! ā
Ashley pointed excitedly into the distance, she had never hated the darkness as much as she did tonight.
Li Ang hurriedly covered her mouth and stared vigilantly at the dark houses around her: "Shhh, be quiet, most of the villagers are still sleeping, don't wake them up." ā
Ashley shrank her head in fright, but then pushed his hand away, blocking her nose in disgust.
"Bah, it stinks! It's time for you to wash your hands, Leon. ā
Nonsense, where can the hands of the people who have just killed them smell good!
"You're fragrant!" Li Ang replied angrily: "After being in the rain for so long, the whole person is sour, I don't believe you smell it yourself." ā
Ashley looked down suspiciously and sniffed at her clothes, and sure enough, the sour smell on her face almost made her almost lose her head.
It's been a few days since she was caught here, not to mention taking a shower and changing clothes, she hasn't even washed her face.
Let the rain pour like this, plus the body temperature to bake, the body does not smell before there is a ghost!
"Hmm..."Ashley, who was self-conscious, squatted directly on the ground, buried her head in her knees, and let out a sound of shame.
Leon didn't take it seriously at all, normal human reactions, and Ashley's situation was special, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about.
"This shows that we smell the same."
It's okay not to say it, but as soon as she said it, Ashley simply covered her head and cried: "Woo woo, I want to take a bath." ā
Ashley is kind by nature and is very good at thinking about others, but she always comes from a wealthy family and is pampered to grow up, and she has a bit of a big lady's temper.
What's more, for a little girl of her age, it is completely unacceptable to make a fool of herself, especially in front of someone she has a good impression of.
And Leon didn't think about it so much, he just wanted to take her out of here as soon as possible.
"Think about it with your little head a little, where can I find you a bathing place in this wilderness."
"But Iā" Ashley knew she was making trouble, but she just couldn't get over it.
As a result, before he finished speaking, Li Ang suddenly interrupted: "Something is coming!" ā
Ashley's cry seemed to disturb something.
Li Ang immediately picked her up and rushed into an abandoned barn: "Hide, when I call you, you come out again!" ā
Ashley nodded obediently, understanding that now was not the time to be willful.
Then, when Leon left with her sword, she got up stealthily and looked out through the gap in the barn wall.
The two had already touched the heart of the village, where there was an irregular clearing with a bonfire of broken wood and stone in the middle.
There was also a stout stake in the fire, with a corpse tied to it.
It can be seen that it has been burned for a long time, and it has become one with the stake.
Ashley said she saw the light, and that was what she was referring to.
At this moment, a large black figure appeared near the campfire, holding a sledgehammer in his hand, as if searching for something.
The next second, it took a big stride and headed straight for the barn.
"You're special!" As soon as Li Ang wanted to hide and sneak attack, his plan was disrupted, so he had to take the initiative to attack.
