Chapter 581: The Beginning of Turmoil II
In the darkness, there is a fire that shines and extinguishes.
"Throw away the cigarette, Lieutenant Seurat is coming. A bald soldier reminded his companion.
The other fellow who was smoking hurriedly threw the half-smoked cigarette on the ground and stepped on it, carefully threw it back into the pocket of his jacket, and then said bably: "Lieutenant Seurat is too, and he is still so serious in this place where birds don't." Everyone chooses a colonel, and every day they go to the Blood Rose to have fun. I've heard that the bar has been coming to the bar lately, and the Colonel is sucking them up every night."
The two men laughed dryly in the hidden spot, and then there was the sound of footsteps, and they restrained their laughter and looked engrossed. A dark red figure passed by them, dressed in the uniform of a blood rider, and Lieutenant Seurat was in his early thirties. With a solemn expression on his square face, he rigorously patrolled the towering façade of the City of Shadows, a daily lesson he had to do.
From the outposts to the soldiers' equipment, Lieutenant Seurat checked the city's defense system almost daily to make sure it was functioning as usual. Regarding this, even the top boss Du Ze complained that he was a little too stereotyped. Seurat could understand the idea of Ducho, a forty-year-old man. In the old era, it was the most golden period of life, but in the new era, it is already in the twilight stage. That means that Du Ze doesn't have much potential to tap into anymore, both in his own abilities and in the Bloodrider's military system.
Coupled with the transfer to a wilderness city like the Shadow Capital, it can be said that Du Xuan has given up on himself.
However, here it is not just one person who seems to be scattered. Look at the soldiers, they're nowhere near as diligent as they are in the City of Eternal Night. Far from the base of the Dark Council, away from the dangerous battlefields, the soldiers are becoming sluggish, but these are not things that Seurat can change alone. So he just did his duty, did his job well, and hoped that one day he would receive a dispatch order from headquarters.
Facing the wilderness outside the city, Seurat clenched her hands. His battlefield should be in the vast world of the unknown, not in the office of a small city!
"Lieutenant, Lieutenant Seurat. One of the soldiers suddenly shouted, "We've found a suspicious person, could you please come and make sure?"
On the city wall, there are soldiers with searchlights shining under the city wall. In the pillar of light, a man appeared. He wore a long black trench coat that was untied and loosely open on the sides, revealing his muscular chest. He wears a pair of trousers and zuihou in military boots. The man's face was hidden in the hat of his trench coat, and only one chin could be seen in the light.
Seurat came to the lamp, and more and more people appeared in the light. When the other searchlights on the left and right flickered, there were at least a few hundred people walking towards the City of Shadows. There were men and women, all of them wearing the same trench coats, and they were mechanical and uniform, almost like a small army.
"Stop!" shouted Seurat, her voice drifting out of the city in the wind: "I order you to stop! No outsiders are allowed to enter the city now, and if you want to enter the city, you will have to wait until tomorrow to pay the entrance fee." You're all but outside tonight, do you understand?"
Obviously, these people didn't understand, because their pace never stopped at all. There was no response, and Seurat's heart was uneasy, and he snatched the rifle from the soldier next to him and fired at the ground below the city for a while, and then said, "I told you to stop." If you don't accept this suggestion, we won't have a second reminder!"
As if the strafing was a warning, the man at the front stopped. Then he slowly raised his head, his face was not really visible in the light, but he could see him raise his arm and swing it forward.
This is the signal to attack!
", fire!" seurat yelled.
So all the firing points on the city wall were activated, and the machine guns were condescending, intersecting into a dense network of fire that swept over these people. Like a straw, the strangers swept the machine guns backwards and then fell to the ground in droves. By the time all the gunfire had stopped, hundreds of corpses were lying on the ground outside the city.
"Sir, this is" The soldier next to him looked at Seurat with a puzzled expression.
Seurat herself felt weird, it was obviously a signal to attack, but these people killed them all without even reacting, as if they had sent them to the door to feed their guns. Instead of being dissipated by the lying down of these people, the uneasiness in Khashura's heart grew more and more solemn.
At that moment, a soldier shouted: "Look, they are moving again!"
There was a strange scene under the light, and the people who had just been killed got up from the ground one after another. Seurat's pupils narrowed, and she yelled, "Shred them! These guys are living corpses!"
Indeed, only living corpses can ignore the damage of bullets, and unless their heads are blown off, these soulless corpses will never stop!
However, the group of creatures that appeared to be living corpses under the city no longer stood stupidly and let the Shadow City attack at will, they suddenly dispersed, rolling towards the Shadow City like a large black wave. The bullets pierced through the edges, but the reaction of the soldiers clearly could not keep up with the speed of those men, so the line of fire was mostly missed. Occasionally, I shot at them, but I saw these guys protecting their heads, and the rest of the parts were left alone.
Only rapid-fire heavy artillery can inflict lethal damage on them, but unfortunately there are only two of these heavy fire weapons, and Seurat begins to regret not applying for more heavy weapons from headquarters, and now can only fight with soldiers and machine guns alone. He couldn't blame him, after all, the Shadow City was not a major city, and it had never appeared in the Dark Council's strategic situational map. Will there be a Colonel of the Blood Horse, a lieutenant, and three hundred soldiers because the Shadow Capital pays enough to the Dark Council, otherwise the Dark Council will have an army here.
Under the city, the black wave has swept up to the wall and hit the black waves. Men in black trench coats climbed up the walls or rocks on either side of the walls with their bare hands, and their speed was so fast that Seurat was sluggish to the self-imposed defenses. But in the blink of an eye, these guys have climbed the city wall!
"Damn, fight, tell Colonel Ducho and sound the alarm!" Seurat roared repeatedly, his hands shaking as blue and purple electric snakes swirled around his hands.
He walked towards a man in black who had fallen nearby, and with a wave of his hand, a flash of lightning struck the man, catapulting him into the corner. This was followed by a series of electric arrows, which turned his head into charcoal.
However, the others are not as strong as Seurat, they are just ordinary soldiers, and they don't even have the most basic ability enhancement. When the black army poured up the wall, the soldiers found that their guns had become decorations. These nimble creatures dodged their ballistics at will, and then shot the soldiers with their bare hands as soon as they approached.
For a moment, the wall was in a mess. From time to time, there were screams from soldiers, who had their hearts gouged out or their heads separated from their bodies. There was no shortage of those who were thrown off the city wall and fell to their deaths, and the gunners of the two heavy guns were still shooting desperately, trying to stop more monsters from coming up from under the city walls, but they were also quickly killed, and the barrel of one of the heavy guns was even bent and then jammed and exploded!
Sirens and explosions resounded throughout the shadow city, and the sleeping people were awakened, and some citizens walked out of their houses in a daze, and saw a dazzling fire rising from the direction of the city walls. Before he knew what was happening, his eyes suddenly went dark, and then he lost all consciousness, but it was those in black uniforms who had already begun to kill in the city.
These people are also merciless in the face of unarmed ordinary people, harvesting their lives like a god of death. They are like black demons who kill people when they see them, and some even break into people's houses and mercilessly divide the bodies of those who are still asleep. But they have a decisive difference from living corpses, that is, they only kill people, not eat people!
Wherever the black tide passed, there were screams and flames. Looking down from the city walls, the city has begun to burn, starting from the streets close to the city walls, and constantly spreading towards the inner city.
Seurat was trembling with rage, his hands were still wrapped around the electric light, and there were already dozens of corpses at his feet!
At this moment, the wind was howling, and the hairs on Seurat's whole body stood on end, which was a sign of extreme danger! He turned around in an instant, and a tall figure fell in front of him, shaking the city wall slightly.
The same big man wearing a black trench coat and nearly three meters tall gave Seurat a huge sense of oppression. The man's right hand was clearly modified to be a long, ground-length mechanical arm. The mechanical arm, made of steel sheets and willow nails, has several exhaust holes left in the shoulders, and scorching steam is spewing out from these small holes from time to time, thus forming several columns of smoke on the giant's head.
Seurat roared, his hands full of electric snakes and slammed them on the giant's body. Immediately, the electric snake spread, enough to wrap the high-voltage current of an elephant to death instantly, and the other party seemed to be unaware. A cruel smile came out of the mouth under the hood, and the moment the mechanical arm was suddenly raised, a strong wind blew the hood on the man's head, revealing a bare head. Seurat saw that this person was no different from an ordinary human, except that the eyes were embedded with the color of ink, and the black pupils were filled with bright red rings, and the original place of the eyeballs was replaced by a gray light like a grain of rice.
It's a pair of demonic eyes.
And with the authority of Esura, he didn't know that these demonic eyes were the hallmark of the Discord!
