Chapter 297: Fall (3)
Jaccaris rolled over, and as he spoke, he clung to his dirty, scary blanket and tried to bend himself into a ball and fall asleep. He was so tired that, like most of the citizens of Remut, he could finally sleep peacefully tonight after a tumultuous life that lasted for half a month.
Under the attack of the first living corpses, Jakaris and the remaining 2,000 or so citizens were lucky to escape because they remained in the underground base. In the turmoil that followed, Jakaris also followed Remut's soldiers in a skirmish on the ground. In that battle, Jaccaris lost a right leg, so he had to be fitted with a prosthetic.
But Jaccaris is proud, he has been rolling on the lifeline all his life, selling all his self-esteem just to live. But this time, he fought for his life and honor. Although he lost a leg, he conferred the title of Honorable Citizen on Mr. Theon, the chairman of the union's return, and enjoyed Remut's gratuitous life. It can be said that the second half of Jecaris's life is worry-free, and Remut will raise him, as well as a hundred or so other citizens who have been wounded for this battle.
So in his sleep, Jaczaris's rough old face always smiled from time to time.
Little did he know that in his slumber was a hole in the wall next to his bed, which was slowly melting into a hole. There was a flash of electricity in the hole, but it was the sparks caused by the short circuit caused by the melting of the cables hidden in the walls.
The hole expanded, from the size of a fist to an irregular shape. When the notch was big enough for an adult cat to pass through, a drop of turquoise viscous liquid at the edge of the notch pulled out a thin silk thread, and zuihou dripped onto Jaccaris's nose.
Smoke suddenly rose from Jaccaris's nose, and the skin quickly dissolved, and the cartilage tissue of the nose turned black and then silently dissolved. In just a moment, Jaczaris's nose was almost melted clean by this strong acid!
The pain caused Jaccaris to let out a scream in his dreams, and when he opened his eyes, he saw green smoke rising in front of him and a silent black gap in his wall.
Jacaris jumped out of bed, and through the dark gap, cold, damp air spilled in. He looked at the gap and heard something strange in his ears from the darkness.
Tick tick tick ......
It was like the sound of water droplets hitting the ground, followed by the sound of a beast swallowing saliva. Jacaris finally came to his senses and wanted to turn around and shout. Unexpectedly, he only turned around halfway when several dark shadows popped out of the gap, wrapping around Jaczaris's limbs and mouth. One of the shadows went straight into Jaccaris's mouth, and he could feel the disgusting mucus attached to the object's surface.
And in this way, Jaccaris was completely speechless. He was struggling desperately when a huge force came from behind him, dragging him towards the entrance of the cave. The back of Jecaris's head slammed into the edge of the gap, and he almost fainted in pain. But on the edge of life and death, Jaccaris burst out with an unbelievable will to survive, and he clasped his hands tightly on both sides of the gap to prevent the thing behind him from dragging him away.
Unfortunately, sometimes, things are not transferred by manpower.
For example, fate.
Unbeknownst to Jaccaris, he was already on the Grim Reaper's list tonight. But soon, a claw that pierced through his back and came out of his lower abdomen in front told him of this fact. Jacaris could see clearly that this paw still had bits and pieces of flesh and intestines in his body.
The fire of life was quickly fading, and Jekaris, whose hands and feet had become cold, lost any resistance to Liliang. As soon as his hands loosened, he could only watch as he had been dragged into the darkness. Outside the gap, the yellowish wall lamp in the bedroom faded away from him, and the darkness overwhelmed him, as well as his consciousness.
A moment later, there was a creepy chewing sound in the darkness of the gap.
When the sound stopped, the lurker crawled out of the gap and jumped onto Jaccaris's bed. The Lurker turned his head and let out a high-pitched whistling sound invisible to humans out of the hollow gap. At the same time, four other lurkers appeared at all angles around the edge of the Remut base, emitting the same sound waves.
The sound waves of the Dao quickly spread through the tunnels dug by the lurkers into the wilderness, and swept across the wilderness. So it didn't take long for a ruined building in the distance, and the darkness kept crawling out of every window, and from a distance, it looked like countless cockroaches infested.
It was a living corpse, hundreds or even nearly a thousand living corpses were pouring out. They climbed out of the window, fell to the ground, and followed the whistling sound to drill into the designated passage in five directions. Looking down from the sky, in the night, five undercurrents are pouring into the ground, and eventually they will flow into Remut's underground base.
After the normal living corpses were gone, hundreds of Demolitionists and various numbers of Butchers and Rippers appeared in the darkness. The tall butchers were clearly unfit to pass through the tunnels, so they stood guard at the entrance to the tunnels, allowing the Rippers and Demomen to enter the underground through different passages. When all the living corpses in the wilderness are gone, they run to the wilderness in other directions.
The Fang Xiangshang where the butchers are advancing is the camp where the Asgard army is temporarily stationed!
The electronic clock on the wall jumped to 4:35 a.m. when Theon woke up in his sleep with a sharp gunshot. In a trance, Theon's ears seemed to hear the screams of a woman, and the roar of a man. As Theon's whole body shook violently, Pella's deep and melodious voice sounded in his ears: "Mr. Theon, you must leave immediately." We were attacked!"
For a moment, Theon thought he was in the wilderness. But when he came to his senses, he remembered that he was in the base in Remut.
What will attack the underground base?
"Pella, what's going on?" Theon asked as he put on his clothes.
Outside the window of his apartment, the Remt underground base flashed red warning lights, and a shrill buzz rang out everywhere, filled with gunfire and roars.
Remut has turned into a whirlpool of chaos.
"It's a living corpse!" Pera looked out the window with an anxious expression, "I don't know where these things came from, they have taken over West Street and the trade area, and are advancing in our direction." The Rattlesnake is fully engaged in battle, but our numbers are too small to support it for long. ”
"What about the ground troops, notify them immediately!" Theon roared.
Pera said lightly: "The communication was cut off, and it seems to be the cause of the circuit failure." And now, we don't have an electrician to make repairs, and many people are dead before the battle even begins. ”
Theon gasped.
At this moment, a panicked voice sounded in Pera's contact: "Miss Pera, take Mr. Theon away, we can't hold it anymore, ah......"
The communication ended with a short scream, followed by a chewing sound from the device, which made Theon's scalp tingle.
Expressionless, Perra turned off the liaison and said to Theon, "Let's go, sir, before the situation gets out of hand." ”
Theon nodded, the situation was out of his control. After getting dressed, Theon thought for a moment, pulled out another drawer, and pulled out an old-fashioned revolver. There was only one bullet in the revolver, and Theon would use it to finish himself off if necessary. His nobility does not allow the living corpse to violate!
Pella kicked the door open and escorted Theon out of the apartment. Walking out of the street, the sound suddenly increased tenfold. Theon glanced down the street, only one thought crossed his mind.
Remut is finished!
This city, where all Theon's hopes are pinned, is like a delicate woman's body exposed to the gaze of the mad street. Remut in Theon's eyes was burning, the flames mercilessly stripping the city of its cloak and the buildings and people falling in the flames. Countless living corpses are feasting wildly, chewing on everything in sight.
The Rippers roamed between walls and slabs, using their claws to break through the Rattlesnake forces' defenses.
Zuihou's are the Demoman, and these moving biobombs detonate in key buildings in Remut as if they had received precise information, ruthlessly destroying Theon's decades of hard work.
Remut is finished. Theon said in his heart that just before he fell asleep he saw the hope of the city's existence. But when I wake up, all hope is crumbling, is there anything more cruel than this?
Gunshots rang out in his ears, and in a trance, Theon saw Pera with a gun in each hand, firing wildly on both sides of the street in the direction of the entrance to the base.
The portable automatic machine gun roared in Pera's hands, and the long tongue of fire poured bullets like a rain, as if spewing the dignity of Remut Zuihou, and shattering a living corpse that only appeared in Pera's line of sight.
The bullets cut through the buildings and the living corpses, and Pella spares in her quest to open a path to survival for Theon.
Perhaps, there is hope.
Theon said this in his heart, and his confused eyes gradually became firm.
"Pella, do you still have guns?" yelled Theon.
Pera was silent, but with a shake of her hand, she threw a shotgun behind her back to Theon. As soon as Theon was captured, the roar of a living corpse rang out behind him. He turns, loads, raises his gun, shoots!
The shotgun exploded into a cloud of flames, and in the light of the fire, a living corpse that lunged at Theon exploded from the chest up.
Blood sprayed Theon's face, but Theon felt very happy.
The two of them just walked one after the other, relying on each other to come to the entrance of the base.
The armored gate at the entrance closed silently, the gate that had stopped the living corpses from attacking day and night, but now became the most important level for Remut. Pera pounces on the manual console next to the gate, only to find that Remut's power has been cut off and even the backup power cannot be activated. This makes it unresponsive to any button on the worktop, let alone open the door to escape.
Theon shot another living corpse, and there were already at least dozens of living corpses at the chairman's feet, and Theon's whole body was already stained with the blood of the living corpse, like a demon.
Watching Pera slap the console in vain, Theon showed a wry smile and said, "Forget Pera, it's not bad to be able to die with you." ”
"No!" Pera screamed, and the always calm female bodyguard now burst into tears in her eyes: "You must not be allowed to die here, Mr. Theon, you are the hope of all!"
With that, Pera suddenly ran towards the armored gate.
To Theon's surprise, Pera unexpectedly retracted her right fist and threw a punch with a breath.
The slender fist was wrapped in a faint ripple of energy, and Pera slammed her fist into the floor beneath the door. The alloy floor immediately caved, shattering the electronic circuits in the mezzanine, but more importantly, a gap appeared between the armored gate and the ground.
"Pella, what are you going to do?"
Pera ignored Theon's question, she just put her hands in the gap in the door, her hands clenched suddenly.
"Ahh
But in an instant, the alloy floor under Pella's feet sank, and the beautiful snake spewed blood mist all over her body. It is caused by the pressure on the body that has exceeded the limit of the blood vessels, and the blood vessels have burst. Suddenly, Pera became a bloody man!
"God, what are you going to do? Stop, don't be stupid, you can't hold up the door. Theon shouted nervously.
Pera ignored it, her eyes wide open, her mouth still open and screaming, and her arms gripped the armored door and lifted it up.
There was a sharp grinding sound from the door, and it rose slightly under Pera's desperate force.
With a click, Pera's right leg suddenly fell to his knees on the ground, but the ankle bone was crushed by the huge pressure. But even so, Pera still used her knees as a fulcrum, supporting her body to keep the armored door open.
In the shouting Pera, her thoughts seemed to return to a moment long ago.
One day when she was 15 years old, when Pella was a young girl, she traded her body for food to feed herself and her parents. I remember that after making a deal that day, Pera returned home with expired bread, only to find that her elderly parents had quietly died.
When they died, they were skinny and could hardly find a trace of fat in their bodies, which was caused by the radiation that had drained all the nutrients out of their bodies, and it was also the appearance of all the old people in the settlement when they died.
Pera remembers that her parents' bodies had begun to attract bloodsucking flies. Flies swirled around the corpse, and even after all these years, Pyra seemed to be able to hear the buzzing of flies as they flew that afternoon.
After that, Pera seems to have lost all her survival. It's just that instinct made her not choose to commit suicide, she continued to stay in the settlement, exchanging her ** for resources to survive.
One night, Pera lay numb on a thick plank. On her naked body, there are men who are venting**. The man's whole body was covered in mutant tissue, and even the thing was covered with bumps. It's this filthy thing that keeps coming and going in Pera's body. When the man arrived, a chaotic sound sounded on the settlement ground, and the door was violently kicked open.
Before Pera could figure out what was going on, a squad of soldiers rushed in and they captured the man, but when they saw Pera's porcelain-like body, the soldier's eyes were full of **.
At that time, for Pella, the physical man was just a different face, and she didn't care at all. Just as one of the soldiers gasped for breath to possess her, a boom of gunfire rang out behind them, and the soldier slammed into Pera's bed with a bloody line on his forehead and a look of consternation.
Footsteps rang in Pella's ears, and the next moment she saw Theon.
Theon's gaze also fell on her, but it didn't show like the others. He just looked at Pera quietly and asked, "Do you want to get out of hell?"
"I can give you hope!"
Pella's dead eyes were stirred up a little by Theon's words.
That same night, Pera arrived at Remut with Theon's departure and all the slaves captured in the settlement. Remut was still under construction, but Theon told Pera and many others about his vision.
It was the city that everyone on the settlement had hoped for, a city of hope!
Pera stayed in Remtri, where she found a reason to survive.
Live for yourself!
That's what Theon said to her, and 15-year-old Pera joined Remut's boot camp.
At the age of 16, he became a sheriff.
At the age of 17, she joined Theon's newly formed Rattlesnake Force, and in the same year, she became the leader of the Rattlesnake and Theon's personal bodyguard.
"Pera, live......" The words of the year seem to still linger in my ears and linger.
"Live!" Pera closed her eyes and shouted as hard as she could, "Mr. Theon, you want to live!"
Theon said this to her ten years ago. Ten years later, she gave it back to Theon.
In Theon's incredulous eyes, the armored gate actually raised a gap of about 30 centimeters under Pera's delicate body. Pera pressed her shoulder against the door and looked back at Theon.
She didn't have the strength to speak.
But Theon read everything.
Come on!
Theon didn't hesitate, he ran to the gate and rolled out of the gap.
Behind the door was the cold air peculiar to the wilderness, and Theon perked up, turned back to Pera and said, "Come out, we're ......"
Theon's voice stopped abruptly, and a mist welled up in his eyes.
Under the armored door, Pera was still half-kneeling. Her eyes were wide open, and she still maintained the posture of carrying the door. But under her nostrils, there were two thin lines of blood that flowed endlessly.
And her chest had stopped heaving.
Pera was dead, and by the time she lifted the door, the pressure in her body had shattered all her internal organs. To pull up a gate weighing dozens of tons, only those who have strengthened the ability to reach the fifth order or higher can do it. But Pera did it with a two-order ability, and the price was to die on the spot.
Theon reached out to touch Pera's face again.
But the door fell suddenly, brutally crushing the once beautiful face. Looking at the blood gradually flowing from the ground, Theon, who thought he had been hardened as iron, cried like a child.
It turns out that the heart hurts so much when you lose your beloved!
