Chapter Ninety-Nine: Decisions within the Line of Defense
Another three days passed.
Inside the defensive line, there was a gloomy fog.
The streets that used to be very bustling have already been full of garbage because no one has taken care of them for many days.
Standing at the intersection of the street with the bow and arrow in his hand, he looked not far away from the monster that looked like a stitching monster, his body was covered with all kinds of strange objects, and he was roaring wildly with a big mouth, trying to pounce on the monsters of the soldiers around him.
Alison didn't hesitate, and the longbow in her hand directly shot several arrows one after another, piercing the opponent's head and limbs, and then watched with a serious face as the opponent's life breath continued to weaken.
until there is no movement altogether.
Then he ordered the soldiers beside him: "It's all burned, and don't leave a single remnant." ”
The other party hurriedly replied: "Yes!"
After sighing slightly in her heart, she didn't say more, put away the weapon in her hand and hurried to the next place.
These days, this has happened an unknown number of times.
This line of defense, unconsciously, has become a dangerous area.
Even more dangerous than many forests full of magical beasts!
The plague has transformed into a chaotic array of monsters and mutated poisonous insects, like the deadliest killers!
Ordinary people will have a life and death crisis if they are not careful.
And the powerhouses, including many legend-level and demigod-level, the main task now is to clean up those dangerous guys over and over again, and maintain order within the defense line to the greatest extent.
Even if the order seems fragile!
It is precisely because of their efforts that the military and civilians inside this line of defense have the confidence to continue to persevere.
Otherwise, morale and popular sentiment would have collapsed completely......
However, even with such efforts, she could clearly feel that the inside of the defense line was now terminally ill and was rapidly declining at a speed visible to the naked eye.
'Can't save ......'
Although she is still trying to maintain it, she knows this very clearly in her heart.
Thinking back to the meeting not long ago, Alison's hand holding the bow and arrow couldn't help but push harder.
--------
Not so long ago, in another emergency meeting within the defense line.
Henry, who looked a little tired, said the facts to the senior members of the defense line who were all roughly visible:
This line of defense should not last long.
So I've told the countries behind the line to hurry up and build temporary fortifications, and all we can do on that premise is to stall for time......
And then there are the inhabitants of the city.
Although most of them are still alive, at least a third of the population is infected, according to a sample survey...... And this is still the premise that there are still many plagues that cannot be detected for the time being, and the real number of infections may be more than this data.
These people are slowly turning into uncontrollable monsters......'
Although he didn't say the rest of his words directly, the presence there also understood what he meant.
The inhabitants of the defenses, who were supposed to be guarded by them, have now become one of their biggest troubles and are about to spiral out of control......
Faced with this situation, they have only one choice.
And that situation is the worst and worst case scenario for them.
So for a moment everyone fell silent, and even the sound of breathing disappeared into the conference room.
“...... I see what you mean. ”
After a period of silence, a demigod of the orc clan sighed slowly and took the initiative to speak, "Since sacrifice is unavoidable, then I hope to preserve at least some dignity from them. ”
Unlike those who are relatively young.
He has survived for tens of thousands of years, even older than some gods, and this is not the first time he has experienced a similar situation.
Although I still feel pain and self-blame, I still feel deep helplessness......
After he finished speaking, another human demigod also spoke up in agreement.
Everyone, admit it or not, knew very well what would happen if the infected in the line of defense flowed to the rear.
That would undoubtedly amplify the disaster even further!
So at this time, someone has to stand up and agree with Henry Moore's proposal.
It doesn't matter if it's cruel or not.
Although I am sorry for the inhabitants of the defensive line, it is a choice that must be made.
Not only him, but in the following time, many demigods also nodded in agreement with Henry Moore's decision.
Whether they want to or not, as one of the highest decision-makers in this place, they have to stand up and make what they think is the right choice at this moment.
As for their decision, Alison wanted to oppose it, but she also knew that it was the right way to deal with it.
After his expression changed for a while, he could only bite his lip and sit in his place, silent.
Their decision was acquiesced.
She herself knew that her actions were extremely ridiculous.
Because the so-called acquiescence, in the final analysis, is no different from loud consent, it all represents consent.
There is no way to make yourself noble.
On the contrary, it will look a little cowardly!
It made her feel a sense of shame from within......
Soon after, it was not only this proposal that was adopted by a vote of 57 in favor and 11 abstentions.
There is also a proposal called "Observing the Plague", which was also successfully passed with 41 votes in favor and 27 abstentions.
[Observe the plague: Take advantage of the outbreak period of the plague in the defense line and the large number of various diseases, observe and record the characteristics of these plagues as much as possible, and deploy various drugs to conduct targeted experiments at any cost, so as to provide more information for the future research of medical drugs and avoid the recurrence of the tragedy. 】
This means that they have not only decided to abandon these residents, but are also trying to find a way to make them bloom to the last of their value.
It's a bit excessive, but this matter has nothing to do with cruelty, it's just a decision that the superiors should have.
-------
Polluted land.
It's still in the quiet crypt.
In front of Olga was still the projection of the spell.
It's just that he is holding something similar to a handle in his hand, and the pursuit team shown in the projection has only four or five people left at this moment, and they all look very embarrassed, obviously exhausted.
At this moment, they are still being hunted down by a large group of monsters.
The battle has been going on for days.
Orga was satisfied, and they were crippled, and dead.
Looking at the demon with several steel needles stuck in his head in front of him, his eyes were very dull, and the captain of the team was extremely aggrieved in his heart.
This is already the twentieth.
He hadn't paid much attention to the previous few times, only thinking that a few opponents were particularly tricky occasionally, but as the controlled guys died one after another, he still found the problem.
Knowing that there is a being controlling these puppets to delay himself, he is constantly entangled with the monster swarm behind him, and he is never able to get rid of it.
It is precisely for this reason that they should have escaped a long time ago have suffered such heavy losses.
Now.
In the interior of this polluted land, those monsters were far stronger than when they attacked and released due to the attenuation of the world's suppressive power.
Under the manipulation of Orga, this puppet has exerted a super-level combat effectiveness.
All kinds of exquisite combat skills are constantly used, and the opponent is in a hurry.
It can be said that if it weren't for the equipment against monsters that he carried with him, the other party would have lost.
At this moment, the leader of the team suddenly heard several familiar screams around him.
Turning his head to look over, he found that his few remaining teammates were in a desperate situation, and it looked like they were going to die at any moment.
After shaking the handshake, the teleportation prop is still disturbed and cannot play a role.
Looking at the monsters that were gathering around him, he knew he was about to step in the footsteps of his teammates.
Without any hesitation, he directly took out a small black square.
It was intended to be a last resort for Orgar, but now it seems that it will not be used if it is not used again.
glared viciously at the puppet queen manipulated by Orgar.
In the midst of his unwilling resentment, a black light was directly released from the center of the block in his hand, and then quickly contracted.
Silently.
Kilometers of material have been completely stripped away, and there is no trace of it!
Only a giant hollow is left in place.
Looking at this scene through the spell projection, Olga casually threw away the handle in his hand that was about to be rubbed, and pouted: "I knew there would be such a method......"
It's the old routine.
When the brave fights the boss, if he can't beat it, he will do a sacrifice blow or something, and take the demon king away.
It is precisely because of this that Orga does not want to show his face, and he has always been reluctant to have an advantage.
After all, the other party is clearly prepared, and no matter how you look at it, it should be a bit of a pressure on the bottom of the box.
After successfully solving a trouble, he stretched his waist and said with a smile: "Now that the game is over, then the main play should also begin......
After speaking, the screen of the spell projection turned and switched to the direction of the defense line.
