Chapter 862: Finding Pale Blood to End the Night of the Hunt
Crazy, people are all crazy.
I don't know who it started, someone smashed the head of the person next to him with a stone, and then someone else stabbed him to death with a knife.
I don't know when people started to move from fleeing passive defense to active attack, and the line between perpetrators and victims was blurred.
I don't know why, everyone went crazy, using stones without weapons, sticks without stones, and fists without sticks.
There are no rules, and pure chaos plays out in every corner of the city.
Blood spread like flames through the city.
Jonathan carried Jessica out into the street and saw such a scene.
"How....... ”
John rubbed his eyes a little sluggishly, just a few minutes ago, the streets were chaotic but not like this.
Jonathan is not surprised by this, fear is contagious and turns into panic on the way to transmission, and panic that has lost its restraint can easily and quickly turn into madness when stimulated by external forces. These people are just infected by madness, and the opportunity is probably the 'half of the people' in that thing's mouth.
Seeing Jonathan and the others appear, some of the people in the crowd who were still fighting each other just now suddenly turned their faces to this side, and looked at several people with a vicious expression that was distorted to the point of deformation.
Jonathan saw their expressions and understood that they were the same half.
"Run!"
They were already on alert, and everyone moved when they heard Jonathan's shout, and at the same time, the crazy people chased after them.
The house is not a good choice, once it is encircled, it is equivalent to being trapped to death; because of the twists and turns and complexity, the path is conducive to getting rid of the pursuers, but it is also easy to encounter ambushes; the avenue is not easy to be ambushed, but there are many enemies, and you can only rely on physical strength to get rid of the pursuers.
No matter how you choose, it's not safe enough.
John shouted to Jonathan as he ran.
"Into the alley!"
Jonathan didn't think much of it and immediately turned into the alley.
The alleys were a bit of a mess, full of debris and forks, but soon a strange-looking building appeared in front of Jonathan.
It is a circular building, surrounded by a small open space by three-storey houses interconnected on all sides, and the outer houses protect the open space in the middle like a city wall, and the only entrance is a flashing heavy iron gate.
John ran to the iron door, and before he had time to rest, he took out the key from his body and opened the door.
The footsteps behind him were like a wave getting closer and closer, John's hands trembled slightly, and after two attempts, he finally opened the iron door, and the group hurried inside.
The open space fenced by the houses is piled up with pockets one after another, and looking at the labels on the pockets, it seems that there are some expensive spices and hobbies such as coffee and tea.
"This is what I rented as a warehouse. ”
John said as he gestured to the houses that surrounded the clearing.
"These houses are connected to the building next to them, which gives you direct access to Central Street. ”
Central Avenue is the city's main thoroughfare, which is not only wide but also allows large horse-drawn carriages to travel, so it is easier to find a means of transportation.
Gritting his teeth, John and the guards beside him exchanged ears for a while, and then stuffed the pocket watch in his hand into Jessica's arms.
"You go out through the south gate with Jessica, and we'll go through the north. ”
John, of course, didn't want to be separated from his daughter, and he wanted to protect her if he could, but she knew very well that she didn't have that ability.
Jonathan, on the other hand, is the companion of the monsters, and has a combat ability that the guards around him can't match combined, and if he only protects Jessica alone without other burdens, he can maximize the success rate of escaping.
So John turned his gaze to Jonathan very seriously, and that look was closer to a request than a pleading.
"Jessica is up to you, please protect her. ”
It's not that I haven't thought about relying on the city guards, but now basically the whole city has started a bloody battle, and I don't know how much of a role the city guards can play, and the worst case is that even the city guards have become like this.
"There is a battalion of the lord's cavalry outside the south gate, give my pocket watch to their commander, and they will help you. ”
The cavalry commander was an old friend of John's, and the two had a very good relationship, and they had business dealings, and the business of the city was also taken care of by that man, not very reliable, but they could be trusted.
Jonathan nodded and agreed, and Jessica didn't object, she reached out and put her arms around her father's neck and kissed him lightly on the cheek.
"Also be safe. ”
John smiled, as long as he had the blessing of his daughter, he would definitely come back safely, and he would never die until he went to his daughter's wedding crying and laughing, until he saw that his daughter had a husband and children who loved him deeply, and until he handed his daughter into the hands of the next man who could become her dependent.
"Ah, protect yourself, if Jonathan dares to bully you, tell Daddy, and Daddy will clean him up. ”
Shaking his daughter's hand tightly, John left without looking back, under the protection of the guards, and they were going to the north of the city, where there was a canal that connected to the next city, and as long as they could reach the port, it would be safe.
Jonathan didn't think about stopping John, the target of that thing was himself and Jessica, who were related to the Osorb, and the main characters of this game were himself and Jessica, and John and they might find another way to escape.
As for the City Guard and the cavalry battalion, Jonathan never put his hope in them.
This is a game that used to use a city as a venue and half of the city's inhabitants as pawns with the thing attached to the guard, and no matter how you think about it, this game is definitely not that simple.
"Let's go too. ”
Jessica, who was on her back, nodded.
The two of them walked upstairs as John had said, and during this time they could hear screams and cries and smashing in all directions, but gradually, the sounds began to change, and became a scream that could not tell whether they were choking or laughing.
Jonathan didn't know what was going on out there, but he knew it was never a good sign.
Soon, the passage in the house came to an end, and Jonathan carried Jessica downstairs, a plainly decorated tavern, also one of John's assets, and he held Jessica's hips while plucking a Northern battle axe from the wall as an ornament, and then opened the tavern door to look out.
Outside the door is Central Street, which has lost its previous prosperity, and the blood and flames of corpses have become the main tone, and the monsters that exceeded Jonathan's expectations are wandering the streets like this.
