Chapter 41: The City of Death
He looked at the open drains on the side of the road where sewage was flowing and rats were scurrying around. My heart jumped: "It can't be the plague, right?"
"No, it's yellow fever!" Bradley said.
This is a plague that is very strange to Asians. It is mainly transmitted by mosquitoes and is endemic in the tropics and subtropics of Africa and South America.
"But I heard those people talk about the devil and the devil. And admit that Ding was wrong, wasn't it the demons who made it?" O'Neill retorted.
Bradley took a deep breath and said, "This kind of thing is not clear, I just know what I know." As for this hellish otherworld...... Let's find our way back sooner!"
"But the mirror is broken, how the hell are we going to get back?" Dick was a little uneasy.
"There will be a way!" Bradley said, "and now we have to be mindful that we must not be infected." Who's carrying a mosquito repellent potion?"
Everyone looked at each other a little at this moment, even though they often carried out special tasks.
If it is a field mission, all kinds of mosquito repellent and insect repellent potions are indispensable. But this time it's a raid mission, and no one is prepared for this thing......
Thinking about the illness that once bitten by these mosquitoes carrying the virus, everyone feels creepy, even suspicious, and keeps looking around.
"Let's get out of this city first!" Liu Shengzhi spoke.
A few people thought about it, and it was true. It's so dirty in the city, it's like a slum for generations to come.
Apparently. At this time, Lao Mi, like those Europeans, had not yet learned to pay attention to hygiene. Dead people don't look like Paris. It's almost a city on a dung heap, but it's not much cleaner.
This kind of place. It's definitely the best breeding ground for all kinds of mosquitoes and the like.
And the people of the city don't seem to be very friendly to them, they have already killed a dozen soldiers. I don't want to attract more troops and fight another battle.
"Don't be nervous, as far as I know. As soon as the plague broke out, the federal government and parliament fled Philadelphia, and the whole city was almost plunged into anarchy......"
Bradley hadn't finished his sentence when another burst of neat footsteps was heard. He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I take back what I just said, even if I didn't say it!"
This time, the army came more slowly. It was even intended to outflank them from all sides.
It's a pity that in terms of both combat consciousness and weapons, these soldiers are not Liu Shengzhi's opponents. was killed in one place, allowing them to break out.
The army of this era seems to be still in the stage of queuing to be shot. In order to ensure the firepower of the weapon, the soldiers had to line up in a neat formation and rely on a tight array to shoot as many bullets as possible......
Liu Shengyi and his pedestrians quickly retreated on these stone roads, for people who were accustomed to the neat planning of later generations. In this kind of port city, the twisting streets are like a maze.
Good thing for O'Neill. It's all elite. Able to remember the terrain and landforms in a variety of complex environments, and quickly distinguish the correct road.
They easily broke through the encirclement of the soldiers, and had come to another street near the riverbank.
The river was a disgusting black with a layer of oil. With a stench. The houses in this area are even lower and cramped than they were in the previous place. Many of them are even shanty towns made of wood.
There are traces of fighting damage in many places, and there are even blood stains that have not been washed away in some inconspicuous places.
Through the broken door panels of a house. You can see that the furniture in the house has been smashed to the ground. There was dust everywhere. Apparently this house has been uninhabited for a long time.
In fact, even along the way, they rarely saw people.
When the plague struck, people who had the means, like the entire federal government, including their founding father, Washington, and the Continental Congress, fled the city.
"I always feel that this place is wrong, everyone be careful......" Liu Shengzhi reminded everyone.
"Let's go!" Bradley agreed, "this is a port city, but there are certainly no ships in the harbor right now." Or we can leave by boat......"
No one noticed Bradley's nonsense, because I don't know when, the air became more and more humid and muggy, and the moisture in the air was so high that a layer of mist was born.
The mist wrapped around the skin made people who were already uncomfortable with the high temperature and stuffiness to the extreme, and even had a feeling of being completely surrounded by something, impermeable.
It's as if they're all packed into a steamer, then put on a stove, drained little by little, and then slowly cooked......
In the shadowy mist, there was a swaying figure shaking, but it was not very clear, and at the same time, there was a smell of rotting corpses.
Liu Shengzhi's face changed at this moment, and he thought of many very bad situations. He released a few ghost soldiers and went to investigate.
Liu Shengzhi was originally just a small temptation. However, really unexpectedly, under the sun. Those ghost soldiers didn't immediately disappear in the true fire of the sun.
This made Liu Shengzhi immediately understand that the sun here is fake, that is, this is definitely not the real world.
You know, despite the gloomy weather, there is smoke floating in the air, and it is filled with an inexplicable evil force.
But the true fire of the sun is the true fire of the sun, and there is no place to stop that kind of power. It is hundreds of meters deep underground, as long as it is daylight, although the power of the sun's true fire is weakened, it will still exist.
And now, these ghost soldiers brought up bursts of yin wind, and they were actually torn apart by the impermeable fog around them, and according to Liu Shengzhi's orders, they flew around.
At the same time, the swaying figure had been clearly seen by the Heavenly Demon.
Almost as Liu Shengzhi expected, it was a corpse that was highly decomposed, and even maggots were crawling in and out of it. It was staggering towards Liu Shengzhi and the others under the support of a mysterious and evil force.
O'Neill also saw clearly, and he shouted, "Hell......"
The gun in his hand kept firing, and the ferocious fire fell on the thing's body, and each bullet burst out a wound the size of a wine glass, almost tearing the upper body of the walking corpse to pieces in the blink of an eye. (To be continued......)
