Thick dark clouds rolled over the sky above Old Dunling. Although it was daytime, no light could penetrate the gloomy iron curtain, dragging the entire city, and even the entire world, into darkness.
The operation of the entire Old Dunling came to a halt today. The galloping winds and the fierce rainstorms gathered together. Amidst lightning and thunder, Old Dunling welcomed this suffocating and depressing storm.
Amid the violent storm, there were no traces of living people on the streets. Even the factories that worked day and night chose to rest at this moment. The voice of the host on the radio became intermittent, and his few words comforted the citizens, allowing everyone to enjoy this rare holiday.
Although doomsday-like weather was looming over the city, people did not feel scared but rather delighted. On this unexpected holiday, people and their families sat by the fireplace in the living room, listening to the howling wind and enjoying the warmth of the family.
But not everyone can have such warmth. There is a figure struggling to move forward in the rainstorm. The rain is getting heavier and heavier, like a deadly storm. The majestic rain curtain makes people feel like drowning and suffocating. In this difficult environment, the figure struggled to reach the shadow of a building and temporarily avoided the cold rain curtain.
"How terrible..."
Merlin panted and slowly sat down against the wall. The once mysterious alchemist was completely soaked and looked miserable.
There were chaotic gunshots coming through the rain, and faint sounds of monsters roaring. The entire Black Mountain Hospital was caught in the flames of war under the heavy rain, which eroded and interfered with communications. The rain blocked the view, and everything now seemed extremely bad. No one knew what would happen next.
But at least Merlin is temporarily safe, and as Arthur gives the order, he and Abigail evacuate in different ways to preserve their strength as much as possible.
Although he made assurances to Arthur, Merlin's evacuation method was not really safe or efficient. After lifting Lorenzo out of the birdcage, this somewhat morbid alchemist showed amazing strength. He carried Lorenzo all the way out of the scientific research area.
Maybe it was because of the heavy rain, or maybe it was because there were only two people and the target was smaller, but Merlin unexpectedly did not encounter any monsters along the way. He had thought that he could use this opportunity to re-familiarize himself with the swordsmanship that he had not used for many years.
However, no matter how smooth the situation was, judging from the fierce noise and the erosion that was still spreading, the battle would probably be extremely brutal. In addition to the current weather environment and the influence of erosion, Merlin needed to leave the affected area as soon as possible and mobilize the troops.
Looking at the rainstorm outside the shadow, the whole world seemed to be dragged into the deep sea.
The Black Mountain Hospital was too big, and the heavy rain obscured his vision. After running for so long, he was not sure how far he was from the border of the Black Mountain Hospital, not to mention that he was carrying an overweight demon hunter.
Due to the silver-binding bolts in his body, Lorenzo's weight was much heavier than that of an ordinary person, which made it very difficult for Merlin, a scientific researcher, to carry him. But it was not a big deal. Instead, it reminded him of his apprentice days, when he carried a lot of alchemical materials, and the situation then was very similar to the present.
