Jackaris turned over, talked in his sleep, hugged his dirty and scary blanket tightly, tried to bend himself into a ball and fell asleep again. He was too tired, like most of the citizens of Remut, after half a month of turbulent life, he could finally sleep peacefully tonight.
Under the initial attack of the living corpses, Jacaris and the other 2,000 or so citizens were lucky to escape because they stayed in the underground base. In the ensuing turmoil, Jacaris also followed Remut's soldiers in an assault on the ground. In that battle, Jackaris lost his right leg, so he had to wear a prosthetic.
But Jackaris is proud. He has been crawling on the lifeline all his life, betraying all his self-esteem just to live. But this time, he's fighting for his life and his honor. Although he lost his leg, he awarded the title of honorable citizen to Mr. Theon, the chairman of the trade union, and enjoyed the free life of Remut for help. It can be said that the rest of Jacaris' life will be worry-free, and Remut will support him, as well as the other hundred or so citizens who were injured in this battle.
So in his sleep, Jackaris' rough old face always smiled from time to time.
In his deep sleep, he didn't know that there was a hole in the alloy wall slowly melting on the wall beside his bed. There are four jumps of electric fire in the hole, but it is the sparks caused by the short circuit caused by the melting of the cables hidden between the walls.
The opening of the hole is expanding, from the size of a fist at first, it quickly spreads out in an irregular shape. When the gap was big enough for an adult cat to pass through, a drop of green viscous liquid at the edge of the gap pulled out a thin thread, and finally dripped on Jacaris' nose.
Blue smoke suddenly rose from Jaccaris' nose, and the skin quickly melted away. The cartilage tissue in the nose turned black, and then melted away soundlessly. But for a moment, Jacaris' nose was almost completely melted by the strong acid!
The severe pain caused Jacaris to let out a scream in his dream. When he opened his eyes, he saw blue smoke billowing in front of his eyes, as well as a silent black gap in the wall of his house.
Jacaris jumped up from the bed, and from the dark gap, cold and damp air spread in. He looked at the opening conspicuously, and heard some strange sounds coming 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. Jackaris finally came to his senses and wanted to turn around and shout. Unexpectedly, he had only half turned around when several black shadows jumped out of the gap, wrapping around Jacaris' limbs and mouth respectively. One of the black shadows burrowed straight into Jacaris' mouth, and he could feel the vomit-like mucus attached to the surface of the thing.
And in this way, Jackaris could not scream at all. He was struggling desperately when a huge force came from behind and dragged him towards the entrance of the cave. The back of Jacalys' head hit the edge of the gap so hard that he nearly passed out from the pain. But at the edge of life and death, Jacaris burst out with an unbelievable will to survive. He clasped both sides of the gap tightly with his hands, preventing the things behind him from dragging him away.
It is a pity that sometimes, some things are not transferred by manpower.
For example fate.
Jacaris didn't know that he had been recorded on the death list tonight. But soon, a claw that penetrated from his back and pierced from his lower abdomen told him this fact. Jacaris could see clearly that the paw still carried bits of flesh and intestines from his body.
The fire of life disappeared quickly, and Jacaris, whose hands and feet became cold, lost any resistance. As his hands loosened, he could only watch himself being dragged into the darkness. Outside the gap, the yellowish wall lamp in the bedroom gradually moved away from him, and the darkness engulfed him, as well as his consciousness.
A moment later, there was a creepy chewing sound in the darkness of the gap.
When the sound ceased, the Lurker crawled out of the gap and jumped onto Jacaerys' body. The lurker turned his head and let out a high-frequency whistling sound beyond the gap that humans could hear. At the same time, four other lurkers appeared at various angles on the edge of Remut's base, emitting the same sound waves.
The sound waves quickly spread to the wilderness through the tunnels dug by the lurkers, and swept across the entire wilderness. So not long after, in a dilapidated building in the distance, darkness kept crawling out of every window. From a distance, it looked like countless cockroaches were infesting.
It was a living corpse, and hundreds or even nearly a thousand living corpses kept pouring out. They climbed out of the window, fell to the ground, and followed the guidance of the howling sound, and drilled into the designated passage in five directions. Looking down from the sky, in the dark night, five undercurrents are continuously pouring into the ground, and eventually they will flow into Remut's underground base.
After all the ordinary living corpses were expelled, hundreds of Destroyers, as well as different numbers of Butchers and Rippers appeared in the darkness. Tall butchers are obviously not suitable for passing through the tunnel, so they guard the entrance of the tunnel like guards, allowing the tearers and blasters to enter the ground through different passages. When all the living corpses in the wilderness disappeared, they ran towards the wilderness in other directions.
In the direction the butchers were heading, it was the camp where the Asgard army was temporarily stationed!
When the electronic clock on the wall jumped to 4:35 in the morning, a sharp gunshot woke Theon from his sleep. In a trance, there seemed to be a woman's scream and a man's roar in Theon's ears. Following Theon's whole body shaking violently, Pella's low and pleasant voice rang in his ears: "Mr. Theon, you must leave immediately. We are under attack!"
For a moment, Theon thought he was in the wilderness. But after recovering, he remembered that he was in Remut's base.
What will the underground base be attacked by
"Pella, what's going on?" Theon asked as he put on his clothes.
Outside the window of his apartment, the underground base of Remut was flashing red warning lights, and there were high-pitched beeps, gunshots and roars.
Remut has turned into a chaotic vortex.
"It's a living corpse!" Pera looked anxiously out of the window: "These things came out of nowhere, they have already occupied the West Street and the trade area, and they are advancing in our direction. Our number is too small, I'm afraid we won't be able to support them for long."
"Where's the ground troops? Notify them immediately!" Theon roared.
Pera said indifferently: "The communication was cut off, which seems to be the cause of the circuit failure. But now, we don't have electricians to repair, and many people died before the battle started."
Theon gasped.
At this time, a panicked voice sounded from Pella's communicator: "Miss Pella, quickly take Mr. Theon away, we can't hold on any longer, ah..."
The communication ended with a short scream, and then there was a chewing sound from the device, which made Theon's scalp tingle.
Pella turned off the communicator expressionlessly, and said to Theon: "Let's go, sir, before the situation gets out of control."
Theon nodded, the situation was beyond his choice. After getting dressed, Sean thought for a while, then pulled out the drawer again, and took out a handful of old-fashioned guns. There was only one bullet in the gun, and Theon would use that bullet to end himself if necessary. His nobility does not allow living corpses to invade him!
Pera kicked the door open and escorted Theon out of the apartment. Walking out of the street, the sound suddenly increased tenfold. Theon glanced up the street, but one thought flitted through his mind.
Ramt is over!
This city, which pinned all of Theon's hopes, was like a delicate woman's naked body exposed to the eyes of Mad Street. The Remut in Theon's eyes was burning, and the flames ruthlessly stripped the city's coat, and the buildings and people fell in the flames. Countless living corpses are having a frenzied banquet, and they are chewing on all life within sight.
Rippers roamed between walls and ceilings, tearing apart the Rattlesnakes' defenses with their razor-sharp claws.
The last ones were the blasters. These mobile biological bombs detonated in key buildings in Remut as if they had received accurate information, ruthlessly destroying Theon's decades of hard work.
Ramt is over. Theon said with great desolation in his heart that he still saw the hope of the existence of this city just before falling asleep. But when one wakes up, all hope is collapsing. Is there anything more cruel than this
Gunshots sounded in his ears, and in a trance, Theon saw Pella holding a gun in each hand, shooting wildly at both sides of the street in the direction of the entrance to the base.
The portable automatic machine gun roared in Pella's hands, and the bullets poured down like rain in the long flame, as if spewing out Remut's last dignity, smashing the living corpses that appeared in Pella's sight.
The line of fire formed by the bullets continued to cut through the buildings and the living corpses, and Pella opened a path to survival for Theon without saying a word.
Perhaps, there is still hope.
Xi En said this in his heart, and his confused eyes gradually became firmer.
"Pella, do you still have a gun?" Theon yelled.
Pera was silent, but with a shaking hand, he threw a shotgun behind his back to Theon. As soon as Theon caught it, the roar of the living corpse sounded behind him. He turns, reloads, raises his gun, shoots!
The shotgun blasted a burst of flames, and in the flames, a living corpse leaping towards Theon exploded instantly from the body above the chest.
The blood sprayed Theon's face, but Theon felt very happy.
Just like this, the two of them came to the entrance of the base relying on each other.
The armored gate at the entrance was silently closed. This gate, which once prevented the living corpses from attacking day and night, has now become a fatal barrier for Remut. Pera jumped on the manual console next to the gate, but found that Remut's power had been cut off, and even the backup power could not be activated. This makes any button on the console unresponsive, let alone open the door to escape.
Xi En shot another living corpse, and there were at least dozens of living corpses that fell at the chairman's feet. The whole body of Xi En was stained with the blood of the living corpse, and he looked like a ghost.
Seeing Pella slapping the console in vain, Theon smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it, Pella, it would be nice to die with you."
"No!" Pella screamed. This female bodyguard, who had always been calm, now had tears streaming from her eyes: "You must not be allowed to die here, Mr. Theon, you are everyone's hope!"
After all, Pera suddenly ran towards the armored gate.
To Theon's surprise, Pera actually retracted his right fist, then exhaled and punched out.
The slender fist was covered with faint energy ripples, and Pera punched hard on the floor under the gate. The alloy floor immediately sank, and the electronic circuits in the interlayer were all broken, but more importantly, there was a line of gap between the armored door and the ground.
"Pella, what are you doing?"
Pera ignored Theon's question, she just inserted her hands into the gap in the door and clenched them tightly.
"Ah!" Pella yelled, and raised her arms vigorously.
But in an instant, the alloy floor under Pella's feet sank, and the beautiful snake sprayed blood mist all over her body. That's because the pressure on the body has exceeded the limit of the blood vessels, and the blood vessels burst one after another. Immediately, 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.
Pella ignored her completely, her eyes widened angrily, she still screamed with her mouth open, and her pair of arms grabbed the armored door tightly and kept lifting it up.
There was a sharp grinding sound from the door, and under Pella's desperate efforts, it rose slightly.
With a click, Pera's right leg suddenly knelt down to the ground, but the ankle bone was crushed by the huge pressure. But even so, Pera still used his knees as a fulcrum to support his body and kept pushing the armored door away.
Pella, who was shouting, seemed to return to a moment long ago.
It was a day when she was 15 years old. When Pera was still a young girl, she traded her body in exchange for food to feed herself and her parents. I remember that after finishing a transaction that day, Pera returned home with expired bread, only to find that her elderly parents had died quietly.
When they died, they were as skinny as a stick, with almost no trace of fat in their bodies. It was the result of all the nutrients in their bodies being squeezed out by radiation, and it was also the appearance of all the old people in the settlement when they died.
Pella remembers that the parents had begun to physically attract the blood-sucking flies. Flies circled the corpse, and even after all these years, occasionally in his sleep, Pella seemed to be able to hear the buzzing sound of the flies flying that afternoon.
Afterwards, Perla seemed to lose all desire to live. It's just that her instinct prevented her from committing suicide. She continued to stay in the settlement, exchanging her own body for resources to survive.
One night Pera lay numb on a plank. On her naked body, a man is venting his desire. This man's body is covered with mutated tissues, and even that thing is covered with bumps. It's this dirty thing that keeps haunting Pera's body. When the man arrived at the **, there were chaotic sounds in the settlement, followed by the gate being roughly kicked open.
When Pella didn't understand what was going on, a group of soldiers rushed in and took the man away, but when they saw Pella's ceramic body, the soldiers' eyes were full of desire.
At that time, to Pera, the physical man was just a different face, and she didn't care at all. Just when one of the soldiers was panting heavily and about to possess her, the sound of gunshots sounded behind them, and the soldier's forehead was bleeding, and he fell to the side of Pera's bed with a three-pointed expression of astonishment.
Footsteps sounded in Pella's ears, and the next moment she saw Theon.
Theon's gaze also fell on her, but he didn't show desire like others. He just looked at Pera quietly, and asked, "Want to get out of hell?"
"I can give you hope!"
There was a little spark in Pella's ashen eyes by Theon's words.
On that night, Pella came to Remut with Theon leaving, and all the slaves captured in the settlement. Remut was still under construction at the time, but Theon told Pella and many others about his vision.
That is the city that everyone in the settlement hopes for, it is a city of hope!
Pera stayed in Ramtree, where she found a reason to live.
live for yourself!
That's what Theon said to her, so 15-year-old Pera joined Remut's boot camp.
Became a sheriff at the age of 16.
At the age of 17, she joined the Rattlesnake force newly established by Theon. In the same year, she became the leader of the Rattlesnake and the bodyguard of Theon.
"Pella, live on..." Those words back then seemed to still be lingering in my ears, lingering.
"Live!" Pera closed her eyes and shouted with the last bit of strength: "Mr. Theon, you must live!"
Ten years ago, Theon had said this to her. Ten years later, she returned this sentence to Theon.
In Theon's unbelievable eyes, the armored gate unexpectedly raised a gap of about 30 centimeters under Pella's slender body. Pella put her shoulder against the door and looked back at Theon.
She had no energy left to speak.
Ke Theon understood everything.
run!
Theon didn't hesitate, he ran to the door and rolled out through the crack.
Behind the door was the icy cold air unique to the wilderness. Sean lifted his spirits and turned his head to Pella and said, "Come out, we..."
Theon's voice stopped suddenly, followed by mist in his eyes.
Under the armored door, Pera was still half-kneeling. Her eyes were wide open, still maintaining the posture of carrying the door. But under her nostrils, there were two thin lines of blood flowing continuously.
And her chest had stopped rising and falling.
Pella was dead, and the pressure in her body had crushed all her internal organs when she pushed up the door. To pull up a door that weighs dozens of tons, only ability users whose strength has been strengthened to level five or above can do it. But Pella managed it with two levels of ability, and the price was death on the spot.
Theon reached out, wanting to touch Pera's face again.
The door suddenly fell down, cruelly crushing the once beautiful face. Seeing the blood gradually dripping from the ground, Theon, who thought his heart was as hard as iron, burst into tears like a child.
It turns out that losing a loved one makes my heart hurt so much!
