Chapter 168 You are the anchor
"After passing that village and climbing another mountain, we will leave Jiangluo." Dong Bin unscrewed the water cup and took a sip of water. He looked at the small village in the distance and frowned, "The army is the farthest, and it is also
They can only meet us outside that village."
"Uh-huh." Lili, the little girl codenamed "Executioner", replied expressionlessly.
Dong Bin was used to Lili's lukewarm attitude towards everyone. He turned his head and looked at the dense crowd behind him.
At the time of Huangquan's invasion, there were still nearly one-tenth of the people who had not evacuated Jiangluo. These people were not all, but there were at least several thousand or nearly ten thousand people. Excluding a few scattered people who joined later, there were many
They were all those who were stranded at Jiangluo Railway Station, and the ones responsible for escorting them were a small group of law enforcers led by Lili. The more people who had not evacuated Jiangluo had long since dispersed, and the law enforcers had no time to spare.
Find and protect them.
I would like to add that little girl Lili was very unhappy about being assigned this task. She felt that she was being overqualified.
Of course, the same goes for Dong Bin. He clearly said that letting him escort was just to give himself a face. In fact, it was to protect himself. The extraordinary battlefield in the city was completely beyond the standards for him.
But we have to admit that it is wise to send people to escort. Although most of the nightmares are concentrated in the city, there are also many scattered in the suburbs. If there are no law enforcers fighting, it is very likely that the flow of people will have been washed away by the nightmares.
They dispersed. But even so, there were still many casualties or missing people.
The law enforcers had no choice but to do their best under the premise of being exhausted and short of manpower. Those innocent people who were captured and devoured by the nightmare could only mourn for them.
Dong Bin realized something deeply: You can never save everyone.
A strong atmosphere of despair enveloped the team, and a series of horrors that destroyed people's world view followed one after another. After that moment of fear passed, only a numbness soaked in blood remained.
Dong Bin didn't continue to come forward to find something to say. He walked to the front of the team. He really didn't want to stay in the team anymore, let alone face the fearful eyes of the children. After a whole morning of hard work, he couldn't stand it anymore.
They who were happy citizens yesterday suddenly became refugees.
But I can still comfort myself, at least I didn't bring all this to them, I am still doing my best to help them.
I am very weak, but I can still do one thing well.
"Lili, I think it's best to send a few people to the village to check before letting everyone in." Dong Bin observed for a while, then turned to Lili and said, "Although everyone in the village should be gone, but...
I always feel something is not right, if there is a nightmare hiding inside, it will be troublesome."
"Oh, then go and tell the people behind you to stop?" Lili gave him a look that looked like an idiot.
"Uh... I didn't think it through well..." Dong Bin slapped his forehead and felt stupid himself. In this situation, people wanted to leave this hell place as soon as possible. The law enforcers were powerless just to protect them. How could they have the strength?
Take control of the situation?
Now to put it bluntly, the law enforcers can only barely maintain order. These thousands of people are now in an unorganized state. No one has the ability to make everyone obey their orders and wait where they are.
"However, what you said still makes sense," Lili spread her wings, and the pair of unknown substances formed on her
Her back unfolded, and under the influence of molecular reorganization, the metal sword in her hand was reconstructed into a heavy crossbow. "I fly fast. Let's go and take a look first. If there are any nightmares, just kill them."
"This..." Dong Bin felt inexplicably that it was inappropriate for Lili to go alone, but there was nothing he could do. A group of powerful law enforcers stayed in the city. Although the people who came to escort the team were also extraordinary people,
But after all, they are all weaker, and except for Lili, they are not very good at fighting. "It's okay, it's so far away from the city, there shouldn't be too strong nightmares, right?"
Lili waved her hands, spread her wings and flew up.
Dong Bin watched her go away. For some reason, he always felt a little uneasy in his heart. Behind him came the whispers of several children——
"Look, that sister can fly!"
"It's amazing. It turns out there are so many amazing people."
"Yes, such a scary big bad wolf was beaten away by the little sister!"
Listening to the childish conversations of the children, one felt touched. Dong Bin forcibly interrupted the bad speculation and continued on his way. The children must be protected. No matter what, the war belongs to adults.
The child is innocent.
…
"It's strange," Lili said to herself, flying above the village, "Everyone in this village should have left, but why is it so quiet? It seems..."
Lili slowly landed on the roof of a small bungalow and looked around.
The surroundings are very messy, and some things are scattered on the road. It seems that this family left in a hurry when they evacuated. There are some dried grains under their feet, which seem to be used to feed chickens and ducks...
Lili knew something was wrong, and she probably knew something was wrong - in this village, there was no sound of any domestic animals, not a single sound of chickens crowing and dogs barking! People were leaving in such a hurry, how could they have the energy to take all the livestock with them?
So...where did all those livestock go?
Lili jumped down from the roof, rummaged around, and soon found what she was looking for, which were a few scattered chicken feathers. There were also a few drops of solidified blood near these chicken feathers.
"It's interesting. This nightmare is like a weasel, sneaking around... But it's okay now. I just need to kill you." Lili looked in the direction of the blood drop. She didn't think it was a sneaking nightmare.
How strong can it be.
Following the blood drops, Lili found a small wooden shed without much effort, and a pungent smell of blood hit her face. She climbed over the wall, and then she saw livestock carcasses piled up into a hill, and there were also
There is a body of a jackal-like monster - only without a head.
Lili's eyes moved up and she saw the person sitting on the pile of corpses tossing the nightmare's head for fun. The girl's pupils shrank instantly.
"Little girl, I ripped off the head when I saw how noisy this thing was." The chain threw the nightmare's head along the corpses of the livestock, smiling cruelly, "Long time no see."
"Let's go! Everyone, let's go! This is a trap!" Lili yelled at the top of her lungs, hoping that people who were about to enter the village could hear her voice.
She completely understood that this deserted village had joined the trap set by Huang Quan's chain. As a dead person who had been detained by law enforcement for decades, the chain had no intention of letting people out alive from the beginning.
The girl's cry stopped abruptly, and the people who knew nothing about anything had arrived at the entrance of the village. At this moment, the drizzle that had been spreading all morning suddenly stopped, and the dazzling midday sun penetrated the clouds, illuminating the hidden people.
The nightmares crawling out of the place screamed and roared, looking forward to the inevitable bloody feast under the sunlight.
…
Everything seems like a nightmare.
Everything is so unreal.
Bloody light, broken bodies, chewing, tearing, wailing...
Alien monsters were biting flesh and blood, and fierce ghosts were flying above the heads of the people who were fleeing in embarrassment, creating a scene that looked like a doomsday.
Dong Bin huddled behind a broken wall, holding the gun barrel with both hands, trying to use the pain in his palms to force himself to ignore those desperate sounds.
Everything is over. There is only one step left, and only one step left for people to reach a safe place. But it is useless to say anything now. I am not as strong as Xiao Yao. Faced with all this, I can't do anything.
Maybe he should stand up, shoot, and fight, so that he could die more or less decently. But his legs were weakening and his body was shaking. Even though he knew that hiding here would mean death, he still had the courage to stand up.
None.
"Mom, Dad... help me..." There was a voice behind him that penetrated the wall and entered his ears stubbornly. It seemed to be a child calling for help, but the childish voice stopped suddenly.
Could that child... Dong Bin didn't dare to think about it anymore, but by some strange coincidence, he turned his head and looked through the gap in the wall——
"Get away!" A new voice came from the other side. It was a girl's cry, and she was very familiar with it.
It was Lili covered in blood. She was holding the crying child in one hand, and the other hand was hanging by her side as if she had no bones. The girl's originally cute face was also stained with blood.
It was filled with fresh blood, covering a bright eye.
The nightmare of a fierce ghost type was torn into two pieces by Lili, but the situation worsened because what followed was the demon wrapped in iron chains.
The long iron chain dragged out sparks on the ground, and the expression on the chain revealed contempt: "It's you. Although you escaped from my hands just now, how naive must you be to think so?"
Can I escape again?"
"However," Chains smiled, and his smile was a little bit catchy, "My only purpose is still not you."
A thick black iron chain was swung up, following a fan-shaped trajectory, destroying everything it came into contact with without any hindrance.
The blow was so fast and sudden that Dong Bin didn't even realize what happened. His body was rolled up and hit hard on the ground.
Dong Bin struggled to straighten his upper body. His spine seemed to be broken and he had no feeling in his legs. He struggled to take out the pistol Luo Yunfan gave him, but when he raised his head, he knew that it was meaningless.
Because he saw the chain showing a somewhat sickly smile and said to him——
"Finally I found you, the 'anchor' in the night sky!"
Anchor? Dong Bin was stunned for a few seconds before he realized that the chain was speaking to himself. And he quickly figured out the true meaning of this sentence.
Chapter completed!
