Under Matt Ning's urging, his wife finally came to her senses, nodded in panic, and then went to comfort the two children. Matt Ning walked to the window and gently opened the window. Their home was a two-story building.
, there was a dirty alley outside, his eyes swept outside, he didn't see anything strange, it was just unusually calm.
At this time, he seemed to have thought of something, and turned around and said.
"Wait a little longer and see what happens."
The couple waited in uneasiness for another 20 minutes. After confirming that there were no enemies nearby, Matnin, who was known for his cautious actions, made a decision.
"Let's go through the back door. Don't let the children make any noise. There may be enemies coming."
After making final preparations, Matnin held his pistol and put the machete on his waist. His wife also had a pistol and a dagger. After the two reached the first floor, they carefully pushed open the back door of the house.
After confirming that no one was there, he pushed the stroller covered with thick cloth and moved carefully.
Matt Ning was very familiar with this area. It was about a mile away from the pick-up point mentioned by the leader, which was not too far. For safety reasons, he was not going to take the main road, but the path between the buildings.
Along the way, both of them were highly nervous and always alert to their surroundings.
But what's even more strange is that neither of them heard anything.
"Husband, if there are enemies, why... there is no movement? There is not even the sound of gunshots..."
After hearing his wife's whisper, Matning was silent for a moment, then came to the corner in front, then pressed against the wall, took out a mirror and stretched it out. After confirming that there were no enemies, he turned around and said:
"This is the most terrifying thing... Now we can't contact any compatriots. In other words, we can't be sure whether the people standing in front of us are compatriots. This may be because the oppressors have come back to counterattack, so we can't
Trust anyone easily unless he has the mark of blessing!"
"But...but haven't the angels of the Star Emperor already arrived?"
The woman raised her head and looked at the huge silhouette looming in the clouds.
"The angel is here, how dare those vampires come back?"
"Who knows, let's go to a safe place first, and we will have the answer then."
As soon as the two people turned around the alley, several desperate screams drew their attention to the entrance of the curved alley on the right. Continuous gunshots and painful cries echoed among the ruined buildings.
Soon, a dozen people rounded the turn thirty meters away in the alley and rushed towards the two men, shouting in terror. Behind them, three three-armed cult guards were attacking Matt with automatic weapons in their hands.
Ning shot at a target he couldn't see, then turned around and chased the others.
Matnin immediately waved his arms.
"Brothers and sisters! Brothers and sisters! What's happening!"
Before the other party could reply, he saw them...
Two huge figures appeared at the corner. They were like haggard scarecrows used to scare birds in farmland. Their hunched and curved bodies were covered with dirty rags, and their long, thin limbs had razor-like ends at the end.
claws, ruby-like light shining in the hollow hollow eye sockets.
"Go quickly! Go quickly!"
When the three-armed cult guards saw the two men, they immediately shouted at the top of their lungs. Matnin noticed that one of the guards had three deep claw marks on his face...
"Get out of here! From the other side!"
After saying that, they turned around again and shot at the two approaching monsters. The bullets tore apart the dirty rags and hit the body inside, but only set off a trace of sparks.
At this distance, Matning finally realized that their towering bodies were entirely composed of metal skeletons, and the so-called tattered pieces of clothing were actually human skin... He could even see one of the faces, from
A pure blood angel.
Perhaps provoked by the bullet, one of the monsters instantly accelerated from a leisurely and slow posture to a moment that was difficult to capture with the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, it crossed a distance of more than a hundred meters and came to the sect guard with a scratch on his face.
Amidst the opponent's screams, he cut off both arms.
Then each lightning-like stroke of the claws would peel off traces of flesh and blood from the cult guards, making a discordant noise at the same time, and a crimson energy crackling on the claws.
Under Matnin's trembling gaze, the creature threw away its arms, slicing through the armor, flesh, and bones of the Order's guards with frightening fluidity, vivisecting the screaming victims with scalpel-like grace.
, and drape the victim's flesh, tendons and skin on his own thin body.
"run!"
With a sudden inspiration, Matnin directly opened the thick cloth of the stroller, picked up one of the children, and gave the other to his wife. The two ran backwards like crazy.
He once thought that he had nothing to fear. With the blessing of the Star Emperor, he no longer had anything to fear.
But everything that just happened made him feel like he had returned to the day when he was whipped. Fear once again entangled his soul. Let alone fighting, he could not even face those things anymore.
As the two of them ran without looking back, the other two sect guards were also chopped into pieces. The two monsters did not pursue them, but just enjoyed their "food" leisurely, but three more appeared in the alley.
This monster didn't have much fresh flesh and blood on its body. It was obviously very hungry. After quickly climbing on the wall, it jumped directly into the middle of the dozen or so people.
Amid desperate screams, each thrust of razor-sharp claws was accompanied by a splatter of arterial blood, a crackling hiss and a cackle of death.
Although their legs were weak, the two of them could not and did not dare to look back. They even silently prayed in their hearts that their compatriots could "hold on" longer, or that the monsters would stop chasing them when they were full...
Perhaps the prayers to the Star Emperor had an effect, and those metal monsters seemed to really slow down their ruthless pace.
They walked through the labyrinth of alleys in the ruins of the city, past the half-collapsed church, whose suspended balcony was decorated with gargoyles and whose tall arched windows had been shattered when the cult entered.
, glass shards covered the cobblestone streets, reflecting the gray and gloomy sky.
The ground was wet, pools of coagulated blood gushed out from the potholes, and skinned corpses were scattered and piled up in the alleys.
While running, his wife asked breathlessly:
"Your Majesty, Emperor of the Stars, what on earth is that? I have never seen anything like this..."
"I don't know either. They don't look like humans. They must be something worse anyway. Don't worry, dear, I will protect you."
After confirming that there were no pursuers behind them, the two of them carefully slowed down their pace, not only because they wanted to conserve their physical strength, but they were also worried that the sound of running footsteps would attract more monsters.
