Chapter 60 Hiding

The change happened too fast.

The weak woman just now turned into a devouring monster in the blink of an eye.

Before anyone could make a move, the woman swallowed the flesh and blood in her mouth, opened her bloody mouth again, and with a crunching sound, she bit open the other person's throat with her second bite. A large number of blood bubbles came from

The words came out of the sergeant's mouth, his limbs twitched, and blood splattered on the ground beneath him.

Alfonso was the first to react. He sat up suddenly from the ground and rushed forward a few steps. His big sword drew a spark on the stone on the ground, and the blade swung out from bottom to top.

A perfect half-moon slash. The sword shadow shone with cold light, red blood splashed, and the monster's head flew into the air.

With the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, the camp returned to calm.

A church guard rolled up to the sergeant's side. The man's breathing became weaker and weaker, and his body became colder, making him turn around and shake his head.

With an inaudible sigh, Alfonso slowly walked to the monster's body, and his followers also followed.

Walton kicked the headless body with his feet, tilted his head and asked his companion: "Leslie, from your perspective, is this woman a mutant?"

The boy with the red lines on his forehead knelt down on one knee to check it out. After thinking about it for a while, he said, "It doesn't look like it."

The knight held the big sword and found the woman's severed head in the camp, turning it at an angle with his toes. Todd came closer and saw some strange places at the junction of the cervical vertebrae through the surrounding firelight.

There was not only blood and nerve fluid flowing out, but also some light black stuff. Curious, he squatted down and observed it carefully. After seeing clearly what it was, he immediately stepped back with his scalp numb.

What kind of light black liquid is that? It is clearly countless black insects, condensed together!

Leslie walked behind Todd and saw this scene, with a surprised look on his face. He walked to the knight's side and whispered something quickly.

The priest got a little closer and heard the words "Puppet" and "Relief Society".

Putting his swords behind his back and facing the town, Alfonso said to his men: "You stay here and guard the carriage."

Upon hearing this, the short, fat man Walton and the white-robed woman Adelina immediately expressed their opposition: "Boss, we want to go too!"

"You can't help." The knight moved, but found Leslie standing in front of him.

"What about me? I can always help."

After thinking for a moment, the man hidden behind the iron mask nodded and agreed to the boy's request.

To his surprise, Todd and Karin also came to him and asked to accompany him. Perhaps because he remembered something, he finally agreed to let them follow him.

A group of four people packed up their belongings, walked out of the gate of the camp, and walked towards the town that was drowned in flames and howling.

If they hadn't been here once, Todd and Karin would never recognize the scene in front of them as belonging to Watchtown, which is famous for its tourism and food.

Scattered tables and chairs blocked the roads of the town, and the spreading red flames ignited the quiet garden. Pools of dark red blood and scattered human remains could be seen everywhere on the ground, reminding visitors that the tragedy would happen once it happened.

Happened here not long ago.

Along the way, no one's voice could be heard, but no trace of anyone could be seen. The street was eerily quiet, with the crackling sound of fire becoming the only background sound.

After turning a few corners along the alley and walking uphill for five minutes, the tall and majestic figure of Watch Castle appeared in the distance at the end of the town.

"If we can get there and find the defenders inside, we will be relatively safe." Todd said to the others.

Shh!

Alfonso suddenly put his finger on his lips, beckoning everyone to look up.

Karin turned sideways, looked up towards the roadside, took a breath, and was so frightened by the scene in front of her that her eyes widened.

A corpse was hung on a tree like stored food. Two people, covered in blood, squatted on the branches, burying their heads in the corpse's chest and abdomen. The harsh gnawing and swallowing sounds made people's hair stand on end.

Taking a step back, the knight planned to find another way around this place. However, he found that the priest behind him patted his shoulder heavily and pointed to both sides of the team.

Above and below the ramp, two groups of slow-moving infected people came, sandwiching the team of four in the middle.

Surrounded!

The danger gradually approached, making Todd's temples jump.

Alfonso turned around and began to examine the terrain around him. A small commercial street was built on a hillside cliff. On one side were trees planted along the cliff, and on the other side were solid row houses. There was nowhere to retreat and nowhere to go.

Can hide.

Turning around and walking to the door of the nearest house, he touched the building boards of the house with his hands. The walls were made of a mixture of masonry and stone, and the door leaf was made of hard pine wood. He took a few steps back, pointed one shoulder at the door, and

The run-up was coupled with a collision. The huge impact echoed throughout the street, and the hut was slightly shaken by the impact.

but!

The door was not knocked open!

Todd looked in through the crack in the door and finally understood the reason. Behind the door, a steel door bolt was embedded in the wall and the back of the door, firmly fixing the door panel.

The priest was stunned. Didn’t you say that people in the past didn’t pick up things on the road and didn’t close their homes at night? What’s the point of putting such a big iron rod behind the door?!

The sound of banging on the door attracted the attention of the monsters, and roars resounded all around. The enemies at both ends of the road accelerated their pace, and the two guys eating on the tree also jumped down and rushed towards the team. The situation gradually became worse.

developing in the worst direction.

Alfonso clenched the sword in his hand and began to count the number of monsters. There were about fifty enemies. Although they did not move quickly, if they were attacked from the front, it would definitely not be an easy thing to deal with.

Karin, who was in the team, bit her lip when she saw the scene before her. She suddenly took out a dagger from her arms and struck wildly on the door panel, drilling a small hole of two centimeters in size.

He immediately understood what she wanted to do. Todd grabbed the girl's clothes with his hands. As soon as he shouted the word "no" in his mouth, the girl disappeared from the door. The sound of a pebble falling to the ground came from the other side of the door.

came from one end. After a while, the heavy door opened.

Alfonso and Leslie first looked at the opened door, and then took a deep look at Karin.

When Todd walked into the house, the first thing he did was to protect the girl behind him, and at the same time he looked warily at the Holy See Knight and the retinue around him.

What surprised him was that the two people belonging to the Inquisition did not ask any questions, as if nothing happened just now, they turned around and bolted the door.

Soon, the infected swarmed in, slapping and knocking on the door panels and walls. The four of them faced away with their backs outwards and faces inwards, firmly resisting the only barrier in front of them.

After another two or three minutes, a sound that sounded like a wild beast howling wildly came from outside the house. It was deafening, piercing the clouds and cracking the rocks.

The infected people outside stopped their movements and stopped attacking.

The floor beneath my feet began to tremble, and dust fell from the wooden beams of the roof.

A humanoid creature nearly two meters tall walked slowly from the far side of the street. When passing by a house, he came to the door of the team's hiding place and stopped. The space inside the house suddenly darkened, and the moon and flames

All light was blocked by the huge monster outside the door.

After staying for a while, the humanoid creature left and walked towards the direction of the Watch Fortress. Vibrations similar to the tail of a rattlesnake were heard from time to time in the bright red flesh and blood film on his back.

Those stagnant infected people moved their bodies again, followed step by step, and walked into the distance.
