The atmosphere on the first floor is still extremely strange. The surrounding area is pitch black, with only the firelight of the weapons in the hands of the tiger man youth and the cat man boy for illumination. The cat people have been exposed to the light of the Guardian Tower for many years, and they are all used to it. At night, the house
There is not even a basic night light in there.
The tiger searched everywhere in the darkness, and of course the first place he looked for was the backyard.
"Auntie! Auntie?" Albert lowered his voice and called with a subtle volume that could be heard within ten yards, but this voice was just low-key enough not to attract all kinds of monsters in the forest. Because Rufu's home
If you are too close to the suburbs of Melson Stone, you will be easily attacked by monsters. Now that even the light of the Guardian Tower has disappeared, this place will definitely become the first place attacked by monsters, which is quite dangerous.
"She is not here." Mutt also whispered: "I doubt whether she is still in this room. There is no human breath everywhere."
"You want to say that Auntie has taken refuge in the Guardian Tower, meow?" Albert asked, "Her eyesight is bad and her legs and feet are inconvenient. She should have relied on the light of the Guardian Tower to move at night.
.Do you think she can really reach the Guardian Tower safely, meow?"
"Humph, well------" Mutt walked up to Albert and illuminated the ground with the flame of the dagger in his hand.
This is not a soft and slippery muddy ground. In fact, it is quite dry and is made of dry soil. Normal people would leave almost no footprints when walking on the road. However, there are strange hollows left on the ground, about
They are as thick as two fingers. These strange hollows extend one after another into the distance, and they indeed extend towards the direction of the Guardian Tower.
Albert took a few glances and understood that this was the dent made by Rufu's mother's cane. It was precisely because Rufu's mother had limited flexibility in her legs and feet that she needed the support of a cane to walk normally, so when she walked
The body also subconsciously tilted towards the side with the cane. The cat woman pressed almost all her body on the cane, and the support point at the end of the cane left one hole after another on the hard dry soil.
These are undoubtedly the "footprints" of Rufu's mother. Rufu's mother has undoubtedly walked in the direction of the Guardian Tower, and there is no way she can stay in this wooden house.
In that case------
"Let's go over and take a look at the situation." Tiger said, "Follow me. I don't know what the situation in the city has become. You must be prepared to protect yourself at any time."
"How many times have I told you, I am not a combatant--" Mutt hummed in a low voice, "You should protect me!"
"Are you still a child, meow?" Albert was too lazy to pay attention to Mutt, chasing the "footprints" left by Rufu's mother, and ran towards the Guardian Tower.
Although the crystal on the top of the Guardian Tower no longer emits light, it is not particularly dark and windy tonight, and the light of the stars and moon can still barely illuminate the way to the Guardian Tower. The tiger ran all the way, realizing along the way
The path he followed the footprints was a straight line, which was already the shortest route to the Guardian Tower.
I don’t know when Rufu’s mother left for the Guardian Tower, but judging from the woman’s walking speed, the tower must have stopped glowing on her way to the tower. She has poor eyesight.
What method did Rufu's mother rely on to find the shortest route to the tower in the darkness? This is really a mystery.
"Wait! Wait for me!" Albert couldn't help but run faster. The cat boy chasing behind the tiger was really chasing him hard. When Mutt saw that he was about to be left behind, he shouted, asking the tiger to stop.
Come down.
"Oh, hurry up!" At this time, the tiger man had almost forgotten that Mutt needed to recuperate after the operation. Only when the cat man caught up weakly did the tiger remember it."
Can’t run anymore?"
"No, it won't work!" Mutt was out of breath from exhaustion, and his reply was extremely weak.
Albert picked up the cat-man boy with one hand and lifted him on his shoulders.
"Whoa, ah, ah, what are you doing, meow?! Let go!"
"Didn't you say you can't run on your own, meow? Can't you run if I carry you on my back?" said the tiger.
"No, don't use this awkward posture!" Mutt said with a red face: "Carry me."
"You brat has so many demands." Albert then changed his position and carried Mutt on his back. He grabbed the Luna Steel Scimitar that served as a torch with his free hand, and held Mutt firmly with his other hand.
The little kitten's butt said, "Hold me tight, don't fall behind."
"Yeah------" Although he was extremely reluctant, Mutt agreed in a low voice. In order not to be thrown away in the fierce running, the cat boy had to hold his hands tightly except for the hand holding the dagger.
He hugged Tiger's shoulders, clamped Albert's waist with his legs, and hugged him tightly. His face was right behind Albert's neck, and his butt was being held by Tiger's big palm. Mu
Te's face became even redder and hotter, which was an indescribable embarrassment--even though he knew that Albert only regarded him as a child.
However, this embarrassment only lasted for about ten minutes, because Albert ran very fast and soon arrived in the city.
At this moment, the city of Melson Stone is also dark, and the only source of light in the entire city is probably the weapons (torches) in the hands of Albert and Mutt. Every household is closed, and there should be businesses open at night.
Places like pubs are also dark, and God knows what has become of the people inside.
Albert originally wanted to run over and take a look at the situation inside the bar, but the top priority was to rush to the Guardian Tower to check what was going on, so he ignored the situation in the city and ran straight to the tower in the center of the city.
When Albert came to the tower, the first thing he saw was a large barbed wire guardrail. The guardrail seemed to be electrified. But the cat-man guard standing guard on the sentry side had no response no matter how he called.
Burt then used his hand to explore the catman's nose - there was still breathing, but it was extremely weak. The catman guard lying on the table of the sentry seemed to have fallen into an unusually deep state.
It is not easy to wake up from the sleeping state.
"Well, when are you going to let me down?" The cat boy who was being carried by Albert complained at this time: "Don't you need to run?"
"Oh, right------" Tiger put down Mutt with one hand and teased: "So you can walk on your own, little kitten?"
As soon as Mutt stood firm, he rolled his eyes at Albert.
However, the tiger did not see the protesting eyes of the cat-man boy at all. Instead, he used a torch (Luna Steel Scimitar) to shine all over the panel of the sentry, and found the switch that opened the large iron gate in front of the fence.
Rumble, rumble, rumble------Amidst a low noise of bearing sliding, the iron gate opened. The surrounding fences were still powered, so Albert would not be so stupid to climb, of course.
Go in through the main entrance.
"Well, they also ------" Mutt said, pointing to the two doormen in front of the tower. The doormen also fell to the ground and fell into an unusually deep sleep.
