Chapter 74 Ghost Tide
The carriage was parked on the edge of a gravel path covered in dust, and Donald's eyes stayed on the weeds that had already spread across the wheel axles before turning his head toward the ruined town in the distance.
Nearly half of the sunset is below the farther horizon, and the remaining blood-colored sunsets are splashing on the strange and rugged buildings in the town.
When the wind blew by, some dust and sand tumbling up. After walking a few steps forward, the sound of the group of scavengers flapped their wings and flew straight into the distance from a bush next to the road.
"I don't believe this place if it's okay."
Donald, who had barely cheered up, looked at the ruins ahead, secretly glanced at Lilo, who was eager to try, and said helplessly.
"If it were no problem, the government would have started to rebuild the town here long ago. How could it be that it would be idle and covered with weeds?"
No matter what, the foundation of this town is. Although it has not been inhabited for nearly twenty years, the streets and buildings in the city will not collapse into dust because of this time. As long as you are willing to spend time repairing and repairing, it is more convenient than finding a place to rebuild a city.
The Emerald County government has ignored this place for so many years and regarded it as a forbidden area. There must be something wrong with it, and there is no doubt about it.
"I have read the description of this in "Special Zone". This city was originally a medium-sized town with a population of about 80,000, but due to the emergence of a special disease, the death toll in the entire town increased rapidly in a short period of time. The book said that at the beginning, Emerald County seemed to have sent quite a lot of people to come here for rescue operations, but less than one-third of the people who left in the end. I guess they should have been infected and could not leave. Then, the Emerald County government chose to block the town in order to ensure that this disease did not spread to other towns and caused a larger epidemic."
Anthony took out a brown cover book from his backpack, turned over a few pages, and found the content he had accidentally flipped out before.
The so-called blockade of the town is definitely a matter of coldness placed on the town itself for the sake of the safety of Emerald County.
"I think we should consider it carefully. There are no doctors in our team and I don't know if there are any remaining viruses in that town. The mechanical mask on our hands does not have the function of filtering viruses. If it is contaminated with the body, we have no treatment methods at all in a short time. We can only go back to the nearest Komuer. You should not want to go back to Komuer, right?"
In Anthony's view, where there are unknown dangers, going in without preparation is tantamount to taking risks with his own life.
What's more, even if they want to prepare, they don't have the conditions to do so. First of all, they know some superficial information about the ruins of the epidemic, and they don't know anything about what happened inside.
Secondly, let alone cities nearby, because of the existence of the epidemic ruins, there is not even a village. If you want to find someone nearby to ask about the situation, you can't go to other cities in Jade County for this. You should know that according to the map, it takes two days to ride a carriage in the nearest city. Then, look for insiders and obtain information. One round trip may be at least one week.
They didn't go out for an outing
"I understand what you mean, and I understand that the epidemic ruins are dangerous, but now it's not that I want to go in, but Lilo wants to go in. She said that there are things in the epidemic ruins that strengthen her body. You didn't see the urgent appearance she woke me up before. To be honest, I can't stop her, and I have no right to stop her."
He moved two steps to the side and sat on the stone next to him, raised his hand and kneaded his eyebrows. He was forced to cry out from his mental rest before, and Donald's spirit had only recovered by about 50% at best, but he was still dizzy now, and Lilo's condition made him feel even more troubled.
If this high-level undead really doesn't obey the command, can Donald forcefully stop her?
"Lilo wants to go in? Is it possible for her to slow her down for a while? Maybe she can wait until we finish the task and return here as usual. Then we will have enough time to prepare."
When talking about Lilo, Anthony was a little surprised. No wonder Donald suddenly turned the carriage and couldn't wait to come here. It turned out to be the request of this "big boss".
Since she learned that Lilo was a high-level undead and had saved Donald many times, Anthony's impression of her was a strong man who was hidden.
Lilo helped too much along the way. It can be said that if she hadn't been there, the two of them would have fallen into the sewer of Corta. What's commendable is that she had no requirements at all, and she didn't have any money or other strange things, as if only lemonade and ice cream would be enough.
However, it was precisely her past lack of requests that Donald and Anthony had no idea how to refuse under the premise of her first request for the first time.
This is also the reason why Donald said he was not qualified to refuse.
"I'll try?"
In the end, Donald could only look at Anthony with a confused face and asked.
Give up here first and solve it after you come back. Just like Donald's method of treating Salazar, the holder of the Power of Destruction, this is undoubtedly the best choice right now.
Seeing that the sunset was about to sink completely into the horizon, Donald knew that he could not continue to procrastinate here, so he could only walk towards Lilo, who was standing by the carriage, as if he was looking at the ruins ahead.
"Lilo, can we?"
"Come!"
After Donald approached, he was about to speak, Lilo suddenly exhaled an obscure syllable in a deep voice. He could understand the meaning of the syllable, but he didn't understand the meaning of Lilo's words.
Come?
Is this going to let yourself pass?
"You said, I'm listening."
After approaching Lilo, Donald simply said in Lilo's words.
Who knew that Li Luo turned her head and looked at him in surprise at this time, and said calmly: "I'm not talking to you."
This is very embarrassing.
"Then who do you want to come over and I'll call them?"
Since they are not talking to themselves, they are talking to Anthony and the others. Although they don’t know what Lilo is going to do for them, at least it’s okay to pass on a message.
“They are here.”
This time, the words appeared in Donald's mind by spiritual transmission, and the latter subconsciously looked at the people behind him.
No one was walking here.
In fact, their eyes were all focused on the location of the ruins of the epidemic.
"Donald, there seems to be some accident in the ruins of the epidemic."
Anthony raised his hand and pointed forward with a somewhat ugly face, then said,
"I should say we have too good or too bad luck?"
Stephanie and Julia didn't say anything, and walked two steps to Donald and pulled his clothes, his face pale.
"What's wrong, in the ruins of the epidemic"
Donald opened his mouth and looked at the ruins in the distance. His words stopped halfway, but he couldn't say the second half.
Outside the disease ruins about 500 meters away, when the last ray of light left after the setting sun sank into the horizon dissipated, the moment the night first came, a large blue-green spot of light suddenly lit up there and was constantly moving towards them.
When he got closer, Donald saw their true appearance. Then he trembled slightly like electricity, and the scalp on the back of his head became numb.
Translucent spirits with dark blue or light green, Donald knew their origins at a glance - ghosts.
But this number is too much
Thousands of ghosts were piled up densely, approaching them!
"Donald, I think I know why this place became a forbidden area. We have to leave. It's still time to retreat now!"
Faced with such a huge ghost wave, Anthony prepared to retreat without thinking. Stephanie and Julia did not hesitate and turned around and were about to board the carriage.
"Is this what you called?"
Combined with the sudden shout of "Come" by Lilo, Donald smacked his lips, and after a long time he put it on another sentence,
"Your friend?"
As a high-level undead, Lilo had sensed the extremely strong dead energy here even though she had been a few kilometers away, so she forced Donald and the others to turn, and she found these ghosts.
To be precise, it is the special energy that exists in these ghost bodies.
On the other hand, these ghosts who had been sleeping in the ruins of the disease for a long time were suddenly awakened by orders from high-level undeads. They appeared from the ruins not to reminisce about the past, but to completely remove the alien undead who had entered their territory without authorization!
In terms of single strength, they are incomparable to Lilo, so let’s drown her with a ghost tide!
Most of the undead tide were ordinary human-shaped ghosts. They stretched forward with their hands, blurred below their waists, and their faces drifted forward with ferocious expressions. Some were particularly tall and bloated like a huge translucent ball of flesh, with dark green eyes glowing. As they walked forward, they grabbed the ghost beside them and kept filling their stomachs, and their bodies were still rising.
Some of them floated in the air, with a very solid figure compared to other ghosts. Under them, there seemed to be an extremely strange and distorted ghost collection, but most of them were covered by the bloated resentful spirits around them, and they could not see their true appearance clearly.
Trepid ~
As the distance narrowed, a sharp roar erupted from the ghost tide and resounded throughout the wasteland nearby!
"They all have to die!"
Lilo did not have any thoughts of retreating because of the intimidation from the other side, these are the materials she likes.
He pulled out the long sword from his waist, and the golden light suddenly burst out. Then, regardless of how Donald reacted, he held the holy light weapon and galloped towards the ghost wave.
Limbs, chest, head, and a set of white bone armor emerged from outside the skin and quickly formed.
Herody ~
A white bone war horse rushed out of the land under her feet, shook off all the mud and sand, and became her car.
At this moment, Liluo seemed to have become the high-level undead who was slaughtering endlessly in the underworld.
