Chapter 1873 A strange attack
The dilapidated city, dark and charred wood, and a large number of burned city objects lying on the street. The street was wet, the water left behind when fighting the fire, mixed with carbon ash and soil to form a black slurry, exuding a strange smoke and stench. The entire street was completely burned by the fire, and the buildings on both sides of the road, whether they were red brick walls or whitewashed residences, were now smoked black.
The street lights have long been turned off, some have collapsed, and some are still standing. There are various marks left on the lampposts, palm prints from hands, puncture holes melted by lightning strikes, and the ground is covered with waste paper and broken furniture, which shows how chaotic the place was when all this happened. And what caused these was not a natural disaster, but a complete man-made disaster.
As Bing Zhixie walked along, he could see that many shops had been robbed, and a lot of blood was sprinkled on the ground. He had not seen any dead people or the bodies of larger monsters yet, but he did see two dead ones. green parrots and several bear-brown rats scurrying about the streets.
There is no one on the street. Just like what he heard when he was in the village, people from Zuri City fled. As for how many people are left in the city, no one may know.
He came here for a purpose, and the purpose was certainly not to provide disaster relief, let alone to eliminate violence. This is what local officials should do. He came because he got a message from the man who called himself Pluto. There was something he wanted to receive, a bit of sincerity in their cooperation.
After walking a few streets, I still saw no one. There was nothing but darkness and devastation, not even a relatively intact building.
The moonlight dragon in the sky fell like a star on a taller building at the corner, making the moonlight on the two adjacent intersecting streets a little brighter, although the brightness was still very dim. But I can see my own shadow clearly.
Bing Zhixie pinched the horse's belly and urged the Pegasus to move forward. The horse wasn't walking very fast, but it wasn't slow either, enough for him to hear any movement nearby clearly. After walking for a while, he saw a bright light. It was a small lamp hanging under the entrance porch of a four-story building on the adjacent street. In fact, there was more than one small light burning nearby, as well as several large lights and searchlights tied to the burned dead trees on the street, or fixed to the rooftops of taller buildings.
These lights are temporarily installed crystal lanterns. The illumination lights are very strong. Apparently someone was working here not too long ago. They should be made by the government's municipal workers, but no one is seen now. .
Suddenly a scream broke the silence, the sound coming from another street. Bing Zhixie jumped into the air from the horseback, jumped over the street, onto the suspension bridge connecting the buildings on both sides, and ran towards the source of the sound.
The screams came from a red three-story building. There was also crying inside, but the sound was very small and it was not very real. Bing Zhixie pushed open the door and quickly reached the second floor following the sound. This was a residence, and he saw a little boy on the stairwell from the second to third floors.
The little boy huddled up on the stairs crying with fear on his face. When he noticed that there was someone suddenly on the wooden stairs, he was so scared that he almost lost his mind.
“Don’t make a noise, don’t be afraid.” Bing Zhixie made no further move.
The little boy screamed and ran upstairs, but stopped before he could climb out of the stairs. He turned around and stared at the visitor in fear, his pale face unable to return to normal for a long time.
Bing Zhixie didn't move. He stopped at the faint light from a wall lamp under the stairs and observed the situation indoors. When he turned back, the little boy was still leaning against the stairs, staring at him and shivering. Bing Zhixie tried to lie to him: "I am a police officer sent from another place. I just called the screamer to come over and see what happened." The little boy was frightened and didn't move or speak. There was a glob of liquid in his crotch running down the stairs.
Bing Zhixie jumped upstairs from the boy's side. There was a cave-in that had been burned by the attic window on the third floor. Under the collapsed rubble, there was a burning Jiao's arms and half of her face were exposed, and it could be roughly seen that she was a woman. She was completely unrecognizable and her appearance was very terrifying.
The little boy was probably frightened by the appearance of the charred corpse before he screamed. It was most likely his mother. At this time, he was standing at the gap on the roof and heard the sound of fighting again. He immediately flew out from the window, led by Moonlight Dragon and running towards the direction of the fighting with Pegasus.
The distance from the fight was quite far, because the city’s teleportation facilities were destroyed, so we could only fly across the rooftops. As soon as he rushed to a place that was still half way away from the fighting site, the fighting in the distance stopped. When he arrived, there were only a dozen traces of fresh destruction, a large amount of blood, and five corpses left on the street and nearby buildings. Two seriously injured monsters.
He had seen the guards of Zuli City before, because they all wore similar standard armor and sabers. One of the five corpses was wearing the standard armor of the Zuri Guards, and the armor was also branded with the heraldry of Zuri City. , the other four people were dressed differently. Bing Zhixie jumped to a high place, and the Moonlight Dragon circled in the sky without noticing it, which made him a little confused.
The message from the King of the Underworld to him said that he should come to Zuri City in Enarivo, and the helpers sent would find him through the magic mark left on him during the initial fight. But Zuri City is a big city with a population of over a million. Now that most of the city has been destroyed, it is still difficult to find it.
In the sky, the Moonlight Dragon groaned and landed on the house across the street. It seemed that it had discovered something. Bing Zhixie walked over and walked into the alley below the Moonlight Dragon. The alley was about one meter wide, and there was a large tank for garbage in the middle. He immediately heard a breathing sound behind the tank, and the breathing was still accelerating. Apparently, the appearance of the Moonlight Dragon made the person hiding here become nervous. .
"Come out." Bing Zhixie stood at the entrance of the alley and shouted softly. The person inside did not move, but he heard something strange from the breathing inside. This person seemed to be injured. Very heavy. He jumped over the vat, and sure enough he saw an injured man behind the vat. He had many large and small wounds on his body. The most serious thing was a fist-sized hole in the front of the chest plate, which was bleeding out. It seemed to be deeply hurt.
Bing Zhixie saw that he was wearing Zuli’s standard armor. He was probably an officer and soldier of Zuli. He took out the hemostatic medicine from the medicine pocket he carried under his feather robe and sprinkled it on the wound on the man’s chest. .
The man gasped in pain and said in a trembling voice: "Little... heart..."
Bing Zhixie looked up and saw the Moonlight Dragon hanging on the edge of the eaves above, stretching its neck to look, and then he heard Outside the street, there was the low neighing of Pegasus and the sound of horse hooves approaching at a fast pace. He immediately stood up and rushed out of the alley, facing a strong cold wind.
