Chapter 168 Plot Inertia Damn Negligence (please vote)
"The last member of the Buckner family. Their little zombie daughter."
Quagma held up the wine glass and drank it down. With a playful smile on his lips, he joked to Rango: "Did you just see it? Rango, the old man named Martin actually thought he could escape and even fantasized about revenge." ,Hahaha"
As if he had heard a big joke, Quagma laughed heartily, his eyes filled with sarcasm and mockery of the old Martin being penetrated through the neck on the screen.
Lange did not continue, but asked seriously: "According to the rules you mentioned before, is this sacrifice equivalent to completion?"
"certainly."
Quagma responded confidently: "The slutty woman, the fool, the athlete, and the wise man all died in that order. As for Esther, she was just added in to complete the role of virgin. Will she die?" It doesn’t matter anymore.”
At this moment, there was a sudden violent tremor in the base, as if the earth was shaking, indicating the awakening of some unknown power.
The staff have long been accustomed to this kind of scene. Every year when offering sacrifices, the big thing under their feet will make some noise, just like ordinary people turning over while sleeping.
"Look, the ancient god can't wait to taste the rest of the people." Quagma commanded his men, pulling the mechanisms of the dead in order, as if performing a mysterious ritual.
After Lango confirmed the completion of the sacrifice, he turned his attention back to the screen, and the bumpy RV became the focus of everyone's attention.
Old Martin's body lay quietly on the driver's seat, his eyes wide open, as if telling unfinished sorrow and unwillingness; while Esther was curled up in the passenger seat, and her terrified screams echoed in the small space. inside the carriage.
After finishing off a living person, the zombie girl slowly turned her head and looked at Esther with cold eyes.
Many people in the base couldn't bear to look away after seeing this scene. Although they knew that the little girl was a dwarf and her real age was even over thirty years old, they still couldn't bear to see this scene.
call out--!
The dagger was stabbed towards her quickly. There was no slow-moving characteristic of zombies in this zombie named Buckner family.
Zheng!
A string of sparks suddenly lit up in the dark carriage. At this critical moment, Esther quickly took out the fruit knife she was going to use to kill her family from her pocket and narrowly blocked it. This time.
"Oh hoo."
In front of the surveillance TV, everyone exclaimed when they saw this scene. Many staff members who were preparing to return to their posts also stopped and looked at this interesting scene.
Is there going to be a Loli war in the end?
Dwarf female loli fights zombie loli.
It sounds interesting!
But it is a pity that Esther is just an ordinary person in the final analysis, just like Emma in the past. Putting aside the disguised child mask, her combat power is not even as good as that of a bigger dog.
In the rickety space of the RV, she tried her best to escape. At first, she was lucky enough to escape the zombies' pursuit, but her physical strength could not keep up after all, and she was forced into a corner soon.
Seeing the zombies getting closer and closer, Esther's face turned pale with fear, but she also felt a fierceness in her despair. She clenched the fruit knife in her hand, already thinking of fighting her desperately.
Bang!
At this moment, an accident happened! Because no one was controlling the steering wheel, the RV hit a tree on the side of the road. After a violent shaking, the car rolled over and Esther was thrown out of the window.
Seeing this scene, many staff in the base who were still looking forward to some bloody scene booed in disappointment, and then dispersed.
As Quagma said before, the sacrifice has been almost completed by now, and it doesn't matter whether the remaining Esther is dead or alive.
Lange also shook his head, turned and left the hall. He knew in his heart that Esther was in danger now, but then again, none of these five people were innocent, and they deserved to die.
Even Catherine, who had an affair with him, had innocent blood on her hands, just think of it as belated retribution.
"Hey, Rango, what do you want to do?"
Seeing that Lango was about to leave, Lao Qiao immediately tried to persuade him: "There will be a grander party later."
"Forget it." Lange waved his hand without looking back, "The people in your base can just participate by themselves. I'll go out and take a breath."
After saying that, he went out of the hall alone and followed the corridor to Abel's lounge. At this time, the fish man was diving in a fish tank that was larger than the swimming pool.
Mavis was casually looking through Abel's collection of books, while Yumi looked longingly at Abel who was like an elf in the water in the fish tank, and her saliva was almost drooling.
“What a big fish”
Abel, who couldn't stand being stared at, couldn't help but pop his head out of the water, and explained in his gentle voice: "Although my internal structure is similar to that of a fish, my appearance is more like a human, so It is an unethical thought for you to have an appetite for me.”
"But your head looks like a fish head." Youmi looked at him with wide eyes and couldn't help but lick her lips, "I love eating fish heads the most."
"."
After Lango came closer and heard their conversation, he couldn't help laughing and touched Yumi's head.
Although this little guy is small, he has an astonishing appetite. Even after eating his own share of fresh fish every day, he will secretly grab Toothless's share. He is a real greedy little cat.
"Lango, is it over over there?" Seeing him coming, Abel surfaced and asked.
"Yes." Lange nodded, "Except for the virgin, the other four are dead. It seems that our world can be stable for another year."
Abel sighed and said: "I have a premonition that sooner or later something will happen to this sacrifice. Even before this sacrifice, I had a strong premonition that something might go wrong, but fortunately it went smoothly." It’s over.”
His eyes became extremely solemn, and he looked directly at Lango, his tone full of worry: "Putting the fate of the world on a farce-like sacrifice ceremony, and having to do it once a year, just to please the people below. God, this experience is like walking on a tightrope, and every step is full of danger. We must find another way."
Lange nodded slightly when he heard this. He had this idea when he first learned about the existence of [The Cabin in the Forest].
However, the reality is cruel. According to what Quagma described, human weapons are currently unable to cause harm to the ancient gods.
“I think the power of technology won’t work anymore.”
Abel muttered to himself again, and then changed the topic, "I once persuaded Quagma to join forces with the dark world, and even the big shots in heaven and hell to eliminate the ancient gods, but he did not agree with me. He He believes that heaven and hell are two separate worlds and will not interfere with human affairs. He is a very stubborn person and I can't persuade him at all."
He looked at Lango and said earnestly: "Lango, your father Peter is his best friend. He will definitely listen to your opinion. Please help persuade him. Lucifer from hell and the archangels in heaven can help." , coupled with those ancestor-level dark creatures, it might be possible to completely wipe out the ancient gods!"
Lango gently stroked the cat lying in her arms and did not directly answer Abel's words.
Lucifer was very strong. Although he had only met him once, his ability to heal the cracks in hell with a wave of his hand left a very deep impression on him.
The archangels in heaven are also very strong. If it hadn't been for Clare's magic-forbidden formation last time, I would have been no match for the black-skinned birdman.
Among the dark creatures, not to mention Mavis' father Dracula, he is like a creator who can make any object larger or smaller, and even has the same powerful ability to stop time as those angels.
But are they really the opponents of the ancient gods?
Lango recalled the ancient god Titan in the movie who just stretched out an arm from the center of the earth and shattered the entire earth, with a wry smile on his face.
The ability to destroy a planet with just a raise of his hand was completely beyond his imagination. Although old Dracula and the others were also very strong, they were not that strong yet.
And himself
Lango glanced at the system progress on his wrist. After summoning the cat, the progress bar was cleared again. This time, the energy required to fully charge was definitely more than last time, even twice as much. It's possible.
Although his strength has progressed very quickly, it still doesn't have much effect compared to the crisis he faces. "Useless Abel, they will not be the opponents of the ancient gods." Lange said solemnly: "The safest way at present is to continue the sacrificial ceremony first, give me some time, ten years or two In ten years, maybe the situation will change by then.”
Even if the progress is slow, twenty years will be enough for him to upgrade four or five times. He believes that by then, he should have the strength to face the ancient gods.
"twenty years"
When Abel heard this, he became even more worried: "I always feel that within five years, something will definitely go wrong in the sacrificial ceremony. Unfortunately, our world seems to be unable to find a stronger existence than the ancient gods."
Lange was slightly startled when he heard this, his hand sucking the cat suddenly stopped, and a sudden thought exploded in his mind.
Since there is no one stronger than the Ancient God in this world, why not go to other worlds and find a few?
He remembered what Yumi once said, the man with an S on his chest, the weirdo flying in the air wearing armor, the company that cultivates superpowers
"Ha"
Rango picked up Youmi, kissed her hard, and rubbed her dazed little head affectionately, "Abel, I have thought of a way."
"Um?"
Abel scratched his head in confusion. This guy just kissed the kitten. Why did he come up with a solution?
"I have a plan"
Ding ding ding——! ! !
Suddenly, a rapid and piercing alarm bell suddenly sounded, interrupting Lango's words. The lights around the base instantly turned to dazzling red, and the alarms sounded one after another!
"This is."
Abel's expression changed drastically when he heard the unprecedented alarm sound, "Fake! Something happened in the prison!"
A moment ago, in the mountains and forests.
Next to the RV that was hit and scrapped, Esther struggled to get up from the ground with her last bit of strength. Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, there was a soft sound in the RV. She turned her head and looked, her face suddenly full of despair.
The little zombie girl crawled out of the car unscathed, staring at her with blank eyes.
Esther didn't even have time to panic. She rolled and crawled in one direction and ran away, but after taking a few steps, she felt her feet tripped and fell heavily to the ground.
In panic, she caught a glimpse of a half-open wooden board, with a faint light coming from inside, like a glimmer of life in the darkness.
Without hesitation, she lifted the wooden board and jumped into a narrow and smelly pipe corridor. The surroundings were filled with the smell of rotting corpses and disgusting filth. It was obvious that the zombies that appeared before came from here.
Although her heart was filled with fear and disgust, when she thought of the zombie girl above, Esther could only grit her teeth and move on.
At the end of the corridor, a lonely elevator loomed in sight. The only button on the elevator seemed to be her only way out.
She pressed the button without hesitation, and when the elevator door slowly opened, she found herself in a strange space composed of countless cubes, each of which contained a terrifying monster imprisoned.
At this time, the guards and staff in front of the surveillance area were preparing to sacrifice and celebrate, and no one noticed this inconsequential dwarf girl.
Esther wandered in fear and confusion until a sudden shock broke the calm again.
The elevator door opened again, and the little zombie girl came here, but strangely, she seemed to have lost interest in Esther, and instead turned her attention to the trapped monsters and the central control room.
There was no one in the control room, and the guards were immersed in celebration in the hall, unaware of the impending disaster.
The little zombie girl walked to the red wrench in the center, tilted her head and looked at it curiously, and then held it without hesitation.
At the same time, in the base hall, Abel had just finished speaking, Lango realized the seriousness of the situation. He quickly started the sports car and returned to the hall as quickly as possible.
Quagma was furious at a group of busy staff. Seeing Lango's return, he eagerly asked for help as if grasping a life-saving straw: "The little zombie girl from the Buckner family broke into the base and opened the prison door. Master switch! Rango, we need your help!"
After hearing this, Lange asked in disbelief: "Waterfa? How could she, a zombie with an unconscious mind, have the ability to open the prison?"
He remembered that Abel had taken him to see the complex control system of the prison. Every movement required precise instructions, but now, a little zombie girl had easily opened all the cells.
"this"
Quagma explained with regret on his face: "It's all that bastard Pete's fault. When he built the cell, he insisted on setting up a simple red wrench as an emergency backup. He said that if the ancient gods rebelled, he would release all the monsters at once and die together. . But now, this stupid design has become our disaster!”
Lange sighed helplessly. Although Peter was his father, he really wanted to curse at this moment.
Are those guys just trying to die with the ancient gods? Just scratching the itch is more than enough!
“But that’s not important anymore. I have more urgent things to deal with now than the prison.”
Quagma's words were interrupted by a sudden tremor in the foundation, and his face was so gloomy that it seemed like it could drip water, "We sacrificed the blood of four people, but the ancient god was not satisfied at all. There must be something wrong. I'm going downstairs to negotiate with that bastard. If things don't go right, today will be the day the world is destroyed."
"Fake."
Lange was furious, grabbed Quagma's collar, and roared angrily, "I told you to be more careful, but you still made a mistake. You let me down Quagma! "
"Sorry Lango, this was my mistake. If the negotiation goes smoothly, I will bear all the consequences."
Quagma held Lango's hand tightly with a firm look in his eyes: "Now I will negotiate with the ancient gods, and the prison will be left to you. We must not let them all escape from the base! Otherwise we can only activate the nuclear bomb and self-destruct."
Lango took a deep breath and asked, "What's going on over there now?"
"Due to the hypnotic potion, although most of the monsters are still trapped, a small number of them have escaped. Old Joe is taking Hellboy and the others to solve them."
Quagma spoke very fast: "But the real threat lies in the thousands of powerful monsters that have not been released from the cage. They receive excessive doses of sleeping gas every day. Once they wake up, the consequences will be disastrous. The road to the prison has been blocked. The monsters are blocking it, and it’s difficult for our people to get close. We need you to use extreme speed to pull back the wrench and close them again before they wake up!”
".shet!"
Lange cursed angrily in displeasure. He wanted to beat Quagma, but he also knew that today's problem was not just with Quagma. Because of years of slack, all the staff in the base had their faults. Responsibility that cannot be lost.
He let go of Quagma and said in a deep voice: "Be careful, I don't want you to piss off the ancient god after the riot in the prison is suppressed."
Quagma was not as relaxed as before. He narrowed his eyes and responded: "When your parents were still alive, we had communicated with the ancient god together. Although he was angry this time, he was not angry enough to destroy the world. It should be I just have some minor problems, so I’ll leave first.”
Looking at the guy's hurried back, Lango turned his head and glanced at the monitor on the screen.
I saw that the corridor leading to the prison was blocked layer by layer by dark creatures. Old Qiao was like a berserker possessed. The wheelchair in his hand seemed to have turned into a battle axe. He supported the ground with one hand and swung the wheelchair with the other hand, killing blood and flesh. Even the Baron, who was fighting a hellhound beast, hid aside in fear for fear of being accidentally injured by this guy.
However, the strongest guys are still in prison and have not yet been released.
Rango took a deep breath, shrugged helplessly at Mavis and Yumi who were floating in the air next to him, and walked to the cell.
Oh wait, he still has something to get.
