Chapter 421 I’ve been waiting for a long time
A dark staircase leads directly to the underground. Several torches on the thick stone wall are shining with faint firelight. Moisture-condensed water droplets drip from the top of the head and hit the ground with a monotonous sound. .
From the end of the stairs, occasional roars and wailing sounds could be heard faintly, making the deep stairs seem even more dead.
Following the clicking footsteps, a tall figure walked down the dim stairs.
A figure of at least two meters tall, wearing a cloak that almost touches the floor. Even his head is covered by the hood of the cloak. Under the shadow of the cloak, only two blood-red eyes are shining in the darkness. Weird light.
Click, click.
The sound of heavy footsteps was slow and continuous, and the tall figure walked down the stairs and appeared outside the dungeon door.
The crack in the door was pitch black, there was no human voice, only the roaring infected were banging against the metal prison door crazily, making a harsh crashing sound.
Rapid breathing came from under the hood, the blood-red eyes glowed brighter, and the breathing became heavier.
boom.
The heavy stone door of the dungeon was easily pushed open, and it was indeed dark inside. In the darkness, the faint roar suddenly became clear, and the shrill roar seemed to express the unwillingness in his heart.
“Hehehehe.”
The cold laughter came from the visitor's mouth, and it was a man's voice. The man listened at the door for a while, and then walked into the dark dungeon.
The sounds of growling and scratching surrounded him, but he ignored them and walked straight into the dungeon, walking towards the center of the circular dungeon as if he could tell the direction.
Mars flickered.
Amid the friction of flint, the figure lit the torch.
Several narrow cells immediately appeared in the light, and each cell was filled with infected people with hideous faces and wounds all over their bodies.
But the tall man didn't see it. The sudden light of the fire dazzled his eyes, and he was blind for a moment.
But he didn't care. He followed the smell of blood and walked to the cell door in front of him, taking out a bunch of blood-stained keys as he walked.
However, just when he was about to touch the door of the cell with blurred vision, a strange force suddenly surged in the cell.
Then there was a bang, and he took two steps back suddenly as if he had hit a wall, unable to get close to the cell door for a while.
And just as he retreated in confusion, a shrill scream of a sword tearing through the air suddenly sounded from behind.
The cloaked man showed amazing physical fitness. Even while retreating, his body could still twist strangely, turning sideways and forward with his recovering sight.
However, just halfway through the rolling movement, there was another bang, and his body hit an invisible wall again, blocking his evasive movement.
Blood splattered.
The man in the cloak screamed, and his left arm was left with a scar that was deep enough to show the bone. From the torn cloak, the rubber-like texture of the skin unique to the ghoul was revealed. The cloaked man turned around in panic, but there was no one behind him. Before his brain had time to react, the sound of a sword being drawn came from behind again.
The cloaked man did not dodge this time, and hurriedly turned sideways and raised his right claw. Several bone-like sharp claws were raised above his head to meet the sword light that struck diagonally.
With a clang of gold and iron, the claws collided head-on with the sword light. The sharp claw only lasted for half a second before it was easily cut off by the sword light. The sword light continued downwards and slashed towards the cloaked man's chest.
But taking advantage of this half-second gap, the cloaked man's body tried his best to retreat. Although he did not exit the coverage distance of the sword in time, his chest was still sliced open by the sword tip, but at least he escaped the fate of being cut in half. Only a bloody wound was left.
The cloaked man took a few steps back and hit the wall hard to avoid being bypassed again. Only then did he have a chance to see clearly what was happening behind him.
A tall lady stood behind him holding a sword, staring at him with a gloomy face. There was blood dripping on the sword, and behind her, there was a large open door. 's cell.
Crying laughter came from the cell. An elegant and petite lady covered half of her face with a folding fan. She accompanied Dr. Swain and walked out. The three of them fanned out the cloaked ghoul together. Surrounded in the middle.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, dear Mr. Ghoul." It was Diana and Natalie who appeared. The Countess's smile was full of aristocratic friendliness. "You are visiting so late at night. You definitely don't just want to fight." Just say hello, there are only two purposes, either for Dr. Swain's preparation of medicine, or for the victims here. We want to save you a little effort, so we put your two goals together. . ”
But the ghoul didn’t respond at all, only the two blood-red eyes under the hood flickered, and he didn’t know what he was thinking.
“He doesn’t understand.” Dr. Swain took a step forward with a gloomy face and said in the local language, “Who are you and why would you do such a thing? You don’t know this level. Could it be that we ourselves are also affected by the plague? And we have been getting along well with humans for so many years. Do you want to kill them all?”
The cloaked ghoul said nothing, his eyes roamed back and forth on the three of them, and then suddenly his feet started to move and he rushed towards Miss Diana.
Facing the enemy, the countess raised her head and smiled, then raised her feet and tapped the ground lightly.
[Power, protection, ability, blockade]
The invisible wall appeared again, blocking the countess, and Diana, who was behind the wall, had already raised her folding fan and pointed it at the approaching ghoul.
But at the moment when the ghoul was about to hit the blockade wall, he suddenly turned around and rushed towards Dr. Swain at an unprecedented speed.
Doctor Swain’s fighting ability is not inferior to others. However, when the ghoul rushed forward and the hood on his head was raised by the wind, exposing his face to her, Dr. Swain suddenly As if struck by lightning, he looked at the attacking enemies with a shocked expression, completely forgetting to react.
The ghoul seemed to have been prepared for this. He took the opportunity to turn aside and bypass the female doctor. Instead of trying to open the cell door to release the infected person, he rushed directly out of the dungeon door and rushed into the dark room in a few steps. ladder.
"Ms. Swain." Diana and Natalie exclaimed loudly at the same time, rushing to Dr. Swain's side, "Hurry up."
However, who among the two They didn't really pursue it, but instead just guarded Ms. Swain, using their peripheral vision to secretly glance at the fleeing ghoul's back. It wasn't until the back disappeared from sight that the two of them glanced at the blood on their swords, and then looked at each other and smiled. .
"After getting his blood, it will be too easy to track him tomorrow. Not only will we find him, but we may also find the body." Miss Diana showed an admiring smile, "Ms. Swain, you are pretending to be so similar. "Yes, you... Huh?"
The two ladies found that the ghoul had escaped, but Dr. Swain still had an expression on his face, and it seemed that he was not pretending.
"He..." the female doctor looked at the two ladies beside her blankly, "he is my father."
