Chapter 437 The only chance
We can’t wait any longer, we must save people.
In the flash of lightning, Lin Qi suddenly realized that this might be the only chance for the four of them to get the Human Face Fruit without dying in the memories of strange objects.
The city lord dies, his soul and life are devoured, the ritual is completed and the evil god's will is revived, and then the sacrifice is enjoyed.
What if the ceremony is not completed?
The evil god hasn't arrived yet, so he still dares to let the plague sky continue to take effect and kill more than 8,000 sacrifices tonight?
Worth the gamble.
"We have to save people, I'm on board."
Without saying a word, Lin Qi's body was already moving when he spoke, and at the same time, the ladies' voices came back from the conch. sound.
"Be careful in everything, we are always ready to respond."
No explanation, no pulling, mutual trust makes any words redundant, you decide, I cooperate, that's it, other things can be discussed after surviving.
Old Si Wen was unprepared. The smile was still on his face, but his laughter had stopped abruptly.
The old ghoul only had time to let out a low cry before the serrated sword stabbed him in the chest.
Sven tried his best to dodge, but his arm was injured and his speed slowed down. The old ghoul tried his best to avoid the vital point in his chest. The saw-tooth sword hit his right shoulder, causing him more injuries.
While the blood spattered, the old ghoul suddenly felt that the power in his body was losing rapidly with the blood. Even with the quality of the ghoul, his body began to feel weak. In the hands of the person holding the sword opposite, a blood-colored ball of light was rapidly taking shape.
At the first touch, Old Sven staggered back and quickly broke away from the serrated sword, and the feeling of power loss ended. The attacker didn't look at him again, turned around and rushed towards the little Jack who was still biting the city lord's neck, kicked the little monster aside with a flying kick, and finally removed a small piece of meat from the city lord's neck. Come.
The city lord's eyes turned white, his whole body twitched, blood sprayed from his mouth, his eyes had become empty, he was only one breath away from death, and the attacker slapped the blood ball in his hand on the wound on the city lord's neck with his backhand. , then he picked up the city lord and ran away, and a flash appeared at the entrance of the cave.
The dying city lord was hit by a blood ball, and the flesh and blood at the wound began to squirm crazily in an attempt to heal. Although his breathing was still rapid, it was no longer likely to stop at any time. There was a little blood on his face, and then his eyes As soon as he closed it, he fainted.
The old ghoul, equivalent to level 4 or 5, and the little monster of unknown strength were caught off guard. They rescued the dying city lord and carried him out of the cave, leaving only old Sven who couldn't react and watched him turn around. Run towards the entrance the way you came.
"Roar!"
The little monster roared through the underground cave, and the forty or fifty infected people hiding in the caves along the way also roared in response, and then quickly got out of the hiding place. , blocking the path tightly and airtight, and little Jack and Sven also followed Lynch's footsteps and chased out, working together with groups of infected people, blocking the tunnel to death, with both sides covered. The trap turned Lynch, who was resisting the city lord, into a rat in the pipe with no way to escape.
However...no.
In the narrow tunnel that only allowed two people to walk side by side, the two blocked sides finally met, but the rat in the tunnel took the city lord with him and disappeared as if out of thin air.
“Find them for me!” Old Siwen was so angry that he began to speak human language to the infected people, “They must be hiding in a hole, let me find them out.”
As he shouted, he twitched his nose, catching the smell of blood in the tunnel.
The smell of blood on the little monster next to him was too strong, covering up the rest. It took him a lot of effort to distinguish the smell of blood emanating from the city lord from the interference.
Huh? behind?
Old Siwen turned around suddenly, only to see the dark tunnel behind him twisting and stretching into the distance.
“How could it be?”
Old Swain was stunned.
Making false claims in the east and attacking in the west was exactly the escape plan planned by Lynch.
Although this action was an impromptu move, it was by no means a rash move, and we had carefully considered how to escape.
He knew very well that there was a large group of infected people on the way here, and running back after rescuing them would only lead to an ambush, so he was prepared from the beginning to attack in the east and in the west. First, turn left as if running towards the entrance. As soon as you enter the blind spot of the cave's field of vision, immediately activate your latent ability, and at the same time use your presence ability to cover the city lord behind you.
Using Presence on people requires a high degree of trust, and it is impossible to succeed against the city lord. However, he is already unconscious and is equivalent to a dead object, so it is automatically determined to be successful.
With just a feint, Lynch carried the city lord and rushed back to the right side of the cave entrance, and then ran deeper along the rugged tunnel.
Sure enough, this operation successfully deceived Old Swain. By the time he realized that he had been fooled, Lynch had already carried City Lord Jackson deep into the tunnel, and he didn't know how far he ran out.
The structure diagram given by Dr. Swain showed a dead end in the depths, but Lynch had previously considered that with so many infected people hiding inside, it is very likely that there is an entrance and exit to a public place, not far from the city. It would be too far and sparsely populated, allowing easy access for these infected people.
That's Lynch's goal.
"I'm heading east, southeast, and turning east again."
Lynch looked down at the compass in his hand from time to time, running wildly in a tunnel that didn't even exist on the structural map.
“Copy that, we’re following you too. With the help of the twin beetles, we’ll try our best to respond to you as soon as possible. But are you...sure there must be an exit?”
"The possibility is extremely high."
Looking at the surrounding environment without slowing down, Lynch answered definitely. This is obviously a newly dug tunnel, narrower than the ones he just walked through. , darker and more rugged.
Without the support of the structural diagram, it is impossible to determine where the tunnel leads. Every step is unfamiliar, but the more this happens, the more certain Lynch becomes that there must be an exit.
"I hope that when I see the sun, I can see your smiles as soon as possible, and I will leave the outside to you."
"You can only see my fists, which is worrying Bastard." The male tower police officer was silent for a moment, and then added, "Wish you good luck, and wish us good luck."
Under the dim firelight, the light and shadow were messy, and the silent tunnel was filled with his hurried footsteps. sound and bellows-like wheezing.
The roar of the infected could be heard vaguely from behind, and Lynch knew that Old Swain had discovered his trick and was directing the infected to chase him.
Then let’s race and let you see the will to survive from the fifth era. Hey, I’m ahead of you, and you will never be able to catch up with me in this life.
However, when he reached the tenth minute, he was no longer so sure.
With the unremitting training since time travel, it is not easy for him to resist himself and persist until now. However, the roars of the infected behind him are getting clearer and clearer, and Lynch can even smell the faint rotten smell wafting from him.
The infected person is tireless, but he will get tired. Unknowingly, his steps slowed down and his breathing became heavier.
The main reason was that the ground was getting rougher and rougher, and there were many plant roots on the ground, which made him almost trip over several times, but the hope in his heart became stronger and stronger, because he felt that the ground was moving rapidly. It rises, and there is a faint sun shining through in front.
It's time to reach the exit.
Hope inspired the last bit of physical strength, and the speed on the uphill road increased instead of slowing down. I hurriedly took a few steps towards the exit and towards the sunshine.
It turns out that the exit is an extremely thick old tree with a hollow in the middle. It can lead directly to the ground from the tree hole, but it cannot be seen from the outside. It is very concealed.
Rushing into the cave of the ancient tree, Lin Qi stopped when he heard the footsteps of the pursuers behind him.
With a flip of his wrist, the red moon ring on his finger began to glow and accumulate energy, entering an excited state. He then grabbed hold of the unconscious city lord and suddenly got out of the tree hole.
The moment we saw the sun again, the sun was shining brightly, as if we were back in the world. However, the first thing he saw was a sharp claw.
The ghoul's sharp claws grabbed him head-on.
