Chapter 2870 The Fear Beyond Death (Part 1)
“Something happened, really something happened!?”
Under the urging of Matt Ning, the wife finally came to her senses and nodded in panic. , and then went to comfort the two children. Matt Ning walked to the window and gently opened the window. Their home was a two-story building, with a dirty alley outside. His eyes swept outside, but he didn't see anything. Nothing strange, just unusually calm.
At this time, he seemed to think of something and turned around and said.
“Wait and see what happens.”
The couple waited uneasily for another twenty minutes, and after confirming that there were no enemies nearby, Matenin, who was known for his cautious actions, made a decision.
"Let's go through the back door and don't let the children make any noise. There may be enemies coming."
Making final preparations, Matnin held his pistol and the machete At the waist, his wife also had a pistol and a dagger. After the two arrived on the first floor, they carefully opened the back door of the house. After confirming that no one was there, they pushed the stroller covered with thick cloth and moved carefully. .
Mat Ning is very familiar with this area. It is about a mile away from the pick-up point mentioned by the leader, which is not too far. For safety reasons, he is not going to take the main road, but the path between the buildings. .
Along the way, both of them were highly nervous and always alert to their surroundings.
But what's even more strange is that neither of them heard anything.
"Husband, you said that if there are enemies, why is there no movement? Not even the sound of gunfire."
Hearing his wife's whisper, Matning was silent for a moment and came to the front. He turned the corner, then pressed against the wall, took out a mirror and stretched it out. After confirming that there were no enemies, he turned around and said:
"This is the most terrifying thing. Now we can't contact any compatriots. In other words, We can’t be sure whether the people standing in front of us are compatriots. This may be because the oppressors have come back to attack, so we can’t trust anyone easily unless he has the mark of blessing!”
“ Isn’t the angel of the Coco Star Emperor already here?”
The woman raised her head and looked at the huge silhouette looming in the clouds.
"The angel is here, how dare those vampires come back?"
"Who knows, let's go to a safe place first, and then we will have the answer."
As soon as the two turned around the alley, several desperate screams drew their attention to the entrance of the curved alley on the right. Continuous gunshots and painful cries echoed among the ruined buildings.
Soon, a dozen people rounded the turn thirty meters away in the alley, shouting in terror and rushing towards the two people. Behind them, three three-armed cult guards were using their weapons. The automatic weapons were firing at a target that Matnin could not see, then turned and chased the others.
Matnin immediately waved his arms.
"Brothers and sisters! Brothers and sisters! What happened!"
He saw them before the other party could reply
Two huge figures appeared at the corner They look like haggard scarecrows used to scare birds in farm fields. Their hunched and curved bodies are covered with dirty rags. Their long, thin limbs end with razor-like claws, and their ruby-like light shines in the depressions. His empty eyes flashed. "Go! Go!"
When the three-armed cult guards saw the two men, they immediately shouted at the top of their lungs. Matnin noticed that one of the guards had three deep claw marks on his face
"Get out of here! From the other side!"
After saying that, they turned around again and shot at the two approaching monsters. The bullets tore apart the dirty rags and hit the body inside, but only set off a trace of sparks.
At this distance, Matt Ning finally realized that their towering bodies were entirely composed of metal skeletons, and the so-called tattered pieces of clothing were actually human skin. He could even see one of them A face from a pure-blooded angel.
Perhaps angered by the bullet, one of the monsters instantly accelerated from a leisurely and slow posture to a moment that was difficult to capture with the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, it crossed a distance of more than a hundred meters and came to the one whose face was scratched. In front of the guards of the cult, he cut off both arms amidst the screams of the other party.
Then each lightning stroke of the claws peeled off bits of flesh from the Order's guards, making a cacophonous noise as a crimson energy crackled across the claws.
Under Matnin's trembling gaze, the creature threw away its arms and cut through the armor, flesh and bones of the Order's guards with frightening smoothness, and screamed with scalpel-like grace. The victims were vivisected and the flesh, tendons and skin of the victims were draped on their own emaciated bodies.
“Run!”
With a sudden inspiration, Matnin opened the thick cloth of the stroller, picked up one of the children, and gave the other to his wife. The two of them went crazy. Run backwards.
He once thought that he was fearless. With the blessing of the Star Emperor, he no longer needed to be afraid of anything.
But everything just now made him feel as if he had returned to the day when he was whipped. Fear entangled his soul again. Let alone fighting, he could not even face those things anymore.
While the two were running without looking back, the other two sect guards were also chopped into pieces. The two monsters did not pursue them, but just enjoyed their "food" leisurely, but in the alley But three more monsters appeared. They didn't have much fresh flesh and blood on their bodies. They were obviously very hungry. After quickly climbing on the wall, they jumped directly among the dozen people.
Amid desperate screams, each thrust of razor-sharp claws is accompanied by a splatter of arterial blood, a crackling hiss and a cackle of death.
Although their legs were weak, the two of them could not and did not dare to look back. They even silently prayed in their hearts that their compatriots could "hold on" longer, or that those monsters would stop chasing after they were full. They
Perhaps the prayer to the Star Emperor had an effect, and those metal monsters seemed to really slow down their ruthless pace.
They walked through the labyrinth of alleys in the ruins of the city, past the half-collapsed church, whose suspended balconies were decorated with gargoyles and whose tall arched windows had long since been shattered when the Order entered. , shards of glass covered the cobblestone streets, reflecting the gray and gloomy sky.
The ground was wet, with pools of coagulated blood pouring out of the potholes, and skinned corpses scattered and piled up in the alleys.
While running, his wife panted and asked:
"Your Majesty, Emperor of the Stars, what is that? I have never seen anything like this"
"I don't know. They don't look like humans. They must be something worse. Don't worry, dear, I will protect you."
After confirming that there were no pursuers behind them, the two carefully slowed down their pace, not only because they wanted to conserve their energy, but they were also worried that the sound of running footsteps would attract more monsters.
