Chapter 283 In the Snow
Chen Yan walked in front with tears in his hands, and Jack Baldo, carrying a black sword on his back and pushing a cart, walked behind and walked out of the apartment door.
The street lights were fully on, but there was not a single pedestrian on the street. However, at some point it began to snow heavily in the sky, and moving black shadows were faintly visible in the snow.
"Oh shit……"
Chen Yan turned his head and said to Jack Baldo: "Just move forward!"
Seeing Jack Baldo nodding heavily, Chen Yan rushed towards the approaching black shadow.
An unknown battle took place in the shadows caused by the blizzard blocking the buildings. On one side of the battle were some shadows whose faces could not be seen, while on the other side were clumsy and limping new warriors.
The disabled warrior seemed to have never experienced any battle. As soon as he came face to face with him, he was chopped to the ground with a knife.
But he was surprisingly tenacious.
He seems to be immortal and can get up again every time he is cut down.
And as long as he is not chopped to the ground, he can raise his sword to attack the enemy after a moment of trembling.
Fortunately, his blade is sharp enough.
Many of the enemy's attacks were unable to cause substantial damage to him, but if he wanted to cause damage to the enemy, he only needed to hit the enemy with one knife to cause irreparable trauma to the enemy.
This resulted in him, who had hardly experienced any battles, actually successfully killing several enemies in a short period of time.
Soon, a gunshot was heard in a dark alley that was not illuminated by street lights.
It's a powerful shotgun.
The bullet entered his body, causing his body to bend abnormally.
He stumbled and fell to the ground, and was jumped by several dark figures.
The snow is like a waterfall.
Until the scarlet blade cut the black shadow lying on him bit by bit, he stood up again from the piled black shadow corpses,
In the darkness, gunshots rang out one after another.
He faced the direction of the gunshot and threw himself into the alley where the gunshot appeared.
The sound of metal meeting, yelling, grunting, scolding...
After a brief moment, all other sounds except the roar of the blizzard disappeared.
The staggering figure holding a knife appeared at the alley again.
He faced the snow and limped towards the cart that had not yet gone far.
…
…
Not far behind him, Wishes was pulling out his green "bloodstained" hand from the chest of a lizard-headed monster.
She had seen such a monster before in her transcendent vision.
Most of them were originally humans. Due to various opportunities, after being infected with some kind of lycanthropic virus, they became inhuman beings and had to enter the sewers, becoming dirty things that cannot be seen from the sky.
There are many demihuman races in the sewers. In addition to existences like the lizard monster in front of me, there are also other races living in the darkness.
The demihuman race has a strong sense of territoriality due to their bloodline. As long as they don't have the same bloodline, they are definitely not the same force.
'The extraordinary beings lurking here, including demi-humans and other things, all come from different forces...'
She stood not far behind Chen Yan and watched Chen Yan's back disappearing into the snow.
’ It stands to reason that the extraordinary beings who followed Marina here today should all be the guys who were injured by Ogami in the lower city a few days ago.
They dreamed of using Malina’s legendary blood with ‘miraculous healing power’ to heal themselves...
But can her blood really heal the 'severed immortal'?'
Wish strongly doubts this.
’ If Marlena’s blood can really heal a knife wound like that, it can only mean one thing:
The extraordinary power in Ogami's body that can drive that king-level sword belongs to this land - only the healing power of a high enough level in this land can heal the [immortal scars] in this land.
.'
'This is even stranger.
How could Ogami, a ninja from the Sakura Kingdom from across the sea, have the extraordinary power of the empire in his body?’
I wish I didn't wear those white high-heeled shoes tonight. I would just step barefoot in the snow, and my toes, soles, and the skin above would be red from the cold.
She followed Chen Yan leisurely, always keeping a certain distance, and helped him deal with the lurkers hiding in the dark.
Almost all of those guys are beings who have mastered extraordinary power——
Humans of different forces, demi-humans with different mutations, and dolls with souls that are like machines and obviously have biological characteristics, or rare demi-human species of some kind of plant...
'Ogami injured too many people from various forces in Xiacheng District...'
Wishful suddenly stamped her feet hard while running fast and broke the spine of a snow ghost.
'Hey, it turns out to be a demi-human cursed spirit... Which race has the cursed spirit? Are they the degenerates in the swamp?'
She kept thinking in her head.
’ Not just demi-humans, those dolls also have distinct types.
Some are entirely mechanical, soulless and rigid in action;
Although some have mechanical bodies, they possess human souls... How do they put human souls into machines? Through some kind of magic ring?
Others... have non-carbon-based bodies and complete souls, but those souls are very strange. Although incomplete, they do meet the basic definition of [soul]: a consciousness that exists beyond the physical body.
These dolls... these robots must come from different forces, because the types of technology displayed on them are obviously different.'
'The ones that appear are all low-level things, and there are very few real extraordinary ones. Oh, those guys have learned to be smart, and they know that they are afraid of the blade and don't dare to come forward in their true form.'
'Speaking of which, how did these monsters find Marina...'
'Who was it that spread the news that [Marlena's blood can heal 'incurable knife wounds']? What's the purpose?'
Wish cannot maintain its vision as the spirit of the universe at all times, and many things cannot be seen in time. Moreover, there is no suitable opportunity to open the vision of the spirit of the universe now.
She could only move on.
…
…
The blizzard is getting worse.
Chen Yan limped along the streets that were almost sealed by heavy snow. He almost lost all vision except for Jack Baldo who was pushing the cart in front of him.
The reason why you can see Jack Baldo is not that you can see the complete figure, but that you can see the "fire burning in Jack Baldo's body".
This is really a strange experience. The blizzard has blocked all vision, but as long as Chen Yan opens his eyes, he can see through the blizzard and see the "fire" on Jack Baldo's body.
Or maybe, what's burning in Jack Baldo's body is not fire.
Chen Yan swallowed and looked away, not daring to look again.
Because whenever he sees the "flame", he will have an uncontrollable hunger. The hunger comes from the soul, making him fascinated, his mouth is dry, and he is trapped in it, almost unable to extricate himself!
'damn it……'
Chen Yan bit his tongue, but this action did not make him more alert. He had lost all pain sensation and was just a living corpse at this time. Biting his tongue did not make him more awake.
The good news is that no supernatural monsters continue to appear around.
He didn't dare to look at Jack Baldo, so he kept his head buried and walked forward. After walking for an unknown amount of time, he bumped into the black sword behind Jack Baldo.
Fortunately, my head doesn't hurt.
"What's wrong?"
He raised his head and asked through gritted teeth.
The moment his vision came into contact with Jack Baldo's body, he could no longer look away.
'So... so hungry...'
He swallowed.
The blizzard covered up the crazy swallowing sound for him, and the voice of Jack Baldo from the front made him feel more awake.
"We're back."
Chen Yan listened to his desperate voice and turned to look in the direction he was pointing. Not far away, he saw the apartment building at No. 33 Walker Street.
They are back to the starting point.
