the last gentleman

Chapter 226 Death Acceleration

The next morning.

Barry woke himself up directly with a huge snoring. When he sat up on the big bed, he caught a glimpse of Yi Chen who was meditating on the sofa, and he was in a very strange state.

There are metal acupuncture structures all over the body, as if the acupuncture is a part of Yi Chen.

Just staring at it can make Barry feel a faint tingling pain, and he is absolutely unwilling to touch the needle prick on it.

At this moment, the acupuncture slowly retracted, and Yi Chen opened his clear and transparent eyes.

"Barry, are you awake? Let's go downstairs and have a meal and go straight away."

"Okay." When Barry got up and put on his armor, he was still a little concerned about the needle prick just now, "William, what's the matter with those metal needles growing in your body? I remember when I was fighting with you, I didn't feel such a thing in your body at all." .”

"I just got something in the old world not long ago."

"In addition to the relics, there are additional gains in the body?"

As soon as these words were said, Barry instantly felt that the gap between him and Yi Chen had widened a lot.

"By the way, nothing happened last night, right?"

When Barry asked these words, Yi Chen glanced at the hammer emblem between the big shields, "It's all right."

……

When you take the elevator to the restaurant on the second floor.

Yi Chen found that the gentlemen who were eating here looked gloomy and completely unmotivated. They were completely different from the energetic young people in Zion.

Barry said beside him:

"These failed to stay in Zion, but were assigned to cities under the organization, which basically means that there is no future at all. Of course, except for clinic apprentices and some special staff.

These gentlemen are often past their peak breakout years and have limited potential.It is not their turn to organize the newly discovered [Relic Incident], unless they can make contributions that make the organization look good at the place where they are stationed.

Of course, no matter how you say it, it is much better than ordinary people.

Hey~ I have to work hard too, if I still fail to make a breakthrough in another two years, the organization will give up on my training, even if I can stay in Zion with the help of my family, there is basically no hope of a breakthrough. "

Yi Chen patted Barry on the shoulder lightly, "This incident is a great opportunity, as long as we can go back smoothly, the organization should arrange the relic incident for you."

"Yes, I have to work harder."

Barry directly stuffed the three croissants into his mouth in one gulp, as if ready to go.

Barry, who ate breakfast for three, looked around: "Speaking of which, there seem to be some gentlemen who have reached their limit, experienced and familiar with the city. Do you want to recruit them to join us?"

Yi Chen, who was cooking noodles with meat sauce, quickly shook his head, and beside his dinner plate was a city map of Ravenholm City and a sewer road map.

"In the face of the unknown, it is easier for people like us who are not familiar with the city to find problems. Moreover, these people have no fighting spirit, and calling them will only hinder us.

In the event of inevitable death, it's just the two of us, so we don't drag everyone else down. "

Hearing these words, Barry's heart thumped, and he always felt that he was working with a lunatic.

At the end of the comfortable breakfast time, when the two were about to leave, they saw a hotel staff with a flustered expression walking quickly to the center of the restaurant, loudly conveying important information:

"Gentlemen, please pay attention! I just received news from the team stationed in the Dome River that more than 900 civilians committed suicide by throwing themselves into the lake on a rainy night last night. The bodies are currently floating on the lake, and a large number of residents in other neighborhoods have also died.

Gentlemen who have reached the [Limit] please go to the Dome River to gather immediately to help salvage and load the corpses. "

These words caused an uproar in the cafeteria.

You must know that the previous deaths were all "surreptitious" deaths. This is the first time I have seen this kind of collective death, and an uneasy atmosphere permeates the entire cafeteria.

Yi Chen frowned, thinking in his heart:

"After the [Pattern] transmitted by death was excavated by the hospital, and I captured a dead person alive, is the guy hiding in the dark ready to make a big move? 』

At this moment, a young gentleman with a frightened expression in the cafeteria said:

"I...many of us haven't reached the limit yet, and we can't help much. Staying in the hotel can only temporarily use public resources. It's better to let us evacuate the urban area in advance to reduce the burden."

However, the person in charge responded with a serious face: "Zion has issued a notice. In order to avoid the leakage of death factors, no one is allowed to leave until the exact source of infection and its nature are identified, or until unified evacuation instructions are received. Ravenholm.

Once someone evacuates privately, they will be regarded as [defectors]. "

As soon as these words came out, panic spread in the restaurant.

"Gentlemen who have reached the limit, please bring your equipment and props, gather in the lobby within 5 minutes, and head to the Dome River together."

Yi Chen got up immediately, and at the same time snapped his fingers in front of the dumbfounded Barry, "Let's go!"

……

The Dome, an inner city river running through Ravenholm from west to east.

Due to last night's heavy rain, the water level rose almost to the shore.

A bloated body with soaked hair, face down, huddled on the surface of the lake.The gentlemen are using their respective abilities to put the body bag with isolation effect on the corpse, and then carefully salvage it ashore.

Yi Chen who rushed over did not take part in the salvage work, but stood on an arch bridge and carefully observed the corpses on the lake, quite puzzled.

The gentlemen nearby inevitably regarded Yi Chen's behavior as "sneaking out", and occasionally cast contemptuous glances.

Until a palm rested lightly on Yi Chen's shoulder, the gentlemen around who cast strange glances immediately turned their heads, their faces full of shock.

Dark-skinned bald head, sun-structured back decoration.

Dean Diss actually took the initiative to walk up to the arch bridge, putting a hand on Yi Chen's shoulder, "William Behrens, you seem to have doubts about this [group suicide]?"

Even feeling the dean's arrival, Yi Chen still focused on the lake without looking back.

"The other party obviously wants to speed up the rate of death attacks because we discovered the [death symbol] and captured the dead alive, and directly carried out such a collective suicide by taking advantage of the heavy rain last night to directly affect a large number of civilians.

But last night, the heavy rain covered the entire urban area. Why did the residents along the river choose to drown themselves in the river instead of solving it at home.

If I remember correctly, most of the gentlemen who have committed suicide are found in rivers and bridge holes.

If it's just suicide, you can do it anywhere, but if you choose the river, it means that the other party wants to get something out of the suicide that happened in the Dom River.

By the way~ Dean Diss, did you draw any conclusions from the samples of the deceased yesterday? "

"At present, it is only known that the black liquid in the patient's body can connect the corpses of various creatures together, pretending to be the appearance of the deceased, and the memory is completely inherited.

Once these liquids are freed from their attachments, they evaporate rapidly into a colorless, invisible gas.

Further conclusions Mr. Hrvoje Sr. are still under investigation. "

"Carrying memory, connection and colorless and invisible gas..."

Yi Chen vaguely noticed something,
"If I'm not wrong, these suicides will pass on a 'thing' that carries their memories after death, and then construct the dead by invading the corpses of other animals, disguising themselves as they were before they were alive.

With so many people dying in the Dome, the 'stuff' passed from them has the potential to sink below the river bed.

I recommend searching the sewer area near the Dome. "

"That's right, it's exactly what I thought... The Church of the Sun under my command is already on its way, are you going?"

"Okay, me and Barry join in."
