quicksilver blood

Chapter 470
"My Tyre..."

Gallo panted heavily, and leaned his body back hard.

His voice was as rough as a bellows, and the blood and effusion that kept pouring up forced him to spit non-stop. His young and handsome face a week ago had now become vicissitudes and rough.

"It's really... his mother's..."

The cold and smooth blood slowly flowed down his cheek.Gallo wiped it hastily, but the scarlet traces left long traces on his face, turning into a ferocious monster face.

It was not his blood, but the blood of his comrades in arms.The blood of his fallen comrades.

Lying behind Gallo at this moment is the corpse of a soldier of the Fourth Legion of Fararo.

It has been a week since the support of the Fourth Army arrived.

However, apart from the ease of the war situation at the very beginning, it has been retreating steadily since then.

The number of monsters coming up from the big crack seems endless, and they are becoming more and more crazy, and their postures are becoming more and more distorted.No matter how you kill them, it's useless - if you kill a batch today, another batch will appear tomorrow.Gallo alone has killed close to three digits of monsters.

However, those monsters don't seem to have any concept of battle damage, and their only purpose seems to be to enjoy killing.

Also during the day and at night.They are attacking all the time, waves of monsters slapping continuously.

At first Gallo and the others still defended against danger, but on the third day they were forced to abandon the city due to the consumption of various materials and lack of personnel. Instead, they began to lay out a large number of traps while slowly retreating in search of peace with the enemy. The troops gathered together and calmly fought guerrilla, trying to delay the attack of these monsters.

But all seems to be in vain.

Slices of urbanization were turned into ruins, leaving only a very small amount of supplies.The people in the city also disappeared out of thin air, not even half of the corpses were left behind.

—They are cannibals.

Such an ominous thought appeared in Gallo's mind.But he couldn't believe it at all.

The city was swept by the army of monsters, and it fell into complete silence like a crop eaten by locusts.All the way to the west, except for a small number of monsters, they never encountered other people.As if the country had been completely wiped out, the dead silence in the deserted town made one despair.

But if that's all, that's fine.

Just yesterday, they were finally discovered by a scout army.The boring life of fleeing opened the final curtain. In just one day, they killed more than 300 monsters and wiped out the scout troops, but there were only nine people left in their team.

Three hundred regular troops and eighteen Templars are now less than ten.Apart from himself and Sharna, even the last Templar swallowed his last breath yesterday.

But they have not yet escaped the danger.

Being discovered by the scout army of these monsters means that he is on the course of action of a large army.Sure enough, without receiving a reply from the scouts, more than [-] monsters were released today.

Fortunately, it's just a monster.

With the experience of surviving a near-death in a meat grinder, Gallo at this moment is not the same as himself a week ago.If he was allowed to deal with himself a week ago, he could have killed himself before he drew his sword.

Not only that - forced by the extremely dangerous environment, Gallo seemed to have developed unprecedented talents.It only took him a week to successfully advance to the silver level.The worst among his friends has already reached the silver level, and some have even touched the threshold of the gold level.

If they hadn't been involved in this natural disaster, this would have been enough to make them so happy that they lost their minds.

However, the rapid increase in their abilities does not seem to be without any side effects.

When Gallo first advanced in his life, he clearly remembered how the warm and great power improved his body so that it could be supplemented.If it was a careful tailor stitching the two pieces of cloth together stitch by stitch, Gallo only felt severe pain during this week's progress.

It's like being hastily set on a nail.This step was neither warm nor comfortable, and it even made Gallo feel a certain mutation in his eyes.

From the outside, Gallo's pupils constricted quite a bit, and even in the dark they only opened a little.Such a change has reduced his ability to see things in the dark, but his field of vision has become much farther away, and he can clearly see what is happening far away.

If he is a benign mutation, then Sharna is undoubtedly a malignant mutation.

The scales of some kind of fish creature were produced on her skin. These scales were rough and unattractive, and their only function was to block the cutting damage of certain sharp objects—but as a Templar, Sharna didn’t need them at all. So much redundant functionality.

She is a girl after all.After she discovered her mutation, she hid herself and cried for a while.Although it is not obvious now, it is only found in the lower abdomen and the roots of the thighs, but Sharna's too cool armor can't stop the changes on her body at all.The originally gentle and sunny girl gradually became dark and cruel.

Gallo had a faint feeling.

This situation of gradually breaking away from the category of human beings and showing some signs of blood mutation on their bodies is probably the price for their rapid improvement in strength.

With the help of his eagle eyes and the strength of his companions, Gallo and his party fought and retreated, killing all the monsters for the time being.However, a teammate from the Fourth Legion was bitten off by the Petrified Scorpion due to negligence.

Blood gushed out like a fountain, and Gallo was spattered all over his face.But without the slightest hesitation, he chopped off the animal's head with a backhand.

The nine-member team was reduced by one more member.

"My Tyre...why do you punish me like this..."

Gallo almost groaned, spitting aside a mouthful of thick phlegm mixed with his own blood and internal organs.

Then he knelt down, put his face against the cold cheek of his partner who had known him for a long time but had established a deep friendship, and patted his cheek lightly with the other hand: "Good boy. Go to sleep. You can finally rest Yes. Get a good night's sleep... You will enter the Land of the Elders, I swear."

After finishing speaking, he raised his face and looked at the deep night sky. The corner of his mouth moved slightly, and he murmured disdainfully: "Heh...hell? Hell. Fuck his mother's hell——"

Then the rest of the seven people came up in silence, saying goodbye to their friends one by one, and then they carried his body to the fireplace of a nearby family and threw it in as a simple disposal.

Even if it is burned to char, it is better than being eaten by those monsters.

"Come on, guys... I think we have to get out of here soon."

"No, wait, Gallo. I have an idea..."

Staring at the corpses of his comrades who were slowly turning into ashes, a soldier said in a hoarse voice: "Let's go up! How about killing them?"

"My good friend, you have a terrible idea."

A fanatic smile appeared on the corner of Gallo's mouth: "But, I like it. Is there any objection—"

Everyone was silent.

They stared at the burning fire, their faces lit up by the bright yellow flames mixed with the corpses.

They don't show any expression.Nothing is indicated.It was as if he hadn't heard Gallo's voice.

Gallo twitched the corner of his mouth, and then let out a hearty laugh: "Very well, buddy--unanimous vote!"

That is the smile that only those who walk on the edge of life and death will have.

They are now in an unprecedented desperate situation.

War is brutal.It is enough to turn a knight into a madman.

Gallo could only see cruelty as it fell abruptly on him.Without any hope of victory.Even the possibility of escape is slim.

hopeless.There is no warmth.no faith.Gallo's world is already made of blood, despair and distortion.

——In this case, it is better to die early.

　Well, if there are no accidents in the future, Chapter 2 will be after midnight, so those who go to bed early don't have to wait...
