Ember Gun

  Chapter 355 Scavenger

Old Dunling is protected by complex systems and institutions. Although the storm obscured the view, the Black Mountain Hospital maintained communication with the Broken Dome until the communication was interrupted a few hours ago. According to one of the disaster emergency plans, in contact with Arthur and the entire After the Black Mountain Hospital lost contact, the plan was activated and scavenger troops were dispatched.

  Just like their name, the scavengers are responsible for the finishing work of the demon operation, and in some special circumstances, they will also put the finishing touch on the failed action of the cleansing agency.

According to the Peeper System’s assessment of the erosion intensity at the Black Mountain Hospital, the communication between Arthur and Gawain before the loss of contact shows that a wave of monsters erupted in the Black Mountain Hospital and the importance and geographical location of the Black Mountain Hospital. The scavengers will temporarily Arthur was deemed dead, and the entire Black Mountain Hospital was judged to be an occupied area by them.

They are not so much a special unit that fights monsters, but rather an army. Most of the members are people who have retired from the main force of the elimination agency and no longer have the ability to directly fight against monsters. Therefore, the scavengers are mobilized. Ascalon opened fire at the Black Mountain Hospital, clearing the way for the follow-up troops to enter the field.

While the fire and rain in the sky destroyed the monsters, they also destroyed the buildings one by one. Countless armored iron snakes ran along the railroad tracks under the storm, and the encircling net gradually formed, wrapping the entire Black Mountain Hospital, never letting go of any one. demon.

  "Are they trying to kill us too?"

Under the cover, the Kestrel screamed. He thought that he might be killed by the monster, but based on the current situation, before the monster kills him, he will probably be killed by his own.

   "This is the style of scavengers, and they also give us a chance." Arthur responded.

   "What opportunity? Evacuation warning?"

  Kestrel couldn't help cursing, but this time Arthur had no time to respond. The violent explosion set off a heat wave. It was a very cold rainstorm just now, and now it seems to be thrown into the boiling water.

The scavengers did give them a chance, but it was not a warning to evacuate. When the Black Mountain Hospital lost contact, the start of the plan entered a countdown, and the scavengers would only make this after no response has been received for such a long time. Judgment.

  In a sense, although the scavengers belong to the subordinate organizations of the decontamination agency, they are completely independent and not controlled by Arthur.

This sounds strange, or even shocking, but it is the case, because the scavengers themselves are an emergency plan. When the command layer is completely eroded by demons, the scavengers will be the new cleansing agency. , To completely eliminate this corroded old thing.

They are the last insurance to clean the organs, and they are also the swords hanging high above their heads. For this reason, they must reduce their sense of existence as much as possible to avoid being attacked and destroyed by the alienated command. Eliminate the only organization within the organization that has the power to use antimemetics.

  As a commander, Arthur’s understanding of scavengers ends here. After all, their existence is to limit the command level, and more intelligence is firmly protected by antimemetic effects.

  Being fierce to the enemy, it was also cruel to oneself. This was in line with the act of purging organs. The rest of the people couldn't believe the rain of fire, but Arthur understood it well and was not even surprised.

To block the monsters beyond human cognition, the elimination mechanism is the city wall that straddles the two. This is the ultimate creed. The bottom line is never allowed to cross. In order to prevent the spread of the monsters, the scavengers may Will make more crazy moves.

The roaring vibrations continue. No matter how many monsters or survivors are on the surface, it is estimated that they will be buried in the sea of ​​flames under this baptism. There will be wailing roars. The iron-clad monsters are hit by heavy shelling. Under this level of firepower , Even if it was directly hit by iron armor, it was somewhat irresistible.

  The iron armor shattered, the hot high temperature and the molten iron spread over the body, and the abnormal growth of flesh and blood under the huge wound was clearly visible.

   "Lancelot!"

  Someone shouted, and at the same time heavy footsteps sounded in this chaotic despair.

Amidst the falling rain curtain and the rising steam, a jerky knight broke through the barrier, and the steam engine was overloaded. From under the gap in the armor, you could see the redness of the hot sun, and the hot white steam hadn't waited to dissipate. In the air, because of the body's rapidity, it was pulled into a pale silk thread.

  At this doomsday moment, Percival rushed out of the bunker holding a big sword, blank, fear, sad...all emotions were diluted and disappeared under the sensible rain.

  This is a perfect opportunity. If you don’t take this opportunity to completely kill this tricky monster, with the terrifying vitality of the secret blood, this monster will become even more tricky.

What responded to her was the falling thunder. The hook cord penetrated through the chaos and directly hit the soft flesh and blood under the wound. Previously protected by the iron armor, Lancelot's hook cord had been difficult to nail into the body of the demon, and This time he had a chance to attack and kill.

  In an instant, the armor turned into a blue ghost and fell, and the sharp and long swords were nailed into the wound. The iron armor can protect against attacks from the outside, but it cannot resist the tearing from the inside.

   Stabbing, slashing.

  The wound was expanded into a cross scar, and the crack followed the path of the metal scribbled with hot blood.

  Lancelot can smell the smell of blood, and the feeling at this moment is so wonderful, even though he is already in hell.

   Arthur was right. He was a born knight, with a steel will that surpassed everyone, and was so greedy that even demons could hardly erode the desire to swallow.

  The desire for freedom.

  As soon as he had the memory, Lanlost understood the mysterious king curse. At first he was naive and didn't know what it was. It was like a child's joke, and he didn't take it to his heart.

  Such an innocent dream lasted for a long time, until one day he fell on the lawn while running, blood gushing from his knees unstoppable, and he woke up from the dream.

He witnessed the death of those royal family members. They were bloated and unable to move. They were inlaid in an exquisite stroller. Their pale faces were crying meaninglessly. They could clearly feel the blood flowing under the skin. But because of the internal bleeding deep in the body, everyone is powerless.

It was a slow funeral. Lancelot watched him slowly dying. It was not like the priests said. When people die, they will walk to the resting place peacefully. His hideous and painful face until It did not melt at the last moment, and it was engraved on the pale skin forever like a sculpture.

  Someone told Lancelot that this would also be his fate, the fate of every Victoria.

"so good……"

  A faint voice sounded under the armor.

  Lancelot felt a little cold, and the heavy rain drenched him, and the dampness continued.

The space in the armor is limited, his vision is completely restricted to the visor, and he can't see the condition of his body, but he knows very well that he is about to die, not just the rain of fire, and these tricky things. The demon, although the voice was very slight, but Lancelot could hear the sound of blood surging.

  The wound on the knee was a little painful, and the blood could not stop pouring out, flowing along the gap in the armor.

But now he didn't have the slightest fear of death, but was very happy. He broke the dark fate. He would not die in that ridiculous stroller like a baby, but died as a knight commander on the battlefield against the monsters. .

After a brief period of pain, the demon began to counterattack. It had lost its senses, and relied on instinct to act. The whole body became bloated and awkward due to the growing armor. Its swing also seemed extremely slow at this moment, accompanied by joints. The squeezing between them, the iron armors collided with each other, making a trembling sound.

   "Go on! Lancelot!"

  Percival cut down the great sword, stuck the monster's attack, and bought time for Lancelot.

   The light under the crevice became more and more red, and Percival within the armor was almost completely enveloped by the proliferation of monster flesh.

The size of this monster is really too big. Under the abnormal growth, its shape has become very blurred. Lancelot quickly stabbed the sword under the flesh, but no matter how he attacked, it seemed difficult. Touching the heart wrapped in layers of flesh and blood, let alone cutting off the head.

The howls of wailing gathered together, and countless demons rushed under the rain of fire and marched under the dome. They also realized the scene of this disaster, and instinctively drove them to flee here.

  The originally safe area became even more dangerous. The Kestrel and others had to continue to confront these monsters that appeared, otherwise they would bite them into pieces before the fire rain killed them.

   "What's the matter? Joey!"

  At the end of the passage, Joey, who had just organized people to evacuate into the scientific research area, turned back.

   "The goblin is heading here, and Ascalon’s shelling destroyed the passage... and half of the people are at the other end."

   Joey responded, and now it’s hard for him to fluctuate emotionally.

"here!"

  Blue Jade waved at them, they gathered next to the wreckage of three generations of armor, relying on the corner between its wreck and the building, it became a temporary fortress.

It’s really bad news. Not only is the escape route cut off. As the fire and rain fall, the surrounding demons are gathering here, and soon this will become the final battlefield. Both humans and demons will win here. burden.

The wailing is approaching, the demons are biting forward, and the thermal rifle is basically empty. Now everyone is in close combat. Some people can get a folding knife, but more people take it. Fight against the broken metal wreckage on the ground.

   "Eve! Go to Lan Jade! Everyone evacuate there!" Arthur shouted.

  As Arthur ordered everyone to move again, Eve held a folding knife and chopped over a few monsters. She tried to reach the area where the blue jade was, but was stopped by the monsters one after another.

A fierce murderous aura rose up, and a monster quietly arrived beside Eve under the cover of the rainstorm. When he was about to jump up, the heavy metal smashed down fiercely, directly smashing the monster's head into pieces. .

Eve turned his head, but saw Deren with a smug look. His white medical clothes had been completely wet and red with blood, and it seemed that he had also suffered some injuries. It was probably because of a patient. These patients faced Demons often have two extremes. Either they are not aware of these horrors at all and are difficult to be affected, or they are tortured by the nightmare in their hearts and are easily eroded and swallowed.

  Dren was obviously the former, and then made a graceful gesture at Eve. Eve didn’t know what this mental illness was doing, until he also found that Eve didn’t understand what he was doing, he said.

"Lady first."

  Eve was a little bit dumbfounded for a while, wondering whether he admired Deren's gentleman style, or that he was really mentally ill. It was this time, and I didn't know what was in his mind.

"thanks!"

   shouted loudly, and Eve rushed directly toward the path that these mental illnesses opened up.

The rain of fire threatened these survivors as well as the demons. Arthur looked at the large lift platform washed by heavy rain and blood. Ascalon’s cannonballs bloomed on it. Scattered molten iron and impact crushed most of the demons. , Relieved a lot of pressure for Arthur and others, and brought some hope.

  Arthur is not clear about the specific actions of the scavengers, but the fire support has already arrived. As long as they sustain, they will have the possibility of surviving.

  Most people have been evacuated to the location of the wreckage of the third generation of armor. Arthur is also ready to leave. He turned around and found that Cole and Gavin were standing in the same place blankly, drenched in the rain.

In fact, the battle has come to an end, so just keep going. Arthur tried to call these patients to take refuge together, but when he thought of their hazy thoughts, Arthur didn’t know if he could persuade them. He just wanted to speak when he heard Cole say.

   "Ah... It's a long-lost feeling..."

   Cole rubbed his eyes and carefully observed the world again.

   "Cole..."

  Arthur was a little dazed. He tried to say something, but he couldn't say anything at the moment. Looking at the old face, Arthur couldn't believe it.

"you……"

   Cole turned his head and looked at Arthur at this moment, and the muddy eyes became clear again. It had been so long, but it seemed to Cole that all this was just yesterday.

  "Long time no see! Arthur."

   Arthur almost suffocated. He didn't know if it was a rebirth or something else. As the erosion intensified, the things that had been taken away by them were gradually returning.

  Some of the patients are like Cole, just like a newborn baby, sensibly looking at the end of the world.

   "Ke...Cole, follow me! I can't stay here anymore!"

   Arthur felt a twitch in his heart. He had a lot of things to ask, but in the end he could only say this, but Cole refused, he slowly raised his hand, and said with a complex expression.

   "I can't live anymore. The treatment that those doctors have done to me is just to postpone these things. Now it's coming."

  Some aging arms have begun to alienate, just like the familiar monsters, their bones have been slightly deformed.

  These patients have never gotten rid of the trouble of erosion, and now the injuries left by this erosion have been intensified again with the arrival of the demons.
