Red Moon Returns

Cold, disease, and death.

These are the three most typical powers of Mordiggian, the king of ghouls.

Disease has appeared, death has followed, and now cold has also arrived.

This means that the vessel for the king of ghouls to descend has been prepared, and it won't be long before everything comes to an end.

Is that true?

Dong, dong, dong.

A burst of hurried footsteps interrupted the thoughts of several people. Several soldiers were driving more than a hundred citizens to run quickly. The anxious shouting made the four people understand without translation that something had happened.

Sure enough, these were soldiers from the patrol team of the ninth district, which was one of the few remaining blocks that had not taken medicine. There were about 200 people in several blocks, but now only these were left.

An hour ago, the drying yard began to get a little cold, but it was just a shiver, and no one cared.

At that time, some residents leaned out of the window and shouted at them, saying that it was too cold inside and they had to go out to get some firewood to keep warm, otherwise they would freeze to death.

The soldier didn't agree, but he took the firewood for every household in the block and delivered it to every household in person. So until this time, it was still possible to ensure that everyone stayed at home.

But not long after that, the temperature began to drop rapidly, faster and faster, and the amplitude became larger and larger.

When the soldiers checked the isolation situation again, they found that they couldn't knock on the door. No matter how they shouted, there was no movement in the house.

Finally, they broke into the house and found that everyone in the whole block was gone.

This scared the soldiers, and they ran to the nearby blocks for help with fear. They found that there were two blocks of people who had not taken the medicine, and all the blocks that had taken the medicine were normal.

So the front-line commander Terry made up his mind and sent all the remaining citizens in advance. Anyway, there were only a few dozen left, and he could save one more.

The soldiers on the fortress were caught off guard, but they had no choice but to start receiving the last batch of people. For a while, there was a lot of shouting around.

Lynch calculated the time. He started complaining about the temperature drop at about the same time. That is to say, the temperature drop has begun to spread to the whole city since then.

"It seems that the power was insufficient at the beginning, so it shrank in a corner, and the impact was very weak." Lynch tightened the suit jacket he had just put on, and looked at the house not far away that was emitting bursts of cold air with caution. "But half an hour ago, its power was replenished, so the range of influence radiated to the whole city, and the effect was also soaring. It is estimated that it will not take long to turn the whole of Norfland into another Zul'Glasar temple, surrounded by ice sculptures."

"Don't even think about seeing the ice sculptures." Officer Natalie rubbed her palm on the hilt of the sword, and the voice sounded like she was gritting her teeth. "If we are lucky, we may find some broken clothes. If we are unlucky, hehe."

Lynch looked at her with a little surprise.

"Hmph, the power hiding here will not grow for no reason, it must have been replenished. Guess what it replenished?"

Lin Qi thought of a comic he had read before, his face looked a little ugly: "Did it absorb those citizens?"

"Well, it devoured flesh and blood to make up for the insufficient power. If nothing unexpected happens, the other party should have used some method to make up for the lack of the city lord's soul and forcibly replenished the container, but it is much worse than the real complete state, so this method can only be used to fill the insufficient power." The police officer's expression was stiff, trying to suppress her emotions: "I have encountered similar things before. When they are filled, the sacrifice will begin."

Lin Qi understood it as soon as he heard it. Because of her weakness, her father had to sacrifice his life to protect her. That was the deepest pain in her heart. The only thing that could make her react so much was her father's affairs. It seems that there was a flesh and blood sacrifice at that time, so she was so sensitive to it.

Lin Qi did not try to comfort her, but just held her shoulders and squeezed them. The policewoman patted her big hand on her shoulder and smiled softly: "I'm fine, I just miss my father a little bit. When you go back this time, please accompany me to the cemetery. I have a lot to say to him."

Girl, this kind of words is not allowed. Every word is full of danger.

Feeling the muscle trembling transmitted from the palm of his hand, although Lin Qi thought so in his heart, he could only nod and agree.

"Ahem."

A certain earl lady who did not want to reveal her name was very considerate and waited until now before coughing. Lynch quickly withdrew his claws that were touching randomly and said seriously: "Now it seems that he has only devoured people who have not taken the medicine. The part that has been completed is safe, but this also means that the danger here in the fortress has increased greatly. All the targets that the other party can choose have been concentrated here. This is the final destination."

"That's good, Knight Terry did the right thing." Officer Natalie said, "At least this way we don't have to look for him everywhere, just wait here for the other party to come to the door."

Miss Diana sighed and whispered: "I'm afraid that the other party will send up coastal artillery shells."

"Then we can only continue." Lynch said, "War is not a dinner party, bloody confrontation is inevitable."

"That's right." Turning back, he found that it was Dr. Swen who ran out, "I will face it with you."

"Are you sure? It's more important to prepare the medicine, and it's yours after all..."

"I just finished preparing a batch and am waiting to prepare new materials. I just have time." Dr. Swen smiled, "And because he is my father, I have to stand up. I have to face the responsibility of my own family. Don't forget what I did in history."

Yes, you will kill yourself when you are crazy.

Lin Qi could only shake his head and sigh, so as you wish.

More than a hundred people squeezed in together, the scene was quite chaotic, and the citizens who were originally queuing also became agitated. The soldiers of the fortress were a little overwhelmed for a while, and they had to work hard to separate the two sides. They had no energy to control the situation.

In the end, not only all the reserve forces were dispatched, but even Lin Qi and his people were not idle. They were scattered everywhere. Relying on the extraordinary physical fitness of the Soul-Distributing Man, one person was used as ten people, which helped the soldiers suppress the chaos, and those who were in line before were taken to another open space by the soldiers to wait.

Finally, order was restored, and Lin Qi breathed a sigh of relief and released his soul image directly.

Ordinary people can't see it at all, but for the Soul-Diver, this is the location, and it is real-name location. The ladies who were squeezed out knew it at a glance, and they consciously gathered towards Lin Qi.

Everything is developing in a good direction.

However, at this moment, a scream suddenly came from the crowd.

It was clearly checked before that every citizen who had just arrived behaved normally and was not a crazy and stiff infected person. However, just when order was just restored, several of these people suddenly pounced on their compatriots and bit them.

The crowd exploded instantly, and everyone screamed and fled in all directions, just wanting to stay away from the scene. There were only more than 30 soldiers outside, and they were completely powerless in the face of hundreds of crazy people. They were about to be drowned by the crowd.

Dr. Swen gritted her teeth and raised her hand. She knew that she must not let the chaos break out at this time, otherwise the whole city would be in trouble, and the previous efforts would be in vain. The situation must be controlled, and if necessary, it would not hesitate to... massacre.

But before she could do anything, she saw a ball of fire bursting out from the crowd.

This ball of fire seemed to have life. As soon as it ignited, it began to move before the citizens could react. It circled around a large number of citizens as fast as lightning. Although there was no fuel, the flames left a high wall of fire on the ground wherever they passed. With the screams of the people, the wall of fire quickly surrounded the queue of hundreds of people and formed a circle, completely blocking the way for the chaos to spread outward.

Lynch took action.

At the same time, the ladies who were surrounded inside were not idle. Officer Natalie had drawn her sword and killed several special infected people who seemed normal but bit others without any mercy.

Miss Diana had taken out a loud speaker at some point, and Judy on the side was responsible for shouting, asking everyone to squat down with their heads in their hands, and those who were standing would be killed on the spot.

With the wall of fire blocking the way ahead, the citizens could only squat down with their heads in their hands one after another. Soon, only a few ladies and a few soldiers who were responsible for leading the team were left standing in the center of the fire circle.

Lynch immediately regained his human form and breathed a sigh of relief.

Huh, we are safe, temporarily.

Unfortunately, before she could finish her breath, something strange happened.

She had just killed the last infected person and had not had time to retract her sword when she heard a low cry from the squatting crowd. Before she could react, she felt a pain in her chest and a tentacle as thick as her wrist pierced through her chest.

The severe pain came and instantly occupied her consciousness. The police officer groaned with a twisted face, but her body had already moved. Before the tentacle continued to penetrate, she swung her sword back and cut the tentacle in half.

However, before she could pull away, the pain came again.

Once, twice...

More than ten times of pain came from all over her body, and then tentacles pierced through her body one by one, almost piercing her body into a sieve, and the pain did not stop. There were still more tentacles like javelins, constantly piercing her body.

With the severe pain, Natalie had lost the strength to breathe, and her body was hanging softly on the tentacles. Strength and reason quickly drained away, leaving her brain blank. She could only use the remaining strength to slightly turn her neck, and finally cast her eyes on Lin Qi, with only a blank and full of reluctance.

Lin Qi's distorted face was reflected in her gradually lifeless pupils.

At this time, Lin Qi's brain was blank, and the only thing he could feel was the unspeakable pain in his heart.

"Lynch Leviev, I arrest you for illegal possession of dangerous goods."

"I am from the Watcher in the Rye, a mysterious hunter organization directly under the Rand Royal Court. I am Officer Natalie Angell..."

"I am very happy to have you by my side, but unfortunately, I have reached the end, and you still have a long way to go in the future. We are destined to say goodbye here. Please forgive my selfish request before leaving, and send me away like I sent other friends away."

In an instant, countless memories slid through my mind, and every bit of the past emerged one by one, happy, sad, joyful, angry, every word and every expression in the past few months were firmly imprinted in my memory. Every time I think about it, there is a sour and sweet taste that makes Lynch reluctant to forget.

However, the next moment, all the memories in my mind faded at the same time, and the picture in front of me occupied all my consciousness.

The few soldiers who had discovered the anomaly and led the team back were merging together at a very fast speed like melted wax, turning into a huge meat ball. Countless tentacles stretched out from the meat ball and waved wildly in the air, just like Zul'Glasar stretched out the phantom of Mordiggian.

And Ms. Natalie Anger was hung on the waving tentacles.

Her tall and solid body was pierced by more than ten tentacles, and her body drooped softly like a puppet with its strings cut, swaying in the air with the shaking of the tentacles. Blood was desperately squeezed out from the gaps of the blood holes, gathering into a pool of blood on the ground.

His face was pale due to blood loss, and his slightly trembling lips seemed to be saying something. His expression was blank and dull. The whole person was like a candle swaying in the wind, and the fire of life could be extinguished at any time. Only his eyes were reluctant to stare at Lynch's face, as if he wanted to imprint him in his memory forever.

Heartbroken, almost lost his mind.

No, there is still hope, as long as he is not dead, he can be saved.

Lynch could no longer care about anything else. He rushed to Officer Natalie in mid-air at the fastest speed. Along the way, he pierced an infected person who was not yet dead with a sword, and let the bloody ball of light condense in his hand.

It's not too late!

I will definitely catch up.

As long as I press it, I can keep you alive. We have two doctors here and will never let you die.

Hang on, Natalie, everything will be fine.

Almost forgetting everything, he rushed to the dying Natalie at an unprecedented speed. In a few seconds, he had squeezed through a distance of dozens of meters. The scarred Officer Natalie was within reach.

His face was pale and his eyes were dull, but his chest was still slightly rising and falling.

I caught up!

With a strong joy in his heart, Lynch took the last step with red eyes and pressed the ball of light to Officer Natalie.

Come back to me, Natalie.

However, at this last step, all the tentacles exerted force at the same time. With a bang, Officer Natalie Angell's body was torn into pieces at a close distance, and blood gushed out, all spraying on Lynch's face, turning him into a bloody man in an instant.

Lynch's movements were completely frozen, his body was covered in blood, and his eyes were red with anger. The only thing he could feel was the residual warmth in the blood on his face, which was the last warmth of Natalie.

At this moment, his brain completely lost its ability to react. Lynch stood there in a daze, almost forgetting everything, watching the tentacles that tore Natalie apart rushing towards him.

Just before he was about to be pierced by the tentacles, a huge zombie claw grabbed his shoulder from behind and took him back like the wind, narrowly avoiding the attack of the tentacles. It was Dr. Swain who rushed to help at full speed and pulled him back.

It was not until he narrowly escaped death and staggered to the ground that Lynch's brain started to work again, and the voice that had been stuck in his throat finally came out.

"No, Natalie."

"Huh? What?"
