The dance music in the hall was melodious, and the men and women spun with elegant steps, in suits and leather shoes, with gorgeous skirt tails.
Natasha herself is about 1.7 meters tall, and now she is wearing a pair of extremely high heels, almost at eye level with Xia Yinan.They hold each other's hands tightly and become one with the other dancers.
And no matter the men or women around, their complexion is the same sickly pale.They smiled and spoke softly. If the flesh and blood were cut open, the veins would soon be unable to hide and creep up on their faces.
The castle is like a paradise in the last days, and the dance party is its most gorgeous aspect.Yet Paradise never existed, and beneath the splendor were layers of rotting flesh.
But no matter what, the atmosphere is very good at the moment. There are only two things that are not good. One is that Natasha dances like a war, and her good movements are vigorously thrown by her. A sharp knife pierced the head of the person under his feet.Second, when Ni Kun saw them dancing in the distance, his expression was not very good. Xia Yinan always felt that lasers could be shot from those eyes in the next second, splitting the entire castle in half.
Taking advantage of the loud music, the two of them came to the edge of the hall and half-hidden behind the pillars, blocking the view of Nichkhun and Hilde beside him.
"What's going on with you there." Xia Yinan whispered, "The peacock now looks like an active volcano."
"I'm still in the sewer." Natasha's shawl and long hair covered the communication equipment in her ears, and Li Shuo's voice was coming from inside, "We're almost in the basement."
Taking advantage of the climax of the music, Natasha quietly relayed the content to Xia Yinan.
Then they sang and left the range of the pillars.Another round of endless rotation, the skirt fluttered like a blooming flower, and a war was hidden in it.
"Professor is really elegant." Hilde said with emotion in the distance, "I heard that he is not such a sociable person, but I didn't expect him to dance very enthusiastically. To be honest, I really didn't expect him to offer to participate in the dance. "
"Occasionally you need to relax." Nichkhun forced a smile and remained polite, "He must be very happy that you can specially attend for him."
"Hospitality should be like this, let alone the professor is someone I respect. It's a pity that Mr. Li is ill," Hilde sighed slightly, "it must be because we didn't entertain well." He changed the topic, "It's a rare treat Time, although there are not many girls here, Mr. Nichkhun doesn’t want to enjoy the fun of the ball.”
"...What is he doing?" Xia Yinan saw Hilde stretching out his hand to Ni Kun from a distance, as if to invite him.
Natasha frowned, also a little confused.
Then Xia Yinan saw Hilde smiling all over his face, and took Ni Kun's hand off the dance floor.
Xia Yinan: "..." For a moment, he felt in a trance.Natasha's eyes were also straightened in front of her. When the two of them lost their minds, they almost bumped into the pillar together.
So there was a couple of dancers on the dance floor.Hilde was born extremely tall, half a head taller than Nichkhun, and he himself was very gentlemanly, so he treated his dance partner in a very polite manner, and he had a certain degree of advance and retreat.
They were spinning, and Nichkhun's joints were as stiff as if they were covered with cement, and thoughts and bewilderment about the meaning of life appeared on his always well-groomed face.
Hilde remained graceful, as if this was the most common thing to do.He guided his partner little by little, with his arms around his waist, even though his feet were stepped on several times in a row, his expression remained unchanged.It was probably the first time in Nichkhun's life that he was so helpless and passive, his footsteps were disordered, he stumbled, and his expression seemed to be seeing the sun rising from the west.
The music reached another climax, and Li Shuo's voice finally came from the earphones: "I'm in the basement, and they're all here. I'll report the situation after I fuse the lock. Are you all right?"
"...Ji, it's basically fine." Natasha choked for a moment, "Everything is normal."
In the distance, Nichkhun is trying to cooperate with Hilde, making a lowering movement, his face is still full of hesitation.And Hilde's smile can be called pampering.
This scene was so fantastic, Natasha's brows twitched, and the hand on Xia Yinan's shoulder couldn't help but twitched hard.
It hurts, Xia Yinan frowned.
"Where are you injured?" Natasha froze for a moment, then said softly, "How could you be injured?"
"You Station Master Li did it." Xia Yinan said.If it wasn't for protecting Li Shuo, he wouldn't have been bitten by the hound.
Natasha's face became even more strange: "I didn't expect the station master to have such a hobby."
Xia Yinan: "..." He felt that something was wrong.
Li Shuo's voice came from the earphone: "What's my hobby?"
The music died down, and Natasha didn't reply. One minute later, Li Shuo spoke again, with a low voice: "I have entered the basement, and they are all there. There are people outside, I will return as soon as possible after I explain the matter."
At this time, only the hall of the entire castle was brightly lit, and the rest of the castle was immersed in darkness. The escape plan was unfolding under the dark sky.
About 10 minutes later, Li Shuo's voice came again: "I'm back in the sewer, how long do you have?"
"It's still early," Natasha replied, "It looks like he hasn't planned to end the dance yet."
"That's good." Li Shuo said, his voice hesitated suddenly, "That's... what?"
Afterwards, the channel was full of noise, as if there were countless things flapping their wings and circling down.
Natasha frowned, and winked at Xia Yinan: Something's wrong.
……
There is an unspeakable smell in the sewer, and no one has set foot in it for many years, but because of this, the best way to escape is given.
At first, it was a structural diagram found in the Great Castle Library. This thing was probably found by the looters. They wanted to study their own stronghold, but later found it useless, so they threw it in the corner with other materials.
Many years later, when Xia Yinan managed to pull it out of the mountain of books, there was dust flying around.
With the schematics in hand, they discovered that the sewers were a good channel to the basement.On the afternoon of the third day, Li Shuo and Xia Yinan went through the window to the cluttered bushes behind the castle, picked apart the grass that had grown, and saw one of the entrances to the sewer.
The biggest mistake Hilde made was not knowing they still had powers.Soon the strong lock at the entrance was melted by Li Shuo, and the two went down the ladder, and for the first time fell into the knee-high muddy water of the sewer.
Along the way, you can occasionally see rusty ladders and fleeing mice.They suspect that there are three places of detention, and if there is no accident, they can all be reached indirectly through this sewer.
The first was the utility room, which smelled of musty dust and contained no prisoners.The two didn't dare to stay longer, and quickly returned to the sewer.
Then came the second place, which was shown on the drawings as a large room that used to be a place for selling souvenirs in amusement parks.The entrance to the sewer is located in the corridor outside it, and the two of them held their breaths for a long time to confirm before daring to probe out.
The room was dark, the door was rusted, and the two had a hard time turning the handle.
As soon as the door was opened, there was an extremely rancid smell coming from inside, overwhelming and almost fainting.Even though the two have been fighting for many years and have seen countless dead bodies, they still cover their mouths and noses and instinctively take a few steps back, and it took a long time to recover, with stomach churning.
Then Li Shuo held up a little flame in his palm and tried to illuminate it, and then they saw Chengshan's corpse.
Most of the corpses have been skeletalized, layered on top of each other, more than one meter high.The corpses on the upper level still have corpse spots or green corpses, which were thrown in recently.
The virus was already raging in it. The infected people were pressed by the mountains of corpses, struggling and wriggling in the corpse fluid, gnawing on their own kind, and the teeth and bones rubbed against each other to make a small sound, passing the virus bit by bit.
The whole room was stuffed full, stumps intertwined, and various organs squeezed together, like some kind of weird compressed cans.
"This magic stick is a pervert." Xia Yinan frowned and said in a low voice.
Li Shuo did not continue to step forward, but took a brief look: "They are predators," he pointed his finger, "Some of their faces are still covered with kerchiefs...they still have some equipment."
The equipment on some corpses has not been taken off, most of which are damaged blades and firearms, which are basically useless.Among the corpses that had just been piled up, they had sharp broken blades and head-mounted devices similar to earphones.
They should have been an elite squad of predators, but for some reason, they lay here silently.The chest was ripped open, and the chest cavity was exposed, so hideous that it looked like something had crawled out of it.
Li Shuo frowned slightly, bypassing an infected person trying to grab his hand, and drew out some equipment from the periphery.
There are not many available, only one or two broken blades, and two or three broken military communication devices.
This kind of device has a good protective function, even in such a harsh environment, it is not completely damaged, and it may continue to be used after simple maintenance and cleaning.
Most of the predators don't have this kind of knowledge, so they can only throw away this advanced device when it can't be used, which is more convenient for them.
There is no other value to stay here, Li Shuo closed the door firmly, and the two returned to the sewer without a sound.
There is only a little light source in Li Shuo's hand and the sound of rushing water when he steps forward in the whole passage.While walking, Xia Yinan said, "How come there are so many predators?"
Indeed, the number of corpses inside is simply too much.If they were killed by Hilde, it is hard to imagine why they would join forces with Hilde now.If it is just a normal battle death, it is impossible to do it if it is not for an extremely long period of accumulation.
And this "long time" is definitely more than one year or two years.When the station was completely unaware, Hilde was already developing power here for unknown purposes.
When you think about it carefully, it’s creepy, maybe when the soldiers at the station set out, the exoskeleton flashing metallic silver light, maybe when their vehicles galloped across the street, attracting groups of infected people to chase after them, maybe every time they fought against predators, There is a pair of eyes watching them.
For a long time, all the ups and downs that were thought to be chewed and swallowed by oneself have been witnessed.
The two walked towards the depths of the sewer.The firelight in Li Shuo's hand stretched the shadows very long, and they were like ghosts wandering underground for many years.
However, at the last possible location, they failed to find a chance to get out of the sewer—it was full of various guards, most of whom were pale-faced residents in the castle, and a few girls in gorgeous clothes were chatting casually, It's just that even if they cover their mouths and smile coquettishly, their eyes are indifferent.
It's like a machine, every move is a normal person, but it can't simulate emotions after all.
There were predators beside them, yawning boredly and not paying attention.
This is not a good time.But at least it can be confirmed that this is the place where the comrades are detained.
The two returned the same way, Xia Yinan said: "If I ask for a dinner party, according to the rigid etiquette of the magic stick, all the residents must attend."
"Not necessarily, and there are also predators." Li Shuo thought for a moment, "But as long as the number of people decreases, even if it is only three or four, I can find a chance to enter the house. And it is night, the gang of predators may start Dozing off—that's what they're good at."
So the next day, Xia Yinan proposed a dance to Hilde.Sure enough, the residents gathered together at night, with bright lights shining brightly, and a weird dance party was held.
At the moment, the men and women at the ball were still elegant, Nichkhun's face was still extremely confused, he was gently led by Hilde around, but Li Shuo by the earphone didn't respond.
Only the rustling sound can be heard in the voice, which is the sound of friction.After a crisp sound, the connection was completely broken.
In the sewer, Li Shuo's body was burning with flames, and countless black wings struggled and howled in it.
There was only one broken blade in his hand, which was tightly grasped.The broken communication device fell during a major movement and was completely useless in the water.
As the heat dropped, the creatures in the sea of flames finally came out. They were bats with human faces, distorted faces, almost frantically about to pounce on them!
They were extremely fast, and the one that rushed forward had its sharp claws hanging in front of Li Shuo's eyes.
In the next second, its body was pierced by the broken blade, and then there was a stab, and the flames quickly spread along the blade, roasting the flesh until it sizzled.It made a shrill cry, and soon even its wings were nothing but ashes.
The sea of flames condensed and rotated again, and several flame waves separated out, wrapping around the attacker's body precisely.The dark and damp sewer became hot and dry. Li Shuo took a deep breath, and he was able to control the twisting and spreading of every flame.
These bats have different behavior patterns, some are weak and vulnerable, and some are extremely aggressive.Among them are larger ones, which scream from time to time, and even the surging heat cannot completely stop their pace.
Another one struck from behind, with a circle of conspicuous spikes on the edge of its wings, and the flapping was mixed with startling wind.Li Shuo turned around, ready to insert the broken blade into its eyes, but was stunned for a moment.
He was familiar with that face.
That was Andre's face.
Natasha herself is about 1.7 meters tall, and now she is wearing a pair of extremely high heels, almost at eye level with Xia Yinan.They hold each other's hands tightly and become one with the other dancers.
And no matter the men or women around, their complexion is the same sickly pale.They smiled and spoke softly. If the flesh and blood were cut open, the veins would soon be unable to hide and creep up on their faces.
The castle is like a paradise in the last days, and the dance party is its most gorgeous aspect.Yet Paradise never existed, and beneath the splendor were layers of rotting flesh.
