Chapter 443 Monster Hunting (2)
;
There was a drizzle in the sky. Reflected by the war in the distant city, it looked like a rain of blood, which was particularly dazzling.
Ye Ren leaned against the tree, staring blankly at the flaming city in front of him.
"It's so late, why don't you go to bed?"
There were heavy footsteps behind him, and the footsteps came to his side, interrupted by the rain falling above his head.
Ye Ren rubbed his red eyes, raised his head slightly and glanced at the person next to him, then withdrew his gaze and continued to stare at the distant city.
The people next to me didn't mind. They held an umbrella with one hand and sat down with a smile. They followed Ye Ren to look at the distant sky and sighed: "It turns out that there are stars even on rainy days."
"That's not starlight." Ye Ren's voice had an indescribable emotion.
"Well" the person next to me asked with a smile: "If it's not starlight, what is that?"
"That's heaven's punishment." Ye Ren gritted his teeth. In his eyes, the twinkling stars were pairs of mocking eyes.
"Really?" The person next to me looked at the starlight but was fascinated: "But in my eyes, it is starlight, dazzling and beautiful, guarding the entire sky with a weak body, lighting up my way forward."
As soon as we started chatting, our opinions didn’t match.
The air suddenly became quiet.
Neither of them spoke. They had different opinions and there was nothing else to talk about.
The two of them just looked into the distance quietly, each with their own thoughts in mind.
I don’t know how long it took, but the rain stopped quietly.
The people next to me put away their umbrellas and put down their hands that had been raised for a long time.
"Your name is Orfa, right?"
At this time Ye Ren spoke.
"Yes, my name is Orfa." Orfa nodded. In fact, his full name is more than these three words, but since these three words can be remembered by Ye Ren, it doesn't matter if he takes "Orfa" as his name. .
"Can you send me back to Zhongdu?" Ye Ren asked in a slightly pleading tone, with great determination in his eyes.
Orfa refused without thinking: "No, our team will not return to Zhongdu, and it is impossible for me to leave the team."
After hearing this, Ye Ren's eyes became dim again. He turned around and continued to look at the distant city, no longer paying attention to Olfa.
"You want to go back to Zhongdu so much because you want to ensure the safety of your family." Olfa asked, not letting the atmosphere become silent any longer.
Ye Ren's expression froze and gradually turned into self-blame: "I still have a mother and a sister. If they are still in Zhongdu, they must be waiting for me to save them."
"Silusi has risked her life to confirm the safety of your family. Your family has left Zhongdu for refuge and is not in the disaster area. I think you should trust her."
Olfa stood up with a reassuring smile on his face, but when he said the words "life-threatening", there was an imperceptible coldness in his voice.
After rescuing Ye Ren in Zhongdu, Xi Lusi informed him of his family's situation.
The first thing Xi Lusi did when she came to Zhongdu was to go to Ye's house to confirm Ye Ren's safety. Under the escort of Olfa and Dongling, she risked her life and insisted on going to Ye's house.
However, Ye Ren was not at home. Not only Ye Ren, there was no one in the Ye family. It was very clean, but some items had been taken away. It seemed that they were aware of the threat of the monster and were escorted away in advance.
After telling this to Ye Ren, Ye Ren believed it at first and followed the team to escape from Zhongdu.
Recently, Ye Ren began to become agitated. Because he had witnessed too many scenes of monsters eating people, he could not suppress the fear that spread in his heart. He began to doubt whether Xi Lusi's words were false and whether his mother and sister were really alive.
Once the uneasy feeling arises, it is difficult to suppress it.
Ye Ren clenched his fists: "I want to confirm it with my own eyes, otherwise I will never feel at ease."
This answer disappointed Olfa.
Xi Lusi's heart has been completely let down. Why is she so desperate to save her?
After a long silence, Orfa said: "No one has tied your hands and feet, why don't you go back by yourself?"
Ye Ren said: "It's impossible for me to walk back alone."
Orfa asked: "Why?"
Ye Ren frowned. The answer was obvious. He still needed to ask why.
He replied: "Those monsters are dangerous."
Orfa asked again: "How dangerous is it?"
Another question with unclear meaning. How dangerous is it? Orfa, who has been dealing with the forwards, doesn’t know.
Ye Ren calmed down and answered the question: "I will die."
"Haha" Orfa suddenly laughed, then turned around and walked back to the camping site, still laughing softly: "Yeah, people will die."
Ye Ren looked at Olfa's leaving figure in confusion and fell into deep thought.
Until the sky turned white, he finally figured out what Orfa wanted to say.
The journey back is very dangerous, and people will die. No one is exempt. Even Orfa and the others only look strong when they escape from death.
Ye Ren stood up and walked forward towards Chu Xiao. He knew what to do.
In front of Xi Lusi's tomb, Ye Ren knelt on the ground, Olfa, Wopas, and Dongling stood on each side. The depressing atmosphere seemed to have frozen in time and space.
No one spoke.
No one said anything to blame Ye Ren.
Ye Ren just knelt down quietly in front of the tomb to repent.
At this time, a light rain began to fall in the dark sky covered with soot.
His body twitched, and the ground beneath him was soaked with rain.
He finally confirmed it with his own eyes.
No one at home.
What Silus said is true.
He wanted to say thank you and apologize for his doubts.
It can still be said, but Silos can no longer hear it.
It was really a miracle. He walked back to Zhongdu alone without relying on anyone.
Then another miracle happened, and Xi Lusi returned to Zhongdu alone.
When two miracles collide, tragedy strikes.
In this city, the noise caused by monsters is getting louder and louder.
"Go, go."
In the end, Olfa was the first to break the oppressive atmosphere. He walked up to Ye Ren, squatted down, and gently placed his palms on Ye Ren's shoulders.
"I'm sorry." Ye Ren's voice contained no emotion.
"No need to apologize," Olfa said softly, "because we are all human beings who act on emotions."
Ye Ren slowly raised his head.
Olfa still had that reassuring smile on his face.
Seeing this, the winter spirit turned around and walked away into the distance without saying a word.
Wopas looked at Ye Ren and trotted to keep up with Dong Ling.
"Just keep going"
Orfa held out his hand.
Ye Ren held Olfa's hand with empty eyes.
This is not the first time that they have lost their companions, and it will not be the last time. They will continue to move forward to the Shuge Sea.
With a goal, they will feel safe and hopeful, even if they have no idea what they are going to the sea for.
I just heard that the Shuge Sea Area has a way to solve the source of the mutation.
I don’t know since when, monsters are no longer limited to eating humans and animals, they have begun to eat buildings, trees, and water sources.
"Water source, we need to find water sources separately. There must be water sources nearby. Find water sources and survive."
That day, several teams dispersed in a forest with green vegetation in search of water.
Ye Ren and Orfa were divided into a group and went to the assigned area to find water sources.
Lucky or unlucky
They found a source of water, a large pool.
Olfa happily came to the edge of the pool and held the water in his hands, as if he had found a treasure.
At this moment, the water in the pool surged violently, overflowing the pool, and a metal-like carapace-like limb emerged from the pool and attacked Orfa.
Olfa narrowly escaped, quickly retreated, and looked towards the pool.
There are two huge monsters hiding in the pool
"Step aside"
Olfa rushed to the front of Ye Ren with his sword and struck at the sharp claws that were stabbing him.
Ding
The blade collided with the claws, sparks flying out.
After a stalemate for several seconds, Olfa was knocked back more than ten meters.
At this time, another monster, You, crawled out of the pool. The target of both monsters was actually Ye Ren.
Ye Ren froze on the spot, watching in horror as the monster approached, his body trembling and his breathing so heavy that he could hardly breathe.
Two monsters
Dead
Ye Ren clearly felt the arrival of death.
It took several teams to coordinate with one monster to barely kill it.
Facing two monsters at the same time, even if several teams join forces, they will choose to retreat temporarily.
Now it was just him and Orfa, encountering two monsters, there was no hope of survival.
"Go quickly"
Orfa rushed back again, holding a heavy sword in his hand to block the way of the two monsters.
Ye Ren trembled, regained consciousness, and asked: "What about you?"
Orfa said: "I will stop them, you go first, I will catch up with you soon."
Ye Ren found it hard to believe this: "You will die."
"Yes, they will all die." Olfa clenched his sword: "But there must be someone who survives and inherits the faith of the deceased."
Ye Ren showed pain, turned around and ran away.
"I'll ask them to rescue you. You must not die."
Ye Ren ran forward with all his strength, shouting for help as he ran.
Olfa felt relieved when he saw Ye Ren leaving. Then his expression became cold and crazy. He walked between the two monsters with light steps and attacked with all his strength. He used his maximum ability to anger the monster and prevent the monster from chasing Ye Ren.
This battle was hearty.
He gave up everything, put aside life and death, and used his increasingly broken body to collide with monsters again and again to lure them away from the water source.
This is the last thing he can do as a knight.
"Orfa"
When Ye Ren's voice reappeared in his ears, his Taiyue-like figure fell to the ground in relief.
He knew that his mission was accomplished.
Several teams attacked the monsters, with the Winter Spirit bearing the brunt and seeming to have lost a bit of their former composure.
Ye Ren did not participate in the battle. He held Orfa's hand tightly and said in a sad voice: "Don't die."
"Death and living are just a form. Everyone lives in the hearts of others."
Orfa comforted Ye Ren until his death: "I will not die, I believe I will always live in your hearts."
He let go of the hand holding the sword, used his last strength, and held Ye Ren's hand with both hands: "Can I ask you one last favor?"
Ye Ren lowered his eyes.
"Can you help me protect them?" Olfa said solemnly.
"Yes." Ye Ren met Orfa's gaze with determination and nodded heavily.
"Thank you." Orfa let go of his hand and returned to a gentle smile.
"Brother Ao, stop talking, I will save you." Wopas's face was full of tears, and his hands and feet were in a panic to treat Olfa's wounds.
"Thank you, Wopas." Orfa shook his head to stop Wopas from treating the wound: "Please use these medicines on people who are still alive."
Wopas was stunned and cried even harder.
In this apocalyptic world where there is no hope of recovery, crying will not be laughed at.
Crying can be reassuring.
"You guys carry my body on your back. My meat may be more delicious than those monsters. Haha, just kidding. In a critical moment, you can leave my body behind. This will buy you some time to escape."
Before Orfa closed his eyes, he was still joking to ease the heavy atmosphere.
As his consciousness sank, his breathing became shallower and shallower. In his ears, Ye Ren's call and Wopas' cry, as well as the sounds of fighting not far away, gradually became blurred to the point of inaudibility.
It was as cold as falling into a cold hell. At the last moment of complete silence, he wanted to take another look at the stars in this world.
Dim
cold
Every inch of skin on the body is freed from the restraints, as if it is not wearing anything, and it touches every ray of air with its skin.
Is this what death feels like?
No, there is temperature.
Orfa broke out of the cold prison and opened his eyes suddenly, but there was still darkness in front of him.
But he soon realized that it was just darkness caused by lack of light.
"This is"
Olfa pondered deeply. He could see the stone walls and the oxygen in the air was very thin. Not surprisingly, he was in a cave-like space.
hell
Olfa touches his body, he is now naked.
It's true, there is warmth in my body.
Does the soul also have temperature?
Or
"I'm not dead"
Orfa moved his eyes little by little to observe the things around him. When he turned around and found someone behind him, he was shocked.
I didn't expect there were other people here, but they didn't say a word.
Is it meant to be scary? Uh, wait a minute.
He suddenly found that the figure opposite looked very similar to a person, and the space was very dark. He tried hard to see the face clearly.
After seeing it clearly, he said in shock: "Ye Ren"
They were no longer similar, they were exactly the same. The only difference was that the clothes on the other side were something he had never seen before.
Resurrected
Ye Ren was in an extremely mixed mood of sadness and joy.
After resurrecting Silos, he resurrected Orfa again.
This is undoubtedly the best encouragement for him and gives him more hope and confidence in the future.
"Orfa." Ye Ren's voice was choked.
Listening to this voice, there is no mistaking it, it is Ye Ren. Orfa was surprised: "It's really you, Ye Ren."
Then he asked the same question as when Silus was resurrected: "You are dead too."
"I'm not dead." Ye Ren shook his head, stepped forward and handed the armor in his hand to Orfa.
Orfa looked at Ye Ren, then at the armor in Ye Ren's hand, and immediately came to the conclusion: "I am alive again."
"Well, you're resurrected." Ye Ren's nose was a little sore. It was really not easy for this moment.
"I'll tell you everything later. You put on this armor first."
Orfa thoughtfully took the armor and put it on quickly. Then he was shocked by the power contained in the armor: "Where did you find this armor?"
This armor was obviously qualitatively different from the armor he wore before. Those armors in the past were just made of ordinary iron ore. As long as monsters kept fighting, tough armor was a good armor.
