Alien Knights

A fireball passed through the streets and landed among the parasite corpses. With a loud noise, a strong and dazzling fire broke out.

Seeing those parasitic corpses being burned to charcoal in the flames, Randall breathed a sigh of relief, retreated to Barbara, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

Barbara, who had just finished using her powers, was pale and her body was limp. She sat on the roadside and shook her head slightly.

Werewolf Aldenan jumped down from the roof and said in a panic: "The whole city is crazy! There are fires and corpses everywhere!"

Carroll looked at the gunpowder smoke in the distance and listened to the faint crying in his ears. He said worriedly: "Those 'things' have spread. The black bugs in their bodies can kill anyone." A living person becomes a corpse that only knows how to kill.”

The tauren's giant ax has long been abandoned, and his current weapon is a three-meter-long wooden pillar.

Breathing heavily, Bulwer dropped the wooden pillar and said: "These damn corpses are almost immune to any attack. Cutting off their heads can only stop them for a moment. Flame, only flame, can kill them completely."

Looking at Karin who was walking slowly, Randall asked, "How are the children?"

Looking at the charred corpses on the street, Karin whispered: "They are all exhausted from the long journey. Moreover, some children are unwilling to leave anymore because they are frightened by what they saw."

Randall frowned: "How far are we from the safe house?"

Karin said something: "If we go at this speed, it will take at least three hours to reach the safe house."

Aldenan complained angrily: "I thought we would be safe when we came out of the tunnel."

Carroll looked around: "The spread of mutations is faster than imagined. These parasitic corpses we encountered are just some lone guys. It won't take long for them to grow and gather and pounce on them." The remaining living people.”

Randall's face was solemn, and he kept thinking about the current situation and future countermeasures in his mind, but he did not notice that the woman beside him slowly left his sight.

Barbara stood up and walked to the corner pretending to be nonchalant. Unnoticed, she slowly sat down along the wall, with great pain suddenly appearing on her face.

She hugged her belly with both hands, closed her eyes and shuddered.

"If you continue to use your powers like this, your life and the life of your child will be in danger."

Barbara raised her head, and Karin's face looked particularly dazzling in her confused vision.

"Just hold on a little longer, hold on a little longer..."

Karin interrupted Barbara: "Hold on? You actually know that this is just a lie to yourself. With your current physical condition, it is absolutely impossible for you to support yourself to the safe house."

Barbara said nothing.

Karin squatted next to her and asked Barbara: "You still don't plan to tell him about the child?"

Barbara wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand and replied with a smile: "So what? It will only make things worse."

Karin stared into Barbara's eyes. After a long time, she sighed and stood up slowly, no longer trying to persuade her.

On the other side, Randall is talking to Kellogg, who is in charge of the scout.

"Hiss, with the Great Cathedral as the center, the zombie tide has expanded to an area of ​​fifteen kilometers. The church headquarters, the palace, the city hall... almost the entire center of Taylor City has become a hunting ground for the walking corpses."

Kellogg shook his tail and said in a serious tone: "This is not the worst case scenario."

Randall's eyes twitched: "Isn't it... the worst case scenario?"

"Those mutated corpses began to gradually gather into several huge corpse tides, and began to attack in different directions. It looked as if... someone was controlling them. Among them, a corpse tide was quickly approaching us. It won’t take long to catch up with us.”

Randall's eyes widened and his fists clenched unconsciously.

Aldenan, standing next to him, rolled his eyes and said, "I want to remind you that once the zombie tide catches up, none of us can escape."

Carroll grabbed the werewolf by the back of his neck and shouted in a low voice: "What are you trying to imply by saying this?!"

Aldenan shouted anxiously: "If we bring those imps with us, all of us will die here!"

The angry Carroll threw Aldenan to the ground: "Shut up!"

Aldenan struggled to get up: "The Dragon God originally only ordered us to rescue the scholar and try our best to recover the scholar's manuscript."

"When we found out that Yevni was dead, this mission had already failed! Failed!" Aldenan, who was completely furious, with wolf fur standing on end and blood red in his eyes, pointed at Randall and roared: "Yes This guy, our brave and fearless captain, is hell-bent on rescuing those burdensome people who will only cause trouble!"

"I said! Shut up!"

Carroll punched Aldnan in the cheek, knocking him to the ground.

Aldenan, who was lying on his back on the ground, laughed hysterically: "Hahahaha! To satisfy this guy's desire for expression! To realize his heroism! Now! We! Everyone! We have to fight in this damn hell. He was buried with him!”

Carol rushed towards Aldenan, trying to get the werewolf to stop yelling.

At this moment, Randall suddenly reached out and grabbed him.

Randall shook his head at Carroll and said with a sad face: "It is indeed my fault that things have developed to this point and that we have walked into danger step by step."

Carroll glared at Aldenan and said solemnly: "If you don't want to leave with us, you can leave now."

Aldenan lowered his head feebly, as if all his strength had been drained from his body: "Leave? No matter where you go, the ending will be the same."

The quarrel attracted the children.

A pair of frightened eyes looked over from a distance, anxiety written all over their cheeks.

Kellogg glanced at the child, then turned his head, wagging his tail, and said helplessly: "At this time, there is no use in pursuing responsibility. How to get out of here is the key."

Bulwer stepped forward and came over: "The task of escorting the child has been approved by the Dragon God. As believers, we have the obligation to realize God's will."

Randall thought for a moment and then said: "I have an idea. If we continue like this, sooner or later we will be overtaken by the zombie tide. Maybe it would be better to separate the teams..."

Kellogg narrowed his eyes: "You want to separate some people from the rear?"

Randall nodded and said: "To be precise, it's a bait."

"Lead the zombie tide in other directions to buy time for others to get to the safe house." Randall picked up the sword and shield he carried with him: "You don't need more people, I am enough."

Carroll said: "You? It's better for me to go. I'm more suitable than you, in terms of combat ability..."

Randall denied: "This is a bait. The level of combat ability is not the key."

"Are you familiar with the streets and alleys of Tyro City? Do you know how to attract the enemy's attention? Can you safely avoid the pursuit of the zombie wave?"

The sudden question attracted everyone's attention.

Randall followed the sound and saw that Karin was leaning against the wall, arms folded in front of her chest, looking at him leisurely.

"Miss Forman..."

Karin walked towards Randall and said as she walked: "I have lived in Taylor City for a long time. I am familiar with every dark alley and every floating board here."

Randall shook his head without hesitation and said, "I can't put you in danger!"

Karin threw a stone, and the next second, her figure teleported behind Randall.

"My superpower can help me shuttle freely among enemies. As long as I am careful, I can escape unscathed no matter what situation I face. Moreover, while we are arguing, the zombie tide is getting closer. Karin whispered: "Or do you want to waste all your precious time here?"

Everyone looked at each other in confusion, and no one questioned it.

Karin turned sideways and said to Randall: "The safe house is no longer safe in the face of the zombie tide. I have sent people to contact the Valkyries, and they will airborne there to pick you up."

Seeing Barbara walking out from behind the corner, Karin walked up to the former, looked at her pale face, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Protect the child in your belly."

After saying this, Karin threw up a stone and disappeared in front of everyone.
