Alien Knights

Bulwer scratched his head, looked at the direction Karin left, and said awkwardly: "Should we help her?"

Kellogg spat out a snake letter: "We can't help her, we will only cause trouble for her."

Randall was silent for a while and then said, "Take all the children and let's go."

Just as the group of people set off towards the safe house, Karin followed the rooftop passage and arrived at the central street of the upper town of Taylor City.

Karin stood on the edge of the roof and looked down. Dozens of zombies covered in black parasites were wandering on the street, looking for survivors.

Karin lowered her head and looked at the surrounding terrain. The building she was in was a tavern, located in a bustling commercial district. The streets were littered with debris - broken carriages, collapsed houses, and miscellaneous supplies. .

She jumped off the roof and came to the balcony on the second floor of the tavern. Karin lay down behind the low wall of the balcony and looked inside carefully.

There are scattered traces everywhere on the ground, broken tables and chairs and dried blood, all suggesting that a tragic killing once occurred here.

However, she could not see a body.

Karin was just about to enter the tavern to take a closer look, when the vibrations under her feet made her alert.

She straightened up and looked into the distance through the balcony fence on the second floor of the tavern. In the center of the city, tens of thousands of corpses covered with parasites gathered together, like a huge black wave, destroying people along the way. everything of.

Those beautiful sculptures and elegant buildings embodying wisdom, under the impact of the tide of corpses, were like a lonely boat in a tsunami, falling apart at the first touch.

It was really hard for Karin to imagine that if the entire city's population were transformed into such monsters, what kind of power could stop them.

Forcing herself to calm down, Karin began to think about how to slow down the zombie tide and help Randall and the others buy time.

Turning around and walking into the tavern, a familiar smell entered Karin's nose.

Following the stairs to the first floor, Karin tiptoed to avoid the obstacles and arrived at the back kitchen of the tavern.

A sealed iron bucket placed on the shelf caught Karin's attention.

Karin came to the side of the iron bucket and carefully pried open the lid on the top of the bucket.

The dark viscous liquid sloshing in the barrel and the pungent smell that hit her face made Karin quickly recognize what was in the barrel - whale oil.

This kind of viscous flammable substance is usually used for lighting. It is very common in coastal cities like Duxi City, but it is a rare thing in the deep inland Papal State.

Carrying the whale oil up, Karin walked towards the door of the tavern.

Putting the iron bucket near the door, Karin turned around and picked up a broken wooden table, using her powers to teleport to the door.

After dozens of trips back and forth, Karin soon had all kinds of tables, chairs and benches piled up at the door of the tavern.

After preparing everything, Karin turned around to get the whale oil again, when a gust of wind blew from the inside of the tavern, making her hair stand on end.

A black parasite as thick as an arm snaked and crawled on the floor like a giant snake. When it got close to Karin, it suddenly bounced up and pounced towards her.

Almost relying on her long-term training of fighting instincts, Karin flicked out a stone and teleported back several meters, narrowly avoiding the parasite's attack.

Soon, the attacker's true form slowly appeared in the sunlight.

Dozens of parasitic corpses either entangled or ate each other, hugging each other tightly and turning into a monster that looked like a "sphere".

This "sphere" made of corpses and parasites extends its arm-like parasite limbs and rolls forward on the ground.

Karin looked closely and saw that the corpses in the corpse ball included the bartender, the woman accompanying the bartender, and the patrons. Now she finally understood why she couldn't see a corpse in the tavern just now.

Looking at the chilling "thing" in front of her, Karin shuddered and murmured to herself: "What on earth are you?"

With the help of the swing of the parasite's limbs, the parasite corpse ball suddenly crashed into Karin like a spring-loaded ball.

Not expecting the enemy's speed, Karin leaned back in panic and awkwardly avoided the enemy's attack.

Under the huge impact, the parasitic zombie sphere collapsed the wall of the tavern and rushed to the street with unabated force.

This movement not only woke up the parasites wandering on the street, but also attracted the attention of the zombie tide in the distance.

Listening to the harsh scratching sound of parasites in her ears and the horrifying screams coming from the corpse's mouth, Karin made a quick decision and rushed towards the iron bucket of whale oil at the door.

A parasitic corpse rushed through the door of the tavern. Facing Karin who was running towards her, it stretched out the black parasites all over its body and swept towards the latter.

A stone popped out from Karin's fingertips. The stone passed through the parasites and hit the wall of the tavern.

The next second, Karin's body fell from the wall and stopped just next to the iron bucket of whale oil.

The parasitic corpse turned around, screamed at Karin, bent its legs downward, then jumped up suddenly, and rushed towards her again.

Karin grabbed the iron bucket with her right hand and popped a stone out of the window with her left hand. She teleported to the street, and the parasitic corpse that rushed towards her hit the wall directly.

Stepping onto the street tiles, Karin instantly attracted the attention of all the zombies.

Hundreds of parasitic corpses ran out of the surrounding buildings and attacked the only living person.

Karin raised her head and glanced ahead. The huge tide of corpses in the distance was approaching at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Opening the lid of the iron bucket in her hand, Karin ejected the stones and flew into the air.

Taking advantage of the moment of being suspended in the air, Karin swayed the whale oil in the barrel to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the ground in the middle of the street was covered with a thick layer of whale oil.

After escaping the attack of a parasitic corpse, Karin looked at the tide of corpses that had entered the neighborhood, took out a flint from her arms and lit the iron barrel.

Spotting the enemy's position, Karin threw the burning iron barrel to the ground. In the blink of an eye, a raging fire rose.

The debris, carriages, ruins, and even the ignited parasite corpses on the street became the catalyst for expanding the fire, turning the entire street into a purgatory of red flames in an instant.

After finishing all this, Karin teleported to the roof. She looked at the oncoming tide of corpses, entering the fire like moths to the flame, and then let out a long breath.

Just when she was about to turn around and leave, Karin accidentally touched her chest with her hand. Suddenly her face turned pale and she exclaimed loudly: "Wait a minute! My pendant!"

Thinking back to what she had just experienced, Karin suddenly remembered the fight in the tavern.

When the parasitic corpse sphere attacked, she fell to the ground, and the pendant in her mouth must have been lost at that time.

Karin glanced down, and the tavern in her memory was already in flames.

Should I jump down now to find the pendant, or should I turn around and leave?

Karin made her choice almost instinctively.

I saw her jumping down from the roof and jumping into the sea of ​​fire.

Blazing flames, hot floors, and thick black smoke, Carinden was immediately surrounded by heat and smoke as she entered the tavern.

She covered her mouth and nose with the corner of her clothes while kneeling on the ground and groping the ground with her hands.

The flames burned her hair, the high temperature scorched her skin, and the smell of burnt flesh filled Karin's nose, but these did not stop her action at all.

During the long search, Karin finally found a rope holding the pendant.

Taking the pendant in front of her, Karin opened her eyes wide, hugged it into her arms, and smiled happily.

The pendant is a translucent crystal that can reflect colorful light as long as it is pointed at the sun.

"Karin, listen up, this is the lens of the microscope. With it, I can magnify things 100 or even 1,000 times and see a lot of things I wouldn't otherwise be able to see. 』

The voice from the depths of memory soothed Karin's body like a breeze.

The pain caused by the burning flames and the fear caused by the tide of corpses outside the door were already insignificant compared with this small happiness.

Karin felt her body getting heavier and heavier. She placed the pendant on her chest, clasped her hands together to protect it tightly, letting the flames engulf her body bit by bit, and finally slowly closed her eyes.

In the firelight, Karin seemed to see a huge shadow, which extinguished the flames, drove away the enemies, and led her into a pure white heaven.
