It is difficult to describe the weirdness of that corpse in words. Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you understand the strangeness in Ethan's mouth.
The three of them approached quietly and saw that the state of the corpse was that of a semi-finished product when a human was about to become an infected person, with part of the body still retaining human characteristics.
Although the existence of the curse mark can be seen, it can be clearly felt that the cause of its death was not due to being infected with the curse.
Rather, it was a rather strange way of death... There were no wounds or body spots on its body, its expression was in a state of fear, some parts were petrified, and it still maintained the posture of begging for mercy before death.
Death comes so suddenly, without prelude, without reason, and similarly, there is no room for recovery.
"I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling."
Yulia seemed a little scared. She looked up at the tall building in front of her, like a monster lurking in the night.
"I'm worried that this is the ability of some evil god. We don't know the specific situation yet, and it's easy to suffer a loss."
It was like a lonely ship drifting on the Black Sea, and finally found a companion who could lend a helping hand.
Along the way, he could also notice something. Without too many words, Jiang Chenchuan told him the current difficult situation.
After listening to the silence for a long time, Ethan raised his head and said:
"In other words, our recycling target is in the royal city."
"You can say that."
Jiang Chenchuan nodded.
"Then tell me, the old man you met at the Conjurers Association..."
"I don't know. He seemed to have something to tell me, but the situation at that time... was really inconvenient."
The mystery that remains in the Spell Masters Association can only be made after everything is over before making plans.
Ethan stood by the window, and from time to time he could still see infected people passing by on the street below. The strange body was close to overdraft, and it wouldn't take long before he would die of exhaustion like Schioppa.
The lives of all infected people are limited, just like turning on a countdown device and just waiting for the moment when the clock reaches zero.
If they arrive later, they may face a city of death strewn with the bones of infected people.
And how should those infected and survivors who have survived to a higher level get along with each other?
"Let's go, meet up with Yulia Decapo first."
Ethan turned around and said hello. He was already ready to leave, so as long as he told Da Silva, the two of them left Da Silva's safe house.
Blood dripped down the cracks, soaked into the wall, and dyed this desperate land red.
Screams were heard not far away. This kind of sound could be heard everywhere in Ronark City. They were all the failed survivors, and the infected people discovered their whereabouts.
It used to be more frequent, but now it's more stable, with only occasional mistakes and accidents happening. In the dark, Jiang Chenchuan and Ethan saw a group of infected people pounce on the poor human and eat them clean.
They are no longer interested in infection, and only this pure killing can temporarily excite them.
When chaos has become normal, no one cares about the rules and will not be afraid of the passing of life. After everyone is dead, the group of infected people disperse in a hurry.
The man's chest was still rising and falling slightly, and he was only breathing his last breath, but his lower body was already several meters away.
"We arrived too late, we can't save him."
Looking at the tragic scene, Ethan said slowly.
"Let's go, where is Yulia?"
Every second they delayed outside, Yulia felt more in danger. She raised her eyes and looked at the bloody and dark city. The chaotic buildings spread to the end. Looking forward, the tallest gorgeous building was the so-called "The King's Domain".
"Go this way."
Ethan commanded.
Not long after, they came to a hidden place,
Yulia was hiding inside without turning on the lights, so she really couldn't be found under normal circumstances.
"Mr. Ivel!"
A voice sounded in the darkness. Follow the direction of the voice and you will find Yulia waiting for them. After reuniting smoothly, Jiang Chenchuan explained to her the current situation in Ronark City.
It was originally planned for Yulia to stay at Da Silva's house temporarily, but Yulia decisively refused.
"No, I am a staff member of the museum, and it is my duty to recover the relics."
Yulia said firmly.
Jiang Chenchuan and Ethan looked at each other, and after a brief exchange, decided to let Yulia join this operation.
"But maybe... I won't have the chance to protect you. Yulia, please remember that no matter what, you must leave Ronark City alive."
In the end, he could only confess helplessly.
Weak flames danced in the darkness, gray smoke blended into the night, and the occasional figure that flashed on the street quickly disappeared.
There are no dark clouds in the sky tonight, and the stars are twinkling in the darkness, emitting a faint light and dotting the cold winter.
The night in Ronark City is silent, but it is not completely silent. The sounds from time to time will make every normal person tremble with fear.
When the sound disappeared and became suffocatingly quiet, Yulia could hear Jiang Chenchuan's steady breathing in the darkness, but they continued to approach the royal city.
According to the signs on the map and Jiang Chenchuan's familiarity with it, he can probably arrive at dawn.
In order to attract the attention of the infected, they all communicated without speaking. The silence along the way gradually increased the tacit understanding between the three of them. Basically, with just a gesture, they could roughly understand each other's meaning.
The cold air invaded, but they didn't feel the cold at all. The closer they got to the royal city, the more they could feel an invisible pressure exerting pressure on them.
Looking up, the tall building was pitch black, without even a single light. Even Ethan had to wonder if there were any infected people living here.
"God... probably doesn't need light."
Yulia could only guess so.
Everyone is not sure what kind of creature the "evil god" mentioned by da Silva will be.
This was an unplanned action, but fortunately, there was no head-on conflict with the infected along the way. Probably out of fear, the closer to the royal city, the fewer infected were active.
Therefore, it was all rumors that the infected soldiers were sent by nobles to act. There was no noble control. The royal city was filled with a dark atmosphere from the abyss, which made Yulia shudder.
"etc."
Ethan, who was opening the way at the front, suddenly squatted down, and Yulia behind naturally did not dare to act rashly.
