It was dawn, but it felt inexplicably heavy. The light illuminated the gorgeous and solemn palace, but it also seemed so lonely and strange. The results of their exploration were all disappointing, and the three of them could only move on.
But the closer they got to the palace, the more they heard some strange sounds, as if someone was whispering next to them, and strange noises surrounded their ears. When they wanted to find the source, those sounds suddenly stopped again. The child disappears.
"It always feels like something is stopping us from moving forward."
"It doesn't want us in the palace."
Finally, they knew where the strangeness came from. The unknown force had been interfering with their cognition. It was not a sound without a source, but an illusion caused by distortion.
"In other words, the relic is really inside."
Yulia suddenly spoke.
She didn't look well, so she probably felt something deeper. That kind of negative effect would have a fatal impact on people, especially those who were unfamiliar with it.
But the others didn't respond. Ethan stopped, raised his eyes and looked around. If she hadn't also looked around, she would have suspected that something strange had happened.
"sound……"
The movement disappeared briefly, which was not a good thing. No one knew what despair awaited them next.
In this way, the royal city once again fell into the initial calm. Sometimes, calm is more terrifying than noisy.
The door of the palace was closed tightly, and they had to spend a lot of effort to open it. Compared with the brightness outside, the scene inside the palace was slightly darker.
It must have been a long time since anyone came in. There was a thick layer of ash on the ground. This was different from what they imagined. There was nothing in the palace, no infected people, and no humans alive.
It was as if it had been abandoned and could only be allowed to decay due to the erosion of time. Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps, as if someone was approaching here, but the specific location could not be heard.
"Be careful, it could be an illusion."
Jiang Chenchuan turned around and reminded.
No matter what the situation is, if someone is really active in the royal city, then he must have something to do with the relic.
But they were still prepared for defense. If the infected came, they would probably have to fight head-on.
Everyone's heart was uneasy. The footsteps were lingering in Nuo Da's palace, and it seemed that they had not yet discovered the existence of these three people.
Phew——
They lit the kerosene lamps they carried, and when the flames lit up in the dim space, it more or less helped them expand their field of vision.
The light of the fire made the footsteps disappear, but what followed was the faint sound of breathing. I couldn't figure out the direction, but I could feel the rush, fear, and uneasiness of the man...
"They are here..."
Jiang Chenchuan looked into the darkness and whispered.
"What?"
Ethan still doesn't quite understand, but his intuition is telling him that there should be something not good hidden deep in the palace.
"It's too late. Remember what I said, Yulia. Leave first and run far away. Then find a place to hide. Protect yourself and don't get hurt by the infected."
Jiang Chenchuan explained in a fast tone. After hearing what he said, they all understood what was hidden in the darkness. They quietly retreated towards the door.
There was the sound of waves.
This must be their illusion.
But then, as if they had received an order, the infected in the darkness opened their scarlet eyes one by one, and they rushed forward like evil wolves.
Of course, Jiang Chenchuan and the others would not wait to die on the spot. The moment the infected people pounced on them, they ran out of the door.
Jiang Chenchuan still had time to close the door. The infected people in the palace seemed to have no consciousness of their own, and none of them could speak. They just screamed and growled.
The sound echoed in the palace, making people tremble. The number of infected people who met and fought outside was not at the same level. The door panels were shaken, and from then on
The sharp claws protruding from the gap were stained with dried blood.
They kept pulling and pulling, looking at the precarious door, and they could only keep retreating.
"We can't hold on for long, retreat quickly, retreat quickly!"
Ethan yelled.
No, the infected can run much faster than them, and it will be the same if they are caught up.
"Go higher! Over there!"
Jiang Chenchuan took a quick glance and made an instant judgment.
The infected continued to attack, and the door had become shaky and was about to be breached by them.
Jiang Chenchuan and Ethan took Yulia up to the high platform. Don't forget that there was an alchemist in their team. In any case, the high place had an absolute advantage for them.
The only disadvantage is that they lose other space to escape.
But now the situation is urgent, and at a critical moment of life and death, we can only make the fastest choice.
"Evel!"
Yulia pointed to the door and called.
Looking in the direction of the finger, sure enough, the door was unable to withstand the infected. Countless infected people broke through the last fragile line of defense and poured out.
"Why are there so many?"
Ethan looked confused. If the number of infected people outside had reached a certain number, then coupled with the previous batches of people who were infected and died naturally due to the curse, there should not be such a large number.
Besides, they look...
His face became even more ferocious.
Yulia was frightened. The young girl had probably never seen such a bloody and terrifying scene, and she was speechless for a while.
Maybe at this moment, she can understand that not letting her come is to protect her.
But she quickly regained her composure. She encouraged herself in this way. After all, she was also a D-level staff member and could not embarrass the museum.
If it wasn't an accident, she should have died, on that cold rainy night, in the hands of that Xia Jing man.
She just happened to go out to buy medicine and survived. It can be said that she is lucky. It can also be said that every extra minute and second she lives now is considered a profit.
The infected discovered their whereabouts, just like a cheetah seeing food, leaving behind its drool. Those scarlet pupils were filled with endless malice and desire for prey.
The claws climbed onto the wall, but due to the advantage of the terrain, the infected were unable to climb for a while, but there were a lot of them. Even if they stepped on one by one, it was only a matter of time before they climbed up.
"Do you have any ideas? Ethan."
Jiang Chenchuan asked in a deep voice.
Looking at the densely packed infected people below, I couldn't tell what kind of mood I was feeling now, but at this time, I subconsciously wanted to hear Ethan's whimsical thoughts.
"Guess what you have prepared for entering the city this time?"
Ethan’s familiar tone rang in his ears.
