.Chapter 1997
1997 Rescue (1)
The purpose of writing down the information so easily seemed to be to let people see it. Otherwise, it would be impossible for there to be so many versions of the book that recorded the same content.
Desperators had different appearances and forms, so they must have come from different worlds. There would always be some lucky ones who had the opportunity to obtain the right to use the house, and at the same time, they would be able to recognize one of the languages.
In this way, some information would spread, and when more than one person mentioned it, the rumor would be regarded as a fact.
Of course, it was also possible that this was the truth, and the purpose was to give those who were desperate a direction to fight for.
In short, this city was very strange, and he had to be careful.
It was already close to midnight when he finished reading the few books. After slowly closing the book, Tang Zhen walked to the window.
It was pitch black outside, and the streets were silent. It was as empty as a dead abyss.
However, there were still cl.u.s.ters of light in the darkness, emitting a strange and gloomy light.
In the city of despair, light did not mean hope. On the contrary, it could be a fatal trap.
Tang Zhen would occasionally see some ice-cold and strange figures through the windows of some brightly-lit buildings. They were either standing in front of the windows or pa.s.sing by. The sight of them caused one to shiver.
There was a figure standing in front of the window of the building opposite Tang Zhen.
She lowered her head, but her eyes were desperately trying to look up, staring at him.
A strange smile hung on the corner of her mouth. It was frighteningly evil.
When he noticed that Tang Zhen had also looked over, the Daoist figure slowly raised his hand and waved it twice at him.
Looking at him, it was as if he was greeting a new neighbor, but there was no enthusiasm in him.
Tang Zhen used a cold and indifferent gaze to sweep over them. Soon after, he focused his attention on the street. After calculating the time, the dwarf and Xiao Wu should have already returned by now.
If they waited any longer, they would be surrounded by the night patrollers, which would undoubtedly be very dangerous.
After all, in Xiao Wu’s description, the night patrollers were a group of monsters invulnerable to blades and Spears. They fought one against ten, and the deserters were their prey.
This thought had just risen in Tang Zhen’s heart when he saw a couple of figures slowly walking over on the street, breaking the strange calm.
Their posture was very strange, looking like mechanical marionettes, swaying and floating in the streets.
If one observed carefully, one would discover that their feet were not touching the ground at all, but were floating about three inches above the ground.
As for their faces, they were completely covered by a cloud of black mist, and it was impossible to see their specific appearances.
As they walked, wisps of black gas escaped from their bodies and blended into the dark night.
When one saw this scene, they would even have the illusion that the night was formed by the black mist they emitted.
At the first moment he saw these figures, Tang Zhen had already determined that they were the night patrollers that Xiao Wu mentioned.
Unknowingly, the number of night patrollers on the nearby streets increased.
By relying on his special vision that could see through the darkness, Tang Zhen discovered that there were clearly more night patrollers appearing in the surrounding streets.
The way these night patrollers appeared was indeed as Xiao Wu said, all coming out from the houses on the side of the street.
The night patrolman had already appeared, but Xiao Wu and the dwarf still hadn’t returned. Could it be that some unforeseen event had occurred?
Tang Zhen’s brows gently rose. If this was really the case, he might have to personally take action to resolve it.
At this moment, a wave of hurried footsteps was transmitted from the end of the street. Soon after, Tang Zhen discovered a large group of figures appearing.
At the very front were the dwarf and Xiao Wu, currently madly running forward.
A large group of desperators followed closely, and behind them was a group of night patrollers with all kinds of weapons.
The night patrolmen were like wild wolves and Mad Dogs, biting the back of the despaired one tightly, waving the weapons in their hands and slashing wildly.
When the night patrollers in the nearby streets heard the sound, they immediately turned from slow to fast and pounced on the despairing people like crazy.
Xiao Wu, who was charging at the forefront, saw this and immediately raised the crossbow in her hand, constantly firing at the night patrollers.
The arrows she shot were very accurate, and almost every one of them hit the vital parts of the night patrolman.
However, the night patrollers were not afraid of pain. Even if the arrows. .h.i.t their vital parts, they only slowed down a little.
The dwarf’s crossbow had already run out of arrows. He was now waving his crossbow and constantly smashing it at the night patrollers who had pounced in front of him.
Perhaps it was because of his previous injuries, but he was in a very bad state, as if he could fall to the ground at any time.
As for the desperators who followed him, they were not in a good state either. They were like a motley crew, gathered together in despair.
Most of the desperators were unarmed, and only a few of them had weapons. However, because of the panic, they only knew how to wave them around randomly.
To the night patrollers, it was completely useless. They would only stop if their heads were blown up.
At this moment, the desperators were like a group of besieged beasts, struggling desperately, but they were about to be devoured.
Just as the group of people were about to be surrounded by the night patrollers, a cold light flew out of the window.
One of the night patrollers charging at Xiao Wu was pierced by the cold light, falling to the ground and constantly struggling.
The thing stuck in his body was a shiny saber that looked extremely sharp.
“Pick up that blade!”
A voice sounded out. It was Tang Zhen who was standing by the window on the second floor. His voice had just faded when another cold light flew out and cut off half of the neck of the other night patroller.
“Pick up your sabers and charge out together!”
The dwarf in the front reacted quickly. He jumped to the back of the night patroller, pulled out the sword from his body, and cut off his head.
One after another, cold lights continuously flew out from the window. All of them were weapons that Tang Zhen had just made.
To their surprise, the despairing people found that the streets around them were filled with shiny sabers.
Without any hesitation, desperator held his sword in his hand and slashed at the night patrollers that surrounded him while he rushed to the street ahead.
Originally, because they did not have any weapons, the despaired had been suppressed. However, after they obtained the weapon that Tang Zhen threw out, this group of despaired people immediately became like tigers that had grown wings, becoming abnormally fierce.
those with weapons, guard the sides and open up a path. Those without weapons, hurry and enter the building ahead!
In the face of a life and death crisis, all the despaired people had already done their best. Soon, someone pushed open the door and rushed into the room.
The moment they entered the room, these desperators collapsed to the ground like mud, panting heavily.
After that, one figure after another came in and out of the house, sitting on the ground as if a heavy burden had been lifted off their shoulders, their faces full of relief.
More and more night patrollers rushed over, besieging Xiao Wu and the others, the pa.s.sage into the room was also forcibly cut off by them.
However, Tang Zhen’s figure descended from the sky. He waved a battle blade in his hand and chopped those night patrollers to the ground as if he was chopping vegetables.
Looking at his fighting style, it was simply a brutal and b.l.o.o.d.y dance, beautiful and dangerous.
However, in the blink of an eye, the street was filled with corpses. Tang Zhen killed his way through and shouted to Xiao Wu and the others, I’ll Cover You. Seize the opportunity and retreat immediately!
When Xiao Wu and the rest heard this, how could they still dare to have the slightest hesitation? they followed the blood path that Tang Zhen had killed his way through and directly charged into the house.
At this moment, Tang Zhen was like a meat grinder, killing wave after wave of night patrollers as though he was chopping up cabbage.
After the last despaired person entered the house, Tang Zhen waved his battle sword and cut down the surrounding night patrollers at the same time.
When he was close to the house, Tang Zhen leaped and directly flew into the window on the second floor.
