Crisp firing
sound could be heard one after another. One red mist of blood after another
exploded all over the poor, giant zombie’s head. Both eyes were already gone, leaving
behind two dark holes in their places.
You, who had
been waiting for the perfect moment on one side, noticed that the giant’s
zombie’s activity level had decreased significantly. Immediately she sprang
into action and, with a running start, leapt high up to the level of the
giant’s zombie’s neck.
Her double
swords in her hands illuminated a bright light that had never been seen before.
The two streaks of lights crossed, all the way from the giant zombie’s neck to
its abdomen!
The giant
zombie let out a loud cry and felt backward; it’s head slowly separating from
it’s body. It’s intestines and other organs spilled out from the now
sliced-open stomach.
“Lancelot,
right? Shall we continue our bet?” Qin Luo walked in front of the spoiled, rich
kid and teased.
“No, it’s
okay. I will admit defeat.” Even though he was a spoiled, rich kid, he was also
a man of his words. He valued promises, especially those among his fellow men.
“I will go
run naked first thing in the morning!”
“Pay me 500
gold coins and we will call it even. How does that sound?”
“I can’t do
that! I will give you the gold; that’s reward for saving our lives. But I must
go run around naked and call you ‘daddy.’ I am a man of my words. I don’t go
back on what I have said!”
“…. Whatever
float your boat.”
After
finishing collecting all the brain cores, most of the others wanted to retreat,
especially Lancelot, who had already lost three of his teammates.
Qin Luo saw
that they still have some time left and decided to take a visit into the city.
Naturally Chen Yun supported his decision; and You agreed as well.
A few of the
mercenaries thanks Qin Luo one by one then left through the secret passageway.
After the
three walked through the city entrance; Qin Luo immediately felt the
forlornness of the city. The stone paved
streets were in tatters; the buildings all in rubbles. The city’s glory in the
past was nowhere to be found.
The three of
them accompanied by one cat walked down the main street. No more zombies could
be seen anywhere. They were not sure whether all of them had turned to dust, or
that they were eaten by their own kind.
The city was
quiet and calm without more zombies appearing. But Qin Luo couldn’t shake the
odd feelings that there were a pair of wicked eyes staring at him from the
dark, wanting to eat him alive!
That feeling
made him very anxious, but they did not notice anything out of the ordinary. He
asked Chen Yun and You about it but these did not sense anything wrong.
After about
10 minutes of walking, the three of them arrived at the center of the city and
in front of them stood a glamourous palace.
“This is
odd, how come I didn’t see any words at all in the entire city?” Qin Luo rubbed
his chin, “This doesn’t make any sense.”
“There’s
an old legend in Dongsheng
Continent,” You, who hadn’t said a word so far, suddenly spoke up, “A city that
was despised by god does not have the rights to leave behind it’s language and
words!”
Qin Luo
was surprised, “Despised even by god? What kind of terrible acts have been
committed by the people in this city?”
“Who
knows?” You looked around. “The appearance of these zombies were very bizarre,
as was the old church. It was almost like someone was orchestrating all these
in the dark.
