"If that's the case, everything makes sense." Zhang Heng nodded. "Let me ask you the same question. Why did you show me this day?"
Fabericotte did not answer Zhang Heng's question directly this time. He just blinked, "… someone wants to see you."
"Who?"
"Your most loyal servant and follower."
"I don't remember having any servants or followers," Zhang Heng said.
"There are many things you don't remember, but it doesn't matter. Take your time. One day, you will remember them all," Fabericotte said. "We can help you."
"What's the price?"
"What?"
"In the story you told me, anyone who deals with you will have to pay the price. It's the same for the natives on the South Pacific island and the residents of this town …"
"No, no, no. You are different from them …" Fabericotte shook his head. "We don't want anything from you. This is not so much help as our duty."
"You are quite considerate, just like the waiters at Haidilao," Zhang Heng said.
After that, he ignored the puzzled expression on Fabericotte's face and stood up from the ground. Although the stench in the sea breeze was much stronger than before, it could not completely cover the smell of the half-man, half-fish, and frog monsters.
Zhang Heng could sense that someone was approaching him quickly, and there were a lot of them. They were coming from four directions, blocking all his escape routes.
Zhang Heng pulled out the Winchester behind him, pointed it at Fabericotte, and warned, "Since you like to stay in the pit, you'd better stay there."
The latter stretched out his hand, signaling that he would not move.
So Zhang Heng looked at the wave breaker in the distance again. He knew that the person Fabericotte wanted him to see was probably behind the wave breaker, or more precisely, on the black reef behind the wave breaker.
Zhang Heng had to admit that the place was still attractive to him.
Although Fabericotte lied about the time, he was quite honest about other things. Zhang Heng knew that if he wanted to investigate his life, he would have to meet the guy on the reef. He should be able to get a lot of information.
But at the same time, Zhang Heng had to be vigilant. These people were deliberately hoping that he would remember something, and it was impossible for them to do it just for the sake of helping others. Putting aside the memory before the age of six, Zhang Heng could still clearly remember what happened after that.
From primary school to college, he did not experience amnesia. Until he was involved in this game, his daily life was similar to that of an ordinary person. Before the age of six, he was too young to do anything. So where did the memory that Fabericotte wanted him to recall come from?
For the first time, Zhang Heng realized that it might not be a good thing for him to work so hard to get the final answer.
But now was not the time to think about such things.
Zhang Heng hesitated for a while, but in the end, he did not choose the direction of the wave breaker. Instead, he continued to walk along the abandoned railway. If he wanted to leave this town, it would be the most convenient to go along the railway. Anyway, there were enemies in all directions, and it made no difference where he went. There would be no problem with him being tracked down.
The bad news was that he was running out of bullets for his rifle. It wasn't because he didn't take enough, but because there was only one box left in the grocery store. He still had about 40 bullets for his revolver, but it was obviously not enough for the town's residents or the number of monsters.
Fortunately, he still had the chef's knife with him.
Less than twenty steps later, Zhang Heng ran into the first team that arrived. There were seven of them, and two of them had not completely transformed. They were the man and woman he bumped into at the restaurant earlier.
Zhang Heng did not hold back and took the first shot.
The bullet accurately blew up a monster's head. After that, he pulled out a revolver from his waist with his other hand and killed another monster. The two bullets hit the same spot, and it was difficult for Zhang Heng to miss at such a close distance.
The two fell to the ground and kicked off the battle. It also slightly affected the speed of his companions, allowing Zhang Heng to unload and load his rifle.
In the grass, the Winchester kept roaring, and the muzzle of the gun briefly illuminated Zhang Heng's face in the dark.
With three guns in hand, he could maintain a certain level of firepower suppression, especially with his rapid-fire skills. No monster could get within half a meter of him.
Hence, the problem arose when he began to run out of ammo. First, he ran out of bullets for his rifle. Then, he ran out of bullets for his revolver. Although he hadn't run out of bullets yet, he had already started to consciously control his ammo consumption. He drew his chef's knife and fought, only using bullets to save himself when he had no other choice.
With the previous wave of bullets, he barely managed to get through the densest and most dangerous encirclement. However, the crisis was not over just yet.
That was because there were too many monsters. They were originally half the population of the town, and they continued to multiply and grow. Usually, they would hide in the house or in the dark, but tonight, all of them came out. The liveliness was probably more than 46 years ago, and they only had one goal tonight.
Zhang Heng had thrown away the hindering backpack, including the empty Winchester. He wanted to keep light and better maneuverability. At the same time, as the activity intensified, his heart rate began to rise. Even in the face of such a dangerous environment, Zhang Heng still noticed the abnormal movements of the four Shadow-type items on his body.
There seemed to be a voice whispering in Zhang Heng's ear. Although Zhang Heng could not understand the language, he could understand what it meant. It seemed that the voice wanted him to choose between the four items.
Zhang Heng hesitated for a while and finally chose the item he obtained from the winged man from Arc of Light.
He grabbed the item, but the next moment, the item suddenly split in half. At the same time, a black shadow rushed out of the crack and merged into the shadow behind Zhang Heng.
Zhang Heng did not feel any abnormalities in his body. But the next moment, when he was thinking about crows, a pair of black wings emerged from his back.
When the wings were spread out, they were more than five meters long. They did not have a physical body, and they were purely made of shadows, just like the winged man who fought him that night. However, Zhang Heng's wings looked darker and bigger, making him look like a fallen angel in the movies.
However, Zhang Heng knew that he was not as flashy as a fallen angel, where he could fly wherever he wanted. When he spread the wings, he also learned that they could only be used for a short period of twelve seconds, and he could only use them once a day. It was similar to Shen Dongxing's mechanical ability.
