A night had passed. No matter how fierce the battle was, it must have ended.
Lin Xi was worried. He was worried that he would see corpses strewn all over the ground. He was worried that the main force from Pearl City would be annihilated here.
When he arrived at the location, he heaved a sigh of relief because he saw people. This meant that the monster's attack yesterday must have failed. Then he took a deep breath. Tragic, too tragic!
The square was filled with corpses.
Corpses almost covered the entire square. Some were burnt, some were frozen, but most of them were mutilated corpses that had been beaten with wooden sticks or axes. It seemed that the goblins, minotaurs, and other monsters had finally broken through the defensive perimeter.
There were also many corpses that had been trampled to death. Most of them were the elderly, women, and children. Their bodies were weak, so it was easy for them to fall in the chaos.
Some of the survivors were looking for their loved ones among the corpses.
The sound of crying filled the air.
Lin Xi's heart tightened. No one, even a man with a heart of stone, could remain indifferent in the face of such a scene.
There were no monsters among the corpses, because when monsters died, they would turn into light and disappear.
He carefully jumped over the corpses, trying his best not to step on the corpses on the ground.
Lin Xi, who was moving forward, finally found the evolved humans in the miserable, chaotic, and blood-stained square.
Zong Hou!
The man who once said, "You can cut off your head, but your hair must not be messed up." His shiny, slicked-back hair was a mess. His body was wrapped in bandages, and he was sitting on the ground smoking.
Beside him was Wang Wei, who was sprawled on the ground, seemingly paralyzed from exhaustion. Zhen Tian, who was coughing non-stop, was bleeding.
Seeing that these people were not dead, Lin Xi was about to go over and ask about the battle last night, but he saw a man standing in front of the three of them.
"You people, evolved humans, why, why couldn't you stop the monsters!"
Even in the face of a powerful evolved human, the man was not afraid. His sorrow and anger had made him fearless.
"My wife just gave birth to her second child. My eldest son, Ming Ming, has a three-month-old baby …"
He used his trembling hand to stroke his hair, as if there was a child standing there.
"They're all dead, all dead …"
The man's voice was choked, and his tears and snot mixed together. Trembling, he reached for Zhen Tian's collar and raised his other hand as if he was going to punch her, but his hand was twitching like a sheep's horn, and he couldn't form a fist at all.
"Yesterday, it's not that we didn't try, but … there were too many monsters, and it was a sneak attack," Zhen Tian explained patiently.
However, the man seemed to have gone mad. He kept muttering, "They're all dead." Again and again, he clenched his fists into chicken claws and hit Zhen Tian powerlessly with his trembling hands.
Wang Wei crawled up. He lowered his head and did not say anything.
"I said, I," He said. "I, I I was injured. "I was injured, okay? "Zhen", Zhen "Wei" him "I" he " Zhen Tian was infuriated by this man's relentless accusations. At the same time, he felt wronged. Yesterday, he had almost become one of the corpses.
Zong Hou threw away the cigarette butt in his hand. He suddenly stood up and walked to the man.
Lin Xi frowned. "What does Zong Hou want to do? Don't tell me he's going to attack an ordinary person. Judging from the strength Zong Hou used to block Minotaur King Sauta's charge yesterday, a casual punch from him could probably kill this short man."
"Captain!"
Wang Wei could not help but shout.
No one expected Zong Hou's next move.
He actually knelt on the ground with a plop! This 40-year-old man was about 1.8 meters tall. Although he was not as tall as Xiao Qiang and Old Niu, he was still a burly man. Yet, he knelt down! His butt was raised high, and his forehead was deeply buried in the ground.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't protect your family!"
The action of kneeling even caused some of the wounds on his body to split open. Blood flowed down the surface of his body and dripped down.
"Captain, what are you doing? There's no need to do this to these guys … "
When Zhen Tian saw Zong Hou's action, he was first shocked, then he became furious. Then, he suddenly burst into tears. He quickly turned his head and wiped away the tears that flowed down from the fat on his face.
That man was also shocked by Zong Hou's kneeling. He stopped hammering and was stunned for a while. He looked at Zong Hou, who had been kneeling in front of him with his head buried. The blood that seeped out from his wound flowed through his forehead and into the ground, dying the soil dark red.
He muttered a few words and used his sleeve to wipe the tears and snot on his chin. Then, he lowered his head and staggered away.
Zong Hou kept his head buried and maintained his kneeling posture until the man left. Then, he crawled on the ground and turned around as if he was apologizing to everyone. The blood on his forehead formed a complete circle on the ground.
After standing up, his face was much paler than before. After all, this man with the talent of a knight did not have the ability to convert biological energy into red blood cells like Lin Xi did.
"Uncle Zong."
Lin Xi walked forward and greeted him.
"It's you. I was worried about you. Looks like you survived. That's good." Zong Hou pointed behind him. "Your teammates and companions are all behind you. Walk over and you'll find them soon."
Seeing that the three of them were not in a good state, Lin Xi did not disturb them and continued forward. Soon, he saw Mai Shiranui, Ning Shuixin, Dong Qing, and the others.
Several women sat on the ground without any care for their image. Even Mai Shiranui, a fighter who often fought in the King of Fighters' world and had been trained as a ninja, showed deep exhaustion on her face. It could be seen how fierce the battle last night was.
The only one still standing was Tyrant, who did not get tired. Lin Xi saw Tyrant's two weapons. Judgment was slightly bent, and the bloody hook was completely broken in half. One was a black chain, and the other was a blood red hook.
Dong Qing and Yani sat shoulder to shoulder. They seemed to be very close. The two were holding a bottle of wine, each taking a sip and blowing at each other.
When did the relationship between the two of them become so good?
Lin Xi was very puzzled.
Dong Qing was a teammate, and even a future companion.
Yani was an enemy, and even a large sum of points.
If the two were close, it would be very troublesome to kill Yani in the future. Seeing this scene, he was naturally depressed.
"You're back!"
Mai Shiranui looked happy. Although she could feel that Lin Xi was not dead, no one knew what would happen if a Lord-level boss was lured away. Yesterday, Wu Yan, who could not fly, did not manage to lure Inferno Vinoshu away.
The Fiery Sorceress' strength and terror shocked everyone. Could Lin Xi deal with the Ice Sorceress alone?
Seeing that her master had returned alive, Mai Shiranui hurriedly tried to stand up, but she could not.
"Don't move. What happened last night? Tell me."
The first thing Lin Xi heard was:
He Rui was dead.
It was completely unexpected.
The bosses were held back by the posthumans, and Tyrant and Mai Shiranui were taking care of them. There was also the Stonefang Wild Boar and the Abyss Python. Lin Xi did not expect that one of the three girls would die. The three only needed to protect themselves. They did not need to fight.
To be honest, Lin Xi did not have a deep impression of this girl.
He Rui was beautiful, but not as beautiful as Ning Shuixin and Wang Feifei. She trained very hard, but she was not as strong as the weakest of the posthumans. Her kindness could be seen from the way she took care of Ning Shuixin, who was the youngest among them.
Right, she could also make good dishes. Lin Xi and the others' clothes were usually washed by her.
Before the apocalypse, He Rui was undoubtedly the best choice for a wife.
She was beautiful, but not overly so. She made people feel at ease. She was kind, virtuous, and hardworking.
But a girl like this had suddenly died...
Lin Xi wanted to be sad, but found that he could not.
When he returned and saw the girls, he could not help but sigh in relief. He thought that everyone had survived — he did not even notice that He Rui had disappeared.
When he recalled the girl's appearance, he found that he had a very faint impression of her.
He Rui had died at the hands of a red goblin. When she was leading the Rock-Toothed Wild Boar to kill the monster, a fireball exploded on her body. In the chaos, Mai Shiranui did not notice. When they found her, there was only a charred body left...
After a long silence, Lin Xi asked about He Rui's body. He learned that she had been cremated and turned into ashes.
He did not even see her one last time.
He was not sad.
Only at the bottom of his heart, there was a faint feeling of loss and disappointment ….
From Dong Qing, Mai Shiranui, and the others' description, Lin Xi learned about the battle that happened last night.
Wu Yan was at a great disadvantage when he fought against Inferno Vinoshu. However, Natasha had used the anti-material sniper rifle used against tanks to deal a heavy blow to the Witch. Plus, he had spent most of his energy building a psionic shield, so he was not killed quickly.
The turning point of the battle was where Xiao Qiang was.
Xiao Qiang had used his [Flesh Burst] ability to the limit. His muscles had exploded to 120%, and he had almost become a monster. He had smashed the bull-headed beast to death with his fists. Then, he went to help the disadvantaged Wild Beast team and killed the Minotaur King, Sauta.
After that, Xiao Qiang had fainted because he had overused his ability. Moreover, Old Pig, who had defensive abilities, had been almost crippled because he had helped his teammates block two all-out attacks.
But the Minotaur and Kobold had been freed.
On the other side, Dong Qing, Xu Ping, and Su Xiaowan had barely won against Rekeno. Xu Ping had been struck by lightning and was on the verge of death. If not for Lv Lingling's [Soul Return], a high-level healing spell, this Na 'vi girl would not have survived.
The Direhorse that had absorbed some of the damage for her had died.
The Venomous Cat King was chased by Mu Tie. The boss was obviously planning to kite the old man and use poison to exhaust him. In the end, he ran near Dong Qing and was hit by Beheader's Spinning Blade Wheel. He died the most pitiful death.
The liberated evolvers joined the other battle groups, and naturally caused a reversal of the situation on the battlefield.
In the end, under everyone's siege, Inferno Vinoshu died to a psionic light bullet. This boss did not escape until she died. But before she died, she had retaliated by activating all the fire magic in her body, causing a huge explosion that almost killed Wu Yan.
This young man, even with a shield on his body and Lv Lingling's healing, was still lying on a stretcher. He would need some time to recover.
And the tragic thing was that all his skin was burnt. [Soul Return] could not restore his burnt appearance. Moreover, the Starsoul bloodline was not like the Progenitor Virus bloodline, which had a strong regenerative ability. This guy's handsome face was completely ruined.
As for Dong Qing and Yani, they were now close because when they were fighting Rekeno, Yani had secretly followed her and helped her lure away the falling lightning when the boss released her ultimate skill, saving her once.
The lightning rod she used was that crowbar.
Seeing that Yani had no weapon, Dong Qing was worried that she would die in the chaos since she could not transform, so she gave her a weapon. She did not expect that this kindness would save her life instead.
