Chapter 571: Little Alan

The sword light and the dagger were intertwined, and the seven lantern ghosts fell to the ground one by one in a blink of an eye. Lin Xi did not underestimate the strength of the two of us. In the case of single-handedly fighting 5-8 lantern ghosts, as long as the focus is enough and no mistakes are made, basically There will be no danger in the world, and at this time, after the lantern ghosts fell to the ground, strands of souls floated out of their lanterns, turning into individual figures and standing in front of us, a total of more than ten.

There are men and women, old people with stooped bodies, and children of four or five years old, but everyone's face is covered with a thick layer of death, and they just appear in front of us.

"Finally, freed..."

An old man in a gray robe said blankly: "Everything has changed since those plagues came to the town. People have become very irritable and have lost their normality."

On the side, a middle-aged man was tall and burly, with a choked voice in his throat, he said: "My lord, my lord, they have all turned into unconscious bloodthirsty walking corpses, these damn strange monsters, they brought Destruction, they bring death..."

"Mom, Mom has become a different person..."

A child said ignorantly and at a loss: "We can never go back, the town is dying..."

...

While speaking, their bodies became vacant one by one, and turned into clouds and smoke in a blink of an eye, and disappeared into the air.

"There is actually a drama interpretation..."

Lin Xi looked at the sky with her beautiful eyes, looked at the people who disappeared, and said, "It seems that this town was infected by the undead plague, and then it gradually declined."

"Um."

I nodded and said, "However...the plot is designed so specifically, many things must have happened. Since these people have become puppets of the undead, I don't know what happened to that little Ailan..."

Lin Xi was taken aback, with a hint of worry in his expression: "Let's kill it quickly!"

"Um!"

All the way forward, we continued to clean up the lantern ghosts, and just after we cleaned up the second batch of lantern ghosts, dead figures appeared in front of us again. They were expressionless, just a soul with the last ray of consciousness left , just passed us by and walked out of the town, muttering to himself——

"Everyone has chosen to leave their homes, but where can we go? Hengshan Town is our home. If we are displaced, where can we go?"

"Lord Li Qiuyang has led the military doctors to the town, but...their medicinal soup can't resist the invasion of the undead plague. Our bodies are changing day by day, and many people have already left..."

"Those who left the town early, are they okay?"

...

I frowned, watching these ghosts leave one by one, some even passed through my body directly, it seemed that there was only a ray of spiritual consciousness left, and nothing else.

"Land from……"

Lin Xi glanced at me and became even more worried.

I frowned: "Don't worry, this is a starry sky mission. In the background setting, little Ailan is definitely not dead..."

"No, I just..."

She bit her red lips and said, "This small town should have become a dead city. If little Ailan didn't die, how desperate would it be to face a town like this..."

"Let's go, let's continue."

"Um!"

...

Going forward, we cleared out the lantern ghosts in batches, and approached the town step by step. The experience points along the way are quite rich, but the plot is very depressing. Every word of these ghosts makes us more worried about ourselves Whether the quest target is still alive.

About one or two hours later, Lin Xi and I moved forward step by step, and finally arrived at the entrance of Hengshan Town, and just ahead, there was another group of lantern ghosts that looked extremely vicious. Figures flew out of the lantern, like militiamen, standing in front of them blankly.

"Young adventurers, you are late." Among them, a middle-aged militiaman shook his head and sighed, "We are already sick to the bone marrow, hopeless, our souls cannot be redeemed, we..."

I stepped forward, looked into his empty eyes, and said, "Uncle, do you know Alan? Where is her home, where is she?"

"Alan?"

He showed a puzzled expression, then suddenly realized, and said: "Oh, you are talking about that poor child, she has been abandoned..."

"Why... why did you abandon her?" Lin Xi asked.

The militiaman let out a long sigh, and said: "On the third day after the undead plague floated over, little Ailan showed symptoms. Her hands and feet were cold, and pale lumps appeared on her body, which were signs of an imminent corpse change. Everyone said that the child It was too late to save her, so... her parents abandoned her, and they fled the town on the fourth day, leaving little Ailan alone..."

"Why……"

Lin Xi frowned, pursed her red lips, and her beautiful eyes were full of anger.

"nothing……"

The soul of the militia said lightly: "Everyone is thinking about survival, and so are her parents. Who would disregard their own lives..."

As he said that, he looked into the air and said, "We have followed the words of Master Li Qiuyang, and finally died in the small town. We... Although we are militiamen, we are worthy of the empire and the human race. Although we die without regret... ..."

In the next second, the figures of a group of militiamen disappeared one by one.

...

I took a deep breath, looked ahead, and there was another large group of lantern ghosts respawning there, so I frowned and said, "Lin Xi, let's not be distracted. After we wipe out these lantern ghosts, we can enter the town to find them. Little Alan's whereabouts..."

"Um!"

So, the two of them opened fire, and about ten minutes later, they killed all the lantern ghosts. Amongst the corpses, figures flew up one after another, and it was another group of souls imprisoned in the lanterns. At the very front, a soul with a cane in his hand coughed repeatedly, his appearance was very clear, he was the mayor.

"young people……"

The mayor looked at us and said: "You are late, Hengshan Town has fallen, Master Li Qiuyang fought hard but still failed, the garrison army was almost wiped out, you are late..."

I frowned: "I know, we have met Li Qiuyang."

"ah?"

The mayor was taken aback for a moment, and said, "You... how is Mr. Li Qiuyang?"

"It's already dead." I said in a deep voice.

"ah!?"

The mayor's body trembled slightly, with sadness in his eyes, he said: "Our Hengfan Town is finally heading for extinction...Master Li Qiuyang, he finally fulfilled his promise and died in battle..."

Lin Xi stepped forward and said, "Mayor, we are here to rescue Alan, where is she, is she still alive?"

"Oh, so it's that child..."

The eyes of the mayor's soul turned red, and he said: "Her parents have abandoned her early and fled the town, alas... After the people in the town found little Ailan, no one dared to approach her, they just gave her away from a distance. She has food and water, but... the strange demon army is about to invade the town, so I sent someone to send little Alan to the barn in the north of the town three days ago. I don't know if she is still alive, That poor child..."

"How can there be such parents in the world!"

I frowned, but didn't continue.

The mayor looked at us and said: "Actually, one of our medical officers said that little Ailan was not infected with the undead plague at all. She was just sick, but this is an extremely difficult disease. To be cured, at least It would cost thousands of gold coins, so it's not that her parents didn't know about it, but they were afraid that it wouldn't be cured, and it would cost a lot of money, so they abandoned her and left her to fend for herself in the small town ..."

Lin Xi trembled slightly, with tears in her eyes: "The barn... is the barn in the north?"

"Um."

The mayor looked at us and said, "I hope you can find her, and I hope you can redeem her...Young children, you are the hope of this world, and only you can save this sleepy and fallen world. Goodbye It's..."

Saying that, the souls of the mayor and a group of soldiers turned into white light and flew into the air, and they all disappeared.

...

"Lin Xi, north of the town!" I said.

"Um!"

She nodded heavily, and rushed over side by side with me. The two of us crossed the entire town like this. Not long after, a barren and dilapidated warehouse appeared in front of us. When Lin Xi pushed the barn away, he saw Gu Under the window of Cangbei, lay a small figure. It was a girl in shabby clothes, with a sick face, and she was dying.

"Little Alan!"

Lin Xi and I rushed over together.

"..."

She looked at us with blank eyes, but still showed a smile, and said, "Big brother, big sister, you are... are you sent by my father and mother to see me?"

Lin Xi almost burst into tears instantly: "Yes, we are..."

"Very good."

Little Ailan looked at us weakly, and said: "It's a pity...it's a pity that I don't have any strength in my body. I'm afraid I can't go to see them with you...I..."

"It's okay, it's okay..."

I shook my head and said with a smile: "We are all here, and we will be here with you."

"me……"

Little Alan's breath was getting weaker and weaker, but her pretty face was full of relief, and she said, "Big Brother, Big Sister, thank you...I never thought that someone would come to accompany me in the end, I..."

She was close to dying.

I switched the paladin account directly, and a ray of holy light fell on her, but it was of no avail. Little Ailan's blood was always at the critical point of death, which was beyond what I could save.

"Lu Li, no need... no need..."

Lin Xi knelt aside and looked at me with tears in her eyes.

And at this moment, little Ailan held two small wooden signs in her arms with her weak hands. They were two "civilian" wooden signs with her parents' names engraved on them. Her consciousness had begun to blur and become confused, but Holding the two wooden signs tightly by his mouth, he whispered to the wooden signs, "Goodbye, Dad, goodbye, Mom."
