Chapter 176 The Dragon God Festival Begins (3rd Update)
At this moment, Chen Ye looked at the sky above. Under the observation of the Eye of Luck, the thick blood-colored clouds, condensed with a bloody storm, drifted over.
The surrounding luck image suddenly changed.
The whole street was filled with a strong bloody light, and all fell into disaster.
The road shrouded in white fog, symbolizing the ordinary number, has completely disappeared.
It indicates that the whole city will fall into disaster.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a roaring voice like an ancient god came from the direction of the distant Xijiang River.
Although the source of the sound was far away, the sense of shock came with the increasingly rapid wind. The moment it fell on the ear, the mind sank and the body trembled instinctively.
The roar of the Dragon God...
Chen Ye had felt this voice up close and felt very familiar with it.
However, the roar of the Dragon God came from the distant Xijiang River, and the feeling it brought was different from the last time.
It seemed to become darker and more powerful...
In the roar, Chen Ye could hear a killing brewing in the storm, which was about to spread to the whole city.
"The Dragon God Festival seems to be much faster than expected..." Chen Ye stared into the distance with deep eyes.
Boom! ! !
At this moment, a roar of rushing floods came from the direction of Xijiang River!
The blood-colored clouds above the sky finally began to rain heavily!
Every drop of rainwater emitted a scarlet light, washing the whole city.
The river surface began to rise rapidly, and the tide spread to the streets of the paradise, spreading wildly towards the outside area.
With the heavy blood-colored clouds, under the blowing of the strong wind, it moved directly above the city.
Drops of blood-colored rainwater, from the strong convection pressure at high altitude, whistled and fell at Chen Ye's feet.
Chen Ye put on the black palace robe of the [Devil's Cook], and walked leisurely on the long street without being affected by the bloody rain.
"Do you want to return to Chengxin Restaurant?"
This thought just flashed through his mind, but was quickly rejected.
Although Chengxin Restaurant has its own property, it will inevitably become a flooded area. As long as you hide in it, it will be impossible to get out again.
Once something unexpected happens, it is very likely that you will become a turtle in a jar and be beaten to death.
What's more, even if the Dragon God Festival occurs, the church's determination to destroy the paradise is probably still very strong.
By then...
The holy light bombs covering the entire paradise, plus the floods spreading around, are a double blow, and the risk of staying in Chengxin Restaurant is still not small.
Anyway, the robe on his body can be immune to the impact of the water flow, and he is not afraid of the threat of bloody rain.
Standing outside and facing the storm head-on may not be a better choice.
Soon.
The street has been covered by bloody rain.
At first glance, it was like being in a long bloody river, with the shops on both sides and the electric poles on the roadside all covered by a layer of bloody curtains.
The whole world seemed to have turned into a world made of blood.
Suddenly, in the scarlet blood light in the field of vision, there was a vague outline of a human figure, which was crawling on the ground.
Those figures slowly stood up, revealing a numb look, and their hands and feet were dancing wildly around, as if they were adapting to their new bodies.
When their eyes fell on Chen Ye, they suddenly screamed and instinctively rushed over.
The bloody aura of luck enveloped the top of the head, turning into a blade, about to fall...
However, compared with the entire bloody world, this sign of luck was no longer very conspicuous.
Facing the sudden attack, Chen Ye's expression did not change, and he took out the electric guitar.
While playing, the extremely penetrating electronic music suddenly echoed in the thick blood rain.
The figures suddenly lost control. They shifted their targets and bit each other's accomplices, with ferocious expressions, like hungry ghosts from the Shura world.
Through the blood-colored curtain, you can see that among the fighting crowd, there are fragments flying into the air. In the weird and crazy music, they fall to the ground, making a "da" sound, as if they are integrated into the crazy melody and beat...
Not long after, the sound of the electric guitar slowly stopped, and the noisy noise around finally disappeared. Only the rain hit the ground, making a rustling sound.
Chen Ye took a step, frowned slightly, and scanned the surrounding environment.
On the ground, there were corpses of people who died of starvation, soaked in the rain, and suddenly regained "activity".
But they seemed to sense the threat brought by Chen Ye. After regaining their ability to move, they roared at him a few times, but there was a strong sense of uneasiness in the roar, just like wild dogs often barking wildly when facing humans with stronger systems than themselves, in order to test them.
Chen Ye glanced coldly, and those numb figures immediately shut up and fled quickly.
Their survival instinct, feeling the threat of death from Chen Ye's eyes, chose to flee directly.
Chen Ye did not pursue them in depth.
Solving these parasitic corpses, not even a copper coin dropped, there is absolutely no benefit.
Moreover, although the magic sound of the electric guitar can disturb the mind and make them kill each other, it only needs to stand in place to play, which looks easy, but in fact it also consumes mental energy.
Chen Ye had held a concert at the funeral ceremony held by Hua Shao not long ago, and his spirituality was not at full state.
In the face of the current sudden change in the environment, he needs to retain his strength more.
Looking around, many nearby buildings are empty.
Some aborigines seem to be aware of the crisis and choose to evacuate this place.
He looked around and found that there was a building that did not show the aura of luck shrouded in white mist for the time being, and then walked in.
This low building has three floors in total, and the iron door is half closed. Entering the small courtyard, the ground is full of debris.
The rusty iron door is tightly sealed with a lock.
Chen Ye walked up and pulled it hard a few times, but found it difficult to open. He chose to move closer and split the mouthparts of the devourer under the cover of the hood.
The sharp black side teeth cut, and with a clang, the lock fell to the ground, and the tightly closed door loosened. It only needs to pull the bolt on it to open it.
After the door was opened, the house was deserted. The walls were painted with a layer of simple latex paint, most of which were already moldy.
The ground was covered with unknown black sticky substances, emitting a foul smell, which was very disgusting.
The walls were covered with cobwebs, and the ground was full of fragments and dust from cracked walls.
The whole space was a mess, even the rough house seemed to be simple and clean compared to it.
Such a space is naturally not suitable for long-term living.
To be honest, from the perspective of the environment, it is even better to wander on the street.
According to relevant posts posted by players, it is possible to encounter some "dirty things" in abandoned buildings, which is very dangerous.
But in this kind of weather, the empty houses left behind when these aborigines evacuated are already a good place to live.
Chen Ye stayed in this area temporarily and shook off the blood-colored water drops attached to the ink-colored robe.
I don't know what material this robe is made of. Just shake it a few times, and the remaining water stains will slide to the ground, becoming clean and refreshing.
Chen Ye took out the blood-colored mobile phone from his pocket, and the screen suddenly lit up a faint light in this dim space.
He looked at the public screen, and as expected, the number of discussion posts had completely exploded.
[What the hell is going on with this heavy rain? It turned out to be blood-colored rain, which is exactly the same color as the water source polluted in Xijiang last time. ]
[Try not to get blood-colored rain on your body. Even if you get it on your body, don't drink it, otherwise it will be very dangerous! ]
[I have a friend who accidentally fell on the road while walking and took a sip of water. Then... he became like a zombie and bit us! Fortunately, there is a gluttonous giant in the team, who scared him to death like slapping a fly. I heard that if you get bitten, you will be infected with the same monster! ]
[Our company has been on holiday, and employees can stay in the dormitory building and survive with some relief food. Fortunately, this is a big company, and it seems to have the function of purifying water sources, otherwise I am afraid it will have to be sent. ]
[Damn, our gang can only hide in these stinky and dirty abandoned old buildings. I just saw a woman's shadow appear in the mirror behind... Damn, there are no women among the gang members who came in, they are all brothers! ]
[It is said that the area outside the Lieyang Church Square is relatively safe, and the rain cannot have any impact on that area. But... it is already crowded with people. ]
[To be honest, I would rather run to these abandoned old buildings than squeeze with those dirty natives, without even room to move! ]
[Alas, I don’t know how long this rainstorm will last. If I take leave, I won’t get paid. Our company’s welfare is not good. If I don’t go to work, I don’t know what to eat and drink next. ]
[……]
Chen Ye looked at the discussion above and fell into deep thought.
In the forum, most of the players who can speak are of course temporarily safe.
Now that the whole city is in the crisis of bloody rainstorm, each player is also showing his magical powers.
Either rely on your luck to get a place to live in the employee dormitory of a large company, or be particular and find a place to shelter from the rain.
According to the current discussion of players, the bloody rainstorm is not as terrible as the flood on the riverside.
Even if you are unfortunately contaminated by a few drops, as long as you don't eat it, don't let it penetrate into the skin, and don't get infected, nothing will happen for the time being.
Of course, with such a heavy rainstorm, there must be many unlucky people who accidentally drink bloody rainwater.
But the dead can't speak.
We can only get information about the bloody rainstorm through the communication of forum players and see the whole process of their companions' misfortune.
This rainstorm has compressed the living space of most players, and some inland rivers and excavated wells will also be polluted in this rainstorm, and then become water sources that cannot be drunk normally.
The survival crisis has once again increased significantly.
And... those corpses rotting on the ground will gain the ability to move after contacting the bloody rainstorm!
Several players have already reported being attacked by these corpses!
But more than 20 days have passed since the bloody countdown, and with the help of the constantly improved strategies on the forum, many players have some means of saving their lives.
With their current abilities, they can only withstand the simplest attacks of zombies and it is difficult to cause too much threat.
Although there were casualties, compared to the first few days, it was very small.
On the forum, many players were also teaching how to avoid the rainstorm and how to choose a safer building.
But future survival resources are still a problem.
Chen Ye frowned slightly, he glanced at the rainstorm outside the window, thinking about his next plan.
Compared with other players...
He knew that this rainstorm might last for a long time, longer than expected.
This is not an ordinary rainstorm, but a Dragon God Festival. Behind it is a bishop who should have died a hundred years ago, and a more mysterious and dark powerful existence, controlling everything behind the scenes, with the purpose of plunging this land into disaster and doomsday.
Staying in this shabby house is not a long-term solution.
However, Chengxin Restaurant did not choose to go back for the time being... Chen Ye thought about it, turned on the bloody phone, and sent a message to Matthew——
[Chen Ye: "How is the situation over there?"]
[Matthew: "We encountered a little trouble. This rainstorm has temporarily delayed our construction period for a while, and the employees are also worried about what to do with this rainstorm. But fortunately, the descendants of the sea god have created a safe area for the factory, so we can still hide here."]
[Chen Ye: "I'm still outside for the time being. In this case, I'll go over and see what I can think of."]
[Matthew: "Okay, I'll tell Tang Wu and wait for you to come over anytime."]
After ending the communication, Chen Ye put the bloody phone back into his pocket, put on his hood, and stepped back into the rainstorm.
Since the Dragon God Festival has begun, it is necessary to quickly ensure the construction period of the ghost ship and complete it as soon as possible.
With the ghost ship, we can go to Xijiang, destroy the festival, and calm this storm.
Right now.
Going to Mink Street first to meet up with Matthew and Tang Wu to ensure that the ghost ship can be dealt with quickly can be said to be the best option at the moment.
