Chapter 958 Post-War Cleanup
After a fierce battle, the sky darkened.
The Black Street was still shrouded in a dead silence.
Alice led the Law Knight to the center of the street. There were rubbles scattered around her feet, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.
The slightly moist stone slabs occasionally reflected a faint light, like a piece of land soaked in tears.
But because there was no raging black fog.
Even though the atmosphere here was low, there was still a little more hope.
"..."
Alice walked along the main street in the ruins.
Heller followed behind her. The suffering walker walked steadily, and his figure was full of a murderous coldness.
Occasionally, injured civilians raised their heads from the ruins and looked at them from afar.
The old man sighed, and then he gathered the momentum brought by the battle.
Alice walked in front and looked sideways at the ruins:
"Mr. Heller, the people of the Abyss School have been defeated. But since they were able to sneak into the royal city, there must be a more powerful force behind them."
Heller did not answer immediately.
He swept his eyes across the shadows between the broken walls on both sides, and then continued:
"Even if Adrian is not in the city, these guys took advantage of the surprise attack and temporarily captured the royal city, but sooner or later they will spit it out again. Such a rash move is hard to imagine that it was decided by a force. So I think they must have a goal that must be achieved, not just this black street."
Alice did not speak.
But her hand had already grasped the hilt of the sword, and her tense fingers showed her inner caution.
...
In the believer base, Lindsay knelt in front of a seriously injured teenager, treating the deep wound on his chest that could be seen to the bone.
He first stuffed a piece of [Sky Island Trout Jerky] into the other party, and then used his own potion. Then, the drug took effect, the dried fish provided physical strength, and the flesh near the boy's wound slowly moved and repaired, like a rag that was forced to recover.
But the whole treatment process.
The boy endured the severe pain, even though his forehead was covered with cold sweat, he still didn't say a word.
"Does it hurt?" Lindsay asked casually while bandaging the other party's wound skillfully, with a tone as light as chatting.
The boy shook his head vigorously and pursed his lips.
"You are not old, but you are good at lying." Lindsay chuckled, then patted the boy's shoulder, "Bear it, live well."
After he said that, he stood up and glanced around casually.
The scene in the base was noisier than when he first arrived.
In the makeshift treatment area, groans came one after another, some of the wounded struggled to stand up, and some were already dying.
The believers shuttled through it, their movements were clumsy and hasty.
But because of Liz's command, the situation was getting better little by little.
"Lindsay, your companions are here too."
At this time, Prizm's voice came from the other end of the ruins.
Linsay turned around and saw Alice walking in from outside the believer base.
The girl's sword was still stained with blood, her face was cold, and the law knight behind her was carrying a disabled woman.
When the people around saw Alice, they subconsciously avoided her.
Alice walked straight to Lindsay, glanced at the wounded behind him, and directly described the battle situation just now:
"Lindsay, all the enemies blocking us have been solved."
"This is the woman who was shouting just now. Like my skills, she is indulging desires."
Lindsay raised his eyebrows:
"I killed a guy who used arrogance as his power."
"You are indulging in lust, and I am arrogant..."
Heller reminded at the right time:
"The villain I killed has greed as the core of his skills."
"..."
"All of them are powers related to original sin."
The three people's eyes met.
They are all experienced awakeners, and they can directly guess the situation of the Abyss School.
Lindsay did not discuss this.
Instead, he opened the map and covered the reconnaissance range to this block.
"My map can still find some fish that have slipped through the net."
"Alice, come with me."
Alice would naturally not refuse:
"Yes, no matter what their purpose is, let's clean up the black street first."
The girl pointed at the indulgent and said to Heller:
"Mr. Heller, I'll leave the torture of intelligence to you."
"Just don't kill her."
...
The arrival of the Law Knights quickly restored stability to the black street.
Lindsay and Alice worked together to clean up the remaining Abyss School awakeners in the street.
Just checked.
Red marks are not necessarily all enemies.
Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)
Those ordinary people who were already desperate had already collapsed, and the dissipation of the black fog on the street became the fuse that made them completely crazy.
Lindsay did not kill these people.
Knocked them out and controlled them, and let the local law knights deal with them. This was the right choice.
It only took half an hour.
When they happened to pass by a ruin, Lindsay noticed something strange.
His [atmospheric touch] told him that the ruins next to him moved, but there was no living person inside, only a corpse lying.
Lindsay immediately went over, lifted the ruins, and took a closer look.
"This..."
"Corruption poison!?"
This word needs no explanation. Alice has also experienced the war in the wasteland world.
The two looked at each other.
The resurrection of the dead is the influence left by the Abyss School in ancient times.
Now in the [City of Law], what tricks do they seem to be doing?
However, before Lindsay and Alice could act, a deafening roar came from a distance.
Boom——
The ground shook violently, and the rubble on the buildings and walls slid down.
Lindsay raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound.
[Atmospheric touch] told him that a tall figure stood on the inner ring wall of [City of Law].
It was a giant covered with crimson light, and the black fog behind him rolled like a beast.
His eyes swept across the entire city like a torch.
Accompanied by a low roar, the temperature in the air seemed to rise a few degrees!
"The power of anger..."
Alice sighed at the same time.
She did not have [atmospheric touch], but she could sense the emotions in the other party's source.
At this time.
The angry man clenched his fists, and his voice exploded like thunder over the city:
"Everyone come out, we must not fail this time!"
He suddenly raised his fists and smashed them hard on the ground.
"Boom--"
Accompanied by violent vibrations, a deep red shock wave spread out from the angry man as the center, instantly destroying the surrounding city.
At the same time, black fog also emerged in other parts of the city.
It spread rapidly under the cover of darkness!
"He is calling other awakeners!" Lindsay's face was solemn, "In addition to the arrogance that I killed, there are other awakeners who can use black fog. Their goal this time is even the entire city!"
Alice drew her sword, and her calm voice penetrated the street:
"Everyone, prepare to fight!"
The two were ready.
The sky in the distance was dyed dark red by the churning black fog, like the huge mouth of the abyss opened again, swallowing the entire city.
The battle in the black street has just ended, but a greater crisis has also arrived!
