Chapter 344 Rotten Corpse
"Squeak~"
Accompanied by a harsh sound, the heavy and dilapidated black wooden door slowly opened, and the pungent smell of decay and mold mixed together and rushed out.
Xu Ruoguang frowned slightly, walked around the old soldier who automatically made way after opening the door, and took the lead to step in first.
The old soldiers behind him looked at each other, and then followed in helplessly.
They were not afraid of anything, but they were also retired veterans. They had prosthetic limbs and could move freely, while these veterans were all crowded here waiting to "rot".
This rare difference can easily make people think of something, especially since the captain leading the team is a confidant of the manager of this gathering place. They don't want to give the manager a bad impression before their true intentions are exposed.
As for the No. 2 Veteran Camp itself, they felt that there was nothing that could not be seen...
"Swish!"
Xu Ruoguang stepped into it and drew his sword slightly. He turned his head and glanced at the veterans following behind him with his peripheral vision. He said coldly, "Is this what you call absolute safety?"
For some reason, even if it was just a game, Xu Ruoguang had zero tolerance for any heretics in this game world except humans.
Any human who was infected with heresy needed to be thoroughly eliminated. This was the only way out for humans.
Cutting off the rotten flesh, even if it would hurt the bones, was the only way to ensure the health of the entire body.
Mysophobia? Or was the sense of substitution too strong?
Xu Ruoguang didn't know. He only knew that he was extremely sensitive to the existence of heresy.
In the past few days, he had led the Black Street Guard composed of veterans to clear out many Black Street residents who were still involved with the devil.
These ordinary humans who had witnessed the existence of the devil with their own eyes...or even had personal contact with it twice, had a very high corruption rate.
In every moment of their distraction, in every night of their dreams, those corrupting whispers invisibly eroded their will.
Not every ordinary person has a strong enough heart.
And right now, those high-dimensional demons are once again showing their fangs in their erosion of humanity.
The stench of corpses rushed straight into the nose, and under the blessing of some immortal authority, humans became "immortal" monsters!
"Uh~"
"Uh~"
Uncontrollable moans sounded from those corrupt throats, gray eyeballs bulged out strangely, faces melted like candles, and only barely maintained a human shape.
The sound of the door opening startled these unconscious wandering figures, so they all turned their heads stiffly and looked over...
"Click!" The few veterans following Xu Ruoguang took out their pistols or rifles and subconsciously opened the safety when they saw their former compatriots become like that.
Bullets loaded.
The deputy captain, who was one of the veterans except Xu Ruoguang, stepped forward cautiously and frowned, asking, "Old Lin, what's wrong with you?"
The original appearance could still be vaguely seen on those corrupted faces. The deputy captain, who was quite familiar with every one of his compatriots, tried to communicate with him.
However, in response, there was only the smelly saliva that was about to drip from the corners of his mouth, and the snoring in his throat like a vicious dog.
"Haven't you noticed yet? Your companions have completely joined the devil's camp!"
Xu Ruoguang drew his sword, and the snow light flashed across the wall.
The target has been confirmed. Humans who join the eternal demons will become this kind of rotten corpse.
Not every eternal demon can be merciful and give the same blessing to every believer. Most of them just bless them with a certain "life" authority.
Fearless of illness will not lose their lives due to bacterial and viral infection, but their bodies and even their minds will be corroded by the power from the higher dimension into a state that humans cannot accept.
Facing such an opponent, the only way is... to kill!
Xu Ruoguang flashed, and bullet time started.
The long sword swept across the throat, but did not bring the withering of life.
When turning into corpses, these bodies also lost the vital points of normal humans.
Their lives have been completely "digitized". Only by using enough damage to empty their life points can these creatures that are neither human nor ghost be completely purified.
"What are you waiting for?" As the sword light fell like snow, Xu Ruoguang's cold voice also sounded.
He urged the veterans following him to take action.
Although they left their compatriots here, these veterans just wanted to use the secular predicament to make their brothers completely recognize this real world and join their great cause.
They never really wanted to abandon these brothers who came out of the same predicament... On the contrary, they respected these brothers who had self-persistence more.
People with more firm beliefs will be tougher after changing their positions.
But no matter how much they wanted to find out why their compatriots in the past became what they are now, they had to pull the trigger under Xu Ruoguang's order.
The fact is in front of us. The brothers who have been corrupted into the minions of the devil can no longer turn back...
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The simple guns made by the black street made a single shot, and the bodies of several corpses were shot to pieces.
However, the gunshots undoubtedly attracted the attention of the corpses deeper in the veteran camp, so more twisted figures rushed over with their seemingly broken bodies.
These corpses are not flexible enough in small-scale movements, but their straight-line speed is quite amazing.
The number of people is far greater than this patrol team. When they rush over one after another, the pressure is astonishing. Moreover, their rotting claws are full of deadly germs. If they are scratched casually, they may need to be recuperated and treated for more than half a month. Armed with a gun The veteran retreated subconsciously.
Move the battlefield to the wider street outside the door.
Fortunately, it was evening, and the curfew order on weekdays meant that there was no one on the rainy streets.
"boom!"
"boom!"
The sound of gunshots spread far away in this calm night with only the patter of rain falling. The residents hiding in their homes were awakened from their sleep, their eyes were slightly in a trance, and they murmured to themselves, "We are purging dissidents again..."
It's like this every day...It's like this every day...
Who knows whether the people they killed were heretics or just compatriots who simply didn't like it?
When will days like this end?
Hey~
"Stop talking, the guards all obey the adults..." The wife tugged at the corner of the man's clothes, but he roughly shook her away.
"Don't touch me! I've been seeing you and the guy leading the guard flirting with each other for a long time. Don't speak for them!"
"I..." Cold tears fell from her face, and the woman huddled in the corner, hugging her knees, just shedding tears.
The rain washed away everything.
Including the ichor that oozes from rotting corpses.
In the roadside ravines covered with grease and moss, the light yellow pus flowed to the lower ground under the wash of rain. As a corpse charged forward desperately, it was swept away by a stream of water. Pang Ran suddenly pulled back and hit the door panel. At some point, a thin figure wearing a linen raincoat blocked the center of the battle between the veteran and the corpse.
"stop!"
Xu Ruoguang flicked the edge of his sword from the diagonal striding posture, wiped the rainwater on his face, and looked at the figure blocking the middle with cold eyes, "What do you want to do?"
"They..." the rat man's voice trembled slightly, because he was facing things that he was not good at dealing with, and he seemed unconfident. "They are harmless."
They just live in a corner. As long as they are not disturbed by sudden disturbances, they will not mutate into rotting corpses at all, let alone take the initiative to attack other humans.
They are also the people favored by the merciful Heavenly Father. The Rat People know the lives of these ordinary believers who may have a more humble status.
Respect for the Heavenly Father does not require calling His name directly, offering sacrifices, or even knowing His existence at all. The benevolent Heavenly Father will treat every poor person who wants to escape suffering but has no means. Giving blessings, this is what is called a "believer".
And only the "chosen ones" who are more "favored" are the ones like him who have special "random blessings" and can maintain their own form with consciousness.
We all have the same origin.
This is also the core reason why after he settled in the underworld, he took the initiative to help these disabled veterans because of the attraction of the "similar" atmosphere.
But now, do even these "harmless" ordinary people have to be brutally exposed to the sun?
"Harmless?" Xu Ruoguang sneered coldly, pointing his sword at the earthy yellow solution mixed with rainwater flowing in the sewer, "Look at those stinky puss! How many people have been sick from it during this period, as a housekeeper, you The personal guards shouldn’t have access to these core data, right?”
After the adults issued decrees requiring the construction of bathhouses, drinking hot water and other measures, the disease rate in the black street increased instead of falling. This abnormal change aroused Xu Ruoguang's vigilance, which was also the core reason for his spot check tonight.
Perhaps these rotting corpses have no intention of actively harming others, but their existence itself is a threat to humans!
This is heresy! Their very existence is blasphemy!
"Get out of the way!" Xu Ruoguang swung his sword, shaking off the rotten flesh and blood attached to the sword, and then pointed the sword at the rat man, "You are a trusted confidant of my lord, I won't do anything to you today! But when my lord comes back, I will eventually ask for an explanation from the Lord! But now... don't hinder me from carrying out my official duties!"
"They are innocent!" The Rat Man spoke stupidly and didn't know how to defend himself.
He simply didn't expect that his "identity" was not valued at all by the other party. He just stretched out his arms with a blank mind, covering the carrion behind him like a chicken, and slowly backed away.
"Bang!" A gunshot sounded behind him.
Tiger held a cane in one hand and limped out quickly from the innermost part of the yard.
The gunshot came from his right hand.
"Are there any survivors?" Seeing that there were still normal people walking out of the corpse cave, Xu Ruoguang's eyes narrowed and he gestured to the veteran guards behind him, "Get ready to protect!"
Suppress all heretics and protect all human beings.
This is what he believes in.
"Look at yourselves!" Tiger's eyes widened in anger, looking at these companions who were just chatting with him.
Right in front of his eyes, these companions, stimulated by the gunfire, quickly transformed from their original normal human forms into their current corrupt appearance.
Are the changes temporary, or have they already begun?
Tiger doesn't know.
He only knew that this blasphemous existence was the enemy of all mankind.
"Look at what you look like now!" Tiger's eyes swept over the former companions who turned their attention to him because of the sound of gunfire.
The gray-white bulging eyeballs on the dilapidated face looked disgusting.
"Our duty is to protect this world for mankind!"
Even though these chaotic heretics are not the regular opponents of their ordinary soldiers, they are also the enemies of mankind!
"You are becoming the enemy of mankind! Who allows you to blaspheme your innate duty like this!" Tiger stood in the rain, not knowing whether it was rain or tears mixed together, falling from his face.
Facing the strangers so close, the corpses had no desire to attack.
The gray-white eyeballs blinked slightly, and a thick ink color slowly emerged from the middle.
It was like the self-consciousness was trying to control the body.
"I know that maybe we can no longer go to the battlefield to kill enemies for mankind, but this is definitely not a reason for our depravity!" Tiger's words were fierce. Everything he heard and saw in recent days made him sad and angry.
"We no longer have the ability to kill for humanity, but we can't go against humanity no matter what. If necessary, I can shed every drop of blood for the city."
During the days away from the barracks, even if life was a little worse, the past fighting for humanity always flashed in my memory like glittering gold.
That was the most proud career in this life.
"Just a little physical suffering made you lose the pride of being a human warrior. Do you still remember the blood and sweat you shed for fighting for it?"
"Click!" The bullets of the self-defense pistol were loaded again. Tiger clamped the crutches under his armpits, raised the pistol horizontally, and pointed it at his former companions, "Do we have to fight each other with swords and guns?"
"No..." The rotten throat struggled.
The bodies of the rotten corpses began to tremble obviously.
"No! No!"
"We... are brothers."
"We... have never been enemies."
The rotten old soldier shed tears of blood, and his rotten face showed a strong apology that only belongs to humans.
"I'm sorry..."
"I'm sorry, brother."
The corpse knelt on the ground, begging for death.
"Kill us."
"Kill!" Xu Ruoguang gave a cold order.
Hu frowned.
He just didn't want to see his brothers become like this, but he didn't want to see them die.
The veterans were also thinking about the natural comradeship and were reluctant to take action.
Xu Ruoguang frowned, snatched the rifle from one of the veterans, and kicked the stiff body away.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The gunshots continued, and then a short and clear voice was heard from afar through the rain.
"Don't kill them!"
