Chapter 625: The Simple Folk Customs of Old Langdun

"Hold the line!" Daniel gave the order.

There were clacking sounds all around, and the keepers all transformed their cold weapons. Chen Ke was very puzzled. Why in such a situation, they actually thought of using cold weapons for hand-to-hand combat first.

The frenzied residents rushed to the small square from all directions, occupying an absolute advantage in numbers, and Chen Ke noticed that these residents were slightly alienated, and they did not look like normal humans at all.

What on earth did they go through to become like this? Chen Ke could not help but think of Xu Jing's explanation of the disappearance of 2006: the gods turned everyone into a clan, which almost interrupted human history, so the Foundation launched a meme attack, making 2006 disappear from the timeline and replaced it with another 2006.

And this is consistent with the statement of the Foundation in reality...

It's just that in the real world of 2137, there is no room for them to modify the past, so the extinction of mankind can only rely on continuous restarts to find opportunities in the dream world.

Chen Ke understood. Langdon in the 19th century had also faced such a situation, but they changed the way they put it. The filthy blood infected and eroded the residents, which was just another form of alienation. The keeper used some method to isolate the alienated area from reality. Although this method was not as radical as the foundation of Xu Jing, nor as tragic as the foundation in the real world, it was also a big deal.

But Chen Ke didn't know how the keeper did it.

"Ahhhhhh!!!!!!"

These residents raised their sharp axes and knives, roared furiously and rushed into the keeper's defense circle. Chen Ke heard a few shots from shotguns, followed by close combat and knife-to-knife fighting.

The cold weapons collided with each other, playing a cruel and heroic symphony of death. The keeper with the axe attacked the crowd, while the keeper with the meat saw quickly shuttled through the crowd, tearing open their waists and abdomens with the serrated blade and pulling out their flesh and blood.

Chen Ke also picked up his weapon and started shooting. Full-size rifle bullets were invincible in this era, not to mention that Chen Ke had unlimited divine blood bullets, so he didn't even need to change magazines.

But there were too many people on the other side, and soon, the first victim appeared. A keeper had just cut open the chest of an alienated resident, and was dragged into the crowd by six or seven people holding his hands and feet.

They tore off his clothes and peeled off his flesh. The sharp knife suddenly pierced his cheek, blooming blood-red flowers. The sharp axe and the rusty saw with serrations cut his muscles into pieces. A large hole was torn in his abdomen from the outside, and the iron hook stretched in, pulling all his internal organs out of his body. The keeper could only scream while watching his body shattered.

No one could save him. In Chen Ke's vision, these residents had no outline at all, and could not provide him with murderous aura. Just like the situation encountered on the Endurance, they were not real.

"Ah!!! Ugh!!!" Another keeper fell down, lying on the ground, dragged by the residents into the crowd, holding the mud tightly with both hands, shouting to his companions.

"Kill me! Quick!" The keeper shouted, because he knew that once he was dragged into the crowd, he would die in great pain. However, no one was free to respond. All the keepers present had to face the attack of ten residents at the same time. Although these manic residents were not a very powerful opponent in front of the keepers, there were too many of them and they could not spare any hands.

Chen Ke raised his gun and aimed at the keeper's head and fired a shot, which opened his head, which was also a good way to let him go.

Just after doing this, more and more residents appeared from the street corner. More than a dozen residents had already rushed to Chen Ke and chopped him with sharp blades in their hands.

Chen Ke freed his left hand and snapped his fingers. With a bang, more than a dozen residents were blown away. He changed his weapon to a double-barreled short-handled shotgun that was more suitable for close combat. He pulled the trigger at the resident who rushed over from the right. The divine blood bullet split out and blasted a bloody hole in the resident's chest.

Chen Ke found that the bodies of the dead residents would quickly melt into a pool of blood and disappear. Looking at the residents who kept emerging around him, he immediately realized that there would be no end to killing like this.

"Find an opportunity to break through as soon as possible! Kill the one who rings the bell, otherwise this matter will never end!" Daniel's voice came from behind another group of people.

The four secret keepers formed a meat grinder. They fought with shotguns and meat saws, killing a bloody path in the crowd and moving towards the low-rise buildings across the street.

Chen Ke knew that he guessed right. These residents were indeed endless, and the ethereal bell sound was the key.

Seeing that the four secret keepers finally rushed to the other side of the street, several monsters with shiny wings on their backs suddenly crawled out from the inside of the building wall. Their faces were occupied by two large insect compound eyes, and half of their body tissues were insect-like central control chitin. The wings on their backs fluttered, making disturbing noises.

The four secret keepers unfolded their meat saws, which turned into something like a long-handled sickle. At the same time, they stretched out their shotguns in their left hands and shot at the insect people on the wall.

The 19th century bullets were not powerful enough. Even Chen Ke could see the slow flight trajectory of the fired bullets. The insect people dodged the gunfire without suspense, and immediately jumped off the wall and fell on the secret keepers, tearing their throats with their claws.

"Oh! Bug people!" Ingod exclaimed. He took out his pistol and shot the resident who was about to attack him, then turned and ran to the south side of the fountain.

The name was really simple, but the appearance of the bug people reminded Chen Ke of the bird people he encountered in 2006. A circle of residents surrounded him again.

Chen Ke put his left hand on the chest of a resident, raised the short-barreled shotgun to his waist with his right hand, and blasted the opponent's abdomen to pieces with one shot, then snapped his fingers to his right, blowing away a group of residents.

"Where is the bell ringer?" Chen Ke looked for Daniel in the crowd.

"They won't be too far away. Follow the direction of the bell and kill them to end it all!" Daniel's voice came from behind Chen Ke.

It turned out that the old man Daniel had just run behind the fountain. Chen Ke changed his weapon to an automatic rifle, and his whole body flashed with purple light, summoning Kratos's ascension suit.

The ringing sound came from the building at the far end of the square. Chen Ke's eyes flashed with a blue halo, but his spiritual vision could not cover that area. He flew into the air with a double jump, then launched a charge, suddenly rushed forward in the air for a while, and then landed on the ground.

This move made all the secret keepers look sideways. They had never seen a holy object, let alone any secret skills. After landing, Chen Ke fired a few shots, sending away the residents around him, and then rushed to the insect man. Suddenly, a red big sword appeared in his right hand, and he smashed it down at the insect man.
