Chapter 194 Found the Puppy
Chapter 194 Found the Puppy
Under the blood moon, steam train No. 611 slowly approached and stopped not far from the huge town.
The sparks from the locomotive formed a dazzling sparkle in the moonlight, and the sound of wheels rubbing against rails broke the tranquility of the night.
Shihui and Momo had already seen the huge city wall, but it was now in ruins. The huge city gate was blocked from the outside by giant trees and sand and stones, as if they were afraid that something inside would run out.
Horod stopped the train, walked out of the boiler room with a pipe in his mouth, stood next to the two people outside, and said, "This is the damn place, Kakalong City, a completely abandoned city."
Looking at the familiar building in the distance, Horod vaguely remembered the prosperity of that time, the constant sound of train whistles, and all the merchants coming and going would gather here.
"It looks pretty good, but I don't know if I can find the location mentioned in the riddle~"
Shihui stretched himself and felt much more awakened by the biting cold wind outside the car.
For me, worrying about danger is the most unnecessary thing. Instead, it is a kind of protection. After all, the number of obedient undead in the city is so scary and shocking.
Holrod took a puff of his cigarette, stared into the distance and asked, "Aren't you going to wait until they are all awake before leaving?"
The two of them were now preparing to leave immediately while everyone was still asleep, so as to avoid delaying the train journey and wasting time. After all, the thick fog would not disappear because of family affection.
Shihui kept jumping up and down to stretch his muscles and chuckled, "If we wait until those guys wake up, it will be a big trouble again. It will take too much time to appease them."
"Then their safety is in your hands~"
As the words fell, the Hell Knights in the shadows quickly got into the carriage. This was the only way to protect them remotely, otherwise she really might not dare to leave them and go alone.
Momo turned around and said, "The track has been changed, old man. You can just bypass Kakalong City and leave. And Hilde, now that you are ready, let's go. We will try to win quickly and come back as quickly as possible."
"Humph, you can't catch up even if you die of exhaustion!"
Holrod really couldn't stand Momo's mysterious confidence. How could he dare to say that? He chased after them at the fastest speed; as long as he drove at a normal speed, he would be able to leave the two of them far behind.
Seeing this, Shihui could only raise the right corner of his mouth helplessly, shrug his shoulders and spread his hands. After all, Horod really disliked him and could only stay by his side and in the boiler room.
"Let's go then. Those two guys might realize I'm awake soon. And old man, remember to have someone stay behind the car to patrol. If you encounter any disgusting monsters, just go full speed ahead and shake them off."
Horod waved his hands repeatedly and said impatiently: "Okay, okay, I get it, I'm not that stupid!"
Shihui was afraid that something might happen to them because they didn't patrol. After all, Ye Yuan was not on the train, so she couldn't act as an automatic patrol camera, so she couldn't prepare for a counterattack in advance.
The two men crossed the connection and prepared to jump directly onto the roof of the car and leave quickly.
"boom!"
At this moment, the door was opened heavily, and Olena and Annie, who were wearing pajamas, were looking at them angrily. They were so anxious that they didn't even wear shoes and ran over barefoot.
"Miss Hilde, do you want to leave without saying goodbye?"
"Mom is so annoying for not telling Annie!"
"This is your private matter. I'll wait for you upstairs."
After Momo finished speaking, he quickly jumped onto the roof of the car and stroked Ye Yuan. After all, he had been involved in this several times. It could be said that talking to women made him the most vulnerable to concentrated fire.
Faced with these two guys, Shi Hui sighed helplessly, walked up to the angry Annie and picked her up directly. Annie felt extremely aggrieved in his arms and kept sobbing softly.
"Mom hates... If you don't tell Annie, then I won't let you go..."
If she hadn't even seen Lime's face, she would definitely be even more heartbroken than she is now.
Or maybe she subconsciously picked up some lime while sleeping and missed it. She woke up from her dream and found that her mother was not in bed. She hurriedly shook Oleina on the bed, and the two of them hurried out.
Shihui rubbed her little head and comforted her: "You promised me not to cheat. Don't worry, Annie, I will be back soon."
Annie raised her little head and asked, "How much is soon?"
"It's probably just enough time for a nap~"
"That's too long!"
Hearing that she had to sleep for such a long time, Annie became even more unhappy. No one wanted her to leave in the first place, let alone leave for such a long time. Last time, at least she could catch up quickly, but this time, she might only be able to run along the railway tracks.
Oleina, who was leaning against the door, spoke with a lot of resentment: "Miss Hilde, don't you have anything to say to me?"
Shihui even turned his head to think for a while, then threw the Blood and Flesh Codex in his shoulder bag to her, and explained to Ou Lei's shocked and puzzled eyes: "You can only use this thing for close combat and fists and feet. You are not allowed to use any of the complex abilities I used before."
This was also the maximum permission she had obtained after her personal experience. After all, using this thing to launch such a large-scale attack was not something anyone could afford. If the user yesterday was not herself, who knows what the situation would be like. She might even be the next Spider-Man.
"Unless there is absolutely no danger that cannot be resolved, you are absolutely not allowed to connect to it at will!"
Since Oleina can use the Tome of Flesh and Blood and come back intact, and the extremely simple boxing and kicking skills in her mind will not forcibly distort the host, then we can still feel a little relieved.
Looking at the Blood and Flesh Codex in her hand, Oulena held it tightly, feeling an indescribable feeling in her heart, either sadness or happiness, or perhaps both.
"I understand, Miss Hilde. I will never use it carelessly!"
This thing's mouth is the hardest to close, and once the link is established, the Flesh and Blood Grimoire probably won't be so easy to remove without lime.
After putting Annie down from his arms, Shihui kissed her little face and said gently: "You must wait for me to come back obediently."
"I understand, Mom..."
Although she was very happy to be kissed, Shihui's departure made her extremely sad. After all, she might not see her for a long time.
Under the gaze of the two, Shi Hui teleported to the roof of the car, and sat on Ye Yuan and Momo and flew quickly towards the top of Kakalong City.
Seeing that the two little ones were not going back, Holod immediately said: "What are you two little girls looking at? If you catch a cold, there is no medicine in the car!"
Now that autumn has arrived, the temperature has dropped, and the boiler room, which used to be extremely hot, has become a little warmer. If it were winter, the coal consumption would be even greater.
After hearing what Holrod said, the two of them could only close the door and return to their room helplessly.
Sitting on the bed, Oulena looked quietly at the Tome of Flesh and Blood in her hand, with an unseen confusion in her eyes.
[What? Are you starting to get sentimental already?]
The voice of the Flesh and Blood Codex entered her mind again, causing her eyes to widen. She immediately asked in her mind, "How can you still communicate with me through your mind so easily? Didn't Miss Hilde cut off the connection?"
[It was indeed cut off, but now I am back in your hands. Naturally, I can establish a connection directly without the headache like before. The adaptation rate will also be improved. However, the only constant is the price, so you'd better remember my Lord's words.]
"So that's how it is. I thought you were up to some trick again... What on earth were those things yesterday?"
[Blood Blades, Bone Spikes, and Blood Vine: My Lord utilizes these three abilities to manipulate the bones of dead monsters to attack their own kind. This way, the more monsters are killed, the faster they will be killed, and the penetration speed will also increase. Not to mention the Blood Blades, their blood is the best weapon to cut through my skin.]
This was a shocking scene, but it also cost me 70% of my stored energy. I managed to replenish some of it by devouring that disgusting blood ball, but it was already half depleted.
"Ms. Hilde is truly amazing..."
These two skills are available in the memories provided by the Flesh and Blood Codex, but Oleina is unable to manipulate them skillfully. It's like an ordinary person trying to learn how to fly like a witch by riding on a broom. It's simply impossible. The best he can do is to violently pick up the broom and attack.
"Don't be discouraged. You've already surpassed countless others, including those so-called Blood Warriors. It's simply because my Lord's magical talent is so strong, coupled with her frequent use of magic, that she can control it so easily. Even if you're only second best, you have a strong will."
After hearing this, her mood did not improve. She took out the cabinet, put the magic book in it and closed it.
"I can only hope that Miss Hilde returns soon."
······Kakalong City·City Wall
The two were currently standing on top of a gigantic city wall that was nearly forty meters high, while the houses in the city below were dilapidated and collapsed, and the zombies were moving slowly, looking like wild monsters in the game that had not locked onto their targets.
"Wow~ I can't believe this city has been so badly damaged by the virus. There are so many zombies and undead~"
Listening to Shihui's remarks that showed he didn't care about human lives, Momo could only respond: "At that time, the entire city was forcibly blocked from the outside. No one in the city could leave. The only thing they could do was wait for death or struggle in vain. Isn't there a large area of houses burned by flames over there? It should be caused by the desperate fight back."
Shihui yawned after hearing this. She had no interest in knowing how these people died. She just knew that she had these slaves for her own use.
"If there is an underground space in this ruined city, where do you think it is most likely?"
Momo pointed to the six-story building in the center of the city without hesitation and said, "That's it. It's also the auction place for all rare species and props. At that time, they had no chance to take the props and valuables away. For the two of us, it is a huge treasure that no one has touched!"
"Whether we can find things like magic props depends entirely on you, Miss Hilde. I'm sure nothing can escape your sight!"
"And there seems to be a huge building there that has existed for a long, long time. Even now it has not been damaged, which makes people have to doubt..."
"How could there be so many good things left behind?"
"Because 90% of the people in the entire city didn't make it out alive, and those who did were killed and burned, you can see how many good things there are here. Maybe there's something or a prop you want in some ruins, on the ground, or in a house."
"Hahaha, you've made me excited~"
Hearing Momo's affirmative words, Shihui's collecting addiction came back, and he had a crazy idea of turning the whole city upside down and looting it clean.
Thinking of this, she shook her head: "Time is running out, we don't have time to waste time somewhere else."
Momo looked at the other person's fiery eyes and asked, "Do you want me to fly over directly on the Night Kite, or should I help you catch the Soul Devourer first?"
Shihui, with golden eyes shining, stood up and said with a joking smile: "I think I have seen the child~".
"So fast?!"
Under the observation of the Demon Eye, even the Soul Devourer was much brighter than a light bulb in her eyes, and it was as easy to search for it in this lifeless place as if it was in front of a fish tank with no obstruction.
Momo was really shocked this time. He had thought that the Soul Devourer would be very difficult to find, but he didn't expect this guy to find it right away when he arrived. Moreover, his ability to capture such a being as the Soul Devourer was unimaginable.
"Okay, hero, follow me~"
Shihui stood at the edge of the city wall, opened his arms, and jumped down on his back without any hesitation or delay.
"What a madman!"
Although Momo said that, he was actually a little excited. What exactly does the elusive Soul-Eating Demon look like? Can he escape from the hands of the Daughter of Death?
He mounted Ye Yuan and jumped down.
When he was about to fall to the ground, Lime's figure disappeared out of thin air, and finally appeared out of thin air in front of the zombies below.
Momo made an emergency landing in mid-air. He did not have the same crazy ideas and abilities as the other party.
"He displays kindness and generosity towards those he protects, but once he leaves them, he completely unleashes his true nature..."
The appearance of Lime was like the hungry fish in the fish tank seeing food. The zombies that were originally eating too much quickened their pace and rushed towards her.
Shi Hui ignored this and conjured up a card symbolizing the goddess of death out of thin air, injecting the power of death in the ring into it. The golden lines on the originally useless card burst into a black and gold light.
All the zombies that rushed over with low roars were sucked in. No matter how many rushed over, they could not fill this black card.
Faced with such an outrageous scene, even Momo in the sky began to wonder if he was hallucinating. How could that card be such an outrageous prop? Although it was said that only death could control it, it didn't say it would be so powerful.
"He's the nemesis of the undead..."
Seeing that a large area of space had been cleared below, Momo finally landed on the ground. The lime in front of him was still moving neither fast nor slow, as if he was taking a stroll. All the undead that rushed over were sucked into the black cards without exception.
Momo just followed behind her and watched. Perhaps because he felt it was boring, Shihui stopped and said impatiently: "These guys really never learn their lesson and won't listen!"
As the words fell, the black and purple flames quickly turned into a shawl and were draped over her. Momo behind her immediately distanced herself from her and was almost attacked by the other party's indiscriminate curse.
The lime stopped supplying energy to the card. No matter how many undead were sucked in, it was useless. This card was like an endless black hole. No one knew where those undead had gone. She could not sense the situation inside at all.
But when the shawl of the goddess of death appeared, all the undead stopped and even kept retreating. The rotten faces that should have been expressionless in death actually showed fear and kept making way for her.
"Your Majesty!"
"Shh!"
All the undead knelt in the most humble posture, but one undead stood out from the crowd and had not yet recovered from his shock.
Shi Hui raised the corner of his mouth, with a morbid and evil smile: "Found it, my lovely puppy~"
