When Peter and his squad rushed into the town, they met several corpses with pale blue skin walking around on the streets like normal humans. A small amount of faint black mists almost invisible to the normal human's eyes was being released from the bodies of these walking strange corpses. They somehow immediately felt the disgusting atmosphere originating from them. It was as if they were born to be enemies with those disgusting guys.
They made no sound. Ben waved his hand and signaled to attack directly.
* Pa ! Pa ! Pa ! Pa ! ... *
Various suppressed gunshots sounded and the normal looking walking corpses on the sidewalks silently turned into ash one by one. They didn't stand a chance against purification holy bullets which were designed to specially target evil and negative energies.
The whole squad felt that something bad had happened to the town. They wanted to curse someone but they knew who to curse at. However, they were not too late yet. As they eliminated the several strange corpses on the street, several people ran out from the nearby houses with various guns in their hands.
There was even a young woman with two cute little girls. Although they had no idea who these armored strangers were, they felt that the ones who easily eliminated the evil ones would not be bad guys. They chose to rely on Peter's squad.
As for pointing at them for killing people? They were no fools. They heard dense gunshots coming from the middle area of the town a while ago hence forth they were afraid to go out. After all, home is a safe place when they also have weapons in their hands. Many people thought so.
That was also the main reason why many townsmen suffered. If they chose to directly run away from the town with the cars, large part of them would be able to escape.
The strange corpses were so weird. They seemed to possess a certain memories. They acted exactly like a normal living human. They also knew how to open doors. They couldn't see anything but they could sense their surrounding with a kind of strange will which was bred in them just soon after they died.
They looked like a corpse but their whole body was in fact composed and shaped by strange combination of death energies and unstable bio-molecules. Normal firearms could only damage them lightly. No matter how fierce the firepower is, one will not be able to eliminate them unless a holy thing is involved.
That was also why townsmen suffered in face of these strange corpses. One by one, hiding people were found out. Attacks were invalid and they were transformed into similar strange corpses one after another.
Peter felt very anxious and he realized the seriousness of the matter. He wanted to protect these survivors but he also understood that the bigger guy was going to arrive soon. They didn't have time to waste.
"Ben! We must complete our plan quickly. Otherwise, everyone here might die. Or we better abandon this town directly.", said Peter anxiously. Then, he remembered that their communication system was scrapped and they didn't have time to get another one yet.
They have money and can buy another one easily. But the problem is Titan company grades various products into different levels and the one they need is graded as level three item. Simply, they would need to place the order and wait for a week at least before they could get it. It was not that verification took too much time, but it was that items above grade three were not stocked. Only when the order was placed, the company would produce them.
Now, Peter felt regretted a lot and wondered why he didn't just buy grade four item with similar functions like walkie-talkie and no need of portable box server.
But he could waste a lot of time in thinking. Peter gestured his squad to move fast and he slight accelerated his pace towards the town's central area. Armored men made gestures and started to accelerated. Several survivors were confused and scared by their sudden action. One of the six armored men looked back at the several people who came out to follow them and made a rushing gesture.
There were three men, two women and two little girls. The men looked burly. One of the two women was an old retired woman in her late fifties. The other woman was a young woman who seemed to be in her late twenties and she was also the mother of two little girls. Unlike her pale blonde hairs, the two little girls owned black and brown hairs respectively. Moreover, their facial looks were also different.
The neighbor men knew the remarkable young woman because this neighbor adopted back two little girls at one day. They were also familiar with each other.
Looking at the gestures made by armored men and their accelerating gesture, one of the men realized that the two little girls might not be able to make it along with them although they might be able to follow tightly behind.
"Connell! Get your pickup. I will also go and get mine. We need to be fast. Otherwise, Ivy and Liz will fall into danger.", the man said quickly and ran back to his house. The other man looked anxious but he only paused for two seconds then he quickly rushed back to his house to get the pickup in the garage.
After a while, a pickup and an off-road vehicle caught up with seven armored men carefully walking towards the town's center along the only street. They got no other way than that because the small town only got four main streets leading to four different directions. These were all two lanes asphalt streets and they would meet in the town's center, the bell tower, and circle it around.
The other small backstreets alleys existed but the survivors didn't want to take risk. However, Peter and his squad didn't know about these alleys because they were not native townsmen who were familiar with the town environment. Unfortunately, they also got no way to communicate with these survivors.
If they wanted, they could take off their helmets and ask these people. But they didn't bother to do it.
There were three reasons for them to do so. The first one was that they thought that there might be living people in the central area, especially Emma. The second reason was that they wanted to complete the ceremony and slowly eliminate the threats in the area. Then, they would defend against the powerful but unknown evil guy until the reinforcements from the church arrived.
Of course, the third reason was that they thought that there was only one way here and they would need to pass through the central area no matter what.
When they noticed that the survivors were following them with their vehicles, they silently felt glad and fortunate. After all, they might not be able to spare a lot of efforts to protect these people.
At that time, on the dirt road beside the highway road which was nearly six miles away from the town, a large group of people were moving along the highway road leading to the nearest city while chattering. There were nearly eight thousands people in their migrating group. They were all with various kinds of vehicles. Those who didn't own cars were fortunately able to get on the cars of other familiar people. They heard a lot of gunshots coming behind from the town not long after they left.
These people were the ones who chose to flee away from the town of right or wrong with Emma. They didn't bother to take a lot of things. They took their families and directly ran away from the town. Some of them had already prepared to leave. For them, the parting time just advanced.
At first, the ones who couldn't have been able to take away their properties had slight dissatisfaction. However, they were relieved and glad when they heard the gunshots. They realized that something had happened to the people who chose to remain in the town.
They were glad for themselves and also worried for the familiar people in the town. Nevertheless, they still read a few prayers for these people. After all, it was their choice and they chose to stay even though they all knew that the evil ranch was real and the situation was also serious.
The crowded convey moved forwards slowly on the dirt road. They all felt complicated when they thought that they might not be able to see the familiar people ever again in their life.
The fight still continued in the small town. From time to time, various gunshots still emerged and it was also telling the other survivors in the town that there were still people surviving and fighting against the unknown enemies.
Unfortunately, normal firearms could not damage the strange corpses. And nearly a mile away from the town in the direction of evil ranch, a crowd of strange corpses were marching towards the small town.
