In the gloomy space, a bloody head fell quietly to the ground, with an expression of fear on his face.
Hearing the sound of a head falling in the distance and watching Athir's actions, Bonnie turned around and a look of hesitation flashed across her face, but in the end she did not move.
"These people are beyond help."
In the distance, as if understanding her thoughts, Athir's expression was as calm and natural as ever, except that the black sword in his right hand was stained with blood, giving it a hint of bloody smell.
As he spoke, he completely eliminated several people in the dark cell, each sword was a direct beheading, leaving no pain at all.
Most of these people are disabled, either missing a leg or an arm. Because they have been tortured for too long, their mental state is basically abnormal. In addition, they have been in this environment full of negative energy for a long time, and their flesh and blood have been corroded. Even if they are rescued, they will not be able to live for long.
When life reaches this point, instead of continuing to live in agony, it is better to give them a direct death without pain.
"Ahem…"
When I walked to the last dark cell, I heard a light cough in front of me, followed by a hoarse and vicissitudes voice: "Let me go, I still want to live."
He was a middle-aged man with an old face. He was also tied up with ropes, but his body was relatively intact without any missing limbs. He was just a little thin.
After casually glancing at the middle-aged man in front of him, Athir walked over quickly, and swung the long sword in his right hand directly down, bringing with it a fierce sword wind, and accurately cut the middle-aged man.
In an instant, the ropes tied around the middle-aged man broke.
As the original restraints disappeared, his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
"Thanks."
The man stood up with difficulty, and smiled bitterly: "Nice to meet you. I'm Brand, one of the original residents of this town."
His words caught Athir's attention, and he asked with interest, "Are you also a resident of this town?"
"certainly···"
The middle-aged man named Brand kept a wry smile on his face: "But it was only before, it's not like that anymore."
"I can see that." Looking at his appearance, Atier raised his eyebrows and nodded.
Athir did not feel that unique and strange aura from the other person. He was just a weak ordinary person, nothing special.
Judging from the fact that he was imprisoned in this place, the monsters in this town obviously did not consider him as one of their own.
"Do you know what's going on here?"
He glanced at Brand, and the strong pressure contained in his eyes made the other party's heart jump. He couldn't help but say: "I roughly know a little bit, these are all caused by weirdness..."
Under Athir's gaze, his face was bitter: "I don't know the specific situation, I just know that a particularly terrifying weird appeared and affected the residents of the town, turning good people into monsters."
"Then how are you okay?"
Athir looked at the man in surprise and asked back with confusion.
"Maybe... it's because I didn't eat the meat."
Standing there, as if thinking of some horrific scene, Brand swallowed his saliva, looked at Athir and explained: "Back then, something strange suddenly broke out, and the people in the whole town got a strange disease, and they died one after another as if it was contagious."
"Later... someone discovered that if you eat the flesh of those who died of the disease, you won't get the strange disease, so the survivors in the town followed suit, and that's how the rest of the people survived..."
At this point, Brand's eyes flashed with fear. "But over time, the survivors in the town began to mutate. Not only did their eyes turn green, but they also became mentally unclear at night, and frantically gnawed on the corpses around them... Finally, after eating all the corpses in the town, they even started to attack other people in the town who had not mutated, as well as wanderers in the wild..."
"At first, they were able to maintain some sanity. Although they would eat corpses and even living people, they would not easily attack people from the same town... But later, the situation became more and more serious. When no outsiders were found, all the survivors in the town were eaten alive. In the end, I was the only one left."
He spoke hesitantly, and his whole body couldn't help shaking as he spoke, as if he thought of some horrific scene that made him feel frightened.
Seeing his appearance, Atier had no interest in staying here any longer, so he turned around and continued walking forward.
"Don't go there!"
Seeing Athir's footsteps, Brand's face changed drastically, his pupils shrank suddenly, as if he had thought of something, and he quickly reminded: "Those monsters are just ahead!"
"Monster, are you talking about us?"
Just as the words fell, two hoarse figures suddenly walked out from the front, with a hideous and distorted face and a pair of pale green eyes, full of endless malice.
These were the two men from before. They had turned back for some unknown reason and happened to hear Brand's words. A hideous smile appeared on their distorted faces, and their pair of malicious green eyes made them look even more terrifying.
"It's over..."
Seeing these two people, Brand's legs went weak and he sat down on the ground with despair on his face, as if he had understood his future fate.
Bang!!!
It was like an iron rod hitting a watermelon. In just a moment, a person flew backwards quickly, his head shattered, and the flesh and blood on it scattered all over the ground, like a stream of water spurting everywhere.
Standing next to this man, another man's entire head was covered with splattered flesh and blood. His originally hideous and distorted face was dyed red by his companion's blood, as if it was coated with a layer of realistic fuel.
Because the speed was too fast, he didn't have time to understand what was happening. He just looked towards Athir instinctively. His pair of pale green eyes recorded the last scene, and then he lost all consciousness.
A black sword came slashing down quickly with a sharp sword wind, and a little silver light appeared out of nowhere in the dim space. There was a faint magic power attached to it, making the sword's lethality even stronger. The sword directly rushed into the man's head and split it in half.
"Unknown energy detected, the subject's physical fitness begins to improve..." The mechanical prompt of the chip in the mind sounded again.
Bang! Bang!
Following two deep sounds, two tall bodies also fell to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust and making dull collision sounds that echoed in the surrounding space.
After hearing the voice, Brand and Bonnie, who were watching nearby, finally reacted. They looked at Athir with some disbelief, almost thinking they were hallucinating.
Facing their gazes, Athir had no mood to stay here. He simply stepped on the corpse and walked forward, bringing up a gust of breeze.
Behind him, looking at Athir's figure, Brand hesitated for a moment, and then followed Athir's footsteps and walked forward.
This small town has become a monster's lair, and all the people still active outside have mutated. If he goes out directly and encounters a few of them, no one will save him. It is better for him to follow Athir.
On the side, looking at the two figures around her, Bonnie wrapped her robe around herself, completely covering her body, and then followed Athir's back without hesitation.
At the front, Athir walked quietly on the wide road, staring at the light in the distance, his eyes becoming sharper.
During the chip detection, the radiation in front was slowly increasing, with an inexplicable force field rising up, which became more and more intense at this time.
"Why haven't Fuxi and the others come back yet?"
When they reached the end of the road, a voice came quickly from the front and was heard by Athir.
At the end of the road, Blue was wearing a gray robe, and his expression had changed drastically. His originally kind and gentle face became distorted and hideous, and his eyes turned a pale green. He looked no different from the mutants that Athir had dealt with before.
At this time, he was standing in front of an altar, talking loudly to several people in front of him.
"who?"
Suddenly, he turned around, as if he had noticed something, and looked directly in the direction of Athir, with malicious intent in his eyes: "Come out!!"
In the corner where he was looking, Athir's gaze was looking at the two people behind him.
With his strength, it was impossible for him to be discovered by a character like Blue. What really attracted the other party's attention were the two people following behind him.
However, he had no extra plans. Sooner or later, he would have to face the other party head-on. Now that the other party had discovered his traces, he didn't say anything. He moved his feet and prepared to walk out.
But the person who walked out faster than him was a figure beside him.
In the aisle, Bonnie's face was pale, and she was wearing Athir's black robe. She walked straight past Athir and walked out of the aisle, exposed in front of everyone.
At this moment, pairs of pale green eyes were looking at her with deep malice and appetite, staring at her thin figure, and it seemed that they were ready to make a move.
"Oh, it's my lovely Bonnie."
Standing on the platform, Blue forced a kind expression on his face, which looked awkward on his hideous and distorted face. "What are you doing here?"
His tone was low, with a hint of coldness and chill, like a bloody snake that could suddenly spring up at any time, staring at you quietly.
When he asked this, Bonnie's face turned pale: "I... just want to see... if there is anything I can help with."
"I see."
Looking at Bonnie standing opposite him, the awkward expression on Blue's face did not change at all: "That's right, I do have a small favor that I need your help with."
Bonnie breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then she heard Blue's voice again.
"Give me your heart and flesh!!"
In an instant, Blue's face became extremely ferocious, with a terrifying aura. He rushed to Bonnie and grabbed her neck with one hand.
