Chapter 871: Tyre! (16)

The mall has long been closed, and all the windows are covered with heavy guardrails.
An old man with gray hair stood on a dirty open-top car, begging for precious rations from the people around him, and lying next to him was a car's charred shell, and the front of the car was embedded in a narrow front In the alley.
On the street lights above, the only remaining spherical bulbs try to dispel the darkness of the night, but unfortunately, most bulbs have long been broken.
Since Ok appeared 100 kilometers away from the city, everything has been messed up.
A young couple Julia and Alex have witnessed three battles here, and one even attracted the attention of the patrol, but the perpetrators at the time, three young people and an old man, saw The patrol disappeared into the vast crowd.
"They won't let you see this."
Alex's tone was quite dissatisfied.
"When you travel with your father, they will pretend that none of them exist, but look at this, this is Tyre, this is the world we live in."
Julia is the pearl of the palm of a great noble, and her family is outstanding in the entire empire.
Alex is just a wizard apprentice with little success, and has no particularly prominent family background and background. It is just a country boy who has struggled to climb to this position with his own talent.
The status of the two can be described as different.
"I heard that they may all be rude rural people."
Julia said naively:
"It's not to blame them."
"is it?"
The young wizard shook his head.
"It is the villagers who have exhausted the energy of generations to build Tyre until the palace where your father is located can almost reach the sky, but the foundation of the empire is so decaying, sooner or later, their eyes will destroy all of us."
"But our world is still very young and still to be developed, we still have time, the Father will bless us."
Just then, what happened.
Something disturbed the crowd and made them walk slowly and crowded.
Suddenly, there was a sharp whistle in front.
Another battle?
Alex thought to himself and raised his alert.
Julia didn't seem to notice the change in the surrounding atmosphere at all. Maybe she did, but she didn't care.
She took Alex to move forward in the crowd to find the source of the chaos.
Alex warned her slightly, but he did not resist. He did not want to be treated as a coward by Julia. He warned himself to be as heroic as the heroes in the news.
Then, the crowd split in front of them, and a monster appeared in front of them.
The monster curled up at the entrance of a large tunnel. He had bright pink eyes, tight shoulders, dry skin like old parchment and a sickly dark cyan color. Twisted arms had tumory claws. .
"Ghoul! Why is this..."
Alex was taken aback. He had seen such monsters before, but he had only seen them in the teaching atlas.
This is a monster that is said to be inseparable from the extinct Church of Wendigo. It is rumored that the they believe in is a very powerful ghoul, which will transform them into this monster after the death of their believers.
But since the Wendigo Church retreated to the Howling Mountains, this monster has completely disappeared. The last record is more than a thousand years ago.
In general, this is not something that ordinary people can cope with.
Of course, he had also dreamed of personally dealing with such monsters. Of course, in those dreams he would have incomparably powerful power, and the monsters in his dreams are far from being so huge.
"Kill it! Kill this disgusting bug! It's just eating people!"
Some civilians with game psychology came up with a knife and a wooden stick.
These people surrounded the ghoul, mocking and spitting at him loudly, and the other party deterred them with a roar.
Alex felt the dagger in his sleeve, which was a magic gift given to him by his mentor. He knew he should rush in front of everyone, and then turned that monster into a meat sauce to be a real hero.
"I come!"
At this time, a civilian was leaning in front of the ghoul because he was too confident.
Then, in the blink of an eye, the monster shot.
The ghoul screamed and tore the other person's throat, and then bloodied.
"Well……"
After a few whines mixed with suffocation and coughing, the man swallowed, and his associates immediately dropped the weapons in their hands and fled.
"Run!"
This time, Alex's body reacted faster than his brain. Before he could think about it, he grabbed Julia's hand and ran out.
They didn't go far, and at this distance it was far from safe.
The crowd panicked, and everyone fled and fled.
Alex struggled to escape his life in the crowd, fearing the monster behind him that might follow him, imagining that the pair of claws would pierce his back at any time.
He wanted to yell, wanted to stop the pedestrians in front of him, and then said to them with horror, "Don't go over there! The monster is over there!".
But the only thing he can do is maintain balance.
If they fall, then they will be quickly trampled into meat sauce by the crowd~EbookFREE.me~ and worse.
"Spread! Spread!"
The new voice overwhelmed the screams of the crowd, and Alex recognized the sound of the rifle.
The patrol finally came to eliminate the threat.
Then he realized that the sound did not come from behind him, but from in front of him-and in at least two directions.
Alex's stomach twisted, and he realized what this might mean.
"There are more ghouls!"
The two looked at each other, and then reached a tacit agreement.
Then, the two rushed in a direction where no screams, gunshots, or prayers came, and one did not crash into more dangerous directions.
Alex knows that ghouls can pretend to be humans, carefully guarding everyone who is near them and watching them, and looking for any changes in their bodies as much as possible.
At this time, a young woman fell on him, and he almost drew his arms out of fright.
But then he realized that it was not an attack, and the woman was hit by a turbulent crowd.
"Yes, sorry!"
The woman grabbed Alex's gray coat and tried her best to keep her balance.
But before Julia had time to catch up and help each other, the woman fell to the ground and disappeared into the crowd.
Some people are shouting commands, and the harsh male voice is distorted by the loudspeaker.
Instinctively, Alex and Julia changed their direction and rushed to where the sound source was.
Soon, they met the people who had just made a noise. These people were wearing grey uniforms and guided the crowd to evacuate in one direction.
Seeing the presence of these people, Alex was relieved, and he recognized them-these people were local militia units.
