Game of Death: Game Imbalance and Calamity Incarnate
Many rats had trampling wounds all over their bodies, but they didn't care at all. The tails of the rats colluded together, and the pressure and danger were even greater than when they were scattered. After finally getting a rest, the three of them naturally raised their
Torch sat on the spot to regain his energy. Arthur even kicked the body of Kalman, who had 'saved' their lives, from falling from the sky to the broken wall to prevent the rats from advancing further.
"Tell me, old knight, you said before that these rats' tails hooked together are bad luck. Is there any reason for this?" Arthur narrowed his eyes slightly. He was already too thirsty, and the rat tide was less than five meters away.
Frantically devouring Kalman's corpse made him feel even more hungry. At this moment, only knowledge could barely distract him.
Sapalo handed the torch to Jess and sat upright: "Do you know about the plague era a hundred years ago?"
"Is it a large-scale plague caused by a virus spread by bats? I have seen some records in history books. I heard that more than two million people died in Brighton alone in the Heath Basin that year. They had fever, coughing up blood, and blood.
Ligao toxins are all symptoms of plague. And it was a sudden plague. If the gods had not worked together to create a safe zone for all races and isolate the pathogens, the plague would have killed 70% of the living creatures in the four continents at that time.
"
"God? Do you think the old gods voluntarily saved people? I will talk to you about those things when I get out. It's all hypocrisy about gods loving the world. Then let's talk about the Rat King. There were rumors in our Cavaliers back then.
A week before this plague that almost wiped out the world, there was a phenomenon in Brighton City where many rats hooked up their tails to form a rat king. The knight at that time thought it was interesting and drew it with charcoal, and then the plague broke out. This is a
A sign of disaster. And, boys, don't you think it's getting a little cold in here?"
Jess opened Sapalo's mouth and checked Sapalo's physical condition back and forth. As a surgeon, Jess only had a rough understanding of infectious diseases. He opened Sapalo's mouth, and the stench caused by the yellow teeth filled his mouth.
Jess pushed him away: "It looks like symptoms of a cold. These mice carry viruses in their bodies. Even if we are bled and disinfected after being bitten, they cannot be completely eradicated. I am weak now, and there is no specific medicine that can treat plague.
I think the only hope for both of us is for Arthur to restore his elemental powers and heal us."
Arthur nodded and lay on the ground to recover his elemental power: "If I can get my ring, I can heal you quickly, but now Mozkov's games are a little different, and I don't know what he promised to us.
The rewards are still not counted.”
"Don't think about it, Arthur, getting out of here alive is more important than anything else. Those mice are starting to get restless again, so prepare for us to go up from here." Jess pointed to the big hole where the scarecrow just fell, and he could vaguely see the top.
There was also a bit of firelight. Sapalo stood up and pretended to inspect every corner carefully: "Well, go up from here, which is a great suggestion, but how to go up?"
Jace didn't pay attention to Sapolo's sarcasm. Ever since Sapolo chatted with Arthur, the old knight seemed to have changed. "Arthur, is your elemental power enough to support you in taking off?"
"Are you crazy? How can a person fly? Did you see that little Arthur has white feathers?" Sapalo snorted coldly. He didn't like Jace's attitude very much. From this blond middle-aged man, he felt that
He felt the aura of the old god, which made Saparo feel unhappy. After looking at Arthur, he found that Arthur always looked back at him with a smile and calmness. Is it true?
"It's almost there. One time should be enough. Mr. Sapalo, hold my hand. Jace, hold on tighter."
After Sapalo approached with suspicion, Arthur stood between the three of them with his hands downwards like claws, and the electricity in the air began to stir restlessly. Sapalo also wanted to ask some related matters, but the sudden strong recoil made him
Almost letting go of Arthur's hand, after a scream, Sapalo was held by Jace's other hand to prevent him from falling. The torch that Sapalo was holding loosely fell to the ground.
Under the influence of witchcraft, the three of them soared up to a height of twenty meters. The small room under their feet slowly became the size of a sesame seed. Sapalo was constantly screaming at high decibels, and he did not look like a seventy-year-old man at all.
After Arthur used his back to withstand the impact and fell to the first floor, both Jess and Saparo fell to the ground with weak feet and could not lie down for a long time.
Arthur quickly held their hands. Jess had just mentioned that their symptoms after being bitten by mice had not disappeared, and all the pretense of calmness was just to hold on. Judging from the temperature of their hands, Sapalo and
Jess's condition was not very good. Jess was still relatively young, so he could barely open his eyes, while Sapalo completely lost consciousness after the heavy fall.
This is a bunker at an unknown location. Only two of the six prisons collapsed due to the movement of the ground. Hearing the rustling sound in the darkness, Arthur patted the dazed Jace: "Jess, Jace
Si! Can you still move? "
"Oh...it's a bit difficult, can you help me?" Jace stretched out his hand weakly and asked Arthur to bear half of his weight on his shoulders. At the same time, Arthur carried Saparo on his back, so that although he could not move freely,
He did not abandon any of his friends. Arthur carried the two of them on his shoulders with great difficulty and walked towards the place where there was fire: "Let's go quickly, or the mice will come again."
...
After an unknown amount of time, Arthur finally found the warehouse where he had broken the wall before.
After the panting Arthur settled Saparo and Jace, he turned back and locked the warehouse door with a latch. The only torch with a lot of coal left was hung on the wall. This death game left Mozkov.
After that, it became a game of survival. If there was only a mouse, Arthur wouldn't have too much worry. Vanno's body was the incident that lingered in Arthur's mind. Jace had fallen into a coma at some point, and the only thing he could think about was
The only one left is Arthur himself.
This warehouse with a small amount of weapons reserves is the safest place Arthur can find at present. Before the situation of Sapalo and Jace deteriorates further, Arthur decides to follow Nighthawk's inference to find where the corpse pile is.
Check the cracks in the wall to see if Wozkama is near the corpse pile and what secrets there are.
"You two wait for me, I will definitely come back." Arthur made a promise to the unconscious two people. He rubbed his already hungry stomach. There was no concept of time in the darkness, and Arthur didn't know that he was caught.
How long has it been, judging from the stubble he has grown, maybe four days, maybe five days. Now Arthur misses the raw meat placed next to the sand arena. Roasting it over the fire is another delicacy.
Arthur left the torch here and found two long swords in the piled wooden boxes. Arthur, who had never used a long sword before, tried swinging it twice. After confirming that it was correct, Arthur began to think about how to move in the bunker prison.
Inside, he found the crevice in the wall where Nighthawk and Sapalo mentioned the pile of corpses. After opening the door, Arthur first heard rats crouching everywhere in the darkness, and then... what was the sound? Arthur turned to his left
Looking around, I saw the sound of running and the shaking of the fire. Who is this?
The light filled Arthur, and Arthur subconsciously covered it with his hands, but the person who came rushed straight towards him, and the momentum continued unabated, and there was the sound of waving sharp weapons.
Those who come are not good.
Arthur turned the long sword with both hands at the same time to form two sword circles around him to block the opponent's attack. The figure in front of him gradually became clearer, with tattered clothes and sunken eyes, and a skeleton-like body holding a scimitar. This was the figure that had killed many people.
Sheldo, a common woman, hadn't seen anyone else for a long time, and Arthur felt a little uncontrollable joy in his heart. But the battle was cruel, and Sheldo's condition was not quite right, with red spots all over his body and red eyes, and he looked special.
tired.
There is a chance! Arthur used the characteristics of thunder and lightning to the extreme. When Sheldon's scimitar was about to hit his long sword, Arthur stopped in time and let the scimitar hit the air. Sheldon was unable to withdraw his strength and rushed straight to the ground. Ya
Arthur took the opportunity to pin Sheldon to the ground with the tip of his sword, hit Sheldon in the face hard with his big foot, and kicked Sheldo who was already at his limit into unconsciousness. Before he could even breathe, Arthur saw Sheldon on his side.
The short torch on the arm fell to the ground and gradually went out, and then...
The squeaking sound came again. At the last moment when the fire disappeared, Arthur saw another pile of gray rats with their tails intertwined behind him. Was Sheldon's running wildly an attempt to escape? I just said that I hate rats.
