Among the corpses scattered on the ground, two corpses attracted Sablin's attention. They were two adults, probably a man and a woman, kneeling on the ground and hugging each other, with a child in their arms.
"Damn it, who did it all?"
Sabourin walked over and took a closer look, and found that there were obvious bullet holes in the chest and abdomen of the corpse, and there were obvious lacerations on the neck of the child they were protecting.
"A logging gun, and it's military grade."
Talos picked up a bullet case among the corpses, and there was a thin line of code on it, which meant that it was a standard bullet, not something from a small private workshop.
Kassati came to a conclusion after observing around.
"Someone gathered them together, and then machine guns hidden in all directions opened fire at the same time, massacring them all here."
Talos said thoughtfully:
"So, they have to trust those people and be defenseless."
Suddenly, a night owl-like laughter sounded, and everyone was immediately alert, and then led by Talos, they walked towards the place where the sound came from.
In a dark corner, they saw a thin figure kneeling on the ground. He was only covered with a rag that could hardly be called clothing. There was only a little hair on his speckled head, and he was still lying on the ground.
A body that is almost the same withered body, but judging from the outline of the body and the long dry hair that spreads out, it can be roughly judged that it is a woman.
The man kneeling on the ground was holding a meat-cutting knife, and the bloody sharp knife slashed at the neck of the fallen man again and again.
The murderer let out manic laughter as he went into a frenzy of dismemberment, and as the knife slashed again and again, the cut flesh ribbons flew in all directions.
The violent actions continued, and the severed head was thrown aside by the murderer, who then split the ribs, dug out the bloody and bloody things that were once human with his fingers, and then put them into his mouth.
As the murderer cut into the body further, the steel hissed as it rubbed against the floor.
A warning sound reached his ears, but the cannibal addicted to his cruel work could no longer detect it.
Suddenly, a huge force dragged him up from behind. The murderer's attempt to stand up turned into crawling headfirst. The knife rolled out of his hand, causing him to make a crazy babbling sound.
"There is no significant variation."
Talos pinched the cannibal's head and looked around for a while. At this time, the man was frightened by the sudden appearance of the steel giant. He could even see the yellow liquid flowing down his waist to his chest and then flowing through it.
his face.
"Tell me what happened?"
Faced with Talos's questioning, he just bumbled and cried. Finally, Talos became impatient and threw him against the wall, ending his life.
Sablin looked at the woman's severed head. She looked very old, with a pair of cloudy eyes on her dirty face staring desperately. Then he turned to the body and found that the body was holding something in its hands. He squatted down.
I picked it up and found a photo that seemed to have been burned by fire. I could vaguely see a woman in a worker's uniform holding a boy and a girl in her left and right arms, with a vague smile.
For a moment, some violent emotions rushed through Sablin's heart like a mad bull, making him almost unable to help but roar. But in the end, he took a deep breath, managed to calm down, and put the photo back on the body.
in the hand.
Cassati, who was standing behind him, suddenly sighed and said to himself:
"So why would he rather wander alone in the land of madness than return to this completely rotten empire."
"Um?"
Talos suddenly hummed, and then moved silently like a breeze in the dark night. In the blink of an eye, there was a small, screaming thing in his hand.
"Wow wow wow! Don't eat me! Don't eat me!!"
Everyone walked over and saw a little boy of about eight or nine years old, wrapped in a dirty cloak. Surrounded by more black giants, the child became even more frightened. He didn't even dare to say anything and could only howl.
cry.
"do not Cry."
Talos's deep voice sounded, and then he lit up the lights on his helmet, and others followed suit.
"Did you hear me."
The boy stopped crying immediately, but it was not that he obeyed the other party's words, but that he was stunned.
At this time, he was surrounded by more than a dozen giants in silver-gray armor. The light made the Angel of Death emblems on the chests of those giants shine particularly brightly, and the sight behind the dark eyepieces seemed to pierce his soul.
"sky"
After a long time, he trembled and uttered a few words.
"Angel. Real angel"
A child could recognize an Astartes, and Talos immediately judged that the child was at least not of a bad origin, so he changed his hands and let the child sit on his palm. He looked more like a puppet controlling a small puppet.
division.
"You know us? What's your name."
"My name is Russell Donovan. The book my father bought me has angels on it."
"Where are your parents? Why are you walking alone in such a dangerous place?"
Talos then glanced at the boy's left hand and saw that the thumb was missing.
"And what happened to your hands."
"Father and Mother"
The boy immediately started sobbing when he mentioned his parents. In fact, he couldn't say much at his age, and Talos could only extract a few points from his broken words.
His parents were both teachers, but suddenly a riot broke out one day. His parents took him and his sister and tried to escape to Zhongchao. On the way, their car was intercepted by armed men like guards and robbed.
Taking away all their property and food, he and his sister were separated from their parents in the chaos, and eventually had to survive in the hive that was completely plunged into darkness and chaos. Not long ago, his sister was also killed by a group of people while looking for food.
He was captured by a gang called the Skinners. These people are currently the craziest thugs in the area. They not only eat people, but also sell human meat products. Those captured by them are called "vegetarians".
In addition, the boy also mentioned that before everything happened, his father and his mother often lamented that food was getting more expensive and harder to buy.
"My finger was bitten off when my sister and I were fighting a bad wild dog. We were really hungry at the time, and my sister said we can't eat people. If we eat people, we will become monsters."
At this time, the boy tremblingly took out a wad of paper from his arms.
"Can an angel save my sister? Oh, I have saved this for a long time. My parents have to bring a lot every time they go to church. I only have this little."
The boy cried while opening the paper. Inside was a dark brown solid that seemed to have been tightly compacted. It looked like part of a ration bar, but was only the size of an adult's thumb and was constantly moistened by his low tears.
Talos took off his helmet, stretched out his hand to pick up the lump, put it into his mouth, chewed it slowly, and looked at the boy with his dark eyes.
