Alien world

Chapter 250 103. No Good News

A flock of birds rose from the forest and flew north as if avoiding disaster.

The migratory team fleeing the disaster spreads on the hills, like an ant colony scattered on the low hills.

"Infected people will enter the incubation period, lose their minds over time, attack people around them and spread the plague, becoming a hateful existence like a wild ghoul."

The New Initial sailing on the sea was far away from the source of the plague. François was glad that they did not dock or let them aboard out of caution. Who knows if the contact would cause the plague to spread on the ship.

Annan looked back from the distant coastline: "Do you think it has something to do with the Ratman?"

"Plagues don't come out of nowhere," François said.

Annan thought for a while and said, "Can you go any further?"

"The plague cannot touch us."

"Then keep sailing."

The portal closed, and a sigh sounded on the deck where only the sound of waves returned: "I want to go home, the fish here are too smart..."

"It's still too late for Annan to open another portal to go back."

"After completing the task assigned by our lord, we should go to the shore and ask them." Fast pouted towards the shore.

"Don't you need a head for fishing? Where do we go if we are infected with the plague?"

"So someone has to go ashore alone." Fast rolled up his dirty sleeves.

"Wait a little longer...we only saw migrants, not soldiers."

The New Initial, which continued to sail, left waves that gradually dissipated on the sea. The further they went, the heavier the mood of the crew.

The flowers and plants are withering, the forest is withering, and the mist covers the earth, turning the noon into a doomsday-like dim yellow.

The strange thing is that they saw countless fleeing humans and alien races, but there was no trace of the Ratmen—that clan never showed up.

Many villages are abandoned, but some towns are building walls and taking in refugees against the ratmen.The New Initial docked offshore and asked the locals for some news.

On the gloomy afternoon of the fifth day of the voyage, the crew on the lookout screamed and saw the Ratman.

Francois dexterously climbed up to the watchtower and saw a group of ratmen chasing a group of mercenaries. The warriors defended the front line. The rangers and mages dealt with the ratmen and retreated while fighting. The standard way to deal with the ratmen, but they were in the wilderness. , there were more than a group of Ratmen around, and they were soon overwhelmed by the tide of Ratmen.

It didn't take long for them to find the sailboat on the sea, but they could only rush to the beach and let the New Initial gradually go away.

There were more and more ratmen like a natural disaster. As the evening approached, the crew saw a scene similar to "The Fall of the Mage's Tower": the tide of rats was like waves, constantly washing away a castle standing on a cliff.

Lightning-like magical brilliance sprinkled from the sky and the city walls from time to time, like a shovel lifting up the soil, overturning pieces of ratmen, and being filled by the surrounding ratmen.

Insignificant sailing ships on the sea broke into battle.

These are just ordinary rat swarms, they are only consuming the power of the castle.As night fell, they saw a giant headless rat floating on the surface in the distance, propelled by the creeping rat tide.It stands tall on the ground, and thick dark yellow mist gushes out from its bloody neck.

Fast dropped his fishing rod and murmured in disbelief: "The illager...they really came!"

……

Annan squinted his eyes slightly, watching the white dragon hovering in the blue sky swooping down and smashing into the sea.

He was thinking about the fourth apocalypse forecast in August NO.16 a month later... What will happen then?Attack of the McCann Ratmen?But they have no reason to be so fast.Confirm that the McCann Ratman is going north?A few days ago, the new initial number confirmed this point.

At the end of the activity time, Annan sent the white dragons back to the crypt.It took more than a month for the white dragons to learn to stay away from humans, and soon, they should be able to try to keep them.

The white dragon soaring over the bay...that is really a beautiful scenery.

Annan returned to the town from the beach and went to Michael's place first - because the alchemy room heard explosions all day long, and Michael was complained by other mages... So Annan set up an alchemy room for him in the factory area.Michael wanted to choose the clock tower, but was rejected-it was left by Annan for the wizard teacher.

Then, as usual, Annan returned to the Lord's Mansion, began to sign his name on government affairs, and listened to Ingrid's report: "Gumma wants to buy a boat from us."

"As long as the price is right."

Gema has been doing very well these days...she didn't make any more troubles, she developed her Glacier Port steadily, and still bought things from Xingyue Bay.There are three ships moored at the port, and it is not impossible to sell one to Gema.

In the evening, Annan came to Aunt Susan's house for dinner.He sat obediently on his seat, accepting the gentle tucking of the tablecloth by Aunt Susan's big rough hands, and Aunt Susan grabbed another tablecloth and threw it in Martin's face, and the family dinner began.

"Little Annan, is your birthday coming?"

Annan didn't pay attention to this point, thought for a while and said, "Aunt Susan, when did you pick me up?"

Then he went back three days from the day Aunt Susan picked him up, back to June NO.19...that was when he came into this world.

"It happens to be tomorrow."

"Then we have to hurry up and prepare a birthday present." Aunt Susan said expectantly.

After a warm dinner at Aunt Susan's house, Annan returned to the deserted lord's mansion, and contacted the new initial number according to the agreed time.

Francois and Fast appear across from the portal.

"One piece of good news, one piece of bad news." Fast straight to the point with a solemn expression: "We found the Calamity Ratman in the rat tide..."

"The Calamity Rat Man?"

"The vanguard of the plague, the sacred artifact of the McCann clan... Don't you know that the Scavenger Headquarters said this?"

"I am the same as Olmedo. I am keen to join many organizations but rarely understand them." Annan made excuses for himself.

"Olmedo added so many organizations, but he remembered every organization and knowledge."

"...we should talk about the Ratmen."

"The appearance of the Calamity Ratman, the holy weapon of the McCann clan, shows that this clan is indeed invading the northern border on a large scale."

"They ruled the South?" Annan asked puzzled.

"No."

"Then why the sudden invasion of the North?"

"Maybe it's coming for you?" Fast said. "I have an idea. Do you have a map with you?"

Annan took the nautical chart and the map to the desk.

"Spread them out, or point anywhere, or where you're looking at something that bothers you, announce you're there, and see if the McCann Ratmen turn around."

Only know the small country of Khamis VI, but they have no enmity.

Giving up on Fast's bad idea, Annan suddenly remembered something: "Did you just tell me the good news?"

"That's right." Fast nodded, "I caught a fish the size of a Leviathan!"
