Chapter 612 The Red River Reappears
What is the population of Xiacheng District?I guess no one knows about this.
This place is like a trash can that never refuses, full of criminals and thugs, as well as some strangers of unknown origin, and more unidentifiable guys.
Now the demon's outbreak is like thunder, uncovering the stubborn rock full of poisonous insects, and everyone is exposed to fear.
The soldiers guarded the main road and blocked the entire area. Then the heavily armed rioters arrived on the battlefield. They set up heavy giant guns and fired harpoon-like projectiles, nailing the monsters one after another. On the road.
Blood and corpses were everywhere, and there were screams and moans everywhere.
Some soldiers were slightly shaken by this ferocious terror, while others looked at the red-dyed river water and remembered that day many years ago.
On a certain day in the past, the Thames was dyed red as it is today, and those people called it the Red River Massacre.
But now, as if it was fate, or words full of metaphysics such as fate and reincarnation, what many people never thought was that the main culprit of the Red River Massacre appeared here again and continued to create the bright red river water.
The purification agency controlled the spread of the disaster, and as the demon hunters and the Anonymous joined the battlefield, they began to counterattack the battle.
All this happened too quickly. No one expected that the strongest combat power of the purification mechanism would be at this breaking point. The blazing white fireworks rolled in, evaporating the cold water and turning it into thick mist, but soon Quickly, they were all spread out by the cold sword blade and fell apart.
"Proceed carefully, the enemy is nearby!"
Lorenzo gave orders to others and could erode so many people in an instant and detonate a wave of demons. Apart from the two people who had sublimated, Lorenzo could not think of anyone else.
Kestrel and Eve responded with gunfire. Fortunately, there was enough firepower in the underground outpost to allow them to control the area.
As a natural ranger, as her work experience increased, Eve began to show her potential. She stood steadily on a high place, set up her spear, and accurately shot any monster that dared to be exposed to sight, even if She doesn't panic when a demon approaches, and even ignores it.
Only when the demon is close enough will she suddenly let go of the handle of the gun, pull out the folding knife from her waist, slash it viciously along the fragile throat, kill with one blow, and then kick the twitching body off the high ground.
Lorenzo watched all this from a distance, and he began to understand why Arthur began to cultivate Eve vigorously. Everyone grew over time, and no one stayed in the same place.
The sound of gunfire continued, and the place turned into a position, shooting at the monsters that appeared in every corner.
Due to the chaos and distortion of the Lower City, no one knows how many tunnels there are in the shadows, and where these tunnels lead to. There are more and more demons, erosion is spreading like a rapid virus, corpses are everywhere, and gunpowder smoke is everywhere. .
Even the most ferocious sinners can't help but tremble in fear in front of this hellish scene. A few minutes ago, this place was just a desolate slum, but now it has been burned into a scarlet place like a slaughterhouse.
They held simple firearms to protect themselves. They thought they were safe enough, but invisible erosion still penetrated through the layers of walls, destroying their minds, until someone collapsed and put the muzzle of the gun into their mouth.
Pull the trigger.
The gunfire splashed with minced meat and scarlet, like a starting gun, starting a crazy prelude.
But soon, the blazing white sun slowly rose in the frightened pupils.
It was clearly going to be winter, but for a moment it seemed like it was midsummer. The scorching firelight evaporated the water mixed with blood, and the muddy ground began to dry up and be covered with cracks.
Lorenzo was walking on the earth holding a staff sword with a red-hot tip. He could easily cut open the demon's flesh with a casual blow.
The scorching residual heat spreads along the broken wound, causing the flesh and blood on the body to become blackened and carbonized, and then collapsed like dust.
Lorenzo is like a god of death, any monsters that step into the range of its scorching sun will be annihilated in an instant, but with such a powerful force, Lorenzo did not attack rashly, he moved forward cautiously, beware of hiding in the Enemies in the dark.
He was so high-profile that he burned the demons exposed in the streets.
On the other side of him, more gunshots rang out. Shao Liangye opened fire while running. The antimemetic bullet accurately hit the demon's body. Each bullet seemed to carry a vicious curse. The first time it hit the demon, Time begins to take effect.
Some demons lost their ability to move first, while others lost their vision. They roared blindly, but soon more live bullets hit them, turning their bodies into bloody pieces.
Shao Liangye attracted the attention of the demons, while Sao Liangxi stood not far from him, replenishing Shao Liangye's gun.
This not-so-serious girl also showed her professionalism when she met the demon. Her marksmanship was very accurate and she had a tacit understanding with Shao Liangye. Shao Liangye had just shot the antimemetic bullet into the demon's body. The live ammunition fired will follow closely and completely destroy the enemy.
This is a tacit understanding between the two over the years of fighting together. Even in Jiuxia, where antimemetic technology is advanced, antimemetic ammunition is a relatively important resource. Therefore, in order to save ammunition to a certain extent, Anonymous people usually They will all carry antimemetic bullets and live ammunition. After suppressing the demon with antimemetics, the live ammunition will be used to terminate it.
The two of them cooperate in this way.
"Shao Liangye, don't run too far!"
Saoliangxi shouted to Shao Liangye who was walking on the battlefield.
The messy terrain of Xiacheng District is very suitable for Shao Liangye. He quickly shuttles through it and deals heavy blows to the demons, but this is not very friendly to Sa Liangxi. She prefers a broad view than such complex terrain.
Shao Liangye ignored Sa Liang Xi. He rushed into the building, which was not within the support range of Sa Liang Xi. He quickly pulled out his folding knife, suppressed the antimeme, and stepped forward to slash.
He has changed his equipment in the past few days. The Everlasting Pump lags behind Jiuxia in research on antimemes, but they are very powerful in industrial smelting, not to mention after digging the Holy Silver Mine.
The equipment used by Xi Liangye and others was the first batch of weapons produced by the Pump of Perpetual Motion, which mixed holy silver and iron, which not only satisfied the suppression of demons, but also enhanced its own hardness.
He was still not used to using the folding knife, but Shao Liangye liked the sharp feeling.
"He went too deep!"
Kestrel looked at Shao Liangye's disappearing back and shouted anxiously.
Judging from Kestrel's combat experience, his actions like this are undoubtedly leading to death. After all, not everyone is a demon hunter.
"It's okay, just get used to it."
Sa Liangxi didn't seem worried. After she couldn't find Shao Liangye, she turned her gun elsewhere and supported the others.
Although it was unclear who these powerful guys were, the surviving guys nearby obviously regarded the casino that had become a camp as their last hope, and they fled here one after another.
Blue Jade didn't stop these guys, but just divided the casino and ordered soldiers to guard the outpost, so that these people only existed on the surface.
It's not that Lan Jade is kind-hearted, they need to control the scope of the disaster as much as possible. These people will be the most eye-catching targets, attracting a steady stream of demons here and falling into the meat grinder of the purification agency.
Having said that, Lan Jade and others are also one of the baits, but they are not afraid.
"Demon Hunter, Anonymous... I can't think of any place in the lower city that is safer than this." Lan Jade explained this way.
Eve put away the grapple gun and used this equipment to reach the top of the ruined castle. This is the highest point of the battlefield, where she can easily see all the nearby situations.
Monsters appear endlessly, and the chaotic and disorderly Lower City is a perfect breeding ground for erosion.
Eve remembered her encounter with Lorenzo. During the battle in the underground palace, if the purification mechanism had not arrived in time, maybe that night would have turned into such madness.
As he was thinking, a roaring gunshot rang out, and he saw a flash of fire at the end of the street, and then projectiles like metal spears were shot out, easily penetrating the building, nailing the demon to pieces.
The tall figures of the rioters appeared at the end of the horizon. These silent and sturdy armor formed a steel wall, approaching from all directions, blocking the streets while still advancing slowly.
The sunlight hit the body, outlining a ferocious silhouette, and the purge mechanism's counterattack was faster and more powerful than everyone expected.
It was only a matter of time before the Lower City was brought back under control, but no one knew how many demons had escaped underground. The complex dark maze was far more dangerous than the surface.
Shao Liangye shuttled between the damaged buildings, and he hunted down these monsters who fell into the bunker. He fully demonstrated the power of anonymous people. Antimemetic weapons, demons are just crazier beasts to him.
In the narrow passage, Shao Liangye raised his firearm and accurately hit the demon's head. At the same time, the folding knife stabbed out fiercely, piercing the demon's heart, splattering a large amount of blood.
He paused, catching his breath.
Shao Liangye is a very dedicated guy. As an anonymous person, he doesn't remember much, and his so-called hobbies are even less. Apart from work, there seems to be nothing left in his mind.
During this breath, more screams sounded, and when he raised his head, the demon fell from the sky.
The Anonymous have the protection of antimemes, but they are still mortals, and they have paid a high price for this protection.
Even though Shao Liangye has experienced hundreds of battles, there are times when he is tired. Now he is full of flaws and can only barely lift the folding knife and try to resist the attack. It was also at this time that a loud roaring sound rang in Shao Liangye's ears.
The wall on one side collapsed instantly, and among the rubble and smoke, a shiny staff sword appeared in front of Shao Liangye, piercing the fallen demon and nailing it to the side.
"Be careful, Anonymous."
The scorching heat has long dissipated, and Lorenzo is now wearing iron armor, using his steel body to rush between buildings.
"I'm starting to envy demon hunters." Xie Liangye was stunned and said.
"Don't be envious, this is not a good thing."
Lorenzo drew out his staff and sword, and dense iron armor covered his face, hiding his face.
"You can't lure him out using this method."
Lorenzo warned Shao Liangye, and he understood Shao Liangye's behavior.
His reckless behavior actually revealed a flaw to the enemy. Shao Liangye had been waiting for the enemy to attack.
"It should be Roger Cruz who comes back this time. Only he can be so messy and drive everyone crazy." The contact lasted only a short time, but Lorenzo thought he had figured out what Roger and Edlen were doing. Style, "If it were Adren, the one fighting us now would be an angel."
"Angel?" Shao Liangye was puzzled.
Lorenzo didn't bother to explain, he said, "Watcher... you will see him later."
"Besides, if you really lure Roger out, you will be killed without any chance to fight back."
Lorenzo is very aware of Roger's power. As a being who has almost reached the end of his ascension, Roger has a vague connection with the Unspeakable, and this connection is about to become "the road."
"You don't know Anonymous enough, Holmes, don't underestimate Anonymous."
Shao Liangye showed a meaningful smile, as if he still had some trump cards and was still able to fight against Roger.
Before Lorenzo could ask any more questions, a salvo of gunfire interrupted the conversation.
The rioters were already approaching here, and their solid original sin armor was pouring firepower on the demons. Under the high vigilance of the purification agency, the demons' disaster could not spread, and they were strangled to death at the source.
In the darkness, the homeless man stared at these heavy machines. In his memory, the old humans also had such weapons, and they were far more powerful than today's.
"It's so pitiful that such a glorious place has now become so dilapidated. Instead of struggling, why not just obey?"
Roger muttered.
He didn't know if it was intuition or something else, but he always felt that the power of the purification mechanism was more than that, and there were more things hidden in the shadows.
But this time the feint seemed to be enough.
"The sword bearer."
Roger's eyes fell on Lorenzo who walked out of the ruins. Under Watson's deliberate actions, the information that Lorenzo possessed [Final Echo] was exposed.
His fingers twitched slightly. As long as Roger killed Lorenzo here and snatched [Final Echo], the only person who could threaten him at this moment was Adren.
Want to get started?
With his own power, it is enough to destroy all of this, and Lorenzo has no power to resist, but...
but……
"Where are you? Adren Levien, are you obediently guarding outside the Well of Ascension, or... are you here too?"
After hesitating, Roger smiled and closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he appeared behind the heavy metal, his sultry breath echoing in the narrow visor.
The rioters turned their guns and pointed them at Lorenzo. The moment they pulled the trigger, the horrific erosion detonated again.
