The red moon returns

Chapter 91 Chasing Troops

Behind him was a thin homeless man, covered from head to toe in a piece of dirty, tattered cloth. He smelled like he had just been dug out of the garbage that had been there for several weeks.

Her face could not be seen clearly from the rag package. She could only see that she was holding a quilt roll in one hand and a one-pound note in the other hand. The note was crumpled and one corner was exposed from between her fingers.

I don’t know if he heard Lynch’s reminder, but the homeless man turned around and ran away without looking back.

Tramps in tattered clothes are not uncommon in Rhine City, but the smell of this man was a bit beyond the tolerance of gentlemen and ladies, and he attracted a burst of curses from the surrounding people. Seeing him approaching, the people around him subconsciously moved to the side, making way for him while also blocking the gaps in other directions.

It should be her, Maya.

Finally met her.

Lin Qi felt excited. He quickly looked around and found that the few people who were watching him were constantly pushing away the pedestrians around him and chasing after the homeless man.

Something's not good, I'm about to be caught up.

Lin Qi rolled his eyes and saw that a middle-aged woman was being pushed down by the target. A man screamed from above the person: "Ah, why are you beating someone? Look, someone is beating someone in public."

Someone immediately surrounded him. Although there was only a moment or two to block him, a loophole was opened in the circle. The homeless man was as slippery as a sea snake and quickly got into the crowd.

No, I have to follow up and take a look.

Worried about an ambush, Lin Qi hugged little Martha tightly and prepared to follow. However, before he could take a step, he felt the little guy's hand tightly grasping his shoulders, and she leaned close to his ear.

"No."

Um? Lynch stopped before he started.

"That's not the reporter sister, someone I don't know."

Lynch immediately realized that the man was holding banknotes in his hand. He was probably an ordinary homeless man who had been temporarily hired as bait.

But now that she has used bait to deceive all the people she is following, the next step...

He immediately looked around, and sure enough, another thin figure dressed as a homeless man was hiding in the corner of a building, waving to him and Martha.

This must be real, not some other homeless person.

After poking Martha to tell her to tell her the difference, Lynch looked at the homeless people at the train station entrance.

Um? It seems that because of the commotion, these people also escaped and are now gone.

Lin Qi frowned and didn't think much. Seeing little Martha nodding excitedly, he looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to him, and then walked quickly towards the corner of the building.

It is said to be a corner, but it is actually the gap between the two buildings of the station. It is only half a meter wide, dark and cramped, and there are a lot of debris scattered on the ground, making it dirty and messy.

Lin Qi walked along the street with the girl in his arms, strode to the corner, walked straight across the gap, walked a few steps, and turned back suddenly.

The square was still in chaos. The people following them were chasing the escaped bait. Some unknown people in blue uniforms were maintaining order in the square, but no one was following them.

it should be no problem? Lynch had learned this level of anti-stalking skills from movies and TV shows. Although he was still a little uneasy, he still held onto his cane and got into the crack.

There was a person standing in the shadow of the gap. He was petite and dressed in dirty and shabby clothes. He covered his eyes with a peaked cap and wrapped himself tightly with a scarf. His whole body also exuded the smell of garbage, which did not cover up the rotten smell. few.

Seeing someone coming in, the figure immediately shrank towards the darkness, and then a female voice came: "Martha?"

"Journalist sister? How did you become like this?" Little Martha looked puzzled.

"Who is he?"

"It's Uncle Lynch, he..."       "Let's go first. We can talk in detail after we leave here. There is an ambush."

Lin Qi interrupted the two women's reminiscence. He leaned against the gap and listened, then stuck his head out to take a look. The people following him outside had gone away, and the square was calm again. But for some reason, Lin Qi always had a feeling. The feeling of being spied on.

"This way, go across and there is the railroad track. Follow me."

The female reporter tugged her peaked cap to cover her face and walked towards the depths of the gap. Seeing Lynch hugging Martha and following closely, she whispered:

"Who are you?"

"The people who want to help you have been chasing you for several days... Your problem is serious and must be solved as soon as possible."

While explaining the experience of the past few days in the simplest language, Lynch followed the female reporter through the dark gap. When he lowered his head on the way, he saw little Martha huddled in her arms, her big blue eyes staring at him flickeringly. , his face was full of surprise and admiration. Lin Qi pinched her little face, leaned against the exit of the gap, and peered out with the female reporter:

"I came here today just to contact you and make an appointment to meet and talk in detail. Believe me, I really want to help you, but I can't do it now. I have to send little Martha back first. You should know how weird this is. It is fatal to an ordinary person. Martha, shut up, think about your mother, leave the rest to me, and I promise to try my best to help your journalist sister."

The female reporter was obviously hesitant, but finally looked at little Martha and nodded: "Follow me, and I'll tell you where to find me."

Outside is the other side of the station. There are four long platforms with several loaded trucks parked on them. The workers are sweating and shoveling coal into the carriages. There are also seven or eight long rails extending from the platforms. Stretching into the distance.

There were many workers coming and going outside. The female reporter waved to Lynch, quietly avoided the workers' sight and slipped through the connection between the carriages. Then she followed a rusty rail into the depths of the station. In a decaying open space, several scrapped carriages covered with grass lay in a mess.

Car Cemetery, a place where discarded carriages are piled up in train stations.

"There are homeless people staying here at night, but there are very few people during the day. I have been living here for the past two days since I left the cabin. It should be safe."

The female reporter looked back again. Behind her was the railway track with a relatively wide view. She had an unobstructed view of the environment. After confirming that no one was following her, she breathed a sigh of relief and got into one of the carriages first.

The long carriage feels much more luxurious than the one in the previous life. There are booths surrounded by long sofas. Some of the booths still have traces of life.

"I don't know why you want to help me, just like I don't know what happened to me, but I know you must have a purpose, and I can probably guess something. Listen, I accidentally peeked into the Lower House. Grant conspired with a group of monsters, and also mentioned a strange name called More...Okay, I won't mention it for now. In short, I guess you came to me for this matter. Yes, I do know the details, but a few I can’t finish the sentence. If you want detailed information, you must come back after sending her away to help me get through the difficult situation.”

"Why don't you call the police? With your profession, you should know that besides the Rangers there are Watchmen. Don't you trust them?"

The female reporter didn't answer, but just pointed at Martha. Regardless of Martha's protest, Lynch consciously covered little Martha's eyes. The female reporter then lifted her hat and pulled down her scarf a little.

His appearance was invisible, his eyes were cloudy and dark red, the skin on his face had become like rubber, and the corners of his mouth were cracked to the base of his ears, revealing sharp shark-like teeth inside, which made people shudder just by looking at him.

Fortunately, he had seen the photo before, so Lin Qi was not mentally shocked, but he still felt cold and sighed softly.

The female reporter fumbled and pulled up her scarf, led the two of them through the long carriage, and jumped out of the car at the other end. The three of them walked around among the messy abandoned carriages, and soon got under the outer wall of the train station. After climbing over the outer wall, you left the scope of the train station, and opposite was the normal main street of the Cross District.

"After sending her away, she must come back and help me." The female reporter's voice suddenly became choked, "I don't want to stay like this. Even if I die, I want to change back and die again."

"I'll be back, I promise."

"Um……"

However, before he finished speaking, there was suddenly a heartbreaking sound of metal friction coming from behind. The sound was a bit far away, as if it was in the hiding place of the female reporter who had just left.

The three people immediately hid behind the nearest abandoned carriage and peeped carefully. They saw four sharp claws suddenly protruding from the top of the metal carriage. The claws were like hot knives cutting through butter, easily cracking the metal shell. It circled around the outer shell and tore the carriage in half left and right.

Behind the carriage was a humanoid monster nearly three meters tall. It was almost the same as the one in the previous photos. The monster had torn tattered clothes hanging on it, and there were a few homeless people following behind it. They were the same ones who disappeared at the station entrance. Some people's bodies have begun to swell, and their hands have grown sharp claws.

These monsters surrounded the empty carriage and roared angrily.

Heck, it turns out the ghouls are catching up with him.
