It's a hell game, who can still be a human being?

"The helpers and the helped hate each other. How can such a situation continue?"

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"No matter what, Art still needs hunters to help kill wild animals. Moreover, as long as the position of the church is unshakable, the residents will not have the courage to do anything to the hunters."

Anko replied.

"Is it unshakable?"

He shook his head and continued banging on the door.

"Grandma, open the door. Don't worry, we just want some fuel, we won't rob you."

"Besides, it's not a good idea to leave these corpses in front of your house. If they attract more wild animals, your door won't be able to block them."

Liu Zheng said loudly.

"If you keep hitting me like this, the gate won't be able to be blocked now."

Anko looked at the crumbling door and complained in his heart.

But he didn't say anything to stop it.

Just as Liu Zheng said, it is indeed not good to leave these corpses alone.

Although he had never seen it, he had heard from others that these beasts could become stronger by devouring the flesh and blood of their own kind.

"I am Anke, the owner of Anke Tavern. This gentleman is our business partner in the tavern. He is a kind and benevolent gentleman."

"Please give us some fuel to dispose of the bodies. I guarantee by the reputation of Anko Tavern that there will be no problem. You see, my wife and daughter are with me."

An Ke stepped forward to help communicate.

"Tell your wife and daughter to come to the door."

The old woman said.

"no problem."

Anko motioned for Marianne to come to the door with her two daughters.

A cloudy eye glanced at them through the crack in the door, then disappeared again.

"Where are you going?"

the old woman asked.

"We are going to go to the church of the Church of the Agony."

Anko replied.

"Church of Pain. Are there still people who believe in the Lord of Pain?"

The old woman murmured.

"If He wills to protect us."

Anko said politely.

"Asylum? Haha."

The old woman laughed derisively and then said nothing more.

Just when Anke thought the communication had failed, a voice came from behind the door again.

"Put down three strips of jerky and stay away from my door."

"Okay. Thank you, ma'am."

Anko took three pieces of dried meat from the cart, placed them in front of the door, and then motioned for everyone to stay away.

Liu Zheng did not refuse the old woman's request.

He just deliberately used a rougher method to quickly open up the situation, and he didn't really want to anger these locals.

When everyone was away from the gate, it opened quietly.

An old but strong arm stretched out, quickly put down a black jar, quickly picked up the jerky, retracted it, and closed the door.

Liu Zheng walked over, picked up the jar, pulled out the stopper, and saw it was filled with a yellowish liquid. A faint stench penetrated his nostrils.

"Kerosene, I haven't seen it in a long time."

He had seen this when he was three or four years old. After that, when there was a power outage in the welfare home, they used candles.

Liu Zheng walked to the dog-man's body carrying a jar. An Ke was about to move another body over, but was stopped by him.

"Let me do it."

He put down the jar and moved the body of the beastman to the body of the dogman.

The hair and blood of these beasts seem to be strange, so it is better not to let Anko take risks.

After all, the tavern owner is quite suitable as a guide.

As for Liu Zheng himself, if this kind of stuff can pollute him, then the evil god who even blew up Mr. Li's corpse should voluntarily withdraw from the circle.

It's such a disgrace to the evil god.

Anko raised the can and poured the fuel inside onto the body.

Then he took out the matches from his pocket.

"Crack!"

The match head lit up an orange flame.

The fire quickly spread in Anko's eyes and turned into a raging fire that swept across the entire city.

Countless figures were wailing in the flames, including residents, wild beasts, and hunters.

"No!"

Anko flung the match away, sending sparks flying on the stone slab before it went out.

But soon, light appeared again in the darkness.

Liu Zheng swung the butcher knife, creating sparks on the ground and splashing onto the corpse.

Flames and black smoke rose quickly and never stopped.

255. Chapter 254 Liu Zheng How did you know I was a foreigner?

255.

The wheels rolled under the light of the blazing fire, and the group continued to move forward.

Anko pushed the cart silently, his body trembling slightly.

His wife, Marian, held one of his arms and supported him with her own strength.

"Uncle Anke, is that you?"

As we passed a house with iron bars on the windows, a little girl's voice was heard from inside.

"You are. Ah, you are Fulla."

Anko woke up from his memories.

"Yes. Uncle Anke, have you seen my father?"

the little girl asked.

"Father John? No, I didn't see him. He must have gone on patrol with the church hunters."

Anko replied.

"I don't know. Daddy wasn't feeling well today and was supposed to stay home. But after mom and I finished making dinner and came out, he disappeared. Mom also went out to look for him, so now I'm the only one left at home. Woo woo."

The little girl let out a soft sob.

"Don't worry, your father is an excellent hunter, he will bring your mother back safely."

An Ke didn't know what to say, so he could only comfort her gently.

Even though he knew that what he said was closer to a lie.

In this pale night, no one is safe.

Especially those hunters, getting close to them is sometimes more dangerous than getting close to wild beasts.

"Uncle Anke, can you help me find my parents? Tell them that Fulla is scared at home alone, and ask them to come back early."

The little girl begged.

"I'm sorry, Fulla, I still have to take my family to the Church of Pain. But if I meet your parents on the way, I will tell them."

Anko said apologetically.

"dad."

Nina opened her mouth to say something, but her mother covered her mouth.

The little girl was silent.

"Is there any food and water at home?"

Anko asked after scratching his head.

"Yes, Uncle Anko."

The little girl whispered back.

"Then just stay at home and wait for your parents to come back. But no matter who knocks on the door, you must confirm their identity and status, understand?"

Anko warned.

"Got it. Thank you, Uncle Anke."

The little girl said politely.

"Oh, don't thank me. There's nothing I can do."

Anko sighed.

If he were alone, he might choose to help.

But now their whole family has to rely on others for protection, what can he do?

"Then this foreign uncle, can you help me?"

The little girl spoke again.

"you said I?"

Liu Zheng raised a tentacle and pointed at himself.

"Yes."

"How do you know I'm a stranger?"

he asked curiously.

"."

Everyone was silent.

They looked at the white chef's hat on Liu Zheng's head, then at his yellow vest and bare feet.

No, brother, with your unconventional outfit, only a fool could tell that you are from another place, right?

"Never mind. Excuse me, I still have work to do. I'll come back to you when I'm done. If you're still alive, I can help you."

Liu Zheng said carelessly.

"Well, Mr. Liu Zheng, we Atlanteans are actually more tactful in our speech. Fula is still a child after all."

An Ke persuaded bravely.

This stranger has a very bad character to say such things to a child whose parents are missing.

If An Ke didn't feel that Liu Zheng was kind by nature, he would have doubted whether he had made a wrong decision.

"Only those with parents are children, and those without parents are adults when they are born."
