Chapter 480 spooky city
Zhang Jue passed through Ukraine.
There is a part of the area that Kenneth and Strong are responsible for.
With them as cover, his action was much faster. It only took a day or so to reach the western border of Ukraine, and the straight-line distance to the Swiss headquarters had been shortened by nearly half.
In order to prevent the two captains from being exposed prematurely, Zhang Jue temporarily changed his route halfway through.
Although it increases the risk of being discovered, even if he is discovered, the enemy will not think of the two captains so quickly.
After all, he himself is not afraid of death, but these two are ordinary people.
According to the nearby defense map given to him by Captain Kenneth, he easily crossed the border of Ukraine and came to the junction of Hungary and Slovakia.
According to the two captains, the whole of Europe is currently under the rule of ethics committees.
With Switzerland as the center, the closer to the headquarters, the stronger the defense.
The perimeter is just ordinary troops and mobile task forces.
And further in, there are all kinds of bulls, ghosts and snakes, abnormal creatures, and even those who have already surrendered dare not approach.
Because once these things are ruthless, they are indistinguishable between us and the enemy.
This kind of defense method is simple and rude, and the advantage is that it can maximize Zhang Jue’s strength.
Even if he was able to reach the headquarters of the Authority in the end, it would be the end of the shot.
There are two winding mountain roads, one leads to Hungary and the other leads to Slovakia.
Zhang Jue finally decided to pass through Slovakia through the most scientific method – throwing shoes.
He whistled and walked all the way.
The more I walked, the more I felt something was wrong.
A chill rises from the back.
This means that he seems to have made a wrong choice.
This road is by no means as safe as one might imagine.
He passed by a small town, which was empty and very clean.
No dead people were seen, and no living people were seen.
Zhang Jue suddenly realized what was wrong.
It wasn’t bombed, but it was dead silent.
It’s okay if people go to evacuation, but the sounds of all animals are gone.
Zhang Jue frowned.
All the way to the central church in the town.
The scene in front of him shocked him.
In front of this small church stood countless wooden crosses, and on each cross, a person, or a corpse, was nailed.
The whole body of these people has rotted, and countless maggots have drilled in and out of them, tearing at their flesh and gnawing at their souls.
Zhang Jue frowned and approached.
He saw that everyone’s body was covered with countless steel nails to ensure that their bodies would not fall off the cross because of decay.
Judging from the blood sprayed under the cross and the expressions of those corpses, the steel nails should have been nailed into their bodies before they were alive.
For ethics committees to clear the population, it is important to be efficient.
Whether it’s a missile or a nuclear bomb, it’s an instant thing.
But these people were tortured to death.
This way of dying is not much different from Ling Chi in ancient times in country C.
How big of a hatred is there to let the other party use this method to torture and kill?
Let these innocent people not even rest in peace.
Zhang Jue even saw many children and old people.
Helping ethics committees deal with humans is, so to speak, different.
But this kind of abuse of the same family is simply unforgivable.
Zhang Jue narrowed his eyes, and his whole body exuded an icy aura.
He must find out who did this.
He took out gasoline from the alien space, poured it on the square, and burned the corpses and the cross together.
After doing this, he searched around again and found no other clues.
Intuition tells him that this matter is definitely not easy.
The planning of the town is very clear, there is only one main road from east to west.
The long road stretched to the horizon, and the shadow of tall buildings seemed to be visible at the end of the line of sight. There should be a big city there.
It was already evening, and Zhang Jue continued to move forward without resting.
Today he must find out the truth.
Along the way, Zhang Jue passed two more villages.
And the villagers of these two villages were no exception, and they were all nailed to the cross.
He died after being tortured.
Zhang Jue’s anger value gradually increased.
He walked all the way, and when he came to the vicinity of the city, it was completely dark.
However, a scene that surprised him happened, and the whole city was brightly lit.
You can faintly hear the noisy voice of people.
what’s the situation?
Zhang Jue was a little stunned for a while.
All the way from Asia to Europe.
Almost all major cities were targeted by the Authority.
Even in cities that were not bombed, people all fled, leaving only an empty city.
Survivors are not absent, but like this the whole city is still the same, but only this one.
Disasters have occurred all over the world, but here, it seems to be the same as before.
The streets were crowded.
In the darkness, he looked at the people coming and going, and was a little lost for a while.
What’s happening here?
The whole world is in chaos, and this place is not affected?
Zhang Jue patted his face lightly, making sure that this was not a dream.
Did he meet the Slovakian version of Peach Blossom?
Unlikely.
Although Zhang Jue didn’t know where he was now, from the scale of the city, it was definitely the one on the map.
It must be one of the largest cities in a country like Slovakia.
If it is a village that has not been discovered, it will be fine. Such a large city has not been attacked. It can only be said that the administration did it intentionally, or there are other hidden reasons.
Zhang Jue did not enter the city rashly, but walked along the edge of the city through the darkness.
He carefully observed the people here and found that they were a little weird.
Zhang Jue couldn’t understand what they said, probably in the local language of Slovakia.
But there is another point, the proportions of their hands and feet seem to be different from normal people, and they don’t seem to be coordinated.
Besides, their faces were all terrifyingly white and bloodless.
It’s like zombies from a 90’s horror movie.
If they don’t use walking, but jumping, Zhang Jue must go and ask Uncle Jiu to borrow some talisman papers.
He was lurking in the dark, and the more he looked at it, the more strange it became. He only thought that these people were very strange except for their appearance and similar to human beings.
Zhang Jue has never been to Slovakia. Are people here so weird?
He was about to kidnap a random person to take a look, when suddenly everyone on the street stopped, their eyes all looking at the center of the city.
As if a force was calling them.
But Zhang Jue didn’t feel anything unusual.
He saw someone’s ears move.
Then it dawned on me.
These people should be able to hear infrasound waves that humans cannot.
After the end of the infrasound wave, everyone’s faces showed a fanatical look, and they all gathered in the center of the city.
Zhang Jue was among the crowd and fell far behind.
Crowds gathered from all directions on the large square in the center of the city.
The square was originally dark, and when the crowd came, the giant lights above came on.
Everyone cheered loudly.
When he saw the scene on the square, Zhang Jue suddenly took a deep breath.
As in those villages, the square was filled with countless crosses.
A person is nailed to each cross.
At the very center of the square, there is a giant cross, as high as a dozen floors.
The skeleton of this cross turned out to be made of human bones.
How many skeletons are there?
Unlike Zhang Jue, the people around were all excited when they saw this scene.
His eyes were full of enthusiasm.
At this moment, Zhang Jue finally realized that although everyone looks the same, these people are definitely not the same as themselves.
They regard the killing of human beings as a kind of joy and enjoyment.
On earth, there is only one species that has such a deep hatred with humans and looks very similar, and that is the number 1000 – the child of the night.
Nightborne is also a relatively well-known project, and their history will not be repeated.
After the blooming day, only a small tribe escaped the pursuit of humans.
And they never gave up retaking control of the Earth.
The Authority has also been wary of them.
The painter once teamed up with their leaders to deal with Zhang Jue, but was caught by Zhang Jue and finally committed suicide in the administration.
Since then, they have disappeared.
Later, Du Jingtian discovered their traces in the Himalayas.
But at that time the end was coming, and the Authority had no time to take care of it.
Zhang Jue never thought that these close relatives of humans would appear here.
But then he was relieved.
The headquarters of the Authority, under the control of the Ethics Committee, has already launched a massacre of humanity.
And this race, which was originally hostile to humans, would naturally come in handy.
It can be said that, at least at this stage, they are the best tool people.
Europe fell so quickly, they must have a share of the credit.
Zhang Jue’s face became extremely gloomy.
According to the law of the dark forest, competition between races was originally just instinct, and there was no right or wrong.
Whether it’s humans killing them, or they expel humans, it’s a natural choice.
But this kind of torture really touched his bottom line.
It is conceivable that as long as it is a city that is captured by them, the human beings there should be executed by them in this cruel way.
Zhang Jue thought about it, and the surrounding crowd began to shout excitedly.
He looked up.
I saw a man with the appearance of a leader, with a little girl, and walked up to the high platform of the square.
The little girl looked only about seven or eight years old, her face was normal, she should be a human being.
Facing these “people” she didn’t know, she shivered.
And she had shackles on her hands and feet, and she couldn’t move at all.
The leader said something that Zhang Jue couldn’t understand.
The whole place started to boil.
An ominous premonition lingered in Zhang Jue’s heart.
However, things were developing too fast, and before he had time to make any moves, he saw that the leader took out a dagger from his waist and slashed the little girl’s eyeballs with one knife.
Blood spurted out of her eyes.
The little girl screeched loudly.
And this scream was exchanged for the perverted laughter of all the Nightborne around him.
…
“I am the eighth generation of your ancestors!!!”
Zhang Jue was so angry that he couldn’t bear it any longer. He shouted and jumped up.
Stepping on the heads of those onlookers, he flew towards the high platform.
The leader looked at Zhang Jue and did not show a surprised expression, but smiled slightly.
He took out a remote control from his waist and pressed a switch.
The high platform actually split from the center to the left and right, revealing a two-meter-square hole, and below it was a two-meter-square shaft.
Zhang Jue descended from the sky, only ten meters away from him, killing him was only a matter of minutes.
But the leader did not panic, but smiled, and then threw the little girl who was still breathing in.
I don’t know how deep the shaft is. The little girl has no protection measures, she will definitely die if she falls.
Although killing the leader was only a matter of moments, Zhang Jue almost instinctively chose to fall in with the little girl.
When they entered, the gate above the shaft was closed again.
The shaft is very deep, about tens of meters.
Zhang Jue grabbed the little girl, held it in his arms, and landed smoothly with a thud.
“Are you OK?”
Zhang Jue ignited a flame in mid-air and looked down at the little girl in his arms.
The little girl’s breath was already very weak.
Zhang Jue took a closer look and found that there was a very small pinhole behind her ear, and the surrounding skin had turned black.
It must be the leader who did something before throwing her down.
The little girl’s mouth opened and closed, Zhang Jue put her ear close to her, and heard her cry, “Mam—”
Then he lost his breath.
At this moment.
Zhang Jue’s face was extremely gloomy.
He summoned his long black sword, and he was sorry for himself if he didn’t kill anything.
At this moment, a voice sounded from above his head.
“Hello, Consultant Zhang.”
Zhang Jue looked up and found a loudspeaker inlaid on the wall of the shaft.
“Who are you?” Zhang Jue asked coldly.
“It doesn’t matter who I am, the important thing is that you are going to die.” The voice paused, “It will be my brother’s death anniversary in a few days, so it can be regarded as a gift from me.”
When the other party said so, Zhang Jue got the information at once~www.readmtl.com~ The only intersection between him and the Child of the Night was to capture their former leader.
Thinking of those who were tortured to death, Zhang Jue slowly closed his eyes.
“I think it’s better for you to go and reunite with him.”
“That doesn’t sound like something a prisoner would say.”
The other party’s laughter came from the loudspeaker, “Consultant Zhang, the shaft you are in was specially built for you by me. You escape from it first, and then talk about killing me, hahaha—”
The other party cut the link.
A mechanical sound came from the opening above.
Immediately afterwards, red liquid poured down from somewhere.
There are sparks all around.
The temperature of the entire shaft rises in an instant.
Zhang Jue immediately recognized what the red liquid was – molten steel.
