Chapter 109 The Adjudicator
Chapter 109 The Adjudicator
Luo walked to the fountain, the power of the undead gathered in the palm of his hand.He pulled out the base of the fountain, and the huge stone base immediately floated in mid-air with a bluish color, and a water pipe as thick as an arm was connected to it.
"This is more convenient." Under the dumbfounded gaze of the crowd, the undead said, "Otherwise it will be too slow, and if you spend one more minute here, you will be more dangerous."
The others didn't dare to say anything, and hurriedly climbed down the hole.I rolled the steel skin into a hollow steel rod in my hand, and said, "No matter what you see or smell, don't scream, boys."
Although I reminded you in advance, there was really no sound this time.I think it's amazing that after everyone falls to the end, they find out the problem.
All the corpses disappeared.
"What's the matter, Lemon?" Luo put the fountain base back together on the ground, and got in along the gap.Others began to whisper, I stared blankly at the clean ground, and could only touch some dried blood scabs.
"The corpses are gone, Luo." I said, "The mountain of corpses we saw before is gone. When was the last time you came in?"
Luo frowned and said, "Three days ago, I could still feel the smell of decaying corpses."
But now, no matter whether it is the stench or the corpse, there is nothing left.I wondered in my heart, even if the church specially sent someone to clean up the corpse, it would not have been done so quickly in just three days.
Unless they called a few carnivorous beasts to come out and chew up the corpses, maybe they could have this cleaning efficiency.
"Sir!" At this moment, someone called out, "What shall we do next?"
"This is the end of the matter." I whispered to Luo, "Let's take a step and see. Anyway, I have seen it through. The future is like this. There will always be unexpected things happening."
Luo nodded.He condensed the power of the undead into an ethereal chain of light, one end of which was hidden in his cloak, and the other end was wrapped around my wrist.
"Follow me, don't fall behind." Luo's voice was calm and gentle, which largely calmed the flustered crowd. "If we move fast enough, within a quarter of an hour, we can escape from here."
It is indeed a bit difficult to accommodate nearly 100 people in the narrow passage. At most, seven or eight people can be packed in each cross section, and the long queue quickly becomes crowded and chaotic.Everyone wanted to rush forward as much as possible, and many people in the front row were screaming and shouting at the back. A thrilling escape almost turned into a lively battle of hundreds of people.
"Damn it, you stepped on my foot!"
"What are you squeezing, get to the back!"
Seeing that everyone was arguing about their positions, I stood still, swung the steel rod, and said angrily, "It's so noisy! Shut up the fuck! The old man and the woman stand in front of me, hurry up!"
These people were obviously stunned by my rude tone, and seeing the blood stains on my steel rod, they were honest for a while.The old man and the woman rushed to the front of the line, and a rogue-like guy shouted from behind: "Letting them in the front will slow down the progress!"
Through the human wall, I waved the steel rod in front of the rascal, and said, "I'll take you out, and I can do whatever I want."
The man barked fiercely: "Let those guys stand in front, I think you want to kill us all!"
The crowd automatically avoided me, so I rushed over and swung the steel rod at the rascal's head without saying a word!I beat that stupid pig so loudly that I grabbed his front and said in a vicious voice, "I'll tell you what 'slow' is. It's because there are more yelling good-for-nothings like you in the team! I don't want to. Listen to me, you are welcome to get out at any time, but don't disturb other people's itinerary!"
The people around were silent when they saw this, so I pointed to the crowd with a sullen face: "You, you, you, and you... Just now you guys were pushing and shoving in the crowd, making a mess, Don't think I didn't see it. Since you're not an old man or a woman, stand at the back for me!"
Those people pretended not to know at first, until I picked them out one by one, and then stood behind the line cursing.
When we set off again, the largest group in the middle just followed our footsteps, and the last few rascals were either shouting that it was too dark, or threatening that the road ahead was uncertain.Several times I wanted to tear off the barking mouths of those people, but Luo signaled me to calm down. It took time and seconds to escape, so I swallowed my anger.
"I feel like I've just walked this distance!"
A fool at the back yelled, "Look at that familiar notch on the wall! That kid is leading us around—"
His voice suddenly disappeared, and Luo and I turned our heads at the same time, and saw that the shadow at the end of the line was as quiet as before, and there was nothing unusual about it.I was too lazy to think of something, so I urged Luo: "Go on!"
"what--!"
At this moment, another scream sounded at the end of the line, accompanied by other screams.Luo's complexion changed, and he rushed towards the end of the team.The chain between us suddenly stretched into a shining thin line.
"save--"
The sharp cry lasted only a few seconds. In the thick darkness, I suddenly saw a crawling tentacle wrapping around a certain man's mouth and nose with lightning speed, and dragging him into the hand. In the shadow of five fingers!
"Ahhh!"
The screams of people exploded in the narrow tunnel.I had a splitting headache and was about to run up to check the situation, but I heard Luo yell loudly: "Lymon, don't come over!"
But for a moment of heartbeat, the dark blue flame of the undead illuminated the darkness.I saw wriggling tentacles crawling all around the secret passage, like the mouthparts of an octopus.They swayed towards us, stretched out suddenly, like a snake's head out of a cave, and rushed towards us!
"Back off!"
In the blink of an eye, Luo erected a thick wall of light, blocking all the tentacles for us.The blood-red fleshy vines crackled on the light wall into sticky bloody water. When the light faded, I saw a familiar figure slowly walking out of the cave.
It's the damn four eyes, and that ugly big sarcoma.
"You guys are quite courageous, experimental subjects in the squirrel cage." He said calmly with four eyes, his back was slightly hunched, and his face showed a sickly paleness.Observing from a side angle, I found that there was something like an umbilical cord attached to the back of his heart, which was connected to a large sarcoma somewhere.
I just ran to Luo's side, but he blocked me.
"Lymon." Luo said to me, "You take the others away."
"No." I said, "I will deal with the four eyes with you."
"I am an undead, and my strength is much stronger than that of humans." Luo stood in front of me, and for the first time there was an unquestionable meaning in his tone, "Let me come this time. Don't forget that our first task is to escape, Not confrontation. We can't risk nearly a hundred lives lost."
I stared at him, sweat dripping from my clenched fists.Others still trembled in fear behind me, but my undead faced me, behind us was the enemy who made us miserable in the past.
"Lymon." Luo pointed those two dark eye holes at me, and the flames lingered all over his body, "Protecting you will always be my first duty."
"Okay." I took a few steps back and gritted my teeth, "Quick battle. Be sure to meet me outside the church!"
"I will." He leaned closer to my ear and said, "Let me tell you, the way to find the exit of the maze smoothly..."
"Follow the wind."

The undead faced alone the Chaos Stone with its tentacles growing wildly, and the manipulator behind it, Douglas Hayden.
The owner and the people in the mouse cage have left this road and turned to the secret passage on the other side.Luo condensed the light wall into a light shield, and the remaining light spots condensed a scythe swaying in flames in his other hand.
"Did those people escape?" Douglas said deadpan. "It's going to be over sooner or later anyway."
"They will escape smoothly, Bishop Hayden." Luo put the scythe in front of the man, "I will stop you."
Douglas remained expressionless, like a hollow puppet.The four eyes on the Chaos Stone turned to face the undead, narrowed slightly, and the waving tentacles were glued together, twisted into two blood-colored drill bits that were several times thicker than before.
"Remember the name I gave you, undead? I call you 'Messiah', and I allow you to ascend to the holy pulpit and preach to everyone." Douglas said, "Only holy believers can have this power ...I know that you in the past were very sad to follow Lemon Bone Spur, who forced you to kill, forced you to do evil, and even destroyed your brain."
Luo said nothing, clutching the scythe tightly in his hand.Douglas said slowly, "He's brain-damaged you, I can tell right away...it's a miracle your body isn't just a crumpled rag."
"I know everything about the past." Luo said calmly, "I also remember what my master did. I don't want to care about the past grievances. I only know that now we will look forward and love each other. "
"Love? The villain who was blinded by hatred?" Douglas' tone was cold, his eyes still fixed. "His nature is hard to change, and a momentary hesitation is not a guarantee of his conscience. I can foresee that once your master regains his strength, He will revert to his old ways, shouting and shouting like before."
Luo Leng said coldly: "You arrange others like this, why not talk about yourself, Bishop Hayden? You told me that I only have 30 days to live, and you took my blood under the pretext of saving people, but you don't know what you are doing... "
The Chaos Stone suddenly bounced a few times on the ground, opened its bloody mouth and rushed towards the undead!Luo was about to swing the sickle, but the sarcoma screamed, and Douglas grabbed the connecting belt on his back abruptly, braked abruptly in mid-air, and landed with a thud.
"You should only have a lifespan of more than 30 days." Douglas said, "Because I have been drawing your undead power, but unfortunately you will not cooperate when it reaches about 30.00%, otherwise you will die after the power dissipates. "
The tone of the undead was tinged with sullenness: "You are really the most shameless person I have ever seen."
Douglas showed a strange expression on his face: "You are wrong, Undead. We conduct medical research, including the study of undead, but it is entirely for the well-being of more people. Human beings are too fragile, so fragile The germs can knock them down. In the past few years, because of the research on the 'rat cage', our agents have saved thousands of lives and effectively eliminated five or six epidemics..."
"The price paid is the health and lives of a small number of people. Compared with the death of thousands of people, this is already very good." Douglas said, "Do you still think we are doing things that are harmful to the world, Undead ?”
"Of course. No matter what rhetoric you use to whitewash it, it can't cover up the fact that you did evil." Luo said, "What's even more frightening is that you have no remorse, and even think that you are a savior-like existence."
Douglas narrowed his eyes and said, "As I said, I sacrificed the happiness of a small number of people for..."
"You are not worthy to say such words, Bishop Hayden." The undead slowly raised his scythe that was filled with cold light, and said, "What qualifications do you have to talk about 'sacrifice'. You know how heavy the responsibility these two words contain, and What a deep regret? It doesn’t mean that sacrificing the minority for the welfare of the majority must be wrong. It’s just that you are not qualified to be the arbiter of the welfare of the minority!”
"A person who can really bear this burden will not take it for granted and lightly say what you just said!"
"It seems that I was wasting my words." Douglas frowned in disgust, and patted the Chaos Stone beside him, which was ready to go.
"It's time to give this undead some color."

Impatient, I led a group of people behind me to run wildly in the secret passage.The tragedy just now made them all aware of the critical situation. Some old men and women who were physically exhausted were carried by men who still had physical strength.
On the brink of life and death, for the first time these patients come together and give a little love to each other.
"gentlemen!"
Just as we passed the third fork, someone called me out of breath from behind: "Stop, sir, we—we've already passed here!"
I turned my head and said angrily, "What did you say?!"
"It is true, sir!"
Seeing my grim expression, the man didn't have the energy to be afraid, so he raised a bitten finger and said to me: "Look, this is the mark I made earlier—this is the path we have traveled."
I leaned over to take a look, and found that there were bloodstains left by this guy on the stone wall by the roadside.
Others whisper behind their backs.
"No wonder I wonder why I haven't come out after running for so long. It turns out that this is a maze."
"Didn't that handsome young man say he could run out in a quarter of an hour?"
"I think this road is [-]% wrong..."
I stared at the bloodstain, pulled the strands of hair hanging from my forehead, and frowned as I recalled the journey I had just taken.If I'm not mistaken, this underground labyrinth is the same one that Luo, Chichikov and I walked through earlier.
At the beginning, we also encountered similar problems.Chichikov said his eyes sensed movement, but Lo said there was no way.
And when I took the hallucinogen, my vision turned upside down, and I climbed out smoothly.At that time, I didn't think about "wind".
I closed my eyes, pulled my thoughts away from the noise around me, and tried to solve the doubts that bothered me in this underground labyrinth.
wind……
Why is Luo so obsessed with "wind"?
"Chichikov... LSD... Luo... Feng..."
I muttered to myself, suddenly, a light flashed in my mind, and a thought flooded into my heart.
Why is Luo Hui so obsessed with "wind", and why Chichikov and I have repeatedly hit the wall——
Because Luo is a blind man who cannot see, in this maze, he can only sense the outside world by the sound of the wind.On the other hand, Chichikov and I, one relying on the sense of the eyes, the other using the naked eye to find the way, have been trapped by the maze again and again.
This maze is not a place where you can escape with your "eyes"—or rather, your normal "vision"!
I suddenly stood up from the ground, closed my eyes, and groped forward on the stone wall.Seeing my appearance, the others were stunned for a moment, leaned closer to me, and boldly asked: "Sir, have you found the problem yet?"
"Well, I found it." I closed my eyes and said, "Hold your breath as much as possible, and don't make too much noise."
"To feel the traces of the 'wind'. It is our only signpost and guide."
