Ember Gun

  Chapter 655 Tiger's Eye

  In Eve's life which is not short-lived, she feels that her life is fairly smooth sailing. As the daughter of the duke, she has what she wants, and no matter what she desires, she will be satisfied.

Such a life is enviable, just like a beautiful fairy tale in a story book, but at a certain moment in the past, this story was like a different author. The beautiful fairy tale was covered by the stench of blood, and it was impossible to give it to you. The direction the child looks at, runs all the way.

  Eve still clearly remembers that day, the day when her life turned 180 degrees.

  Prosperity and magnificence are no longer, replaced by blood and corpses, monsters called demons walked out of the dusty shadows and laughed greedily at the world.

  It’s terrible...

  Eve was muttering in her heart. At this moment, she was hiding in the damp corridor, raising her head slightly, following the gap in the window edge, observing the rain and fog outside.

Ten minutes ago, Eve also received the message of the beginning of the war. She was planning to go to Sangliangxi and Luode, but after receiving the news, Eve immediately changed the target and moved to the nearest stronghold. Participate in the action.

  It was learned in the communication that the guard nearby was one of the knight commanders Gao Wen, and after establishing the defense line, they began to evacuate the citizens outside the defense line, and tried to save more citizens before the disaster broke out.

  Eve also participated in the **** on the way to the stronghold, but unexpectedly, the tide of monsters came faster than they thought.

  Everything happened too suddenly.

  Slow down her breathing, and Eve tries not to let herself make unnecessary noises.

  The encounter ended in a tragic victory. Eve assisted the rioters and stopped the demons for a short time, so that others had time to take the citizens to evacuate.

  The resistance did not last long. More and more demons emerged and swallowed the rioters. Eve simply had no ability to stop them. She could only escape here during the crisis to avoid death.

  Safety is only temporary, the intensity of erosion will only get higher and higher, and there will be more demons wandering on the streets, they will smell the breath of living people and attack Eve.

   Holding the pocket knife in her hand tightly, Eve turned to observe the outside. The majestic rain and mist interfered with her vision, resulting in her limited observation.

Some scarlet things gradually appeared in the line of sight. It was blood permeating the stagnant water. Not far away, there were two broken riot suppressors. They looked terrible and their armor was covered with scratches. The limbs were also roughly pulled apart, and looking inside along the gap, a piece of blood and flesh could be seen.

   Around the rioters, there are countless corpses of monsters piled up. It is like a slaughterhouse. The ground is full of broken corpses and internal organs, both humans and monsters.

  After the encounter, the tide of demons did not stay for too long. They continued to advance in the direction of the defense line, and soon disappeared here, but Eve still did not dare to leave.

With a few sporadic monsters, Eve still has the ability to fight, but once encountering groups of monsters, Eve will only have a chance to escape. If you are more unlucky, encountering enhanced monsters, then Eve will probably die. Here it is.

  In the case of unclear circumstances, rushing forward is dying, not to mention, Eve has no idea where to go after leaving here.

The channel    is in the open state, although many messages have become blurred under the interference of erosion, but Eve still distinguished Gawain’s voice in it.

  He was asking for help. Not only was a wave of demons impacting the defense line, but several demons gathered into a huge army, oppressed, and the defense line was under great pressure, as if it would be captured in the next second.

  In the war in the old Dunling districts, Gawain’s situation is the most urgent.

Eve could see war airships passing by, followed by a roar of explosions. Looking in the direction of Gao Wen, the dazzling fire almost lit the sky, as if the raging sea of ​​fire was burning and rolling, but this is still the same. He didn't relieve too much pressure on the line of defense, and he kept shouting in the channel.

  I can’t go to Gawain, so go to another base?

  Eve rubbed her head vigorously, and she quickly gave up the idea.

  Judging from the impression in his own memory, the nearest stronghold is also a very long distance, and Eve cannot guarantee whether he will encounter a monster on this journey.

  So... Isn’t it possible that you can’t do anything, you can only hide here until everything is over?

  Eve was suspicious.

  Humans are still too fragile after all. The power of a single person cannot reverse any crisis. Only when they are in groups, they have a glimmer of hope.

   Another familiar face appeared in his mind, and he gave a different answer.

  Humans are also capable of defeating all of this, as long as they pay a sufficiently high price, discard all the inferiorities, and join the great sublimation.

   "Lorenzo Holmos."

   Eve whispered the name softly, he seemed to be the beginning of all this, following the meeting with Lorenzo, the world began a crazy picture.

  Sometimes Eve wonders what her life would be like if she hadn’t met Lorenzo.

She guessed that maybe as Arthur described for herself, Eve would be frustrated in her career as a police detective. Under Arthur’s secret operation, she would be locked in a delicate birdcage. She would learn a lot of etiquette. Under the guidance of Wang, become a good wife, and then marry a strange man on a remote island.

  Just kidding, Eve still has such a heartbeat at this moment.

  If all this is as she thought, then Eve should now be lying on the beach, basking in the warm sun, instead of struggling to survive under this crazy rainstorm.

  Thinking of this, Eve was actually amused by herself, her smile gradually became bitter, and then her expression returned to cold.

  It was just an illusion. Eve knew very well that her life would never follow such a trajectory. Even without Lorenzo and without all this experience, she would still not live such a life.

  There is forbidden blood flowing in her body, which is both a curse and a blessing.

  Eve is a natural ranger, she will return to the darkness eventually, no matter how sooner or later.

   Sitting in the corner with a folding knife, she regained her strength. As long as she rested for a while, she was ready to leave and move towards Gawain's stronghold. It was also at this time that Eve heard footsteps coming from the street.

  Demon?

   doesn’t sound like it, so is it a citizen?

   Eve got up immediately, they were exposed to the street directly like this, and she was sending them to death. She wanted to rescue the demons before they found them.

  But someone spotted the citizens before Eve, and a deep gasp sounded from the other end of the rain and mist, as if a giant beast was breathing.

   "Run!"

  Eve opened the window and leaped to the ground. She looked at two dim shadows in the rain and mist, the latter leaning quickly towards the forward, like a hunting beast.

   Picking up the pistol, Eve fired directly at the fast approaching black shadow. She could already see the hideous outline of the monster. To make matters worse, more than one monster was approaching.

  She could only speed up and approach, and Eve got closer and closer to the surviving citizens, until she could see the other side clearly.

"what!"

   A scream sounded. After seeing Eve, the other party couldn't step on his foot firmly and almost fell down. Eve's expression was also a little subtle, and he didn't expect to see him here.

  The opponent got up embarrassedly, which was different from what Eve had expected. His expression became calmer. Probably, the strange things encountered today had enough impact on him. Now he is completely numb.

   "Yeah, I’m seeing you again, Buscarlo, it’s not a good time."

  Buskalo nodded, wiped the rain from his face vigorously, and said.

"Yes."

  This is not a good time to retell the old, let alone between Eve and Buscarlo, it seems that there is no old narrative. Looking back on it carefully, there are some terrible things.

  Moreover, the two of them have a very interesting thing in common. Both of them have an ordinary life, but because of the same person, they fell into such a situation.

   "Run, Buscarlo!"

Eve urged, drew the folding knife, ready to meet the enemy, but looked in the direction of the monster attack. Those tall figures were no longer there, and the smelly blood came in the air. Three thin black shadows slowly approached until they walked out. Rain and mist.

   "Yo! Eve!"

  Sao Liangxi said happily, after cutting the monster, she returned to that relaxed state, but her expression matched the corpse on the ground, which really made people feel a little uneasy.

  Rod followed. He did not participate in the battle. It was just the wading of the road that made this civilian with a little physical fitness even more exhausted.

  Eve looked at the last person, as if she had been shocked, she actually didn't dare to recognize each other.

  I saw that Oscar was covered in blood, but his expression was pretending to be relaxed, with a long sword in his hand and blood stained on it.

"Are you OK?"

   "It's okay, but it's been a long time since I haven't exercised, and I feel a little panting."

  Oscar coped with it, thanks to the foundation left when he was young, even after so many years of alcohol ravages, Oscar was still tough and failed to fall fragilely.

The old guy hacked and kicked all the way. He was so vicious. He was really a bandit and pirate. Buscarlo was even ready to take a good look at the "Oscar Wilde Biography" after he left alive. For the first time, I felt that I had never really met this friend.

  Lu Buscalo also asked about related matters.

   "You never mentioned this." Buscalo asked.

   "I brag at first, but they all thought that I was stupid to write," Oscar replied, "So gradually, I won't mention it to others."

  Hearing these, and thinking about Oscar's terrible creative career, Buscalo seemed to understand a little bit.

   Back to the present, the majestic rain and fog and fierce battles made the familiar city completely unrecognizable. Buscalo ran through the ruins. He remembered that this was the hotel, but there was nothing but a ruin.

  "Here...I remember a hotel came from here."

  Buskalo looked around, but from the mess, he really couldn't tell the hotel where his wife was, and even said that they seemed to be the only living people left in the surrounding area.

  He didn’t dare to think about it. The standing water covered his ankles. The height was enough to swallow a lot of things. Buscarlo could also feel the collision of the standing water along the way. Some were hard and some were soft...

  Buscarlo tried not to let himself think about these things, as did the others. The street is still calm right now, but everyone knows that there are many corpses under the water.

  He was filled with pressure, and there was a cruel truth in front of him, which made him have to believe.

"what happened?"

   asked Eve. At the same time, she greeted a few people and leaned toward the nearby building. Now exposed on the street, it was too dangerous.

  "My wife, she should be here..."

  Buskalo's voice trembled.

   "Don't worry, they should be alive."

  Eve was talking and looking at the corpses that were out of the water. In the wreckage of the riot suppressor, the engine was still working stubbornly, making low noises, and steam overflowing, rising like smoke after burning.

   "What do you know?" Buscarlo asked eagerly.

   "I previously evacuated the citizens with these rioters. Most of them have already withdrawn into the defense line. I think your wife should be among them."

  In fact, Eve does not know whether his wife is alive, but in this case, in any case, she has to give Buscarlo a hope, a hope that will allow him to go on.

  Buscalo will survive, even if it is to verify the truth of this sentence, he will continue to walk.

   After a few seconds of silence, Buscalo asked.

"Where is she?"

   "There is a line of defense nearby. There is Gawain, but the situation is very bad. Several waves of demons have hit there, and he is asking for help."

  Eve looked at several people, and then said.

   "I'm about to rush there. Although it sounds like being sent to death, this is the closest line of defense to us."

   "I can go with you," Liang Liangxi wiped the blood from the wiping knife, "I am an anonymous name, chasing the anonymous name of the demon."

  Luo Luo's expression was slightly embarrassed. He was about to say something, but was interrupted by Liang Xi. She stretched out her hand and hooked Luo on his back.

   "I said, you will be together too, right? Translator."

  This is a bright threat, Rod can only nod his head hard, he has no other way to choose, when Rod ran out of the tavern in Hercules, he only had this way to go.

   "How about you? Old guy."

  Eve looked at Oscar. Among the few people, it was Oscar that she could not figure out the most.

  Old but still powerful. He is like a train that has long passed the service period. He is still running on the rails, with gray smoke on his body. No one knows at what moment he will fall.

   "Me? Of course we are together!"

  Oscar has no fear at all, he seems to regard all this as an outing.

   "After so long, it's time for a sequel to "The Biography of Oscar Wilde"!"

  He wiped a handful of hair vigorously and combed the scattered hair back to his head, revealing tired but sharp, tiger-like eyes.
