"Miss Stoker, hurry! Run, leave me alone"

"Mr. Reed...Abner, we can't leave him alone."

"Wait, wait for me!"

"Go away, don't hold me back, I don't want to die with you!"

A cacophony of voices, mixed with hoarse roars, echoed through the streets of Salisbury.

Yes, this is Salisbury, where Officer Rowan used to live, work, and live. Obviously, although he left at that time, many people still stayed here as a place of distance.

In a city a little further away from London, there are refugees who have fled from nearby London, and there are also survivors who were originally residents here.

But now, these are no longer important, because the enemy who was only wandering in Winchester in the east suddenly rushed here for some reason.

"Yes, it must have been caused by the sudden movement before... No, these living corpses are too strong, and we can't resist them at all... We should leave."

The person speaking now was a wizard wearing a khaki robe. He came to Salisbury some time ago.

Before that, he had planned to work with several other friends around him to try to use this place as a stronghold to take in and protect those who survived the initial wave of zombies. But now it seems that this place may not be defended at all.

Living.

"Yes! Let's go. Even if we stay, we won't be able to delay them for long. From the looks of it, there must be stronger zombies coming from behind... Oh, I don't know what happened!"

One of his fellow wizards couldn't help but nodded, urging the others to prepare to evacuate.

However, it was as if someone didn't want to let them leave safely. Suddenly, a bloody beam penetrated the fog and instantly hit the back of a middle-aged wizard standing at the edge.

"laugh"

In just a blink of an eye, the bloody light melted through his chest and back, taking away his life. And the light that penetrated from his chest suddenly fell to the ground, and then disappeared, leaving behind

A charred pothole.

"What?"

The others were startled and quickly raised their wands to defend themselves, but the follow-up attack did not come immediately. Due to the mist surrounding them, they could not find any enemies in the direction where the blood light just came from.

Everyone was a little panicked for a while.

"What are you still doing? Run!"

The leader of the yellow-robed wizard waved, and then he dragged a companion beside him and rushed into the alley not far ahead. The others hurriedly followed after seeing him.

But before they could run far, they felt a gust of wind blowing above their heads. They quickly looked up subconsciously, and saw several strange figures passing in front of them in the fog.

"Damn, I ran in the wrong direction, turn back! Turn back now!"

To be honest, they actually don't know who is chasing them until now... No, they don't even know if the other person is chasing them.

But what does it matter?

The most correct choice at the moment is to stay away from danger, and think about these problems later after escaping.

It's a pity that today's fate seems to be against them. Suddenly, they heard a roar and roar behind them, and then the figure that just flew over their heads passed over them again, and this time...

Landed directly in front of them.

"stop!"

The yellow-robed wizard gave a low-pitched cry, causing everyone to stop in a hurry, and all of them stopped with pale faces.

Because there was still such a distance and the existence of gray fog, they could not see the specific appearance of those figures. But they could still see that the other party was indeed standing in front of them.

"Bell, it seems like... their backs are to us?"

One of the witches whispered to the yellow-robed wizard, and at the same time subconsciously took a half step back. But she didn't know if it was this half step that alerted the figure closest to them, who stood at the end.

The expression of the witch in front suddenly changed.

"Turn around!"

Before he finished speaking, everyone heard a low roar, and then... this time everyone saw a figure suddenly leaping high towards them, and the landing point was exactly in front of the witch.

"Obstacles!" "Shattered to pieces!"

The yellow-robed wizard and a companion who reacted the fastest immediately stretched out their wands and cast the spell before the figure landed. Looking at the speed of casting the spell, their actual combat abilities can be said to be quite outstanding among ordinary wizards.

.

However, the Obstacle Curse was hit, but it had almost no effect; the Crushing Curse was also hit the moment after that, but it only caused the figure to pause for a moment.

But at this time, they finally saw the other person's appearance clearly. He was a thin humanoid creature with a bulging back, claw-like hands, and some messy and sparse hair hanging on his head. Bloody light flowed in his eyes.

It looks like a beast with only instincts left.

However, the fragments of cloth hanging on its body revealed its original identity.

That was a living corpse, and an evolved living corpse!

"Stab"

The opponent fell to the ground for a moment, then raised his right hand and waved it in front of the witch. The next second, blood splashed and stained its dry and gray skin, stained with some unknown stains.

"ah!"

The witch screamed and fell to the ground, but her companions did not dare to save her because the skinny living corpse had already pounced further on her.

No, the situation at this moment was more dangerous than that. Everyone discovered that the living corpse had attracted the other two similar living corpses in front, and their targets naturally fell on the remaining people.

On the body.

"Roar"

"Run!"

They originally thought that they were wizards and had the ability to escape, but now they discovered that they were actually the same as the Muggle survivors who just ran away in front of the low-level living corpses.

As long as they stop, they will die; if they cannot run as fast as their companions, they will die! Even if they have outrun all their companions, there may be more terrifying enemies ahead waiting for them to die.

At this point, apart from throwing dice with the goddess of fate, maybe dying earlier would make you suffer less.

Seeing two living corpses passing by the same kind that was biting the witch, and speeding towards this side, the yellow-robed wizard named Bell gritted his teeth and turned around to block behind his frantically escaping companions.

"Come on! Let me die! Me"

Before he could finish speaking, the enemy's sharp claws had already been swung in front of him, and he could almost see the miserable appearance of his head being shattered in the next moment.

But who knew that suddenly, the living corpse that had rushed in front of him would be smashed into the wall next to him with a "bang" sound.
