The edge of pure land
Chapter 5 The Lost Heart
It was a huge ancient tree burning like fire, with thousands of strands of light falling down like a waterfall. Its vines were like the most gorgeous silk in the world. The posture standing in the ruins was like a god descending to the world, overlooking the misery. of earth.
The remains of the skyscraper look so humble and small in front of it.
Lu Fuji was enveloped by the brilliance and fragrance of the ancient tree, as if his soul had soared to the sky, his breathing and heartbeat rates became stronger, and his energy and spirit were fuller than ever before.
It's like arriving in heaven.
Not only him, but everyone felt the warmth and chill.
The warmth comes from the sacred tree.
The chill comes from the ancient altar under the tree.
Those believers knelt and worshiped in front of the altar. They were wrapped in moon-white robes, and the outline of the skeleton was smeared with blood on their backs. At first glance, they looked like corpses wrapped in shrouds.
An old priest stood in the center of the altar, holding a blood-red heart pendant in his hand. It vibrated like a living creature and shed gurgling blood.
The color of blood shines brightly in the darkness, like agate, a gorgeous and enchanting color.
When the blood drips on the barren land, the soil becomes dark and sticky, like a hellish color.
Lu Fuji finally understood.
The unburied corpses in the church, the strange diary, the crazy believers under the golden ancient tree, everything is self-evident.
They were involved in a group of pagan rituals.
The cocoons here have been used as sacrifices by them, so the people in the cocoons will have difficulty in giving birth, and when they emerge from the cocoons, they will turn into bloodthirsty and ferocious mummies.
That is to say, they were lucky and were not found when they were in the cocoon. Otherwise, they would probably have been used as sacrifices and turned into corpses exuding a stench.
The prayers stopped abruptly.
The old priest raised his head. Half of his face was as pale as a disease, while the other half was rotten and festering like a mummy, with no emotion in his eyes.
The white-robed believers also turned around and stared at them. Their rotten faces were like evil ghosts crawling out of hell, with empty expressions and stern eyes.
Officer An, Boss Zhang and the others braked suddenly and forcibly stopped.
"I said we were lost, do you believe me?"
Lu Fuji raised his hands high.
A grunt.
All the survivors were frightened by this battle.
It seems that what they arrived at was not a warm paradise, but a terrifying hell.
A strange smile appeared on the lips of the old priest, and he said hoarsely: "There are still living sacrifices here that have not been contaminated, pure and flawless cocoon breakers, the best sacrifices!"
The believers got up from the ground, sharp daggers protruding from their sleeves.
Lu Fuji was surprised. This group of people called them Cocoon Breakers!
Obviously, the other party most likely knows what happened to them.
It's a pity that there seems to be no opportunity for communication at the moment.
"Get 'em!"
The old priest gave the order, and the believers rushed out.
Officer An roared: "Run!"
"Spread out, spread out quickly!"
Lu Fuji and his companions fled in all directions. There were many broken walls and ruins in this ruins, which was very suitable for hide and seek. Those fanatical believers had strong individual combat power, but their numbers were not very large.
If you want to catch them all, it will definitely not be possible in a short time.
Unexpectedly, the speed of the group of believers was so fast. Even though they had escaped in advance, they were still caught up in just a moment. When the sharp dagger pierced the back, the screams could not be heard.
boom!
Officer An fired again, and one shot blew off a believer's head.
“I didn’t expect there were contraband like firearms.”
The old priest said solemnly: "Take it away!"
Lu Fuji's eyes flickered, thinking of the mummies in the cemetery, and shouted: "Quick, run back, those mummies should be attacking indiscriminately, we can take the opportunity to escape!"
When there is a huge disparity in combat power, the water must be muddied!
I have to say that Lu Buer’s proposal was really eye-catching. Officer An and Boss Zhang called for everyone to run back, but a group of black figures appeared in the fog, as well as chaotic footsteps.
Lu Fuji's heart felt cold. He didn't expect that the way back would be blocked.
Not only that, he also heard the sound of mummies running towards him.
Done!
When the fog dissipated, the person rushing at the front was rolling and crawling, as if someone had driven the ducks here, and behind him were the crazy mummies, bloodthirsty and ferocious!
Lu Buer felt that the man looked familiar, so he thought no.
"Brother Lu?"
That guy was clearly He Sai. Now he was covered in snow water and filth, like a loach that had rolled in the mud. It was obvious that his journey had not been easy.
Sure enough, Jose also came to the ruins, and they rushed in the direction of the light source, and finally met up with the other survivors.
"I finally found you. When I see you, my eyes are filled with tears!"
Jose looked as excited as a bull, and there were a group of survivors behind him. It seemed that the overall survival rate was quite high, probably because he had never experienced an attack by mummies.
Lu Fuji can probably understand him.
Meeting your best friend in such a ghostly place really gives people a lot of emotions, especially when they escape and find their compatriots, and meet again under such a majestic and sacred ancient tree. They may have a sense of relief and hope that they will finally see land after a catastrophic life. Fortunately, unfortunately this is not the case.
But when He Sai ran to the tree, his footsteps stopped abruptly.
The believers headed by the old priest all turned their heads, staring at their group of delicious lambs with crazy and ferocious eyes, and grinning strangely.
"Do you still want to shed tears now?"
Lu Buer wiped his face and said angrily.
"I'm sorry!"
He Sai's expression gradually became ferocious, and he grabbed his arm: "Run!"
The survivors dispersed in a hurry, and the believers rushed forward with smiles.
"Brother Lu, you go first!"
Jose roared angrily and took out an oversized chainsaw from behind. When it was turned on at full power, it made a deafening roar. He rushed back like Lu Bu wielding a halberd, frightening the believers immediately. Know who this is.
Lu Fuji finally knew how this guy survived, he was the real god of war.
"Brother Lu, why are you here too? Have you met the squad leader and the others? Those mummies are so intrusive and so fierce that I got separated from them!"
"No, I haven't met anyone. Where did you get this chain saw?"
"I found a military equipment box on the way here. There are a lot of things in it, but not much that can be used... By the way, Brother Lu, why do you stink so much? Have you eaten shit?"
"Shut your stinky mouth and get closer to me if you want to survive!"
They were talking back to back, as if they were chatting in the trenches, but instead of being surrounded by bullets and bullets, they were surrounded by fanatic believers who were eyeing them eagerly.
The mummies finally launched an attack. The main targets of the attack were the new survivors. Because they were not coated with corpse liquid, they were torn apart in an instant.
And those fanatical believers were not attacked, most likely because their bodies were also rotten, exuding a putrid smell, much like corpses.
The scene became chaotic for a while, but the old priest stared at the brothers in distress. He held the blood-red heart pendant and rushed over with a tiger's lunge.
"Brother Lu, be careful!"
Jose yelled: "Behind you!"
Lu Fuji hurriedly swung out the electric baton and hit him on the head!
Unexpectedly, the old priest stretched out his withered right hand and easily grabbed his electric baton. He let the electric current shoot out but remained motionless. He exerted a slight force on his palm and flattened the stick body little by little!
"Damn, this Lao Deng is so powerful!"
Lu Fuji cursed loudly, and then he was punched in the lower abdomen. The huge force knocked him out and rolled on the ground several times like a ball.
Upon seeing this, He Sai rushed forward with a chainsaw, but was also punched and knocked over.
"You who have only been baptized by the sacred tree and have not mastered the sacred rhythm have not started the true path of evolution at all. You... are not the true cocoon breakers yet."
The old priest threw away the withered electric baton and threw it on the ground: "And I am a cocoon-breaker who has embarked on the path of true evolution. The power I possess is beyond your imagination."
He Sai clutched his chest and got up with difficulty, cursing: "Why does this old man talk so much nonsense? Don't you know that villains die because they talk too much?"
Lu Buer's lower abdomen was also trembling, and he rolled and said hoarsely: "Maybe you feel that you have a great advantage. Don't you often mock me when you play Dou Landlord You Wang Zha?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old priest's bones made a crackling sound and he strode towards them.
The cruel and bloodthirsty eyes seemed to be admiring the blood food.
"Lao An, save the child!"
Boss Zhang rolled around and shouted, "Use that to blow up that old man quickly!"
Officer An was covering the retreat of his companions. Hearing this, he looked in the direction of the old priest and subconsciously took out a grenade from his pocket. It was a life-saving trump card they picked up on the road.
But at this moment he hesitated because he was afraid of killing his two children.
Lu Fuji happened to catch a glimpse of the grenade, and an idea flashed in his mind. He pushed himself up and rushed out, opening his arms provocatively: "Come on, Lao Deng, kill me if you dare!"
Fanatic believers of this kind of twisted belief are usually easily controlled by emotions. When provoked, they become angry and attack his neck like a hungry wolf!
The deer did not hide or retreat, but smiled.
Lao Deng, fell into the trap.
The reason why he had to rush out was because he had to use his own body as bait, not only to keep a safe distance from Jose, but also to ensure that the old priest could 100% eat this grenade.
Of course, he also used his own life and death to force Officer An to throw the grenade.
Even if it doesn't explode at this time, he will die.
Might as well just blow it up!
At this time, Officer An could no longer hesitate. He pulled out the ring and threw the grenade.
At this moment, the old priest's hands locked Lu Fuji's neck, and the grenade that passed through the air exploded on his back, three points and one line!
There was a bang, like thunder rolling.
Both the old priest and Lu Buer were thrown away by the explosion.
Lu Fuji was stunned by the aftermath of the explosion. Everything in his vision became blurry and double-image, and there was a sharp roar in his ears. The world was spinning.
Officer An's grenade was thrown accurately, and he was only injured by the aftermath of the explosion. Although it was fatal to ordinary people, it was still bearable for him.
"Brother Lu! Brother Lu!"
He Sai's call could be faintly heard in his ears, clearly close at hand yet seemingly far away.
Lu Fuji reluctantly raised his head, and was shocked to find that Lao Deng was staggering towards him. A piece of this guy's head had been blown off, and thick blood flowed horizontally, which was tragic and terrifying.
Hell, this isn't even dead.
His scalp was numb, but he just happened to see the blood-red heart-like pendant rolling over and finally falling into his hand.
The remaining sanity made him realize that he had found a way to survive.
That blood-red heart pendant is anything but simple. The blood seeping out of it can pollute the land. Since this group of lunatics want to use this thing for sacrifice, then he can use the pendant to seduce believers!
But when he reached out to grab the pendant, it felt like he was holding a hot iron.
The blood-red heart pendant pulsated in his palm, as if it had life in an instant, but eventually melted into a sea of hot blood.
Only a burning mark was left, just like a silent heart, shocking!
Gone!
Originally, the old priest was also dizzy due to the explosion, but when he saw this scene, he immediately lost his mind.
"How dare you touch our sacred relics, you ugly creature?"
Lao Deng roared crazily and raised his withered hands to strangle him: "Give me that thing!"
"I said it didn't exist on its own, do you believe it?"
Lu Buer scolded: "Also, don't you know who is ugly?"
At the critical moment, he sat on the ground and backed away crazily, slapping the ground constantly.
Jose lost the cover of his odor and was discovered and surrounded by the mummies, but at the critical moment, he understood what he meant. He wanted weapons!
Unfortunately, the chain saw had been blown away. He was still carrying a box on his back, but he couldn't find anything useful after searching over and over. In the end, he could only take out a...flare gun.
"Throw it over, throw it over!"
Lu Fuji glanced at the flare gun with his peripheral vision and growled.
He Sai didn't know what the signal gun was for, but he could only throw it at him.
Lu Fuji grabbed the flare gun, and the old priest had already rushed over and locked his throat. The rotten face so close at hand was as hideous as an evil ghost.
Officer An and Boss Zhang wanted to save him, but it was too late.
At the critical moment, when Lu Fuji was preparing to fight back with a flare gun, he suddenly thought of something.
In the end, he did not choose to shoot Lao Den in front of him with a flare gun.
Instead, it launches towards the sky.
boom.
The mist is illuminated by red light.
When Lu Fuji was about to be strangled to death, the red light of the signal gun illuminated the eyes of the old priest and believers, and a crack finally appeared in their crazy expressions, revealing great fear.
Lu Fuji knew he had made the right bet.
I would like to ask a group of crazy believers who hold a secret ceremony in a forbidden area. What are they most afraid of?
Of course it was discovered by the Orthodox Church.
What Lu Buer had to do was to lure their enemies over. After all, the previous battle had already created enough noise, and they were just one shot away.
Of course, losing the bet doesn't mean you lose anything, it's nothing more than death.
Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.
Even with a one in ten thousand chance, he dared to bet!
Under the light of the golden ancient tree, the thick blood spread along the dry earth, as if nourishing the tree roots deep underground. A strong wind blew in the snow and fog, and the golden vines swayed like dragons and snakes.
There was a faint sound of wind.
No, not the wind.
The survivors looked up at the sky and saw the shadow of the helicopter falling from the sky.
"Call the main city. This is the search and rescue team numbered B537. A life disaster has occurred in the place of death. A clearing mission will be carried out to rescue the surviving cocoons. Report completed."
There was a faint sound of knives, suddenly breaking the terrifying screams.
