Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 549: Dead City (2/3)

Memories and thoughts poured out, transformed into something inexplicable.

If it is a strong adult man or woman, or a child without much memory, it may be able to withstand this process.

But where did the old man endure this?

Aunt Lydia just managed to hold on to her rationality, stood up straight, and used her fairly strong arms to take her unconscious husband, a bald old man, from her son.

There was a huge wound on his head, and he was holding a **** kitchen knife tightly in his hand. He apparently fought with his son before he escaped.

"Where is Lika?"

Carrying her husband on her shoulders, the old woman asked her daughter's news in a trembling voice, but she got some good news: "You forgot? Didn't my brother-in-law say the day before yesterday that he would give Lika a surprise? That kid was on the axle I bought a new carriage in the town, and this morning I took my family to see the flowers at Baron Dandelion."

The man's voice is also full of rejoicing: "At least they are not in danger, hurry up, let's go to the guards..."

They failed to escape in the end.

As another successful survivor in the apartment building, Miles, the mother and son, used the sword skills he had practiced since he was a child to fight his way out, and escaped from the ground with his unconscious mother on his back. The pool of blood was like a horrible apartment building like purgatory.

He saw the man's mutilated body on the street not far away.

The young man recognized him. He was the son of Aunt Lydia who took good care of him. His name was Da'an, and he was a generous carpenter.

Uncle Da'an usually helps the residents in the building to repair some small tables and chairs for free. Even the charges are very fair. He has always been deeply grateful to the other party. He even practiced swordsmanship because of Uncle Da'an. He was given a wooden sword when he was a child.

He longed for Uncle Da'an to support his family and take good care of his parents, and because he lacked paternal love since he was a child, he always secretly hoped that he could have a father like Uncle Da'an himself.

It’s really not possible, I also want to be a good father, a good son and a good husband like Uncle Da’an.

But now, he died here.

Although the corpses of several crazy monsters fell beside him, the woodworking knife in his hand was really not good at fighting, and his upper body was covered with fuzzy flesh and blood scars and tooth marks from being detained.

And behind him, the bodies of two old people whose life or death was unknown were leaning against the wall—they had obviously fought before, and their bodies were covered with scars, but the unknown dizziness and weird absence finally made them lose their fighting power. and eventually fell.

"Grandma Lydia?! And Grandpa Leisen!"

If it wasn't for his mother on his back, Miles would have rushed over to check their situation, but now, he could only carefully observe the surrounding situation, and then approached these corpses with a somewhat slow pace .

What surprised and saddened him was that Aunt Lydia was still alive among the two old people.

But she was also dead-eyed, obviously dying.

"Myers? And Ruixi...you are all still alive...well...that's great..."

The old man struggled to spit out a mouthful of blood foam, then held the grief-stricken Miles with a trembling hand and stretched out his hand, trying to help him: "Don't help me, I'm going to die... Miles, I'm sorry , it's already this time, but I still want to ask you to take care of Cynthia..."

The old woman moved her body away, blocked by the old man's body and the old woman's body, biting her own arm, the little girl raised her head with teary eyes and kept her voice as quiet as possible.

"Myers..." Aunt Lydia's voice became weaker and weaker: "Myers...protect..."

"Protect your mother...she is suffering too much, she hasn't had time to enjoy the blessings...and Cynthia, protect...they..."

"I will, I will definitely..."

The young purple-haired man felt that the strength in his palm was disappearing rapidly, and he had no time to say anything—whether it was the thanks for the help for so many years, or the family affection hidden in his heart for so many years, it was already an admiration , he didn't even have time to say it.

Aunt Lydia stopped breathing in front of him and closed her eyes.

"Fuck, why?!"

Looking blankly at this scene, Miles felt cold in his heart, but his blood rushed straight to his forehead. His worst fantasy about the future was less than one ten-thousandth of today's. It has become a buffer zone for the confrontation between the Empire and Flameland, but it has nothing to do with those who are at the rear.

Although the prices are a bit more expensive, most of the expensive ones are sublimation materials, and the food of ordinary people has not been affected much.

He thought that his future would gradually improve, that he would gradually rise to the top, lead his mother to live a good life, and repay the kindness of those who helped him little by little... He originally thought so, he was originally so hoped.

But hope is the easiest thing to dash.

"Why, they are all good people, but why do such good people have to die... What happened in the city?!"

The man held the sword tightly in his hand. He looked around the entire Azure City, and he could already hear the screams and roars that gradually became noisy, as well as the faint roars from the other side of the street—the abnormal madness just now was just a prelude, the real Chaos is about to arise.

At this time, Miles was not in a very good condition. Seeing Lydia's family who was deeply grateful and treated him like a real grandmother died in front of his eyes, his eyes began to light up for a while. There was a scarlet halo, and his expression became more ferocious and crazy.

It's just like those crazy monsters before...even far more terrifying than them.

"Grandpa? Grandma... Dad... Huh... Mom..."

"What happened to me just now?"

At this moment, the cries of the little girl Cynthia knocked Miles out of his abnormal state—he regained consciousness, and felt inconceivable about the pain and despair that suddenly overflowed from his heart just now... …He is indeed sad, but not to the point where he wants to destroy the world.

It felt as if someone else's emotions had spilled out of nothingness and infected him.

"Someone! Cynthia, don't cry, you can't help but keep your voice down, let's go first!"

Hearing the noisy footsteps coming from the side street, the man didn't care about other things for a while, with his mother on his back and the little girl in one hand, he quickly hid in the usually deserted alley.

…

Terra 773, September 18, late at night.

The Setar Empire, the Grand Duke of Thorin, and the Viscount of Avak.

Azure City.

Azure City, as the name suggests, is where you can see a piece of blue sky - when the second Viscount Avak established this city and developed the middle and deep mineral veins in the hilly area, because he looked up and saw the endless blue sky, The city was named after this color.

After the mine veins were exhausted, the city gradually transformed into a light industrial city with small workshops. Many baskets, rattan frames, furniture, tables and chairs in the territory of Grand Duke Sorin were all processed here. Fame, but people's sense of stability in life is high.

However, this acknowledgment of a peaceful life is used by big shots as a shield to deceive others.

When the convoy arrived at the edge of Azure City, Ian, who was overlooking the city through a drone, was already frowning.

"This place... has completely become a dead city."

He murmurs to himself as everyone else watching the drone footage nods in agreement.

At this moment, the moonlight is dim, but there is no light in the city. The streets are full of corpses and blood, as well as all kinds of broken small objects, as well as the remains of overturned carriages and corpses of horses.

The buildings on the side of the road and the doors and windows close to the street were all smashed. Even the street lamps were mostly injured, or bent, or fell down, and the air was filled with a layer of strange white mist, which clouded the vision and made the drone have to get closer to see the scene on the street.

More than that.

Ian even saw that in the streets deep in the city, there were still faint human figures swaying... and those figures were undoubtedly the 'undead' in the world of Terra.

To be precise, it is a fungal organism formed after the relatively complete human remains that have died long ago have been controlled by decaying fungi.

The once peaceful and quiet Azure City has now become a gathering place for dead bodies.
