Hello, Arknights

Chapter 353 Xiaoqiu County

run! Run quickly!

He didn't know how many times he had fallen, and how many times his clothes had been scratched and torn by stones and branches, but Vaifan still kept running away. His long golden hair, which he had taken good care of in the past, became a burden, and his face was covered with bloodstains.

Because she was bleeding, she knew she could not escape the pursuit of the wild beasts behind her. They carried a bloody smell that was physically terrifying, leaping in the woods and casting the shadow of death.

They are too sensitive to blood! The honor guard panicked and finally rushed out of the woods. The obstacles that held her back were gone, but in the open area, she knew that in terms of speed, she was no match for those bloody nightmares.

But she had no choice. If she didn't escape, she would die. She would either have her chest ripped open and her flesh eaten like those bounty hunters half an hour ago, or be raised like a makeshift can of food and executed in different ways.

"Food... meat..." The horrifying hoarse voice seemed very close. Although the sound was very small, it seemed to almost explode in her ears. Fear tore her movements apart, and her calf muscles cramped. She fell heavily on the road full of sharp gravel. This was basically a death sentence at this moment.

The blonde Vaifan immediately fell on her back in a terrified defensive posture. Although this might not be very useful, she was still afraid and was not ready to accept death without any resistance.

However, the air unexpectedly became quiet, and the open space was invisibly filled with an oppressive atmosphere. The honor guard knew that the enemy was not retreating, but was preparing for the final attack. She could not see the enemy, but could feel its excitement. It was very hungry.

Her breathing stopped instinctively as she clutched the broken flagpole tightly, hoping that the broken end would be sharper than she imagined... or at least not completely useless.

Well, they actually relied on a flagpole that was not a weapon at all, and it was a flagpole that was broken in half.

Even if she stabbed it into the monster's bloody mouth, the bloody monster's teeth would probably tear her skull apart as soon as it stabbed into the monster's throat.

The wind suddenly swept across the gravel beach, and a bloody figure suddenly appeared. She didn't see where it came from, until she saw the other party's hideous face clearly. She realized that her life seemed to be about to end.

Compared to the silent danger, the rescue that brings loud noises brings unprecedented peace of mind.

A huge sound of breaking wind whizzed past, and the huge weapon that shot out like a cannonball tore and pierced the monster's chest. The powerful force caused the monster's body fluids to splash everywhere. Then, the figure representing the hope of life leaped over, closely catching up with its own weapon, took control of the initiative in the air, and nailed the severely injured monster heavily to the ground!

The shockwave from the explosion nearly knocked Vaifan off the ground. Knowing that this monster had extremely strong vitality, she hurriedly warned, "It's not dead yet—"

The man stomped hard on the monster's elbow, but failed to directly damage the joint as expected. The monster counterattacked, and the man raised his weapon with all his might, throwing the bloody monster into the air and pulling the weapon out of its chest. Then, the crystal of military technology drove a terrifying power. Bright flames burst out from the weapon with a huge roar, and the monster's body was pushed further away by the explosion. The man moved to block the splashing body fluids for the injured honor guard. The scorching burning pain left scars on her body. After confirming that the monster was incapacitated, the orange-red figure immediately turned to his fellow tribesmen: "Are you okay?"

"Let's talk on the way. I just felt that its companions are approaching quickly!" Waifan took off his coat stained with the monster's body fluids with a serious expression.

"Okay, okay, but your injury..."

Vaifan picked up his weapon and carried his companion, and immediately began to speed away from the spot, like an orange-red hurricane.

"I'm fine. Is your leg injured? I'll take you to the camp. Just bear with it until then. Do you have any other companions?"

“… I, we who escaped, were ambushed by monsters on the road, and everyone fled in all directions… and, those who were with me, all died…” If she hadn’t encountered the Vaifan soldiers holding the city-breaking spears in front of her, she would probably have suffered the same fate.

"...I'm Bagpipe, a former member of the second squad of the Storm Commandos." Fiona Yang shed her former glory and became an incarnation of steel in this unconventional war.

"Jane Willow, the honor guard of Xiaoqiu County..." Jane hesitated to speak again. She looked at the wounds on the other person's body. Even though Bagpipe took off her blood-stained coat, she still saw a small amount of blood splashing into the wounds all over her skin.

She had seen how, simply because an open wound touched a little bloody monster, leaving an almost imperceptible bloody mark, in just two hours, it would undergo a hideous transformation into a demon that was no different from those monsters thirsting for flesh and blood. Several districts in Xiaoqiu County were also triggered by loopholes in inspection and defense, which led to this chaotic escape.

Bagpipe had no time to notice her gaze, but because she was still quite a distance away from the safe zone she came from, she opened the relevant topic herself, and the first sentence shocked Jane.

"Hey, Jane, do you know what? I originally thought that coming back with oripathy might hinder my progress, but I didn't expect...

"There's no need to worry about infection from these monsters... From what they say, this might be the second worst hell in Victorian times."

Jane's breath hitched. The bagpipes might have been meant to ease her uneasy situation, but this information made her think of something horrible.

After resisting for several hours, the city where Jane was located had its defense line torn apart by more than ten extremely ferocious blood-red monsters. The city could not continue without support, and its fall was only a matter of time.

Their escape was cut off by the infected operators stationed in Hill County of Rhodes Island. At that time, they were injured to varying degrees and were more or less infected with the blood of the blood-red monster. Therefore, they planned to die with the enemy. It was under the persuasion of those bounty hunters that she reluctantly accepted their sacrifice.

But according to Bagpipe... the infected won't be infected by this bloody plague?!

Were they still saved?!

Jane felt a little dizzy, and the tide of emotions swallowed her rationality. The only thing she could hope for was that the garrison of Xiaoqiu County would come to her aid as soon as possible.

But the other garrisons in Xiaoqiu County had no time to spare. A steady stream of blood-red monsters attacked the hastily built fortifications every day. Moreover, an unacceptable fact was that once a close combat broke out, they would hardly suffer any casualties, as medical supplies were unprecedentedly abundant.

Now the defending Colonel Hamilton can still curb the enemy's offensive through continuous long-range crossbow fire. Once he runs out of ammunition and food, no matter how proud he is of the quality of his soldiers, he cannot say that he can continue to hold on for more than two days.

Not only is the number of enemies gradually increasing, but the presence of certain individuals with distinct characteristics is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.

When the weapons he was proud of gradually lost their effectiveness, panic officially overwhelmed his pride.

He ordered his men to hold their position to the bitter end and not to take a single step forward.
