Although he had "experienced" it in the game a long time ago, Fang Zheng still felt extremely depressed after actually entering Raccoon Town.
The entire city looked like it had been completely blocked. All roads were blocked by barbed wire, and vehicles on the roads were jammed in a mess. Given the road conditions, not to mention Need for Speed, even Grand Theft Auto wouldn't be possible.
What the hell is going on with those STARS guys?
Fang Zheng was puzzled. He picked up the newspaper beside him and took a look. Then he compared his memory with the date of the last time he traveled through time. He found that it had been two months since the incident in the mansion.
So what have you been doing for the past two months? Just eating and waiting to die? I went through so much trouble to rescue you all, and now you guys are causing this?
Then what use do I have for you?
“Woo… woo…”
Just as Fang Zheng was silently complaining, the zombies around him also noticed their arrival and slowly walked towards them with low voices. These zombies were not fast, even very slow, but their bloody bodies and the beast-like roars coming out of their mouths still made people shudder.
"Teacher... this is..."
Looking anxiously at the swaying black shadows around her, Elise's face turned pale, and Elaine also drew the knight's sword at her waist.
"Calm down. These zombies are not that strong individually, and they don't cast magic like monsters. They shouldn't be difficult for you to deal with. The only question is whether you can do it."
Fang Zheng glanced at the girls behind him. Although Emma and Laura looked pale at first, they had calmed down now. As for Altina, she directly summoned a lightsaber. On the other side, Lisha silently grasped the greatsword and stared at the enemy in front of her vigilantly. Liz also whispered some prayers and drew out a long sword to prepare for battle.
Only Elise was holding the hilt of the sword, looking at the zombies in front of her. Her whole body seemed to be frozen there, unable to move.
Well... although I can understand it.
"Go! Let's charge in! There's no need to hide our abilities. In this situation, we have to do whatever we can!"
"Where are you going?"
"Police station!"
Fang Zheng glanced at the map of Raccoon Town, then drew out his pitch-black sword and swung it forward.
"Set off!!"
At the same time, zombies from all directions roared and rushed towards the group.
Just as Fang Zheng said, a single zombie had no power to resist the girls who were used to fighting monsters. In the crowd, Emma released the guide magic, releasing layers of protection and acceleration gains on everyone, and then Laura and Lisha swung their swords and cooperated with Fang Zheng to chop the zombies rushing towards them into pieces like a meat grinder.
Elaine and Liz were on the left and right, responsible for protecting Emma, who was in the middle as a spellcaster guarding everyone.
This was the first time Fang Zheng saw this girl from the Republic of Calvard fighting. She held a knight's sword in her hand, wielding the weapon with a fierce and fanatical momentum, mercilessly chopping off the heads of zombies one by one. However, she didn't seem to feel very good. Fang Zheng could see that Elaine's brows were slightly furrowed, and she obviously didn't like this kind of battle.
Liz on the other side also opened Fang Zheng's eyes. This knight from the Star Cup Knights held a holy book in his left hand, muttering something to himself, and held a long sword in his right hand. He swung at the zombies with a "swish swish swish" and saw the long sword suddenly split into a chain sword that danced among the zombies like a silver snake, breaking them into pieces. Then, Liz closed the holy book in her hand with a "snap", and several flames burst out instantly, completely engulfing the zombies.
Wow, he is worthy of being a church knight. He performs funeral, cremation and ascension all in one go!
Not only do they take care of the killing and burial, they also give you a eulogy!
Elise was in charge of finishing the job, but up until now, she had only been watching all this with a pale face and sweat all over her forehead, and she hadn't even pulled out the weapon from her waist. Although Fang Zheng saw that her hand was tightly gripping the hilt of the sword, it seemed as if the sword weighed a thousand pounds and she couldn't pull it out at all.
Fortunately, Artina is there to support him, so he won't be in any danger for the time being.
"Mr. Fang Zheng! There's someone over there!!"
Suddenly, at this moment, Emma pointed to the street and shouted. Fang Zheng turned around and saw a group of zombies breaking through the glass and rushing into the store on the street. Screams and "bang bang bang" gunshots were heard from inside.
Hmm? Could it be the gun shop owner who kindly gave away bullets at the beginning of the second generation?
After glancing at the name of the weapons store above, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows.
"Everyone get ready and head to the store over there!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Zheng took the lead and rushed directly towards the store. Before the zombies with their backs to him could react, they were chopped down by Fang Zheng's sword. At the same time, inside the store, there was a piercing scream and a man's painful wail.
"No, Emma!! No!!!"
“Bang, bang, bang!!!”
Soon, another series of gunshots rang out from behind, and Fang Zheng hurried over, only to see a fat middle-aged man holding a gun and confronting the zombies, with a little girl lying behind him. At this moment, the zombies had surrounded them, and the gun shop owner seemed to have run out of bullets, and was now desperately holding the gun, watching the zombies in front of him pounce on him.
“Swish!!!”
At the moment when the zombies rushed over, a pitch-black sword suddenly shot out from the side and pierced through the heads of three zombies, nailing them to the wall like a string of candied haws. Then the next moment Fang Zheng tightened the hilt of the sword and turned it back. The heads of the zombies exploded instantly, and their headless bodies fell softly to the ground.
"Oh, Emma!!!"
The gun shop owner didn't even care about his own escape. He turned around almost immediately and fell to the ground, looking at the girl lying on the ground behind him. The girl's arm was also bleeding, and a bite mark was clearly visible. It was obvious that she was attacked by a zombie.
"Emma... no, Emma..."
Looking at the girl in front of him, the gun shop owner couldn't help but mutter to himself. He obviously knew very well what would happen to people bitten by zombies. At this moment, his face was full of despair.
"Mr. Fang Zheng!!"
At this time, the others had already cleared the zombies around and came here. They were also stunned when they saw the scene in front of them.
"That child...was she bitten?"
Looking at the girl's bloody wound, Emma's face turned pale.
"Okay, don't get excited. It's not time to give up yet."
Fang Zheng shook his head, then he looked at the girls behind him.
"Emma, Liz, Altina, who among you is ready to detoxify and purify?"
"Let me do it."
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Liz came out and then came to the girl's side.
"Is she poisoned? Or cursed?"
"I don't know either. Anyway, you should try it first."
Fang Zheng was not sure whether being infected by the T virus was considered poisoning or a curse in the worldview of the Semria continent. In short, let Liz use all the spells that can remove the DeBuff and try them out.
"What are you doing?"
Seeing this, the gun shop owner suddenly became nervous, but Fang Zheng just reached out and pressed his shoulder.
"Okay, don't get so excited, we're just seeing if there's any way we can save your daughter."
"How is it possible? There is no way you can save her. So many people have died..."
Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, the gun shop owner retorted in a low voice, but he did not try to stop it. Instead, he stared at the scene intently - after all, he did not want his daughter to die like this, so even if there was a one percent chance, he would give it a try!
At this moment, Liz had already knelt in front of the girl. Obviously, the T virus had begun to take effect. The girl's face turned pale, and even black blood vessels appeared on her face. Her eyes were full of bloodshot and she groaned in pain. Seeing this scene, not only did the gun shop owner's face change drastically, but even the faces of the girls around him were not very good.
"Merciful goddess, please heal her pain."
As she spoke, Liz spread out the Holy Scripture again and raised her right hand. Soon, a green halo emerged from under the girl and enveloped her. Seeing this scene, the gun shop owner was stunned and speechless, while Fang Zheng stared at the personal terminal at hand without saying a word.
After a while, the girl's breathing gradually became steady, but her complexion was still very bad.
"continue."
"OK."
After that, Liz cast several curse-breaking and purification spells in succession, but they had no effect until she finally released a "great healing spell" that restored the area and removed all abnormal states. Only then did she see the pale blue color on the girl's body gradually disappear, and the horrible black blood vessels on her face disappeared. The girl's face, which had been as pale as a death, regained its rosy color, and her breathing became steady.
"Oh, Emma, Emma!!!"
Seeing that his daughter was cured, the gun shop owner immediately hugged his child tightly in his arms and kept thanking everyone.
"Thank you, thank you for healing her..."
Unfortunately, Fang Zheng quickly poured cold water on the gun shop owner's hot heart.
"No, we didn't completely cure her."
"Why?"
"What's going on, Mr. Fang Zheng?"
Hearing this, Liz was also surprised, while Fang Zheng took out his personal terminal, scanned the girl again, and shook his head.
"Your spell only temporarily suppressed the virus's erosion of her body, and at the same time healed the parts of her body that had not yet been eroded... To put it bluntly, your spell temporarily increased her resistance to the virus to a level that she can fight it alone, but this increase is time-limited and will gradually weaken."
"What should I do then?!"
"At this point, the only solution is to find a vaccine."
Fang Zheng sighed and glanced at the personal terminal in front of him.
"Let's continue on our way to the police station. Oh, and you guys should come too... By the way, I want you to tell me what happened."
