Chapter 471: Undead Resurrection?
Chapter 471: Undead Resurrection?
Upon learning that Huo Xiaoxiao didn't have high standards for a boyfriend, meaning he also had a chance, the man in his twenties got very excited.He couldn't help but quicken his pace, walking to the very front, putting about seven or eight meters between himself and the three people behind him.
At that moment, he suddenly noticed something ahead. On the left and right sides of the corridor, a set of that kind of Western plate armor was placed on each side.
This type of Western plate armor looked very cool, covered entirely in large, snow-white armor plates, seamless and airtight.
Furthermore, each of these two sets of plate armor held a long-handled iron axe, standing there erect.
From any angle, they looked like knights guarding a gate.
"Xiaoxiao, look at this! Cool, right?"
The man in his twenties walked up to the set of plate armor on the left, pointing at it excitedly. "I've only ever seen this kind of thing on my phone before! Back then, I thought this Western armor was really cool. Later, when I run into Gu Bei, I'm definitely going to ask him to lend me this armor to wear for a few days. When I go to the comic convention then, I'll be the coolest guy there!"
Seeing the man in his twenties so excited, both Huo Xiaoxiao and Huo Yunyun were rather indifferent.
After all, as girls, they weren't really interested in this armor stuff, all that fighting and killing.
If what was in front of them wasn't armor, but a beautiful set of Western-style women's clothing, they would absolutely be thrilled, rushing over to take photos and snap souvenir pictures together.
As for the black man, Blake, coming from Africa, the poorest continent, he wasn't interested in armor or such things either.
Whether it was Asia, where Hua Country people were from, or Europe, where the West was, historical trends had been progressing.
Only that poorest continent, for thousands of years, showed no development whatsoever, feeling as if they were just sitting around waiting to die.
Of course, it might also be due to different races.
After all, in today's world, the tech giants and such are all Asian and white people.
Can you name one top-tier black scientist?
Therefore, the only thing the black man Blake was interested in was women, especially Huo Xiaoxiao.
He was practically drooling over her.
The man in his twenties seemed to genuinely love armor.
Perhaps deep in his heart, he harbored a dream of donning armor, expanding territories in ancient times, bathing in blood on the battlefield, becoming a general.
He gently stroked the silvery-white plate armor in front of him. The chill transmitted from his fingertips made his entire body tingle with excitement.
Suddenly, he heard Huo Xiaoxiao shout at him from her position, her voice filled with urgency, "Be careful!"
The man in his twenties frowned. Be careful of what?
He completely failed to notice that while he stood in front of the plate armor on the left, the plate armor behind him, which was on the right from Huo Xiaoxiao's perspective, had its right hand gripping a long-handled iron axe. Whether due to age or some other reason, the axe slipped from the plate armor's right hand.
The axe blade fell, unerringly aimed at the man in his twenties.
The three people behind him, Huo Xiaoxiao and the others, naturally noticed and hurriedly warned him.
Unfortunately, the man in his twenties reacted too slowly.
His back was struck by the heavy, long-handled iron axe.
The force directly pressed him down, flattening him onto the floor.
"Uh... uh... uh..."
The man in his twenties never expected this turn of events.
He only felt a sudden, heavy blow on his back. It hurt so much.
Besides that, he coughed up several mouthfuls of bright red blood.
Huo Xiaoxiao and the other two rushed over. Seeing the man's terrifying back injury and him spitting blood, they were thrown into complete panic.
Huo Yunyun even directly pulled out her phone, ready to dial the ambulance, but her hands were shaking so violently that she couldn't grip it properly.
The phone fell to the floor.
"Save... save me..."
The man in his twenties tremblingly stretched his left hand toward Huo Xiaoxiao.
Huo Xiaoxiao grabbed his hand firmly.
"Don't worry! The ambulance will be here soon! You have to hang on!!!"
Huo Xiaoxiao actually knew this man liked her, but she didn't have feelings for him.
Still, they had been classmates for three years. Of course she would try to save his life.
"Hurry up!"
Huo Xiaoxiao turned her head to urge her sister. As she did, a flash of white light glinted at the outer corner of her left eye.
She turned her head back and witnessed a scene that could only be described as haunted.
The lifeless Western plate armor beside them suddenly came to life. Then, it drew the sharp longsword from its waist and, with a *whoosh*, thrust it downward, piercing through the neck of the man in his twenties.
Before, when the long-handled iron axe struck his back, he wasn't dead. With timely emergency treatment, he could have kept his life.
But now, with the longsword twisting and churning inside him, he was truly done for.
"Run! Run fast!"
The human body has a very peculiar phenomenon.
A final rally before death.
Someone gravely ill, almost dead, suddenly becomes lively and energetic again. Can eat and drink.
Then, not two days later, they die completely.
This man in his twenties, with his final shout, was exactly like that.
A final rally, shouting for the woman he liked, telling her to run fast.
Huo Yunyun, seeing a person killed right in front of her, was completely stunned.
Forget her, even the black man Blake was stunned.
Even though on that backward African continent, he had seen plenty of dead people, killings, warlord conflicts, guns and artillery flying everywhere, ever since he came to Hua Country, he had only felt incredibly safe.
He never saw anyone getting shot on the streets again; at most, there were fights and brawls.
Therefore, having gotten used to this environment, suddenly witnessing a death right in front of him, a murder no less, caused his already not-very-thoughtful brain to temporarily shut down...
"Ghost! There's a ghost! This is a Western undead revival!!!"
Huo Yunyun flailed her arms and legs, her pretty face pale with terror.
Her older sister, Huo Xiaoxiao, slapped her across the face with a sharp *smack*. "What ghost?! Why aren't you running?!"
With that, she grabbed her sister Huo Yunyun's hand and started running back the way they came.
As for the black man Blake, she actually didn't like black people either.
As for yesterday's argument with Jiang Ran and Liu Ruyi, those words that seemed like she was taking the black man's side were actually her speaking up for her sister, since her sister had found a black boyfriend.
Therefore, Huo Xiaoxiao absolutely would not take him along while escaping.
But the black man Blake wasn't a fool either. Knowing there was danger, his shutdown state ended, and he ran faster than anyone.
He completely ignored Huo Yunyun calling after him.
Of course, the faster he ran, the more the area below hurt.
Consequently, his speed immediately slowed down. He fell back again, ending up side by side with them.
When the three of them ran to a corner, Huo Xiaoxiao boldly glanced back. She saw that the Western plate armor knight's helmet was facing directly toward them, but its body remained completely motionless.
As if the haunting had stopped again?
...
"Everyone who hears me, gather here! The estate is very dangerous! I repeat, gather here!!!"
Jiang Ran had also entered this multi-story warehouse.
He was shouting floor by floor.
As he kept shouting, Jiang Ran suddenly realized something wasn't right.
The problem was that his shouting wouldn't just attract his old classmates who came with him and the people they brought.
Besides that, it seemed like it could also attract those three Hunters, right?
What if he was unlucky enough to attract one? What should he do then?
Standing on the first floor, Jiang Ran felt he probably wouldn't be that unlucky.
After all, the entire castle estate was so vast.
There were only three so-called Hunters. If he really ran into one, he could only blame his own bad luck.
So, after shouting his way around the first floor, he went up to the second floor.
When he reached the second floor, he thought he heard extremely chaotic noises coming from upstairs.
Therefore, he didn't go into the numerous rooms and corridors on the second floor. Instead, he followed the staircase up to the third floor.
