Chapter 3 This is an extremely dark and desperate world
For Fang Zheng, the feeling of teleportation was not pleasant at all.
The moment he disappeared, Fang Zheng felt that his feet immediately turned into a void. Then his whole person seemed to be falling rapidly downwards as if he were on an endless slide. He couldn't even tell whether he was heading towards
As he fell, he felt as if there were countless stars twinkling around him, and everything was spinning - and then, Fang Zheng felt his body flying high.
The next moment, gravity captured his body mercilessly again.
"Bang!!"
He fell heavily to the ground again, and Fang Zheng couldn't help but cry out. He felt as if his body was falling apart, and no part of his body was intact.
Why am I so unlucky that I have traveled through time twice in a row and been thrown to the ground twice in a row? Is there any law of heaven?
"Founder!!"
Just when Fang Zheng was cursing in his heart, he saw a man's voice ringing in his ears. Then Fang Zheng felt someone grab him and pull him up from the ground. He opened his eyes and looked in front of him.
, only to see a man in armor staring at him.
"Are you okay? Are you injured?"
"I...I'm fine."
Although he didn't know who the man in front of him was, Fang Zheng shook his head, forced himself to wake up, and then answered. After hearing his answer, the man finally breathed a sigh of relief, then he let go of Fang Zheng and raised his hand
The long sword in hand.
"Quick, let's get out of here! The damn undead are about to surround us! If we don't leave now, we'll never leave again!!"
"Why?"
Hearing the man's words, Fang Zheng looked to the side and discovered that in the pouring rain, dozens of monsters with ulcers all over their bodies, like the living dead in movies, were walking towards them, not far from them.
At this moment, several soldiers were lying in a pool of blood, not breathing.
I left, why come again?
Looking at the scene in front of him, Fang Zheng was completely speechless. Are you trying to kill me, system? I was hunted down as soon as I was reborn. In order to avoid being chased, did I change the world or was I still besieged?
But fortunately, the people who besieged him this time were not those terrible paladins, but a group of living dead... Well, this is actually not much better.
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng also drew Frostmourne with a "swish", and then immediately followed the man in front of him and ran towards the end of the wilderness. The speed of the living dead was not fast, but their number was very large. If it weren't for Fang Zheng and
If that man ran fast, they might never be able to get out after being surrounded.
"Damn it!"
It wasn't until he escaped from the encirclement that the man clenched his fist hard and waved it in the air.
"I never expected that so many undead creatures would appear near the church! What a pity for those good boys... Hey, I can't even bury them..."
After saying this, the man sighed, and then he glanced at Fang Zheng.
"Okay, let's go back to Tristram. These damn undead will definitely attack there. We must protect it!"
"I see."
After hearing the man's order, Fang Zheng said nothing and just nodded. It seems that in the world of system tasks, his identity has been arranged by the system. But until now, he has not figured out which world this is.
, judging from the man's attire, it seems to be similar in nature to the main world in which he was reborn.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Fang Zheng and the man returned to the small town called Tristram in a state of embarrassment. This was a small town that didn't look very big. The gate at the entrance of the town was closed.
There were only two militiamen holding longbows standing on the guard towers on both sides. When they saw the two people coming to the gate, the guards on the guard tower immediately bent their bows and nocked arrows, aiming at Fang Zheng and others.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?!"
Facing the guard's questioning, the man next to Fang Zheng shouted loudly.
"It's me! Rumford! And Fangzheng! We're back!"
"It's Captain Rumford!"
Hearing the voice of the man named Rumford, the guards on the sentry tower were stunned for a moment, and then immediately waved and shouted.
"Open the door! Captain Rumford and the others are back!"
Following the shouts of the guards, the door slowly opened, and Rumford took Fang Zheng in with him.
As soon as he entered the town, Fang Zheng could feel the tense atmosphere here. Under the pouring rain, the whole town looked eerie and deserted. In front of a large pit not far away, there were several militiamen lying in disorder.
Corpses. Seeing these corpses, Rumford frowned immediately.
"Why not cremate them?"
"It's raining too much now! Captain!"
Upon hearing Rumford's question, a guard touched the rainwater on his face and answered loudly.
"We can't light them..."
"Then put up a piece of cloth to block the rain! Use kerosene! Do you also want to see them get up again and drag you into the abyss of death?! Go!"
"yes!"
After hearing Rumford's order, the militiaman turned around and left in a hurry. At this time, Rumford let out a breath and then looked at Fang Zheng.
"Okay, Fang Zheng, it's your luck that you came back alive... Go to the Cow Slaughter Hotel to have a rest, change your clothes, have something to eat, and tell the boss that it will be charged to my account."
"Okay, Captain Rumford."
After hearing Rumford's words, Fang Zheng also nodded, then turned and left. He also needed some time to think about what kind of world he came to, and what Rumford said before.
The words contained so much information that Fang Zheng felt dizzy after listening to them. He vaguely felt that this Tristram was a bit familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere...
Originally, Fang Zheng planned to find someone to ask where the Cow Slaughter Hotel was, but he soon realized that he didn't have to spend that effort - because there was only this hotel in this town, and the sign was still hanging on the door.
.
"jingle."
Pushing open the door of the hotel and walking into the lobby, the first thing Fang Zheng smelled was the pungent smell of medicine. Then he saw several seriously injured soldiers lying there beside the wall of the lobby wailing. When he saw Fang Zheng's arrival, he stood there
The boss behind the counter also waved to him.
"Hey, Fang Zheng! You're so lucky to come back alive!"
"Fortunately, I'm lucky, boss."
Facing the boss's greeting, Fang Zheng responded with a smile, while the boss nodded with a smile.
"Yes, there were sixteen of you, but only you and Captain Rumford came back alive. This is really lucky... Okay, let's not talk nonsense. I have prepared a change of clothes for you in the room.
clothes, hot broth and scones are waiting for you!"
Fang Zheng was very hungry now. He hadn't had a bite of food since he was reborn. So after hearing what the boss said, he hurriedly changed his clothes and then came out to enjoy his dinner. To be fair, these things were not
It's not particularly delicious, but if you're very hungry, everything will taste delicious. Fangzheng is no exception. Anyway, someone is treating him, so he eats without any hesitation, and at the same time, he doesn't forget to praise the boss's craftsmanship.
.As a person who lives in this kind of medieval era, the hotel owner has certainly never heard the praise of someone like Fang Zheng who has experienced the information explosion. He made him smile with just a few words. Not only did Fang Zheng
I added a meal and even waived the cost of the meal with a wave of my hand.
At the same time, Fang Zheng finally succeeded in finding out from the store owner what had happened before.
"You mean...meteor?"
"yes."
Upon hearing Fang Zheng's inquiry, the store owner nodded solemnly.
"There was a meteor that fell from the sky and hit the church directly, destroying the whole church! Oh, you didn't see that scene, it was really terrible. Then the little girl Leah came and said she wanted to summon the militia
Go find her uncle, hey... I really didn’t expect this to happen..."
"Meteor?"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng couldn't help but frown, and then he looked at his boss as if he had thought of something.
"By the way, what's the name of Miss Leia's uncle?"
"Hmm... It seems to be... Deckard Kane."
After hearing this, Fang Zheng finally knew what world he had come to.
This is an extremely dark and desperate world, a world where everyone is struggling to survive, but can only accept their fate helplessly.
