Chapter 4 This Is an Extremely Dark and Desperate World
For Fangzheng, the feeling of teleportation was not at all uncomfortable.
The moment he disappeared, Fang Zheng felt that his feet immediately turned into a void. Then the whole person fell down as fast as he was sitting on an endless slide. He couldn't even tell if he was falling down, he only felt like there were countless stars twinkling around him, and the sky was spinning everywhere—and right after that, Fang Zheng only felt his body flying high.
The next moment, gravity once again captured his body mercilessly.
"boom!!"
He fell heavily to the ground again, and Fang Zheng couldn't help but call out. He felt like his body was about to fall apart, and no part of his body was intact.
How could he be so unlucky, to cross twice in a row, and to be thrown to the ground twice in a row? Is there a law of the king of heaven?
"Fangzheng!!"
Just as Fangzheng was slandering in his heart, he saw a man's voice ringing in his ear, and then Fangzheng 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 and forced himself to wake up before answering. Hearing his answer, the man finally let out a sigh of relief, and then he let go of Fangzheng and raised the long sword in his hand.
"Quick, let's get out of here! The damn undead are about to surround us! If we don't go now, we won't be able to go anymore!!"
"Hey?"
Hearing the man's words, Fang Zheng looked to the side, only to find that in the pouring rain, dozens of monsters with festering bodies, like the living dead in the movie, were walking towards them, not far from them, At this moment, several soldiers have fallen in a pool of blood, without breathing.
I went, why come again?
Seeing the scene in front of him, Fang Zheng was completely speechless. System, are you trying to kill me? I was chased and killed as soon as I was reborn, but in order to avoid the chase, I changed the world or was besieged?
But fortunately, it wasn't those terrible paladins who besieged him this time, but a group of living dead... well, it's actually not much better.
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng also pulled out Frostmourne with a "shuh", and then immediately followed the man in front of him and ran towards the end of the wilderness. The speed of those living dead people is not fast, but they are very numerous. If Fangzheng and the man were not running fast, they would never be able to get out after being surrounded.
"Damn it!"
It was not until he escaped from the encirclement that the man clenched his fist and waved it in the air.
"I didn't expect so many undead creatures to appear near the church! It's a pity those good boys...hey, I can't even bury them..."
Having said 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."
Hearing the man's order, Fang Zheng didn't say anything, just nodded. It seems that in the world of system tasks, his identity has been arranged by the system. It's just that until now, he has not figured out which world this is. Judging from the man's dress, it seems to be similar to the main world he was reborn in.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Fang Zheng and the man returned to the town called Tristram in a state of dismay. This is a small town that doesn't look very big. The gate of the town entrance is closed, and only two militiamen with long bows are standing on the sentry towers on both sides. When they saw the two of them approaching the gate, the guards on the sentry tower immediately bent their bows and shot arrows, aiming at Fang Zheng and others.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?!"
In the face of the guard's question, the man beside 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 guard on the tower was stunned for a moment, then immediately waved and shouted.
"Open the door! Captain Rumford they are back!"
With the shouts of the guards, the door slowly opened, and Rumford walked in with Fang Zheng.
As soon as he walked into the town, Fang Zheng could feel the tense atmosphere here. Under the pouring rain, the whole town looked gloomy and deserted. In front of a large pit not far away, there were still several corpses of militiamen lying in disorder. Seeing these corpses, Rumford's brows furrowed.
"Why not cremate them?"
"It's raining too much now! Captain!"
Hearing Rumford's question, a guard touched the rain on his face and replied loudly.
"We can't set them on fire..."
"Then put up a cloth to block the rain! Use kerosene! Don't you want to see them get up again and drag you into the abyss of death?! Go!"
"Yes!"
Hearing Rumford's order, the militiaman also hurriedly turned and left. At this time, Rumford let out a sigh of relief, and then looked at Fangzheng.
"Okay, Fangzheng, it's luck that you can come back alive... Go to the Slaughtering Cow Hotel for a rest, change your clothes, eat something, and tell the boss that it's on my account."
"Okay, Captain Rumford."
Hearing Rumford's words, Fang Zheng also nodded, then turned to leave. He also needs a little time to think about what the world he has come to is. The words that Rumford said before were too informative, and Fang Zheng was dizzy when he heard it. I think this Tristram is a little familiar, as if I've heard it somewhere...
Originally, Fangzheng planned to find someone to ask where the Butchery Hotel was, but soon he found that he didn't have to spend that much effort—because there was only one hotel in this town, and the sign was still hanging on the door. .
"jingle."
Pushing open the hotel door and walking into the lobby, Fangzheng first smelled a pungent smell of medicine, and then he saw several seriously wounded soldiers lying there moaning beside the lobby wall. Seeing Fang Zheng's arrival, the boss standing behind the counter also waved at him.
"Yo, Fangzheng! How lucky you are to be able to come back alive!"
"Fortunately, my luck is good, boss."
Facing the boss' greeting, Fang Zheng responded with a smile, while the boss nodded with a smile.
"Yeah, you went to sixteen people, and only you and Captain Rumford came back alive. This is really lucky... Okay, no more nonsense, I have prepared a change for you in the room clothes, and warm broth and scones are waiting for you!"
Fangzheng is also very hungry now, and he hasn't eaten a single bite since his rebirth. Therefore, when I heard the boss's words, I hurriedly changed my clothes, and then came out to enjoy my dinner. In all fairness, these things are not particularly delicious, but when people are very hungry, everything is delicious, and Fangzheng is no exception. Anyway, someone treats guests, so he also unceremoniously let go of his appetite and ate, and at the same time did not forget Touted the boss's craftsmanship. As a person living in this kind of medieval era, the hotel owner has of course never heard the compliments of people like Fang Zheng who have experienced the explosion of information. He made him smile with just a few words, not only adding to Fang Zheng After the meal, he even waved his hand and directly waived the meal fee.
At the same time, Fang Zheng finally managed to find out what happened before from the shop owner.
"You mean... a meteorite?"
"yes."
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, the shop owner nodded solemnly.
"A meteor that fell from the sky directly hit the church and smashed the whole church down! Oh, you didn't see that scene, it was really terrible. Later, the little girl Leia came and said she was going to call up the militia. Going to her uncle, hey...I really didn't expect such a thing to happen..."
"Meteorite?"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng couldn't help frowning, and then he looked at the boss as if he had thought of something.
"By the way, Miss Leah's uncle... What's the name?"
"Um... it seems to be called... Deckard Kane."
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 fate.
Diablo.
