The Demon Swordsman 3
Ch. 194 - Losing Hope

Very changeable. Perhaps that was what the Lightning Fox could see from the girl, they indeed could not be said to know each other but she knew who Fu Hua was. A spy for Qin Yujin who used to work under his orders. His older brother Fu Qinshan was one of the subordinates who helped the man go through all his evil plans.

Yet now, unbeknownst to her Fu Hua had sided with them.

"Fear of missing, huh? " said Xin Chen.

"Look it out from behind me. I'll kill him with both hands."

Xin Chen could not blame Fu Hua for what had happened to him. Losing someone could leave a deep wound, the way Fu Hua vented her grief was by avenging her brother's death.

Fu Hua herself had always regretted for what happened, if not for Qin Yujin, she and her brother would have lived happily together. Her brother still remained, hugging her and joking cheerfully as he always did before Qin Yujin came into their lives.

The girl did not want the luxurious life or the beautiful clothes that Qin Yujin had always given her. What she needed was already within her brother. He only needed Fu Qinshan.

But not with Qin Yujin. The man took a lot from her. Fu Hua still remembered the last seconds before her brother breathed his last. The guilty gaze that always haunts his day and night after the war.

As Fu Hua was still busy with his head, Xin Chen interrupted behind.

"Alright, the one who said he was going to kill Qin Yujin and have us pay attention from behind. Where are we going now?"

Fu Hua stared, his sapphire eyes flashing with an innocent look. "Ehm ... To there?" Point it to one of the large roads blocked with high iron wire.

Xin Chen almost patted his eel, The Lightning Fox explained flatly. "You want to join the infected? Do you think you can pass them like you're passing by warriors?"

Fu Hua only realized the people passing by were not ordinary residents, they were covered in blood and some parts of their bodies had been torn apart. Making the girl goosebumps on the spot, her guts that had been burning instantly shrieked. Unimaginable if joined with hundreds of bodies, maybe he was immediately pinched like flies swarming carcasses.

"Okay, we're going there like you said. If you're afraid you'd better be in the back row, Miss Scare."

Fu Hua's eyebrows fused together, not accepting such a mention but he himself had never faced directly what was in front of them now other than knowing it from the talk of the people.

The Lightning Foxes arrived at the end of the road, where hundreds of infected were trying to damage the wire fence, the rest climbing over the fence even though none of them were able to reach the end of the fence. It seems that it has been years since the barrier was installed that some parts were damaged. Xin Chen who realized that immediately spoke, "We must leave before they multiply and destroy this fence."

"Where?"

The fox observed Xin Chen's movements, which actually climbed the fence.

"Hey, you want to jump into a sea of dead bodies?"

Xin Chen looked up, "Not there, but up the house."

He had a look under his feet where dozens of bodies were trying to reach him. Xin Chen jumped as fast as he could onto the roof of a nearby house. Then climb again until he arrives at the top. The Lightning Fox followed quickly. Fu Hua was a bit doubtful.

"Curtain, come. You didn't come here to add to the burden, did you?" the Lightning Fox was upset. Greget watched the girl silently in front of the wire fence, Fu Hua replied in panic.

"What if they catch me?"

"Day planting." The answer that came out of Xin Chen's mouth caused him to panic. Waiting for help from either Xin Chen or the lightning fox no one took the initiative to come down to help him. He had just held the fence wire and three infected hands directly touched his hands to his arms.

"Aaaa release!"

"I've been expecting to add weight" muttered the Fox. Take out his magic wooden twig - which may have been his favorite weapon since rising from the dead. "The sooner you climb that fence, the longer you come here your punishment will increase."

"What punishment?" Fu Hua flapped his hand, trying to get rid of the blood and dirty liquid that was sticking out of the infected hand.

"Like this!"

Xin Chen who was adem ayem was shocked when a painful sting invaded his leg.

"Ouch! What's my fault?!"

The Lightning Fox had just exemplified that punishment onto his body. Fu Hua still remained silent on the spot, already worried that the corpse would tear his body apart first.

"Come fast. Some people will see us linger. Focus on the fence, don't look at the others."

"I can't ..."

The sound of screams still roaring filled his head, Fu Hua was still trying to climb and one Infected directly broke down the fence. It almost made him fall to Fu Hua's side.

"Then we will leave you," the fox threatened. The girl thought no more, rather than being left alone she better try to ride. His hands hurriedly grabbed the wire fence that began to roll, until his feet rested on top of the iron was increasingly shaken from below.

Fu Hua took a swing, jumping when the fence fell made a loud noise. The balance was chaotic, but it was fortunate that Fu Hua could stand on a nearby roof.

However, due to one leg jump Fu Hua landed on a fragile roof. He didn't have time to dodge and his foot went into the leaking hole. Underneath it exactly inside the house were some infected ready to bite at any moment.

He closed his eyes, thinking he had been swallowed by the terrifying corpse. His hand could feel someone still saving him before falling down.

He opened his eyes slowly.

Fu Hua goosebumps when looking down. If he falls there, there will be no chance to save himself. He looked up, Xin Chen again saved him.

"Thank you."

"Save your thanks until I help you a hundred times."

The girl's feet now rest on a sturdier roof, breathing deeply because her heart felt like it was about to fall out of the face of the infected.

"We need to hurry before night falls, find a place to rest."

"I saw him," greeted the Thunder Fox, his eyes pointing towards a single hiding place on top of a tall building that might have been abandoned by its owner. Indeed the day had just come down, one day passed so quickly when they were busy facing so many enemies.

"We're going there."

The three moved, towards that place by climbing her. There is no other choice, because taking to the streets is like delivering themselves as bait for violent creatures under them. When it was the afternoon still accompanying, the sunlight was covered by the thick smog in the sky. Xin Chen watched from a distance.

The Southeast campground might still be a bit far from where it is, they were in a no man's city. Almost no one lives because just seeing it is dangerous. It is not possible to live there, some abandoned food stores have been searched to the end. Including other supplies to connect life.

Plus the number of infected in it is huge from the Southeast Campground. Xin Chen intended to return to the resting place where the Lightning Fox and Fu Hua were before something stole his attention.

He realized that down there someone was yelling for help, his voice was very small. Dying is calling for death to take the man's life.

With the iron pillar connected directly down there, Xin Chen descended quickly while holding on. He eliminated some of the infected who moved towards the man until he was left unresponsive. Take him to one of the little houses and lock him up so they can't get in.

He laid the bitten man on his shoulders and stomach, a little sorry for the fate that befell him.

"Now you're safe."

"Ah... Akh, uhuk uhuk!" He tried to get up, making the blood in his stomach seep a lot. "Thank God, I thought I'd die a terrible death in that pile of bodies"

Her slightly white eyes glazed over, "Bo-can you ask for one more thing ...?"

"My body."

"The digger of my neck."

A painful request. Xin Chen had no idea who the male family was, either was looking for him who was now dying in this city.

He was trying to understand the state of the man, if Xin Chen had not killed him now his fate was more tragic than being killed. He will not calm down and will continue to walk as an undead.

"I'll do it."

A faint smile rose on the man's face, teardrops descending to the side of his face. "absolutely ... This is better."

His eyes were still open, slowly his consciousness was gone.

"Why did you get here? There shouldn't be anyone here."

"That's ..." He tried to explain while maintaining consciousness. "We from the Southeast are homeless, Imperial soldiers slaughtering us ... A few small children were brought in by the researcher to serve as experimental material." A cry descended from his eyes as he was explaining, Xin Chen was worried that the man was forcing himself to speak. Getting blood out of his wounds was too much.

"The empire betrayed its people again. We are nothing more than livestock, taken to be killed and sold. This is overdue ... But what we do ... Just begging ... Wishing someone full of hope to come and never ..." His breath was only a few.

"... Betraying us."

Before his death the man muttered very little. "It seems I've seen you ...." His hand tried to grab Xin Chen's face, until it finally fell lying on the ground.

His head turned to the side, his eyes still open. But Xin Chen knew the man was already lifeless. Before the body reacted and started ferociously Xin Chen took out the Steel Phoenix Sword. He cut off the head in his hand.

"As I thought. Traitorous bastard ... You will feel the consequences of your actions, Shi Long Xu."

Xin Chen put down the body, wishing him all the best. Regretting why he helped Shi Long Xu become a leader. Which was originally just an ordinary hell, now the Wei Empire became a hell of a bitch. From his talk, Xin Chen was sure this man was from the Southeast Campground.

He had no idea what had happened to Yu, Three, Shuo and the others. There are so many lives in the Southeast Campground. And the children were brought in to be retested, likely to develop the virus Qin Yujin studied. All of those guesses always lead to bad things. Xin Chen walked out of the small house similar to that warehouse.

Looking at the large inscription on the scrawl on the wall, one word 'peace' was crossed out by blood. Below it is replaced again with the word 'destruction'.

He closed his eyes. Everything looked the same as he had seen it.

These people have lost hope.
