Chapter 268 Someone is missing
Chapter 268 Someone is missing
The night is deep.
Elspeth lay on the soft bed, and the fatigue brought by the journey gradually disappeared.
The others' breathing remained steady, and Elspeth closed her eyes in relief.
Taking advantage of the calories after eating and drinking.
Elspeth's thoughts gradually disconnected, and he fell into a deeper sleep.
It was as if the consciousness had just fallen asleep, but also as if it had been asleep for a long time.
There was a sudden knock on the carriage door frame.
Elspeth opened his eyes with some confusion, only to see Liu Li pulling open the door curtain.
"Espeth, something happened." Liu Li said with a serious expression, "Felix is missing."
Instead of being annoyed at Liu Li for forcibly waking him up, Elspeth was shocked by his serious tone.
"What happened?" Elspeth asked. Just as he was about to sit up straight, he felt a pain in his brain.
Liu Li frowned and pointed out the problem.
"It seems something is affecting our perception..."
"Elspeth, get up as soon as possible."
After Liu Li finished speaking, he walked out of the carriage.
Elspeth looked incredulous. She hadn't felt this bored in a long time.
It seemed as if someone had blocked her mouth, nose and ears, causing her to lose her perception of everything around her.
She understood the urgency of the situation.
He immediately put on a set of purple casual clothes and got out of the car.
There, Liu Li and Gotrek had already begun searching the surroundings.
"Why is Felix missing?"
Elspeth joined in and asked Liu Li.
The night was as thick as ink, and the three people could hardly distinguish their figures even though they were only a few meters apart.
"Felix and I agreed to take over at a certain time, but when I woke up, I didn't see him at all."
Liu Li's tone was a little self-blaming, and also a kind of anger after being plotted against.
Elspeth fell silent upon hearing this.
Not only Liu Li, but even she was unaware of it.
Not to mention how Felix disappeared, they didn't even know when he disappeared.
"Ancestors! I found something!"
Gotrek gritted his teeth and growled. Liu Li and Elspeth looked at each other and hurried to his side.
"These are the marks of drag."
A trace emerged, which would only appear when limbs touched the ground. The three of them looked in the direction of the trace and found that the trace extended in the direction of Modheim.
This trace was undoubtedly new and could not have been discovered before they set up camp.
In this case, the direction of the information is very clear.
Felix was dragged away by something right under their noses.
Elspeth felt the anger of the two people beside her gathering, so she half-knelt down and placed her hand over the mark.
There is still a faint breath here.
"Someone was here a quarter of an hour ago... The source of the aura hasn't disappeared..."
"The creature that attacked him had no trace of life..."
"Felix is still alive, the undead attacked him!"
As a death mage who has penetrated the boundary between life and death, Elspeth restored the truth from the remnant of a breath.
She looked at the two of them with a questioning look.
"Felix won't survive the night. We have to set off immediately to rescue him." Gotrek said seriously.
"Then let's set off now." Liu Li nodded, then looked at Espes.
The latter sneered and looked at Modheim fiercely.
"I also want to see who dares to plot against us."
The three of them walked towards Modheim at the same time, with anger in their hearts.
The night grew darker as we approached Mordheim.
It is not the black of the sky, but a black mixed with some kind of magic or law.
Even with a torch, visibility would not exceed three meters.
The three followed the traces all the way to the rotten city gate.
The traces stopped abruptly there, as if they were forcibly blocked by the city gate.
"Someone closed the city gate."
Elspeth deliberately made the word "people" very subtle.
First they abducted Felix, and then they closed the city gates, which seemed to be a provocative act.
“We don’t take detours.”
Liu Li kicked without any hesitation.
Boom——
Although the city gate was dilapidated, it was still four or five meters high.
The heavy city gate was kicked into pieces by Liu Li, making a deafening sound.
It was like someone suddenly setting off a powerful firecracker in a quiet library.
“I love it so much.”
Gotrek chuckled.
Liu Li's way of responding to provocation really pleased him.
Now they are the ones who come with ill intentions.
After the loud noise.
The response from the crowd was still an eerie silence, but they could clearly feel that more and more eyes were fixed on them.
Liu Li didn't care.
Be the first to step into Mordheim.
"Let's follow." Elspeth followed closely behind, holding the sickle staff tightly in his hand.
She kept an eye on her surroundings to prepare for possible magical attacks.
Gotrek was walking at the back, looking back the way he came, expecting some unknown creature to warm him up.
"They're all dead bodies..."
The three of them walked onto the main road and headed towards the tallest building that stood in the darkness.
The streets on both sides were filled with dried corpses or skeletons.
"Looks like a criminal or a homeless person with nowhere to go."
These mummies are both new and old, and their identities can be clearly identified from their clothes.
They stared at the three with hollow eye sockets.
It's like an invisible warning, telling you that this is not a place for living people to enter.
"I guess they'll come back to life at some point."
Gotrek was eager to try, twirling the rune axe in his hand.
However, he had no habit of swinging his knife at defenseless skeletons, and was too lazy to crush their heads first.
"I guess they will survive."
Elspeth sneered. She was very familiar with this trick.
"Then they need to hurry." Liu Li stretched his neck and stopped in front of the clock tower. "I don't have the patience to wait for them to wake up."
They had already penetrated the entire town and arrived at the clock tower in the center.
"The source of the aura is right here." Elspeth and Liu Li stood back to back, "Felix is inside!"
"What are we waiting for? Let's go!"
Hearing that they had arrived at their destination, Gotrek took the lead and chopped down the wooden door with a single blow of his rune axe.
Naked provocation appears again.
And this time, it seemed like the clarion call for war.
In an instant, the entire Mordheim awakened...
The mummies and skeletons broke free from their various rigid postures, and slowly approached the three people, holding sticks or bones that they had gotten from nowhere.
The sound of bones rubbing against each other was like a terrifying song in the dark night.
Announces the approach of death.
If it were an ordinary person.
Faced with the sudden appearance of a sea of corpses, I'm afraid my limbs would go limp with fear before I even made contact.
But the corners of the three people's mouths only rose slightly.
"I can't wait any longer!" Gotrek roared and rushed towards the approaching undead.
In an instant, bones flew everywhere.
Just like a bowling ball hitting a group of building blocks, it crushes them with ease!
