The bus must have been attacked by a Honkai beast. In order to conceal the truth about the existence of Honkai, the top brass blocked the news.
And Baishi Town was naturally abandoned.
No one informed them that there were dangerous Honkai beasts roaming around the town, and no one arranged for them to be evacuated.
Of course, the smart and capable people had already run away long ago. The rest were either people who were incapable of leaving the town, or conservative people who would not leave no matter what.
"The town was almost cut off from the outside world. Everyone relied on the pastures, stored food, and hunting to barely survive. Although life was a little hard, it was not impossible to survive. But...but not long after, wild beasts attacked the town again, killing many livestock and even injuring people. This intensified the panic of the townspeople, and some people began to choose to leave. Now the number of residents left in the town is getting smaller and smaller."
The woman said this with a sad look on her face, and then showed the two of them a packed suitcase.
"Actually, I'm packing my bags and preparing to leave town to make a living in a big city. After all, if I stay here any longer, no one knows what will happen."
"Going to a big city is also a good choice. People are more important than land."
"So you two really don't plan to leave town? You can come with me."
Picking up the suitcase, the middle-aged woman tried to persuade him one last time.
"No need, Auntie, we're fine, just go."
"Well, since you insist so much, I'll give you this room. I probably won't come back again."
After saying the last sentence, the woman left with her luggage. Xu Nuo stood at the door and watched her drive a carriage out of the town.
"Is it a Honkai beast?"
Alicia walked up to Xu Nuo and asked.
"It's most likely a Honkai beast, and it's right in town."
"Hey, Master Huang Liang, do you mean that there are Honkai beasts in the town right now?"
Alicia seemed a little surprised. She looked around and the streets were still quiet. Although it was daytime, the whole town was indescribably peaceful and eerie.
"Why do you think such a remote town was targeted by Honkai beasts so early, but it has not been completely destroyed after so long?"
"Because this Honkai beast has its own consciousness, it regards this town as its own granary?"
Alicia said this, and Xu Nuo shook his head slightly.
The moment he stepped into this town, he had a complete understanding of all the secrets here, just like an omniscient and omnipotent god.
"This town is indeed quite interesting. Do you want me to tell you the truth, or do you want to investigate it yourself?"
Chapter 245: Weird Townspeople
"Since it's a Honkai beast, then we can solve the problem by finding it and killing it!"
Alicia spoke with a very optimistic look, while Xu Nuo just shook his head slightly and said nothing more.
But since the girl wanted to solve it herself, he would just watch her performance. After all, this was the girl's own journey.
The two walked around Bai Shi Town for several circles and did not see any residents, but the secret prying eyes were always there. However, every time Alicia walked in the direction of the peeper, the other party quickly disappeared.
It was obvious that the people in the town were paying attention to the two of them, but no one really dared to do anything.
Alicia also tried to knock on the door, but no matter how hard she knocked, no one in the house responded, giving people the illusion that this was an empty house.
No one was willing to open the door, and there seemed to be no point in breaking in. You couldn't use physics to force the other party to explain what happened in the town.
Moreover, with the existence of Honkai beasts in the town, it is likely that many residents are not clear about the situation.
Alicia lowered her head and began to think about Xu Nuo's words and why there was a Honkai beast in the town.
Then, as if she had thought of something, the expression on the girl's face became solemn.
"Let's go to the ranch. If there are Honkai beasts in the town, that should be the best hiding place."
The two of them walked towards the direction of the ranch, and at this moment, Alicia found that there seemed to be more prying eyes behind her.
As they got closer to the ranch, more and more gazes appeared. Finally, these people could no longer hide and came out one by one.
They were all wearing black robes that hid their entire bodies, so that even their faces could not be seen.
These people came out from all directions and slowly surrounded Xu Nuo and Alicia.
"Outsiders, leave this town, you are not welcome here."
The leading man spoke, his voice was hoarse, and his skinny face could be seen through his hood.
"It would be a shame to just let them go. We haven't seen such beautiful sheep in our town for a long time."
Someone spoke in a sinister voice, with undisguised malice in his eyes.
"Marlena should have warned them, but it seems they didn't take those words to heart."
"She is just a traitor. It's better for her to leave. If she leaves, there will be one less person to share the 'holy fruit' with us."
Some crazy words were heard in the crowd, and the name of the middle-aged woman who had reminded Xu Nuo and Alicia not long ago was also mentioned.
It was obvious that the woman was hiding something, and the residents of this town were not as pitiful and innocent as she portrayed them to be.
Well, since something like that has already been done, naturally the whole town is an accomplice.
"Last chance, leave here. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what will happen."
"What if we don't plan to leave?"
Alicia took a step forward and confronted the leading man, while the latter took a step back.
As he retreated, a dozen people stepped forward.
They were not empty-handed, as they had weapons such as kitchen knives and shovels hidden under their black robes.
They had murderous eyes and looked more like demons than humans.
However, their charge did not last long as they were frightened back by two sharp feather arrows.
There was a wooden bow in Alicia's hand. Just now, she drew the bow and shot an arrow, piercing the bodies of two people.
"I thought you would hesitate for a while and not have the heart to take action."
"I am indeed a kind girl, but I am not stupid. It is my duty to fight against the evildoers and uphold justice!"
Alicia said this and drew her bow again, this time hitting the two men's calves. The men who were hit by the arrows fell down with screams.
Now no one dared to act rashly. They looked at the weak girl in front of them with nervous expressions, fearing that the arrow would fall on them in the next second.
"What are you afraid of? There are so many of us. You can see that even if her arrow is fast, it can only hit two people!"
Someone was shouting like this, but the townspeople remained motionless. It was obvious that no one wanted to be the first one to get shot.
"An arm, a shoulder, and two calves. Why not aim at the deadly part?"
"Hey……"
Alicia was stunned for a moment, seemingly unable to react.
"Well, it's not a good idea to kill someone directly. After all, we don't know the specific situation here yet."
"The kindness of women."
"Don't call me that old!"
The title of "woman" obviously reminded Alicia of something, and the girl's face flushed slightly.
"I don't want to kill anyone. They are all poor people. Maybe they did make mistakes, but at least they didn't commit crimes punishable by death."
Alicia still maintained the posture of drawing the bow and arrow, with the bowstring in her hand pulled into the shape of a full moon.
Although the girl said these words, the expression on her face and the movements of her hands were all filled with solemnity.
Another person took another tentative step forward, and this time the sharp arrow pierced his stomach directly.
Looking at their companions lying on the ground wailing, the other townspeople couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. This time it was their stomachs, but they didn't know where the pain would come from next time.
"Now, tell me, what are you planning and what is the situation in Baishi Town!"
The townspeople fell silent, and the man who had initially persuaded Xu Nuo and Alicia to leave spoke again.
"So...why don't you just leave? Why do you have to meddle in other people's business?"
The arrow in Alicia's hand was aimed at the man standing in the middle. The man raised his head, his hood slipped off, revealing a bloody face.
His body leaned forward with his limbs bent unnaturally. He looked more like a wild beast than a human.
He started running, using his hands and feet. By the time Alicia came to her senses, the other party had already rushed in front of her.
His palms were as dry as sticks, but his nails looked very long and sharp. He waved his palms like a wild beast and attacked the girl.
At such a close distance, the girl had no time to react and could only raise the bow in her hand to block the attack.
"How can you come directly to the face of a beautiful girl!"
With a somewhat unpleasant complaint, Alicia floated backwards under the force of the opponent's attack, and the wooden bow in her hand could not withstand the force and broke directly.
The girl held one end of the wooden bow in one hand and swung it swiftly. Then she used the broken bow as a rope and threw it towards the man who was crawling on the ground like a wild beast.
The other end of the wooden bow was wrapped around the man's neck, causing his sprint to pause for a moment. Then Alicia took a step forward and raised one foot to step on the broken wood that was stuck.
The broken wood chips were as sharp as swords and pierced into the man's neck, causing blood to spurt out.
Chapter 246: The Locked Honkai Beast
Although she seems simple in character, when it comes to fighting, Alicia is not a merciful person at all.
After confirming that there was something wrong with the man in front of her, she killed him without any hesitation.
The broken wooden bow pierced the opponent's neck, completely penetrating it. For a normal person, even if such an injury did not kill him on the spot, he would definitely lose the ability to move completely.
However, this level of damage seemed to have no effect on this strange man. He was still struggling, roaring, and trying to attack Alicia.
Alicia seemed frightened and took a half step back. Of course, it was also possible that she simply didn't want the blood to splatter on herself.
As soon as the man got up, the girl threw the other half of the bow arm in her hand directly, hitting him in the face, causing him to stagger and fall backwards.
The girl retreated back to Xu Nuo's side, looked at the man with a distorted appearance, frowned, and spoke in some confusion.
"What on earth is this...?"
"He has almost lost his mind, and only has aggression left, and his vitality is very strong."
"Is it that Honkai that caused this effect?"
"Hmm... That's probably right. This should be the death squad that Mobius mentioned."
Xu Nuo nodded. The struggling man in front of him looked similar to the evil spirit, except that his power level was a little lower.
This disaster called collapse that was born in this world is indeed very interesting, and it is very likely that it came from some unknown fateful force.
However, this power definitely has nothing to do with abundance. After all, I am a genuine envoy of abundance. There is no reason why I cannot recognize my own power.
The fallen warrior was never able to stand up again. Although his body had mutated, this mutation did not change his life level. This is where the power of collapse is completely different from that of abundance.
He is still just an ordinary mortal, perhaps even worse than when he was an ordinary normal person.
The hideous wound on his neck had obviously had a great impact on him. Some nerve damage caused his body to lose balance and become out of control.
As he fell, the surrounding mob did not disperse. There was still greed in their eyes, but this time the object of their greed was this dead man.
Then, a horrifying scene happened. The townspeople rushed towards the dead soldier, threw themselves on him, and tore his flesh and blood.
"Holy fruit! My holy fruit! Don't fight with me for it. Get out of here!"
"I can evolve, too. I can become a perfect being!"
"Lord, please have mercy on me. Lord, please look at me!"
This time, Alicia was completely frightened. An expression of disbelief appeared on the girl's face. She stood beside Xu Nuo, grabbing the corner of the man's clothes, looking a little at a loss.
"Crazy... They are all crazy."
"So I said, there's no problem in killing everyone here, one by one."
Alicia remained silent, her hands trembling slightly, and she obviously didn't know what to do.
The townspeople ate very quickly, and soon only bones of the dead soldiers were left on the ground.
"If you're scared, then don't watch it. A beautiful girl's hands really shouldn't be stained with blood."
Standing behind the girl, Xu Nuo raised his hand to cover her eyes.
After the world fell into darkness, Alicia heard the sound of flesh being squeezed and bones being crushed.
