Doomsday Code

Chapter 197 Scavengers

The wind howled above the earth, blowing through the endless ruins and making all kinds of whimpering sounds, like the wailing of this ruined city.

The moon in the dark night that his mother had talked about has not appeared tonight. Sheli's vision is only the part illuminated by the campfire in front of him. Beyond the firelight is endless darkness and murderous intent.

Sheli clenched the butcher knife in his hand and looked at the darkness outside the campfire.

A rustling sound was heard in the darkness, and just as Sheli was about to raise his knife, a stunningly beautiful face he had never seen before appeared before him through the darkness.

He had lived in the first half of his life in the desert city where neither humans nor ghosts existed, where everyone was starving, cold and skinny, so he had never seen any stunning beauty.

And now he saw it.

"My dear, I wonder if I can take shelter here. You know the nights here are very scary. I didn't find any firewood today, so I only ask for one night."

A clear and moving voice rang in Sheli's ears. It was the most gentle voice he had ever heard since his mother passed away.

Marta had never seen such a cold person. It wasn't that the temperature felt cold in reality, but the aura that he exuded was that kept strangers away.

To be honest, she didn't know whether the person in front of her today would be like the scavengers she had met before, but she prayed for the best.

Because she didn't want any other mistakes to happen outside of the plan.

Sheli held the knife tighter in his hand, and at the same time he rubbed the ring in his hand.

"Behind the wall three hundred steps away, are those people your companions? I have discovered that you have been following me for three days. During these three days, you used the same reason to find five lone travelers like me.

Two of them were women, who were directly killed by you and your companions.

As for the remaining three men, you used the same method, paralyzing them with your body and voice, and then sent a signal to call your companions, and then killed them as well. "

Sheli's tone was very calm, so calm as if what happened inside had nothing to do with him.

At this moment, Marta's pretty and charming face was full of horror. She didn't know why the man in front of her would find out what they had done.

Obviously they were all operating at night, and because of the darkness, no one should be able to see them.

At this moment, Marta wanted to escape and open her mouth to shout for help.

However, a sudden gust of wind blew directly into her mouth, and all the words she wanted to say were poured back into her stomach.

Marta only heard the clang of the knife being drawn, and the next moment she felt the scene in front of her eyes blur.

Just when she thought she was dead and could finally leave this sad world.

Suddenly, three bloody heads appeared in front of her.

At this time, the three heads had different expressions on their faces, some were nervous, some were relaxed, and some were ferocious.

As if it was planned in advance, they were all making their own preparations for the battle, and the expressions on their faces were still as if they were about to take action.

But now they have turned into three headless corpses, and the people who killed them were so fast that they didn't even have time to change their facial expressions before they were already dead.

"You can leave now."

Sheli's words were still as cold as ever.

Seeing these three heads, Marta suddenly laughed for some reason because the man who brought her back to the world from despair was still so cold.

The smile on Marta's face at this moment was not at all false as before. This smile was the first time Sheli had seen such a beautiful smile since his mother.

"You can leave now."

Sheli still repeated the same words as before.

Marta did not leave, but directly moved a stone stool and sat next to Sheli.

"Hello, my name is Marta, this is the name my mother gave me, what is your name?"

Marta wiped the tears from her eyes and introduced herself to Sheli.

Sheli did not answer her, but his hand was no longer on the hilt of the knife, because he no longer felt any danger around him.

When Marta saw that Sheli ignored her, she did not feel discouraged, and then she said to herself:

"Since you are so cold, I will just call you ice cube."

"Ice Cube, why didn't you kill me after telling me so much? If it was as you said, should I die too?"

As Marta spoke, a look of worry appeared on her face.

Sheli frowned when he saw the sad look on her face, and then said coldly:

"Because you didn't have any murderous intent from beginning to end."

Sheli's sudden answer made Marta very excited, but she didn't understand Sheli's answer. Isn't the ice in front of her the kind of knight who punishes evil and eliminates evil?

Didn't he know that he was being controlled by those three beasts?

However, when Marta asked again, Sheli only said, "You can leave now."

Mata was afraid that Sheli would drive her away, so she immediately changed the subject:

"Ice cube, do you know that I have noticed you for a long time? When you first appeared here, you didn't even know the rules of the night here, and you just slept in the dark. At that time, I really thought you were a fool.

And later when I saw you not looking for the treasures left by the empire here, I felt like you were not from here.

Tell me, do you want to leave here?

However, as soon as Marta finished her words, she felt a chill on her neck, and a cold butcher knife appeared on her neck.

It was as if the knife was supposed to be here.

Later, Marta also understood what the murderous intent that Sheli mentioned meant. It was a feeling that made people feel like they were about to fall into a cold hell.

Cold sweat broke out on her back, and the next moment Marta was scared to tears by Sheli.

Seeing Marta crying, the butcher knife returned to its sheath.

Then Sheli picked up a burning piece of firewood from the campfire and left.

Looking at Sheli's back as he left without hesitation, it seemed as if he was saying to Marta silently, if you don't leave, then I will leave.

"Hey, dead ice cube, where are you going? Don't leave."

Sheli ignored Marta's words and stepped directly into the darkness.

The rules of darkness were so strict that when the range of his fire left the range of the campfire, Sheli completely disappeared from Marta's sight.

The wind still howled through the ruined city, and the wailing sound sounded like a cruel mockery to Marta.
