Chapter 226 I’m here to save you
Milo's sense of crisis has not diminished.

Despite the enormous commotion caused by C, with its inexplicable force field nearly turning the canal upside down, Milo felt an even greater sense of crisis than before.

……

"It's not over yet, it's just provoking it."

Milo's expression began to turn somewhat unpleasant.

At this moment, there were no living corpses visible on the surface of the canal, but the sense of oppression was stronger than ever before.

Suddenly, Milo heard a series of clear splashes.

And from the broken bridge ahead came Investigator C's shout: "Watch out behind you!"

Milo turned and slashed.

They were going to cut off the head of the zombie that was trying to launch a sneak attack.

But when they turned around, they discovered that the small boat climbing the mountain was not carrying any living corpses.

Whoosh!
He immediately sheathed his sword.

The blade veered off course and nearly struck its opponent.

Because this guy is strict.

He only felt a slit being cut open in the rain curtain in front of him by a sharp blade, before it was filled with raindrops again, which startled him greatly.
"Damn! Don't get so worked up, bro!"

"What are you doing here? Are you tired of living?"

Milo looked at Yan, who was in a disheveled state, with a bewildered expression.

"I'm here to save you."

"You fart"

Emma kicked me down.

"That's more reasonable."

……

Yan, his hands supporting his knees, was panting heavily.

"Hey no, you have no idea how dangerous that was. Your old man was carrying his son and walking into the river. If it weren't for me..."

Before he could finish speaking, Milo grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up.
"Kang and Finn? How are they?!"

"Cough cough cough..." Yan coughed wildly, wiping the rain off his face and yelling, "They're fine, your crazy woman is guarding them, no one can get close to them, let go of them now!"

"You mean Emma?" Milo released Yan's hand.

Yan nodded, patted Milo on the shoulder, and said:

"Look how nervous you are, kid. Don't worry, Emma saved my life. I have to say, bro, I didn't understand why you were so accommodating to her before, but now I completely understand. You're wise."

Without Yan needing to say anything more, Milo could basically guess that the explosion on the riverbank just now must have been caused by Emma.

However, Milo was still on edge.

Because his whole family was near the Confession Pier, if he had been any less lucky, he might have encountered Kang or Emma, ​​who had turned into living corpses from the water and crawled up to him.

Fortunately, that devastating situation did not occur.

"Then why did you come here again? Are you crazy? Get back here right now, this ship is sinking."

Milo signaled Yan to run away quickly.

"Damn it, it was your crazy wife who sent me to find you, okay? This is the worst kind of thing ever, I've been seeing ghosts all day!"

Yan shook his head.

For some reason, seeing Milo made him feel more at ease. Even though the two of them were now standing on a slowly sinking ship, Yan was not flustered at all, and even felt safer than when he was on the shore.

"So what exactly went wrong? Why is everyone acting so strangely? And what's with those ghostly things crawling out of the water?"

“I can’t explain it to you in a short time.” Milo impatiently ripped off his tie and tied the handle of Boy’s knife tightly to his palm.

"Run if you don't want to die, there's something weird in this river." As soon as he said this, Yan immediately grabbed the cabin door and glanced warily at the water around him: "Don't scare me, those who just climbed ashore have all been blown to pieces by Emma."

“I’m not talking about those things.” Milo’s tone was not joking at all.

"Okay, you go ahead and get busy."

Yan patted Milo on the shoulder:

"Remember to come back alive, or I won't be able to face your father."

He jumped up and down twice before preparing to plunge into the river.

But suddenly, Yan seemed to remember something, and turned to Milo, saying:
"By the way, I just saw a guy wearing a black trench coat like you. He was yelling something about how it was afraid of the light, and then he rushed into the canal. Didn't you see him? I thought he was here to warn you."

"Light?" Milo frowned.

"I don't know, but that's exactly what he called it." Yan shrugged.

"Okay, I see."

Milo kicked Yan into the water and added, "Get away from this ship as fast as you can!"

"You don't need to tell me!"

Yan turned around and started swimming wildly.

As expected of someone who has won the swimming championship for several consecutive years, he reached the other side in less than twenty seconds and waved to Milo from there.

……

But Milo had no time to attend to Yan.

At that moment, his heart was beating extremely fast, faster than during any previous crisis.

Milo knew that his initial idea was to attract the hatred of the ancient beings at the bottom of the river, and now he had successfully attracted their hatred, otherwise he wouldn't have such a strong sense of crisis.

The man on the broken bridge did not make the Ancient One retreat as he had said; on the contrary, for some reason, the Ancient One was enraged.

Now, the only target for its anger is Milo.

"Light……"

Milo squinted and looked up at the rolling clouds in the sky.

The heavy rain shows no signs of abating since it started, and who knows how long it will last? It's unrealistic to expect the sun to shine after the rain stops.

At this moment, the shadows of the seven-person group appeared on the water's surface.

Milo has been fighting alone because he wants to lure all the undead to his side so that the group of seven can go into the water and find the Elder One's true form.

Anyway, these guys won't drown.

Now that they've returned, they must have located the Ancient Ones.

……

"Exactly where?"

Milo looked at Eric's shadow.

The latter pointed to a spot on the water surface a dozen meters upstream where Lao Luo's shadow was located—"right below Lao Luo."

"What...is it?" Milo knew this question was a bit obvious, but he still asked it anyway.

“It was an animal…” Eric gestured, then stopped what he was doing and shook his head helplessly. Describing the monster he had just seen in sign language was simply too difficult—

"Why don't you go down and take a look yourself?"

"It's not impossible."

Milo glanced at the only weapon he had left—the Boy's knife.

"Leave four people to watch the water and prevent those zombies from coming ashore. The rest of you follow me. Any carbon-based creature can be killed."
