Old Gods, Rapid-Fire Guns, and Prohibition

Chapter 186 [Hell in the Rain]

Winster.

It rained heavily.

It's hell in the rain.

There were howlings and groans of pain everywhere. The people who had been partying in the streets not long ago were now lying on the muddy ground. Some were vomiting and convulsing to the point of being unable to get up, while others were trying to run to a place without rain, but were immediately beaten back into the rain.

The people who took action, no, perhaps these things can no longer be called people.

They do have human shapes, but in key parts, such as the head and limbs, they do not look like humans at all.

Their heads have changed shape and become like marine creatures, with protruding cheekbones, forward-leaning mouths, sharp teeth protruding from their mouths, and even their tongues have become forked. Their limbs have become sticky and thin, covered with scaly patches that spread all the way to their torsos. Every finger and toe has become sharp, and tails have grown on their buttocks.

This is already a complete monster.

These monsters controlled the movements of the crowd, preventing them from escaping from the rain, or dragged people hiding in the houses out to get wet in the rain.

If anyone resists, they will tear them to pieces with their sharp teeth and claws.

It’s not that no one fought back. There were still many mafia members on the streets, as well as sheriffs who maintained order, and they all had guns in their hands.

However, the bullets seemed unable to cause enough damage to these monsters, and they were still able to kill the counterattackers despite the bullets.

For a moment, blood, flesh, body parts and rainwater scattered everywhere, accompanied by monster-like creatures roaming the streets.

No one could have imagined that Winster's carnival would turn out like this.

Vincent and Veron were leaning against the thick wall of a cafe at the moment. After Holiday Sunshine left, they originally wanted to gather people to deal with the remaining men of Victor.

As soon as they came out, they saw monsters crawling out of the sewer, and they started fighting as soon as they met.

The power of the Winster typewriter is still much greater than that of an ordinary pistol, but after all, it is not a special bullet, so it can only suppress it, but it is difficult to completely kill these monsters.

In the end, it was Velen and Vincent who took action and killed these things in close combat.

But because of the gunshots, more and more of these things were attracted.

After fighting for a while, many of their men had been killed.

They could only retreat to a cafe temporarily.

"The situation seems to be completely different from what we thought. What exactly are these monsters?"

Velen moved his arms gently. Those monsters were very strong. Although he was not injured in the battle just now, he still felt pain in his muscles and bones after being hit by a monster.

"It looks like a pollution incident. I wonder what the situation is like with Ethan."

Vincent glanced out the window. Such scenes always reminded him of bad memories. It seemed that something he had forgotten was slowly emerging in his mind.

"Hasn't the call been connected yet?"

The reason they retreated to this cafe was, on the one hand, that they realized they couldn't stay in the rain for a long time, and on the other hand, they discovered that there was a telephone in this cafe.

They are short of manpower now and have to find a way to mobilize everyone in the family.

The Pauletta family has been in charge of the Winster underground for some time. If all of them are mobilized, they will be a force that cannot be underestimated.

But the man in charge of making the call shook his head: "I can't get through. It seems... there's no signal."

Wei Lun was a little unconvinced, so he walked over, picked up the phone and called his own pub, but it turned out to be a busy tone.

He tried several different phone numbers, but all of them were busy. In this rain, the phone seemed to have stopped working.

At this moment, a hissing sound was heard outside again. It was the sound of the monsters using their forked tongues to resonate with the air.

here we go again……

------

On the sea cliffs of Winster University.

Ethan and the others had already arrived at the parking lot. The order in the school was relatively good. With El leading the way and other faculty and staff working together, they finally got everyone into the house.

Winster University is located on a sea cliff and usually stores a lot of supplies. If it is really isolated, it can last for several days.

Sophia initially held on to Ethan, but was later taken away by Ned. This was an extraordinary period, so Sophia did not make a fuss and insisted on following Ethan.

As soon as he got in the car, Ethan saw Anya, who was soaking wet, and couldn't help but ask, "Are you okay? Anya?"

"I'm fine, Master. Where are we going now?"

"Go find Velen and Vincent first. We need to gather our own people first."

Just as Ethan finished speaking, he heard a sudden loud clanging sound.

That sound came from the city of Winster, from the clock tower that had existed in Winster since its construction.

The clock tower was used to tell time in the past, but it gradually fell out of use as clocks became more common. Now it only has one function, which is to give warnings when something big happens in the city.

What happened in the city?
Klaus's spear had already broken through the rain.

He ran all the way down the mountain, but before he entered the city, Ethan heard some gunshots coming from the rain.

Anya also heard it, so she immediately moved towards the direction where the gunshot came from.

Soon they saw the cars of the Kingdom Security Bureau who had arrived earlier than them parked on the road. One of the cars had overturned, and the bodies of some unidentified creatures were lying on the ground.

The sound of gunfire still rang out in the rain.

"Be careful and stay close to me."

Ethan felt something was very wrong, and said something to Anya who was about to get out of the car. Then he took out two raincoats from the car, handed one to Anya, and put on the other himself.

Entering the heavy rain and heading towards the place where the gunfire was intensive, Ethan saw Marvin, Heisenberg, and the strange monster fighting with them.

There were a lot of these monsters, dozens of them, completely blocking the way.

The pistols of ordinary Kingdom Security Bureau members could not cause any harm to them at all, and the resistance mainly relied on Heisenberg and Marvin.

But a monster has already leaked out.

Fortunately, Ethan and Anya arrived. They each held a gun, leaned against each other, and started shooting forward.

Their bullets were all high-powered models modified by Living Flame, and coupled with their true name abilities, they were able to finally ease the situation.

As they pushed forward, even Marvin and Heisenberg could catch their breath.

Finally, when Joseph arrived with his men, the scene was finally cleaned up.
