Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 831 813. Urban wild dogs

"Is this a 'vacation' cat?"

Fluffy Ball shrank his head cautiously and asked Lan En again.

It now feels that what Lan En said before coming over may have been an irony, or maybe it was because its rhetorical skills were not very good and it didn't catch it?

But when the flannel ball looked at the expression on Lan En's side face, he immediately understood: Lan En didn't expect to encounter such a thing when he first came here.

"The situation is unknown." Flannel Ball watched helplessly as Lan En changed from a relaxed look to a frowning look. "Be vigilant first."

So Linbuqiu, who understood the change in his action style, jumped off the Qilin's back with his two short legs, and placed his little paws on the hilt of the kitten's steel sword behind him.

Qilin also raised his head and looked around.

Too many things burned in the sky in Athens, causing a thick layer of soot to float in the air. These impurities in the air will refract the sunlight into a yellowish, dim look.

It's almost impossible to tell whether it's dusk or early morning.

No more lively shouts can be heard in this great city, and debates can be seen everywhere among Athenian citizens who have received education in logic and debate.

When he realized that this was a plague, Lan En quickly turned his thinking to a biologist's perspective.

"We need to find someone who understands the situation and understands the current situation."

The Athenians were stunned.

Occasionally, a very small number of pedestrians hurried past on the usually bustling streets, but they just kept walking with their heads lowered, as if they were resisting even eye contact with others.

The flannel ball followed Lan En's steps and asked in a low voice.

"Then what happened here, nya?"

Lan En murmured.

It’s just that Lan En doesn’t know how far the city of Athens’ plan to deal with the plague has progressed.

It's as if even the look of your eyes can spread disease.

On the one hand, this is to reveal the direction of action to the flannel ball, and on the other hand, it is to help oneself sort out his thoughts.

Lann poked his head out from the alley of the fisherman's area next to Piraeus Port. The sanitary conditions here were already very poor due to the terrain.

Although the plague is terrifying, even in early civilizations like ancient Greece, there was a set of response procedures.

There were also crackling sounds of some kind of fuel burning scattered throughout the city.

All that was left was the vague, low-pitched screams of pain, the unconscious murmurings, and the wails from the sick people.

Fortunately, Lan En and Fengbuqiu are both experienced hunters who can hunt in the wild, so they can still maintain their good condition despite this kind of smell.

The various rancid smells mixed together were unbearable.

It has little idea of ​​a health crisis like the plague caused by the gathering of large numbers of people.

Fluffy Ball was born in the New World, where the total population of humans and Ellu cats does not exceed a few thousand people, and they are generally strong and healthy.

There is a layer of overflowing seawater in the fisherman's area. The seawater is already smelly and unpleasant, but now it is filled with vomit, excrement, and corpses that have become so rotten that they cannot be recognized.

Now it is even more silent.

"Plague, have you never seen this scene?" Lan En whispered, while his eyes wandered around, hoping to collect more information.

"Fortunately, I still have many acquaintances here."

Lan En frowned and walked on the rugged stone road with twists and turns in the fisherman's area.

He looked around, but unfortunately and realistically found that there seemed to be very few healthy people here.

Lan En patted the side of Qilin's face and sent it to the sea outside Piraeus Port.

The plague would have caused mass panic, not to mention that judging from the current situation, the plague has probably been tormenting the city of Athens for quite some time. If the shape of Kirin is allowed to take to the streets and trigger mass religious fanaticism, things will only become more and more chaotic.

Anyway, if Qilin acts alone, he can be recalled very quickly when needed.

Soon, under the Qilin's [flash of lightning], it disappeared above the waves of the Aegean Sea.

Fluffy Ball followed Lan En towards the avenue of Athens, hoping to meet more people on the avenue with a large flow of people and learn about the situation.

But this is still not optimistic.

They saw some people, but these people often scratched the walls with their hands and seemed unable to even take a step. They just lowered their heads and panted, or simply vomited and had diarrhea on the spot.

And most of these people were frantically tearing at the few clothes they had on them.

The one-piece linen short skirts were torn by them until they were shirtless, but they still looked very hot.

These symptoms seemed familiar to Lan En.

"Ouch!"

A few sudden dog barks sounded in this dead street.

The sound came from the alley next to the street, and seemed to be refracted back and forth through several corners, making it seem a bit far away.

But soon, the sound of paws making contact with the ground was heard.

Three medium-sized dogs, with messy hair and drooling, ran out of the alley and pounced on pedestrians on the avenue.

These are domestic dogs that have become urban wild dogs.

There are also many dog ​​owners in Athens, but under the current plague. The owners died, or were kicked out of the house as 'filth' by their owners, leaving these dogs unattended.

If there were just a few dogs in normal times, even the leftovers from the Athenian market would be enough to appease them.

But now, the plague has almost plunged Athens into a quagmire. These animals, which were originally dependent on society for survival, quickly returned to their wild nature after going crazy with hunger.

They found food in cities that was easier to hunt than in the wild - sick humans who had to go out.

After all, even if they are sick, they still have to find ways to make money. And his weak body happened to be unable to fight even a wild dog.

Lan En didn't even look over there, as if the three wild dogs with blood-red meat hanging from the corners of their mouths didn't exist.

And indeed it is.

Lan En didn't need to do anything, the flannel ball standing at his feet was already eager to try his new thing.

Berengar made two swords for it, one steel and one silver. The weight balls of both swords were printed with patterns of kitten paws.

One of the velvet balls is called [Thunder Cat Sword], and the other is called [Silver Cat Sword].

But now, Fluffy Ball pulled out the steel sword among the two swords smoothly.

Its claws were actually always resting on the hilt of the sword.

"Meow!"

The flannel ball turned over and jumped up.

When [Light Body Breathing Technique] is used, its height when standing is about the same as these wild dogs standing on all fours.

But this jump, combined with the light body technique, jumped directly into the sky above the wild dogs.

The Thunder Cat Sword slashed down just right.

The blade of Valyrian steel mixed with Kirin material sliced ​​into the back of the wild dog's neck as if it were nothing.
