Chapter 43: The City of the Last Days
"Where's the beauty?"
Chris ran slower and slower, only to find that Liu Wei beside him did not know where to go.
No one answered, and in the scorching desert, Chris only felt a chill coming from his back!
With an evil smile, Li Le slowly raised the butcher knife!
"Tentacle Hunter!"
A shout came from behind him, and Li Le turned around suddenly, just as he saw Ling Yi's figure slowly appearing behind the black scorpion!
"Heh......"
With a sneer, Li Le hurriedly put away the short knife.
At this time, Ling Yi didn't know what the effect of the ghost card he was using was, but seeing that the Lord of the Dunes was about to catch up with Chris, Ling Yi could only be a dead horse and a live horse doctor and throw out one casually!
Under the red sun, the blue ghost card burned violently, and at the same time, the earth began to tremble, and countless vines broke through the ground!
Starting from Ling Yi's feet, the black-purple vines burrowed out of the sand and rushed straight towards the black scorpion!
"The effect is different from 'Chu Wei'...... It seems that different types of ghost cards also have different effects, and not all of them are simple transformations. β
Looking at the purple floshing vines around him, Ling was overjoyed, as if he had discovered a new continent in the world of the script.
Ling Yi checked the ghost card in his heart, and in addition to the blue ghost card "Tentacle Hunter" that was playing an active role, he still had a purple ghost card "Gardener" and a white ghost card "Panic Maker".
"It's the same blue ghost card, but the effects of 'Tentacle Hunter' and 'Chu Wei' are very different, that is to say, the color of the card does not represent the type ......"
Recalling the white ghost card "Rule Breaking" used by the little girl, Ling Yi seemed to understand the mystery of this.
"Although 'rule breaking' sounds good, it doesn't cause direct damage to the enemy, and the little girl's use of the ghost card only made the lights out earlier...... In terms of effect alone, 'Rule Breaking' is more than one grade worse than 'Chu Wei''s resurrection and transformation ability. β
Seeing that the black giant scorpion was already trapped in the encirclement of the purple flocculent vines, Ling Yi finally didn't need to continue to chase after him.
"Could it be that the color of the ghost card represents the grade?"
The more Ling Yi thought about it, the more reliable he felt, last night when the system issued rewards, it was indeed in the order of purple, blue, and white, if the blue ghost card can only be regarded as the intermediate quality of the ghost card, then how strong is the purple ghost card "gardener"? Ling Yi couldn't imagine it!
Slowly walking in front of the Lord of the Dunes who had been crawled all over his body with vines, Ling Yi smiled and said, "Look at the one that swelled you, and you still want to destroy us directly?"
At this time, the black scorpion, the six-legged and tail needles have been dragged into the ground by the vines, and the huge body has also been tied up by the five flowers, leaving only one head still struggling desperately!
"Brother, what kind of move are you, it's too powerful!
For the first time, Li Le felt that the monster in the script didn't seem to be so scary, and then he had the courage to observe the black scorpion back and forth.
"When you get back to the Manor of the Gods, you can learn it too. β
Ling Yi was in a good mood and climbed along the vines to the top of the black scorpion's head: "What about that girl?"
"It ate ......"
Li Le said and pretended to have a sad expression: "She ...... to delay time for us."
"I see. β
Holding his hands tightly in Lan Ye, Ling's eyes were full of hatred: "Give me death, miscellaneous!"
As the ghost martial arts submerged into the head of the black scorpion, a system prompt sounded in Ling Yi's mind: "Congratulations to the reincarnator for completing the side quest 'Master of the Dune', rewarding 2000 points, obtaining the white ghost card, scorpion essence." β
"It's always prompted to get points, but what are these points for?"
Li Le scratched his head and wondered, "Do we all get the same points?"
Ling Yi didn't plan to answer, but when he heard the question behind him, he spoke: "How many points do you get?"
"2500 points. Li Le thought for a while and added, "The previous man-eating flower quest got 2000, and this scorpion is 500. β
Hearing this, Ling Yi felt very speechless: he had only gained a total of 3,000 points by working the undead train before, but this kid had also mixed up to 2,500 points just by playing soy sauce to escape......
"Are there any other rewards besides points?"
"What do you mean?"
Li Le looked suspicious, not knowing what Ling Yi wanted to ask.
"You don't have to lie to me, Diplodocus has already told me just now, I'm just checking to see if the items we got are the same. β
Ling Yi didn't have to guess to know what Li Le was worried about, he was just afraid that he would snatch his treasure away.
"Okay...... In addition to the points, there is also a card, which is also obtained from the Cannibal Flower. β
Sighing, Li Le no longer hidden.
"What color ghost card?"
"No, brother...... Are you doing the census?"
"Say it quickly. β
"White. β
Nodding, Ling Yi left satisfied: "It seems that the design of this script is also reasonable, the rewards obtained by the killer are much higher than the participants, which also invisibly gives more people the motivation to challenge the hidden mission." β
"Brother, what did the diplodocus get...... What about you?"
Completely ignoring Li Le, who was in a hurry behind him, Ling Yi waved his hand and said, "Ask him to go!"
Sitting in the sand and resting for a while, Diplodocus finally dragged his bruised body back into the team.
After learning the news that Liu Wei was eaten by the black scorpion, Liang Long behaved very calmly, but there seemed to be a deep meaning in his eyes when he looked at Li Le, and Li Le hurriedly made an excuse to set off.
After cleaning up the zombies blocking the road, Ling Yi and the others finally entered the inside of the battle fortress under the leadership of Chris.
"Congratulations to the reincarnator for completing the main story quest and earning 500 points. β
"Open the main quest, dungeon, mission objective, kill zombie researcher Cole, with a time limit of 60 hours. β
The system prompt sound started again, and Liang Long smiled bitterly: "Sure enough, you guessed it, the main quest didn't end so simply." β
The internal structure of the Battle Fortress was quite perfect, but the level of technology was far less than Ling Yi had imagined.
The huge circular walls were made entirely of a mixture of steel and concrete, and the vast majority of the soldiers inside the fortress were armed with bows and arrows and scimitars, and with the exception of a few battlefield commanders with thermal weapons, all of them were cold weapon suits from the European Middle Ages: armor and spears.
Under Chris's recommendation, Ling Yi became acquainted with the supreme commander of this battle fortress, Elander.
"Hello, Time Traveler, thank you so much to hear that you destroyed those disgusting purple flowers in your garden. β
Eeland was a black man, and he was flanked by two soldiers in military uniforms with cross-body pistols standing beside him, looking very formidable.
During his conversation with Elander, Ling Yi knew that there were a total of 13 battle fortresses in this world, located in all corners of the world.
The battle fortress they are now in is called "Deman", and because it is the birthplace of the zombie virus, it is also the most dangerous of all the fortresses.
Bidding farewell to Elander, Ling Yi asked Chris again for clues about "Zombie Researcher Cole".
"My students and comrades-in-arms, they were all forgotten in the underground research institute in the center of the fortress. β
Thinking of his former protΓ©gΓ©, Chris shook his head and sighed: "The zombie virus broke out from the underground research institute, and Cole, as the initiator, may have become a monster in it a long time ago." β
"Those zombies stay at your feet all day, haven't you done anything about it all this time?"
"How could it not be...... It's just that there are a huge number of zombies inside, and with the current military level of the fortress, there is no way to completely eliminate them. β
After a moment's hesitation, Chris continued, "But the zombies on the first and second floors of the basement have almost been killed now, and only the third layer remains...... If you're willing to help, I'm sure the end of those zombies is near. β
Ling Yi was silent about this, he had already seen the number of soldiers in the battle fortress, and there were more than a hundred young men with combat ability, and he really couldn't stop the attack of the zombie army on the basis of no thermal weapons.
And once the entrance to the underground is opened, if you win, it's okay to say, once the battle is defeated, the zombies will pour out of the ground, and with the combat power of these soldiers, it is estimated that they will be eaten up in less than a day.
"Our main quest is called 'Dungeon', which should refer to the Underground Research Institute. β
Liang Long leaned close to Ling Yi's ear and whispered, "There are still two and a half days left, we can go in after we are fully prepared." β
Nodding in agreement with Liang Long's opinion, Ling Yi asked Chris to arrange a place for everyone to live first, and at the same time offer a free dinner.
"Of course no problem, guys!"
Chris happily agreed to Ling Yi's request, and then returned to his residence alone to begin his research on the purple catkins sample.
When the time came to the evening, as the "savior", Ling and the others were warmly entertained by Elander.
After drinking the vegetable soup, Ling Yi took the opportunity to ask, "Dear Commander Elander, if you can get me a few decent weapons, I believe that the efficiency of our clearing of the underground research institute will be greatly improved." β
Hearing this, Elander's facial muscles trembled visibly a few times, and then he whispered a few words to the old man in his ear, as if to come to a conclusion.
"Unfortunately, fellow travelers, Deman's armaments are not full...... As you can see, many fighters have not yet received a pistol of their own...... I regret that I have not been able to fulfill this request. β
Alander looked apologetic, and then said, "However, if you can really help Deman destroy the monsters underground, I will be happy to give you my weapon as a thank you." β
"Old Fox ......"
Liang Long sneered, he heard the whispers of Elander and the old man clearly, what kind of military supplies are insufficient, obviously afraid that a few of them have bad motives and take his position after possessing weapons.
"No problem!"
Ling Yi happily agreed: "Within three days, we will deal with the zombie group underground as promised." β
The corners of Liang Long's eyes jumped, and he always felt that this kid was thinking about some kind of trick.
Ling Yi drank the vegetable soup with a smile: "Another bowl!"
The old fox is cunning, but the hunter with a gun is even more cunning!
Biting down a piece of potato hard, Ling Yi said darkly: "Play this game with me, Lao Tzu will kill you." β
