554 Alienated Corpse
"What are you planning?"
Hearing what the bald man said, Lin Chi also suddenly became interested, continued to point a gun at the other party's head, and said, "I'm new here, and I don't know much about the situation here." β
"I see...... The new man...... with red lines on his face, suddenly showed a strange smile on his skeletal face: "There are still people who dare to come to the 'Hell Capital', are you dying?" β
"I thought it was a tourist attraction." Lin Chi held a gun and asked, "Are you a resident of this neighborhood?" β
"Yes......" The man with only the upper body left said and coughed up a mouthful of blood: "Lao Tzu...... I've always lived here, and I've wanted to rebel against the incineration for a long time, but I didn't expect to end up in this for the first time I participated in the uprising......"
"I see a red light in the sky." Lin Chi said expressionlessly.
"Yes, I didn't expect the 'wildfire' to appear, and our leader should have been completely extinguished." The bald man coughed incessantly, looking like he was about to die, and the light in his eyes became more and more dim: "Can you save me...... I need a corpse...... For everyone's sake...... we're friends."
"But I don't know you at all." Lin Chi shook his head.
"You want to hear from me...... Right? β
The bald man sighed weakly, his complexion began to turn gray, and he should have been no longer good: "I thought there would be a corpse here before crawling over, bring me a complete corpse, and I will tell you everything I know!" Hurry up, the cremators are coming soon......"
Before the words fell, a task box popped up in front of Lin Chi's eyes, obviously triggering the task:
Start Mission: Alienated Corpse.
The monster with only half of its body remains, begging you to bring him a complete corpse.
Please note that this task can be dangerous.
Rewards: ???
"What's the difference between this mission introduction and not saying it?" Lin Chi frowned slightly.
It seems that this monster that is about to die should be something like a ghoul, and it needs a corpse to replenish energy.
However, this guy is not a "good guy", and once he replenishes his energy, he may be attacked by the other party on his backhand.
So now...... Should I help him or not?
Lin Chi only thought for less than two seconds, then strode onto the blood-drenched street and began to look for what the other party called a "complete corpse".
What I need now is intelligence, and I don't have time to think about it so much. It's more reliable to save that monster first, and if the other party plans to resist, just blast his dog's head with mercury bullets......
With this thought in mind, Lin Chi soon found the relatively intact corpse of a patrol soldier on the side of the street, bent down to carry the corpse on his shoulder, and was about to turn around and return to the alley, but saw a dazzling fire from the far end of the west side of the street.
A group of "fat men" wearing heavy white protective suits, holding heavy flamethrowers in their arms, slowly walked from the west side of the street, burning the corpses and remains on the side of the street along the way.
- That's what the monster called the cremator?
Seeing that the soldiers sent by the incineration agency were cleaning up the corpses on both sides of the street, Lin Chi immediately rushed back to the alley with the corpses, threw the "food" on his shoulders to the halflings, and said with a frown: "Let's start?" β
"Thank you...... Thank you ......."
While thanking the halfling, he had quickly climbed onto the corpse, and thenβ
The bloody scene in Lin Chi's imagination did not appear, but the monster's body suddenly began to shrink, as if it had been absorbed by the corpse, and disappeared directly.
Then, the corpse of the patrol soldier, who had long lost his vital signs, came to life directly, opened his godless eyes and looked at Lin Chi, and thanked him gratefully:
"Thank you so much!"
"The Cremator is coming." Lin Chi reminded.
"Huh?"
The "alienated corpse demon" who manipulated the corpse of the patrol soldier seemed to have just regained his eyesight, and only then did he notice the fire on the street outside, and without saying a word, he immediately grabbed Lin Chi's arm and kept shaking, looking like he was about to kneel:
"My house is far from here, please let me take shelter in the apartment for a while! Just a little bit, please! β
- Is this thing so spineless?
Looking at the poor monster begging for himself, Lin Chi hadn't answered, and a hint of the completion of the task had already appeared in his sight:
Mission "Alienated Nechouls" has been completed!
You have received the quest reward: the normal minion "Alien Necromancer".
You have 30 Domination Points and 20 Prestige.
ββ¦β¦β
Seeing the content of the task reward, Lin Chi nodded decisively, led the alienated corpse demon possessed to the corpse of the patrolman, and sneakily slipped back to the apartment before the corpse burner burned here.
The task reward has been written very clearly, and this poor worm, who has no monster aura at all, has become his entourage.
Although this guy is not a special or heroic NPC, just a "consumable" similar to a mercenary, it is better to have a new follower than nothing. And, more importantly β it can provide the information you need.
Thinking of this, after turning around and closing the door, in order to avoid Zhen being frightened, Lin Chi led the bloodied "corpse" into his bedroom, closed the curtains and turned on the lamp, and then sat on the bed and looked at his new entourage:
The corpse of the corpse golem has a repair function, and the corpse of the patrol soldier with a large hole in the chest has been restored to its intact state. However, the gray complexion and godless eyes, as well as the tattered clothes stained with blood, still indicate the fact that the creature is a dead man.
"Ah, you have a question to ask, don't you......"
The corpse demon said in a flattering tone, intending to sit on the wooden chair next to him, but was stopped by Lin Chi:
"Just sit on the ground."
"Okay." The corpse demon immediately sat on the ground, looking respectful, and sent Lin Chi to kowtow.
In the face of this kind of guy who was too flattering, Lin Chi felt a strong distrust in his heart. Even if the other party has become his entourage, it is better not to stay for too long......
Thinking about the next countermeasures, Lin Chi asked, "According to your words, you are a local resident and participated in this uprising?" β
"Yes." The corpse demon immediately nodded: "Such a large-scale uprising is rare, we planned to take advantage of tonight to go to the headquarters of the incineration agency, but we didn't expect that glowing plague god to come out......"
"You can't deal with him?" Lin Chi raised his eyebrows.
"If it's the leader, you should be able to shoot down the 'wildfire'." The corpse demon hung his head in frustration: "Now the leader is also missing, I'm afraid he was killed by the incineration mechanism, and it's all over!" β
"Are you disgusted with the rule of the Incineration Mechanism?" Lin Chi asked.
Hearing this question, the corpse demon nodded without hesitation, and a trace of blood flashed in the corpse's godless eyes: "The incineration mechanism has sealed off the entire city, and no aborigines are allowed to leave. We can only follow their stupid rules here...... Lao Tzu's daughter died of cancer and had to keep a smile at the funeral...... What kind of law is this? β
As ridiculous as it sounded, Lin Chi knew that what the corpse demon said was actually a normal phenomenon in this city.
For some reason, the Incineration Agency is ruling the city with absurd regulations, causing the local residents to complain and even revolt in an attempt to revolt, but they are beaten to pieces.
"This place is weird......" he whispered.
