Chapter 39: The Blood Knight
The mall is extremely expansive, with three levels of parking underground, a two-storey mall, and four floors above ground. The mall is topped by a 30-storey twin tower, which is a landmark building in Raven City.
At this time, the power supply of Raven City was miraculously able to continue to be maintained. In addition to the fact that the exterior wall of the mall was seriously damaged by Apache fire, it was found that the damage was not much when you entered the interior.
In this kind of top-level shopping mall, the most luxurious and expensive shops are spread out on the first floor, whether it is up or down, the rent price of the store is heaven and earth compared to the first floor.
Chanel and Prada stores are gone, Piaget and Jimmy Choo are in shambles, and brands like lV are unharmed. The bright lights are pleasant, and the scent that permeates the mall is relaxing.
If you don't look at the corpses everywhere......
"They weren't transformed into zombies." A Blood Knight Elite Servant flipped over a corpse with the barrel of a spear and examined it carefully, "They don't have any obvious injuries, but they haven't been transformed either. ”
The graceful Leila glanced at it, "Death has suddenly befallen their origin, and their souls have been extracted into energy. ”
"The living are dead. But the soulless living dead have no effect. Leonard walked over without looking back, "Hurry up." ”
The floor is littered with fallen luxuries and food. These dead survivors are clinging to what is most valuable in their hearts. Some were carrying guns and gold bars, others were holding boxes of pizza, and several women were carrying bags full of handbags and heels.
"Vulgar mortals." Wren said contemptuously. In the eyes of a powerful blood knight like him, only strength and immortality are worth pursuing, and all other needs are animal-like low-level.
But his subordinates don't think so. Watches and precious jewelry were scattered all over the floor, and the Blood Knight's servants were all in need of money, most of whom pretended to be casual and quietly picked up a piece or two of gold and silver jewelry and stuffed it into the gaps in their weapon belts and armor.
……
Although the locking effect on Xiao Yan has disappeared at this time. However, with the powerful life detector they carried with them, the Blood Knight and their servants were still able to roughly determine Xiao Yan's location and distance, and they were so dead that they were bitten in the back.
This guy also seems to be in a hurry, and he has set up a lot of traps with grenades along the way, and the blood knights have chased him in a hurry, and he has successfully ambushed him a few times. On one occasion, the cunning guy didn't even know where to get the high explosive and made a roadside bomb (IED, full name: Improvised Explosive Devices).
This terrifying bomb can even lift the turret of a heavy tank, and it is also very effective to ambush the infantry, killing two Blood Knights on the spot, and even the floor slab has collapsed 3 floors.
Powerful blood knights like Leonardo and Wren were unscathed, but they were also blown up.
Under the resentment, the two blood knights also made a brazen move. Wren's ice-based ability was so powerful that he froze all the way through. After the ice was frozen, Xiao Yan's bomb traps failed one after another, and he never lost his manpower again.
Seeing that this cunning prey was about to be surrounded, suddenly a crazy roar came.
"Beholder! Six o'clock direction! "The Blood Knight Hu Cong is also prepared enough for this kind of powerful zombie, and hurriedly shouted a warning after discovering it.
The terrifying massive boulder roared and struck a slow-moving hoplite, smashing him into a bloody flight.
"Get out of the way. I'm here to deal with this beast. Leonardo stepped forward, two pale blue flames surrounding his hands, and they were impressively enhanced by fire-based abilities.
The Blood Knight bent his knees, and his feet burst into flames. The fist wrapped in the heat and flames slammed into the right shoulder of the Eye Demon.
The flame-wrapped fist broke through the force field shield of the eye demon and smashed into the huge eyeball, and the advanced mutant suddenly let out a miserable scream, swinging his left claw and grabbing Leonardo.
The Blood Knight crouched down with agility, dodging the swinging claws, and grabbed the Eye Demon's legs with both hands, and suddenly a wave of heat rushed towards his face, and the Eye Demon burned like a torch from the bottom to the top.
But the vitality of the high-level mutant is not idle, and the Eye Demon flew up and kicked the Blood Knight in the chest after suffering from the pain. Leonardo hurriedly crossed his arms to block, but was still kicked out.
Ren Shi Shiran, who was watching the battle, stepped forward, and with every step he took, a piece of ice condensed on the ground. The extreme cold swept through the Eye Demon's body, and even the raging flames were extinguished. Another layer of ice and snow was formed on the charred body.
Wren stepped aside, condensed an ice crystal long sword in his hand, and slashed it away, and the Eye Demon immediately turned into a pile of pieces and fell to the ground.
"Wren!" Leonardo had lost face by being kicked away just now, and the Eye Demon who had hit him with residual blood was robbed by his teammates again, and he was already so angry that he was angry, and the red flames wrapped his whole body.
"It's just a mutant. Look at your excitement. Wren clapped his hands and looked at the Blood Knight in the flames with a mocking expression.
"Hand over the energy crystal that just dropped!" Leonardo gritted his teeth.
Wren held a blood-red crystal in his hand, which was what the contractor called a virus energy crystal.
A virus is a tiny, incomplete, submicroscopic particle that can replicate using the host cell system. Viruses do not have a cellular structure and cannot grow and replicate independently, but viruses can infect all living organisms with cells, proliferate, inherit and evolve, and thus have the most basic characteristics of life, but there is no accepted definition of it in human beings.
In a sense, viruses are also living organisms. The A-virus, which created zombies, is one of the best, unable to bring people back from the dead, and has evolved unprecedented species such as Eye Demons, Witches, Lickers, and Wyverns.
And the A virus energy crystals that Wren was holding in his hand were a ball of pure energy.
This kind of crystallization generated by high-level mutants is even wanted by a medical leader like Heydrich at any cost, and even offered the price of blue equipment, which can be imagined to be valuable to the Apocalypse Company.
"As expected, they're interested in it." Xiao Yan carefully observed the actions of these blood knights through the surveillance, "Look at the way they care about snatching...... Could it be that the Blood Knight's powerful abilities also rely on this thing to upgrade and maintain? ”
The attributes of the Blood Knight are too strong compared to Xiao Yan, except for the many attributes and abilities brought by the perception suppression are displayed as question marks, and the value of the intelligence item that can be viewed is as high as 50 points. And these 50 points may be due to the current level constraints of the plane space.
Judging from the scene, it was true, Leonardo stared at the crystal, and his eyes were about to fall out.
For the Blood Knights, the energy core of the high-level mutant is the origin of their rebirth, and the ability to be exerted and amplified is also inseparable from the equipment and potions made through the energy core.
This kind of valuable material is directly controlled by the Apocalypse Company, and the Blood Knights can only take advantage of the opportunity to get some benefits, and the majority still has to be handed over to the company.
The energy core of the eye demon in front of him is very likely to bring a strong vitality increase to himself, and for blood knights with spell abilities like them, the increase in vitality can make up for one of their major shortcomings, and their status within the Apocalypse Company can also be improved.
Not to mention anything else, as long as you are successfully promoted to another level, can't you suppress the disgusting "Ice Blade" Wren in front of you!
The subordinates of the two also faintly distanced themselves and guarded each other.
Wren and Leonardo are both first-class blood knights, and their strength is not much different, and their positions within the Apocalypse Company are also competing with each other. The two of them just glared at each other.
"Look over there!" At this embarrassing time, the rare elite Leila suddenly exclaimed, "Oh my God! Rare giant lickers! ”
This shout attracted everyone's attention, and it must be said that Layla had a little desire to ease the atmosphere.
Leonardo's excitement drooled at the sight of the giant licker wandering in the distance. Ignoring the image, he landed on all fours and pounced like a burning hound.
"This wild dog." Wren snorted and rushed up with the others.
Leonardo was known for his brutality and toughness within the company, and was dubbed "Flame Dog" by the higher-ups due to his brutal fighting style and unique appearance. Judging from the ability restraint, he also faintly pressed Wren's head.
Wren was also quite jealous of Leonardo's strength growth, and would never give in easily, so he transformed an ice spear and threw it over.
This giant licker was wandering around like a boss in a dungeon, but suddenly he was hit by such a spear, and he howled on the spot.
Leonardo was even more anxious when he saw it, and he ran over wildly regardless of it, but he didn't expect an ordinary licker to come out of the slanted stab. Although Leonardo was strong, he couldn't stabilize his body during the run, and when the two collided together, they turned into a rolling hoist, fell all the way into the safety exit next to him, and rolled down the corridor.
Wren was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered his men to gather fire and beat the giant licker.
But the advanced mutant is not a soft persimmon either, howling and rushing towards the crowd.
Rain of Fire pulled out Gustav and shot the licker's left hand away.
Leila wields a long whip, which also has countless metal serrations on it. A whip hit the licker's calf, and with a forceful pull, the licker's calf flew away with blood.
But the giant beast supported itself with its severed limbs and rushed to Wren with an overwhelming barrage.
The Ice Blood Knight is simply happy, isn't this sent to the door! In a flash of dexterity, he ducked to the licker's side and waved his hand at its head and threw a spear of ice. The giant licker's head pierced in response, and the brains and blood smeared the other side.
"Hahaha!" Wren took out the A virus crystal, it was really high-spirited, this time when he went out, just one piece of crystallized harvest was enough to make up for the cost, and the rest was a net profit.
Just as he was triumphant, a ball of fireball slammed in. Wren unleashed his mental power at any time and opened the ice armor. Although this fireball is very powerful, after hitting the ice armor, it only explodes the sky full of ice flowers and steam.
"Leonardo. What do you mean? Wren turned to look at the Flame Blood Knight, who had already gritted his teeth, his eyes full of cold killing intent.
"Put the licker's crystal...... Hand it over! ”
"If you want, take it yourself!" The Ice Blade Blood Knight looked at him disdainfully, "You mad dog who doesn't know whether to live or die. ”
The flames and ice collided together, and Leonardo directly swung his fist into the flames and rushed up, shattering the ice shield in front of Wren with one punch.
Leonardo's fire burned like a prairie fire, and the raging heat caused the surrounding elite to retreat one after another. Ice shield after shield shattered, flying debris catapulted into Wren's grim face.
The Ice Blood Knight is not in a hurry, constantly generating new ice shields to resist, and can also use ice spears to stab out of the gaps.
Although Leonardo's offensive was fierce, his defense was very weak, and he was injured by the ice spears that stabbed out one after another. Although the flames around him could effectively weaken the sharpness of the ice spear, it couldn't stand the two of them close at hand, and in a short time, they were covered in bruises.
"You stupid dog. Die here! Wren shouted in pleasure as he looked at the splatters of blood.
"It's you who is stupid." Leonardo laughed in the flames, like an otherworldly Shura. He opened the door wide and threw a punch.
"When you die, you still have a hard mouth, you open your frontal defense, and eat me with an ice gun." Wren roared and waved his hand again, just waiting for the ice spear to condense and pierce the fool in front of him.
"What's going on!" The ice spear did not pierce the opponent as expected, and even the ice shield of the protective body was only condensed by a third, and Wren watched the flames and fists rush straight in front of him, "No! ”
