Chapter 12: The Black Army (2)

When I went online again, the first thing that caught my eye was Elise's petite face with angry eyes. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

I don't know when she came back, but she looks visibly angry.

"Who allows you, down! Line! Target! She jumped up like a manic she-baboon.

"Uh......" I replied helplessly, "but you slammed the door and went out without saying a word." ”

"Does that mean you can go offline?! Do you want to be hammered? She removed the giant tongs from her back and held them in her hands.

I don't think my ten lives are enough for her to smash it.

Her majesty really comes from this weapon.

Power is terrible.

As countless thoughts flashed through my mind, I began to apologize.

"Okay, no, I'm going to get down to business, even though I'm angry right now." She put the pliers back on her back and added, "I'm really angry." ”

"But."

She figured out a small, translucent cube and displayed it in front of my eyes.

"The situation is a bit urgent right now, and I need you to make a choice right away."

She held the cube in front of my eyes.

An option box appeared in front of my eyes.

Do you accept gifts from Elise Heinrich? ’

What if you don't accept it? This thought popped into me.

And, what the hell is this, it looks familiar.

It seems to be ...... What did she use that day when she placed the matrix at the entrance of the cave?

"Take this essentia cube and you'll be a mechanic from now on." She looked at me.

This represents...... She's going to give me a new major career?

I reached out and took the mysterious-looking block.

Autumn Frost Moon was very unhappy.

Because as soon as he went online, he saw a system announcement that was enough to shock his prestige.

[ID: Edge Night became the first player to own two main classes, rewarding the passive skill "Dexterous Refactoring"]

At present, there are only a handful of players in the entire game who even have a major class, but he already has a double class?

Qiu Shuangyue couldn't believe her eyes and ears.

Will such a person be able to get in touch with him?

Or rather...... Pull him into the Halo Guild?

"Hey." He sighed heavily.

The way of communication in this game is too primitive and too closed.

However, there will always be a time when civilization will be civilized.

Autumn Frost Moon has always believed that 'evolution' is the essence of this game.

Otherwise, their quest will be meaningless.

"Dexterous Refactoring...... 50% increased cast speed of your mechanical skills? "I looked at the skills given by the system and couldn't help but be taken aback.

"Looks like you're getting something nice." Elise looked at me and smiled. She was clearly not surprised by the outcome.

"So...... Let's go. Elise opened the closed door.

"Start what?" I held the cube in my hand, and I was a little stunned.

She looked at me and smiled.

"Of course, to train you to become a mechanic in the shortest possible time."

"You're hurting my doll! I'll never lend you to play again! The little girl snatched the doll from the boy next to her.

"Humph! Stingy, girls are like this, rag dolls are lifeless, how can it hurt. The boy simply ignored him, and the two of them sulked separately.

It was a horse-drawn carriage galloping through the wilderness, and behind it, was a convoy.

Judging by the load of goods on these trucks, if they were not trucks, they would have to be moved.

"Dad, Dad, how long will it be before we get to Jianliang?" The little girl playing with the rag doll asked the coachman in the front seat.

The coachman smiled, "It's coming, it's a few miles away at most." ”

With that, he looked back at the huge convoy behind him.

They came from the farthest town from Jianliang, the Midlands, one of the few areas that had not been affected by the plague.

And their intention this time is also obvious, trade.

The convoy trade seems to be the only means of communication in this wilderness region.

The girl was playing with her doll, and the boy was looking out the window idly.

Suddenly, something caught his attention.

At the rear of the convoy, something seemed to be stirring.

Yes, it was a black fog, and they kept squirming towards the convoy.

Although the word wriggling does not describe their high speed at all, their movements are indeed wriggling without error.

"What the hell is that......" The boy stared closely at the rushing black fog until it overwhelmingly engulfed the first car at the rear of the convoy.

Although the Secret Plains were located on the edge of this wasteland, the information was not so closed that even the black fog did not know it.

In fact, before the black fog engulfed over, someone had already noticed it.

But there is nothing they can do at all, and with their tiny speed, they are completely unable to compete with it.

"Baby, sit tight." The middle-aged man driving in front of him said in a deep voice.

The two children didn't understand what was happening, but subconsciously grabbed the handle.

As the team leader accelerated, the team behind seemed to notice something and turned on the Mercedes-Benz mode with full firepower.

The general speed of the cart slowed down by a minute with each time the black fog engulfed it, but despite this, half of the convoy was buried in the merciless sweep.

But they don't just die, they become 'them' and rise from the dead.

The leader didn't know if what he was doing was right, and if he led the convoy to Jianliang, but Jianliang didn't have the means to deal with these plagues, it would only lead to the destruction of another innocent town.

But if they had the means to resist the black fog, then they could both be saved.

Hopefully, it's better to be so. The team leader thought to himself.

After all, no matter what, he couldn't watch his people and his relatives die in the wilderness in vain.

He didn't have that kind of great love.

This great love of giving up the lives of one's own people to save others.

This may also be a tram problem.

Or rather, a gamble.

A gamble that puts the lives of thousands of people on the line of a single thought.

Xie Yan missed the traveler who didn't say goodbye.

Of course, definitely not because the man stole a bundle of rope ladders.

"Ah...... It's the ninth day of the month, and it looks like it's going to be another fierce battle tonight. Xie Yan climbed the tower, moved his muscles and bones, and sighed.

Every morning, Xie Yan is used to climbing high and looking into the distance.

He looked out at the distant land, the yellow and black horizon and the billowing red dust reminded him of his uninhibited youth.

When he was young, he had a well-known big voice and good teeth.

So he settled down and shouted.

"Enemy Attack-!!!!!"

The shouts were loud and penetrating.

The townsfolk woke up, they got dressed, packed their belongings, and closed their gates.

The guards woke up, dressed up, stocked up on fuel, and climbed the city walls.

The convoy heard, and their ranks, half sea, half flames.

Xie Yan pulled out the saber at his waist and hung it at his side.

He watched silently as the horses galloped ahead.

1000 meters

800 meters

600 m ......

Getting closer, getting closer.

Xie Yan waved his saber, which was the instruction of the order.

"All the infantry, give me the city gate, and no one is allowed to enter! Neither can the dead! ”

"All archers, open your bows and prepare to release your arrows!"

"All sappers, oil drums ready!"

"Yes!" Not a single person questioned his orders.

It's not power, it's trust.

Xie Yan knew that they were here to ask for help.

But he also understood that if he helped them because of compassion, it would only lead to their common destruction.

The team leader made a bet that Xie had a solution to the situation, and he was right.

But what he didn't expect was that Xie Yan's method was to solve them with the plague.

He was not surprised when the leader's chest was pierced by the first arrow with fire and brimstone.

In fact, when he heard the 'enemy attack', he had already guessed everything that would happen next.

It's a tram problem.

It's just that the team leader thinks he's the one who pulls the rod, but in fact, he's just the one tied to the rails.

The brimstone-coated curtain of blazing arrows was like a daytime firework, dyeing the yellow and black earth with a layer of starlight.

As the commander, Xie Yan's heart was numb, and his eyes were fixed on the convoy full of plague and chaos in the fields outside the city. All he could do was keep giving orders to attack, trying to bring the army of death to a halt.

400 m ......

200……

150……

"Kill the gates!" Xie Yan yelled, hoarse.

He understood that the general defensive position could no longer stop this menacing army.

After all, this convoy full of death is no longer the one it was at the beginning.

Now this convoy, from the leader, to the passengers, and even the horses.

It's all completely dead.

A carrion corpse with a sharp arrow with embers stuck in its chest fell from the car, then slammed into the gate, crashing into a pool of stagnant water.

The expression on its face was not distorted like the other carrions.

Its expression is unwilling.

Xie Yan waved his sword and bowed silently.
