Chapter 1080: The Secret Door
Jonia shook her head and shook the muck off her head.
There had been a violent tremor in the ground that had almost collapsed the cave where the survivors were hiding.
"What's going on?" Other frightened survivors were in a commotion.
"Shut up! Do you want to lure those monsters over? ”
Jonia immediately scolded.
When they think of the horrors of those zombies, the survivors can only silence.
The veteran let out a long sigh where they couldn't see. Although he was barely able to suppress these people with his prestige and bravery in the previous battles, it was not an option to continue like this.
Aside from the rest, there is not enough food and water to survive.
This is the underground warehouse dug by the Ji'an Empire behind the 'Anthony's Sigh', which was originally intended to store war supplies, so that they can fight a long war of attrition to deal with the invasion of the orcs.
Originally, this place should be full of supplies, and it was precisely because of this thought that he chose this place as his temporary hiding place.
Unexpectedly, because of some greedy moths in the military department of the Ji'an Empire, as well as the recent various sudden accidents in human society, the members of the King's Council were too busy to take care of themselves, and naturally they did not have enough to provide supplies to the Ji'an Empire.
In addition, it has only been long since the invasion of the orcs, and they should not be able to start another large-scale war in a short period of time after leaving at least 100,000 corpses in the eastern plains, and the Ji'an Empire has also focused on the reconstruction of the affected areas in the country.
The consequence of such a series of reasons is naturally that not even a grain of wheat can be found in the entire war readiness warehouse...... But there are no eggs, and a lot of cold weapons have been found.
This made Jonia feel a little helpless.
As a veteran of many battles, he naturally fought against the undead, and the plague walking corpses among them also have the ability to turn those who are injured by him into walking corpses.
But at least there is a prerequisite for 'being hurt by it', and the monster encountered this time is much more terrifying and difficult to deal with.
Their mobility is far beyond that of ordinary walking corpses, and the level of a single crusade is between level five and fifteen, and if it is placed on other monsters, it means that the crowd tactics are still effective against them.
But for this kind of tree humanized zombies is completely different, even if the number of human beings is dominant at the beginning, but fighting, the number of monsters not only does not decrease, but gradually increases, on the contrary, the human army is fighting less and less, and many times, it is not the people who are injured by them who become walking corpses, but healthy people without warning suddenly begin to walk corpses, this unpredictability led to the appearance of a lot of walking corpses in the military formation, which soon disrupted the order of the army, and finally was defeated by the walking corpses in turn, and waited until they came to their senses, the human army has fallen to the point of complete defeat.
Based on the observation ability of a veteran of a hundred battles, Jonia naturally saw some clues.
First of all, without being injured, the only people who will suddenly mutate into walking corpses are those with relatively weak physiques; Then, when the monsters that had grown umbrella organs on their heads were killed, there would be a strange burst of yellow smoke, although the smoke was very faint and would soon disappear into the air, but Jonia still sensed that the dust that made up the yellow smoke was probably the culprit of the mutation out of thin air.
After this, the monster itself has a fairly strong sense of hearing, but its eyesight deteriorates somewhat, and it seems that its sense of smell has also increased, but this has not been tested, and is only a guess generated by Jonia when he observes the behavior of the other party.
In the food ...... Or when there is not enough prey, these monsters will move in large numbers, and it is because of this that the other party will gather and break through the strongest wall of 'Anthony's Sigh' in one fell swoop, which Joniah believes is likely to be a migratory habit.
But again, this is speculation, and there is no real evidence. But to survive on the battlefield, Jonia sometimes relies on his own instincts, so he is also ready to take a gamble this time. While most of the other survivors began to flee into the Ji'an Empire after being defeated by Anthony's Sigh, he chose to hide in the armament warehouse under Anthony's Sigh, and after most of the zombies had migrated, he bypassed the Rock Gate Fortress and sailed east to the Horngolat Empire.
Of course, the reason why he risked being discovered by the humanized zombies, and once discovered, he gambled on it, in addition to his confidence in his guesses and intuition, and because Wei Lun was injured and incapacitated - the only thing to be thankful for was that Wei Lun was not bitten by those monsters, but by a panicked aristocratic son who rode a rhino horned camel beast......
By the way, the noble kid was too flustered to control the rhinoceros camel beast, and in the end, he ran in the wrong direction and was thrown to the ground by the tree-human zombies, which became a good meal for them.
"Uncle Jonia......" Veron, who was lying on the ground with a few broken sacks, struggled to lift up, probably trying to sit up, "Actually, you don't have to worry about me...... Just run away on your own, if you're the only one...... I'm sure I'll be able to get away with ......."
"Don't say stupid things, your Uncle Jonia, I have fought so many battles in my life, and I have never done anything to leave my comrades." Jonia blew her beard and glared, but that tone made Velen feel extra warm in her heart.
At this time, I don't know who muttered in the dark, 'Who knows if this kid will become that kind of wooden monster', which suddenly made the atmosphere cold to the freezing point.
"Who said that? If you have a kind, stop chattering crookedly in the dark, and stand up for Lao Tzu! ”
Jonia furrowed his eyebrows and looked around, the evil aura between his eyebrows that came out of the sea of blood in the sword mountain made everyone who was swept by his gaze feel a chilling and creepy feeling.
In the end, naturally, no one dared to carry the black pot on their backs.
At this moment, the locked trapdoor panel of the armament warehouse was actually opened from the outside with a bang!
Everyone was startled, and they squinted at the only entrance to the armament warehouse on the ceiling.
"Yo, there are still living people, it seems that I am not too late to come." The visitor looked at the survivors inside and couldn't help but show a relieved look.
Jonia noticed that Veron, who was originally weak, showed a look of surprise and relaxation when he saw the other party.
It shouldn't be an enemy, so he thought to himself.
"Master Sivi." Velen struggled to sit up and bowed to the other party.
"You're hurt?" Sivi glanced at him, "Well, it's not too heavy." ”
No, no, no, no matter how you look at this, it's a serious injury, right?
Jonia looked at Xu Shenxing in surprise.
In addition to the magic of recovery, there are not many magic that can be applied to healing in this world, and its own technological level is similar to that of the Middle Ages, so if it is hit by a war horse and causes injuries such as internal bleeding, it is basically equivalent to no solution, and it may be better to close your eyes and wait for death.
Wei Lun's injury is not so serious, but it is not clear, at least a few ribs are broken, and the internal organs have also been impacted to a certain extent.
But the person who was called Master Xiwei by Wei Lun took out a bottle of red potion and handed it to Wei Lun, and Wei Lun did not hesitate to pull the cork on the bottle and poured it down.
Almost at a speed visible to the naked eye, Veron's pale face became rosy.
"Door, close it! What if you attract those wooden monsters! At this time, one of the survivors came back to his senses and said anxiously and loudly as he pointed to the still open trapdoor panel.
Several of the survivors ran together, as if trying to close the door together.
But Sivi raised his hand to stop them: "No need, there will be no monsters coming." ”
"Why do you say that! It's a joke on everyone's lives! The survivor retorted loudly.
"Just because my name is Sivi Edric."
"What do I call you...... Sivi Edric? That person was obviously used to being arrogant in the past, and subconsciously said a word to the bull, and then he reacted.
Sivi Edric, the hero of the human race, is the only strong person who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the president of the Seven Yao Mage Guild (in fact, he has long surpassed the other party, but the average person doesn't know this).
Even Jonia was stunned.
Although Veron always said that he knew the legendary hero, the youngest great magician in history, Sivi Edric, he always thought it was just a child's braggart performance, but he didn't expect that this child actually used that strange notebook to call this strong man who stood at the apex of mankind!
"You have done a very good job, I believe that you have been trained enough during this time, and you have also understood the preciousness of life," Xiwei looked at Veron and found that although this kid looked much weaker than when he first saw him, his eyes were no longer confused, but full of hope for the future: "How about it, do you want to come to my academy and become my student?" ”
Suddenly, the survivors showed envious looks.
Although the Adric Academy of Magic has a bad reputation among magicians for various reasons, for ordinary people, it is an irresistible temptation to be able to go to the Academy of Magic to learn magic!
Wei Lun subconsciously wanted to agree, but he looked back at Jonia, and then slowly shook his head: "Master Sivi, I hope to be able to be with Uncle Jonia. ”
His choice made those survivors feel sorry, and they felt that this kid didn't know what to do - the deans came here to invite you, but you refused the other party without giving any face, this is really too much, right?
I saw Jonia grit her teeth violently, then straighten her face and scold: "Who wants to be with a stinky boy like you?" I'm tired of you stinky little creature always following me! Now that there is a place that can take in a poor ghost like you, don't continue to drag Lao Tzu back, hurry up and get out! ”
"Uncle Jonia......
Of course, Veren was not sad because of the other party's words, he knew that the other party was actually using his own way to allow him to go to the Adric Academy and learn all kinds of magic that he had dreamed of.
But the more this is the case, the more Wei Lun has no way to let go of this kind veteran uncle.
"Wait a minute," Sivi gouged out his ear, "When did I say that this old man can't go to Edric with you?" Although the academy itself is off-limits to outsiders, we have quite a few caravans affiliated with the academy that are lacking some experienced veterans...... Uncle, are you going to help? ”
"Master Sivi ......" Veron looked surprised, and even Jonia showed a look of surprise.
The other survivors also wanted to make a shy face, but after being glanced at by Sivi, they shrank aside like a quail and stopped making trouble.
Now, this Resident Evil in another world has been lifted, and it's almost time to leave here.
Just as Sivi was thinking this, he noticed that something was wrong.
Because none of the people in this armament warehouse have studied magic, and the only one with magical literacy, Velon, is still kneeling, so they have not found out from beginning to end, in the depths of the armament warehouse, there is a hidden magic secret door.
When Sivi got closer, he realized that the concealment of this secret door was very high, and he was able to discover that it was purely because he was able to see the magic that was difficult for ordinary people to observe as a legendary archmage.
"Stand back."
Because some ancient magicians like to make some traps or something in it when they set up secret doors, so Xiwei thought about those people and gave them a word, and then he began to crack the secret door.
