Wu Qi forcefully pulled the three-foot-long knife out of the throat of the tank beast, bringing out a few drops of splashed blood. The armored beast's giant-like body knelt down on its knees, then slammed to the ground.

The vitality of the tank beast was quickly exhausted, and it finally became a complete dead corpse, and after Wu Qi sensed this, the nerves and muscles that had been tense finally slowly relaxed.

This one-on-two battle is really an extreme game, originally he either died or was defeated. But at the moment of danger, the energy level of the long knife suddenly increased significantly, and he had enough gravitational energy, which he could do his best to convey to the environment to control a large area of sand and sand.

Before the energy level of the long knife was not increased, he used the method of saving energy to divert the sand of the sand sea for his own use; With his previous practice, when he controlled the sand of the sand again, he felt like a natural divine power, omnipotent.

The armored beast didn't see through his ability until he died, which is the benefit of using the medium of sand and sand to use his ability.

"Whew!"

A long fox cry suddenly reached Wu Qi's ears, interrupting Wu Qi's "quick review" of the battle in his mind. As soon as Wu Qi turned around, he saw July standing 20 meters away from the wreckage of the burning investigation vehicle, raising his little head and wagging his tail to call him.

Yue Zhanfei, Guo Bobai, and Gao Yuan were lying beside Qiyue, all of whom were burned to varying degrees by the high temperature flames, and their combat uniforms and skin were burned black, looking like three humanoid black charcoals.

Wu Qi ran to the side of Qiyue and the three of them for the first time, he squatted down and measured their heartbeats and snorts one by one. His expression went from nervous to soothing, then nervous to soothing, and so on for three rounds.

Wu Qi finally settled down after measuring everyone's heartbeat and snort. They were all seriously injured, but he had enough energy left to save them all. After doing this most important thing, Wu Qi's gaze turned back to July.

July's little black pearl-like eyes blinked at it, revealing a cute expression that wanted to be rewarded. Wu Qi stretched out his left hand and gently stroked Qiyue's back, gently smoothing its hair. There were a few pieces of red hair on July's body that fell off, revealing wounds that had been scarred by the turbulent flow of energy, these wounds looked like they were left by the claws of wild beasts, and four or five deep cracks were scratched at a time, and the wounds were still recovering very slowly, which made Wu Qi feel distressed.

The high temperature flames did not pose a threat to July, but July carried the damage of the energy turbulence tearing his body, and entered and exited three times inside and outside the wreckage of the investigation vehicle burned by the flames, and all three of Guo Baibai, Yue Zhanfei, and Gao Yuan were taken out of the sea of fire, and they must have suffered a lot.

"July, well done."

Compared with relief, Wu Qi's heart was more sour. As soon as the atavistic black-scaled armor was lifted, Wu Qi's eyes were red, and a few sporadic tears of emotion swirled in his eyes.

Wu Qi rubbed July's furry little head into his arms, rubbed his chin against the top of July's head, and kissed July's forehead gently.

"Whew." July made a very soft sound, it was connected with Wu Qi's heart, and he felt the emotions surging in the owner's heart.

"Don't worry, when you open your eyes, it's a safe place." Wu Qi muttered to himself.

......

Two hours later.

The great Throne Ship sailed at a constant speed in a wasteland with no horizon in sight, and the wasteland was so calm that it seemed like everything was silent.

The orange sky shines brightly, casting light that fades into the color of the setting sun. On the deck of the Ark of the Throne, Krees sat on the chair of the boat and looked into the distance, while Xiao Kui and Pi Chunsheng were scattered on both sides of the deck to look in the other two directions.

Wu Qi sat in the center of the deck, and there were four field beds next to him, and Guo Baibai, Yue Zhanfei, Gao Yuan, and Qiyue were all lying on the beds. They slept soundly and their breathing stabilized.

"Hmm." Guo Baibai suddenly murmured in her sleep, and then her eyelids moved slightly and opened her eyes.

When Guo Baibai reopened his eyes, the first thing he saw was an orange sky. Her gaze stayed in the center of the sky dome with a few faint clouds, the air was quiet, and the shadows of a few black birds swept silently across the orange sky without making any sound.

"Is the world after death so quiet.......

"yes."

Wu Qi suddenly answered the phone, which surprised Guo Baibai, she turned her head and saw Wu Qi sitting very close to her, Wu Qi also turned his head, his eyes calmly met her gaze.

"Wu Qi, how can you ......?"

"I'm afraid you're too lonely, so I'm here together." The corners of Wu Qi's mouth rose slightly, his beautiful big eyes narrowed into two curved crescents, and he smiled gently.

Guo Baibai was stunned for a moment, staring at Wu Qi's smiling face in a daze, the micro-expressions on his face changed again and again, and finally he was helplessly relieved.

"Okay. I thought you'd live. ”

Wu Qi coldly reached out and grabbed Guo Baibai's delicate earlobe, and as soon as Guo Baibai was in pain, he blurted out a soft "oops".

"I'm kidding you around, let's get up and see, we're all alive and well." Wu Qi's words broke the "illusion", and his gentle smile immediately turned into a serious and calm expression.

"Hey, it hurts," Guo Baibai complained while holding Wu Qi's shoulder to help herself sit up, and then she also pinched Wu Qi's earlobe coldly, and pulled it with five points of strength.

Although it wasn't very painful, Wu Qi showed a feeling expression "very familiarly".

"It's all over now," Guo Baibai said angrily, "Also, you and I are so stupid, I will cooperate with you in acting." ”

"Hmph." Wu Qi didn't plan to make a win or lose on this matter, just perfunctory past.

Guo Baibai looked around and knew that they were on the throne boat. If nothing else, it's on the way back.

Yue Zhanfei and Gao Yuan hadn't woken up yet, and there were still black and red burn marks on their faces, Guo Baibai remembered that he was also lying in the blazing carriage, and hurriedly touched his face.

"Wu Qi, is there any disfigurement on my face?" Guo Baibai asked very concernedly.

"Don't worry, it's clean and beautiful." Wu Qi replied.

Two hours ago, Wu Qi injected all three of them with high-grade cell activants, and the burnt places on the skin of the three were all scabbed off, and the new skin was pink and tender. And Guo Baibai's skin is the fastest recovery among the three, and it just so happens that she has woken up after recovery.

After another half an hour, Yue Zhanfei and Gao Yuan woke up in turn. Yue Zhanfei had just woken up and was still in a state, and Wu Qi summoned all the team members to gather in the center of the deck to share the results of the investigation instead of him.

Wu Qi very seriously explained the entire battle to lead the enemy from beginning to end, naturally including the long march he found across the sand sea and numbered hundreds or thousands.

"After the battle, a total of 48 large plague species died in the battle to lead the enemy, and none of the plague species were transformed into corpse beasts after death. While this doesn't prove that the entire Plague Long Marching Army is not a corpse beast, at least the percentage of creatures infected by the corpse virus on the eastern side of the Sand Sea is not high. The source of the cadaveric virus should be the west of the Sand Sea, or more precisely, the northwest of the Sand Sea. ”

"The destination of this long march of the desert plague species is unknown, but only 48 of them are strong and attracted by my blood, and the rest of the weaker ones are unmoved by the bait. It shows that their entire long march itself has a clear goal, and there is a possibility that they will be 'called' by a certain third-order overlord to go and gather into an army. Wu Qi finished his investigation conclusion.

"Master, I have new information on my side as well," Krees said with a serious expression. He casually controlled a black mud box to rise on the deck, and when he opened the lid of the black mud box, all he hid was a frozen green vulture.

"Here's what we've captured. These clusters of green vultures will attack the corpses of the plague species, but they behave very strangely, not only not eating the corpses against their habits, but also pecking at the dead corpses a few times, infecting the corpses with the virus and flying back into the sky immediately, apparently knowing that the corpses will come back to life and will in turn harm them. ”

Krees continued: "This is not the first time that these green vultures have done such a thing, they seem to have a mission to spread the corpse virus, and they are the messengers of the boss!" ”

Wu Qi nodded thoughtfully, he took out a green vulture ice sculpture from the black mud box, placed the ice sculpture on the deck, and then used the revelation of the wilderness god to explore.

In just a dozen seconds, Wu Qi found out the detailed life information of this green vulture. It is still a living life, not a corpse beast, and there are no traces left by the "ability" in the life information and gene chain information, they can only speculate that this green vulture and its companions were ordered by the boss before their death, so they acted as messengers for the boss to spread the virus.

"This green vulture that only acts as the emissary of the boss seems to be small in number, but in fact, they play a role dozens or even hundreds of times their own number. As we all know, 'there is no remnant of life left in the wasteland', and the nature of the plague species is such that they will devour all the flesh that contains the virus, and eat everything that is alive and dead. ”

In other words, there are two ways for the Green Vulture to transform a dead corpse into a corpse beast to expand the spread of the corpse virus, one is that the corpse beast returns to its original population and infects the corpse virus to an entire population. The second is that this corpse beast is still reduced to food for other plague species after resurrection, and the corpse virus that fills its body will also infect all hunters who eat it. Wu Qi raised two fingers and said.

"Yes. A corpse transformed into a corpse beast can extend a very wide range of transmission networks, green vultures can fly for 9 to 10 hours a day, so that the range of infection that these boss's messengers can infect in a day is extremely terrifying, and the infection efficiency will increase over time. This is a plague! "Yue Zhan Feidao.
