Chapter 37: True Purpose

A large, ultra-long-range telescope pokes out of the cockpit of the empty fish airship. At this moment, the airship of the Baierrod family was suspended in the air at an altitude of thousands of meters, looking down on the entire Falling Silver City.

A black-and-white imager hangs above the long conference table, on which images from the telescope are projected.

Gathered around the table were still the rulers of the House of Barrod, with Patriarch Prut sitting at the head and Jared standing behind him.

"Congratulations to all of you who have withstood the test of our Lord and become a member of the great Council of Cyborgs." Prut excitedly raised the wine glass in his hand, the scarlet liquid emitting a strong smell of blood. The clansmen present also raised their wine glasses and drank it all, and the look of enjoyment was all reminiscent of the sweetness of blood.

"As we all know, the great Cyborg Council is controlled by the Big Four, and under the Lord of Eternal Life, our heir, Raymond, has been rewarded and cultivated by my Lord. This attack on Falling Silver City is a test for Raymond by our lord. ”

"Falling Silver City, an insignificant city. Why does my Lord value it so much? One of the clansmen asked respectfully, his skin pale and bloodless, and his scarlet eyes devoid of pupils. The wound on the neck that was bitten by Prut has not yet healed, and it is extremely hideous.

"My lord's name is Eternal Life, the supreme commander of the undead, and he has nearly a quarter of the power of the Cyborg Council." Prut stood up, his old face actually regained a little youth after the change, his loose skin became tight, and even his body was quite straight, "The secret agents planted in the Republic by the Council learned that this seemingly inconspicuous city is the most secret prison for felons in the Republic, and although the standing garrison is completely equipped according to a medium-sized city, in the event of a crisis, it can get support from the military department and the Knights in the shortest possible time. Moreover, this prison has the most powerful security facilities in the Republic. ”

"Our target is the felony in this prison -- Madam Mary Shelley. She is the founder of our race, holding the secret of immortality and the core technology of biological fusion. Captured during a raid by the Republic a hundred years ago, he has been secretly held by the Republic. It was only recently that my lord learned of the location of her detention. It just so happened that Raymond grew up at this time, was favored by our Lord, and provided a large amount of materials and technology, which led to the current situation. ”

"Our purpose is very simple, to contain the combat forces from the military department and the Knights, and the rescue work, Raymond will do it himself."

Prut looked at the black and white screen, and could clearly see that the three forces in Luoyin City pounced on the zombie cemetery, and Prut laughed: "The zombie cemetery is just a small trick, and there are more exciting ones to leave for the next reinforcements." ”

Alan sat in the troop carrier, his face full of worry, he really couldn't figure out what Raymond was attacking Silver City with such fanfare. Along the way, under the leadership of Redbeard, the commando team advanced at an unusually fast pace. Zombies infected with corpse poison have appeared along the road, but they are powerless in the face of heavily armed commandos.

As he got closer and closer to the zombie graveyard, Allen's worries became heavier and heavier, and he suddenly looked at Harley on the side and asked, "How many defenders will be left in the Silver City in this operation?" ”

Harley was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "The specific number is not clear, but it shouldn't be too much, Benson is facing the largest zombie cemetery, so the number of people left will definitely not be large, but there will be some reformers who will spontaneously take on the task of defending the city." ”

"In other words, the current defense of Luoyin City will be very weak?"

"What are you worried about?" Alexia opened her mouth and asked, "Turning the tiger away from the mountain?" But how did these zombies get into the city? Captain Benson has strengthened his defenses these days, and there can be no omission. ”

Alan nodded, and then it also occurred to him that the main purpose of zombies taking over the city was still food, but for Raymond, having the resources to transform was the most important thing. What he needs is a living human to transform into a Blood Corpse Beast.

Harley saw that Alan was still frowning, and then continued to explain: "Captain Benson has never dared to be careless about the defense force of Falling Silver City, and most of the defenders he arranged are elite, Benson knows the power of high-level zombies, so he specially applied for a detector specifically for high-level zombies many years ago to ensure that the city is foolproof. ”

Alan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly grabbed Hallie's shoulder and asked, "You mean, the detector at the city gate is not an ordinary model, but can specifically detect high-level zombies?" ”

"That's right, even high-level zombies are good at hiding the characteristics of viruses, but the sensitivity of the detector is very high, and it can completely pull out high-level zombies."

Allen's face turned pale, and then he whispered in Alexia's ear, "That detector doesn't work for me." If someone is infected with the prototype variant, it will not be detected at all. ”

"What do you mean......" Alexia's eyes widened suddenly, "The wanderer was attacked by zombies some time ago and fled back with a dozen people?" Are you worried that they have been infected? ”

"Just like the mutant knight Buckley before them, they are the latest zombie breed and are completely unregistered!"

"But this doesn't make sense, what are these zombies infiltrating Luoyin City for?" Alexia asked, puzzled, "An empty city?" Civilians have been turned underground, and most of these mercenaries have remained on the surface to prepare for the battle because their injuries have not healed. ”

Hallie suddenly interjected, "Maybe they're looking for something?" ”

"Looking for something?" Alan thought for a moment, then turned to Hallie, "We'll have to find Head Benson and check the information." ”

"So what about here?" Hallie asked.

"You continue to lead the team, whether our guess is right or not, the zombie graveyard must be destroyed. Alexia and I went to find Benson. With that, Alan and Alexia jumped out of the troop carrier, while Harley freed them up with a black scorpion's steam-powered car.

"Be careful, if there is an abnormality, don't be reckless, and discuss it with Redbeard." After Allen blessed Harley a few words, he got into the carriage, and Alexia drove the steam-powered car in the direction of the team led by Captain Benson.

When they caught up with the assault team at full speed, it was less than a kilometer away from the target zombie graveyard, Alexia stepped on the accelerator and rushed to the front of the command car, which caused the entire convoy to stop, and the command car in front honked its horn, but Alexia suddenly leaned out of the window, and then said to Benson in the cab: "Uncle, remember me?" ”

Benson was suddenly stunned, he was annoyed that the guy who came from didn't know the severity and was actually blocking his way at this time. But as soon as he heard the other party's voice, he knew the general situation, and Benson jumped out of the command car, and then said to the adjutant: "Continue to move forward according to the original plan, I will catch up later." ”

Seeing Benson jump out of the car, Alexia moves the steam-powered car out of the way and lets the convoy pass.

"You really don't know whether you live or die, do you know that the Knights have issued a wanted warrant?" Benson whispered angrily.

"Uncle, now is not the time to dwell on this, this is Alan, he has something that needs your confirmation."

Alan said and walked out of the carriage: "Hello, Captain Benson. I'd like to confirm one thing, is there anything in Falling Silver City that would arouse the interest of zombies? ”

When Benson heard this, his face turned a little unnatural, and he asked in a cold voice, "Why do you ask that?" ”

"Because of the layout of all this, from the evolution of zombies to the appearance of zombie graveyards and the outbreak of corpse poison. I suspect it's probably to take the things in the Silver City. And I suspect that the members of the Wanderer Regiment who escaped from the zombie trap have all been infected. ”

"Infection? That's impossible! "My subordinates have conducted a comprehensive inspection of them, even if they belong to high-level zombies, they will be found out." ”

"Because they may be infected with a new type of virus, even the detector doesn't work. So you don't have to tell us the specifics, but if there is something important in Falling Silver City, I suggest that you immediately detach some of your forces and return to the town and control the wanderers, and I can help you test them for infection. ”

"You?" Head Benson asked suspiciously.

"That's right!"

Benson hesitated for a moment and then took off his matching gun and handed it to Alexia: "Okay, you two go first, take my matching gun, and go directly to the deputy commander of the regimental headquarters, and ask him to cooperate with you to find those wanderers, I will immediately take my subordinates back to Silver City after completing this mission, and the zombie graveyard must be removed, no matter what the other party's conspiracy is." ”

Alan and Alexia hurriedly got into the steam-powered car and hurried towards the Silver City, while Captain Benson pulled out a communicator from his arms.

The communicator is boxy and does not have a screen, but instead pushes the metal lid open to reveal the metal keyboard. After entering a lengthy password, Benson whispered into the communicator, "The location of the White Skull has been revealed, request for support!" Repeat, the location of the White Skull has been revealed, call for backup! ”

The steam-powered car roared into the city and headed straight for the regimental headquarters, Alexia jumped out of the car, pulled out Bensen's gun, and fired into the sky.

A lean middle-aged man rushed out of the conference room, and he saw Alexia's matching gun at a glance.

"Captain Benson's order to immediately take control of the Wanderer Regiment members who have been besieged by zombies."

The deputy commander commanded, he knew that this gun was Benson's favorite thing, and this time the matter must be very serious, he shouted loudly to gather the soldiers left behind, and quickly rushed towards the place where the wanderer group members were placed.
