Chapter 154: Elite Zombies!
"Yes." The same glint flashed in Green's eyes. "And if the young people in the town get into an argument with the traverser, it will inevitably affect the completion of the mission. It's not that they have enough strength to kill the traverser. After all, our mission is to escort, not kill. ”
Fan Kang pretended to ponder for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and asked.
"Listening to your tone, it seems that they think this is unreliable?"
"Yes, I'm currently trying to contact a few powerful traversers. As long as our side reaches a certain level of strength, we can stand on our own. Aren't they trying to use the elderly and children as bait? When the time comes, we might as well use them as bait! ”
Fan Kang looked at Green with a smirk.
"You seem to count me in? Are you so confident that you can let me join? ”
Green didn't answer the rhetorical question. "Don't you want to?"
"You have a point, and I have no reason to refuse. It's just that I'm wondering, why did you choose me? ”
"I don't want to deceive you either. In fact, I've heard for a long time that you and your partner killed 3 first-order traversers in just a few tens of seconds. Although you say that your companions don't like to travel together, she will not stay out of the important things related to the subsequent main quests. In other words, as long as you nod your head, we can immediately have two more powerful traversers on our side. Naturally, I'm going to try to convince you. ”
"Looks like you're hiding a lot, Green. I remember that we were together ever since. But you have the time and energy to inquire about me. You must have already recruited a group of people. ”
Green smiled.
"To tell you the truth, I triggered a special mission in the last world, which allowed me to enter the main world ahead of schedule. The people who happened to enter the world ahead of time, in addition to me, there were several others. So we met up and mingled with different teams of traversers. In this way, resources can be shared, and unexpected effects can be achieved at critical moments. ”
"If I'm not mistaken, you probably won't invite the old ghost, will you?"
"That's right." Green was blunt. "In fact, not only the old ghost, but also the leaders of the other two traverser teams, ours will not bother to win over. First, their strength is relatively strong and conceited. Second, their position is too high and too eye-catching. If we act with them, our plans will be exposed. ”
Fan Kang thought for a moment, and finally nodded. "Well, you have a point. As long as your plan is feasible, I am ready to help you with my companions. ”
"Then I wish us a happy cooperation?"
"In fact, we're already working together now."
Fan Kang and Green smiled when they met, and they felt a lot of sympathy for each other.
The old ghost moves quickly, and successfully makes a deal with the leaders of the other two traverser teams to jointly escort the townsfolk to Darke City.
Roughly calculated, the number of traversers in the three teams has reached 80 people, and if they are gathered together, it can be regarded as a large force. It's just that due to the existence of the main quest 1, among the 80 traversers, only 30 people are destined to survive.
Even, if the situation is more complicated, only half of the people who will survive in the end are expected.
Now that an agreement has been reached, the next thing to do is naturally to negotiate with the old mayor. Fortunately, this kind of thing is naturally arranged by the old ghost and others, and Fan Kang and Green are also happy to be leisurely.
This negotiation process is relatively long. After all, these townsfolk are no bolder than the traversers. The old mayor really didn't dare to hand over the lives of thousands of people in the town to a mere hundred or so powerful traversers.
So the old ghost and the others analyzed the situation of the town again, and the young man of the town could also be used as a combat power to induce, and finally made the old mayor make up his mind to move the town to Duck City.
According to the plan, the young people of the town will first lure away the nearby zombies, and then the old people and children will be escorted away by the traverser.
A long time ago, Fan Kang learned from Xia Li. Zombies are also a type of pretender left behind by Ozma, the first teacher of the ** division thousands of years ago. They are slow, but they are tenacious and, most terrifyingly, contagious.
Take ordinary plot characters as an example, even if they are bitten by a zombie, they will be zombies sane and become a new zombie.
Originally, there were not many zombies on Fury's continent, but a few years ago, a fire broke out in the primeval forest of Gran Forest, destroying the protective circle left by the elves living inside. Eventually, the elves mutated and turned into zombies.
As time goes on, the number of zombies increases. Fortunately, the surrounding major cities will regularly send exorcism teams to eliminate some zombies. Only then did the situation gradually come under control and did not cause a catastrophe.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard the exorcist team tried, they were never able to completely eradicate the zombies. Every time the encirclement and suppression ended, after three or five months, the huge zombie army grew again like a resurrection.
Zombies, if there are few of them, it's okay to say. But once you are surrounded by hordes of zombies, you will be tired to death if you don't get bitten to death!
Fortunately, zombies have a fatal heel. That is, poor eyesight, usually by sound. This undoubtedly made it very convenient for the townsfolk to lure the zombies away.
Although Fan Kang and Green didn't say it, they both knew in each other's hearts that it would be difficult for these young people who lured away the zombies to come back alive.
It is true that the people who went to Darke City to ask for help did not encounter too many zombies, but this was mostly done by the Freedom Realm - in order to get the news of Darke City for the sake of the traveler, and then learned that the defenders would not send people to pick up the townspeople, and finally forced the traveler to escort the townspeople to Darke City himself.
Now that the traverser has decided to escort the townspeople, the test of the free realm has begun. Fan Kang dared to say that there would inevitably be no fewer zombies ahead. Even now, the number of zombies around the town will skyrocket very quickly. How easy is it to get out of the way?
However, for Fan Kang, the fate of these people is obviously not within the scope of his relationship. What's more, with his ability, he is not qualified to worry.
In this way, a group of traversers escorted thousands of people and headed for Darke City.
Along the way, if there are few zombies, several different teams of traversers take turns to solve them. If there are a large number of them, let the young people of the small town come forward to lure the zombies first. The old mayor complained about this, but the traverser also replied with a straight face - how could we leave so easily if we wanted to protect the townspeople in front of us?
Even though the townsfolk didn't say it along the way, they couldn't help but feel a little resentful about the traverser in their hearts. But now, after all, he still needs to be escorted, and he can only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
Except for a riot caused by an amazing elite zombie with a red body, super fast movement, and high defense, the townspeople are also in danger.
It's just that a few townspeople were bitten by elite zombies, so the old ghost and others killed them mercilessly, so as not to infect more people and cause a catastrophe.
As the large army moved away from the town, the number of zombies began to increase gradually. In addition, there are many old people and children inside, and the speed of progress begins to slow down.
"John, these townsfolk are moving slower and slower, and I think it's almost time to carry out the plan." At the front of the team, the old ghost whispered to a big man beside him.
"Well, almost, then divide them into two groups, and then the accompanying traversers also divide into two groups. According to the plan, let them abandon the townsfolk later and come and join us. ”
"If it goes on like this, we'll divide again halfway through, and we'll almost reach Duck City."
"When the time comes, don't blame my brother for not showing mercy."
The old ghost John and the other person looked at each other, and they both squeezed out a very fake smile.
In this "layoff", in order to prevent the suspicion of the townspeople, the old, weak, sick and disabled were not directly laid off, but included some young people, the elderly and children.
The old mayor was originally strongly opposed to this. But listening to the old ghost and others, the division of the soldiers into two ways is conducive to avoiding the zombie group, and there are also many people who are dressed and accompanied by them, and they have no intention of abandoning them, so they finally dispelled the old mayor's concerns.
In the next period of time, the townspeople found that there were far fewer zombies on their way. Only Fan Kang and the others understood that those reduced zombies were probably lured away by the laid off townspeople. Moreover, that part of the accompanying traversers soon returned to the large army quietly.
Because zombies are particularly sensitive to sound, everyone, including children, barely makes any sound when resting and recuperating. Occasionally, when a child cries, he will be covered by an adult at the first time, and then reprimanded fiercely.
Although everyone had worries on their faces, it was not difficult for Fan Kang to see that there was hope and joy hidden in their eyes. As long as they continue like this, they will soon reach a safe area and will no longer have to be afraid.
They don't know that there is an even greater calamity ahead of them.
Almost halfway through the group's journey, the traversers encountered a menacing wave of zombies for the first time.
Most of these zombies are the elite zombies that they have encountered before. The whole body is red, the abdomen is eroded, and even the vertebrae can be clearly seen. Not only are they fast, but they also occasionally unleash a small skill. If it weren't for the fact that there were traversers in front of them, the average plot character would really have no problem with them.
Even if it is a traverser, the reason why it was able to repel elite zombies before was because of the large number of people. Rao was also broken through the defense line by elite zombies and bit several townspeople.
Even if it is a traverser, it is easy to say that it is easy to encounter a small number of elite zombies. But once there are more than 30 of them, it will be enough for the traversers to care about protecting the townspeople.
And this time, among the zombie army they encountered, there were no less than 50 elite zombies alone! (To be continued.) )
