Chapter 36: The Running Corpse
I didn't see Ah Xun until the end of class, Wendy was a little worried, why didn't she come all of a sudden?
"As we all know, when the ability reaches the advanced level, the awakening of talent begins, and at this time, everyone's learning direction begins to be more emphasized, and it is no longer possible to master all the primary abilities like beginners, because at the advanced stage, many abilities can only be performed by relying on talent. "In class, the teacher has already started teaching.
"We have categorized the Abilities according to a variety of different talents, such as Spirit, Life, Summoning, Energy, Body Enhancement, Transformation, Nature, Elementals, and so on. Abilities of various types will exert different combat effectiveness in different environments, because all kinds of abilities will be affected by various external conditions, including primary abilities, and what we are going to talk about today is the combat skills of the abilities. ”
I think Ah Xun will be very interested in this lesson, but unfortunately he didn't come today, Wendy feels that she must make a good record and tell him next time. It turns out that the Death Walker has mastered the abilities of four different realms: Spirit, Life, Nature, and Summoning, and it should be very powerful.
Ah Xun and Jonya arrive in a small town near the Turing Gobi, and the mission describes that something strange has happened in the town. Recently, there have been a series of accidental deaths, and these dead people, after a period of time, the corpses will actually get up and run away, just like crazy people!
Ah Xun thought it was the Death Walker again at first, but when he heard it, he found out that it was not like that, the corpse controlled by the Death Walker was very sluggish, and it was impossible for people to feel like they were going crazy. Moreover, the word running is used in the description, and the corpse controlled by the Deathwalker is so slow that it is impossible to run.
The purpose of this mission is to find and eradicate the root of the problem, and a mission like this type requires at least three or five mid-level abilities to be able to receive it, but because of the participation of the earthlings, the Abilities Association has divided all the earthlings mutants into high-level abilities after considering the combat effectiveness of the mechas, although some people's actual mental power is not up to the standard of the primary abilities.
Jonya successfully received a task that was obviously inconsistent with her current ability, and after considering the weirdness of the task, she felt the need to bring a life amulet, that is, Ah Xun. With Ah Xun's ability to predict in advance, coupled with her ability to shoot five birds and hypnotism in one shot, Jonya felt that this kind of task could be completed in minutes, and there was no need for the mecha to equip it.
Ah Xun was puzzled by this: "Why don't you equip the mecha?"
The town is unusually quiet, and many townspeople are staying at home due to the corpse fraud, and the town, which was originally deserted because of its remoteness, is even more uncared for. Jonya looked around, "How does that reflect my strong personal ability, and how can I be promoted in the face of adversity?"
Looking at the energetic Jonya, Ah Xun could only shake his head helplessly: "Do you also know that it is adversity? Now that the enemy is dark and I am clear, I don't know the strength of the other party at all, we are on a rampage like this, something will definitely happen." ”
"Rampage is a very good word, my sister just wants to startle the snake and make the other party jealous, so as not to be too difficult and meaningless. In a way of thinking that is difficult for ordinary people to understand, Jonia expresses her willingness to make the task more difficult.
"You see, this guy has to be sneaky against the villagers in the town, at least it shows that he is not very strong, and he can't even reach the junior ability, otherwise in this kind of remote town, he can be completely blatant, kill and escape afterwards, who can find him?"
I have to say that there is some truth in Joniya's analysis, and Ah Xun naturally thought of this: "He obviously has other purposes. ”
The two continued to walk around the town with great fanfare, of course, it was Jonya who made a big splash, and no matter how much Ah Xun tried to persuade her, she insisted that the other party's level was too low and that she wanted to make it more difficult for herself. So much so that the whole town went around twice without any gain, until I met an unexpected person.
"Why, Jennifer, are you here?" said Jonya, looking excited.
Seeing Ah Xun and Jonya, Jennifer was also surprised: "I came to collect the corpses, I heard that the people who have died here recently can run faster than the living, if you can control a few, it is as easy to use as a living summon!"
From the perspective of improving ability, these running corpses are indeed a powerful boost, but Ah Xun is more worried about other problems: "Jennifer, you really have to stop! ”
Passing Ah Xun's worried gaze, Jennifer replied without emotion: "Haven't we already talked?"
Jonya stuck out her tongue at Ah Xun, and turned to Jennifer and asked, "Don't pay attention to him, do you have any clues?" I think this guy who killed people but didn't dare to show his face must be a low-level anomaly!"
Jennifer arrived earlier than Ah Xun and Jonya, and the reason she didn't meet before was because she really found some clues: "I think it may have been done by ordinary people!"
"How is it possible, how can ordinary people do it?"
"I found the same substance in the homes of several deceased! Look at this. Jennifer pulled out an arrow that was very similar in shape to a syringe.
Borrowing this strange arrow, Ah Xun observed carefully: "This, is it something similar to a revival potion?"
"Someone in Nohir has developed this drug, too!" said this because Jonya felt that the item was not Earth-style.
While sniffing the remaining elixir, Ah Xun deduced: "This elixir should be a failed product, it may be that the medicinal properties are too strong, which directly led to the brain death of the user, but in a short period of time, the physical potential of the deceased has been improved, so there is a situation of defrauding the corpse!"
The running corpse and the unknown potion, the situation was obvious, and Jonya was angry: "It's too much for this kind of person to experiment on living people!"
Ah Xun remained calm: "If it's an experiment, I don't know how long his cycle is, and how long the previous deaths have been intervening?"
Regarding the information on the mission, Jonya still studied it carefully: "There is no obvious pattern, there are currently a total of seven shots, there are two shots a day in a row, and sometimes once every three or five days!"
"It's not going to be easy, we have no way of knowing when he's going to make his next move. Ah Xun shrugged his shoulders: "It hasn't been found out after more than ten days, it seems that this ordinary person is not simple." ”
As if the task had been completed, Jonya said proudly: "If it is so easy for the Nohir people's garrison to get it, and still use the Alien Association to send a mission? Sister is here for the difficulty, this task is completed but five hundred points! If the Nohir people take this task, it is equivalent to five thousand dragon scale coins!"
Unlike Jonya's ambition, Jennifer was just trying her luck: "Are we going to wait here?"
Looking at the getting dark, Ah Xun responded: "Wait, I think he will always make another shot before he succeeds." ”
Ah Xun's choice surprised Jonya very much, "I thought you would leave in a hurry and then go to find your little girlfriend." ”
Wendy's actual age is 199 years old, and after Jonia knew about the situation, she kept adding a small word to Wendy, I don't know if it meant age or something else.
Before Joniya, she also said that she would be big and let Wendy be small, which made Ah Xun remember it vividly: "Don't always use the word small, others are almost two hundred years old." ”
"But she's only been in contact with the social environment for 9 years, and she's like a child, and you can do it. ”
After a moment of embarrassment, Ah Xun changed the topic with interest: "I just think this matter is not as simple as you say, I want to see what it is." ”
After being bitten by the moon beast, Dodge never showed up again, and it took more than a month to finally get a unit of water of life at a high price, and finally let his arm return to normal. Hearing about the appearance of a running corpse in a remote town reinvigorates Dodge, whose arm has just been restored. Maybe it's a senior master, and you can also worship a teacher or something, even if it's not so coincidental, maybe what will you gain?
As night approached, Dodge quietly walked into the center of the town, and then began to search the surroundings with mental power, and found that there were really people haunting at this time!
Dodge was besieged, and two abilities and an ordinary person appeared in three directions, but the smell exuded by this ordinary person was particularly familiar, obviously there was no strong mental power fluctuation, but he felt like the same kind to himself.
When the three of them showed their figures, Dodge recognized one of the men and one of the women at a glance: "It's you?"
Where is the real end of the world not meeting, Ah Xun searched for half a month and did not find the person who unexpectedly appeared in front of him: "Mr. Deathwalker, I have been looking for you for a long time, and today is really a coincidence, the main lord did not come, but he waited for you." ”
Hearing Ah Xun say this, Jonya was slightly disappointed: "It's not the person we are waiting for?" and then quipped: "You really look like a bad person when you say this!"
Dodge felt very unlucky, he had already given up the looted treasures, but he still had to confront these people: "That's it, I think you are more suitable to be a bad person, more suitable than me!"
The three of them gradually got closer, and Ah Xun stared at Dodge and asked, "Don't talk nonsense, let me ask you, what the hell is the Tears of the Goddess?"
Because of the tears of the goddess, Jennifer actually mastered the abilities of the Death Walker with the physique of an ordinary person, and with such a wide variety of abilities, it was a Death Walker, which could not help but be doubted.
"What Tears of the Goddess?" first in shock, and then Dodge's gaze fell on Jennifer: "I see, this young lady may have started to use my precious ring, right?"
With Ah Xun's tone, Jonya pretended to be righteous Ling Ran: "Haven't you explained it honestly, have you been surrounded?"
Dodge disagreed: "Really?" and then rushed directly at Jennifer.
The situation was urgent, and Ah Xun and Jonya also quickly moved closer to Jennifer.
The tears of the goddess flashed between Jennifer's fingers, and three corpse scorpions appeared in front of her, just blocking the momentum of the Deathwalker.
Surprisingly, Deathwalker didn't intend to really face Jennifer at all, showed a weird smile, and turned around and rushed towards Ah Xun again, without using any abilities during the process.
Suddenly alert, Ah Xun shouted: "Be careful!" Sensing the danger but it was too late, Ah Xun did not stop the death walker, but pounced on Jennifer!
I don't know when it started, Ah Xun's state of mind was changed, he became caring for others, he became responsible, and he became self-sacrificing.
Jennifer was pushed aside by Ah Xun, but when she looked back, she saw a shocking scene, a syringe-shaped crossbow arrow hit Ah Xun in the chest!
Jonya fired a shot at the fleeing Deathwalkers, and when she heard screams from both directions, she didn't care about the outcome of the battle, but turned around and ran towards Ah Xun.
Glancing at Jennifer, who was at a loss, Jonia helped Ah Xun to sit on the ground, and reached out to pull out the crossbow arrow that could be fatal!
The wound was undetectable, but Ah Xun felt very painful at the moment, only to feel that there was a constant roar around him, his whole body was spasming, and even his eyes began to roll.
"Ah Xun, you must not have anything to do! I will take you back, there is the most advanced medical equipment on the mothership, it will definitely save you, you have to hold on!"
Jennifer was still stunned, did he actually take an arrow for me? It turned out that there were other people besides Li Rui who would care about him, and the ice in his heart began to thaw.
It was not difficult for Jonya to pick up Ah Xun, and it was very easy for a trained soldier to pick up a person, but Ah Xun struggled strongly, which made Jonya also at a loss.
Suddenly, Ah Xun stopped all movements, including breathing and heartbeat.
Jonya finally picked up Ah Xun, but her heart was full of despair.
