Chapter 2: The Licker

This is Roman's last patrol, and there are countless walking corpses roaming outside the corpse hunting team's station, and Roman's duty is to assist the corpse hunting team in cleaning up the walking corpses.

In fact, "cleanup" is not accurate, the accurate description should be "cut".

The Walking Dead Virus is a creation of wizards to curb the spread of the Mana ecology, so hunting the Walking Dead is more about preventing the tide of corpses and mutant beasts, so that the virus ecology can be kept within a controllable range.

This is reflected in the task of the Corpse Hunters, where each soldier only needs to kill ten walking corpses per patrol, and if they encounter mutant beasts, they are killed or contained by knights.

Wizards encouraged containment and even promised higher rewards, either as experimental materials or thrown into the Manna ecoregion to plague the Eaters.

Roman rode a horse, surrounded by soldiers, walking on the paved road, watching the soldiers slash a small walking corpse, killing so happily.

Because of the exorcism fans, the walking corpses instinctively avoided them when they saw them, as if they had met a natural enemy.

Through the deliberate promotion of wizards, human beings have achieved symbiosis with the virus, which is mainly manifested in three ways:

One is that humans are immune to the virus, and they will not be transformed by the virus, even if they are bitten, they are just a matter of smearing some medicine, and now the wandering walking corpses are produced by the mother, which is more like a zerg than humans.

The second is corpse repellent powder, once humans smear it, the walking corpses will retreat, just like now, because of the corpse repellent powder, the walking corpses will run when they see the soldiers, if they don't run slowly, they really can't make up ten small walking corpses for one person.

The third is to resolutely curb the tide of corpses and mutant beasts, the raw material of corpse repellent powder is mutant beasts, and it is useless to drive away low-level walking corpses by emitting the smell of high-level creatures, but it is useless to encounter corpse tides or mutant beasts, so the task of the corpse hunting team is to prevent corpse tides and mutant beasts.

In general, a dynamic balance has been maintained between humans and the virus ecology to ensure that the virus ecology is used by humans and does not pose a threat, just like tigers and lions, which are both retained and contained, and maintained to a controllable degree.

"Attention, we have entered the ecologically dense area, beware of mutant beasts!"

Just as Roman's thoughts were flying, the captain's voice sounded in his ears, and he looked around and found that the stone path under his feet was gone, and he was in an endless grassland.

The grass beneath your feet is as soft as a carpet, colorful flowers are vibrant, butterflies of all colors are flying up and down, and the smell of cold fragrance is in the air.

If it weren't for the walking corpses wandering around, who would have believed that this was a post-cataclysmic world?

In the virus ecology, the dead walking corpse can fertilize the land and promote the growth of plants, and in the mainland, the walking corpse is widely used as fertilizer, which is deeply loved by farmers and uncles.

The walking corpses like to eat raw meat, and the peasant uncle hangs the meat in front of the walking corpses, driving them to plough the land and grind, and make cattle and horses.

At this time, the captain beside him said, "Roman, I heard that you are going to capture the walking corpse, or you should catch it here." ”

Roman nodded and agreed, "Okay, let's put the raw meat in the cage." ”

From Roman's carriage, the soldiers unloaded a huge iron cage and put in a cow with blood on it.

The walking corpses, like sharks smelling blood, gathered one after another, but stopped because of the corpse repellent powder on the soldiers.

The soldiers opened the iron door of the cage and moved away from it, and the walking corpses, seeing the threat of leaving, immediately swarmed into the cage and nibbled on the beef in the cage.

"Let's get off the gate!"

At Roman's order, the soldiers let go of the ropes in their hands, and the cages of walking corpses were trapped, but they were unaware of it and were still eating greedily.

The soldiers carried the cages onto the wagons and covered them with canvases, and the captain suggested: "Why don't we camp here tonight?" ”

The soldiers sprinkled corpse repellent powder around the camp, took out the jerky and cooked a pot of thick soup, which was eaten beautifully.

Roman took out the butter, wiped a longsword, and when he was done, put it back in the weapon case, and then opened another case with one part after another.

"Dragon Hunting Crossbow!"

There was an exclamation from the side, and the captain took the dinner and said with a surprised face: "I didn't expect you to even get this thing." ”

The Dragon Hunter Crossbow is a large bed crossbow that is usually fired from a tripod and has extremely high penetrating power, quickly paralyzing the Eater.

Roman took the dinner, wiped the parts with butter while eating, and said lightly: "This is not unusual, those children of the qualified family will prepare like this, and most of the magic stones I have earned in recent years have been smashed on this." ”

The captain smiled: "You have worked so hard to kill monsters in recent years, just for such a thing?" To be honest, I feel a little hanging, I've heard that Eaters are very agile, is your bulky crossbow useful? ”

He still does not give up persuading Roman, there are often young people like Roman who enter the Mana Ecoregion, but none of them come back alive, some of them are from big families, and some even have wizarding backgrounds, let alone Roman.

However, Roman shook his head, not wanting to talk about this topic, and pointed to the distance and said, "You don't care about the farce over there?" ”

The captain pointed towards Roman, where there was a commotion, eating hot pot and singing, and they gathered in a circle and cheered loudly.

If you look closely, there's a boxing match going on, a strong soldier against a weak walking corpse.

The soldier washed off the corpse repellent powder, and the walking corpse immediately pounced on the soldier, it was so hungry that it had never eaten a bite of fresh meat since it was born, and if it weren't for the solar energy to provide photosynthesis, he would definitely be dead.

However, as it bit down, an iron bar blocked its mouth, and it turned out that its head was covered with a "helmet", and a cage prevented its mouth from touching any food.

The food was close at hand, but it could not be eaten, and the little walking corpse immediately fell into a frenzy, instinctively waving its arms desperately and striking at the soldiers.

This was right in the arms of the soldiers, who nimbly dodged the claws of the walking corpses, and from time to time struck with heavy punches, and the soldiers around him cheered and cheered.

The Walking Dead Boxing Tournament, the few entertainment activities of the corpse hunting team, and the accompanying betting gambling followed.

"Come on, the walking corpse, kill this turtle grandson! If you win, Lao Tzu will give you meat! ”

"Silly Qiang, didn't you eat! Why can't you even get a walking corpse, Lao Tzu is betting on you, hurry up and fight back! ”

There are also soldiers who frown, they have compassion, the walking corpse is too human-like, although it is a little ugly, but it also has limbs and heads, they give shelter and animal power to humans, and it is really unreasonable to use them for amusement in this way.

And the captain is precisely the third type of person, he immediately stepped forward, stopped the boxing match with his authority, took off the helmet of the corpse, and threw it back into the wilderness.

Roman looked at this scene and couldn't help but feel funny, the same background, which happened on the earth in the previous life, I don't know if it is like now.

"Ding! Host curiosity detected, do you want to set up a simulation task? ”

"No! Don't waste your computing power, keep on your vigilance! Roman decisively refused.

After a while, the boxing storm in the distance ended, and although the soldiers were dissatisfied, they couldn't bear that the captain was a knight, and they ordinary people couldn't stand it.

So after beating a few thorns, everything returned to calm, and just as Roman was about to lie down and rest, the chip suddenly sounded an alarm:

"Warning! Warn! There is an object approaching in the northwest, 80% likely licker......"
