Chapter 299: Realm of Annihilation
"Guys...... How do I feel that we have walked into the infected area before we know it? I don't know who said that, but it was just an expression of the fear in their hearts.
"yes...... It's reckless again, and before I know it, I'm stuck in such a place, and I feel like we're better off walking around the point, and I always feel like I'm going to be haunted......"
"I'm afraid that if there is a ghost here, it must be the kind of zombie ghost infected with the zombie virus......
Listening to the team members, the mage also muttered something, and after the translation of the battle suit, they also knew that the mage also suspected that the city was washed in blood by some infected people, which is why it became so desolate.
If there were only furniture on the streets and some blood on the walls, they might have thought that the city might have been ransacked by bandits or gang fights, but there were too many traces in the city that they couldn't properly interpret and understand, such as the big and deep scratches on the walls, such as some bones and armor on the ground, such as some huge holes that had been directly smashed into the door frames or window framesβ It was all caused by some unintelligent beast that saw its prey and rushed over it in defiance of the wall......
Finally, they seemed to have no courage to move forward anymore, and the eyes of a group of people fell on Gong Piqing's body again, "Captain, what's next?" This place should also be an infected area, or let's leave as soon as possible, lest there be some zombies in this city who don't leave or something to come out and sneak attack. β
Gong Piqing was also very anxious, he was waiting for the queen's order.
"If such a large city becomes an infected area, then the country of extreme cold will be in danger...... If the city is far away from the palace, if it is not far from the palace, then even the palace is at risk of infection? The queen reasoned from Gong Piqing's mind, "Ask them if you found something about the agreement from that crashed plane, which basically means that the Demon Realm has formed an alliance with the Xiguan Institute of Benevolence." β
Gong Piqing half-understood the queen's question to the team members, and then they connected some seemingly fragmentary clues they saw on the road.
"That's right, that plane is from the Xiguan Renai Research Institute, and Xiguan Renai is most famous for researching zombies, do you mean ...... Xiguan Renai and the Demon World have some kind of cooperation, they deliberately put zombies here? One of the team members said.
"No, not intentionally, don't forget, that plane crashed because of an accident, it was when you fought with the Storm Three-Headed Dragon, the Storm Three-Headed Dragon caused the plane to crash and crash, and the crash site of that plane is not far from the territory of the Storm Three-Headed Dragon, so it can only show that they didn't deliberately spread the virus, and the virus began to spread from that plane, first infecting some creatures on the seashore, so you just met the zombie sea creatures that chased you at the beginning, But you didn't see the staff who were responsible for escorting the virus along the way, that is, the people from the Xiguan Renai Research Institute! β
The queen said from Gong Piqing's mind, like an invisible hand, connecting the seemingly inconsequential things in Gong Piqing's mind that they had encountered, and suddenly brought to the surface a huge conspiracy between the demon realm and the human world.
"You've dealt with the virus many times, and you'll understand that the virus has mutated over time just like you, and it's much slower and more unstable than you, but even so, they all have a common rule, which is that they must be getting stronger and stronger, and if those workers injected themselves with the virus from the day of the plane crash, then they should have become an extremely dangerous infection by now! For those infected, the more they slaughtered, the stronger they became, and if this city was the work of a few of them, they would be terrifyingly strong by now. β
Gong Piqing was so shocked that he didn't speak for a long time after hearing this, he didn't know how to tell the team these words, the queen's meaning was very clear, that is, she was worried that those infections were still in this city, if that was the case, then wouldn't they be the target of those super infections now?
"Brothers, brothers...... Do you remember the plane we came across...... The queen said that the infection inside should have been strong enough for us to ...... Be careful that there are zombies around......" He conveyed the queen's meaning to the team members according to his own understanding.
"Actually, there is another way to understand, that is, we don't know how the palace deals with these infected, now that the infectates here have destroyed a city, it will be very tricky to hand over these infectates to the headquarters of the Mill Research Institute to deal with, I'm afraid even Gaia's heavy team is very dangerous in this kind of enemy situation, the more the infected satisfy their bloodthirsty desire to kill, the more they will like this feeling, they will definitely go to a crowded place, In that case, the palace would undoubtedly be their ultimate goal, but I'm just worried...... The palace has a way to control these infected, turning them into their own army. β
"Queen, we haven't arrived at the palace yet, don't scare me...... If you really say that, there may be no zombies in this city now, and the zombies have gone to the palace to find someone to eat, right? Gong Piqing asked from his heart.
"It's just my guess, I can only say it's possible, but I can't guarantee that there are no zombies in this city, after all...... You're human too......"
The queen's words completely made Gong Piqing goosebumps, and even he wanted to quickly mutate a pair of wings to fly away with the team, but the energy consumption in his body was really out of control, after all, the dragon-shaped mutation he made when he broke through the rock formation with Tianlong was very energy-intensive, and later he also strengthened the Han Bafang Sword to the limit into Odin's destiny spear "Gangnir", if he performs another dragon-shaped mutation now, I am afraid that the energy in his body will bottom out after he flies to the palace.
"Alas! I've always liked to be cranky with you, so let's give the order to the team now, keep going, maybe the infection zone hasn't spread to the palace yet, the sooner you go, the better. The queen sighed from his head.
He relayed the queen's order to the team members, and the team walked along the road under their feet again as if they were just "all the people racing", Gong Piqing's mood didn't look very good, because he was afraid of the queen sighing like this, indeed, they don't know what the situation is in the palace now, and if they find out that the palace has a way to control the zombies, then their enemies are not a group of zombies with intelligence?
It's hard to imagine how they would deal with the kind of infected body with terrifying mutation and self-healing ability, strong infectivity and strong obedience if they stood opposite them as an enemy, and if Gong Piqing was the only one to carry out this mission, maybe he wouldn't be so nervous, because he wouldn't be infected by that virus, but what should the team do? The only thing left of the team members is now the dragon's spine heavy cannon and some light weapons, even if their weapons are much stronger than when they came, but in the face of those infected people who don't know how mutated they have become, can they really retreat from the enemy's siege every time as before?
"Let everyone get closer to you, ask if their suits have some radar patterns, and now you must be full of vigilance, lest some zombies around you come out and sneak attack you."
The queen gave the order from Gong Piqing's mind, and Gong Piqing was responsible for relaying the order, and the atmosphere of the team became tense unconsciously, as if there were really some enemies hiding in the shadows in this dead and deserted city ready to sneak up on them.
"Report, there is a radar mode, but it is to detect sound waves and some electronic equipment, and there is no way to find out if there are zombies around." One of the team members whispered from his side.
"Then get out of this city and go to an open place, the more open this situation will be for you......"
Before the queen could finish speaking, they were startled by a sudden noise coming from a nearby house, and a layer of cold sweat oozed from everyone's palms, but no one knew what was hidden behind the wall opposite them......
