Chapter 291: Dead and Silent Land (1)
"Avinot has relayed to me all the information you have reported, and from now on I declare that the battle of Remut has nothing to do with you. The three of you teams are now under my command for the time being, and you don't have to obey anyone's orders except me, understand?"
The Brain had been laid flat on a window on the exterior wall of the factory, facing all the members of the Hammer of Destruction, including Zero, so that everyone could hear Kalio's orders directly.
Cario pulled out a cigar out of nowhere, lit it, took a hard puff, and then frowned at his thick eyebrows and said, "Well, I'll admit that this incident has far exceeded our strategic estimates. I thought it was just an ordinary corpse tide, but I didn't expect so many other things to be involved later. ”
At the time of the report to Avinot, the others also knew that there was a higher will behind these living corpses. This will is at the level of absolute domination, and judging from the current information, it also has the ability to perceive the domain. In fact, everyone would prefer that it descend through the air with the will of the ability of the perception domain, otherwise if it is done with its own pure liliang alone, then this existence already has the same liliang as the liliang when the twelfth order ability is at its peak, or it is directly a thirteenth-order powerful lifeform.
And if it is the ability of the perception domain, as far as Agatha knows, among the basic abilities of this field, if the ability of telepathy is strengthened to the eighth order, it will be able to achieve the effect that zero senses.
The will comes out of the air and mentally suppresses the target, eventually causing the target's spirit to collapse. This is a high-level manifestation of telepathy, and no matter what kind of basic ability, when it is strengthened to the advanced level, it usually evolves the terrifying liliang. It's just that there aren't many capable people who are willing to do this, firstly, it takes a lot of evolution points to advance to the high rank, and secondly, whether it is the ability to advance to the advanced level, or the ability of the advanced ability after the eighth order, they have mastered it. Even low-level abilities are far more powerful than basic abilities of the same level.
Based on the above two points, few people will strengthen their basic abilities, unless necessary. For example, Su, because of the reason why his berserker soldiers focus on Liliang, he will increase the level of Liliang to strengthen this ability.
And now, the identity of this will master is an eighth-order perceptual domain ability, which is more acceptable to everyone than a twelfth-order, or even a thirteenth-order powerful lifeform.
"We have a preliminary grasp of the information on the Corps of Living Corpses and have handed it over to Dr. Raphael for analysis. As you have assumed, behind this army lies a kingdom of living corpses. That's right, a kingdom. Didn't Zero say it before, and the words of the self-proclaimed creator Gulad mentioned something like 'queen'?" Kalio tapped his finger in the direction of the screen, as if to emphasize something: "It's her, Queen! This being is the ultimate will behind the living corpse, and God knows how such an existence evolved in the living corpse without our knowledge. But there is no doubt that it is our enemy, the enemy of all humanity. The dead and humans are inherently incompatible. It's just that the previous group of living corpses had low intelligence and acted purely on instinct. This is true even for the high-ranking monsters among them, such as the Butcher and the Ripper. But now it's different......"
"Not only are these so-called queens binding on living corpses, but they have developed modulable biological weapons. By the way, you look at these. Cario's figure faded, and dioramas of new types of living corpses began to appear on the screen: "Dr. Raphael has named several new types of living corpses that you have seen, so that it is convenient for future data storage and soldier distinction. Damn, looks like we've had to deal with this stuff for a while. ”
On the brain screen, the first thing that appeared was the bomb corpse, and the doctor gave it the name of the demoman, and then the next ones were the biological turrets, the human-headed corpses, the commanders, and the killing weapons blade corpses that Zero had seen. They are named Guard, Lurker, Herald, and Executioner, respectively. These names are based on the nature and characteristics of the monsters, which are also apt and vivid.
After a brief introduction, Cario reappeared: "Dr. Raphael thinks that the self-proclaimed creator of Gouard, along with the other three creators, should be able to produce more than that. According to the creator's judgment of the battlefield and then the weapons that are automatically produced, they can produce a variety of biological weapons according to their needs. Even if there were enough energy materials, it would not be impossible for a weapon of war such as a mothership to be produced. This is where the kingdom of the living corpses differs from the alien race, although the alien race also evolved from mutant creatures. However, their social structure and abilities are relatively simple, and they are not as complex as the Kingdom of Living Corpses. ”
"We can allow the existence of alien races with different abilities, but we must not allow the existence of such a living corpse kingdom with a clear division of labor and a complex number of troops. Gentlemen, I need you to find out about this kingdom and its queen. Then, wipe it off the ground greatly!"
Cario's order was expected by a few people. The new era is an era of competition, not only between people, but also between humans and other life. What competes is the qualification to survive in this land. There is only one earth, and there is no room for too many intelligent life. Therefore, some lives are destined to be eliminated in this competition.
As long as it's human, no one wants that species to be human. The emergence of the Kingdom of Living Corpses is a wake-up call to mankind, once certain lives are given intelligence, a clear social division of labor begins to appear, and finally a kingdom with complex arms is formed, it will definitely be a disaster for mankind.
Whether it's Valhalla or the Dark Council, as the two giants of the Zhongzhou Continent. Neither of them wants to see a vast kingdom of alien life lurking right under their noses.
However, no matter how willing Zero and the others were to complete this task for Cario, there were some unavoidable problems.
"We don't have enough power to destroy a kingdom, sir. "Zero speaks to everyone's hearts in a bland manner.
"I understand. Cario showed a rough smile: "Of course, you birds can't destroy a kingdom." But we can, your main task is to find out where the kingdom is, and then, just send us a coordinate. For the rest, you don't have to do anything, you just need to get out of the coordinate location as quickly as possible. ”
Zero Yizheng said suspiciously: "Laser illumination? nuclear bomb strike?"
As soon as the words fell, Agatha's expression next to her became a little strange, and Berrien "hummed" from her nostrils, full of disdain. On the screen, Cario's hearty laughter sounded: "If it is a target within ten kilometers of Asgard, your proposal may still be realized, but the nuclear bomb will have to be replaced with a second-stage tactical missile." But you are now at least 2,000 kilometers from Asgard, and even if the target is right at your feet, this method will not work at all. ”
Cario gestured to look up, "After all, those damn radiation clouds in the sky not only affect the possibility of air traffic, but also make long-range missile attacks a joke. However, what I asked you to do is similar to what you said. It's just that the laser alignment has been replaced with an energy crystal, and the nuclear bomb strike has become a long-range ability attack. ”
As he spoke, Cario pulled out a prismatic spar from his pocket: "I have informed Avinot that he will have three buggies, food and clean water for you later...... And this kind of thing. ”
"The positioning of the spar was originally intended to let Avinot be prepared to bring it to Remut, but I didn't expect it to come in handy. Cario explained, "This thing is a special locator that seals the same nature and the same energy intensity. When produced, such hedros are produced in pairs. When one of them is crushed, the other will be crushed because of the resonance between the two hedrons. However, the energy released by the crushing of the hedron will be detected by our special equipment and thus lock on to the target. This is produced using the principle of elemental resonance, an ability on the elemental domain, and it cannot be mass-produced yet, so there is only one hedron for you, please use it carefully. Because when the hedron in your hand shatters, it will take up to three minutes for the target location to withstand unimaginable elemental attacks. ”
"Elemental attack?"
"That's right, a long-range strike that also uses the principle of resonance between the elements. Cario said solemnly: "At that time, after receiving your coordinates, the seven high-level abilities of the Elemental Domain in Asgard will exercise seven different elemental energies, and work together to use one of the Elemental Domain's twelfth level abilities, 'Doomsday Havoc', at the coordinate location you provide, to destroy the location indiscriminately!"
As soon as Cario's words came out, there were a few gasps around Zero. Seeing Zero didn't seem to understand what Doomsday Havoc was, Kaede explained, "As a twelfth-order ability, Doomsday Havoc's power is only slightly weaker than the thirteenth-order 'Doomsday Judgment'. However, these two skills cannot be used by everyone, and they determine that the ability must be proficient in the abilities of the seven major systems of the Elemental Domain at the same time, and each of them must reach the level required by the ability. In other words, even a slightly inferior Doomsday Havoc requires the user to have all seven of the abilities of the 12th rank to be able to use it. As a result, there are hardly any of these two skills that can be used alone. ”
"That's just the way it is. Cario said with a proud face: "These two abilities can only be used by selecting those with the same level of seven-series abilities, and this is a great test of the tacit understanding between the abilities, as long as there is a problem in one link, the failure of the ability release is still a trivial matter." If the energy runs wild, it will be a terrible disaster. It was not easy to find seven Rank 12 Elemental Domain Abilities, and Asgard had not had the ability to activate this strategic level until the last few years. Now, it is just possible to shiyan this ability. ”
"Well, that's all I have to say. Find the location of the Kingdom of the Living Corpse and crush the location hedron in the right place. Then, you have three minutes to escape!" said Cario solemnly.
The screen flashed twice, and the smart brain cut off the communication. Agatha took the brain down, looked at everyone, and said, "This mission is not trivial, no matter how much we don't like each other. I hope everyone will put their preferences aside and prioritize the task on this trip!"
She gave Berrion a deep look, who didn't say a word, only nodded heavily.
Although Berrion agreed to put aside his pride and temporarily cooperate with the operation until the mission was completed, he naturally would not stay with a few people. So on the makeshift camp, Berrion and his two remaining Thunder Guards occupied the southern edge. He just sat silently on the ground and lit a bonfire with an electric light.
The flames illuminated his handsome face, but his eyes looked very gloomy in the flames, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Kaede lightly bumped Zero's arm and said, "Do you think that guy will hold a grudge and make a fool of us at a critical moment, so that we will be buried in the Doomsday Catastrophe with the Living Corpse Kingdom?"
"You're thinking too much, aren't you?"
Zero Mo replied, Su frowned and retorted softly.
"It's not impossible. Zero was inspecting the Giant 1 sniper rifle and said, "It's always right to be careful, a mad dog is sometimes more terrible than a lion!"
"The captain is right, a mad dog like Berrion should be guarded against. Kaede nodded and looked over to Berrien.
Berrion seemed to feel something, and turned his head to look at Kaede. The eyes of the two met in mid-air, filling the camp with the smell of gunpowder.
The sound of the engine sounded in the distance of the ruins, and a few lampposts cut through the night, but it was Avinot who delivered the vehicles and supplies that Zero and others needed. Agatha's servants immediately signaled for the reinforcements, and a moment later, three SUVs stopped at the edge of the camp.
The three cars brought not only supplies, but also several sets of advanced medical kits, which were obviously arranged by Avinot in consideration of the various injuries of the others and the need to continue the mission. In addition to this, there are several sets of marching tents, as well as a prismatic positioning spar.
The positioning of the spar is naturally guarded by the captain, but there are three captains on the scene, and it becomes a problem who to hand over to keep it.
"Don't give me this fragile thing, don't accidentally detonate it by my abilities. Berrien's voice was flat, and he turned around and left. The two Thunder Guards behind him took the two marching tents from their cars and left with Berrien.
Zero looked at Agatha and said, "I'd better leave this spar to you for safekeeping, my range of movement is too large when I fight, and it's also not suitable to carry this kind of thing with me." ”
Agatha did not refuse, her ability was mainly in Kamcha, and the opportunity to fight was very rare, and she was the most suitable person to keep the hedron. So she didn't say a word, and put the hedron away.
"However, the wilderness is so big, where is this so-called kingdom of living corpses to be found? Agatha frowned as she remembered the problem that was giving her a headache.
Zero looked at the ruins of the night and said, "We will look for the creator wherever he came from." ”
Agatha's eyes lit up, and she suddenly woke her up with a sentence of understatement. But when she came to her senses, Zero had already left, and she and her team had set up a tent on the camp.
They will rest here for the night, and tomorrow they will set out in search of the Kingdom of the Living Dead. Who knows if the journey could take days, or months?
In the middle of the night, even the burning bonfire was only a flame, struggling weakly on the solid burning surface. In the ruins in the middle of the night, the temperature was only about minus 25 degrees. The earth was unusually cold, like ice. Sitting on such a ground is definitely not comfortable. But the servants in charge of the guard had nothing else to do, unless they were willing to stand all night.
The servants sat on the ground, warmed by thick cotton clothes and low flames. Among the supplies, there were also two crates of low-quality wine. They have a bitter taste and are more like alcohol mixed with water than wine. But no matter what, they're strong enough to go into the throat, and that's enough.
The vigilant servants each carried such a bottle of inferior wine in their hands, and occasionally poured it into it to warm their bodies with the spicy liquor.
At the eastern edge of the camp, Zero sat quietly like a stone sculpture. The wounds on his body had healed in the first place, and his whole body was covered in pink blood shackles. These things will fall off tomorrow morning, when Zero's body will look like it's unharmed. But real injuries don't heal so easily, as cracked bones and damaged internal organs take time to heal, while regeneration of lost lobes takes even longer.
Although Zero sits, every time he breathes, he has a sharp pain in his body. Judging from Zero's expressionless face, no one knew that he was seriously injured now, except that his face was slightly paler, and Zero was no different from a normal person.
The low temperature and strong winds are no longer a threat to those with this level of ability, not to mention that the Night God tactical suit already has a constant temperature system, which is enough to support the soldiers of the Hammer of Doom to move freely in extreme environments. Therefore, Zero did not care about the cold wind that was enough to freeze ordinary people to death.
"Captain Zero, he didn't sleep all night, but it didn't do any good for the injury. ”
With a clear voice with a slightly hoarse voice, the temperature around Zero rose slightly, but it was Agatha who sat next to him.
"Don't you either, Captain Agatha. Although there were no injuries, an all-night stay was equally damaging to a woman's face. Zero looked at her, his face calm as usual.
Agatha smiled and reached out to untie the ponytail's haircover. Immediately, Agatha's blonde hair fluttered in the night wind. The hair is like a dancing elf, always gently sweeping over Zero's face, intentionally or unintentionally, giving Zero a tingling sensation.
There are a lot of beauties that I have never seen, but every beautiful woman, their temperament is different. Such as Leah's beauty, Moni's innocence, Atesha's wildness, and Valkyrie's ice beauty. As for Agatha in front of her, she is more inclined to a neutral beauty. Agatha doesn't make people feel amazing, but she is like a bottle of mellow wine, and the longer you spend together, the more you feel that she tastes good.
"Why do you keep staring at me, do I have sand on my face?" said Agatha chuckled.
"No, it's just that I think you're pretty. Zero replied honestly.
So in the ruins of the wilderness, there was a place where the temperature rose slightly.
Two red clouds quietly flew up on Agatha's face.
