Chapter 286: Corpse City (2)

When Zero saw it, his mood was indescribably complicated.

It is Lampez State University, where Zero and Ben met that day, and where their fates intersected. I don't want to be separated by nearly half a year, and Zero has set foot in this college town again, as if a casual turn of fate has brought Zero back to this place.

The arrival in the university town was not accidental, but the result of a backward course after observing the route of the living corpses. From here, the living corpses crossed the complex and broken city roads to reach Remut, where they became part of the vast sea of corpses.

It's a nest of living corpses, but the number of living corpses heading towards Remut is far from endless. In fact, by the time Zero and the others arrived at the university town in the evening, there were almost no living corpses emerging from the college town.

They were now on the rooftop of an abandoned factory building near the university town, and from this direction, there were still living corpses in the university town, but they had stopped sending new forces to Remut. It's just strange that where did these living corpses in the college town come from?

At the same time, there are a series of problems.

The reason for the gathering of the living corpses, the purpose of the attack on Remut, and, most importantly, the question. Where is the intelligent life hidden behind this series of events?

Agatha opened her eyes.

The blonde beauty had been standing at the edge of the rooftop with her eyes closed all along, and she was facing the direction of the university town to activate one of the Suggesters' abilities, Life Perception. This ability is similar to Anthony's mind scan, but not all. Psychic scanning is the use of mental power to scan an area, and then mentally model that area.

Although life perception also uses mental power to scan the entire area, the difference is that this ability is mainly used to determine the number of lives in the area and their location.

When Agatha opened her eyes, Qi Ya Shi gave her a few glances. Agatha found an indifferent gaze in it, and then saw Zero.

"How?"

"Not too optimistic. Agatha stretched out her hand and gently pinned the ends of her windswept hair behind her ears: "There are about two thousand life reactions in the university town, but the life level is extremely ordinary, and there are no reactions that intelligent life should have. ”

"That's normal. Zero looked at the university town: "If it is an intelligent life, it should know how dangerous it is to be discovered." So if they really exist in this school, then they must be hiding themselves. ”

"In that case, we're going to have to use the stupidest way possible. Kaede stretched and yawned.

Zero nodded and looked at the blonde beauty, "Captain Agatha, it looks like we're going to have to separate for a while." We searched from the east and west, and if we found intelligent life, we were able to communicate with each other. Remember, don't provoke it lightly. ”

"I see. As Agatha said this, an explosion was heard in a street northeast behind them.

In the smoke of the explosion, there were electric snakes. From a distance, hundreds of living corpses suddenly poured out near the explosion site, including a butcher and two bomb corpses, which quickly gathered towards the explosion site like bees that saw honey.

"Looks like our captain Berrion has a lot of work to do. Agatha smiled softly, a smile that made Johnny and Jonah stunned at the same time.

"Leave him alone, I wish I could have completed the mission before he arrived. Zero made a gesture to leave, and the others began to act. Zero looked at Agatha again and said lightly, "Take care." ”

Zero left, and only Agatha's team was left on the rooftop. The simple but sincere words were still ringing in her ears, and Agatha smiled, and her attention returned to the present: "Then, let's act too." This time we want to let everyone know that we are not idle scouts. ”

The clenched fist illustrates Agatha's determination from another side.

When Agatha also left the rooftop, the sky began to darken.

It's dark.

Night solstice, but shijie is not pure black. A faint red sky light from the radiant clouds sprinkled on the ground of the wilderness, replacing the moonlight of the old days. The wilderness isn't as quiet as it usually is, and some small mutants are gradually leaving the university town and the city where Remut is located. It has become a battlefield for the living and the dead, and the breath of either side makes the mutant beasts living in the ruins feel uneasy, even terrifying.

Instinctively driven them to leave. Especially in the vicinity of Remut, the smell of living corpses and the smell of gunpowder on the battlefield drove away all the mutant beasts in the vicinity, making the species here from the original abundant species to the current monolithic.

The battlefield in front of Remut was obviously not as lively as it was during the day.

In just one afternoon of fighting, the corpses of 5,000 living corpses and the remains of thousands of soldiers were left on the battlefield.

It was a fierce offensive and defensive battle, and there were several reversals of superiority and disadvantage between the two sides in the battle, but in the end, the living corpses temporarily retreated, allowing the Remut side to win the first time.

Now, there is a burst of joy in the Remut base, but it is the residents of Remut who are celebrating the first victory in days.

But Avinot, who was sitting in the command car, seemed preoccupied, and a video was playing on the tactical board in front of the commander. The video shows the entire afternoon battle, filmed by dozens or more surveillance cameras, expertly edited to allow Avinot to see the battle from a holistic perspective.

In the first two hours of this battle, humanity was in absolute superiority. The power of missiles, armored vehicles, and artillery tanks covered almost the entire battlefield, causing countless living corpses to die continuously. But with the lack of ammunition, this advantage was quietly lost, and just as the two powerful chariots stopped bombing, the vanguard of dozens of butchers made the first powerful assault on the human defenses!

The images of the butchers storming in clusters are moving, like bio-tanks, braving rapid-fire cannon attacks to cross the human blockade in the absence of heavy firepower, destroying the newly built fortifications of the soldiers with rudimentary but crude weapons.

The fortifications quickly built with liquid gel jishu could not resist the destruction of monsters like the butchers, but fortunately, Avinot took the opportunity to send all the remaining Hammer of Doom teams in the base, and let a detachment of Dawn Shield light ability people assist in repelling the attacks of the butchers. But the next wave of attacks by the living corpses dispatched hundreds of bomb corpses.

These free-roaming biobombs pose a deadly threat to human soldiers, and if it weren't for their limited numbers, the newly created defenses could have been completely dismantled by these new types of living corpse suicide attacks.

For the next two hours, the battle remained deadlocked. The number of living corpses made up for their lack of firepower, and on a few occasions the sea of corpses almost broke the defensive line, and it was the soldiers who filled the gaps in the defensive line at the cost of their lives, giving their companions behind them a chance to repel the living corpses.

For two hours of blood, soldiers were dying every minute. The battle tested everyone's nerves and will, but fortunately, the soldiers of Asgard survived the test after all, but left behind the corpses of hundreds of soldiers.

By the time Zuihou arrived, the living corpses had become frantic and irritable. They have also changed their tactics, with butchers or rippers dropping living corpses from the air into human positions, even though most of these corpses are intercepted by volleys. But occasionally there will be some fish that slip through the net, and the threat of living corpses to capable people is infinitely close to zero, but they are just ordinary people's servants, and once they are approached by these monsters that act quickly and are not afraid of death, they will also produce a huge threat.

Under this strange style of play, there is a slight confusion in the human position. And when the living corpses began to build a human wall, the confusion expanded.

Perhaps feeling that this tactic was too inefficient, the living corpses were no longer thrown by the high-level monsters, and they directly built a human wall and rushed towards the fortifications like huge waves. In this case, even if the living corpse underneath is killed, the dead on the human wall will fall from the air, like waves splashing on the reef, and roll into the human position.

Faced with this strange tactic, Avinot paid the lives of hundreds of soldiers to repel the living corpses again. But after this time, the living corpses stopped attacking. Unwilling to do so, they retreated, hiding in the ruins of a distant city, waiting for the order to attack again.

After watching the video for the third time, Avinot closed his eyes. Judging by the behavior of the living corpses, Avinot has been sure that there is absolutely a guy hiding behind them who is in command of the whole situation. The first few rounds of attacks are just that, and Zuihou's round of human wall offensive is definitely not an attack that a low-intelligence monster like a living corpse can launch with instinct.

What worries Avinot even more is the type of living corpse, since there can be bomb corpses in the living corpses, is it possible for the flying living corpses used for low-altitude attacks to evolve? If the answer is yes, then the sudden evolution of the living corpses no longer belongs to the category of nature, but is like the modulation of the ability when it is promoted.

The evolution of modulation means that the living corpse has entered the ranks of biological weapons from simple mutant creatures!

Thinking of this, Avinot suddenly opened his eyes. His hairs stood on end, all because he thought of what a terrible disaster it would be for humanity if a living corpse appeared in a biochemical kingdom with different divisions of labor and different troops.

Now, we can only hope for them. Avinot said silently in her heart.

Naturally, they refer to the zero three teams.

A ray of light appeared in the darkness.

At first glance it was so faint, like a firefly. But in an instant, the light suddenly expanded, like a lightning bolt that spanned the heavens and the earth, appearing in its eyes.

The next moment, its shijie is dumped from different directions on the left and right.

The living corpse in the tie had no idea that its head had been neatly and cleanly cut in half and hung down in different directions.

Zero kicked it away, fangs flying in his hands. Another flash of light flashed in the darkness, leaving a turning trail in the air. On the other side of the sword light, the head of the upper half of the living corpse flew up.

After killing the second living corpse, a male corpse dressed as a worker pounced on him, holding Zero's hand tightly with both hands.

Zero snorted, and the light teeth bounced up in his hand and landed in the palm of his left hand.

Catch the bare fangs and stab the living corpse in the eye socket with a knife. The light knife effortlessly sliced through the sturdy skull, then vertically upwards from the Zero Palm, finally breaking out of the top of the living corpse's head, bringing out a puddle of dark red corpse blood.

The living corpse died instantly, and the hand holding Zero was loosened.

At this moment, a living corpse from Zuihou slammed straight into Zero from the darkness.

Zero jumped on the spot, sending the living corpse into the air. One tumbles in mid-air, and zero falls vertically. Bend your legs and kneel on the shoulders of the living corpse. Grabbing the head of the living corpse between his legs, Zero turned his waist sharply. Only to hear a click, the vertebrae of the neck of the living corpse were stiffened to zero bones. A piece of white bone even pierced out of the skin with blood, and with a single kick, the lifeless corpse flew diagonally into the door of a black hole.

At this point, the four living corpses in the corridor on the fifth floor of the student dormitory were quietly killed in the darkness by Zero.

Zero put away his light teeth and moved on.

In this dormitory building, the bodies of more than thirty living corpses have been left. They either had a broken cervical vertebrae, or a cracked head, and they died in a variety of strange ways, but none of them had a single gunshot wound. Although Zero is not a master in hand-to-hand combat, with his light fangs and some ordinary fighting techniques, with the blessing of his second-order Liliang, he is enough to kill these ordinary living corpses.

When Zero walked onto the roof of the dormitory building, in his mind, the building had been marked with a big cross sign, indicating that there was no intelligent life in the dormitory.

Three hours have passed, and there are no stops and stops in between. There is fighting, there is also rest, but there is no trace of intelligent life, which makes his brow become more and more serious, if there is no intelligent life, then where does the invisible constraint in the action of the living corpse come from? If there is no command node, what drives the living corpse to carry out regular behavior?

Instinct? This possibility has long been thrown out of Zero's mind, and the almost beastly instincts of living corpses are not enough to make them perform such complex behaviors.

A series of sounds sounded from the communicator of the tactical suit at this time, but it was because of the fact that the people had told Feng and the others to report every half an hour before the zero operation. Like Zero, the three of them found nothing, except for searching all the way and killing hundreds of living corpses.

Standing on the rooftop, the night wind blows the ends of Zero's hair. In the darkness, the golden flame in the right eye burned endlessly, just like Zero's determination, and he had no intention of giving up.

Just then, Agatha's voice appeared in Zero's communication channel: "Captain Zero, where are you now?"

Zero perked up and immediately responded, "I'm in the dormitory area of the school, Captain Agatha, have you discovered intelligent life?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't find anything. However, I have found something suspicious, and perhaps you should come and check it out. ”

Then, Agatha announced a coordinate. Zero immediately called the others to go with him, and Agatha Team was located on the rooftop of the school's library. On the way to the rooftop, Zero sees the bodies of some living corpses. Like Zero, Agatha's team uses hand-to-hand combat to remove the living corpses they encounter on the road in order not to alarm the living corpses in the school.

Among these corpses, many of them showed signs of being killed with sharp weapons, but a small number of corpses showed strange scars. Most of the injuries on the bodies of these corpses consisted of body parts being shattered by blunt force, and the whole image did not appear to have been wounded by a sword. Seeing these corpses, Zero believes that they are the work of fighting master Johnny.

Coming to the rooftop, the night breeze is strong. Eight minaries of the suggester team were on guard, and Agatha's team had the lowest level of servants in addition to herself and two suitors. Servants have limited combat effectiveness, but they can accomplish some trivial things, and vigilance is one of them.

On the rooftop, I saw that under the night sky, Agatha stood straight. She was on the edge of the rooftop, and if she took one more step, Agatha would fall off the library. The night breeze blew her long golden hair in the air, like a graceful arc. Hearing the noise behind her, Agatha half-turned her face. The wind ruffled her hair, and the strands of it meekly covered half of her face, softening the slightly stiff face.

"Did you find anything? Captain Agatha. Zero was slightly surprised to find Agatha holding an electron telescope. If a person with the ability to perceive the domain like Agatha had to hold a telescope, then the distance she could observe would usually be measured in kilometers.

Throwing the telescope to Zero, Agatha pointed outside the university town to the south, somewhere under the ruins of the city in the distance, and said, "Look there." ”

Suspiciously, he picked up the binoculars and looked in the direction of Agatha's finger, which had been turned to night vision mode. In the red picture, Zero sees an empty street, with multiple traces of cracks on the pavement of the street, and a few cars parked in a messy manner. Some of the cars were badly damaged, and some were just empty shelves, like decomposing corpses.

A collapsed building in the middle toppled tons of huge stones onto the street, creating a natural partition. Several street lamps fell to the ground, further complicating the already obstructive road environment.

In this complex environment, there is a team of living corpses coming from that direction. They cross the streets of the city's ruins, and if the living corpses don't change direction, they will eventually reach the university town. In the binoculars, Zero saw hundreds of living corpses in the group. In addition to most of the ordinary living corpses, there were five butchers and eight rippers.

They look like guards, as in the middle of the group, there is a strange living corpse.

This living corpse is like a fat man, but it is a big fat man who is nearly five meters tall. It was like a moving mountain of meat, with a chubby body under the head with short hair, and the vibration when it moved made the fat on the fat man's body appear in layers of flesh waves. The fat man had two disproportionately small hands, and because of the angle, Zero could barely see the feet hidden under the fat body.

It's just that judging from the amplitude of the concussion of the flesh layer, this living corpse does not seem to have more than two legs, but has multiple legs like a caterpillar.

Another new kind of living corpse that I've never seen before!Zero thought with a frown.
