Chapter 288: Corpse City (4)
The fat corpse is still changing. (Release)
The speed at which it eats has slowed down, unlike the speed at which it used to be swept away, and now it "swallows" an ordinary living corpse almost every minute. Obviously, the energy in the body has reached saturation, and it will naturally be excreted after eating. It's just that this strange living corpse excretes nothing, but it's not any feces.
The waves of flesh below the mountain rolled up layer by layer, followed by a strange organ that quickly formed. It resembles a woman's lower body, and as a furrow takes shape, it spreads out to the sides, and a ball of flesh erupts from the discharge organ.
The ball of meat rolled out three meters away, it was not big, less than half a meter in diameter. But soon, something bulges on the meat balls. They resemble sarcomas parasitic on the ball, but the sarcomas elongate to form limbs, body, and head. A moment later, a skinny body, but a living corpse with a big belly, shook off the juice from its body, and slowly propped up the corpse on the track and field.
This kind of living corpse on the rooftop is all too familiar to everyone, it is like a bomb corpse for the powerful!
After the first bomb corpse was generated, more flesh balls were expelled from the fat corpse's lower body organs, and ten minutes later, there were more than thirty more bomb corpses on the track and field. They are rapidly formed, and there is no difference in appearance or weight, and they are almost like biological weapons concocted by sophisticated instruments.
After the bomb corpses were generated, the production of the fat corpses was still over. The strange production organs suddenly opened, and a dozen strange corpse beasts ♀ were sprayed out at one time Some corpse beasts were the size of a hunting dog, their whole bodies were rotten, and they looked like wolves, but their heads were huge, and their bodies were almost one-to-one After ♀ the large-headed corpse beasts were generated, they seemed to have received instructions in the morning, and when they were flying on all fours, they swept up the high wall at the edge of the track and field, and then squatted down like wolves.
But they don't simply crouch, and when these monsters fix their bodies, the rest of their bodies suddenly melt except for their heads. The flesh and skin were connected, and eventually they were inseparable from each other‖ and the liquid even trickled to the wall, and the corpse beast and the wall were tightly glued together. And the corpse beast's wolf kiss was wide open, and its eyes quickly calmed, and finally turned into a stone statue.
But the bio-energy that is active inside them tells a few people that these things are not dead.
More corpse beasts continue to spawn, and they rush to the commanding heights inside and outside the university town in an orderly manner, and then quickly solidify into strange beast carvings. Judging from the position they occupy, it is more like a preset fort.
Zero didn't have time to discuss what these things did, and a new corpse beast was born from the fat corpse. It's still a four-legged crawler, but the new corpse beast is a little special. It resembles the carcass of a beast with insect-like arthropods, and then attaches a human head ♀ to its neck, with slippery bald eyes and a chin xiangshang, which makes people feel twisted.
After this strange corpse beast is born, they do not move at will, but directly grab the living corpse nearby and eat it. When they finished feeding for the first time, the corpse beast's back cracked, and a dozen intestine-like things floated up from their bodies, and they didn't know what it did.
The number of this corpse beast is extremely small, only about five. After the gut-like thing grows on their backs, they suddenly disperse and hide themselves in the darkness of various buildings.
At this time, the fat corpse's whole body trembled, and several meat pupae were discharged ♀ from its production organs, and some meat pupae were wrapped in a thin layer of flesh membrane, and from these flesh membranes with intricate tendons, it could be vaguely seen that there was a huddled humanoid shadow in the meat chrysalis. And the fact is also true, when the person in the chrysalis reached out to tear the flesh film, as the blue-yellow nutrient solution was set aside, one by one ** human beings appeared on the empty track and field.
These people are superficially indistinguishable from ordinary people, but their chests do not rise or fall, indicating that they do not need to breathe. In other words, no matter how human-like they are, they still don't escape the definition of a living corpse. It's just that they are much cleaner than ordinary living corpses, but under Agatha's observation, the energy level of these living corpses is extremely low, and they are almost indistinguishable from ordinary living corpses. In other words, these clean living corpses do not have much combat power.
So, what is the rationale for making them?
Like the corpse beasts in front, the number of these humanoid living corpses is also very rare, only about four people. After tearing the chrysalis, they came to the side of the fat corpse≈ and the corpse roared at them, and they nodded like humans as if they had received some command. Then they turned around and let out a short roar at the bomb corpse.
The bomb corpses, which made the capable people feel dangerous, seemed to obey the four humanoid living corpses, and the bomb corpses quickly ran like a team of hounds to the exit of the athletic field. They were followed by the four humanoid corpses.
After the living corpses left, the fat corpses began to eat again. But this time, after it ate five hundred ordinary living corpses, it did not have any production action, as if it had produced four types of living corpses before, which had already consumed a lot of energy, and it could not concoct new living corpses in a short period of time.
Zero and his party silently retreated from the rooftop, and came to the floor ♀ below was a teaching building, and the room where Zero and the others were located. Most of the classrooms have been destroyed, but a small half of the space is still intact. Several large tons of boulders were piled together, acting as a load-bearing role, fixing the other half of the gravel and steel bars, and making room for a few people to rest.
Several glow sticks were stacked on top of each other, quietly placed in the middle of the crowd. The dim light illuminated the space within ten meters, but more places still melted into the darkness ° With the root nutrients in his hand, he ate the nutrients in his hands little by little, and converted them into energy for battle.
The rest of the people were doing similar things, and they had been active for nearly ten hours since they left Remut. Even those with zero abilities were tired, let alone Agatha's servants.
Three of the servants were assigned to guard the guard, while the others fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep. But they don't have much time to sleep, and each person is only given ten minutes, and when it's time, they have to wake up and take turns on watch.
The servants could sleep, but a few could not. After silently eating the nutrients, Zero drank another drop of water condensate ♀ and dropped it into his stomach, and Zero's already dry lips became moist again. His gaze swept over the faces of the others, seeing that everyone was almost finished eating, and Zero said, "That thing must be destroyed, now!"
By the time he left the rooftop and made his way to the classroom, Zero had already reported to Avinot what he had seen in the university town through the contact. Obviously, the fat corpse is a mobile arsenal, and the ordinary living corpse is materials and energy. Of the four living corpses produced, the first type of bomb corpse has already been seen. The second type of wolf-like living corpse is supposed to be a biological turret, the next kind of human-headed beast-like corpse is of unknown purpose, and as for the Zuihou humanoid living corpse, zero is sure that they are the commander.
If the university town that has been covered by nerve flesh membranes is a huge information terminal, then the humanoid living corpse concocted by Zuihou is the node to receive information. The intelligent life is still nowhere to be seen, but it is certain that it has its own way of giving orders to the Fat Corpse, who in turn conveys it to the commanders on the front line, so that the tactics of the Living Corpse Legion can be adjusted at any time.
This is a systematic and stealthy information transmission jishu, and the appearance of the commander is almost indistinguishable from that of a normal living corpse. At the very least, it's not easy to distinguish between the howling corpses on the battlefield. As a result, it is very difficult to dismantle the command system of the living corpses.
What is more problematic than the command system for humans is the fat corpses on the track and field, and as long as there is a living corpse arsenal like a mother beast, new types of living corpses will continue to be produced. With the appearance of the biological turret, it is clear that the living corpses intend to occupy the university town, turning it into a stronghold for the living corpses, or a supply depot for attacking human territory.
Whatever it is, the Fat Corpse must be killed, or the legion of living corpses attacking Remut will be replenished in a steady stream!
Others, including Agatha, agreed with Zero's decision.
In the previous communication with Avinot, they heard a series of cannon shots from the other side of the contact, it should be the living corpse that launched another attack ♀, which caused the communication to be abruptly stopped by the excessive energy activity near Remit, and a few people could not receive new instructions, so they could only judge for themselves.
And destroying the fat corpses is equivalent to disintegrating the arsenal of the living corpses, so that their new types of troops cannot be replenished. As for the common high-level monsters such as ordinary and living corpses and butchers, Zero believes that it will be difficult for Avinot to be stationed in Remut.
Now that the goal has been set, the next step is to formulate an operational jihua. Agatha put her personal brain on the ground, and a topographical map of the university town was already called up on the screen. On the flat map, a striking dot is marked on the track and field, representing their goal. The surrounding buildings are littered with fragments of white dots that represent the biological turrets that occupy the high ground.
In this map, there are also five gray dots, and there is a question mark in the middle of the gray dots, which are the few unknown human-faced corpse beasts.
As for the number of ordinary living corpses that were reduced to food, although the number was large, it was negligible for zero. What made them care more about the biological turrets on the vantage heights, and it was conceivable that when they launched an attack on the fat corpse, those things would definitely not be as simple as decorations.
Therefore, the biological turret must be eliminated before attacking. It doesn't take much, just dismantle the forts near the track and field, but that is enough to count as many as twenty. When the task was assigned, the task of dismantling the fort fell to Agatha and Marpew, who took the initiative to take on the task because of their limited combat power and the latter's limited ability to play on such a small battlefield.
Johnny and Jonah, as well as Agatha's servants, were temporarily handed over to Zero's command. Agatha's Marpei would load time bombs on these turrets, and when they detonated, they would attract the attention of the living corpses, giving them zero chance to attack.
The five abilities, including Zero, were all inclined to attack abilities, and with the assistance of the servants, even if the five missing human-faced corpse beasts appeared, it would be enough to take out the Fat Corpse Arsenal. And this action must be carried out before the second wave of biological weapons is produced by the Fat Corpse Terminal, otherwise Zero and they will not only face monsters such as ordinary living corpses and human-faced corpse beasts.
"So, let's do it......"
Zero stood up, and now that the task had been assigned, it was time to act. But at the end of Zero's words, Agatha seemed to sense something, and suddenly looked out the window. The next moment, an explosion sounded outside the window, and his face changed slightly, and he threw himself into the window. Looking through the window where half of the window frame had been reduced to splinters, the southwest corner of the track field was blown out.
Rubble mixed with steel bars jumped into the air, and then fell like a torrential rain. But the explosion did not stop, and several beams of energy wrapped around the electric snake continued to blast in from outside, blasting the outer wall of the track and field field and the corner of the stands into flying ashes.
In the dust and smoke, the figure of the Taoist appeared in the smoke. At the same time as the explosions appeared one after another, the biological batteries on the commanding heights near the track and field field also began to work. The dead eyes on the wolf's skull suddenly glowed red, and if you look closer, it is not difficult to see that the light in the wolf's eyes seems to be beating according to a certain pattern, as if receiving some command.
Twenty or so nearby forts turned at the same time, and the muzzles of the guns were aimed at the cloud of dust and smoke that swirled around the corner. The next moment, a little red light condensed into the wolf's mouth. After a moment of energy accumulation, a series of blazing beams of brilliant red light shot straight towards the target.
The beam is silent and extremely fast. Fang came out of the gun, and in the blink of an eye, it shot into the dust and smoke. So a ball of fireball exploded, the explosion was incessant, and the ground of the track and field shook violently, almost like an earthquake!
The biological turret shelled three times in a row before the attack stopped temporarily. Smoke wafts from the wolf's kiss that acts as the muzzle of the cannon, and the biological turret is undergoing the necessary procedures for heat dissipation standby.
The southwest corner of the track and field was in ruins, and the wind gradually blew away the smoke, revealing the wreckage of the building scattered with the embers of flames→ and the energy beams fired by the object batteries were not only powerful, but also hot, and the places they bombarded were scorched black. But when the smoke cleared, a figure appeared in the middle of the ruins.
A two-meter-high giant shield is stacked on top of each other, combining a three-dimensional shield array ♀, and after withstanding three rounds of bombardment from the biological turret, the giant shields are still not deformed and damaged, but the surface emits a hot white smoke. The giant shield is made of composite materials, and the shield surface is covered with intricate and beautiful patterns ♀, some of which are not simply decorative, they also play the role of channeling energy.
If it hadn't been for that, the shield array would have been disintegrated in the bombardment of the biological turret.
At this moment, the shield array moved, revealing a gap. And in this gap, suddenly there were several flashes of light like artillery bombardment. The lightning flashed several times, hitting several forts at the high points. In the onslaught of this torrent of energy, the fort cracked, disintegrated, and shattered. When the lightning cleared, the creature turrets were left with low pedestals.
In the ruins of the stands, the shield array was scattered, and behind the giant shield were sturdy men. There were six of them, and they were scattered around with huge shields. Shielded by the guards, Berrion strode towards the athletics field with a sinister face.
There are no pawns in Berrien's squad "Wild Thunder", except for Berrion himself, who is a promoted ability, and the other six are also ability. It's just that they don't have a promotion, and their abilities are very simple, only fifth-order liliang and defense. But their job is not to fight, but to protect Berrion in all aspects.
In the team of Wild Thunder, there is only one offensive ability in Berrien. With him, the "Thunder Hand", there is no need for extra firepower. The six shield guards who protect him are the Thunder Guards specially trained by Berrien, and the giant shields in their hands have good defensive performance in two different attack methods, physical and energy.
"What a majesty, Captain Barrien. ”
After seeing that it was Berrion who suddenly attacked, even Agatha's tone became cold. The appearance of Berrion made the Jihua formulated by Zero and others immediately appear variable, and it is no wonder that Agatha is unhappy.
"Leave him alone, let's do what Jihua does. Zero said lightly.
Everyone nodded, and separated outside the classroom, and led a group of thirteen people, including Kaede, to sneak near the track and field, and only waited for Agatha and Matthew to blow up the nearby biological turret, and then launched a general attack on the fat corpse.
And inside the athletic field, the battle between the living corpse and Berrion has already begun.
The creature turrets high above the building were still bombarding, but the bright red beams of heat were blocked by Berrien's Thunder Guards. Most of the beam's energy is dispersed by the crystal pattern on the shield, and each guard's defense up to Tier 5 makes the remaining fraction of the energy a harmless explosion.
In the midst of the fireballs that exploded around him, Berrion walked along. Electricity continued to pop out of his hands, and with each flash, a stream of energy wrapped around the electric snake broke through the air. Although it is the most basic skill of the lightning system, "Thunder Light Arrow", under the control of Berrien's ability as high as the sixth order, each thunder light is no less powerful than the bombardment of the biological turret.
After a few flashes, the same number of biological turrets were directly shattered by Berrien. Looking at the thunder that tore through the sky, Zero couldn't help but stand for Agatha and the two, don't be accidentally injured by Berrien.
Seeing that in an instant, nearly half of the fort near the athletic field was broken, and the corpse opened its mouth ≈ let out a scream, and the ordinary living corpse that immediately served as food rushed towards Berrion like a mad as if receiving an order.
Berrien, who was under the shield arch, let out a chuckle, and he took it with both hands, and then pulled it open, and there was already a cloud of jumping lightning in his palm. Lightning instantly jumped out of Berrien's palm, instantly hitting a living corpse. But the lightning eventually disappeared, and it bounced at another living corpse. It danced among the living corpses like this, flickering more than a dozen times before disappearing into thin air.
The living corpse that was hit by the electric light smoked from seven holes, but the internal tissues were instantly burned into charcoal by the high-volt current.
One of the abilities of the Thunder Hand, "Lightning Chain", is capable of multiple relay attacks. The number of times the current can be passed depends on the attacker's ability, and with the Liliang that Berrion currently has, he can make the lightning chain pass twelve times!
