Lord of War

Chapter 60 Resident Evil

Zoren is really in a bad mood now. The reason for the bad mood comes from a battle provoked by non-human creatures on the way.

After knowing that Zero took Leia to Remte, he summoned the team to leave the Z7 base. If everything goes well, Sauron can come to this settlement the day after zero arrival in Remte. If things go like this, Zero will not want to risk the ruins of Lampez University Town, and he will not know Su and Ben. He and Leah will be detained by Sauron and then taken back to the base camp of the Dark Parliament.

But there is no such word if.

The reason why Sauron was "late" was that they met a cluster of living corpses on the road.

It was no accident that Zero and Teddy saw the migration of living corpses during their night camp on the outskirts of Silvertree City. The living corpses in Silvertree City and other similar species who did not know where they migrated from quietly gathered in the ruins of a city on their way to Remte. Sauron rushed day and night to catch up with Zero. At night, the living corpses wandering on the side of the road smelled the fresh smell of flesh and blood from the members of the Sauron team, so they had their first encounter.

Of course, the number of living corpses without even a hundred are not the opponents of Sauron's team at all. The battle ended soon after it began, and Sauron didn't care and ordered the team to move on. He didn't think that in the ruins not far away, more living bodies were attracted to hear the sound of gunfire. So in the second encounter, Sauron faced hundreds of thousands of living corpses.

In this case, it won't delay Sauron for too long. But there are high-level living corpses such as butchers and tearers, and there are many such elite monsters. You should know that whether it is a butcher or a tearer, there are not many such high-end goods naturally in every living corpse group. In the group of living corpses that night, there were more than 20 butchers and tearers.

Unlike the butcher's monster like a human tank, the tearers are short, and their appearance is the same as ordinary living corpses, but their bones have been highly mutated. The bones of any part of the tearer's body can be deformed and combined to form a sharp blade that can easily tear the armored chariot, and their flexibility and speed are beyond the reach of the butcher.

In some specific cases, the tearer is far more dangerous than the butcher. Take the second encounter with the living corpse as an example, the tearers of the same kind launched a raid when they approached the Sauron team. They treat their companions as cannon fodder, which brings a lot of pressure to Sauron's side.

In the end, Sauron came out in person before temporarily forcing the living corpses back. But soon, a message came from the Hou soldiers that another group of living corpses had assembled and drove towards the highway. After knowing that his strength was not enough to destroy more living corpses, Sauron had to reluctantly give orders to evade, and the team had been retreating to Silvertree City. Under the cover of urban architecture, Sauron's team and living corpses had a three-day tug-of-war in Silvertree City.

After no one can do anything, the living body is evacuated. And Sauron did not dare to travel overnight when the number of soldiers was reduced by almost half. They began to lie day and night, and in the meantime, Sauron sent the tracking expert Kabu out. Sauron's intention was to let Kabu find out the distribution of living corpses on the way, so as not to fight with the living corpses inexplicably as last time.

Unexpectedly, Kabu found an unusual phenomenon when he went there.

The tracking expert followed the traces of the living corpses to the ruins where they lived and found that some areas of the ruins were guarded by high-level monsters such as butchers and tearers. Cabu, who felt strange, used a nearby high-rise building for long-range reconnaissance, and the scene seen with multiple electron telescopes was directly projected on Sauron's tactical board through the network of the dark parliament.

So Sauron saw an unforgettable picture.

Countless living corpses bite and devour each other in a building. The limbs, internal organs, intestines and brains spray all over the ground. The bloody picture is enough to make people with thick nerves not be allowed to eat for three days. Sauron's nerves are not slender, but they are not thick enough to turn a blind eye to these pictures.

The strange phenomenon of the living corpse was reported to the headquarters by Sauron, which was not his main task, so Sauron did not investigate the abnormal activities of the living corpse in depth. After this small episode, Sauron continued on the road with the team, and the returning tracking expert directly rested for two days before he appeared again.

Regarding the abnormal movement of the living corpse, Soren soon received instructions to "never mention it". Sauron knows that if such a large number of living corpses is a disaster, the base or company within 3,000 kilometers of this marginal area will have to be finished. The old men of the dark council are not going to remind the nearby companies, and Sauron will naturally not worry about it. In his opinion, it's none of his business in this lonely place, even if all the people are dead, even if his family has a small mineral base in this area.

So in front of Remte's second-command Theon, Sauron did not mention that a biochemical storm was brewing more than 1,000 kilometers behind Remter.

Now Sauron is more concerned about the movements of Zero and Leah.

Looking at the photos on the tactical board, Theon smiled kindly: "So you are looking for them, so you are asking the right person."

This is the best news Sauron has heard in the past week, with a rare smile on the young man's face.

The city where Ron Company is located is called Angry Reef City, which is a city standing by the sea. Because of geology, Nu Reef City can't build an underground base like Remt. Ron can only set up various radiation purification devices in the city to reduce the impact of surface radiation on urban residents.

50 years after the catastrophe, even ordinary people's resistance to radiation has increased many times. Therefore, although it lives on the surface, it can barely survive with the purification device. However, the average life expectancy of surface residents will be about one-third shorter than that of base residents, and they will also be infected with various strange diseases.

But in this turbulent era, being able to cover a head is already heaven, so the residents of the angry reef city do not have much complaints about it.

Zero and Leah arrived at noon yesterday in the city of Ron's company. Unlike Remter, there is no strict access system. Ron Company adopts a loose system. Except for the company's headquarters with soldiers guarding, only sheriffs play a role in maintaining order in the city.

Of course, you don't have to expect a few sheriffs to play a role. Generally speaking, these Han security officials just go through the motions. Therefore, Nujiao City can be said to be a free city or a chaotic city.

Zero left Leah in a hotel officially opened by Ron. The fee here is about 30% higher than that of ordinary hotels, but no one dares to make trouble in hotels. Lia is safer than staying in a private hotel mixed with dragons and snakes. Zero goes to the union hall in Nu Reef City for registration. Only by temporarily registering in the union hall of each city can mercenaries or hunters get information and tasks from the union.

After completing the registration procedures, Zero applied to meet with the chairman of the union, hoping to take this opportunity to get close to the senior management of Ron's company to get information about the company or organization that may cure Leah. But there is still no news about this appointment until today. Zero has to put it aside for the time being, and there is another channel for information in addition to official sources.

The place where the channel is located is undoubtedly a pub. So at this moment at 9 p.m., Zero appeared in front of the gate of the only pub in Nujiao City.
