Chapter 215 The spread of the virus
Dragon Skull City was immersed in a dead silence.
The dull roar gradually approached, like the call of the god of death... A group of horrible zombies were slowly spreading to the entire Dragon Skull City.
Although the area of Dragon Skull City was extremely vast, almost all places were filled with various houses.
These houses included both dirty shacks and exquisite palaces.
Sometimes the shacks and palaces were even separated by only a stinking ditch.
At this time, the zombie tide summoned by Xiao Jian had less than 1,200 heads left after several battles. When facing such a vast building complex, the more than 1,000 zombies quickly disappeared in the complex building complex.
Sporadic resistance continued, and the Dragon Skull Warriors who suffered heavy casualties and the remaining red-robed priests did not even have time to rest, and immediately regrouped to chase the zombies that had already penetrated deep into the city.
A red-robed priest holding a rune bow was leading a team of 12 Dragon Skull Warriors to track a 3-star zombie.
They followed the trail of blood into the narrow alley between the outer wall of the palace and the dirty shack.
"Right here... I can even smell the rotten stench on them!"
A dragon skull warrior said bitterly.
Behind him, the priest holding the iron bow looked up and nodded: "Yes, it's here... I see..."
"Huh... Ha!!"
Suddenly!
A zombie jumped out of the shack next to it! It rushed directly to the dragon skull warrior standing closest.
"Be careful!"
"Bang--"
When the other warriors issued a warning, the rune bow in the red-robed priest's hand had already been used!
Although this rune weapon was not activated, the red-robed priest's own attack power alone was enough to kill the zombie in seconds!
But...
"Huh?"
The moment the zombie fell, the red-robed priest was slightly stunned.
Although he couldn't see his own damage value, after a long battle, he knew very well how much damage he could cause to the zombie.
Overall... the damage was not great.
After all, the zombies released by Xiao Jian were at least 2-star [Zombie Evolvers], and the health of this kind of zombies was as high as 20 points!
Even if they had lost half of their health, they were not something that the bow-wielding priest could kill instantly.
Could it be that the zombie was too seriously injured before?
Just as the red-robed priest was about to go and see the corpse on the ground, more zombies emerged from the alley...
Most of these zombies were incomplete.
Some had no arms, some had no legs, and even a few zombies had no heads!
Their rotten muscles were exposed, emitting a disgusting stench...
Their steps were heavy, their eyes were empty...
Their faces revealed a desire for flesh and blood...
And their skin, which had been rotten to the point of being unrecognizable...
was green!
Yes, this group of zombies was not the zombie monsters released by Xiao Jian at all, but derivatives infected by the zombie virus - zombies!
Xiao Jian just threw them away at that time. After all, the most cannon fodder he had was the kind of cannon fodder that he could obtain in large quantities from the fog as long as he "praied" every once in a while.
Except for the early days of the apocalypse, when Xiao Jian was a little afraid of contracting the zombie virus, he saw zombies as if they were gift boxes!
He was too happy to be afraid of the virus spreading.
However, it was this attribute that Xiao Jian had long ignored that erupted with unimaginable destructive power when invading the Dragon Skull City.
Only by experiencing it in person can you know how insidious these zombie cannon fodders are...
Whenever they can attack ordinary people, they will soon turn all ordinary people into their kind! Finally, they will crush the opponent with the rolling numbers!
And now, the first group facing such a dilemma is the bow-holding priest and the team following him.
"Hehe..."
"Ha..."
"..."
The noise of the battle just now seemed to have alarmed the zombies deeper in the shack area...
Hundreds of green-skinned zombies poured out of the shack and immediately began to beat up the team!
As the green-skinned zombies approached, the dragon skull warriors fought back, and the red-robed priests drew their bows frequently, killing the zombies that surrounded them one by one in seconds.
However, facing the zombies that came like a tide, the team, which was already at the end of its strength, began to be exhausted.
The corpses accumulated on the ground became more and more...
The zombies climbed over the wall of corpses, using their rotten arms and broken legs... desperately trying to attack them, even if it was just a single attack!
As time went by, the team members showed an unconcealable fear on their faces.
"Ahhhh——"
Finally, the first dragon skull warrior was knocked down, followed by the second, the third...
Soon, the entire team was overwhelmed by a large number of zombies...
Including the red-robed priest holding the bow!
When everyone was knocked down, the zombies behind continued to rush here, gradually building a pile of corpses that kept moving! !
However, just when the pile of corpses was about to exceed the palace wall nearby, the zombies suddenly dispersed, as if the things buried under the pile of corpses had lost their attraction to them.
Just as quickly as the pile of corpses was piled up, it soon disappeared, and the zombies that were pressed at the bottom staggered to their feet.
This even included the dozen dragon-skull warriors and the former red-robed priest.
Some of them lost their arms, some lost their legs, and some even lost their heads but could still continue to move...
Yes, they all turned into zombies.
…
As the tide of corpses continues to expand, the residents of the city are also drawn into the whirlpool of war.
Fear and confusion are in the air.
Some brave green-skinned residents picked up weapons and rushed towards the zombies, fighting to the death with them.
And more greenskin residents chose to hide in their homes, praying that this nightmare would end as soon as possible.
Finally, when the number of zombies gathered to a certain extent, they began to attack the wall...
Because all the residents in the shack area have been transformed into their own kind, and the nobles within the palace walls have naturally become new targets.
The huge tide of corpses began to impact the gorgeous palace walls, and each impact made the walls tremble.
A large number of noble private soldiers swarmed up the wall and used whatever weapons they could get to attack the zombies under the wall crazily.
However, the more they resist, the more they realize that the number of zombies is expanding...
Facing a huge swarm of zombies, the defense line, which had only a few manpower, began to become precarious.
On the wall, the smell of blood and putrefaction intertwined...
"If we die, will we turn into this kind of monster?"
"No...I don't want to die...I don't want to become a monster..."
"ah----"
"..."
Suffocating fear spread among all the noble private soldiers.
"Quick, quick, quick! Hold on!"
"Where's the dragon master? Where's the priest? Please help me quickly..."
Within the courtyard walls, among the gorgeous palaces, the high-ranking nobles were using messengers crazily.
However, at this time, the war is raging everywhere, who has time to serve them?
The messages for help from the nobles fell into disarray without any suspense.
Just when the private soldiers were on the verge of collapse and the green-skinned nobles were in panic, a deafening dragon roar finally sounded!
"Roar----"
I saw a giant dragon falling from the sky!
Its whole body shone with golden light, its eyes revealed majesty and anger, and a thick fire dragon spewed out of its mouth...
The giant dragon dived towards the group of corpses, spitting out blazing flames and turning a large group of zombies into ashes in an instant.
"Finally! You are finally here!"
"Long live the Dragon Master!"
"Long live!!"
"..."
Reinforcements were ushered in at the most desperate moment, and the entire noble district immediately burst into loud cheers.
And throughout the Dragon Skull City, such scenes are constantly reoccurring.
The dragon masters who were originally gathered together to defend the imperial city could no longer sit still as the green-skinned nobles repeatedly asked for help, and scattered around to support them.
…
On the top of Dragon Skull Peak, an old green-skinned man wearing a gorgeous cloak and a bright crown on his head was holding a scepter made entirely of gold, silently looking at the flying dragons.
"With the Dragon Controller taking action, the little commotion will soon subside..."
Behind the old green skin, a young green skin wearing a green palace dress said energetically.
"Yes." The old greenskin looked gloomily into the distance, "They survived... but our test is about to begin."
"Ah?" The young green-skinned man was slightly startled when he heard this, "Father, what do you mean..."
"I guess He is about to show up... After all, he has created such a big battle and even forcibly started a divine war. I guess He must want to take risks..."
The old green skin looked into the distance silently, and after a while, he handed the scepter to the young green skin next to him.
"Father? What are you doing!?" The young green-skinned man took the scepter, but he was also stunned.
"..."
The old green-skinned man did not speak, but continued to raise his hands, and carefully took off the crown on his head, and slowly placed it on the young man's head.
"Well, then... I'll leave it to you!" The old green-skinned man sighed, turned around and walked down the mountain.
"Father! You..."
"Don't follow me!" the old green-skinned man shouted without looking back, "From now on, you are the new king! Stand here and watch your people!"
"Leave other things to me, this old guy..."
After saying that, the old green-skinned man walked away quickly!
The young greenskin seemed to have no idea that things would develop like this.
He was stunned for a moment, then carefully stroked the golden scepter, then raised his hand and stroked the cold crown above his head.
"Haha... no, I can't laugh... but... hehe..."
The corners of the young green-skinned mouth kept rising and he forced it down, but the joy in his heart still made it impossible for him to hold down the corners of his mouth.
imperial power!
The imperial power that he had coveted for ten years, and even privately cursed the old emperor more than once to let him die... now it came into his hands so easily!
"Hehehehe, hahahaha..."
The young greenskin was high-spirited, looking down at his "people" with a scepter in hand.
However, he didn't see the people, but saw a black shadow flying over from a distance...
"what is that?"
Just when the young green-skinned man squinted his eyes to see the flying thing clearly, a bloody portal suddenly opened behind him, and a tentacle soaked in blood came out of the portal, and fiercely The ground penetrated the young greenskin's chest!
"puff--"
"Well!!"
The young green-skinned man looked at the tentacles that suddenly "grew" out of his chest in disbelief, and then an indescribable huge pain came from his chest.
The penetrating injury from the thick tentacle not only caused him to lose his heart, but even destroyed most of his entire lungs!
He couldn't even utter a scream, his eyes lost their vitality, and he turned into a corpse and fell limply to the ground.
In the bloody portal, the acting chief priest walked out of the door...
At this time, he could no longer be called "him", because except for his clothes, the acting chief priest had completely lost his human form.
Countless tentacles stretched out from his back like wings, and his head completely turned into a "flower" that seemed to be composed of coral polyp tentacles.
Yes, the "person" in Xiao Jian's hallucination really appeared in reality!
"Huh? He's not the old emperor? Damn it...let him run away."
The acting officiant spoke... spoke.
After the squirming cavity-like structure muttered a few incomprehensible sounds, he squatted down and started groping the young green-skinned body.
Feeling around, he suddenly took out a card from the corpse!
If Xiao Jian saw this scene, he would definitely recognize it - it was a characteristic card!
"wrong."
The acting chief priest, who had completely lost his human form, continued to fumble with the body.
"No, it's not this...this isn't right either..."
"Oh, really not?"
After touching it for an unknown amount of time, the acting officiant finally straightened up and threw the last characteristic card onto the body of its owner.
"Patience...I need more patience..."
"The dragon corpse is here, and all the vortex stones have been destroyed...The old emperor must still be hiding here!"
"He can't run away..."
…
On the edge of Dragon Skull City, near the "Windmill World", a strong black-haired man wearing heavy armor stood in the woods, looking at this prosperous foreign city through the sparse shrubs.
"Tsk, it's so developed... there must be good things in it!"
Another "salvager" wearing heavy armor behind the black-haired man muttered.
"Food! Utensils! Gold! Relics! I dare say, there is everything in here!" The bald man rubbed his hands and said excitedly, "Oh my, I can't help but think about the treasures in there. "
"Remember, the main purpose of our visit is to collect sacrifices! We can also get some food and utensils by the way... Don't cause unnecessary complications!"
The black-haired strong man lectured.
"Yes~~~"
"Okay~~~"
The other "salvagers" answered feebly.
"Let's search over there first! It's been smashed over there!" the bald man pointed at a noble mansion.
"Can……"
"Everyone, let's go!"
