The Japanese state is famous for its high population density, with nearly 130 million people living in an area of only 300,000 square kilometers.
Although Bedlord City is just an imaginary city that does not exist in reality, its prototype is Fukuoka City in Kyushu, the sixth most populous city in Japan, with a population density of more than 4,500 people per square kilometer.
But looking at the data, many people may not have the idea, so let’s find a reference for comparison—the Magic City of China, with an average population density of 3,814 people per square kilometer.
From this, we can see how terrifying the population density of the urban area of Bedou City, which is based on Fukuoka City, is.
The outbreak of the dead body virus in the Eastern Hemisphere happened to be during the day, which was the time when people were most active. Therefore, the entire urban area of Bedlord City fell almost quickly in just a few hours.
Office buildings, subways, shopping malls, schools... these densely populated public places are the hardest hit areas for virus outbreaks. Like the protagonist Takashi Komuro and his team in the original work, those who can fight their way out of the siege on their own are very few, at least 90% of urban areas
The population has become the walking zombies wandering around.
Luo Jie sat in an eight-wheeled all-terrain vehicle and walked up the Bedzhu River. As far as he could see, there was a doomsday scene of ruins and chaos.
Countless dead bodies were attracted by the roar of all-terrain vehicles and rolled down the slope of the river bank one after another. They lingered on the edge of the river bank and did not dare to move forward. They kept making waves of anxious roars toward the center of the river.
"Night Dire, how are you doing there? Did you find anything?"
The dancer's voice came from the communication channel. Every ten minutes, she would ask the same question again.
"It's still the same as before, with the corpses sending them off enthusiastically along the river. I feel like I'm about to turn into the cosmic general of the neighboring country, Golden Sun..."
"It's okay. It's a good idea to take the water route. Unfortunately, the current direction of the river makes it impossible to complete the task by boat."
"That is, although the system in the illusion is not airtight, it will never leave such obvious loopholes for people to exploit, but your words made me think of..."
Before Luo Jie finished speaking, his vision suddenly went dark and he lost consciousness.
"Night Dire? Are you still there? Night Dire, please answer me..."
When he regained consciousness again, he happened to hear the anxious shouts of the dancers on the communication channel.
What exactly happened just now?
Luo Jie remained lying in the car without daring to move, and posted a sentence in text on the public channel.
"Sister Dancer, what happened just now?"
"Ah? Nightmare, it turns out you're fine! You scared me to death... you stopped making any sound in the middle of what you said just now. I could only hear the sound of the engine and the sound of water."
"Really? How long?"
"About ten seconds, it's not a long time."
Luo Jie was suddenly shocked and subconsciously touched his head. Sure enough, his hands were filled with sticky blood.
Did he die just now?
Luo Jie couldn't help but cursed in his heart. He didn't expect that while driving in the car and chatting, his head was shot out for no reason. If he hadn't had the [Demi-human] bloodline as his trump card, he would have died in one piece.
Just confused.
"There may be something wrong with the drone's communication module. Let me restart it."
Luo Jie made a lame excuse and quickly closed the communication between the two of them without waiting for a reply from the dancer.
There is an enemy, there is no doubt about it... But the question is how did he die just now?
Before he could figure out the situation, Luo Jie did not dare to act rashly for the time being. He kept his original posture and lay motionless on the seat, letting the all-terrain vehicle that had stalled take him slowly downstream.
I remember that the dancer once said that he suddenly had no sound, but could hear the sound of the engine and water.
There is one detail worth scrutinizing here. The dancer did not hear the gunshot, which means that the hidden enemy did not snipe him with a gun.
Luo Jie lowered his body as low as possible, groped carefully up and down the seat for a while, and then dug out a long and slender hard object from the gap in the seat.
What surprised him was that the hard object as thick as a little finger was not a bullet, but a conical bone spur stained with blood.
Judging from the length, this bone spur is not complete. A long section at the back end has been completely cut off, and the fracture shows an almost mirror-like smooth section.
During the process of death recasting, any foreign objects left in his body will disappear out of thin air like regular annihilation. This bone spur was cut off by the foreign object annihilation effect of recasting.
"It's not a bone arrow..."
Luo Jie couldn't help but frown.
Although there is only one word difference between bone spurs and bone arrows, the information hidden behind them is completely different.
If it was a bone arrow, then there must be someone who drew the bow and shot the arrow, which means that the person who sniped him just now was a fantasy player.
As for bone spurs, apart from necromantic magic and certain specific bloodlines and abilities, only monsters in illusions have such an attack method.
Based on the rank of the players in this illusion, the possibility of mastering the above-mentioned advanced skills or bloodlines is very low, so the only explanation is that there is a monster nearby that can use bone spurs to carry out long-range attacks.
BOSS becomes Hirano Toda!
For some reason, after analyzing these key points, Luo Jie immediately thought of the face of the fat geek with glasses and a silly smile.
Now that the identity of his opponent was confirmed, Luo Jie quickly raised the angle of view of the drone, and based on the location of the bone spurs and the direction in which his body fell, he conducted a carpet-like search and investigation on the south bank of the bed owner's river.
Sure enough, Luo Jie discovered a large black unknown object on the roof of a five-story apartment building two blocks away from the river.
This black object looks a bit like the slime monster "Slime", a must-have cannon fodder creature in fantasy novels, but it is much larger. It crawls slowly on the roof of the building at the speed of an ordinary person walking.
.
This... is Hirano Toda as a boss? This appearance seems a bit curious...
Chu tu tu tu——!
With an eardrum-discomforting roar coming from far away, a light helicopter spitting out Bed City TV Station flew over Luo Jie's head.
Through the egg-shaped transparent glass cover, several men and women dressed as television staff could be seen inside.
At this moment, the originally flat body of the black slime began to expand rapidly, and dense bulges appeared on its high arched back. At first glance, it looked like a giant toad lying on the ground.
Suddenly, the tops of these bulges suddenly exploded, and then a large number of spider-like cracks appeared on the glass cover of the helicopter hundreds of meters away, and faint traces of blood spattered on it could be seen.
The out-of-control helicopter spun and fell from a high altitude. It plunged into the glass curtain wall of a high-rise building and exploded into a burning fireball.
