After a turbulent day, night fell again, and Dendera Fortress ushered in its second night.
A patrol team from the fortress is holding a torch and patrolling along the streets of the fortress city. Although the zombies in the city have been almost eliminated after the day's killing, sporadic attack reports are still coming,
Therefore, this patrol team still appears to be very vigilant.
However, since the goblins have basically been lost, patrols have to be carried out by the Naga snake demons and the magicians. The Naga snake demons are better, but the magicians are frustrated by this.
Secretly complaining, these mages have never patrolled back and forth like this all night long? But there is no way to prevent zombies from appearing. The iron golems and gargoyles are not up to the task.
Those puppets who only know how to obey orders are hard-headed and do not have the ability to make active judgments at all. They cannot tell whether the zombies who look like little goblins are friends or foes...
Moreover, if these puppets are used to patrol, even if zombies do appear, they will not attack them, and they will not be able to patrol at all.
The mages are used to being pampered. If they walk a certain distance, their backs and legs will hurt and they have to stop and rest. This makes the patrol process intermittent. Although the Naga snake monsters are very disdainful of these guys, they can only
Stop and wait, who makes them teammates?
Naga snake monsters are a special race living in the swamps of the Kingdom of Bradaka. They are amphibians. Because their upper bodies have multiple pairs of arms and are strong and powerful, these Nagas can be said to be natural sword masters.
The Kingdom of Dhaka recruited them as the royal team to make up for their shortcomings in melee combat and water combat, and also gave them a corresponding status, which was only a little lower than the mages.
During the patrol, these mages were basically out of reach, so the Naga snake demons were responsible for the main vigilance mission. Because their lower bodies were snake tails, they were very sensitive to vibrations on the ground.
While the team was resting, a Naga snake demon suddenly noticed a slight movement coming from the ground, so he immediately became vigilant and called the other Naga snake demons to come forward.
After this investigation, the Naga snake monsters discovered that this subtle movement seemed to come from the sewer...
Due to the special geographical location of the Dendera Fortress, a large number of troops are stationed here all year round, so there are naturally corresponding residential buildings for the troops to live and live in the fortress. Since daily life is to be carried out, facilities such as sewers are indispensable.
Less.
In fact, the Dendera Fortress has a complete and complex network of underground waterways. These underground waterways are spread throughout the neighborhoods in the city, and after being aggregated, they lead to the large river outside the fortress that runs through the entire canyon. These underground waterways are very
It's low. Normally, it's basically maintained and unclogged by goblins. Not to mention the mages, not even the Naga snake demons have ever gone down there in person.
So when they realized that the noise was coming from the underground waterway, the patrol team was a little confused and hesitated whether to send someone down to take a look.
The sewer was smelly and dirty. Just opening the lid almost made the Naga snake demons faint from the smoke. The sewers even avoided it, which made the members of the patrol team look at each other. But
No one wants to go down.
"Ahem!" When everyone was in trouble, a medic coughed twice and said: "Actually, I don't think it's necessary. Haven't you noticed that those guys who were infected by the plague and turned into zombies actually have no sanity?
Yes, he just attacks the living everywhere based on instinct. How could such a guy be smart enough to hide in the sewers?"
"Yes, that makes sense!" These words suddenly made the other masters suddenly realize, they clapped their hands and praised: "You are smarter and see clearly!"
"Everyone has probably thought of it, but it's just not as accurate as what I said!" The chemist was also very proud, but he pretended to be humble and exchanged commercial boasts with other chemists.
The Naga snake demons secretly cursed. Of course they knew that these masters were just looking for an excuse not to go down, but... I have to say that this excuse really makes sense. How could those zombies without intelligence think of it?
How about hiding in the sewers to avoid being searched?
Just when the Nagas were thinking this, the movement in the sewer disappeared. After waiting for a while, no one appeared. The Naga snake monsters finally breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Maybe it's just some rats in the sewer."
, we thought too much..."
Just when they were about to close the cover of the sewer and continue patrolling, suddenly, where the sewers behind them were sitting and resting, the ground exploded with a bang, and a black shadow sprang out at an extremely fast speed, in front of everyone.
Before anyone could react, the black shadow suddenly rushed into the group of mages!
A shrill scream was heard, and the assassin who had been exchanging business blows before was bitten by the black shadow's neck and taken away!
As for the remaining mages, because several of them were right next to the mage who was taken away, when the black shadow came, they were pushed down directly, leaving a bloody paw print on their chests, which was clearly visible.
bone……
The attack came so fast that it took a while for the patrol team to come to their senses and hurriedly chased in the direction of the screams.
"Damn it, what the hell is that thing!?"
"I don't know, it was too fast! I didn't see it clearly at all!"
"There! It jumped to the roof!"
Although the patrol team did not catch up with the black shadow, they saw the jumping figure from a distance, so a magician with quick reaction immediately waved his staff and fired a missile in the direction of the black shadow.
Magic bullets for lighting.
The blazing white magic bullet flew all the way out, and under the flickering white light, everyone finally saw the black shadow.
It was a plague-infected person with the appearance of a goblin. However, its appearance at this moment was hugely different from that of a normal goblin. It was lying on all fours high up in a bell tower. The witch who had just been taken away,
Just under its feet, its lips had been completely torn to the cheeks on both sides, revealing a pair of sharp teeth, and on its face, there was a pair of gray-white eyes, two pairs of four eyes flashing with magic bullets.
Under the bright lighting, it looked so weird. The most outrageous thing was that there was a pair of insect-like transparent elytra on its back!
When it was lying on the bell tower, the pair of elytra were still trembling and making a low buzzing sound, as if it was issuing a threatening warning...
Although it was just a glimpse, the strange and ferocious appearance of this little goblin still made everyone take a breath of cold air, and the gray and horrifying eyes made everyone's hair stand on end.
This kind of monster can no longer be called a goblin, but no one can find a suitable name to call it.
At the moment when the light of the magic bullet was about to disappear, everyone saw with their own eyes that the monster suddenly bit into the trampled assassin, and then pulled hard!
The assassin's screams stopped suddenly, and a huge gap appeared on his neck, causing him to die instantly.
After biting off a piece of flesh and blood, the monster on the clock tower raised its neck and swallowed it in one gulp. Then, after the darkness resumed, it turned into a black shadow and disappeared...
After struggling for a while, the patrol finally retrieved the body of the dead mage. After examining the body, everyone looked nervous and serious.
It has amazing bite power and mobility, can jump, and can fly briefly, and most importantly, this monster seems to have a certain amount of intelligence. It knows how to attack the weakest position of the patrol and walk away with one blow, using its own speed.
Make it impossible for the pursuer to attack it...
"Is this...are these still those zombies that are swaying and only know how to rush forward!?" A **** master said with a trembling tone: "Why? Why do such monsters appear!?"
No one could answer him. Everyone looked at the dead mage's body in silence. When they found that the already cold body was trembling slightly again and showed signs of waking up, everyone finally sighed and said:
"Burn him, this matter must be reported!"
Before leaving, a Naga snake demon suddenly found a shiny object on the ground. He couldn't help but pick it up and look at it, only to find that it was a small piece of broken transparent crystal.
"Strange, what is this? Did it fall off the monster just now?" The Naga snake demon murmured to himself. After looking for a long time, he couldn't find anything, so he could only throw this thing away...
However, when the patrol team returned to the interior hall to report the incident, they discovered that there was chaos in the hall.
Not only them, there were multiple patrol teams that were attacked by monsters during their patrols tonight!
Moreover, the monsters that attacked them were all different. At least from the descriptions of eyewitnesses, almost every monster looked different, but these monsters had one thing in common, that is, they were all agile and powerful.
Incomparable, and have a certain hunting instinct. Compared with the previous zombies, these monsters are more like real... beasts!
The worst thing is that even though they were attacked frequently, no patrol team captured such monsters. These monsters seemed to disappear and hide after catching enough prey!
And there is only one most likely hiding place for them, and that is the underground waterways throughout the fortress!
After learning the news, Eschar, Solam, and the others... sighed in annoyance, which was a sign that they wanted to be angry but couldn't.
Because they understand that it may be quite difficult to destroy these monsters...
……………………
At the same time, Roy, who was dozens of kilometers away, seemed a little surprised after witnessing these mutated creatures in the fortress.
According to his calculations, in addition to being infective, the re-degenerated and reverse-mutated T-virus should also retain its original high variability. As long as there are enough infected samples and given a little time for mutation, something like "
Monsters like "Hunters" are absolutely possible, but what Roy didn't expect was that these mutated creatures didn't know whether it was due to different genetic species. The appearance of these mutated creatures after the mutation was completely different from what Roy had imagined.
, even one of the mutants that Roy observed through the devil's eyes actually inherited Roy's frost power and could spit out strong cold air to freeze prey.
Under the attack of these mutants that became more powerful, huge casualties once again occurred in the fortress, and this time the casualties were not only those of the assassins and Naga snake demons, but also some green dragons and Titans.
Although these high-level creatures did not suffer much damage from the mutant attack, in the sudden attack, they were stunned and failed to leave those mutant monsters behind...
This situation made Roy scratch his head a little: if the T-virus continues to mutate like this, maybe high-level creatures will also be infected? And...can he control this spreading infection by then?
