Chapter 257: Underground Research Institute (Supplement 6/9+7/9)
Jericho, the leader of the terrible knights, let out an angry roar. His right arm holding the sword has been cut off, and the feared two-handed heavy sword can no longer be used, greatly reducing the threat.
Li Shuyi stepped forward to attack, predicting and dodging Jericho's left fist blow. The hilt of the sword was reversed and she hit Jericho in the chest with her elbow, causing him to lose his balance.
Just when Jericho was about to fall forward, Li Shuyi added another sliding shovel. At the same time, her stabbing sword exquisitely hooked his breastplate and thrust upward, knocking Jericho into a floating state again.
Empty state.
The sound of chi chi chi sounded again, like a windmill rotating at high speed, a sword moving as fast as a sword!
This time, the number of combos increased to 7, and the damage was 24 points. However, because it was concentrated on one point, Jericho's other arm was still removed.
Not only were the robbers stunned, but Bai Xiaowen, who saw this scene through the perspective of Raging Claw, was astonished.
Zhao Yun is very powerful. Bai Xiaowen knows this. Li Shuyi will definitely be able to explode with considerable strength after activating "Zhao Yun's Mark". Bai Xiaowen has also calculated this. According to his expectation, Li Shuyi should be able to cooperate with the robbers after the outbreak.
They took care of Jericho, the leader of the terrible knights.
However, it seems that there is no need for the bandits to take action. Li Shuyi alone is enough to kill Jericho. This can give a glimpse of the strength of the lord-level fierce general Zhao Yun, which can only be described as terrifying.
Zhao Yun may not be as explosive as Guan Yu, but his strength lies in protracted battles. With exquisite linkage skills, the longer Zhao Yun fights, the higher his chances of victory. From this point of view, Li Shuyi's "Wind and Thunder Combo"
", the word "wind" in it should be on Zhao Yun's body, his movements are like wind, dense and all-pervasive.
At this time, there are still ten seconds before "Zhao Yun's mark" disappears!
Within ten seconds, Li Shuyi once again launched a series of combos, cutting off one of the legs of the leader of the Terror Knights, Jericho, causing him to fall to the ground.
Although the duration of "Zhao Yun's Mark" has ended, Jericho has become a toothless tiger at this time and no longer has any ability to resist.
"Li Shuyi stays and kills Jericho! Everyone else, pay attention, use the Wolf King's Claw as the vanguard and attack the western tower! After killing Ma Qi, the undead army will have no commander, and we will win!" Bai Xiaowen's
The voice, transmitted through mental power, clearly rang in the ears of Li Shuyi, Bonita, Kitts and others.
Kitts was stunned, and then secretly complained: Didn’t the Lord Lord say that March is about to die? Now that the minute is almost up, why does it feel like the Lord Lord is about to be unable to hold on...
However, Kitz is a smart man. After the initial daze, he quickly raised the giant sword in his hand and shouted: "Brothers, charge me! Support the lord boss!"
A dozen elite bandits, led by Raging Claw, formed a sharp formation, followed by a group of ordinary bandits, servants and civilian guards. They fought through waves of undead guards and rushed towards the west tower.
.
At this time, Bai Xiaowen had already fallen into the siege of the undead guards. Lord Ma Qi finally distanced himself from him, panting heavily and began to cast spells.
deterrence!
The cooldown time of Bai Xiaowen's deterrent skill of 4 minutes and 30 seconds finally passed. He activated it immediately, which not only interrupted Lord Ma Qi's skill, but also put the other undead guards into a state of fear.
Seizing this opportunity, Bai Xiaowen rushed out of the encirclement of the undead guards. However, he did not rush to join the bandit guards. Instead, he rushed directly in front of Ma Qi, raised his foot and kicked with the same move (Seventy-five
(Style modification), kicked Ma Qi in the direction of Raging Claw!
Before Ma Qi even hit the ground, Angry Claw roared and flew forward!
The ultimate suppression move is activated!
Then... there was no more. During the 3-second suppression period, Ma Qi had to endure the ravages of a group of elite bandits, as well as Bai Xiaowen who turned on the continuous fire mode... He himself is a crispy spellcaster, and his life
Most of the value was consumed by Bai Xiaowen, how could he still sustain so much damage?
"Damn...I...I was promised eternal life..."
March struggled to raise his hand, but was unable to lower it. The evil lord wizard who opened his territory to plague spreaders and voluntarily turned into a lich finally died.
After losing three leaders one after another, the undead legions of the Hongye Leader fought on their own like headless flies. The undead outside Hongye City even began to flee, and in their desire for life, they attacked the Hongye Leader.
Vast villages spread.
However, the undead in the periphery are all servant-level weaklings. They are just for the strong farmers and adventurers in the village to find something to do, so they are not a problem.
The elite undead soldiers in the central square had become a piece of scattered sand. Under Bai Xiaowen's unified command, they were easily divided, surrounded, and annihilated one by one.
After wiping out the main force of the undead army, Bai Xiaowen ordered ten guards to disperse and sweep the entire city.
Soon, a prompt message sounded:
"You have controlled more than 75% of Hongye City."
"Please choose: occupy, abandon or destroy Hongye City?"
"Special reminder: You will be questioned by the empire because of your attack on Hongye City."
"Abandoning Red Leaf City will subject you to general questioning. As long as you give reasonable reasons and obtain the approval of more than half of the lords in Northern Xinjiang, you will be exempt from imperial interference."
"Destroying Hongye City will subject you to important questions. You need to give appropriate reasons and obtain the understanding of the imperial envoy to avoid imperial interference."
"Occupying Red Leaf City will subject you to severe questioning. Even if you give appropriate reasons, the empire may still interfere and force you to leave this territory."
Bai Xiaowen thought for a while.
"These three options are also important. No matter how you attack Hongye City, it violates the laws of the empire. Giving up Hongye City can reduce the crime to a minimum, but there is no profit. Destroying Hongye City can loot a batch of property
, but the crime is relatively serious. The final occupation of Hongye City is tantamount to annexing another lord's territory by force, which will inevitably arouse the empire's high vigilance..."
Bai Xiaowen didn't think for long before he chose the "occupy" option.
Imperial envoy? Interference? It doesn't matter, we have someone above us!
As for who is on top, it depends on the actual situation... Who is more interested in the threat of the "Undead Plague"? Whether it is Archbishop Arlo or Prince Nicholas, I believe they are both willing to pay for this "heroic side mission"
A good price.
However, what makes Bai Xiaowen a little confused is that although No. 01 has been killed and the original undead plague nest of the White Stone Leader has been removed, the hero-level side mission step 1 "The Truth of the Plague" has not been transmitted for a long time.
Tips for completion.
Bai Xiaowen thought about it carefully, and immediately ordered his bandits to capture a few undead slaves from the Red Leaf Territory and cast the mind-bewitching spell.
"That's it." After reading the memory fragments of an undead slave, Bai Xiaowen opened his eyes.
He took Li Shuyi and others, turned around and walked towards the collapsed lord's mansion, bypassing the ruins of the front hall and reaching the backyard.
In front of a manhole cover with a diameter of one meter, Bai Xiaowen squatted down and twisted the turntable on the manhole cover. With a soft rumble, the manhole cover rotated open, revealing a downward staircase passage.
Bai Xiaowen took Bonita and Li Shuyi to the underground through the staircase passage.
"Wow! Okay, what a big underground palace!"
Bonita showed an amazed expression.
Ahead is an underground hall with many culture containers. When you walk in, you can see that the containers are filled with some light green liquid, soaking a humanoid experimental body, all of which are naked.
There are many instruments on the spacious experimental table, as well as stacks of thick written materials... These are experimental records. Judging from the date, this place has been a research site for the undead plague for nearly a year.
.
The spirit world rules prompt message came:
"You discovered the underground research institute for the undead plague located in Red Leaf City."
"[Heroic side quest step 1: The truth about the plague] completed. Completion evaluation: a (excellent)."
"Please go to Black Rock Fortress, look for Archbishop Arlo or Prince Nicholas, get the mission reward and proceed to the next mission."
Bai Xiaowen's experience tank increased significantly, quickly rising to 94%! You must know that before he attacked Red Leaf City, his experience tank was only a little over 60%. This hero-level side mission step 1 (level b) allows the experience to increase
More than 30%.
There is a threshold to upgrade from level 3 to level 4, and the required experience value has increased significantly. Many awakened people have to go through several spiritual world explorations before they can complete the upgrade.
It can be seen that the benefits of hero-level missions are really huge. This is only the reward in terms of combat experience. Three boss-level treasure chests, a dozen elite treasure chests, and more than twenty ordinary treasure chests are still waiting for Bai Xiaowen and the two of them.
It's turned on.
Although the treasure chest is inevitably a little wet because the bandits participated in the attack, the quantity is huge, and the power points alone can make a fortune.
Moreover, when you hand in the task, you will definitely get a huge reward, which makes me a little excited just thinking about it.
Li Shuyi's combat experience gauge has also increased to 89%. Due to the different combat experience required for upgrading, her upgrade speed will definitely gradually catch up with and surpass Bai Xiaowen.
Bai Xiaowen suddenly thought of something, and he summoned Dr. Zombie again.
"I said, can you please stop calling me back in the future? As a zombie with independent consciousness and independent personality, I very much reject the kind of summoning space where I can't do anything. It's like a confinement." Dr. Zombie came out for the first time.
In a word, it is a complaint.
"This is for your own good. You probably don't know how brutal today's battle was. The four skeleton sword and shield bearers and the shadow assassins were all killed. The bandit army I recruited also lost dozens of people. If I don't recall you,
, you may have to wait for the 12 hours of resurrection time." Bai Xiaowen said.
However, after Dr. Zombie saw the surrounding situation clearly, he had already dismissed Bai Xiaowen's words.
"Wow, what did I see? A complete underground research institute! Although the equipment here is full of magical style, the materials are relatively primitive, and there are no sophisticated instruments... but it is enough! This is my research institute
!”
"To be precise, it's mine, at least in terms of property rights," Bai Xiaowen corrected, "However, I generously grant you the right to use it."
Dr. Zombie curled his lips.
"I think there should be some progress in researching the undead plague here, right?" Bai Xiaowen pointed to a thick stack of written materials on the experimental table, "I just took a look, and all the experimental records are there.
"
Dr. Zombie became excited again and began to look through the experimental materials.
"Well, it turns out that the purpose of this research institute is to improve the undead plague virus to make it more contagious," Dr. Zombie muttered, "and to conduct further research on becoming an undead race after infection and mutation...
...Good guy, the previous owner of the research institute actually wanted to create a giant infectious body, whose scientific name is... the abscess giant? What a genius idea..."
"This research institute is simply a concentration camp for sin!" Bonita said angrily. She rarely stopped stuttering. "We should report it to the archbishop and use the holy fire to purify everything here!"
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said: "Stupid. The purpose of exploring darkness is to defend the light. Every page here is precious enemy intelligence. Only fools will burn them. Only by understanding the secret of the undead plague can we
Make an antidote and save those humans who have the plague virus lurking in their bodies but have not yet broken out."
Bonita's momentum froze: "Well, let's just assume you are right. I'm not stupid. I... I'm just angry."
Bai Xiaowen looked at Dr. Zombie: "How is it? How long will it take to make an antidote to the undead plague?"
Dr. Zombie thought for a while, shook his head and said: "It's very difficult. Even if I am a top-notch scientific...erudite, it will take at least three days to read these experimental reports and grasp their progress before starting.
Making an antidote is even more uncertain. It could take a week if it's short, or it could take a month or two without any results if it's long."
"It's too slow. You are a zombie now and don't need to rest. Make the antidote within five days. This is my second order this month," Bai Xiaowen said. "If you can do it, then the antidote will be made within five days."
Three orders will save you."
"Tch..." Dr. Zombie curled his lips and muttered in a low voice, "So, I hate all amateurs, amateur bosses, amateur bureaucrats, amateur investors..."
"Huh? What?" Bai Xiaowen raised his head.
"Nothing, I...work hard to complete this task," Dr. Zombie said, and then started asking people, "Are there any other instructions? If not, I have to start working. By the way, remember to bring more experimental samples.
.”
"Sample?" Bai Xiaowen was slightly startled.
"It's just human samples," Dr. Zombie said lightly, "from the human samples that were just infected, to the samples that were infected for three days, the samples that were seven days old, and the samples that are on the verge of mutation... Only with enough samples can I master it as soon as possible.
Characteristics of the Undead Plague.”
"How can I identify it?" Bai Xiaowen said.
"Can't you just pass that Holy Light plague detector?" Dr. Zombie said, "The virus incubates for different times, and the brightness of the green light seems to be different. If you find it troublesome, just grab a healthy sample for me.
If I temporarily infect them, increasing the dose can also have the effect of observation and comparison..."
"That's enough, I will catch enough samples for you. You are prohibited from conducting experiments on healthy human subjects without my order." Bai Xiaowen warned.
The way Bonita looks at Dr. Zombie has changed from looking at one thing to looking at many things...
She muttered: "I don't want to stay here." and hurriedly left the underground research institute.
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi did not leave. After Dr. Zombie started to get busy, they took out the treasure box and planned to have a happy treasure box opening and big prize draw activity to relax their tired spirits.
