Nicole was quite shocked after hearing David recount the experience of the scout team. Although her expression could not be seen through the mask, looking at her wide open mouth, one could tell how surprised she was.
Dong Xie also heard their words from the side, and he immediately realized...the apartment began to relax restrictions on supernatural spirits.
The previous experience inside the wall was just an appetizer. Now, the real horror begins.
He began to rub his hands. His hands had been peeling very badly recently and they felt extremely rough to the touch.
Although there are many corpse exterminators in this team, Dong Xie knows very well that they are likely to face mutant spirits that even powerful figures like Reeve Char can't deal with.
Sure enough, Murphy's law is true. The more you are afraid of something, it will come to you.
"Change the direction of travel and choose another place to set up camp. There will definitely be no way to continue advancing tonight."
David must prioritize the safety of this team. He knows very well that the team has gathered the elite of the Black Corpse Team and many experienced corpse chasers. Once all are lost, the number of corpse chasers inside the wall will drop sharply.
,The consequences could be disastrous.
…
The team began to advance along the west side. Although this detour will increase the distance, it can ensure safety.
The sky is getting darker and darker.
At around seven o'clock, the team selected the location of the camp and began to set up tents and set up sentries.
Sitting in a large marching tent that could accommodate many people, David opened the thermos and took a sip of hot tea, then looked at the map on the table to determine their general location.
A point appeared on the map, which was the area where the horses had not dared to advance before.
"Nicole," David raised his head and said to Nicole Xia who was sitting next to him: "What is certain is that there is no such precedent in the records that can be tested at present. And the ones assigned to us this time are the best.
A good breed of horse. This kind of horse is not only fast, but also fierce. And, the most important thing is... the alien spirit has no desire to attack people and creatures without masks."
Animals are different from humans. Even if they don’t wear masks, their lives are not in danger. Only the animals that were transferred to the wall with the earliest humans will breed offspring wearing masks. The horses currently in the wall are all originally
They are native species that live here. Therefore, these animals do not have a fear of strange spirits in their genes.
"Their fear is probably a biological instinct." Nicole expressed her opinion: "Creatures have been reproduced through cruel natural selection, and the perception of danger is imprinted in their genes."
The earliest concept of genes in humans originated from the theory of genetics proposed by Mendel in the 19th century. People who were transferred to the wall by some mysterious theory lost most of their memories, but their knowledge of science and engineering was inherited.
, the difference is that they only know about genetic genes, but do not remember the existence of Mendel. They know the laws of mechanics, but do not know about Newton and Galileo.
"Many of the ancestors of these horses were captured outside the wall and brought inside the wall to breed." Nicole continued: "If this is the case, then they..."
"I hate unknown situations the most."
Although David has rich experience, experience is not omnipotent.
He sighed, and then said: "Nicole, the most troublesome thing is that if this is a mutation..."
As soon as the word mutation came out, Nicole was also startled.
"I hope not." David scratched his head, "In that case..."
Having said this, he walked out of the marching tent in front of him.
The sky was completely dark, but snowflakes were still falling.
"I really don't understand what the people in the council are thinking." David looked into the distance and murmured: "Do they really think it is possible for us to find the golden mask outside the wall? With such turmoil inside the wall,
, sending so many corpse chasers outside the wall?"
Nicole also walked out of the tent and said: "Now, the only thing we can do..."
At this time, a team member from a distance ran over.
"General Leader David!" He reported to David: "White masks have been arranged around here. Even if a strange spirit approaches, it will be transported to a farther area by space."
"Well done. Even so, you still have to be cautious. Dell's return makes me very concerned."
He was just about to ask the other party to go back to his post first, when suddenly, he thought of something else.
"Have Blake and Zolay come to my tent."
"yes!"
Dong Xie and his mother Ziyi were called to David's tent.
"I'll be honest with you two."
David was very straightforward and didn't say a word of nonsense.
"I hope you two can act close to me this time." David's words surprised Dong Xie: "Of course, this also means that you will face more dangers."
"Why……"
"I can't trust anyone. But the two of you who were completely private people before, I believe you will not be the people inserted into the team by the government. Frankly speaking, this expedition plan is too strange. I don't understand why the congressmen chose this time.
Let us take back the Golden Mask."
"Although we are from the common people," Mu Ziyi's words were quite sharp: "There is also the possibility of being bribed."
"But maybe the least." David replied: "I don't have many people who can really be called close relatives. Because I never know whether there will be another person behind the mask."
Having said this, he added: "Of course, you two already have higher-level masks than me, so I have no right to give you orders. This is just a suggestion."
"I understand." Dong Xie naturally wanted him. The other party was rich in experience, and his hope of survival naturally doubled when he was with him.
This may very well be the last favor the condominium pays them.
As a result, Dong Xie and his mother Ziyi also lived in the tent next to them.
If the two of them wanted to act like they didn't know each other, there would always be flaws. In the end, Dong Xie and Mu Ziyi pretended to be husband and wife. The advantage of this is that it wouldn't be strange even if they were inseparable. But because of this... they just
Naturally, they were assigned to the same tent.
At this time, it was already past ten o'clock in the night.
Dong Xie opened the tent slightly, and there were always people on guard outside. Once something happened, the people in the camp could act quickly.
"Don't expect anything," Mu Ziyi said from behind Dong Xie: "If the alien spirit comes, 90% of the people here will die. They can survive today because the apartment did not kill them. You and I are both.
We know how terrifying an evil spirit worthy of our number of Scary Words can be. So far, the restrictions on evil spirits in the apartment are so great that they are almost the same as the first Scary Word mission, right?"
indeed.
"Foreign spirits" are too weak compared to the evil spirits currently recorded in the Blood Letter mission. The so-called zombie exorcist can drive them away by wearing a mask so that they cannot kill easily. Not to mention the inability to teleport, action
The speed is actually not much faster than ordinary people.
It’s not enough for new residents to practice their first Scarlet Mission.
This contrast is not normal at all. Dong Xie also realized that sooner or later, this balance would be broken.
Therefore, even though there were so many people standing guard outside, Dong Xie and Mu Ziyi decided to take turns keeping watch.
Meet this bloody mission, the real horror.
At this moment, suddenly...
On the north side, a red light suddenly shot up into the sky.
Flare gun!
This means there is a supernatural invasion!
You know, there are white masks that can be transferred in space all around the camp, but the alien spirit still invades?
Dong Xie suddenly became nervous, but the white mask he wore inside didn't sense any abnormalities.
Seeing the flare, everyone in the camp reacted immediately.
"Quick! Move quickly!"
"There is a strange spirit...is it a Face Melter?"
"Don't act rashly yet." Mu Ziyi suggested: "These people can be used as life clues provided by the apartment for us. Don't take risks on the front line for the time being. I estimate that we should soon relax the restrictions in the apartment and let the evil spirits escape."
It’s time to go on a killing spree.”
Inside David's tent.
He was still calm at this time. As the team leader, he could not show panic.
After issuing a few orders, everyone left the tent except Dale.
"David, I have something to report to you. There is something I forgot to tell you about the horses before."
"What?"
"That's it."
The candles cast the shadows of David and Dale on the tent, and at this moment, the neck of Dale's shadow suddenly began to lengthen rapidly, and then landed on David's head!
