Chen Xing walked into the nearest conjoined building. There were footprints everywhere on the corridor, and the rotten door was opened. Shining a flashlight inside, it was rummaged inside, and it had obviously been searched.
It was pitch dark all around, and I could only rely on the light of a flashlight. The mist lingering in the incandescent beam was the hot breath exhaled by Chen Xing. The temperature here is very low, close to minus fifty degrees. Without the light and heat of the star, only endless darkness and coldness remain.
After walking around, Chen Xing found a lot of broken bones and bullet casings scattered everywhere. It is not difficult to see that there was a battle here, and it should have been caused by the mercenaries in front.
Not long after, Chen Xing exited the conjoined building, judged the opponent's direction of action from the footprints, and then explored in the opposite direction. He didn't want to meet the other party unexpectedly. In order to keep the secret, there was a high probability that a bloody conflict would occur.
Although judging from the opponent's equipment and performance, he should not be his opponent, he did not want to do unnecessary killings.
Looking around, this is a commercial street with buildings of varying heights on both sides. After walking for a while, several figures suddenly appeared from the corner of the street, making a "gragra" sound and rushing towards Chen Xing.
Their movements are not slow, but their movements are a bit like those of lame people. They are covered with rags and are as skinny as wood. They run with a very strange limp. Rushing closer, their heads lit up with two balls of green fire, reflecting their pale skulls.
Skeletons!
Chen Xing did not rush to draw his gun, but turned around and struck the skull's head with a kick. With a "snap" sound, the skull flew away.
The headless skeleton seemed to have suddenly lost its support, and fell to the ground with a crash.
[Skeleton Soldier (Normal)*5]
[Vitality: 1/1]
[Talent ability: Resurrection, simple weapon use]
[Viruses that may be carried: none]
A detection message flashed on the screen. There is no satellite signal here. For the convenience of fighting, Chen Xing turned on the black watch.
Skeleton soldiers are the lowest level of evil spirits. They will pick up things everywhere and use them as weapons, such as stones, bricks, iron bars, sticks, living knives, etc. They are very weak, worse than corpse-eating dogs.
Chen Xing smashed the remaining four skeletons into pieces with one glance. But as soon as he turned his head, the bones scattered on the ground rolled up and came together to form a skeleton soldier again.
"Kekeke..."
The skeleton's jaw vibrated rapidly, and the incomplete teeth collided with each other, making regular sounds.
Immediately afterwards, countless figures appeared. Street corners, upstairs windows, rooftops, and sewers are all densely packed and countless.
The power of the skeleton lies in its huge base and regeneration ability. As long as the chaotic magic energy in the bones is not exhausted, it can be reborn infinitely.
After kicking away several skeletal soldiers that rushed over, Chen Xing immediately realized that such terrain and fighting methods were too physically demanding. He didn't want to use firearms. In such an environment, gunfire and fire could travel several kilometers. He didn't want to be exposed yet, so he could only use close combat.
After looking around, his eyes first fell on the traffic warning sign on the side of the road, and then moved to a tall building with more than ten floors. This building is the tallest building in the neighborhood. After selecting the target, he quickly rushed forward, kicked away the approaching skeletal soldiers, grabbed the rusty traffic sign, and kicked it hard with his feet.
"Crack!" The cement joints snapped. Chen Xing grabbed the pole of the traffic sign with both hands, like a sword, and swept towards the skeletal soldiers surrounding him.
The skeleton soldier fell instantly. Chen Xing turned around and rushed towards the tall building. The heavily corroded door opened with a kick, and he ran up the stairs.
His agility is as high as 38 points, and his speed is far faster than ordinary people. He quickly jumped to the top of the building. At first glance, there are many rusty air conditioners. He immediately put down the traffic sign, grabbed an air conditioner, ran to the stairs and smashed it down.
After more than a dozen trips back and forth, the corridor was temporarily blocked by the air conditioner and broken bones that had been smashed underneath.
"Kekeke..."
As soon as he took a breath, there was the sound of bones vibrating behind him. Turning around, I saw several skeletons climbing up the outer wall to the rooftop. He grabbed the traffic signs and swept them downstairs.
The skeletal soldier fell from a high altitude and his bones shattered all over the ground. Chen Xing soon discovered that it took a long time for the fallen skeletal soldiers to regroup. It seemed that the chaotic magic energy in the bones was about to be exhausted.
Next, Chen Xing guarded the rooftop. The skeleton's IQ was very low, not even comparable to that of mammals, even insects. It had no flexibility at all. It climbed up to the rooftop one after another, and then was swept down by Chen Xing and smashed to pieces.
"Ta-ta-ta!" "Ta-ta-ta!" "Ta-ta-ta!"
Suddenly, gunshots were heard in the distance, accompanied by flashes of fire. Chen Xing swept away a skeletal soldier who had just climbed up, took out his binoculars and looked over.
But after looking for a long time, I found nothing. Human eyes have limits after all. In extremely dark and quiet environments, although we can see distant firelight, we cannot see specific things.
But what is certain is that the mercenaries fought.
Twenty minutes later, the last skeletal soldier fell downstairs, shattered into bones, and never moved again. Chen Xing sat down a little tiredly. His physique was too low and his physical strength recovered slowly.
He unscrewed the water bottle, drank some water, and sat quietly. The gunfire in the distance has subsided, and the battle over there is probably over.
After resting for half an hour, Chen Xing began to search layer by layer. This building was a private house. Chen Xing kicked in the door and swept the room with his flashlight. He saw two mummies in the corner, probably the original owners.
Not all corpses will be resurrected. If the scholars' analysis is correct, then the corpses will only be resurrected when the chaos magic energy impacts.
Chen Xing took a stick and poked the body, but it pierced the body. After a long period of weathering, the body had completely dried up and was as fragile as paper. Then, Chen Xing turned on a flashlight and searched around the house.
After a while, he found a gold necklace.
[Gold necklace, made by unknown process, about 22 grams, purity unknown]
[Market price valuation: unknown]
This is an alien item. There is no record in Black Watch's database, so its manufacturing process cannot be determined. Collectibles in this world will display "Pre-Cataclysm Craftsmanship", and the approximate price can be estimated based on historical transaction records.
There was a safe in the closet. Chen Xing couldn't pry it open for a long time, so he gave up. When he walked out of the bedroom, he saw the corpse's hand flashing, and then squatted down to check.
[Platinum diamond ring, made by unknown process, about 11 grams, purity unknown]
[Market price valuation: unknown]
The corpse's fingers were broken when broken. Chen Xing took off the diamond ring and put it in his pocket. Turning around, he thought that according to human convention, the wedding rings were a pair, so he checked the body of the male owner.
[Platinum ring, made by unknown process, about 16 grams, purity unknown]
[Market price valuation: unknown]
After loading his things, Chen Xing went to the next house and kicked in the door...
