Near Dashu Mountain, the highest point of the Kaifu Temple complex.
Two men in camouflage uniforms lay motionless.
They were covered in snow-white camouflage.
At a cursory glance it is as unremarkable as the snow on top of nearby buildings.
"Monitor, there's something wrong with the half-eaten corpse beast in the Xinhua School District library!"
The deputy wearing the private shoulder insignia whispered.
The squad leader next to him picked up his monocular telescope. At the extreme point of view, under the solar street light in front of the library door, a purple corpse beast was roaring up to the sky.
There is also a half-broken corpse at its feet, with broken bones in the exposed parts of the corpse.
There were no teeth marks, only broken black holes stained with bone marrow.
If Qi Lin were here, he would be able to tell that this corpse beast was undergoing three demonizations just based on its physical characteristics.
The corpse beast's three demonizations broke through the black iron level and became a level 10 bronze level existence.
Don't underestimate the rank promotion in the demon group. They are not like ordinary chosen ones. After promotion, they have nothing except one more assignable attribute.
Each time the demons are promoted, they will gain a new skill.
Whether they are demons or chosen ones, the gap between those with skills and those without skills is really too big.
The demonized branch of this corpse beast is one of the three most common: the swift corpse beast.
This corpse beast not only moves fast, but is also extremely powerful!
And also possesses primary wisdom!
Ordinary people will soon be overwhelmed by its phantom-like sprint of 100 meters. The ability of a single fast zombie is already hard to guard against.
If it is a group of fast zombies, it can be said to be capable of tearing up trains, building human ladders, and overturning cars.
It doesn't have much effect on this kind of zombie-like defense.
Even ordinary car iron sheets can be torn apart with one claw.
"Dongguai Dongguai, this is the monitoring point of Kaifu Temple in Shushan District, please call!"
The squad leader cranked the field telephone crank beside him and kept repeating in a low voice.
After the fog appeared, global communications were cut off.
Not only are ordinary smartphones unusable, but even satellite phones, primitive radio stations, wireless communication telephones, etc. have lost their original communication functions.
The monitoring points sent by the army can only use the most primitive field phones.
Before using this kind of phone, you need to shake the crank next to it to make its built-in generator generate current, so as to connect the phone and make a call.
In previous wars, among the important communication means for frontline troops to communicate with each other, if radio is compared to a main road, then this kind of wired telephone is a variety of branch roads, which connects various frontline troops on the battlefield.
"The call is connected, please speak to Kaifu Temple." A tired female voice came from the receiver.
"At 8.47 pm, the Xinhua School District Library discovered that the demon species had mutated three times. Its skin turned purple, its body shape shrunk significantly, its lower limbs were strong, and its upper limbs were slender but its fingers grew thicker. It is still unclear what its specialties are..."
The monitor paused and saw an incredible scene.
He quickly put down the telescope, wiped his wide-eyed eyes, and looked again.
Then he spoke very quickly: "Just now! That corpse beast actually flashed and rushed to the car that was starting next to the store in the distance, very fast!"
"With one claw, he accurately attacked the driver's door, and once he grabbed it, he tore the door and the person in half into two pieces!"
"It seems to have wisdom!"
"complete!"
If it were an ordinary corpse beast, it would just randomly attack cars when it heard any noise.
And this corpse beast actually attacked the driver's seat directly!
"The cave has been received, please continue to observe, over."
The phone hangs up.
The old squad leader carefully put down the phone. While holding up the binoculars, he took out the straw from his collar and prepared to stuff it into his dry and flaky mouth.
Suddenly he paused in his hand and handed the straw to the private next to him: "Drink some. I remember that your water bladder was scratched by the corpse beast when you came in the afternoon."
The deputy took the straw and sucked it impatiently, but he only took about three or four sips, and then hurriedly handed it back: "Squad leader, please drink some too. I haven't seen you drink since I started in the afternoon."
"Yeah." The squad leader, who was concentrating on the movements of the corpse beast in the telescope, took the straw and stuffed it into his mouth without looking.
"Speaking of which, I am lucky. Thanks to that water bag, otherwise I wouldn't be able to withstand that claw..." the deputy said thankfully.
"Talk less, observe more." The squad leader took two sips and stuffed the straw back into his collar.
Not only because of limited water resources, but also to avoid producing human waste.
After a while, the deputy who was looking at Shushan with a telescope was surprised: "Squad leader, that bronze skeleton has appeared again!"
"But...1.2.3..." The deputy paused and asked in confusion: "Huh? Why are there three more bodies behind you?"
"Huh? There is another one holding a...bow?"
The squad leader raised his eyebrows and moved slightly to look.
In the field of vision, four skeletons were quickly heading towards the temple.
The leader is a skeleton holding a sword and shield with a bronze-colored skeleton.
Behind them are two skeletons holding swords and bows walking side by side.
Finally, there is a bronze skeleton holding a sword and shield.
The squad leader frowned and tried to recall the activity patterns of these skeletons.
When we first saw it, there was only a bronze skeleton striding forward.
But every time they reached the temple where they were, they would turn back.
Then it came back again after about fifteen minutes.
This behavior continued three times.
In three times, he killed at least a dozen corpse beasts with varying degrees of demonization. This skeleton was like a god of death!
Others are running to safety, but this skeleton is better. It keeps patrolling back and forth like it is patrolling its territory, killing all the corpse beasts it finds!
But every time there was only one skeleton.
Why are there three more bodies now?
The deputy scratched his head and whispered: "Do you want to report to the superiors again?"
As early as the first time the skeleton appeared, the squad leader had already reported it once.
The reply above is: continue to observe.
When reporting for the second time, it was because it was discovered that these skeletons did not seem to be demon species!
Because, when a group of survivors who had fled from the center of the city were fleeing towards the airport in the northwest, some corpse beasts came out!
And that skeleton was like a shark that saw the smell of blood and rushed forward with a sword!
After killing the corpse beast, it ignored the various survivors who were trying to get close to him or running away.
Every time, the corpse beast is killed quickly and the corpse is dragged away!
The sword-wielding skeleton's sword was fast and accurate, destroying the brain tissue of the corpse beast...
As skilled as a professional!
After the second report, the reply above was still: continue to observe.
"It's only been less than an hour. Have you reported to it three times?"
The squad leader pursed his dry lips and hesitated.
It's not that these skeletons have no reporting value, but the Jin Dadi telephone distribution point where Dongguai is located is responsible for many monitoring points, and there are not many answering and summarizing personnel at the distribution point, so every call has to be queued.
Many times, your long and detailed report may just be inserted into the last words of another monitoring point when life and death are at stake...
There have been two reports about this skeleton in just one hour.
The monitor knew very well that these phone lines were piled up with human lives.
Before them, there had been six observers who had not yet arrived at their posts and met with misfortune just on the way to laying the line...
The two of them were the first observers at the Kaifu Temple observation point.
