Hechuang Industrial Park.

Apart from the occasional shrill cold wind, there was only the sound of chewing.

Ghosts from all directions came first through the wall.

They gathered on the ghost scorpion to observe this demon species, and were ready to activate the earth binding at any time.

And Qi Lin's consciousness descended on the ghost Lao Jiu and quietly waited for the arrival of the black warrior.

Generally speaking, demons are territorial in nature.

They will stay in their territory and fight against any creature that dares to invade their territory.

But there are also some demon species with different natures, and they like to wander and hunt.

"The blood vines from before could have come from the ground."

"But where did this ghost scorpion come from?"

"Is there some unknown power in the mist that can send these demons in?"

Qi Lin controlled the ghost and looked up at the dark skyline in the distance.

Within the white mist, waves of blood surged out from time to time.

Those bloody waves sometimes turn into some kind of weird snarling fangs and claws.

Combined with the pale moonlight, it has a bit of a horror movie atmosphere.

Regarding this fog, Qi Lin only knew that it was used by the will of the planet to divide the war zones.

But what does a specific war zone mean and why are war zones divided?

And what will become of the human territories within those mists?

I am afraid that Qi Lin will only know this when he fights his way out of Nanzhili.

Before the demon species attacked the city in the previous life, all major forces on the human side had tried hard to enter the mist, thereby interrupting the gathering of orders from the powerful demon species inside.

But unfortunately, except for the female sniper from the military, everyone was killed.

All the people sent by the forces died in the mist.

This disaster is no longer a disaster for a certain country or a certain region.

This is a sudden disaster for all mankind.

Either life or death.

"That businessman is an outsider. Maybe we can try to get some information from him."

Within the soul link, Qi Lin sensed that the Black Warrior had arrived at a nearby building, and immediately switched consciousness.

During the change of vision, he descended on the black warrior.

Take out the reconnaissance totem and target the ghost scorpion to launch reconnaissance.

【Demon Species】: Ghost Scorpion

[Status]: Sub-level demon species, in the growth stage.

Note: Sub-level demons are the weakest type of demons among regular demons.

The two most significant classification characteristics of sub-level monsters are: they are either extremely fragile monsters, or they are the larvae or summons of other higher-level monsters.

[Occupation]: None

[Level]: 11 (Vitality 23.7%) (Bronze level)

[Physique]: 14

[Spirit]: 1

[Talent]: Soul-taking, Corruption

Note: The ghost face totem on the back of the Ghost Scorpion gives it the ability to frighten the soul and will reduce the enemy's mental attributes during combat.

Note: The ghost scorpion is actually a carrion-eating monster. Its mutated digestive system cannot accept fresh flesh and blood. Therefore, it often clamps its prey first, injects venom with its tail until the prey rots and withers, and then uses its tentacle-covered claws to inject venom into the prey. The mouthparts slowly suck up the remains of prey.

The mouthparts of the ghost scorpion also contain a small amount of venom, but unlike the highly venom in its tail, this venom can paralyze the prey, interfere with and corrode the nerve structure, and make the prey lose its ability to resist.

Note: Ghost scorpions live in dark caves, and their already poor eyesight is degraded again. Please be sure to limit the sound and light to avoid being attacked by groups of ghost scorpions.

[Skills]: Cyclonus, Toxin Explosion

Note: After the Ghost Scorpion discovers the light, it will start a mad dash, with its basic physical attributes increased by 30%, and its speed and defense attributes increased by an additional 14 points.

Note: The Ghost Scorpion injects toxins into the enemy's body. If necessary, it will consume all remaining physical strength, thereby detonating the toxin and causing nerve disintegration damage to the enemy.

After reading the investigation information, Qi Lin looked at the ghost scorpion's tail needle and the ghost face on its back.

"This kind of venom has been processed and processed, and can be used very well in battles and hunting. The demon hunters who entered the city to hunt in the previous life liked this kind of stuff very much."

"But I don't think I can use this thing now. I might as well leave it on the corpse and add some soul fire."

"And this back armor, why do you remember it is white?"

"Forget it, the main damage of this thing comes from the toxin explosion. I guess the undead are not afraid of this."

After Qi Lin thought for a moment, he immediately ordered to the Black Warrior: "Solve it. I won't let other undead take action for the time being to prove your existence to me."

Qi Lin made up his mind to take a practical test of the Black Warrior.

Know thyself, ever-victorious.

After all, the notes on the page can only be used as a reference. He needs to know the detailed actual combat situation in order to better allocate the position of the Black Warrior in the future Scourge Legion.

"I will obey my emperor's will!"

The Black Warrior placed the Scout Totem on the ground and jumped from the broken window of the building.

On the balcony of a high-rise building.

Lieutenant Xu suddenly heard the sound of breaking glass coming from somewhere.

In the dark environment of deathly silence, such a sound seemed so deafening.

Lieutenant Xu looked up and found that in the direction of the sound, a large amount of soul fire was flashing!

"It's the Skeleton Man!"

"The Skeletons are coming to our rescue!"

"My bet was right!"

For a moment, Lieutenant Xu was overjoyed.

With the help of the skeleton, he has hope of completing the escort mission.

However, he thought that the ghost scorpion seemed to be very relaxed when it killed the advanced mutant.

Lieutenant Xu felt worried for a while.

What if the skeletons can't solve it?

That would not only harm the other party, but people like yourself would also be destroyed.

Thinking about this, Lieutenant Xu quickly turned his head and looked at the youngest member of his team behind him.

"Qi Shaohui!"

Following Lieutenant Xu's low voice, the young man in his early twenties immediately responded: "Yes!"

"Next, you will be the captain. The task of protecting Dr. Zhan is entrusted to you. Even if you are crawling, you must send the doctor to the military headquarters!"

After Lieutenant Xu finished speaking, regardless of the young soldier's confusion, he quickly ordered to the other team members:

"Everyone else has it. Pack up your equipment and we'll go down."

Lieutenant Xu said while quickly sorting out his magazines and firearms.

After loading the ammunition into the warehouse, he threw his firearm to a team member and signaled the opponent's general to hand him the weapon.

"Captain." The team member looked a little panicked.

The team members know very well that in battles with these devils, close combat often accounts for the majority of casualties.

The casualties are at this point where there is a lack of medical treatment.

That means death.

Lieutenant Xu's actions were undoubtedly to protect himself and allow him to carry out output from the rear while he rushed to the front.

"Stop fucking and whining, hurry up!"

Lieutenant Xu knew that time was running out, so he snatched the team member's spurs, then rushed to the group of survivors and whispered:

"I saw a lot of will-o'-the-wisps flashing, and the skeletons came to support us. We can't just watch, we have to go down and help!"

Lieutenant General Xu handed his hand to one of the Level 3 survivors, and then said to everyone: "We must unite. One more person means more strength."

Before he finished speaking, a survivor looked frightened and waved his hand to signal Lieutenant Xu to keep his voice down.

"Aren't you soldiers? We are just ordinary people. You can just go. Why are you holding us back?"

"Yes, yes, we are only at level one and two, so we can't compare to you. If we go there, we might not be able to hold you back!"

Many survivors whispered in low voices:

"When those skeletons go fight that big scorpion, it won't be too late for us to go down after they finish!"

"Yes! If they both lose, we can still get a bargain. Seeing how easily the scorpion kills the blood cow, we should be able to reveal a lot of good things."

"Don't look at me like that. People who are not of my race must have different minds!"

Lieutenant Xu stared at the injured survivor who said he would wait for Qi Lin and Demon Seed. He lowered his head and muttered:

"Don't you understand this?"

"You saw them transporting corpses before. Who knows if those skeletons will?"

"That's enough!" Lieutenant Xu felt anger rising in his heart.

According to military orders, their target is a high-value figure, Dr. Zhan.

The explicit order did not say that we should refuse to rescue ordinary survivors.

But before setting off, an unfamiliar superior came to them and gave them some words: The world has changed, remember not to create extraneous problems, and don't waste your efforts to rescue ordinary survivors who are asking for help.

No matter how many people you save, it's better to bring back Dr. Zhan!

The existence of the Doctor can help us avoid many deaths!

But at the time, these young and energetic team members did not agree with this statement.

The education they received tells them that they cannot turn a blind eye to the people who support them and do nothing to save them.

At that time, the superior told them a short story, and soon the group of team members fell into silence.

Before the disaster, in the desert, ordinary people A and Jack Ma were dying of thirst. They wanted to buy two bottles of water from you.

How do you price it?

None of these team members came up with an answer. They didn't understand what their superiors meant by this.

But soon, the superior's self-centered answer made everyone understand why.

Pricing?

Simple, pour out the water.

Not a bottle will be sold to them!

This is the highest price.

Because there is no water, ordinary person A will die, and Jack Ma will die too.

Even if you sell a bottle of water for a higher price, can it still be higher than Jack Ma's entire net worth?

So, dump it all!

A bottle of water in exchange for his life!

This is the theoretically highest price!

Some team members angrily pointed out that if the water is poured out, they will also die. Your question itself is problematic.

Lieutenant Xu will never forget the meaningful joke made by his superior: Sorry, if compared with Ma Yun's life.

Whether it's your life or mine,

Or maybe my superiors take orders from their superiors.

All are almost too cheap to be worth mentioning.

Now the world has changed, and all the wealth, power, status, etc. of the past have to give way to the hope of mankind. You just need to do the order well. Don’t forget your identity and don’t be disturbed by personal emotions. Throughout the dynasties, sacrifices have been made in the war. All of you, you can only win this war by obeying orders and following orders.

The rescue team set off with a heavy heart.

But maybe it's because of the military reorganization.

Whether it was Lieutenant Xu, the original captain and all the team members.

When they encountered survivors, they still extended a helping hand if they were able to rescue them.

For this reason, their trips and supplies were repeatedly delayed and consumed.

Before he died, the original captain said: Soldiers have a bounden duty to obey orders. I failed to do this in this task. I turned to my conscience.

But, I think it's worth it.

Lieutenant Xu's mind flashed back to the captain's words before he died, and the sight of his comrades dying one after another flashed through his mind.

My thoughts are filled with the ups and downs from the beginning to this point.

There is also the intertwining, conflict and collision of duty and conscience all the time!

In this critical moment that concerns everyone's life and death.

Lieutenant Xu finally couldn't suppress his anger and shouted at the survivor:

"Are you afraid of useless??!"

"It's our turn next!"

"Do you want to withdraw temporarily, or do you want to fight out together?"

"We are on the same boat now! What the fuck is wrong with you?!"

In the last sentence, Lieutenant Xu pointed at the survivor who wanted to watch the tiger fight from a distance, so that the snipe and the clam would compete with each other and the fisherman would benefit.

Lieutenant Xu was angry.

Very angry.

He felt that some of the words his superiors had spoken before leaving were correct.

But no matter what Lieutenant Xu said, these survivors always lay there motionless like turtles.

"You guys." Lieutenant Xu gritted his back molars, suddenly stood up and said to his team members: "Let's go!"

Several team members strode downstairs without hesitation to support the skeleton man.

They remained silent, just arranging their equipment silently.

They did not question Lieutenant Xu why he did this.

Why die?

"Qi Shaohui, from now on you are the captain."

Lieutenant Xu's words disappeared into the darkness of the stairs.

The young soldier's hand holding the gun was trembling.

Along the way, comrades died one after another.

Only the youngest one was left standing in the cold wind.

My lips were trembling, and I had nothing to say.

At this moment, Dr. Zhan rushed to the balcony, unfolded his notebook and was about to record precious data.

Suddenly, he saw someone walking in the distance.

people?

Dr. Zhan isn’t sure either.

But soon he was sure.

A flame suddenly burst out from that figure!

That's a sword.

A silver sword with a simple yet elegant hilt and cross guard.

There are devouring flames dancing on it.

And the owner of the silver sword.

It was a man wearing a high-quality suit.

A man whose face was covered with a scarf embroidered with gold patterns.
