421 An invisible ghost
the flashing dagger and throat crusher drew a sharp arc in the gray fog and cut off the hanging man’s arm.
Link furrowed his brows. He didn’t feel as carefree as he did when he cut through the flesh. Instead, he felt an indescribable difficulty when he cut through the flesh.
Link’s front foot landed on the ground, while the Prophet and Tang Jiu’s back foot fell, landing on their butts.
The macaw and wind-chasing Wolf were so scared that they took a few steps back when they saw the rotten arms on their bodies.
“Squat down!”
wind-chasing wolf and the macaw had never seen such a scene before, so they squatted on the ground without saying anything. Wind-chasing Wolf also skillfully held his head with his hands, like an old PK player who was caught off-site in an anti-prostitution fight.
the macaw squatted down first, but after that, it tilted its head and thought, ” AI, that’s not right! I’m not tall enough for the monsters in the gray fog to catch me. Even if I’m holding a camera rooster, it’s not enough. Why should I squat down?
He immediately got up and started to focus on the shoot.
The severed rotten arm seemed to still have some feeling.
Through the damaged skin tissue that was stuck together with flesh and blood, one could clearly see the blood vessels, muscles, and bones.
Wind-chasing fixed eye looked at his arm. The rotten part was irregular. The back of the hand could clearly see the bone, but the wrist was cut open. The flesh, blood, bones, and tendons were exposed. Then the arm was missing and empty, and the muscle tissue oozed a strange dark green liquid from time to time.
It was hard to imagine that such an arm actually had the terrifying strength to lift a player with its bare hands.
The Prophet and Tang Jiu, who had fallen to the ground, saw the forearms that were tightly holding onto their arms and immediately got up in fear.
However, as soon as it left the ground, link pressed it down again, and its butt hit the ground for a second time.
At this moment, above their heads, many more arms appeared in the gray fog, randomly grabbing something.
The ” low altitude ” that was only two meters high, the rotten arms dancing in the gray fog, and the temperature under their feet was as hot as the red Land of the desert at noon. The whole scene was extremely shocking and strange.
“W-what are these things? Link, what did you see when you went up?” The macaw asked as it raised its head to film. although it could fly, it would rather die than flap its wings after seeing this strange scene.
Link’s expression was serious as he raised his hand to signal for the macaw and the players to hide.
Link jumped into the gray fog for the second time. A whistle arrow flew out of his sleeve. This time, link landed with The Hanged Man.
The Hanged Man fell heavily to the ground. As his feet were tied and one of his arms had been cut off by link, he started wriggling like a maggot on the ground.
The hanging man did not have a lower jaw, and his tongue and mouth were completely exposed. It looked extremely terrifying.
One-third of his skull was missing, one of his eye sockets was extremely empty, and the other eye was also on the verge of collapse.
The macaw at the side gathered its courage and went forward to film. It stood on its tiptoes and looked into its skull, and it shivered.
He saw ...
Most of the brain was empty. The real brain had already shriveled and dried up, shrinking to the size of a walnut. There was also something that looked like a muscle tendon, barely hanging an eyeball. As The Hanged Man swung it violently, it gave off the feeling that the shriveled eyeball was about to break free at any time.
Other than that, one could clearly see that the left side of his chest had been completely hollowed out and pierced through.
“This is the heartless.” As soon as link finished speaking, a whistle arrow flew down from the gray fog and accurately nailed the heartless’s feet and hand to the ground.
the macaw was dumbfounded,’heartless? This thing’s brain is withered and it doesn’t have a heart. How did it survive?”
Link squatted down and examined it carefully. There were irregular cracks on the heartless’s ribs in the left atrium. The scabs around them seemed to have been torn apart. It seemed that an external force had pierced through his chest and taken his heart away.
“the so-called heartless, to be precise, are infected with the puppet virus. He didn’t need his brain to think, and he didn’t need his heart to provide him with energy. His entire body was completely dominated by the virus. The reason why it’s called the puppet virus is because once infected with this virus, the brain will shrink rapidly and be carried by the virus like a walking corpse.” Link looked up at the gray fog above him and cut down the arm.
Upon hearing that it was a virus, the macaw was so scared that its face turned pale. It was afraid that this thing would accidentally enter its body. If its intelligent brain shriveled to the size of a walnut and became a walking corpse, it would be a loss for the entire universe!
Link’s eyes were blank.
In his previous life, he had never heard of the golem virus in the quagmire of death!
In his previous life, this item first appeared in a public exhibition by a big collector of Faye. In the exhibition, there was a burial object from an old era.
As a result, some of the tourists and staff who participated in the exhibition were infected with the puppet virus. overnight, there was an outbreak of zombie puppets in Faye, and the number exceeded one million. All the infected people’s brains shrank and their hearts disappeared. Although the players and NPCs sent out their forces to suppress it in the end, there was no conclusion as to how this virus came about and where it came from.
This story took place at the end of version 1.0. When version 2.0 ended, players received a mission to return to the wasteland planet to investigate. This “Magic Night massacre” was then dug out from the dust of history and led to version 3.0 [ doomsday echo: [ revival of the God of plague ].
it was only then that the players realized that the puppet virus was a foreshadowing buried in the early stages of the game to activate the later versions and lure out the cursing sect.
however, at that time, the exploration of the death quagmire was in full swing. why didn’t he hear the players say that they had found heartless or that the puppet virus had broken out? furthermore, the players had also found quite a number of kaz crystals from the underground base, and no one had been infected by the virus even though they had touched them along the way.
Strange, strange!
Link racked his brains but still couldn’t think of a reason.
Looking at the writhing heartless on the ground, link took out three Flying Daggers and stabbed them into heartless’s legs and palms.
The throwing knife was only of normal quality, and it couldn’t even pierce through the heartless’s muscles.
The macaw at the side was dumbstruck. This thing’s skin was actually so hard? Even someone as strong as link couldn’t pierce through it.
“This thing is so hard that even you can’t cut through it with one strike?” The macaw exclaimed.
Link used his palm to press the flying knife down. It pierced the heartless ‘ankle and nailed his palm to the ground.
“Heartless, infected with the puppet virus. the first effect of the virus was to shrink the brain and control the body with the virus. The second effect was to strengthen the body. Although the heartless were rotten and their internal organs were gone, their muscles, bones, and even skin were extremely tough and could not be hurt by ordinary swords. Although the power of guns and cannons is great, heartless people don’t feel pain and will continue to attack.”
“Then how can we completely destroy them?” The macaw recorded what it saw.
“High temperature, burning fire. Throwing them into a high temperature of over 3000 degrees Celsius would gradually exterminate the puppet virus. The burning will last for five hours, and when it’s completely burned to ashes, it’ll be completely exterminated.” Lin Ke explained it in a casual manner, but the three players at the side and the reporter, macaw, were dumbfounded.
3,000 degrees Celsius would take another five hours before it was completely burned to ashes.
even if it was made of metal, it shouldn’t be this exaggerated, right?
After nailing the heartless, link entered the [ swarm commander ] mode and saw that Fu was three kilometers ahead.
Fu had been standing there for half an hour without moving. If he was right, that must be the entrance to the underground base.
Link whistled. The whistle arrow that was stuck in the heartless flew up without a trace of blood and returned to Link’s sleeve.
...
This scene left Tang Jiu and the Prophet dumbfounded.
Tang Jiu didn’t even have the chance to carefully observe whether this little thing was a small robot or some kind of living creature.
“For the rest of the way, we’ll bend over.”
Link found Fu’s location and looked straight ahead. It was a pile of rocks.
If he was right, the entrance to the underground base should be nearby.
The macaw circled around to a position further away from the heartless, stretched out its wing, pointed and asked, ” “Then, what should we do with this heartless?”
“Fu isn’t with me, so I’ll nail it here first and take it away when I pass by. Let’s hurry up and find the entrance to the underground base.” Link then pointed to a pile of rocks three kilometers away. The rocks were so high that they reached the clouds and stretched for hundreds of feet. It looked like an abandoned and damaged stone fortress.
“Fu’s position is right there. Let’s hurry up.”
The group bent over and moved forward quickly, heading towards the pile of rocks.
......
At this moment, Fu was standing in a corner and looking around.
...
He had suddenly barged into the underground building, and the countdown to his spiritualization ability had ended. He could only stay in this place.
Fu took out a flashlight and an energy bar from his backpack.
He had been frightened quite badly just now and needed to replenish his energy to calm himself down.
Fu did not dare to take out a brighter Searchlight for fear of activating the ” monster ” in the bunker.
There were so many terrifying monsters outside, would there be any less here?
Fu turned on the flashlight in the blind corner behind him and looked at the wall.
The wall was wet but clean. One could clearly see the lines of the giant rock. There was no moss on the wall like in the cracks.
Fu felt at ease and touched it. A cold feeling flowed through his fingertips into his heart, and he could even feel the lines of the cut.
With the light of the flashlight on the wall, Fu saw the layout of the bunker.
He was in the corner of a long and narrow corridor. The entire corridor was about five meters wide, and because the scattered light could not spread very far, it was dark, so he could not tell how deep it was.
But when Ah Fu looked down, he was so scared that he shivered.
There were no bodies on the ground, but firearms, miscellaneous items, and other things were scattered all over the ground. It looked like a mess had happened, and it did not look like an underground base at all.
Fu heaved a sigh of relief when he didn’t see any signs of life.
what he was most afraid of right now was encountering monsters or enemies. with his current strength, any enemy that came would be gobbled.
Fu gently let out a breath of turbid air, and the pressure on him suddenly decreased.
He didn’t dare to pick up the guns on the ground. After all, they were from the old era, and it was hard to say if they could still be used after so many years. More importantly, it would not be good if he made a sound to pick up the gun and attracted the enemy.
However, when Ah Fu turned around and shone the flashlight on the wall in front of him, he was instantly dumbfounded.
Under the light of the flashlight, he could clearly see dark marks on the wall that were obviously different from the wall.
Fu shone the flashlight at the wall and finally saw it clearly.
The wall was covered with all kinds of bloody fingerprints and messy marks of hands scratching the wall. Following the marks, it could be clearly seen that the wall had been dug out with too much force, leaving a shallow groove. The marks almost covered the entire wall. Those fingerprints were of different depths. Fu could even feel the despair of the person who had left these marks.
Fu’s legs went soft, and she fell on her butt. The flashlight also bounced on the ground, making a clattering sound.
The sound was amplified by the corridor, and it drifted far away before gradually disappearing.
In the end, the flashlight rolled on the ground for a while and was held up by the debris next to it. The beam of light hit the wall in front of him, revealing the shocking scene.
just now, he was only looking at the situation from a narrow perspective. now that the bloody fingerprints had appeared on the entire wall, fu felt illusionary pain in his fingers.
What frightened Fu even more was that the loud noise caused by the mistake had already spread far away.
Murphy’s Law had appeared. The more one didn’t want something to happen, the more it would happen.
Fu only hoped that there were no monsters or scary things in the underground base. He also hoped that boss could find him as soon as possible.
Fu looked at the blood wall in front of him and quickly grabbed the flashlight beside him and turned it off.
The only source of light in the entire area was weakened, and darkness returned.
fu quickly hid in a corner, shivering.
“Boss, can you feel my cry for help? come and save me, Yingluo!”
Fu muttered to himself, but he couldn’t help but think of the bloodstains on the wall. The image unconsciously connected to the nuclear explosion in the old era. When the door fell, the soldiers from the Research Institute who were fleeing in the underground base wailed and used all their strength to leave bloodstains on the wall when the door fell. How terrifying was their will to live?
Fu didn’t dare to investigate what had caused this situation, but the more he thought about it, the more terrified he became.
Ah Fu’s heart was beating wildly.
but suddenly, he heard another sound beyond this heartbeat.
The sound of water dripping from the sky to the ground could be heard.
In this tunnel, it was very clear.
“Is there water?” fu’s eyes lit up. according to the technique his boss had taught him, any place with water droplets was likely to be connected to the outside world.
Bang, bang, bang!
just as fu was deep in thought, there were three loud bangs.
a bright light suddenly burst out in the tunnel.
The lights at the top of the tunnel lit up one by one.
At first, it was the one above Fu’s head, and then it lit up all the way down the tunnel.
Just like a cricket.
Some invisible spirit pressed the switch one by one and led him into the dense fog.
