Alien Knights

Looking at the corpse covered in metal parasites in the iron cage, Ackerman swallowed: "Is there a way to eliminate them?"

"If it is just a mutated parasitic zombie that is alone, it is relatively simple to deal with, and just targeted attacks will do. For example, metal parasitic zombies have weak defense against electric energy attacks; flame-breath parasitic zombies have weak defense against freezing attacks..."

"The trouble is that these enemies often appear in groups. When you realize that there are special parasite zombies in the zombie tide and want to attack them, they have already rushed in front of you."

Alfonso knocked on the iron cage with his hand and continued: "In order to capture these samples, we sacrificed several people."

Ackerman remembered the other party's words and asked: "You just said that parasites can transfer supernatural powers to each other. What's going on?"

"That is the hypothesis put forward by His Majesty and scholars. Plague parasites have the ability to seize alien powers, and can copy and pass them to other similar species. However, judging from the parasitic corpses captured so far, the ability to seize powers only appears There is no replication or transmission on the parasitic corpse that directly eats the flesh and blood of the alien species."

Ackerman: "Does this mean that this assumption is invalid?"

Alfonso: "No, according to the research of Muxi University, the plague parasite can completely transmit supernatural powers, but it is not implemented now, maybe because of other reasons... But for us, after all, it is a matter of A good thing, after all, if you think about it, if all parasitic zombies have the abilities of metal skin, fire breath, regeneration, splitting, strength enhancement, and speed enhancement..."

Before Alfonso finished speaking, Ackerman closed his eyes with a headache and shuddered.

While the two were talking, the staff in the experimental area also packed up all the materials and equipment.

"Sir, you are ready."

Alfonso nodded and said to Ackerman: "Let's go, it's time to leave."

As soon as the two returned to the ground, they were attracted by the sound of explosions not far away.

At the gate of the port position, a defense line formed by hundreds of Crusaders and alien knights is firmly suppressing the zombie rats on the street.

The elves who were good at the fire breath ability smashed balls of fire into the sea-like zombie rats; the orcs formed a team of three, carrying steel wall shields several meters high and burning with flames, and drove out the rat swarms one after another. The alien knight used the extended length of the dragon bone parasite to sweep away some plague rats and parasites that occasionally slipped through the net.

The scout-type mutant standing on the watchtower at the port used eagle eyes and clairvoyance to observe the battlefield, and from time to time used the hive parasites on the keel armor to issue warnings.

"Southeast, 75.2, ruler, 1328, Flame Breath variant found."

The Valkyrie hovering in the air commanded the griffin to rush to the location of the coordinates. Using the ability of "slowing down time", she found a special zombie rat whose entire body was red.

This zombie rat is different from its kind. It is not afraid of flames and will not be hurt by high temperatures. It quickly moves towards the gate of the camp among the piles of rat corpses.

The Valkyrie stretched her bow and nocked an arrow, aimed at the head of the mutated flame-breathed rat, and killed it with one arrow.

Ackerman observed the battlefield and breathed a long sigh of relief: "It looks like it's safe here."

Alfonso quickly denied him: "It is not safe here. These rats are just pioneers. Soon this place will be flooded by a flood of parasitic rats."

At this time, Evie, who was riding a griffin, slowly landed in the camp and said to Alfonso: "Let your people move quickly, the rats from the north and west have gathered!"

Alfonso nodded, and after using the hive on the back of the insect beetle to contact others, he said: "Everything is ready."

Evie took out a small horn from her waist and blew it hard.

The Valkyrie, which was originally hovering in the air, spread out and flew towards the surroundings of the position.

The Crusaders and Knights maintained their formation and slowly retreated towards the plank road area of ​​the port.

Evie, who returned to the air again, watched everyone begin to evacuate, and blew the horn for the second time.

The Valkyries ignited the arrows in their hands and shot towards the pyre that had been prepared near the port.

In an instant, dozens of firewood piles surrounding the port were ignited, and flames rose along the oil lines that had been buried in advance.

Viewed from a high altitude, a large fire ring with a diameter of one kilometer surrounding the port looked particularly dazzling.

The swarms of rats were constantly spinning outside the fire ring. The few that came close were burned to charcoal by the fire, and the few that even managed to get through the fire ring were shot dead on the way forward.

Ackerman stood on the deck of the cargo ship, looking at the thick black smoke over the Duchy Principality, and whispered: "What will happen next?"

Parni, who was standing behind him, said with a trembling voice: "Maybe this fire can kill those mice."

Alfonso, who had just checked inside and outside the cabin, said: "To the north of Taylor City are snow-capped mountains, to the south is the sea, and to the east is an uninhabited desert. Think about it for yourself, where can these undead go in the end?"

Ackerman turned around with difficulty: "You mean, they will eventually come to Duxi City?"

Alfonso: "According to His Majesty, the plague will gradually spread and will eventually infect all living creatures on the continent. When their scale reaches a certain level, westward expansion is an inevitable result."

Ackerman: "How long do we have?"

"With better luck, six months." Alfonso hesitated for a moment and said, "As long as nothing unexpected happens."

Just as Ackerman was about to speak, there was an earth-shattering explosion from the port in the distance.

The entire port was shattered by the violent explosion. Stones, wood chips, and corpses rose into the air, forming a large black haze. Huge air waves spread from the ground, even on the deck more than ten kilometers away. , you can clearly feel the obvious shaking.

After tens of seconds, the explosion and fire gradually subsided.

The originally prosperous and beautiful Duokqi Harbor was now an unsightly ruin.

Listening to the suppressed cries of the residents of Dokqi, a strong sense of uneasiness and fear tightly surrounded Ackerman's body.

"Muxi City will not become like this..." Ackerman clasped his hands tightly and whispered: "Absolutely not."

Alfonso said nothing, but patted Ackerman heavily on the shoulder, and then made a gesture to signal the fleet to set sail as soon as possible.

Accompanied by the sound of waves and sea breeze, the fleet moved farther and farther away from the land of death.

Among the charcoal and ruins, a group of corpse rats covered with black parasites pushed up the rubble above their heads, stood upright and sniffed the air toward the west.

Soon, these messengers of the plague turned around and burrowed into the ground, and their figures disappeared in an instant.
