The last headhunter

Chapter 46 The Awakened

Howling.Painful groans.

Resounding through the sky, endless.That ferocious scream rumbled in his mind like a mixed symphony.

Surrounded by rotting vines and polluted soil, whether it was scattered or piled up dead bodies, they finally stood up again like a nightmare.

The mutilated body did not dissipate due to the raging wind, but began to bloat and swell.And the constantly growing sarcoma group is just like the deadly pollution toxin on the mutant body, once it comes into contact with it, it will die.

But if it's just aberrations, it's easy to deal with. Although they are huge in size, they are rare enough to leave the explosion range before their death and explosion.But if the infection spreads to the corpses of civilians and adventurers, the situation will suddenly become extreme and unmanageable.

A zombie army of nearly a hundred people was densely packed in front of him.These fully infected corpses have completely lost their language function, and can only express the twisted struggle of life with wailing.If the swarms of zombies I met in the Forest of Despair were considered rational groups who could call for help, then these guys in front of me are not human at all.

They are "awakened".A general-purpose form of undead creatures, mass-produced dark creations, transformed from polluted human corpses.

It was these creatures that ravaged the city-states during the First Scourge, converting countless innocents into their own kind by surprise and bloody madness.

no wisdom.irrational.Emotionless.Kill and devour machines.There is no difference between them and the primary devourers made of pure flesh and blood like Taotie.But the biggest difference is that the body of the awakened person is a human being.

Even the head has been eaten so that only half of the skull is exposed, and it is common to have broken hands and feet and limbs.A big hole was torn out of the abdomen, the neck was twisted off, and even the soles of the feet were gnawed to pieces by the hungry undead monsters.The effusion in the chest cavity was still gushing out because of the penetrating fatal wound, and even though he had been dead for a long time, blood was still flowing.

So what you see is a group of broken and highly decomposed corpses, either standing upright or bending over or crawling, screaming at you.Their only relatively complete face has shrunk rapidly, and the facial features seem to be squeezed on a piece of white paper to form a weird twist.You can't feel any three-dimensional sense of human face at all, the only thing flooding in your heart is the extreme disgust and vomiting of such a horrible and disgusting form.

Not to mention the bloody appearance that the eyeballs have been completely pulled out, the lips are torn, and the ears and nose have been bitten off.These "human beings" who don't even have complete facial features are like a collection of bright red proteins, and they are proteins that have lost their activity.They are driven by unknown evil energy, even if they die, they cannot get any form of rest.

Even the heart has been exposed in the huge hole in the body, and it has completely stopped beating——this group of undead creatures continued to move towards the boy and his party without being affected.

They stretched out their withered and thin arms, howling and thirsting for flesh and food.Huts, forests, town centers, and even city gates are all over the mountains and plains, endlessly.

This is the first time the boy has encountered such a large number of awakened groups.This is more like some kind of large-scale sacrifice scene, and these evil believers of the undead are fanatics who offer their flesh and blood to the God of Death.Their existence, their distorted nature, their blasphemy against life, their hatred for the world and their grief at the injustice of fate... These strong emotions are raging and violent in this dark memorial.

If there really is an evil god, I should be very happy to see this scene.The world has been polluted the way he wants it to be.Thanks to the undead, endless lives will suffer forever in hell and cages.And he will win inexhaustible long-term power from this fear, malice, pain, and prayer.

Thinking this way, the young man actually has no mercy for these dead.If the struggle of human beings in Luo'an Continent is just the catastrophe caused by the endless confrontation of the gods, then this group of undead creatures who help the evil will be their enemies, nothing more.

When I understood my responsibilities, the confusion and uneasiness in my heart were miraculously swept away.The so-called justice and conscience, the so-called light and redemption that bother young people are actually meaningless in front of "living" in his opinion.This world needs to find relief from the darkness. Human beings need to rebuild their own glory in the midst of disasters. The heroes will gather again to maintain the peace and prosperity of this continent. This will be the destination and future that all the people of Luoan are looking for. .

Of course, it will also be the past wish of these souls who suffered and died.Although they have degenerated into distorted awakened ones now, the boy will always respect what they used to be. They fought desperately or fled in panic. Their lives were still intact.

As long as there is respect and remembrance in our hearts, we can truly give them relief.The meaning of the dead will be forever commemorated on the stele, while the living will inherit the legacy and continue to struggle in the world.

So, go ahead.Drive back these evil creatures and win our light.

"Let's do it. Break through the siege and reach the city."

He ordered so calmly.The strong wind lifted the corners of his windbreaker, and his pure black hair shone under the crimson moon.

"Eliminate all the awakened ones. To prevent the infection from spreading, no one will be spared."

"Follow your orders, Mr. Headhunter."

Jeska bowed slightly.In his eyes, this great pioneer who was prophesied to be able to lead mankind finally had the appearance he expected.Courageous, determined, no longer confused.He believes that under his leadership, mankind will regain its past glory.

So he answered the boy's call.He will also swear his loyalty to the boy until his death.

Among them, of course, Jiri and Delter, the two exile thieves who once suspected the teenagers but are now very loyal.

"We will divert and eliminate all Awakened in this area to help you escape from the encirclement."

"However, due to the large number of enemies, please use the shadow fog to hide for a while. After we have eliminated all the undead creatures, you can come out of the fog to achieve the effect of absolute safety."

While saying this, Jiri took out a miniature magic bottle containing off-white powder from his pocket.

"Pouring the powder in the bottle on the body can achieve an absolutely safe concealment effect and temporarily escape reality. Please, Mr. Michelle, sneak for a while to avoid the toxin damage caused by the explosion of the awakened corpse."

"I understand. Time is short—I'll do as you say. The Awakened are approaching. It's up to you."

"I will fulfill my mission."

He smiled for a long time.It was a kind of relief and pride that the teenager had never seen on his face.With trust and courage, the five finally united as never before.And this cohesion is the eternal hymn of humanity.

Rebel, resist forever.Until the last moment of life.

The number and use of runes are strictly limited by the law.At the end of knowledge is nothingness.Sorry I can't help you this time.

Michelle sighed slightly in her heart.In the dispersal of the mist of shadows, the figures of him and the boy disappeared into reality like ghosts.Although Jiri didn't explain it in detail, Michelle knew very well that this precious medicine bottle, which is enough to save the exile's life, is the supreme treasure that is given out directly by the royal family to mid-level professionals only once in a lifetime.And he gave up such a treasure and entrusted all his hopes to the young man, which meant——

This will be another believer who sacrificed for the ideal of youth.He will sacrifice his fragile but precious life for the great cause of revolution and redemption of mankind.

And these fearless brave men will be sung forever by future generations.

The moment he entered the mist, the smell of blood and blood flooded his face.Different from the large sarcoma toxin outbreak produced by the mutant, the small explosion produced by the dismembered corpse of the awakened zombie is more like poisonous blood splashing and spreading.And this poisonous blood is extremely corrosive.Once it touches the human epidermis, it will completely shrink that part of the tissue in just ten seconds, losing any form of activity.

Subsequently, blood vessels become clogged, blood supply is lost, and tissue dies.Humans will quickly lose their ability to move and become lambs waiting to be slaughtered, the dinner party for the awakened ones to eat.

So when the awakened ones were attracted by the holy light shining on Jeska, Jiri and Delter chose to throw hidden weapons continuously from a long distance.Although the exile's portable package only has the capacity to hold a book, it can easily hold nearly ten thousand throwing knives, poisonous swords, iron nails, and even throwing poisonous mist and burning fire due to its unique compression technology. Bombs, Extreme Ice Road and other props.For an occupation like Exile, which requires long-distance raids and investigations, making props that are easy to carry is the most important benchmark.Therefore, they will make some sharp weapons or chemicals that are easy to compress and have both functionality and lethality, so as to achieve the double effect of coming and going freely and bringing higher lethality.

Today's occasion comes in handy.The state of the two exiles who had fully recovered thanks to the power of the hourglass was almost at its peak.They flashed and moved on the towering roof, with cold lights in their hands, hundreds of flying knives scattered like broken stars, pierced the night sky, and bombarded with dense firepower accompanied by the ear-piercing sound of "stabbing". on the body of the awakened one.And the moment the sharp point of the flying knife touched the body of the awakened person, the saw blade attached to the blade wall began to unfold rapidly, opening its mouth like a pair of pliers, cutting the rotting flesh into pieces with lightning and flint. Two halves!
This is the horror of the improved version of the flying knife. Once this hidden weapon enters the body, it will converge its blades like scissors and cut your body apart with great precision!
Under the baptism of the torrential rain of such a murderous weapon, the corpses of countless awakened people were separated in an instant, and thick blood plasma erupted from the sarcoma.However, the throwing knife, which was constantly tearing at the prey's body, was not satisfied. It returned to the exile's hand in a whirling motion, and aimed at a new target, rushing roaringly.Hundreds of throwing knives cycled back and forth in the hands of the exiles to form a dense killing array, flashing like a dancing god of death on the battlefield, each puncture would harvest an unimaginable number of awakened people.

Broken limbs are everywhere.This has become a one-sided massacre, and the exiles are actually intensifying it.They jumped like dancers. While catching the flying knives and throwing them back, they circled their fingers and shot countless sharp and hard poison-soaked iron nails from their palms.Iron nails are lighter in weight, so they can fly longer distances.What's more, because it poured in a large area in a circle, the surrounding area that could not be traced by the sharp blade was also involved in this unstoppable storm.In the blink of an eye, the young man felt countless hidden weapons inexhaustible like black and white dotted lines, leaving intricate reflections in his eyes.And if you are exposed to such firepower, you will only be left with blood and flesh, and there will be no bones left.

It seems that the exile is a thief class that is good at long-range firepower output.Their hidden weapons are rich in types, with a wide range of damage and strong penetrating power, which is extremely advantageous when dealing with groups of enemies.But relatively, when they deal with a powerful being at close range, they are not good at using daggers because they lose their advantage and appear weak.This also caused them to be at a disadvantage when facing Rick Schur.

Now it is a paradise for them to exert their strength.Under such a large-scale offensive, the awakened ones fell down in pieces, and some were even smashed to pieces by the sharp blades before they got up.The situation suddenly fell.

But the potential of the awakened people is far more than once.Absolutely more than once.

Jessica breathed nervously.The smell of blood in the air made him choke.Although Jiri and Delter helped him deal with a large number of approaching Awakened, there were still quite a few left.They are coming from other corners, out of the range of hidden weapons.These Awakened will pose a deadly threat.

The Awakened are collective "creatures".When they were resurrected, their wills were bound together.Ridiculous isn't it?Although they are still deprived of their souls, they still have a certain kind of extreme will—a kind of will to be led and manipulated.

When the number of their deaths reaches a certain level, these terrifying creatures will usher in a qualitative change.A qualitative change that terrified everyone.

Their physical bodies will be horribly strengthened, and whether it's speed, strength, or even endurance, they will all get a thrilling boost under the perverted buff!
It is similar to the group BUFF called "War Intent" in the warrior named "Spirit of War".When this warrior calls out the battle horn with a rousing roar, all adventurers in the party are fully empowered by being inspired.

But this is just an analogy.In reality, when the awakened ones fall into a frenzy, the madness and distortion of their state is far more exaggerated than the "will to fight"!That's not human, it's just a monster born to tear up and devour human flesh!

They awoke. They came with wrath and destruction.

After the number was cut in half, the remaining Awakened began to return to their true form.The red light of blood suddenly appeared, and their shriveled bodies were surrounded and infected by the surrounding blood rage, and they began to swell rapidly.And the intact muscles and bones are growing into an indestructible flesh wall in the form of extremely hard shell and tissue.

Regardless of whether it has been twisted and damaged, their right arm is replaced by a huge giant arm at this moment, and the crimson gorilla imprint condensed on this arm is like the flesh-colored human skin that regenerates after being torn off. In its extremely cracked and broken form, it exudes a terrifying smell of decay.

"Human beings."

They began to murmur in unison.There were hundreds of people, but they all repeated the words in a low voice.They are now completely devoid of any human traits - just, mere killing machines.And the target of this killing machine is the gorgeously dressed man in front of him who is as holy as an angel.

How eager they were to stain and tear it up—

This scene is chilling.frightening.

But Jie Shika has already made all the psychological preparations.

He stood silently in the center of the highest point of the "Wanderer's Hut".The uphill road in front of him was crowded with awakened people whose footsteps were rumbling.With the "Pride of Neta" in his hand shining brightly, Jieshika, who is filled with faith and the power of the holy light again, will start his holy journey of purification again.

He will give eternal sleep to those who wake up.He will give the undead eternal relief, complete death.
