Quadruple split.

Chapter 298 Bad Omen

Cordoba crossed the blockade line and entered Misha County yesterday evening. Although the mount Su Mier gifted him with friendship died unfortunately during the journey, this macho man who ran as fast as a regular war horse still arrived on schedule. Arriving in Misha County, even earlier than the time he and Mo Tan had agreed on, and now he is located very close to the middle of the county, and has encountered four or five waves of mutants along the way...

Of course, Cordoba, who has turned on [Sensory Protection for Minors] all the year round, has no turmoil in his heart, and he doesn't want to laugh too much. Instead, he thinks those Zombies who look quite violent are still a bit cute.

The only thing that makes him unhappy is that these things are really annoying!
Cordoba is not worried about safety issues, even though Mo Tan told him a few days ago that those mutants would attack every living being they saw and smelled, but some people who have been upgraded to version V1.5. Man is still very confident in himself, and the facts have proved that those mutants are indeed not his opponents, let alone one or two, even if there are a dozen of them together, they will inevitably be knocked to death one by one.

Surprisingly, those damned mutants didn't scream and kill Cordoba as soon as they met him. These monsters that were extremely sensitive to life didn't attack him, nor ignored him, but very Very forcefully...watching him!

This makes Cordoba very unhappy!

Those mutants will be attracted to a certain extent after meeting him, but they don't have any desire to attack. They just stare at him blankly, stare blankly at him, watch him silently or follow him curiously ... Who can stand this! ?

Although they will fight back if they are attacked, but they are not resolute in fighting back, or they just utter a low-pitched raving. Unless they are hit continuously by Cordoba, they will basically not make any decent counterattacks, which makes people tireless.

Even if Cordoba, who has sensory protection, will not be disgusted, he also realizes that he can no longer remain indifferent. The reason is very simple. If those mutants are ignored, these things gathered around him will There are more and more, and if he sees one and kills the other, then the energy will drop quickly, so things will become embarrassing.

Although the V1.5 version of Cordova already has the function of connecting an external battery, he does not want to use those 'energy' unless it is absolutely necessary.

It needs to be explained here that after a previous upgrade, Lu Wei has found a way to recharge the "eternal crystal" in Cordoba's body, which is to transform those apocalyptic crystals that could only be used as quest items , turning it into something similar to a mobile power supply, as long as Cordoba inserts it into the groove of the [Wand of the Punisher M2K], not only can it charge itself at any time, but it can also activate its own power by actively activating it. The weapon is overloaded, drawing out all the power of the Apocalypse Crystal in a short time to assist him in fighting. In this way, even if he encounters the monster that he encountered in the Chauvin Empire again, at least he has a trump card that can be used to fight or run away (since Think).

But it should be noted that as long as the energy inside the Apocalypse Crystal is slightly missing, it cannot be used to complete the task. Simply put, it loses the function of distinguishing the "Light of Apocalypse" and "Shadow of Apocalypse", so if Cordova If you want to find the remaining shadows and light besides Mo and Mo in one go, you must leave two intact crystals, the kind that cannot be extracted at all.

The manufacturing method of the apocalypse crystal is very cumbersome, and the upgraded version requires the cooperation of Lu Wei, Hao and another high-level agent to complete it. Cordoba brought a total of five crystals with him when he went out this time. The next two pieces are stored in Tianzhu Mountain for backup, so, in summary, the Apocalypse Crystal V2.0 (named by Lu Wei) is extremely precious, rare, and valuable, so please save it!
Cordoba even triggered a quest because of this, probably the content is that the more [Apocalypse Crystal V2.0] left when returning to Tianzhu Mountain, the more Lu Wei's favorability for him will be significantly improved, on the contrary, if Not only did they fail to find those lights and shadows, but there were not even a few crystals left, which would lead to the failure of the mission and further decrease Master Lu's favorability towards him.

Although he always said "Lu Wei is old and immortal", Cordoba certainly knows how important it is to have a good relationship with his creators, adjusters, and maintainers, so he made up his mind this time to save money as much as possible. Using those new crystals, just imagine, 'Mo' got [Self-Explosive Sheep] just by increasing his favorability with Lu Wei a little bit, and the girl Yege with a higher favorability got a lot of benefits, Even the teleportation beacon is a specially-made VIP version. If I can make Master Lu happy, then the future of this rune body must be bright...

On the other hand, if Master Jie Lu is not happy, it is definitely not impossible for him to stuff himself into the bodies of those two kobolds just because he is upset!
So Cordoba has been adhering to the mentality of saving what can be saved all the way, calculating energy reserves like a Grandet, and then... with little effect.

The various accidents (such as avalanches and other twelve vicious incidents) encountered when going to Sumir almost exhausted his own energy reserves, and fighting the cultists with Huo Yanyang and the others also consumed a lot of energy, causing him to be killed. One crystal was forced to be used, so there are four crystals left in Cordoba's luggage, two of which he is going to use to identify the shadow and light, that is to say, except for the one embedded in the Apart from the crystals in the staff, there are only two Apocalypse Crystals that can be freely controlled.

[Energy crisis! ! 】

Cordoba sighed, and he slammed the Punisher's Staff on the ground in his hand, and began to ponder.

[In this ghostly place where the streets are full of mutants, what exactly should I do to reach the Gudami Plain without consuming a lot of energy and fighting zombies, and without letting those things get together? ! 】

Cordoba felt very tired. He looked at the mutants who gradually gathered around him and began to watch. He couldn't help but think of the works about zombies in the last days that he had seen...

Then, suddenly a flash of inspiration!
"By the way, I don't know if this trick will work!"

Cordoba slapped his forehead violently, and then jumped to the side of the zombie that was almost cut in two by him. He swung his staff and clicked the thing to split it in two, and then stretched out With his big hand that was faintly shining with blue light, he picked up a pile of mosaics and began to wipe them on himself, muttering as he wiped: "It's like this in movies, it's played in games, it's written in literature. , as long as you paint these 'corpse' on your body, you won't attract the attention of those things... um... some more... I don't have to breathe anyway, um, if this intestine is used as a belt Wouldn't it look more cool..."

In short, the scene was extremely bloody and emetic, almost indescribable in words. If Cordoba hadn't turned on [Sensory Protection for Minors], he would probably be scared out of his mind by this extremely ghostly scene, which would lead to forced Disconnected, but...

At this moment, under the double blessing of sensory protection and olfactory closure, Cordoba, who only has a mosaic in front of him, is fearless!Be fearless!

ten minutes later
"Yehe, it really succeeded! The ancients did not deceive me!"

Exuding the aura of not being close to strangers (it really smells too bad), Cordoba, like a flesh and blood demon god, walked comfortably on the path in the forest, looking back contentedly at the few ones that completely turned a blind eye to him The mutants clapped their hands with a smile: "Okay! Then let me surprise them! Mo Tan must not have thought that I would come here so soon~"

Then the rune creature, who had completely transformed himself into an inhuman form, leisurely opened the built-in map of the rune body, and ran happily in the direction of the Gudami Plain.

……

Two hours later

Combined Forces, command tent

"The third team has encountered the enemy! The number is thirty, and they are being restrained!"

Yu Ying raised her hand to wipe off her sweat, and shouted anxiously to Mo Tan: "There are too many mutants, and the thieves who touch from both sides can't get through! Wait! Damn, the fifth and seventeenth teams encountered enemies at the same time." , the number, thirty, twenty, that shelter is finished, those guys all rushed out of the cellar, there can be no survivors!"

"Tell the third team to fight on the spot. They can handle the 1:3 ratio. The earth mages build a position on the spot, and leave a gap for the three knights to take turns to block up the mutants. If they are besieged, let anyone Whoever sprinkles the glowing powder and goes out for a circle, must not take it too far and then sneak back with death dust, must leave all thirty mutants in that place." Mo Tan raised his hand and lit up the places in Guda on the map. The chess pieces at the upper left, lower right, and upper right of the dense plain said without hesitation: "The configuration of the fifth team cannot be hardened. Let them retreat one kilometer uphill. Don't run too far and let the opponent chase them. The nineteenth team was split into two groups, and the two sun sect paladins and healers were sent to support the fifth team. The others rushed to the southeast. This group of people could walk a little slower to save energy, and then continued to go after joining the seventeenth team. Hind Hill, the danger factor is the highest there."

Yuying nodded, and asked while editing the information quickly, "What about the [-]th team?"

"Only [-] enemies have been encountered, and the knights in the team are all members of the Justice Sect. Let them charge and run in. The healer rests on the spot, and first uses Luna's recovery potion to top it off. The caster lets go of Boom and it's over After a while, two mages and one warlock from the [-]th team will make up for it, and it will not have much impact." Mo Tan didn't raise his head, but just looked at the map in front of him, and paused for a few seconds before continuing: "Also, let The first team and the fourth team will go to the slope north of the Snow Bamboo Forest to join. Their current position is already very dangerous. After meeting, tell me that the target position needs to be corrected further to the east. By the way, tell the second team to speed up. It’s almost impossible to keep up with the rhythm, if it’s really not possible, let the knights take those spellcasters, anyway, it’s not sinking.”

Yuying nodded slightly, and after a few seconds of being in a daze, raised her hand to make an OK gesture.

The tent became quiet again, only the slight buzzing sound of the few alchemy chess pieces in front of Mo Tan reverberating in the air.

"Thanks for your hard work."

A cup of warm black tea was placed in front of Mo Tan, and Yu Chen, who had been silent since just now, smiled and skillfully helped Mo Tan change the bottle of ink, and then ran to Yu Ying and handed her a cup of tea , just like a girl pouring water.

"It's too sinful~" Yu Ying smacked her lips, and smiled while sipping tea: "If those fanatics know that their saintess is here to serve us tea and water, they won't be able to put me and Mo Tan Sheng ate it."

Mo Tan, who was rarely free for a few minutes, also laughed, nodded and said: "Seriously seconded, by the way, fortunately this is a game and not reality, otherwise I would have gone to the toilet three times in such a short time."

Yu Chen smiled sheepishly and didn't speak, just helped Yu Ying tidy up the messy pile of parchment full of ghostly symbols on the small table, then turned around and made a face at Mo Tan.

"Ahem, I just spit out something to relieve the pressure." Mo Tan stretched his waist, then took a pen to make a few marks on the places where the teams encountered the enemy, frowned and said in a low voice: "To be honest , the number of those mutants seems to be a bit too small..."

Yu Ying was startled at the time: "That's not enough!? They have encountered no less than a hundred mutants along the way. If there were more numbers, those people would probably be dead by now!"

"No." Mo Tan shook his head slightly, fiddled with a few chess pieces that were relatively close to the Gudami Plain, and shrugged: "Didn't you notice that today's inspection team has doubled, and the range is also In the extreme distance of the absolute safety zone, most of them should have been filled into the scouting team for this round as a reserve force, but they haven't been used until now... This is not a good sign."

Yuchen blinked: "Isn't that a good sign? Shouldn't it be a good thing to have fewer enemies?"

This time, Yu Ying was the first to react, and she gave Mo Tan a strange look: "You mean, the south..."

"I'm not sure yet, but I do have a bad premonition." Mo Tan interrupted Yuying by shaking his head, looked down at the huge red circle at the bottom of the map, and said in a deep voice: "When Xia Lian just came back, she talked about the situation in the south. Too bad, she couldn't even go that far at that time, and the information given by Xia Lian, the two city lords of Xinya City and Gelan City did not match the number of mutants we encountered in the central area, plus..."

"The two city lords said that they have lost contact with Rowe City, which is closest to here in the south, since a week ago, right?"

Yu Chen, who had mentioned this matter to Mo Tan before, suddenly asked in a low voice.

"That's right." Mo Tan sighed, and scratched his forehead preoccupiedly: "I think..."

"Don't think so!"

Yuying suddenly roared impatiently: "Squad [-] has encountered the boss!!!"
