Chapter 1841 Recruitment (It’s almost time to wear short sleeves)

The scene before them left the three flight attendants stunned. They could hardly believe their eyes.

The man had clearly fallen ill and was about to turn into a zombie, but now he is alive again?

What exactly is going on?

"Change your clothes and follow me."

Duanmu Huai glanced at the four people, and the man seemed to have just come back to his senses. He looked at his body in surprise, with a blank face. However, Duanmu Huai's oppressive voice still made him tremble, and then he stood up obediently.

At this moment, Duanmu Huai received another report from Medea.

"Ah, Master, I found a few more survivors. What a great harvest."

"Oh?"

After hearing Medea's report, Duanmu Huai nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good, we'll be there soon."

"receive."

After that, Duanmu Huai and the others took the four survivors out of the underground street and reached the ground from the other side. Then, following the route guided by Medea, they soon arrived at her block. Then, Duanmu Huai saw a bus parked in the middle of the road, and Medea was sitting on a staff, circling around the bus, with a large number of zombie corpses next to it.

"Ah, Master!"

Seeing Duanmu Huai and others, Medea raised her hands happily and waved vigorously.

“We are here——!”

"Wait, don't scream!"

Hearing the innocent cry of the girl, the faces of the survivors suddenly changed. They knew that these zombies were very sensitive to sound. Medea's shout would definitely attract all the zombies around!

"Ahhhhh!!"

Sure enough, almost at the same time, the unique wails and screams of zombies were heard all around, and then zombies filed out from passages and gates in all directions, and pounced directly at them like fanatical fans seeing their beloved superstar!

"It's over, we're dead!"

Seeing this scene, the passengers in the car screamed immediately. After all, from their point of view, with so many zombies, there was no way to escape. They would probably have no choice but to die!

However, at this moment, Medea raised her hand, and then a huge magic circle appeared above their heads, followed by countless magic beams falling from the sky like a downpour, smashing all the zombies into pieces.

"…………………"

Not only were the survivors in the car dumbfounded and speechless, but the four survivors following Duanmu Huai and the others were the same. They stared blankly ahead with their eyes wide open, even doubting whether they were dreaming—this must be a dream, otherwise why would there be such an unreasonable thing?

“………It’s ineffective to expel the undead…”

Mary also put down her cane and frowned with a puzzled look on her face.

"Why, aren't these all zombies?"

"Because they are different from the corpses in the world of Faerun. They are not powered by negative energy. In fact, strictly speaking, they are not even corpses, but living people."

Duanmu Huai didn't take it seriously. After all, this was common sense for players.

Even though they are all zombies, there are still differences between the zombies of the Stain of Corruption and the zombies of the Necromancer.

As they talked, the group walked to the front of the bus. At this moment, the passengers were also huddled in the bus, looking at Duanmu Huai and others with confusion and anxiety. It was no wonder that they were like this. After all, the city had become like this. Everyone was either busy surviving or nervous. On the other hand, Duanmu Huai and the girl beside him seemed to be completely indifferent to all this, as if they were just taking a walk on the street.

Duanmu Huai stared at the people in the car and then made a gesture.

"You guys, get out of the car."

"………………………"

A group of people got off the car obediently and stood in a row uneasily.

"Report, civilians, where are you from?"

"I, we are......"

Facing Duanmu Huai's question, the uniformed driver hesitated for a moment, but still stammered about his experience. They were also trapped in the building when the virus broke out, just like the four survivors. However, because there were so many people, after so many days, the food was almost gone. So the driver remembered that the bus was nearby, so he asked the others to take the bus and move out of the city.

Although it was smooth at the beginning, they didn't expect that there would be a traffic jam when they turned here, and the zombies attracted by the engine sound also ran over. If Medea hadn't suddenly descended from the sky and eliminated those zombies, they would probably have been killed in the bus.

"I see."

After listening to the driver's explanation, Duanmu Huai nodded and then made a gesture.

"You guys, follow me."

"Wait a moment."

At this moment, a short-haired woman came out from among the passengers. She was wearing sportswear and her eyes looked very sharp. At this moment, the short-haired woman stared at Duanmu Huai, frowned and asked.

"Who are you? Why did you save us?"

"I am Duanmu Huai, the chief judge of the Tribunal."

Duanmu Huai spoke.

"They are my direct subordinates, and you... have been recruited by me."

"Conscription, conscription?"

"That's right. From now on, you are my subordinates. To put it bluntly, you are now equivalent to soldiers."

"what?"

"Do not make jokes!"

When everyone heard Duanmu Huai's words, they were suddenly in an uproar.

"You want us to fight zombies? You must be kidding! Absolutely not!"

"I do not want it!!"

For a moment, protests came one after another, but Duanmu Huai just looked at them coldly and then snorted.

"snort-----!"

In just a moment, an incomparable fear and pressure suddenly erupted, and everyone felt as if their chests were hit hard by a hammer. And those who were shouting were like chickens with their necks strangled, and they were completely silent.

"I think you've made a mistake, civilian."

Duanmu Huai stared at everyone and spoke again.

"This is an order, not a request. If you want to leave, then I don't mind punishing you."

"Why? I just want to leave......"

"But there's a high chance that you'll be infected and turn into a zombie. I won't allow that to happen."

"………………………"

After hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, everyone was stunned and speechless for a moment. At this time, the short-haired girl struggled to stand up, stared at Duanmu Huai, and spoke again.

"But we have no weapons."

"Do you think I'm a fool? Did I ask you to fight zombies with your teeth and fists?"

Duanmu Huai glanced at the short-haired girl and then made a gesture. The next moment, everyone saw a large box appear in front of them out of thin air, and then Duanmu Huai opened the lid directly. Inside were several long ones that looked like...

"Gun?" Everyone looked at the weapons in the box and felt completely stunned.

Sure enough, they are still dreaming!

Even the short-haired girl stared at the weapon box in a daze. Then she walked over carefully, as if she was facing a treasure chest monster that would bite Fulilian. Then she reached out and took out a gun from the box.

“Is this… a real gun?”

"Mary, go and give some instructions."

Duanmu Huai absolutely didn't care about guns, although according to reason, he should have played with them in front of everyone. But Duanmu Huai knew his own business, and if he fired here, who knows where the gun would go. That would be a huge embarrassment.

On the other hand, Mary is an excellent shooter because of her golden eyes, and this kind of imperial standard weapon is very convenient and simple, even a child can use it - well, Duanmu Huai is now secretly glad that he looted the military warehouse before leaving the hive city, at least for now, the weapons and equipment inside should be enough for a regiment.

"Ok."

Mary nodded, then walked to the short-haired girl and whispered instructions to her. The latter was unusually restrained, but still took the gun under Mary's instructions, aimed at a car next to her, opened the safety, pulled the trigger, and then...

“Whoosh————!”

A flash of red laser burst out from the muzzle and hit the target car, instantly burning a large hole in the door of the car.

"————!"

At this moment, the short-haired girl widened her eyes and stared at the weapon in her hand in surprise.

"Wait, what kind of gun is this?"

"Laser gun, this is a standard weapon, it is the best for dealing with zombies."

Duanmu Huai opened his mouth and answered.

"These zombies are very difficult to kill with ordinary methods, so the best way is to burn them directly. Therefore, high-temperature laser weapons are much more useful than ordinary firearms to deal with zombies."

"No, I mean ..."

Faced with Duanmu Huai's explanation, the short-haired girl became unusually flustered, and the others were also shocked.

"Aren't laser guns only seen in science fiction movies? They don't even exist in reality..."

“This is not something civilians need to consider.”

Duanmu Huai directly blocked the short-haired girl's attack with just one sentence. The latter opened her mouth like a fish, but then closed it obediently, raised the laser gun again, aimed, and pulled the trigger.

With the short-haired girl as an example, the others also stepped forward and carefully took a laser gun from the box, and then followed Mary's instructions and began to learn how to use these guns. Seeing that the civilians were obedient, Duanmu Huai nodded and then looked at the four people not far behind him.

"You guys go too."

"We want it too?"

The three stewardesses were shocked when they heard this, while Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows.

"Why else would I recruit you? Go!"

"……………I see."

The long-haired and heavily made-up stewardess gritted her teeth, then nodded vigorously and looked at her companion.

"We have to protect ourselves. We can't always rely on others! Besides, I've always wanted to play with guns!"

Hearing the long-haired stewardess' words, the other two hesitated for a moment, then walked over and began to select weapons. As for the rescued office worker, he had already walked silently to the others and started practicing shooting.

Mary and Suzu took on the role of instructors, teaching them how to hold a gun, not pointing the muzzle at people, and keeping their fingers away from the trigger. When shooting, they should aim at the limbs that are most likely to be hit, not the head. It must be said that with guns in hand, the civilians seemed to gradually calm down. In particular, the power of the laser gun was easy to see. One shot could melt a big hole in the doors of the cars. Nothing could be more direct than this to show its power.

This also made the originally terrified survivors gradually calm down. At least this was much better than facing the zombies unarmed.

However, accidents always happen.

"ah-----!"

When most people were training, suddenly, a scream was heard. Everyone turned around and saw a man holding a weapon in one hand and holding Ogis, who was watching the show nearby, in the other hand. The latter just stood there quietly, motionless like a doll.

"Get me out of here!"

Facing everyone's gaze, the man now shouted loudly.

"I don't want to fight zombies. Even though you gave us weapons, in the final analysis, you want us to fight zombies, right?"

"indeed so."

Duanmuhuai nodded.

"I'm not going to do it. You all know how powerful those zombies are! Even if we have guns, we can never beat them!"

The man also shouted at the other survivors. After hearing his words, the survivors who were not panicking because they had guns in their hands also remembered the terrifying appearance of the zombies surging like a tide. Indeed, facing that kind of fearless and crazy death charge, what can they do even if they have guns in their hands?

"We must leave this city! Run away as far as possible! If you are willing to leave, come with me!"

The man put the muzzle of the gun against Ogis's forehead and shouted loudly. When the survivors heard the man's shout, their expressions were complicated. On the one hand, they felt that this was too ungrateful, but on the other hand, the other party gave them weapons in order to make them cannon fodder...

"Do not move!"

The man stared at Duanmu Huai with red eyes.

"I know this armor of yours is powerful, but if you dare to move, I will kill this girl!"

However, Duanmu Huai turned a deaf ear to the man's threats.

"Inciting rebellion is extremely stupid... Ogis, don't kill him. I want to show others what happens when they defy the Inquisition!"

"Okay, master."

As Ogis finished her words, the next moment the man's hands suddenly broke off from his arms without any warning, and the hands holding the gun fell directly to the ground. Then Ogis's fingers moved slightly, and the puppet thread wrapped around the man's arms that had lost both hands, and he fell directly up.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!"

The pain of having two hands cut off alive is naturally not something that ordinary people can endure. At this moment, the man could not hold back and screamed loudly. When the other survivors saw this scene, they widened their eyes in horror and stepped back.

However, Duanmu Huai didn't care about this at all. He thought for a moment and then turned to the girls around him.

"Lummiel, come here."

"What do you want from me, Your Honor?"

"Make this guy into a servitor for me. I have all the materials. I looted a lot of them from the Mechanicus before. And we just happen to be in need of a luggage carrier. This is the one."

"You want me to do it? Maria is more familiar with this kind of thing, right? I just know the procedure..."

"Maria is not here, so you can take over for the time being."

"Ok."

Lumiaire sighed helplessly and nodded.

"I don't know what it will look like."

"First time is second time, so I'll give you some practice."
