Life as a mercenary turned into a girl is a bit difficult

"Then... take it to a good place..."

Chapter 23 The Witch’s Actions

Walking zombies are almost the most common monsters in the wasteland world, but until today, humans have not really understood them. It is clear that most of the body tissues have actually entered 'death', but the functions required for body movement have been preserved. , or even strengthened. After these corpses enter the state of corpse transformation, the phenomenon of decay appears on them as if a button to pause time has been pressed.

The walking zombies hardly need to actually eat, which means the energy required to support their activities has always been the biggest mystery. The laws of the real world seem to have completely failed on them, but the walking zombies are eager to eat, and they are crazy about it. Fresh flesh and blood.

So far, the existence of walking zombies has been regarded as the product of mutated genes and viruses that failed to combine with humans. The reason is simple: walking zombies are dead and are completely controlled by mutated genes and viruses caused by pollution in the brain. Mutable beasts But they are alive. Their original consciousness has not been erased, but both have retained the ability to evolve and strengthened their desire for evolution, and the fuel needed for evolution is fresh flesh and blood.

Even a commander with certain wisdom among the walking zombies cannot resist instinct, especially after the zombie waves under his command have successively broken through the human defense line, and the fresh flesh and blood has almost reached the point of being within reach, it has fallen into further madness. So far, It has already suffered too many losses in this attack so far, especially the loss of the advanced corpse apes, which is undoubtedly a heavy blow to his legion. Those important combat forces that protect its safety must go deep into the jungle. The rare things found must be replaced by the flesh and blood of these humans.

The commander's will is the will of the entire zombie tide. When they put all their attention on the town of Vibus in front of them, no one noticed: behind them, the two figures were standing on the branches of the tree trunks in the dense forest. .

In fact, the commander was not so careless that he didn't pay attention to what was behind him, but how could a dozen zombies wandering around the outside notice two easy figures dozens of meters above their heads?

After circling a large circle around the corpse tide, neither Erin nor Poluk noticed the presence of the commander. Fortunately, most of the corpse tide was hidden in the jungle. They only needed to keep moving in the trees. The trajectory can avoid direct contact with the corpse tide and avoid the possibility of being discovered.

In the darkness, the pupils of the two witches reflected light of different colors. Of course, with the naked eye, they could only see the outline of their foreheads. What played a role in the search was their respective perceptions.

After searching for the location of the branch to no avail, Erin was about to jump to the next big tree. However, when she was jumping, her posture suddenly stopped. At the same time, she grabbed her knees and bent them up, ready to go. of Poluk.

"Hey... what are you doing?"

After throwing away Irene's arm, Poluk was about to shout a loud accusation, but soon realized that his voice would most likely alert them to the large tide of corpses under the tree, so he could only forcefully lower his voice to express his dissatisfaction.

"Didn't you notice?" Irene pointed to the next tree where the two of them were going to settle down without explanation. The flat tone of her tone sounded more like some kind of ridicule to Poluk. Poluk gritted his teeth and then Looking confused, there was nothing visible on the dark outline of the tree trunks in the dark environment.

Although she disliked Irene emotionally, not only because of their previous encounters, but also because Irene always bullied her intentionally or unintentionally, making her unable to hold her head high in front of her sister, but she had to She admitted that Erin's familiarity and combat experience in the wasteland world were better than her own, after having been in prison for countless years.

She took a few more steps forward, and after changing the angle, she finally found a black outline protruding from the straight tree trunk. It was a creature she had never seen before, squatting motionless at the bifurcation of the trunk. No breath at all.

It seems different from the messy walking corpses below.

"We have encountered them in the town outside the prison before...the weapons that attacked the human caravan belonged to them."

"How did you find out?" This is the answer to the question that Poluk wants to know the most. The monster does not breathe or move. Naturally, it has no way of sensing breath and sound, and the other party has not discovered them and taken any attack measures. As a result, there is no room for even crisis warning.

"Just be careful..." Erin reached out and took out the scythe from the black smoke. "Our actions in the previous trees would occasionally disturb the birds perched on the trees, but this has not happened since we entered this area. situation, so I think there is a high probability that there are people in this area who can move at the top of the tree."

"Are you going to kill it?"

Poluk eagerly cut open the palm of her right hand with a sharp piece of metal she carried with her, and a long knife formed by the blood gathered in her hand.

"No, avoid it. It's just a secret whistle. Killing it will be discovered by the commander." Irene held the sickle in her hand and looked around to confirm the safe direction of travel. "But it's okay for this kind of secret whistle to appear here." It means the commander should be nearby."

Commander?

I am actually very interested in the name Poluk that I heard from Irene and Hiiragi many times. The huge group formed by these monsters actually has a unified command. This wasteland world is really magical.

As they went deeper, the monsters like the ones just now became more and more dense. Irene confirmed that she was in the right direction and looked at every corner below at any time. Because the distance was too far, the characteristics of the commander's big head were In fact, it was not obvious among the mixed zombies, and the dense whistles further prevented them from going deep.

"There is movement."

Erin and Poluk stopped again, because the tree-climbing monsters that were originally used as secret sentries suddenly made new moves. They jumped out of their hiding places and ran towards the town where the fierce battle was taking place. , seemed to be joining the attacking team, and the dense tide of corpses below gradually became sparse, and this change suddenly opened a gap for Erin and the others to continue to penetrate deeper.

Realizing that the opportunity was rare, the two immediately followed up. According to Irene's description, Poluk soon discovered a target with similar characteristics. The huge head was extremely exaggerated. It was several times larger than the surrounding monsters. The thick head Blood vessels were clearly visible under the skin, as if they might explode at any moment.

It's him!

At this time, the commander was lying on the back of one of the strongest monsters, and around it stood three smaller but equally outstanding monsters as personal bodyguards.They all looked in the direction of the town and seemed unaware of the approach of Irene and Poluk.

It's mine now!

Poluk glanced hastily and found that Irene had not seen the back of the commander. The long knife in his hand changed again and condensed into a slender javelin, and he threw it hard at the commander before Irene could react.

"Wait a moment!"

Irene had no time to organize, and the expression quickly flew out of Poluk's hand. It was originally an object condensed by blood that could be controlled by herself. There was no need to say anything about accuracy, even in a pitch-black environment. Xia Boluke was also very confident. She had not forgotten that Hiiragi's request to capture the leader alive as much as possible was to aim at the back of the commander, shoot it down from the big monster, and then spread the blood that had condensed into the javelin to trap it. Just capture them alive.

Of course, she didn't do this for Hiiragi, but to prove her ability to be better than Irene in front of her sister, and to make these guys realize again that she is the strongest among them.

'puff! '

'Quack quack quack! ! ! '

The javelin accurately penetrated the commander's back, and the commander who was suddenly attacked let out a shrill scream. The movements of the zombies attacking on the front line all froze, and the three people around it clearly reached the level of The first-level monster zombie suddenly turned around and blocked the path of the attack.

However, although he hit the target, the commander's body did tilt to one side but did not fall from the back of the big monster. It was not until the squatting big monster got up that Poluk saw: That Only the commander has no lower body, but it is actually connected to that big monster? !

Seeing the weird tangle of bulges between muscles and blood vessels under the skin at the junction, Poluk felt a faint sign of churning in his stomach.

"Another ability of the commander is parasitism. They can parasitize the zombies under their control..." Erin did not blame or ridicule, because she knew that it was meaningless for the current situation, and she was definitely not looking for fun now. At that moment, it was obvious that the monster zombies serving as bodyguards were not on the same level as those encountered before.

"coming!"

As soon as Irene finished speaking, three monster zombies were already roaring and rushing toward them, while the commander parasitic on the strongest monster was running in the opposite direction, seemingly intending to get into the zombie wave. .

If it really succeeds, let alone capture it alive, even killing it will become extremely troublesome.

Suddenly, the javelin that penetrated the commander's back changed posture. Like a rope, it passed through the commander's wound and was tightly wrapped around the branches at its feet. The smooth blood could not resist the pull of the monster, but it also pulled the opponent. for a moment.

"I leave these three to you!"

Irene's body was submerged in the black smoke and passed directly between the three first-order monsters and went straight to the commander. Poluk, who met the monsters, took out a glass bottle. The regret of the mistake became the regret before him. The monster vented its anger. How could she have missed it if she hadn't learned about the ability to parasitize.

Moreover, the desire to come into contact with the disgusting commander's blood and return to his body to fight with him became less intense.

Chapter 24 Witch’s Action 2

"Want to run?!"

After easily passing through the obstruction of three first-order corpse apes, Irene's figure dragging a scythe emerged from the black smoke. The scarlet light in her eyes became more and more dazzling against the backdrop of the night.

Breaking free from the shackles of the strange blood, seeing that Commander Erin was already close enough, he still wanted to escape, but he also realized one thing: it was too late to escape at this time, and the giant scythe would use its final force before it turned around. Come at a fast speed.

It immediately turned around and commanded the corpse ape under him to swing its fist in the direction of Irene. The reason why it ran away was just because it didn't want to put itself in meaningless danger. As a commander, it had a large number of controlled zombies at its disposal. So why do you need to do it yourself?However, when it faces the moment when it has to fight on its own, the combat power it possesses when parasitizing the strongest individual in the zombie tide cannot be underestimated.

"!"

The rotating body almost brushed against the corpse ape's thick arm, and the fierce wind of the fist blew past the ears, causing a buzz that made people temporarily distracted. However, the combat instinct that had long been engraved in the bones of the witch tyrant did not require the command of subjective consciousness. , the instinctively twisted body still drove the blade of the sickle towards the opponent and left a shallow scratch on the corpse ape's waist.

The black blood slowly seeped out from the wound until the two passed by each other.

The body is very hard... but it's not impossible to cut... You don't need to see it with the naked eye, you can tell just by the feel that you have successfully cut the opponent's skin, which means that your judgment is not wrong.

"Gahhhhh!!!"

"Hoo hoo hoo hoo!!!"

This shallow wound actually had no impact on the commander at all. It only secreted a few drops of blood. It took just a few seconds for the wound to heal again. However, for the commander, it is the most important thing for its life safety. The strong protective skin was actually cut open for defense. Whether serious or not, this result plunged it into a great panic. Both it and the parasitic corpse ape let out a huge roar.

Danger!For a commander who is extremely concerned about his life, any danger can rise to a fatal level, which is enough for him to do whatever it takes to survive.

Corpse tide... Corpse tide... Instinctively, I wanted to command the zombie tide to protect myself, but my thoughts were immediately disrupted by the additional wounds on my body. The moment Irene crossed paths with the commander's figure, Irene had already adjusted her posture. He stepped on the tree in front of him, and without stopping for a moment, he ran towards the commander's figure and swung a second slash.

'puff! '

This time, there was an elongated wound on the commander's back again. It was a bit deeper and longer than the previous shallow wound. The injured person was no longer a parasitic target, and the long wound also penetrated its ontology.

"Hoohoho!!!"

Under the successive attacks, the commander's face showed a very human look of panic. The zombie ape's arms were waving wildly with great force but could not capture Irene's figure at all. Every time the two crossed each other, the commander would only be frightened. There was a more serious wound on the victim's body.

The battle is quick and decisive, and the commander must not be given any time to breathe.This is Irene's thinking. The first-order corpse apes that it protects are definitely not just the three that are currently fighting with Poluk. There must be others in the zombie tide. What she needs to do is not to give orders to the commander. Opportunities for instruction.

The wounds are getting denser and denser, and the speed of self-healing is getting slower and slower. After No. 12 misalignments, the commander's body is already covered with black bloodstains. The swing speed of his arms has obviously slowed down by half a beat, and even the sound He also became hoarse and short.

Do it again... Aiming at the commander's neck, which looked extremely short under his huge head, the handle of the sickle held behind his back opened the trajectory of the attack in advance.

And just when Irene was about to completely harvest the target in front of her, the commander's speed suddenly accelerated, and it broke off a thigh-thick branch at hand. The branch was more than ten meters long with countless branches. And the leaves were fanned in front of the trajectory of Erin's leap.

Boring trick... is it a last ditch effort?

Erin, who completed the atomization in an instant, avoided the sweeping branches, but unexpectedly the commander suddenly followed behind the sweeping tree trunks and rushed towards her.She maintained her atomized posture until the commander who was rushing towards her was about to pass through the black smoke that hid her figure. She suddenly realized that the commander was targeting Poluk over there.

When did the two battlefields get so close?Could it be that the commander deliberately let those three first-level monsters come closer?Cunning guy!

Irene didn't have time to think about it. The body that had remained hidden emerged from the black smoke. The next second, it collided heavily with the huge zombie ape parasitized by the commander. However, the weight difference between the two parties was too big. How could this girl's body be possible? It directly resists the most direct impact from the huge monster.

With a muffled sound from a distance, Irene's figure flew out and hit the giant tree behind her heavily. The violently shaking trees threw down large pieces of fallen leaves, and then slowly fell down with a harsh cracking sound. I don't know how much misfortune lies below. The walking corpse was smashed into pulp by Chiyu.

"Ho ho ho!!!" The successful counterattack brought great excitement to the commander. Although it had never been in contact with the witch before, its instinct told it that this powerful existence in front of it was stronger than human flesh and blood. Monster crystal cores are more valuable...

But this excitement did not last long. His body, which was intended to pursue victory, suddenly stiffened. A strong sense of crisis made him intend to escape immediately, but such an idea had just emerged. A spinning sickle wrapped in black smoke flashed from the front. Pass.The commander only felt that a white light suddenly lit up in front of his eyes, and his perspective suddenly flew up. It subconsciously wanted to control the body but found that there was no response from other body parts.

"The fun is over..."

The sight flew down from the high point and then dropped again. A hand stretched out from nowhere grabbed the severed neck and lifted the commander's head upside down in his hand. In its eyes, the dazzling scarlet pupils were bigger than It was more terrifying than any creature he had ever encountered before.

“Gah…gaaahhhh!!!”

After a moment of stunned silence, the commander let out an extremely piercing cry. At the same time, Irene also smelled a faint scent of tobacco... Is this the smell of the commander's pheromones?

Erin knew that this was the commander asking for help from the zombie tide, but she did not stop it. Instead, she stood there and looked at the zombie tide in the direction of the town to confirm that the zombie tide was moving this way.

"You... just now... what was that just now?" Poluk, who had dealt with three first-order corpse apes and had some blood loss reaction, came to Irene's side. He didn't laugh when he saw the other person's face was pale and tired. Instead, she hesitated and asked what that was. She had never seen that move before in her battle with Irene.

If it were her... would she be able to react when faced with it?

"This is the function of my weapon..." Irene only had this simple answer to Poluk's question, and then directly threw the commander's head at the opponent before she could continue to ask.

"Let's go."

"Go...where?" She hurriedly took the commander's head, which was still screaming, and then held it in her hands from a distance with a look of disgust. When she saw the bulge on the other person's head, her arms immediately became goosebumps. pimple.

"It's not far to the south." Recalling the plan Hiiragi Jing mentioned to her, Irene's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly. She had to say that Hiiragi Jing's plan really appealed to her, "There is an underground military there. Facility, these monsters must be happy to go there..."

Chapter 25 Return to the town

Like a tide, it suddenly appeared and then receded. It only took a few minutes. The tide of corpses that had just been swimming around in the shallow water area on the other side and roaring unwillingly suddenly suddenly turned around at the same time and left decisively towards the rear. , the continuous terrifying screams in the ears were replaced by the sound of running water surrounding the island in the middle of the river, and the night returned to the tranquility it should have been.

It was clear that there had been a fierce battle just now, but the sudden silence that descended on the town gave everyone who had experienced this life-and-death disaster an unreal feeling, like a nightmare that belonged to everyone.

But the ruins of their homes that were still burning with fire on the other side confirmed that everything they had just experienced was real. The dead silence lasted for an unknown length of time and was then broken by sobbing that came from nowhere. The sound seemed to wake them up. The switch of people's numb souls, the second sound... the third sound... more and more voices began to gather.

No one cheered loudly for the victory of the survivors, and no one cried loudly for the disaster of this night. They were silently grieving, for their dead relatives and friends, for the home they had lived in for a long time, or for the animals that represented all wealth. group……

In addition, there was also some heavy snoring in the air. Those were the guards fighting on the front line. They were so exhausted that they didn't even have the strength to grieve. They fell asleep with sandbags or mud as their pillows. He denied that the evening breeze blowing from the river not only brought the bloody stench, but also brought a sleepy coolness.

Even Rocco himself felt the weight of his eyelids, but he knew that he had more important things to do.

"Heza..."

"Everything has been arranged. The administrator is waiting for you in the main hall of the castle."

"Arrange some manpower rotation... Be careful of those guys coming back. As long as they think about it, this river can't stop them."

"understood."

After explaining something, he watched Heza go and convey his orders, and then Rocco dragged himself towards the castle under the guidance of a guard.

How long ago was the last time I came here... The strange yet familiar castle made Rocco want to start recalling the past, but he found that the memory of this castle had long been fragmented, but there was no need for that. It was too late to get to know this castle again. .

Two guards stood in front of the open door, still waiting. It could be seen from their faces that they were tired after fighting all night, but at the same time, an uncontrollable sense of excitement was also palpable. They knew very well how important they had done. At that time, detaining an administrator with a letter of appointment from the official government of the Ofanto Community was tantamount to rebellion, but no one was afraid of it. It was better to say that they had wanted to do it a long time ago.

In addition to loyalty, the characteristic of these first guards selected by Rocco is their status as autonomous citizens. Compared with other residents, they themselves are less afraid of Ofanto's authority, not to mention that Peps actually banned it. Guard members landed on the island and seized weapons and supplies that originally belonged to the town's guards. They had a long-standing grudge against the administrator's behavior.

"Come in together."

Rocco strode into the castle. The luxury he had been away from for a long time made him couldn't help but look at it a few more times, but he immediately stopped looking and looked at the center of the hall.

The housekeepers, maids, chefs, etc. in the castle were all gathered and detained here. Facing the several fierce guards with weapons around them, they could only tremble and dare not make the slightest move. Several of them had broken heads and bleeding. It seems that they have experienced the consequences of disobeying instructions.

"Bandage them... where's the administrator?"

"Come this way, Captain."

A low door behind the stairs on the same second floor in the hall was suddenly opened by a guard. Such a hidden room would not be discovered unless you look carefully. It should be the emergency refuge of the administrator who got the news when they landed on the island. .

Rocco finally met the administrator here. The indoor space here was not large, and Peps and the two guards who were watching over him already made the place look a bit crowded.

At this time, Pepps was sitting behind a low table. When he saw Rocco walking into the room, his face showed a panic, but it was quickly covered up.
