I, the undead, save the world with the dolls

"That's it. Hey, the dog is so smart." Sun Yang hugged the dog and rubbed his head. It felt great!

"Hehehe~" The dog rubbed Sun Yang's chin, enjoying it very much.

"Commander, do you have any other missions?" M14 asked Sun Yang after standing guard for a while with the machine gun and rifle teams nearby.

"Oh, sorry I was talking just now. There are no more missions, you guys should come back. Well, it's still early, call the diving team back, we can also go to the secret harbor for a walk." Sun Yang looked at the sky and decided to explore forward for a distance.

Soon, the diving team returned to the vicinity. Sun Yang sent the team back, then passed through the passage of the giant fire tower, went down the circular stairs, and came to the bottom floor of the Hyde ruins.

This was probably the secret escape route of the Hyde Kingdom, or perhaps an underground passage or smuggling route connecting to other places. The surrounding walls were very solid, so the sea didn't see much in. You could see torches lit around to illuminate the surroundings.

Each team assumed a combat marching stance and began to explore forward.

27 Let's get some information and then go

It was cold and damp. M4 fired his assault rifle repeatedly, eliminating every enemy standing before him. He fought his way down the stairs, passing through numerous passages blocked by rocks, likely passages to other buildings.

After finding a bag of ashes of a noble person in a hidden box, Sun Yang continued to move forward with the humanoid figure. Soon, the group arrived in front of a large automatic platform. The hinges on the platform clicked and moved them deeper.

I didn't know how far down I'd gone, probably several dozen meters. Water had accumulated on the floor before me, reflecting the light from the torches on the walls. It seemed like there was a leak somewhere, and the drainage system was in poor condition.

The enemies were still few in number, and the humanoids quickly passed through the area, killing the curse frogs downstairs, moving the petrified human bodies, dealing with the colossi upstairs, and taking all the supplies here, including an elemental fragment.

At the end of this road, there was a hole in the wall that was dug by something. Through the hole, you could see the thick brick wall inside and the gradually changing rock layers behind it.

This place was probably originally a refuge, but some daring people dug a hole to get in. Inside this cave, you can see a stream of water flowing into the passage.

Of course, it is also possible that this is a passage dug by the Hyde people themselves.

M4 was still in the lead. The cave wasn't wide enough, so only one person could fit through. The cave was a mess, sometimes going up, sometimes down, and even had blocked forks.

Gradually, the road became wider, and the low stone walls above were no longer there, but stalactites several meters high. This huge cave was several meters high, and the wet stone floor was a bit slippery.

After an unknown amount of time, M4 said she heard the wind. Everyone perked up, quickened their pace, and finally found a campfire near a relatively wide rock wall.

Sun Yang lit the campfire, but instead of sitting down, he sent someone to check the distance. AR15 volunteered, swiftly leaving with his weapon on his back.

"If my level sensor is working correctly, we're above sea level now. We'll probably be able to see it soon." M4 said to Sun Yang.

Sure enough, within a few minutes, AR15 transmitted a message, and she had found a large harbor. The harbor was hidden in a huge cave, and she could still see lights inside.

Just like in the game, Secret Harbor is still there. Sun Yang nodded. The real Secret Harbor would be bigger than in the game, with more enemies. But things might change.

After all, the Secret Harbor in the game is full of enemies, which is unreasonable.

If a secret port is functioning properly, allowing people to enter and exit, then it must be managed by someone with a normal brain. Lisu, who died, said she came by boat; she couldn't have stowed away, could she? There are at least two NPCs there who can communicate.

But there was no rush. He needed to go back to Rumi first to put down his burdens and strengthen his elemental bottle. After waiting for AR15 to return, Sun Yang sent the dolls back and then walked towards the campfire to return to Rumi.

The scenery in front of him changed, and the bright sunshine like honey appeared in front of Sun Yang.

It was a rare sight for Sun Yang to see Gullenkel and veteran Bradley sitting on a rock by the campfire and chatting, while the green-robed girl still looked uninterested.

"Oh? Isn't this Sun Yang? How was it? How many times did you die when you were breaking into the fortress? Hmm? Your clothes look pretty good." Gulenkel asked enthusiastically after seeing Sun Yang come in.

"Well, not even once... I'm very afraid of death, so I'm very cautious." Sun Yang said after thinking for a while.

"Huh? You don't just fight zombies and hang around the door every day, do you?" Gulenkel said with a frown.

"I've told Grenkel a long time ago that he is an ordinary clergyman. What he needs is not the instinct to survive, but the courage to fight! Training like this will only produce a coward with no confidence!" The veteran Bradley sitting next to him scolded Grenkel.

"That's because after I finished training, those young guys died too many times before they were ready, and they all turned into zombies! I can't protect them forever!" Gulenkel roared at the veteran without hesitation.

"Oh, excuse me. I want to ask, what is it like after death? Maybe after I know that, I will be more courageous, right?" Seeing that there were two combat bosses here, Sun Yang asked directly.

This is what Sun Yang cares about most. Although he will try his best to avoid death, there will always be a time when the humanoid cannot take care of him, or when he himself dies suddenly due to negligence.

"That's a really strange question." Gulenkel stopped arguing with the old soldier. His expression was strange, as if someone was asking what one plus one equals.

"I've seen people who have never died, and they all end up becoming zombies due to the scarcity of their souls and amnesia, without exception. Tell him, Grenkel, any rational undead is precious." The old soldier changed his sitting position.

"Death, first you realize you're dead, and the next moment you're rising from the campfire. Don't let your weapon drop from your hand when you're dying, or it will be gone. I once lost a very good sword, and now I can't find it."

"Of course, after death, curses accumulate in your body, and your face turns green, which is a sign of zombie transformation. Of course, appearance and memory don't always correspond. Look at the blacksmith, even though he's green, his memory is still pretty good. The guy who drew the map even forgot why he came here."

"The lost souls will slowly gather into a ball at the location, and will disappear over time. Of course, the time and space environment of this place is unreliable, so if we don't get them quickly, the remaining souls will be lost."

"Normally, after death, you'll lose some of your memory. It's up to you to find your lost soul. But be careful. If you keep dying while in a zombie state, you'll lose more and more memory.

"Every time you die, the curse will accumulate in your body, and you will become weaker and weaker. The longer and deeper the process of becoming a zombie, the faster and more memories you will lose."

"If you have a strong will, you can hold on for a long time on the brink of complete zombie transformation. But most people will become weaker in constant battle and completely become one of the zombies in the wild. At that time, you will be completely lost in the chaos of Dolan Gureg."

Gulenkel looked at Sun Yang's serious face with satisfaction, and kept shaking his legs with his legs crossed.

The veteran on the side took over and sternly warned Sun Yang:

"Sun Yang, the accumulation of curses isn't always scary. Everyone dies. As long as you can get your soul back, it doesn't matter if you remain as a zombie for a few weeks. As long as your soul is strong enough, you can suppress the effects of the curse. If you pick up a life-sustaining ring, your memory loss and transformation into a zombie will be greatly slowed down."

"But remember, completely lost memories are difficult to regain. Even with portraits, some things will be forgotten. Furthermore, humans themselves gradually forget many things. You might not even notice how much you've forgotten until the very end."

Sun Yang nodded, then offered his summary: "In short, upon death, one loses the soul, which contains memories. At the same time, curses accumulate in the body, and the accumulation of curses gradually weakens the body's performance. The more souls in the body, the stronger it becomes, and the more it can resist the effects of the curse. The Life-Suspension Ring has the same effect."

"Hmm~ I can make a summary. Death is terrible, but compared to those who only have one life, no matter how high the price is, it is nothing to worry about. Sun Yang, fear death, but don't let fear take over your mind."

The veteran smacked his lips and uttered a piece of life philosophy.

"Okay, I have a few more questions." Sun Yang felt like he had a series of dialogue trees. Clicking one would get him a bunch of answers and conversations, and then he really liked to finish clicking through the dialogue trees.

"Ask, we won't be stingy in sharing our experience." Gulenkel was also happy that someone asked.

"Isn't there a giant eagle in Doran's Fortress that can fly with a huge iron golem? I heard that there is a nest in the fortress, and the eagle will take the people in the nest to a new place." Sun Yang asked the first question.

"That's the Cursed One. Your vigilance saved your life, Sun Yang." Gullenkol and the old soldier's faces turned ugly. No one wanted to face that kind of monster.

"I know about the eagle's nest, but it's just a rumor. Why do I say it's a rumor? Because I've been lying in it for a day and a night, and no eagle has taken me away! Hahaha! How stupid!" After saying this, Gulenkel touched his helmet and couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, then next question. Is Secret Harbor a gathering place for the undead?" Sun Yang threw out the next option on the dialogue tree.

"You're quite inquisitive, kid. You've found out a lot of things in just a short time since you arrived. It's true that a few undead appear there occasionally. After all, there's a magic ship that can sail by itself, so there are always people taking the ship from other places." Grenkel nodded and said.

"The space-time structure there is relatively stable, and you can occasionally encounter conscious undead. However, to get through here, you need to pass through the deserted country of Hyde and defeat the dragoons." The veteran added.

"If you want to challenge the Dragoons, you can summon me there. But I'll have to share a portion of your soul with you. Oh, and there's a somewhat popular Green Church temple there. There's a somewhat powerful Iron Golem you can challenge. Don't worry about the guy inside; he's just an idiot."

Gulenkel directly criticized the man from the Green Church Temple. He had also met him in his own world and probably felt that communicating with him was too difficult.

"But when I went there before, it was full of crazy pirates and smugglers, as well as spies who were hunting down the undead. Many people were chopped into pieces as soon as they got off the ship. Only those who were lucky and strong could survive there. Like me." Gulnkel boasted.

"The magic ship will sail along a fixed route. It will dock at each place it arrives at, ring the local bell, and then proceed to the next location. Sometimes you have to rely on luck to wait for the ship to arrive." The veteran added a few words.

"By the way, there is also this summoning rune. It actually has its own particularities..." Gulenkel instilled a lot of knowledge about the summoning rune into Sun Yang.

"I've learned a lot, thank you very much. Hey, I'm so lucky to meet you two in this damn place." Sun Yang couldn't help but sigh. It turns out that people still need to talk to others at least a little, otherwise their brains will get weird.

However, there are still many things about myself that I cannot reveal. At least, the fewer people who know that I have many humanoids, the better. For now, I will just be a noob.

"It's okay. People should always help each other." The old soldier just shrugged.

"There seems to be no problem here. I'm going to level up..." Sun Yang looked at the girl in green robe beside him.

"Go ahead." Gulenkel did not try to stop him. He took out his weapon and began to maintain it.

"Sister, let's level up~" Sun Yang squatted down again.

"Ha, I still think it's too weird to call me sister." Gulenkel shook his head and simply regarded it as one of Sun Yang's unique quirks.

Sun Yang ignored Gulenkel and looked at his panel.

Vitality 11 Energy 10 Stamina 8 (30) Willpower 21 Strength 11 (30) Agility 6 Adaptability 9 Intelligence 4 Faith 20

This time, there were many more levels to level up. The Hyde area was cleared, along with the Red Dragon, Ancient Dragon Hunter, Dragon Rider, Lixu, and some of the enemies behind. These enemies had given Sun Yang a large amount of souls, and he estimated that there were tens of thousands of souls.

After thinking for a moment, Sun Yang invested his own points.

Vitality 12 Energy 12 Stamina 10 (30) Willpower 21 Strength 12 (30) Agility 8 Adaptability 10 Intelligence 10 Faith 25

It was a bit of a relief. Basically, it strengthened my weak body, increasing my basic strength, flexibility, physique, and explosive power. It also improved my spellcasting attributes.

Although Sun Yang's goal is to be a spellcaster, he cannot accept that a weak mage will be defeated once he is attacked.

Therefore, his upgrade idea is to mainly improve his spellcasting ability, and the remaining little bit will improve his physical performance.

By the way, during the summoning process, Sun Yang clearly felt that with the increase of faith value, the mana consumption required to summon humanoids also decreased, and the physical sensations of summoning different holy bells were also different.

Simply put, the amount of mana required for humanoid summoning mainly depends on the casting effect of the catalyst and the value of faith.

Sun Yang had no plans to enhance the Holy Bell for now; it wouldn't be too late to do so once he got his graduation equipment. For now, he could just focus on improving its stats.

He clicked "Confirm" in his mind. His soul quickly strengthened Sun Yang's body. This time, he became stronger in all aspects. He felt like a superman.

Of course, in addition to his brain, Sun Yang raised his IQ to double digits and tried to recall the math knowledge he had learned in high school. He still couldn't understand anything, and there was no feeling that everything in front of him had become clearer.

Sun Yang thanked the green-robed girl and strengthened his elemental bottle. He said hello to the two older brothers who were still chatting, then walked towards the campfire and continued on his way to Secret Harbor.

The surroundings changed again, transforming into a cold, damp cave. Sun Yang sat down by the campfire and took out the ashes of the nobleman from his office.

This ashes possessed the power to enhance the healing effects of the elemental bottle. When Sun Yang placed the ashes near the campfire, they instantly transformed into flying sparks. He pulled out the elemental bottle, and the sparks immediately flew into it. The orange juice in the bottle grew brighter.

While waiting for Mars to fly into the bottle, Sun Yang thought a little about the human form.

It was indeed just a little bit. He spent only a few minutes thinking about it while burning the ashes of the noble person.

I didn't want to be seen in my human form before, mainly because I was afraid someone would covet my human form and stab me in the back or cause me trouble. This is very normal in the world of Dark Souls.

But now, my progress is not only incredibly fast, but also as fast as playing a game. Honestly, I don't think there is any need to hide it.

If you think about it, in Dark Souls 2, apart from the red spirits that invade across worlds, or the red spirits that form a group to harm Rumi, there are really no other powerful guys that can come to your door.

Moreover, unlike other generations, many people in this generation have to deal with the problem of amnesia. Things are very tight and they don’t have the time to invade others.

Those who are still conscious will either give up or try their best to find a way to solve the problem of zombie transformation. Only a few who are on the verge of zombie transformation or who love killing will invade other worlds, kill the world master, and seize the portrait.

In this situation, if you can organize five or six people to kill one person, it is better to go together to kill the boss. Killing one person may not even have enough souls to share.

While Red Spirits are one of the most numerous in Dark Souls 2 (sad), there's also the Lost, a powerful Red Spirit lost in various worlds. So Dark Souls 2 not only has a lot of bros, bosses, and enemies, but also a lot of Red Spirits. It's so lively (gritting your teeth)!

As for the more powerful bosses, in the world of Dark Souls 2, the top boss is Andir. It doesn't matter whether you hide or not when facing him. The others basically don't move and are very honest.

Then there's no need to hide. Sun Yang swung his gun beside the campfire, unleashing three Dolls without draining their mana bars. After several firefights, Sun Yang pulled out the AR team again. The Rifle and Machine Gun teams rested first. The complex environment of Mir Harbor required Dolls with high strength and proficiency in close combat.

So Sun Yang called out the rebellious team again. AN94 and AK12 still looked dull, but AK15 gave people a very happy feeling.

"Why are you so excited?" AK12 keenly noticed that the atmosphere around AK15 was a bit strange.

"I'm not excited. It's just my duty to fulfill my duties as a commander." AK15 said indifferently.

"If your mind were freed a little, you would definitely jump for joy right now." AK12 made a screw-tightening motion.

"No, I feel fine. Extra emotions will interfere with my fighting." AK15 was still standing. In front of her, Sun Yang was staring at the screen, gesturing up and down with his fingers.

"Ayang needs some time to plan the route. Wait a moment." AR15 sat cross-legged on the ground with two guns on his back.

"I think the commander is just looking for a candidate. 15, you really protect the commander." M16 joked.

"This isn't about protecting someone. It's normal to choose someone based on the route." AR15 retorted.

"It's very common among humans to favor the one they like. I don't think there's any need to worry about it." M4 blinked, offering support to her sister.

"I still don't understand, why do you two like the Commander so much? Of course the Commander is excellent, but I hardly have the urge to hug him." RO, the most serious and reliable member of the AR team, couldn't help but say.

"RO, are you lacking passion? You feel very comfortable when the commander hugs you, but you are a little fragile, so you have to be careful with you." Gouzi said while lying on RO's thighs.

"No thanks, I don't have any ideas for now." RO glanced at the commander, who was still choosing, and shook his head. Respect was one thing, but treating the commander like a member of the opposite sex was another.

"Then you can't eat secretly when I sleep with Ayang in the future." AR15 said with a little seriousness.

"After all, the commander only has two hands." M4 added.

"Why should I listen to my two teammates discussing how to become the commander, and in front of the commander? You guys are letting yourselves go too far." RO could only sigh deeply.

"15, you're really protecting the commander." AK12 seized the opportunity to repeat it to AK15 next to her. She looked like she had been wanting to do this for a long time.

"I can tell which 15 is being called. I only follow the commander's orders and don't guess what the commander is thinking." AK15 still stared at Sun Yang without blinking.

"Have I led you astray by saying too many weird things? Why are you all so careless? I just listened to Pascal's progress report. Now let me talk about the mission." The more Sun Yang listened, the more outrageous it became, and he closed the window.

[Understood, AR team enters combat mode.] The humanoids immediately shut their mouths as M4's voice came through.

"We're going to kill people anyway. Our commander is much stronger than Anjie, which I like." The sound of an AK12 could be heard.

"There's a rescue mission. From what I understand, there are three people here who can still communicate. We need to make contact with them. The first one is called Carrion, an old man wearing cloth clothes, not green leather, so he's easy to spot. If you encounter him, calm him down and let me communicate."

"The second one is a woman wearing beautiful, slim-fitting clothes and a mask, carrying a large sword and a round shield. Her name is Rukatiye. If you see her, support her and keep her steady. I'll go and communicate with her. Don't call her name, she's wary."
