Lily swings her sword and hangs a zombie that has slipped through a crack in the iron fence, then kicks the zombie against the iron fence. The iron fence, which was already mostly reddened, immediately scalded the zombie's skin and flesh.

This zombie's body is very thin, it must have been malnourished before death, otherwise it would not have been able to get through the cracks in the iron fence.

The zombie was still moving when the iron fence was attached, but as some of its festering skin was burned black, its limbs gradually stopped moving. If it hadn't been seen early on and still moving after being hanged by a sword, it would definitely be regarded as a normal ordinary person.

However, as the body fell silent, a long "head" suddenly "grew" from the broken position of the neck.

"Uh......" Lily's sword that was about to fall again stopped. Then she took two steps back as if she had been electrocuted, "What is this?" ”

The "head" that "grows" from the break in the neck is flat and elongated. The apex appears to be the part of the insect's mouthparts, with a pair of long fangs constantly shaking, under which are dense lower limbs, and at the upper end are two bulging compound eyes. It makes people's scalp straight and numb.

Fang Qiuling glanced at it, and also took half a step back: "...... I don't know. It feels a bit like a centipede. ”

"Huh! This kind of big bug shouldn't be a specialty here, right? ”

Lily made it clear that she was disgusted.

"Not really! There's no such a disgusting bug here! ”

Insects are something that most people don't like very much. Especially after the mega-sized, people can't help but scream when they see it.

Fang Qiuling said that he did not carry this pot.

"This thing, this thing is the culprit!" Fang Qiuling and Lily didn't know this kind of big bug, but Xiao Yue did, and she gasped and said, "This kind of bug is the kind of parasite that crawled into the corpse from the mouth just said. If they are given enough nutrients, then they will become pupae like silkworm pupae and butterflies, and then become ...... That kind of thing! ”

Satsuki pointed to the giant ghost-faced butterfly in the sky.

I heard a loud "bump", and the iron fence burst open on the support of the wall. The finger-thick screws broke, and the iron fence instantly fell in half.

Although the fiery glue is still burning, and many zombies have turned into charcoal ashes in the flames, it can't stand the large number of zombies. If you jump on the wall of the small courtyard, you can see that there are still countless zombies pouring out of the morgue, as if the morgue is connected to another world, and there are endless zombies.

"They are the kind of social structures that resemble ants and bees, consisting of 'mother worms' and 'worker worms'. These people running on the ground are 'worker worms', and the one in the sky is 'mother worms'! As long as the 'mother worm' is killed, the 'worker worm' will fall into chaos and ......"

Satsuki was halfway through her words before she stopped. Because she found that it didn't make sense, there was a problem.

The social structure of ants and bees, there can be an infinite number of "worker worms", but there should only be one "mother worm"! Fang Qiuling had just killed a "female worm" with a casual blow, but now why did another "female worm" appear in the sky?

What Xiao Yue could think of, Fang Qiuling also thought of.

"This thing is now a plural 'female worm'? Shouldn't we just meet them and want to 'separate'? ”

According to the social structure of ants and bees, when the number of "worker insects" in the nest increases to a certain number, and there is a surplus of labor in the "worker insects" and the phenomenon of crowded nest workers in the nest, the "worker insects" will independently build a new breeding room to cultivate new "mother worms". And the old "mother" will gradually stop laying eggs and accumulate physical strength. When a new "mother" is about to be born, the old "mother" will leave with some of the stronger "workers" and choose a new place to build a nest again. This is also known as "separation".

But this is a bit too coincidental, as soon as the investigation team arrives, a new "mother worm" is born.

"Separation?" Satsuki thought for a moment, "It seems that there is a possibility...... It is likely that they moved a little too much when they 'separated', so they were discovered. ”

At present, it is impossible to contact the local joint defense team, which makes it impossible for the investigation team to confirm the situation in the 771 area in the first place. Judging from the actual situation at the moment, the number of zombies in front of me is unbelievable, and it seems that the entire town is concentrated here. It is hard to believe that it happened in a short period of time.

The act of parasitism seems simple, and the "worker worm" will be done with a drill into the mouth, but in fact it is not like this. After the "worker worm" invades from its mouth, it takes a certain amount of time to control the corpse. It takes time for them to insert their mouthparts into the brain, and it takes time for the other arthropods to "adjust" their new bodies. It must have taken a lot of time to be able to manipulate corpses to run, pounce, and gnaw like this. If the corpse can be manipulated to such a point just by parasitism, it is estimated that the 771 area should report the "corpse tide".

The third type of invasion reported this time should have started a long time ago, but it was initially very stealthy and unnoticed. And with the gradual increase in the number of "worker bugs", the number of zombies has also begun to increase. When the numbers rise to a certain level, it is not surprising that they are discovered.

"So as long as you kill this ghost-faced butterfly, it should be solved, right?"

"Probably ......"

"The spiritual power of that big moth just now is so strong, so the connection between the 'mother worm' and the 'worker worm' should also be carried out through spiritual waves, right? I knocked down the big moth, and the part of the zombies it controlled got out of control? ”

"Maybe ......"

There was a lot of uncertainty in Xiao Yue's words, and Fang Qiuling couldn't help but turn around and ask, "Xiao Yue, have you dealt with similar invasions?" ”

"No, it's the first time. Previously, it was handled by the team leader and the night watchman. ”

Satsuki shook her head very honestly. No experience is no experience, and there is nothing to shy away from.

“…… All right. ”

Fang Qiuling originally hoped that Xiao Yue's experience could be used as a reference for him, but unfortunately, there was no need to think about it......

Several claws immediately poked out from the half-collapsed iron fence. The zombies completely ignored the pain and did not care about the losses, and launched an extremely frantic attack. The iron fence leaned even more heavily under their cluster, and it was not known whether the "Iron General" would have fallen first, or if the fixed nut screws at the bottom would have broken first.

"What now? Come up with an idea! ”

Lily slashed off several heads with a swing of her sword and threw a bottle of fiery gel with her backhand. The flames burst into flames, instantly turning the zombies in front of them into a big ball of fire. The scorching smell in the air then became more intense.

"Kill that thing flying in the sky first! That's always right, right? ”

Hearing this, Fang Qiuling immediately put forward his own thoughts.

"Yes, let's take out the biggest threat first!"

Lily agreed. Xiao Yue looked up, and then immediately expressed her approval.

Now that we have a goal, how do we start?

The ghost-faced butterfly is flapping its wings and flying in the sky. Let's say it's far, in fact, it's not far, it is estimated that it is seventy or eighty meters, and it will definitely not exceed a hundred meters. If it was on flat ground, Fang Qiuling and Lily would casually accelerate their charge, and they would be able to slash the long sword in their hands into it in two or three breaths. Let's say it's close, in fact, there is a bit of a distance, at least this distance is impossible to directly injure it with sword qi, even if the attack distance of the sword qi is several times longer than that of ordinary swordsmanship, it can't reach it. You must use a ranged weapon, such as a crossbow.

Fang Qiuling didn't think much about it, and directly took out the two-handed crossbow - long-range attack.

"This thing doesn't have enough range!"

Lily is a paladin and is not allowed to use a crossbow. But not allowing it doesn't mean that you don't understand, especially the two crossbows in Fang Qiuling's hand, Lily didn't play with them less when she was in Elune.

"Not enough range?"

Every time I used my crossbow, it was at close range, about 10 to 20 paces. Therefore, Fang Qiuling, a half-hanger, did not know the maximum range of the crossbow very well.

"yes, shoot half at most!"

Fang Qiuling immediately put away his crossbow, and then quickly took out a hunting bow from the storage bag.

"Uh......" Lily was stunned, she didn't expect Fang Qiuling to bring so many weapons, "You can also shoot arrows?" ”

"A little."

"Can you shoot?"

“…… I don't know. ”

Fang Qiuling knew that his archery skills were very ordinary. It can even be said that it is not average, but the kind that is relatively poor.

If you use a crossbow, with the basic shooting knowledge of "three points and one line", plus the relatively close distance, so you have not missed a hand so far.

Seventy or eighty meters apart, this distance wants to be shot with a bow and arrow...... Fang Qiuling said that it should be possible. But if it is said that it is not only necessary to hit, but also to deal effective damage to the target, and to make a kill if it progresses...... Forget it, it's nice to be able to shoot.

Compared to the mastery of melee weapons such as swordsmanship and sword techniques, and melee combat skills, long-range attacks such as bows and arrows require more time and effort. Fang Qiuling had only stepped into the "Inner World" for more than three months in total, and he had some experience in melee weapon mastery and melee combat. But in terms of long-range weapons, he is forcibly supporting it with his improved basic attributes.

"Or ...... Are you coming? ”

Fang Qiuling stepped forward and kicked back the zombie that had drilled through the iron fence, and the zombie fell into the still burning fiery glue and quickly burned.

"I'm a paladin, I don't use a bow and arrow!"

Lily glared at Fang Qiuling dissatisfied.

“……”

Fang Qiuling was speechless.

The present world is already the information age, and there are not many people who can recite the rules of classical knights without saying that they are followed. Not to mention that Fang Qiuling is still a rather "simple" pragmatist, and the means to be "above board" and "in line with chivalry" or something are secondary. Practical priority at critical moments, as long as you can hurt and kill the enemy, everything else will be thrown aside first.

Just when the two of them stared at each other, a dull ...... suddenly sounded around them Gunshot?

- Bang!

Fang Qiuling was taken aback. Except in movies and television, it is the first time that I have heard gunshots in person.

Lily was also scared, because she also likes war-themed films, and she has watched a lot of them recently. The sound of gunfire was not unfamiliar to her. Although she has not experienced the fear of being pointed at gunpoint, she is still very clear about the consequences of the gunshots - either death or maiming!

The gun, a unique "crossbow" in the world, left a very, very deep impression on Lily. If she could choose something unique to this world to bring back to Elune as a gift, Lily would undoubtedly choose a gun. Of course, it's a gun that shoots a weapon, not a long fire fork that a spearman uses......

The two hurriedly turned around, and then saw Xiao Yuezhu holding an assault rifle, and the muzzle of the assault rifle was facing the ghost-faced butterfly in the sky. I saw Xiao Yue pull the trigger, and immediately another gunshot rang out.

Fang Qiuling's eyes suddenly lit up. A small man thumped his palm in his head—but in this world, a gun is much more powerful than a bow and arrow.

Xiao Yue's communication machine immediately heard a call: "Here is the second group, here is the second group, I heard a gunshot, please confirm!" ”

The little rabbit's voice sounded a little later: "Here is a group, here is a group, we have heard gunshots, we have heard gunshots!" ”

Satsuki's hand pressed the button on the communicator, and the other hand was still holding the assault rifle: "This is the commander, this is the commander, I am attacking a target in the sky, I am attacking a target in the sky." Groups 1 and 2 are still on standby! Complete. ”

"One set received, done."

"Second group received, over."

After two bursts, Satsuki switched the assault rifle to burst fire and pulled the trigger on the target in the sky. A crisp gunshot rang out, and Satsuki launched an attack on Ghostface Butterfly with three bursts of fire.

"Did you hit?"

"Hit...... But it doesn't seem to have much effect. ”

"Nothing to do?"

Lily couldn't believe it.

The power of firearms in movies and TV is "leverage"! And, of course, there are more powerful things like artillery and tanks...... In the face of soldiers who have no armor to defend themselves, the bullets fired from the guns can be described as one shot at a time! The ghost-faced butterfly in front of him doesn't look like it has a hard shell, how can the firearm be ineffective?

"I saw 'ripples' in the air and a slight scattering of light." Fang Qiuling's face was a little more solemn, "It seems to be ......"

The current technology of the world is still mainly "hard defense" for the defense of bullets. Of course, the first choice is steel plates, and considering factors such as weight, reinforced ceramic plates and composite ceramic plates are also often used. However, whether it is a steel plate or a ceramic plate, it is the hardness of the material itself to resist the kinetic energy of the bullet, and then achieve the effect of defense.

But at this moment, you can faintly see a circular barrier in front of Ghostface, which perfectly resists the attack of assault rifle bullets. If this is the result of science and technology, then is this an electromagnetic protective barrier, or is it a gravitational repulsion? But no matter what it is, it must be a big power consumer. The Ghostface Butterfly is not a humanoid weapon with a wire behind its butt, and it has to fly in the sky, and it can't carry a large-capacity battery with it. So the rest may be......

"It's a defensive spell!"

Feeling the slight fluctuations that came out, Lily immediately recognized it.

"It's a mental defense field!"
