After everyone carefully inspected their equipment, they left the armored vehicle. The reason why Diana was not allowed to pack up the vehicle and leave was because Erica didn't want Ruby and Thrannier to follow them at first. But it was a pity.

, Ruby was extremely dissatisfied with this, and even used the willful temper of a child to hug Erica's thigh and not let go. For some reason, Threnir also joined in and hugged Erica's other leg.

Come support Ruby.

Erica originally planned to break free by force, but Ruby threatened that there was something inside that they couldn't handle, so she had to take her with her. She even said that if she didn't take it with her, she would file a complaint with Savina.

Faced with this subtle threat, Erica had no choice but to compromise, so she left Diana, who had little interest in fighting, to take care of the two children.

After Diana put away the armored vehicle, everyone came to a nearby section of city wall that was lower than the surrounding area. Liz and Puffy easily climbed up the two-meter section without any assistance.

A half-height mud brick city wall. The two of them were in the position of scouts. At present, they did not need to follow Erica, so after climbing the city wall, the two spread out to both sides and jumped off the city wall to investigate.

Anyway, the two of them have been communicating at this moment, and they can call for support if they encounter any problems.

After Liz and Puffy dispersed, Erica and Aurora began to take action. First, Aurora began to use her large-scale detection magic. She needed to grasp the general situation of the area in a short time.

, so she needed to stay in place for a short while, while Erica climbed the city wall first. She used her dagger as a piton and climbed up smoothly, but after climbing up, she was caught before she could alert herself.

The scenery below the city wall was stunning.

The city separated by a wall was full of corpses. Countless bloody corpses fell on the bloody road, and almost none of the body parts everywhere was complete. Almost every corpse had more or less

Several bloody bite marks remained. Of course, the owners of these bite marks were still nearby. They were the living dead who were lying on the ground eating the corpses like wild beasts.

The living dead, or walking corpses, are in short the kind of corpse monsters that Erica called "zombiees" before. They are just pure corpses themselves, so they are classified as "undead species", which gave birth to their appearance.

The reason is indeed related to the underworld, but at the same time it can also be regarded as some kind of distortion of natural laws, and the corpses that are usually resurrected are just half-dead and instinctive states, not as aggressive as they are now. From then on.

If we analyze the behavioral characteristics, the living dead in this world are very similar to those ancient legends on earth, and they are not particularly dangerous in the first place.

Ronan Castle's current situation is completely different from the last time he encountered it at the Engvar ruins. Although the zombies created by the conjurer last time were somewhat aggressive under the control of the conjurer, they were essentially

He was still just an ordinary low-level undead, but the living dead reflected in Erica's pupils at this moment looked like another species entirely.

The strong limbs of the living dead people who are eating below are completely beyond the normal state of human limbs. The twisted and rough muscles are completely different from the texture of normal human muscles. But judging from the appearance, their bones are in a certain shape.

In some aspects, it has also formed a completely different branch from humans. Putting aside everything else, at least Erica knows that human arms have only one elbow joint instead of two, and that humans should be covered with skin instead of muscles.

Partially exposed, etc., in short, all kinds of abnormal signs indicate that these things are not the same kind of zombies as the last time we encountered them. This kind of thing looks more lethal, just like the mutations in some B-level movies.

Zombies are just as weird.

Erica lowered her body and quietly lay on the city wall to observe the number and characteristics of the monsters around her, and tried to calculate how to break through to Jinghua Castle to find Earl Ronan. In terms of straight line distance, the distance between the city wall and Jinghua Castle was

The Flower Castle is estimated to be less than one kilometer, but the problem is that the buildings below are extremely messy, the roads are bumpy and troublesome like a maze, and the roads that are sometimes narrow and sometimes wide are filled with corpses and mutant zombies that are eating.

, if you want to penetrate it from below, it will probably take a lot of energy and time.

But the problem now is that this seems to be the only way that is barely feasible, and the buildings here are uneven and of varying quality and it is impossible to move along the roof, and each house is adjacent to each other, although it is dense but full of

It is dangerous, because every few mud-brick houses there will be a few simple houses such as thatched sheds, and houses with that kind of structure cannot be passed from the top.

While Erica was looking sad, Aurora came behind her without knowing it.

"Have you found a suitable road?" Erica asked quietly.

Aurora was a little stunned at first after looking at the scenery below, but then she took a few steps back alertly and said calmly: "There is no shortcut..."

"Really... This is going to give me a headache." Erica quietly glanced at the street below and then said quietly: "Want to fight all the way through?"

"I recommend this." Aurora took out our magic map and pointed to certain areas and said: "There are not many living dead here. We can kill them all and then isolate the civilian area. This

There are sections of city wall next to it, which seem to be used to separate civilian areas. We can use these two city gates to block the living dead in other areas..."

"It sounds good, but...how do we get to the castle?" Erica looked at the map that still didn't show any living dead and asked, "Is there any way to mark the location of the living dead?"

"I can't mark it anymore, so I can only use magic to get a general idea. If we go to the castle... there is really no safer way at the moment. But the noble area here is closer, and the road is wide enough. We

Maybe we can use your vehicle..." Aurora pointed to a wide continent on the map and then rowed it from beginning to end and said: "Crush it all the way... It shouldn't be a big problem."

Erica looked at the building complex on the map and thought about it for a while, because although she thought Aurora's method was very good, the problem was that on the way to the noble avenue, she had to pass through an area that was once lined with shops. According to the map,

The survivor's display shows that this area should be a very densely populated area, but relatively speaking, the number of mutant zombies is probably not small.

In the final analysis, Erica and the others are here just to deliver a message. At most, they can just rescue the Earl Ronan whom they have never met before. If his castle is not safe at all, they can rescue him and send him elsewhere.

, as for the issue of monsters in various cities, Erica is really reluctant to get involved. But this can only be said casually, because in the final analysis, the cause of the disaster is probably the last cult group, and their

The matter falls within the responsibilities of the Chosen One, which means that the zombie crisis here may need to be dealt with by Erica and others. To deal with this crisis, we need to work with the locals anyway, especially with the

You need to get in touch with Count Ronan and understand enough of the situation. Anyway, you can't just wander around in such a huge city like a headless fly.

"You know... I asked Diana to bring the 'little bird'... maybe... we can..." Erica said, looking in the direction of the Thorn Flower Castle.

"Forget it...the roar of the engine is really too loud. I guess if you really plan to drive the helicopter there, most of the monsters in the city will be attracted to it. Even the castle will probably be attracted by that time.

We can't stand the attacks of so many monsters..." After finishing speaking, Aurora pointed to another location on the map and said, "If you don't want to kill us, we can change the route. This is the sewer outlet of the city...

…”

"Stop!" As soon as Erica heard the word "sewer", she quickly grabbed Aurora's hand and shook her head and said: "I would rather fight those monsters head-on than go to that dark and damp place again.

The sewer smells bad!"

Aurora was stunned for a moment, and then smiled helplessly. It seemed to her that the bad encounters in the Envar Dungeon made her very sensitive to the word "sewer". It's just that she became very sensitive to the word "sewer".

She seemed to have forgotten something, that is, Erica had been to the sewer in Lavender before, and the situation there had nothing to do with what she just said. But in the final analysis, the so-called "city" in the principality

"Sewer" is actually just as Erica described it, except that the one in Lavender is a special case, and it is not an exaggeration to call a sewer of that level and size a "dungeon", but it is a pity that it can only be called a "dungeon".

That's it for the Wende family. There are actually several similar cities, but there is indeed only one city in the Principality of Michael, Lavender, that is in such a situation.

"Okay, let's start taking action..." Aurora put away the map and asked: "What should we do? Should we split up or..."

"There is no difference between dispersing under such unknown conditions and dying." Erica quietly glanced at Diana who was trying to build a staircase with magic at the bottom of the city wall and then asked Aurora: "What should she do?

?Follow?Or..."

"Ask her, but I'm quite concerned about what Ruby said...and..." Aurora was about to show off her posture with Saiga-12K, but she saw Erica giving AK-

The 74M was equipped with a silencer, so I was a little disappointed and asked: "Do you want to fight with a silencer?"

"That's right." After Erica installed the quick-release muffler, she looked up at Aurora and asked unexpectedly: "Aren't you worried about being too noisy?"

Avora looked at the Saiga-12K in her hand hesitantly, then looked at the 92FS in the holster under her ribs and the M1014 on her back and said helplessly: "I don't have a silencer..."

Erica looked up at the weapons on her body, then smiled and said, "Yes, there are quite a few types of silencers for shotguns...but I don't have them here."

In the original version, Aurora was happy to try out the shotgun silencer. She punched Erica angrily, and then Erica counterattacked without hesitation: "The shotgun silencer doesn't have much effect.

Usually it is only used occasionally during indoor anti-terrorism operations, so I am too lazy to buy that kind of thing, and it is troublesome to maintain. You can make do with this first, we may not be able to assassinate you all the way..." Erica said and took out her own

The spare P226 and two magazines were handed to Aurora.

This P226 is equipped with a silencer and a gun light, but this P226 is different from the one Erica used last time. It seems that the paint is updated, and there is a small red dot sight on the sleeve.

Erica took off her backpack and took out a holster and handed it to Aurora and said: "The new P226 E6 I bought two years ago has not been used much..."

"New model?" Aurora took the gun in her hand and tried it before saying, "Indeed... the grip is much more comfortable than before..."

"You haven't set off yet? Why..." Diana, who had just climbed up, was shocked by the bloody scene below before she could finish her question. She also subconsciously covered her hands with her hands and followed behind her, wanting to look forward.

The eyes of Ruby and Threnir.

Diana's face was absolutely terrible. She looked dissatisfied at the mutant zombies that were eating corpses below and then stepped on the mud brick wall under her feet. Erica only felt a breeze blowing past her.

Immediately afterwards, I heard a dull stabbing from behind. When I turned around, I saw that several mutant zombies that were feasting near the city wall turned into piles of meat scattered on the ground. But this level of damage seemed to

It was not completely dead, at least Erica found that the head that rolled to the ground was still chewing the flesh and blood in its mouth.

"Can't you kill me?" Erica muttered worriedly upon seeing this.

"It should be unkillable... It's similar to the ordinary living dead. It only needs to destroy the limbs or destroy the head. In short, it is enough to make it lose its ability to attack. The rest is to be concentrated and destroyed..." Aurora used one of her

Zang Magic observed the mutated zombie that was cut into pieces and said: "Their coping methods seem to be similar to those of ordinary living dead, except that their bodies are stronger. This is good news..."

Erica nodded with relief upon hearing this, then opened the communication and told Liz and Puffy the contents of the plan.

"Did you all hear it?" Erica confirmed seriously after finishing speaking.

"clear."

"Heard..."

Erica noticed that there was a clear difference in the tone of the two people. It seemed that Puffy's state was a little subtle. It seemed that she was not used to this kind of bloody scene at all. Although Liz sounded no different from usual, Erica guessed that

She was just holding on. After all, no one would like this kind of scene with corpses scattered all over the place, and these corpses were of all ages and genders, but no one with a normal mind would be happy to see them.

If there really is a hell in this world, I'm afraid the scene is nothing more than this.

"Very good, then the action begins. You two will be responsible for closing the city gate first...be sure to pay attention to safety!" After Erica finished speaking, she looked at Diana behind her, and then curled her lips in confusion.

"I know..." Diana spoke first: "I'll just stay here. If you need support, just call me."

Erica reluctantly nodded in agreement, and then she looked down at Ruby, but the little guy seemed to be looking in the direction of the noble area in a daze. Erica looked at the side next to her in confusion.

Threnir, but she seemed to be in a similar state to Ruby, always staring in that direction.

"They've been like this since they came up..." Diana whispered into Erica's ear and said, "I can't sense anything, and I can't see anything with the detection magic... But I don't think Ruby is.

You are lying, there is probably something dangerous here, please be careful."

"I understand." Erica nodded and jumped down from the city wall with a gun in hand.
