Erica and Aurora's retreat was relatively safe, and they did not encounter any monster attacks until they met Liz who came to rescue them.

This does not mean that all the mutant zombies in the business district have been killed. At least judging from the feedback received from Puffy, who is still investigating, there are at least two or three mutant fusion monsters in the business district. As for

The number of mutant zombies is estimated to be more than 5,000. Not to mention the aristocratic district next door, it is a nightmare, and even Puffy dare not approach easily.

As for the civilian area, the danger has indeed been eliminated, so Erica has listed it as a safe area to accommodate survivors encountered during outside reconnaissance. If Morana, who was just found, is not counted, Erica and others

In the past half hour, people had rescued nearly a hundred survivors, and among them there were many nobles and soldiers from Jinghua Castle who risked their lives to investigate.

Regarding the attitude of the survivors, Erica and others just maintained a state of not helping, which meant that it was over once they were rescued. As for the random demands of the noble survivors, Diana, who stayed there, could only

He took out his Beretta 90TWO F and rewarded them with a 9mm bullet to express his views on them. Of course, the bullet only shattered the mud bricks behind the nobles and did not hit the opponent directly, but even so, anyone with a normal mind can

It should be clear that people like Diana are not people to be trifled with.

As for the soldier who came out of the castle, he had a rough understanding of Earl Ronan's condition after a not-so-candid exchange with him. It seemed that Earl Ronan fainted in anger because of the zombie attack on the city.

But fortunately, there is a very skilled healing magician in the castle, so the count's health is not seriously affected at present. Various countermeasures have been organized to eliminate the zombies around the castle, and the effect is very ideal.

.

Knowing this one-sided information is enough for Erica and others. All they have to do is to clean up the surrounding group of mutant fusion monsters and then head directly towards the castle. Everyone also discovered this during the previous investigation.

A kind of twisted tentacle monster that looks very similar to a fusion monster can control the surrounding mutant zombies to attack survivors. After some actual combat tests, Erica found that without these mutant fusion monsters, these mutant zombies would be a group of deaf people at best.

They are just blind beasts. Rather than attacking survivors, they prefer to enjoy the "delicious food" everywhere in peace.

Diana looked at the somewhat dishonest noble survivors nearby with a smile, then she casually picked up the Mk14 placed next to her and walked up to the city wall in front of her.

This Mk14, or M14 EBR, is Diana's current favorite weapon. Essentially, it is the U.S. Navy model Mark 14 Mod 0, but since Erica first came into contact with the U.S. Army model Mk14, she chose

She used two different names on her label. Of course, this didn't matter to Diana, but it was a matter of personal preference, so she still planned to use the correct title.

After various gun battles some time ago, Diana finally decided to find the most convenient weapon from Erica's arsenal to deal with some special battles in the future. Just like the current example, facing this

For a mutated undead monster, long-range weapons are always safer and more effective than swords and other weapons, of course, if magic is not counted. As for the magic issue, Diana's recent state is not very good, it seems that due to

She has just been resurrected and is still not used to it, so she is not going to use magic to solve the problem if it is not necessary in the near future. Diana chose Mk14 after many tests and shooting experiences the night before departure.

conclusion, but among the many alternative results, she unexpectedly chose this enhanced combat rifle that uses 7.62×51mm NATO bullets.

Different from the single performance of weapons such as submachine guns or sniper rifles used before, this Mk14 unexpectedly satisfied most of Diana's personal combat habits. In the past, whether it was ultra-long-range sniping or close-range precision shooting, it also

Or CQB, these novel fighting methods cannot be quickly mastered by Diana, but she is not completely ignorant. At least from Erica's point of view, Diana is very good at these fighting methods due to the characteristics of her race. The only thing

The difference only depends on her mood that day, so Erica has never clearly classified Diana's tactical functions.

However, from Diana's personal perspective, she still prefers to act together with Erica. So looking at Erica who had to be forced to serve as both a machine gunner and an assaulter due to a lack of positions, Diana finally chose

As a precision shooter in the support position, at least functionally speaking, this is indeed a position that can take Erica into consideration.

After climbing onto the low city wall of the civilian area, Diana looked at Puffy who was waiting on top of a high-rise building in the business district ahead and opened the communication again.

"Puffy, please pay attention to the enemy movements in the northern area. I will be Erica's fire support." After saying that, Diane jumped up and jumped to the roof of a store outside the wall, and then came to the nearby area keenly.

Erica was locked on a high-rise building and was rushing towards this direction.

At the same time, Puffy, who was lying on the top of the building, also changed her perspective to look at the miserable aristocratic residential area. And just when she was about to browse the general situation of the nearby area, suddenly Ruby's voice came from the earphones.

Said: "Puffy, be careful...that dangerous thing is back again..."

Ruby used the ultra-shortwave radio station on the BMP3 infantry fighting vehicle parked in the safe area for communication, and this communication was also a public broadcast, so not only Puffy, but also all the members active in the city listened.

Come to what Ruby said.

"Ruby, what's going on?" Erica, who was running quickly with Morana in her arms, asked anxiously.

"I don't know... but Selenir and I both felt that the aura of that thing appeared in the north area again for some reason... and it's still moving here... But don't worry, Selenir and I

It will be taken care of, don’t worry.”

Ruby's childish voice sounded like she didn't care about this matter, but both Erica and Diana knew that Ruby's tone just now was indeed serious, and it seemed that she did intend to deal with the so-called danger personally.

The guy...

Erica and Diana both believe that Ruby will succeed, but this does not mean that they will safely entrust the danger to Ruby to deal with. Moreover, although Thrannier is a crystal dragon, so far everyone has

I only saw her eating and sleeping, and more importantly, she played with Ruby all day long. In short, she didn't show any signs of being good at fighting.

"Ruby? Ruby??" Erica's nervous shouting did not receive any response, so she angrily turned to Aurora and shouted: "Quick! Let's go back quickly!"

Erica and Aurora quickened their pace nervously because she heard the faint sound of the chariot door being opened through the earphones. In addition, Ruby did not reply, which obviously meant that they had left the safety of the chariot.

She reached the outside within a few seconds. So she decisively accelerated her pace again and rushed towards the civilian area. She didn't care whether the injured Morana in her arms was comfortable or not, or worried that her wounds might worsen due to the violent shaking.

etc.

Of course, Morana, who was jolting in Erica's arms, had naturally woken up a long time ago. At this moment, she was still pretending to be unconscious and eavesdropping on the communication between Erica and others, and was very surprised that they had this unheard-of "magic" communication device.

Morana is not an uninformed person, but in this world, people have cognitive issues with "common sense". Everyone, including Morana, who has seen Erica and her devices will naturally associate them with each other.

When it comes to the concept of magic, just like the survivors who are looking at the BMP3 infantry fighting vehicle parked there in the safe area, whether they are civilians or nobles, they naturally regard the fuel engine vehicle as a magic prop.

Diana, who was staying at the entrance of the safe zone at this time, also had the same worries as Erica, and after Ruby finished speaking, she turned to look at the safe zone behind her, and she clearly saw Ruby's clumsiness.

He opened the captain's hatch and pulled Selenir out of it. Then without closing the hatch, the two of them jumped out of the car hand in hand and swaggered around in front of many survivors.

out of the safe zone.

Diana originally planned to follow, but she suddenly thought of what Ruby had said to her before. After some consideration, she finally decided to take care of Ruby and the others. Diana quietly picked up the bag she had just set up.

Mk14 on a bipod, and then easily jumped down from the roof and landed in front of Ruby and the other two.

"I'll take you there..." Diana said with a smile.

Ruby nodded and didn't say anything, but Serenir behind her looked confused and didn't understand why Ruby brought her out. But even though she was a crystal dragon, as a living creature

But she did not lose her instinct. When Diana escorted the two of them out of the safe area, Thrannier, who had a dull look on his face, suddenly showed his fangs like a ferocious beast. At the same time, she was free

Scale-like textures also grew on his left hand, and the proportions of his palm also changed subtly.

The reason for Selenir's sudden change just now was that she saw a mutant zombie eating a corpse on the ground more than ten meters away from them, and the reason why she didn't rush forward immediately after discovering the enemy.

Probably because Ruby was holding her right hand.

This feeling was like a collar around the neck of a pet dog. Ruby seemed to have unknowingly "tamed" this newly born crystal dragon that was still full of wildness. For a moment, Diana felt two

The feelings between people are really too subtle.

Of course, Diana had no intention of letting Thranil get her... claws dirty, so she shot without hesitation after discovering the target. The bullet quickly penetrated the mutant zombie's neck, and then she saw

The zombie's head tilted and drooped, and then the mutant zombie fell to the ground and twitched.

The M59's warhead is indeed a bit insignificant for these robust mutant zombies. This is one of the reasons why Erica changed weapons midway due to insufficient damage during the previous clearing of the safe zone. PKP's 7.62×54mmR bullet is different from the AK-74M's

The gap in damage between 5.45×39mm bullets is still very obvious. Under the impact of saturated bullets, the damage effect of 7.62R bullets is obviously better, and it can also easily destroy the spine of mutant zombies to the point where they lose their ability to attack and move.

In addition, directly crushing the zombie's head and limb joints can also stagnate to a certain extent.

As for Diana, she actually doesn't like large-caliber weapons at all, especially bulky heavy machine guns. This is not because she is too thin to carry it, but is the result of pure personal preference.

.Because for her, she would never be willing to waste a second bullet for a follow-up kill if she could do it with one bullet, so precision shooting battle rifles became her first choice.

Diana led the two of them closer to the fallen zombie. Then she looked at the zombie that was still twitching with dissatisfaction and raised her right hand. Then a cluster of electric light jumped out from her fingertips, like lightning.

A spark generally formed in the air and finally penetrated into the body of the mutant zombie. After a violent muscle spasm, the zombie finally died completely, while Diana possessed and hugged Selani, who still maintained a fierce look.

Let him regain his composure.

"What are you planning to do by bringing her out?" Diana asked Ruby while holding Thranil.

"She needs to remember what an enemy is..." Ruby answered vaguely.

Diana didn't quite understand why Ruby said that, because in her opinion, there weren't many things that Ruby could call "enemies", but each of them referred to dangers that required vigilance and attention, and this

The most direct example is Herthogos, who is behind the scenes to cause trouble to the world.

Obviously the "enemy" Ruby just mentioned did not refer to Hertogos, but judging from the fact that she insisted on taking Selenir out, I'm afraid she should be referring to her or with her.

Enemies related to Thranil...

Diana vaguely thought of something, but she did not say it. Instead, she touched Ruby's cheek and continued to escort the two little guys towards the northern aristocratic residential area with a gun.

A few minutes later, Diana successfully led the two of them to a section of the collapsed wall of the noble district.

For some reason, there was a thick haze in the residential area behind the city wall. Even though the sun was shining brightly above her head, it still made Diana feel a little cold on her back, and Diana was also very alert to the strong feeling.

Malice and blood lurk in the fog.

Diana put away the loot and sent the two little ones inside. Then she stood outside the city wall and said to Ruby with a smile: "I'm waiting for you here. Go and come back quickly."

Ruby held Selenir's little hand and nodded to Diana, then the two of them quickly rushed into the mist and quickly disappeared.

Diana looked at the surrounding buildings and then jumped up to the eaves. Then she quickly climbed to the third-story roof and re-set up her weapons and started to be on standby. Just when she was ready to open the communication contact with Ai

While walking towards Rika, an earth-shattering roar suddenly came from the fog in the noble area.

This roar was so loud that even Earl Ronan, who was far away in Jinghua Castle, was alarmed and ran outside to watch. But unfortunately, the fog in the noble area is getting bigger and thicker. Except for those who can barely

There was almost no useful information except for the huge figure looming in the fog. But it was different for Erica and others. Erica had heard this kind of roaring sound before, although she was more immature than the last time.

Some, but there is no doubt that this is a real roar of a dragon.

"Diana?" Erica, who had just felt the door to the safe zone, asked anxiously into the headset: "Diana, what happened with the dragon roar just now? Is there a giant dragon coming?"
