"What"s your name?" Avenot looked at nothing. His voice was calm, but there was no room for doubt.
He told her his name. "Alright, I"ll remember you."
In Avenot"s list, of course, there was a zero. But the name was only a mark, and Avenot did not know every member of the Doomhammer. But now it was different, he did remember zero. Because Zero was right, the lean living corpses were like moving biological bombs. After sending the materials back to Asgard, the answer given by Lafite, the most senior biology doctor in the Heroic Spirit Hall, was basically the same as zero.
The difference is that zero"s guess is based on intuition, while Professor Rafiel is looking at data.
Avenot"s words immediately made Zero feel nervous. Dozens of gazes immediately fell on him. There was praise, anger, and most of the others were envious. In the end, whether it was Asgard or the entire world, it didn"t matter. There was a compet.i.tive relations.h.i.+p between humans and beasts. From individual to individual, to the entire world, the compet.i.tion of the new era was everywhere.
As the most elite of the five legions, the relations.h.i.+p between Doomhammer and his men was very intense. As a result, eight out of ten of the gazes that Zero received were filled with hostility.
If a soldier performed well in the war, the chances of promotion were very high. How to let the officer know that he was doing well was a very technical question, and it was certainly the best way to get Aveno to call him by name. Although Hookchev should have impressed the commander as well, a dead man was nothing to mention.
However, with his indifferent personality, he ignored the stares of the crowd.
On the podium, Avenk continued, "As Zero said, this new type of corpse is like a biological bomb. Their attacks were simple but crude. Their explosion was equivalent to the might of a high-energy grenade. Gentlemen, a high-energy grenade can release an energy shock of 3000 joules. Unless the defense is at least at the seventh step, otherwise, if the heart explodes, anyone will be smashed into pieces. And the terrifying thing about these new type of corpses is that once you get caught by them, congratulations, you"re already at the center of the explosion. "
Avignon"s words made everyone"s hearts sink. It could be said that even if a member of the Hammer of Destruction faced a high-energy grenade, as long as his heart did not explode, he could use all sorts of methods to protect himself. However, if he was. .h.i.t directly in the heart, the result would be the same as Wukchev, becoming a pile of minced meat.
"This new type of living corpse is very dangerous, they are almost a one-time war weapon. However, with them, the living corpses would be able to make some breakthroughs. Looking at them, I"m almost sure they"re for people like us. " Avenot"s face was grim as well. No matter how one looked at it, a high-mobility biological bomb would never be pleasant.
"If this was in the old era, it would probably have taken tens of thousands of years or even longer to evolve. However, in this d.a.m.ned era, I wouldn"t be surprised if a monster that looks like a floating fortress appeared. But from the looks of this attack, they are not the same as before, where they instinctively attacked the humans. As you can see, they did not just attack the humans, these filthy things even transformed the corpses of the citizens of Lemour, making it so that the poor people would not be able to rest in peace. This is simply unforgivable! " Avenot paused to calm his agitated emotions before continuing, "The generals of Asgard and I agree that there must be a wisdom behind all of this."
"Is it the monarch?" an officer of the mixed unit asked, raising his hand.
"I"m afraid it"s not that simple." Avenot frowned and said, "As we all know, from time to time, special existences such as the butcher, that can command living corpses, will be born in the group of living corpses. We call it a monarch, but a monarch does not possess high intelligence. It was like a king among a group of wild beasts, only naturally able to control and direct other similar operations. Of course, we cannot deny that the monarch has a certain intelligence, but I would like to emphasize that intelligence is not the same as intelligence. Mutant beasts also have a certain level of intelligence, but you wouldn"t say they have that, would you? "
"In other words, what we are facing is not the corpses outside, but something else." The one who spoke was a member of the Hammer of Destruction. He suddenly thought of something and gasped, "Heavens, could it be a new alien race?"
"Yes, Professor Rafiel said the same thing." Avenot said in a deep voice, "In the western part of Asgard, I don"t need to go into detail about the number of strange and intelligent races that have been born in the land behind the tundra. Professor Rafiel meant that this evolution should have extended from the depths of the mainland to the vicinity of the coastline. We don"t know where this evolution came from, but it did. And now is not the time to dwell on how it happened. What we have to do is to find the wisdom in the living corpse. Bring it back, or. Destroy it! "
There were so many mutated creatures in the world, but speaking of the number of living corpses, even if this huge race wasn"t number one, it was more than enough to make it into the top ten. If intelligent life was born from a large number of similar species, it would definitely be a disaster for humans. In the face of such a huge race, there was no possibility for humans to coexist with them.
Therefore, when intelligent life appeared in the living corpse with a high probability, Asgard Headquarters" conclusion was that it was more likely to be destroyed. Using the most berserk methods to kill off this kind of intelligent life form was the safest method. Bringing back the specimen was only a method allowed under the circ.u.mstances.
Next, Avenot brought up the map. This map encompa.s.ses all corners of the city, including the old era"s metropolis, Kadam. On the map, red lines marked the route of the living corpses. The end of the line pointed directly at Remus, but the source of the line was lost in the ruins to the southwest of Remus.
Pointing at the route map, Avenot said, "Gentlemen, I need some of you to figure out where the living corpses came from and where the intelligent beings are located. When necessary, you don"t need to report and directly kill the intelligent lifeforms. We must swiftly resolve this crisis in a thunderous manner. Listen, this isn"t just a crisis for Remus. It"s very likely to be a crisis for all mankind. Therefore, this operation, I shall pa.s.s on to you the code name of "Thunder". "
Following which, Avignon selected the captains of several squads. They were the suggestive Agatha, Zero, and the other capable Berrion. Beryl was an Elementalist, and her profession was the "Thunder Hand". She was a person with a tendency to attack and destroy.
It was not an exaggeration to say that a Berrion was equivalent to a moving fortress.
The combination of these three teams could be said to be a small war group. He had Agatha"s ability to explore, a long-range sniper that was zero, and a firepower user like Beryl. It could be said that this was a golden combination.
In addition to the support provided by the other members of his team, these three teams were the most suitable candidates for this "Thunderclap" mission.
The team that was called out could leave the meeting room first and they would have half an hour to repair themselves and inspect their equipment. The mission will begin in half an hour. Avenot would have the ground troops divert the attention of the living corpses, allowing them to slip away quietly. In order not to attract the attention of the living corpses, the SUV was no longer usable, so they had to use their own feet to travel a long distance.
With regards to this, the members of the three squads naturally had no objections. After they left, the meeting continued. But the next item on the agenda was how to stall the zombies to the greatest extent before the crisis broke out. Of course, pa.s.sively defending was not advisable, but the restriction of military strength did not meet the condition of forceful attack. In the end, the only thing that was left to decide was guerrilla warfare.
The details of the entire strategy were decided upon during Avenot"s discussions with the various officers. At the same time, Zero and the others were checking the equipment on their SUVs. In addition to their equipment, they also needed to bring food and water. However, the s.p.a.ce for carrying equipment was limited, and ammunition took up most of the s.p.a.ce, so there wasn"t much s.p.a.ce left for food.
In addition to the nutrients, they also prepared a water coagulant in the carrying device. Condensate is a kind of concentrated gel for clean water, a drop of which contains the amount of water a normal person needs in a day. Apart from the taste, there were all sorts of minerals in the water. However, this newly developed water had a certain amount of poison. Ordinary people would die if they took two drops of it, but for Adepts it wasn"t enough to kill them. As a result, water coagulants could only be used in the army, and even so, a single water coagulant was still very expensive. If they did not carry out this special task, they would not have been able to obtain this latest technology.
However, the supply of nutrients was not limited, and since Su and Feng, the two cold weapon users, didn"t need to store much ammunition in their equipment, the s.p.a.ce they left was filled with nutrients. Who knew how many days this mission would take? It was always good to be prepared.
Looking at his travel equipment filled with goods, Zero suddenly felt a sense of happiness. He recalled the two years when he had just woken up. In the Z7 base, where supplies were extremely scarce, even eating a piece of fresh bread was an extremely luxurious thing. But now, not only were there sufficient ammunition and ingredients, there was also nutrients which were not tasty but could at least fill his stomach.
Hmm, it"s just that the water resources are a bit scarce. However, compared to the past, this place was now like heaven. If there was a heaven in the world.
Zero was carefully inspecting Giant"s Type 1 sniper rifle. This new type of gun lacked the smell of old firearms because it was powered by high-volume batteries. But when it came to the wild, it was better than nothing. The cold and straight metal body of the spear, and the extremely rough muzzle. Even if he were to look at it this way, it would make his blood boil. Holding onto the giant, he seemed to hear the roar of the gun.
It thirsted for blood! Yearning to kill!
"h.e.l.lo!"
A crisp shout interrupted Zero and Giant"s communication. He looked at the voice that seemed to resonate between a person and a gun with slight annoyance. Master"s eyes were immediately filled with a dazzling golden color.
The warm suns.h.i.+ne of her blond hair was simply tied into a ponytail, yet it did not harm her master"s beauty. Instead, it added a hint of valiance to her charm. Agatha appeared beside the SUV, silhouetted against her black uniform. Behind her were two men.
Maple whistled in the car when he saw Agatha. But this whistle was very short, because when Su stepped on Feng"s foot, the frivolous whistle immediately turned into a scream.
"Please forgive my companion for his rudeness, but I can a.s.sure you he meant no harm."
The two men behind Agatha had ugly looks on their faces. They stared at Feng with eyes that seemed to wish they could skin Feng Sheng alive and swallow him alive. He knew that these two were not simply Agatha"s team members, but also possibly pursuers.
However, with Agatha"s special ability, there were still men who dared to pursue her, which made Zero admire their courage.
"It doesn"t matter." Agatha said generously, "I have come to greet Captain Zero, and hope that we will be able to work closely together in the coming operation. After all, this mission is very important, and I think Captain Zero does not want anything to go wrong. "
"Of course, Captain Agatha"s ability will definitely be of great help to us." He extended his hand to Agatha.
Agatha started. Zero was not the first man to shake hands with her, but he was definitely the one who had offered her his hand the first time they met. When she heard her companion"s dry cough behind her, Agatha immediately realized that she had lost her composure and quickly reached out her hand to grab Zero"s.
Despite the glove, Zero could feel the softness of Agatha"s palm. With this simple contact, Zero"s brain automatically a.n.a.lyzed the muscle strength, grip strength and other basic data of Agatha"s palm. While all kinds of data were flas.h.i.+ng through his mind, Zero had already let go of Agatha"s hand. Most of this data was automatically ignored by Zero. If he needed it, when Zero focused his attention on someone, the target data stored in his mind would automatically appear.
Ever since the a.s.sessment of the Cossacks" base, Zero could feel that the calculation abilities of his brain were getting stronger and stronger. Now that he thought about it, it seemed to have something to do with Anthony"s spiritual attack. Anthony"s spiritual attack did not successfully wipe out his Will. Instead, it stimulated some of his potential.
Next, Agatha introduced her two companions to Zero. To Zero"s surprise, these two people were regular soldiers of Doomhammer. They were willing to be Agatha"s teammates, and as Zero had guessed, their relations.h.i.+p with Agatha was completely different from that of Zero and Sue.
Of the two men, Johnny, who was nearly two meters tall, was an expert in combat. He was a fighting master that was relatively rare. Fighting masters focused on the limits of the body, a very rare occupation where the body was used as a weapon. They used their bodies as s.h.i.+elds and their fists and feet as blades. They were good at close quarters combat. However, not many people were willing to be promoted to this profession, or in other words, did not dare to. After all, the other cla.s.ses all had their own weapons.
As for the other elegant looking man, Yona, he was a swordsman as well as Feng. The only difference was that he did not use Tang Dao. The sword"s hilt was carved with beautiful patterns, making it look more ornamental than aggressive, but it was a perfect match for Jonah"s temperament.
After Agatha finished her introduction, a sneer sounded in everyone"s ears.
The owner of the sneer was a tall, handsome man with silver hair and a pair of eyes as blue as the sea beneath his bangs. If one looked closely at those eyes, one would be able to see countless electric snakes dancing about.
Berrien, a thunder-attribute user, possessed extraordinary destructive power. Lightning and Fire were both Elemental Domains with the ability to destroy obvious branches. It was a pretty good name for moving cannons.
"Captain Beryl, you came as well." Agatha said politely.
Unexpectedly, Berrion paid no attention to him, and said with incomparable arrogance, "Tight integration is only the action of the weak. Listen, I don"t like working with Cursed Woman and the gunman at all, but under the orders from my superiors, I can only work with you for the time being. You don"t have to do anything. Just remember not to drag me down. "
He had seen many arrogant people, and Saurun was one of them. But even Sauron was not as arrogant as Beryl. In the man"s eyes, he and Agatha had already been reduced to decoration. He smiled, too lazy to talk to this kind of person. Agatha was also very well-bred. She smiled without saying a word, but it was obvious that the two men behind her were not as good-natured.
They were about to stand up and argue with Beryl when Agatha gently raised her hand to stop them. Beryl sneered at the two of them. "What can a bear and a monkey do? Fortunately, you have a good master. Otherwise, I"ll probably have to change your hairstyles for both of you. "
With that, Beryl snorted and walked away.
Zero said faintly, "I really don"t understand. How did he survive until now?"
With that sentence, Agatha burst out in laughter. Then she said seriously, "Those who are used to looking up at the sky have no way of knowing the vastness and greatness of the earth. And because I see them too highly, I won"t be able to see anyone else. In the end, I probably won"t be able to see myself either. "
"I didn"t expect Captain Agatha to be a philosopher."
"No, I was just casually saying it." Agatha said sincerely, "In short, I hope we both have a pleasant experience with each other."
Zero nodded. At the same time, all the members on Thunderclap received a message from Avenot: Thunderclap begins in ten minutes. All relevant personnel gather at the exit of the base immediately!
