Chapter 60 - Biochemical Crisis

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Soren's current mood was indeed very bad. The reason for his bad mood was because he encountered a battle on the road that was instigated by a non-human being.

After knowing that Zero had brought Lea to Remot, he gathered his team and left Z7 base. If all went well, Soren could very well come to this gathering area on the second day after he had arrived at Remot. If things go on like this, Zero could forget about taking any risks in the ruins of University City Lampez and wouldn't know Su and Ben. He and Lea would be detained by Soren and brought back to the Dark Council's base camp.

But life doesn't have the word 'if'.

The reason why Soren was "late" was because they had met the group of living corpse on the way there.

It was not by chance that Su Yun and Teddy saw the living corpse migrating when they were camping at the outskirts of the Silver Tree City. The Silver Tree City's group and other similar beings that had migrated from other places were quietly gathering at a City Ruins on their way to the Remot. In order to catch up with them, Soren travelled day and night. At night, the living corpse wandering by the side of the road smelled the fresh flesh on the members of Soren's team, and as a result, they encountered their first battle.

Of course, the living corpse who didn't even have a hundred rankings was no match for Soren's group. Not long after the battle began, it ended. Soren did not mind and ordered the group to continue forward. He did not expect that not too far away, in the ruins, there would be even more living corpse that heard the gunshots and were attracted over. Thus, when they met again, Soren faced hundreds and thousands of living corpse.

Just like this, it wouldn't delay Soren for too long. However, the group of living corpse invaders actually had high ranking living corpse s like the butcher and lacerator, and there were quite a few of them as well. It had to be known that whether it was the butcher or the lacerator, every group of living corpse would naturally not produce that many high grade goods. And that night, amongst the group of living corpse that invaded, there were more than twenty butcher and lacerator altogether.

Compared to the butcher who was like a human-like tank, the lacerator s were short and short. Their appearance was no different from a normal living corpse, but their bones had undergone a high degree of mutation. The bones of every part of the lacerator's body could be transformed according to needs to form a sharp bone blade that could easily tear apart an armoured chariot, and their agility and speed were far beyond that of a butcher's.

Under certain circumstances, lacerator would be much more dangerous than a butcher. Take the second fight with the living corpse for example, the lacerator that was mixed in with the rest of their kind only launched a surprise attack when it was close to Soren's group. They, who treated their comrades as cannon fodder, gave Soren's side a lot of pressure.

In the end, it was only Soren who went in personally, and only then did he temporarily force the group of living corpse to retreat. But very quickly, news came from the scouts. Another group of living corpse had already gathered and were heading towards the main road. After knowing that his own troops were not strong enough to destroy more living corpse, Soren could only unwillingly give the order to avoid, and the team continued to retreat into the Silver Tree City. Using the cover of the city's buildings, Soren's team fought a tug of war with the living corpse for three days.

No one could do anything until the living corpse began to evacuate. With half of the troop's troops gone, Soren did not dare to underestimate them and travelled through the night. They started to go out into the night, and during this time, Soren sent out. Soren's original intention was for Kabu to figure out the distribution of the living corpse, so that he wouldn't have to fight with the living corpse for no reason like last time.

But unexpectedly, when Kabu went over, he discovered something strange.

Tracing Specialist followed the traces left behind by the living corpse to the ruins they were living in. He realized that there was an area in the ruins that was protected by layers of high level monsters like the butcher and lacerator. Kabu thought it was strange. He used a nearby tall building to do a long-distance reconnaissance, and the scene that he saw through the multiplier telescope was projected onto Soren's tactical plate through the Dark Council's network.

Thus, Soren saw an unforgettable scene in his life.

Countless living corpse were biting and devouring each other in one building. Broken limbs, internal organs, intestines, and brain matter sprayed all over the floor. The bloody scene was enough to make any crazy person unable to eat for three days. Soren's mental state could not be considered slender, but it was not to the extent of being thick enough to look at these scenes and turn a blind eye to them.

Soren reported the strange phenomenon from the living corpse to the headquarters, but this was not his main task. After this small incident, Soren led the group and continued their journey, while the returning Tracing Specialist directly rested for two days before appearing once again.

Not long after, Soren received the order to never mention it again. Soren knew clearly that if such a huge number of living corpse were to fall into trouble, all the bases or companies within 3000 kilometers of the border region would be destroyed. The masters of the Dark Council did not plan to remind the companies nearby, so Soren would naturally not worry about them. From his point of view, this place was like a backwater, even if everyone died, it did not concern him, even if his family owned a small mining base in the area.

Therefore, in front of the second in command of the Remot, Theon had never mentioned that a biochemical storm was brewing a thousand kilometers behind the Remot.

Right now, what Soren was more concerned about was still the movements of Su Yun and Lea.

Looking at the picture on the tactical plate, Theon revealed a kind smile: "So you were looking for them, then you asked the right person."

This was the best news that Soren had heard in the past week. The young man's face revealed a rare smile.

The city that Ron's company was in was called Angry Reef City, and it was a city that towered above the ocean. Because of geology, the Angry Reef City was unable to build underground bases like the Remot. Ron could only set up all sorts of radiation purifying device in this city to reduce the exposure of the city's residents to the surface radiation.

Fifty years after the Cataclysm, even the average person's resistance to radiation has increased many times. As a result, although they lived on the surface, they could barely survive by relying on purifying device. However, the average life expectancy of the surface dwellers would be one third less than that of the base dwellers. They would also be infected with all sorts of strange diseases.

However, in this turbulent era, having a roof over one watt is already considered heaven, so the citizens of Angry Reef City did not have too many complaints.

Su He and Lea arrived at the city that was presided over by Ron Corporation at noon yesterday. This place was unlike the Remot, where there was no strict access system. Ron's company had a loose system. Other than the guards at the company's headquarters, only the Magistrate was in charge of maintaining order in the city.

Of course, you don't need to count on a few Magistrate s to be of any help. Generally speaking, these Han security officials are just passing by. Therefore, the Angry Reef City could be said to be a free city, or it could be said to be a chaotic city.

Zero left Lea in a hotel opened by the officials of Ron. The fee paid here was 30% higher than that of a normal hotel, but no one dared to cause trouble inside the hotel. It was safer for Lea to stay here than in a privately owned hotel with a mix of dragon and snake. As for Zero, he would register at the main hall of the Angry Reef City, only by temporarily registering in the main hall of each city would mercenaries or hunters be able to obtain information and missions from the main hall.

After completing the registration formalities, Zero Request met with the Trade Union Chairman. He hoped to use this opportunity to get close to Ron's higher ups in order to obtain information on the company or organization that might be able to heal Lea. But this appointment, to this day, still has no news. Zero had to put it aside for the time being, and information had another source besides official sources.

The place where that kind of channel was located was undoubtedly a tavern. Thus, at nine o'clock in the evening, Zero appeared in front of the only pub in Angry Reef City.
