Chapter 603 Corpses Like Tides (8000)

Huh! Huh! Huh!

The huge machine was running continuously, punching out slightly rough steel parts.

While the parts were not completely cooled, they continued to be processed and polished by taking advantage of their plasticity at high temperatures.

343 didn't care about the parts, as long as she ensured the status of the production equipment.

She looked helpless, turned her head and said to Matthew:

"Only 1/3 of the spellcasters and apprentices sent to the Bay to study are willing to return."

"After returning, these people want to ask for higher treatment..."

Matthew shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, looked at the surging magic channels around him, and asked with a smile:

"So are they worth it?"

343, who believed in the calculation results, nodded without hesitation, with a puzzled expression on his face, but said very clearly:

"Although their remuneration level has reached more than 4 times the previous level, the efficiency improvement they have driven has exceeded 8 times, and their competitiveness has also greatly improved compared to before."

"From the results, , is very cost-effective..."

Matthew naturally heard 343's doubts, but he did not think that this special tower spirit had the idea of ​​"exploiter". He just smiled and explained to her:

"More work, more pay, this is the simplest reward."

"The factory regards the workers as one, and both sides share the benefits and development, so that they can make faster progress."

Thinking of the various systems of the Gulf Territory Factory, 343 subconsciously raised his eyebrows and made a decisive decision at the moment:

"I will make some attempts first, and if possible, I will increase the promotion..."

Matthew looked forward to this, hoping that Blood Moon City could change and become stronger, helping the Gulf Territory to share some of the pressure of development.

Matthew expressed his strong welcome to this city lord who only needed gold coins and resources.

Anyway, the current investment will get a big wave of gains in the future.

343 took the development information and plans handed over by Matthew and incorporated them into his calculations at a very fast speed.

She always has her own ideas and some particularly novel judgments, which can always bring some inspiration to Matthew.

Otherwise, Matthew would not have come to meet her.

Of course, the most important thing at the moment is to get some information about underground ruins from 343.

If it were in the past, this information would be extremely important to Blood Moon City.

Because Blood Moon City relies on excavating ruins to make a living, this is their lifeblood!

But for the current Blood Moon City, the income from ruins is more inclined to be stable and long-term.

The overall proportion has dropped from the original 50%-60% to only 25%.

The income from ruins has not dropped too much, but the total income of Blood Moon City has increased greatly.

For Matthew's desire to explore or develop a certain ruin, 343 is absolutely welcome.

The Gulf Territory will never eat alone, and any force that cooperates with them can get a considerable share of the benefits.

Just like the "technical exchange" between the Gulf Territory and Blood Moon City before.

The Gulf Territory obtained the manufacturing process and technology of the teleportation array, which led to the birth of the Gulf Territory's teleportation combat system.

Blood Moon City has perfected the technical integration of golems and war puppets, and combined them into a whole.

Not only can it produce more distinctive and powerful constructs, but it has also taken over nearly 1/4 of the golem production orders from the Gulf Territory.

Both parties got what they wanted and cooperated quite happily.

343 has many technologies invented or stored by the city lord, and there are also many special technologies and devices discovered in the ruins.

If the Gulf Territory digs up good things, they can also be traded.

This is also the reason why Matthew is willing to cooperate with 343.

Matthew looked through many familiar and unfamiliar ruins materials, with a little emotion in his eyes.

A considerable part of them were personally experienced and excavated by him.

There are also many ruins that he has only heard of but never seen, which are recorded here.

Matthew browsed through them and soon saw the target he wanted.

Several goblin ruins and ruins.

Matthew looked through the various items found in the ruins, including many parts of advanced war puppets and golems.

Although most of the parts were damaged due to the passage of time, they could still provide Matthew with a lot of information.

Oriana, who was watching the parts nearby, discussed with Yaya curiously.

Yaya restored the appearance of these parts by means of time travel.

Although these parts are very fragile, they can provide a lot of information.

According to the appearance of the material, the location of these parts can be inferred and the manufacturing structure can be understood.

The structural design can bring some inspiration.

But its biggest role is to provide the Gulf Territory with a part of the new metal formula.

The major manufacturing research institutes in the Gulf Territory have realized it.

The upper limit of the design of weapons and equipment lies in the enchantment level they can carry and the strength of the materials.

Golems and war puppets are combat units that use materials as their body carriers, so they rely more on the strength of the materials.

By inspecting these materials and analyzing some metal formulas, you can easily earn the first income.

Of course, these profits belong to the small treasury of Yaya and Orianna. They can share good profits by using the formulas and materials.

The important point is that by analyzing the strength and corrosion time of these materials.

Matthew can accurately locate the existence time of the ruins that produced these parts, and can match them with the target.

It didn't take long for Matthew to determine the target, find the location of the ruins, and prepare to start forming a team.

The army of the Gulf Territory is busy, and adventurers must also speed up their own improvement.

Both are in a critical period of improving their strength and laying the foundation for Matthew's subsequent transformation surgery, so they will naturally not waste their time.

So, Matthew decided to do it himself.

A more important reason is that Matthew and the Gulf Territory are temporarily out of money and can't afford to use the army's rewards.

After two months of delay, the Bay Territory can make great efforts again with the accumulated funds and resources.

After learning about Matthew's intention, 343 was very happy to help, and soon issued a mission announcement in the Adventurer Hall of Blood Moon City.

"Major ruins exploration mission, mission difficulty: advanced."

"Mission goal: dig and explore the 4th floor of the dungeon, the Lost Tower area."

"Mission content: excavation, patrol, protection, combat, reconnaissance, logistics."

"Mission rewards: according to combat performance, invest in materials, complete temporary tasks, obtain fixed positions, and obtain corresponding merits."

"Work normally every day, you can get 8 points of merit, and when you reach 200 points, you can exchange for advanced magic equipment and props."

"The current number of advanced magic equipment and props is: 300 0 pieces!"

"Registration conditions:

Individual, high-level professional, purchase 5 Bay Leader Adventurer Sets, Blood Moon City High-level Adventurer Certification.

Team, high-level adventurer team, purchase 10 Bay Leader Team Adventure Packages, 2 combat golems, 4 engineering golems.

Note: You can pay half of the deposit to purchase materials in advance. After the mission is completed, you can get a half-price refund or buy it in full. "

When hearing this news, most of the adventurers in the Adventurer Hall couldn't help but widen their eyes.

They never thought that Blood Moon City, which had not issued an official excavation mission for a long time, would be so powerful this time.

3,000 high-level magic equipment and props, worth at least more than 10 million gold coins!

This is a big deal!

When the excited adventurers saw the registration requirements, they were immediately dumbfounded.

The strength of high-level professionals stumped more than 90% of the adventurers.

On the contrary, most of the adventurers who have been staying in Blood Moon City to excavate the ruins can meet the conditions of the last two tasks.

On the contrary, the high requirements for the adventurer team make some commanders of the adventurer team feel embarrassed.

The adventurer package of the Bay Leader Team is not expensive, 1,000 gold coins per set.

It is enough to meet the combat and adventure needs of 200 adventurers for about a week, which can be said to be very affordable.

Most adventurer teams will purchase several sets and store them when they carry out tasks in case of emergency.

The last two things are a bit troublesome.

Unless there are long-term cooperative spellcasters in the adventure group, constructs will not be configured in most cases.

Moreover, this kind of thing is a strategic material and there is almost no channel for selling it to the outside.

"What a coincidence, everyone is blessed today!"

"That's right, everyone come and take a look, take a look."

Da Zhuang and Dapang, who sang in unison, quickly attracted the attention of the adventurers with the skills they have trained during this period.

Da Zhuang held several high-level magic swords in his hands, showing everyone their sharpness and effects.

The beautiful dragon-shaped pattern on the hilt is the production mark of the Bay Territory.

The bright and beautiful spell pattern made many adventurers' eyes shine.

The magic image behind him represented the authenticity of the number of these magic weapons.

The adventurers who were eligible to register were immediately tempted.

"Isn't it just excavating ruins? Which adventurer in Blood Moon City doesn't know how to do it?"

"For such good magic weapons and equipment, we have to fight!"

Da Pang, who had a heavier task, showed a bright smile on his chubby face and said to the high-level adventurers who were tempted:

"Don't be afraid to tell everyone that this is a ruin excavated by the Lord of the City and the Bay Territory."

"It is commanded by professionals sent by the Bay Territory, so we can offer such a high task reward to everyone."

"As for materials, if you are under financial pressure, you can pay half of the deposit first. After completing the task and making money, this little money will be easy."

"If your merits are not enough to exchange for magic weapons and equipment, Blood Moon City will recycle all magic equipment."

"At that time, according to the number of your merits, you can get the corresponding gold coins or materials."

"As for the golems, everyone in the adventure group doesn't have to worry."

"We will sell a batch of constructs for you to better explore the ruins..."

"You can start signing up, come and register."

Da Zhuang, who had just shown everyone magic weapons and equipment, immediately began to arrange for the constructs to go on stage.

The burly and huge steel golems caused quite a stir with every move.

Seeing that the city lord was really serious, more and more adventurers gathered in the hall.

Many adventurers and adventurer teams who learned of the news also left the ruins and rushed back.

The big move of Blood Moon City and Bay Territory, and the temptation of 3,000 high-level magic weapons and equipment, are enough for adventurers to take seriously.

The high-level adventurers did not hesitate too much, chose to trust Blood Moon City and Bay Territory, and rushed to sign up.

In just a short while, more than 300 high-level adventurers signed up.

These high-level adventurers who are well-known and enviable on weekdays, gathered so many at once, naturally people are very excited.

Everyone likes to watch the excitement, and they like to get some "benefits" from watching the excitement.

For ordinary adventurers, Bay Territory and Blood Moon City are both great forces.

The two sides jointly developed it, it must not be a small ruins!

If you can understand the type of ruins and prepare in advance, you will definitely make more money after the ruins are opened.

Anyway, the income of other ruins is average now, so it is better to adjust the state and wait for the feast.

The two major forces eat meat, the high-level adventurers drink soup, and they can also eat a full meal by picking up some leftovers.

Compared with their liveliness, the high-level adventurer team is calmer.

The reason is very simple. Except for a few high-level adventurer teams that are organized and controlled by adventurers themselves, there are people behind the others.

The benefits do make them tempted, but those who really make the decision often have more considerations.

Consider the real purpose of the Bay Territory and Blood Moon City.

Have they really discovered any valuable relics?

Or do they want to use this to cover up other plans?

343 seemed a little anxious about their hesitation.

"Everything has been prepared for you, why are you still hesitant and unwilling to come?"

She has prepared a large number of golems, just waiting for the adventurer team to pay.

Matthew, who noticed her expression, was not in a hurry, and did not deliberately look at the attributes and status information of this special tower spirit.

Instead, while browsing various parts and looking through the high-level adventurers who have signed up, he comforted her and said:

"Don't worry, just move forward steadily, those guys will be hooked sooner or later."

Tens of millions of gold coins plus the gains from the relics are definitely an extremely tempting cake.

For those greedy guys, this is a temptation they cannot refuse.

After all, Matthew didn't want them, but the adventurer team under them.

October 3.

Blood Moon City.

Entrance to the underground ruins.

Many curious adventurers and residents of Blood Moon City looked at the huge engineering golems that were marching in neat rows with shining eyes.

A large chassis with four tracks, a giant mechanical arm seven or eight meters long, and a slightly shiny silver-white metal shell.

It can be regarded as a steel creation that most adventurers and residents of Blood Moon City have never seen before.

What is more surprising than these golems are the warriors and staff of various races in the Bay Leader's team.

The little goblins, with their heads held high and their bright eyes, have completely lost their previous cowardice and treacherousness.

They drove humanoid constructs about two meters in size, lined up in the same neat queue, and passed by the adventurers and residents of Blood Moon City who were full of amazement.

The goblins were not complacent, but instead looked straight ahead and skillfully manipulated the exoskeleton construct.

This is the first generation product produced by the Clockwork Spirit Research Institute founded by Yaya and Orianna - exoskeleton armor.

It is divided into two types: civilian and military.

The former is durable, strong and light.

It is very suitable for carrying and physical labor, and can help goblins and other staff who lack strength to provide necessary strength enhancement.

The latter is flexible and strong, and assists in combat.

It can provide powerful combat assistance enhancement for small combat personnel.

Although it is a bit clumsy, it can perform well in the array combat test.

Now, these products that are still in the trial stage need to be put into practice in work and combat.

Following behind the goblin exoskeleton troops was a large group of sturdy and tough ogres.

They were not like other ogres, with round eyes, smelly bodies, fierce faces, and fat bellies.

Instead, each of them was sturdy, covered with solid muscles, and the slightly rounded fat layer looked more like a layer of bronze armor.

And unlike other ogres, they were dressed in tattered clothes, looked sloppy, and had simple weapons.

Every ogre warrior in front of them wore shiny bright-colored armor, carried a war hammer, tied two small axes on their waists, and fiddled with two round metal balls in their hands.

This fully armed and tough appearance made every adventurer feel scalp numb.

The lone savage ogre was scary enough, and these obviously well-trained professional men in front of them were like walking muscle monsters.

Behind the ogre team, a large group of dog-headed men in gray-black miners' long clothes looked around.

They didn't shout, but followed the team in small steps, and kept repeating in their hearts:

"Work hard to get good food!"

On both sides of these dog-headed men, one or two thousand tall gnolls were keenly scanning the surroundings.

They had fierce eyes, all wearing dark red armor, exuding a fierce aura, with less hair than ordinary gnolls, and subtle scale patterns could be vaguely seen.

They escorted a number of golem trucks to prevent anyone from approaching easily.

On the top of the truck, a number of ferocious crossbows made many people nervous.

A dozen agile figures in cloaks squatted quietly on the top of the truck. They seemed to be doing nothing, but they were secretly paying attention to any direction that could launch an attack.

Many people who secretly observed felt a slight tingling pain, and were shocked, and quickly retracted their gazes.

The gray elf transformed warriors withdrew their gazes and silently recorded these hostile gazes.

Soon, there will be extraordinary-level stalkers who will secretly go to their location.

They will not take action, but will only record everything they see and hear.

If the other party attacks desperately, they will definitely die first.

Behind them, dozens of burly Dragoon No. 1 golems show their handsome and gorgeous shapes in front of everyone, as well as the powerful sense of oppression from their size to their momentum.

"Is this the army of the Gulf Lord? Why are there so few humans?"

"They don't have soldier emblems on them, so they are not the army of the Gulf Lord. They may just be a team of adventurers..."

"Are you kidding? Is there such a strong team of adventurers?"

"What methods did the Gulf Lord use to subdue these non-human guys?"

"Subjugation and control are not the key. Changing their nature and making them what they are now is the most powerful..."

"The ones following at the end are the high-level adventurers who signed up. I didn't expect them to set off now..."

"The Gulf Lord never procrastinates. I guess they will start digging soon."

"Everyone should prepare early. There will be meat to eat if you follow the big army..."

"..."

The news that the Gulf Lord's troops came down to dig the ruins quickly spread throughout the underground ruins.

The cultists lurking deep in the underground ruins had already received this news.

Without looking at the hellish scene behind him, Lark turned his head and said to Bloodhand Kahn:

"Let them do it, we must delay it for a longer time."

"Don't give me any excuses, otherwise I don't mind making them sacrifices."

A flash of red light flashed in Lark's eyes, and his ferocious expression slowly relaxed. He took a long breath and walked towards the dark depths of the ruins in the distance without looking back.

Hundreds of figures wearing gray and black cloaks, manipulating various monsters, spread in all directions along the dark and deep ruins passage.

Some deadly and terrifying monsters also woke up from the set slumber, smelled the smell of food in the air, and left the nest.

In the town near Blood Moon City.

A series of obscure magic fluctuations were transmitted.

The cultists hidden in the hidden base showed ferocious smiles and raised their butcher knives to the sobbing captives around them.

The strong smell of blood filled the air.

The cultists wearing blood-red skull cloaks lifted up the blood-red heads one by one and piled them on the altar.

Obscure and strange spells spread slowly.

Soon, the dead corpses struggled to stand up.

They lifted the twisted blood-red heads from the altar again and placed them on the headless bodies.

So, under the fanatical gaze of countless cultists, these dead lives were resurrected in an extremely twisted way.

The eyes that were opened again were filled with dazzling red light, emitting a strange light like a beast.

In the unconsciously opened mouth, the original teeth fell out one after another and were replaced by sharp fangs.

Under the infection of strange power, their bodies are undergoing great changes.

On the strange altar built by the scarlet corpses, a ball of surging blood is making horrifying roars.

The zombie monsters that have completed the strange transformation rushed out of the dark gate and rushed into the defenseless pedestrian streets.

They run fast, bite anyone they see, and have amazing strength. They can easily cross low obstacles and rush into the house.

People bitten by them will change in a very short time.

In a twisted wailing scream, the originally broken corpse will grow twisted limbs again and transform into a more weird and terrifying zombie monster.

Zombie monsters appeared in every corner of the town at the same time, and under their infection, the number showed an exponential growth.

Soon, panic screams and unconscious roars quickly enveloped the entire town.

"Ah...!"

"Roar...!"

The guards and soldiers who noticed the situation immediately rushed over to investigate the situation.

They found these zombie monsters very scary.

Even if their limbs were cut off and their chests were pierced, they would not die.

Instead, they could use their sharp fangs to tear open their armor.

They also spread the horrible plague they carried on their bodies.

So, the few unprepared guards immediately became new zombies.

They were larger, faster, and more destructive.

"Are there large-scale monsters?"

"Quickly notify the barracks!"

"Quickly request support from Blood Moon City!"

"Communication failed, quickly use the teleportation array!"

"It's too late, take people out!"

"Go to the barracks, quickly!"

The nobles and the ruling class of the town, realizing that something was wrong, immediately prepared to go to the barracks and mobilize the army to resolve the crisis.

Unfortunately, the cultists hiding around them decisively launched an attack, which instantly caused heavy damage to them.

At the same time, a group of figures hiding in the dark rushed out and quickly attacked the guards at the city gate, killing them without any defense.

Then, they closed the city gate and blocked it!

The whole town was completely destroyed in a short time and became a terrifying bloody hell.

Similar scenes occurred in more than ten towns around Blood Moon City.

The unsuspecting town residents suffered from the terrorist attacks of zombie monsters, were killed one after another, and were transformed into terrifying zombie monsters.

All this happened too fast.

Precise arrangement, simultaneous launch, terrifying zombie infection, careful lurking and sudden rise.

The nobles of the Knight Territory and the Baron Territory were completely unable to resist such a terrorist attack.

Only a few towns had survivors, and they rushed out before the cultists completely blocked the town.

Most of them were led by professionals of the extraordinary rank, or the surviving cutting-edge combat forces of some families.

Unfortunately, the cultists who had been prepared for a long time also set up terrifying death traps on their escape route.

One after another, the red twisted monsters surrounded the fleeing extraordinary professionals.

They have no skin, and their flexible limbs are wrapped in strong muscles. They have sickle-like white claws, and a tongue covered with spikes sticks out from their big mouths with three rows of teeth.

They are extremely fast and numerous. They can jump and move between trees and attack from all directions.

Extraordinary professionals must be careful to avoid their claws and tongues, and wrap their whole bodies with fighting spirit to prevent any possibility of injury.

Or they can chop off their heads at a very fast speed and fight their way out of the unfinished encirclement.

Unfortunately, it is often too late at this time.

The hidden cultist extraordinary professionals will bring a terrifying army of zombies and wait for them to arrive exhausted.

Therefore, the extraordinary professionals who are regarded as the main hunting targets by the cultists are also infected by the terrifying zombies and transformed into more terrifying monsters.

Blood Moon City.

Central Mage Tower.

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

The sharp and piercing alarm sound immediately attracted the attention of 343.

Before she could find out what happened, the Lord Mayor, who was emitting surging mana, had already appeared in front of her.

Lord Annie frowned, glanced at a large area of ​​signal beacon holes within the control range of Blood Moon City, and said without hesitation:

"Send a level one alert to all cities, towns, and villages, and order all nobles and troops to be on high alert."

Just as Annie was about to mobilize the army, the entire central control room suddenly flashed with a bloody red light.

A cold voice came from 343's mouth.

"Highest alert, the underground seal is loose, and it must be reinforced immediately!"

With a fixed gaze, City Lord Anne looked at the bewildered and helpless 343, took out the City Lord token without hesitation, threw it directly to 343, collected several space equipment, and said in a hurried tone:

"All affairs of the territory are now under your unified responsibility."

"Notify Knight Harley to refuse any orders from the family."

"Notify Lord Matthew and ask him to assist in defense..."

City Lord Anne couldn't help but take a deep breath, with a little realization and determination flashing in her eyes. She looked at 343's bewildered expression and said the last sentence:

"Unfortunately, the experiment is not yet completed!"

Before she finished speaking, her entire figure had disappeared.

"Annie..."

Before 343 could react, a violent shock came from the underground of Blood Moon City.

The piercing alarm in the Mage Tower did not dissipate, and it was still replaying mechanically:

"The seal is loose, please reinforce it immediately!"

"The seal is loose, please reinforce it immediately!"

Matthew subconsciously raised his head, waved to the curious Yaya and Oriana, and said to 343 who suddenly appeared in front of him without hesitation:

"First stabilize the situation in Blood Moon City. I will control the underground ruins, and you control the surface city and send out an alarm to other lords and nobles."

Thinking of the new emergency plan that emerged in his mind, 343 immediately began to arrange it.

Hundreds of communication spells were sent out, and nearly 20% of them did not respond.

343 immediately realized that these areas must have been attacked.

However, Blood Moon City is temporarily unable to provide support...

Carlisle City.

The fierce shouting and killing sounded over the roar of the beast.

Dense crossbow arrows flew out and shot down the zombie monsters that rushed up.

"Don't retreat, retreat means death."

Knight Hawke roared hysterically, waved his hand at the small catapult on the city wall and shouted:

"Release the kerosene!"

Crack!

Splash!

Whoosh!

The flames spread and engulfed the zombie monsters struggling to stand up.

These horrible monsters, surrounded by the flames, still howled and rushed out, staggering against the city wall.

Until the flesh and blood on their bodies were burned into charcoal, they turned into a pile of charred bones and fell to the ground.

Brown Carlisle, who rushed to the city wall, changed his face. Looking at these strange monsters, he recalled the strange monsters he had seen in the underground world with the Bay Leader, and said without hesitation:

"Go and prepare the purification potion, and notify the priests of the Goddess Church!"

The raging fire gradually went out.

After the rolling smoke and dust dissipated, a large number of zombie monsters of various shapes surged up like a tide.
