Chapter 17: The Strange Tide in the Land of the Dead

In the information hall of the arsenal, soldiers lined up and waited.

Lu Buer looked around. The military was very strict in terms of material control. Soldiers could only exchange materials through the network system, and then the relevant responsible personnel would deliver the materials to their camps. The whole process was monitored.

The possibility of tampering on the road was basically ruled out.

This also meant that their recruits' materials were tampered with in the warehouse of the arsenal. The other party was definitely a senior official of the military.

While queuing, He Sai fully demonstrated his social skills and said in a low voice: "Brother Lu, I have found out clearly that the guy who took away Boss Zhang's daughter is called Luther, a mixed-blood kid, not a cocoon breaker... but the nephew of Instructor Kashiwagi, a relative."

Lu Buer narrowed his eyes: "Relationship?"

He Sai told him that the atmosphere of the Third City Guard was good.

Only Instructor Kashiwagi was disliked.

And this Luther was his nephew.

They were really birds of a feather.

With a snap.

Luther casually slapped his hand on the front desk and said with a stern face: "Check the merit points, exchange for a bottle of premium malt wine, and two master-level memory chips."

He then took out his holy emblem.

The veterans looked at each other: "How many dishes? It's okay to ask for wine, but you also want two master-level memory chips? Do you have enough merit points? Don't make a fool of yourself. Instructor Kashiwagi has always been fair, so don't go to him and cry."

Luther glared: "Just watch if you don't believe it."

Unexpectedly, the pastor at the front desk said politely: "Sorry, your merit points are not enough. The accumulated merits are only 154, which is not enough to exchange for the materials you expect."

The veterans laughed.

However, Luther was not angry, but just said: "It doesn't matter, just upgrade my daily necessities by one level. When can I exchange for the fortune-telling resource package?"

The priest replied: "It still needs to accumulate 846 merit points."

Luther turned and left, not caring about the ridicule of his comrades, and even with a faint smile on his lips, he whispered: "A bunch of idiots."

This scene happened to be captured by Lu Buer.

"Brother Lu, Brother Lu?"

He Sai lowered his voice and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lu Buer shook his head, "Nothing, I just feel something is wrong."

"What do you mean?"

"Look, in theory, what he wants should require a lot of merits. Doesn't he know how many White Walkers he has killed recently? But he has to ask this question, and he is laughed at by others, but he is not angry at all. It is completely different from the attitude he showed when he took away Boss Zhang's daughter. I think he should be a very irritable person."

"Yes, why is he not angry?"

"I have a way to find out, and I will know why soon."

When Lu Buer and He Sai went to verify the merits, the two brothers had more than 400 merits in total, and they didn't know what to exchange for a while.

Finally, at the suggestion of the adjutant, they upgraded their daily necessities first.

Before, their daily necessities were at the lower level, but now they have changed to the middle level.

After spending 100 merits, I hope that the days to come will be better.

The remaining 300 merits were exchanged for two advanced memory chips containing close combat techniques to improve their combat capabilities, which was an investment in self-worth.

"Brother Lu, why did you exchange for two identical ones?"

"One for you and one for me."

"But most of the merits are yours."

"Shut up and stop arguing. After getting the memory chip, don't be too lazy. Keep exercising and vigilant every day. Don't be like the others here."

"Oh, I see..."

In addition, there are more tempting things.

Lu Buer looked at the supplies on the list and murmured: "Origin Realm Promotion Resource Pack, Glory Realm Promotion Resource Pack, Victory Realm Promotion Resource Pack! Numerology Resource Pack, Spell Resource Pack, Soul Blade Resource Pack! Damn, what are these things? Why are they so expensive?"

The first three are mixed resource packs.

The last three are special resource packs.

Yesterday during the battle, the instructor had popularized the three systems.

Numerology, spell, soul blade.

They are all powers that evolvers will gain on the way to promotion.

Numerology is equivalent to the inner strength.

The technique is equivalent to the outer strength.

The soul blade is probably equivalent to the weapon of the companion.

Lu Buer and He Sai are now blank, with only strength.

The resource packages of the three systems are all sky-high prices. Even the cheapest resource package requires more than 3,000 merit points to exchange, which takes a long time to accumulate without eating or drinking.

The key is that ordinary evolvers also need the marrow of the sacred tree.

Life is the most important, and the need for promotion is secondary.

Finally, he saw the price of the marrow of the sacred tree.

Three thousand merit points!

This is a special material, and you need to queue up to buy it.

"Is there no way to accumulate merit quickly?"

He Sai couldn't help asking.

The priest on duty pointed to the projection screen at the end of the hall and said, "There is, because the military sometimes issues some tasks to survey and investigate the land of the living. These tasks are usually very risky, but the rewards are also very rich."

Lu Buer and He Sai immediately took a look.

There were indeed many task lists on the projection screen.

"B-level task: record the mating video of red-haired baboons, with a minimum of 800 merit points."

"A-level task: sterilize wild earth dragon mothers, with a minimum of 1,500 merit points."

"A-level task: collect blood-winged dragon essence, with a minimum of 2,300 merit points."

And so on.

They all seem a little perverted.

"What are you doing here?"

A cold voice came from behind.

Instructor Kashiwagi stood behind him and scolded him, "What are you doing here? You are not eligible to participate in these missions. Major Hara Haru is in charge of the exploration mission of the Third City Guard. In order to ensure the safety of the new recruits, she stipulates that at least the numerology must be condensed before they can participate in these missions. You two ignorant fools, leave quickly."

After saying that, he snorted coldly and turned away.

"This guy is really daddy-like, no wonder he has poor popularity."

Lu Buer complained.

However, when he carefully looked at the task bar, he was stunned.

Because the task bar clearly showed that the instructors of each legion had the obligation to lead the recruits to go out to eliminate the White Walkers, in order to allow them to quickly accumulate merits.

Although this also depends on the instructor's personal schedule.

But the problem is that only Kashiwagi's attendance is zero!

"No wonder Kashiwagi has a bad relationship with people."

Lu Buer murmured, "We were assigned the worst instructor."

He Sai couldn't help but say, "Brother Lu, what should we do?"

Lu Buer fell into deep thought, frowned and said, "How long will it take for the recruits to finish this? It seems that we can only find a way to gather fate as soon as possible, bypass the bastard Kashiwagi, and follow Major Yuan Qing to perform the mission."

In the military restricted area of ​​the Third City Guard, in the morgue 100 meters underground, the incandescent lamps flickered and lit up, illuminating the withered and rotten corpses.

"Ugh."

Yuan Qing really couldn't stand the strong stench of corpses. Even though she was wearing goggles and a protective mask, she was still disgusted and kept retching while holding the chair.

Although she was very reluctant, she had no choice.

When super-sized aliens gather together, it will form a life disaster.

Life disasters are indeed of great importance. It is impossible for the permanent military force of the Third City Guard to deal with such a huge wave of aliens. They can only report the situation to the headquarters, draw troops from other legions, and then use the power of the church to analyze the source of the disaster.

"Who would have thought that our majestic Major Hara Haru would have such a lovely side? If the soldiers under his command saw it, they might be surprised, right?"

Someone sat in a wheelchair, raised his head and said with a smile: "If you really can't stand it, just go out. This smell... ordinary people really can't stand it."

This is a white-haired young man, who is obviously only in his twenties, but gives people an inexplicable sense of vicissitudes. He is wearing a black hooded coat, but the lining is a white coat. The black and white colors are particularly harmonious, as if he only has these two colors on his body.

He dissected the body meticulously.

Organs, fascia, bones, brain marrow, eyeballs, etc.

These rotten body tissues were separated. Ordinary people would vomit just by smelling them, but he could observe and study them carefully without changing his expression.

Occasionally, he would light a cigarette and smoke it, inhaling and exhaling smoke.

"Although these things are scary in your eyes."

He paused: "But in my eyes, they can talk."

The tone of the ghost sounded very gentle at first, but it was actually creepy.

The judges headed by Qingmu all stood behind him, silently keeping a certain safe distance from him, and looking at his back with awe in their eyes.

If Lu Buer was here, he would be very surprised.

Qingmu, who used to show off his power to the cocoon breakers, is now so humble.

"Who would have thought that our famous Mr. Longque would be reduced to being a judge in such a small place? If those people at the headquarters saw him, they would be surprised, right?"

Yuan Qing retorted: "I didn't expect that after so many years, you are already in a wheelchair."

Others were sweating profusely.

Major Yuan Qing is really brave. He dares to say such words. He is really not afraid of death.

Even if he is an acquaintance, he can't say that!

The man in front of him was once the Grand Master of the Abnormal Supervision and Management Bureau. He is a well-known big man in the entire world of evolutionists. The executioner with countless blood on his hands is terrifying.

At that time, the Abnormal Supervision Bureau was extremely powerful. Every day, they took special trains to investigate cases all over the world. If they found you, they would at least lose a layer of skin, which made people panic and everyone was in danger.

Especially the Evolvers in Eurasia and some wealthy families.

Seeing them was like seeing the plague god.

At that time, there were two famous sayings:

"Open the door, the Abnormal Supervision Bureau!"

"The Abnormal Supervision Bureau arrests people, no evidence is needed!"

As long as a judge points at your nose and calls you a heretic, you are finished.

This is even more excessive than Foboler five hundred years ago.

Of course, the original intention of the establishment of the Abnormal Supervision Bureau was to prevent the Evolvers from destroying the peaceful lives of ordinary people with extraordinary power, which is also their main responsibility.

Although the name sounds a bit Western, the name is not important at all. The key point is that their existence has indeed deterred a lot of lawless elements.

But later, I don’t know what happened. The former archbishop was seriously injured in a battle, so he resigned from his post and retired to Linhai City.

With such a big Buddha coming, everyone in Linhai City is in danger.

But Yuan Qing is different.

She is the eldest daughter from the headquarters, and her family's traditional art is a bad temper.

Once she gets angry, she dares to scold anyone.

Long Que didn't mind. He picked up a magnifying glass and carefully observed the rotting white walker on the iron bed: "Girls are really not suitable for this kind of place. It was a mistake for you to join the Abnormal Supervision and Management Bureau. As an inquisitor, clearing disasters is only one part. More often, you have to investigate the source of the disaster and deal with the people who caused the disaster... autopsy is inevitable."

Yuan Qing stood by with a cold face and didn't say anything. The stench of corpses is indeed not something that ordinary people can withstand. From ancient times to the present, the technology of autopsy has been a test of human physiology and psychology.

The morgue fell into silence. Only Longque was turning over the corpse with a magnifying glass and surgical knives. After a long time, he said, "It has been found that all the White Walkers were deformed due to external factors. Seventy-two hours ago, they were still humans sleeping in the cocoon."

The brain of this White Walker had been cut open, and it was obviously used for brain nerve research.

The officers' faces changed: "How could there be so many White Walkers in the cocoon of time at one time? This is impossible. Are you mistaken?"

Humans sleeping in cocoons have always been a problem for the Supreme Federation today.

Especially for the cocoon breakers sleeping in the land of the dead, there is no way to search and rescue them on a large scale, because such behavior can easily cause life disasters and even awaken some sleeping monsters.

But humans sleeping in the cocoon of time are basically safe, because before the cocoon worms die completely, silk can play a good protective role.

As for the wrong evolution into White Walkers, it only exists in a small number of antisocial lunatics. How could such a large number of them gather at one time?

"Could it be that the criminals in the prison also got the helmets?"

Yuan Qing narrowed her eyes: "That can't be so many."

"Criminals can't get the qualifications to enter the cocoon, and not all of them are crazy people with antisocial personality. This matter is very strange, but I have found some clues."

Longque raised his head and said lightly: "The soil under their feet contains ingredients that only appear in the land of the dead, and there are some traces left by sacrifices."

At this moment, everyone in the morgue was surprised.

This group of aliens actually came from the land of the dead!

Longque raised his head and swept his eyes over everyone present: "I came back not long ago, and I can't figure out what happened for a while, so..."

No one wanted to look at Longque.

Because that feeling is very uncomfortable, as if they were seen through from head to toe.

They held their breath, and their heartbeats seemed to miss half a beat.

There is no way, they are too scared.

Once Longque points at you and indicates that you are related to this matter, you are finished.

Although they think they are innocent, the Abnormal Supervision and Management Bureau does not care about this.

If you say you have a problem, you will lose a layer of skin.

Especially Qingmu.

If he is not mentally strong enough, he will probably start to panic.

Just from these few corpses, the place of rebirth can be locked!

"Qingmu, you just came back from the place of rebirth recently."

Longque asked calmly: "Did you find anything unusual?"

Qingmu's heart tightened, and he shook his head and replied: "Except for bringing back some cocoon breakers, I didn't find anything special. Those cocoon breakers may have clues, I can ask them. Two of them are on the front line of the Third City Guard and can be interrogated now."

He was lying, but he couldn't guarantee that he would not be exposed.

Everyone turned and looked at the female officer on the side.

Yuan Qing tilted his head and thought for a while: "New recruits? Let's go and see."

I have vomited and diarrhea today, so I updated late, sorry!
