[Chapter 442: Necromancer Red Queen]
entering the hive, everyone was shocked by the tragic scene here. Hobbs looked at the researchers who died in different ways and felt more and more that there was a conspiracy here.
Following the path guided by Kaplan, the group arrived at the legendary Restaurant No. 2 smoothly. Hobbs looked at the monsters locked in these special iron cabinets with a very ugly face.
“You tell me, this ghost place is a restaurant?”
A series of various things made Hobbs very suspicious of Kaplan. What exactly is this so-called hive laboratory for?
Is this mechanical engineer a monitor sent by the other party?
After completing this mission, what trouble will he face next?
At this time, Hobbs no longer entangled in the identity of “leader” and “captain”. He didn’t want to die here in a muddle. He planned to test David and others’ words first, find out their identities, and after confirming that they were not arranged by Kane, discuss what to do next?
Just as Hobbes was thinking this, David, who was looking at another iron cabinet, followed Hobbes’ words and complained: “Maybe it is really a restaurant, but it is definitely not prepared for humans.”
Hobbes glanced at David not far away, and then looked at Alice who was confused and obviously hadn’t remembered anything yet.
“Anyway, complete the task first!” There
was no way to find potions or anything like that. At present, his only task was to take out the core of the arcane mechanism and bring it back to the Kingdom of Arendelle.
Several people came to the core area of the mechanism. David looked at Kaplan who was busy there and thought of an interesting question.
“If we don’t take that core away, how will the next plot develop?”
Using a small spell, he set up a ‘chat room’ for himself, Laura and Steve, so that they could talk through their minds without worrying about being overheard by the people next to them.
“In that case, Hobbes will most likely attack you.”
“Indeed.”
Although they didn’t spend much time together, they had a general understanding of Hobbes’s character: he would not give up the task unless it was clear that the employer was trying to harm him.
At this moment, the hive, which was originally as bright as day, suddenly dimmed, and then the backup lights came on, and several closed iron doors around it opened with a click.
“What’s going on?”
The three people immediately looked at Kaplan, who was proudly announcing his achievements: “I have completely shut down the core. Next, take out the core and leave.”
“…”
How could this Kaplan be more powerful than the original Kaplan? He actually shut down the hive host directly?
In the original plot, didn’t he have to go through the laser channel?
Where is the promised laser channel?
Hobbes didn’t know that David was cursing in his heart. He quickly took out the core of the mechanism and handed it to Kaplan, the mechanism master, for safekeeping, and then prepared to take everyone back to Arendelle.
Although there were many strange situations, he could ignore those things if he could successfully complete the mission commission.
However, things could not develop in the direction he wanted. Before he could even walk out of the core area, the monster he had seen in the iron cabinet in the second restaurant had already killed him.
“Ugly monster, I knew you would cause me trouble.” Hobbs glanced at the wound on his arm, not taking this minor injury seriously. He drew out his warhammer and giant axe, and rushed forward with a roar.
Alice and the others, who were frightened by the sudden appearance of the monster, were a little overwhelmed. They didn’t know what they should do in this situation.
On the contrary, Kaplan’s actions were very firm. He stood behind Steve at the first time and entrusted his safety to the shield-bearing warrior.
In addition to the lickers that appeared one after another as if they were skinned, zombies also began to appear.
Hobbs, who was swinging two heavy weapons to fight the lickers, noticed that more and more undead creatures appeared around him, and finally understood what secrets were hidden in this damn laboratory.
“Damn, there is a necromancer here!”
“…”
For some reason, David always felt that this roar was full of flaws.
“Are you still not going to attack?” Laura, who had already taken out her bow and arrow and was calling out the zombies around her one by one, occasionally shooting at the more threatening Lickers, looked at David, who was always standing behind her, as if she and Kaplan were both assistants with little combat power: “Are you going to hand over all these zombies to us?”
“I don’t think there are enough zombies for you to kill alone.”
David carefully observed the zombies around him. He found that these zombies all carried the power of death. These zombies were indeed awakened by mysterious forces, not created by viruses like in the movies.
This also led to the fact that these zombies were not as “fragile” as in the movies. Even if they were shot in the head with an arrow, they would still continue to move forward firmly towards their target and launch attacks.
He didn’t need to remind his teammates, as everyone present could sense this.
In comparison, David was more concerned about where these powers of death came from? Is there really a powerful necromancer hiding in the hive of this world?
“Sure enough, unknown things are more likely to arouse curiosity.”
After thinking for a while, David was ready to try to lure out the mastermind behind the scenes. As a result, when he looked up, he found that the last zombie had been killed by Steve with a hammer.
Whether it was Steve, a Paladin, or Laura, a Holy Light Hunter, after they discovered that these undead could only be killed by defeating the death power in their bodies, each attack would be attached with a strong holy light.
These two were definitely the nemesis of the undead. With such a large group of zombies around them, they soon fell to the ground while they were chopping melons and vegetables, and could no longer stand up.
Even Hobbs was amazed at their fighting power. At the same time, it was not until this time that he realized that these two temporary teammates were not ordinary “warriors” and “hunters.”
“It turned out to be a Paladin… and a hunter who can use holy power.” Looking at David, who claimed to be a priest, Hobbs suspected that this priest would take the initiative to team up with him to come to Raccoon Town, in fact, just to come here to solve the evil necromancer?
I don’t know if I was misunderstood. David suddenly felt a force of death filling the entire space, and then poured into the corpses on the ground.
“It’s not over yet, be careful!”
He raised his hand and struck a punishment, killing the zombie that grabbed Matthew’s leg again. David’s holy light was pure and powerful. Just a casual attack destroyed all the death power that had just been filled in the zombie’s body.
Steve, who realized that these zombies could still be resurrected, frowned and stomped his feet immediately, using the group attack skill of dedication.
The powerful and rich holy light gushed out from the floor, bathing all the zombies that had just been injected with a large amount of death power, and dissolving the death power in their bodies again.
“…”
Hobbs couldn’t help swallowing his saliva as he watched countless zombies that had crawled up or just raised their heads and had not had time to get up lie on the ground again.
The situation here was much more terrible than he expected. If he had to deal with these undead creatures that could not be killed, it would be difficult for him to leave alive today.
And these temporary teammates were stronger than he could imagine. Could they have been specially sent by the Church?
Just as Hobbs was thinking about all kinds of speculations in his mind, David had already locked the position of the “enemy”.
“What a surprise, it’s right next to us.”
He grabbed the bag from Kaplan’s hand and threw it into the air, followed by a holy light wave, blasting it into slag!
But just one second before the core was blown up, a translucent shadow flew out of it and hovered above a large number of corpses.
“…”
After David saw the shadow image on the opposite side, he could no longer control the power of complaints in his stomach: Isn’t this Red Queen? The personality has changed from artificial intelligence to undead? Judging from this posture, it is still a very powerful necromancer.
Just when the cute and harmless Red Queen was about to “resurrect” the group of corpses around her again, Red Queen suddenly felt a huge threat approaching.
Relying on the special nature of the undead, it moved to a distance in an instant.
Just as Red Queen fled, a pillar of fire descended from the void, and in the blink of an eye, all the corpses on the ground were burned to ashes.
“…”
Red Queen wanted to say something, but at that moment she did feel the fear of death. Since she transformed into an undead, she hasn’t felt this way for a long time.
The pillar of fire with divine power was so terrifying that even though it didn’t even touch her, she felt like she was being purified when it descended from such a distance.
“Who are you?”
“David.” David, who had cleared the miscellaneous soldiers, waved his hand gently and used holy light to directly seal and lock the area, so that the undead necromancer could not escape.
Red Queen looked around and realized that the entire space was sealed by the terrifying divine power. She understood what she was facing: death! There was no suspense!
Seeing this, Red Queen stopped pretending. She was no longer an honest, well-behaved, and cute child. She gradually turned into a skeleton wearing a red dress with rotten flesh on her body, screaming wildly at David.
“Humph, it’s just a barking of incompetence!”
The scream with the breath of death would be a fatal threat to ordinary living people, but to David, it was just noise.
The damage was not as good as the most dazzling little apple that David sang casually.
“Shut up!”
Without any skills or reputation, he gathered a huge holy light and blasted it on Red Queen, interrupting her death scream and putting her on the verge of death.
Watching the Red Queen’s body slowly disappearing, David began to think, “How can the plot develop later?”
At this moment, he heard Red Queen’s vicious curse:
“The Umbrella Mage Society will not let you go… and the Church behind you…”
