In the past, we were forced out of the weapons factory due to our weakness. Faced with an unending wave of skeletal beasts and undead, retreat was unavoidable. However, now that I ca upon that little windfall in the underground the park, our overall combat power had risen multiple fold. My max SP had increased from 60 to 700, and I had even attained a powerful summon in the form of that inferno lion. Now was the ti to reclaim that bio-exosuit.
However, by the ti we reached the factory floor, we found the room an entire ss, and the bio-exosuit nowhere to be found.
Equipnt had been strewn around in wrecked piles of tal, but there were no signs of that bio-exosuit anywhere. The most likely explanation would be that those monsters transported it elsewhere, or perhaps it had just been destroyed so completely Regardless, there were no traces of it.
I swiftly slaughtered my way through its infested hallways, scouring them for any hints of where the bio-exosuit could be. However, there was still nothing, as if it had completely vanished from the face of Gaia.
Not here either
Dont tell it awoke so kind of consciousness and walked out by itself? As always, our resident middle-schooler was more than ready to fill in the gaps with her crazy theories. The worst part was that she actually made sense It was a bio-exosuit, what if it had so kind of soul inside it or consciousness Anyway, the fact is that its gone.
I guess theres no reason to stay here then, we dont have that much ti to begin with, what with the chaos enveloping the city. Ghosts, skeletons, zombies, superhumans At this point, I wouldnt be surprised if a vampire started popping up; nothing would surprise anymore.
Maybe a magical girl will suddenly round the corner and say hi.. Or not. But theres a giant zombie at least. That giant zombie is jumping towards right now.
With the force of a lumbering mammoth, the giant zombie leapt right at , causing the ceiling to shake a little from the sheer force. No matter what manner of creature it was that stood in its way, the giant zombie simply barrelled through them like a bowling ball.
Your Highness, were under attack!
Floaters!
Lixiang and Floater were the first to discover the nearly five-ter tall, rampaging hulk of a zombie. Just based on its size alone, I would say it was at least a level five or six. Even the strongest of exosuits wouldnt be able to take a hit from that and co out unscathed.
The two girls were clearly alard by this newcor as well. They imdiately took up a combat stance, but this would soon prove to be unnecessary.
Ill take care of it! Taste my sword!
I pulled out Icy Inferno, and with another firm step forward, drew it in a wide, lunging slash.
A wave of overbearing sword energy, ford of an impossible combination of fire and ice, swept right through the zombie, slicing it in half
Bam
Black ichor splattered about in a rain of crushed bones and severed limbs.
Only your Highness can strike a monster down like that in one swing!
Lixiang stared adoringly at , which I returned with a slight smile.
Floater, on the other hand, did not react much, but she was staring at for so reason or another.
Yet barely a second later after that lumbering giant collapsed, the hallways reverberated with the sounds of more undead creatures. These skeletal beasts did not even consider the difference in our powers before they pounced at , their empty eye sockets sohow burning with a tenacity only matched by their lack of intelligence.
Lets leave, theres no reason for us to linger.
Because of the cramped interior of the factory, I dared not summon my inferno lion or fire elentals, lest their overwhelming attacks cause the ceiling to collapse.
Thankfully, Icy Inferno was a powerful weapon in its own right. No monster could survive a swing of its elental blade!
We quickly left the underground factory and proceeded to our next destination: the 12th District. However, there were a few survivor camps we had to drop by on the way. These were all locations marked out on my map by aunty Xinqing. Each had their own defenders, whether it was a group of soldiers ard with exosuits, or perhaps ability users.
Because the Federation had already announced that help was on the way, and also because only three days had passed so far, there was still so semblance of order amongst the survivors. Barring the truly incorrigible, most of these survivor camps were actually waiting for the Federations promised rescue. Battered in spirit they might be, but they still clung to the old order of society.
That tri-colored hoodlum and Yamabe Takuma were clearly exceptions. In so sense, what was truly terrifying wasnt the physical change that befallen the city, but rather the psychological warping.
Take an apple, for example. The outside could be all red and shiny, but one bite later, you discover that its rotten. But its already too late, because theres a half-eaten worm sticking out of the flesh
As for those ugly apples Thanks, but no thanks! I value appearances, very much so! Anyway, physical changes: not scary. Psychological changes: scary. Because you cant tell until its too late.
After arranging to bring the survivors back to the inn at night, the three of us continued our journey, quickly arriving at the abandoned munitions factory hidden within the 12th District.
The entrance to the factory was stashed away in an abandoned warehouse. The 12th District itself could be said to be the tail-end of Southern Plains. And this abandoned warehouse was at the outskirts of this outskirt. Basically, no one ca here. In fact, no one ca here since it was sealed up. I could tell because the tape labelling the warehouse as sealed hadnt been touched.
As for why we were still using such an ancient thod who knows
Because this place was so remote, there were not many zombies around either.
Lixiang had already sliced apart the nearby zombies in a fit of excited point-farming rage. As she basked in the afterglow of the points, I could tell she was still hungering for more.
Honestly, she did not have to work so hard, I could easily earn enough to feed our family I an, feed her I an Never mind.
Lets have a look inside According to General Rodenas, this place was sealed up years ago. He doesnt know the exact reason, but according to the records, there should be so abandoned munitions we can use here.
Given Southern Plainss current situation, procuring these arms would help any future survivors stay alive. Or at the very least, arming them would allow them to fend off any ordinary zombie.
