Wu Qi forcefully pulled out the three-foot-long knife from the tank beast's throat, bringing out a few drops of blood. The armored beast's little giant-like body knelt on its knees, and then fell to the ground with a bang.
The life force of the tank beast quickly drained away, and it became a complete dead body. After Wu Qi sensed this, the tense nerves and muscles of his body finally relaxed slowly.
The battle in which he won two by one mistake was really an extreme game. Originally, he wanted to die and be defeated. But when he was in danger, the long knife's weight suddenly increased significantly. He had enough gravity to transport it into the environment as much as he wanted to control the sand in a large area of the sea.
Before the scalability of the long sword was improved, he had used the method of saving scalability to divert the sand of the Sea of Sand for his own use. With his previous practice, when he controlled the sand of the Sea of Sand again, he felt like he was gifted with divine power. Nothing is impossible.
The armored beast didn't see through whether his power was "gravity" before he died, so he could use the medium of sand and sea to take advantage of the power.
"Woo!"
A long fox cry suddenly reached Wu Qi's ears, interrupting Wu Qi's "quick review" of the wrong battle in his mind. As soon as Wu Qi turned around, he saw Qi Qi standing 20 meters away from the burning wreckage of the investigation vehicle, raising her little head and wagging her tail to call him.
Next to Qiyue lay Yue Zhanfei, Guo Baibo, and Gao Yuan. They were all burned to varying degrees by the high-temperature flames. Their combat uniforms and large areas of their skin were burned black, looking like three human-shaped black coals.
Wu Qi immediately ran to Qi Qi and the three of them. He squatted east and measured their heartbeats and breathing one by one. His expression went from tense to relaxed, then tense to relaxed again, and so on for three rounds.
Wu Qi finally calmed down after measuring everyone's heartbeats and breathing. Their injuries were relatively serious, and Bu Nao's remaining energy was enough for him to deal with the aftermath and save them all. After doing the most important thing, Wu Qi's eyes returned to Qiyue.
July's small black pearl-like eyes blinked at it, showing a ruthless expression of wanting to be rewarded. Wu Qi stretched out his left leg and gently stroked Qi Qi's back, gently following its hair. The red hair fell off in several places on Qi Qi's body, revealing the wounds caused by the turbulent flow. Those wounds looked like the sharp claws of wild beasts, and four or five deep cuts were made with one scratch. The deep gashes and wounds healed very slowly, which made Wu Qi feel distressed.
The high-temperature flames posed no threat to Qiyue, but Qiyue endured a considerable amount of damage to her body caused by the turbulent currents. She entered and exited the burning wreckage of the investigation vehicle, and pulled Guo Baibai, Yue Zhanfei, and Gao Yuan out of the sea of fire. , must have suffered a lot.
"July, well done."
Rather than feeling happy, Wu Qi felt a little bit sad in his heart. As soon as the atavistic black scale armor was removed, Wu Qi's eyes turned red, with a few sporadic tears of emotion rolling in his eyes.
Wu Qi rubbed Qi Qi's furry little head into his arms, Dongba rubbed Qi Qi's head gently, and finally kissed Dong Qi's forehead gently.
"Woo." Qi Qi made a very soft voice. It was connected to Wu Qi's soul and felt the emotions surging in its owner's heart.
"Don't worry, when we open our eyes, we will be in a safe place." Wu Qi said to himself.
... ...
Two hours later.
The huge throne ship sailed at a constant speed in the wasteland with no end of the horizon. The wasteland was very calm, as if everything was silent.
The orange moon shines in the sky, and the light gradually changes to the color of the sunset in the east. The deck of the throne ship is there, Chris is walking on the chair of the ship and looking into the distance, Xiao Kui and Pi Chunsheng are scattered on both sides of the deck looking in the other two directions.
Wu Qipan was walking in the center of the deck. Four outdoor beds were laid out next to him. Guo Baibai, Yue Zhanfei, Gao Yuan, and Qiyue were all lying on the beds. They slept soundly and their breathing was steady.
"Yeah." Guo Bobai suddenly murmured in her sleep, and then her eyelids moved slightly and she opened her eyes.
When Guo Baibo opened his eyes again, the first thing he saw was the orange sky. Her gaze stayed in the center of the sky, which was outlined with a few faint clouds. The air was very quiet, and a few black birds flew silently across the orange sky without making any sound.
"Is the world after death so peaceful..."
"No."
Wu Qi's sudden answer surprised Guo Baibo. She turned around and saw Wu Qi walking very close to her. Wu Qi also turned his head and his eyes calmly met hers.
"Wu Qi, no matter what, I can't..."
"Afraid that I would be too lonely, we came together." Wu Qi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, narrowed his beautiful big eyes into two crescent moons, and smiled softly.
Guo Baibo was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at Wu Qi's smiling face. The micro-expression on his face changed again and again, and he was helplessly relieved.
"Okay. He really thought I was going to go away alive."
Wu Qi suddenly stretched out his legs and pulled Guo Baibai's delicate earlobe. When Guo Baibai felt the pain, he blurted out a soft "Oh!"
"You are joking with me. Get up and take a look. They are all alive and well." Wu Qi broke the "illusion" with one word, and his gentle smile immediately turned into a serious and calm expression.
"Hey, it really hurts," Guo Bobai complained while holding Wu Qi's shoulders to help her walk. Then she pinched Wu Qi's earlobe without warning and pulled it with five minutes of strength.
Although it was not very painful, Wu Qi showed a "very sensible" expression that he felt something.
"Then it's even," Guo Baibai said angrily, "Very good. I thought he was so stupid. He was cooperating with me in acting."
"Humph." Wu Qi didn't intend to decide the winner or loser on that matter, so he could just brush it off.
Guo Baibo looked around and found out whether they were in the throne ship. If nothing else, he will be on his way back.
Yue Zhanfei and Gao Yuan were still awake, and their faces had black and red burn marks. Guo Baibo remembered that he had also fallen in the burning car, and even touched his face.
"Wu Qi, is there any disfigurement on his face?" Guo Baibo asked very concerned.
"Don't worry, it's clean and beautiful." Wu Qi replied.
Two hours ago, Wu Qi injected advanced cell active agent into all three people. The skin of the three people all scabbed off in the burnt areas, and the new skin was pink and tender. Guo Baibo's skin recovered the fastest among the three, and she happened to wake up after recovering well.
After another half hour, Yue Zhanfei and Gao Yuan woke up one after another. Yue Zhanfei had just woken up and was in a very bad state. Wu Qi took his place and called all the team members to the center of the deck to share the investigation.
Wu Qi very seriously recounted the entire enemy-baiting operation from beginning to end, which naturally included the long march of plague seeds that he discovered across the sand sea and numbered in the hundreds.
"After the battle, a total of 48 large-scale plague species died in the battle to lure the enemy, and none of them transformed into zombie beasts after death. Although this does not prove that the entire march of plague species is not a corpse beast, but at least The proportion of organisms infected by the Necrobiosis Virus is not high in the east of the Sand Sea. The source of the Necrosis Virus should be from the west of the Sand Sea, or to be more precise, from the northwest of the Sand Sea."
"The destination of the desert plague leader's march is not unknown. Among them, 48 stronger individuals were attracted by him with his blood, while other weak individuals were not moved by the bait. It means that they The entire long march itself has a clear goal, and it is possible to be 'called' by a certain third-order overlord and gather into an army." Wu Qi finished his investigation conclusion.
"Master, he also has new information," Chris said seriously. He used his legs to control the deck to raise a black mud box, and opened the lid of the black mud box. There were frozen green vultures hidden inside.
"There is no investigation material they captured. Those clusters of green vultures will attack the corpses of plague species, but their behavior is very strange. Not only do they not eat the corpses against their habits, but they also take a few mouthfuls of the corpses and infect the corpses with the corpse virus. The dead body will fly back into the sky immediately after it is left behind. Obviously, they don’t know that the dead body will be resurrected, and they will hurt it in turn.”
Chris continued: "The evidence shows that this is not the first time that the group of green vultures have done such a thing. They seem to be tasked with spreading the zombie virus, and they are not the messengers of the boss!"
Wu Qi nodded thoughtfully. He took out a green vulture ice sculpture from the black mud box, placed the ice sculpture on the deck, and then used the wilderness god's revelation to detect it.
In just ten seconds, Wu Qi had found out the detailed life information of the green eclipse vulture. It is not a living life, nor is it a dead beast. There are no traces of being tampered with by "Keli" in the life information and gene chain information. They can deduce that the Green Eclipse Vulture and its companions were alive. After receiving the boss's order, he acted as a messenger to spread the virus for the boss.
"The number of Green Eclipse Vultures that serve as the boss's messengers seems to be small, but in fact, the role they play is dozens or even hundreds of times their number. As we all know, 'the wasteland will not leave the remains of life' , the nature of the plague species is such that they will devour any meat containing the alien virus, both living and dead."
"That is, if the green eclipse vulture transforms a dead corpse into a corpse beast, there are two ways to expand the spread of the corpse virus. If not, the corpse beast returns to its original population and infects the corpse virus. To an entire population. Secondly, after the corpse beast is resurrected, it will still become food for other plague species, and the corpse virus that fills its body will also be transmitted to all hunters who eat it." Wu Qishu Lift up two legs and fingers and say.
"Wrong. A corpse transformed into a corpse beast can spread a very large transmission network. A green vulture can fly 9 to 10 hours a day. Counting that way, those boss messengers can infect an extremely wide range in a day. It's scary, the infection efficiency will increase as time goes by. Then it's a plague!" Yue Zhanfei said.
