Zero looked at the corpse in front of him.
This is a young soldier. The youthful appearance under the helmet and the freckles on his face all indicate that this soldier will not be more than twenty years old. However, this young life has disappeared in the wilderness. His neck was almost bitten open, and the torn muscle fibers stretched all the way to his chest. The head and body were at a strange angle of nearly 90 degrees, and white vertebrae protruded from the cracked surface of the neck, exposing them to the air.
There were also huge and deep marks on the soldier's body, which were caught by a sharp object, and from the scars, it was a big claw.
Zero touched the soldier's body with his hands, and found that his shoulder blades and sternum had been broken and almost shattered. This is caused by a blunt force impact, and most of the muscle fibers in the body show signs of pulling and tearing.
So in Zero's mind, the animation model of the corpse being bitten by the neck by a wolf, then swinging back and forth and hitting the ground took shape.
The wolf is an animal that enjoys food for convenience. While biting the neck of the prey with sharp fangs, it will shake the prey through the shaking of the neck muscles, smash them to the ground, and use the force of the impact to tear the body of the prey. Not only wolves, but other species like crocodiles also use this kind of attack.
Seeing this situation, Zero immediately thought of the corpse wolf. But whether it was the corpse, the claw marks on the armored vehicle, or the footprints on the ground nearly a meter apart, it all showed that the one who attacked the Phoenix army was not a common mutated creature like a corpse wolf.
Regardless of its shape or strength, the corpse wolf was unable to achieve the killing marks left on the scene. At least there is an army with armored vehicles in the formation. Zero has never heard of any kind of corpse wolf that can wipe them all out.
The shadow of death hangs over the hearts of everyone in the caravan, and even the fully armed army has encountered an accident. They dare not imagine how many people in the caravan can survive if they encounter this unknown creature. When they think of this question, they think of zero. Probably only this brilliant sniper expert has the possibility of escape.
The pale-faced Campbell let the caravan continue to move forward. Only when they enter Phoenix City will the merchants feel safe.
In the ensuing journey, wrecks of chariots and soldiers like this appeared one after another on the caravan's path. Seeing those nearly disemboweled corpses made Camper terrified. It was not until Phoenix was in sight that such corpses completely disappeared.
Zero made some calculations silently, and came to the conclusion that the nearest corpse was less than two hundred kilometers away from Phoenix City.
After seeing the Phoenix, Zero knew that the creature that attacked the army was smart.
Phoenix is actually a fortress city built on the back of a dam. The towering dams in the past have become artificial barriers against the attacks of various wilderness dangerous creatures today. In addition to multiple firepower points equipped with high-speed cannons, Phoenix even has four sets of surface-to-air missile defense systems. However, considering that this city is close to Death God Ridge, it is reasonable to have this level of firepower configuration.
At the entrance of the city, Zero saw a huge phoenix crest. Campbell told him that the city was created entirely out of nothing, and that the builders of the city were the former officers and citizens of Moline. They built this fortress city in the hope that the city could be reborn like a phoenix, which is also the origin of the name Phoenix.
After a series of complicated security checks and the origin of the caravan was confirmed, the city was developed for Camber and his party.
After a heavy locomotive drove past the alloy gate transformed on the foundation of the dam, Zero saw a surface city like the city of Fury Reef. It is naturally surrounded by the dam facing the highway and the rolling mountains behind it. However, unlike Nujiao City, which follows the style of old-age urban buildings, in Phoenix City, it has straight and neat streets, and there are many buildings. A planned city formed by buildings with uniform appearance.
Phoenix has a rigorous, precise urban style that reminds Zero of the military.
In fact, there are quite a few chariots and soldiers shuttling through the city right now, but the citizens seem to have gotten used to it.
Even in the city, Zero has seen many obstacles. These levels seem to have just been set up, and neither the equipment nor the personnel are clearly in place, giving Zero a feeling of hastily arranged. There were still many wounded soldiers passing through the checkpoint, and Zero even saw a truck full of wounded soldiers pass by, which added a gloomy feeling to the city.
Campbell also clearly felt that the atmosphere in the city was not quite right. Even though Phoenix was a fortress-type city, militarized methods were used as the daily management of the city on weekdays. But today's Phoenix City seemed a little nervous, as if it was defending against something's attack. On the streets, the most seen are chariots and soldiers patrolling back and forth, and the citizens seem to be left in their houses. It is rare to see one or two, and they are also in a hurry.
When passing the third checkpoint, a rough voice rang out: "Isn't this Camber? I haven't seen you for almost half a year, and I thought you were dead."
A middle-aged officer walked out of the checkpoint's outpost. His short hair made the officer look very energetic. But his eyes and movements did show exhaustion. When the officer walked to the off-road vehicle, Campbell also jumped off and nodded, bowing his head and saying, "Sir George, long time no see. You are still so energetic."
"Fart, you're blind, you didn't see that I'm as tired as a dog, how can I have the spirit of bullshit." The officer responded rudely, and immediately Camber's flattery was slapped on the horse's leg.
Campbell smiled awkwardly: "Maybe I'm a little tired, I didn't see it, don't take offense."
He asked again: "Sir George, what happened in this city? To tell you the truth, we saw your army on the way here. But those fresh lives have turned into corpses, which makes me very sad." Terrified. I'm a businessman, you know, and I'm not very brave...”
George gave Campbell a disdainful look, and said, "Don't worry, those damn Fenley wolves will never touch you in the city. Unless you think it's too much to go to the wilderness by yourself, I'm sorry, The current army in Phoenix City is not luxurious enough to send out a special army to protect you, Your Excellency Campbell."
When he heard the word "Fenli wolf", Campbell's fat body trembled vigorously, and the merchant screamed: "How is it possible, creatures like Fenli wolves don't live in the frost forest in the Northland, they How did you come to the vicinity of Phoenix?"
"You ask me, who should I ask?" George rolled his eyes as the closing words between him and the businessman.
George gestured to the soldiers at the checkpoint to let the caravan pass. However, after hearing the news about the Fenley wolf, Campbell sat on the off-road vehicle with his head downcast as if he had lost his spirit. Zero has seen some records of this kind of magic wolf in Ben's monster notes. In addition to its huge size, Fenli wolf combines strength and agility, and is also born with the ability to use ice elements. Therefore, they are also called magic wolves, which means magic wolves.
In the general risk assessment of the mainland, the Fenli wolf is identified as a monster with a third-level danger. The third level of danger is already equivalent to the risk assessment of a butcher, but there is only one butcher among thousands of living corpses, and the Fenli wolves are acting in packs. Just imagine, if dozens of butchers attacked together, the hundred-man army in Phoenix City would be wiped out without any suspense, it would not be so unbelievable.
