Warlord – Chapter 98

Zero checked the corpse in front of him

It was a young soldier There was a green heluy's face was full of freckles Zero estimated that the soldier wasn't more than twenty years old

The youth's neck was al the head to the body had been twisted into a strange angle The bones in the neck were cracked and had stabbed out

It seee object Moreover there were claw marks and scars on his body

Zero touched the soldier's body and found out that the youth's scapula and shoulder had been broken and almost crushed It was caused by the impact of the blunt force that was used to pull the body up and down

Zero iined that the soldier's body was bitten fro the ground

Wolves would usually would use their sharp fangs to bite the neck of the prey, shake it and hit to ground to tear its body by the force of the impact This method isn't just used by wolves Crocodiles and other species use such attacks too

Zero iht of the mutated wolves However, neither zombies nor mutated wolves could use claws to make marks on armored vehicles It seemed that the creatures that attacked the Phoenix army weren't common mutants

Mutated wolves didn't have strength to leave such traces on the scene

The notion of death shrouded the hearts of the people of the caravan They understood that even the armed forces suffered at the hands of the creatures so they couldn't iine ould happen to them if they encountered the same species Most of them looked towards Zero as probably he was the only one who could escape the claws of the creatures

Campbell ordered the caravan to continue to move forward He felt that he would feel secure after they entered the Phoenix colony

The wrecks of armored cars and corpses of soldiers were all over the road

Zero observed the situation The latest corpse of a soldier they found was at least about 200 kilometers away from the Phoenix It was clear to hih to knohere to attack

…

Phoenix was a fortress city built behind a dam The man-made dam from the old era was used as a defense barrier to protect the city from the various creatures Moreover, Phoenix colony had about four surface-to-air h-speed heavy artillery It was reasonable for the city to have such firepower because of its proxie

A huge coat of arraved at the entrance of the city Campbell told him that the former officers and citizens of the Merlin city were the ones who built Phoenix out of nothing They hoped that this newly established fortress city would be like Phoenix who birthed out of ashes It was the origin of the colony's name
