”What's your name?” Avenot looked at nothing. His voice was calm, but there was no room for doubt.
He told her his name. ”Alright, I'll remember you.”
In Avenot's list, of course, there was a zero. But the name was only a mark, and Avenot did not know every member of the Doomhammer. But now it was different, he did remember zero. Because Zero was right, the lean living corpses were like moving biological bombs. After sending the materials back to Asgard, the answer given by Lafite, the most senior biology doctor in the Heroic Spirit Hall, was basically the same as zero.
The difference is that zero's guess is based on intuition, while Professor Rafiel is looking at data.
Avenot's words immediately made Zero feel nervous. Dozens of gazes immediately fell on him. There was praise, anger, and most of the others were envious. In the end, whether it was Asgard or the entire world, it didn't matter. There was a competitive relationship between humans and beasts. From individual to individual, to the entire world, the competition of the new era was everywhere.
As the most elite of the five legions, the relationship between Doomhammer and his men was very intense. As a result, eight out of ten of the gazes that Zero received were filled with hostility.
If a soldier performed well in the war, the chances of promotion were very high. How to let the officer know that he was doing well was a very technical question, and it was certainly the best way to get Aveno to call him by name. Although Hookchev should have impressed the commander as well, a dead man was nothing to mention.
However, with his indifferent personality, he ignored the stares of the crowd.
On the podium, Avenk continued, ”As Zero said, this new type of corpse is like a biological bomb. Their attacks were simple but crude. Their explosion was equivalent to the might of a high-energy grenade. Gentlemen, a high-energy grenade can release an energy shock of 3000 joules. Unless the defense is at least at the seventh step, otherwise, if the heart explodes, anyone will be smashed into pieces. And the terrifying thing about these new type of corpses is that once you get caught by them, congratulations, you're already at the center of the explosion. ”
Avignon's words made everyone's hearts sink. It could be said that even if a member of the Hammer of Destruction faced a high-energy grenade, as long as his heart did not explode, he could use all sorts of methods to protect himself. However, if he was hit directly in the heart, the result would be the same as Wukchev, becoming a pile of minced meat.
”This new type of living corpse is very dangerous, they are almost a one-time war weapon. However, with them, the living corpses would be able to make some breakthroughs. Looking at them, I'm almost sure they're for people like us. ” Avenot's face was grim as well. No matter how one looked at it, a high-mobility biological bomb would never be pleasant.
”If this was in the old era, it would probably have taken tens of thousands of years or even longer to evolve. However, in this damned era, I wouldn't be surprised if a monster that looks like a floating fortress appeared. But from the looks of this attack, they are not the same as before, where they instinctively attacked the humans. As you can see, they did not just attack the humans, these filthy things even transformed the corpses of the citizens of Lemour, making it so that the poor people would not be able to rest in peace. This is simply unforgivable! ” Avenot paused to calm his agitated emotions before continuing, ”The generals of Asgard and I agree that there must be a wisdom behind all of this.”
”Is it the monarch?” an officer of the mixed unit asked, raising his hand.
”I'm afraid it's not that simple.” Avenot frowned and said, ”As we all know, from time to time, special existences such as the butcher, that can command living corpses, will be born in the group of living corpses. We call it a monarch, but a monarch does not possess high intelligence. It was like a king among a group of wild beasts, only naturally able to control and direct other similar operations. Of course, we cannot deny that the monarch has a certain intelligence, but I would like to emphasize that intelligence is not the same as intelligence. Mutant beasts also have a certain level of intelligence, but you wouldn't say they have that, would you? ”
”In other words, what we are facing is not the corpses outside, but something else.” The one who spoke was a member of the Hammer of Destruction. He suddenly thought of something and gasped, ”Heavens, could it be a new alien race?”
”Yes, Professor Rafiel said the same thing.” Avenot said in a deep voice, ”In the western part of Asgard, I don't need to go into detail about the number of strange and intelligent races that have been born in the land behind the tundra. Professor Rafiel meant that this evolution should have extended from the depths of the mainland to the vicinity of the coastline. We don't know where this evolution came from, but it did. And now is not the time to dwell on how it happened. What we have to do is to find the wisdom in the living corpse. Bring it back, or. Destroy it! ”
There were so many mutated creatures in the world, but speaking of the number of living corpses, even if this huge race wasn't number one, it was more than enough to make it into the top ten. If intelligent life was born from a large number of similar species, it would definitely be a disaster for humans. In the face of such a huge race, there was no possibility for humans to coexist with them.
Therefore, when intelligent life appeared in the living corpse with a high probability, Asgard Headquarters' conclusion was that it was more likely to be destroyed. Using the most berserk methods to kill off this kind of intelligent life form was the safest method. Bringing back the specimen was only a method allowed under the circumstances.
Next, Avenot brought up the map. This map encompasses all corners of the city, including the old era's metropolis, Kadam. On the map, red lines marked the route of the living corpses. The end of the line pointed directly at Remus, but the source of the line was lost in the ruins to the southwest of Remus.
Pointing at the route map, Avenot said, ”Gentlemen, I need some of you to figure out where the living corpses came from and where the intelligent beings are located. When necessary, you don't need to report and directly kill the intelligent lifeforms. We must swiftly resolve this crisis in a thunderous manner. Listen, this isn't just a crisis for Remus. It's very likely to be a crisis for all mankind. Therefore, this operation, I shall pass on to you the code name of 'Thunder'. ”
Following which, Avignon selected the captains of several squads. They were the suggestive Agatha, Zero, and the other capable Berrion. Beryl was an Elementalist, and her profession was the ”Thunder Hand”. She was a person with a tendency to attack and destroy.
It was not an exaggeration to say that a Berrion was equivalent to a moving fortress.
The combination of these three teams could be said to be a small war group. He had Agatha's ability to explore, a long-range sniper that was zero, and a firepower user like Beryl. It could be said that this was a golden combination.
In addition to the support provided by the other members of his team, these three teams were the most suitable candidates for this ”Thunderclap” mission.
The team that was called out could leave the meeting room first and they would have half an hour to repair themselves and inspect their equipment. The mission will begin in half an hour. Avenot would have the ground troops divert the attention of the living corpses, allowing them to slip away quietly. In order not to attract the attention of the living corpses, the SUV was no longer usable, so they had to use their own feet to travel a long distance.
With regards to this, the members of the three squads naturally had no objections. After they left, the meeting continued. But the next item on the agenda was how to stall the zombies to the greatest extent before the crisis broke out. Of course, passively defending was not advisable, but the restriction of military strength did not meet the condition of forceful attack. In the end, the only thing that was left to decide was guerrilla warfare.
The details of the entire strategy were decided upon during Avenot's discussions with the various officers. At the same time, Zero and the others were checking the equipment on their SUVs. In addition to their equipment, they also needed to bring food and water. However, the space for carrying equipment was limited, and ammunition took up most of the space, so there wasn't much space left for food.
In addition to the nutrients, they also prepared a water coagulant in the carrying device. Condensate is a kind of concentrated gel for clean water, a drop of which contains the amount of water a normal person needs in a day. Apart from the taste, there were all sorts of minerals in the water. However, this newly developed water had a certain amount of poison. Ordinary people would die if they took two drops of it, but for Adepts it wasn't enough to kill them. As a result, water coagulants could only be used in the army, and even so, a single water coagulant was still very expensive. If they did not carry out this special task, they would not have been able to obtain this latest technology.
However, the supply of nutrients was not limited, and since Su and Feng, the two cold weapon users, didn't need to store much ammunition in their equipment, the space they left was filled with nutrients. Who knew how many days this mission would take? It was always good to be prepared.
Looking at his travel equipment filled with goods, Zero suddenly felt a sense of happiness. He recalled the two years when he had just woken up. In the Z7 base, where supplies were extremely scarce, even eating a piece of fresh bread was an extremely luxurious thing. But now, not only were there sufficient ammunition and ingredients, there was also nutrients which were not tasty but could at least fill his stomach.
