Chapter 42 Cleaner

  There was a large seat welded to the last row of the roof, which Xu Yi had reserved for the Undead Demolitionist Mug Plaguebringer. This Orog, who was also three meters tall, had strong immunity to long-range attacks, and sitting at the back was a two-meter-wide, three-meter-high shield that could resist all long-range attacks from the rear.

  Apart from a circle of iron fences, there was no obstruction to the view on the roof, providing a better field of vision for the flesh-and-blood thugs to shoot.

  Now there is only one last problem, identification of the direction. This biological fog, which has spread to who knows how far, covers the sky and blocks out the sun, making it a big problem to determine the direction.

  Xu Yi, who only brought a compass, still felt that it was not safe enough, so he added another layer of defense.

  At the entrance of the fog, Hoshgris and several flesh-and-blood thugs hammered a metal stake into the barren wasteland. A thin copper wire was wrapped around it, and at the other end was a large bundle of coiled copper wire placed on a truck.

  Every kilometer the truck travels, the thin copper wire will spread one kilometer. And every kilometer, he will drive a metal stake, wrap the previous section of copper wire around it, and replace it with a new copper wire.

  By analogy, no matter where the truck goes, it can follow the copper wire to find its way out. Even if the copper wire is broken by something, it only needs to search around to find the next metal stake and then find the direction again.

  The dark shadow stood outside the fog, and Hoshgris drove the truck carrying the swollen colossus one kilometer into the test. After driving the metal stakes, the truck drove back smoothly along the copper wire.

  After changing the frequency of driving a metal stake every 1 kilometer to one every 500 meters, Xu Yi was ready to set off. The area in the truck compartment other than the black statue was filled with gasoline, canned meat, metal stakes, copper wire and some sundries.

  Moog sat at the end of the truck's roof, followed by Jay and the Undead Sharpshooter Sisu, then Dark Shadow, Ector and seventeen flesh thugs equipped with M249 light machine guns and M500 revolvers, and in the front was the mage flesh puppet with the highest perception and wearing a thermal observer.

  The nineteen flesh and blood thugs and the mage's flesh and blood puppets all put on the chemical protective suits they won in the lottery. The Blood Machinery Clan, who already had a strong resistance to the biochemical fog, were completely isolated from its influence under the chemical protective suits.

  The three undead spirits and the dark shadow are both cold and fearless. The former can be regarded as zombies, while the latter is an elemental body. However, this biochemical mist seems to be only effective against living things.

  Everything was ready, and Hoshgris drove the truck into the fog...

  As a ghost, his memories of his life have become vague, but his personality has not changed. Perhaps the living environment in the past four years is much better than the vague past. At least he drives very steadily and is no longer so paranoid.

  …

  After driving two kilometers, Hoshgris had already driven in four metal stakes and replaced the connecting copper wire four times. The compass had begun to tremble slightly. As expected, the thick fog contained substances that interfered with the magnetic field.

  Not far after driving, the truck came under attack for the first time. A white creature the size of a striped hyena leaped up from a huge mouth that occupied half of its head. It instantly crossed a height of two or three meters and bit a flesh-and-blood thug with its huge mouth.

  Two gunshots were heard, and the unknown creature that had already been detected by thermal imaging was almost turned over by two bullets with huge kinetic energy, and fell helplessly on the roof of the car.

  Without hesitation, Xu Yi controlled the dark shadow and launched the detection technique!

  [Gray spotted rabbit (parasitized)]

  [Attributes] Strength 1.2, Agility 2.1, Constitution 1.1, Intelligence 0.3, Perception 1.2, Charisma 0.8

  [Expertise] Jump Enhancement lv2, Passive Perception lv1

  This creature, which is about the same size as a striped hyena, is actually the most common gray rabbit in the wasteland. Xu Yi was a little surprised, but he didn't show it on his face. Although the Dark Shadow looked panicked, no one seemed to notice.

  Just because it was parasitized, its agility attribute broke through the extraordinary level and became a quasi-second-level creature. He knew the original attributes of the gray-spotted rabbit. Except for agility, it was not comparable to ordinary people. Now it even had a unique specialty such as jump enhancement.

  At this time, a faint shouting sounded from the front, and at the signal of Xu Yi's dark shadow, the truck also drove towards the source of the sound.

  After only driving for more than 100 meters, a scene of a human-wolf confrontation appeared in front of the crowd. Two humans with grayish-white skin, wearing masks and holding wooden spears, and five hairless, snow-white giant wolves? The number of sharp teeth in the wolf's mouth was a bit too much.

  Detection! This biochemical fog was full of weirdness, so Xu Yi was no longer stingy with the use of detection.

  [Striped hyena (parasitized)]

  [Attributes] Strength 2.1, Agility 2.4, Constitution 1.6, Intelligence 0.5, Perception 1.0, Charisma 0.7

  [Expertise] Speed ​​enhancement lv2, bite enhancement lv2, passive perception lv3

  . It's the same again. It's originally a hyena, but in this parasitic state, has its physique, attributes, and expertise all been enhanced?

  So, what about these humans? Xu Yi cast a detection spell on the one of the two who had gray hair and looked older.

  [Infected]

  [Attributes] Strength 1.5, Agility 1.3, Constitution 1.7, Intelligence 1.0, Perception 1.3, Charisma 0.9

  [Expertise] Robustness lv2, Craftsmanship lv2, Precision lv3, Frontal Defense lv3, Spear Mastery lv3

  Compared to ordinary people, his comprehensive attributes are abnormally high, and the first three expertises look familiar. Are they the common expertise of the humans in this area?

  The doubts did not decrease, and Xu Yi chose to help the only party on the scene who seemed to be able to communicate.

  A sharp long cry was accompanied by a dull sound like a stapler, and the two parasitized striped hyenas fell to the ground. Different from the panic brought by the sharp long cry of the Sharpshooter's Epic Sniper, the low stapler-like sound of bullets fired by the Wild Kiss brought people an ultimate auditory enjoyment.

  Immediately afterwards, a series of "bang bang bang" gunshots rang out. Even though the remaining three striped hyenas dodged, they fell into the coverage of the revolver's bullets. After struggling for a few times, they fell to the ground.

  The two masks turned slightly towards here, then put away their defensive posture and walked towards the five fallen hyena corpses.

  Only then did Xu Yi and the others see clearly that the wooden mask was tall and wide, like a very thick inverted T, with various colored oil paint stripes of unknown meaning painted on it.

  The Pitch-Dark Shadow sat still. For such a small matter as the initial negotiation, Xu Yi didn't need to control the incarnation of the god to show up in person. Besides, the Pitch-Dark Shadow, who didn't even have a face, must not be very attractive in the eyes of others. He didn't even have a charm bonus for negotiations.

  Jay jumped down from the roof of the car. His extraordinary charm seemed to be starting to work!

  The two large masks turned slightly: "Outsider, you shouldn't stop us from killing the spies of the cleaners."

  Jay: "…"
