Wasteland Echoer

A few minutes later, the mechanical chariot stopped next to another burning mechanical chariot.

Looking up, Duck discovered that it was a high-mobility vehicle used by the Federation to transport soldiers, named "Swiss Eagle". In recent times, due to the need to transport troops in the "Man-made Lake" campaign, it has been widely used in this area.

However, the car that stood in front of Dak and Wulfya...except for the shadow of a mechanical chariot with a slight outline on the outside, there was almost only an empty shell left inside, and there were many other things that could be seen through the flames. Burnt black, melting material.

"Is it an accident? Or was it attacked?" Wofya took out a rocket launcher from the trunk, put it on his shoulder and walked forward cautiously.

Just when the two of them were less than three meters away from the "Swiss Eagle" brand mechanical chariot, another small explosion erupted from the center of the flames. A small mushroom cloud rushed into the air, emitting countless scalding sparks outwards, hitting the flames. Red dots were left on the exposed skin of Dak and Wulfya.

Taking another two steps forward, Duck discovered that the mechanical chariot seemed to be stuck on a row of iron guardrails that had been abandoned for a long time. The explosion and collision sounds just now seemed to be the result of the vehicle losing control and hitting it.

When he looked inside again, Dak seemed to hear a slight cry for help.

"Save me...save...save me..."

The sound was very hoarse and low, mixed with the crackling and crackling sounds of burning flames. It looked very distorted and terrifying. What was even more uncomfortable was that there seemed to be something really squirming inside, sticking out a charred, as if... The thing in his arm was beating outwards against the broken glass, trying to crawl out.

After a brief thought, Dak began to recite the incantation for spirit formation. Almost at the same second, a ring with dark purple light of chaos suddenly appeared on his right hand. The violent ice ballast and blizzard came from the narrow passage. Spewing out into the mechanical chariot.

After a few seconds, the powerful ice and snow completely neutralized the energy brought by the flames, turning into a dark, sticky water stain that flowed outward along the chassis of the mechanical chariot.

Seeing that the flames were extinguished, Wulfya handed the rocket launcher to Dak, broke it open with his bare hands, pulled out the guardrail inserted into the car, and threw it aside.

After slamming the car door a few more times with his fist, Wulfya actually smashed a hole in the car door almost as wide as his chest, and pulled out the humanoid creature that had been burned all over.

Dak standing aside was obviously shocked and speechless by Wulfya's power. Although he was lucky enough to witness his power a few times in Icerim Province, Dak would still be amazed by this kind of violent aesthetics. The powerful power actually comes from a pure human body.

It was at the same second that the humanoid creature was taken out that the mechanical chariot finally failed due to fire and violent "dismantling" and fell apart.

Keeping the magic power in his body in a full state, Dak walked forward and came to the side of the humanoid creature. He squatted down, looked at the tattered clothes, and said:

"This is the uniform of the escort, Wofya. The clothes of normal Federation [soldiers], as long as they are on the front line, are yellow or military green. Only the people in Magic City are equipped with some for concealment in the snow." white clothing.

"But it...his clothes are silver-white, and he also has a...'Mayang City Hero Medal' on his chest. I remember that when I was in the escort two years ago, I had meritorious service for resisting the 'Wideless Wave'. , one was awarded to each of our members.”

"The people from the escort team... were transferred to the 'Man-made Lake' war zone? Or they came back from the direction of the fog. Is it possible that the Federal Council sent multiple teams north to investigate the 'Hongdang'? This is not reliable." Wofya lowered his head. Looking at the "guards member" who was slowly squirming, he analyzed:

"As far as I know, most of Vasily's troops are now contained in the Ice Forest Province, the South Karlov District and the Konig Province, and are used for a long tug-of-war with the 'unintentional people'. The force heading north was originally It’s limited, plus the team that has already been sent by Adaroni and Fu Bing, Vasily… he still wants to send other expedition teams, which is really incredible.”

"I think either Vasily no longer trusts the previous expedition, or there are new monsters in the thick fog that must be eliminated by superpowers. Those who escaped and went crazy may not be talking about it. It's not crazy, I estimate that it is either a sequential monster, or...a creature contaminated by the power of the ancient gods..." Dak analyzed.

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a rapid and violent cough from the "guards member".

Turning his head to look, he saw the "guard member"'s body shaking continuously, and his limbs twitching violently several times.

Then, a foul-smelling thick juice that smelled like dead fish flowed out from his whole body. After the juice drained out, there was an unpleasant asphalt-like viscous liquid.

A few seconds later, accompanied by a gurgling sound in the throat, the clothes attached to the "Guard Members" began to emit faint blue flames. Except for the "Mayan City Hero Medal" that fell to the ground, the rest of it melted. It becomes a pool of black coke and floats upward.

The originally charred skin of the "guards member" quickly formed a thick layer of armor-like scabs, covering him completely like a cicada pupa.

"Is it a superpower?" Dak asked curiously.

"Maybe so." Wulfya nodded and said:

"I heard from 'Lei Ye' that there is a type of superpower who has mastered a magic that can reconstruct the body structure when he is on the verge of death. This type of superpower usually does not get infected with the 'Wuxinren Virus'. Their power always comes from the magic power genes passed down in the blood of their ancestors, as well as good magic power training tutorials.

"It is said that Ivan 22, the [Order], also learned this power, but later the official said that he died of natural causes and never used it. Of course, maybe, you killed him during the 'Brushing Ruins' He had already used this ability before Ivan 22 died."

"By the way, Wulfya, I think this man is imitating a pupa. In other words, after a while, he will be able to break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly and achieve rebirth?" Dak looked at the dark "chrysalis" curiously.

While he was talking, the "chrysalis" covered in pitch black color began to tremble incessantly, as if a ferocious beast was restrained inside, and it was making a dull and ferocious roar, which was terrifying.

These sounds do not seem to belong to the human throat, or in other words, human vocal cords do not support the production of such terrifying sounds that have no connection with the species.

Fortunately, after a few minutes, the "chrysalis" finally broke open, revealing a bare head.

"Hey!…………"

There was a long scream coming from the head, just like the hysterical cry of the injured demon soul. If Dak and Wofya were not Federation [soldiers] who often deal with various monsters in the wasteland world, they would definitely be killed. This cry that does not belong to this world or species absorbs the soul, and in the nightmare of the dark night, it suffers soul torture.

After covering their ears and barely listening to these noisy sounds, Dak and Wulfya discovered that this "chrysalis" only revealed the head of a middle-aged male with distinctive Crusted facial features, and the rest of the body, Although he kept struggling, trying to break out of the shell, no matter how hard he tried, it was all in vain.

After fluttering for a few times, the "chrysalis" stopped moving, and the eyes belonging to the head slowly opened.

Seeing Wulfya and Dak in front of them, the head belonging to the "guards member" actually made a weak voice and warned urgently:

"Stay away...away from...the thick fog, there is a...a...creature that you cannot imagine...imagine."

"Don't worry, brother." Wulfya quickly squatted down and comforted:

"First tell us who you are. This is the former Mamo Constantine Village. There is no danger anymore. If you are willing, we can ask someone to send you to the 'Man-made Lake' camp for treatment first."

"No... there is no need for this." The "Guard Team Member" took a few deep breaths, seemed to have regained some strength, and replied slightly smoothly:

"We 'shapeshifters' are all... all magicians cursed by Satan and the Lord of the Night. Once infected by the 'Heartless Man' virus dropped by the Creator, there is only one outcome: death.

"The Federation's 'No. 0' potion is ineffective against us. This 'Chrysalis'... seems to have failed. It did not help me regenerate, but only delayed my death and madness. It is estimated that there are still a few hours, My heart will be filled with burning fluid and become a complete mechanical existence."

"Is there no way to reverse it? It's just the early stages of the infection, right?" Dak wondered, looking at the "guards members" who seemed to be very conscious, and asked curiously.

"No, there is no other way." The "Guard Team Member" shook his head with difficulty and said:

"My name is Ogorji Tarevnov. Although our family members have been running the manor for generations, they have always studied the power of magic as 'shapeshifters'. This kind of alien who uses butterfly thinking to make 'chrysalis' to be reborn." Yes, this is my last resort.

"The flames just now have completely destroyed my internal organs. The... monster in the mist injected the 'Wuxin Man Virus' into my body, making my mutation irreversible. In addition, my thinking has been completely eroded. I I can only wait here quietly for death to come.

"By the way, judging from your equipment and behavior, you should also be sent by Master Vasily to investigate the thick fog and 'Plamini', right?"

"Well, that's right, we plan to enter the thick fog tomorrow." Duck admitted.

"Leave here... don't, don't go in. The 'alien monster' inside is blessed by the dual power of the ancient gods and the Lord of the Night. Go in now, your body will become its dinner, and your soul will be extracted by it. , eternal servitude under boundless darkness.”
