Ride and Cut

Starting from Alpine Fort, heading east across the vast wilderness of three hundred miles, they declared that they had entered the territory of the former Stuart. There used to be a sprinkling of small towns here and there, thriving on the vibrancy of frontier trade.

But now, after a series of turmoil. The town has long been deserted, with rotten bones and dilapidated houses everywhere, and only a few residents are still here to survive.

They will warn every passerby in an appalling tone not to go any further.

If you don't listen to the advice and continue to march for more than two hundred miles, you will encounter a dividing line that is more eye-catching than the national border.

Even though it was already spring, nothing related to vitality sprouted there at all. The dry tree trunks twisted into strange shapes, the weeds on the ground had already decayed and turned black, even the sky seemed to be gray, and there was a cold and damp smell everywhere.

This is the dividing line between life and death, one step back is life, one step is death. And the team of Gaoshanbao not only entered the kingdom of death, but also advanced in it for five full days.

This piece of hell in the eyes of outsiders is nothing to them at all.

"Here comes another skeleton." The lord returned to his old profession and rode a hoverbike, and carried Elizabeth along the way.

With golden toad sunglasses on the bridge of the nose, oiled hair combed meticulously, and a wilting rose in his mouth, he was a hundred times more chic than the most fashionable vagabond in Friedrich City.

Opening his mouth to spit out the rose, he turned his head and said to the back: "Sit down and get ready to take off."

Elizabeth, who was severely afraid of heights, hugged his waist tightly, and did not let go until the flight reached the forty blade height and began to stabilize again—after testing, this distance was enough to make the skeleton unaware.

Since entering this polluted land, although I have never seen a large-scale army of undead, the scattered low-level goods have never been out of stock.

Li Cha vaguely felt that this should be an early warning system - the undead are very sensitive to the breath of the living, if a living person approaches, they will definitely be found.

Once a conflict occurs, whether it is killing the undead or being killed by the undead, it may cause a series of chain reactions.

In fact, not only the ground, but also sporadic skeleton bats and zombie birds in the air. Even if Li Cha brought Elizabeth himself, he could dodge with excellent flexibility. If a big guy like Fengshen pterosaur would definitely be found.

Even Higuain's aerial reconnaissance before did not startle the snake because the dragon's height in the air was far higher than those crappy things.

It has to be said that it is almost impossible for this early warning system to fail, especially for a large-scale army.

But for the marching Ripper Thousands, this kind of trouble didn't exist at all—they relaxed like a spring outing, carelessly passing by the skeleton, and someone even tripped over it.

The skeleton, which staggered and stood up again, seemed to be unconscious, and continued to move slowly in the original direction, without even looking at the Alpine Fort warrior who was close at hand.

Except for the lord and Elizabeth, the whole team needs to avoid the undead, and everyone else can ignore it directly.

"Half-dead transformation is really amazing." Even though he has seen it many times, Li Cha still couldn't help feeling a few words.

Surely no one would believe that they could sneak in like this without worrying about being discovered.

Li Cha also came up with this idea when he saw with his own eyes that Zhi An Yuan Guang and his group were able to hide in the army of undead as if nothing had happened. A small test, the effect is simply not too good.

"How far is it?" Elizabeth had had enough of flying, and was eager to step on the ground again to gain a sense of security, so she couldn't help asking.

"Let me take a look..." Li Cha took out the map and compared it with his hand.

"We can arrive at noon today." The hoverbike landed slowly on the ground, and the lord snapped his fingers, "Contact Higuain and lead the air cavalry to prepare for the attack."

Now let the air cavalry take off from the border of the dead soil, almost in time to launch a simultaneous attack with the ground troops, and fight a blitzkrieg that catches people off guard.

"Besides, hurry up and replenish your energy." Li Cha began to dig out the stocks from the interspatial ring, which were shredded, stripped, and diced sand spider jerky. There were various patterns.

Have to admit, regardless of the source of the momentary loss of appetite. This kind of storage-resistant, ready-to-eat, salt supplement, rich in calories and nutrients, and not too bad taste, is undoubtedly a top-level military ration.

Before entering this land, the issue of food was considered as the top priority. Limited by the storage space of only eight cubic rings, it is not unreasonable to finally choose the dried sand spider meat instead of other bells and whistles.

As for the drinking water, it is relatively easy to solve - although the local water source is somewhat contaminated by undead, but you must know that there are more than a hundred entry-level priests of the Holy Light in this small army of 1,000 people.

With such a luxurious configuration, if it is a problem to remove the semi-dead state occasionally to deal with the water source, you can simply go home and hang yourself.

"Ah." There was wailing all over the place, and the team reluctantly and unwillingly lined up to receive the meal.

"This is so delicious, I think you are used to it." Carlos chewed hard, and the people around him rolled their eyes.

After eating without changing patterns for five days, Xiao Ka, who came from a poor background, can still not get tired of crooked.

"That's because you haven't seen a sand spider." Hurt swallowed viciously, and quickly swallowed it with a mouthful of water.

It is best not to eat too much before the war, and a meal of unappetizing military rations can be regarded as wrong.

After a short break, the team started to move on. Everything I have witnessed in the past five days - gray soil, rotting crops, wandering undead, twisted dead trees. Looking up, the sun was only a blurred spot in the sky.

The environment is so bad that not even rats can survive, enough to be sincerely disgusted by any normal person.

And everything can be traced back to one place——

Allen used to be just a non-famous agricultural town. The only specialty was pumpkins, which few people knew except for local farmers and grain merchants. But since becoming the birthplace of the undead, the name "Alan" has spread across the continent like wildfire, and even the most innocent children will be moved by it.

Regarding this disaster that made the whole continent feel inexplicable, if there is a place where all the truth can be found out, then it must be Allen.

Fifteen miles ahead, already in sight.

Li Cha closed his eyes, feeling the twisted and powerful undead magic. The once mediocre town is now as unfathomable as a hell where demons gather.

"I'm curious, I'm really curious. Beruni, Beruni, why on earth are you doing this." He opened his eyes, expressionless.
