Chapter 98

He looked at the corpse in front of him.

This was a young soldier. The young look under the helmet and the freckles on his face showed that this soldier was not older than twenty years old.

But this young life had vanished into the wilderness.

His neck was almost bitten off, and the torn muscle fibers extended to his chest. His head and body were at an odd angle of nearly ninety degrees, and there were spines of white vertebrae protruding from the lacerated surface of his neck, exposed to the air.

On the soldier's body, there were huge and deep marks. It was a scar created by a sharp object, and on the wound, was a huge claw.

Zero ran his hand over the soldier's body and found that his shoulder blades and sternum were broken and almost shattered.

This is caused by a shock of blunt force, and most of the muscle fibers in the body show signs of pulling and cracking.

Thus, in Zero's mind, an animation model of a wolf biting the corpse's neck and then swinging it back and forth before smashing it onto the ground was formed.

Wolves are animals that enjoy food for convenience.

While opening a prey's neck with sharp fangs, the muscles in the neck sway to move the prey, smashing it to the ground and using the impact force to tear apart the prey's body.

And not only wolves, but other species such as crocodiles use the same method of attack.

Under these circumstances, Zero immediately thought of the Corpse Wolf.

However, whether it was the corpses or the claw marks on the armored vehicles, or the footprints on the ground that were close to a meter away, it showed that the forces attacking Phoenix City were not mutated creatures such as the Corpse Wolves.

Neither the form nor the strength of the wolves were able to make the killing marks left on the scene.

At the very least, there were armoured vehicles holding down the army. Zero had never heard of any Zombie Wolves that could kill them all.

The shadow of death loomed over everyone in the caravan, and even the fully armed army was met with misfortune. They could not imagine how many people in the caravan could survive if they encountered such an unknown creature.

When they think about it, they think about zero.

Probably only this expert sniper would be able to escape.

The pale Camber let the caravan move forward. Only by entering Phoenix City would the merchants feel safe.

In the course of the following journey, wreckage of tanks and soldiers like this appeared one after another on the caravan's path.

The corpses that had their stomachs almost cut open gave Kampa a fright. It wasn't until Phoenix City saw them that these corpses completely disappeared.

Zero silently calculated and came to the conclusion that the nearest corpse was less than 200 kilometers away from Phoenix City.

After arriving at Phoenix City, Zero knew that the creatures attacking the army were very smart.

Phoenix City was actually a stronghold built from a dam.

In the past, the towering dam had become an artificial barrier to defend against all kinds of wild and dangerous creatures' attacks. Other than the high firing rate cannons set at multiple fire points, Phoenix City even had four ground-to-air missile defense systems.

However, it was reasonable to assume that the city was close to the Death God's Ridge.

At the entrance of the city, there was a huge phoenix emblem.

Camber told him that the city had been built entirely out of nothing, by former officers and citizens of Morin.

The reason why they built this stronghold was precisely because they hoped that this city could be reborn like a phoenix, and this was also the origin of the name of Phoenix City.

After a series of complex security checks and determining the origins of the caravan, the city developed for Cumberg and company.

After the heavy locomotive passed through the alloy gate that had been reconstructed on the basis of the dam, it arrived at a surface city that was like the city of Angry Reef.

It was naturally surrounded by highways facing the dam and the continuous mountains beyond, but in Phoenix it was a straight, neat street and a planned city of identical buildings, unlike the style of the old urban buildings of Anchor.

Phoenix City exuded a strict and precise urban style, which reminded Zero of the army.

In fact, there were many chariots and soldiers moving through the city, but the townspeople seemed to have gotten used to it.

Even in a city, zero was a barrier.

These checkpoints had only been set up for a short period of time, and neither the equipment nor the staff were in good position, giving off a feeling of being in a hurry to set them up.

There were many wounded soldiers at the checkpoint, and even a truck full of wounded soldiers. It added a sense of gloom to the city.

Cumberg could clearly feel that the atmosphere in the city was not right. Although Phoenix City was a stronghold city, it was still a daily management system for the city through military methods.

However, Phoenix City seemed a little nervous today, as if it was defending against something's attack.

Most of the people on the street were tanks and soldiers patrolling the area. The citizens seemed to have been left in their houses.

It was rare to see one or two, but they were all rushing over.

As he passed the third checkpoint, a rough voice said, "Isn't this Camber?"

"I haven't seen you for almost half a year. I thought you were dead."

A middle-aged officer came out of the checkpoint, his short, inch-long hair giving the officer some energy.

But his eyes and his movements were indeed tired. When the officer reached the SUV, Camber jumped down and nodded. "Long time no see, Officer George," he said.

"You're still so spirited."

"Bullsh * t, your eyes are blind. If you didn't, your father would be as tired as a dog, how could you still be so full of spirit."

The officer responded rudely, and Camber's flattery hit the horse on the leg.

"Maybe I'm a bit tired and didn't come out. Don't mind me."

He asked, "What's going on in this town, Officer George?"

To tell you the truth, we arrived at your army on our way here.

But I was terrified that the living creatures had become corpses.

I'm a businessman, you know, and I'm not very brave.

George looked at Cumberg with disdain and said, "Don't worry, those damn Finlay wolves can't even touch a hair of your head in the city."

"Unless you find it a waste to run off into the wilderness on your own, I'm sorry. Phoenix City's army isn't so extravagant that they can send out an army to protect you, Sir Kampf."

At the mention of the word "Finlay," Cumbersome flesh quivered vigorously, and the merchant cried out, "How is it possible that creatures like Finlay, who do not live in the frosty forests of the north, have come to Phoenix?"

"You're asking me, but who should I ask?"

George rolled his eyes as a closing line between him and the businessman.

George motioned to the soldiers at the checkpoint to let the caravan pass.

When he heard the news about Finlay, however, Camber sat in the SUV, as if his spirit had gone out of him.

Zero had also recorded this kind of monster wolf in Ben's Monster's notes. In addition to its huge body, which gathered strength and agility, Finley was also born with the ability to use ice elements.

Thus, they were also called demon wolves, which meant magic wolf.

According to the mainland's general risk assessment, Finlay was identified as a Level 3 dangerous monster.

Level three was the equivalent of a butcher's assessment of danger, but even though there was only one butcher among the thousands of living corpses, Finlay was still operating in droves.

Just think about it, if there were tens of butchers attacking at the same time, the hundred men army of Phoenix City would be destroyed without any suspense, and that wouldn't be so unfathomable.
