Wasteland Echoer

No one answered Wovya in the dark environment.

However, after the sudden sound of wind, the dozens of oil lamps on the church floor collectively emitted a bright and "stable" flame that was constantly swaying.

"Daniel?" Wulfya continued to call.

But Ke Ke stopped him.

"He should be Daniel, but now, he is either in a state of being 'seduced' and 'charmed' and unable to control himself, or is controlled by a monster. Here... there is a strong sour smell belonging to the monster." Ke analyzed, staring at the figure in front of him who seemed to be Daniel with vigilant eyes.

Seeing that the surrounding oil lamps seemed to be brighter, Dak pulled Wofya back a few steps, almost reaching a relatively safe position away from Daniel's figure, and continued to analyze:

"There are traces of fighting on the ground, there, and there. Among the three of us, only Daniel has the habit of wearing a mask. Moreover, the 'collaborators' sent by the strategic group to various places will have a Federal Council-issued The badge is made of silver and is very dazzling. It occasionally glows silver in the dark. I think that under normal circumstances, the 'collaborators' will not throw it away casually. "

"That's true. These people regard the 'Collaborator Badge' as the highest honor and proof of their identity." Wulfya nodded.

"But look, the shiny object under the steps of the small altar is the 'Collaborator Badge', with the words 'Victory Belongs to Crusted' engraved on it." Duck pointed in the direction of the small altar. , said.

"Your... eyes are so good, Dak." Wulfya looked at Dak in disbelief, with a hint of embarrassment in her tone of voice, "Now, we need to wake up Daniel. Or fight against the monster controlling him behind his back?" Wulfya hesitated and looked at the gradually brightening figure in front of him.

"I feel like you don't need it." Dak pointed to the oil lamp on the ground and said:

"If there is a monster here, then it should be in a semi-dormant state before we came in. And now, the lighting of these oil lamps marks the beginning of the monster's awakening. Wovya, I still remember when we were in the Mayan City Guards A book about monsters that I have read.”

"What book? Don't be pretentious, Dak, just tell me what you want to say." Wofya looked a little impatient.

He could feel that there was a shuddering and frightening power near Daniel's body. With his many years of combat experience, Wulfya could naturally feel the danger, so he did not approach rashly for the time being.

But this does not mean that he wants to abandon Daniel. He still needs to take Daniel out of this dangerous church and complete the adventure.

"A Brief Description of the Characteristics of Sequential Monsters" published by Antonsky of Mayan City Institute of Strategic Studies, mentioned in it: As the magic source power, a power formed, obtained and used from nature, is gradually depleted, the monsters' ability to obtain energy is gradually depleted. If one major avenue is cut off, we can only rely on unconventional forces such as the 'Wuxin Man Virus' to maintain its existence," Duck recited.

"What happens next?" Wulfya asked eagerly.

"Therefore, it is difficult for monsters to stay awake or active all the time. They need to sleep when the magic source is weak to conserve energy. However, the human body seems to have substances or energy that monsters like. Whenever humans break into the monsters, When entering the territory, both the monsters in the ranking and those not in the ranking will wake up immediately, and most of them will choose to become enemies of humans." Dark continued to recite:

"At this time, it is best for humans not to choose to get close to the monsters. Instead, they need to wait for them to wake up. After seeing the type of monsters clearly, they can choose an appropriate response method."

"That is to say..."

"Just wait." Dak looked forward and said:

"Wovya, look, Daniel, he's starting to move."

As soon as Duck finished speaking, there was an uncomfortable sound of metal friction coming from where Daniel was.

Immediately afterwards, Daniel's figure gradually changed from chaotic darkness to an obsidian-like color, as if a layer of camouflage made of magic had faded away.

Looking carefully, in addition to his handsome face with eyes closed, Daniel's body is covered with a layer of highly technological battle armor. They seem to be made of extraordinary materials, metals, that humans have never seen before. It was made and worn on Daniel without any gaps. Even under the light of the swaying lights, it still maintained the black gold texture.

"The armor seems to be a living thing." Wulfya said in a deep voice. As an excellent [warrior] of Crusted, he has seen many more mysterious and dangerous monsters than this. In addition, he used After eating the "Anshen Neijuan Hana Cigarettes", his mood did not fluctuate much.

However, above this armor was the face of his friend Daniel who fought together. He could not raise his pistol and aim at his comrade who did not show many signs of mutation.

Simply, he had no choice but to follow Duck's suggestion, hold the "Northern Bear" pistol tightly with one hand, keep the bullets loaded, and aim the muzzle at the ground.

The monster did not keep Wulfa of Dak waiting for too long. As the oil lamp at the top of the main church, close to the two supreme gods "The Virgin" and "The Lord", was lit, Daniel slowly opened his eyes. eyes.

"Well, it turns out it's Wulfya, and little brother Dak." Daniel's voice was still so low, with obvious male characteristics, but it seemed to be a little cunning and joking, so that Dak heard it , seems a little distorted.

"Daniel." Dark's voice was not too loud, but it actually produced an ethereal echo in the church. It must be the result of some kind of resonance between the magic source power in the body and the power of the monster, "The... Come back with us, we have to continue heading north tomorrow."

Facing Dak's words, Daniel did not make any statement. However, his expression changed from indifference to a smile, and then extended to a wild laugh. The corners of his mouth were raised excessively, as if they were close to the earlobes. .

This kind of expression is obviously not something that human beings can make. Even a very small number of people with mental breakdowns or lost people cannot make it. After all, they still have human cognition in their hearts.

call!

Daniel suddenly opened his hands, like an eagle spreading its wings, but in the eyes of Dak and Wulfya, it was more like a seven-star ladybug or a cockroach about to take off.

An energy spread outwards from Daniel's body, creating a strange ripple in the air.

"It's definitely a monster." At this point, Dark dared to confirm:

"However, I'm not sure whether Daniel has been assimilated by them or mutated. Wulfya, look, Daniel's chest does not glow red. In other words, his heart has not mutated into a machine. . As long as he does not take the initiative to attack us, we cannot do so in accordance with the Federal Military Law approved by the Federal Council.”

"Do you still care about federal laws now?" Wulfya said angrily, but he did not raise his pistol, but stared at Daniel who started dancing in a weird and twisted dance.

"After all, he is under the direct management of the Strategic Group of the Federal Council. If we do not want to leave the Federation for the time being, his death will definitely be reviewed if there is no reasonable explanation. Not to mention, in the absence of clear signs of mutation, Execute your comrades," Dak reminded.

At this moment, a sound similar to the shaking of a helicopter propeller came from Daniel's body, and the "living" armor began to change its shape, covering Daniel with a layer similar to the ancient Crusted heavy armor. While wearing a knight-like armor, a pair of fly-like wings with sticky blood and filthy wings appeared on his back.

They rotated at high speed, emitting a dizzying low hum, and slowly and comically lifted Daniel up from the ground until they were parallel to the dilapidated and shaky crystal chandelier on the top of the church, and hung just above On top of the wooden statue of the "God of the Forest".

It was as if he was surrounded by sinful monsters, already above the sequential gods, but briefly worshiped under the majesty of the true Lord, like a "not completely loyal believer".

After maintaining this ugly, weird, mysterious, and fantastic posture for almost more than a minute, Daniel breathed a long sigh of relief and made a real human voice for the first time:

"Well, it took a long time to fuse with this sequence monster, Wulfya and Dak. In order to fully obtain its power, I shut down most of my consciousness, leaving behind a body close to the body. things, let them play freely.”

Having said this, Daniel clenched his fists and tightened his upper body muscles, revealing his delicate and toned muscles. Then, he finally set his sights on Dak and Wulfya. But he said with a bird's eye view:

"I know, you must be assessing my mental state and want to know if I have been infected by the 'unintentional virus', right? I am happy to tell you that I am healthy and healthier than ever. No, not People are healthier than me, hahaha.

"Before coming here, I had been injected with 'Federal Agent No. 0 (modification)' for several days in a row. It can protect me from the high concentration of 'unintentional virus' for a month. You see, my heart is beating It looks soft, which means that I have not been infected with any 'unintentional virus' and have not mutated. Naturally, I am still a friend and comrade-in-arms with you."

"I always feel that Daniel is weird, but I can't explain it." Dak whispered to Wofya:

"But the aura of the monster is getting stronger and stronger. How about... I try to ask Daniel about the monster first."

Wulfya nodded slightly and agreed.

With Wulfya's consent, Dark deliberately cleared his throat and asked:

"Daniel, according to federal law, we are indeed still friends and comrades-in-arms. However, you should come down, take off the... armor-like thing covering your body, and put it away. Then go back with us and go north together tomorrow. , through this forest. But if you refuse to take it off, then I have to wonder if these armors are transformed by monsters. You know, monsters always confuse people."

"Haha, Duck, you are very smart. This is indeed a monster." Daniel admitted generously:

"It's called the 'Black Fly'. It's a parasite, and it can also be regarded as a simple armor. It's a gift given to me by the God of the Forest. Even if I sacrifice my soul, I feel like I can't repay His favor."
