Chapter 442: Necromancer Red Queen

  Chapter 442 Necromancer Red Queen

   After entering the hive, everyone was shocked by the tragedy here. Hobbs looked at the researchers with different death patterns, and felt more and more that there was a conspiracy here.

  Following the path guided by Kaplan, the group arrived at the legendary No. 2 restaurant smoothly. Hobbs looked at the monsters locked in these special iron cabinets with a very ugly expression.

   "You tell me, this ghost place is a restaurant?"

  A series of various things made Hobbs extremely suspicious of Kaplan. What exactly is this so-called hive laboratory doing?

  Is this mechanism engineer a monitor sent by the other party?

   After finishing this task by myself, what troubles will I face next?

By this time, Hobbs was no longer obsessed with identities such as "leader" and "captain". He didn't want to die here in a daze. He was going to test the tone of David and the others first to find out what these people were like. After confirming that they are not the people arranged by Kane, discuss together what to do next?

   Just when Hobbs was thinking this way, David, who was looking at another iron cabinet, complained along Hobbs' words: "Maybe it is really a restaurant, but it is definitely not for humans."

   Hobbs glanced at David who was not far away, and then at Alice who looked puzzled and obviously hadn't thought of anything yet.

   "No matter what, finish the task first!"

   There is no way to find the potion or anything else. At present, his only task is to take out the core of the arcane mechanism and bring it back to the kingdom of Arendelle.

   Several people came to the core area of ​​the agency. David looked at Kaplan who was busy there, and thought of an interesting question.

   "If we don't take that core away, how will the next plot develop?"

  Using a small spell, I set up a 'chat room' for myself, Laura and Steve, where I can have a spiritual conversation without worrying about being heard by the people next to me.

   "In that case, there is a high probability that Hobbs will attack you."

"indeed."

  Although they haven't been together for a long time, they already have a general understanding of Hobbs' character: he will not give up the task without making it clear that his employer is entrapping him.

   At this moment, the beehive, which was as bright as day, suddenly went dark, and then the spare lights came on, and several closed iron doors around them opened with a click.

"what happened?"

  The three of them immediately looked at Kaplan. The mechanism engineer was proudly announcing his achievements: "I have completely shut down the core. Next, take out the core and take it away before you can leave."

   "..."

  How is this Kaplan better than the original Kaplan? Actually shut down the hive host directly?

  In the original plot, didn’t you have to go through the laser tunnel?

  What about the agreed laser channel?

  Hobbs didn't know that David was cursing in his heart, so he quickly took out the mechanism core, and then handed it to Kaplan, the mechanism engineer, for safekeeping, and then prepared to take everyone back to Arendelle.

  Although there are many weird situations, but if he can successfully complete the task entrustment, then he can ignore those things.

  However, things couldn't develop in the direction he thought. Before he could get out of the core area, the monster he had seen in the iron cabinet of the second restaurant had already killed him.

"Ugly monster, I knew you would cause me trouble." Hobbs glanced at the wound on his arm, and didn't take the skin trauma seriously. After pulling out his hammer and giant axe, he roared and rushed forward .

   Alice and the others who were frightened by the monster that suddenly appeared were a little at a loss, wondering what they should do in this situation?

   On the contrary, Kaplan's actions were very firm. He immediately stood behind Steve and completely entrusted his safety to the shield-wielding warrior.

  In addition to the skinned lickers that appeared one after another, zombies also began to appear.

   Hobbs, who was fighting against the Licker with two heavy weapons, finally understood the secrets hidden in this **** laboratory after noticing more and more undead creatures around him.

   "Damn it, there are necromancers here!"

   "..."

  I don't know why, but David always feels that this roar is full of grooves.

"Aren't you going to make a move?" Laura, who had already drawn out her bow and arrow, called out the zombies around her one by one, and occasionally shot at the more threatening lickers, looked at her standing behind her all the time, as if she was the same as Kaplan. David, an auxiliary member with little combat effectiveness: "Are you going to hand over all these zombies to us?"

   "I don't think there are enough zombies for you to kill alone."

  David carefully observed the zombies around him, and he found that these zombies all carried the power of death. These zombies were indeed awakened by mysterious forces, not created by viruses like in the movie.

   This has also led to the fact that these zombies are not as "fragile" as in the movie. Even if they are headshot by an arrow, they will still continue to move firmly towards the target and launch an attack.

  He didn't need to speak to remind his teammates, as several people present could sense this.

  In comparison, David is more concerned about where do these powers of death come from? Could it be that there is really a powerful necromancer hiding in the hive of this world?

   "Sure enough, unknown things are more likely to arouse curiosity."

  After thinking for a while, David was about to make a move to see if he could lure out the mastermind behind the scenes, but when he looked up, he found that the last zombie had been beaten to death by Steve with a hammer.

  Whether it is Steve, who is a paladin, or Laura, a holy light hunter, after they discover that these undead must defeat the power of death in their bodies in order to be killed, they will attach powerful holy light to each attack.

   These two undead nemesis, who are absolutely known, surrounded by such a large group of zombies, quickly fell to the ground while they were chopping melons and vegetables, and could never stand up again.

  Even Hobbs was amazed at the fighting power of the two, and it wasn't until this time that he realized that these two temporary teammates were not ordinary 'warriors' and 'hunters'.

"It's actually a paladin... and a hunter who can use divine power." Looking at David, who claims to be a priest, Hobbs suspected that this priest would take the initiative to form a team with him to come to Raccoon Town. In fact, he came here to solve the evil. The Necromancer, right?

   I don't know that I was misunderstood. David suddenly felt a force of death filling the entire space, and then poured into the corpses all over the floor.

   "It's not over yet, be careful!"

Raising his hand and striking, he killed the zombie that grabbed Matthew's leg again. David's Holy Light was pure and powerful, and just a single blow casually defeated the zombie's freshly filled death force. .

   Realizing that these zombies could still be resurrected, Steve frowned and immediately stomped his feet vigorously, using the group attack skill of dedication.

  Powerful, rich holy light spewed out from the floor, soaking all the zombies present who had just been injected with a large amount of death power, and melting the death power in their bodies again.

   "..."

  Seeing the countless zombies who got up, or just raised their heads before they could get up, Hobbs swallowed involuntarily.

  The situation here is much more terrifying than I expected. If I deal with these undead creatures that cannot be killed by myself, I am afraid that it will be difficult to leave alive today.

   And these temporary teammates are beyond imagination. Could it be that they were specially sent by the Holy See?

   While Hobbs was making various guesses in his mind, David had already locked in on the position of the 'enemy'.

   "What a surprise, it's by our side."

   Snatched the bag in Kaplan's hand with a wave and threw it into the air, followed by a blow of the Holy Light Wave, blasting it to pieces!

  But just one second before the core was blown to pieces, a translucent phantom flew out of it, floating above the large corpses.

   "..."

  David saw clearly the phantom image on the opposite side, and the power of complaining in his stomach was almost uncontrollable: Isn't this the Red Queen? Has the human design changed from artificial intelligence to undead? Judging from this posture, he is still a very powerful necromancer.

   Just when the cute and harmless Red Queen was about to 'resurrect' the corpses beside her again, the Red Queen suddenly felt a huge threat approaching.

   Relying on the particularity of the undead, he instantly moved to a distance.

   At the same time as the red queen fled, a pillar of fire descended from the void, burning all the corpses on the ground to ashes in the blink of an eye.

   "..."

  Red Empress wanted to say something else, but at that moment she did feel the fear of death. It has been a long time since she transformed into an undead form.

  The pillar of fire with divine power was really terrifying, even if it didn't even rub against her, she felt like she was going to be purified when it fell from such a distance.

"who are you?"

   "David." David, who had cleaned up the miscellaneous soldiers, waved his hand lightly, and used the holy light to directly seal and lock the area to prevent the necromancer in the undead state from escaping.

  Hong Hou looked around, and after sensing that the entire space was sealed by the terrifying holy power, he understood what he was facing: he was doomed! The kind without any suspense!

Seeing this, the Red Queen stopped pretending, and no longer looked like an honest, well-behaved, and cute child, and gradually turned into a bone frame wearing a red dress with rotten flesh, screaming wildly at David .

   "Hmph, it's just barking incompetently!"

  Screaming screams with a breath of death would be a fatal threat to ordinary living beings, but to David, it was just noise.

  The damage is not as good as the most dazzling little apple that David sang casually.

   "Shut up you!"

  Without any skills, and without any name, he casually condensed a huge wave of holy light and bombarded the Red Queen, interrupting her death scream and beating her to a near-death state.

  Looking at the red queen whose body was slowly disappearing, David began to think about 'how can the plot develop in the future? '

   At this moment, he heard the curse of the Red Queen:

   "Master Umbrella will not let you go... and the Holy See behind you..."
