Chapter 180 Life Outside the City (2)

unconsciously.

Five chalks controlled by witches at the same time, on the huge blackboard, write down the types of life outside the city that have been recorded.

Only low-level life and some basic knowledge.

The training site that Han Dong and others went to is 60 kilometers away from the Holy City, but it still belongs to the [controllable range], which is the area that the Holy City Knights have investigated.

certainly.

Just 'investigated'.

The scope of human control is limited to the interior of the Holy City.

Outside the city wall, even the land next to the city wall may have a huge change, and a large number of scavengers will suddenly emerge from the inside.

The farther away from the holy city, the level of danger will increase linearly.

This is also why 10% of the personnel left the field immediately when Commander Camon gave a distance of 69 kilometers.

These people are not weak, but they are unwilling to take such huge risks during the apprenticeship period.

In the surveyed area outside the city, most of the anomalies wandering around are low-level existences.

Divide common lower-order beings into three broad categories, listed below:

【Wild Monsters】-During the invasion of the world by a higher level of life, the total amount of wild animals decreased rapidly, estimated to be reduced by about 90% (except for some insects).

The rest of the wild animals are affected by various strange factors, resulting in changes in their own genetic layers, or corruption and distortion due to contamination with filth.

Common monster changes fall into three categories:

Aggregation - occurs mostly in small wild animals such as rodents. Such aggregated monsters have also appeared many times in the Holy City, and there have been several 'group rat incidents' in civilian areas.

First, some residents found that a large number of rats were moving in groups and attacking humans.

If you look closely, you will find that these mice are not group actions at all... Their fur and even their flesh and blood are all connected together.

When stimulated, the group of rats can directly turn into a bloody mouth to devour the target.

Anthropomorphism, common in mammals.

Take [Wolfman] as an example, it is obviously different from the werewolf in conventional folklore.

Use chalk on the blackboard to draw a picture of a werewolf to express its characteristics.

Quite terrifying convex spine structure! A huge white spine protrudes from the body, and there are small tentacles growing between the gaps of the spine, indicating that it has been seriously polluted and transformed.

A large number of wolf heads are also derived from the surface of its body.

There are similar twisted wolf head structures on the shoulders, waist and abdomen, knees, and the whole body, which can crush all living creatures that come close... It is several times more terrifying than the werewolves in ordinary folklore.

Maternal - rare variant type.

Very few animals and plants, after contact with higher-order beings.

After a long period of degenerate evolution, it will evolve into a highly reproductive parent.

Matrix usually occupies a sealed area, such as abandoned villages, underground caves. Breed freely inside and conceal the area through a mist.

Most of the mothers have reached the level of alien demons, and ordinary knight training will not encounter them.

【Evil】

Mainly refers to some dead objects affected by "breath",

Endowed with 'vitality' and even independent consciousness (mostly evil).

Categorizing filth is quite complicated.

Just the stones alone can distinguish the gargoyle, the moss golem, the stone...

The most common is the corpse filth.

Dead human beings have the highest probability of being turned into [evil] when they come into contact with 'breath', mostly skeletons... Of course, they are also different from the skeletons in the impression of ordinary people.

In short, be careful about anything dead outside the city.

【Humanity】

This is the category that needs to be explained the most, and it has a great threat in itself.

Cultists - the most common category, and a favorite way of human cultivation for high-level beings outside the city.

Raise ordinary humans into absolutely loyal cultists.

As long as this group of believers can meet some requirements such as 'hunting', 'sacrifice', '**satisfaction', etc., they will be given certain benefits.

Cultists who get the benefit will also become more loyal.

The threat of a single cult is not very big, and even an ordinary apprentice knight can easily solve it.

Of particular note are locations with large numbers of cultists.

As long as the number of cultists exceeds double digits, the level of danger increases exponentially... enough to cause mass casualties if not handled properly.

Once they are made aware of the danger, these cultists will not have any consideration at all, and will conduct large-scale sacrifices on the spot.

Summons the terrifying existence in the middle, even in the high position.

Moreover, a large number of cultists gather to sing together, which will also cause great pollution and harm to individuals from the spiritual level.

Cultists are a group of individuals whose body and soul are still healthy, but whose minds have completely fallen.

Although they are still human on the surface, they are nothing more than a group of controlled puppets.

Also, it should be noted that cultists are also sectarians...these cultists will be different due to the different high-level existences they belong to.

Inhumans - special individuals evolved by cultists through 'self-sacrifice', 'fallen', etc., and still maintain a human posture.

There is also a name for aliens within the cult - elders.

Very few cultists experience a high-level mutation during their worship.

In this way, it allows itself to break through the limits of human beings, no longer bound to the physical body, and derive some extremely dangerous abilities.

This kind of alien can switch between the 'human posture' and the 'alien posture' at will, thus completely hiding its own danger, and it is an extremely dangerous existence.

According to records, in the elite training camps in history, it was Inren who caused the most deaths among apprentice knights.

They have evolved an independent and sound consciousness system. They are sinister and cunning. They are absolutely evil and dangerous beings, and they must be paid special attention to.

Insect possessor

Before talking about this special group, it must be said that when the new era opens, the behavior of insects is different from that of ordinary animals.

This group of spineless little things has not undergone strange changes similar to [Wild Monsters].

Sensitive perception and internal discipline allow most insects to protect themselves in a very extreme way when they perceive the "doomsday" coming.

Similar to raising gu, the same group devoured each other, leaving only an existence similar to the king insect.

The remaining king worms will still feel the danger.

Therefore, they chose a suitable host for possession before the human beings at that time were completely extinct.

Use human potential to continue to grow and try to survive this apocalyptic catastrophe.

Even so, they are still unable to fight against [Alien Demons] and higher existences.

Possessors around the world have been killed in the struggle.

Before the establishment of the holy city, the remaining small number of insect possessors found a relatively safe place for 'permanent hibernation'.

However, as higher beings occupy the world, the 'breath' spreads all over the world.

Even if you bury yourself deep in the ground, you can't escape the intrusion of breath.

During their hibernation, they gradually corrupted and degenerated... and slowly turned into a kind of insect possessor who was not managed by any higher-level existence and acted independently.

They not only retain some of the characteristics of humans and insects, but also because of long-term pollution, their thoughts have become extremely evil, and they will launch indiscriminate attacks on humans.

When he saw the introduction about 'Insect Possession' on the blackboard, Han Dong unconsciously looked at classmate Mia beside him.
