Chapter 331
Soon.
The undead scourge has been temporarily halted from its unbridled expansion.
This is the era of the Industrial Revolution.
In a dozen years, the First World War will begin.
An old capitalist power like England has a deep heritage, and modern weapons and cannons have great lethality to ordinary undead who are infected by the breath of natural disasters, and when the garrison in London moved out of artillery, the initial one-sided situation has become a stalemate~
The army of the undead crashed headlong into the defense line of the modern army, and then smashed into pieces in an instant like a tsunami crashing on a reef!
"Sure enough, simple undead still can't work~"
Xia Ye had actually expected this result for a long time.
Don't underestimate the power of modern weapons!
Even the Skeleton Pirate King who was killed before, in this era, it is estimated that it will be cool to take a few fortress cannons!
Fortunately, there are not many garrisons in London now.
The island of England is isolated from the sea, and now it is a time of peace, and London is naturally safe.
Most of England's troops were sent to colonies around the world to suppress riots and seize wealth.
As a result, London's military power was significantly reduced.
Xia Ye tapped on the wall tiles under him, and the corners of his mouth hooked, "Since ordinary undead can't do it, let's have some enhanced version!" Speaking of which, it's just that the zombie sea is not qualified to be called an undead disaster!"
"Let's get started!"
With Natsuba's command.
Among the undead legions that have grown to tens of thousands, many of the undead have regained their memories and wisdom, and they are no longer muddy walking dead~
However.
Although the memory was restored.
But don't expect them to set things right.
The consciousness of the undead and the living is already different.
Even if they have the wisdom and memories of life, as the undead, hatred for the living is the driving force of everything, whether they were once good or bad, now the undead only have the desire to destroy everything in their hearts!
Soon—
The London troops stationed at the "117" intersections saw many nightmarish existences!
It is more than ten meters high, and there are various corpses stitched together to form an abomination, which is the masterpiece of undead surgeons~
A zombie dog that moves quickly and exudes the smell of plague all over its body, this is the result of the efforts of the undead apothecary!
An undead knight in an English army uniform riding a reinforced pitch-black warhorse, this is the posture of the cavalry regiment in the London garrison after it has been transformed!
When these diverse undead creatures join the battlefield.
The line of defense of the London garrison began to be precarious.
Having seen all sorts of undead creatures in all shapes and forms, the atmosphere of fear in the city of London has spread to all areas.
Even the morale of the army suffered a big blow.
Especially when the artillery begins to be ineffective against those abominations that are thick-skinned and even blessed with special powers~
Roar——!
When a hideous bone dragon with a body of more than twenty meters and a body composed of white bones flew through the sky-
The residents of London, who had been a little calmed down because of the protection of the army, instantly collapsed, and the people who were broken by fear began to flee frantically, and the defense line of the London garrison was disrupted, and the undead army seized the opportunity to attack West London in one fell swoop!
The undead scourge has grown to hundreds of thousands.
Although it is still a little less than the population of nearly 6 million in London, it is more than 100,000 troops, which is already more than the garrison in London, and as for those civilians, in the face of the undead natural disaster, there is no threat at all, and there is no resistance at all~
10 Downing Street.
The drama "Yes, Prime Minister!" is right, the country's government efficiency is almost negative.
At a time when the undead scourge has surrounded the area of Buckingham Palace, where the royal family is located, and Whitehall, where the government offices are located, the big names in the House of Commons have not even discussed how to deal with this kind of disaster!
And in a luxurious mansion near the Palace of Westminster.
Professor Moriarty is no longer calm.
Information keeps coming from outside.
He paced back and forth in the hall, and there was a lot more uncertainty in his originally gloomy eyes.
After the London garrison stopped the invasion of the undead outside West London, he was slightly relieved.
But now, the undead have evolved and broken through the safe defenses, which makes him panic.
After all, although he is a villain boss who is scheming and even Sherlock Holmes does not dare to be careless, in the face of this undead invasion like a natural disaster, he is no different from ordinary humans, and he is extremely vulnerable~
"Professor?"
Conan and his entourage followed the professor back to their home just now, this Moriarty Professor's mansion is still safe, Conan, who has the ultimate goal in mind, does not care much about the undead disaster outside at this time, but hurries up and asks:
"Where's Jack the Ripper?"
"Jack?"
Professor Moriarty glanced at the child in front of him in surprise, and wondered, "Now that it's messed up outside, do you still want to find Jack?"
"That's right!" Conan nodded solemnly:
"We must find Jack the Ripper!"
"Why?" Professor Moriarty was even more puzzled.
"Because, as long as Jack the Ripper is found, this disaster out there will end!"
Conan looked at Moriarty's gloomy eyes with a firm look and said the reason word by word.
Now there is not so much time to negotiate with this villain boss, you need to find Jack the Ripper quickly!
And Professor Moriarty is helpless about the situation out there now, and he will grasp whatever the lifeline.
What's more, Jack the Ripper is just a sharp blade in his hand that is no longer too controlled, even if it is lost, there is no pity!
"You're cheating on me?"
Moriarty's eyes were grim.
The soldiers guarding the surroundings sensed the malice of their master and surrounded them with guns.
The other children trembled with fear.
Conan was very calm.
There are also the three little ones of the junior detective team, although they are also a little scared, but they still bravely stand by Conan's side, Ayumi mustered up the courage to look at Professor Moriarty and said loudly: "What Conan said is true, as long as you find Jack the Ripper, the game will-"
"Ahem!"
Conan interrupted Ayumi's spoilers with a light cough, and then the topic continued: "Professor, Jack the Ripper is just a pawn to you, why don't you give it a try, if you let those undead attack all of London, your ambitions will be impossible!"
"Hehe~"
Professor Moriarty doesn't bother with how Conan knows his own affairs, these little children are very magical, maybe you can trust a little-
"I'll summon Jack right now!"
"Great!"
A hint of joy appeared on Conan's face, and the children behind him cheered, as long as Jack the Ripper was found, then this thrilling and exciting game would be over!
The other side.
Natsuba walks in the area overrun by the Legion of the Undead.
Suddenly—
Something on the street that appeared to be a PA device emitted a short screech, then a long screech, and finally fell silent.
"Moriarty is summoning Jack the Ripper~"
Of course, Xia Ye knew that Conan was mixed up with Professor Moriarty, this kid didn't look at Holmes, but he was actually very interested in Holmes's biggest opponent, Professor Moriarty, and Professor Moriarty's identity was key, so it was normal for him to go to the professor.
But—
The area where Jack the Ripper is active is the area around Whitechapel in the East End of London, which is the area where the undead plague first broke out, although Jack the Ripper seems to have escaped the ravages of the natural disaster now, but on his own, how can he go through the layers of undead to the West End of London?
Natsuha smiled and shook her head.
Didn't bother to care about it.
He strolled into a luxurious theater.
There is no undead infestation in this theater, or rather, because of one person, Natsuba stopped the undead from attacking this theater!
In the theater, the guests who had come to see the opera huddled in all corners with frightened expressions.
On the contrary, on the stage, a stunning beauty wearing a gorgeous and elegant long dress stood on it, although her face was pale, she looked quite calm~
Da Da Da –
The sound of footsteps broke the eerie atmosphere.
Everyone looked at Xia Ye who walked in from the outside in surprise, and wanted to ask about the situation outside, but they didn't dare to step forward because they were afraid.
Xia Ye ignored them and walked straight onto the stage.
"Who are you?"
Erin Adler's tone was puzzled:
"Outside—hmm!"
Xia Ye hugged her slender waist and lowered her head, blocking her questions.
Yusaku Kudo, who set the script, is mixed with private goods, and this Erin Adler looks exactly like Yukiko.
And she also has a kind of grace and grace that Kiko rarely shows, which makes Xia Ye how can she bear it-
Well, it does feel good!
Noah's Ark even simulated this very realistically. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
I just don't know if I can go further?
"Alright, come with me!"
Xia Ye let go of Erin Adler, who was confused, and smiled at her still delicate red lips.
"Who are you?"
Erin Adler finally asked the question in her mind. []
"Me?"
Xia Ye looked around, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"I am the creator of this scourge of the dead!"
"It's also a hero who can save you!"
"What?!"
Erin Adler and the guests huddled in the corner were instantly stunned, this handsome and sunny looking young man turned out to be the culprit of this disaster?!
And yet—
Just when the people in the audience wanted to question.
Natsuba and Erin Adler on the stage disappeared out of thin air, and then-
The voice of the undead was heard again outside the theater door.
Soon after.
Natsuba walks out of a nobleman's mansion.
And in the bedroom of the mansion.
Erin Adler had fallen asleep.
"Hey, it's very realistic in all aspects, but it's a pity that I can't take the last step~"
Try it yourself.
Natsuba probed Erin Adler's limits0 .
But yes, this is not butter, and he is already very satisfied with being able to do it to this extent~
Ponder for a moment.
Xia Ye turned around and walked towards the junction of the East and West Sides of London, where there were fluctuations in consciousness from the undead, and a very strong person was trying to break through the defenses of the undead and enter the West End from the East End of London.
That should be Jack the Ripper.
Otherwise, apart from a mentally problematic guy like him, who else would recklessly attack the defense line composed of nearly 10,000 undead because of an order?
Natsuha doesn't plan to see Professor Moriarty and Conan, Conan doesn't care, he must have guessed that he is the creator of this natural disaster, the key is Ayumi, if she knows that Natsuba's brother is so evil, she will be sad~
So, that's the end of it!
In Professor Moriarty's mansion.
Everyone was anxiously waiting.
Wait for news from outside and the arrival of Jack the Ripper.
Suddenly—
"All Stars and Trees" was slightly stunned.
There was a hint of helplessness on his face.
The end of the game has been met......
The next moment.
In the living room, Professor Moriarty and the soldiers seemed to have been pressed the pause button.
The camera zooms up, and all of London, including the raging Scourge and the panicked populace, comes to a standstill, and then—
All the players who participated in the game were in a dark position.
When you regain consciousness again, you're back to where it all started – choose the square of the game!
However, now only Natsuba, "Stars and Trees", and Conan are left in this square!
Conan communicated with "Hideki the Stars" and learned the truth about the genius boy Hiroki, and then, Noah's Ark, who had restored Hiroki's appearance, began to say goodbye to Conan-
"Wait!"
Conan asked one last question: "What's going on with Natsuha over there, those undead were summoned by him, right?"
"That's right~"
Noah's Ark glanced at Xia Ye calmly, "That's the prop he took from the [Pirate Century], he also has an artificial intelligence, so he can take my permission, but, it doesn't matter, Conan, goodbye~"
Noah's Ark dissipates as a stream of data.
It looks like he's dead.
However.
In fact, all that data was collected by Tia.
Conan walked over slowly.
looked at Natsuha with a complicated expression.
Xia Ye smiled slightly, and said jokingly: "Don't look at me like this, everyone has their own secrets, since it is a secret, naturally you can't tell others~"
Conan wanted to say something.
Xia Ye waved his hand.
The two disappeared into the square in an instant.
On the stage where the "Cocoon" game warehouse is placed.
Natsuba opened the hatch and walked out.
The rest of the children had already been carried out by ecstatic parents, and now there was chaos in the exhibition hall.
Yusaku Kudo and his entourage also rushed over.
After entering the game from the square, Noah's Ark and Tia tacitly cut off the surveillance, so no one in the control room knew what was going on in the game.
"There was a 1.5 undead scourge in the game?!"
"Chairman Sindra killed Mr. Kenmura and is now arrested?"
Conan briefly communicated the situation with Yusaku Kudo, and then they were both stunned by the other party's information!
Look at the messy scene.
Xia Ye took Xiaolan and left with them.
Leave the rest to Tomoko Suzuki.
In the evening, Xia Ye saw the news on TV.
In the news, it was said that Chairman Schindler was extradited back to the United States, and he will accept just sanctions in his own country~
Of course –
As long as a normal person is a normal person, they won't believe it.
There must be a lot of unknown things going on in secret.
As it happens, Natsuba knows this.
The Suzuki consortium got all the information of the "Cocoon" game, and also bought the entire game server from the Sindra company, and has already mastered this epoch-making virtual reality technology!
"Natsuba?"
Shiho had changed back to a girl's appearance, and now she was lying on Natsuha's lap in her pajamas, and asked expectantly, "In other words, we will soon be able to play the official virtual game?"
"Officially~"
Xia Ye smiled and shook his head, "The setting of the game world requires a lot of work, however, Tia said that you can set up a port at home, you can play the beta version here, and you can also give some comments~"
"Great!"
Zhibao got up and took a sip on Xia Ye's face, looking forward to it, "When the time comes, call Xiaolan and Yuanzi over, we haven't found all the [Solomon's Treasures] yet!"
"Well, these game worlds will remain, so you can enjoy it~"
Natsuha stroked Shiho's hair, chatting with her and Akemi, while looking at the ceiling, Tia is evolving now, and I don't know what will happen after the evolution is successful?
