Apocalypse Awakening

Chapter 27 The Power of the Artifact Soul System
They visited about a dozen houses, but found nothing, but when the two visited the last one, something unexpected happened.

This family is different from other families. The father of the missing baby is an awakened member of the military, but due to military reasons, the father was unable to return to Nandu for a short time.

And their family is a pair of twins. According to the mother, she woke up in the middle of the night that night and witnessed one of her children being swallowed by the body of the baby-eating mother.

"Swallow it in one gulp?" Ning Qiu was a little surprised.

Although the baby is not big, how can it be possible to swallow it in one bite?
Zombies are mutated by viruses infected by humans, and ordinary zombies are indistinguishable from human forms.

Including the swift and powerful corpses and giant corpses that Ning Qiu had seen, their bodies were also mutated on the basis of human beings.

That's why Ning Qiu is very strange. If he can swallow a baby's zombie in one gulp, is it a zombie?

"The child's father has a mission, and I'm afraid he won't be able to come back in a short time. I beg you, please help me find my child." The child's mother burst into tears, heartbroken. If she didn't have another child to take care of, I'm afraid it has already collapsed.

In fact, this is the case. Many mothers lose control of their emotions after learning that their children are missing.

In a previous visit, the mother of a child took out a kitchen knife from the kitchen to fight Ning Qiu and the others, and blamed them, the awakened ones, for their incompetence, which was really unreasonable.

"We will definitely do our best in this matter, but you also know that your child has been missing for five days, I'm afraid..."

Upon hearing this, the child's mother was even more weeping, but she was the wife of a military awakener, so she had heard a little about zombies.The child has been missing for five days, even if the body of the baby-eating mother is found, there is probably no reason for him to survive.

"I'm sorry, but we want to know more about the scene of that night. I hope you can describe it more specifically, which will also improve our work efficiency." Han Shiyu knew that the mother didn't want to recall the scene of that night, so she said I also feel sorry for saying this.

The mother wiped her tears and said: "I take two children by myself, so I have to get up several times every night. That night, I just got up to cover the children with a quilt, but when I opened my eyes, I saw There was a vague black figure in the room. At first I thought I was dazzled, but then I saw a huge mouth open in its stomach and swallowed my child in one gulp."

"Wait, open the big mouth on the stomach? Did I hear correctly?" Ning Qiu interrupted.

The mother nodded and said: "Yes, its mouth is on the stomach, it's very big, and...and I feel that its body looks like a pregnant woman."

"Pregnant woman?"

What happened after that was that the baby-eating mother's corpse quickly fled the scene, and left directly from the door of the house. Ning Qiu and Han Shiyu also checked the door, and still found traces of unlocking it.

The two bid farewell to the mother, returned to the Yaoguang clubhouse to report to work, and then went straight back to the apartment.

Gong Ting led the team there last night, and only saw the back of the corpse of the baby-eating mother before it ran away, which meant nothing.

"Could it be as I guessed, this zombie has already learned the lockpicking skill? Damn, isn't that a thief?" Ning Qiu said in surprise as he lay on the sofa in the living room.

"Can you pick the lock?" Han Shiyu asked.

"will not."

"That's it, even you idiot can't pick a lock, do you think this zombie is smarter than you?" Han Shiyu gave him a blank look.

"..." Ning Qiu was a little speechless, but he just said it casually, and he didn't think zombies could really open the lock.

Not long after, Han Shiyu's phone rang.

"It's Lin Mou."

They have already reported the visit to Lin Mou. With Lin Mou's level of knowledge, he was also surprised when he heard the stomach of the baby-eating mother's corpse opened its mouth wide.

However, according to the records of various zombie experience books, the body of the baby-eating mother's corpse does look a bit like a pregnant woman.

There are also many books that mention that the infant-eating mother corpse is a zombie infected by a virus from a human pregnant woman, and after advanced, it becomes the infant-eating mother corpse.

"I have checked all the records about zombies. There is no such thing as a zombie with a big mouth on its stomach. Some corpse beasts have this mutation, but I think that a corpse beast will hide in a city. This is obviously impossible." Lin Mou said.

"Haven't Captain Gong and the others seen that zombie?" Han Shiyu said.

"This is the strangest thing about me, because the captain and the others told me that what they saw was not the baby-eating mother's corpse at all, but a... swift and violent corpse."

Hearing this, Ning Qiu, who was lazily lying on the sofa, jumped up.

"Impossible, why did the Swift Corpse appear in the city?"

Ning Qiu has seen the swift and fierce zombie before. It is the lowest advanced zombie, but it is only stronger than ordinary zombies. It is absolutely impossible for them to linger in the city, otherwise the city would have been in chaos.

There was also a silence on the other side of the phone. I don't know if Lin Mou knew something, or if there was something he didn't want to say.

After a long time, Lin Mou said, "Have you heard of the Spiritual God Sect?"

Han Shiyu's face suddenly changed. She was born in a big family and knew some things that many ordinary people didn't know at all.

"This matter is probably beyond the capabilities of our team, so the captain is considering whether to give up this task." Lin Mou said.

"Give up? What about the baby-eating mother's corpse? If we don't catch it, a baby may disappear every night." Ning Qiu's face was stern.

Han Shiyu nodded, everyone understands this kind of thing, but they are only a one-star team now, and they can barely complete the two-star mission, but if this mission involves the Spiritual Sect, it may not be as simple as a two-star mission.

"We can apply for a more senior team in the regiment to continue to take over this task." Han Shiyu said.

"This matter has already been applied for. The other teams in our regiment still have tasks in their hands, so they can't be separated at all." Lin Mou said helplessly.

No one wants to give up the mission, because once the mission is returned to the Mercenary Association, it will definitely damage the mission completion rate of the Yaoguang Mercenary Group.

Moreover, every task accepted by the Mercenary Association requires a deposit. If the task cannot be completed, a part of the deposit will be deducted from the association.

After a sleepless night, Ning Qiu lay on the bed tossing and turning. He couldn't help but think of every family he visited. The family's longing for the child, the despair of losing the child, reminded him of the Hengcheng disaster. Many pictures.

When I came to the Yaoguang clubhouse the next day, Gong Ting looked at the expressions of the team members and said, "I know that everyone doesn't want to give up this task, so I discussed it with Lin Mou and decided to try it one last time. Of course, everything should be done with care. For the top."

Gong Ting was the captain of the team. He was the last person who didn't want to give up on the mission, so after discussion, everyone started to set off in a team.

"Ning Qiu, you don't want to participate in this mission." Afterwards, Gong Ting said to Ning Qiu.

"why?"

"You are the weakest in the team, and you don't have any actual combat experience. This mission is extraordinary. Don't worry, if you can complete the mission, you can also get a part of the commission." Gong Ting said.

The strength of most of the team members is between the elementary middle level and the high level. Ning Qiu joins from the elementary level of the weapon soul system, so Gong Ting believes that his strength is the weakest.

It was mainly because of the useless Horcrux. After learning about it, the team members agreed that it was a relatively sharp kitchen knife, and it would be of no use at all once a battle started.

"Captain, Ning Qiu's strength..."

"Needless to say, I have made a decision on this matter. Let's take action as soon as you are ready." Gong Ting said.

"Boy, congratulations on getting a chance to get something for nothing." Zhang Xiao glanced at Ning Qiu and said with disdain.

After the team members set off, Ning Qiu stayed in the clubhouse a little depressed. Lin Mou was in charge of collecting information and directing behind the scenes, so he didn't go with him either.

"Does your Horcrux really only have the ability to repair itself?" Lin Mou put the laptop on his lap and said while typing on the keyboard.

"At present, it seems to be like this." Ning Qiu found a magazine from nowhere and flipped through it boredly.

"However, I have read a lot of information about the awakened souls of the weapon. Their horcruxes have very powerful abilities, and the Southern Military Academy in Nandu also awakened a genius of the soul of the weapon." Lin Mou said.

"Oh? Is his Horcrux powerful?" Ning Qiu asked curiously.

"Not only is he powerful, it is said that on the tenth day of his awakening, he can fight against intermediate awakeners, and he can even gain the upper hand. He can only be described as abnormal."

"So powerful?" Ning Qiu was astonished. After ten days of awakening, he was able to fight with intermediate awakeners, and he was able to gain the upper hand. This strength must be beyond heaven.

Why is his Horcrux so weak.

After Ning Qiu killed the Juli Corpse and the Screaming Cat Corpse before, the blood line in the sword had reached about [-] centimeters. He always felt that this blood line could bring him unexpected surprises, although he Don't know what to expect.

"There is no one in a thousand who awakens the soul system. I have always believed that people who can awaken the soul system are definitely geniuses among geniuses. Let me give you an example. Ordinary awakeners fight by releasing abilities, and they are not good at fighting zombies." Fighting in close quarters. But awakened souls are different, they are very powerful whether it is a means of releasing supernatural powers from a distance, or fighting zombies in close quarters." Lin Mou said.

Ning Qiu has a deep understanding of the ability to fight in close quarters. The sharpness of the big sword cuts zombies like cutting tofu, but when it comes to the release of long-range abilities, it seems that he does not have this ability for the time being.

"Don't be discouraged, the Horcrux itself is an incredible existence. Although you think it's not very useful now, maybe you haven't discovered its power for the time being." Lin Mou laughed.
