Chapter 62 Blindness
In his previous life, Lin Mo did not have the opportunity to take revenge.
The reason is simple: Zhang Lei was already a very powerful lord hero at that time. Not only had her physical constitution been strengthened, but the troops she led were also beyond the reach of ordinary people.
As for Wang Zhen, he is said to be doing quite well, but I heard he went to another region.
So in the end, Lin Mo was killed by the vampire, and he never took revenge.
But this time, he clearly wouldn't let these two guys off the hook.
"Judging by the time, they should have escaped from the basement by now. Of course, they may have starved to death down there. If they are dead, consider yourself lucky." Lin Mo knew that his decision to develop his career in North America after his rebirth must have triggered a butterfly effect.
For example, if I weren't there, would Wang Zhen and Zhang Lei go back to the basement to take refuge?
For example, even if you manage to hide down there, what if you die? What if you accidentally wander into a "maze"? What if you manage to escape the minotaur's pursuit, find the exit, and find Pandora's box?
These are all unknowns.
Any single variable can lead to a completely different result.
Skeletal warhorses galloped on the road, and occasionally a few cars could be seen breaking down. Apart from that, there were all sorts of monsters.
However, there were basically no wild monsters that could stop Lin Mo along the way.
Nearly 500 skeleton soldiers are no joke, especially with Lin Mo's already excellent four-dimensional attributes, making him virtually invincible.
As a result, after several battles along the way, and having only covered half the distance, the number of skeletons had already exceeded 500.
Ahead lay a green meadow stretching for over ten kilometers, with numerous forests and rolling mountains.
From another perspective, the scenery is quite nice.
At this moment, Lin Mo noticed a fortified territory appearing not far away.
Coincidentally, the lord of this territory was not far away, riding a brown warhorse. At the same time that Lin Mo saw him, the other party also saw Lin Mo.
The skeletal warhorse's design was clearly more imposing. Moreover, Lin Mo possessed quite a few strategic treasures, all of which he could wear according to their appropriate size.
At this moment, Lin Mo was carrying a necromancer shield, wearing a speed cloak, a skull crown, and a longsword at his waist.
This design is absolutely dominant at this stage.
After all, the cataclysm had only occurred twenty days ago, less than a month ago. Only a few outstanding individuals had established territories and become lord heroes, but even then, they hadn't accumulated many treasures or troops.
Therefore, Lin Mo's situation is no different from a high-level "player" stepping into a newbie village, giving these newbies a shock.
Yang Hong was deeply shocked at this moment.
He could hardly believe his eyes. He had actually encountered a 'Lord Hero' with such excellent equipment. His identity was beyond doubt, and he could tell that.
That mount boasts speeds comparable to a sports car, and only lord-level heroes can buff it.
"Is he here to occupy my territory?" Yang Hong thought of one possibility.
My heart tightened instantly.
In that instant, he felt a desire to resist, but more than that, he felt fear and helplessness.
Thinking about the thirty units of centaur warriors and the dozen or so combat dwarves in his military manual, he felt very uncertain.
While he was lost in thought, the lord hero riding the skeletal warhorse did not slow down and rode straight past.
At most, he glanced at him and then at the fortified territory a few hundred meters away.
That's it.
Lin Mo certainly wouldn't occupy this territory; it would be pointless. After all, he wouldn't develop in this place, and besides, there were no other trustworthy subordinates or other divinely gifted heroes to help him guard it.
Santa and Genova remained in several territories in North America to help him guard and expand those territories.
This time, Lin Mo returned alone.
In fact, he didn't bring anything except the skeleton soldier unit.
Even the Vampire King didn't have it.
All other troop types remained in the Skull City, accumulating slowly. Since they possessed the Soul Summoning Technique, the number of wild skeletons would only increase, growing with each battle, and would not decrease.
Once the other party had left and was out of sight, Yang Hong breathed a sigh of relief. He knew he had escaped a disaster.
Although he didn't know why the other party would let him go, it was an opportunity.
"I must speed up the development process, otherwise, sooner or later other lord heroes will come knocking on my door." Yang Hong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. This encounter was actually a good thing for him. He was originally quite pleased with himself, thinking that he had become a lord hero and had a certain number of troops, making him one of the best among the many survivors.
But today's events made him realize that there's always someone better.
We must never let our guard down.
Along the way, Lin Mo encountered two similar territories.
Of course, this is only what he saw; there must be other things he didn't see.
"These are the first batch of lord heroes, and there should be quite a few future big shots among them. Should I make arrangements in advance and get to know them first?" Lin Mo's mind wandered.
The skeletal warhorse ran very steadily, requiring no special control from him, which gave him the leisure to think about this and that.
Finally, after more than half an hour, Lin Mo entered the city he knew best once again.
"Migratory Bird City".
And you know what? It really felt like coming home, after all, this was the place where he used to live and work.
Some of the buildings look familiar and welcoming.
Although it looks a bit dilapidated now, and some parts have even collapsed, none of this can stop Lin Mo from reminiscing about the past.
He knew this place too well. He knew where the treasure chests were, which powerful lords would emerge in the future, and where the hidden buildings were.
"Before we go into the underground labyrinth, let's grab a few treasures first, lest something unexpected happens!" Lin Mo muttered, riding his horse toward a hospital in the city center.
Skeletal warhorses galloped through the shattered streets, their hooves clattering on the gravel and broken glass.
Lin Mo tightened the reins, and the warhorse neighed loudly before stopping in front of a collapsed building.
He looked up at the building; it was the Second Hospital of Migratory Bird City, which locals usually called "Second Hospital".
The white exterior walls have peeled off and crumbled, revealing the gray-black concrete underneath.
The door was half broken, and shards of glass were scattered all over the ground.
The words "Migratory Bird City Second Hospital" hung crookedly above the door, with the last character missing, leaving only an empty screw hole.
Lin Mo dismounted and put the skeletal warhorse into his military treatise.
He stood at the hospital entrance, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.
The air was filled with the stench of decay, the smell of disinfectant, and some indescribable odor, like the smell of burning ozone.
These flavors, when mixed together, are so strong they make you want to vomit.
Lin Mo walked into the hospital gate.
The lobby was a mess; the glass at the registration desk was broken, the chairs were overturned, and medical records and medicine bottles were scattered on the floor.
Lin Mo ignored all of this and walked straight towards the stairwell.
He needed to go to the hospital's basement to retrieve something.
The basement corridor was long, with closed doors on both sides, and there were many wandering zombies in the corridor.
There weren't many of them, and they weren't stacked up. For Lin Mo right now, monsters that weren't stacked up were no different from being delivered to someone's doorstep.
Release the skeleton soldiers, and it'll be solved easily.
At the end of the corridor stood an iron door, a dark red light shining through its cracks. Lin Mo stopped and pushed it open with a creak.
Behind the door was a large room, like an old warehouse in a hospital.
The room was filled with cardboard boxes and iron frames; the cardboard boxes were moldy, and the iron frames were rusty.
At the far end of the room, there was a stone platform with a wooden box on it.
Next to the wooden box stood two stacks of zombies.
Each group contains 100 units.
Zombies are a level 2 upgraded unit of the Necropolis faction.
For most people, this is an extremely difficult line of defense to cross.
The stacked units are much stronger than the unstacked ones.
Basically, the more you stack it, the stronger it becomes.
100 units of zombies are enough to kill any carbon-based life form in one hit.
Lin Mo showed no expression. He released his skeleton soldiers, 500 of them stacked together, and charged straight at them.
This terrain is basically one-on-one, so there's no need to form groups.
In fact, no magic is needed.
Because 100 zombie units simply cannot withstand 500 skeletons with enhanced attack power.
In less than a minute, all two hundred zombies fell to the rusty iron swords of the skeleton soldiers.
Lin Mo walked to the stone platform and opened the wooden box.
Inside the box lay a yellowed parchment.
