He landed smoothly amidst the jolts and, looking at the thirty Blood Corpse platform positions neatly arranged in front of him, began to inspect them one by one.

Two Blood Corpse have died in the past few days, and the task of checking them was done by [ Lion Hidden in the Eyes ].

Although the Blood Corpse have been rendered harmless, they still pose a risk of infecting players.

After players are infected with the Corpse Poison, their attributes will drop drastically, so the effect usually doesn't last long.

Once they've confirmed that their lives have been fully utilized, they will voluntarily choose to commit suicide to be resurrected.

However, in places far from the Second Holy See, it is very difficult for players to resurrect.

There is indeed a resurrection Teleportation Tree on the King of Fall Resistance, I Guess, but it's just a seedling.

Unlike Temporary Resurrection Tree that can grow quickly, true permanent Resurrection Tree are not only not for sale but also have a long growth cycle. The one they had was a sapling that Ed had approved.

Even though the plants in the World of Disorder grow at an extraordinary speed, it still takes at least a week for them to fully mature.

It has only been less than five days since the group set off, so obviously the tree is not yet usable.

Because the Dragonborn have already been influenced by dragons, the rate of Blood Corpse Transformation will be slowed down after being infected by the Corpse Poison.

Therefore, the task of inspecting the engine room fell to the Dragonborn [ Lion Hidden in the Eyes ].

He has done this twice in the past few days.

And now, he's back again.

Walking steadily on the lowest deck, his gaze, Lion Hidden in the Eyes, swept over the rows of Blood Corpse and quickly found his target.

Although the Blood Corpse still had tree roots sticking out of the back of its head to provide nutrients, its entire body had gone limp.

Although his feet were still moving with the pedals, there were already white bone fragments protruding from his right shinbone, and the cracking sound he had just heard clearly came from there.

Whether this Blood Corpse is dead or alive is no longer important at this moment.

It's useless now; what difference does it make whether it's alive or dead?

[ Lion Hidden in the Eyes ] He strode forward and, following the steps Gray had taught him, removed the Blood Corpse from the footboard and tree roots.

He led the Blood Corpse to the side of the cabin, opened a small window, and casually tossed it out.

The Blood Corpse rolled on the ground, knocking down a large number of its companions behind it.

[ With Lion Hidden in the Eyes ] After confirming that the matter was resolved, he turned and left the lowest-level engine room.

On the rooftop, the [ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ], who was in charge of observing the situation, showed a clear look of worry on his face:

"Our speed is decreasing..."

[ The Good Times Don't Last ] He sighed and agreed:

"Yes, there were only thirty Blood Corpse in total, and now three are gone, which is equivalent to a reduction of one-tenth."

"Actually, it's not just that--"

[ The Traditional Eccentric Wheel ] said with great concern:

"Even without the Blood Corpse, the workstations still run idle, which consumes some energy."

Although [ Lion Hidden in the Eyes ]'s actions just now temporarily alleviated the crisis for everyone, they still did not completely solve the problem.

Looking at the Blood Corpse that had already begun to display its sharp teeth, [ the Good Times Don't Last n't last long] couldn't help but sigh:

"The closer the pursuers get, the faster the fortress needs to accelerate."

"The faster the fortress accelerates, the greater the pressure on the Blood Corpse."

The greater the pressure on the Blood Corpse Blood Corpse, the faster it dies.

"The faster the Blood Corpse die, the slower the fortress moves."

The slower the fortress moves, the closer the pursuers get.

Therefore, the faster the fortress moves, the slower the fortress itself moves!

"TM has a closed loop, right?"

A voice, "[ Lion Hidden in the Eyes ]," sounded from behind him as the Dragonborn ascended the stairs and said:

"This can't go on, I have an idea."

The two of them immediately looked at the Dragonborn with shining eyes:

"Tell me, tell me!"

What are the powertrain components of our car?

" Blood Corpse."

Who are the pursuers behind us?

" Blood Corpse!"

"Then why don't we grab the Blood Corpse behind us and stuff them into the engine room?"

"This..."

Both [ Good Times Don't Last ] and [ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ] were taken aback upon hearing this.

Then came a "You look like Building B" expression:

"There are so many Blood Corpse behind us. If you get caught and infected, are you really going to walk all the way from the Second Holy See to here?"

[ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ] nodded and added:

"Even if the Dragonborn have slightly stronger resistance, we're traveling at high speed right now. Are you really going to jump off, capture a Blood Corpse alive, and then speed back to the fortress with it?"

"If you can do that, then I will call you ' Second Holy See '."

[ With Lion Hidden in the Eyes ] he nodded and said:

"I understand what you're saying, so I've come up with a rather rough idea—"

He looked at the two of them and asked:

You guys have played Plants vs. Zombies, right?

"Do you even need to ask?"

How could there not be?

"Once you've played it, it'll make it easier for me to explain."

[ With Lion Hidden in the Eyes ] he said with a smile:

"Get a few more vines, I want to be a ' Bungee Zombie '."

There was a moment of silence on the rooftop, then the two of them simultaneously gasped in surprise.

" Lion, you're a genius!"

The exclamations of admiration traveled down the stairs to the driver's cab below. The [ Shit Appraisal Master ], busy driving the manual transmission mobile fortress, turned to look to his side and rear:

What's making you so happy?

[ The Good Times Don't Last long] He shouted loudly:

"Take it easy, we're about to start fishing!"

"Receive!"

[ The Shit Appraisal Master ] turned his attention to training the mobile fortress, while the three on the rooftop began their preparations with clear division of labor.

[ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ] unleashed its full power in Directed Alienation, almost bringing its arms together.

He then stretched his hands outwards behind the rooftop, like a small, taking shape vehicle-mounted crane.

[ Good Times Don't Last ] He inserted four vine larvae into his body, two of which were tied to the sides of [ Lion Hidden in the Eyes ]'s waist, while the other two extended from his sleeves to aid in balance and to grab the Blood Corpse.

Ordinary Low Tier Blood Corpse have relatively simple attack methods; they either grab with their hands or bite with their mouths.

These two vines will wrap around the Blood Corpse's arms, temporarily disabling their offensive capabilities.

Then, with Lion Hidden in the Eyes, he only needs to avoid one bite to grab the Blood Corpse by the neck, rendering its sharp teeth useless.

After completing the preparations for pulling the Radish, it was time for everyone to pull it upwards together.

After clarifying the process, the two, having secured the vines, looked at the [ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ] at the rear of the vehicle.

He had now become a miniature version of a vehicle-mounted crane.

Perhaps comparing it to a sea fishing rod would be more appropriate.

The lower half of the [ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ] was fixed upright on the top deck, while the upper half had already stretched backward to directly above the horde of Blood Corpse.

The straight and sturdy fishing rod even has several loops at the bottom for threading through the vines that serve as the fishing line.

Everything is ready, " Bungee Zombie " Operation Begins!
