Global Dungeon: I Can See the Status Bar

Chapter 147: Chapter 103: This Puppet Apostle… Damn, Schemer!

Someone suddenly spoke up: “Do you think there’s a possibility, hmm… I’m not being an alarmist, I’m saying possibly, that the Life Apostle… was also killed by that arrogant Violent Dragon? Actually, he didn’t go to the War Realm?”

“What are you thinking?”

“Impossible, absolutely impossible!”

“Pure nonsense!”

“I think you’ve gone senile!”

The originally quiet conference room suddenly became a bit chaotic, with countless people glaring angrily, expressing their indignation and disdain, and eager to distance themselves from this person.

However…

Whether they truly believed it was not credible or simply did not want to admit this had happened was quite intriguing.

If they truly admitted it, wouldn’t it just prove that they had been wasting their efforts for the past three days?

And being played like puppets by the other party?

So, many times, even if everyone implicitly understands something, it’s an absolute taboo to mention it.

Just like the famous saying—afraid that Feiyangyang will see it, yet afraid Pleasant Goat won’t see it.

Same principle.

Generally, at such times, someone needs to stand up and introduce a new topic to tactfully change the subject.

Thus, the elderly decision-making group in the highest conference room immediately tacitly dropped the issue regarding the “Violent Dragon suspected of killing the Life Apostle” and shifted to a new agenda.

Spark Base Defense Enhancement Plan.

The decision-makers swiftly rescinded combat orders for several elite units, moving them into defensive positions, awaiting the next combat mission.

On the surface, it was said to prepare for the so-called Apostle’s plan to decapitate the leadership.

In reality, everyone knew who it was actually meant to guard against.

Everyone’s understanding was unspoken.

…

A few days later, the couple crossed into the former Life Realm and successfully stepped into the Puppet Apostle’s dominion.

Old City.

It is said to have been one of the largest and most prosperous cities of a major country before the World War.

However, at this time, the Old City was extremely quiet, without even a hint of the hustle and bustle from before the war, everything was silent, except for the slow walking sounds of a few pedestrians.

The once sky-high skyscrapers have peeled and faded away.

The dirty and chaotic city streets were filled with signs of plant invasion.

It looked like no one had cleaned or lived here for a long time.

In stark contrast to the War Apostle’s area, which was outdated but teeming with life.

Just four words—deathly stillness.

“Mao Mao, do you smell anything?” Lu Wenwu inquired.

Mao Mao sniffed carefully a few times and shook his head: “A lot of people, and the smell of decay.”

Lan Shan blinked in confusion, not speaking.

Gazing at the deadly still city, Lu Wenwu rubbed his temples in distress.

According to the previous information obtained from Zhao Lixing…

The only information was no information, because currently, the Salvation Army knows zero about the Puppet Apostle.

No one has ever confronted the true body of the Puppet Apostle, not even once.

Nobody even knows what his identity was before the World War.

Naturally, no one knows where the Puppet Apostle’s main base actually is.

And according to Zhao Lixing, the populace in the Puppet Realm are transformed into strange beings with incredible strength, no weak points, acting on instinct, and can regenerate even if their heads are blown apart.

When these Human Puppets see humans, in most cases, they will emit a meaningless roar, sometimes staying silent, the specific reason remains unknown.

Currently, it can be confirmed that these Human Puppets only rely on sensory abilities similar to the average adult human male’s hearing, vision, and smell for enemy seeking, possessing no other superpowers.

Due to their incredible self-healing and regenerative capabilities, it’s easy for the Salvation Army to shoot them, but it’s purely a waste of ammunition.

Therefore, the Salvation Army seldom takes action against the Puppet Realm, generally opting to confront the weakest War Apostle.

The traits described by Zhao Lixing indeed resemble those of puppets.

Lu Wenwu recalled dealing with Blood and Flesh Puppets in the Wasteland Ghost Shadow Dungeon before, which were parasitized by Ghostly Creatures.

It’s very similar to the current situation.

With Mao Mao leading, the duo and the dog lightly walked along the desolate street toward the place where the “human” scent was most concentrated.

Soon, they finally saw the Human Puppet that Zhao Lixing described as like undead monsters.

It was a nearly unclothed sexy lady, with dry blonde hair and blue-white exposed skin, encrusted with large chunks of reddish-brown blood.

If one ignores the rotting down to bare bones left side forearm, the scene has a unique post-apocalyptic wasteland beauty.

After all, there would be no blonde women streaking down the street in broad daylight on Blue Star.

Now, this beauty was just as Zhao Lixing described, emitting a meaningless roar, stumbling toward Lu Wenwu and the others.

Lan Shan saw a trace of confusion and struggle in the opponent’s cloudy blue eyes, but more of it was bloodthirst and slaughter.

At this moment, Lu Wenwu, having activated the Eye of Insight, had an expression that grew slightly bizarre.

“What the hell is this puppet! It’s just a zombie!” someone muttered a curse, unsure how to feel, “Doesn’t this world even have zombie-themed works? The imagination is indeed a bit lacking.”
