Chapter 1286: Chapter 1286
Next up were the Chaotic Burial Ground and the Cemetery, where the two sisters came with Du You to inspect the construction. But when the zombies started appearing, they kept their distance.
There was no choice, skeletons were somewhat tolerable, but zombies were truly unbearable for women.
Chaotic Burial Ground (tier five):
Corpse Carriage, level 40: 400 units/month, full price 230 yellow Crystal Coins each
Zombie Giant, level 47: 100 units/month, full price 320 blue Crystal Coins each (+100%)
Half-Body Zombie, level 49: 80 units/month, full price 400 blue Crystal Coins each (+100%)
Cemetery (tier five): Auxiliary building for zombie types, increases the production of zombie branch of the armed forces by 50%
Produces 5,000 tier-three regular zombies daily.
As an auxiliary building for zombie types, the Cemetery could only be constructed after building facilities specific to zombies. However, its function was indeed powerful, directly increasing output by fifty percent, which was not a small number.
Including the previously mentioned territorial feature that boosted production by fifty percent, the output of zombie types effectively doubled. The +100% behind the Zombie Giant and Half-Body Zombie indicated as much.
Originally, one could produce a hundred Zombie Giants each month, but now that number had doubled to two hundred per month.
The most crucial aspect was that the Cemetery had no level, meaning even higher-level zombie facilities could benefit from the increased production. Du You was considering whether to turn the territory into one primarily focused on zombies.
But then Du You shook his head, the vast numbers of zombies likewise made his skin crawl. There was always something unnaturally odd about zombies, and being in close proximity to them for too long could make one feel unwell.
Yet the number of zombies was still quite significant, with three thousand tier-three zombies produced daily, which troubled Du You.
If these zombies were used for sacrificial summoning, they indeed represented a massive source of the undead. But considering his current guardian of the Dragon Tomb was only tier four, using a vast number of tier-three zombies for summoning seemed wasteful. He decided to save them for now, waiting until his summoned guardian of the Dragon Tomb reached tier five before using them.
Regardless, in this world, fifty thousand tier-three zombies had more value than a single tier-four guardian of the Dragon Tomb. In a direct confrontation, fifty thousand tier-three zombies could overwhelm a guardian of the Dragon Tomb.
Not everyone could disregard numbers like Du You, whose existence was an extremely rare phenomenon.
Next were the qualities of the zombie army branches. "Let me take a look—hey, you two, don’t go away," Du You called out to the two sisters while selecting the troops, but they walked further away, clearly detesting the zombies.
Du You did not insist, simply shaking his head and then continued inspecting his zombie troops. The rıghtful source is 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⚫𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦⚫𝘯𝘦𝘵
The Corpse Carriage was first to appear, looking like a massive dumpster truck, only it was loaded with many corpses. Two three-meter-tall zombies were shackled and bound to the Corpse Carriage.
This was the power source for the Corpse Carriage, which moved entirely by the dragging of these two zombies.
There was also a small zombie merged with the Corpse Carriage, manipulated by some unknown means to control the Corpse Carriage in battle.
The Corpse Carriage was tier three, at the peak of its tier, and its primary function was the transport and preservation of corpses. Despite the vehicle’s modest size, the Corpse Carriage could transport a vast number of corpses.
Its combat method involved launching corpses, which exploded upon impact, a result of a Corpse Explosion magic applied to them. Thus, although the Corpse Carriage was not very agile, its attack power was formidable. A group of them attacking together could even exceed tiers to kill a tier-four powerhouse.
However, for Du You, the primary interest lay in its ability to transport corpses, making it an excellent helper for clearing battlefields.
Next were the Zombie Giants, at level 47. These undead creatures were not low in production yet not expensive. Among similar tier troops, they were definitely cost-effective, though slightly lacking in combat power.
The main issue was that these undead troops had simple minds, devoid of thoughtful reasoning or adaptability.
In practice, Du You discovered that these creatures had decent combat capabilities. These gigantic zombies, standing over four meters tall, possessed immense strength. Wrapped in chains, wielding two large cleavers as weapons, the chains offered some defense and could also retrieve the thrown cleavers.
Lastly were the Half-Body Zombies, even higher level than the Zombie Giants. After summoning, Du You found that the so-called Half-Body Zombies had no lower half, only the upper body, which was even larger than that of the Zombie Giants. Their palms had completely transformed, resembling monstrous claws.
Limited to crawling on the ground with their hands, they were slower and more sluggish in response than the Zombie Giants. However, their defense and strength far exceeded that of the Zombie Giants.
Their sole ranged attack method was throwing stones, making this type quite formidable as a meat shield, though less effective in combat.
Thinking about it, Du You’s gaze moved to the city wall. "It seems the best place for these Half-Body Zombies is atop the city wall or in the underground Skeleton Swamp. Here, they don’t need much mobility; just combat power is sufficient."
It had to be said, undead creatures, while cost-effective, always had various flaws. Having these troops was inescapable for him, thankfully his territory had a special feature that turned slain undead into an equivalent amount of Crystal Coins. If managed well, perhaps his territory’s creation of troops wouldn’t just break even but could actually turn a hefty profit.
That said, such considerations were for the future. Among these undead, few were clever, none capable of helping him manage the territory. It was yet to be seen if a tier-six type might emerge.
Finally, after observing the regular tier-three zombies produced by the Cemetery, Du You left the place.
Those regular zombies were truly ordinary, no different from a person long dead, and in terms of combat, they were similar to standard zombies. "So, next up is the final new building. Aren’t you two going to come have a look?"
Du You appealed to the sisters, but it was clear they refused. "We’ll pass, we have no interest in the undead," given the sisters’ professions, their initial instinct upon seeing undead was to destroy them.
Keeping residence here was only due to Du You as their host. If not for his presence, there was no way the sisters would stay in such a place.
