The tide of battle erupted on the tenth day.
Many players noticed that in the last couple of days, there had suddenly been an influx of strange NPCs on the battlefield.
They wore orange hazmat suits with black gas masks on their heads, and never engaged in conversation with anyone. Typically, in groups of two, they carried a stretcher between them, and in groups of three or five, they would move Variant corpses away from the battlefield, keeping busy from morning until sunset.
These NPCs were highly efficient; a pair could transport four hundred to five hundred bodies in a day. It was clear they were old hands at this kind of work.
Some observant players even saw that each of them had a KV-1 Exoskeleton?
Although this was the base model without welded steel plates or mounted weapons, it would still cost 800 silver coins in an NPC shop, the equivalent of four LD-47 rifles.
