Fang Xile sat in the quiet room, trying to clear his mind.

First, the map was changed, and the suspect painter disappeared for a month, and the clues that he finally found were killed in the prison.

Next, Pei Shaoyuan was led out of Xichuan City, and the entire county town was shrouded in formations, unable to enter and exit.

And all this is to allow the living dead to enter Xichuan City.

The enemy walked ahead of them every step of the way, as if their every move could be detected by the enemy.

Fang Xile frowned, there must be their spies in the palace.

Pei Shaoyuan and Zhou Yongxian in the palace are absolutely credible, they and Qin Yuchuan are both prosperous and lossy, and their lives are completely tied to him alone, and there is no possibility of betrayal.

If Qin Yuchuan died, they wouldn't be able to live.

So who is this person?

Fang Xile tried to recall every face in the county king's mansion, one by one, some people have no motive, some people have no ability, except for all the wrong answers, no matter how bizarre the remaining one is, it is the right solution.

Could it be him?

But how is that possible?

A knock on the door interrupted Fang Xile's thoughts, and Cheng Jiangyan stood outside the house.

"Sister, when are we leaving?"

The living dead first appeared in the north of the city, and the passage must also be in the north of the city.

Fang Xile planned to take Cheng Jiangyan and Jin Guangyao with him.

Fang Xile pondered and asked, "How is the situation outside now?"

Cheng Jiangyan shook his head: "It's very chaotic, the prince ordered the martial artists to clear the living dead, bring back the survivors, and ordinary people to collect food." Now we are not short of food, but there is a big problem with helping the survivors. ”

"What's going on?"

"Quite a few of the survivors were injured. ”

Fang Xile understood, the injured people would definitely not be accepted by the palace, and would even be killed directly, and these people would definitely not be captured obediently.

It's not okay to let them kill the dead, but it's okay to do sabotage.

If you don't let me in and hide, you don't want to live.

It is estimated that there are not a few people who have such thoughts.

Fang Xile was silent for a while, and changed the subject: "How many people have been rescued?"

"Thousands, now every room in the palace is crowded, and then you have to live outside. ”

Fang Xile frowned, a few thousand people seemed like a lot, but compared to the 100,000 people in Xichuan County, it was just a drop in the bucket.

If these people can fight, many of them will faint when they see the living dead, and they are too afraid to move, so that they can really fight more than a hundred people, and a hundred people against tens of thousands of living dead, the odds of winning are very low.

"By the way, I've heard that the Scorpion Gang has also rescued a lot of people. Cheng Jiangyan said.

Fang Xile nodded, the Flying Scorpion Gang has Yuan Zhan in charge, there shouldn't be much of a problem.

It's a pity that the palace is in the east of the city, and the Scorpion Gang is in the west of the city, otherwise they can unite and defend against the living dead.

"Prepare yourself, we'll go early tomorrow morning. ”

Fang Xile thought for a while and said, in the last days, zombies will be extremely active at night, I don't know if the living dead are like this, it is best not to go out at night.

She and Cheng Jiangyan walked out of the gate, and the people living in this small courtyard were all from the Xuanyin Division, Jin Guangyao, and the members of the branch all went out to save people, leaving only Liu Yulan sitting at the stone table, dazed.

"What's wrong?" Fang Xile stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Liu Yulan's eyes: "Don't be afraid, there are so many people guarding the palace, there will be no accidents." ”

Liu Yulan shook her head and smiled reluctantly: "I'm not worried about this. ”

Fang Xile gave her a puzzled look, Liu Yulan lowered her head, her expression gloomy: "Miss, do you think Ge Lang will also be in those, those ......"

She couldn't go any further, Gerten had returned to Bugu County before he disappeared, and soon after that there were living dead people in the village.

Most likely, he became one of the living dead.

Fang Xile sighed, patted her shoulder and did not speak, and the two fell silent for a while.

At this time, it is close to dusk, and the search and rescue team will arrive at the palace.

With exhaustion and confusion and fear on their faces, they silently wiped the weapons in their hands, and tomorrow they will go out to fight, and the weapons must not rust and curl blades.

In the hall, She Shibin was reporting today's casualties.

Or that death situations, after all, injuries, mean mutations.

"There are five people who died, and most of the living dead are only a little stronger than ordinary people, but some of the living dead have reached the innate level, and in the future, there must be innate martial artists in each team to be insured. ”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"In addition, at the beginning, it was rare to see the living dead at the congenital level, but then I don't know if it was an illusion, but I think there are more people at the innate level. ”

The faces of the officials of Xichuan County were not good, which verified Fang Xile's guess that the living dead would continue to grow stronger.

How did they get stronger?

If there is no restraint, will there be a grandmaster-level living dead in the future?

Qin Yuchuan thought for a moment and said, "Give the corpse of the living dead to the servant, and let him check what weaknesses this monster has." ”

Fang Xile suddenly said, "It's better for me to come!"

Everyone was a little surprised, Fang Xile would still do the work of the work, Jiang Weiguo smiled contemptuously, the executioner, the work of the workman and the shouyizhuang are all bad luck, only the next person will do it.

Fang Xile glanced at Zhou Yongxian and said with a smile: "Of course I will, Zhou Guard can testify, he has seen my ability with his own eyes." ”

Zhou Yongxian smiled and nodded: "Yes, I'll be the guarantor." ”

There was no objection from the crowd.

After everyone dispersed, Fang Xile went to the backyard, where the living dead were parked, their heads had been cut off, and their heads and bodies were put aside.

Fang Xile broke open the head of the living dead and examined it carefully with disgust.

It didn't take long to find what I was looking for.

A hard stone the size of a grain of rice is glowing white in the palm of your hand.

I didn't expect that the ugly living dead could pull out such a beautiful thing in their brains, which is also an irony.

Fang Xile squeezed hard, the stone turned into powder, and a faint aura floated out of it.

Crystal nucleus?

Then the living dead are probably the same as written, the larger the crystal nucleus, the stronger the stool, and they can become stronger by devouring the crystal nuclei in the brains of the same kind.

Fang Xile was thoughtful, I don't know what will happen to people who eat this thing?

Her eyes lit up, if people can also improve if they eat it, then it makes sense, the mysterious force has wasted so much strength, and it does not hesitate to use a large array to surround Xichuan County, and what she wants is probably the crystal nucleus.

But the facts still have to be verified

In line with the principle that what the enemy wants must not be given, Fang Xile immediately reported his discovery to Qin Yuchuan.

Immediately, an order spread throughout the palace, after killing the living dead, hand over the crystal nucleus in the brain in exchange for silver taels.

Many people showed excited expressions on their faces and were eager to try.

At this time, the sentry suddenly came to report.

"Lord, it's not good! It's not good! There are a large number of living dead people rushing here!"
