Catherine and the old dog walked into the valley. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 Info Stiff Town is deep in the valley, and the closer you get there, the more zombies are walking around. Sometimes the zombies gather, sometimes they scatter. There is always a boss among these scattered zombies. The boss has wisdom and directs the zombies' actions.

Now a group of more than twenty zombies is walking towards Catherine and the old dog, blocking the path of the two of them accurately. The zombies scattered, surrounding Catherine and the old dog. One of them, a tall zombie in an iron hat, walked up to Catherine.

"Come-me-?" The iron-capped zombie spoke slowly, dragging out a long tail note.

"Climber, Hader, Foothold, see Mayor Mare. Catherine tried to speak as slowly and simply as she could, for fear the iron-capped zombies would not understand.

The Iron-Capped Zombie thought for a moment before he said, "Follow-I-come-." He turned and walked towards Zombie Town, where the zombies crowded around, blocking Catherine and the old dog in the middle.

The zombies walk very slowly, and they can't compare to the speed of the centaur Zombie Hard. Catherine and the old dog could only move forward slowly. Fortunately, not long after moving forward like this, a team of zombies that clearly looked like patrols appeared.

The patrol is lined up in two columns and is led by a female zombie with only one arm. They weren't slow to walk, only slightly slower than Catherine's normal walking speed.

"Stop. The one-armed female zombie stopped the iron-capped zombie, "Where are you going?"

"Sheβ€”" The iron-capped zombie pointed to the encircled Catherine and the old dog.

"New zombie?" the one-armed female zombie pushed aside the zombie horde and walked inside, "You seem to have decent intelligence, do you want to move into Zombie Town?"

"We are landers, and Harder invited us to choose Stiff Town as a place to stay. Catherine looked at the one-armed female zombie in front of her. She was not tall, with an ordinary face, her hair was gray and white tied haphazardly at the sides, and she wore a ragged dress, and she looked like a peasant girl in front of her. Her severed arm was flat and smooth, and the entire arm seemed to have been cut off.

"Deputy Mayor Harder invited you here?" the one-armed female zombie stared at Catherine for a moment, then at the old dog on the side, "I'm the captain of the Seventh Patrol in Zombie Town, you can call me Aina." Come with me first. ”

The 7th Patrol team drove away the Iron Hat Zombies and continued their patrol mission. Aina walked alone with Catherine and the old dog in the direction of Stiff Town. Along the way, the roaming zombies become scarce, and other patrols can occasionally be seen walking by in the distance.

Seeing the buildings of Stiff Town appear in front of her, Aina turned left and walked towards a stone house on the side of the mountain. The stone houses Catherine had noticed earlier that they were scattered along the edge of the valley along the road, and zombies could occasionally be seen coming in and out. Most of the stone houses are very simple in appearance, made of large mountain stones, with sharp edges and corners.

However, Aina's stone house is a little different, it seems to have been carefully designed, the doors and windows are relatively well placed, and even the courtyard wall is built in front of the door. Catherine felt that the stone house had the feel of a human habitation. Step into the house and let in some light from the window. Although it is still dark, you can see the furnishings, including stone tables, stone chairs, and stone beds. There were a few insects of unknown name crawling on the wall, glowing like fireflies. An arm hung there, as if it were a sword, an axe, or something similar. Catherine couldn't help but think that the arm that Aina had lost couldn't be the same.

The captain of the 7th Patrol sat down on a stone bench. "You shouldn't have come, at least not at this time. She said.

"Why?" the mage didn't find a second chair, and sat down on the edge of the bed. The old dog stood in the doorway, keeping an eye on the inside and outside of the house.

"Harder's authority is not recognized, and now Stiff Town is controlled by Deputy Mayor Alba. There was a hidden message in Aina's words.

"Another deputy mayor?" Catherine grasped the key, "why not the mayor?"

"Mayor Mare is gone, heading to Skyscraper to challenge into the Second Plain. Aina shook her head and said, "Whether Mayor Mare succeeds or fails, he won't be coming back." So Rigid Town needs a new mayor, and one of the two deputy mayors will become the new mayor. ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived in Stiff Town, she was involved in the struggle for power, and Catherine sighed secretly.

"So you're supporting Harder to become the new mayor?" the captain of the Seventh Patrol in front of him wouldn't tell him these things for no reason, Catherine asked bluntly.

"I'm just neutral, and it's none of what the deputy mayor can do to become the new mayor. "But I don't want your presence to cause unnecessary fighting, and Deputy Mayor Harder still has some supporters in the town." If they knew that Hader had invited you here, they would have taken the opportunity to attack Alba. This is bound to erupt in infighting, and I don't want to see internal friction in Stiff Town for this kind of thing. ”

"What do you want us to do?"

"Leave Rigid Town and go to other forces to develop. ”

Catherine was silent for a moment and said, "Impossible. We've come here with a long time, and we may not be able to find any other place to stay now. I'm going to meet Alba, but I'm just here as a normal lander and has nothing to do with Hader. ”

"If you insist, I won't stop you. Aina stood up, "Alba is in the old house in town, I'm going to continue patrolling." ”

Aina is gone. Catherine and the old dog were left in the stone house. The old dog said, "Overseer, would you like to consider going to Harder first, and if we tell Hardtown about Hardtown, Harder will be grateful to us." That way he can be prepared. ”

"Harder may not have known that Alba was in control of Stiff Town. That Aina also said that there were Harder's supporters in the town. They will definitely inform Harder. We may be too late to go to him now, and it doesn't make much sense. Catherine beckoned the old dog on his way, "It's better to meet Alba, he won't refuse a lander's choice of Stiff Town as a foothold." ”

The architecture of Rigid Town is similar to that of a human town, except that the houses in the town are very old and dilapidated. Catherine and the old dog walked around the town and couldn't find the so-called old mansion at all. Because every house looks so old and so dilapidated.

Walking to the middle of the town, there stands a guillotine. There is a zombie with a white beard dozing off the guillotine, his head swaying as if he would fall off the guillotine at any moment. As soon as the female mage walked up to him, the whitebearded zombie suddenly sat up straight. He tilted his head and listened for a while, saying, "It's strangers, you're not the zombies of the town. Where did you come from and where are you going?"

Catherine discovers that the old zombie is actually invisible, and is completely recognizable by hearing.

"We are island setters and have chosen Stiff Town as our foothold. We're going to see the mayor. (To be continued.) )
