Chapter 143: A Windfall

(Read the full text without pop-ups)

A narrow corner door to the north of the temple opened silently. [.starter]

With a shield in her left hand and a sword in her right, Angelina walked silently out of the corner door with her feet on the ground.

Chu Lingfeng carried a spear and followed behind Angelina. Li Qing held a knight's short sword, carried a bow and arrows, walked behind Chu Lingfeng, guarding the back road.

Angelina was wearing a mask, and Li Qing and Chu Lingfeng were also wearing the masks provided by Angelina. The trio covered their mouths and noses with masks, and their breathing was so small that as long as the living corpses weren't too close to them, they couldn't hear their breathing.

Chu Lingfeng's backpack had been discarded, and his luggage was stored in Li Qing's storage bag. Li Qing's backpack was also thrown away, and all the useful things were put into the storage bag.

The storage bag that Su Su gave him, although the space inside is not particularly large, it is also the size of a suitcase. It was more than enough to fit his and Chu Lingfeng's luggage.

Before leaving, Angelina, who had been to Mulan City many times and was familiar with the situation in Mulan City, had formulated a route of action. After leaving the temple, they will head north, through the aristocratic district north of Mulan City.

The population density of the aristocratic district is much smaller than that of other areas. Comparatively speaking, the number of living corpses is somewhat smaller.

However, Angelina can't guarantee that there will be fewer living corpses in the aristocratic district than in the rest of the districts.

Because living corpses like to wander constantly, they are easily disturbed by abnormal noises and follow the sound. Therefore, it is not fixed in a certain area. Whether there really aren't many living corpses in the aristocratic district still needs a bit of luck.

Before leaving the temple, the three of them deliberately made a loud noise on the south side of the temple. They banged on their shields, shouted, and bombarded the ground, making all sorts of noises that attracted most of the living corpses around the temple to the south of the temple.

After that, the three of them gathered all their voices and came to the north side of the temple, using this corner gate on the north side as a breakthrough.

Attracted by the noise made by the three of them in the south, most of the living corpses outside the corner gate in the north were scattered. Outside the corner gate, there were only dozens of living corpses left, seemingly wandering around.

All three of them knew very well that the staggering of the living corpse was just a façade. As soon as they are alarmed, they will immediately turn into flying men, throw off their arms and run for their lives.

Out of the corner gate, the three of them avoided the dozens of living corpses outside the corner gate, and walked quickly across the street outside the corner gate. After that, the three of them plunged headlong into an alley and made a quick move towards the north.

There are many forks in this alley, which lead in all directions like cobwebs. This complex terrain is very dangerous for ordinary people. Once you suddenly encounter a living corpse, you may have nowhere to run.

But for Li Qing and the others, this kind of terrain is very favorable. Because they are not afraid of a few living corpses, but only of the living corpse frenzy. The topography of the alley limits the size of the living corpses. There were not many living corpses swimming inside, and they could not pose a threat to Li Qing and the others.

The three of them walked quickly in the alley, all of them walking lightly like civets, and landing silently. When they walked quickly, the three of them did not say a word, and when they needed to communicate, they only communicated with their eyes and gestures.

Along the way, when encountering living corpses, the three of them avoided them. The alleys that extend in all directions give them a lot of choice. If one road doesn't work, another one is. They won't kill the living corpse lightly unless they have to.

And once it is necessary to kill a living corpse, Angelina or Li Qing will simply kill the living corpse with a single blow, so that it cannot make too much noise. As for the smaller movements, they don't matter too much. The environment of the alley makes it impossible for small sounds to be transmitted to the outside. The walls are enough to dispel the slightest sound.

Ten minutes later, the three of them walked out of an alley and came to a wide avenue.

On the other side of the road is the aristocratic quarter.

On the avenue, there were more than a dozen living corpses wandering on the ground. Judging from the clothes on their bodies, there were guards, servants, and nobles.

The three of them avoided the sight of the dozen or so living corpses, crossed the avenue, and entered the aristocratic quarter.

The city of Mulan was the capital of the Duchy of Turan, and a large number of nobles lived in the city. Some territorial nobles also bought land and built houses in Mulan City. He usually lives in the castle of his own territory, and occasionally comes to Mulan City to live for a while.

Therefore, the area of the aristocratic district is very large, enough to be half of the total area of Mulan City.

The streets of the aristocratic district are wider than the ones that have been passed before. The houses are tall and ornate with deep courtyards.

Some aristocratic courtyards were enclosed by brick and stone courtyard walls, while others were only erected with a white wooden fence. There were also aristocratic nobles who were rich at first sight, and the vast courtyard was surrounded by iron fences, and the villas in the courtyard were built like small castles, strong and tall.

The architectural characteristics of the aristocratic district make the aristocratic population density much smaller than that of other areas. A nobleman, even if you count the servants and guards in the family, the population density is still much sparser than that of the civilian area, commercial area and other areas.

The three of them walked in the aristocratic area, and most of the time, they jumped directly into the aristocratic courtyard and passed through the aristocratic courtyard. Along the way, only a few dozen living corpses were encountered.

Seeing that there were really few living corpses in the aristocratic area, Li Qing and the three of them felt lucky. I don't feel like I'm feeling relaxed.

On weekdays, trespassing into the courtyard of the nobility without permission is equivalent to invading the territory of the nobility. If he is caught, he can be hanged without trial. But now, not to mention the aristocratic courtyard, if you have time, you can enter the treasure room of the aristocratic family casually.

If he hadn't been in a hurry to get out of the city, and he didn't know if there were powerful living corpses hidden in the homes of the nobles of Ludao, Li Qing really wanted to rush into the treasure room of the nobles to collect it.

While walking on the road, Li Qing picked up a knight's long sword, a black iron round shield with a diameter of about half a meter.

The knight's long sword, which has a wide blade, is very heavy, and although it does not have a blade, it can easily tear through the human body and cut bones. The thick black iron round shield is also very handy, which can be used both for defense and for smashing people.

Although this sword and shield are not the enchanted weapons in Li Qing's fantasy, they are also real knight equipment. At that moment, Li Qing put on the long sword and round shield and put away the short sword.

Passing through a noble courtyard again, the three of them came to a street. There was a carriage lying upside down in front of it, and on the ground next to the carriage, a black wooden box had fallen. A few gold coins landed next to the wooden box, and through the half-open lid, you could see that the box was full of gold coins. In the afternoon sun, those yellow gold coins exude an alluring light.

Seeing the wooden box, Li Qing immediately raised his eyebrows, and smiled in his heart: "As I expected, you don't need to go into the nobleman's house to rummage, you can pick up gold on the road!" ”

Li Qing was happy in his heart, and Angelina, who also saw the box of gold coins, only glanced at the box of gold coins lightly, and walked straight past the carriage. It's like treating gold and silver like dung.

Before the outbreak of the plague, Angelina would not have turned a blind eye to a box full of gold coins. Even if she is a young lady from a big aristocratic family, so many gold coins are almost her pocket money for a year or two.

If she could see so many gold coins before the plague broke out, Angelina would have run over happily and picked up all the gold coins with her hands and feet.

But now, in Angelina's eyes, a box full of gold coins is not as valuable as a bag of jerky.

Gold, jewelry, jewelry, beautiful clothes, expensive perfumes...... The things which had once been pleasing to the noble ladies were now worthless, and could no longer arouse her the slightest interest.

Angelina walked past the carriage without stopping. Chu Lingfeng also walked over with a look of disdain - this eldest lady is the one who really treats money like dung, or rather, has no concept of wealth at all. Even if she puts a mountain of gold in front of her, she is afraid that she will have to ask: Liancheng wealth, mountains and red gold, I only ask one sentence, can it become a golden pill?

The two eldest ladies were disdainful of the gold coins, and the box full of gold coins was, of course, Li Qingxiao's acceptance.

He followed behind Chu Lingfeng, and when he walked through the carriage, he bent down slightly, stretched out his hand, and scooped up the box of gold coins. At the same time, with extremely fast hand speed, he picked up a few scattered gold coins scattered next to the box.

Picking up the gold coin, Li Qing picked up the box, which was very heavy, and he was afraid that it would not be less than fifteen kilograms.

Li Qing secretly pondered: "With the recent gold market, such a box of gold must be worth at least three or four million!" Ha Luha, now developed, after going back, I can be a local tyrant in front of Su Su...... Well, no, that's not enough. I have to pick up more points, and strive to pick up another hundred kilograms of gold. At that time, Su Su wants to buy a luxury car, and I will be able to buy her a luxury car. If I want to buy a villa, I can buy a villa for her...... Hey hey ......"

He fantasized about spending a lot of money in front of Su Su, and put a box of gold coins into the storage bag.

After that, Li Qing was engrossed, his eyes swept around like searchlights, trying to pick up another pile of gold.

However, his fortune seemed to run out for a while, and for a long time he was unable to pick up anything of value.

After a while, the three of them jumped over a row of wooden fences and came to a noble garden.

When passing through a dense bush, suddenly, the wind sounded, and a living corpse jumped out of the bushes and pounced viciously at Chu Lingfeng.

Ordinary living corpses are not as intelligent or cunning as a living corpse warlock, but they will instinctively choose the weakest enemies to attack. So among the three, Chu Lingfeng, who was currently the weakest, took this living corpse as a prey.

Angelina was startled, and was about to help, when she suddenly saw Chu Lingfeng pick it out with a shot, hitting the neck of the living corpse. Then she used her strength to pick it up, and with the power of the living corpse's leap, she picked the living corpse out of the way several meters away. After the living corpse landed, it was motionless, and black blood with white flower brains flowed out of its ears, but it had been shattered by Chu Lingfeng with the power of the stab.

Angelina glanced at Chu Lingfeng in surprise, but saw Chu Lingfeng's indifferent face, as if this matter was not worth mentioning at all. Only then did she realize that Chu Lingfeng, who seemed to be weak, also had a not weak ability to protect himself.

Giving Chu Lingfeng a thumbs up, Angelina didn't delay any longer and continued to open the way ahead.

Li Qing frowned, and his mood was a little heavy.

Before, when he first left the temple, he had a faint feeling that his perception did not seem to be very good for living corpses.

On the living corpse, there seemed to be some kind of strength that shielded his spiritual perception.

Li Qing pondered, maybe it was the strength of the plague virus. Maybe it's because the living corpse has no soul and can't emit mental fluctuations to be perceived by him, so the spiritual perception is ineffective.

With the five senses, the air is full of the smell of rotting corpses, and it is difficult to distinguish the smell of individual living corpses. Living corpses don't breathe, so they can't be heard.

It is impossible to perceive the mental fluctuations of a living corpse, nor can it distinguish the smell of a single living corpse, nor can it hear the breathing of a living corpse...... Once the living corpse hides in a hidden place like the previous living corpse hiding in the bushes, it will launch a surprise attack...... That's a bit of a hard time to guard.

Ordinary living corpses are okay, even Chu Lingfeng can be killed with one shot. But what about a living corpse warlock?

Therefore, Li Qing felt that in this environment full of living corpses, he was really very passive, and danger was really everywhere.

"If you don't have the protection of the temple, it's better to get out of the city quickly."

After realizing this, Li Qing completely gave up the idea of making a fortune and was engrossed in watching his surroundings, only thinking about getting out of the city quickly and leaving this dangerous place that could kill them at any time.
