The phoenix's deep gaze cast a dark shadow under the scorching sun. Under the gaze of his eyes, Shen Yan'er's open mouth could no longer be closed, and everything from her throat to her body seemed to freeze and she could no longer move.

Shen Yan'er thought that she could tear apart the mask of Phoenix Ke's hypocrisy, but she didn't expect to be so shocked that she couldn't speak after hearing the faint "I have".

"Although Su Die's identity must not be exposed, just to help her keep a secret, there is really no need to cruelly sacrifice the lives of more than 20 people in the Shen family......" Phoenix Ke actually knew his cruelty. Shen Yan'er stared at him, not knowing whether she was angry or sad, and couldn't hold back her whole body trembling slightly.

"At the beginning, I asked you to leave the palace and sent someone to spy on you, indeed to find a person you care about the most as a hostage in the Shen family, and to control you through guò hostages, so that you don't dare to reveal Su Die's identity. But...... Later, an accident happened...... "Recalling the events of that day, Phoenix Ke couldn't help but sigh.

"It happened...... What accident? Shen Yan'er asked stiffly, so nervous that her throat was about to petrify. Yu'er beside her also seemed to have a premonition that she would hear a terrible story next, and subconsciously gently hugged Shen Yan'er's warm body.

"The person who was ordered to spy on you is Su Die." Feng Feng Ke continued, "She sneaked into Shen's house and secretly monitored your relationship with your family, which originally went very smoothly, but ...... Suddenly someone spotted her......"

This is the fuse that led the Shen family to be destroyed.

"That person is Aqiao. Ah Qiao saw Su Die lying on the roof dressed in black, her behavior was very suspicious, thinking that she was some kind of thief, so he climbed on the roof to catch her. But how can Su Die be a woman who will be easily captured? The two of them punched and kicked each other, and in the chaos, Su Die accidentally pushed Ah Qiao off the roof, and Ah Qiao was thrown to death like this......"

"You're lying!" Hearing this, Shen Yan'er couldn't help but shout to interrupt Feng Feng Ke's nonsense, "I saw Ah Qiao that night, he didn't fall to his death, he became a walking corpse!" He was killed by you! ”

"He did fall to his death, and it was because he fell to his death that he became a walking corpse." Phoenix's solemn voice strongly covered Shen Yan'er's questioning, and instantly took back the initiative to speak in his hands again.

"Why?" Shen Yan'er was stunned, and glared at Phoenix Ke angrily and suspiciously, "If it wasn't for being bitten by a poisonous bat, how could he become a walking corpse?" ”

In Shen Yan'er's cognition, there are only two reasons why people become walking corpses, one is to be bitten by walking corpses, and the other is to be bitten by poisonous bats. She had never heard that people who fell to their deaths could become walking corpses, so she subconsciously only regarded Phoenix Ke's words as a big lie.

However, Phoenix Ke stared at Shen Yan'er, who had become flustered because of confusion, with a stern gaze. After a short pause, Phoenix Ke lowered his voice and asked, "Do you know the reason why all show girls can't leave the palace after entering the palace?" ”

"Because...... After the show girl dies, she will become a walking corpse......" After saying this answer, Shen Yan'er's mind instantly became confused.

Phoenix Ke is indeed not lying, there is still a third way to turn people into walking corpses in this world - turning into walking corpses after death.

However, the reason why the show girls turn into walking corpses after death is because they inhale the poisonous ever-bright lamp gas in the mass grave. Aqiao had never been to a mass grave, so why did he become a walking corpse when he died?

"Because he is also infected by the poison of the walking dead, and he is not infected by burning the lamp oil. When he was infected, there was no such lamp oil in the world. Phoenix Ke calmly said to a conclusion, his eyes staring straight into Shen Yan'er's eyes.

"How do you know when he got infected? How did he get infected? Shen Yan'er panicked and asked again and again.

Phoenix Ke sighed softly and said, "The poison of the walking corpse gradually evolves from weak to strong over time. The first person to be bitten by a walking corpse does not necessarily die, and the survivor becomes a poisoner, not only becoming a walking corpse after death, but also unconsciously passing the poison on to others. Later, the toxicity progressed to the point that if bitten you were certain to die—that's what you've seen in mass graves. ”

Speaking of this, Feng Feng Ke's gaze suddenly became extremely cold, and his tone instantly cooled: "Since Ah Qiao is infected, then other people in the Shen family may also be infected." Once the walking corpse breaks out among the people, you should know better than I know what kind of tragedy it will be. ”

Hearing this, Shen Yan'er's mind immediately appeared with a bloody picture of the walking corpse eating people in the mass grave. If the walking dead break out among the people, the consequences are simply unimaginable......

"A person who has not been bitten, but has been infected with the poison of the walking corpse in some other way, there is no way to find out whether they are poisoned unless they die. In order not to let go of any threat, if you were me, you would make the same decision. ”

I won't! Shen Yan'er wanted to roar loudly and cut off Phoenix Ke's self-righteous judgment. But for some reason, there was no sound coming out of his choked throat. Perhaps, deep down, even she doesn't know if she really can't.

"You should understand my plight by now, right?" Phoenix Ke moved his gaze into the distance, looking at the palace walls and glazed tiles that stretched outward one by one, and said thoughtfully, "Later, I checked on Aqiao, he was just an ordinary farmer's son, and he had no chance to come into contact with the poison of the walking corpse. He's just been infected......"

Shen Yan'er subconsciously hugged Yu'er in her arms, afraid that she would lose her only relative. Yu'er, who didn't know anything about walking corpses, couldn't understand what Feng Feng Ke was saying at all, but from Shen Yan'er's expression, she could understand that he was talking about a very terrible thing.

"The only thing I can be sure of now is ......" Phoenix Ke's voice was so soft that it seemed to be speaking to himself, "There is a person in the Shen family who has always carried the poison of the walking corpse on his body. During the time spent with the Shen family, he slowly passed the poison to other people. However, maybe even the person himself didn't know that he was a drug carrier......"

"You always say 'contagion', but how is it contagious?" Shen Yan'er asked anxiously. She was eager to know how the Walking Corpse Poison was transmitted, so that she could determine if she was infected or not.

"The known way is to pass guò blood. For example, if a person with drugs is injured, the person who heals him from drugs will be infected. If poisonous blood is mixed with food and water, people who eat that food and water can also be infected. There is another way, and that is that husbands and wives can also infect each other......"

Hearing this, Shen Yan'er was suddenly stunned.

I don't know why, Ah Zhen's figure suddenly appeared in my mind.
