Chapter 71: The Undead Under the Crescent Moon (7/24)

Stephanie chose to inform Donald of her problem before the team left, which was better than waiting until the battle to reveal it.

Calm down and think about it, this doesn't seem like a bad thing for Donald either.

You know, Stephanie told him about this alone, which was undoubtedly a sign of trust.

It's not that what Donald has done in the past two days has moved Stephanie, in fact, it's a multiple-choice question.

The Roses team consists of five people except Stephanie, Boglo and she have not spoken a word to this day, Horn has a history of abandoning teammates, and Suzanne is a staunch Horn supporter.

The only people she could ask for help were Pence and Donald.

Although the former seems to have fallen into Stephanie's charm, she knows that her talent is only a short-lived effect, and there will always be times when Burns is alone, and once he comes to his senses and realizes the problem, it will still be an irreparable situation.

In the end, the only one left was Donald, and Stephanie didn't want to expose her problems in the middle of the battle, so she had to turn to him for help.

At this time, Donald was faced with a choice, and of course he could choose to ignore it, after all, Stephanie was self-inflicted, but doing so could lead to an outcome.

If Stephanie unexpectedly gets through the battle in the rest of the battle, Donald will lose the possibility of wooing her completely.

Because at this moment, he chose to give up Stephanie, and the conflict between the two is likely to affect his subsequent actions to win over Pence.

Donald was quick to decide.

"Stephanie, I'll help you, but you can't hide anything from me anymore, I need to know about your natural abilities and some of your situation...... Wipe away your tears, since you don't want to be bullied anymore, you have to be tough and let everyone know that you are not easy to mess with!"

Donald quickly thought about how to help Stephanie not reveal her strength in the next battle.

Ten minutes later, Donald returned to the police station with Stephanie, who had returned to normal, and several people in the team paid attention to them but did not ask about them.

"I asked the sheriff here about the question Donald said before, and he said that it was because the case ended quickly, and there were only a few experienced police officers who witnessed it, so they didn't report it, and the details were a little unclear...... I'm not sure if he's telling the truth or not, but for now he has no reason to lie to us. ”

The case of two years ago is not a simple matter to be investigated in detail now, and the focus is not here for the time being, so Donald did not object.

"Now our plan is to let these police stay in Redwood Town, they have notified the townspeople outside to take refuge in the town, what we have to do is to clean up the undead outside, and then find the cause of these undead, according to the sheriff's description, these undead are currently gathered about a mile southeast of the town, we ride over, the backyard of the police station is the stable, so we can bring more equipment, do you have any opinions?"

Simple plan, this mission seems to be a extermination mission at the moment, Horn Shelley showed the judgment that a captain should have, his eyes swept over the people present, and more stayed on Pence, because those equipment were prepared by Pence.

No one refuted it, and Pence did not look at Horn Shelley and acquiesced to the plan.

The group rode away from Red Cliffs, following the dirt road that Donald had seen as he approached in the evening.

The weather is fair tonight.

At the beginning of September, the moon was a new moon, the light was dim, and the old members of the team were wearing mechanical masks, probably prepared beforehand.

Donald has vision, and the night doesn't affect him, just to keep Stephanie from looking abrupt, so he also carries a whale oil searchlight in his hand.

After nearly 10 minutes or so of marching along the dirt road, Horn, who was at the front of the line, raised his hand to stop.

"The undead will sense all living things, and the horses are too large to be exposed, and then move forward on foot. ”

Tethering the horse to a nearby tree, Donald used a calling whistle to put away the dirt golem, and the six of them gathered together.

"Suzanne, it's up to you. ”

"Understood. ”

Susanna, who had been instructed, formed a seal on the spot and wiped her right wrist with one hand, and as the circle moved from the bottom up, an owl with red eyes appeared on her arm out of thin air.

"Investigate, report!"

A short noun, then the owl nodded very humanely, turned and flew up, and then Suzanne summoned two squirrels in a similar way and released them, and Donald now knew something about what she meant by communication animals and information detectives.

Suzanne is obviously also a support outlaw, but she doesn't know how effective it is.

"It will take a while for the intel to gather, and my friend will find out where the undead are. ”

While waiting, Donald looked at the bushes next to the dirt road and put Finger in his backpack.

The atmosphere in the team was a bit dreary, and if nothing else, they would soon be facing double-digit undead, a dangerous number, and this foresight was inevitably nerve-wracking, and the most affected was naturally Stephanie.

She hadn't said a word since she came out of the police station, just silently followed Donald's side, and now she was the same, her face was pale, and the slightly gloomy surroundings made her uncomfortable.

At this time, it is inappropriate to talk comfortingly, and the teammates are all around.

Donald wasn't Stephanie's babysitter, he could help, but there were some difficulties she had to overcome on her own.

Coo~Coo~

In a short time, the call of an owl could be heard in the bushes in front of the dirt road.

"Follow me. ”

Suzanne quickly judged the direction, and led the group out of the dirt road, plunging headlong into the bushes, where the autumn woodland was full of fallen leaves, and there was a constant creaking sound when stepping on it, and Donald held a whale oil lamp, but actually looked at the situation ahead with his vision.

Cuckoo~

After walking about a distance of one or two hundred meters, the owl's voice sounded again.

"Prepare for battle, there are 5 undead in front of you. ”

At the same time as Suzanne reminded him, several moving black shadows also appeared in Donald's psychic vision, the undead had no vital signs, and Donald could only judge the location by the soul fire in their heads.

Horn and Pence were the first to rush forward, followed by Boglo, Donald, Susan and Stephanie in the third tier.

Roar~Roar!

The distance between the two sides was shortened, and the undead also felt the breath of life approaching.

Under the moonlight, with an abomination of life, the emaciated and shriveled corpses were advancing frantically, their roars coming and going.

The first to engage were Horn and Pence, and the five undead creatures could be said to be heading straight for them.

However, it was not they who killed the undead first, but Boglo, whose crossbow bolts were aimed at the undead who rushed at the front, and before it could get close, the water-soaked crossbow bolts hit its head with great precision.

The holy water scorched the wounds of the undead, emitting a white mist, and after eating the fifth crossbow arrow, an undead creature fell directly to the ground, turning into charcoal fragments.

Crackling!

The purple circle flickered over the bushes, and the lightning directly killed an undead creature in an instant.

"In this case, you don't have to rush to make a move, just watch from the sidelines. ”

Donald reminded as he stood beside Stephanie.

There are only 5 undead creatures, and it seems that they are still the lowest type, and they have been prepared for a long time, and they will solve them all with just a face.

The battle ended very quickly, and Donald quickly stepped forward, using the Siphon Bone Ring to absorb the soul energy that had not completely dissipated.

Glancing over the undead on the ground that had not been completely destroyed, Donald quickly noticed that their bodies were wrapped in clothes.

"These undead are weak, the lowest-level ...... Hopefully the same will be true for the rest of the world. ”

Pence said as he kicked the corpse on the ground.

If it were all such undead, this mission would undoubtedly be much easier.

"Look at the costumes on these corpses, the police are right, they come from the cemetery in Red Cliff Town, we have to go and find out the root cause of these corpses turning into undead. ”

Rather than destroying these transformed undead, it is more important to find out the root cause, otherwise the situation will only get worse over time.

"The location of the cemetery is right in front of us, so we can take a shortcut and destroy the undead along the way. ”

Suzanne took out the map and briefly compared the locations, confirmed the route, and the group set off again.

This time, the pace is much faster, on the premise of confirming that these undead creatures are only ordinary people, they naturally have less worries, and the undead creatures encountered along the way are basically solved with long-range weapons, bullets filled with holy water and crossbow arrows soaked in holy water, as long as they grasp the distance, it is enough to deal with these guys.

Occasionally, those who rushed forward would immediately fall under the siege of several people.

Breaking out of the bushes, the group came to a narrow dirt road, and as they walked down it, the chances of encountering undead creatures along the way began to increase.

"It seems that the number of undead has increased again, and the double digit that the police said, I think the first digit is definitely not 1. ”

There were more than 15 undead creatures encountered along the way, and they had just arrived near the cemetery.

"Here we are, the cemetery in the small town of Red Cliffs. ”

"I have an ominous premonition, everyone should be careful, we are definitely not welcome in this existence. ”

In fact, it was not a hunch, but Donald saw a large number of blue soul fires in the cemetery through his spiritual vision, and at a cursory glance, the number of them exceeded 10.

Go a little further.

At the end of the road, tombstones are lined with broken and corrupted dead wandering in their resting places.
