Chapter 577: Scott
Xu Yichen took the two survivors he picked up, and with his own perception ability, he avoided several small groups of undead in advance, and walked from the trade area to the vicinity of the noble area.
"How long will their 'smart' state last?" Xu Yichen watched Nur trembling and squatting at the door of a small villa, using homemade gadgets to unlock the door.
This little skill of lockpicking is taught in the Steelwalker camp, and the seven habitual thieves who were lucky enough to escape are now the most valuable talents in the camp.
"It lasts about an hour each time, but it usually doesn't happen in the morning, so I don't know what kind of wind the 'death knell' is pumping today." Scott shrugged his shoulders and said with some regret, "The scouts will definitely lose a lot today." ”
"Scout? Death knell? Xu Yichen watched Nuer take three minutes, and before he could open the door, he had to take the initiative to step forward, and used the [Elegant Ripper] to gently open a hole in the door that was enough for people to walk through: "Go in and talk about it." ”
It is a standard small aristocratic residence, detached, with a small garden, two floors, built of stone.
The reason why the survivors of the Steelwalker camp expanded to the aristocratic district in the first place was because of the relatively abundant supplies, and on the other hand, because the buildings in this district were strong enough.
The suffocating smell of corpses in the room made all three of them lower their breath.
In the other two frightened eyes, Xu Yichen tapped the copper ornament on the wall with his long sword, making a crisp sound.
Then, from the second floor, there was an unsettling roar, as if someone was scratching the floor upstairs.
"Look at the door, I'll go up and have a look." The Demon Hunter walked up the stairs as if he were home.
"Nur, watch the door, I'll go up and have a look!" Scott glanced at the broken gate, then at the calm Seris, and decisively followed.
Xu Yichen found the source of the smell of corpses on the second floor, a man dressed in aristocratic clothing hung himself on the beam of the master bedroom, finger-thick maggots were already covered with corpses, and some of them who were too fat would accidentally fall to the floor.
In another closed room, a terrifying roar was constantly being heard.
One of the two is a demon hunter who has experienced strong winds and waves, and the other is used to seeing more corpses than living people recently, and neither of them has any superfluous reactions.
While the Demon Hunter went to inspect another room, Scott even had time to scavenge for jewelry in his bedroom.
Xu Yichen saw that the door of the other room had been nailed shut from the outside with a wooden plank, and if there was no accident, it should have been the person who hanged himself.
This kind of family tragedy, Xu Yichen is almost numb, most people don't want to believe that their relatives will become zombies because of a small wound, although they know that most of the zombies outside the streets are born in this way.
They will be by their own wounded family until they are completely mutated, and they will not accept reality.
Xu Yichen removed the wooden planks with his bare hands, and after hearing the sound, the roar in the room suddenly fell silent, as if waiting for a chance to see the light of day again.
With the tooth-aching sound of the door opening, a female undead person in her pajamas and bound to a chair came into view.
An uncoloured cloth bypassed the undead's mouth, preventing her from taking advantage of her intelligence to speak, and several wrist-thick chains were fastened to the four corners of the room at one end, and the other end circled around the chair several times, finally tying it firmly to the chair.
The undead had apparently fought hard against the restraints, leaving countless scratches on the floor from the four corners of the chair, almost digging four small holes.
The scratching sound they had heard downstairs was the sound of the chains rubbing against the floor.
[Graceful Ripper] directly pierced the other party's head, Xu Yichen didn't want to speculate on the survival journey and mental journey of these two people, he suspected that if he searched carefully, he would still be able to find the dying diary of the male owner of the family.
However, the little nobleman who locked himself in the room after this kind of disaster, Xu Yichen didn't have to think about it, and he knew that there would be no useful information.
If you have the time, why not have a good chat with the two scouts from the Steelwalker camp.
Xu Yichen turned around and walked out of the room, and in the corner of the doorway, a few slender broken bones made the demon hunter pause for a moment.
Xu Yichen, who walked out of the door, picked up the wooden plank on the ground and resealed the room, only to see that Scott actually had the courage to touch something on the deceased's body.
"Be careful, I usually put a knife in the dead man's head before I get closer." Xu Yichen shook his head and walked down the stairs.
"What did you say?" Scott turned his head to watch the Demon Hunter disappear around the corner of the stairs, feeling as if the second floor had suddenly become cold, and then when he turned around, he saw the man who had hanged himself staring at him.
"You intruders, you dare to break into the door of Regust's house, I want to eat your entrails!" The man dragged the rope used to commit suicide with both hands, struggling hard, but because his feet did not touch the ground, he could not exert his strength.
Scott was startled and sat on the ground, almost losing his crotch.
However, Scott is also an elite civilian who relied on his courage to lead his family all the way to the Steelwalker camp and survived three reconnaissance missions!
Scott glanced left and right, picked up his scimitar, and stabbed the undead!
"We're safe here for now, aren't we?" Noor cautiously peered through the hole in the door, as if there were undead waiting for him to appear.
When he saw the demon hunter come down on his own, Noor breathed a sigh of relief. The sound of a fight from the second floor made him even more nervous.
"Safe, let's rest for a while, and when they become fools again, we will set off." Xu Yichen nodded, lifted the dining table in the middle of the living room, and blocked the door: "Don't be too nervous, go and rest for a while and see if you can find anything useful." ”
"Okay, okay!" Noor looked back at the hole in the door step by step, and rummaged carefully on the first floor.
How to search a room quietly and quickly is also one of the trainings offered in the Steelwalker camp, and the instructor and the lockpicking class are the same people.
"I reckon the time is almost up, and if all goes well, we'll be back at Steelwalker Camp by noon." Scott walked down from the second floor with his weapon: "Can you tell me your purpose?" ”
