The destination of Ruan Chi's trip, Stone Village, is a nameless field located on the border of the Kingdom of Bostan, because of the size of the village and the lack of a name, so it can only be called Stone Village casually.

The group kept going, drove for a long time, and finally saw this so-called stone village.

The village was not very large, and from a distance, there were only a few dozen or so simple houses made of stone and wood, and there were no fences on the outskirts of the village that could be used to defend against wild beasts.

In such a poor and backward place, it is no wonder that the king of the Kingdom of Bostan ignored the undead attack when it first occurred, and it was not until a caravan of other countries passing through the border was attacked that it was forced to attract attention under diplomatic pressure.

In this way, the government is the same everywhere, and the ruler can never pay attention to things that do not involve his own interests.

There were six people on Ruan Chi's side, and exactly eleven people on the side of the convicted eleven, adding up to seventeen people, and after the group walked into this small village, they began to look for clues.

The village had been attacked by undead creatures seven days earlier, and none of the 24 households in the village had been spared. Although the Bostan Kingdom had already sent people to clean it up, when Ruan Chi stepped inside, there was still a strong smell of blood and rancid stench in the air.

Rachel, who had been growing up in the forest, couldn't stand the smell at first, and covered her nose, revealing a hint of disgust.

In addition to the smell of blood and rancidity, there was also a burning smell of burning in the air, and Ruan Chi quickly noticed that the houses had been burned by fire.

seemed to see Ruan Chi's doubts. The out-of-this-world woman suddenly laughed. "Undead creatures don't set fires. The fire was set up when the Kingdom of Bostan came some time ago. ”

Ruan Chi frowned, and said suspiciously: "Is it necessary to set fire?" Isn't it because they're worried about spreading the plague among the corpses of those who died? ”

"This is one of the reasons, the most important reason is that the Kingdom of Bostan is worried that the corpses of the villagers will be transformed."

"Zombies?"

Ruan Chi seemed to have heard something strange, and his expression was even more dazed.

Rachel next to him couldn't stand it, stretched out a green onion finger and flicked his forehead, and said angrily: "You didn't read the information that Sister Jialan gave you yesterday, but now you don't know anything." It's a joke, right? ”

"I didn't watch it, but didn't you watch it, Lei'er? Tell me about it! Ruan Chi was not afraid of being laughed at, not only did he not restrain himself, but said with a hippie smile.

Rachel had never seen such a cheeky person, and she didn't know whether to be funny or angry, she coughed lightly and told the information she had read yesterday, "Listen, this attack on several border towns and villages in the Kingdom of Bostan is an undead creature. According to several surviving eyewitness accounts, they were all zombies. These zombies also spread corpse poison, and those who have been bitten or scratched by them will quickly transform without the treatment of the priest. ”

"Zombies, Resident Evil?"

"What a Resident Evil, it's an undead creature!"

Rachel didn't know what Ruan Chi was saying, so she rolled her eyes and corrected.

"Aren't zombies Resident Evil? It can also infect people with corpse poison, tsk, it seems to be quite interesting. Ruan Chi touched his chin and said to himself with a smile.

In order to find clues faster, the group then subdivided into several groups and searched in this lifeless small village.

The focus of everyone's search was naturally the houses here, Ruan Chi, Rachel, and Herlan were in a group of three, and at this time they walked into one of the houses that was almost half collapsed.

The house is not very large, because the walls are all black because of the fire, and the only roof made of wood and hay has been burned through by the fire, and when you look up, you can see the gray sky.

Well? Wait, gray skies?

Ruan Chi seems to have discovered a problem, that is, when they set off today, all the way, it seemed that the sun was shining in their memories, and when did the sky turn into this gray color.

And this color is not like an ordinary cloudy sky at all, on the contrary, Ruan Chi feels that this kind of sky looks a little familiar.

Ruan Chi touched his chin and opened the system map, and after a while, he suddenly realized that he asked the elven female swordsman who was busy searching next to him, "Lei'er, let me ask you a question, is the Kingdom of Bostan bordering the Forgotten Country?" ”

"yes, didn't I tell you before?" Rachel looked up at Ruan Chi, not understanding why he was suddenly asking such a question.

"So, you can see the skies of the Forgotten Realm from here?" Ruan Chi pointed to the gray sky above his head and said.

"What if you see it......" Rachel suddenly woke up in the middle of her words and lost her voice: "Do you think that this time an undead creature attacked the border town of the Kingdom of Bostan will have something to do with the Forgotten Country?" ”

"Well, I guess it will have something to do with it, after all, aren't undead creatures a specialty of the Forgotten Nation?" Ruan Chi said with a smile.

"What specialty, you mean the three calamities, right?" Rachel also put on a stern expression at this time, obviously agreeing with Ruan Chi's guess.

"One of the three major scourges of the Forgotten Nation, the Fog of War, when it appears, will be accompanied by a large number of undead creatures, but judging from the signs of the destruction of this small village, it is not like a disaster of that level." Ruan Chi suddenly shook his head and said.

"You have a point, but apart from the fog of war of the three calamities, it doesn't seem to explain the possibility of undead creatures appearing in such a place." Rachel frowned.

"Aside from the fog of war, can't there be any necromancer performing some mysterious ritual nearby?" Ruan Chi asked a little puzzled.

"No, I don't think necromancers or anything is reliable." Rachel said: "Since the Terran side won the third battle of the throne a thousand years ago, and the Holy See was established, the evil necromancer has long been regarded as a heretic by the Holy See, and ordinary people cannot dare to practice evil necromancy unless they are crazy. ”

"It's not a necromancer, so who is going to control those undead creatures?" Ruan Chi muttered.

The two discussed for a while without answers, and at this time, the convict Eleven, who was in charge of the search on the other side, made a new discovery at this time.

"Brother Ruan Chi, come over here and have a look." Li Guojing from Mu Ne ran over to inform.

Ruan Chi glanced at Rachel and walked over with Helan. Where, Betty, Jialan, and Ampeaki had already gathered.

Where everyone was around, what caught their eyes was a charred corpse, lying face down on the ground, its skin charred by the fire, and its left hand was gone.

"I found the body, and I was lying there when I saw it." Among the eleven convicted people, a fat man dressed as a mage and with a fat body said.

"Strange, didn't it say that the soldiers of the Kingdom of Bostan once came to clean up the scene? How come there are still corpses that have not been taken away? Is it missing? Li Huangrong was a little puzzled.

"Probably impossible, right? Such a large corpse lying in the middle of the road, unless it was a blind man, how could it be missed. The cockscomb-headed man who followed Maher laughed.

"Hhorn is right, there are footprints here, and it feels like someone deliberately moved the body here." Li Yinong didn't know when he walked to the side of the corpse and squatted down, pointing to a row of footprints on the ground and said.

"Someone moved the body here, so what was his purpose?" Auf asked.

"I don't understand it for a while, but it's not necessarily a living person who moves the corpse, maybe it's some other undead creature." Li Yinong said lightly.

Other undead creatures?

When the group heard this, they all showed a look of vigilance, if Li Yinong's inference was correct, there might be undead creatures lurking here nearby.

But at this time, an abrupt voice suddenly sounded.

"Miss Li Yinong, I advise you to get up from that corpse quickly."

The person who spoke was Ruan Chi, and everyone looked at him and didn't understand why he said that, but Li Yinong still stood up very obediently, looked at Ruan Chi with a pair of beautiful eyes and asked, "Mr. Ruan Chi, what is your opinion?" ”

"I don't have a problem." Ruan Chi shrugged, pointed to the corpse on the ground and said, "I just want to remind you that this thing is not a corpse, it is alive." ”

Alive?

Everyone was taken aback by Ruan Chi's statement, only Li Yinong showed a thoughtful expression, and at the same time, she cautiously walked away from the corpse.

"Little ghost, are you playing tricks again?" Maher sarcastically said.

"Tricks? I wonder who almost died when they were in the Temple of Quetzalcoatl that day because they didn't listen to my advice? Ruan Chi grinned.

"You ......" Ma He's expression was so angry that his expression turned blue and white, although he was a little unwilling, but what Ruan Chi said was the truth.

When he was dealing with the snake slave Duke Kidd in the Quetzalcoatl Temple, Duke Kidd was also killed twice by Li Yinong's Sword of Sanctions, and his body was chopped into minced meat, but he never died.

At that time, if it weren't for Ruan Chi's reminder, everyone might have been attacked by the resurrected Duke Kidd, and the casualties would have been even heavier.

Now, Ruan Chi concluded that the corpse on the ground was alive, and the familiar scene reappeared, and Mach felt as if Ruan Chi was slapping him on a bus.

As if confirming Ruan Chi's words, almost at the same time as Li Yinong left, the corpse that was originally motionless suddenly twitched.

In an instant, the corpse pounced on everyone, its face was also black, only the cracked mouth showed its teeth and half a bloody tongue.

Ruan Chi, who had been prepared, didn't say a word, and while everyone was shocked, he ran to the front first and kicked the corpse in the face.

"Bang!"

The corpse's head was kicked like a watermelon, and the remaining headless lower body couldn't stand the powerful force and flew out, and then fell apart and scattered to the ground. (To be continued......)
