Chapter XXIV

Walk through the dilapidated black houses.

Lake led Garlo and his party to a burned house.

There were two soldiers guarding the front of the house.

Standing outside the house, you can still hear a small moan coming from inside, like a mouthful of thick phlegm stuck in your throat, "ho-ho".

"Please, Lord Garlo!"

Lake motioned for Galo to enter the ruined room.

Garlo and Jue both walked in smoothly, but when it came to Han Qingluo and Lilian, Lake smiled politely and stretched out his arm to stop their steps.

"The two young ladies should not go in, the things inside are very terrifying, I'm afraid that you will have nightmares at night and will not be able to sleep soundly!"

Han Qingluo sneered, lifted the cloak covering his body, and rows of sharp iron weapons with a cold light hung all over his body, which was simply a walking hidden weapon storehouse.

"Thank you for the gentleman's reminder, but we're not weak noble ladies."

Lake was stunned, consciously withdrew his hand, gave up most of his position, and watched Han Qingluo walk into the house in a dashing manner......

The roof of the house had been completely burned down, except for the walls and a few main beams that were still standing, and everything else was bare, and the wind blew in from time to time.

The rain spread in a thin puddle on the ground, and the black wood ash floated in the middle, making it appear on every pair of boots that had been stepped on.

Following a faint moan, they found what Lake called "something strange".

Although they already knew that this strange thing was a dead body, they had to do enough acting.

In a small room that is still well preserved.

They saw the moaning corpse.

I saw that it was pressed by a huge wooden beam, and the lower half of its body was missing, leaving only the upper body.

On the whole rotten face, there was a mouth without lips and flesh, and the exposed white teeth opened and closed, and an unpleasant moan came out of the throat.

A pair of gray eyes stared at everyone, and the withered hands that had seen the white bones kept crowing forward, and even though it was trapped under the giant tree, instinct made it struggle and want to attack.

Although it was the second time he had seen the monster again, Lake couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose with a hand towel that had been sprayed with perfume dozens of times, squinting at it, and then avoiding it.

Obviously, he couldn't stand the visual impact, this was the first time in his life that he had seen this kind of dead body still moving. Goosebumps erupted all over the body.

"Look, it's this strange thing."

Lake still couldn't take it anymore and took a few steps back, trying to get as far away from the dead body as possible.

"Strange stuff indeed."

Galo crouched down in front of the corpse, examining it carefully, his tone calm. He smiled casually and picked up the pieces of wood on the side and stretched them out to the dead body.

Unexpectedly, although the dead body was trapped, its strength was terrifying, and he directly grabbed the wooden block and pulled it towards himself.

Without the slightest preparation, Galo was pulled by it and leaned forward......

"Click!"

A sharp sword fell, severing the dead body's arms and heads.

At the same time, its head was quickly kicked out by a large foot and landed among a pile of rubble, and the piece of wood that was clenched tightly in its mouth was chewed by its teeth.

"Don't take it lightly at any time!"

There was a cold taunt above his head, and Galo, who was on the ground with his palms on the ground, raised his head, the panic on his face was quickly replaced by embarrassment, he patted his dirty hands, stood up curtly, and walked away from the still wriggling half of the corpse.

Jue stretched out his hand to Lake, and asked him to cover his mouth and nose with a handkerchief.

Lake hesitated for a moment and reluctantly handed it over, Jue took it, and directly used it to wipe the stains on the sword, and then inserted it into the scabbard after confirming that it was clean.

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome!"

Lake held the stained hand towel, and his face was full of heartache: that is a silk fabric from the East!

At first glance, Jue's face doesn't look like something to be messed with, he hasn't noticed this guy before, and now it seems that he is even more difficult to serve by Galo.

The sudden scene before also startled him, but fortunately there was no danger.

But this dead body has been cut off and can still move, all this is too weird! Subverting his worldview.

"Lord Garlo...... And this gentleman, do you know anything about this strange thing? ”

"This is a bit like the legendary zombie, which has no will, eats human flesh and blood, and is infinitely powerful!"

Han Qingluo, who was on the side, suddenly explained, walked up to Lake, and continued: "Also, this gentleman is my boss, you can call him Mr. Jue." ”

"Mr. Jue, you have good skills!"

Lake wanted to reach out and pat Jue's shoulder, which looked warm, but Jue's expression directly persuaded him, and he was embarrassed to directly clap his palms.

Seeing Lake's embarrassed appearance, Han Qingluo was very suspicious that his identity as a sheriff had entered through the back door, looking cowardly and incompetent.

"Lord Earl, are you alright?"

Galo turned his head to look at Lilian, who cared about him, and smiled slightly: "It's okay, thank you Lilian for your concern." ”

Lily regretted a little in her peace of mind why she didn't use her ability to foresee what had just happened, and to foresee him in advance so that Galo would not be in danger.

As if to see Lilian's self-blame, Galo gently put her arms around her shoulders and patted her comfortingly: "It's okay, it's not your responsibility." ”

Lilian had a sense of panic at being caught, and was a little uncomfortable with Galo's kind physical contact, stiffened her body, and a large flush flew out of her little face, and she stammered for a long time: "Okay, okay!" ”

Seeing her reaction, Galo chuckled, touched her head, and shifted his gaze to Jue and them.

"Thank you guys, let's go out!"

Lake didn't want to stay here for a moment, and immediately beckoned everyone to leave the rotten house.

……

In a makeshift tent.

Lake prepared excellent wine and pastries for them.

Han Qingluo looked at the spacious hood, and secretly smacked his tongue in his heart: This aristocratic child, when he goes out to work, he has to bring a mobile "house", and he has to eat and drink well, it is really Zhumen's wine and meat stinky road with frozen bones!

couldn't help but joke: "Lord Lake, you sheriff is quite rich, you enjoy going out to work so much!" ”

When Lake heard this, he smiled and said with a weak heart: "It's in the middle of nowhere, I'm ...... There's no way around it! I can eat and sleep in the open, but my people can't! ”

After a bit of small talk, Lake finally got the news of the dead body in earnest.

"This young lady, do you know anything about this monster when I saw your remarks just now?"

Lake diligently poured a glass of wine and handed it to Han Qingluo.

Taking his wine, Han Qingluo took a sip, the fruity aroma quickly spread between his mouths, and the smell of wine was not very heavy, just like drinking fruit juice, no wonder people in this era like to drink wine as water.

Looking at Lake's longing gaze, Han Qingluo put down his wine glass and said unhurriedly: "This is also a rumor I heard by chance, I can't take it seriously!" ”

Seeing this, Lake graciously handed her a plate of cheese cubes.

Han Qingluo twisted a piece contrivedly and put it in her mouth, the thick milky fragrance lingered between her mouths, it was simply the best thing she had ever eaten in this world.

She smacked her lips in satisfaction and cleared her throat pompously: "Legend has it that there is a virus that can resurrect dead bodies, such as the T virus, and people or livestock infected by it will become the living dead, which can also be called zombies.

This zombie will not die if it is cut in half, and after being bitten by them, it will be infected into the same kind, so don't be bitten or scratched by them!

The only way to get rid of them is to burn them with fire, or cut off their heads and destroy their brains. When faced with hordes of zombies, the only way is to run! ”

Han Qingluo combined some fiction and reality to make things up.

"T-virus? What's that? Lake was a little confused by Han Qingluo's words.

"It's the kind of thing that can make people sick!"

"Is it the devil who spreads things in the world?" Ryker's expression couldn't help but become more serious.

"You can understand it that way!"

Han Qingluo's confidence was a little lacking, and he looked at Jue and Jia Luo, Jia Luo showed a half-believing expression, and Jue was still the same unfazed look, but she saw an inexplicable melancholy in his eyes.

"That's not good, the bishop's men have to cleanse this cursed land!" At the mention of gods and demons, the religious Lake tensed his nerves.

"Don't alarm the others, we can investigate secretly, maybe there is an evil organization secretly planning this?"

Galo spoke up to stabilize Lake first, the more this matter was intervened by humans, the easier it was for their blood society to be exposed.

"Is Garlo-sama trying to help?"

"Anyway, I don't have anything urgent, just treat this investigation as a special play!"

Gallor is grateful for his generosity.

If he has made meritorious contributions in this matter, he may be able to win some glory for the family when he goes back, and maybe he can be promoted.

"That's all the hard work, adults!"

Lake smiled and hurriedly filled them with wine glasses again.

After a few glasses of wine.

Han Qingluo's face was a little ruddy, although this wine was delicious, he would get drunk if he drank too much.

On the other hand, Lilian, in the past, they used to drink distilled liquor in their village, and the degree was higher than that of wine, so she was not affected, and Han Qingluo could feel that she was happy at the moment.

Although she was blind, none of the people present disliked her, especially Galo, who had said that he was responsible for protecting her, and that he had taken special care of Lillian this time, and invited her to have a drink from time to time.

Maybe a little bit of alcohol, and Lillian was much more open and talkative than before.

……

Between the cups and the lamps, it was approaching evening.

At Lake's arrangement, they walked together to a specially arranged tent.

On the road.

The figures of the four walked one after the other.

"Lillian, come and walk with me!"

Garlo walked over to Han Qingluo and Lilian.

As soon as the two of them walked forward, Jue leaned over to Han Qingluo's side. She subconsciously turned her head to look at him, knowing that Galo's arrival was deliberately made by Jue to let him take Lilian.

"What do you want to ask?"

"Did the description of the dead that you mentioned happen in the future, in your time?"

Han Qingluo thought to herself that it was all made up by her watching movies and television and according to the actual situation, but it seemed that Jue had a feeling that the teacher was asking for guilt, and hurriedly replied: "I said it was a rumor, maybe it happened!" ”

Jue stared at her face and didn't speak again.

Walking outside the tent, he grabbed Han Qingluo and instructed seriously: "Be cautious in your words and deeds, your bold remarks may become the reason for pushing you to the stake, and Lake may not be an enemy, nor can he be a friend!" ”

Han Qingluo stared at his back and fell into deep thought.
