Chapter 266: Dead Town
After hearing this, Xing Tianze did not refuse Chen Shuai's request, but only accepted fifty soldiers to follow them into Qingchuan Town, because the town really needed an official who could call the shots.
After everything was ready, the group walked in from the entrance of the town, and Wuxian and Xing Tianze stood on the left and right sides of Tao Mingxi respectively.
Almost all of them followed the same movement, putting one hand on the saber or saber in front of them, vigilantly watching the situation around them, in case someone suddenly contracted another bad disease rushed out.
Tao Mingxi, who was walking in the middle, sighed secretly in her heart, only she knew that no matter how hard she tried, this evil disease could not be cured by manpower, and what she commanded these people could only prevent the further spread of the epidemic.
There is no way to do anything after the outbreak of rabies in modern times, let alone in an age where the disease has mutated.
Soon the group entered the town's archway, in which the upright Qingchuan two characters seem to reflect the town's former prosperity.
Many of the houses on both sides of the street were damaged, and most of the doors and windows were broken open by brute force, as if they had experienced a riot.
There are bodies of the dead on the streets on both sides and under the eaves, but fortunately the weather has not completely warmed up yet, and if it were summer, it would have begun to emit a foul smell.
There was no need for Tao Mingxi to give orders, and these people behind her immediately stepped forward to dispose of the corpse, completely implementing her statement and spilling quicklime and spirits.
Suddenly, Tao Mingxi saw a baby lying under the pillar in front of a pawnshop?
Tao Mingxi hurriedly walked over to cover his mouth and nose and stretched out his other hand, patted it lightly on the child's body, and the baby quickly let out a cry.
"He's alive!" Tao Mingxi smiled and turned to look at Xing Tianze.
"Princess, be careful!" Traceless suddenly reminded loudly, his toes tapped on the ground, and a cold sword flashed in a flash of cold light, and he pulled out a cold sword in an instant.
The sharp cold sword with a chilling sword aura almost brushed against Tao Mingxi's left ear.
Xing Tianze quickly grabbed Tao Mingxi's right hand and pulled her behind him.
When Tao Mingxi saw the situation clearly, his eyes instantly widened, and he saw an infected patient standing two steps away from where she had just been, and the sword in Wuxi's hand was stabbing him in the throat.
If it weren't for the timely reminder without a trace, Tao Mingxi might have been bitten by this patient.
The wrist of Traceless' right hand turned slightly, and the powerful sword qi directly split the patient's body.
"Be careful, everyone!" Without a trace immediately quickly retreated to Xing Tianze's side.
As his words fell, Tao Mingxi suddenly heard a terrifying sound, as if dozens of beasts were roaring around them.
Then one by one, figures crawled out from under the collapsed stalls in various houses and streets, dragging their legs and slowly walking towards Xing Tianze and his party, sticky saliva dripping from their mouths.
"Is this a corpse?" Xing Tianze's face was completely gloomy, and he didn't believe what was happening in front of him.
"Zombies?" Tao Mingxi clutched Xing Tianze's shirt tightly in fear, and he almost didn't dare to look at the dead who were pressing towards them.
"It's interesting to be able to meet this kind of character in such a small place." A smile appeared on Traceless's face, not only did he not have any fear, but he took a step forward: "I have seen my predecessors under Traceless!" ”
Traceless's words can be said to have shocked all the people present, and they all turned their eyes to him, and even Xing Tianze's eyes were filled with a look of doubt.
Tao Mingxi finally mustered up the courage to slowly open his eyes, and after the words landed without a trace, the patients around him really stopped abruptly.
"The matter of Qingchuan Town is not something you can solve, Nian should leave here quickly for the sake of friendship with your master, otherwise I will not be able to guarantee the safety of your life." A deep, deep voice suddenly sounded.
Wu Ji and Xing Tianze moved their ears slightly almost at the same time, and then the two of them raised their heads and looked at the roof of an inn.
A dark shadow was sitting on the edge of the eaves, threatening to fall at any moment.
"I don't know what happened in Qingchuan Town? How can you alarm a character like you to appear? Traceless asked again.
Of course, he knew who this black shadow was, and only the one he knew in the world could freely manipulate the corpse, so that the dead could achieve the effect of resurrecting the dead.
Yang Lin didn't answer without a trace, and the figure disappeared from the roof in a flash, and then the surrounding patients also fell to the ground.
"Come and clean up an inn for the princess and princess." Traceless's face was already covered with seriousness, and he turned to look at Xing Tianze and Tao Mingxi: "Lord and Princess, please come with me!" ”
"Don't be afraid, everything has this king!" Xing Tianze gently patted the back of Tao Mingxi's hand, and after the latter nodded, he followed Wuxian to a cloth shop.
Glancing at the environment vigilantly, after making sure that there was no danger, Wuxian turned back to look at Xing Tianze: "Lord Wang, Qingchuan Town is probably not just a matter of raging diseases, there must be something hidden in it that we don't know." ”
Then no trace explained the reason, there has always been an ancient but single-line sect on the rivers and lakes, its origin is also from the land of Miaojiang, but this sect is the leading force in Baiyue at the beginning, known as the corpse exorcism gate.
"Yang Lin, the corpse chaser?" Xing Tianze's brows also furrowed, he had seen the relevant explanations in a book before, and he had also sent someone to investigate some of them thoroughly.
Traceless nodded lightly: "Yang Lin has not shown up for many years, and many people think that he is dead, but I didn't expect to suddenly appear in Qingchuan Town this time, and I dare to conclude that he will not come to treat a bad disease." ”
Tao Mingxi was still in the mood to ask about these things at the moment, she looked nervously at all places outside the door, for fear that another dead corpse would suddenly get up.
Wuxian suddenly thought of a question, since the game between him and the emperor entered the middle and late stage, there were suddenly many more people who should not have existed, Zhu Dan and his party were so the same as Yang Lin, who had just appeared, and the source of everything was the land of Baiyue.
