Chapter 13: The Living Dead Strike
The light shone across the sky, and it drew closer and closer to the ground, battling the tangled mist.
Gu Xuan had already arrived near the campsite where the investigation team was stationed, and I have to say that the scenery of Gozo Island was really great. Along the plateau, you can see the pale brown fields that emerge from the dark night, the puddles that are slightly shiny and lacking in brilliance, and the streams that flow between the dissipating mist and the glorious twilight.
"Excuse me, I'm a subordinate of the Kaljana family." Early in the morning, Gu Xuan's loud voice attracted the attention of everyone in the camp.
"Liana, who is this person?" The soldiers of the garrison had already gone up to question him, and Dawn Tooth City asked Leyana about the uninvited guest.
Liana looked at Gu Xuan carefully, and finally replied suspiciously: "I don't know, but I haven't received a notice from the family." ”
"Is it possible that someone is eyeing the elf's coffin?" Xiaoya City was uncertain and suspicious, but how could anyone appear so boldly and positively.
"Let him in, I'll ask him." Liana made the decision to let the guard let Gu Xuan in.
"Big brother, we really met again." As soon as Gu Xuan came in, a young figure rushed over.
Originally, early in the morning, Xiao Gucheng and Xiao Nagisha were ready to go to the nearby forest to remove filth, that is, to take a bath. After all, there is no bathroom in the wilderness where people can take a comfortable hot bath, but the natural cold water alone can satisfy the little girl who can't stand the smell of sweat on her body.
Xiao Nagisha asked reproachfully, "Big brother, when I came to the camp yesterday, they all said that you were not a member of the investigation team. ”
Looking at Xiao Nagisha's muttering face, one hand on her waist, and the other pointing at herself, it's really cute! However, the other party was only an 11-year-old girl, and Gu Xuan replied without much thought: "Ah, that, I am someone who was temporarily sent by the Kaljana family. The job I've been assigned here is also a guard, so I'm right. ”
"Temporary?" A confused voice interjected into the conversation between the two.
"Yes, Miss Liana." Gu Xuan bowed and handed the identity certificate to Liana.
Such a submissive attitude is really worrying! Liana thought as she checked the authenticity of her identification.
"You go to Dimas Caruso first." Liana pointed to a middle-aged man and instructed Gu Xuan.
"Yes."
Xiao Gucheng came out and saw Gu Xuan, and was surprised, but he didn't say anything to urge Xiao Nagisha to set off. Xiao Naisha was also very sensible and did not disturb Gu Xuan and Leana. The two of them went to the spring water they had found before and went to take a bath.
"How?" Seeing Liana coming over, Dawn asked.
"I don't know, but I told him to go to Caruso."
"Really?" Xiaoya City nodded and didn't say anything.
After Xiao Gucheng and Xiao Nagisha returned, they would have to develop the ruins, and this critical moment could not delay any time. Even if Gu Xuan had a problem, under Caruso's watching, he would never have a chance to make a chance to plot against him.
"Hello, Caruso." Gu Xuan followed the direction pointed by Liana and came to a man with a strong physique and a bearded face.
"Hello, you're Miss Leana's subordinate, aren't you?" Caruso remembered Dawntooth's advice and greeted him quietly and kindly.
"Yes."
It didn't look intimidating, and there was an intimate smile on the thick lips. However, Gu Xuan knew that as the leader of the staff of the investigation team, Caruso was definitely not simple.
It's a pity that this is not simple, and it is just a simple human being. At the time of the Gozo incident, the orcs of the Black Death Emperor broke up the defense of the investigation team by ambushing the "living dead" in advance.
Caruso, the first of them to die, saw a brand new human corpse during the search. As a result, he stepped forward to investigate, and the living dead, under the control of the Black Death Emperor, attacked Caruso, killed him, and also transformed him into the living dead.
"Do these rifles work against demons?" Gu Xuan also knew that Caruso was specially looking after him, so Gu Xuan also walked around the neighborhood to understand the terrain.
"It's still effective against ordinary demons." Caruso replied with a smile.
Hearing Caruso's answer, Gu Xuan nodded reassuringly. Now that the plot has changed, Caruso has to keep an eye on himself, so he doesn't go too far even when he is on patrol.
So as long as Caruso doesn't die, in the face of the sudden attack of the Black Death Emperor, Caruso will soon be able to lead the remaining remnants to organize a rebellion. And not after Caruso's death, the whole army was in chaos, and there was not even a single survivor of the investigative mission and civilian armaments.
After bathing, Xiao Naisha and Xiao Gucheng also returned to the camp, and Gu Xuan knew that the biggest test was coming. As they set out to unlock the ruins, the Black Death Emperor's plot began to take place.
"Why do you look sad?" Caruso looked at Gu Xuan's worried face and asked.
"Because it's a bit of a bad time."
Hearing Gu Xuan's answer, Caruso was stunned for a moment. The current time is around dawn, and as Gu Xuan said, this time is a keen time for magic to be active. For those demons, this is the most suitable time zone for them to attack.
"It's okay, we've set up a powerful barrier." Caruso said confidently, wanting to reassure Gu Xuan.
The development of the ruins, but there will be all kinds of snooping people, trying to get some benefits from it. For this reason, they deliberately set up a powerful barrier against the demons, so Caruso was relieved to deal with the security of humans.
For example, Gu Xuan beside him.
"Hopefully." Gu Xuan sighed, the Black Death Emperor Sect took advantage of their mentality. Disintegrate directly from the "inside", leaving the powerful barrier to cease to exist.
Seeing Nagisa and the ancient city of Akatsuki go to the ruins, a soldier of the civilian garrison on patrol, he noticed that his foot had tripped over something.
The soldier crouched down and looked carefully at what had stumbled over him, it had rained in Gozo the other day, so the land was still wet after the rain. At this moment, there seems to be a rod-like object like a dead branch protruding from the ground.
"Corpses? Captain Caruso, here's ......"
Before the soldier's words fell, the corpse seemed to be conscious, and attacked the soldier with a fierce momentum. The garrison soldier, whose throat was torn open, died before he could finish what he saw.
In the face of this sudden situation, no one was aware of it. It was because the soldier died too quickly, but a little blood flowed out when he tore his throat.
This smell of blood made Gu Xuan, who was talking to Caruso, immediately alert. Because of the relationship between the blood control ability, Gu Xuan was now very sensitive to the breath of blood, and at the same time, he looked at the situation that no one around him had noticed, and he guessed in his heart that the attack of the Black Death Emperor Sect was coming!
"Enemy attack." Gu Xuan didn't care if anyone obeyed his orders, his purpose in doing so was just to make the members of the civilian garrison vigilant.
As if he had responded to what Gu Xuan said, another soldier of the garrison screamed before he died.
