Driving through potholed mud and through forest paths, the carriage reached the plain after more than two hours.

Lorne sat at the front of the cart and rode his horse, and he heard the bell from earlier, and a hint of foreboding rose in his heart. The lights of the town were also extinguished, and there was silence in the dark night rain.

"Why did the lights go out all of a sudden? Morrick poked his head out of the carriage.

"I feel like we should return. Rod rode his horse side by side, and the sinking of the town into darkness also made him uneasy.

But Lorne, though he sensed something was wrong, did not order to return. Now that he's out, he can't go home empty-handed, and he wants to find out what's going on in town.

Seeing that Lorne didn't respond, Rod whispered, "Lorne Green, do you want to keep going?"

"At least observe outside of town. Lorne replied.

Rod stopped making a sound, but snorted secretly. The group stopped on a low hill a few hundred meters outside the town and looked at the Haixin Church standing in the darkness, and Lorne took a deep breath.

"Mumu, can you see clearly?" he asked.

Mu Mu got out of the car with a raincoat, took off his round-rimmed glasses, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. The Eagle Eye is activated, and the field of vision is increased several times, and everything is slightly distorted in the eyes.

But soon he shook his head: "It's too dark to see clearly." No one seems to be walking around the city, though. "He didn't activate his night vision, so he could barely distinguish between still life and motion in the dark.

"No one is moving?" is a statement that is obviously not accepted by everyone. The town that had been lit by fire before was plunged into darkness, and the bells were heard from here, how could there be no one?

So if you want to find a suitable explanation, it's that the people in the town are hiding. When you think about it this way, everything is more like an ambush.

"I recommend returning. Rod whispered. He was not in charge of the operation, and he was accompanied by Black Pioneers, who would not listen to orders even if they gave them their own orders.

"I'd like to see what the hell they're up to. Lorne said, "Dive in from the side." ”

The three members of the team had no objections, and Rod snorted coldly, but he didn't say more. The carriage hit the road again, slowed down as it approached the town, and stopped on the side without a fence.

There was only one dilapidated wooden hut, and a few people searched the house, eliminating the threat, but to no avail. Lorne asks Mumu to climb to the roof of the house and use his eagle eye to get a bird's-eye view of the town.

Mu Mu told him about the town: "The town is not big, but there are few big roads, and the small roads are complicated. Most of the doors were closed, and the demons were supposed to be hiding in the houses. ”

"See the church?"

"See. Mumu pointed to the side and told Lorne the general route.

"Ready for action. Lorne nodded.

Rhodes suddenly stopped him: "Lorne Green, have you forgotten what Your Highness said?

"I can't wait that long, finish it early and go back early. Lorne said.

"Whoa!" Rod furrowed his eyebrows, "I won't save you if you're hunted down." ”

This sentence is also sent to you. "For the rest of the operation, we're going to try to loot the nearest house and bring it to the wagon." If you can't use a shotgun, you can't use it, it's too loud, and it will attract demons. ”

"But what if we go deeper?" asked Morrick suddenly, "are we going to run back with a whole bunch of boxes and iron?"

Lorne pressed his chin against his chin and didn't speak. This is indeed a problem, if you drive a horse-drawn carriage into the town, the target is too big, but if you transport it by manpower, it is inefficient. Thinking left and right to no avail, Lorne said, "Vote." Raise your hand in agreement to split up. ”

Mu Mu and Fei Er raised their hands, and the blonde-haired Morrick clasped his hands on his chest, seemingly embarrassed.

"Agree to drive the carriage and act together with a raised hand. ”

Rod and Morrick raised their hands. Two-on-two, the decisive vote is cast by Lorne. He finally raised his hand: "I think it's better to drive the carriage together after going deeper." ”

Everyone else was silent. The risk of the carriage entering the town is high, but considering that the demonized residents are hiding in the shadows, and acting together can ensure each other's safety, this is the only way.

It was the middle of night, and the great force of Yugshia should have set out before dawn. If he moves quickly and can catch up with them quickly, Lorne decides not to stay any longer, and has the four of them work in pairs and search the nearest house.

Rod and Mumu are a couple, Morrick and Phil are together, and Lorne is acting alone. If there is a danger that is difficult to deal with, it is necessary to fire flares and then quickly assemble and evacuate.

The teammates spread out to the sides, and Lorne entered a low-rise two-story room. Pushing open the creaking wooden door, Lorne frowned at the musty smell that rushed to his face. He covered his nose, his eyes adjusting to the darkness.

It was a bungalow that was not exquisite, with wooden walls on all sides, and a few cobwebs tangled in the corners, as if no one had lived in it for a long time. The cold stove, the already frozen candles, everything seems to be frozen.

There was also a plate of carrion on the table, which had been sitting on it for at least a few months. Lorne held his breath, not because of the stench of carrion, but because he saw the person by the window with his back to him.

The back has long shawl hair and a good figure, and she should be a young lady. She stood by the window, looking out into the darkness of the church, her hands on her chest. The sound of the door opening didn't seem to disturb her.

Lorne took a deep breath, silently drew the Queen's Blade from his waist, and shouted, "Hello, ma'am. ”

The person by the window paused, his body did not move, but his neck turned back 180 degrees. It is indeed a young lady who was once beautiful, but now she is unkempt.

She spat black slime from her mouth, and her mouth gradually opened as if to convey something, but all it came out was a strange hissing sound. Her body turned, her bones rattling and trembling slightly.

Lorne swallowed, and pulled the Queen's blade back into his waist. He remembered Yugshia's advice not to kill if he could resolve the threat. So he grabbed a twine from the wall.

The young lady seemed to be in pain, her expression contorted, and her left foot, which had just taken a step, retracted abruptly. She still seems to have very little consciousness, fighting the dark instincts.

But after a few seconds, she couldn't hold on anymore and took a step to pounce, trying to turn Lorne into a slave of the evil god, her own kind. Lorne sighed, and a shadow leap to the side, tripping her and quickly tying her hands and feet with a thick rope.

The young lady's head was twisted 180 degrees again, and her eyes were hollow. Lorne ignored it and began to gather dry food for food in the house, as well as some firewood and thick clothing to keep out the cold.

"I'm sorry. I'll give it back to you when I come back later. Lorne slammed the door with his hand.
