Chapter 243: Zombies
Standing in front of Artis, looking at the kneeling man, everyone hesitated for a while, and then they all knelt down. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The Li family has been accumulating prestige in Lizhou for a long time, and the rule of three generations of Li family governors has made Lizhou the private property of the Li family.
In this case, as the son of the Li family, it is a matter of course to inherit the family business after the death of the governor.
And this time, the people gathered by Artis are either some generals and ministers, or their own cronies, compared to others, they are more towards him, the son of the Li family.
Seeing everyone like this, Artis also nodded with satisfaction.
In the current situation, having the support of the people in front of him is enough for him to sit firmly on his feet during this period of time and not cause more turmoil.
"General Lee Sung-in..." Looking in front of him, Artis's gaze gradually fixed on a tall and majestic man in front of him.
Feeling the deep gaze of Artis, this man's body stiffened, and he felt a majesty that he had never felt before, which made his heart awe.
"During this time, you lead your Chengwu army to take over the city defenses of all parts of Liyang, and if you find a riot, no matter who it is, take it immediately!"
With these words, Li Chengren felt that the pressure on his body was relaxed, and he hurriedly responded.
Seeing him like this, Artis shook his head.
"Also, keep the news on hold for now, and don't let the news of the Governor's death spread everywhere. ”
Although there is no hope that it can be hidden, it can be delayed for a while and give Artis more preparation.
・・・・・・
A month passed quickly.
During this period of time, the original governor of Lizhou has not heard from him for a long time, which has caused rumors to spread everywhere in Deli Prefecture, and even the surrounding states have reacted, and it seems that they are a little ready to move.
In this case, with different purposes, there are people all over Lizhou who have moved.
For these actions, Artis was unmoved, but appeared in front of outsiders more frequently, letting everyone know that the Li family and son who were originally lying on the hospital bed had recovered.
Of course, it's not that there is no action.
In Lizhou, Liyang County is the capital of Lizhou and the Governor's Palace. During this time, it was calm.
This is naturally because of Artis's previous actions, Liyang, as the capital of Lizhou, as long as it is not chaotic, no matter how chaotic other places are, it can be slowly calmed down. On the contrary, if even Liyang is in chaos, then the scene is really uncontrollable.
Therefore, Artis sent his generals early to take over the army near Liyang, and asked Li Chengren to send people to garrison various places, once there were bad signs of something, it would be immediately suppressed strongly.
With this measure, Liyang was able to calm down.
Thus, it was a few months later, and when the fire was almost ready, the news of the death of the governor was officially sent out by Artis.
The death of the governor, in this troubled environment, the turmoil caused can be imagined, but after the previous riots, the entire Li Zhou has adapted.
The most important thing is that in Liyang County, with the efforts of Artis, it can barely maintain peace.
In this case, Artis quickly took over the governor's position, and the originally turbulent situation gradually stabilized.
In this process, it is not that no one in the nearby states has thought of sending people over to attack Lizhou while the old and the new are taking over, but under the influence of various factors, they have not yet had time to implement it.
Lizhou is located in the south, and is bordered only by Shuzhou, Yangzhou and Jinzhou.
Among these three continents, Shuzhou is located in the middle of nowhere, and at this time there is a fire in the rear, and rebellions are everywhere. Jinzhou was torn apart, and several feudal towns attacked for days, so there was no time to take care of anything else for the time being.
Only Yangzhou has long been unified, and has the strength to attack Lizhou, and in the original trajectory, Lizhou was indeed annexed by Yangzhou in the end.
But Artis knew that during this time period, Liu Xuan, the king of Yangzhou, was also dying, and zombies and ghosts were everywhere under his rule, although he had the intention to annex Lizhou, but in this time, he couldn't come at all.
In fact, on the original trajectory, if it weren't for the slaughter of the Li family, which led to chaos in Lizhou, it would not have been annexed by others in the end.
At this time, the moonlight outside the window was scarce, spreading all over the place, and in the huge mansion, there was a faint cold bloody breath coming from outside.
Sensing this, a faint smile appeared on Artis's face: "It's finally here." ”
It was night at this time, and the guards who were originally guarding this place had long been dismissed by him, and he was the only one left.
At this moment, a muffled sound came from the wall in the distance.
Knock! Knock!
Strange sounds came from time to time, and with the midnight of the night, it seemed extremely abrupt against the background of the frightening silence of the surroundings.
The eerie sound continued for a while, and then a cracking sound was heard.
Artis sighed and turned to look to the side.
There, a creepy figure was slowly approaching.
His body was stiff, and although he looked like an ordinary person, the stiffness and awkwardness of the corpse could still be seen in some subtleties.
His clothes were shabby, almost like a beggar, but there was a thick smell of blood on his body, and the strong smell of corpses and blood.
"It's already at the peak of the second level..."
Artis looked at the zombie and felt helpless for the Li family's luck.
With such a zombie, even if the Li family is the governor who rules a state, it will feel powerless.
After all, the extraordinary power of this world is only about three levels at the highest. A zombie at the peak of the second level can be called insoluble without the same strength to resist.
Being targeted by such a zombie, it is no wonder that the original Li family was wiped out.
"Son, grandson, grandson," a hoarse voice slowly came.
The zombie's hair is scattered, and its red eyes are gradually turning golden...
This is a yellow-eyed zombie, which is equivalent to a second-level existence.
Zombies are a life that is extremely difficult to form. And it is often not very powerful, and there are very few zombies above level 3, so it is very easy to divide.
Zombies, in the initial awakening, need to go through a long time, absorb enough power in the formation process, and reach the complex conditions for breeding zombies before they can wake up.
Zombies are formed, either because of the atmosphere, or because of resentment, or because of the bloody battlefield, because of the different reasons for the formation, the final zombie power and types are also different, but they have some things in common.
The first awakened zombies resemble corpses. Tier 1 zombies are much better, and their eyes will turn blood red. Level 2 zombies will metamorphose, and their eyes will turn golden. The third-level zombie is cyan, and it is also the strongest zombie that has ever appeared in this world.
As for the intelligence of zombies, although it is related to their own strength, it is more that it takes time and other conditions to conceive.
For example, the zombie in front of Artis was formed by the ancestors of the Li family absorbing the earth's qi, so its potential is extremely strong, so it can be quickly promoted to the second level.
Moreover, because of the bloodline connection, every time this zombie absorbs the bloodline of a descendant of the Li family, it can increase its intelligence and potential by one point.
A little bloody breath was spreading, and the zombies were slowly walking towards Artis, seemingly walking very slowly, but in fact they had locked Artis in.
Sensing this situation, Artis looked at the figures in front of him with interest, without any fear.
As if sensing this situation, the zombie's body froze slightly, and seemed to hesitate.
But his newly awakened mind was not enough to support too much thinking, so after a while, he continued to walk towards Artis in front of him.
An afterimage pierced the space, leaving a violent sound of breaking the air.
In an instant, the zombie, which had been like a normal human, opened its fangs and turned into a towering monster.
The monster erupted with a terrifying aura all over its body, and in an instant, it burst out of a large crater around it.
However, when the zombie pounced on Artis, it was suddenly stunned.
At this moment, Artis's figure gradually blurred and disappeared directly.
This change made the zombies who had not yet fully turned on their minds stunned, and they didn't know what was going on.
Then, all around, a little light gradually coalesced, forming an indestructible chain that bound the terrifying monster tightly.
Roar!!!
The earth-shattering roar erupted here, like the call of a beast to die, and the terrifying power made everything around it tremble.
"What kind of sound is that?" The outside world heard this terrifying roar, and some people looked at the mansion in shock.
"No, Your Excellency the Governor is still inside!" One of the guards woke up and tried to rush in, but was stopped.
"The Governor has decreed that no one shall enter without permission. The two generals were expressionless and stopped everyone outside.
"This..." The rest of the guards looked at each other, listened to the constant roar in front of them, and then looked at the generals who were blocking in front of them, and finally had to give up.
The chilling roar inside lasted for a long time, and at some point it stopped, as if it had been cut off.
Inside, Artis looked at the terrifying zombie tightly bound in front of him, and his originally frowning brow was slightly soothed.
"This zombie, born by virtue of the earth's qi, has a deep and close connection with the bloodline of the descendants, so the more you absorb the bloodline of the descendants, the stronger the potential. ”
"Although this connection has caused great trouble to the Li family, if the ability is enough, with this connection, it may not be impossible to try to control this zombie and turn the ancestor zombie who was originally crazy to kill descendants into a protector..."
Artis muttered to himself, his finger reaching out and touching the zombie's forehead in an instant.
If you look closely, you can see that on Ardis's fingertips, a little crimson crystal blood is attached to it, and it is stained on the zombie's forehead with Ardis's movements.
Suddenly, the zombies that had resisted violently froze, and their golden pupils, which were originally full of ferocity, flashed a trace of confusion.
In his mind, the memories of his life were rapidly regressing, and after turning into zombies, the bloodlines that had turned into dead blood were active again.
Not only his own bloodline, but also the bloodline and memories of the Li clan people he absorbed, all of them came to life under the attraction of Artis at this time, and kept revisiting in the mind of this ancestor zombie.
As this process continued, the zombie movements that had been struggling gradually stopped, the original ferocity had disappeared, and a little kindness slowly grew in the eyes of Artis.
