After a day and a night of rapid marching, the team from Hanyang, the royal capital, finally arrived at the main gate of Mungyeong Choling Seongseong Pass in the middle of the peninsula, not far north of Sangju Fortress, just before sunset.

But at this time, the gate was already closed, and even if the army with the banner of the royal army arrived, there was still no sign of opening the door to greet him.

Even the guards above the city wall, looking at the army coming below, nervously clenched the bows and arrows and other weapons in their hands one by one.

"Bold, the king and the lady of the middle temple are traveling, why don't you hurry up and open the city gate to come out to greet you? What about the Governor? ”

At this moment, a Praetorian general leading the way came to the front of the procession and shouted at the city gate.

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers who were waiting on the city wall immediately exchanged heads and talked about it.

But none of them did anything, but each looked embarrassed.

"Damn it!"

Seeing this, the forbidden army general was immediately furious, but he was helpless.

After shouting a few more words, he planned to turn around and go back to report.

But just as he turned around, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure directly above the city gate.

"World ...... The Son? ”

Seeing this familiar figure, Don't help but be shocked, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

After all, according to the normal situation, the central army guarding the city pass at this time should be under the command of Zhao Xuezhu to lead the government.

And there is a great enmity between the abolished son and the son, how can it be ......

Thinking of this, he hurriedly turned around, raised his horsewhip, and ran towards the rear.

"Your Excellency!"

Outside the luxurious chariot, the general of the forbidden army just now was standing respectfully by the frame, reporting what he had just seen:

"The Prince...... The sinner Li Cang actually appeared on the city wall, then Lord Zhao Xuezhu should be ......"

In the carriage, Princess Zhao, who heard this, pursed her lips, and the expression on her face was cloudy.

Since the prince Li Cang is standing there in a dignified manner at this time, it also means that her father, Zhao Xuezhu, the leader of the country, is most likely in trouble at this time.

"Adult ......"

Zhao couldn't help but look at Lin Zuhui, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating on the side, and couldn't help but bow his head and say:

"Father...... Lord Leader is likely to be in danger now, please take action! ”

Lin Zuhui's eyes slowly opened, twisted his slightly stiff neck, and revealed an inexplicable smile.

Then he got up without saying a word, and without hesitating the eyes of outsiders, he took the princess Zhao and a group of accompanying ministers to the city gate.

Looking at the closed wooden gate in front of him, the corners of Lin Zuhui's mouth rose slightly.

In the incomprehensible and puzzled eyes of everyone, under the light of the dim afterglow, a big guy with a ghostly light appeared out of thin air in the outstretched hands.

This strange scene immediately shocked everyone present, but what surprised them even more was still to come.

After a skillful and fast operation, the black hole cannon was suddenly driven to Lin Zuhui's arm and aimed at the city gate not far ahead.

At this time, above the city gate, the prince Li Cang and others also had a premonition that something was wrong.

"Shoot the arrows!"

As Li Cang, who had regained control of the army, gave an order, dozens of sharp arrows slashed towards Lin Zuhui, who was acting strangely below the city wall.

But when it fell more than ten meters around it, it suddenly stopped, hovering in mid-air, as if it was frozen, unable to move.

"What?!"

This strange scene suddenly shocked Li Cang and the others, and their eyes widened in disbelief.

But before they could react, a blazing flame suddenly appeared, and in the blink of an eye, it came to the closed gate.

Rumble!

The blazing fire was accompanied by a loud bang, and everyone above the city only felt that the city wall under their feet shook.

Immediately afterwards, a cry of pain and a loud roar were heard coming from the gate below:

"The gates are broken!"

……

Twenty minutes later.

Inside the camp of the gatekeepers.

Groups of soldiers from Hanyang, the royal capital, were transporting corpses and cleaning up the bloody camp.

In the school field in the center of the camp, Li Cang, the prince of the world, and Shu Fei, the medical girl, were kneeling on the ground, waiting for the fall like mourning dogs.

On the side, I watched my father lying there without knowing whether he was alive or dead, and the hideous wound on his face was terrifying.

Princess Zhao glanced at Li Cang, the prince who was kneeling on the ground in front of her, and then came to Lin Zuhui's side, bowed her head and asked:

"Your Excellency, please put to death these treasonous sinners!"

Lin Zuhui didn't say a word, and he didn't even bother to pay attention to her, just looked at the medical practice record submitted by Shu Fei, a doctor in hand.

】

Among them, the relevant records about the grass of life and death are scattered, but unfortunately, it still seems to be wrong.

Or rather, not enough.

"How much do you know about the grass of life and death, tell it all."

Closing the note and casually throwing it back in front of Shu Fei, the medical woman who was kneeling there, Lin Zuhui opened his mouth surgingly.

A few days ago, when he first came to this dungeon world, he had seen the woman in front of him.

At that time, she seemed to be extremely confused about life and death grass and resurrection, but now, it is completely different.

"I ...... Big...... Adult, the villain knows that all the information has been recorded on it, and I ...... the rest."

The medical woman Shu Fei raised her head and peeked at Lin Zuhui, and then hurriedly lowered her head and said in a trembling voice.

Lin Zuhui today does not seem to be much different from when they met a few days ago.

But the corpses of the soldiers who were ruthlessly tortured and killed at the city gate and in the camp were not yet cold, and Lin Zuhui at this time was tantamount to a demon who killed people without blinking an eye in the eyes of her and others.

"Are you sure?"

Hearing this, Lin Zuhui frowned slightly, and the patience in his body became more and more reduced.

This damn grass, it's that hard?

"Yes...... Yes, my lord. ”

For a while, the atmosphere on the field became extremely solidified, especially when Lin Zuhui, who was the center of the audience, stood there with a cold face and said nothing.

At this time, Lin Zuhui already felt that his patience was about to be reduced to the minimum.

After tossing for so long, a small pre-task can't be completed, is it so difficult?

Just when the scene was a bit stalemate, Zhao Xuezhu, who was lying there without knowing his life and death, had further deteriorated.

"That...... That Lord Cho Hak-so seems to be ...... It seems to be getting colder and colder......"

At this time, the maid who was in charge of taking care of the injured Zhao Xuezhu on the side suddenly hesitated and whispered.

Hearing this, Shu Fei, a medical woman kneeling on the ground, hurriedly got up and went over to check Zhao Xuezhu's condition.

His face turned pale, his body temperature had dropped to a critical point, and his breath was getting weaker and weaker.

Although it was bitten by the first generation of zombies after being artificially created and not mutated, it was not assimilated and infected into the second generation of mutant zombies for the first time.

However, his physical condition continued to deteriorate and did not improve for a long time.

Seeing that Zhao Xuezhu's physical condition was becoming more and more severe, Shu Fei, a medical girl who was anxious at this time, had a flash of inspiration.

Hurriedly got up, came to Lin Zuhui, who was frowning and contemplative, and knelt down with a plop, begging:

"The villain suddenly thought of a solution, maybe it can solve Lord Cho Hak-so's injury, please allow ......"

Hearing this, Lin Zuhui came back to his senses from his contemplation, looked at her and said in a deep voice:

"Wake him up? What's the point? ”

After speaking, he slapped his head like an epiphany, and said with a smile:

"Ah, I almost forgot to tell you, if there is no answer to my satisfaction today, then all of you ...... They all have to die! ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was shocked.

But looking at Lin Zuhui's smile with boundless chill, it was obvious that he was really not joking.

He really had this intention.

"Wait a minute!"

Hearing this, Shu Fei trembled, but still said stubbornly:

"Please give me another chance at the next time, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!"

Lin Zuhui looked down at her slightly thin body, but her small body seemed to have huge energy at this time.

Lin Zuhui's eyes flickered, and then he turned his head to look at the Zhao family beside him, who was also silent, with his head down:

"Give her what she wants."

Princess Zhao nodded hurriedly: "Yes, my lord." ”

……

At the request of the medical woman Shu Fei, Zhao asked his subordinates to find a large wooden basin, the kind specially used for people to bathe.

Afterwards, the medical woman Shu Fei asked Zhao Xuezhu, who was unconscious and was on the verge of death, to slowly put it into a wooden basin filled with water.

At this time, Lin Zuhui was also standing on the side watching all this.

Combined with the information about the grass of life and death that he got now, he suddenly realized something at this time.

It stands to reason that this kind of zombie that was born does not seem to be much different from those of modern zombies in later generations.

But in his description, these guys who roll their eyes and scream all day long with their mouths wide open are afraid of fire and water.

Is this reasonable?

How can a senseless monster be afraid?

Unless...... Those who are afraid of fire and water are not them!

"The water in the ditches wasn't very deep, but the patients didn't dare to touch it, and when they fell into the water, they seemed to lose their ability to move instantly. If they are afraid of fire because of the high temperature, then ...... Why are they afraid of water?"

As Zhao Xuezhu was slowly sunk into the water, Shu Fei, the medical woman who was staring closely, explained her guess on the side.

“…… And from what I've observed these days, there doesn't seem to be anything special about the grass itself, so ......"

Before the words fell, suddenly, Zhao Hak-so's body, which sank into the basin and lost consciousness, began to struggle violently involuntarily.

Seeing this, the subordinates on the side immediately held him down and imprisoned him firmly in the water, leaving only his head outside.

But the strange thing is that after only struggling for a while, Cho Hak-so regained his quietness and looked the same as before.

Seeing this, the doctor girl Shu Fei couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and always felt that something was wrong.

"Get out of the way!"

At this time, Lin Zuhui, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines, suddenly approached, drove away the people who were surrounding him, and directly reached out and pressed Zhao Xuezhu in the water in the surprised eyes of everyone, so that his whole person, including his head, completely sank into the water.

"Father!"

Seeing this, the princess Zhao who was not far away was suddenly shocked, but she didn't dare to step forward at all.

Worry is worry, but compared to the fear and deterrence brought by Lin Zuhui, it is nothing at all.

"This ......"

Without waiting for the reaction of everyone present, Shu Fei, the medical woman who had been staring at the water situation, suddenly exclaimed.

I saw that Zhao Xuezhu, who was sinking into the water, suddenly shook violently and struggled, but it was useless under Lin Zuhui's hands, and he was still pressed in the water.

Then, an incredible scene appeared.

As Zhao Hak-su struggled with his weakness, white and slender nematodes suddenly burrowed out of the festering wounds on his face, and even from his nostrils and ears.

After a feeble struggle in the water, he finally lost his movement completely.

"What is this?"

Seeing this, the doctor Shu Fei couldn't help but cover her mouth, and suddenly realized in her heart.

Could it be that the things that bring people back to life and even become man-eating monsters are not the grass of life and death, but these crazy guys?

"Take its juice and insert it into the ...... of the Intang"

At this time, Lin Zuhui let go of his hand, looked thoughtfully at the terrible scene in front of him, and muttered to himself:

"If it has nothing to do with grass, then what kind of nematode-like gadget is messing around?"

Parasite?

Lin Zuhui, who thought of this, also knew in his heart.

Yes, no wonder there has been no useful clue, it turns out that the real protagonist has been mistaken all along.

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be this kind of thing that parasitizes on the grass of life and death, and finally enters the human body through that method, that is...... Eggs parasitic on grass? ”

【Ding! Mission 1: 'Finding out the Secret of Life and Death Grass' completed]

[Phase 2 mission opens, sweep up all infected people on the entire peninsula]

[Hint: The space-time channel is ready, and the host can return to the original world at any time, with a time limit of three days]

The continuous crisp prompts sounded in Lin Zuhui's mind, which made him feel very good.

A small decryption mission actually wasted his time for so long.

Sweep up zombies?

I'm good at that!

"That's right!"

Thinking of this, Lin Zuhui suddenly recalled the introduction before the start of the mission, as if, this time there are not many restrictions on going back and forth to the dungeon world like last time?

In other words, this time, he didn't really have to fight alone?

……

Seoul.

When the night is dark.

The Sanxing secret experimental base under the northern suburbs of the mine is in a closed room deep inside.

The illusory and transparent vortex slowly dissipated, and a figure appeared in the room.

"Whew~!"

Lin Zuhui, who finally came back, let out a sigh of relief, and the whole person felt a lot more relaxed.

It's really the ghost place of the ancient peninsula, and it's really too simple, backward and boring.

The rooms are equipped with all the necessary infrastructure.

After taking a simple shower and changing clothes, Lin Zuhui took out his mobile phone and checked the situation in Seoul in the past few days when he disappeared.

"The old guy is finally gone?"

"The group has an internal board of directors?"

Looking at the continuous report messages sent by An Zhengxun and others on his mobile phone these days, Lin Zuhui's face kept changing, until the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Have you started?

Luckily, it wasn't too late to come back!

"The old guy didn't see him for the last time, it's a pity to blame ......"

Lin Zuhui touched his chin, somewhat pity.

If the time on your side doesn't conflict, you can also give Lee Kun-hee, a good father-in-law, a ride at the end, and see his expression when he learns the truth of everything, it should be very exciting, right?

"Pity my filial piety.

”

Lin Zuhui sighed 'lost', then turned around and left the quiet room, taking advantage of the night, and rushed back to Seoul.
