Chapter IV

"What's going on here?" Hu Chong, who rushed to hear the sound, looked at the ruins all over the ground in amazement.

"It's nothing, my hands are itchy for a while, so I stretch my muscles." Zhang Lie said lightly.

Hu Zhong looked at him suspiciously, obviously not believing. Xiao Yu flew in front of him lightly, pretending to be vicious: "What, you don't believe it?" ā€

"No, no, no, I believe, I believe." Hu Chong hurriedly waved his hand.

Looking at the ruined house again, he sighed and turned to leave: "These days, there are more and more strange things, but since there are monsters who bring people to the door for treatment, it is not strange to demolish the house at night to play..."

"Stop!" Suddenly, Zhang Lie shouted from behind him.

Frightened, Hu Zhong cautiously turned his head, and what caught his eye was Zhang Lietieqing's face and a pair of murderous eyes. This surprise was not trivial, and he fell to his knees as soon as his knees went limp.

"What did you just say?" Zhang Lie asked.

I can't help but blame myself for this mouth, if I want to complain, I will wait until I go back to the house, what can I do here. Hu Chong said with a crying voice: "Master Zhang, I really didn't mean it just now. ā€

"I ask you, what did you just say?" Zhang Lie took a step forward with a murderous face.

"I—I mean, somebody is okay to tear down the house at night... I'm really not complaining about you, I won't dare next time, I won't dare again..."Hu Zhong said incoherently, and gave himself two slaps in the face.

"The previous one." Zhang Lie didn't seem to care about his words.

After being stunned for a moment, Hu said solemnly: "There are monsters who bring people to the door for treatment, what's wrong?" ā€

Grabbing his collar and lifting it, Zhang Lie said viciously: "Where did you hear about it?" ā€

didn't understand where he was angered by him, Hu Chong could only explain urgently: "It's news from the South China Sea Cliff." ā€

"What else did you say? What happened to the youkai and the human? ā€

Hu Chong was so anxious that he almost cried, so he had no choice but to say, "Because of business reasons, I often buy off some junior disciples of the Shushu Sect to provide information to my agents. A few days ago, there was news from the South China Sea Cliff, saying that a female monster brought a man to the door to treat her injuries, as if she had been caught by mistake, and now she is still locked up. Master Zhang, the one who provided the information was just a junior disciple, I, I really don't know anything..."

"Brother Zhang Lie, what is this?" Xiao Yu looked at Zhang Lie nervously.

"That's right, it's Annie." Zhang Lie nodded.

followed him and pushed Hu Zhong away, and said sharply: "Check it out for me immediately, the more detailed the better." ā€

"Yes, yes, let's do it if it's small." Hu Chongru was pardoned, and he ran away with a roll.

I didn't know that he didn't run a few steps, he actually turned around again, and said with a hippie smile: "Hehe, Master Zhang, you see that business is business, you want to find me to investigate intelligence, so this..."

At this time, he actually dared to negotiate the price, and I have to say that it is not a fluke that this kid can get to this point today.

Concerned about Annie, how could Zhang Lie have time to talk nonsense with him, and his brows involuntarily twisted. Hu Chong immediately knew what was going to happen, and hurriedly said: "When I didn't say it, when I didn't say it, I'll go." ā€

"Come back!" Unexpectedly, Zhang Lie drank again.

Hu Daqi just turned around, Zhang Lie had already thrown a bank card in his face. Hu Chong knew how good he was, and immediately recognized that this was an unlimited overdraft gold card, and the bitterness on his face was instantly swept away.

"Ha, with it, don't worry about the inquiry, I've not been a fool all these years." Hu Zhongzhong said happily holding the bank card.

It is better to offend a gentleman than a villain, this is a point that Zhang Lie knows very well. Hu Chong is such a villain, any intimidation can only scare him on the surface, and can not make him really do things for you, if you blindly force it hard, there is also a possibility to bite you back, even if it is not fatal, it is also quite troublesome, so the necessary money is very important. And this is one of the reasons why Zhang Lie has been able to live peacefully for so many years, because he knows very well what things can be done brutally, and what things must be solved by some means.

Waving his hand to signal Hu Chong to leave quickly, Zhang Lie's brows slowly furrowed. What he feared most had happened, and Anne had fallen into the hands of those human sorcerers.

"Brother Zhang Lie, what should I do now? Let's go get Sister Anne out. Xiao Yu shook his arm with an anxious face.

The original plan to use the mountain could no longer continue, and Zhang Lie's most urgent thing was to find another way to get the help he needed. But he couldn't ignore Annie's matter, and he barely thought about it, and Zhang Lie had already made a decision. He nodded, "Of course, I will never allow Anne to fall into the hands of those people." ā€

"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and before that, it is considered to be a good exercise. I only hope that the so-called important things that Old Man Jian Xian is doing in the secluded mountain are not talking nonsense to me. Zhang Lie thought so.

"Brother Blatt hasn't gone far, do you want to call him back now?" Xiaoyu asked again.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Lie shook his head and said, "No, Blatter has his own business, so let me do it alone this time." ā€

********************************************************************

A few days later, a Pontifical security post on the border between the Czech Republic and Poland.

After the Battle of the Vatican, the Holy See set up such guard posts throughout Europe to monitor non-human activity in the surrounding area and to assist hunters in their clean-up operations.

The afternoon sun could not stop the cold wind between the mountains, and the stone castle-like guard stood alone on a sloping hillside, and the surrounding wild grass fell to the ground in unison under the cold wind.

Two papal guards stood in front of the gate of the guard house in black monks' robes, not standing guard, as they could not detect any trace of non-human activity. It is only because of the penances of the Holy See that any guard stationed in it must stand like this for hours every day, showing piety with physical pain.

The cold wind easily penetrated into the black robe, raging on the surface of the guard's undisguised body. The two guards shivered, but remained motionless, their hands clenched to the cross on their chests and whispered prayers.

It was definitely not a pleasant thing to do, the cold was like a razor and slashing at their nerves, and the two guards stiffened, their minds went blank, and they just subconsciously recited the prayer. Finally, one of the guards couldn't take it anymore and moved slightly, flicking his stiff joints.

At this moment, he suddenly saw a very strange thing.

Looking down from the high vantage point of the guard, hundreds of dense small black dots were slowly crawling out of the woods below the slope. The guard couldn't help but be stunned, he thought he was hallucinating from the cold, and quickly rubbed his eyes.

This time he finally saw clearly, it was hundreds of people! No, hundreds of humanoid objects were slowly moving out of the woods and crawling towards the guardhouse.

They are a bunch of skeletal monsters that are naked and covered in dry skin, in other words, a bunch of zombies. But what zombies can roam in the sun with impunity?

Because the scene was so weird, the guard just watched the zombies move out of the woods and climb up the hillside, not knowing how to react for a moment. His companion was still praying with his head bowed and his eyes closed, as if the murmured prayer echoed silently, and the contrast with the scene below was even more eerie.

Finally coming back to his senses, the guard hurriedly patted his companion: "Look! ā€

Grunted dissatisfiedly, and the other guard raised his head: "What are you doing...", before he finished speaking, his eyes glanced down the hillside, and he was immediately stunned: "My God, what is that?" ā€

"It looks like a zombie."

The guard glared at him dissatisfiedly: "Don't talk nonsense, how can zombies be in the sun..."

At this moment, the zombie group, which was originally crawling slowly, suddenly rushed towards the guard station at an extremely high speed, and in an instant, it was in the middle of the hillside. Startled, the first guard hurriedly said, "Quick, go and report." ā€

"Then you must be careful!" Another guard immediately rushed into the security station.

The guard guarding outside watched in horror at the approaching zombie horde, he pulled out a runic gun from under the monk's robe, and muttered, "God, please give me strength from all evil, I pray here..."

The zombies that rushed to the front were hit, and several large holes immediately burst into the surface of their bodies. Their bodies fell to the ground at a strange angle under the force of the explosion, rolling down the slope, but the zombies behind them instantly filled their positions and continued to charge.

The guards gritted their teeth and kept firing, but they couldn't stop the tide of zombies at all. At this moment, I heard the click of the firing pin, and the rune gun had already shot all the bullets. At the same time, a zombie scurried to the ground, leaping high above his head under the guard's terrified gaze, and grabbed it with one claw.

"Ahh The screams before dying echoed in the empty mountains, and the door wall of the guard post was immediately splashed with a shocking pool of blood.

Killing the guard, the zombie screams, shrugs over and crashes into the gate of the guardhouse. I heard a loud bang, and the door of the guard house shook inward, and the zombie was bounced open by the anti-shock.

At this time, the zombies in the rear caught up one after another, and the gecko climbed up the stone wall like a goose, looking like a group of cockroaches crawling all over the wall from a distance. The thick wooden door of the guard station was also crumbling after being hit one after another.

At this moment, an enchantment of complex runes suddenly appeared on the ground around the guard station, and at the same time, countless cyan currents spread out, completely enveloping the entire guard station.

The zombies that climbed the wall hissed and fell down one after another, then torn apart by the electricity. Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining zombies quickly retreated, crawling back and forth around the barrier like wolves.

Dozens of papal guards ascended to the top of the guard station, and a priest-like guard looked at the zombies below in astonishment: "Oh my God, why are these zombies moving in the sun." ā€

As he spoke, he instructed one of the guards behind him, "Hurry up and contact the nearest guard station, just say that we have been attacked by unknown monsters and need immediate support." ā€

The guard immediately took out the communicator and began to ask for help, and after a moment, he raised his head in horror: "Oh no, several nearby security posts have also been attacked." ā€

"What!?" The priest was shocked.

Looking at the zombies who did not dare to approach around the enchantment, one of the guards said luckily: "These things can't cross the enchantment, we don't have to worry too much, we can definitely wait for reinforcements to arrive." ā€

"This is a temporary barrier, the energy inside can only last for one day, what if the reinforcements haven't arrived by then?" Another guard asked in fear.

His words immediately caused a moment of silence, and it was clear that everyone had thought of the terrible consequences. The priest was about to speak, when he heard one of the guards scream, "Behold, what are those zombies doing? ā€

Everyone followed the reputation, only to see the zombies outside the barrier below slowly huddle together, and surprisingly, the surface of these zombies' bodies slowly merged together like molten butter.

Soon, a huge piece of meat formed by dozens of zombies appeared in front of everyone, the surface of the meat block was covered with terrifying zombie faces, and the hands and feet stretched out from all directions, beating with the agitation of the meat block. As the zombies continued to pour in, the lump of flesh grew larger and larger, and its shape was terrifying.

"God, what the hell are these things...", looking at the terrible scene below, everyone couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

In a few moments, as the surface of the piece of flesh twisted, a huge zombie slowly took shape. It was five or six meters tall, its gray-black body was covered with the severed limbs of zombies that had not yet fully fused, and some of its faces were still wrestling and screaming silently, and all the grass around it was corroded by corpse qi and turned yellow and withered.

Straightening up, the big zombie slowly took two steps, and then slammed headlong into the barrier. Under the frightened gaze of everyone on the guardhouse, the large canopy of electricity exploded instantly, covering the zombie body like a chain.

The zombies screamed and kept rushing into the barrier, and the flesh on the surface of their bodies was constantly cut off by the electricity, wrapped in sparks and splashed in all directions, like fireworks in full bloom.

Finally, with a crisp sound like tearing cloth, the electricity on the surface of the barrier was violently scattered in all directions, and the runes on the ground twisted and stirred together, and then shattered, and the entire barrier had been forcibly breached.

"Shhhh With a scream, the zombie crashed headlong into the stone wall of the guard station.

There was a violent shaking, and the front wall immediately cracked with countless spider web-like cracks, and the guards on it were unstable and fell to the ground one after another, and several even fell from the wall, and were immediately trampled to death by zombies.

"Attack, attack, can't let it rush in!" The priest shouted desperately.

The guns rang out, and everything after that was like hell.

Half an hour later, a huge fire broke out at the guard station, and at the same time, several thick clouds of smoke rose into the sky near and far away, and it seems that other guard posts have also suffered the same fate.

There was no one living at the scene, and the huge zombie was lying on the ground, its body undulating like a wave, and with every twist, a zombie struggled to crawl out of its body.

On the side, two mysterious people wrapped in cloth robes watched all this quietly. A strange aura mixed with strong demonic and yin qi emanated from their bodies, and the mouth of the cloth robe was empty, except for two ghostly fires flickering, nothing else could be seen, which was extremely weird.

When the last zombie struggled to crawl out, all that was left on the ground was a crippling mass of rotten flesh. Glancing at each other, a mysterious man made a gesture of his hand, and a green fire immediately burned with a piece of flesh.

"How?" A mysterious man asked. His voice was low and pale, ghostly.

"The results are fantastic. Not afraid of the sun, the strength of the fusion is greatly increased, and it is very well controlled, and I think the elders will be happy to hear all this. The other mysterious man chuckled.

"Well, then, let's leave until anyone else arrives..."

As he spoke, the two mysterious men slowly beckoned, and the zombies present gathered together like marionettes, and left quietly from the other side of the hill under their leadership.

In a moment, the broken guard post within the flames shook and collapsed. The fire quickly spread across the hillside, leaving no trace of the scene.
