Chapter XXXVII: The Survivors
"Yes! a beautiful woman in her early 20s. Although he didn't know why Lianhua asked that, Ryder still had to answer.
"What's the problem, Hua?" asked Li Ao curiously.
"Are the soldiers not there?" Jane seemed to grasp the point after listening to Lianhua's question.
"Yes, after she gave the order, it was the government soldiers who blew me away!" Ryder replied with a nod.
"There's a problem!" Ryder's reply confirmed Lianhua's guess.
"Well, generally speaking, in the city lord's mansion, only the city lord has the right to order the government soldiers, even if the city lord's wife or children cannot directly order the government soldiers without special circumstances, this woman in her twenties should not be the city lord's wife, and the daughter is still a little possible. What is she? Do you know?"
"No, to be honest, I was thinking about other remedies at the time, and I didn't take this matter to heart, so I didn't investigate her details. Ryder replied truthfully with a shake of his head, but his voice was a little remorseful.
Jane just wanted to ask about something else, but was interrupted by Liao Ao. "According to what you say, there is indeed a problem with this woman, but let it go for a while, I'm still curious about what happened after that?
Ryder continued, "Without the help of the city lord, I had to figure out a way on my own, so I spread the rumor that the attack was a zombie disease, and this rumor did spread, and some old people more or less knew about the existence of the zombie disease, so it spread more and more, making everyone panic, but fortunately, the sense of self-protection has improved, and the number of attacks has decreased significantly, but just when I was going to go to the city lord again." Hmm~ It was probably more than half a month ago, the city lord suddenly ordered the man to stay in the city, and everyone else evacuated!"
They had heard all of this from the old woman, and things were starting to go completely right.
"Did the city lord come out and say it himself?" asked Lianhua.
"No, it was issued through a proclamation, and then the government soldiers and the soldiers defending the city participated in the cooperation, and within a few days, all the women, children and children were evacuated. Ryder thought back.
"In other words, you haven't seen the city lord since you arrived here!, and this city lord hasn't shown his face!" Jian said affirmatively after thinking for a while. "The more I think about it, the weirder it gets!"
"When you say that, my goosebumps are up!" Li Ao shrunk his head, clasped his hands on his chest and soothed his arms. "The Light hasn't looked for you since?"
Ryder nodded at Rive and said, "Yes, on the third day after the evacuation was completed, the Holy Light found me again, but this time he didn't show me the picture, but directly asked me to gather all the men left behind in the church. I immediately took action, and I went outside to find someone according to the meaning of the Holy Light, but this time I went out and realized that something was wrong, this place was like a dead city, there was no human figure, and the only ones wandering on the road were zombies!"
The other 3 people felt a chill in their backs when they heard this!
"I know it's a big problem, and the city of Kasro is getting more and more like the first picture. Fortunately, the Light did not give up on me and them, and I followed the Light's guidance to find Mr. Oban (a burly man) and his gang in the mercenary hall, Mr. Senwen (a man in a soldier's uniform) and his gang in the corner of the city wall, and Uncle Cod (a middle-aged man) under the ruins of the house. After finding them, the guidance of the Light was gone, and I knew that there were no other survivors, so I brought them all back to the church and opened the church barrier, and there were only about 50 survivors here! "If I had acted earlier, I would have saved more people!"
"Don't worry, we will definitely be able to save this city, the Holy Light has said so, then there must be no problem!" Ryder's expression was one of Rio's least favorite expressions, so he stood up, walked over to Ryder's side and patted him on the shoulder and encouraged.
"Hmm!" Ryder nodded firmly at Rio's encouragement.
"Then why is the enchantment so weak, it doesn't look like it's caused by today's day!" asked Jane, confused.
"In the first few days, everyone was safe here, the food here was sufficient, and I didn't give up looking for the person in the second picture, and I would communicate with the Holy Light every day, but all in vain. Until a few days ago, many zombies suddenly appeared around the church, and they began to attack the enchantment of the church, and the situation was the same as today, and only I was a priest, and all the skills were healing and supporting, and those survivors could not be the opponents of the zombies. I can only find a way to maintain the enchantment, although it will be a few days without danger, but the consumption of the enchantment does exist, and it is getting weaker and weaker. If you don't come today, the barrier won't last tomorrow at most. Ryder silently prayed, "Thank you for the Light." ”
"I feel like fate is holding ourselves firmly together!" said Li Ao with a sigh on his face.
It's not just Liao, everyone else has the same feeling in their hearts. If that hadn't happened, hadn't Lianhua run away from home, hadn't met Liao in the mercenary hall, hadn't taken on the mission of escorting Lucy, hadn't gone to Opa Town to attend the theater festival, hadn't let Jane get into the carriage, if all of this hadn't been true, what would it be like now!
After sighing for a while at the wonder of fate, the general situation of Kasro City has been clearly understood, so the next step is to solve this problem.
Jane looked at Ryder and asked, "I remember you said you had a way to cure zombie disease!" This was also something he was more curious about, because there was no cure for zombie disease in Master's notes.
"Let's come with me, and I'll show you something. Ryder didn't answer Jane's question, but got up and walked deeper into the church.
"What a thing, mysterious!" Although he said so, the curious Li Ao was the first to follow. Jane and Lianhua glanced at each other and followed.
Led by Ryder, the three of them walked through the church and out through the back door of the church, and it was still raining, but it was much lighter than the previous rainstorm. With the help of the lights from the church, you can see the sight of overgrown weeds outside the back door of the church, which has not been dealt with for a long time. Ryder didn't stop to remove the weeds and walked straight in, and the other three followed directly without much thought. It's just that the further you go in, the darker it gets.
"It's too dark to see anything clearly, Jane will have some light. Leon's voice floated from the front.
"Illumination. "It's a very basic and simple magic that doesn't have any other functions than lighting.
Walked a little more with the help of the "Illumination Technique".
"It's here. Ryder, who was at the front, stopped. In front of him was a large patch of white grass, and all the tenacious weeds withered and died near the grass.
"It's finally here, I'll see what it is!" Seeing Ryder stop, Liao hurriedly quickened his pace and followed, he was really too curious, and after walking quickly to Ryder's side, he couldn't help but scream after seeing the large white grass in front of him. "What is this?"
Liao Ao's voice also made Jane and Lianhua, who were walking behind, speed up their pace.
"Hundred poisonous grass!" Looking at the large white grass in front of them, Lianhua and Jian said in unison.
Ryder was not surprised that Lianhua and Jian Neng recognized it at a glance, but nodded affirmatively, "Well, this is the Hundred Poisonous Grass!"
"Well, hahaha, how do you all know each other, so can anyone tell me, what is the use of this grass? Listen to the name is more like poison!" asked Li Ao, the only one of the four who did not know the hundred poisonous grass.
"Say it. Lianhua was not happy to explain this kind of thing.
