Chapter 40: The City Lord

Lianhua waited until the woman disappeared from sight before she got up, and a dodge entered the basement.

After entering the basement, Lianhua removed the "Shadow Curtain", and cautiously walked in a narrow passage, the passage was dim and cold, and the sound of dripping water could be faintly heard, and walked along the passage all the way, and an iron door appeared in front of her, and a glimmer of light came out from the crack in the iron door.

Lianhua walked quickly to the door, stretched out her hand and pushed it gently, "Locked!" But this kind of thing of unlocking, Lianhua had already mastered it when she was 3 years old, and it was done with a "click" effortlessly. After the lock was opened, Lianhua did not rush in, but listened to the movement inside behind the door, and after making sure that there was no sound or movement inside, she gently pushed the door open, and the "Shadow Curtain" was activated and flashed in.

The inside of the iron door was very bright, and the dazzling light made Lianhua a little uncomfortable for a while, and after closing her eyes for a while.

"This is!" Lianhua looked at the scene in front of her with some surprise, this is a small laboratory, there is a table in the middle of the laboratory, and there are test tubes on the table, and the test tubes are all kinds of liquids, some of which are still bubbling. Not far from the table is a surgical chair with ropes for binding. More than a dozen large bottles of liquid sat against the wall, soaked in corpses, adults and children, men and women, and some were not humans, judging by their pointed jaws and ears, they should be elves.

Lianhua looked around for a while, so that the memory stone could take notes, and there was an iron door in the laboratory, which attracted Lianhua's attention. The door was hidden, it was dark inside, and there was no light, but the faint sound of breathing could be heard from inside.

Following the hidden door, Lianhua walked in without making any movement, and through the light outside, he could clearly see that there was a dungeon inside, there were a total of 3 cells inside, the first and second were now empty, Lianhua tiptoed through the 2 cells, and came to the outside of the third cell, only to see a sturdy man fixed to the wall by 2 huge chains, and the sound of breathing was made by him.

"Who?" the man asked as if sensing something, suddenly raising his head to look at where Lianhua was standing. "I know you're there!"

"How did he find out!" Lianhua was also surprised, "Since it was discovered, there is no need to hide," Lianhua thought like this, removed the "Shadow Curtain" and appeared in front of the man, but did not withdraw his fighting spirit.

"Hahaha~" Seeing the sudden appearance of Lianhua, the man laughed instead, but his laughter was too weak, "It seems that you are not their person! It is good to be able to find this! You are very good!Hahaha~"

"Who are you?" looked at the man, Lianhua asked coldly.

"I—I'm the lord of Kasro!" replied the man weakly, but the tone of his voice was full of the majesty of the superior. "And what about you, young man, who are you?"

"Mercenary!" Lianhua didn't want to deliberately hide it, but it was indispensable to guard against people, and besides, it was right that he was indeed a mercenary.

"Mercenary, mercenary! After listening to Lianhua's answer, the man laughed again, "It doesn't matter who you are, as long as you're not one of theirs!"

Lianhua didn't answer, but looked at him quietly.

"How is Kasro City? That woman just told me that Kasro City is over!" Seeing that Lianhua had no voice, the man paused for a moment and asked in a trembling voice.

"Yes!"

"It's my fault! it's all my fault!" After hearing Lianhua's answer, the man lowered his head and shook his head in remorse.

"What the hell is going on?" Facing the most direct parties, Lianhua wanted to figure things out.

"Hey~ Okay, let's tell you, I'm to blame!" the man paused and adjusted his tone. It was about 3 months ago, I can't remember the day, I have the habit of going to church to pray every week, that day was the same as usual, I was on the way to church to pray, I met a group of hooligans bullying a woman, as the lord of the city, how can I not care about this kind of thing, I rescued the woman, to be honest, I was deeply attracted by the woman's appearance at that time, don't look at me almost 40 years old, I have been busy with the construction of Kasro City, not married. And the woman also has a good impression of me, the life-saving benefactor. She told her to call Sakura, and we were all right. At the time, I thought it was a hero saving beauty, and the classic scene of a beautiful woman falling in love with a hero at first sight happened to me! Hmph, now that I think about it, it's really ironic, it's a great irony!" Speaking of this, the man's emotions were obviously a little excited, and the excitement tore through his weak body, and it took a while to gradually calm down," Soon, it was time for us to talk about marriage, and Sakura made a request to me, saying that she had no father or mother since she was a child, and that her master had brought her up, and now that the master was older, she hoped to bring her master to the house, on the one hand, to help her get married, and on the other hand, to take care of him in the future. Naturally, I would not refuse such a request. It was because of my refusal that Kasro City became what it is now," the man's emotions stirred up again, "She poisoned my food the day after her master came, and I didn't notice it for a while, and I caught her way." When I woke up again, I was locked up here, and she was standing in front of me, and the little bird that had been a pitiful look was gone, and I saw in her eyes only cruelty and cruelty!" The man said this, his breathing became rapid, and after breathing the air hard, "At that time she told me that everything was a lie, and that it was all a game since she was bullied by the hooligans, a game that was carefully designed against me, and the purpose was to carry out a disease called "zombie disease" in Kasro City She also told me that I was her test subject, the most important test subject. That's why I've survived to this point!" He kept muttering, "It's all my fault!"

This is the truth of the matter, after listening to the man's narration, Lianhua didn't feel that the man in front of him was at fault, he was also a victim, and people had the intention to calculate whether he was unintentional.

"Mr. Mercenary, please save this city!, please!" the man pleaded with his head bowed and in a weak voice.

"Okay!" Lianhua agreed without hesitation.

"Thank you!"

"I need to figure out a few more things. Lianhua still had some doubts in her heart.

"If there's anything you can ask!"

"Who are the two people who just followed that woman?"

"One of them is called Fleck, the other is called Jileke, they are a pair of brothers, and they are also the captain and deputy captain of the soldiers of our mansion, they were originally locked up next to me, that woman has recently developed a new type of zombie disease virus, and the two of them are the test subjects of this virus! According to her, this virus is successful!" Thinking of these two brothers, the man was a little sad, and his voice was trembling.

"This virus is not simple!" Lianhua thought to herself.

"What's the matter with that scream just now?" Lianhua continued.

"You heard it!hehehe~" The man seemed to be laughing at himself, "Just now that woman injected the pathogen of the zombie disease into my body and sealed him in my heart with magic, she said that after she got that thing, my experiment can begin!"

"What is it?" Lianhua vaguely guessed something.

"She didn't say it, she just said that it was in the church!"

"Hundred poisonous weeds!" Sure enough, as Lianhua guessed, then this would explain why the zombies would attack the church, and the suspicion was spreading little by little.

"Zombie Disease Pathogen Body!!" Lianhua found another point.

"That's what she said, right in my heart!" the man must have replied.

After getting the man's affirmative answer, Lianhua unlocked the door of the cell and went straight into the cell. It is impossible for Lianhua to leave with a person with the "Shadow Curtain", but fortunately, there is a simple "positioning teleportation scroll".
