Chapter 71 The Undead Under the New Moon (7/24)
Stephanie chose to inform Donald of her problems before the team set out, which was quite timely, and was better than waiting until the battle to reveal it.
Calm down and think about it, this doesn't seem to be a bad thing for Donald.
You should know that Stephanie tells him about this matter alone, which is undoubtedly a sign of trust.
It’s not that Donald’s actions have moved Stephanie in the past two days, but in fact it’s a multiple-choice question.
There are five people in the Rose Team except Stephanie. Boglo and she have never said a word. Horn has a criminal record of abandoning his teammates, and Susanna is a staunch supporter of Horn.
By this calculation, only Pence and Donald were able to seek help.
Although the former seems to be trapped in Stephanie's charm, she knows her talent very well. This is only a short-term effect, and Pence will always be alone. Once he wakes up and finds the problem, it will still be an irreversible situation.
In the end, only Donald was left. Stephanie didn't want to expose her problems in the battle, so she could only turn to him for help.
The one who faces the choice at this time is Donald, of course he can choose to ignore it. After all, Stephanie is self-inflicted, but doing so may result in a result.
Once Stephanie passes by luck in the battle behind, Donald will completely lose the possibility of winning over her.
Because at this moment, he chose to give up Stephanie, and the conflict between the two is likely to affect his subsequent actions to win over Pence.
Donald made a decision quickly.
"Sterfanie, I will help you, but you can't hide anything from me anymore. I need to know your talent and ability and some of your situation... Wipe away your tears. Since you don't want to be bullied anymore, you must be tough and let everyone know that you are not easy to mess with!"
Donald quickly thought about the countermeasures, how to help Stephanie not expose her personal strength in the next battle.
Ten minutes later, Donald returned to the police station with his mood returning to normal. Several people in the team paid attention to them, but did not ask about their situation.
"I asked the sheriff here before the question Donald said, and he said that because the case ended very quickly and the witnesses had only a few experienced policemen, they did not report it, and the detailed situation was a bit unclear... I'm not sure whether he was telling the truth or the lies, but at present he has no reason to lie to us."
The case two years ago is not a simple matter to check it in detail now, and the temporary focus is not here, so Donald did not express his objection.
"Now our plan is to let these policemen stay in Redwood Town. They have notified the townsmen outside to take refuge in the town. All we have to do is to clean up the undead creatures outside and find the reasons for the undead creatures. According to the sheriff's description, these undead creatures are currently gathered about a mile southeast of the town. We rode over there. The backyard of the police station is the stable. This way, we can bring more equipment. Does anyone have any objection?"
A simple plan, this task seems to be a sanction task at present. Horn Shelley showed the judgment a captain should have, his eyes swept over the people present and stayed more on Pence, because those equipment were prepared by Pence.
No one refuted that Pence did not see Horn Shelley and acquiesced to the plan.
The group rode on their horses and left the town of Hongjiao and followed the dirt road that Donald saw when he came over in the evening.
The weather is average tonight.
In early September, the moon was a new moon, and the light was dim. The old players in the team were wearing mechanical masks. They should have been prepared before.
Donald had spiritual vision, and the night could not affect him, but just to prevent Stephanie from looking abrupt, so he also held a whale oil searchlight in his hand.
After walking along the dirt road for about 10 minutes, Horn, who was at the front of the team, raised his hand to stop.
"Undead creatures will sense all living creatures. The horses are too large and easily exposed. Next, walk forward."
Tied the horse to a nearby tree, and Donald used the horse whistle to put away the dirt puppets, and the six people gathered together.
"Susanna, look at you."
"clear."
Susanna, who was instructed, formed a magic seal on the spot, wiped her right wrist with one hand, and the magic circle moved from bottom to top, and an owl with red eyes appeared on her arm out of thin air.
"Investigate, report!"
In a short noun, the owl nodded in an extremely humane manner, turned around and took off, and then Susanna summoned two squirrels in a similar way and released them. Donald also had some understanding of what she said about communication animals and information investigation.
Susanna is obviously also a supportive disciple, but she doesn't know how powerful she is in combat.
"The intelligence gathering will take a while, and my friend will find the location of the undead creature."
While waiting, Donald looked at the bushes beside the dirt road and put Finger in his backpack.
The atmosphere of the team was a bit dull. If nothing unexpected happened, they would soon face the double-digit undead creatures. This is a dangerous number. This foresight is inevitably tense. The one who was most affected was naturally Stephanie.
She didn't say a word since she came out of the police station, but just followed Donald silently. Now she was the same, her face turned pale and the slightly gloomy environment around her made her uncomfortable.
It is inappropriate to speak and comfort me at this time, and all the teammates are next to you.
Donald is not Stephanie's nanny, he can help, but some difficulties must be overcome by herself.
Gugu~gugu~
Soon, the cry of owls came from the bushes in front of the dirt road.
"Come with me."
Susanna quickly judged the direction and led her group out of the dirt road and plunged into the bush forest. The autumn forest was covered with fallen leaves, and there were constant creaking sounds when she stepped on it. Donald held up a whale oil lamp, but actually looked at the situation ahead with his spiritual vision.
Gugu~
After walking about one or two hundred meters away, the owl's voice sounded again.
"Prepare for battle, there are 5 undead creatures ahead."
While Susanna made a sound reminder, several moving black shadows appeared in Donald's spiritual vision. Undead had no vital signs, and Donald could only judge the position by the soul fire in their heads.
The first ones to rush forward were Horn and Pence, followed by Borglow, Donald, Susan and Stephanie in the third echelon.
Roar ~ Roar!
The two sides were closer, and the undead creatures also felt the breath of life close.
Under the moonlight, with the hatred of life, the thin and shriveled corpses are moving forward frantically, and their roars are coming one after another.
The first ones to fight were Horn and Pence, and the five undead creatures could be said to have headed straight for them.
However, it was not them who killed these undead creatures first, but Borglo. His crossbow arrow aimed at the undead creatures rushing in front early. Before it got close, the crossbow arrows soaked in the holy water hit their heads repeatedly, which was extremely accurate.
The holy water burned the wounds of the undead creatures and emitted white mist. After eating the fifth crossbow arrow, an undead creature fell directly to the ground and turned into a piece of coke.
Crack!
The purple magic circle flashed over the bushes, and the thunder fell to kill an undead creature in seconds.
"In this case, you don't have to rush to take action, just watch from the side."
Donald stood beside Stephanie reminded.
There are only 5 undead creatures, and they seem to be the lowest-level one. They are even more prepared for them and will solve them all in just one meeting.
The battle ended very quickly, Donald quickly stepped forward and used the siphon bone ring to absorb the soul energy that had not completely dissipated.
His eyes swept across the undead creatures on the ground that were not completely destroyed, and Donald soon noticed that their bodies were wrapped in clothes.
"These undead creatures are very weak, the lowest level... I hope the ones behind them are the same."
Pence said, kicking the corpse on the ground.
If all of these undead creatures were like this, this mission would undoubtedly be much easier.
"You look at the clothes on these corpses. The police said it was right before. They came from the cemetery in Hongya Town. We have to go and see and find out the root cause of these corpses turning into undead creatures."
It is more important to find out the root cause than to eliminate these transformed undead creatures, otherwise the situation will only worsen over time.
"The cemetery is right in front. We take a shortcut and we can eliminate the undead creatures we encounter along the way."
Susanna took out the map and briefly compared the location, confirmed the route, and the group set off again.
This time, the pace will be much faster. On the premise of confirming that these undead creatures are only transformed by ordinary people, they naturally have fewer concerns. When they encounter undead creatures along the way, they basically use long-range weapons to solve the problem. Bullets loaded with holy water and crossbow arrows soaked in holy water. As long as they grasp the distance, they are enough to deal with these guys.
Occasionally, those who rushed forward would fall down immediately under the siege of several people.
After rushing out of the bushes, everyone came to a narrow dirt road and walked along it. The chances of undead creatures you met along the way began to increase.
"It seems that the number of undead creatures has increased again. The double digit number mentioned by the police, I think the previous one is definitely not 1."
There were more than 15 undead creatures I met along the way, and they had just arrived near the cemetery.
"Arrival, the cemetery of Hongya Town."
"I have an unknown premonition, everyone should be careful, the existence here will definitely not welcome us."
In fact, it was not a premonition, but Donald saw a large number of blue soul fires in the cemetery through his spiritual vision. He glanced at it and found that the number was more than 10.
Go a little further.
At the end of the road, there are tombstones, and the broken and corrupt dead wander in their own sleep.
