How am I still alive

Chapter 517 Cremation
"what happened?"

"There are a large number of dead people in the north and west of the city, which are the ones we saw in the forest before. The knights have been sent to expel them, but the number is a bit large."

As he walked up the sidewalk of the city wall, Lu Pingan asked the local knight on duty.

"Where is the lord?"

"They just got the news. But judging from their panic, it shouldn't be them who caused trouble."

Although it happened suddenly, Catherine's eyeliner had already given the answer.

"Panic? Oh, I see, is something wrong with the civil society?"

"...No. It seems that because there are too many fake news and all kinds of recent disasters, the people have become numb and don't take it seriously."

Hearing this, Lu Ping'an smiled, very subtly.

[.The third disaster, the disaster of the living, the earth turns over, the poison of the dead seeps out of the surface, everywhere, when the dead return, will the revival of the ancient gods be far behind?]

Undead creatures are terrifying, but even more terrifying is the meaning of their appearance.

This is the third plague of the seven plagues, which means that the disaster has entered a new stage.

For ordinary residents, this is just a new group of monsters, which is a natural disaster, but for many people in the know, it represents a step forward in the doomsday.

"...they clashed, some destroyed their own cemetery, and some tried to destroy the shared cemetery in the civilian area"

It's fine for Lu Pingan to listen to this kind of news, but to deal with it will probably be extremely complicated and troublesome.

In fact, when Lu Ping'an and his party returned from the forest, there were knights pushing forward the "cremation" matter.

But obviously, in most of the world, "raising your ancestors" will not be a good word, especially in farming civilizations with more land resources (wasteland), burials occupy an overwhelming advantage.

Forced cremation by force?Drag all the ancestors out together?Not to mention that there is no evidence at present, even if there is evidence, the difficulty of implementing this work is really outrageous.

Judging from the results, even in the past half a month, if this work has been pushed, it means that it has not been pushed. After learning about the huge number of "potential resuscitators" in the local area, the insiders gave up completely while their scalps were numb. Plan to clean up.

On the city wall, the dead are not far away.

Lu Pingan breathed a sigh of relief, the number was less than expected, only one or two hundred came into view, and most of them were withered dead with only bones.

But the accompanying royal team was terrified.

"How is it possible, the third plague is at least a month away, how could the dead come so early!"

The surprised voice of the Rainbow Prophet was right next to Lu Ping'an's ears. The news they got was more detailed, and the scene in front of them made them incomprehensible.

The prophecy of the "seven plagues" has been verified by reality one by one. What happened in Shi Lai Ling is a bit special, but it is not the only variation. There are also disasters that appear in advance in other regions.

This level of disaster does not mark the time of each stage, but the prophets have special skills to judge the specific stage of the disaster.

Although the prophecies are already inaccurate, they keep predicting small disasters, predicting the plight that a certain place and someone will encounter. When a large number of "disasters of the dead" appear in an area, the third disaster in the prophecy will naturally Here we go.

It has to be said that although this method consumes a lot of money and is still a "preset answer" check, it can indeed predict the time of the disaster quite accurately.

".It doesn't make sense, it's incomprehensible. Did the church's prophecy go wrong?"

The prophet bit his thumb and fell into self-doubt.

He wasn't so vulnerable originally, but if the disaster really came a month earlier, it meant that all the plans were meaningless.

Lu Pingan glanced back at Catherine, and motioned for the other party to explain. On the premise of not exposing the "beast god".

There were more and more dead people outside, and Lu Pingan could visibly notice that many guards were shaken and fearful, but Lu Pingan himself was a little relaxed.

He knew that if the third plague really broke out, there would definitely not be only a few hundred in front of him. Not to mention the tide of corpses covering the city walls, even the tombs inside and outside the city may have become new corpses. source.

The outbreak of the third plague is not simply "underground erosion", but the more conceptual "order of life and death" is disintegrated, and no one will be spared when the time comes.

"Lu Pingan, meow, news has come back. Those who went to the forest to log, encountered these monsters, and then ran back meow! They brought the corpses back meow!"

The new news brought by Maomao is good news in a sense, and now the others are also relieved.

The mutation did not happen in the city, or even on a large scale. This is naturally a good thing, but it also means that
"Arrange a reconnaissance, at least, to know the situation of the forest Hua Xueyi, Zhixi, and Catherine."

Now it is unrealistic to forcefully break through the reconnaissance, but it seems that if the opponent has not yet evolved an air force, the flying reconnaissance squad should be relatively safe.

Soon, various countermeasures were issued.

Some knights went out of the city in formation and began to collect these monsters.

At the same time, a new ban has been issued, and everyone is not allowed to go to the Gray Forest.

Another job was also forcibly implemented.
"There are evil god believers outside, and the corpses have been revived. Those corpse monsters that get up will attack their blood relatives immediately. Eating their relatives will make them stronger."

Lies are more useful than the truth at this time.

When the residents saw those corpses, when the victims wailed in the city, and when some "trophies" were dragged into the city, it was natural that "cremation" became acceptable.

In particular, the deliberately fabricated rumors directly named "blood relatives" as the first target of attack, which made the residents determined to dig out their ancestors from the tomb and burn them.

During this process, Lu Pingan didn't care too much. Under his signal, the old lord came out again to stabilize people's hearts, but those who knew it knew that these actions were really meaningless.

"...Take these, bring them on, and try."

Lu Pingan took out some magic plants and gave them to the knights out of the city, asking them to collect the data of the experiment.

"This kind, you pick the fruit and throw it out. After a few seconds or tens of seconds, a bunch of sacred flames will bloom. The power is very low, but it is enough to kill mortals, don't kill yourself."

"This one, place them on the surface, they will attack all unnatural creatures around them, but don't expect too much, they are very fragile."

There were only a few hundred monsters of the dead, and Lu Pingan had no intention of going out. He picked up the binoculars on the city wall and watched all this happen.

On the other side, the temporary flying team also set off, and they might be able to bring back more reliable information.

".Perhaps, it's time to consider the way forward."
