The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 158 White Jade Bi

After repeatedly confirming the safety below, Hou Shijun opened the door and stepped out from inside.

At this moment, the fear in her eyes does not diminish, after all, what she saw just now will be a shadow that she will never be able to erase in her life.

Watching Hou Shijun descend slowly from the stairs, Zhao Yanxun asked the guards to go out and wait, while he waited for the survivor to come down.

Even the guards went too far and closed the door when they left the room, which made Zhao Yanxun slightly astonished.

Are you that impatient?

Even if it is, it depends on when and where it is!

Zhao Yanxun secretly complained about herself, but Hou Shiyun had already walked down the stairs, facing Zhao Yanxun, she saluted and said: "Little girl sees the prince!"

"You recognize me?"

"The little girl was once summoned by the princess, and she met the prince when she entered the palace, so she knew each other!"

Zhao Yanxun nodded, he didn't care much about the back house, so it's normal not to know.

Randomly found a chair and sat down, Zhao Yanxun poured himself a cup of tea and asked, "Are you from this mansion?"

Now that he recognized Zhao Yanxun's identity, Hou Shiyun replied honestly: "The little girl is the daughter of the prefect of Yuanyang!"

"What happened in the mansion today? The monster broke out from your house?"

Hou Shiyun shook her head and replied: "I don't know, it's just that my sister-in-law told me just now that my father cheated on him!"

Hou Yunhe died, and then the fraudulent corpse came back to life?Does this mean that he is the source of this infection?

"Your sister-in-law is the woman who rushed out of the room just now?" Zhao Yanxun picked up the teacup.

Hou Shiyun nodded and admitted that Zhao Yanxun was very disappointed. He still wanted to ask sister-in-law Hou Shiyun for a question!

After taking a sip of tea, Zhao Yanxun stared at Hou Shiyun's pretty face and asked, "Where were you when the incident happened?"

Hou Shiyun wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and replied: "My father passed away in the afternoon, and I passed out due to excessive grief. When I woke up, I was sent back to the boudoir!"

"My mother asked me to rest first, and said that after the uncles who pay condolences leave later, I will go to wake up for my father!"

"What happened later?" Zhao Yanxun asked as he put down his teacup.

"After dark, I was drinking the porridge brought by my mother, but I heard a sudden commotion outside!"

"Then my sister-in-law and her two nephews ran over from the front yard, shouting at daddy that he cheated on the corpse!"

"Before I recovered, I heard screams coming from the front yard. I was so scared that I immediately hid in the attic!"

Seeing Zhao Yanxun listening carefully, Hou Shiyun tried hard to calm down the fear in his heart, and then continued: "The screams stopped, but not long after... a monster rushed into the backyard!"

"At that time, the monster was right outside my door. I thought I was going to die, but my little nephew ran out and the monster was lured by him!"

"And then my little nephew..."

Speaking of this, Hou Shiyun choked up and couldn't speak for a moment, Zhao Yanxun didn't urge her.

"The monster killed him, and also killed my sister-in-law who rushed out to save others and my other nephew!"

Hou Yunhe died, Hou Yuanliang died, and the mother and son who met just now also died, presumably Hou Yunhe's wife was also in danger.

Except for the woman in front of me, the Hou family must be dead.

"What's unusual about your father during this time?"

Since Hou Yunhe might be the first mutation, we have to find a breakthrough in him.

After thinking for a while and having no idea, Hou Shiyun said: "My father has been in poor health. After being sick in bed a month ago, he never recovered until he passed away yesterday..."

Looking up at Zhao Yanxun, Hou Shiyun replied: "There is nothing unusual during this period!"

Zhao Yanxun didn't continue to ask questions. Now it is basically certain that the outbreak of zombies is related to Hou Yunhe.

"Take me to your father's room!" Zhao Yanxun stood up and said.

Walking to the door, the guards who heard the movement outside immediately opened the door of the room.

Noticing that Hou Shijun hadn't moved, Zhao Yanxun turned around and said, "Don't worry, it's safe outside, come out!"

Although she still felt scared, Hou Shijun still held back her fear and walked out of the room.

As soon as she went out, there were several corpses outside, and she was so frightened that she immediately leaned behind Zhao Yanxun to hide.

This scene was watched by a group of guards. Although they couldn't help laughing, they still held back in front of Zhao Yanxun.

"He's dead, let's go!" Zhao Yanxun stepped forward.

For some reason, Hou Shiyun pulled Zhao Yanxun by the corner of his clothes and followed him all the way out.

Zhao Yanxun asked with a broken smile, "How do you lead the way?"

"It's right in front, go straight through the door and it's my father's residence!" Hou Shiyun replied cautiously.

Under her guidance, Zhao Yanxun came all the way to the main room in the backyard.

In the living room, Zhao Yanxun wandered around, but found nothing.

When he walked out of the main room and saw the clean room on the west side, he asked Hou Shiyun beside him, "Where is that place?"

"My father's study!"

"Go and have a look!" After saying this, Zhao Yanxun walked over first.

The door was locked, so the inside was not damaged.

"The key is under the control of my mother, I don't know..."

Before Hou Shiyun finished speaking, he heard a "bang" in front of him, and then saw the door was opened.

For Zhao Yanxun, there is no need for a key to open the door, as long as one has hands.

It was dark at the moment, and the room was pitch black, but when Zhao Yanxun stepped into the room, the system immediately sounded an alarm.

This is an alarm triggered by the system when the zombie is within three meters.

Holding Hou Shiyun's waist, Zhao Yanxun quickly exited the room, put Hou Shiyun down and immediately drew his knife out of its sheath.

Seeing this situation, the guards also drew their swords one after another, and stood in front of Zhao Yanxun in a row.

The system awareness was turned on, and there was nothing in the study where the alarm was triggered just now.

Is there something wrong with the system?Zhao Yanxun thought so.

With a group of guards, Zhao Yanxun returned to the room again, and sure enough, the system alarm sounded again.

But the perception he activated on his own initiative told him clearly that there were no zombies within 30 meters.

"Turn on the lamp inside!" Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice.

Since this broken system is unreliable, he can only look at it with his eyes.

Soon the lights in the room were turned on, and Zhao Yanxun looked around, and this was an ordinary study.

The system is still sending out warnings, but apart from the guards, there is not a single living creature here.

But no matter what, there is something weird in this room, Zhao Yanxun immediately asked people to search the place.

The one stayed outside and was afraid, so Hou Shiyun also entered the study. After the accident just now, the way she looked at Zhao Yanxun changed.

But at this moment, Zhao Yanxun's attention fell on the box in the middle of the bookshelf.

This thing is so conspicuous that Zhao Yanxun doesn't care whether he wants to notice it or not.

The box is made of red sandalwood, and it is natural that the contents inside can be stored in such a precious wooden box.

Accompanied by the rapid alarm sound of the system, Zhao Yanxun approached the wooden box.

But when he reached out his hand to lift the lid and saw the jade disc emitting a white halo of light inside, he immediately closed the wooden box on the next moment.
