Red Moon Returns

Chapter 431 City Lord's Mansion

Lynch never wanted to be the savior of the world, especially a virtual world.

In his previous life, he was actually a very traditional person. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not bully the darkroom.

But it is enough not to bully.

Whatever you do is worthy of your conscience and does not violate your true intentions because of the falsehood here. This is the bottom line. For other things, as long as he can complete the task, he doesn't care too much about the final result.

All he wanted to do was to plant the Human Face Fruit in peace of mind to complete the mission, and by the way see what characteristics Mordiggian's disease would have when it transformed into a plague, that's all.

It's just that although historical changes have allowed the latter goal to be overfulfilled, the main goal has become a luxury. He has been working hard to resolve the crisis in the city these days just to have a stable rear area so that he can successfully complete the task.

The progress is already very bumpy, and it is still uncertain whether the final harvest will be achieved, but at least there is hope. If there is such a commotion now, the last hope may be shattered. If it is not good, even people like myself will fall here.

"Everything is not over yet. We must not give up easily until the last moment." The four of them had already avoided Dr. Swain. Lynch gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "We still have a chance. As long as we can find the body, we will Can take back the initiative.”

Officer Natalie shook her head and said, "Didn't you say that once the body is destroyed, the memories of the strange objects are likely to be suppressed?"

"I'm also speculating, it may not be true." Lynch hesitated for a moment and said, "And I'm talking about finding the body, not destroying it."

"Um?"

"There has been such a big commotion in Norland this time. The city lord may just want to resurrect his youngest son, but old Swin is spending so much effort just to help the city lord realize his wish? I don't believe it. I think he must be someone else. Purposeful."

"So what's his purpose?"

"I don't know, maybe it's just for the plague. But if he's just for the plague, he doesn't need to take the risk to keep the body after the thing is done. Now that he has left the body and protected it well, then I think this The resurrected corpse must be a very important tool for her. So once we can control this corpse, we have a hostage. As long as old Swain can give us one more day, we can complete the task. , everything after that depends on your own abilities.”

The ladies showed strange expressions and walked around in a circle, but sure enough they returned to the ultimate goal of finding the body.

Fate indeed planned everything.

In fact, it is not easy to find the resuscitated body of little Jack.

Knight Terry failed to follow the city lord and his party last night and missed the traces of Little Jack and the butler Mr. Lodge. Its current whereabouts are unknown. Although there is still a chance of staying in the city lord's mansion, the possibility is greatly reduced.

Because before the four of them went to pick off the heads this morning, they had persuaded Terry and asked him to endure the fear and return to the city lord's mansion again, hoping to find Mr. Lodge to find out the situation, but Mr. Lodge has not come back yet. I don't know. Where did he go with little Jack.

As a result, the difficulty of finding corpses has greatly increased. Although the city of more than 8,000 people is not large, trying to find two people with hidden identities is still like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But if Lynch's analysis is correct, then since the corpse is so important to old Swain, he is unlikely to let the corpse escape his control for too long. Last night, he temporarily left the corpse for a while in order to release the infected people for a sneak attack on the fortress, but Once given the opportunity, he will definitely return to the corpse as soon as possible.

As long as you find old Swain, you can probably find the body.

That's why yesterday's ambush was set against the possible mastermind.

Although Lynch almost cheated himself to death, he still felt that everything was worth it. I didn't die anyway, and I also got the other party's fresh blood.

[Secret Technique: Trail of Blood]

The fresh blood that has flowed out of the wound for no more than five minutes will be specially processed and stored. Within twenty-four hours, the location of the owner of the blood can be sensed through secret methods.

The requirements for casting materials are extremely demanding, so this secret method is not practical. Fortunately, Miss Diana has learned it, and the ambush last night was a great success.

Officer Natalie took out a small glass bottle, which contained blood that had dried at the bottom.

Even if the bottle is closed, you can still smell a putrid smell, which is the unique smell of ghoul blood.

This is the harvest last night, old Sven's blood, which may be able to find the body.

But making a desperate move is a very dangerous behavior, and most of them will fail, so everyone decided to launch two countermeasures at the same time.

Dr. Swain was responsible for preparing as many medicines as possible, and Knight Terry and his soldiers were responsible for organizing people in the city to come to the fortress to collect the medicines and take them on the spot.

This time it saves trouble. There is no need to distinguish whether there is injury or infection. Everyone in the city will be infected and everyone must take it.

It is actually difficult to organize a full-scale vaccination campaign in this era, and no one has experience, including Diana, a professional doctor from the Fifth Age.

But Lynch did. Although no one knew why he had it, he just put forward dozens of suggestions. Although some were not applicable to such a small city, most of them were quite targeted and difficult to consider without being tested in actual combat. to such a practical issue.

Miss Diana couldn't help but marvel, Mr. Lynch is really a treasure man, a natural expert in handling public affairs.

Haha, I just smiled and said nothing.

Lynch really couldn't answer, but although the source of experience was very subtle, it was effective experience that had been tested in actual combat. It was still easy to deal with such a small scene of 8,000 people. Under Lynch's guidance, the remaining less than 200 soldiers all moved. The whole city was under martial law. No one was allowed to leave their homes without soldiers following them. Then the people were guided to the fortress to take medicine in different areas, and then returned to their homes under the supervision of soldiers.

But before that, there was another problem that needed to be solved.

The city lord.

If you want to make such a big move in the city, you must get the consent of the city lord, otherwise it would be tantamount to rebellion. Terry must ask the city lord for instructions first, otherwise the soldiers may not support him.

But the city lord himself has a lot to do with this matter, can he really agree?

In order to avoid Terry going without returning, the four decided to accompany Terry to see the city lord first and then track down Old Swain.

It would be best if the city lord did not object to martial law. If he objected, the four would persuade him. If the city lord really couldn't listen, the four also knew some skills to make people reserve their opinions. Anyway, with Terry as an insider, the defense of the City Lord's Mansion should not be a problem.

And the four people also want to go to the basement to have a look. If they can find the body directly, they can save the trouble of tracking.

Terry hesitated for a while, but finally retained his objection, which shows that the skills of the four people are indeed effective.

So the soldiers began to secretly prepare for the martial law operation, and Terry led the four people and walked into the City Lord's Mansion openly.

The City Lord's Mansion is a large castle, which fully meets Lynch's imagination of a medieval castle. The castle is still peaceful, and the guards are still laughing and joking with Knight Terry, without any tension.

The group went deep into the magnificent castle. When they were about to reach the castle hall on the second floor, Terry suddenly stopped.

A familiar figure appeared at the end of the corridor.

Butler Rocky was walking out of the hall where the city lord was and walking along the corridor.

Everyone in the group had seen Rocky, but they found that his steps were a little stiff today. He ignored Terry, an acquaintance who had chatted with him until midnight last night, and brushed past several people with his head down. He only looked up when passing by, which made everyone gasp.

There was an indescribable madness in his blood-red eyes.

He was also infected.

In shock, Rocky slowly turned around and left, leaving only a stiff back.

Linqi and the other four finally understood what it felt like to be a controlled infected person, but...

He came out from inside, so where was the city lord?

Everyone looked towards the direction of the castle hall at the same time.
