Chapter 31 - VIPs

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

In the moonlight they were ragged, like refugees. Of course, there wouldn't be any refugees rushing about in the middle of the night. These people had exceptionally pale skin and red eyes. Some of the muscles on his body started to rot, and some of the worse ones were the white bones.

They were living corpse, humanoid monsters. Likes to move at night, capturing humans and all living creatures for food.

Now, these living corpse were staggering as they walked on the road. Zero saw that behind them, there were more living corpse walking out from the direction of the Silver Tree City.

"Thirty or more." Jehan put down his infrared telescope and asked worriedly.

Teddy said anxiously: "Then what do we do, we leave immediately?"

"No, let's wait and see." Zero denied directly.

Naturally, the living corpse was not out for a stroll, there was no food outside the Silver Tree City, and a team like this was not out for the sake of hunting. Two years ago, there weren't many living corpse in the Silver Tree City. After being killed by the leaders and butchers, the newly formed social system had been destroyed. Without a leader, living corpse who had lost control of his power, would either die fighting each other or leave the Silver Tree City for a more distant place.

Right now, these thirty odd living corpse s should be all that remained. Now that the living corpse had gone all out, rather than hunting, it would be more appropriate to say that it was a group migration. The Silver Tree City did not have any extra food to provide the living corpse with to survive, unless they ate their own flesh and blood like the old living corpse that Zero had seen. Otherwise, because of hunger, the remaining living corpse would definitely have internal strife, and the surviving living corpse wouldn't be able to live for long.

These living dead were using the night's worth of time to hurry on their way. During the day they would hide in the shadows, or bury themselves in the ground until it was dark. It was an unknown journey, its destination perhaps a few kilometers away, perhaps several thousand kilometers away, perhaps … There was no end. Who knows.

The campfire had gone out and everyone was hiding in the car. As long as nothing unexpected happened, the group of migrating living corpse s had a high chance of ignoring them. But seeing that the living corpse team was getting closer and closer to the road in the direction of the farm, Jehan and the others started to get nervous. living corpse was a monster with a very sensitive sense of smell and hearing. Once these people tensed up, their body temperature would rise. If they made any more noise, they would have no choice but to fight the group of living corpse.

With the strength of their side, annihilating these thirty odd living corpse s shouldn't be a problem. However, this way, Zero could not guarantee that there would be no casualties. At the very least, the weaker women and children would not be able to escape the living corpse.

The living corpse was rushing on their way and did not notice the green car parked at the side of the abandoned farm. Thus, the people inside the carriage all heaved a sigh of relief as they saw living corpse slowly pass by.

However, the God of Luck seemed to have suddenly left. Because a living corpse in the middle of the group suddenly stopped, he strongly sniffed something, then woodenly turned around to look at the direction of the car. Following that, the living corpse left the group and swaggered towards the farm.

"Fuck, prepare to fight." Jehan cursed in a low voice and at the same time opened the safety lock on his gun.

Once they shot, the gunshots would definitely attract the attention of the other living corpse. Although these things walked very slowly, once they found food, they would run faster than rabbits and move more nimbly than monkeys. And in such an open space, even with the help of an anti-aircraft gun, it was hard to guarantee that the living corpse would not be able to pass through the fire energy web.

Fighting meant casualties, but now they had no choice.

However, Zero's hand was on Jehan's spear. "Don't shoot, I'll be right back."

With that, Zero floated silently out of the car like a ghost. Like a cautious cat, he lowered his body and used the cover of the small trees and the slope to dive into the isolated living corpse.

When he was still a few meters away from living corpse, Zero hid himself under a dwarf tree and silently watched the living corpse as it got closer.

Five meters, four meters, three meters … As the distance between them shortened, Zero's breathing became more and more slender, until it became completely silent.

living corpse came under the tree. His sharp hearing detected a strange sound coming from the tree. His voice was very soft, but it couldn't be hidden from him. living corpse raised his head only to see a white light flash past before he lost consciousness.

Both of his feet hooked onto a branch, and as living corpse passed by, he drooped down the small tree. Using the dagger in his hand, he stabbed into the center of living corpse's brows, destroying the nerves in his head and stopping living corpse's function. He nimbly jumped down the tree, used his back to lightly prop living corpse up, then used both hands to grab hold of his shoulder. Then, he carried the real body behind the tree.

Seeing how Zero quietly killed one of the living corpse s, everyone's faces became unnatural. Especially Jehan, he couldn't help but touch his own neck, and felt lucky that his head was still on his own neck. After taking care of the living corpse, there were no other living corpse approaching them. They watched as their group left, and then the people on the carriage heaved a sigh of relief.

After surviving through the night, the sun had yet to rise during the day. The green car started up, waking many who were still asleep, then turned around and headed back to the highway, continuing the unending journey.

While they were heading to Remot, a group of carriages arrived at Z7 base at the same time.

The convoy consisted of two composite armored vehicles, one in front and one behind, and a black sedan that looked like an old era. The black car had an ordinary appearance, but the interior was clad in composite armor, which was sufficient to withstand the powerful impact. Just this car that had such a grand appearance and was also a practical car, its construction cost was not even on top of the armoured vehicle. It could be called luxurious.

An hour before the convoy arrived at the base, Jetto, who was temporarily in charge of managing the base, brought the surviving miners and waited outside the base. That was the convoy from the Parkland's valve, and Jetto heard that the one who came was a huge figure.

The team stopped at the entrance of the base. Two large men in black suits got out of the car and respectfully opened the door. When a pair of black military boot s stepped out of the car door, Jetto and everyone else lowered their heads.

A young man stepped out of the back of the car. He was only in his twenties, with short, golden hair. He wore a dark red leather robe with a high collar. The leather robe was beautifully crafted, unlike the coarse clothing of this era. On the chest of the robe, there was a black pattern. It was a picture of a long sword and shield, with the style of a knight from the old era. As for the cuffs of the robe, there were two black patterns on each of them, making the robe even more extravagant.

The followers of the young man were all half-bent. Not only was it out of respect for the man's identity, it was also out of respect for the organization that this robe represented.

The name of the organization was "Dark Council" and this robe was the uniform of the organization's martial arts group "Knight of Blood"!
