Chapter 409 Cemetery Guard
The job of checking the four victims is not that easy.
In fact, before the infected people reach a large scale, the infected people are not difficult to deal with. As long as they wear full-body protective gear, the infected people will have a hard time injuring and tearing the skin of the target. Only the reaction speed and strength are weaker than the infected people. Only ordinary civilians are at risk.
But even so, contacting them is still a very scary job. Once injured, the infection rate and death rate are almost 100%, making it like dancing on the tip of a knife.
But Officers Lynch and Natalie still went in, otherwise they couldn’t have let the three charming magicians go in, even though there was a cultist hidden inside who could kill the rest of them combined.
Fortunately, they are held in solitary confinement, so that’s easy to handle.
Natalie kicked away the infected man who was stuck in front of the fence. Dr. Swain used his grasp to control the fallen soldier. Lynch took the opportunity to open the cell door. Natalie rushed in and wrapped the soldier's hands and feet with iron chains. Lin Qi took the opportunity to open the cell door. Qi used a wooden stick to plug the opponent's biting mouth. Dr. Swain released the secret restraint and rushed forward to cut open the opponent's clothes and strip him naked. However, he had to be careful not to injure the opponent. Some people were worried that blood could also spread.
As for Diana and Judy, they were sitting at the small guard table at the door, each holding a cup of black tea and cheering for the three of them happily.
After an angry Lynch knocked down one of them, he rushed out and taught the two of them a lesson. He wanted them to regret what they had done.
He poured himself two glasses and drank them all.
In short, the inspection work went very smoothly.
Like the first victim Leonard, the four victims had no scratches on their bodies. Lynch used the forensic knowledge he learned from the drama in his previous life to guide Dr. Swain and Miss Diana, who assisted in the examination, to check for pinholes in hidden places, such as behind the ears and on the legs. It was quite... The professional advice made the two doctors look at him with great admiration.
Unfortunately, no wounds were found in these locations, which shows that the cause of infection in these people was not trauma.
"It seems that the experiment of the mastermind behind the scenes is successful. He has a controllable method that can stably infect people with this plague."
All five people know that, The opponent must be found out as soon as possible, otherwise the next step is likely to be large-scale use.
"Do you really want to dig a grave?"
Officer Natalie's eyes were a little hesitant.
"This is also an unavoidable choice. We are not robbing tombs, we just need to confirm my guess." Lynch thought for a while and added, "After all, if we want to accuse the city lord of causing the plague, we can't just rely on speculation and a theory. Open your mouth, we can, but others in the city can’t.”
"I'm not worried about this. I'm not really a police officer." The police officer glared at him. "I'm worried that there will inevitably be people in public places like cemeteries. If we go in and dig, we will dig the cemetery of the city owner's house. Someone will find out and beat us." Get up. "
Yes, this is not facing those program-controlled NPCs in the game.
Lin Qi was stunned, but fortunately Dr. Swain had eased everyone's hearts.
"It doesn't matter. The cemetery is outside the city. There are usually no people there except for one gravekeeper. And since we have been harassing us recently, no one should dare to go there."
Is it really okay to say that we are being harassed?
The four of them looked at the female doctor with strange eyes, and found that after getting familiar with her, this lady still had many interesting faces.
With Dr. Swain's assurance, the four of them no longer worried. Under the leadership of the female doctor, they quickly rushed to their destination outside the west gate.
Lin Qi found out that the cemetery was actually outside the city wall and the area was not more than 200 meters away. This made him relieved, otherwise he would have to find ways to make excuses.
The western part of the city is basically full of residential buildings, but in the past few days, people in the city have been panicked, and the place is also desolate. Although it is almost eight o'clock, there is still not much popularity here. Everyone is hiding at home and unwilling to go out. , just like everyone disappeared out of thin air.
Fortunately, the road will not disappear. As soon as you exit the west gate, you can see a side branch on the side of the dirt road extending along the city wall and extending into a vague shadow in the distance.
It is a cemetery surrounded by fences and shrubs. It is not very big. After all, the city has only a hundred years of history, and it has grown from a small town of more than a thousand people to the present. There are not many dead people in total, not to mention There was also a group of enthusiastic neighbors next door who helped clean up the bodies.
"We actually also eat human food, but we need to supplement the necessary death elements from human corpses, so we eat some corpses regularly." Dr. Swain, who was doing science popularization for everyone on the way, explained enthusiastically ：
"We generally don't touch fresh corpses because they don't have the elements we need. It's best to have corpses that have been buried for decades. They have the best quality and taste. When you take a bite, they are full of death elements. Everyone likes to eat them. "
At this moment, only Judy didn't listen at all, and the other three all showed embarrassing yet disgusting smiles. This thing was too harsh.
"Hahaha, that was in ancient times. Now our clansmen are also developing. We don't pounce on the corpses, tear them and lick them. We extract the elements, put them in small bottles, and take them out to eat when needed. You guys Haven't humans also abandoned the habit of consuming hair and drinking blood? "Everyone is getting better."
The four of them were speechless. Even from a human perspective, they had to admit that this female ghoul was talking a lot. It makes sense, Lynch wants to hit people if it makes sense.
What a pity? ? Time is always short. As soon as the five people arrived outside the cemetery, they suddenly stopped and quickly hid behind a few trees.
In theory, there should be no people in the cemetery. At this time, seven or eight people were patrolling the cemetery, almost completely covering the small cemetery.
These people's clothes are better than ordinary citizens, and their bodies are much stronger. At first glance, they are the actions of a unified organization.
Dr. Swain was also obviously surprised, and then his expression tightened.
"Rocky."
In the cemetery, a richly dressed middle-aged man was walking among the people on patrol, and his voice floated in the wind.
“Please be vigilant. The Lord of the City cares about the people and does not want to see the corpses of the people’s ancestors destroyed by ghouls. We should share the worries of the Lord of the City.”
"The people buried here are all our ancestors. Helping the city lord share the worries is also protecting our own ancestors. You all should be braver."
"Keep a close eye on us. We must not let the ghouls destroy the cemetery, especially It is the city lord’s family cemetery.”
A reasonable behavior will not arouse any suspicion, but for the five people who have already suspected it, it is equivalent to making it clear that there is something wrong with the cemetery.
Dr. Swain took a few steps back, stared at Lynch and asked, "Why do you think the body is missing?"
"Remember the soldier who was bitten to death by Kemit?" Lynch Said, "He stood up and went crazy after being confirmed dead."
Dr. Swain nodded.
"This means that he was resurrected from the dead, but in a state of madness."
The expressions of several people changed, and Miss Diana said in surprise: "Does the city lord want to find a way to resurrect his child?"< br>
“That’s what I doubt.” Lynch nodded, “It’s a clichéd purpose, but it’s quite real for a father. This can also properly explain the city lord’s incomprehensible motives.”
< br>
"Where is the cliché?"
A few ladies looked puzzled, but Lynch just shook his head. In his previous life, it was already very cliché: "But now it seems that we have no chance to dig graves to verify. ”
“If you are really sure, it’s not impossible.”
Dr. Swain's voice came from behind. When the four of them turned around, they saw a big mouth full of fangs, grinning at them.
What the hell, why are you transforming?
