Chapter 431 City Lord's Mansion
Lin Qi never thought of being the savior of the world, especially in 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.
What you do is true to your heart, and you do 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 wants to do is to plant the Human Face Fruit in peace and complete the task, and by the way, see what characteristics Mordiggian's disease will have when it transforms 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 be To fall here.
"It's not over yet. We must not give up easily until the last moment." The four of them had avoided Dr. Swain, and Lynch gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "We still have a chance, as long as we can Find the body and you can regain 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 am also speculating, but it may not be true." Lynch He hesitated for a moment and said, "And I'm talking about finding the body, not destroying it."
"Huh?"
"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. There is a purpose.”
“So what is his purpose?”
“I don’t know, maybe it’s just for the plague. It is necessary to take risks to keep the body. Now that he left the body and protected it well, I think this resuscitated body must be a very important tool for her. So once we can control this body, we will. Now that we have the hostages, as long as we can get old Swain to give us one more day, we can complete the task, and the rest will depend on our 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.
Destiny has planned everything.
In fact, it is not easy to find the resurrected 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 always refused. I haven’t come back yet, and I don’t know where I took little Jack with me.
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 who have hidden their 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 the opportunity arises, he will return to the corpse as soon as possible.
As long as you find old Swain, you will 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 preserved. Within twenty-four hours, the owner of the blood can be sensed through the secret technique. Location.
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 rotten smell coming to your face, 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 it is very dangerous to make a desperate move, and most of them will fail, so everyone decided to launch two countermeasures at the same time.
Dr. Swain is responsible for preparing as many medicines as possible, and Knight Terry and his soldiers are 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 of them were not applicable to such small cities, most of them were quite targeted and did not go through In actual combat tests, it is difficult to consider such practical issues.
Miss Diana couldn't help but marvel, Mr. Lynch is really a treasure man and a natural expert in handling public affairs.
Haha, I just smiled and said nothing.
Lin Qi really couldn't answer, but although the source of experience is very subtle, it is effective experience that has been tested in actual combat. It is still very easy to deal with such a small scene of 8,000 people. Under Lynch's guidance, the remaining less than 200 soldiers took action. The entire city was under martial law, and no one was allowed to leave their residence without soldiers following them. People were then guided in different areas to go to the fort to take medicine, and then returned to their homes under the supervision of soldiers.
But before that, there is still a problem that needs to be solved.
City Lord.
If you want to make such a big move in the city, you must obtain the consent of the city lord, otherwise it will be tantamount to rebellion. Terry must first ask the city lord for instructions, 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 prevent Terry from never coming back, the four of them decided to accompany Terry to see the city lord first and then track down old Swain.
It’s best if the city lord doesn’t object to martial law. If he objects, the four of them will convince him. If the city lord really can’t listen, the four of them also know some techniques to make people reserve their opinions. Anyway, with Terry as internal support, the defense of the city lord's mansion shouldn't be a problem.
Moreover, the four of them also wanted to go to the basement to take a look. If they could find the body directly, it would save them the trouble of tracking it.
Terry hesitated for a while, but finally retained his objection, which shows that the skills of the four are indeed effective.
So the soldiers began to secretly prepare for martial law operations, and Terry led four people into the city lord's palace openly.
The castle lord's palace is a large castle, which is completely in line with Lynch's imagination of a medieval castle. The castle is still peaceful, and the guards are still joking with Terry Knight, and there is no tension at all.
The group of people walked deeper into the magnificent castle, and 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 turned a blind eye to Terry, an acquaintance whom he chatted with until midnight last night. He lowered his head and passed by a few people, only passing by. Shi raised his head and glanced up, which made the group take a breath.
There is indescribable madness in a pair of blood-red eyes.
He was also infected.
In shock, Rocky slowly turned his head and left, leaving only a stiff back.
The four of them finally understood what it was like to be a controlled infected person, but...
He came out, what about the city lord?
Everyone looked in the direction of the castle hall at the same time.
