Fortunately, slimes are not considered living beings, otherwise the danger level of the entire continent would have to be raised by four or five levels.

Horry only went to see the city lord briefly to exchange greetings. With a formidable enemy at hand, he certainly wouldn't sit down for a drink.

So the three members of the team didn't have to wait long before Horry led a large group of people toward the east gate.

"What do you mean?" Horry asked in the group chat.

"Let's launch a swift and decisive attack on Black Street Forest," Xiao He replied.

Angelina remained obediently perched on his shoulder, seemingly shy when surrounded by people.

"OK! Here it comes!"

Without pausing, Huo's army charged toward the opened city gate.

Wang Xuefeng had no intention of going down; the range was sufficient for him, and besides, there was no suitable vantage point in the forest.

So Dai Lele followed Xiao He and jumped down from the city wall.

"Damn it, it's her again!!"

"Give me a break. She's his girlfriend; it's normal for them to stick together."

"hateful……"

Holding the Fangtian Demon Halberd, Huo Lei turned his head and glanced at Xiao He, who was on his horse, and suddenly grinned lewdly.

"Hey, the box."

"Hmm?" Xiao He's consciousness was immersed in He Yu, focusing intently on searching for any possible signs of life.

"I'm going to write a book when I get back!"

What book?

My roommate turned into a little girl!

"Wake up, nobody's watching. Get back to work." Xiao He said calmly, "See that old street ahead? Don't go in yet, there might be an ambush."

Horry curled his lip, thinking to himself: What an oblivious person!

This time, the elite team is much smaller, with fewer than a hundred members. If they all enter the Black Street, they risk unnecessary losses if they can't maintain formation.

"What are your plans?" Horry looked into the depths of the dark street, where there was indeed a chilling atmosphere.

"Keep your team under Lele's command. With Xuefeng providing signals, clearing out the monsters around Black Street shouldn't be a problem," Xiao He said.

"Okay." Huo Lei turned around and quickly gave instructions to the Huo family army.

It seems that after the first time, they got used to it the second time.

Anyway, whenever Xiao He arrived, General Lei Ting always liked to abandon them and go to fight alone.

As for having a young girl like Dai Lele in command, they were initially unconvinced. However, during the battle against hundreds of monsters by the river, Dai Lele fully demonstrated her ability to command in team battles.

With the addition of a sharpshooter lurking in the shadows, the two can reliably handle even hundreds of monsters together.

Looking at him from all angles, it seems that none of the major general's "friends" are not strong.

This made them all feel awe.

"Perhaps this is the renowned strength of Cloud Realm!" everyone thought.

Ta-da...

The quiet, dark street echoed with the crisp sound of horses' hooves.

The hustle and bustle outside and the deathly silence here created a stark contrast.

It was as if I had entered an isolated space-time, and I could get in but not get out. This deep sense of oppression lingered in my heart.

The next moment, everyone outside the Black Street was shocked.

With a whoosh, the dark street was suddenly enveloped by a pure black barrier, making it impossible to see anything inside. Clearly, the two who had just entered had encountered something.

As everyone expected, this street is undergoing astonishing changes.

Hori had already put away his horse and stood back-to-back with Xiao He in a defensive posture.

The moment the barrier rose, the entire sky turned black.

Standing still and looking around, I still felt the same way about the seeds and the moonless night.

Dark, damp, and cold.

"Squeak—"

A rotten wooden door opened.

A leg slowly emerged from within, a leg consisting only of white bone.

But as his entire body emerged, his flesh and blood had been fully restored.

The only difference between him and a living person is that his eyes are empty, devoid of soul.

Xiao He frowned; the corpse showed no signs of life.

“Walking corpses that move on their own,” Xiao He said to Huo Lei.

The latter did not rush to act, because with a series of rustling sounds, the street slowly "came to life".

When Xiao He first came here, he wanted to ask Hong Lian why the street was deserted. Now he finally had the answer.

So they're all dead.

They were inexplicably resurrected, without even realizing it themselves.

They don't think about life and death, let alone revenge; they simply wander like sleepwalkers in the places they once lived.

If the group of walking corpses launched an attack, the two would find it somewhat normal.

It was precisely this bizarre scene that forced them to remain in place and observe cautiously.

A big-headed girl doll wobbled up to Xiao He and grinned.

"Sister...sister...okay...hehe...hehehe..."

Their recovery was not thorough, perhaps because there were too many deaths, resulting in various flaws in the recovery of many people.

For example, missing an arm or a leg, bleeding immediately after being resurrected... or like this little girl, talking while a maggot crawls out of her face.

Horry remained unmoved, calmly surveying his surroundings: "Is someone making arrangements?"

Xiao He shook his head: "At least not yet."

"Shall we do it?"

“They must have died unjustly.” Xiao He pondered for a while and said, “If we kill people, it might trigger something… It seems that they won’t change for the time being. Why don’t we walk around and see if we can find any clues to solve this problem?”

"good."

Horry tentatively took a few steps forward, but the "people" didn't react. The two exchanged a glance and began to cautiously venture deeper into the area.

Xiao He had been here before and was relatively familiar with the place, but back then every house had its doors tightly shut, while now almost all of them are open.

These "people" not only didn't attack them, but some even nodded politely to them, as if they were really alive.

"It's a bit creepy," Horry couldn't help but mutter.

Xiao He didn't reply. He was walking backwards behind Huo Lei, and what he saw was even more horrifying than what Huo Lei saw.

Because after they passed by, these "people" seemed to be attracted by something and stood still, quietly watching them.

If only one person was staring like that, it would be fine.

But at this moment, whether on the street, upstairs, or in the window, everyone was looking at them with this posture, which inevitably made it feel very eerie.

"Waaaaah..."

"My home..."

"Waaah..."

"Where has my home gone...?"

A sudden sobbing sound came from afar, and Horrey couldn't help but pause in his tracks.

The voice sounded like crying, like resentment, and even reached a point of obsession.

To outsiders, it would sound like someone who's crazy.
