Jiang Zhiyu was completely unaware of the terror on the other side. When he regained consciousness, he could only hear the "Awooo Awooo" sounds coming from all around him.
Jiang Zhiyu opened her eyes, and what she saw was a zombie with a purple body and a bloody mouth.
“!”
Jiang Zhiyu woke up instantly, her heart almost skipped a beat, and she looked around calmly.
Without exception, they are all zombies.
What happened? I just took a nap and the whole army was wiped out?
That doesn't make sense. There's no way she wouldn't wake up after being beaten.
And how could he still be conscious? What about the others?
Jiang Zhiyu stood up cautiously and began to search among the pile of zombies.
What I heard in my ears was a cry of "Awoo, Awoo," but in my mind it was automatically translated into words.
"Who is this person? Have you seen him?"
"I don't know."
"Have you seen it?"
“I don’t know either.”
Jiang Zhiyu: “…”
After searching around and not finding anyone else, Jiang Zhiyu breathed a sigh of relief and turned his attention back to the zombies.
Thinking of the conversation just now, Jiang Zhiyu's eyes flashed with thought.
From what we saw just now, it is enough to prove that these zombies can communicate with each other. Does that mean that they were also ordered to attack the city by the zombies?
Is it the Zombie King?
But hasn’t the Zombie King disappeared?
Or, besides the Zombie King, are there other zombies that can control zombies?
Is the quantity large?
With his mind full of questions, Jiang Zhiyu looked at the zombies busy at work and asked tentatively, "Where is this?"
The words that she was thinking about in her head actually made an "Awooo-ah-wooo" sound when she spoke them out loud.
You should be able to understand, right?
The zombie next to her paused, staring at her with only the whites of its eyes.
…
"We've found out. When the rebellion started, the Third Prince split up with his troops at the city gate. One of his troops was a woman. Judging by her attire, she was from the Southern Gu tribe."
"After the matter was settled, the Third Prince did not hand this person over. Instead, he placed her in his own palace. The servants in the palace also treated her as the prince's consort."
A Nan Gu woman as the prince's consort? Unless the emperor is too old and insane, this is absolutely impossible.
Su Bai scoffed lightly, his voice cold: "What else?"
"Miss Jiang had seen this Southern Gu woman in the Third Prince's residence the day before the incident. The Third Prince's behavior was unusual that day. After Miss Jiang's incident, the Southern Gu woman disappeared."
"I also discovered that when this Nan Gu woman was in the mansion, the servants behaved very abnormally, as if they were trying to please her."
"Could it be a Gu worm?" Su Bai touched his chin and refuted it before anyone could speak: "No, it's impossible. If it is a Gu worm, Jiang Zhiyu didn't get it for such a long time in Nan Gu, so it doesn't make sense that he would get it after returning to Shengjing."
"But no matter what, that Nan Gu woman must know something. Let's find out her whereabouts."
"yes!"
"By the way, has anyone in the Xu Mansion done anything today?"
"It's the same as usual, but Jiang Kang'an has become more vigilant, and my subordinates were almost discovered by him several times."
Su Bai nodded slowly and said no more.
…
"Have you found out who it is?" Jiang Kang'an pinched the bridge of his nose, his face full of fatigue.
Ah Fu nodded. "That man went all the way to Qingfeng Pavilion. I haven't met his master, but from what he said, he was investigating what happened to the young lady."
Jiang Kangan's breathing stopped.
Ah Fu continued, "But I didn't sense any ill will."
He has no ill intentions and is investigating Zhiyu's case. Could he be someone from He Yanting's side?
But he was far away in Mobei, and he blocked the news himself...
A face suddenly flashed through my mind.
His surname was Su, and he claimed to be an old acquaintance of Zhiyu. He said he had something important to tell him, but he had not been seen visiting in the past few days. I guess he was trying to find out about Zhiyu's news that day.
The emperor also said that he looked familiar, perhaps he had seen him with He Yanting.
That makes sense.
"Watch him more carefully. If you're sure he's He Yanting's man, then don't worry about him. But if he's not, just deal with him directly."
Jiang Kangan's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
He couldn't let the news about the young fish get out.
Ah Fu obeyed the order, and the moment he disappeared, a servant rushed in hurriedly.
He looked anxious and spoke incoherently. After being scolded by Jiang Kang'an, he finally managed to catch his breath and said, "Master, something bad has happened! The young lady, she's turned blue!"
Jiang Kangan stood up instantly.
Jiang Sulan was still the only one in Jiang Zhiyu's room. Her face was covered in tears, and her hands were shaking slightly. Seeing Jiang Kang'an come in, she instantly rushed to greet him as if she had found her backbone again. "I was just wiping Zhiyu's body when I found a bruise. I thought it was an old wound that hadn't healed yet. Just as I was about to apply medicine, I saw that the bruise suddenly spread all over Zhiyu's body. I didn't dare leave, so I hurriedly called the servant to go find you."
Her voice was trembling, and she was obviously very scared.
The bruises had spread to such an extent that even if Jiang Kangan hadn't walked in, he could see that they were densely packed on her exposed skin.
He almost flashed to the bedside, and after a careful examination, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"What should I do? Should I let that Nan Gu Priest..."
"She can't control her dreams," Jiang Kang'an shook his head. "Once she falls asleep, she can only rely on herself."
"That's not possible. We can just watch..."
Before he could finish his words, he sobbed a few times and tears began to fall.
Jiang Kangan was also extremely anxious: "Don't tell grandpa and grandma about this first. Zhiyu told me a name before. I will go and look for her. I'm sure she'll be fine."
Jiang Sulan looked at him with tears in her eyes.
Jiang Kang'an put Jiang Zhiyu's hand back into the quilt and tucked the corner of the quilt. Seeing that she didn't try to warm up like usual, he felt bitter in his heart.
He stood up and patted Jiang Sulan on the back: "After Big Brother leaves, this place is handed over to you. Remember, no one is allowed in before Big Brother comes back."
Jiang Sulan nodded firmly.
"Don't worry, big brother."
…
In the pile of zombies, Jiang Zhiyu understood everything from the zombies' howling sounds and waving of their claws and teeth.
This is the lair of the zombie king, and only high-level zombies can stay here.
That’s right, zombies are also divided into different levels.
The lowest level of zombies are those that wander the streets without consciousness and attack humans purely on instinct.
They have a little bit of consciousness, just like human babies reaching elementary school age, but they are a little taller.
People like them, who have the consciousness to deal with certain situations and can communicate with each other, are the highest level below the Zombie King.
The only ones who can stay here are zombies of this kind.
As for how she appeared here, none of the zombies could explain it. No one had ever seen her before. It was as if she appeared here out of thin air.
It really is a ghost, Jiang Zhiyu cursed in his heart.
