“Bang!!”

The hideous beast fell to the ground, raised its hands, and tried to catch the prey in front of it again, but the next moment the dark sword pierced its heart. A flash of light appeared, and then the wailing beast became silent and turned into a corpse again.

"call……"

Katima drew out the magic sword and looked around. The originally green grassland was now littered with corpses. It looked like a battlefield with mountains of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

“This is the last one.”

Fang Zheng glanced at the zombies at Katima's feet and spoke, while Katima nodded slightly.

"It seems so... Um, Mr. Kasugano."

"Um?"

"Have we... fallen into a trap?"

It is no wonder that Katima would have such thoughts. After all, she had just arrived in this world and was attacked by the enemy so quickly. Naturally, she would consider whether the other party had set a trap to deal with her and others.

However, Fang Zheng denied Katima's speculation.

"No, I don't feel anyone is watching us. Maybe we are just unlucky and encountered a horde of zombies."

"Zombies..."

Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Katima took a deep breath. She looked around again and saw more than thousands of corpses. If this was a trap set by the enemy, it would be fine, but if it was just an accidental encounter...

"Is there anyone still alive in this world?"

Looking at the dark forest in front of her, Katima couldn't help but shudder. She couldn't help but feel terrified when she thought that there might be only those horrible, ferocious corpses like wild beasts left in this world.

"Who knows? It depends on the level of development of civilization in this world."

Fang Zheng came to a zombie and lowered his head to observe it carefully.

"This thing's skin is quite tough. If it were in your world, Katima, it would probably be doomed. But if it were in our world, it would be dealt with with a carpet bombing. Of course, considering that the zombie swarm here has grown to such a scale, I don't think the level of civilization in this world is too high."

“…This is really hard to laugh at.”

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Katima's mouth twitched slightly, and she didn't even know what to say. Indeed, if such a terrible monster appeared in their world, Katima had no idea how to deal with it. Although she could defeat these zombies with the magic sword, other people's weapons might not be able to penetrate their bodies at all. If that time came...

Katima shuddered at the thought of her city and the people of her country becoming like this.

If that were the case, she would probably collapse completely.

Thinking about it this way, although General Daraba was cruel, but... seeing the tragic scene in front of her, Katima had to admit that it was much better than becoming like this.

"That's weird, what on earth is this?"

"A degraded sword spirit? But this is a human."

Fang Zheng had the same question as Banjiu Shayue. In fact, these zombies did emit a scent similar to the "hoko" they had seen in the previous world, that is, the smell of the holy sword spirits. According to Banjiu Shayue, they were low-level holy sword spirits. Unlike high-level holy sword spirits, they only had a certain self-will and acted completely according to orders.

However, the Sword Elves are also quite difficult to deal with. They have bodies that are invulnerable to ordinary iron, and extraordinary strength and speed. Unless one is a high-ranking Sword Messenger or a strong person with the same power, it is difficult to kill them.

Hmm...it does look a lot like this thing.

"What do you think, Turtledove?"

"Wow...it could also be due to the power of the sword."

"Hey? Can the sword do this kind of thing?"

Hearing this, Katima was shocked and subconsciously looked at the sword in her hand. And Banjiu Shayue looked at her and hurriedly smiled bitterly and waved her hand.

"Ah, no, what I mean is that each sword has a unique power. For example, Miss Katima's sword is mainly specialized in combat, while my sword is more focused on assistance and magic. Because the power of each sword is different, it seems that it is not impossible for there to be a sword that can create an army of zombies."

“So that’s how it is…”

Hearing this, Katima breathed a sigh of relief. For a moment, she thought that the sword in her hand also possessed such terrible power.

"So, where do we go now?"

"Since there are so many zombies here, I think there should be a gathering place for humans nearby..."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng jumped up and landed on the top of a big tree next to him, looking around for a moment.

"Oh, it's over there, let's go."

The three of them were not ordinary people. Under Fang Zheng's leadership, they arrived at the city gate outside the forest in a short time, but...

"Okay, I think now we know where those zombies came from."

Looking at the empty gate and the blood and body parts all around, Fang Zheng shrugged helplessly. The tragic scene before them also left Banjiu Shayue and Katima speechless.

After all, Fang Zheng had traveled through several worlds on the verge of destruction, so he was used to this kind of situation. But for the two girls, it was the first time they saw such a large city turned into a dead city.

"Are all the people here...dead?"

Passing through the gate and walking in the dilapidated, silent city, Katima lowered her voice, as if she was very afraid of accidentally waking up the sleeping souls.

"Who knows? At least we have no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation. We don't know how sharp these zombies are. If they have noses like dogs, it's probably impossible to kill any of them."

Different zombies have different means and methods of searching for enemies. Some zombies lock onto enemies through hearing, and even breathing and heartbeats can be detected. Some zombies have infrared functions similar to those of the Iron Man, and can detect heat sources hidden in the dark. Some zombies have a keen sense of smell like a dog, and can easily smell the scent of living people.

Of course, as for ordinary zombies...most of them rely on sound to locate their positions.

As for the situation of the zombies here, Fang Zheng had no idea.

"We'll find out when we have time to catch one alive and examine it."

"But then again, this city... is really weird."

Katima looked at the dim city in front of her anxiously. There were ruins of houses, coagulated blood, and even incomplete limbs everywhere. However, there was not a single corpse to be seen - well, this was also natural, after all, those who were attacked by zombies would join their team. All they saw along the way were death and dilapidated streets. Incomplete houses, broken swords and muskets. Even if there were no corpses, just this scene was enough to imagine how the people here wanted to survive desperately.

But they did not survive.

"It's clearly dead, but it still gives people the illusion that it's still alive..."

“That’s what zombies are.”

Fang Zheng retracted his gaze and answered casually.

"Besides, this city is mainly based on mines. Maybe the remaining zombies are still active right under our feet, but we just don't know about it."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng stepped on the ground beneath his feet.

"Should we continue to stay here?"

"There's no point in staying here, but fortunately there are things here that we can use."

Fang Zheng stopped and looked forward - in front of them, he saw a huge metal structure quietly parked on the track.

"This is?"

"A train, anyway, you can think of it as a steel carriage running along the track. This thing should be able to take us to find the talent."

Looking at the train in front of him, Fang Zheng laughed, but soon he raised his hands and summoned his weapons.

"But first, we need to give this place a good clean."

“Wu…Ah…!!”

As Fang Zheng spoke, bursts of angry roars were heard from the train. Then, zombies with livid bodies poured out from the train. They opened their arms and pounced on their prey while screaming.

"There are even women and children among them...?"

"This is only natural. After all, reality is not an animation. There is no unspoken rule that naughty kids will not die no matter what they do."

Fang Zheng snorted coldly and tightened his grip on the weapon.

"Okay, let's get ready for some spring cleaning!"

This was not an easy battle for Katima and Ikaruga Satsuki.

Although from the perspective of strength, these zombies could not harm them at all, but just looking at the appearance of these zombies, they couldn't bring themselves to do it.

Obviously, this train was the last refuge for the residents of this city, and they might want to leave here. But they failed in the end. There were naturally many women and children hiding in the train, and at this moment, their eyes were emitting red light, blood and tears, and their distorted and painful expressions were even unbearable to look at... So much so that both Katima and Banjiu Shayue were a little reluctant to kill them at this time.

"I say, what are you doing?"

Fang Zheng nonchalantly chopped down a bunch of zombies, then turned around and looked at the two timid people.

"You have to understand that if this continues, these people will only suffer more. Killing them will actually help them get rid of it... Do you understand?"

“I…I understand!”

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Katima hesitated for a moment, then nodded vigorously. Banjiu Shayue gritted her teeth, rushed forward, and raised the pure white lightsaber in her hand towards the child in front of her.

"Rest in peace. I will help you get revenge."

Looking at the child rushing towards him with tears and blood in his eyes, Banjiu Shayue whispered and swung the sword in his hand hard.
