...
Outside the poisonous miasma, Mu Run sensed that Zi Gu had stopped calling for help, which meant that Fu Yunchen must have arrived. She wondered what had happened inside.
Glancing at Yang Yang, who was lying on the ground unconscious from exhaustion, and Qiao Dongzi, who was unharmed, he said to the latter, "We're not far from the mountain stronghold. You should take Yang Yang back to the stronghold first."
Qiao Dongzi replied, "I'll take him back after the boss comes out. Besides, he looks so tired now, he probably doesn't want to move."
"Then put something under him so he won't touch the ground and catch a cold."
"It's nothing, a grown man shouldn't be so fussy. We used to sleep by the river in the middle of the night and it was fine. Now the weather is still hot, and there's a cool breeze, it's so pleasant." Qiao Dongzi didn't care at all.
Mu Run: "..."
"What are your thoughts on the Corpse General incident, sister-in-law?" Qiao Dongzi asked, trying to divert her attention. Since Fu Yunchen entered the poisonous miasma, he could see her tension and the anxiety in her eyes.
Mu Run paused for a moment before replying, "Could it be a remnant of the previous dynasty?"
“Remnants of the previous dynasty… Alright, let’s investigate in this direction. The boss said that his wife’s intuition is always very sharp.”
"Intuition is something that has no basis in reality," Mu Run chuckled. "By the way, were the corpses of that corpse general and the corpse man burned?"
"It's been burned. The other injured people who were bitten but didn't turn into zombies have also been detained and are under observation for a period of time. They will only be released when it's confirmed that they are really alright."
"Let's wait and see. We need to be careful about the incubation period of this corpse poison. If it takes effect one day, it will be troublesome. Let's observe it for a while longer."
"Yes, sister-in-law. I'll make arrangements as soon as I get back."
As they spoke, the sound of horses' hooves approached from afar.
Mu Run, Qiao Dongzi, and the others looked in the direction of the sound.
In particular, Qiao Dongzi and others immediately became very vigilant and protected Mu Runxian.
Mu Run didn't recognize the newcomer, but Qiao Dongzi did; he was from Bianyun Village.
Upon seeing Qiao Dongzi, the other party immediately dismounted, saying, "Third Brother Qiao, something's happened."
"What happened?" His family was all in the mountain village, so he immediately became anxious upon hearing that something had happened.
Xiaosong replied, "Grandma Yang is seriously ill and looks like she's about to pass away."
"Who did you say?" Qiao Dongzi asked again.
"Grandma Yang is sick." Xiao Song saw Yang Yang lying on the ground, exhausted and unconscious. "We need to get Brother Yang back quickly."
Mu Run hurriedly said to Qiao Dongzi, "You should go and take a look too."
“But… I just saw her a few days ago, she was in excellent health, how could she suddenly fall ill? Besides, she’s a doctor, she should be able to manage her illness herself.” Qiao Dongzi looked at Xiao Song, his face suddenly darkening, “Who exactly are you?”
Several guards surrounded Xiaosong, pointing knives or guns at him.
Xiaosong was so frightened that he sat down on the ground with a thud, stammering, "I...I...I am, I am Xiaosong."
"Then let me ask you, how did the old man of the Song family get the scar on his left foot?" Qiao Dongzi asked.
“My grandfather…” Xiao Song’s face stiffened, and in the next instant he attacked the guard with lightning speed.
However, the guards that Qiao Dongzi brought were all experts. Not only did they prevent him from succeeding in his attack, but one of their shoulders was also dislocated by a single blow.
It all happened in the blink of an eye. Before Mu Run could even react, he saw Xiao Song's arm fly off, blood splattering, and he collapsed to the ground in pain.
