However, facing the objections of others, Xia Houjun, who appeared calm but was in turmoil, could no longer listen to the advice: "If you don't want to die, don't point fingers in front of me."
"……yes."
When the bone flute sounded, the living dead, who had been standing on the ground and only twitching occasionally, suddenly began to move. The strange thing was that these living dead did move, but after moving for a while, they twisted in all kinds of ways on the spot and refused to listen to Xiahou Chun's instructions.
However, how could the people tell that something had happened to these zombies? Seeing their terrifying appearance, they panicked: "Wow, the zombies are going to eat people, everyone run!"
"Help! Help! Help!"
Seeing the Qinghe County City suddenly turned into chaos, Xiahou Jun was only thinking about these living dead. "Strange, why are they out of control? The Pavilion Master clearly showed me that this is the right thing to do before he left."
Someone suggested, "Sir, could there be something wrong?"
“That shouldn’t be the case!”
As he was speaking, the living dead who were no longer under the control of the bone flute suddenly made very strange cries. It was as if they came back to consciousness in an instant, and they fell to the ground in pain and struggled. The scene was extremely horrifying for a while.
"Sir, look, there seems to be something wrong with those living dead!"
Xiahou Jun said that he had never seen such a situation before, and Xiahou Qing had not mentioned anything similar when he left: "Go, bring Huangfu Zhong to me immediately, right away!"
Huangfu Ning, who had been silently observing Xiahou Jun's every move in the chaotic crowd, couldn't help but smile when he saw his lips move. He said, "Finally, we've found him. However, it seems that although our method is effective, it doesn't seem to be enough to kill him."
Huangfu Ning took advantage of the chaos and disappeared into the crowd. However, the three Huangfu brothers who caused this chaos encountered some trouble in front of the city gate.
Huangfu Chongcong looked at the chaotic scene in the city with some concern and said, "Brother, the city gates are blocked, and the towers are full of archers. It's not easy to escape."
Huangfu Chongjun's face darkened, and he turned to look at Huangfu Chongyou and asked, "Is it the same over there?"
Huangfu Chongyou nodded and said, "Yes, I heard that several city gates have been blocked, and no one can get out."
"This is bad." If they don't leave the city quickly, firstly, they won't be able to meet Huangfu Ning at the agreed time. Secondly, if they are found by the people from Tianshu Tower, not only will they not be able to escape, but they will also be unable to withstand the torture and will confess everything in no time!
Huangfu Chongcong was also very worried and said, "Brother, do you think we will be silenced here?"
Huangfu Chongjun said that he was the eldest brother now and he couldn't mess around. As the eldest brother, he had to see his two younger brothers out safely, even if it meant risking his own life. "No, I'm here, and I won't let anything happen to you. If we can't get out of the city gate, there must be other ways out. Let's find a place to hide first and make a long-term plan."
Huangfu Chongyou's eyes rolled, and a light bulb went off in his head. He suddenly thought of a great place to go: "Hey, big brother, why don't we hide somewhere in the black market. If the people in the black market want to leave, we just follow them relentlessly, and we will definitely get out!"
Huangfu Chongjun couldn't help but nod and said, "That's a good idea. The sable is in my uncle's hands, so he should be able to find us. We should try to eliminate as many traces as possible along the way. If we get caught or something happens to us, that would only cause trouble for my uncle."
"Um!"
When Huangfu Zhong, pretending to know nothing, was ushered out of the secret room where he had been hiding by the people from Tianshu Tower, he asked in confusion, "Why are you so anxious? Has something serious happened?"
The person who came to pick up Huangfu Zhong couldn't explain what had just happened in a few words, so he could only explain briefly: "Mr. Huangfu, you are the only one who can save us now. Those living dead suddenly lost control. If the Pavilion Master knew about this, we would really be doomed."
Huangfu Zhong said in shock, "Out of control, how could this happen? Quick, let's go faster!"
“……!”
However, the people in Tianshu Tower were so anxious about the affairs of the government office that they didn't pay much attention to the situation behind them. Before he could say a few more words to Huangfu Zhong, he was knocked unconscious from behind.
Huangfu Zhong looked at the disciple of Tianshu Tower lying on the ground, with a slight smile on his face, "Brother, thank you for bringing me out."
Huangfu Ning saw that Huangfu Zhong was still safe and sound, and said with a smile, "From your looks, it seems that they haven't discovered that there is anything wrong with the Shengxi Gu yet."
Huangfu Zhong nodded slightly and said, "Not yet. Fortunately, Xiahou Qing is not in Qinghe County City right now, otherwise my trick would be useless."
Huangfu Ning leaned against the wall and raised his eyebrows, "Why, don't you ask who I am?"
Huangfu Zhong took a few steps closer, bowed, and said, "I've never seen you before, but I know you're from the Huangfu family. You have the same aura as me."
"This is not the place to talk, follow me."
"……good."
After Huangfu Ning brought Huangfu Zhong to a secret location he had discovered during his earlier scouting, he looked in the direction of the government office and said, "Their experiment was effective, but they just didn't achieve their goal. It won't be long before the Shengxi Gu recovers, and the sub-Gu in these living dead will also recover."
On the way here, Huangfu Ning had already told Huangfu Zhong his identity, and also briefly explained to him the matter of the three brothers of the Huangfu family.
Huangfu Zhong said that judging by the actions of the living dead, Huangfu Xiong was just as he had imagined, a man with unique talents. "It's a shame, but the true face of Tianshu Tower can no longer be hidden. These unarmed civilians seem helpless at first glance, but if they unite, they will be enough to give Tianshu Tower a hard time."
Huangfu Zhong then stated that, true to Xiahou Chun's character, while he feared nothing, he was only afraid of Xiahou Qing's scolding. Seeing the situation now, he must have had the four city gates sealed when he knew there was an explosion and the undead would be exposed. He didn't mind, but the Huangfu family couldn't be harmed here. "The city gates should be sealed now. How are you planning to get out?"
Huangfu Ning patted his chest and assured: "I have the only way, you don't have to worry. Now that I'm here, I will definitely take you away."
They couldn't go through the city gate and couldn't go around it. If those three kids had any brains, they would have gone to the black market shops for help.
