"Brother, boss..." Asosuo was lying in the courtyard, eating melon seeds and drinking wine, looking very comfortable. Suddenly, he looked at Mo Lin who was slowly solidifying his body in the yard, and he screamed and stood up quickly.

Maureen looked at him and said nothing.

"I have something I need to do after this."

After thinking about it, Morin said this to Asosuo.

At the same time, he looked at Xilan, who was also solidifying his body, and Hera, who appeared outside the door, panting. Obviously, he was saying the same thing to them.

"I need to meditate for a while. If there is anything during this time, I'm sorry to trouble you." Morin looked at Xilan deliberately, and the expression on his face seemed a little serious.

"good."

Sheeran didn't say much, just nodded slightly at the end.

Morin smiled, then he entered a stone chamber and set up a witchcraft circle to provide safety precautions to avoid being disturbed in the future.

"I always feel that this demonic energy is a little strange..." Morin stood in front of the test bench. He flipped his hand and took out a tube of black liquid he had collected. This was the liquefied black demonic energy.

Maureen narrowed his eyes slightly.

He began to experiment.

Maureen was conducting research, but things outside were still very unsettled, with many things happening and ongoing.

Thorne sat in a chair.

He had a smile on his face and looked somewhat relaxed, yet at the same time, a bit sighing.

Before that, he went to meet with Morin. After talking with Morin, his environment and condition suddenly improved a lot. Whether it was the external pressure from the Red Maple Forest Principality and several other principalities, as well as various internal pressures, all were alleviated a lot.

"Thank you so much, Morin, Mr. Morin."

Thorne muttered to himself.

He was not stupid and naturally knew that there would be such a change. It was all because of Morin. Otherwise, his situation would still be as bad as before, and it might even get worse as time went by.

This time it was all because of Maureen.

"Mr. Morin..." Thorne stood up, looked up at the night sky, muttered to himself, with a sigh on his face.

Then Thorne thought of something.

"Strange, why do we feel that there are fewer people among us in Tuso recently? Although the number is not particularly large, but... it's really a bit strange." Thorne frowned and muttered to himself subconsciously.

"Someone come!"

After thinking about it, Thorne suddenly shouted.

"King!" Two knights walked in, knelt on one knee towards Thorne, and bowed respectfully.

"You go to the place where people are missing and investigate to find out what happened and where the problem occurred." Thorne stared at the two knights on the ground and began to say this.

The two Tusuo knights bowed and agreed, and they retreated respectfully.

After a while, the sound of horse hooves continued to be heard. The two knights led a team of knights and galloped forward without stopping. They soon disappeared in the distance.

"I hope they can figure out the truth and know what all this is for." Thorne thought to himself as he watched the knights gradually go away.

The two knights were his confidants and had outstanding abilities. They were able to handle many of the tasks Thorne assigned to them properly. Logically speaking, there should be no problems. But now, watching them leave, Thorne suddenly felt uneasy.

Like something bad is going to happen.

"Damn it." Thorne withdrew his gaze and cursed softly.

It's not just the Tusuo people who are experiencing sudden disappearances of people, including in several principalities including Red Maple Forest.

But for the nobles, this is just a trivial matter. After all, the missing people are civilians, not nobles or extraordinary people.

Well, just live your life as usual. Is there any need to worry about those civilians?

You're really thinking too much.

"It's just that some civilians are missing. It's just a small matter. Just leave it to the local sheriff to handle." King Hongfenglin sat on the chair. He looked at the minister who reported the news to him, waved his hand, and said impatiently.

"That's... okay, Your Majesty."

The minister was an old man. Although he felt that something was wrong, he could not tell what was wrong specifically. Now when he heard the king say that there was no need to investigate it in detail, he was stunned for a moment, then bowed to the king and said this.

Since the king has said that he will not pursue the matter any further, then let’s not pursue it any further.

That’s right, the king is right, those people are just civilians.

There are many duchies that have reacted similarly to the Red Maple Forest Duchy. Although a small number of duchies have responded and taken countermeasures, those responses and measures were no more than sending a noble out to investigate, and there was nothing else after that.

It's already very good that they can achieve this.

After all, those people are just civilians.

However, many things are changing invisibly and happening unintentionally in this quiet process.

night.

A faint grayish-white mist floats in the air, appearing and disappearing, giving people a psychedelic and chilling feeling.

“Roar~Ah~~”

A faint voice came over.

In the gray-white mist, two figures first appeared.

The two figures were completely rotten, with wounds on their bodies rolled up and turned grayish white. They were covered in dark brown blood and large patches of dried blood scabs, and had a pair of green eyes. At this moment, the two corpses were stiff and were moving slowly forward.

They were said to be two corpses, but these two looked more like the zombies that Morin knew in his previous life.

Zombies.

Zombies appeared.

And these two corpses were none other than Klaue and Kern who were killed by Emma before. They were the first to become zombies, but now, there are more than just two of them.

Behind them, human figures appeared one after another. Those figures were shaking, their movements were stiff, and large parts of their bodies were bitten off. They were nothing else but zombies one after another.

Countless zombies staggered forward in the night, their pairs of green eyes moving around as if glowing, looking filled with an indescribable creepy feeling.

There is a small town ahead.

“Roar~~”

Klaue and Kern let out low strange roars. After figuring out the direction, they led the many zombies slowly towards the town ahead.

The night is quiet and everything is sleeping peacefully. In this quiet night, countless zombies are shaking their bodies and staggering forward.

They have arrived quietly.

Zombies are out!
