He is already very old and not physically agile. The injuries he had suffered in the past began to erupt at this time, putting a great burden on his body. So, Lake is now Old Lake.

Yes, time is so ruthless that it changes many things invisibly.

Lake is now old Lake. Old Lake realized this, so he consciously withdrew and no longer did other bloody killing missions. Instead, he began to go to the forest to capture monsters, doing what an old mercenary should do.

"After all, I, Old Lake, don't want to fight and die with those young people." Old Lake often thought so.

The days that followed were actually quite good. After all, Old Lake had been a mercenary and knew how to set traps and find and capture monsters based on traces and scent. Not to mention other things, for him, he had no worries about making a living.

But recently, Old Lake encountered a troublesome thing.

The little bastard he'd adopted, Rick, had suddenly vanished.

"Damn little bastard, he wouldn't just run into a woman's bed and never be willing to get down, would he?" Old Lake cursed inwardly, feeling worried in his heart.

Although Rick was his adopted child, he had always treated Rick as his own son. Now that Rick was missing, old Lake seemed to be complaining, but he was extremely anxious and couldn't calm down at all.

"After I capture the monster this time, I will take out my savings and hire some wizard apprentices to help me find Rick."

Old Lake thought so in his heart, he took a deep breath, and finally made up his mind.

"Rick, you little bastard, I will definitely teach you a lesson later!" Old Lake thought viciously in his heart.

He tried hard to calm himself down, then took out his bow and arrow and looked ahead carefully.

Suddenly, a figure seemed to appear in front.

Old Lake immediately raised the bow in his hand.

"Rick!" After seeing the figure, old Lake couldn't help but shout. He subconsciously put down the bow and arrow in his hand and strode forward.

"Damn it, you little bastard, where have you been, you..."

Old Lake cursed and swore at Rick loudly.

The figure in front suddenly moved, and then slowly raised his head and looked towards Old Lake.

“Ah~~Ah~~Ha~~Ha~”

Looking at the figure who looked like Rick but had the flesh on his face bitten off, revealing dark brown blood, had a pair of green eyes, and was drooling, Old Lake couldn't help but gasp.

The figure in front of him was indeed Rick, but...how could this be Rick? How could Rick still be alive like this?

"You little bastard..." Old Lake felt a chill all over his body and subconsciously took two steps back.

Before he could do anything, suddenly, there was a gust of wind beside him, and two figures suddenly pounced towards him.

Damn it! Old Lake cursed inwardly, and he stepped back. At the same time, he flipped his palm, and a short knife appeared in his hand, stabbing fiercely to the side.

The sound of the dagger piercing into flesh was heard.

However, what horrified Old Lake was that although his knife had clearly stabbed into a person's heart, the person's body just trembled, and then continued to pounce on him as if nothing had happened.

"ah!"

Bang! In an instant, Old Lake was thrown to the ground by the two figures. The two men began to bite him like crazy. He kept resisting, but still felt a sharp pain in his body and arms. He was pressed to the ground and bitten fiercely.

"Damn it, damn it...ah, ah, my God, what is this, these monsters, what on earth are they..." Old Lake felt deeply frightened and terrifying.

He looked forward and became even more terrified.

I saw countless figures similar to these two appeared, staggering and walking towards the front.

The town is ahead.

Very close.

The zombies have finally arrived in the town.

"Oh my God, I..." Old Lake's face showed horror. He wanted to shout something, but then he felt a flash before his eyes, and a black shadow flashed quickly and appeared in front of him.

It's Rick.

Rick's green eyes were full of black bloodshot. He let out a low roar, moved his body, and lay on Old Lake's chest. Then he suddenly bit Old Lake's neck hard.

"ah!!!!!"

Old Lake let out a shrill cry.

Soon, Old Lake couldn't shout anymore.

More and more zombies appeared and began to tear at his body, and soon, Old Lake was completely submerged and disappeared completely, while more zombies headed towards the town ahead.

They felt the breath of living people in the air, and a bloodthirsty look appeared on their faces.

Tick-tick-tick.

Ta-ta-ta! They began to run towards the Hongyang town ahead.

"These, these things...what are they?" The town guards were stunned when they discovered the zombies rushing towards them. Before they could do anything, they were overwhelmed by the countless zombies that were surging over them.

Countless screams, countless roars, countless wails, all rang out here.

Everyone is dying here.

This place has completely become a sea of ​​zombies.

…………

“Is this thing a zombie?”

In the castle, a middle-aged nobleman dressed in gorgeous silk and with a rather plump figure looked at the zombie below, whose limbs had been cut off and who was locked in an iron cage but still howled non-stop, and a look of interest appeared on his face.

He walked down from the chair, stroked his chin, and kept looking back and forth at the mutilated zombie.

"Is this the thing that devoured my Hongyang Town?" said the middle-aged nobleman. He stretched out his hand and pointed at the zombie in the iron cage in front of him.

"Yes, sir, these are the zombies."

Below, two knights in light armor were kneeling on one knee on the ground, talking to the middle-aged lord.

The middle-aged lord uttered "oh" softly and said nothing.

To be honest, as a lord who was obsessed with fun, he couldn't help but feel curious after seeing this zombie.

"My Lord, zombies are really very strange. They are very difficult to kill unless their heads are cut off. Otherwise, even if we injure them with spears and cross swords, they can still be very active and continue to survive, just like the zombie in front of us."

"In addition, zombies are highly contagious. People who have been bitten by zombies or killed by zombies will become new zombies. We have only eliminated some of them. Other zombies are heading to other towns under your territory. Some have even reached the territory of other lords... Wait, Lord, what are you doing? You... damn it!"

A knight was talking non-stop, when suddenly he saw the middle-aged lord actually reaching his hand in, ready to tease the zombie.

The knight's voice suddenly stopped.

His eyes widened.

The knight wanted to do something, but now it was too late.

"Ah, damn dirty thing!" The middle-aged lord cursed fiercely. Just now, the zombie without limbs actually moved towards him and bit his palm. Although he quickly withdrew his hand, he was still injured.

The middle-aged lord cursed and listened to the knight's voice, feeling that something was wrong.

"Wait, what did you just say... People who have been bitten by zombies will..." The middle-aged lord wanted to say something, but found that the two knights had stood up, and they looked at him with strange eyes.

“Damn you guys…Ah!!”

Screams were heard.

After a while, the two knights staggered and slowly walked out of the room.

"We..." One of the younger knights looked at the knight next to him and wanted to say something.

"Don't worry, what we are doing is right, it's right." The other knight had a dazed expression on his face, as if he was comforting the knight next to him, or as if he was comforting himself.

"But we are all injured!"

The younger knight suddenly shouted.

The other knight was startled. He thought of the lord's crazy shouting and grabbing when they killed him just now.

He raised his hand tremblingly, and sure enough, there was a faint bloodstain on the back of his hand.

"I, we..." The knight wanted to say something. He had no more.

"Zombies, zombies, we will all become zombies."

The younger knight had a strange expression on his face, as if he was laughing and crying at the same time.

The knight next to him loosened his grip, and the cross sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, making a crisp sound.

They can attack the lord, but they cannot attack themselves.

The two knights looked ahead. They could see many people coming and going in the castle, familiar people, strangers, many, many people.

Then, they thought about themselves, and a strange look appeared on their faces, as if they were neither smiling nor crying.

Zombies.

Zombies.

…………

Zombies appeared.

Moreover, the zombies swept in instantly with their unique characteristics.

Many small towns fell and became a sea of ​​zombies. Many noble territories were completely in disorder and occupied by countless zombies.

Many people died, including countless civilians, countless nobles, countless knights, and even a considerable number of wizards.

At this moment, the zombies finally formed a zombie tide and broke out completely.
