C32

In the moonlight they were ragged, like refugees. Of course, there wouldn't be any refugees rushing about in the middle of the night. These people had exceptionally pale skin and red eyes. Some of the muscles on his body started to rot, and some of the worse ones were the white bones.

They were living corpse, humanoid monsters. Likes to move at night, capturing humans and all living creatures for food.

Now, these living corpse were staggering as they walked on the road. Then, Zero saw that behind them, there were more living corpse walking out from the direction of the Silver Tree City.

"Thirty or more." Gian put down his infrared telescope and asked worriedly.

Tai Di said anxiously: "Then what do we do, we leave immediately?"

"No, let's wait and see." Zero denied directly.

The living corpse would naturally not come out for a stroll, and there was no food available outside the Silver Tree City. So, it was impossible for this huge group of living corpse to come out for the sole purpose of hunting. Two years ago, there weren't many living corpse in Silver Tree City. After being killed by the living corpse leaders and butchers, the newly formed social system had been destroyed. Without a leader, living corpse who had lost control of their powers, would either die fighting each other or leave the Silver Tree City for a more distant place.

Right now, these thirty odd living corpse should be all that remained in Silver Tree City. Now that the living corpse had gone all out, rather than to hunt, it was more appropriate to say that it was a group migration. Silver Tree City no longer had any extra food to provide the living corpse's survival needs, unless they were to eat their own flesh and blood like the old living corpse Zero had seen. Otherwise, because of hunger, the remaining living corpse would definitely have internal strife, and the surviving living corpse would not be able to live for long.

These living dead were using the night's worth of time to hurry on their way. During the day they would hide in the shadows, or bury themselves in the ground until it was dark. This was an unknown journey. The destination might be a few kilometers away, or it might be several thousand kilometers away, or it might be ? There was no end. Who knows.

The campfire had gone out and everyone was hiding in the car. As long as nothing unexpected happened, the migrating living corpse s had a very high chance of ignoring them. But seeing that the living corpse s were getting closer and closer to the road in the direction of the farm, Gian and the others started to get nervous. living corpse were very sensitive monsters with both sense of smell and hearing. Once these people tensed up, it would cause their body temperature to rise. If they made any more noise, they would have no choice but to fight the living corpse.

With the strength of their side, killing these thirty plus living corpse should not be a problem. However, this way, Zero could not guarantee that there would be no casualties. At the very least, the weaker women and children would not be able to escape the bite of the living corpse.

The living corpse were rushing on their way and did not notice the green car parked at the side of the abandoned farm. Thus, the people inside the carriage all heaved a sigh of relief when they saw the living corpse slowly pass by.

However, the God of Luck seemed to have suddenly left. Because a living corpse in the middle of the group suddenly stopped, he strongly sniffed something, then woodenly turned around to look at the direction of the car. Following that, the living corpse left the group and swaggered towards the direction of the farm.

"Fuck, prepare to fight." Gian cursed in a low voice and at the same time opened the safety lock on his gun.

Once the arrow was shot, the sound of the gunshot would definitely attract the attention of the other living corpse. Although these things walked very slowly, once they found food, they would run faster than rabbits and move more nimbly than monkeys. And in such an open space, even with the help of a machine gun, it was hard to ensure that the living corpse could not get past the fire net.

Fighting meant casualties, but now they had no choice.

However, Zero's hand was on Gian's spear. "Don't shoot, I'll be right back."

With that, Zero floated silently out of the car like a ghost. Like a cautious cat, he lowered his body and used the cover of the short tree and the slope to dive towards the lone living corpse.

When he was still a few meters away from the living corpse, Zero hid under a dwarf tree and silently watched the living corpse approach.

Five meters, four meters, three meters ? As the distance between them shortened, Zero's breathing became more and more slender, until it became completely silent.

When the living corpse arrived under the tree, his sensitive hearing detected a strange sound coming from the tree. His voice was very soft, but it couldn't be hidden from him. The living corpse raised its head, only to see a flash of white light before it lost consciousness.

Both of his feet hooked onto a branch, and as the living corpse passed by, he drooped down the small tree. Using the dagger in his hand, he stabbed into the center of the living corpse's brows, destroying the nerves in its head and stopping the living corpse's function. He nimbly jumped down the tree, lightly supported the living corpse with his back, and used both his arms to clasp the living corpse's shoulders. Then, he carried the real corpse behind the tree.

Seeing how Zero had quietly taken care of one of the living corpse, the people in the carriage all looked a little unnatural. Especially Gian, he couldn't help but touch his own neck, and felt lucky that his head was still on his own neck. After taking care of the living corpse, there were no other living corpse that approached them. They watched as their group left, and then the people on the carriage sighed in relief.

After surviving through the night, the sun had yet to rise during the day. The green car started up, waking many who were still asleep, then turned around and headed back to the highway, continuing the unending journey.

While they were heading to Remte, a group of carriages arrived at Z7 base at the same time.

The convoy consisted of two composite armored vehicles, one in front and one behind, and a black sedan that looked like an old era. The black car had an ordinary appearance, but the interior was clad in composite armor, which was sufficient to withstand the powerful impact. Just this car that had such a grand appearance and was also a practical car, its construction cost was not even on top of the armoured vehicle. It could be called luxurious.

An hour before the convoy arrived at the base, Jetto, who was temporarily in charge of managing the base, brought the surviving miners and waited outside the base. That was the convoy from the Parkland's valve, and Jetto heard that the one who came was a huge figure.

The team stopped at the entrance of the base. Two large men in black suits got out of the car and respectfully opened the door. When a pair of black military boot s stepped out of the car door, Jetto and everyone else lowered their heads.

A young man stepped out of the back of the car. He was only in his twenties, with short, golden hair. He wore a dark red leather robe with a high collar. The leather robe was beautifully crafted, unlike the coarse clothing of this era. On the chest of the robe, there was a black pattern. It was a picture of a long sword and shield, with the style of a knight from the old era. As for the cuffs of the robe, there were two black patterns on each of them, making the robe even more extravagant.

The followers of the young man were all half-bent. Not only was it out of respect for the man's identity, it was also out of respect for the organization that this robe represented.

The name of the organization was "Dark Council" and this robe was the uniform of the organization's martial arts group "Blood Knight"!
